With the telegram sent by the Xifeng City Garrison for help, He Zhizhong, who was worried about whether the Red Army would set up an ambush in the middle of the road, although he did not understand how this independent regiment of the Red Army besieging the city obtained such a heavy weapon as mountain artillery.

According to the information provided by the garrison regiment, this Red Army, which was accelerating the siege of the city, surrounded the entire Xifeng City. This means that without the strength of a single regiment, this kind of encirclement attack will certainly not be possible.

Thinking of this, He Zhizhong also knew very well that if the Red Army was really allowed to attack Xifeng City, I was afraid that the following battle would not be easy to fight. Therefore, he must order the troops to support Xifeng as quickly as possible and annihilate this Red Army in Xifeng.

Such an accelerated march was undoubtedly extremely physically exhausting for the officers and men of the 103rd Division. And in this era, except for the Central Army and the Gui Army, which are equipped with few cars, these Guizhou troops naturally cannot afford to be equipped with such high-end goods.

How can you walk on two legs without exerting a lot of physical strength?

Just when the officers and soldiers felt that this rush was the same as urging orders. Seeing the vanguard of the 103rd Division enter the ambush circle, He Zhengdao also felt that this battle was easy to fight. Looking at this group of rushing Qianjun, it is estimated that they are tired enough!

As the Chinese army of the 103rd Division entered the shelling range of the artillery battalion, He Zhengdao raised his signal gun and fired a shot. The red signal flare flew into the sky, causing the officers and men of the 103rd Division who were marching to freeze in place for a few seconds.

At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the sky. He Zhizhong, who heard this voice, instantly turned over and dismounted: "Shelling!" There is an ambush among us, scattered! Hurry up and find a hidden place to defend and counterattack on the spot! ”

With the shouting of He Zhizhong and many officers of the Guizhou Army, the officers and men of the 103rd Division, who were in a panic, saw the earth-shattering explosion on the road they were traveling. Many officers and men who were caught off guard were soon killed or wounded.

At the same time, the officers and men of the independent division who were ambushed on both sides of the mountain beam lifted the camouflage that covered them, pointed their guns at the Qianjun troops under the mountain, and pulled the trigger in their hands. Soon, the entire ambush valley became bursting with gunfire.

Looking at the dense machine gun sound, as well as wave after wave of shelling, He Zhizhong, who was guarded by the guards in the ditch on one side. He said with a pale face: "How is it possible?" How can it be? Isn't the main force of the Red Army still in Moutai? ”

In He Zhizhong's view, such an ambush was possible only for the main forces of the Red Army. But the problem is that, according to the information provided above, the main force of the Red Army should be on the front line of Maotai Town at present, and it is still two or three days away from here!

Looking at his subordinates who were scurrying around, He Zhizhong also knew that the 103rd Division was finished. But he felt very wronged and felt that the information provided to him by the Central Army was wrong. But right now, no matter how unwilling he is, there is nothing he can do.

The commander of the guard battalion, who served as the guard, lay beside him and said, "Division, we can't delay any longer." While the Red Army has not yet closed the encirclement, let's hurry up and break through! Otherwise, we won't even have the strength to break through the encirclement. ”

The commander of the guard battalion, who had dealt with the Red Army, was well aware of such firepower, at least one of the main divisions of the Red Army. In addition, the opponent also has mountain artillery, such a heavy weapon with an attack, it is impossible for them to counterattack.

What they have to do now is to protect He Zhizhong to break through. As long as He Zhizhong can live, they will have a chance to make a comeback. If even He Zhizhong is folded here, they will really be finished.

'With such firepower, how can we break through?' ’

Looking at the ferocious firepower sprayed from the mountains on both sides, how can he know that such firepower may not even be available to the Central Army. If he hadn't known that there was no main division of the Central Army near Guiyang, he would have suspected that the Central Army ambushed him again!

Listening to He Zhizhong's frustrated performance, the guard battalion commander continued: "Please rest assured, our guard battalion is desperate, and we will escort the division commander out." The three regiments were at the back of the line, and they suffered a little less blow.

As long as we rush through these few hundred meters and let the three regiments set up blocking positions, we believe that we will be able to delay the attacking Red Army for a while. A regiment commander, organize the troops to break through, and the division commander must be sent out! Otherwise, we're all doomed! ”

Even in the eyes of others, He Zhizhong is an anti-bone boy. The subordinates who can follow him are all aware of the fact that the Central Army actually controls the military and political power in Guizhou. As long as you don't want to die, you know that only by joining the Central Army can you live.

If He Zhizhong died here, these officers, who had placed their families in the new drum field, would also have no way to live. With their understanding of the Central Army, they are afraid that the money they have accumulated in the past will be looted.

But if He Zhizhong can return to the new drum field alive, even if they die here, I believe He Zhizhong will also save their families. It is precisely because of these things that these He Zhizhong's henchmen will decide to send He Zhizhong away desperately.

Look at the 103 Division, which was cut into several parts, and began to organize a small counterattack. He Zhengdao immediately said: "Order the mortar companies of the second and third regiments to focus on attacking those troops that have gathered together.

In addition, the artillery battalion was ordered to freely search for targets for shelling and defeat them as soon as possible. The second battalion of the logistics regiment was brought up to strengthen the attack on the left. Without my orders, you are not allowed to attack. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

The correspondent who stayed by He Zhengdao's side quickly conveyed the order given by He Zhengdao. Soon, some of the Guizhou troops who had been scattered and reunited found that more shells were being thrown at their gathering place.

Under such shelling, the small counterattack that had just been formed soon broke out again. After receiving the order, the second battalion of the logistics regiment, which was transferred, began to join the attacking camp one after another.

Although many of the captives felt a little unbearable, they all knew that from the moment they put on the uniforms of the Red Army, they had no way out. If they did not gain the trust of the Red Army, they would have a hard time in the future.

But there were still quite a few prisoners who had just gone anyway, and under the watchful eyes of those Red Army veterans, finally pulled the bolt of the gun and began to shoot. Because they all know that this is a test for them by He Zhengdao.

Wu Zhefeng, who was also sent to the front-line position, looked at the comrades-in-arms who fell to the ground wailing at the bottom of the mountain, but he never had the heart to shoot. Even though the Red Army soldier lying next to him glared, he still did not shoot with a bitter face.

'Don't dare to shoot, just get out of here!' I despise you half-heartedly! ’

A Red Army soldier who kept shooting seemed to be very angry at Wu Zhefeng's refusal to shoot. couldn't help but say such words, but the commander of the second battalion of the logistics regiment just happened to hear these words.

Looking at Wu Zhefeng's bitter expression on his face, he still asked, "Wu Zhefeng, what's the matter?" ”

'Battalion commander! I really can't do it, those people down the mountain are my old troops. And the division commander promised not to force me to make a move. I hope you forgive me! I don't want to shoot my own brother! ’

As soon as he heard this, the Red Army soldier who had scolded him earlier also felt a little stunned. Previously, he thought that Wu Zhefeng was a prisoner recruited by Renhuaicheng. Unexpectedly, this prisoner was personally recruited into the independent division by the division commander.

also knew that the second battalion commander in front of him, Wu Zhefeng, was a talent, and thought about it: "Okay! Then you're out of the fight! If you really don't want to die anymore, wait a minute, you should persuade your comrades. The battle has come to this, and the result is already doomed! ”

Indeed it is!

looked at the Qian army who began to run wildly, and even lay on the ground with his head in his hands. He Zhengdao, who always observed the situation on the battlefield, gritted his teeth after thinking for a while and said: "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet!" Attack on all fronts! ”

The sound of 'tick, tick' sounded, and many Red Army soldiers jumped up from the trenches and shouted: "Comrades, rush!" ”

Light machine guns hit the head, and under the cover of mortars, the Red Army soldiers who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road began to pursue the fleeing Guizhou army. At this moment, He Zhengdao also saw that a team rushed out of the ambush circle.

In fact, if He Zhengdao really wants to annihilate it, he still has a certain certainty. It's just that in that case, the Red Army that forcibly blocked it will only be afraid that it will also suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, he still ordered a gap to be released and let these desperate people leave.

Such an order, albeit somewhat puzzling. But He Zhengdao is clear that this 103rd Division is already crippled. What's more, now that the Red Ninth Army has launched a campaign against Dagu Xinchang, even if they escape, where can they flee?

The rabbit is in a hurry and bites!

Now that there is a gap left, I believe that these Guizhou troops who want to survive will not resist too much. All they wanted was to use their strength to escape from the ambush. But the question is, how long can they hold on to running all the way before, and now they are running again?

As the slogans of 'surrender the gun and not kill' and 'the Red Army give preferential treatment to prisoners' sounded on the battlefield one after another, those Guizhou troops who could not run still obediently raised their guns and knelt on the ground to surrender. And what the Red Army has to do is to chase it all the way!

Looking at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and the corpses on the road, He Zhengdao also felt it. The battle was won, but why didn't he feel a little joy of victory?

If it was a little devil who fell on the road, maybe He Zhengdao would be smiling. But the problem is that those people are of the same race as him. If only this kind of cannibalism could have been avoided!
