Chapter 301: Escape
Wei Lihuang hated, even if he was running fast in the car now, he really hated that he didn't have two more legs, run, what is the defeat like a mountain? That's it!
He was just about to make the last attack, but suddenly he was bombarded by a large number of heavy artillery, and hundreds of small cannons were shelling. Then several thousand people were killed from the mountains.
Thousands of people are all fighting machine guns, and the firepower is so strong that they can't be ignored. The third division was about to collapse at the first touch, and the second division was also crushed by the defeated troops when it desperately intercepted. The enemy pursued at the end of the street, and the 1st Division began to set up blocking positions, and after the commander of the 2nd Division was newly cut off with his own troops, his life and death are now unknown.
He must first run out of the enemy's pursuit range before he can regroup his troops and horses to fight, where did Cai Tingkai find reinforcements? Not to mention the marksmanship, he also carried hundreds of mortars with him.
What's even more excessive is that the cannon that shattered a radius of 100 meters with one shot, what kind of cannon is it? A 150-millimeter heavy cannon isn't that powerful?
This time the whole army was suddenly attacked by the enemy, because the first rout of the third division led to the rout of the whole army, which was beyond the power of others, and soon the successive defeats were collected by Wei Lihuang tens of thousands of people.
When the commander of the first division in charge of the rear of the hall fled back with gauze wrapped around his head and bandages on his arms, Wei Lihuang finally figured out what was going on.
"What? Say that the reinforcements of your 19th Route Army came from the sea? How is it possible, aren't there our patrol boats on the sea? Are they all dead? Wei Lihuang was surprised.
The patrol boats on the sea were not dead, but several patrol boats were hiding far away from the sea, watching Commander Cai and a group of soldiers who had returned from chasing the 14th Army board the two giant freighters moored on the seaside.
It stands to reason that the freighter has no weapons, and these dozen or so patrol boats are more than capable of shelling the giant freighter to make them stop. But they didn't even dare to say anything, because next to each 10,000-ton freighter, there were two British warships of several thousand tons protecting the two huge ships.
Battalion Commander Liu and the eighty-nine brothers survived because these two huge ships came to meet Commander Cai, not only that, because the person who came was an old friend of Commander Cai and Commander Jiang, so after getting the help of the old friend.
Commander Cai demanded that he immediately bring some soldiers back to save his magical battalion, which was already a day and a night, and no one dared to believe that this battalion could withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people and still have brothers who survived for a day and a night.
However, Commander Cai insisted on seeing the dead alive and dead, so his old friend had no choice but to send a special combat team to the position of the Magical First Battalion to check, and the special combat team quickly sent a telegram back.
It is said that Wei Lihuang's Fourteenth Army still has not broken through the defense line of the Magical First Battalion, but they have also lost more than half of their men, and I am afraid they will not be able to support it for long.
Hearing the report of the special combat team, Commander Cai immediately asked his old friend to bring troops to the rescue, and his old friend also wanted to see this magical battalion, so he took 2,000 special combat soldiers and resisted hundreds of mortars to prepare for a sneak attack on the garrison of the 14th Army.
Then, just after the 14th Army had finished lunch and was preparing to shell the magical 1st battalion for the final general attack, more than a dozen huge cannons from the warships bombarded the forward positions of the 14th Army directly, and the artillery positions of the entire 14th Army were razed to the ground with just one shot.
Then more than a dozen shells from huge artillery fell into the garrison of the 14th Army, directly blowing up the 3rd Division that was being assembled, and before the people of the 3rd Division could figure out what was going on.
Hundreds of mortar shells began to fall into the garrison of the 3rd Division. Although there were more than 10,000 people in the Third Division at this time, most of them were new recruits, not to mention that they had never seen the bombardment of hundreds of mortars, let alone been attacked by naval guns.
After only three rounds of attacks, the soldiers of the 3rd Division collapsed, and they fled towards the station of the headquarters of the 14th Army, the location of the 2nd Division. Then Commander Cai, who was well versed in the art of war, led more than 1,000 of his subordinates, and at the same time united with 2,000 special combat members of his old friends to chase and kill together.
When the soldiers of the 3rd Division were stopped by the 2nd Division at the garrison of the 14th Army, the defeated soldiers mixed with the men of the 2nd Division, and a fierce clash ensued.
Before the soldiers of the Second Division could organize a defense, Commander Cai had already killed 3,000 men and horses, and hundreds of mortars were bombarded indiscriminately, blasting into crowded places.
In this way, the 2nd Division, which had no artillery, collapsed even if the 3rd Division rushed like this. Where can we stop the army of three thousand tigers and wolves of Commander Cai.
Fortunately, the people of the second division still have a conscience, and the commander of the second division ordered his own soldiers to protect Wei Lihuang and take him away, and he personally led a regiment of people to break off.
It's a pity that Commander Cai's people are too experienced, and after less than ten minutes, they were attacked by the special combat team outflanked from the side, and as a result, a regiment, including the commander of the second division, was bombarded indiscriminately, and the regiment was completely annihilated.
Commander Cai didn't even ask for a prisoner, he directly crossed the body of the second division commander and killed the first division of the rear army of the 14th Army.
As soon as the cannon sounded, the commander of the first division ordered the whole division to be on alert, and when the defeated soldiers of the third division ran to his station, he did not stop the people of the third division, but made way of a passage and let the people of the third division pass quickly.
It wasn't until they saw Wei Lihuang's military vehicles passing through their positions that they knew that Commander Cai had brought a large number of reinforcements, and his reinforcements still had thousands of cannons, so the second and third divisions were defeated, and the commander of the second division blocked the enemy in the back.
The commander of the 1st Division immediately ordered to organize a defense on the spot, and at the same time all the troops retreated in turn for twenty miles, building fortifications twenty miles away. He personally led half a division of nearly 5,000 men to block the enemy.
Fortunately, there was a division commander who was in danger, and the rout of the 14th Army finally showed signs of relief. When Commander Cai killed in front of him, he was also taken aback, there were only 3,000 men and horses, and he did bring 500 mortars, how did these people bring them?
Before he could figure it out, Commander Cai's five hundred mortars had quickly set up their positions, and then under the surprised gaze of the commander of the first division, they were assembled at the speed of God, and they didn't even hit the check bullets, and directly launched an artillery attack on the defensive positions of the first division.
Fortunately, although there are many mortars here, the attack power is not strong, and I heard that they still have giant artillery support, but because the two sides are entangled at this time, the commander of the first division was not attacked by the giant artillery.
But that's it, he soon couldn't withstand Commander Cai's attack, Commander Cai's troops didn't say anything about their marksmanship, his soldiers didn't shout slogans when they charged, they just kept their waists down, lowered their heads and attacked in a muffled voice, sometimes, even if they were shot and fell to the ground, they couldn't see these people moaning, what kind of troops is this? I have been fighting in China for more than ten years, and I have never encountered such a calm army. Where are the screaming people of the Nineteenth Route Army?
If the 19th Route Army is the kind of vicious dog that bites and barks fiercely at first glance, then the troops in front of you are the ruthless wolves who specialize in sneak attacks.
The commander of the first division organized his subordinates to defend alternately, and at the same time retreated twenty miles away. Fortunately, he only retreated two kilometers, and Commander Cai's troops stopped pursuing.
As soon as the commander of the first division saw that there was a door, he immediately organized people to prepare for a counterattack, but before the troops could bite the tail of the 19th Route Army, they happened to run into the special combat personnel who had previously checked the magical first battalion.
After they were in charge of cutting off the Cai army here, they saw hundreds of people emerging from the hills on both sides of the road, their machine gun fire was fierce, and dozens of mortars were attacking.
It was at this time that the commander of the first division was hit by a shell, so he suffered a lot of injuries, but fortunately, the skin injuries did not hurt the muscles and bones, but it also made the first division commander have no courage and immediately led the troops to retreat.
Only then did he report the current situation to Wei Lihuang with a tragic injury.
And Wei Lihuang sat on the ground weakly after hearing the detailed report of the first division commander, he knew that Commander Cai must not be able to chase anymore, and this time he was a dragon into the sea. If we meet again in the future, maybe someone will hunt him down.
Wei Lihuang put away the defeated troops well, just in this battle, he lost more than 3,000 men and horses, and the missing deserters got several thousand, he calculated carefully, since the pursuit of the 19th Route Army yesterday morning, in just one and a half days, his more than 30,000 people of the 14th Army have lost one-third of their casualties. There are still 20,000 people and horses, and they all make people break their courage.
There was no choice but to send scouts to the beach to explore the way and see in which direction the 19th Route Army was running. When he returned to Quanzhou, he must send a telegram to Commander Chiang, informing them of the incompetence of the navy and the fact that the blockade at sea was not successful at all.
However, when he received a report from the scouts that there was no enemy on the beach, Wei Lihuang was shocked and slowly came to the beach with the remnants of the defeated army.
He was also strange when he saw that more than a hundred sailors in naval uniforms were hugging each other to keep warm on the beach at this time, and he walked up to a naval major: "Why are you here, your patrol boat?" ”
"Let the people of the Nineteenth Route Army snatch it away, and we were driven off the ship by them?" The major didn't know Wei Lihuang, especially when he saw Wei Lihuang's face full of ashes and the miserable image of his body in tatters, he didn't want to pay attention to him.
But when he saw that there were so many generals and officers with gauze wrapped in gauze and bandages on their arms and legs behind Wei Lihuang, he still replied cautiously.
But Wei Lihuang became angry when he heard his explanation: "What? You're the navy, you're too wasteful, how can you let the army take prisoners? ”
When this major heard Wei Lihuang scolding, he was also anxious, they were all defeated troops, why should I let you scold? So he immediately retorted:
"Who are you scolding for being a piece of shit? Your 14th Army is a waste, tens of thousands of people let thousands of people beat the fart, you are still reasonable.
Our patrol boats were stolen by the Army, but they were captured by other warships, have you ever seen an Army with two huge transport ships and four British cruisers of several thousand tons or more?
If we hadn't seen the opportunity early, as soon as they fired a warning shot, we would have surrendered on our own initiative, and we would have lost not only the patrol boats but also the naval elites that we, the party-state had worked so hard to cultivate, would have lost in vain.
Do you know how hard it is to train us Navy sailors? Do you think we are your worthless soldiers, just grab a strong man and use a gun as cannon fodder on the battlefield. We are all elite soldiers who have been trained for more than two years before we can go to sea to patrol. ”
Wei Lihuang listened to the curse of the major in front of him, and before he could get angry, he was thinking about the ins and outs of the matter repeatedly, and after thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out: "Ah! I said, where did they get the cannon? Dare us to let the guns of the cruisers bombard. ”
Then he came back to his senses, and the major in front of him had just scolded him for squirting blood. He shouted: "You uneducated sailors, don't you know that you want to salute your boss when you see it?"
How dare you scold me? I now convict you of contempt of your superiors, and each of you will be severely beaten with ten sticks, and you will be executed immediately. Now there are no military sticks, so they are replaced by fists and feet.
The soldiers of the 14th Army beat these unreasonable sailors so hard that their mothers couldn't recognize them. ”
The soldiers of the 14th Army, who had already been suffocated by the defeat of the soldiers, and let these sailors scold a bloody spurt, rushed up, crackling with fists and kicks, knocking all the sailors of more than 100 people to the ground.
Wei Lihuang saw that the major who scolded him fell in front of him, regardless of his injuries, and with bandages under his arms, he also stepped forward and kicked a few times. After kicking, his mood was much more relaxed.
At this time, the soldiers of the Magical First Battalion, who had already boarded the ship, were outside the operating room of the giant ship, watching several foreign doctors in front of them performing first aid to their three company commanders.
Wang Dong, the commander of the first company, looked at the blood flowing from Wang Chengjun, the commander of the third company, and asked the battalion commander beside him: "Battalion commander, those foreigners will not secretly kill our Wang Laosan." ”
Battalion Commander Liu gave him a blank look: "Go, stay and go." Didn't you see that people were giving blood transfusions to Chengjun? If you want to kill him, you just don't need a blood transfusion, you have a problem with your eyes, and you also have a problem with your IQ? ”
The commander of the first company let the battalion commander scold, looked helplessly elsewhere, and suddenly found that Commander Cai was leading a familiar person to the corridor outside the operating room.
The first company commander hurriedly stabbed the battalion commander and told him in a low voice: "Battalion commander, the army commander is here with our life-saving benefactor." ”
When Battalion Commander Liu heard this, he immediately led all the soldiers to line up in several rows outside the operating room, waiting for the army commander to come to review, only to see the army commander walking here while talking to his life-saving benefactor.
When he walked to Battalion Commander Liu's side, Commander Cai formally introduced to the life-saving benefactor in front of him: "This is the battalion commander Liu Aiguo of the Magical First Battalion, their battalion is the battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness in our army, and the famous Magical Company of Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War last year was their predecessor, and Liu Aiguo was the company commander of the Magical Company at that time. ”
I saw that the life-saving benefactor kindly stepped forward and shook the hands of battalion commander Liu Aiguo and praised: "Good job, your whole battalion is good." I think I've seen countless heroes all over the country, but in terms of the army's will to fight, your battalion is the strongest I've ever seen. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, sir, I deserve it, but I dare to ask you, I look at you familiarly, but I can't remember where I have seen you, may I ask which unit you are the leader of, the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Northwest Army, or the Northeast Army?" Battalion Commander Liu asked about his life-saving benefactor.
"Hahaha, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm your old friend, Wang Yaqiao, the gang leader of the Axe Gang."
