Chapter 133: Stalemate
Since the Southern Army decided to drag Han Zhengjun to the death, it naturally had been prepared for Han Zhengjun's attack and was cautious enough.
When Han Zheng's army had just launched a full-scale attack and arrived not far from the opponent's position, the Southern Army had already reacted, and at the same time, Han Zheng's army, which had no longer concealed its strategic intentions, was the first to contact the other party with the second regiment at the forefront!
The enemy's mournful shouts rang out, and then bullets from both sides rained down on the positions on both sides, and the sergeants on both sides at the forefront were the first to be beaten into a sieve by the dense bullets.
Xiang Jie learned the lesson of the last time this time, and the soldiers have also gone through the baptism of several major battles, and both officers and soldiers seem to have matured rapidly during this period of time.
The battle on the front line between the two sides was brutal and bloody, and when the casualties on both sides totaled nearly two or three hundred men at the beginning, the ammunition that was already scarce in the most extravagant battle of the Southern Army finally dragged its feet at this time.
However, at this time, the 2nd Regiment was rarely calmed down, and did not take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, but the whole army advanced more than a dozen steps and then stopped again, and soon a simple position was formed in this place, laying a solid forward position for the advance of the follow-up troops.
After a few battles, these recruits have gone through the baptism of blood and fire, and can no longer see the appearance of the recruits, and various tactical actions are getting smoother and smoother, the soldiers of the second regiment use the temporary front position, lying on the ground and constantly shooting bullets in the gun, like a meteor across the night sky, disappearing on the local position, covering the advance of the rear army.
Soon after, the southern army finally found that all the soldiers of the second regiment, the third regiment, and the first regiment of Han Zheng's army had followed, and this time Han Zheng was desperate, wanting to take advantage of this last opportunity, even if he could not completely annihilate the enemy, he would also defeat the enemy army, so as to force back the attack in the direction of Bengbu, only in this way could he win time for himself!
Although the southern army was already very tired during the day, and the casualties had exceeded five hundred, they were facing the fierce charge of Han Zheng's army, and they were defending their positions with some difficulty, and at this time, it seemed that no matter how timid they were, they had forgotten their fears.
However, at this time, it was attacked by 4,000 soldiers to the front of the position, and it was almost gun-to-gun, and the numerical advantage on Han Zheng's side was finally brought into play!
After the second regiment suffered nearly 100 casualties again in order to cover the follow-up troops, it could be regarded as a reward, and at such a close distance, the trenches arranged by the Southern Army were no longer useful, and the two sides were mixed up in the shooting back and forth.
After Han Zheng's men and horses came up, the remaining four or five hundred soldiers of the Southern Army were finally surrounded by regiments at close range, and when they lost the shelter of the trenches, they were doomed to the fate of these hundreds of people!
Unexpectedly, these remnants of the Southern Army did not have the slightest idea of surrendering, and under the siege of Han Zheng on all sides, they were still desperately counterattacking, and every time they took a step forward, they would shed enough blood.
Han Zheng's face is ugly now, it can be said that his idea has come true, but when the other party is already doomed, he didn't expect that he is still so tenacious, the casualties of the soldiers are getting bigger and bigger, and this small area that is surrounded seems to have become a hedgehog!
In desperation, Han Zheng finally asked the soldiers to temporarily stop advancing, and then transferred the heavy machine guns in the rear, and Han Zheng, who was forced to accept all this, finally took a deep breath, and then let more than a dozen heavy machine guns under his command be placed around the encirclement, and fired mercilessly at the resolutely resisting Southern Army.
Looking at the enemy soldiers wailing under the strafing of machine guns, Han Zheng felt a little pain in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't tolerate some compassion, if he faced such a fate, it is estimated that he would also suffer such a fate, this kind of order that was almost slaughtered was estimated to be enough for Han Zheng to suffer the most serious trial in a military court in later generations, but in this chaotic era, every kindness to others is cruelty to his own people, and the road to power will always be covered with layers of flesh and blood!
The huge battle on the battlefield that began at noon, after several hours of bloody fighting, until it was dark, completely wiped out the last stubborn enemy army, the 1,000 Southern Army, with the wounded and no prisoners!
After the war, the soldiers quietly sorted out the battlefield, separated the bodies of both sides, carried the wounded to the rear for healing, and faced these enemies in the south, but they had to admit that these people were worthy of respect.
"Those people in the south, how many enthusiastic young people have been disappointed!" Han Zheng looked at the corpse of the enemy soldier who was pulled out and sighed
At four o'clock in the morning, the reconnaissance company finally found that a large number of southern troops appeared less than thirty miles away from here, and Han Zheng did not dare to slack off.
Time was urgent, so he directly gathered his soldiers and took the wounded to Yingshang and returned.
When the two regiments of the Southern Army arrived, they only saw corpses and the battlefield with gunsmoke billowing from one place, but Han Zheng's troops had already rushed back to Yingshang overnight.
Seeing that more than 1,000 people were all killed, the two regiments in the south finally stopped attacking, and at the same time, an urgent telegram was sent to the rear of Anqing in the south.
And after this period, Han Zheng's goal was achieved, the southern army saw that one of their elite regiments was annihilated, plus the more than 400 soldiers who died yesterday, they finally felt the seriousness of the matter, carried the bodies of the dead soldiers on their side, and returned to Bengbu again, without further instructions, they had to guard the city in Bengbu, waiting for new instructions.
Han Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid that the other party would delay time, but the more he delayed, the more beneficial it would be for them
In a compound on the south side of Yingshang City, injuries filled the entire space.
The people here are quite friendly to Han Zheng and these people, and since Han Zheng entered the city, he has not disturbed the people in the slightest, but has vigorously maintained local law and order, which makes these people feel at ease.
Finally, it was determined that Han Zheng's troops really cared for the people as legendary, and there were still not many troops like Han Zheng's in the country now, even after the southern army that claimed to be the country and the people broke through the city, it also had to be cleaned.
Thanks to these people, many people took the initiative to help the wounded soldiers, and even local doctors joined in to help treat the wounded, so that there was no major chaos.
After Han Zheng led the army back to Yingshang, all the wounded were sent here, and at the same time, Han Zheng also came to this wounded soldier compound.
The injured people who could still move saw the arrival of their commander, but they hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute, but they were stopped by Han Zheng, looking at these wounded, Han Zheng's eyes were a little moist, they were not as good as them!
There was blood flowing on the ground of the compound, and because there were not enough rooms, many of the wounded were lying directly in the courtyard, and from time to time there were painful moans and wails.
Seeing this situation, Han Zheng directly found Zheng Rong in the logistics department and asked the other party to vacate the military tent as a camp for wounded soldiers, so he placed these people.
Doctors and the newly formed nurse battalion shuttled through the crowd from time to time, bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers and treating the affected areas, and the seriously wounded had begun to move to the rear overnight, after all, Wuyang was the base camp and could receive better treatment.
And at this moment, Han Qiang suddenly came to Han Zheng's side and whispered: "Commander, Miss Li is here." ”
Han Zheng didn't react for a while, and it wasn't until the other party said another sentence that he knew what the other party was talking about, and when he opened his eyes, he was about to get angry, but when he turned his head along with Han Qiang's gaze, he saw a little girl in a white coat constantly comforting the wounded among the wounded, and seriously bandaging the wounded, even in the dark night, Han Zheng could still see the other party's delicate face, the only thing was that the eyes were bloodshot and tired, and the words that were going to scold were also taken back, and looked at Li Ying quietly for a while, Then he turned around and walked out.
And Li Ying, who had just come out of a wounded soldier's camp, had not yet found out that Han Zheng had been here. (To be continued.) )
