Speaking of the Baoshan Regiment, after receiving the order of the Theater Commander's Department, it immediately changed the direction of its march and marched nearly 200 miles north in one night, arriving at Wushan Town on the side of the Hehuai Highway.

Although this march was arduous, there was no need for Yue Weihan to run forward and backwards, jumping up and down.

Under Yue Weihan's meticulous efforts to spare, today's Baoshan regiment is indeed very different, just talk about the march, each officer and soldier has dozens of pounds of weight, but no one has complained of hardship from beginning to end, and the reading brigade adapted from Chaohu water bandits has also been obviously stimulated by several main battalions, and it has gritted its teeth and ran for nearly two hundred miles.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Yue Weihan ordered the troops to leave the main road and take the mountain path instead.

Wushan Town is only sixty or seventy miles away from Hefei, and the straight-line distance from Nanjing is only two hundred miles, and the little devil's plane takes off from Kunshan and other airports, and it can fly here in less than half an hour.

As soon as the order was given, a faint explosion suddenly came from the south.

Immediately, the sound of the explosion became dense, and it was rapidly approaching the direction of the Baoshan regiment, Liu Tiezhu, deputy of the guard company and platoon commander of the communications platoon, listened attentively for a moment, and said: "The 81mm mortar is said to be built at a distance of five kilometers, and the devil's infantry is estimated to be closer, and the distance is at most two kilometers." ”

Yue Weihan immediately said: "Order all battalions to immediately deploy and build a blocking position on the spot!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Tiezhu stood upright, and immediately shouted to the soldiers of the communication platoon behind him, "Immediately notify all battalions, stop advancing, and build a blocking position on the spot!" ”

The two dozen or so fighters of the communications platoon quickly went in groups of three and went separately.

Yue Weihan said to Hua Hanlin, Liu Tiezhu, and Tang Dashan: "Hanlin, Zhuzi, Datang, take the guard platoon and follow me to the front to have a look." ”

Yue Weihan led the guard platoon to penetrate forward for less than 500 meters, and encountered a large group of [***] routs.

From a distance, this group of [***] routs are like bison fighting for the crossing, crowding to grab a small stone bridge, due to the large number of people and the small bridge, many of the rout soldiers were squeezed off the bridge deck by the flow of people, fell into the icy river, and some people were knocked down on the bridge by their companions and then could not get up, and were finally trampled to death.

Yue Weihan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, he hated the soldiers who escaped from the battle the most in his life!

"Pillar, set up the machine gun for Lao Tzu!" Yue Weihan shouted in a sinister voice, "Lao Tzu is going to kill people today, Chinese!" ”

Liu Tiezhu suddenly agreed, and the two Type 92 heavy machine guns were quickly set up in the middle of the road, and then the head of the rout in front of him was a tappling shuttle, and the scorching bullets almost passed the heads of the group of routs, and as soon as the machine gun rang out, the [***] rout on the opposite side fell down.

Yue Weihan tightened the belt of arms on his body and faced the group of rout soldiers with murderous energy.

Tang Dashan hurriedly took two steps forward, most of his body blocked in front of Yue Weihan, and a pair of sharp eyes were even more vigilant sweeping around in the middle of the rout group in front of him, ready to use his body to block bullets for the group seat at any time! Tang Dashan knew very well that anyone in the Baoshan group could do without it, but without Yue Weihan.

"Get out of here!" Yue Weihan couldn't help but kick Tang Dashan to the side, and then strode to the group of defeated soldiers on the opposite side and stood still, and said viciously, "What are you running?" You're still not soldiers, or aren't you gentlemen? Fight back, fight back now! Push the little devil behind the ass back and fuck them......"

"Sir, our division seat and the staff seat are dead, and the brigade seat and the regimental seat are also running."

"Yes, the little devil's artillery fire is too fierce, and the formation of the troops has been disrupted, and this battle can't be fought."

"Fart!" Yue Weihan was furious and said, "What are you holding in your hands? It's a gun, not a burning stick! Get the fuck on the bayonet and push the little devil back with Lao Tzu! ”

After speaking, Yue Weihan pulled out the shell gun, turned around and rushed forward.

Liu Tiezhu held two guns in his hand, and fired two shots at the sky, and then roared angrily: "You group of soldiers, miscellaneous, what the hell are you still doing in a daze, follow us and kill ......."

"It's a man with an egg, and even if he dies, he has to have his butt back and his head forward." Hua Hanlin ripped off the hat on his head, and then picked up the crooked light machine gun in his hand and said, "Brothers, kill!" ......The officers and men of the guard company shouted like a tsunami, and in an instant they roared forward from among the routing soldiers like a flood that had burst its embankment.

The eyes of the group of routs turned red at once, first a small group of people, then a small part, and in the end, all the routs opened their throats and roared hysterically, then pulled out their bayonets and clicked well, turned around and followed the back of the butt of the guard company of the Baoshan regiment, after all, they are also soldiers, and soldiers have the dignity of soldiers.

Along the way, there were constantly scattered routs to join the queue of counterattacks, and in less than a moment, the rout soldiers gathered behind Yue Weihan had exceeded 2,000 people, and there were more rout soldiers who were swarming when they heard the news.

Beyond a low mountain beam, the figure of the infantry of the Yue Army appeared on the opposite side.

In the thin morning light, at least two squadrons of more than 300 devil infantry have been fully deployed, and are pursuing along the river valley all over the mountains, behind the two devil squadrons, there are more devil soldiers swarming, and the devil artillery that fell behind is still extending the artillery fire to the front.

Seeing that the [***] rout army came back again, the opposite army was not chaotic at all.

As soon as the devil commander gave the order, all the devil soldiers immediately withdrew the bullets in the chamber of the gun, and then greeted them with a roar with a bayonet, and the two armies quickly met each other in short combat!

On the opposite side was the 13th Infantry Brigade of the 116th Wing of the 3rd Division.

At six o'clock in the morning, the 116th Wing's Tian Tian Dazuo had just received an order from the division headquarters to prepare to pull out the flank of the Baoshan Regiment in a roundabout way in the direction of Lu'an.

Tianda Dazuo did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the situation to the division headquarters.

Lieutenant General Ogisu, commander of the 13th Division, quickly replied that the combat mission of the Tiantian Wing remained unchanged, but that an infantry brigade could be considered to attack north in order to defeat the enemy in front of him, and that the 3rd Infantry Brigade under the 116th Wing immediately ordered the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 116th Wing to attack northward, while the main force still detoured to the west to Lu'an.

Coming from the north was the 51st Division of Yu Xuezhong's 114th Army.

At the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou, Chairman Chiang transferred all the troops in Anhui Province to the north, leaving only the 114th Division to garrison Bengbu, and Hefei left only one battalion of the 114th Division to guard, and after the main force of the 13th Division of the Army arrived in Hefei, this battalion was completely annihilated, and the main force of the 114th Division, which was ordered to go south to prepare to defend Hefei again, did not know that Hefei had been lost.

The 114th Division had two brigades and four regiments, but in fact there were only two regiments of more than 6,000 people.

As a result, the 114th Division was ambushed by the Yue Army without any ideological preparation, and the first round of artillery bombardment by the Yue Army severely damaged the 114th Division, the division commander Mou Zhongxiong and the chief of staff were killed on the spot, and the two regiment commanders of the 673rd Regiment and the 674th Regiment immediately abandoned their troops and fled for their lives, and the more than 6,000 people of the division collapsed immediately.

Of course, Yue Weihan did not know these causes and consequences, but he knew that if they could not prevent the defeat and escape of the rout in time, they would also rush the blocking position of the Baoshan Regiment into chaos, let alone block or counterattack the Yue army at that time, I was afraid that even the Baoshan Regiment would be carried by these rout troops and flee to the Huai River defense line.

Therefore, Yue Weihan immediately led the guard company to counterattack.

After all, the blood surnames of those routs were not completely wiped out, and when they saw someone fighting back, they were immediately re-aroused the dignity of the soldiers, and some people took the lead and some people followed suit, and the counterattack of the guard company of the Baoshan Regiment soon caused a chain reaction on the entire battlefield, and in the end, almost all the routs were killed.

A fierce white-knuckle battle broke out in the river valley on the side of the Hehuai Highway.

The first to break into the main formation of the Yue army was of course the guard company led by Yue Weihan himself, this guard company is all composed of veterans who survived the Battle of Jiangpu and the Battle of Nanjing, these veterans are far from being comparable to ordinary [***] in terms of fighting will, physical condition and stabbing skills.

The veterans of the Baoshan Regiment can not even fight bayonets with the old devils of the Kunisaki detachment, and the 13th Division on the opposite side is just an ad hoc division, so how can it be an opponent? As soon as the two came into contact, the army was defeated and retreated, and the rout of the 114th Division swarmed from both flanks, and the two infantry squadrons of the army in front of the breakthrough were dumplings at once.

The follow-up army saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly retreated.

Yue Weihan did not know the details of the opposite army, worried that continuing the pursuit was likely to encounter a large army of the army, and immediately ordered to stop the pursuit, after all, it was not far from Hefei, and the 13th and 18th divisions of the army were near Hefei, in case the number of the Baoshan regiment was exposed, then Ma Zhankui's arrangements would all fall through.

………… Huainan, headquarters of the 3rd Army.

Yu Xuezhong, commander of the 3rd Group Army and the 51st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was furious, because the two commanders of the 673rd and 674th regiments of the 114th Division had fled back to the headquarters with their respective guards.

"In front of the two armies, they actually left their troops and fled for their lives alone, what's the use of leaving you behind?" Yu Xuezhong turned his head and shouted at the guards, "Guards, drag these two dog things out and kill them!" ”

"Throne!"

"Commander!"

The two regiment commanders knelt down and kowtowed: "Spare your life, for the sake of us who have followed you for many years, spare us this time?" "Commander, we have followed you for many years and fought countless battles, when have you ever been afraid of death? But this time, the little devil's artillery fire was so fierce that the troops collapsed in one fell swoop......"

"Shut up, you still have the face to say?" Yu Xuezhong shouted fiercely, "Drag it out, it's dead!" ”

The four guards pounced like wolves, set up the two regiment commanders and left, and immediately two gunshots rang out outside the headquarters, and the two fleeing regiment commanders of the Northeast Army had already gone to meet their Zhang Laoshuai under Jiuquan.
