Chapter 092: Battle of Qingyang VIII

As soon as the battle began, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army showed unimaginably powerful firepower, not only with great firepower, but also very reasonably distributed, and each combat group not only fulfilled its role well, but also cooperated with each combat group and squad and platoon company very skillfully, making the entire battlefield completely connected.

Comparatively speaking, the performance of the Second Brigade of the Central Army was much worse, and many people could only rush and fight like headless flies, and there was only one tactic - group charge.

If there is no backbone tissue around you to maintain, you can't even charge the group, either you lie on the ground and dare not move, or you rush forward with a stream of blood, and then you are knocked to the ground by bullets flying everywhere, and the worst one is to drop the gun and turn around and run away, either killed by the machine guns of the Red Army, or fall under the guns of your own warlords.

After more than 10 days of baptism of war, the Kuantaigoumen area was already full of devastation, and at this time, it was washed by the 107 rocket artillery of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army for two consecutive days, and there were potholes everywhere, and the defensive positions built before were also unrecognizable.

Guarding such a position, Huang Jie has no sense of security at all, the Red Army is now equipped with machine guns and artillery, and the combat effectiveness it has exerted is really extraordinary, and the battle has not lasted long, so he does not have much mind to fight again.

Although I don't want to admit it, the Red Army at this time is indeed much stronger than their Central Army, such a one-sided battle, there is no way to change anyone, now we have to find a way to withdraw quickly, and if we stay, I am afraid that even their second brigade will fall here.

With a decision in his heart, Huang Jie immediately ordered a retreat, but he did not notify Peng Jinzhi, who was his right wing, which made Peng Jinzhi suffer a lot.

Due to the narrow terrain on the line from Wentai to Rouyuan, it was impossible to fully deploy the strength of the two brigades, so the two men split into two routes before the attack began, Huang Jie's second brigade took the front, and Peng Jinzhi's independent brigade took its right flank to flank the Red army near Sunjiachuan.

It's just that the two didn't expect that the Red Army was no longer passively defensive this time, but chose to attack in an all-out way, Huang Jie's second brigade collided with Liu Zhidan's second division head-on, and the pressure was great for a while, and they fled if they didn't feel good.

The Red Army in the direction of Peng Jinzhi did not have many fronts, and he could hold on for a while, but he didn't expect Huang Jie to leave him alone and run away, and when he reacted, his rear had been intercepted by the 109th Regiment of the Third Division, which had bypassed.

Hearing that the Red Army appeared behind him, Peng Jinzhi didn't believe it at first, and then heard that Huang Jie had abandoned their independent brigade and ran away, so he was so angry that he kicked the ground under his feet, roaring and roaring: "Okay, you Huang Jie, the second brigade ran away and didn't notify Lao Tzu, this wants Lao Tzu to be a substitute for him." ”

"Brigade, the second brigade has been withdrawn, what should we do next?"

"What to do? Cold! Peng Jinzhi first scolded angrily, and then said, "This battle can't be fought, the main forces of the people have withdrawn, what else can we do if we continue to stay, let's withdraw it." ”

"But our back road is blocked by the red bandits."

"If it's blocked, you won't reopen it, huh? Do you know what you do with that guy? Furious in his heart, Peng Jinzhi continued to scold, "Tell my brothers, if you want to live, you will rush forward with your life, and break through the encirclement of the red bandits at all costs." ”

Peng Jinzhi had just finished scolding, and a communications soldier ran over in a panic and reported: "Report to the brigade, ...... The Red Bandit Army began a general offensive. ”

As soon as the last word of the signal soldier was finished, the characteristic whistling sound of the 107 rocket launcher suddenly came, followed by a series of explosions, each of which shook the vicinity of the explosion point, like an earthquake, and the swept air wave would be lifted away if it was a little closer.

Listening to this deafening explosion, Peng Jinzhi's face was full of displeasure, although he had long heard that the Red Army had received Soviet aid, but this kind of artillery fire was too damn ~ too much, such a battle could not be fought at all, and when the shelling was over, the troops on his side were afraid that they would all disperse.

Sure enough, after the end of the shelling, the Red Army on both sides pressed up, and the soldiers of the Independent Brigade had long lost the will to fight, and most of them dropped their rifles and prepared to be prisoners.

After the troops were dispersed, Peng Jinzhi could only lead his guard company to break through to the south, and he could no longer control other subordinates. It's just that his luck is not too good, and he didn't have long to break through and collide with a small group of Red Army, even if most of his guard company is equipped with shell guns, commonly known as pistol teams, but it is not as good as the Red Army's firepower configuration.

The barge gun, known as the box gun, was not very popular with European armies after its invention, but it was carried forward in China. The main reason for this is that the Chinese army lacks sufficient machine guns and submachine guns, and the high rate of fire and high ammunition capacity of the shell gun make up for this shortcoming, so it is loved by the Chinese army.

When Li Keji first prepared weapons for the Red Army, many people did not like the Type 54 pistol too much, but preferred the shell gun, and they were reluctant to give up the shell gun in their hands after the reload, until the ammunition ran out and had to be stored as a collection.

With Li Keji's ability, he is naturally able to provide enough shell guns and ammunition, but he is paranoid and does not prepare for the Red Army, mainly because he doesn't like the shape of the shell gun too much, and that thing is too big and bulky, not too suitable for the battlefield, it was a helpless choice before, and now he can use a better one, why bother with the past.

Relatively speaking, whether it is a pistol or a submachine gun, the barge gun is not as good as a more professional firearm, and the range is still a shortcoming, so it is naturally excluded by Li Keji.

Due to the large-scale application of shell guns in China, the so-called pistol brigade pistol teams are generally the main force of each unit, but when comparing with the Red Army's firepower configuration of two 56 charges, one 56 light machine gun, one grenade launcher, and eight 56 semi-automatic rifles in one squad, the pistol team can be suppressed to death in terms of range alone.

Therefore, after Peng Jinzhi's guard company met the Red Army, the battle did not last long before it collapsed, and then the Red Army had reinforcements arrive, and soon ate their guard company, and Peng Jinzhi also became a prisoner of the 109th Regiment of the Red Army.

The Fifth Division of the Red Army was originally the main attack on this road, but he didn't expect that the 109th Regiment of the Third Division would pick up a big bargain in the end, and the people of the 113th Regiment couldn't help but be a little depressed, but the commander of the 109th Regiment accepted this result with a smile.

By the time the Independent Brigade was eaten, Huang Jie's Second Brigade had already fled to Yuele Town, and the formation of the 37th Army behind them was scattered on the way.

Seeing Huang Jie fleeing in the wilderness, Mao Bingwen was not a good stubble, so he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the front team changed to the rear team and retreated to the Wentai area.

It's just that he didn't retreat resolutely enough, and he was caught up by Yang Jingtang's 107th Regiment in the Wentai area, and it was not so easy to run after being bitten.

At this time, the Red Army's rocket artillery battalion did not keep up with the pace of the troops' advance for the time being, and although the 37th Army did not have to face the terrifying rocket artillery to wash the ground, the situation still did not improve much in the face of the Red Army's large number of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns.

If it weren't for the large number of troops of the 37th Army, it would not be easy to get away with one or two regiments entangled in the 107th Regiment.

By the time the 37th Army retreated to Yuele Town, the 2nd Brigade that was the first to reach Yuele Town had already fought here for a long time with the 114th and 115th Regiments of the 5th Division of the Red Army that had arrived from the Dinghan and Wujiao areas.

When the 37th Army arrived, the 2nd Brigade was already dying, and even the commander of the 2nd Brigade, Huang Jie, was seriously wounded.

Abandoned behind as a shield, Mao Bingwen originally didn't want to save Huang Jie, but now there are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and his 37th Army alone is afraid that it will not be able to break through the blockade of the Red Army, so he has no choice but to cooperate.

After the two armies met, the battle situation in Yuele Town improved slightly, but the good times did not last long, and the pursuers in the direction of Wentai had already arrived, not Yang Jingtang's 107th regiment, but the 108th regiment of the third division of the Red Army.

When the 108th Regiment arrived, the 37th Army and the 2nd Brigade were in critical condition and were about to collapse, Li Yutang's 2nd Division finally arrived and dragged its tired body into the battle as soon as possible.

After temporarily repelling the Red Army, Li Yutang questioned Mao Bingwen and Huang Jie and said: "What the hell is the situation now~, didn't the order of the military seat let you counterattack the Red Bandit Army?" How did it happen that you were driven back like a lost dog by the Red Bandits? ”

"Division Commander Li, don't you know, the current Red Army is like a madman, and its weapons and equipment are much better than ours, the battle just started, the Second Brigade collapsed, our 37th Army also lost two regiments of troops, and the Independent Brigade didn't even have a chance to escape, and now I'm afraid it has been completely wiped out." Although Mao Bingwen disdained Huang Jie to run away first, now the two of them are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and they can cover a little.

Huang Jie was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet, and he was still lying on a stretcher at this time, and he didn't care about Li Yutang's questioning, but said coldly: "Senior Commander Li, don't stand and talk without back pain, now the artillery of the Red Army has not been transported, and when you have undergone the same treatment as us, you will know what is going on." ”

"Hmph, the first brigade is finished, the second brigade is also a waste, in my opinion, you are all used to living comfortably in the rear, and you have forgotten how to fight." Seeing Huang Jie's attitude, Li Yutang couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Then I will congratulate Master Li on his victory, and if he is injured, he will not be here to accompany you." After speaking, Huang Jie ordered someone to carry him away.
