Chapter 091: Battle of Qingyang VII
Thanks to the "legendary little people" for the tip.
――――――――――――――――
The destruction of the First Brigade in the world was the first time that the Datong Party openly publicized the achievements of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to the outside world, and used the high-power radio provided by Li Keji to convey the news of the destruction of the First Brigade to all parts of the country.
After receiving the telegram from the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Chang Kaishen began to scold the country again in the rest house, and Niang Xipi's voice could be heard even outside the rest house, which made the people tremble and dare not say a word.
After scolding, Chang Kaishen, who calmed down, still didn't believe that his first brigade in the world was over like this, and the unilateral telegram of the Red Army might just be a bluff, and the news from Hu Zongnan had not yet arrived.
With a glimmer of hope, Chang Kaishen immediately ordered the telegraph room to contact the First Army and asked Hu Zongnan to explain to him what was going on.
Before receiving Chang Kaishen's telegram, Hu Zongnan also received a nationwide telegram from the Red Army, but he was shocked but couldn't believe it. How much time has passed since receiving the siege of the First Brigade, less than half a day, his own reinforcements are still on the way, the First Brigade is gone, and he can't believe what he says.
In order to verify the situation, Hu Zongnan sent a telegram urging the Second Brigade and the Independent Brigade, asking them to speed up their pace and rush to the Kuantaigoumen area. The Second Brigade and the Independent Brigade naturally knew what the military seat meant, because they also received the news of the destruction of the First Brigade, but neither of them wanted to admit it.
After getting the telegram from the principal questioning, Hu Zongnan felt sad in his heart, and didn't know how to reply to the principal, so he hesitated for a long time or decided to reply honestly, only saying that the first brigade did receive a siege after dawn, but the specific situation was not clear, and the reinforcements were already on the way to rescue.
Seeing Hu Zongnan's reply to the telegram, Chang Kaishen's face was much better, but he was still very worried, the first brigade was besieged, and it was very likely that the Red Army was preparing to fight a political battle, so the Red Army must be fully prepared, and the rescue may not be in time.
Remembering that the Red Army had received assistance from overseas organizations, and I didn't know how far it would be armed, the 1st Brigade of German armament did not know if it could withstand it.
Worried in his heart, Chang Kaishen asked Dai Li, who was beside him, and said, "Yunong, how is the investigation of the overseas organization?" Is there any progress that has not been made? In your opinion, will the 1st Brigade be able to stop the Red Bandits after the redress? ”
When Chang Kaishen was angry, no one dared to speak, but when he was asked by the principal himself, Dai Li also had to stand up and say: "Back to the principal, overseas organizations are too deeply hidden, and there is almost no information about them in China, and there is not much progress now, it is the incompetence of the students." As for whether the 1st Brigade could stop the Red Bandits, the students did not know much about military affairs and did not dare to make assertions. ”
"If you don't understand military affairs, intelligence should always be your forte, right? Didn't you have an intelligence officer who escaped back, and you should know some about the internal situation of the Red Army, and you should always know what the weapons and equipment are, right? Chang Kaishen continued to ask.
"Back to the principal, the person who got it back was only their group leader, who had been in charge of peripheral contacts and had never personally contacted the Red Army. However, according to the information collected by his subordinates, the Red Army should now use new equipment, and it may be a little stronger than us in terms of firepower. Dai replied cautiously.
"A little stronger? I'm afraid it's more than that, right? Chang Kaishen snorted coldly, his tactical level is not high, and he believes in weapon-only theory the most, thinking that as long as he has a good weapon, he can win the battle. The equipment of the First Brigade is already the best in the Central Army, and if the equipment of all units of the Red Army is better than that of the First Brigade, then how can this battle be fought.
Thinking of this, Chang Kaishen couldn't help but be even more worried about the situation of the First Brigade, and sent another telegram urging Hu Zongnan to speed up the pace of rescue, no matter what, the First Brigade could not afford to lose.
Under pressure from the principal, Hu Zongnan passed on this pressure to the Second Brigade and the Independent Brigade that went to the rescue, asking them to speed up again.
Successively received urging telegrams from the military seat, but Huang Jie and Peng Jinzhi couldn't say it, in order to rescue the first brigade, they were desperately hurrying constantly, and now they want how to speed up.
Helpless and helpless, for the boss's order, whether the two of them can carry it out or not, they can't be bitter and tired at this time. If the First Brigade really fell, a charge of poor rescue would fall on them, and the two didn't want to see that outcome.
Although the troops were too tired, Huang Jie and Peng Jinzhi still urged to speed up, and finally rushed to the Wentai area before dark and met Mao Bingwen, the commander of the 37th Army stationed there.
After seeing Mao Bingwen, the two didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Commander Mao, where is the first brigade?" What is the situation with the 1st Brigade? ”
"First Brigade?" Hearing the two of them ask about the First Brigade, Mao Bingwen couldn't help but wonder, didn't the Red Army have already sent a nationwide telegram, didn't the two of them receive it, so he shook his head and sighed, "Brigade Commander Huang, Brigade Commander Peng, the First Brigade was wiped out as early as noon, and even if our 37th Army tried its best to rescue it, it couldn't be rescued." ”
"What?"
After being confirmed by Mao Bingwen, Huang Jie and Peng Jinzhi couldn't believe it, and Huang Jie roared angrily: "Commander Mao, something so big, why didn't you notify us by telegram?" ”
"Telegram?" Speaking of this, Mao Bingwen was very depressed, and he didn't know what was going on, his telegram couldn't be contacted outside, "At the beginning of the battle, the telegram of our department couldn't be contacted outside, do you think I don't want to ask for rescuers?" ”
After a few noisy words, Huang Jie didn't have much heart to argue with Mao Bingwen about who was right and who was wrong, the important question was what to do now, and this issue had to be handed over to Hu Zongnan, the military seat, to decide.
After anxiously waiting for a day, Hu Zongnan did not expect that the final result would be the last thing he wanted to see, and after reading the telegram, he slumped in his chair, and asked the chief of staff, Hu Shouqian, to forward the telegram to the principal.
Holding the telegram from the front, Hu Shouqian's hands couldn't help but tremble, he didn't dare to imagine what the principal would be like when he learned the news, but he still had to forward it to the principal.
After instructing the telegraph room to forward, Hu Shouqian turned to Hu Zongnan and asked, "Junza, what should we do next?" ”
"What should I do?" Hu Zongnan first muttered to himself, then suddenly stood up from the chair, clenched his fists and smashed on the conference table and shouted, "Fight!" Hit me hard! If the Red Army dares to eat my First Brigade, I will demand that they pay it with ten times the blood. Tell Huang Jie and Peng Jinzhi to bite the main force of the Red Army for me at all costs, and inform Li Yutang, the commander of the Second Division, to transfer all the forces of the Second Division to the front line for me, and vow not to give up without revenge. ”
Looking at Hu Zongnan's gritted teeth, although Hu Shouqian felt that this was a bit too reckless, if he let it go, how could the First Army be mixed in the system of the Central Army in the future, and how could he, Hu Shouqian and Hu Zongnan, gain the trust of the principal.
No matter who is responsible for the destruction of the First Brigade, Hu Zongnan, as the commander of the First Army, cannot escape the blame, and if he wants to wash away the shame on his body, the only way to do so is to show more brilliant achievements and strengthen the offensive.
After deciding to take revenge, the units of the First Army entrenched in Qingcheng began to move, although the destruction of the First Brigade shocked everyone, but the First Army had a large number of troops, and it was not impossible to turn defeat into victory.
That night, Li Yutang's second division drove out of Qingcheng and attacked the Red Army entrenched in Huachi County, accompanied by the cavalry regiment belonging to the first division, and only Hu Zongnan's military headquarters and the northwest supplementary brigade of the first division were left in Qingcheng.
When Li Yutang set out, the First Brigade and the Independent Brigade in the Wentai area did not immediately launch an attack according to Hu Zongnan's request, they hurried for a day's journey, and by this time they were all exhausted and could not organize any effective attack, so they prepared to rest for the night and attack again the next day.
In the early morning of the next day, after recovering their strength, Huang Jie and Peng Jinzhi did not dare to delay any longer, and ordered all the men and horses to rush to Rouyuan City on the back.
At this time, in the headquarters of the former enemy of the Red Army, General Zhu Wei had already determined that the column of the Central Military Commission and the First Division had arrived at the designated place, and he was also urgently arranging the route of the all-out attack, drawing up the battle plan, and immediately issuing the combat tasks of each unit.
After receiving the order for the general attack of the former enemy headquarters, all the units of the Red Army were overjoyed, and they had been fighting defensive battles all this time, and the feeling of being strong and not allowing them to make them suffocate to death had long since made them suffocate to death, and they were able to attack with all their strength at this time, and they were happy for a while.
Near Kuantaigou Gate, Huang Jie's Second Brigade had just arrived, and before he had time to feel how devastated the battlefield had just experienced the war, he encountered the 113th Regiment of the Fifth Division of the Red Army.
Suddenly hearing the sound of the 107 rocket launcher tearing the air, Huang Jie only had time to shout "lie down", and was thrown to the ground by several guards around him. After falling to the ground, only the continuous explosion sound of "bumper bump" was heard, which shook both ears to a buzzing sound.
When the explosion passed, Huang Jie found that many soldiers had fallen in the Second Brigade, and those who were lucky enough to survive were slowly getting up from the mounds of dirt and people.
How many years have passed, trying the feeling of being bombed again, Huang Jie's scalp is still numb, this feeling is really ~ uncomfortable. If the 1st Brigade was also shelled like this, it would be no wonder that Li Tiejun would be here to make a mistake, so that there would be no way to fight at all.
It didn't take long to sigh, and when he heard the shouting of "rush, kill" gradually coming from not far away, Huang Jie immediately hit a spirit, and shouted loudly at the first time: "Prepare for battle, prepare for battle, all the~ me up, the Red Bandit Army is about to arrive, and those who don't want to die will get up and fight for me." ”
As Huang Jie shouted first, the other officers also recovered from the shock, and followed Huang Jie to keep shouting, calling the soldiers who got up from the crowd, and constantly using money and official positions to stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight.
