Chapter Nine: The Battle of the Xiangjiang River (7)
When Liu Hua saw his three elite companies enter the attack position, he immediately ordered the long-prepared artillery to open fire. Although as a graduate student of later generations, he did not think much of the power of the 60 mortar. But after all, the power of 16 salvos is still quite shocking.
After only a whistling sound, 16 shells fell near the enemy headquarters, and before the enemy could react, another batch of 16 shells exploded.
The artillery company resolutely carried out the order of the regiment commander Liu Hua, and each gun had to finish 10 shells in the fastest time. It's not that Liu Hua is stingy, he knows that the power of 60 mortars lies in killing and injuring the enemy's vital force, and after 10 shells, the enemy should hide, so there is no need to waste precious shells, you must know that these shells will become their own trophies after a while. For the Red Third Army, which had always lacked heavy firepower, these shells could only be described as precious.
At this time, Tan Lianfang's command was already in chaos, when the first batch of shells came, two of them fell on the headquarters, if Tan Lianfang's guards hadn't pressed him down in time, maybe after a round of shells, Tan Lianfang finally reacted.
"Quick, quick. Call the artillery to suppress it, come on" After saying that, he hid regardless of whether others heard it or not.
But he could not have imagined that it was his own artillery battery that fired at him, but it was strengthened, because there were still 4 captured in Hung Yen.
The soldiers of the Red Tenth Regiment knew that this was their own artillery fire, and looking at such fierce artillery fire, they couldn't help but think of the artillery fire they had endured two days ago, and many people smiled when they saw the enemy running around under their own artillery fire.
However, the chief of staff who was holding the position also stayed. At first, when I heard the sound of artillery, I thought it was another enemy shelling, and was about to order the fighters to retreat to the anti-artillery hole. The shells fell on the enemy's position, such a fierce artillery fire, he had been a Red Army for so long, he knew that it could not be his own people, but he forgot Liu Hua, who was behind the potential enemy.
Just as he was wondering where the artillery fire came from, his intimate and familiar charging horn sounded. He was suddenly excited.
"It's Regiment Commander Liu, Regiment Commander Liu has called back," the wounded member of the Red Tenth Regiment sitting next to him shouted loudly.
It was really a word to wake up the dreamer, and the chief of staff suddenly thought of the agreement with Liu Hua when he left.
"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet, all charge with me," and the first one jumped out of the trench and rushed down.
It turned out that Liu Hua agreed that when the charge horn sounded, the two sides would charge together and crush the enemy in one fell swoop.
Just now, the 10 rounds of artillery shells were quickly finished, and just as the Gui army began to congratulate themselves on their escape, the loud trumpets of the charge and the dense bullet grenades came overwhelmingly.
"Rush" The sound of killing reached their ears, and the sound was like several regiments surrounding them.
In fact, there was no such loud voice, but Liu Hua used the captives again.
At first, those "Red Army" began to be reluctant to shout, Zhang Wangcai hit them with a shuttle of bullets, and then ordered: "Follow me and shout, whoever doesn't shout will never have to shout again." One, two, three: "Rush! "Rush! "Comrades, rush! "Comrades, rush! "......, very well-behaved, this is exactly that; How can a person not bow his head when he is at gunpoint. At first, the soldiers of the "Red Army" reluctantly shouted along with Zhang Wangcai, but later they shouted louder and louder, and the more they shouted, the more energetic they became, and then they were suspected of selling off and striving for meritorious service. Because they no longer shout with Zhang Wangcai, but play freely. "Brothers, rush!" "Brothers, go on, kill the fuck! "Brothers of the Gui army, surrender quickly. "Capture Qin Lianfang alive......" Hundreds of people shouted while slowly moving forward with flags under the command of Zhang Wangcai, the momentum was huge, and it was indeed terrifying.
The Gui army, which thought that it was surrounded on all sides and bloomed in the center, could no longer support it, and there was only one thought in his heart: run, surrender if he can't run, no matter what, it is important to save his life.
However, where can they run, although the number of people on all sides is very small, but the firepower is unprecedented, not only each company has six machine guns captured and replenished in Hung Yen, but also more than a dozen submachine guns, hundreds of rifles, the density of fire is not weaker than a battalion of the Red Army, where can they escape.
At this time, a battalion led by the chief of staff also came up and quickly compressed the enemy in several yards.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Liu Hua ordered the attack to be stopped, but only surrounded and had mortars brought over. Soon, Chen Guangrong came over with 6 mortars and arranged positions.
At this time, Liu Hua suddenly thought of why he didn't capture the enemy. Immediately command the shout.
"Division Commander Tan Lianfang, I am the commander-in-chief of the Red Army this time, you have been surrounded, and there are 6 mortars outside that can fire at any time."
Liu Hua paused for a while and continued to shout, "Division Commander Tan, as far as I know, you are a very prestigious general of the Gui Army, are you willing to fall on the battlefield of the civil war, as a real soldier, that one does not want to gallop on the battlefield for the country and the people." No matter how well he fights on the battlefield of the civil war, it is nothing more than a fight between brothers, and at most he is a hero of the civil war. However, striking at foreign invaders and recovering the great rivers and mountains of the motherland is what every soldier dreams of, and it is an opportunity that will go down in history. ”
"Commander Tan, you still have so many brothers, surrender to the Red Army, nothing, there is no insult to the word military, because we are all Chinese. Master Tan, give you two minutes to think about it. ”
As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, he thought that he needed a certain amount of time to think. But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard an order.
"All the brothers of the Gui army, listen, I am Tan Lianfang, and I order all of you to lay down your arms and stop resisting."
Soon, all the enemies surrendered, and the troops began to clean up the battlefield.
And Tan Lianfang was soon brought to Liu Hua.
Just when Qin Lianfang's mind was turning over the river and the sea, Liu Hua was also looking at the tiger general of the Gui army who had become a prisoner under the steps, this division commander who followed Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to fight in the south and the north, and climbed up step by step from ordinary soldiers, saw the legendary Chinese polite and polite him sitting on the ground with a gray face, lost his soul, his face was red and white. He smiled and asked:
"Master Qin Lianfang, right?"
Qin Lianfang, who was interrupted from his thoughts, hurriedly calmed down, and looked away, only to see a young Red Army cadre looking at him and smiling. He replied:
"Yes, the contemptible person is Qin Lianfang. The contemptible people want to see your highest ruler, and they have something to ask. ”
Bruce Lee next to him laughed out loud and said, "You really don't know Taishan, he is our leader." ”
"You? Are you the head of the regiment? Disrespect, disrespect, confession. May I ask the surname Gao? Tuba? Qin Lianfang looked at Liu Huadao suspiciously. Because Liu Hua is too young.
"My name is Liu Hua, what advice does Master Qin have?" Liu Hua also said politely.
"Liu Hua?" He tried to think about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember that there was this name among the cadres of the Red Army. Of course, from today on, the name "Liu Hua" will be imprinted in his mind and become his eternal nightmare.
"Don't dare, don't dare, what Regiment Leader Liu said just now, I said that I have no place to be ashamed, how can I have any advice? It's just that these soldiers, Regiment Commander Liu, are ready to "finish speaking, and look at Liu Hua."
Liu Hua said with a smile: "Are they? Oh, it depends on their wishes! If they want to stay and join the Red Army, then I absolutely welcome it, and if they don't want to stay, we will definitely release it. ”
Tan Lianfang stopped and was secretly happy, because he knew that the discipline of the Gui army was the strictest among the armies, and there was nothing to embezzle military salaries. However, he did not know how powerful the political cadres of the Red Army were.
Because as soon as the battle ended, Liu Hua told the troops to do as much ideological work as possible on the prisoners, and strive to get some of them to join the Red Army.
By dawn, all the results were counted, a total of 12 mortars, 12 heavy machine guns, a large number of rifles and light machine guns, and countless ammunition were captured.
What made Liu Hua happiest was that after mobilization, the artillery company joined the Red Army in formation, and the baggage battalion had the longest contact with the Red Army, and nearly 300 people joined the Red Army in order to escape the punishment of their superiors, and only a few dozen people were captured at night, but this was enough to make Liu Hua happy, because in this way, the Red Tenth Regiment regained a certain strength, and if weapons and ammunition were added, it was already the best unit of the Red Third Army Corps.
Liu Hua was happy, but Tan Lianfang was dumbfounded, he thought that he could bring back nearly 1,000 people, but he didn't expect the Communist Party to be so powerful, and he pulled nearly 500 people (including the artillery company).
At this time, the chief of staff who had already come to his side was overjoyed, and with the strength of one regiment, he annihilated four regiments of the enemy and captured a large amount of equipment, which was a great victory that had never been won before. Just thinking about how to distribute the captured loot, Liu Hua walked over with a smile.
The chief of staff who watched quickly stopped his reverie and saw what Liu Hua had in mind.
"Chief of Staff, I intend to leave six mortars, six heavy machine guns, and the rest to the corps headquarters. What do you think? After hearing this, the chief of staff quickly agreed, you must know that there is very little artillery fire in a single regiment in the Red Army
After getting the approval of the chief of staff, Liu Hua once again began to organize the troops, although the number was less than a thousand, but in terms of firepower, it was already two regiments of the main forces of the other Red Army.
The regiment has six companies, 5 infantry companies, a machine gun company, as well as a guard platoon, a sniper platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon. Each combat squad is equipped with one light machine gun. The machine gun company had six mortars and six heavy machine guns. Plenty of ammunition. It can be said that the Red Tenth Regiment is the main regiment of the first class of the Red Third Army Corps.
At this time, Mr. Peng of the Legion Department anxiously urged the caller to contact the Red Tenth Regiment. Perhaps because he was too excited at that time, the chief of staff did not keep people at the regiment headquarters, which made Mr. Peng annoyed.
Finally, Unicom snatched the phone and yelled loudly.
"Is it the chief of staff, how did you do it, what happened to the charge just now?"
"Report to Mr. Peng, I am Liu Hua, and the chief of staff is speaking to the prisoners." Liu Hua hurriedly replied.
"What captive? I ask you what happened to the Charger just now? ”
"What? Captive? Who did you take prisoner, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly. ”
"Report to Mr. Peng, just now the Red Tenth Regiment and a reinforced battalion annihilated the 24th Division of the Gui Army, captured nearly 1,000 people under its division commander Tan Lianfang, of which nearly 500 were willing to join the Red Army, and countless materials were captured."
"What, you have annihilated the enemy with less than a regiment of troops, tell me what the hell is going on, hurry up." From the phone, you can hear how excited Peng is always there, you know, now there are almost defeats everywhere, can you not be excited to finally hear a victory?
"Yes, Mr. Peng" Liu Hua began a detailed report, which took more than ten minutes, and Mr. Peng, who listened, kept shouting: "Okay, good job"
