Chapter 108: Seeking Fire Zhonggong Town
,
Yesterday, the girl came to the puppet's house, huh...... And then...... And then...... It's 1 o'clock in the afternoon today, uh...... You know.
The 41st Army, acting commander Su Zhichen, deputy commanders Su Zhichen and Bao Gang, and later Bao Gang was promoted to army commander.
At this time, the Fourth Army can be described as strong, but the equipment is not so strong. Except for a few light and heavy machine guns and a variety of rifles, there were few guns. Not to mention the Fourth Army Corps, even in Jiang Zhongzheng's First Group Army, there were only two artillery regiments directly under it, and Chen Cheng, who was known as "always loyal to the commander-in-chief", concurrently served as the artillery commander of the General Headquarters, commanding Yao Yongan of the First Artillery Regiment and Yang Deliang of the Second Artillery Regiment.
This time, although Chen Cheng accompanied the Northern Expedition as the artillery commander of the First Group Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army, he basically did not participate in the front-line operations this time. Along the way, it was just: "sometimes hear the rumbling of cannons", and sometimes see "fragments of enemy shells on the side of the road". On 26 April, Chen Cheng entered Jinan with the Zhenwu Regiment of the First Group Army and stayed in the Zhang Zongchang Military Administration, where the headquarters was located.
At the meeting held, Fang Zhenwu didn't expect Chen Cheng, a "top student", to help, but only ordered the 34th Army's 88th Division Wang Rixin to immediately attack the Tu Qian Army Headquarters in Zhonggong Town! The order must be taken within one day! At the same time, the 41st Division of the 92nd Army was ordered to be the Jinan garrison, and the rest of the troops were on standby! Everyone agreed, and in their opinion, the Northern Expedition seemed to be coming to an end. Then Jiang Zhongzheng's appointment as the commander of the Jinan garrison is uncertain, and he may be a "King of Qilu" in the future!
After the meeting, Feng Huatang, commander of the 92nd Division, immediately summoned his subordinates to order the defense of Jinan City, and set up the division headquarters in the station post street.
Late at night on April 27, nearly 4,000 people from a brigade under the command of Wang Rixin, commander of the 1st Division, launched an attack on Zhonggong Town! Since there is no artillery cover, there is not much experience in night battles, and more than 4,000 people just shouted and charged directly!
In fact, as early as when Wang Rixin's troops were assembled, Tu Qianjun received the news of the Northern Expeditionary Army's movement at the outpost, but he just sneered and said to Qi Mudeng, who was stationed on the front line: "Keep an eye on them, I guess those guys don't have artillery." Fight with light and heavy machine guns, and if you want to rush to about 200 meters, you will take the flower mechanism to Lao Tzu to clean him up! Don't waste bullets on rifles or something, you can't see anything scared by this black light?! Almost a hundred meters they hit again. Grenades or something, you look at it yourself, it's all old people who are fighting wars, and I won't say anything. ”
As he spoke, Qi Muden leaned on the trench and squinted his eyes and said, "When they reach two hundred meters and call me, you fight first." Tell the cubs below that no one is so special that they don't fire Lao Tzu first! Do you hear me?! ”
After Wu Gui responded with a smile, he turned around and passed the order. After receiving the order, the soldiers of An ** grinned and set up their rifles, twisted the cover of the grenade, pulled out the fire rope, and waited for the group of soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who rushed over to die.
At this time, Zhang Dashan was looking at the soldiers charging all over the mountains with great ambition, and he consciously had the majesty of Fang Zhenwu, the commander of our Fourth Army! After listening to the storytelling for a few days, he also said quite self-confidently: The canopy is in ashes when talking and laughing!
"......Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly! Zhang Dashan heard the roar of at least five or more heavy machine guns coming from that position, which almost knocked him down!
"Da ...... "This is not over! When the heavy machine guns rang out, at least ten or more light machine guns were firing at the charging troops! Suddenly, the hundreds of people who rushed in front were swept down miserably! Although the follow-up troops heard the roar of the light and heavy machine guns, they couldn't stop for a while and rushed into the firing range of the roaring light and heavy machine guns, and at this time, those light and heavy machine guns had already begun to extend their firepower! Whether it was those who stopped their steps or those who didn't, they were swept down all at once!
For a time, the charging troops of more than 4,000 people screamed and retreated, leaving at least more than 1,000 corpses and wounded! Even the last part of the rout was knocked over by the extended fire, and the soldiers who ran in front rushed towards Zhang Dashan with a miserable howl.
Then, Zhang Dashan watched in amazement as his troops of more than 4,000 people collapsed in a few minutes, and before he could react, at least more than 1,000 people in this brigade overturned in Zhonggong Town! At this time, they had not even rushed within two hundred meters of this position......
