Chapter 315: The Fierce Battle of Wu Chenzhuang (4)
Having said that, in fact, the logistics and transportation capacity of the Feng army is really not good, since the entry into the customs operation, the supply of ammunition to the front-line troops is often insufficient, but the Anhui army on the opposite side is not much better, compared to the Feng army has a modern logistics supply system, the logistics system of the Anhui army can be said to be more fragile, and the war can only rely on the ammunition carried by the army itself, and the ammunition carried by the army itself is limited, and the follow-up can only rely on the logistics line supply.
The Anhui army has now even been cut off by the Feng army even the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it can only transport supplies for the front-line troops from a limited number of land passages, but this kind of supply is only a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of Anhui troops located in Xuzhou.
You must know that there are more than 100,000 troops on both sides on the front line of Xuzhou, and the Anhui army is 50,000 or 60,000 people.
Although the number of Anhui troops is large, in fact, from a logistical point of view, there is no way for the Anhui army to maintain a large-scale battle with more than 50,000 participants and lasting more than half a month.
It's just that the civil war in the country is actually a worse war than anyone else, the logistics and transportation conditions of the Feng army are not better there, the logistics and transportation situation of the Anhui army is also bad to death, and the logistics system of several other warlords can be directly ignored, in this kind of worse war, the Feng army is also a system of regular army, although there are countless problems, but it can barely allow the troops on the Xuzhou front line to attack.
This situation is directly reflected in An Yulong's attack, although the ammunition available in his hands, especially the mortar 'artillery shells', is limited, but relying on the shelling from time to time, it still greatly suppresses the firepower of the Anhui army on the opposite side, and when the main force of the battalion headquarters launched a covering attack, the second company on the left flank also launched the final charge!
In the explosion of shells and gunfire, Gong Chehou led the troops to launch several attacks in a row, watching the soldiers around him fall one after another, Gong Chehou's face did not change in the slightest, and he was already mentally prepared to pay heavy casualties before the attack.
He lay on the ground, although the vision in front of him was somewhat obstructed, but when he heard another explosion in front of him, and with the dense heavy machine gun strafing sound from the rear battalion headquarters, with the battalion headquarters covering again, he also stood up again, and then shouted: "Rush! ”
As his order was issued, several platoon commanders under his command also continued to attack with their soldiers, and as soon as they stood up, they had not advanced more than ten meters, and a dense burst of bullets swept from the opposite side, which was the fire interception carried out by the infantry company on the opposite side.
The last herald who followed Gong Chehou fell after being hit by a bullet, but Gong Chehou didn't even look at it, still holding the saber and continuing to rush forward!
Closer, closer, when Gong Chehou rushed to the enemy's infantry company's position less than thirty meters, he shouted loudly again: "Grenade bombs!" ”
In fact, before he could give the order, the soldiers had already dropped their grenades, and the distance of twenty or thirty meters was enough for the soldiers to throw their grenades into the enemy trenches.
And after the explosion of grenades from the enemy position, Gong Chehou shouted again: "Rush! ”
Then he rushed into the enemy trench with a pistol in one hand and a saber in the other, while the other soldiers also rushed into the enemy trench with their bayonet rifles.
In an instant, the soldiers on both sides dressed in earthy yellow and blue-gray were entangled with each other, at this time, the gunfire seemed to stop, the explosion seemed to have stopped, Gong Chehou's face was still calm, I saw him rush into the trench, and then saw an Anhui soldier in an earthy yellow military uniform rushing towards him with a rifle with a bayonet, his face did not change, and he immediately raised his hand to shoot, and sent the bullet of the pistol into the body of the Anhui soldier.
And at this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another Anhui soldier stabbing at him, and it was too late to use a pistol, so he immediately pushed the military knife in his hand upward, pushed the opponent's bayonet away, and strode forward, and then slashed down with a knife, and in an instant, the Anhui soldier's upper neck spurted out blood several feet high, and the blood crossed the air, falling on Gong Chehou's face with warmth.
However, at this time, there was another soldier of the Anhui army on the left who shouted at him with a bayonet in the gray mist, and before Gong Chehou could react, the next moment he felt a pain in his abdomen!
Rao is he prides himself on being a determined soldier, but the severe pain still makes him unable to stand, a stumbling is about to fall, he immediately backhanded the military knife in his hand into the soil, relying on the support of the military knife in his hand He finally did not fall, and then looked up to see which Anhui soldier attacked him, but at this time he had also fallen, the blood in his chest was gushing out continuously, and the blood stains soon dyed the ground under him red after falling to the ground.
And at this time, a soldier of the Feng Army wearing a blue-gray military uniform appeared in front of him, and he saw that he shouted something, but all around him were the shouts of soldiers on both sides, so that Gong Chehou didn't hear what he was saying at all.
However, after the next breath, another Anhui soldier rushed up, although the Fengjun soldier wanted to dodge the other party's bayonet, but still let him stab him in the chest, but at the moment he fell, he used the last strength of his life and sent the bayonet in his hand into the opponent's body.
Then the two hostile soldiers fell to the ground!
The shouts around him slowly weakened, Gong Chehou also felt that the strength of his body was passing rapidly, and his eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, he looked around hard, he wanted to know: Did he win?
But when I looked back a few times, I found that there was no trace of the enemy except for the corpses all over the ground, but there were only a dozen comrades-in-arms on my side.
He won!
And An Yulong, who was in the rear, also put down the telescope at this time, and his face was deep and terrifying at this time!
Although he was mentally prepared for heavy casualties in this attack, he did not expect that the second company would suffer such heavy casualties, the second company was killed and wounded more than half of them on the way to the charge, and finally rushed to the enemy's position, but it was actually met with the enemy's stubborn hand-to-hand resistance, in the face of the resistance of the enemy's entire company, although the soldiers of the second company were extremely brave, and forced the enemy to retreat after killing and wounding most of the enemy, but the second company is now only a dozen people.
A lieutenant next to him looked anxious at this time: "Battalion commander, hurry up and open fire, the second company has already used its own sacrifice to obtain a forward position for us, and only now can we stop the enemy's reinforcements by carrying out an urgent barrage interception!" ”
At this time, another captain also took a deep breath and said, "Battalion commander, let's open artillery to intercept the enemy first, and I will immediately lead the headquarters up!" ”
An Yulong listened to their words, his face was still as deep as before, he turned his head to look at the captain next to him, and then nodded: "Brother Li, be careful!" ”
Then he glanced at the dozen or so soldiers who were still remnants hundreds of meters away, and behind these soldiers were the soldiers of the Anhui army, who were already preparing to launch a counterattack immediately after losing their positions.
After a while, he closed his eyes: "Let's shoot!" ”
With his order, the 80-mm mortars of the 3rd Battalion and the 60-mm mortars of several other companies began to carry out indiscriminate attacks on the positions that the 2nd Company had easily captured, this time, many mortars of the 3rd Battalion no longer had the slightest reservation, and three 80-mm mortars and four 60-mm mortars burst out with the maximum combat rate of fire, and almost instantly fired dozens of mortar shells, and then these mortar shells fell on the heads of the Anhui troops in the distance. However, the Anhui army was so close to the remnants of the second company that a small half of the shells fell on the position that the second company had managed to capture.
On the other side, Captain Li had already led the third company to quickly forward reinforcements, and when they arrived at the place a few minutes later, they found that the counter-attacking troops of the Anhui army on the opposite side had begun to retreat, and after being intercepted by seven mortars, even the most elite fourth division under Duan Qirui was forced to begin to retreat.
After repelling the Anhui army's attempt to counterattack, Captain Li found Gong Chehou among the corpses all over the ground, at this time Gong Chehou was already in a semi-comatose state, although he was not completely unconscious, but it was very difficult for the whole person to even open his eyes.
Captain Lee immediately shouted, "Medic! ”
The medics quickly ran over and began to give Gong Chehou the simplest battlefield treatment, and the medic looked at Gong Chehou's injuries and said: "He has a very serious abdominal injury, and he has lost too much blood, so he must be immediately sent to the division headquarters field hospital for treatment!" ”
Captain Li nodded, and then arranged for two soldiers to carry Gong Chehou onto a stretcher and then carry him to the rear!
Gong Chehou can still be treated in time for such a serious injury, and he will be sent to the rear field hospital as soon as possible, which is naturally related to his status as an officer, if it is just an ordinary soldier, in today's fierce battle situation, Captain Li will not specially dispatch people to carry it to the rear hospital, if the soldiers want to be treated, if they are slightly injured, they can be directly and simply cared for on the battlefield, if they are seriously injured, unless the battle situation is relatively easy, they can be treated after the battle.
However, Gong Chehou is a different kind of officer, the soldier dies and dies, originally these soldiers are consumables like bullets in the eyes of the officer, but the officer's words are much more important, generally as long as they are not killed on the spot, most of them can be rescued on the battlefield, and serious injuries will be sent to the rear hospital.
Of course, according to the contemporary medical level, whether or not you can be saved depends on character, if you are seriously injured, regardless of whether the soldier or the officer, in fact, the survival rate is very small, even if you do not die on the spot, you will die due to various infections in the future.
When the third battalion successively sent the second company and the third company to attack the enemy's left flank, after nearly 200 people were killed and wounded, the enemy's left flank position was finally taken, and then the third battalion took this as the starting position, and then sent a whole platoon of death squads, rushed through the last forty or fifty meters of distance, and directly destroyed the strong cement machine gun fortress of the Anhui army with explosives packs, when the machine gun fortress was blown up, An Yulong decisively ordered the whole battalion to attack, two hours later, Zhao Dongzhi received a battle report from An Yulong: the ministry is fortunate not to be dishonored, Defeat the enemy fortress!
When Zhao Dongzhi learned about it, he immediately ordered the whole regiment to launch a large-scale night attack!
At midnight that night, Zhao Dongzhi's 11th Regiment conquered the enemy's main position at Wu Chenzhuang, and at 4 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Dongzhi sent back a battle report to the division headquarters, saying that he had conquered Wu Chenzhuang along the way.
When the 11th Regiment conquered Wu Chenzhuang, Gu Lanyu ordered the 3rd Division to launch a large-scale attack the next morning to consolidate the forward stronghold of Wu Chenzhuang and prevent the enemy from launching a large-scale counteroffensive, and when the 3rd Division launched a large-scale attack, the 1st Independent Heavy Artillery Battalion also separated into Wu Chenzhuang, which was stained with the blood of soldiers of the two armies of Fengwan at dawn, and then used its range of more than 10,000 meters to launch a counter-artillery operation against the artillery positions in the hinterland of the Anhui army!
