Chapter 193 The Decisive Battle of Western Anhui (9) Supplement 2

The night is lonely, and the people are also depressed. Since the founding of the Tenth Army, there has never been such a time when 2,000 cavalry can come and go, causing losses of more than 3,000 men, and all the soldiers of the two field hospitals have been killed, causing losses of more than 5,000 people.

The Tenth Army has been taking the elite route, which is also for what to do all the way, although there are not many troops, but they have always been willing to win the battle, and now the first battle of Xinyang sacrificed more than 5,000 people, plus the losses caused by the strong attack during the day, the first stop of the Tenth Army lost more than 10,000, and the loss of the Northwest Army was no more than 8,000, which made Jiang Xianyun's head fatal.

At this time, they shuttled through the barracks, cheering up the soldiers, asking for warmth, and boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Jiang Xianyun naturally will not be idle, he has been checking military affairs in the army, although the soldiers will not say anything in front of him, but their suspicions can be seen from the corner of their eyes.

And Nie Rongzhen, who has never interfered with his command, walked to Jiang Xianyun's side for the first time, he was still holding a tea jar in his hand, the egg noodles in it had not been eaten, he shook it and poured it all into his stomach, glanced at Jiang Xianyun, Jiang Xianyun understood what he meant, and walked to the side with Nie Rongzhen.

It stands to reason that in the series of the National Revolutionary Army, the status of party representatives is higher than that of military commanders, and Jiang Xianyun is still the deputy commander-in-chief, but in the Tenth Group Army, there has never been a mention of party personnel interfering in the military, and before leaving, Liu Yuan arranged an order for Nie Rongzhen to cultivate Jiang Xianyun's independence, and he really cultivated Jiang Xianyun as a great future.

Therefore, knowing that there were loopholes in the layout of the Dao team, Nie Rongzhen didn't say anything, but the losses caused by Jiang Xianyun today were indeed a little bigger, more than 2,000 cavalry appeared in the rear, and the huge impact and fast movement speed, no one could do anything.

In desperation, Nie Rongzhen rushed out of the command headquarters and shouted All the members of the Elite Alliance of the Strong Nation and I Chong, even Jiang Xianyun himself did not know that there would be so many people in the army of the Elite Alliance of the Powerful Countries, and more than a thousand people rushed out of the ranks, and launched a counter-charge against the cavalry with guns.

How much courage does it take, most of the officers who followed Nie Rongzhen's charge were officers of the army, although they had not joined the Elite Alliance of Powerful Powers for a long time, it did not mean that they were not excellent, most of them used machine guns to live fast and slow machines, and the powerful firepower had a huge impact on the soldiers on the opposite side, even if it was cavalry, they kept falling.

In desperation, the cavalry could only retreat, of course, they still swept the rear of Jiang Xianyun's team, and caused huge losses with the field hospital.

While the cavalry was charging, Du Yuming sent two whole main divisions to storm the frontal position, wanting to take advantage of the chaos in Jiang Xianyun's rear to launch a strong counteroffensive against Liu Yuan's Tenth Army.

Different from the chaos of the other defensive line troops, at this time, the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Guards were extremely calm, not caring about what was happening in the rear, only knowing that Lu Dao obeyed the orders of the commander.

Du Yu knew that there could not be many soldiers in the rear of the road, so it was not a big trouble at all, so he didn't care at all, so when Feng Yuxiang launched a strong attack, he didn't panic at all, but retreated steadily with the soldiers, but in the eyes of Feng Yuxiang's division commander, it was a sign that Du Yuming was afraid, so the two division commanders attacked forward with their lives, regardless of the distance between them and the back, Feng Yuxiang was very happy, the two main divisions could just send Lu to repel the opposing troops, This proves that Liu Yuan's soldiers are not as powerful as they imagined, they will also be afraid, just preparing to attack the whole army, the enemy position actually began to erupt in a rambling outbreak, the entire position is a churning sea of fire, but the enemy's position is its own soldiers, because they have just occupied.

Then there were many soldiers crawling out of the anti-artillery hole before they had time to check urgently, and the machine guns in their hands caused huge losses to the two divisions from behind, and if Feng Yuxiang's troops had not pressed up, the eight thousand men of these two divisions would have to be lost here.

This is also a relatively reassuring thing for Jiang Xianyun, if Du Yuming also loses the battle on the front line, then the Tenth Army really has no morale.

Jiang Xianyun stood beside Nie Rongzhen for a long time, originally ready to accept Nie Rongzhen's lesson, but Nie Rongzhen didn't say a word, and Jiang Xianyun couldn't survive the last day, and asked, "Party representative, do you want to teach me a lesson." ”

Nie Rongzhen used to be Jiang Xianyun's instructor, and Jiang Xianyun respected him very much back then.

"Today's incident, the commander-in-chief already knows about it." Nie Rongzhen walked away, thought about it and said, "I told him, after all, it is the first time for you to command such a large-scale army to fight, and it is not as good as the commander-in-chief, although he has the heart to cultivate you, but many times it is best to follow his advice." "Nie Rongzhen used to be a member of the Red Party, and he was quite special in Liu Yuan's team, so relatively speaking, he also respected Jiang Xianyun, who was also from the Red Party, and did not teach him a lesson as a party representative.

Jiang Xianyun's face was not very good-looking, but he knew that it was his duty for the representatives of the Dao Party to report the situation of the troops to his superiors, so he couldn't say anything, and Nie Rongzhen was his elder, so he couldn't say anything excessive, so he could only nod and say, "The battle is not good, it is indeed my fault, I originally meant to be a soldier of Dabie Mountain, and I have not experienced a big battle, so I am not going to let them go to the big war, where I know that they are so slack, but they are not the opponent of the cavalry of the two thousand Northwest Army, by the way, what does the commander-in-chief say?" ”

Seeing Jiang Xianyun admit his mistake, Nie Rongzhen was very satisfied, and said, "The commander-in-chief really didn't expect that we would have this defeat, but he asked me to tell you that we suffered this big defeat, and our morale was very low, so it would be very difficult to storm strongly, and there was another point, Feng Yuxiang was likely to launch a night attack on us when our morale was low, if the night attack was successful, then we would lose the war, because if the night attack on the opposite side was successful, our low things would definitely be worse, and the night battle would have been very chaotic, Hopefully, our team will be broken up, so I hope you will prepare well. ”

This, looking at the tired soldiers, looking at the campfire with the flames floating, the purring body that heard the sound of the mountain, and the low groan of pain, Jiang Xianyun had a shuddering feeling, fortunately Liu Yuan reminded him, otherwise he would probably destroy the Tenth Army.

However, since he knew that the other party was likely to launch a night attack, Jiang Xianyun was not afraid, and said to Nie Rongzhen, "Party representative, you help me with the staff, you see how this goes." ”

After listening to Jiang Xianyun's arrangement, Nie Rongzhen was also taken aback, and pondered for a long time before saying, "The idea is really good, but you are really gambling, what if you lose the bet." ”

Jiang Xianyun gritted his teeth and said, "The commander-in-chief also said, our morale is low, if we attack strongly, it will definitely not work, and the Northwest Army has always been good at enduring hardships and strong patience. Why don't I send a telegram to the headquarters for instructions? ”

Nie Rongzhen thought about it for a while, and then said, "No need to ask for instructions, the headquarters doesn't know the specific form of the battlefield at all, he can't make a decision at all, and Liu Yuan won't interfere with our command, since you want to do it, just do it, anyway, even if you lose, we still have 50,000 people in Yudong, and he has other baggage that can destroy Feng Yuxiang, at least ensure that if we lose, Feng Yuxiang will not be able to fight all the way to Jiangxi without foster care, and we still have hope with Jiangxi." ”

Seeing Xu Ke's sake, support me.
