When the Tenth Front Army embarked on the road of the Long March, it became a tree without a source of water and roots, and they had always been abundant in bullets, but they also began to conserve ammunition.

Du Yuming even ordered his soldiers not to shoot until the effective range of their rifles, and as for semi-automatic firepower, the range was even shorter, so they could only wait silently.

The Hunan army saw this wait as weakness, and they thought that the 10th Front Army had lost the courage to continue fighting, so the frantic advance began.

Although Du Yuming only has two divisions under his command, it does not mean that Du Yuming is easy to bully, although there is no heavy firepower, but the power of the Czech machine gun is not blown, and the Three Points Society does not know how many lives of the Hunan army are required by the Three Points Society.

The battle lasted until dark, the Hunan army did not take a single step, and Du Yuming also suffered huge losses, especially on the opposite side, with the support of artillery and aircraft, many positions were blown up, and the soldiers were in the trenches, and their ears and noses were bleeding.

There is a saying in China that there is no army without Hunan Province, and it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Hunan army is still very strong, and wave after wave is like a tide of uninterrupted pouring towards the position.

The front retreated, and the latter immediately caught up, and the last one actually started a white-knuckle battle with Du Yuming's men, and fought until it was dark, and then retreated.

On the left flank of the passage, the battle of the blocking corps also began, and the Xinxu ferry was the only way for the Gui army to go north, because it guarded a road to the Xiang River. On both sides of the highway are overgrown hills with weeds, and beyond the hills there is an endless plain, and if you fail, there is no way back.

And stationed here is the Third Hunan Division, the division commander Cai Tingkai. The order He Long gave him was to hold on for four days no matter what.

On the eighteenth, as soon as the morning dawned, the Gui Army's Seventh Army launched a frantic attack.

The Seventh Army of Steel is the core unit of the Gui Army, and it is also the most advanced team in the Gui Army, and at the same time, Bai Chongxi is equipped with dozens of field artillery in order to play the momentum of the Seventh Army of Steel.

As soon as the cannon rang out, Cai Tingkai's position shook the ground, and countless soldiers were killed by the cannon. The positions were also beaten into disarray.

As Liu Yuan's troops frequently used infantry and artillery coordination tactics, the Gui army also learned this tactic, and the elite Steel Seventh Army rushed up on the artillery point.

In an instant, it devoured a battalion in the front-line position, and at this time, Cai Tingkai finally let the soldiers shoot signal flares, and the mortars of the 3rd Hunan Division finally sounded, accompanied by countless grenades.

The losses on both sides were extremely heavy, and more than 2,000 corpses were left on the first battle alone, including more than 1,300 corpses of the Seventh Army of Steel and more than 700 of the Third Hunan Division.

The battle report soon reached Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi hurriedly collected information, and only later did he know that it was Cai Tingkai, a big bull, who was fighting against his subordinates.

Liu Fei kept scolding the street, "Liu Yuan, this scourge, is really a talented person, how can Cai Tingkai be a division commander?" ”

However, Cai Tingkai really blocked the pace of the Gui army's march.

On the same day, on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, Guan Linzheng led two divisions to also fight with the Central Army, with Liu Yuan's overall command, and the battle would never have the mistake of being annihilated last time.

The large army kept marching, and the troops responsible for blocking it were struggling to support, especially Du Yuming accepted the most pressure, because He Jian sent more than 150,000 troops, while his troops were less than 20,000. With a tenfold gap, Du Yuming received unparalleled pressure.

The troops were destroyed in formation, and by the 20th there were less than 5,000 men left. The other blocking forces also lost more than half.

Liu Yuanzhi said that he still miscalculated, although he crossed the Xiangjiang River first with the troops, but he never thought that the follow-up troops would enter so slowly, and Xu Xiangqian, who was sitting in the rear, actually told him that it would take at least a day and a half to completely cross the Xiangjiang River.

Liu Yuan could only send a report to the troops again, and let the front-line troops hold out for a day and a half.

Du Yuming and Cai Tingkai could only read out the telegram from the position in person, "holding high the banner of victory and advancing towards the line of fire," but where the victory was, even the front-line commanders had doubts about the victory.

The troops behind are mostly logistics troops, as well as civilian staff, and the pace of movement is extremely slow.

The logistics personnel of the follow-up troops, led the mules and horses carrying heavy loads, slowly crossed the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge is full of large luggage as far as the eye can see.

The enemy's shells kept falling in the river, setting off the earth-shattering water, and the pontoon bridge began to shake. The frightened horse dragged the soldier directly into the water.

Jiang Mian picked up the books used by the soldiers to study, as well as the office supplies of the civilian staff. Even the props of Li Zhilong's art troupe fell into his hands, and Li Zhilong personally jumped into the water and fell into the female soldiers.

Li Zhilong had a very enmity with Chiang Kai-shek. He opened his mouth and began to sing Peking Opera. And the female soldier also recovered from the panic and sang along with Li Zhilong.

"Hearing this, I couldn't help but get angry and curse in my heart, and Chiang Kai-shek listened carefully.

In that year, Guangdong ordered troops to leave, and deceived our 10th Army to go out of Hunan to fight Jiangxi and capture Hankou......

I killed you with ten armies, and you didn't leave a piece of armor.

At that moment, all the noise above the Xiangjiang River suddenly fell silent, and the voices of Li Zhilong and female soldiers echoed in the heavens and the earth.

On the evening of 22 January, the blocking line deployed by the Tenth Front Army in the north and south of the Xiangjiang River had been so severely compressed that the passage was about to be blocked.

At this time, something even more depressing happened, the position of the Third Hunan Division was breached, Cai Tingkai was seriously injured, and the Seventh Army of Steel took the lead in killing and inserted it from the south to the middle and rear of the Tenth Front Army, which perfectly showed Xiao Zhuge in the command of the campaign.

However, Bai Chongxi still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Third Hunan Division, the party representative of the Third Hunan Division was a soldier with a strong civilian atmosphere, but he was extremely brave, and his marksmanship was not accurate.

But he was at the forefront, stubbornly resisting, shouting, "Long live the nation and the country." Died on the battlefield, Liu Yuan cried loudly after hearing this.

"Bai Chongxi beheaded my general, and he must be returned ten times a day."

Wang Guowei's death deeply shocked all the officers and soldiers of the Hunan Third Division, and all the soldiers fought to the death and actually recaptured the lost position, and at this time He Long's support troops finally rushed over. Barely holding the position.

It was not until the evening of the 23rd that the 10th Front Army finally crossed the pontoon bridge, and not being able to cross the pontoon bridge was the biggest pain in Liu Yuan's life.

Liu Yuan swore that he would never give up his troops from now on.

The sun was slowly setting, and Liu Yuan took a look at the pontoon bridge at the back of the day.

"Blow it up."

"Boom, boom." With endless explosions, the pontoon bridge that had just passed through the Tenth Front Army disappeared into this worldly realm.

Liu Yuan slowly took off the lieutenant general's uniform representing the honor of the soldiers, put on the most ordinary military uniform, and put the steel helmet on his head, I am also a soldier myself. How can I forget my own glory, the blood of battle, please be excited.
