Chapter 57: The Jedi Strikes Back
Encircled and annihilated Sun Chuanfang
Sun Chuanfang never dreamed that today would be his end, he had his own source of intelligence, that is, the army under Chiang Kai-shek, the heart was not very united, not to mention the coordinated operation, even if it was to occupy a city, it could cause contradictions, and the reason why he was able to easily recapture Nanchang City for the first time was this reason.
According to the speed of their previous march, the General Staff calculated that Chiang Kai-shek's troops would have three days to reach the battlefield at the earliest, and this morning, in the direction of the rising sun, the blue sky and white sun flag were already flying high.
Sun Chuanfang knew that he worshipped, but he lost to a young division commander, not that he had no ability, he lost to the sky, and God did not give him time.
To surround his own troops, there must be at least more than 200,000 people, Sun Chuanfang knows that these more than 200,000 people, plus the soldiers in Nanchang City, can definitely give himself a fatal blow, at this time Sun Chuanfang thought of surrendering or committing suicide.
Surrender? Sun Chuanfang thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head, how could he be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five provinces, what was the matter of surrendering to Chiang Kai-shek, and being Chiang Kai-shek's subordinate?
He, Chiang Kai-shek, is just a gangster on the beach, but if he doesn't surrender, what can he do? Could it be that after being electrified and going to the wilderness, he has been beautiful for half his life, is that kind of square life really suitable for him?
Thinking of this, Sun Chuanfang thought of what he thought was the wisest thing to do, suicide.
Browning pistol, known as the Horse brand pistol, 7, 65mm, a shot into the head, can definitely make people feel no pain.
Sun Chuanfang took a look at this world at a glance, stroked the pistol that had followed him for I don't know how many years, and gently pressed it on his temple.
"Handsome! No, we haven't lost yet, you can't. The Japanese said they would send troops to help us if we wanted to. When the young staff officer was reporting the military situation, he found Sun Chuanfang, who was about to commit suicide, and hugged Sun Chuanfang excitedly and said.
"The Japanese, what kind of wolf ambitions do they have, can I not know what to do? What they value is nothing more than the land of our ancestors, if I invite the support of the Japanese, I will be a traitor, a traitor, and in this form, even if the Japanese send troops, it will be too late, and I Sun Chuanfang will die, not that my Sun Chuanfang is not capable enough, Sun Chuanfang sighed again. After I die, you take my order to let the whole army surrender, if you want to continue to be a soldier and find a brother in the General Staff, go to Liu Yuan, he is not an ordinary person, at the latest ten years, this is also a figure like Wu Ziyu. ”
"Dashuai, we have more than 100,000 people, why don't we work hard?" The staff officer snatched Sun Chuanfang's pistol and threw it aside.
"If you look at the quality of our people, you can see the quality of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it's not that our weapons are not as good as them, it's really that we stand on the opposite side of the people, and the people don't support us, so we are defeated, and now how many places in the five provinces are in our hands? We lost. ”
Sun Chuanfang sat on the chair dejectedly, silent, Jiang Fangzhen came in, although the injuries on his body were still not healed, his face had become ruddy.
"Xinyuan, is there a mistake in Zhilu Dao?" Jiang Fangzhen was followed by a young man, quietly guarding the side.
"Teacher, I know the truth, but what can I do? You also know that I was just a child from a poor family back then, and the reason why I was able to get to this position today was because of the support of my brothers in the back, and now they can't let go of today's position, I can only stand in front and fight with them, and now that I have reached this situation, I have no choice. Sun Chuanfang said decadently.
Jiang Fangzhen nodded, "Since you know that you don't have the skills to return to heaven, let's go to Chiang Kai-shek and surrender, they are all people from Baoding Military Academy, and he won't do anything to you." ”
"Is the teacher here to be a lobbyist? If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Chiang Kai-shek is absolutely impossible, what kind of person is he, his wife is abandoned casually, Lang Fengyue, just a gangster on the beach, let me surrender to this kind of person, I would rather die, but if I surrender to Liu Yuan, it is still okay, from the perspective of a soldier, I admire him. Sun Chuanfang said with admiration.
"No, he is too young, if you surrender to him, you will kill him, his status is not high enough, if you surrender to him, you will let Chiang Kai-shek lose face." Jiang Fangzhen frowned and said.
"Hehe, the teacher let me think about it" Sun Chuanfang smiled, the young division commander who was still fighting street battles with his own soldiers in the city, definitely couldn't think of his enemy, in the most difficult time, he was actually thinking about him, they are all Chinese, fight a fucking battle, what is the point of killing their own people.
As more and more troops entered the battlefield, dozens of miles around Nanchang City became a battlefield, and at this time, Sun Chuanfang's troops had no possibility of escaping.
At this time, the troops were completely brilliant, they had Ye Ting's independent regiment, Li Zongren's steel seventh army, Wei Lihuang's 14th division, and He Yingqin's second division.
Chiang Kai-shek found that at this moment, it was not him who was directing the battle at all, when the signal of the general attack sounded, the troops were completely out of control, and from the brigade commander, they began to have their own ideas, among which Ye Ting and Wei Lihuang were ruthlessly interspersed on the battlefield, turning Sun Chuanfang's troops into a mess.
Hu Zongnan personally led the remaining more than 2,000 veterans of the Third Division, starting from Nanchang, interspersed all the way, and finally met General Li Zongren.
General Li Zongren was fighting against Sun Chuanfang's ace division in the second brigade of the Seventh Army, and when the battle was inextricable, Hu Zongnan's wonderful army came out of the way, killing from the rear oblique, directly disrupting the local position, so that the enemy's ace division completely retreated, I don't know how many people surrendered in Ludao, and I don't know how many people died in Ludao.
General Li Zongren later wrote in his memoirs, "Saying that General Hu Zongnan has no ability, I Li Zongren was the first to disbelieve it, when the Battle of Nanchang was held, General Hu Zongnan took the remaining 2,000 elites of the three divisions, fought all the way, fought fiercely for dozens of miles, tireless, the battle robe was bloody, and the two thousand bloody soldiers stood in the wind, murderous. But is the price too heavy, General Liu Yuan led a total of more than 13,000 troops, but there were only more than 3,000 people left in the end, is it Liu Yuan and Hu Zongnan that the two generals have no way to command? It's just that the principal is incompetent. However, no matter how future generations judge, we won the Battle of Nanchang, Chiang Kai-shek regained face, and his prestige increased again, but who remembers the generals who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die? ”
