Chapter 352 Henan 2
"Division, Wan Youtian's mixed brigade has all been taken down, the railway side is heavily gathered, the troops of the Feng army can't be spread at all, the ships on both sides of the strait are almost collected for us, and the railway bridge will be blown up at a critical time, unless the Feng army has wings, don't want to fly to our side." At night, Xu Zaitian, chief of staff of the Second Henan Division, said next to Zhao Su that now the Yellow River is rising, and it is not easy for ordinary boats to cross the river.
"Blowing up the railway bridge can only alleviate it for a while, how can the ships along the river in Wenxian, Mengzhou, and Yuanyang be exhausted? When the troops of the Feng army outflank from Shandong, I am afraid that the situation will be even worse at that time. Zhao Su shook his head and said.
"If it is according to the meaning of the master's seat, then wouldn't this battle be unwinnable at all?" Xu Zaitian was stunned and said.
"Nor is it said that it is unrealistic to rely on this approach of blocking the enemy north of the Yellow River without repelling the enemy in the front." Zhao Su shook his head and said, the Yu army is not monolithic, Cheng Shen is just an example, Wan Baoquan and Ding Xiangling, who did not arrive in time when he heard the order, showed that almost no one was optimistic about Zhao Wei. If the time drags on too long and fails to show the combat strength of the Yu army on the battlefield, I am afraid that without the Feng army, the Yu army will also be torn apart. In any case, Zhao Su planned to touch the bottom of the Feng army first, and then it was not too late to blow up the bridge.
"Order, go down, renovate the fortifications, add dinner tonight, everyone will eat a mouthful of meat, if you don't work hard, throw it directly into the river to fish!"
Zhao Su coldly commanded, turned around and left the edge of the Yellow River.
"Yes, Master!"
As Zhao Su said, at this time, Jiang Chaoyong's 13th Division had arrived in Qin County, and the Wen County area had collected ships, and it was obvious that the Northeast Army had long thought of the possibility of the Yu army blowing up the bridge. Moreover, it is impossible for the two divisions to squeeze into one place when they go south.
And Liang Zhongjia, who had been repairing all night on the opposite side of the Yellow River, had already given the order to attack at this time.
"What airport hasn't been repaired yet? Isn't Zhang Wenyuan known as a know-it-all in northern Henan? I can't even do such a thing. Sue him, Lao Tzu's side has already started fighting in the morning, and if you can't see the Fengtian fighter on the bridge after the morning, let him let Lao Tzu stay honestly in northern Henan to grow wheat and gnaw steamed buns for a lifetime! In addition, draw a cavalry regiment for Lao Tzu, immediately. Right away! ”
When the army arrived in Puyang, Liang Zhongjia ordered Zhang Wenyuan to go to Yuanyang first, and repair the airport on the north bank of the Yellow River, so that the planes going south from Beijing could participate in the battle and destroy the defense of the opposite Yu army in one fell swoop. Achieve the effect of deterring places. Although the time was a little rushed, Zhang Wenyuan's loss of the chain still made him angry.
"Damn, transfer the artillery battalion. Bomb me and block the support of the Yu army. Three tanks are exposed, the 67th battalion follows, give me the first to grab the railway! ”
Zhang Wenyuan was busy when he received the call, and Liang Zhongjia had already begun to attack. It's not that he underestimates the Henan army on the other side, but he is also worried that this Henan army will blow up the bridge, although sooner or later they will be able to collect the boats to cross the river, but after all, it will be a delay. Attack for a while first, and then try the combat strength of the Yu army on the opposite side.
Thundered... Three FT17s slowly climbed onto the railway bridge. Pressing the railroad tracks, the railway bridge was three kilometers long, and at the speed of FT17 it took nearly twenty minutes to drive on the bridge alone, and there were sacks piled up on the bridge, and about a company of soldiers defended the bridge in batches to stop the enemy who had ascended the bridge. Zhao Su also specially sent two heavy machine guns. At this time, the railway bridge is a one-way track, so that the railway is not wide, a row of six or seven people to defend is a simple defense, heavy machine guns to take care of such a narrow passage, it is definitely a killing weapon to choose people and eat.
"Mother. Damn, what kind of monster is this? The soldiers of the Henan Second Division, who were defending behind the sacks, saw the steel monster roaring all the way from the opposite side, and couldn't help but tremble in their legs and stomachs, and they were full of food in the morning, but at this time, their palms were full of sweat, and their strength was not used.
"Damn, whatever he is, shoot him a few times first, I don't believe this guy is not afraid of guns." One or two of the more daring soldiers picked up their rifles and opened fire. The bullets made a crisp sound on it, and there were one or two more small gray spots on the deck, which had been ignored by this time when the panic of the soldiers of the 2nd Division began to rise.
"Machine guns, heavy machine guns, fire!"
Heavy machine gun as a rare firepower output of the second division of Henan, in recent years, under the leadership of Zhao Wei under the leadership of the Yu army participated in the most is only in the local bandits, the biggest battle of the war is to exterminate Bai Lang, for these battles, a few artillery, heavy machine guns are extremely sharp preparation, the soldiers of the second division of Henan also rely on this small number of machine guns. This is also the reason why the provincial armies are afraid of the Anhui participating armies, and the all-day armament of the Anhui participating armies is enough for the local armies to suppress the firepower.
The heavy machine guns of the entire Second Henan Division add up to only a dozen or so, which is already one of the elite in Henan Province, second only to Zhao Kui's Guards Brigade and Zhao Jie's Hongwei Army, and stronger than several mixed brigades in the local area. In the previous crackdowns, machine guns rang out and swept them down. However, this time is destined to be an eye-opener for the natives of these Henan provinces, and a series of sounds ....... dingding ding are like music, and the bullet casings that bounce below are like rain.
"Fuck, even the machine gun can't help this big guy, how can this battle be fought?" Zhao Kui is a general who came out of the Yi Army, and the officers who were promoted are also the old blood of the Yi Army, as for the rising stars of the officer faction of the Republic of China, Lu Da and Baoding are not famous in Henan. Many old-thinking people still retain the old name for machine guns at this time.
However, seeing the bullet tickling and being bounced away, the scene in front of me has subverted the understanding of these natives of Yu Province about war, and the unknown affairs are always the most terrifying. In addition to one rifle per man, the Second Henan Division also had twenty or thirty divisional artillery, but with the level of the artillery of the Second Division, it is probably a fool's dream to use mountain artillery or field artillery to attack mobile tanks.
"Feng Jun is powerful, run, run......"
", what's going on up there. The gunfire didn't even sound before it subsided! Before the soldiers in the back could figure out the situation, the soldiers of the Second Yu Division stationed in front blew up their nests and retreated back in one fell swoop, with a frightened face, as if the Feng army on the opposite side was like a flood beast.
"Zhang Chong, you take a platoon. Clean up the sacks on this, let the tanks behind drive up, and I'll lead people to rush up first, occupy the bridgehead, and wait for the tanks to come to support! ”
The battalion commander Wei Qingyun roared loudly, and commanded his subordinates to follow one after another with a pistol, to say that the defense set up by the Second Yu Division on the bridge was not useless, at least the stacked sacks brought a lot of trouble to the tanks captured from the participating troops, with the small physique of FT17. But I don't have the ability to roll all the way over these sacks, and nine times out of ten I will lie down because of the breakdown. Wei Qingyun ran dozens of meters with the soldiers in the battalion, Zhang Chong had already led dozens of people to sweat and lift the sack and throw it aside, and the soldiers of the 8th Division of the brigade also rushed behind him.
The panic will spread, and the soldiers of the Second Yu Division on the bridge retreated like a tide, and Wei Qingyun hit the bridgehead almost without any effort.
"Inform the artillery battalion and fire with all your might, no matter what. They will also blow up the bridge with the Feng army that has defeated the bridge. When Zhao Su learned that the front line had lost the bridge, he suddenly jumped like thunder. grabbed the claim of the signal soldier and scolded, even if there is no fortification, I am afraid it will take so long for the Feng army to run over by itself, is it possible that the soldiers guarding the bridge all grew up eating?
Zhao Su, who did not believe in evil, immediately threw two battalions of troops into a counterattack on the railway bridgehead. The railway bridgehead is so big, no matter how many troops there are, it is difficult to deploy. At this time, Zhao Su also regretted a little, and he had to test the strength of Fengjun. If the railway bridge had been blown up earlier, there would not have been such a critical situation as it is now.
The soldiers of the 8th Division on the railway bridge were sweating profusely, and for the first time on the battlefield, it was not because they were too tired from fighting with the enemy, but because they were tired of clearing obstacles.
The artillery fire of the soldiers of the Second Henan Division hit the bridgehead unscrupulously, and immediately brought a lot of casualties to Wei Qingyun's battalion, which had not gained a firm foothold at the bridgehead.
"Drive the Feng army into the river!" The Yu army of the brigade poured in. Attacking the Feng troops who had just arrived at the bridgehead, the division commander gave a death order that these Feng troops must be driven back, or directly forced down the river.
"Fuck, I didn't expect that the Yu army also had a few belts, the artillery fire was too fierce, the machine gunners stayed on the spot to fortify, and the others gave bayonets to Lao Tzu!" Wei Qingyun, a white-faced scholar, let out a loud shout and looked at the rushing Yu Jun with a cruel smile.
The bayonets are good, and in the face of a multiplier of the enemy, the morale of the 67th battalion is not weaker than that of the other side.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Hundreds of men with bayonets collided with the people coming from the opposite side. Brush brush, every time the bayonet is stabbed, one person will inevitably fall to the ground. Since the First Battle of Boli, although the Northeast Army has strengthened the amount of individual training, it has also learned a certain amount of Japanese stabbing techniques, and a group of three people marched in a triangle. Once the people in front of them block the opponent, the spears in the back are stabbing at the back, compared with the well-trained soldiers of the 8th Division, where are these soldiers of the 2nd Yu Division who are opponents, even if the strength is more than the multiple of the soldiers of the 8th Division at the bridgehead, they will be killed for a while, and the Northeast Army is not those bandits with low equipment and morale. These people, who were accustomed to easy fighting, kept retreating in the face of one casualty after another. And on the bridgehead there were constantly reinforcements from the soldiers of the 8th Division.
The rumbling engine sounded again, but after the sacks on the bridge were cleared, several tanks finally drove off the bridge and rammed into the positions of the 8th Division in a brutal manner.
The soldiers of the Second Division of Henan, who had just been killed and were waiting to regroup, were suddenly blindsided in the face of these big guys rushing over, and the tank overwhelmed several soldiers of the Second Division of Henan, suddenly, and the machine guns rang out violently, and the lethality of the moving machine guns was much greater than that fixed in one place.
More than 2,000 people in the vanguard of the 2nd Henan Division, who had no experience in facing tanks, suddenly blew up the nest, after all, there were few people who had seen tanks on the bridge before, and the fear in front and panic in the back followed the defeat and retreated.
"The situation has been decided, and it seems that there is no need for a plane to come." Through the telescope, Liang Zhongjia saw the collapse of the 2nd Henan Division on the other side of the river, and his heart was relieved, and he grabbed the railway bridge, and with the combat strength and morale of the Henan army in front of him, it would not be too difficult to capture Zhengzhou and Luoyang.
Most of the 8th Division crossed the river with the 13th Division. Leaving a regiment of troops to guard both sides of the railway bridge, most of them took advantage of the situation to cover up. Zhao Jie, who led the 20th Battalion of the Hongwei Army and the 2nd Brigade of Chai Degui Henan to defend Zhengzhou, heard that the 2nd Henan Division and the 15th Battalion of Ma Wende had defeated more than 12,000 people, and most of the Feng army crossed the river.
Chai Degui scolded Zhao Jie for being useless at the same time. It was too late to pack up, so he rushed to Luoyang with his second mixed brigade. At this time, Zhengzhou was in chaos, and the rout soldiers who retreated from the front line were spreading everywhere how powerful the Feng army was, there was a kind of steel monster in the Feng army that was invulnerable, spit out bullets when he saw people, and killed countless people to further extend the panic in the city, compared to Zhao Jie, Zhao Su was much more useful, and Zhao Su originally wanted to retreat to Zhengzhou City to reorganize the army. According to the city, but Zhao Ming's escape has been shaken to morale, coupled with the chaos in the city at this time, the soldiers' fear of the Feng army, Zhao Su knew that staying was only in vain, and realized that Zhao Wei's defeat was inevitable, Zhao Su did not flee to Luoyang, but fled directly to Hubei. Feng's army is strong, and Henan has no place to stand. It's better to go to the wilderness early and go to Shanghai or Tianjin to make an apartment.

"Brother Zanyao, Director Cheng, come, come and sit." Qin Yu warmly invited Sun Liechen and Cheng Duolu to sit down, and said with a smile. "After staying in Beijing for so many days, I really want to think that the environment in Fengtian is much better than that in Beijing, and I have a headache when I see this big mess."
Sun Liechen smiled dumbly. Compared to Qin Yu, he is too old to fight for power, if it weren't for Qin Yu's invitation this time, he would not have the intention of going to Shandong to serve as an overseer.
"The marshal is in the earthquake pass, and now he is secretly controlling the central government and ordering the locality. The invincibility of the Northeast Army is a good opportunity to unify the Republic of China, what Duan Qirui, Sun Wen and others have always wanted to do but couldn't do, the marshal felt annoyed first. Cheng Duolu smiled brightly, he served as the chief financial officer in Jilin, recommended by Wang Yongjiang, the northeast shape shì is very good, but just a few provinces, the governors of the provinces are doing a very good job, Yicheng Duolu is one year older than Wang Yongjiang, and Tao Yi, Tian and Lin do not have much advantage, it is difficult to have further space in the Northeast, this time the south transfer, although it is to go to the relatively poor Henan, but Henan has the reputation of the Central Plains since ancient times, the land is vast and densely populated, and the development potential is also very large, Besides, Cheng Duolu is now in his fifties, and his body is properly maintained, so he naturally wants to go further in his career and show his strengths in the political position.
"Well, Liang Zhongjia has already taken Zhengzhou, and Luoyang will take it quickly, you go to Zhengzhou first to stabilize the situation. You are the overseer of the army in Henan for the time being, but don't meddle in military affairs, Liang Zhongjia will solve it. Henan is somewhat similar to Jilin before, opium is cultivated everywhere, and a grain-producing province is still suffering from disasters and famines every year, which is really ridiculous. You have been in Jilin longer than Governor Wang, and you should be more proficient in handling government affairs than me, so I won't say much about it here. Qin Yu said.
"Don't worry, as long as there is no martial arts to control the elbows, like Jilin, I have the confidence to manage Henan well." Cheng Duolu nodded and said, "But it's difficult for a good woman to be urged without rice, so you have to raise at least one million from the marshal first." ”
"Well, you make a report on the aftermath of Henan with the central government, and the central government will pay for this money, and Huaxing Bank and Fengtian Bank also have branches there.
Qin Yu turned to Sun Liechen again and said, "As for Brother Zanyao here, the situation in Shandong is a bit special, the Japanese have replaced Germany's interests in Shandong, and I am not very relieved to send ordinary people over, you are temporarily shouldering the burden over there, we have been working together for so many years, you also know my three-plate axe, this time I called you over, there is something, Cao Rui just went to Beijing on business, this time he served as the overseer of Anhui, before taking office, you invited Cao Rui, Wu Peifu, and several parliamentarians from Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Anhui to Shandong to have a look, How did the Northeast Army defeat Shandong, but also let them have a long eye, what is a modern war, some people always don't see the coffin and don't die, they have to beat it. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, Dashuai, it's just to show off your strength, and you can save your job." Sun Liechen nodded understandingly.
"In addition, although Tan Yanmin has some ability, he is not greedy for money. However, when you promote people, you are also a little inattentive, and when the time comes, you can mention him, if he does well in Shandong, the central government will also reuse him in the future. Qin Yu said again, both of them are old people from the Northeast, and they don't need to explain too much, it is much easier to talk to these old subordinates than others. (To be continued......)
