Chapter Seventy-One: A Bad Move, A Glorious End
The 80,000-strong army advanced wildly all the way, Zhang Zhizhong ran wildly all the way, and he didn't command the battle for a minute, and the troops scattered by Jiang Xianyun were at least more than three divisions.
At this time, Jiang Xianyun received a telegram from Pan Xingguang, "Quickly retreat eastward, you have fallen into the ring encirclement of Zhang Zhizhong, I will use my life to block the telegram from the most rearly exited for you," At this time, Jiang Xianyun realized how bad the situation was.
The Central Army, which had always been ineffective, suddenly became brave, and the reconnaissance plane kept hovering over Jiang Xianyun's head, and wherever Jiang Xianyun's troops were, the reconnaissance plane flew to.
And at this time, the 80,000 ** troops also began to show fatigue, and it was impossible to think of it at this time, Jiang Xianyun sighed, "In the end, General Zhang Zhizhong is still a chess player, and when he escapes, there is still a way for the team to form an encirclement of him, which is not ordinary." ”
"I estimate that this is not all Zhang Zhizhong's ability alone, there should be more troops put into the battlefield, and we should be ready for a bloody battle." Xiao Xiucai finished speaking bitterly, looked at the map in Jiang Xianyun's hand, and suddenly said with a light in his eyes, "Yes, we let Pan Xingguang continue to assault in the direction of Nanjing, while we make a false shot and return to Dabie Mountain." ”
Jiang Xianyun looked at the troops around him, the combat staff officer had just reported the number, and now there were more than 60,000 of the 80,000 people left, at this time, Jiang Xianyun was very sober and shook his head and said, "No, now our troops have no ability to kill back, the recruits in Dabie Mountain we have mastered are not veterans under Liu Yuan, if they go back, it will undoubtedly make them feel that our breakthrough has failed, at this time, I don't have time to mobilize them for war, so we must continue to break through, in this way, we will go to Hubei, Maybe there's a silver lining. ”
"There are too many lakes there, and it is much worse for the mobility of the troops, so we will go back to the Dabie Mountain, go north, climb over the Dabie Mountain, cross the Yellow River, enter Henan, and then continue north, Chen Yannian is there, he will help us." Xiao Xiucai pointed to the map and said.
Jiang Xianyun nodded and said, "That's okay, if we go back to Dabie Mountain, we can get supplies, but the people will be burned by war again." Jiang Xianyun was a little sad, letting the people in Dabie Mountain suffer from the flames of war, which was what he was most willing to see, and this was also the idea of breaking through at that time.
Zhang Zhizhong held the information in his hand, with a slight smile on his face, and said to the staff officers around him, "At this time, I still want to run, is it too late?" Command the artillery regiment, open fire. ”
With the issuance of Zhang Zhizhong's order, the shells fell on Jiang Xianyun's troops, the troops were on the move, there was no cover at all, and there were blocking the enemy in front and chasing soldiers in the rear, and the soldiers in Dabie Mountain could not lie on the ground at all, and could only march while being bombarded by shelling.
In this process, more than 20,000 soldiers under Jiang Xianyun disappeared at once, and at this time, there were only 30,000 people under Jiang Xianyun, and although there were losses on the opposite side, Jiang Xianyun was tightly surrounded at the foot of Dabie Mountain.
It is impossible to go up the mountain, there is no hope of breaking through, Jiang Xianyun can only order the soldiers to temporarily build a defensive position, which is not what the soldiers of Dabie Mountain are good at, although Xiao Xiucai understands a little, but he can only lead the soldiers to build the simplest fortifications.
At this time, Jiang Xianyun's order to temporarily build a defensive position happened to be in Zhang Zhizhong's arms, and the shells were poured into the position without dying.
Jiang Xianyun braved the shells to direct the battle, while the Central Army on the opposite side adopted the most primitive group charge, and Zhang Zhizhong's purpose was very simple, that is, to use the simplest way to consume Jiang Xianyun's soldiers.
Just when Jiang Xianyun was anxious, the branch of the Dabie Mountain Alliance sent a telegram, and they organized more than 100,000 Dabie Mountain militia to come to support him, asking him to continue to break through to the Dabie Mountain position.
Jiang Xianyun was overjoyed and risked death to lead the troops to break through, and at this time, a shell fell next to Jiang Xianyun, and Jiang Xianyun was shot.
Lying in a pool of blood, motionless, at this moment, Jiang Xianyun felt that life was really so fragile.
Xiao Xiucai rushed over from a distance, Jiang Xianyun was no longer breathing, and the blood all over his body was flowing out, and the hygienist did a simple bandage.
"The commander-in-chief is dead," Xiao Xiucai's voice resounded on the battlefield, at this moment she knew that at this time, he couldn't show it no matter what.
"Ge Lao Tzu, they killed the commander-in-chief, Lao Tzu is no longer alive, Lao Tzu wants to fight with them." One by one, the soldiers jumped out of the trenches, snapped, and a bullet hit him in the chest, and the soldier fell in pain.
But the death of this soldier was only the beginning, and more soldiers crawled out of their bunkers and advanced under enemy fire.
"Be honest with me," Xiao Xiucai shouted, "you all have to obey my commands." The commander-in-chief died in battle, and I am your supreme commander."
"No, we have to avenge the commander-in-chief, we don't have soldiers who are afraid of death in Dabie Mountain." A group of veterans had red eyes.
"It's okay to take revenge, but you have to at least live. Listen to me, and I will give you a chance to live. Xiao Xiucai took back the military helmet from the guard's hand and changed into the chief of staff uniform that he had never dared to wear on the battlefield, and the star was so dazzling.
"Chief of Staff, what do you want to do?" The other commanders of the command looked at Xiao Xiucai nervously, they all had a secret affection between Jiang Xianyun and the female staff officer in front of them, they were afraid that at this time, she would also faint, and then there would be no hope for this army.
"Correspondent, the telegram ordered Pan Xingguang to continue to break through, since we are under so much pressure here, then their hope of breaking through is very great, how can someone kill them." Xiao Xiucai stood alone in the middle of a group of big men, showing her true colors as a hero, without changing her mess at all, her composure and stability infected others.
"Yes." The correspondent immediately sent a telegram.
"Telegram ordered the Dabie Mountain militia to collect all the heavy firepower they could collect, temporarily cease fire, and obey orders."
"Yes."
"The third, fifth, and eighth divisions quickly reorganized the troops, gathered veterans, collected submachine guns, machine guns, and grenadiers, and formed a sharp corps."
"Yes." Several division commanders nodded and said.
"After a while, I went to negotiate with them, threatened to surrender to them, and surrendered to them, after I entered the other party's camp for a quarter of an hour, you took this opportunity to quickly rest, and then quickly broke through and returned to Dabie Mountain, now our troops are less, but you can bring them again, in the days to come, you will turn into dozens of squads, contact each other, support each other, but do not use the radio, Wushan has long operated the underground traffic station, you send a liaison to find the old turtledove, naturally know how to contact the road."
"No, Chief of Staff, brothers would rather die with you than survive." Hearing that Xiao Xiucai was going to exchange himself for the chance to live for the soldiers of Dabie Mountain, the soldiers were 10,000 unwilling to let a woman give them the right to live, and they would rather die than obey.
"Ahem! Cough! At this time, Jiang Xianyun woke up, but he was already extremely weak, he glanced at Xiao Xiucai apologetically, he didn't hear what Xiao Xiucai said at all, but when he saw everyone's reluctant eyes, he spit out a mouthful of blood and said, "Obey???? Obey the ???? Cause. After saying that, he fainted again.
"Hey!" Several division commanders slapped themselves a few times and said to the soldiers around them, "Still looking at what to do, don't prepare yet." ”
Xiaoxiu had just turned around, and several division commanders said, The party represents you slowly.
Xiao Xiucai looked back at them, "Remember to avenge Wushan and avenge me." "After that, I have to move on.
"Chief of Staff, you gave us this life, we kowtowed to you, you are a soldier of our Dabie Mountain, and a soldier of the Elite Alliance of Strong Countries, our soldiers can die in battle, but they cannot be captured, I hope you will commit suicide at that time, we don't want you to be insulted, after we avenge you, we will thank you with death."
A group of big men lay on the ground and howled bitterly, since the establishment of the Dabie Mountain Corps, there has been such a blow, it is a great shame to ask a woman to exchange their lives, from the division commander to the soldiers with tears in their eyes.
"Seeing your performance, I know that Wushan's persistence is right, he is too seriously injured to survive, remember to bury him on the hill where he likes to stay, don't let the enemy know about it, I'm gone, I love you." Xiaoxiu smiled like a flower, muttered, and then turned to leave.
"Chief of Staff, I will be your soldier in the next life." The correspondent shouted, kneeling.
"Ahh Yes! The Heavy angrily took the machine gun and fired it into the air, then lay on the ground and howled bitterly.
"Commander-in-chief, our artillery blew up Jiang Xianyun, and their chief of staff, Qin Xiangyue, asked to talk to us about surrendering." The communications staff officer said excitedly.
"We succeeded." There was excited applause from Zhang Zhizhong's headquarters.
"Commander-in-chief, we can't be easily fooled, Jiang Xianyun is scheming, will this be his suspicious plan." Yu Jishi stopped in front of Zhang Zhizhong and said.
"Bastard, Cao Mima, Yu Jishi, do you have a fucking conscience, how can the senior also be the elite of our Huangpu, the war is the master of each other, the brothers can't help it, now that the senior is dead, you are still fucking opposed, do you have a fucking conscience." Several regiment commanders scolded when they pointed at Yu Ji.
"Is this your attitude towards your superiors? Have you forgotten the dignity of a soldier? Yu Jishi said angrily with his eyes widened.
"Hmph, we don't know what a commander is, but we know that your military exploits were given to you by Jiang Xianyun, and now you are fucking at the forefront of encircling and suppressing Jiang Xianyun, and the brothers are not willing to play with their lives, can't you see it? If it weren't for your guard division's desperate refusal to let go, maybe the senior would have left. The principal didn't say that he wanted the senior to die. Some angry Whampoa took off their military uniforms and were about to fight with Yu Jishi.
"Beat him up, Whampoa scum." Several officers of the second and third phases of Huangpu couldn't help it, and the guards couldn't pull it anymore, because you must know that the training of the Huangpu soldiers was very strict, and the officers' bodies were very strong.
"Okay, give me silence, this is my headquarters, not a vegetable market, what kind of system." Zhang Zhizhong said solemnly, although he said so, but Zhang Zhizhong was very sad, he knew that Liu Yuan and himself were inseparable from now on, and he knew that he would not want to take the Huangpu soldiers well in the future. The Huangpu soldiers are very united, you must know that although Chiang Kai-shek is the principal, he has not dealt with the students who graduated from Huangpu, he has caught Chen Geng, and they have all been released, Huang Jie and Sun Yuanliang have disobeyed the battlefield and survived until now, which proves the strength of the Huangpu group, the relationship between the classmates is very iron, even if it is not a camp, they are not willing to do it.
"Ahh Yes! The sound shook the sky, drowning out the sound of gunfire.
"What a sound." Zhang Zhizhong asked suspiciously.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the cry of the soldiers on the opposite side, the sound is extremely tragic, and the soldiers on the opposite side are frantically resisting, our soldiers are difficult to advance half a step, and the losses are very large." Said a soldier from a reconnaissance company.
"It seems that Wushan has really gone, and immediately ordered a ceasefire for the troops, there is no need for the war to continue now, and I may need to meet their chief of staff. He's the one who saw through my schemes. Zhang Zhizhong gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
