Section 7: Li Chun's Advance and Suppression Six

After the end of the Battle of the Mountain Road, Long Qian was worried about the situation in Akimura. Through the surprise interrogation of the prisoners, the strength of the officers and troops has been thoroughly figured out, and no less than six hundred enemies have entered Qiucun. He was very worried about whether the second battalion would be able to entangle the enemy, and if the enemy of Qiucun broke through to the east, he would soon encounter him, and if he broke through to Zhengjiazhuang, which was actually an empty city, it would be even worse. Moreover, the ambush battle on this side did not completely annihilate the enemy, and it has been ascertained that one of the officers and soldiers fled towards Qiu Village. Fortunately, Lu Shan and Shi Dashou had already brought four battalions to chase down. It is best to annihilate the fleeing enemy before they rendezvous with the enemy of Akimura, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

It's still one word: chaos!

He analyzed the situation alone and called Zhou Yi, "That's the situation here." I leave a battalion to you, and take care of the prisoners, and do not move until now. Lu Shan took the fourth battalion to chase down to Qiu Village, and I took the third battalion and Chi Chunxian to go over. Fight for the annihilation of the land of Autumn Village. ”

Zhou Yi wanted to fight, but Long Qian stopped him, "Don't fight, I'll go." ”

Gathering three battalions and a cavalry company, Long Qian ordered to run to reinforce Akimura. The cavalry got on their horses again, but the mountain roads were rugged and not much faster than the infantry.

When he entered Qiu Village, Long Qian saw the two wounded who stayed in Qiu Village, as well as Sun Juan and other female soldiers, only to find that the situation was not at all what he thought, and the second battalion and the enemy of Qiu Village were "missing" and disappeared.

Sun Juan was crying.

"Don't cry! Are you sure that Lushan's troops are chasing the enemy towards Zhengjiazhuang? Long Qian stopped Sun Juan with a rough drink.

Sun Juan cried even more fiercely, "Xiumei is dead, she was killed by them__" The two wounded soldiers were just sure that the fourth battalion went towards Zhengjiazhuang, and they must have seen the big man Lu Shan.

At this time, a member of the Intelligence Section came running and finally clarified the situation.

"Are you saying that the enemy in Xianqiu Village is not heading towards Zhengjiazhuang, but towards the south?"

The people in the intelligence department are sure to say that it is so, there is no problem.

"Okay, stay in one class in the seventh company, and the rest will chase south with me." Long Qian did not hesitate.

In this case, the commander's decision is required, and the officers of the three battalions below Feng Lun all believe that Zhengjiazhuang is the most dangerous, and there is an old battalion there, and there is no room for mistakes. But Long Qian immediately believed the words of the person in the Intelligence Bureau.

Without him, it is not only trust in Wang Mingyuan, but also intuition.

Running out of seven or eight miles in the dark, Long Qian had already heard the sound of gunshots like popping beans in front of him. Sure enough, the second battalion chased all the way here.

The 2nd Battalion is resisting the attack of the officers and troops. After dawn, the situation was unfavorable for the second battalion, because the second battalion was blocking the way for Cai Chengxun to return to help, and the first company of the officers and soldiers launched two fierce attacks, although they repulsed the enemy, but the second battalion, which was absolutely inferior in strength, suffered great casualties. Cai Chengxun's first battalion is worthy of being the elite of the new army, and the guns are very accurate, and the recruits of the second battalion suffered a great loss in the shooting, which is still because the opponent's bullets are limited, otherwise it is even worse.

Judging that the opponent's strength was weak, the officers and soldiers began to plan to outflank from both flanks, Wang Mingyuan had to divide his troops to deal with it, the increasing casualties of the second battalion began to shake the will of the recruits, and the deserters also appeared, and Cheng Erhu, who was in charge of the left flank, used a bayonet to pick a deserter to death, so as not to lead to the collapse of the fifth company.

"What should I do?" Fan Deping, the commander of the fourth company, asked Wang Mingyuan.

"The commander will come with reinforcements! It must not be withdrawn now. Bite the dog! Wang Mingyuan was shot in the left shoulder, and the bandaging of the communication soldier was not effective, and the blood kept flowing, and half of his body was bloody, which was very terrifying.

"It's as if this guy has changed as a person." Fan Deping poked his head out from behind a large tree, and the third attack of the officers and troops began, and this time there were 300 people rushing up, gray and screaming. Fan Deping knows that this is the most critical juncture, and it is not allowed to withdraw at all, and if it is withdrawn, it will be a certain death, and the battalion commander's decision is right!

"Brethren!" Due to excessive blood loss, Wang Mingyuan's consciousness began to blur, and he shouted vigorously, "The commander will arrive soon with reinforcements, resist this time, and we will win!" Whoever dares to run, Lao Tzu slaughtered him! He put down his gun in a dejected manner and said to Zhang Ziyu, a communications soldier who was shooting desperately, "Don't let me be a prisoner, understand?" ”

"Battalion commander, I'll carry you down." Zhang Ziyu, whose face was covered with sweat, said.

"Nonsense! Let's fight. Wang Mingyuan shouted, and with his right hand laboriously withdrew the bayonet from the muzzle of the gun and squeezed it in his hand.

Sure enough, this attack by the officers and soldiers finally tore through the defense line of the second battalion, and the officers and soldiers broke through the position from the junction of the fourth and fifth companies, and hundreds of men scuffled together, and the sound of bayonets piercing into the flesh and screams continued to sound.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander," Zhang Ziyu, who was tightly guarding Wang Mingyuan, saw his reinforcements, "Our people are here!" His voice was very high-pitched.

Long Qian saw the extremely tragic situation in front of him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to his communication soldier, Li San handed over his Oriental war sword. He had forgotten Zhou Yi and Ning Shijun's repeated instructions to him not to allow the commander to participate in hand-to-hand combat, and followed Long Qian into the battle group.

The second battalion, which was already in a state of collapse, saw their commander, "Commander Long is here, Commander Long is here." There were deafening cheers from the battlefield, and courage returned to them, especially those veterans of Mengshan training.

As soon as Long Qian, who was tall and tall, joined the battle group, he became the target of great attention of the soldiers of the new army, who had already gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and four or five new troops immediately surrounded him with bayonets. Bi Zilong, deputy commander of the third battalion and commander of the eighth company, was very anxious when he saw this scene, and hurriedly led the soldiers to rush up to protect Long Qian into the circle, "Commander, you didn't do this job!" Go down! He ordered Li Sancai and two soldiers to drag Long Qian out of the battle group.

However, Long Qian's appearance was the greatest encouragement to the second battalion, and the morale was suddenly reversed, and the officers and troops who had already gained the upper hand began to suffer the heaviest casualties since the start of the war. The fierce hand-to-hand combat lasted for another half a pillar of incense, and the officers and soldiers began to retreat__ As the officers and platoon commanders retreated, the soldiers struggled to get rid of the Mengshan army in front of them and ran towards their positions. The new troops, who did not have time to withdraw, either surrendered on their knees with their guns thrown at them, or were stabbed to death with bayonets by their opponents.

Cai Chengxun, who was observing the battlefield with a telescope behind the position, couldn't stop drinking, and saw the tide of defeat and retreat of his troops, so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, and scolded his mother in his mouth. He estimated that he lost at least fifty officers and soldiers in this charge plus hand-to-hand combat! I know very well that with the arrival of bandit reinforcements, there is no hope of turning the tables in this battle! The troops ran out of ammunition, and even retreat became a problem.

I didn't expect this bandit to be so tenacious! Since the formation of the army, Cai Chengxun has not experienced such a fierce battle, the opponent is only 200 people at most, and he actually blocked his two fierce attacks, the opponent is accurate in attacking, and the defense is also very clever, and a defensive line is arranged in a very short time. The third time they concentrated almost all their forces and finally broke through the enemy's position, but this gang of bandits dared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the official army!

When did bandits become so powerful?

"Officer Cai Ying, withdraw, Officer Shen is dead in battle, and the enemy's reinforcements are coming up__" Officer Shao ran over panting, his military hat was lost, and his braids were scattered, "The enemy is so fierce, there are hundreds of people__"

"See, I'll take a team and a platoon to leave the break, all the bullets will be left in a row, and you take the rest of the brothers to withdraw!" The wounds are all left, and they can't be brought! ”

"I'll break it off__"

"Execute the order! Take advantage of the enemy's lack of time to attack, retreat! Cai Chengxun's eyes turned red, "Go back and report to Master Li, don't despise this bandit, you should bother more about my future." Just go! ”

Two of the three team officers were killed, and the first battalion lost the junior! Coupled with the losses of the second battalion and the artillery team, even if he went back, even if Li Chun spared himself for the sake of his robes for many years, Lord Yuan, who was strict in governing the army, would not spare himself, and he couldn't imagine that he was planted here__

Long Qian really didn't have time to attack, the second battalion suffered more than half of the casualties, and the third battalion also suffered heavy losses, hand-to-hand combat was the most ferocious, and the casualties were almost one-on-one. By the time Long Qian had put his troops in order, Cai Chengxun had already taken more than twenty veterans to occupy a high ground and cover his battalion of main forces to withdraw from the battlefield!

"Commander, it seems that the enemy has withdrawn__" Feng Lun was hit on his right arm, wrapped a white cloth indiscriminately, and blood oozed out.

"Hmm," Long Qian leaned on the dirt slope, holding a telescope to observe.

"I'll take the three battalions and rush over."

"No, the enemy has left the broken rear troops, this enemy is very powerful, this piece of open space will damage at least ten of us__ It doesn't matter if you are injured?" Long Qian didn't want to lose any more manpower, and the heavy casualties of the troops bit his heart and made him hesitate.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't seem to hurt the bones__"

"Commander, Commander, Lu Shan is here." Chi Chun ran over first.

"Great. Ordered Lu Shan to take his men in a detour to the past and try to intercept the enemy. We suppressed the enemy with firepower and covered Lushan. ”

"Got it!" Feng Lun turned around and went.

Lu Shan came after the end of the pursuit and annihilation battle, he inquired about the situation, and learned that Long Qian led the three battalions to the south to reinforce the past, regardless of fatigue, the uninjured officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion and the guard platoon left in Zhengjiazhuang brought over, did not have time to see Long Qian's face, after receiving the order, he immediately led the four battalions to outflank the enemy in two ways.

Lu Shan did not intercept the evacuated officer and army brigade, and seeing that the bandits had come again and outflanked them on both flanks, Cai Chengxun, who was determined to die in a desperate battle, was in a row to block it with firepower. The officers and troops left behind after the break exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness, and Lu Shan surrounded them from behind, but still refused to surrender and insisted on resisting.

"Shout, shoot and don't kill!" Long Qian inspected Wang Mingyuan's injuries just now, and ordered Wang Mingyuan, who was already unconscious, to be sent back, "Don't charge!" Don't shoot guns! Surround him! Go and drag the cannon through a door and bring the shells. If you don't surrender, let him taste his own cannon. Long Qian ordered Bi Zilong.

The high ground occupied by Cai Chengxun is the highest in the vicinity, and the entire battlefield can be seen clearly, and the bandits' shouts to persuade them to surrender can be heard very clearly, it is impossible to break through, and the soldiers under his command have already run out of bullets, and even the intact bayonets are less than ten. The sun was about to rise overhead, and when Cai Chengxun saw the bandits pulling two cannons over, he knew that his last moment had come.

He shouted to the platoon leader, "The brothers have done their best. Surrender with the rest of you. Do not damage the guns, lest they kill the prisoners. "The platoon leader had already smashed his rifle on the rocks.

"Cai Yingguan, if we kill so many of them, where will they spare us?" A long row of red eyes said.

"This group of bandits is not ordinary. Didn't you see them dragging the cannon over? Surrender. Perhaps it can give the brothers a way to live. Sorry everyone! As he spoke, he felt out the revolver and prepared to kill himself. But the gun was snatched by another soldier's hand.

"To die together. To live together. The platoon leader stood up, not afraid to shoot a bullet to kill him, "Don't fire!" We surrender! ”

Li Chun's first attack came to an end. In this battle, a total of 874 new troops and patrol battalions were annihilated, of which 590 were captured by the enemy, and a large number of weapons and baggage were captured. The victorious Mengshan Army also paid a heavy price, with a total of 104 killed and more than 150 wounded, including two battalion commanders. In particular, Wang Mingyuan's second battalion was basically disabled.
