The attack of the Youth Army was unexpectedly smooth, and in less than twenty minutes, more than a regiment of troops had crossed the Mihe River, and the first line of positions of the Anwu Army was occupied with great ease. But the good luck of the youth army ended here, at the moment when the defense line of the Anwu army was broken, ten miles away from the front-line position, Ni Min, the deputy commander of the Anwu army, sat up and said with a smile: "I knew that you would not be able to help but play the night attack, tell the next head, according to the original Jihua into the position, let's play a big game, I want to see if it is his horse Jizeng's rice bucket or this young army is copper-headed and iron-legged." Grandma's, these damn youth troops, it's really a waste of old people's An Wujun, when I play with girls, their grandchildren are still fucking in their stomachs......"

The Beiyang soldiers of the Anwu Army were woken up by the officers, and these veterans who had participated in the suppression of the Xinhai Revolution and the Second Revolution were immediately assembled, took up arms, and entered the preset positions one after another, and a big pocket was waiting for the youth army to rush in. And the forty mountain guns of the Anwu Army artillery, which had never fired to expose their positions, also faded their armor one after another, waiting for the front to start.

After Liu Xuyi successfully won the first-line position, he did not immediately order to continue the breakthrough, because he felt that establishing a foothold was far more reliable than defeating the Anwu army. Lin Hu, the commander of the other regiment, didn't think so, he felt that the opportunity should not be missed and not come again, so he took the two battalions of the 701st Regiment to bravely continue the attack forward, and took advantage of the night to stir up the position of the Anwu Army.

More than 1,600 brave soldiers of the Youth Army rushed out bravely, rushing more than 400 meters in one go. At this time, a lot of fires suddenly appeared in front of me, and no matter how you look at it, you don't want it to be ignited by artillery bombardment.

Lin Hu immediately felt cheating, and hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, but in such a dark night, all he could command was hundreds of people around him. Many of the unknown brothers bravely continued to rush forward, and all around, the soldiers of the Anwu Army had already pulled the bolts of their guns and loaded their bullets.

When the first vicious bullet came out of the chamber of the Beiyang soldier and pierced the chest of one of the youth soldiers, the youth soldiers continued to rush forward, unaware that death was already approaching them.

"Dudu......" More than 30 heavy machine guns unceremoniously struck the charging youth army from three sides. More than 50 officers and men in the first platoon of the assault company of the 701st Regiment were shot madly in less than a minute, and these young people with patriotic hearts were ruthlessly swept to the ground before they could even make a counterattack.

Later, more soldiers of the Youth Army were shot and fell to the ground, and Lin Hu, who was dragging behind, felt a tightness in his chest, and he actually caught the road, almost vomiting blood. However, he quickly realized that although it was dark now, judging from the intensity of the fire on the opposite side, this was obviously an ambush, could it be that the night attack on his side had been detected by the enemy.

However, at this time, the effect of long-term strict training was reflected at this time, after about 100 young soldiers were defeated by the enemy's frantic strafing, the follow-up young officers and soldiers all chose to lie down and shoot at the Beiyang Army.

Shooting training at night was carried out, and all the flickering fires signaled the presence of the enemy. At this time, the characteristics of the young army's marksmanship were very distinct, and every gunshot meant that this Beiyang soldier was shot to the ground.

In this way, the Beiyang soldiers stopped doing it, and no one wanted to fight with such a powerful opponent, and the firepower suppression in the three directions was suddenly reduced by more than half. But before Lin Hu was happy, An Wujun had already calibrated the forty mountain cannons that shot at Zhu Yuan and fired unceremoniously. One by one, the young officers and soldiers flew up for a long time with the exploding shells, and then fell heavily, and the whole person was blown to pieces.

No amount of rigorous training could eliminate the soldiers' fear of the power of the cannons, and all the soldiers chose to find shelter or escape from the area as soon as possible, which was terrifying.

A total of more than 800 young officers and soldiers rushed into the ambush area of the Anwu army, and in less than 10 minutes, more than 500 people were killed and wounded, and only more than 200 escaped.

At this time, the Anwu army began to counterattack, and groups of Anwu soldiers pressed down on the youth army with their bayonet rifles. Bai Chongxi, who was still on the other side of the river, immediately secretly screamed: "Liao Lei, this time we have encountered a nail that pierces our hands, look at this firepower, our opponent is a ** lake, I have long known that we are going to play night assault, this time we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss." ”

Liao Lei put down the telescope in his hand at this time and said, "Brother Jiansheng, what do you say?" Shall we withdraw our troops now? ”

Bai Chongxi didn't answer directly, and after a long time of muttering, he suddenly asked, "How many of us have passed?" ”

When the staff officer beside him heard this, he immediately said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, at present, the first, second, and third battalions of the 401st Regiment have crossed the river, the first battalion and the second battalion of the 701st Regiment have crossed the river, and the third battalion is crossing the river." ”

Bai Chongxi walked to the map again, and after taking a look, he suddenly slapped the table very flexibly and said loudly: "Pass my military order, tell Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu, the honor of our youth army is on them, I order them, they are never allowed to take half a step back, no matter what method is used, they must hold on until dawn." At the same time, the artillery was ordered to immediately organize the position to move forward, and we were going to play a big one. ”

Liao Lei didn't seem to understand what was going on, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Jiansheng, what's the situation?" ”

Bai Jiansheng said with a solemn face: "We have fallen on the road of the Anwu army on the other side, the other party is obviously waiting for us to rush over without knowing whether we are alive or dead, and then hit us by surprise, if I guess correctly, we will receive a report from the front, saying that we have suffered a big loss." The Anwu army will definitely continue to attack until they drive us back to where we are, which will be a great blow to our morale. ”

Liao Lei still didn't seem to understand: "Then what does this have to do with Brother Jiansheng, you want Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu to defend their positions?" ”

Bai Chongxi gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, I, Bai Chongxi, have never been designed, this time this matter is not over, you dare to pit me, this is not the rhythm of death." Okay, aren't you trying to trick me? I'll let you An Wujun come to the pit, I'm a hard bone in front of you now, if you have the ability, you can gnaw it on me, and if you don't jump off a few of your front teeth, you will be ruthless. ”

Liao Lei is basically a little clear now, and Bai Chongxi's feelings are going to play a war of attrition. Didn't your Anwu Army plan to drive the Youth Army back? Bai Chongxi didn't retreat, he stuck on the position and didn't move, and you gnawed to death.

It is estimated that if An Wujun does not pay some price, this bone will not be gnawed. However, in this way, the pressure on the 401st and 701st regiments to carry out this hard-core mission will be greater, and it is not impossible to make sure that the losses are heavy or light, and the total annihilation of the army is not impossible.

Liao Lei unconsciously snorted when he thought of this, and then suddenly felt that the big brother Bai Chongxi in front of him had become very unfamiliar. Is this still the same good and friendly brother as before? Weishenme has become a ruthless person after only a few years of hard work. You must know that Liao Lei is also a ruthless person, but in his heart, all the officers and soldiers are still living people. In the eyes of Big Brother Bai, it seems that these officers and soldiers are just tools and just numbers. The value of their existence seems to be to achieve the goal for Big Brother Bai, Liao Lei felt a little uncomfortable, although he had also done things to send soldiers to death, but he had never been so desperate, at least he would be sad afterwards. And Big Brother Bai doesn't seem to care about this, all he wants is the result, the result of victory.

After the herald went out, Liao Lei glanced at Bai Chongxi again, and thought, is this the change in people's mentality after their status has risen?

After Liu Xuyi received the order to stay put, his brows furrowed unconsciously, but he decided to carry it out.

However, Liu Xuyi did not forget to explain to the adjutant: "Hurry up, drag the wounded soldiers down for me, and hurry up the treatment, it is not easy for the brothers!" ”

"Hurry, hurry, medics, medics, wounded, wounded" Although the 701st Regiment was beaten by the Anwu Army with heavy casualties and scattered pieces, even in this case, the officers and soldiers did not forget to drag the wounded brothers down, as for the people who died in battle, then I am sorry, according to the provisions of the military order, it can be ignored. At this moment, everyone is nervously calling for medical personnel.

But then there was a problem, the wounded soldiers were pulled to the river but were not allowed to cross the pontoon bridge.

"Who are you, Weishenme won't allow us to cross the bridge?" Liu Xuyi's adjutant asked loudly, half of the more than 40 wounded needed immediate surgery, but there was a team that did not allow stretchers to cross the pontoon bridge.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are the law enforcement team of the division headquarters, and according to the order of the Left Route Army Command, these three pontoon bridges have all been changed to one-way use, and the officers and men of our army are only allowed to advance, not retreat," an officer with a red armband with the word law enforcement proudly replied.

Liu Xuyi's adjutant was furious: "But if these wounded brothers are not sent to the division field hospital in time for treatment, they will die." ”

The officer of the law enforcement team said with great disdain: "This is not something I want to consider, the order I received is to guard the order of the three pontoon bridges, one-way traffic is one-way traffic, go away, don't get in the way, otherwise military law will be involved." ”

Wang Kewen, the commander of the first battalion, happened to bring people over to move supplies, and just now the 401st Regiment repelled the Anwu Army that was pursuing the 701st Regiment. As a result, he saw this scene, and came up angry: "You are still not members of the Young Army, how can you be so indifferent to your brothers. ”

The matter immediately became a big problem, and the law enforcement officer said with a cold face: "If you dare to obstruct military affairs again, we will arrest you, and I advise you, our law enforcement team of the Seventh Division currently only belongs to the headquarters of the Left Route Army." ”

Wang Kewen is also a fierce man, and he doesn't like this at all: "Who do I care who you are?" Get this pontoon out and wait for the next fight, there will be a lot of wounded people coming down, and you must leave a passage. ”

The law enforcement officer may have encountered this situation for the first time, and he was also angry, he raised his hand, and the eight soldiers under his command who were responsible for maintaining order immediately raised their rifles and aimed them at Wang Kewen and the others, and the officer said arrogantly: "You can try it." ”
