Chapter Twenty-Six: Breaking Out of the Encirclement
"Commander? How did you get here? Xue Yue's face was full of traces of war smoke, holding an old-fashioned Soviet rifle in his hand, and he looked at Liu Yuan with a look of disbelieving.
Except for the first division and the third division, Liu Yuan was called the army commander, because Liu Yuan's position was the deputy commander of the First Army, and Liu Yuan had also trained them, so in the minds of many soldiers in the first division, Liu Yuan's status was second only to He Yingqin. And there are not many people that Xue Yue admires in his life, and Liu Yuan is one, so he respects Liu Yuan very much.
Most people have the idea that sooner or later the Third Division will become independent from the First Army and become an independent army, so the soldiers of the Third Division are generally used to call Liu Yuan the division commander, not the army commander.
Liu Yuan waved his hand, signaling not to talk about these useless things, but asked, "What about your division commander?" What's going on? ”
Liu Yuan asked, Xue Yue's face was red to the root of his ears, the expression on his face was very rich, and he said helplessly, "Division Commander, when I went to have fun in the small class, Hua Liu was sick and was carried there, and he couldn't command the battle at all, and he was carried by the guards and fled." ”
Listening to Xue Yue's words, Liu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that this guy Wang Boling was so uncompromising, he should have caught him in the brothel last time, this is really a waste.
"What about Cheng Qian? Cheng Qian ran away. Liu Yuan didn't quite believe the soldier's words, and he thought that Cheng Qian was probably still somewhere.
"Commander Cheng, the 19th Division was annihilated by the enemy, suffered heavy losses, was disheartened, and went out of the city in peasant clothes, I originally planned to take the brothers of the 1st Division to hold on, but Sun Yuanliang actually escaped on the battlefield." Xue Yue scolded, but he didn't know if Lu Dao was scolding Sun Yuanliang for being shameless, or he sold himself.
"Grass, what about Liao Bin? He won't also run away, he's a party representative. Du Yuming stood up and looked at Xue Yue, this is a man, he still sticks to it in this situation, this is the spirit that only Whampoa soldiers have.
Xue Yue nodded, "I also escaped." ”
Liu Yuan thought for a while and said, "They escaped from the battle, and it has little to do with us, because there is military law waiting for them, what we are thinking about now is how to withdraw from Nanchang City, after all, we are now surrounded by the enemy." ”
"Otherwise, let's go to the South Zone, where the defense is weak." Du Yuming proposed.
Liu Yuan immediately refused, "The south is a residential area, and it is really unwise to let the flames of war burn on the heads of the people, but I have a way, you see, just now I asked my scouts to reconnoitre, and the enemy's headquarters is located in the Chenghuang Temple in the eastern district, we will walk along Shunmin Street, and then break through the enemy's defensive line, go straight to their headquarters, give them a hard time, let the enemy rush back to support, and then return to the western district, withdraw from the western district." ”
"It's good, but it's already three watches, if we wait until dawn, we will be buried in Nanchang City." Xue Yue nodded and agreed with Liu Yuan's battle plan.
"Trust me, we can. Now that the enemy knows our position, it is no longer possible to fish in troubled waters, so we will now concentrate our forces and directly attack the opposite headquarters, if we take their headquarters, they will definitely lose. Liu Yuan's confident emotions infected everyone present.
"Fuck it, our third division really hasn't climbed anyone!" Guan Linzheng waved the gun in his hand and began to assemble his troops.
Wang Yuanyi is now very confident, because he has mobilized more than 40,000 people to complete the encirclement of the enemy army in the western district, and no matter who they are, they will die in front of him at that time.
At this time, the gunfire in the western area suddenly stopped, Wang Yuanyi frowned, and said to the staff officers beside him, "Tell the soldiers on the front line that the enemy is going to break through the encirclement, let them be refreshed, and when the day dawns, the opposite side will die." Wang Yuanyi gritted his teeth and hated this team that suddenly appeared.
After a quarter of an hour, the gunfire rang out again, and the sound was getting closer and closer, when an officer covered in blood ran in, "Commander-in-chief, retreat quickly, the enemy is too fierce for us to hold on." ”
"Fart, my 40,000 army surrounded them in Nanchang, even if they can't fly, how can they not stand it." Wang Yuanyi went up and gave the officer a kick, which was too unlucky.
"Commander-in-chief, it's not like this, they are surrounded by us, but they are coming at our headquarters, and they are about to break the net with us, the brothers have already sacrificed more than 2,000 people, and the opposite side is too fierce to withstand it." The officer said as he covered his kicked brother and gasped.
At this time, Wang Yuanyi remembered to be afraid, "What, they are coming towards the headquarters, aren't there more than 3,000 people in front of our headquarters?" Can't you stand up to them? Wang Yuanyi couldn't believe his ears.
"Commander-in-chief, we have 3,000 people, and they also have 3,000 people, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to ours at all, just after the fight, a few flares flew up in the sky, and then there was a round of mortars, and before Brigade Commander Liu could speak, the artillery was killed." The officer said sadly.
"What, you said that Lao Liu died, thinking of this Wang Yuanyi is trembling, although he is the commander-in-chief and has a high position, but the more such a person, the more afraid of death, he knows that as long as the opposite side breaks through the defense line and rushes to himself, the probability of his death is very high, hurry up and drop the soldiers in other districts to increase us. Hurry, hurry. Wang Yuanyi scolded the staff officers beside him loudly.
"Commander-in-chief, what if this is the enemy's plan? When the time comes, won't they let them run? The staff officer spoke his mind.
Seeing that someone refuted him, Wang Yuanyi was not annoyed, but said, "You think I don't know what to do, but their trick is called breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, if we don't reinforce, we ourselves are likely to let them be wiped out, and then the entire legion may collapse, go and let them reinforce it, even if they run away temporarily, it's okay, I immediately telegraphed to the marshal and asked him to reinforce, I don't believe it, they can fly out of our net." ”
On the battlefield.
Liu Yuan took out a machine gunner on the opposite side with one shot, and looked at Guan Linzheng with disdain. "You are also fighting bayonets, look at me, every shot is a hundred shots."
Guan Linzheng was not angry, "I'm not a general, I'm not a sniper, how can my requirements be so high, but boss, I found that the firepower on the other side is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that I can't fight it, and I am eager to kill Wang Yuanyi now." ”
"What's the hurry, if there is a chance in the future, everyone will retreat with me according to the original plan, leave them some souvenirs before leaving, and make all the grenades into thunder for me."
The remnants of the third division and the first division retreated, leaving an empty position, as if it had never appeared, Wang Yuanyi had a trace of fatigue and fear in his eyes, and said to the staff officer beside him, "The commander on the opposite side is very decisive, it seems that this battle is not easy to fight, and I ordered the soldiers to continue the pursuit, but be careful, be careful of the enemy ambush." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of fire on the position of the third division just now, and a platoon of soldiers went up to the sky for no reason.
