Chapter 22: The Twilight of Heroes
Liu Yuan sometimes felt really helpless when he thought about it, since Chiang Kai-shek asked the third division to withdraw from the main force, it should be filled by other troops, but it turned out that this was not the case, their group of people still stayed in Changsha, and the battle of He Shengqiao had begun.
Since there was no war in the third division, Cao Yuan was transferred, and his new combat unit was the Independent Regiment, which became a battalion commander under Ye Ting, which was from heaven to earth, but Cao Yuan wanted to lead the troops in person, Liu Yuan kept it again and again, but did not keep this stubborn man, and when he left, Liu Yuan repeatedly emphasized that he must be careful, but he never thought that this time the separation turned out to be a farewell.
The last time Tingsi Bridge missed, it hit Wu Peifu very hard, Wu Peifu as the first Chinese to appear in Time Magazine, his life, there was such a blow.
Therefore, regardless of the dissuasion of others, he personally came to Heshengqiao to arrange troops, mobilized the 13th mixed brigade of his cronies, the remnants of Chen Jiamo's troops, Liu Yuchun's 8th Division, and some other troops, a total of 100,000 people, to fight to the death with the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Wu Peifu is a local Chinese general, understands yin and yang, knows gossip, Qimen Dunjia is all connected, and even this battle used the number of six dings and six jia, and established three lines of defense in Taolinpu, Yindoushan, and Heshengqiao, and pressed the defense line with heavy troops, and went toe-for-tat with the Northern Expeditionary Army.
However, although Wu Dashuai has been fighting horses all his life, there are times when he makes mistakes, according to the old people, Wu Dashuai set up the formation this time and traveled to the north, which is a taboo for soldiers, and he should lose his troops and generals.
In fact, the big marshal also knows the way, but now that the matter has come to the point, the big marshal has no way out, and the big marshal has a good face, so he can't pull his face to Sun Chuanfang for help, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to fight to the death with the revolutionary army.
He believes in heaven, but he does not believe in fate, he firmly believes that he has survived so many years, and the final victory will definitely belong to him.
At this time, the independent regiment that had been suppressed finally stepped onto the stage of history, and it would bloom on the historical stage of the Republic of China with incomparably brilliant brilliance.
The third division was not there, and the most capable unit was the independent regiment, so the task of the main attack fell on the independent regiment, and on August 29, the first stop was Xianning, and it won a big victory.
On the 30th, the general assault on the Hesheng Bridge began.
Ye Ting personally commanded the battle on the front line, adopted the tactics of breaking through the center, and directly launched a strong attack on Hesheng Bridge.
At this time, the fog began, and it became heavier and heavier. I can't even tell the difference between the enemy and me, and in this case, the second battalion commander Xu Ji is brave and brave.
This guy is also a tiger general in Whampoa, and he runs along the railway all the way to the right, hoping that the troops can be concentrated and at the same time can fight the enemy.
Assault until Huangjiayao, Xu Jishen was depressed to find that he rushed too fast, and actually reached the enemy's hinterland, he took out the map and looked at it, his eyes lit up, this place is very close to Yin Dou Mountain, as long as he takes Yin Dou Mountain, this battle will be determined.
It turned out that there were not only artillery positions on Yindou Mountain, but also Wu Peifu's former enemy command post was here, and at the same time, there was a cliff in the west of Yindou Mountain, and the enemy did not even have a direction to escape.
However, Xu Jishen thought well, the enemy did not give a chance, Wu Peifu had a tiger general under his command, named Liu Yuchun, who had never been defeated, and today there was a lone army rampaging in his own position, as if entering a no-man's land, he was angry for a while, and immediately led the Eighth Division to surround Xu Jishen tightly.
The machine gun hit Xu Jishen's position as if he didn't want money, and a bullet passed under Xu Jishen's ribs, and Xu Jishen immediately fell to the ground.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander." Several soldiers tightly surrounded Xu Jishen, hurriedly bandaged Xu Jishen, put Xu Jishen on a stretcher, and Xu Jishen commanded the battle on the stretcher.
"Battalion commander, let's withdraw, the entire division of the Eighth Division has surrounded us here, and if we don't break through, we will be finished." Xu Jishen's subordinates said anxiously to Xu Jishen.
Although Xu Jishen was seriously injured, he was still very conscious, lying on a stretcher, panting and saying, "Retreat, retreat we are all done, the soldiers are happy to make mistakes, we can only turn the tables now if we take Yindoushan." ”
"But battalion commander, now that you are in this situation, how can you command the battle?" The soldier said anxiously.
"Boy, you are too underestimating our independent regiment, waiting, I don't believe that Cao Yuan can't understand the form, he is the chief of staff from the third division, what is the place of the third division, I told Lao Tzu that this level is there, at most he will be a deputy regiment commander, it will not take half an hour, Cao Yuan will definitely be able to support us."
Although Xu Jishen was a bit of a tiger, he was right, Ye Ting was directing the battle in the rear, and when he saw Xu Jishen moving frantically towards Yin Dou Mountain, he had to sigh.
"Xu Jishen, this guy really has something, we are completely letting him lead the command of the battle, which of you is willing to go to support him."
"The subordinates are willing to go." It was Zhou Shidi who spoke, and he also graduated from Huangpu, and he had participated for so long, and he didn't show anything, Ye Ting asked a little suspiciously, "Are you okay?" ”
"Although I, Zhou Shidi, am not a great talent, but I am not a person who speaks big words, if I can't take Yin Doushan, I am willing to be dealt with by military law." Zhou Shidi insisted.
"Okay, you see, this guy Cao Yuan is also moving towards Yin Dou Mountain, and he must have also seen Xu Jishen's strategic intentions, your purpose is to unite with them and defeat Yin Dou Mountain." Ye Ting nodded and said.
"I'll go." Zhou Shidi was about to set off with people.
"Come back, when you meet Cao Yuan and Xu Jishen, tell them that if you can't get Yin Doushan, you should hand over your party card."
Cao Yuan stayed in the Third Division for a long time, he fully understood the importance of the firepower of the Dao, and all the machine guns in the whole battalion let him concentrate and rushed through the defense of the Eighth Division.
At this time, Zhou Shidi finally arrived, and the three battalion commanders led all the people of the quite independent regiment to launch a strong attack on Yindou Mountain.
Chen Jiamo is also in Yin Dou Mountain, the last defeat of Ting Si Bridge, he vaguely remembers, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for the enemy to defeat him again, obviously so many people defended, why can they break through the defense line, how did they hit Yin Dou Mountain.
His subordinates persuaded Chen Jiamo to retreat, but Chen Jiamo actually cried bitterly on the ground, and was dragged away by the soldiers after the last moment.
Liu Yuchun was beaten by 3,000 people very embarrassed, covered in blood, and when he saw Wu Peifu, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Dashuai, don't cut it, if you want to kill you, kill me, my people can't keep an eye on it, don't kill it." ”
It turned out that Wu Peifu saw the soldiers retreating, and immediately became angry, personally took a big knife, chopped off the heads of more than a dozen people and hung them on the wires, but the defeat was like a mountain, even if he was Sun Wu, he couldn't save the defeat, He Shengqiao, he Wu Peifu lost.
At this time, the independent regiment rushed to Yindoushan, cut off Wu Peifu's military flag, and the real total began, without any tactics, without any cooperation, it was an endless charge, and soon all of Wu Peifu's positions were occupied.
As Wu Peifu himself said, in the past, Tingsi Bridge set two lakes at one station, and today Tingsi Bridge set the world with one station, and the world has nothing to do with Wu Peifu from now on.
Wu Peifu suddenly felt that he was really old, and he felt that the Kuomintang might really be able to take over the world, because they had the best young people in China.
