Chapter 143: Bangou Ambush (2)

Later historians have a great deal of controversy about the positioning of the Guangxi War, and some brick writers believe that the Guangxi War is part of the Second Revolution, after all, Wang Zhenyu started the war in the name of seeking Yuan and not in other names; Other bricks believe that the Guangxi War does not belong to the Second Revolution, because the Second Revolution in the true sense of the word has been declared over from the moment the army of Yunnan Governor Cai Ye entered Chongqing on September 12, and the Guangxi War is just a warlord melee war, which has nothing to do with the so-called revolution for half a dime......

However, there is one thing that everyone does not dispute, that is, the Bangou ambush battle marks the beginning of the era of warlord melee in the Republic of China......

At the headquarters of the Third Division of the Pioneer Ridge Xiangxi Tigers Army, which was less than 1,000 meters away from the front line, various staff officers were busy passing various orders and reports back and forth, and changing the military intelligence presentation signs on the simulated map. The division commander Li Zongren and the chief of staff Bai Chongxi both frowned, holding pencils and sitting in the inner seats without saying a word, and in the middle of the two was a military map jointly drawn by the General Staff Office and the Military Intelligence Department.

The combat effectiveness shown by the Gui army after being hit by such a sudden ambush and ferocious fire was very amazing. In addition to the 304th Regiment led by Li Pinxian who successfully defeated the rearguard troops of the Gui Army, the 301st Regiment and the 302nd Regiment attacked three times, but failed to defeat the troops of the First Division and the two regiments of the Gui Army, which were reduced to one regiment. This itself is not unusual, Chen Bingkun is a famous Guijun general, and the main force is shrunk into a group, so it is normal that such hard bones are not easy to gnaw. However, in the area attacked by the 303rd Regiment, the Gui army, which was hit suddenly, actually launched a counter-charge, although the scale was not large, but such an abnormal situation still attracted the attention of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.

After a long time, Li Zongren sat up straight, threw the pencil in his hand on the drawing and said, "Brother Jiansheng, we are in big trouble now?" The second regiment of the Gui Army not only did not collapse, but fought with Liao Lei and them. ”

Bai Chongxi didn't say anything, Li Zongren shook his head and said: "We must now concentrate all our advantages to attack this position where Chen Bingkun is located, this is the focus of this ambush battle, otherwise our Jihua who controlled the initiative on the battlefield will be discounted." When this jihua was formulated, we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Gui army. If it is replaced by our past opponents, let alone an ambush, it is a failure in the head-to-head battle, and it will be like a duck chasing. Where will it be like now, and we can still fight back again, and those who don't know it think that we have run into Japanese soldiers. ”

Bai Chongxi smiled: "Don't be nervous, Brother Delin, as the so-called poor mountains and bad waters produce elite soldiers, our Guangxi is already poor, and there are not many ways for this man to survive, either as a soldier or as a bandit." No matter which one you choose, it is the day of blood on the knife edge, so it is not uncommon to be able to fight well. ”

Li Zongren smiled bitterly: "So what now?" If we don't end it here quickly, Wang Shuai will be in trouble if he blames him. ”

Bai Chongxi thought carefully and said, "Our original Jihua must be changed and end the battle in two hours?" It is indeed underestimating the combat effectiveness and will to fight of the Gui army. But it doesn't matter, I don't believe it, how long can they toss around on such terrain? As long as we tie up the whole pocket, one night will pass, and I guess there will be no fighting spirit. It is impossible for them to get reinforcements anyway. ”

Li Zongren asked in surprise: "Although Chen Bingkun has a rough personality, he is also a person who knows the soldiers, how can he not know your plan, what if he breaks through?" What to do? ”

Bai Chongxi picked up the pencil that Li Zongren had thrown away before and said: "Breaking through will only make him die faster, it's really prominent, let's just chase after him last year." It is human nature to have a way to live, and to flee will replace resistance. In the pursuit battle, our mountain troops who often train may be even more powerful. ”

Li Zongren shook his head and said: "Let's prepare to defeat a strong enemy first, if you really let it run all over the mountain, it is estimated that many of these people will become bandits again, and it will be very difficult to suppress it again when the time comes, so let's work hard now, so as not to have too many heads and tails in the future." ”

Bai Chongxi said with a smile: "Big brother, you are only twenty-three years old, how do you feel a little twilight, the confrontation between these two armies is nothing more than a killing word." Well, without further ado, I'm going to give the order and try to settle the battle before dark. ”

"Rush, kill, ......" Nearly 400 Gui troops of the Second Regiment rushed up with bayonets without any heavy fire support. Don't look at the heavy machine gun firepower of the Xiangxi army on the mountain, in the face of these Gui army, who are agile and as agile as monkeys, the actual lethality can be said to be very limited.

Liao Lei became angry on the spot: "Damn, just such a few people, dare to play with bayonets in front of Lao Tzu, a battalion commander gathers the team, puts on the bayonet, and plays an exciting game if you want to play, so that these Guangxi monkeys can see the power of Lao Tzu." ”

Our Grand Master Liao Lei actually forgot that he himself was a Guangxi man at this moment.

Although the soldiers of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the "bayonet" had not used this thing in actual combat, they still received strict relevant training as a training subject. Therefore, the movements were very simple, and with the command of the officers, everyone pulled out their bayonets from their waists, inserted them neatly under the rifles in their hands, and then entered a state of waiting for the attack.

Liao Lei knows in his heart that this training and actual combat are two different things, after all, one-on-one assassination is more important than jishu action in many cases. But the army without bayonets was actually ineffective, so Liao Lei gritted his teeth and still gave the order to attack with the possibility of being punished on his back.

The 500 warriors of the 1st Battalion jumped up from the ground with the officer's whistle, held their rifles, and exerted all their strength to shout: "Long live the tiger, long live the king......

Then the rows of bayonets shined dazzlingly under the sun's rays, and this light just shone on the eyes of the Gui army, and it was such a stunned kung fu, and the bayonets were fiercely inserted into the abdomen of the Gui soldiers......

Block, tease, backstab, draw shots. Huang Dehu doesn't remember how many times he repeated this set of actions, it would be good if Dahu was there, he didn't have anything to fear at all.

It was also Liao Lei's luck that the people assigned to his regiment were a group of recruits who had been punished at the 803 base, and these soldiers were well-known for their courage and ruthlessness.

Although the Gui army also resisted fiercely, it was often the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment here who had just stabbed a Gui soldier, followed by a Gui army's bayonet and plunged it into his waist.

Liao Lei had just received a verbal reprimand from Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi through the herald, looking at the tragic white blade station, Liao Lei, who was extremely aggrieved just now, threw away his military hat, picked up a rifle and shouted: "All charge......

"Long live the tiger, long live Wang Shuai......"

Sometimes momentum is really important, and the four hundred Gui troops who were originally mobilized by Huang Xuchu to counterattack did not suffer losses in the white-knuckle battle, and even had an advantage for a time, and the casualty ratio of the two sides was basically between one to one. However, when they saw nearly 1,000 Xiangxi troops smashing down fiercely, almost every Gui officer and soldier's will to fight was seriously shaken.

The officers of the Gui Army finally remembered at this time, Huang Xuchu was just a trainee officer, and he actually listened to this kid's blind command just now, this is not a fate, so the officer took the lead, and the entire Gui army was defeated.

Seeing that the enemy in front of him suddenly collapsed like a stroke, the excited Xiangxi officers and soldiers immediately felt their legs fluttering, their whole bodies relaxed, and their morale was even stronger.

The Gui army, which was slow to withdraw for a while, immediately fell into a piece, but it was worthy of being a monkey in Guangxi, just such a stabbing effort, the rest of the people immediately ran away, and they couldn't catch up no matter how they chased it.

At this time, Huang Xuchu and Tao Jun, who were responsible for collecting the defeated troops in place, had gathered less than 200 people, and many of them had also lost their weapons and will to fight.

Huang Xuchu made a simple calculation and shouted to Tao Jun: "Take the men and horses with me to meet the division commander, and go quickly." ”

As for the bearded regiment commander, although Huang Xuchu despises him as a person, it is taboo to leave the commander on the battlefield to escape, so Huang Xuchu waved his hand, and the two soldiers went over to take the bearded regiment commander who had been trembling away, as for what will happen after seeing Commander Chen, whether he will be shot or acquitted, then it doesn't matter to him......

Chen Bingkun's life here was not easy, because it was a long snake-like march, and the entire unit was pulled several kilometers long, and the command system was even more disrupted after encountering the enemy's attack. Fortunately, his first division is the foundation of the old new army, and there is no way to escape from the river valley, after the initial chaos, Chen Bingkun gathered nearly two regiments of men and horses through the troops directly under the division around him. Then he relied on this small 2,000 people to capture a small hill in one fell swoop, but unfortunately before he could break through, the 301st Regiment and the 302nd Regiment took control of the surrounding hills, and Chen Bingkun was immediately stuck, and failed to break through three times in a row, and lost three or four hundred people.

However, because he successfully occupied a mountain, now Chen Bingkun does not have to worry that his subordinates will be scattered by the Xiangxi Army, which is much luckier than Huang Xuchu, who fought bravely to win military power.

In the second half of the first division of the Gui Army, the Fourth Regiment, composed of nearly 1,000 Gui troops, was not so lucky, they let Li Pinxian of the 304th Regiment of the Xiangxi Army directly launch a charge at the beginning of the battle, and now it has become an end of formation.

Li Pinxian's style of play was also praised by Wang Zhenyu after the incident, and became a major feature of the Tiger Army's ambush operations in the future. The most important feature of this style of play is that it does not even give the enemy a chance to take a breath, and achieves the predetermined strategic goal as quickly as possible through a double blow of psychological and physical combat.

At this moment, Li Pinxian is also very proud of the seizures, so these captured zuihou must be handed over to the people of the Armaments Department to deal with, but according to the regulations, ammunition, guns, these combat materials, the combat troops can be retained by themselves, as long as the retained data is reported to those bastards in the Armaments Department afterwards.

At this time, the herald came over and handed the latest order of the division headquarters to Li Pinxian, Li Pinxian opened it and shouted loudly: "One battalion will leave a company to guard the prisoners and supplies, and the rest of the troops will gather immediately, and the division headquarters will order us to move forward to support immediately, and if you don't want to spend the night in the river valley, hurry up ......for me."
