Chapter 235: The Great March (5)

withstood the attack of the youth army on the first day, and Hu Hansan's heart finally landed. At the celebration banquet, he told the truth himself, don't look at his confident appearance, in fact, he has no bottom, after all, the fourth division of the Jiangxi Army is a temporary patchwork, and it is not a regular army. I didn't think that after a fierce battle, although I lost 5,000 men and horses, I fought with my opponent.

Now Hu Hansan is really proud, he feels that he can be regarded as an immortal god of war now, and his father, who died early, will definitely be embarrassed to say that he is a gentleman if he can see his scenery today.

"Brothers, the times create heroes, I can't imagine that the youth army that defeated President Yuan Da is just like this, come, let's all do this glass of wine, tomorrow when my brother-in-law arrives with those 10,000 brothers, we will fight back on all fronts, first drive these Hunan Yankees out of our Jiangxi, and then join my brother-in-law Li Dashuai's reinforcements to level Hunan." Hu Hansan was obviously a little drunk, and everything began to jump out of his mouth.

"That is, when the time comes, President Yuan will say that he will give a Hunan overseer to our big brother Hu, and our brothers will follow Brother Hu to be a county magistrate, Daotai or something, everyone said, isn't it?"

All the brothers applauded, but when they saw Hu Hansantie with a blue face, they shouted, "You kid is wrong. ”

The person who spoke just now was immediately embarrassed at the scene, and everyone didn't dare to make any more noise and looked at Hu Hansan.

Hu Hansan suddenly showed a smile at this time and said: "What President Yuan, then it will be Emperor Yuan." What do you bastards know? ”

It turned out that it was wrong here, and everyone suddenly became happy again, and the man just now hurriedly said: "Yes, it's the little one I said wrong, what Hunan overseer, when the time comes, our big brother Hu will be the great hero of the thief, and the king of our Chinese empire with a different surname......"

Just when Hu Hansan and the others were whimsical and drunk, Liao Lei was arranging tomorrow's combat mission with his subordinates at the headquarters of the Fourth Division.

Since the Fourth Division of the Jiangxi Army was a new team, there was no relevant intelligence and information at the Jiangxi Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but they did their best to obtain information about the source and quantity of the division's equipment through the people lurking around Li Chun.

Looking at this information, Liao Lei couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It seems that the Ninth Division is indeed not very powerful, and it needs to be pulled back to Xiangxi to return to the furnace, and such a little heavy weapon actually blocked more than 20,000 of them." ”

Liu Xuyi, the commander of the 401st Regiment, immediately got up when he heard this and said: "Commander Liao, you give an order, our 401st Regiment guarantees that a single charge will defeat this group of rabble, and I can't even figure out what my parents' surnames are." Lest everyone think that they can come out and wrestle with our invincible Tiger Youth Army in the future, otherwise how will this battle be fought? ”

The other regiment commanders also stood up one after another to ask for battle, and they all said that they would let the 30,000 rabble in front of them know the strength of the main force of the Youth Army.

Liao Lei nodded, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down: "Don't fight, tomorrow our division will only have the main attack task, and the outflanking has been handed over to the ninth division, and you all have a share." I've read all the information you've gathered from your units (going to enemy positions to capture officers or soldiers and coming back for questioning), and it's not bad, and I can basically see the severity of the enemy's defenses. It can be seen that there are still a group of military talents around this opponent, and the fortifications are relatively reasonable, and there is no shortage of depth and depth, so everyone should not be careless. As for tomorrow's battle, my jihua is our three-line attack together, the 402nd and 403rd regiments attack the two flanks, the 401st regiment and the 404th regiment break through the center, and the division's firepower will all be used to support you, let's play the center breakthrough tomorrow. Everyone remembers, this battle is related to the honor of our youth army, so we can only win but not lose, within an hour, I must see the rout of the whole army called Hu Hesan, you all go back and prepare, tomorrow at noon I will have dinner in Ji'an County. ”

All the officers immediately got up and left......

The battle began at eight o'clock the next morning, and out of humanitarian considerations, the youth army also allowed Hu Hansan's men and horses to eat their own breakfast.

Fifty heavy artillery, ninety mountain guns, and three hundred mortars began the most ferocious firepower.

In order to achieve long-term peace and stability in the entire Jiangxi region, Liao Lei does not mind showing the world the strong firepower of the Fourth Division. In fact, twenty years after the Battle of Ji'an, Liao Lei's name still has the effect of stopping children's crying.

The fire preparation of the Fourth Division lasted for ten minutes, and almost all the shells carried were exhausted, in Liao Lei's words, anyway, it was just this hammer deal, and I took those iron guys to eat.

Naturally, the artillerymen did not think about the cost, they were very willing to enjoy this way of fighting that they could beat people hard without worrying about the other side fighting back, they all stripped off their shirts, desperately reloaded, closed the door, and fired......

The mountain artillery position supported by Li Chun was the first to be shelled, six of the 20 guns were destroyed at once, and the rest were also destroyed in the shell explosion, and more than 100 gunners who had been strictly trained by Japanese instructors were very lucky, and they were eating 100 meters away from the position. The huge gas caused by the explosion knocked these Beiyang artillerymen to the ground, and out of psychological dependence, Hu Hansan, who felt that it was safer to be with the artillery, set up his division headquarters in a courtyard less than 150 meters away from the artillery position. It stands to reason that this distance is considered safe, but unfortunately a shell that deviated from the track landed in the courtyard outside the division headquarters and exploded. A large number of officers sent by Li Chun to assist Hu Hansan in commanding were having breakfast in the courtyard, and the wine that had been drunk last night would have hurt so much that they all watched the shells fall from the sky without taking any measures to save themselves. The huge explosion blew all the windows of the division headquarters apart, and even Hu Hansan, who had just gotten up from a hangover, was shaken back to bed by Hot Lang, and his eardrums were buzzing.

When Hu Hansan got up again and rushed outside the house, there were more than 30 Beiyang officers lying all over the courtyard, all of whom were helpless.

It can be said that Liao Lei broke the central command system of Hu Hansan's department in the first round, and Hu Hansan couldn't play any moths he wanted to play now.

And just as the artillery fire began to extend in depth, the infantry of the Youth Army launched an assault on the positions of the three Hu and Han divisions in strict accordance with the principle of infantry and artillery coordination.

Although the three divisions of Hu and Han were all brave and ruthless, after the modern weapons attacked, the disadvantages of the lack of formal training came out. The shelling just now caused at least 3,000 casualties, but the remaining 20,000 horses no longer had the determination to defend their positions, and they threw down their weapons and turned around and fled backwards, as far as they could.

Liao Lei took this scene in his eyes through the binoculars, and said angrily: "Damn, they are still not men, are there such a war?" ”

It's no wonder that Liao Lei is so angry, since the battle of Zhujiaqiao, the Fourth Division has not even caught a decent battle, all the opponents either surrender or flee, anyway, as soon as they see the tiger flag of the Youth Army, they have no fighting spirit.

In this way, the war becomes a march, and if nothing else, the military merits are gone. And Liao Lei also got the Jihua book of Operation Blue Light, knowing that he would have no work to do after capturing Jiangxi. This is something that Liao Lei, who is bent on making meritorious contributions, cannot allow, and he has already sent an urgent telegram to Li Zongren, the old governor of Changsha, asking him to find a way to let his Fourth Division also participate in the battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is absolutely a tough battle to fight, although this battle is still on paper at present.

Hu Hansan was immediately dumbfounded when he looked at the army that had been defeated like a tide, and he immediately organized a team of warlords to stop it, hoping to drive the soldiers back to continue the resistance.

However, these soldiers who had just put on their official uniforms were still regimental citizens in essence, and they considered themselves to be the head of their own regiment and did not recognize any military law, not only did they not obey orders, but they also chose to raise their guns and shoot at each other after the supervising team fired, and the whole scene was chaotic.

At this point, Hu Hansan also knew that the general trend was going, and there was no way, so he had to be wrapped up in the chaos and fled all the way north.

But now it's not so easy to escape, Cheng Qian, who suffered a big loss under Ji'an City yesterday, has already copied Hu Hansan's back road overnight. The Ninth Division set up ambushes at several major intersections, and the Hu and Han Third Divisions, which had lost their formation and were in chaos, plunged into the ambush without even thinking about it, and naturally they were beaten by a fat meal and suffered heavy casualties.

The Ninth Division fully carried forward the style of beating the water dogs, and everyone up and down held their breath yesterday, so they didn't let go of a single one. More than 19,000 people were captured, and Hu Hansan, who thought he was about to become a famous general, was also among the prisoners, and was quickly identified along with dozens of other regimental commanders. Then he was dragged in front of Cheng Qian and Lu Diping by the angry soldiers of the Ninth Division like a dead dog, and he was beaten very fatly, he was supposed to be shot immediately, but Lu Diping saved him with a word: "It's not easy to kill this kind of mantis arm blocking car thing, what we have to do is not to kill him, but to let him live well and regret it for a lifetime." ”

As soon as Cheng Qian heard that it was reasonable, he stepped forward and rewarded Hu Hansan with two ear scrapers, and then signaled that all the other regiment commanders would be shot to Liwei, and Hu Hansan was escorted to Anjiang and waited for the legal trial. According to Order No. 7 recently issued by the Supreme High Command, anyone who resists stubbornly and undermines the peaceful reunification of the Supreme Command will be punished as a war criminal and will be imprisoned for life.

When things got to this point, Hu Hansan remembered his father's advice before his death, don't make trouble, but unfortunately it's too late.

In fact, Hu Hansan was sentenced to life imprisonment after being escorted to Anjiang, worked in the Guangxi labor camp for 25 years, and was released at the age of 45 when he applied to serve in the Indonesian Construction Corps because of the new policy......
