Chapter 1850: The Night of the Bloody War
Hu Hao originally wanted to order the air force to immediately touch the bombers and bomb the forests in the Nalchik region, but the air force immediately sent a telegram back.
"How?" Hu Hao asked the staff officer.
"The air force over there reported that at this time, the Nalchik area is covered with dark clouds, and lightning often occurs, so the air force cannot be dispatched!" The staff officer said immediately.
"What?" When Bai Chongxi heard it, he immediately took the telegram, then took the telegram and looked at Hu Hao in dismay.
"Damn, order, Ye Xiaohua, the commander of the 27th Army, is on alert immediately, so all the weapons and ammunition must be in place, send scouts, and immediately conduct reconnaissance in the Nalchik area,
In addition, the infantry divisions 27 divisions, 94 divisions, 107 divisions, 109 divisions were ordered. Set off immediately, support the 27th Army, order the 121st and 125th Divisions of the armored division to be dispatched immediately, go to the positions of the 27th Army for reinforcements, and order the rocket artillery 1725 brigade, 1928 brigade, to be dispatched immediately,
As soon as there is a battle ahead, immediately set up your position!
In addition, he sent electricity to Ye Xiaohua, so the troops that went to reinforce were all under his command! Hu Hao immediately ordered at this time.
"Yes!" When Bai Chongxi heard it, he immediately went to send a telegram in person, such a telegram, Bai Chongxi didn't dare to be careless, and went to explain it in person, while Hu Hao walked back and forth in the headquarters.
"Someone, inform Ye Xiaohua for me, once we find out that the enemy has our intention to attack, we can decide when to launch an attack on our own basis, don't report it!" Hu Hao said again, and the staff officer next to him also went to do it immediately.
Report. The report of our meteorological analysis department says that in the Nalchik region, there is a possibility of a week of heavy rain in a row! A staff officer said to Hu Hao according to the report of the meteorological department.
"What. Why didn't they say it earlier, damn it! Order, defend on all fronts, all on alert, all reserve troops, all leaning forward! Hu Hao heard it, and after scolding his mother, he ordered again.
If the Narchik region really rains next week. Then when the entire German army and even the troops of the United States will be dispatched to contain the Chinese troops!
On the German side, at this time the German troops were leaning forward.
"Report, our weather report. According to our expert speculation. The rain is likely to last for about a week. Among them, the heavy rain may take 2 days, that is, the heavy rain may be 2 days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! A staff officer immediately took a telegram and reported to Guderian's side.
"Good. It's good to come. God helps us Germany, order, the 4th Army, the 7th Army, all to move towards the Nalchik region, and in addition, order our troops in the Nalchik region to attack now, attack immediately! Guderian immediately shouted,
And when the chief of staff received the order, he immediately went to give the order.
Ten minutes later, in the Nalchik Forest, many vehicles began to start, and then rushed out of the forest, and the cars were full of soldiers.
And in the dark sky, there are lightning from time to time, and after the sky is lit up in an instant, it falls into darkness again, but slowly, at the edge of the forest, more and more vehicles drive out of the forest.
In some relatively open places on the edge of the forest, some soldiers also opened the artillery cover first, and then adjusted the artillery, and now they are waiting for the order, once they first determine the position of the enemy's artillery, they will immediately start bombing the Chinese artillery positions!
And behind those infantry convoys, there are a large number of tanks, and those tanks do not dare to test too much at this time, because China has dense anti-tank weapons, they can only let the infantry charge first, and then wait for the infantry to go up, and then they start to drive the power of the engine, and tear apart the Chinese defense line at a static distance.
"Squad leader, look, look over there! It's all lights! A soldier saw a lot of flickering headlights in the distant sky.
"Quick, send a telegram to the command, the enemy is on a sortie, in the Nalchik area, prepare for defense, the rest of the people, get in the car, get in the car, don't turn on the lights!" When the squad leader saw it, his face turned blue, and he shouted loudly,
The other warriors heard this, and began to run towards the place where they were hiding, and they had to flee this place before the enemy's army came, not only here now, but also in other directions.
Those field vehicles that had just been modified from a small jeep came here to reconnoitre, and immediately found that something was abnormal, so they immediately drove away, and did not dare to turn on the lights, they were afraid that there would be tanks behind, and if there were tanks, if they would be bombarded, it would be troublesome.
"Report, an urgent telegram has been sent from our front-line reconnaissance unit, a large force of the enemy has been dispatched, and the entire road is full of vehicles!" A staff officer took a dozen telegrams to report to Ye Xiaohua, the commander of the 27th Army.
"What, here it is! Order, the whole army is ready, this fierce battle, remember, it is a fierce battle, we must hold out until dawn tomorrow! Ye Xiaohua immediately shouted at those staff officers, and those staff officers also issued the order,
Ye Xiaohua took the telescope to the observation port, looked at it with the telescope, and could vaguely see a lot of car lights in the distance.
"Are the units ready?" Ye Xiaohua asked Zhang Ping, the chief of staff next to him.
"It's ready, all the ammunition has gone up, now wait for the enemy to come, now I don't know how many people the enemy will come!" Zhang Ping looked at the side with a telescope and said.
"It's indispensable, at least there are hundreds of thousands, and if there are more, there may be four or five hundred thousand! And even more! Ye Xiaohua looked at the front and said.
"What, so much?" Zhang Ping looked at Ye Xiaohua in surprise and asked.
"What do you say, Brother Hao has already issued an order to various troops, saying that the enemy may choose a point to attack, in order to tear through our defense line, and ask us to pay attention, but unfortunately we didn't know in advance, the enemy's purpose is for us to prepare this side,
But fortunately, we still found out in advance, and if we didn't know until the enemy appeared in front of our position, it would be really troublesome!
At least for now, as long as we hold out for an hour or two, reinforcements will start to arrive, and at the end there will be 2 armored divisions and 2 vehicle-mounted rocket artillery brigades to reinforce us, and after dawn, 4 infantry divisions will come! As long as we hold on until dawn, it's fine! Ye Xiaohua said with a sigh.
"Does the enemy really want to break through from our side?" Zhang Ping still asked in disbelief.
"Do you think that millions of troops, how many supplies will be consumed every day, we can afford to drag it, but our enemy they can't afford to drag it off, they want to be all thrown into the attack immediately,
This time, the defensive position of our 27th Army is estimated to be a position that the 2nd Army is desperately fighting for, and our 27th Army is estimated to pay a big price! Ye Xiaohua said with emotion.
"There is a war at night, or the second half of the month, a rainy night, damn, we are in trouble this time!" Zhang Ping scolded and said.
"Did the flares go down?" Ye Xiaohua asked.
"I found out, can I not send it? It's been sent down a long time ago! But you can't rely on flares! Zhang Ping looked at Ye Xiaohua worriedly and asked.
"Then let's fight, I believe in our soldiers!" Ye Xiaohua looked at this Zhang Ping coldly, and then said calmly,
Ye Xiaohua has fought many tough battles with Hu Hao before, including the earliest expedition to Shandong, to the defense of Shanhaiguan, and then to the expedition to the Soviet Union.
But Zhang Ping, who used to be a general on the side of the national army, is still a major general, but he has only been on the battlefield once, and that was during the third Battle of Wuhan.
Zhang Ping's own education is relatively high, and he has been trained in the German Military Academy, so he has always been valued by the above, and the educated generals are all highly valued by the above, so he was promoted to the chief of staff of the 27th Army, the purpose is also to let him enrich the training of the troops with theoretical knowledge, and also to let him learn more experience on the battlefield.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I! Zhang Ping saw Ye Xiaohua looking at him like this.
"It doesn't matter, you haven't really fought a bloody battle, if it's other generals, they won't be afraid, if you finish this battle, you'll be fine, then you won't be afraid of the future battles!" Ye Xiaohua said with a smile.
"I know, thank you, Commander!" Zhang Ping said immediately.
"Look, commander, they're coming, they're approaching quickly, do you want to inform our artillery?" A brigadier general's senior staff officer pointed to Ye Xiaohua in the distance and shouted.
"Inform a fart, the enemy is waiting for our artillery to fire, if Lao Tzu doesn't open the artillery, do you think they dare to open the cannon?" Ye Xiaohua said immediately.
"But commander, what if the enemy has too many artillery and opens fire in advance in order to attract our artillery?" The brigadier staff officer immediately asked.
"Then we will fire at those open fields in front of us, we are on the defensive line, many places are fixed positions, not afraid of artillery, kill the people in front of us!" Ye Xiaohua said firmly.
Ye Xiaohua looked at the car lights in the distance, and in his heart he was estimating how many enemies were involved in the attack.
"Commander, the first wave of enemy attacks, the number of infantry will not be less than 100,000! And, there could be more! Zhang Ping looked into the distance, estimated it and said, Ye Xiaohua heard it, nodded, and it was about the same as his estimate.
"Tonight, our 27th Army, it's really going to bleed! Made! Ye Xiaohua nodded.
"Report, the enemy has stopped at a position of 2 kilometers from our side, and all the lights have been turned off!" A staff officer said immediately.
"What, this is forcing Lao Tzu to fire! Come on, bombard the front position for me, Lao Tzu doesn't need artillery! Order the artillery to bombard quickly for 5 minutes, and leave the position immediately after the bombardment, the artillery is not needed! Ye Xiaohua suddenly said.
"Commander, you!" The brigadier general immediately looked at Ye Xiaohua strangely.
"Go to the command. I'll explain it to you later! Ye Xiaohua glared and shouted.
"Yes!" (To be continued......)
