Chapter 1167: The Ending of the Battle of Guiyang
Xu Liejun found out that the situation was wrong earlier than Liao Huaizheng, he was in the front-line headquarters, there was nothing to do, no division would listen to him, and he was caught by white-eyed people everywhere, and he felt that he was also an idler, and in a fit of anger, he took his remaining more than 3,000 people and horses to the front line, followed behind the troops of the Central Army attacking Guiyang, thinking, looking for something cheap.
Xu Liejun's soldiers are not like the soldiers of the Central Army, there is still a bit of military discipline, these bandit soldiers of the former Guizhou Security Force, when they arrive at the battlefield, they fight and fight a bear, and the people nearby can be killed, and the villages are looted by them, and then they burn them clean.
Not only that, but they also shot and killed more than 100 wounded soldiers and prisoners of the independent division in one go, and even the clothes on the corpses were stripped of their fines, and they were doing their best work, and a burst of overwhelming artillery fire was knocked down from the head, but their team of more than 3,000 people was not the key target of the attack, and all of them were borne by the Central Army troops that were attacking in front.
Looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the Central Army, turned into minced meat flying all over the sky, Xu Liejun was frightened, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered to retreat, but this time, he exposed his whereabouts, and the artillery of the Third Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, which was responsible for attacking this direction, found that a group of routs came in this direction, and they could still let it go.
After the artillery fire, when Xu Liejun crawled out of the soil, there was already a slaughterhouse in front of him, and the corpses of his subordinates were scattered everywhere, and they could follow him to the direction of Liao Huaizheng's headquarters, but there were more than 1,000 people, and after fighting this part, Xu Liejun was confused, and he could understand what was going on, Tang Qiuli's main force came up, listening to the sound of artillery in all directions, and seeing the soldiers of the Central Army, the tide generally ran back, and the soldiers of the independent division, can there be less?
Xu Liejun ran to Liao Huaizheng's headquarters regardless of it, and shouted when he entered the tent, Liao Huaizheng, whose brain was blank, was awakened by Xu Liejun's non-human voice, and he asked like a dream, "Chairman Xu, what did you say?" Tang Qiuli's main force surrounded us? How is it possible, did it fall from the sky? ”
As if to verify Xu Liejun's words, more than a dozen telephones on the shell box rang in a hurry like crazy, and the staff officers hurriedly picked it up, all reporting a situation, attacking the troops in Guiyang, they were attacked by heavy artillery fire, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, plus the defenders of the independent division in the city, taking the opportunity to counterattack, they could not withstand it, and retreated on all fronts, please give the latest order to Commander Liao!
Although they were hit by a shell, the front-line officers did not explain that they were shelled by that unit, in fact, until now, they have not figured out who they were suddenly attacked, Liao Huaizheng still understood, it must be the troops of the independent division, these troops falling from the sky, appeared so suddenly, Liao Huaizheng was dizzy.
Liao Huaizheng's face turned pale, such a fierce artillery fire, without the scale of more than a dozen divisions, could not achieve such an effect, that is to say, Tang Qiu was ruthless, and did not hesitate to use more than 200,000 troops to surround his seven divisions in the suburbs of Guiyang, this is to completely annihilate his own troops!
In fact, this is a kind of fighting style of Zhang Hansheng, the troops he leads, five brigades are no more than 80,000 people, and the troops on both flanks are each a brigade, such an encirclement is as thin as a layer of paper, if the central army desperately breaks through the encirclement, it can break through the encirclement at once, and it will collapse on all sides, and it will not be able to complete the task of annihilating the central army assigned by the division commander.
Therefore, Zhang Hansheng concentrated all the artillery and even the tank units as artillery, and carried out fierce artillery bombardment in the south, west, and east directions.
Liao Huaizheng recovered from the initial confusion, he couldn't wait to die, the defeat was a sure outcome, the best result was how many troops he could bring out, just in the sound of explosions near and far when the shells were coming, he trembled his hands, picked up the phone, and asked several division commanders on the front line, where is the main direction of attack of the independent division troops?
After listening, Liao Huaizheng breathed a sigh of relief, the road to the sky is endless, it must be the troops of the independent division, it is urgent, and it has not had time to block the road to the north, otherwise, he will end up with his hands tied, and the artillery shell just now blew up the tent in the telecommunications room of the headquarters to pieces, and the radio station that contacted the military command department was all destroyed.
Even if he couldn't get Chen Cheng's instructions, Liao Huaizheng also decided to retreat north to the direction of Zunyi immediately, otherwise, it would be the end of the dumpling dumplings by Tang Qiuli's troops, and a few guards carried out the corpse of the staff officer with their heads like a rotten watermelon, and in the tent, in addition to the smell of gunsmoke, there was also a strong smell of blood.
Liao Huaizheng endured the feeling of turning the river and the sea in his stomach, and issued an order to all divisions to immediately withdraw north in the direction of Zunyi, and immediately, the command headquarters was in a hurry, braving artillery fire, before the troops withdrew from the periphery of Guiyang, and fled in a hurry in the direction of Zunyi.
No one paid attention to the dignified Guizhou Provincial Government Chairman Xu Liejun, Xu Liejun himself, with surprising agility, climbed into a car first, as for those hundreds of subordinates, how could they have time to deal with it, it was important to escape, Tang Qiuli asked for his own head by name, and if he didn't escape, the guy who ate would be gone, Xu Liejun had already made up his mind, once he fled to Zunyi. Immediately ran to Chongqing to avoid the limelight, this place in Guizhou, is no longer able to stay.
When Zhang Hansheng saw the Central Army troops retreating on all fronts, he immediately sent a telegram to Chen Han in Guiyang City: "Commander Chen, the Central Army troops besieging Guiyang have retreated in the direction of Zunyi on all fronts, and our troops are following and pursuing. ”
Chen Han put his hat on the table, "Damn, I pressed Lao Tzu for most of the day, this time, I also gave Lao Tzu a bad breath, ordered, all the defenders of Guiyang, immediately go out of the city to pursue, and give Lao Tzu a hard beating!" The troops of the Guangzhou Garrison District in Guiyang City did not have time to wipe their faces blackened by the gunsmoke, and with full of anger, they crossed the rubble urban area and chased them down like a torrent.
Chen Han did not forget to call Zhang Hansheng back, "Thank you Chief of Staff Zhang for the timely reinforcements, I have ordered the troops of the Guangzhou Garrison District to pursue the fleeing Central Army troops with all their might, and after the troops meet, please ask Chief of Staff Zhang to take full command, "In such a battle, Chen Han knows who is the main force, the troops of Chief of Staff Zhang, that is the main force!"
The war was urgent, Zhang Hansheng was not polite, the two troops, after meeting in the northern suburbs of Guiyang, formed a force, more than 100,000 troops, like a flood of embankments, chased the back of the central army, and chased straight down.
"The division pointed out that our unit launched a surprise attack on the Central Army troops besieging Guiyang at 1:30 p.m. on August 29, and two hours later, the Central Army troops retreated to the direction of Zunyi, and the troops were continuing to pursue," after reading Zhang Hansheng's telegram, Tang Qiuli slapped the table, "Okay, with less than 80,000 troops, defeat more than 100,000 Central Army in two hours, Zhang Hansheng did a good job, below, it should be Le Yiqin who appeared, sued him, and blew the road to Zunyi into a sea of fire." ”
"Also, sue Zhang Hansheng, after that Xu Liejun is caught, there is no need to interrogate, he will be shot on the spot, it is useless to keep this scum, it is still a trouble, after the identification is completed, those bandit soldiers who followed him to shoot the first shot will all be shot on the spot, for the people of Guizhou, except for this harm," Tang Qiuli said to Yang Ketian, the chief of staff, with a dignified murderous aura in his tone.
When the retreating Central Army troops ran to the north of Guiyang to Xiuwen, they could no longer run away, and Le Yiqin's Nanfang Flying First and Second Flying Groups dispatched all the bombers and more than half of the fighters to blow up several roads leading to Zunyi in northern Guizhou into a sea of fire.
Ke Le Yiqin ordered the bomber formation, and more than 80 percent of the aerial bombs carried were "Buddha Light" napalm, which were thrown one by one, and the flames were everywhere, and even the stones were burned, Le Yiqin did not dare to forget the order of the division commander, and blew the road to Zunyi into a sea of fire, and he did it.
Liao Huaizheng arrived at Xiuwen more than half an hour earlier than the large army, just in time for Le Yiqin's bomber group, which was blocking the road, one after another flashing bright bombs, falling from the sky, a fire rushed to the sky, roasting his face painfully, the driver braked urgently, so he did not rush into the flames.
Liao Huaizheng sighed, what was left behind may not be a way to live, Tang Qiuli had already started to kill, and the troops who caught up behind were facing a wall of fire, making a mess, Liao Huaizheng and Xu Lie both saw with their own eyes that there were several military vehicles, which seemed to not believe that this wall of fire could block themselves, plus not far behind, there was a burst of guns, and the roar of the tank motor was like urging life.
Don't believe in evil, increase the throttle, and crash into this wall of fire, in less than five minutes, a few dull loud noises, in the flames, a few fireballs, more than a hundred people, not even a bone slag left.
Liao Huaizheng understood, three attacks, all the way to the fire, Tang Qiuli put this is a lore formation, after a bombardment, the casualties of the seven divisions of the Central Army have reached more than 20,000 people, plus the casualties of the attack on Guiyang, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people left, in the face of the attack of the independent division, is there still a need to fight hard?
What's more, Liao Huaizheng saw a glimmer of hope from the movements of the Le Yiqin machine group, there were hundreds of planes in the sky, if this fire and bombs were poured on the already chaotic troops, the number of casualties would be amazing, it can be seen that Tang Qiuli did not want to kill his own troops.
Anyway, being in a desperate situation, the dying struggle was just to increase the casualties, Liao Huaizheng sighed and gave the order to stop resisting and surrender all.
