A few hours later, Xue Yue's forward troops were no longer considered forwards. Grinding and struggling, he was connected with the team behind him. The center of the team that followed closely behind could not stand it arrogantly, and one of them, a very arrogant officer, led his regiment to overtake the forward, walked to the front, and sent troops to desperately outflank him whenever he was attacked along the way, and regarded the detachment as a military merit with long legs.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, just over an hour later. This regiment came as if it had been beaten and shrunken. If there are fewer troops rushing into the mountains and forests to outflank them, there will be fewer people coming out, and there will be more people, and the hair will not be able to touch it after mixing a few thunders and listening to a few sounds. However, luck was a little better, and their regimental commander just knocked the mortar to the ground. Although the team's luck was a little worse this time, they only injured this person. But that arrogance is gone. As soon as the heart is gone, the morale will be low.
In addition, the search troops that were put into the forest always suffered heavy losses for no apparent reason, and later they did not dare to put the troops into the forest again, and it continued to become a situation where they were beaten and did not fight back. The march slowed down again.
The troops' rapid march became extremely slow again and again, making Xue Yue unbearable. The commanders of the columns that had gone ahead reprimanded them with all the unpleasant words, and sent the gendarmes to the front with their own warrants to kill a large number of officers who were delaying the military planes, and then lined up in several rows with machine guns and submachine guns to drive the march behind the line, and also brought loud voices along the road to announce the latest rewards.
This period is so good, human life is not valuable, and adding a pension of a few dozen yuan can make people scream and die. Of course, this time it is really not a death, the Red Army is a cold gun in the east and a cold gun in the west, and people are constantly falling, but the number is not to the extent that the generals of all walks of life can't bear it. In the case of a reward and a gendarme with submachine guns, the army was able to overcome its fears and continued to march, only about 30% slower.
The fruit army in front of them was always shrunk into a group, and the weapons and ammunition of the Red Army were not so large that they could be used freely. Liu Mengzi used all the means he could use, and the speed of the fruit army was still not slow. By the next day, when Luo Binghui's troops had solved the auxiliary positions and launched a general attack on the Guizhou army, the forward of Xue Yue's army had already fought with the blocking troops sent by the Ninth Army Corps. Xue Yue only needed to break through this line of defense and march forward for three or four hours to reach the battlefield.
In front of the Red Army is a large army, rushing up to get a lot of rewards, casually follow the front troops to kill a few Red Army soldiers or capture a few prisoners, maybe you can get opportunities that are difficult for others to get in their lifetime, if you can be promoted to an official and a half position, you don't have to continue to be this person's subordinate. In a short period of three hours, thousands of troops were assembled one after another in front of the two blocking positions, one in the south and one in the north, and the two sides repeatedly engaged in short-handed combat for the sake of two small mountain beams. The reward for the first breakthrough through the positions of the Red Army was repeatedly increased, and the rank of promotion was also raised again and again.
The follow-up troops of the Decisive Party also drove the march to the maximum, striving to rush to the battlefield faster to entangle the Red Army. On the battlefield besieging the Guizhou army, the commanders of the various departments had already jumped to their feet, and the various departments could not control the distinction between the main attack and the feint, and the voices of the death squads were shouting on all sides, and the charge did not stop for a moment. Finally, the main position of the Guizhou army was broken through before the death squad of the Guo army broke through the blocking position, and after urgently cleaning the battlefield, they began to organize a retreat.
In order to buy more time for the main force, they invariably took the only remaining people with wooden sticks and stones to launch a decisive charge, until they were seriously injured and did not forget to pull the glorious bullet. When the last grenade kicked up a blood mist, the blocking position was officially broken.
Annoyed and angry, the Guo army lit sky lanterns on the few Red Army soldiers who had lost their strength and were captured. The wails of the tortured Red Army soldiers spread for more than ten miles, and the fruit army itself could not bear to hear it. The commanders and fighters who rushed over to set up the second line of defense were furious when they heard the wailing sound across the mountains, and if it weren't for the task of covering the main force, the charge would have resounded through the valley.
On the first day of the battle, Xia Xinsheng immediately led the first battalion and the supplementary regiment that rushed over to start expanding the fortifications, and it was not a simple matter to block Xue Yuejun. In the absence of the same superiority in firepower, and even in the absence of food, it is possible to get the same pressure as the position will face.
The position was set up on both sides of the Niulan River between Xiaohekou and Damaidi, not that the enemy headquarters in front of Aizawa was unwilling to advance the blocking position, but that there were too many roads leading to the Niulan River. There is a saying in later generations that it is very good to say that in the mountains, the river is the fastest highway, and there is no need to worry about losing your way along the river, after all, the direction of the river is constant for a certain period of time. As for the road, there is no need to worry, as thousands of years of erosion have opened up a large river basin for people to walk. So it doesn't make much sense to be at the front.
The position is very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the gateway to enter the sea of people, and the Niulan River passes through the mountains from here, and it is a necessary place to enter Aizawa from the east. It's not that there are no other roads, it's just that the Chungyang Army doesn't have much time to spend on the road, so it's basically impossible to take a detour. Only by entering Huize from the sea and advancing rapidly along the Jinsha River could it be possible to intercept the Red Army before most of the Central Red Army crossed the river and completely block the road for the Red Army to the north. And the task of our army in Aizawa is to buy time for the main force to cross the river, so this place will inevitably become a flesh mill for the two armies. The other must be the road from Deze to Dongchuan, but it is unlikely that the pontoon bridge will support the boat with a more rapid flow there, as long as the bridges along the Niulan River are contained, the possibility of crossing the river from here will be basically blocked.
After He Changgong, Xia Xinsheng, and Su Jin reconciled, Xia Xinsheng's plan was determined after a simple discussion. Relying on the mountain along the bank of the Niulan River, it was improved by drawing on the tactics of the later volunteers and the famous work of the tiger boy Xue Yue, the "Heavenly Furnace Tactics", to curb the narrow passages, and to carry out civil fortifications in several suitable terrains in the follow-up, resisting them one by one.
The design of the fortifications is naturally a reference to the famous circular fortifications, and the multi-storey fish-scale main trench is built along the slope from the bottom to the top of several semi-circular fortifications. The fortifications are connected by communication trenches, and there are all kinds of anti-artillery holes in the foxholes. Traps made of bamboo sticks and other objects were scattered all over the front of the fortifications. The entire hillside facing the enemy is cut into a slope, and everything that affects the shooting range is removed. Almost every floor is prepared with a large amount of wood and stone to make rolling wood and stones. The range of fire between fortifications is staggered and overlapping. Artillery positions were arranged inside the heights for mortars to provide artillery support, while mountain artillery was concealed on the hill about five kilometers behind, waiting for critical moments to support the front line.
This is already the best belongings that Xia Xinsheng can get his hands on, and if he wants to be better, he has to be able to get the materials. Considering the possibility of facing the bombing of the Fateful planes, Xia Xinsheng collected a large number of things that could produce smoke, set up smoke points at intervals on the position, and prepared enough things to replenish them. All the carpenters in the logistics company made a lot of clay buckets from the timber to ensure that there was a supply point at intervals on the position to store enough water.
The comrades who were blacksmiths gathered the scrap iron they had seized and the steel they could collect to make pike darts and broadswords. As far as the Red Army's current background is concerned, it is estimated that it will be a white-knuckle battle if it is played a lot in the future, and it will be too late if it is not early to prepare for war. Most of the people who remained in the sea built together from the beginning of the battle against the Guizhou army, and did not finish digging the main trench until the Guizhou army was wiped out.
Xue Yuejun's firepower should not be very good, after all, large-caliber ones can't be brought in, and it is estimated that there are only war defense artillery, mountain artillery, mortars, etc., and there are no bombers in the air, it should be fighter jets, of course, at this time, it is still called destroyers, and bombs can't be carried too big. As long as the position is dug well, it is expected that Xue Yue will have to spend a huge price to pass.
Because of the urgency of time, the former commander of Hui Ze carried out an emergency screening of the prisoners of the Yunnan army on the battlefield, and released all the soldiers who smoked heavy smoke on the spot, but pressed the officers, technical troops, and the Qianjun army without bad habits to cover the evacuation alternately. As soon as the smoke-smoking soldiers were let go, the prisoners in their hands were like crops blown by a tornado, and there were not many left. In addition to the dead and wounded and those who fled into the mountains, there were less than 10,000 Guizhou troops left as prisoners, and more than 2,000 were left behind, and it is not excluded that there were many officers and technical troops. It is estimated that less than 2,000 people can really be looked down upon by the Red Army.
A lot of weapons were seized, 7,000 loots, dozens of loads of bullets, and thousands of catties of tobacco. Grain, silver dollars, explosives, radio stations and other supplies varied. The 2nd Battalion of the 61st Regiment, a unit that was too tall for the liberation fighters, carried prisoners and rushed in front with captured supplies, while the troops with fewer personnel were constantly delaying the pursuit of the enemy in the rear.
In this way, under the tossing back and forth, Xue Yue's army was delayed for more than 20 hours, and after the prisoners and supplies were escorted, the blocking troops threw off the enemy army and retreated towards the sea of people. On the contrary, the two sides of the Fruit army did not relent, and a column that came out followed closely behind the rear guard of the Red Army, trying to leave a few pieces of meat with its teeth and claws. As soon as the troops of the Red Ninth Army, which were almost the rearguard, passed through the blocking position of the 61st Regiment, this team slammed into the Xiaohekou position.
