Chapter 49, Sudden Change in the Battle Situation I
The military training of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions did not stop since the morning, and the military appearance, queue training, and housekeeping to improve discipline were the same as the three things that were interspersed with the study of the "three-three system" tactics during rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info are the most urgently needed assault learning, no one knows when they will be pulled into the battlefield, to practice goodbye, or wait until you come back alive.
This is something that Xia Xinsheng is willing to play, but it is a pity that the defense of the sea of the sea is pressed on Xia Xinsheng's shoulders, and after solving the problem of prisoners, he rode to the position on the east side of the sea to check the layout of the position. If it weren't for Xia Xinsheng's fear of making mistakes and refusing to live, the guards would have to come down and lead the horse away, which was too slow.
The horse is a good Dian horse, and it is estimated that it is not much taller than the fruit horse of the old past, and if there is no stirrup, both feet are about to hit the ground. At this time in China, horses were still the main force in transportation, except for the two big foot boards, which were used the most. If you don't hurry up and practice, it will be too delayed in the future. So Xia Xinsheng rode this little mare and became familiar with horseback riding. It's just that if you learn to ride a horse, it's not as difficult as in the like, not to mention that if you are a scholar riding a Dian horse, it won't take long for Xia Xinsheng to be able to ride a trot. According to the data, the Dian horse can only walk eighty or ninety miles a day, which means that it is in the mountains, and there is more than that.
Slow also has the advantage of being slow, at least Xia Xinsheng rode his horse all the way to the position excavated in the mountains and did not fall once. Later, I enjoyed the feeling of riding a horse. The faster he ran, the more he went, and after more than twenty miles, the horse was not tired. This is the benefit of the Yunnan horse, the first ten miles and twenty miles are far away from other horses, but if it is farther away, the other horse breeds are greatly inferior. If you get to the mountain road, the advantage of the Yunnan horse is greater, "Nanzhong Magazine" contains: "The horse in Yunnan, small and strong, on the high mountain, walking on the dangerous path, although dozens of miles and do not know how to sweat, in order to grow the valley also." ”
After running on flat ground, he turned to the mountain road, slowed down the speed of the horse and meandered, Xia Xinsheng didn't see how hard it was to see the horses under his crotch. Let Xia Xinsheng, who had eliminated the nervousness of riding a horse for the first time, carefully look at this inconspicuous Dian horse. It is said that it is already May, and Huize is not necessarily hot, and the average annual temperature of Huize on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is only twelve or thirteen degrees. Xia Xinsheng sat on horseback and hurried forward, being a little drowsy by the afternoon sun.
It is said that at this time, the battle against the Guizhou army was going on intensely, the Red Ninth Regiment responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat was already in place, the Red Seventh Regiment and the Red Eighth Regiment were also divided into two routes to the north and south, and the Huize column was directly deployed in the east of the Zhihai under the leadership of Chen Geng, and the two regiments of the Guizhou Army had been pocketed on three sides, and it was only a matter of time before this group of enemies was eliminated.
Xiao Jinguang led a battalion to fight really brilliantly, with Zhong Wei, a strong general, and brought the main firepower of the 61st Regiment, and the combat power directly caught up with the old teaching battalion. Xiao Jinguang had the opportunity to go to the battlefield for the first time since the Long March, coupled with Zhong Wei's dedication to the main attack, so the two of them pestered Chen Geng to snatch the main attack task, of course, it is unknown whether there is a desire to take care of the old brothers. Under the strong ideological mobilization of many political work cadres, the entire battalion rushed all the way with a howling wolf cub, and in less than an hour the main position of a regiment of the enemy army was broken.
As long as the Guizhou army sees the cadres and regiments wearing steel helmets, their morale has already reached the bottom, and all the way they are bullying the Red Army, which is desperately short of ammunition, with firepower, how can they have been pressed and beaten by the Red Army with firepower superiority? The cadre regiment was like a hot knife cutting butter, leading the 61st regiment for a long time to break through the position in front of them, and they were stunned to turn the assist into the main attack.
It's just that I don't know why, as soon as Chen Geng and the others started, Xue Yue's Central Army moved quickly, and the 100,000 Central Army rushed straight over in three ways, 20,000 people rushed towards Zy County all the way, and the other two roads rushed to the sea of people from the left and the right, and the speed was jaw-dropping. Judging from the current pace of marching, the two armies will meet in the vicinity of Dajing by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
The four regiments to the east also quickly contracted their defenses at the first moment of engagement with the Red Army, relying on the mountains east of Oi to form an iron barrel formation. In the face of the Ninth Army Corps, which had only more than 3,000 troops, and with a huge advantage in troops, it was spineless and stuck on the main road to defend wholeheartedly, no matter how the two regiments surrounded by the Aizawa column asked for help, they did not have the slightest intention of sending troops to rescue.
The situation became less favorable to the Red Army, and Luo Binghui and He Changgong judged the situation and wanted to quickly retreat the Ninth Army Corps and disengage from contact with the enemy. I never thought that the Qianjun had changed its character, and the Ninth Army moved slightly, as if it had been beaten with chicken blood. As soon as the Ninth Army Corps turned around, it retreated quickly, and the timing was mastered so cleverly that there were obviously masters behind the scenes.
The former enemy command was also unwilling to give up this opportunity to annihilate the enemy's vital forces, and while clearing the outer positions, it sent an urgent telegram to Chen Geng urging him to end the battle as soon as possible and rush to the eastern part of Dajing to participate in the final battle against the Guizhou army. In addition, a telegram was sent to Xia Xinsheng, demanding that a strong force be sent out of the big well to receive prisoners and captured materials.
Xia Xinsheng discussed with Su Jin, and suggested to the headquarters of the temporary column of Huize and the front commander of Huize that the cavalry should be urgently transferred to replace the defense of the second battalion, and the second battalion should march quickly to join the main force of the column, replace the first battalion to participate in the follow-up operations, and the third battalion would organize the remaining political workers to form a supplementary regiment to be responsible for military training and heavy transportation.
In order to avoid unexpected situations, the three battalions of the 61 st Regiment were temporarily assigned to the supplementary regiment, and non-combat units such as the local work section of the cadre regiment were also temporarily seconded to the supplementary regiment, and the lightly wounded and sick members of the Red Army who were not hindered in their movements were transferred to the supplementary regiment.
After the formation was completed, the whole regiment rushed to Xia Xinsheng to rendezvous and participate in the construction and strengthening of the fortifications in the eastern part of Huize Province.
Later, at the strong suggestion of Xia Xinsheng, a guerrilla detachment was formed by the 61st Regiment Combat Engineer Company and its direct subordinate company. Replenish enough explosives, detonators, bullets of unsuitable caliber, gasoline, sugar, glass bottles and other materials and strengthen a radio station, under the unified command of Liu Mengzi, rushed to the east of the well, and used guerrilla warfare and mine warfare along the way to slow down the enemy's movement. Try to buy time for the annihilation of the Guizhou army by a large army.
When the order arrived at Xiao Jinguang, he and Chen Geng combined it to strengthen a mortar and a number of shells for this squad, and an artillery team led by Zhao Zhangcheng followed the action.
It is said that Xue Yue's vanguard is really in trouble this time, first a regiment commander rode a tall horse to swagger on the road, and from time to time waved a horse whip to drive the soldiers to continue to speed up. Zhao Zhangcheng, who had been observed for a long time, was about to die with two shells. A company sent out to avenge the regiment encountered ambushes, traps, cold guns, and mines one after another. Leaving off the small half of the corpse, not even a single human hair was fished.
At the urging of Shangfeng, the deputy regiment commander took over the command and opened again. When the large army came, the explosives on the mountain wall rang out like firecrackers, and the gravel given kinetic energy by the explosives shot at the fruit army like bullets. The men and horses of the small half company became wounded in this way.
From time to time, huge flames were raised, which were incendiary bombs made of gasoline mixed with sugar, and the grenade explosion rained down on the enemy. The fruit army that was close was drenched, and in an instant they turned into several burning men, screaming and scurrying around the ranks, even if they rolled on the ground, they could not extinguish the fire. It wasn't until Guojun's own men hesitated to give a few shots that they stopped, leaving only a burst of echoes in the valley that spread into the distance.
In terms of power, incendiary bombs are definitely far inferior to explosives, and there are only eight or nine people who were burned to death, except for a few who were badly burned, most of them had a few blisters, and it was not a big deal if it hurt. It can be regarded as Xia Xinsheng's kindness, and he didn't add some more powerful things to it, after all, they are compatriots, and the methods that are too cruel are left to more hateful enemies!
However, when it comes to the impact on morale, explosives are far inferior to incendiary bombs. When you encounter explosives, life and death are just a matter of time, and you can't be afraid. It's like this incendiary bomb that exterminates humanity, once it falls on the body, the gasoline can't be extinguished until it is burned, and it's not easy to roll on the ground. Especially the unlucky guy who was drenched, the people on the side didn't move forward at all, for fear of being thrown off gasoline.
The best way is to come up with a meaningful brother to shoot at each other to be free, to meet good marksmanship can go quickly, but to shoot the big living people rolling all over the ground and throwing sparks around, no one really has the certainty and such a hard heart to kill with one shot.
The screams rang for several miles, and the soldiers in front and behind couldn't hear it, and a dozen charred corpses fell on the side of the road, with heat and green smoke swaying in the air. The lingering smell of meat fills the air. Even veterans who have played warlord melee have not experienced this, and most of them lie on the side of the road and vomit bile.
The forward troops no longer dared to march recklessly, and if they didn't send a few people up to explore it carefully, they wouldn't even be able to walk the way. When the squad put cold guns, they no longer sent troops to clear it, and they lay on the ground one by one and fired a shot without a shot for a while, and waited for the other party to feel bored, and after retreating, they slowly got up and continued to march.
But this still can't escape someone injured, and if you don't pay attention, the soles of your feet will "snap" and be drilled into by bullets from under the soles of your feet, and if you are lucky, you will leave a transparent hole, and the unfortunate thing is that the bullet is not strong enough, and it is stuck in the bones. From time to time, people clutched their feet and screamed and fell on the side of the road.
