Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of the Huai River

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At this time, the commander of the 130,000 crusading army of the two major provinces of the Yuan Dynasty was the governor of Henan Governor Jia Dunxi, who had fought against a Tusi in Yunnan two years earlier, that is, in 1346 AD. Now that the republic is blatantly reversed, the Yuan Dynasty has abandoned the original idea of throwing rats. The decision is to smash Jiangnan to pieces, and to make the anti-thief Cheng Pan pay the price. At this time, the vanguard of the Yuan army was already fighting with the cavalry of the communist army on the north bank of the Huai River.

Compared with the all-out efforts of the Yuan Dynasty, the Gonghe Army is also fully prepared here. Many generals under Cheng Pan gathered together at the same time as He Cheng, He Feng, Zhu Zitiao, and a series of experienced officers in war. After discussion, these officers unanimously decided that the main force of the opposing side must be destroyed in a battle, but there is no stupid enemy in the world that will encircle you. The only way to do this was to send a large number of cavalry to harass the war.

Now Huaibei has started a small war of horseback shooting. In the evening in the camp of the Yuan army, Jia Dunxi looked at the battle damage of the cavalry with an anxious face, and lost 2,000 cavalry on his side in the distance near the Huai River. And the opponent's battle losses are very low, as for how low. Jia Doushi can deduce from the table sent by his own troops without the slightest level, as for the nonsense of his subordinates "fighting to break through and kill hundreds of enemies, and it is impossible to count the number of enemies killed in the chaos", Jia Doushi automatically filtered it. Tong Guò actually inquired like a returning knight, and he learned that the enemy was using a powerful assault gun-like firearm that could be operated by one person.

Due to the lack of understanding of the enemy's situation, Jia Dushi's division was stationed in Yingshang County, on the north bank of the Huai River. The Compits were unaware of this situation, and the Comflibrian wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible, so he had to stop here. Compared with the backward supply of the Yuan Dynasty to maintain a huge consumption of 100,000 people, the communist army can not afford to consume, the main army has been dragged in this place for a long time logistics supply not to mention, once the Yuan army in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan has taken action, the follow-up actions of the entire communist army will be interfered with by Yanzhòng. Supplies will not be able to guarantee the Deng-6 war a month later, and the military operation in the Beijing-Tianjin area will be postponed for a year.

All the generals of the Compa did not expect this situation. A group of straight-hearted servicemen knew a lot about the technical problems of how to win the war, but how to get the hesitant enemy army south. These young soldiers were at a loss for words. In fact, this is all to blame on Cheng Pan, the military concept that Cheng Pan instilled in them is to fight the past in a dignified manner, and sneer at ancient strategies. Well, Cheng Pan's version of the military school and the six major Japanese universities cause the same reason for the stiff thinking of students, and they are all products of blind obedience under authority. No, Cheng Pan is not the old stubborn veterans of the Japanese 6th Army, as a self-aware person, Cheng Pan never thinks that he is an all-round talent. Therefore, Cheng Pan can still accept good opinions with an open mind. Just when Cheng Pan and the Communist Army were having a headache over the current strategic stalemate, Wang Tianzhu, the leader of the foreign trade group, thought of a way to break the situation.

After three days of confrontation between Jia Du and the Communist Army across the Huai River, some rumors came out of the mouth of the previously defeated Yuan army, these Yuan soldiers were not defeated, but released after being captured by the Communist Army, there are many versions of these rumors, the most famous two are two, the first type Jia Du Division was defeated by the Communist Army, and now he is afraid of the enemy. The second is that the Communist Army and Jia Dushi have an agreement to take the Huai River as the boundary. These rumors spread all over the Yangtze River and Huaibei. Of course, people like Prime Minister Tokhtar saw at first glance that this was a clumsy counter-plot. But there are many suspicious people in this world, such as the emperor and the Mongol nobles in the court, who used the money that originally supported their pleasures to support the rehabilitation of this army. Now that the army was consumed so much on a daily basis, the nobles began to care about the country's finances, and some impeachments began to appear.

With his current authority, Prime Minister Tokh overwhelmed the dissent of the court, and after withstanding the pressure, Tokhoff wrote a letter to Jia Dunxi, persuading him not to care about these rumors and to fight steadily, but vaguely mentioned that the current court finances are not easy, and I hope he can understand the court. When Inspector Jia saw the letter, he sighed, and he stayed alone in the barracks all night. Originally, this kind of rumor reached his ears, and Inspector Jia had already considered this situation, and now the letter from Tokhtar made him sure that the situation was the same as he imagined, and the court distrusted him. In this case of the Son of Heaven's decision, as long as he is away from the Son of Heaven for a long time and there is no one in the court to speak for him, it is only a matter of time before he falls out of favor. I have to say that Wang Tianzhu's move is too poisonous. Jia Dunxi, who was not originally Mongolian, was naturally guarded by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. Now this rumor hits the bull's-eye. At this time, the commander of the 130,000 yuan army was forced to the point of having to fight.

On December 13, 1348, the Yuan Dynasty rebels began to cross the Yellow River after nine days of stagnation, and at the same time as they learned of the actions of the Yuan army, all the members of the officer corps of the Communist Army cheered after learning the news, and He Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, ordered the whole army to retreat ten kilometers, and at the same time ordered the cavalry regiment to closely monitor the enemy's movement across the river, but not to disturb the other party's crossing of the river.

In winter, the amount of water in the Huai River is not urgent, and after the pontoon bridge is erected, the army of the Yuan Dynasty began to cross the river, and the process of crossing the river was very smooth, which made Jia Dushi, who had been worried about being attacked by the half-crossing, breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, it would have been better if there were no republican cavalry watching nearby.

At this time, Cheng Pan had already arrived in the army, and He Cheng, who was on the side, persuaded with a bitter face: "Sir, although you are an extraordinary person, this job of delivering letters is still a different person, right?" Cheng Pan looked at them and said with a smile: "This job really shouldn't be done by me, but now a fearless person must be needed to send a war book to invite the enemy to a decisive battle." People are afraid of death, but only if I go will I be unharmed, does the Yuan army still have the combat power to slaughter Jiao? At this time, Zhu Zitiao on the side said: "If this trip is bound to die, in exchange for you not going to take risks, I am willing to go." Cheng Pan said with a smile: "You don't have to persuade me anymore, this is my last time to take risks, after this battle, our communist army is invincible, but now for the complete success of the battle, I must go on this trip."

At noon, the Yuan army, which had completely crossed the river, was camping to prepare for an enemy attack that would come at any time. At this time, Cheng Pan, who rode alone, entered the sight of the Yuan army, and soon dozens of cavalry surrounded Cheng Pan, at this time Cheng Pan said loudly: "I am the envoy of the communist army, please see me as the commander of the Yuan army" The centurion in the cavalry who surrounded Cheng Pan said: "The envoy of the thief army? county tied up". So Cheng Pan was tied up by this group of people and pushed into the camp of the Yuan army, along the way, Cheng Pan looked at the seemingly fierce faces of the Yuan army with a flat attitude, and in Cheng Pan's sense, the faces of more Yuan Dynasty soldiers in the distance were with a trace of uncertainty about the future fate.

Soon, Cheng Pan, who was tied with a rope, was pushed under Jia Dunxi's tent, and several soldiers who escorted Cheng Pan wanted to force Cheng Pan to kneel several times, but Cheng Pan didn't want to kneel, and no one could force him. The last two soldiers were in a hurry, and so many generals in the big tent couldn't do this little thing well. The two of them exchanged colors and began to kick at the joint between Cheng Pan's calf and thigh at the same time, this scheme is feasible for creatures in the human category, but Cheng Pan's body belongs to the category of monsters. When the two soldiers began to move their feet, Cheng Pan kicked them with his feet faster. The two unlucky children flew directly three meters away, and at the same time a rope was broken away. This scene shocked everyone in the big tent. All the generals drew their weapons and pointed at Cheng Pan. Cheng Pan's face did not change (no one would be afraid in the face of a group of guys with chicken-like combat effectiveness) and said: "Is this how your army treats guests?" Inspector Jia whispered a word to the left and right and began to say to Cheng Pan: "Your Excellency is so bold and good at kung fu, let's say what do you want to do when you come here today, you won't be here to surrender, right?" In Cheng Pan's keen hearing, he already knew that Jia Dunxi had just asked the two of them to go out and call someone. But Cheng Pan didn't break it and said straight to the point: "My communist army asked the general, you choose the location of the decisive battle tomorrow, can the general dare?" In the face of Cheng Pan's questioning, of course, Jia Dunxi couldn't fall into momentum and said: "At noon tomorrow, 2o kilometers northwest of Gushi County will wait for your army" Cheng Pan said after receiving the answer: "Okay, I will say goodbye" Jia Inspector said: "Slow". Cheng Pan pretended to be puzzled and said: "What else is the matter with the general" Jia Dunxi said gloomily: "It would be rude for Your Excellency to come empty-handed, please leave something for Your Excellency" Cheng Pan said strangely: "What is it?" Jia Dunxi shouted: "It's just one ear." Cheng Pan said: "What if I don't want to" Jia Inspector said: "Then I can't help Your Excellency" As soon as the words fell, four tower-like men walked in with heavy step armor and maces in their hands. Cheng Pan thought in his heart, "Sure enough, it's a barbarian, and he doesn't talk about diplomatic etiquette at all" The four big men surrounded him, and Cheng Pan suddenly appeared in his hand and took out the heart refining sword from the sea of knowledge. A sword swing kills four people. Before everyone could react, he raised his sword and rushed forward, crossed a distance of ten meters to Jia Dunxi, and stabbed out with a sword, and one of Jia Dushi's ears was cut off. Cheng Pan ignored the shouts of the four middle school people and said with the power of the sun: "If you want to insult me today, I will take one of your ears, Jia Dunxi, if you are a man, see you on the battlefield tomorrow." With the blessing of the sun's power, this sentence spread within a radius of five hundred meters. Half of the barracks could hear that someone was deliberately slapped in the face.

So ignoring the other Cheng Pan Shi Ran left, in the process of leaving the big tent, several thousand commanders came to kill Cheng Pan, but their weapons were stabbed to death by the Heart Refining Sword before they touched Cheng Pan. When Cheng Pan left the big tent, Inspector Jia shouted hysterically: "Leave him, leave him for me."

So Cheng Pan went out of the tent and killed in the camp step by step, Cheng Pan did not choose to jump in the face of the dense Mongolian soldiers, but committed the second illness, and wanted to live a good life of a hero's addiction. Well, he doesn't want to be a hero, he just wants to abuse people, Cheng Pan took out a cannon from the sea of knowledge, yes it is a cannon, this slut slapped the ignition port with the power of the sun, and the power of the sun of hundreds of degrees quickly ignited the gunpowder in the cannon chamber, and under the impetus of the gunpowder gas, the shotgun hit the crowd, and the result was simply madness. The person in front of the shotgun at such a close range was completely beaten into a sieve, and the ferocity was ferocious. And Cheng Pan, who was holding the artillery, suffered a huge shock force after the artillery fire, and the muscles of the whole body were slightly strained. So Cheng Pan comfortably enjoyed the pleasure of successfully resisting tyranny, and joined the Yuan army in a chic and free manner

The camp jumped and fled.

On the second day, the Battle of the Huai River officially began. The infantry group of 40,000 men of the Communists marched to the battlefield with high morale. At the same time, the Yuan army also arrived at the battlefield. Looking at the Communists, whose numbers were far less than their own, the Yuan army regained a trace of confidence in victory. Jia Dushi, the supreme commander of the Yuan army, was a little absent-minded because of the haze left in his heart yesterday. Noon was fast coming, and the huge cavalry group of the Yuan army was ready to charge. However, the battle routine had been changed by the Communists, and 800 artillery pieces began to bombard the enemy two kilometers away, and such a large artillery group was comparable to Prussia in the Battle of Sedang in 187o.

At this time, the difference between the Yuan Army and the Communist Army was not just an era. The shrapnel baptized the Yuan army like a rain of steel, and the Yuan army swept away by this iron rain was either dead or wounded, and the main force of the Yuan army's charging cavalry group of up to 20,000 people was taken care of before it was wielded. Immediately, Zhu Ziti immediately saw He Cheng looking at him with resentful eyes.

Jia Dushi was caught up in the mind of this unprecedented shelling scene in human history. He seemed to be stupid, and the corners of his mouth kept saying, "How can this be? "The barrage of shelling is gradually approaching, and the other generals of the Yuan army can no longer care about their commander. Finally, Jia Dunxi sat stupidly on the ground and was beaten into a mess of minced meat by the black raindrops that fell towards this side, and the supreme commander of the Yuan Dynasty's counterinsurgency army, Jia Dunxi, was killed. The artillery stopped firing after firing a base of 12 shells for a total of 9,600 shells per gun, and this shelling completely wiped out one-third of the total number of shrapnel brought by the northward march and one-twentieth of the total number of shrapnel produced in the year. The effect was that half of the Yuan army in the south was killed and wounded, and the rest completely lost the courage to fight.

The infantry assault began, the charge horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Communist Army sang the military song of the People's Liberation Army of the original time and space "Our team to the sun", and began the sweeping work of beating the water dogs. Interpret the simple offensive teaching of artillery conquest and infantry occupation". Under the fire of the rain of bullets, the Yuan army, which had just survived the horrific shelling, once again faced the soldiers of the Communist Army who were spraying flames and harvesting human lives. The Yuan army, which had long lost the courage to fight, was no longer a unit at this time. The group of refugees ran frantically northward, and the Communists pursued unhurriedly. In the end, the Communists drove them to the edge of the Huai River. Fight to the death? This gang of unarmed defeated soldiers who have lost their armor and lost their armor have lost the qualifications to resist, and they want them to realize the afterlife of those who died in the military book, unless they are all infected with the T virus and become zombies.

In the end, the 40,000 remnants of the defeated army did not know who took the lead, and the whole shore knelt together. The Battle of the Huai River, the Communist Army achieved complete success. Under the huge generational gap formed by advanced weapons, the communist army and the Yuan army fought a 1:400 battle loss ratio in the war. Now Huainan West Road has lost its offensive mentality after a siege tragedy, so there is no war on the eastern front, and the southern front is flanked by Fangjiajun, and there is not much war at the junction of Jiangxi Province. The Yuan army on the northern front has been wounded and will not have a problem in a short time, and at this time only the Yuan army on the Hunan and Sichuan sides, which is skillfully balanced with the communist army, remains. The Communists had already developed a military advantage on the Western Front.

The 40,000 captured Yuan troops were given one tael of silver each under the prisoner policy formulated by Cheng Pan. The news of the victory of the communist army spread rapidly, and several Yuan Dynasty troops in the western part of the republican government, which were originally ready to seize the merit at any time because of their desire to preserve their strength, quickly retreated after receiving the news and played to the imperial court, and the enemy offensive was strong, and they were defending with all their might.

The court of the Yuan Dynasty is now in chaos, and Cheng Pan, a big butterfly, has blown a storm in this time and space. Tokhtar was impeached and removed from office. In the Yitian plot, the little prince who wanted to marry Zhao Min, his father Antu Timur seized power. This Antu Timur ranks the seventh hereafter referred to as the Seven Princes, the Seventh Prince, he seized power by defeating the Battle of Tokhtar, this person is a traitor in the plot, but he is not a fool. After learning that Cheng Pan used artillery to win the war, the Seventh Prince ordered to start casting cannons, and at the same time ordered Henan Jiangbei Province, as well as all southern provinces, to grind with the Communist Army, not to defeat the Communist Army, but to delay the Commune Army to the north, and to exchange time for space and the Communal Army.

I have to say that this Seventh Prince is still very smart, if he is doing this to engage in the communist army, it will be a little troublesome, but the power of Zhongshu Province has weakened at this time, and the control of several provinces has been reduced, counting on a few southern provinces to make trouble for the communist army? There is a saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you can be perfunctory to your superiors, you can be perfunctory.

However, due to logistical problems, the communist army did not go north from the six places, and the Henan and Jiangbei provinces completed the task perfectly.

The phased war came to an end, but Cheng Pan's purpose in this war was to fight for ten years of peace. And so the next phase of the operation began.
