Chapter 439: Bloody Battle
The enemy army retreated all the way, wanting to retreat into the defense of Osmanthus City.
Who knew that the independent regiment pursued tightly, and the tail chased into the city, and the enemy army could not gain a foothold in the city.
In desperation, he could only pass through the city, retreat thirty miles, and run until he reached Hesheng Bridge to stabilize his position.
It's not that the already frightened rout suddenly has morale. Instead, Wu Ziyu, the current boss of the small station department, personally led 30,000 reinforcements to come, and laid down three lines of defense at the south gate of Jiangxia, and the defeated troops finally had a place to hide.
The independent regiment repaired in Osmanthus City for two days. Two days later, the commander-in-chief, Rui Yuan, took a train from Chibi to Osmanthus City to boost morale.
After the troops were repaired, the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army made a joint attack, marching until the evening, when they were blocked by the artillery fire of the first line of defense of the Wu Army at Guanbu Bridge.
The Wu army set up a crane wing formation and gathered fire to attack the Northern Expeditionary Army.
This can't be surrounded by people, and immediately the Fourth Army hit the left flank, and the Seventh Army hit the right flank, compressing the two protruding wings of the Wu army.
The two protruding flanks were easy to fight, and now the enemy hedgehogs gathered together and concentrated near the Henggou Bridge.
This was the most elite unit of the Wu army, and its number was larger than that of the attacking Northern Expeditionary Army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army felt quite difficult to attack for a while.
Zhang Xianghua, commander of the 10th Division of the Fourth Army, Miao Jingcheng, commander of the 12th Division, and Lan Di, commander of the Independent Regiment, got together to study strategies against the enemy.
At this time, it was already dark, and Randy heard Wu Jun firing his guns all night without a target in the dark, and immediately stood up, "The elite of the Wu army is just like that, and the battle ahead has made them frightened.
They fired their guns all night, indicating that the soldiers were nervous and panicked.
If we continue to confront them like this, they will hold on to the danger, and maybe their morale will slowly recover.
Our troops are in full swing, and if we stop in front of the enemy's formation, we will be discouraged.
Although our army is small in number, it is strong in combat.
If you want to break through this large mass of enemies, it is the best strategy to fight with them, and you should attack one point, break through in the middle with a dignified formation, and then divide and encircle. ”
Miao Jingcheng was also a general who fought all the way from the platoon commander, and immediately patted his chest, "The Tingsi Bridge operation in front of the Tenth Division is the main attack, and there are more casualties, this time we will fight the vanguard." ”
Randy laughed, "Our independent group is the vanguard hand-picked by Senior Brother Ruiyuan, of course we came."
Division Commander Miao answered my left flank, contacted the Seventh Army to answer the right flank, and Division Commander Zhang answered in the rear, so I think it's decided. ”
Randy, you don't think you're good at arranging troops, but you're very talented at observing enemy situations on the battlefield and capturing fighters in ever-changing battle situations.
This is the moat, the only place to attack Jiangxia, and there is no way around. The elites of the two armies met in a narrow way, and since our army was better trained and morale than the enemy, we should take the opportunity to decide the level.
At dawn the next day, when the Wu army, which had been trembling all night, was sleepy, with a roar from Ah Hua, the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, the vanguard of the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army, went straight from Yanglintang to the middle of the Wu army.
The saint-level charged against the rain of bullets on the battlefield, causing a great psychological shadow to the enemy army.
In fact, even if Ah Hua can defeat a thousand with one, if the morale of the defenders is high, they can exhaust Ah Hua to death.
McMahon, the old marshal of New Frank, rushed into the camp of the demon army and was captured with all his might.
However, what the defenders lacked was morale.
This is not the kind of national war between the New Franks and the demons, the Wu army, who was a soldier and ate food, met the soldiers of the independent regiment who had the members of the dragon group as the backbone, full of ideals and passion, and had no desperate thoughts at all.
Ah Hua roared, shook more than a hundred people, and rushed into the enemy formation with machine guns, and the Wu soldiers turned their heads and ran, not daring to compete with them at all.
The well-organized enemy formation was suddenly rushed out of a gap, and a battalion of soldiers followed up with bayonets and quickly entered hand-to-hand combat.
This kind of bayonet battle is the most test of people's will, under the leadership of Ah Hua, the invincible arrow, the morale of the pioneer battalion is high, and it breaks through the enemy's battle line at once.
A battalion charged a large formation of more than 10,000 people, and the enemy retreated head-on, but fell into a three-sided encirclement.
The enemy did not dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the pioneer battalion, so they mobilized all their artillery fire and set fire to the vanguard battalion from three sides.
The pioneer battalion immediately suffered heavy losses and suffered a slight demoralization.
Randy personally led two battalions to immediately reinforce him, and shouted in the array, "When this prince fights bloodily, there is no advance or retreat. ”
The independent regiment was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the middle and killing the Wu army at once.
Seeing that the enemy army had been divided by the independent regiment, the 12th Division of the 4th Army was on the left, and the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Army was on the right, and they all came up together.
Qingjiang water, Ganjiang water,
The flow into the Yangtze River is full of tears.
The martyr died at Hesheng Bridge,
Live in the world for thousands of years.
The Independent Regiment faced off with the enemy and rushed into the center of the enemy's elite army, suffering the heaviest losses.
But under the leadership of Ah Hua and Randy's two sharp knives, they will not retreat.
In hand-to-hand combat, Ah Hua abandoned the machine gun and replaced it with a big knife, roaring again and again.
Randy leaps into enemy lines, slinging and slashing one after the other.
Under the leadership of the two invincible generals, the entire independent regiment has been in a state of madness on the battlefield of death, wedged into the center of the enemy army.
Inspired by the fighting spirit of the Pioneer Independent Regiment, the friendly troops on both flanks drew their broadswords from behind and fought the enemy hand-to-hand.
After several repeated tug-of-wars, the most elite force of the Wu army finally collapsed in morale and was defeated all at once.
The first line of defense of the Wu army was broken, and the Northern Expeditionary Army pursued the rout, and reached the second line of defense, the dangerous Hesheng Bridge.
The Wu army set up three lines of defense, just because there were many soldiers, in fact, the elite of the Wu army were gathered on the first line.
The first line of defense has been lost, the elite has turned into a rout, and the most difficult battle has passed.
Wu Ziyu, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, never expected that the elite who relied on the Great Wall would be so inextricably beaten, and he was annoyed and angry.
He personally led the supervising team, the broadsword team, and the machine gun team on the bridge, and strictly ordered the officers and soldiers not to retreat.
But the defeat was complete, and the rout was scattered.
Wu Ziyu was furious when he saw this, and ordered the machine gunners to strafe the rout, and more than ten commanders of the blade regiment hung their heads on the telephone poles to show the public.
He also ordered Chen Xianting and Liu Tieshan to lead the big knife team to go to the front line to supervise the battle in eight routes.
The rout retreated with no way out, so they simply opened fire on the Warlords. When the enemy army was in chaos and fighting each other, Randy had already led his troops to attack the bridgehead.
Wu Ziyu saw that the general trend had gone, and fled by special train.
The special train passed the bridge, and the soldiers climbed up one after another, and the guards scolded it to no avail, and cut off the arms of the climbers with knives.
For a time, the Wu army was either captured alive by the Northern Expeditionary Army, or jumped into the water and died, or was run over by a train.
The so-called natural danger, without a morale soldier guard, is a joke.
In the battle of Hesheng Bridge, the elite of the Wu army was lost.
The Pioneer Independent Regiment and the 12th Division, which was desperately attacking, suffered heavy casualties and repaired on the spot.
The follow-up troops followed up to pursue the defeated troops of the Wu army, and the third line of defense was in vain, and the Wu army was chased to the city of Jiangxia.
