Section 5 Counterattack (4)
At night, the mountains are quietly covered, and the choking smoke is blown away by the mountain wind. There is only the fragrance of wild flowers mixed with a faint smell of blood in the air. This peace and tranquility make the soldiers fighting between life and death slightly relaxed their nerves.
Compared with the soldiers on the front line, the soldiers at Nodaguchi were considered happy. They didn't have to go to the battlefield to fight, and there was also a small house that could shelter from the wind and rain. Several soldiers standing guard at the intersection leaned together boredly, muttering in a low voice about the news from the battlefield today, and a machine gun was installed on the fortifications.
The low house emitted a faint light, and low sounds came from the room. Several officers were still talking about this unlucky war. The rushing progress at the beginning, and the desire to retreat to the present is unacceptable. The changes are so fast that it is hard to accept. These lower-level officers are not even prepared for their mentality.
The sentries did not notice that dozens of figures were carefully passing through the woods in the woods. They stopped at the edge of the woods and looked carefully at the town. After a while, three figures quietly took out the woods and touched the entrance of the town.
"Bang." A crisp gunshot pierced the silent night sky, "Damn!" Zhang Lihui punched the tree trunk, which must have alarmed the opponent's secret whistle: "The first team is on the left, the second team follows me, and the third team follows afterwards and orders the artillery to open fire! Go!"
After saying that, Zhang Lihui took out his pistol and walked forward, while the others quickly followed. Zhang Lihui walked out of the woods, and the Forward Company had already fought with the enemies in the town.
"Boom," "Boom," the shells fell into the town with a sharp roar, splashing sparks. The defenders' machine guns soon became dumb, and a large group of black shadows rushed out of the flames to assault the town.
The fierce gunfire was running far away in the empty dark night. An Enpu, five or six miles away, woke up from his sleep. He hurriedly got up and rushed outside the house: "Where is shooting?"
"Report to the chief, it seems to be Nodaguchi." The staff officer replied hesitantly. Although the gunfire sounds at night were crisp, the direction was not easy to judge.
Nodaguchi An Enpu's head suddenly buzzed. It was their main traffic route to the Jinsha River and must not be lost.
"Reinforce Nodaguchi immediately." An Enpu shouted loudly: "Order the Special Services Camp and reinforce Nodaguchi immediately!"
An Enpu felt numb. Could it be that the other party really wanted to eat him? Where was the troops attacking Nodaguchi? While thinking about it, there was another rumbling sound of cannons coming from the mountain ridge on the left. Then there was also a sound of cannons coming from the front position.
"Okay. This is coming for me." An Enpu cursed in a low voice. The situation is very obvious now. The other party wants to eat him first and then deal with Sun Du.
"Order the front line to stand. Whoever loses the position? It is judged by military law!" An Enpu shouted. In the few days of fighting, his land was greatly reduced. Less than 5,000 people could participate in the battle. He was assigned to his land troops. He also lost more than 2,000 in the past two days. However, he believed that the enemy on the opposite land had also suffered great losses in the past few days. At least nearly 1,000 people were lost.
Like An Enpu, Fan Hanjie and Wang Guobin also came to the front line to supervise the battle. Night battle is an important subject in the training of the guard team. Especially those under Zhuang Jihua, the old subordinates of Niu Xing, who came out of the bloody battle. They are very impressed by Niu Xing's night battle and great functions. So they are both in the first division and in the escort team. Night battles are the key subjects in their troops. This attack. The guard team clearly shows that they are better at night battles than the opponent.
Both the Model Brigade and the Liu Zhengfu Brigade were defeated by the guards' rapid offensive. In the dark night, countless figures rushed towards the position. The sound of charge and the whistle sounded in the valley. Bullets cut through the dark curtains of the night sky, burning the air, dragging its long tail, and rushing towards them with a sharp roar. When the guards rushed into the position, the soldiers of the Yunnan Army immediately collapsed.
Charge, break through, follow up. The guards continued to attack. The model brigade officers began to try to fight back against them. But soon they discovered that in the dark, they were no match for the guards at all. The guards fought more savvy than them. The soldiers had stronger tactical awareness than them.
The cannon sound continued for a night, and An Enpu was tortured all night, and the defeats were frequently reported. Nodaguchi lost, the company commander of the defender was killed, and the counterattack of the guard battalion was defeated. It was found that Fan Hanjie's troops were quietly transferred to this side by Fan Hanjie from the side facing Sun Du. An Enpu secretly scolded Sun Du for being incompetent, and the enemy was calmly mobilized under his nose. He didn't notice it. An Enpu was in a hurry all night, defending, counterattacking, and defending; by dawn, he found that he had been busy all night, and the enemy had surrounded him.
After fighting hard all night, Zhang Lihui fought from right to left and met Fan Hanjie who fought from left and right at Houer Ridge on the west side of Nodaguchi. At this point, they grabbed An Enpu tightly in their palms.
After An Enpu found out that he was surrounded, he was not panicked, but quickly organized a circular defense line centered on Xiangu Peak, and then he began to ask Long Yun and Sun Du for help.
Long Yun was shocked when he received the report and immediately sent Sun Du to rescue An Enpu immediately. At the same time, he criticized Sun Du for wandering and avoiding the war. "The number of enemy troops is several times different from mine, but our army has been defeated repeatedly, and the situation on the battlefield is passive." He asked Sun Du to reverse the situation immediately and defeat the Sichuan army and guards stationed in the Huili area with a resolute attack, so as not to embarrass the Yunnan army.
After receiving the telegram, Sun Du was ashamed and frustrated. He knew that he had been deceived by Fan Hanjie yesterday and did not discover his troops were mobilized in time, which led to An Enpu being suddenly attacked.
Sun Du, who woke up, immediately commanded the troops to launch an attack. This time it was no longer slow, but stormy ground.
When Long Yun and Sun Du were frustrated, Dechang's Zhuang Jihua, Du Yuming and Yang Yongtai were happy.
"It depends on the follow-up troops now. I ordered Gao Kuiyuan and Situ Fei to speed up their pace and tell them that every minute now is exchanged for the brothers in Huili area."
Long Yun now feels that the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable. Zhuang Jihua seems to be entrusted with him in the Huili area. The model brigade's surrounded attack on him can be said to be devastating.
Since the Yunnan Army made great contributions in the National Protection War, it has rarely participated in wars in other provinces and regions. When Tang Jiyao was in power, the Yunnan Army still had an advantage in Sichuan. Later, it was attacked and the main factor was that the internal division was the internal division. Therefore, the Yunnan Army was very arrogant and believed that although the Central Army was strong, the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan Army was definitely not weaker than that of them. Moreover, after Long Yun took office, he imported a large number of weapons and ammunition from France, and the Yunnan Army was among the top in the entire ** team.
But this battle made Long Yun understand that the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan army was not so reliable. Zhuang Jihua had not even used Chongqing troops, so he was passive in the Huili battlefield. Now he had to spend time saving the main force trapped in Huili.
"Telephone with Chairman and ask him to stop Zhuang Jihua's actions." Hu Ying suggested: "At the same time declare that he would accept Zhuang Jihua's conditions."
"Please connect to the whole country. Accuse Zhuang Jihua of provoking disputes between the two provinces. They did not attack Japan, but instead came to attack us." Zhang Chong's face was a little weird.
"I'm afraid this won't work. The battlefield is currently in Huili, and that's in Sichuan." Hu Ying retorted, and Zhang Chong was speechless.
"I think this is the case, wait first and see if Sun Du can help An Enpu." Long Yun waved his hand in dismay and asked them to leave.
Although Zhang Chong's suggestion was good, the fatality was unexplainable; Hu Ying's opinion was difficult for him to accept. Not only did he have to punish those Yi people, but he also had to pay compensation, which was simply a shame.
But two days later, news came from the meeting. To be precise, news came from Jiaopingdu. The floating bridge was bombed and the logistics supply of the front troops was interrupted. Long Yun had to seriously consider Hu Ying's suggestions.
The floating bridge was blown up by the Xiaobailong team. After they ambushed the Yunnan Army's transportation team, the Yunnan Army strengthened its transportation force and reached a battalion every time the troops were escorted, which made them unable to start. Xiaobailong simply took his people to smuggle into Yunnan.
As expected, the Yunnan Army's defense in Yunnan was very relaxed. They attacked two transportation teams and one troop station in succession, forcing the Yunnan Army to strengthen its defense in Yunnan. However, the main forces of the Yunnan Army were sent to Huili, and only one regiment was drawn from the garrison brigade of Jiaopingdu and several security regiments were added to protect the traffic line.
After receiving the order to blow up the pontoon bridge, Xiao Bailong led his team to move to the vicinity of Jiaopingdu. They lurked near Jiaopingdu for two days before they found an opportunity before dawn and broke into the ferry and exploded the pontoon bridge.
However, this battle caused him to lose two team members, and Xiao Bailong felt very angry. In anger, he led the team to retaliate and attacked a transportation team. But this time he encountered a tough problem. There was a camp force responsible for escorting them. They disguised themselves as security teams, and Xiao Bailong was fooled. He fought hard for three hours and lost nine team members before he escaped.
Long Yun delayed four days before sending a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, but his tone was still very tough. He said that if Zhuang Jihua did not stop military operations, he would mobilize the whole province of Yunnan to fight him to the end. At the same time, he also hinted in the telegram that if he forced it to the forbidden situation, he would join forces with Guangdong and Guangxi.
This time, Chiang Kai-shek was not deceived, and Zhuang Jihua never responded, but Long Yun called on his own initiative, which was already a problem. However, Chiang Kai-shek still didn't want to force Long Yun to the side of Guangdong and Guangxi. He wanted Long Yun to give in, so he waited for two days.
Two days are enough, enough to decide the end of a war, and enough to decide the final outcome of the battlefield.
Situ Fei arrived at the Huili border three days earlier than the original plan. Strictly speaking, it was not all his troops, only one-third of the troops arrived at the Huili border in Huili.
The anxious Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be overjoyed after receiving the telegram. In the past few days, the telegram sent back from Huili front became more and more urgent. Sun Du rushed to the Sichuan Army's position like crazy. After two days of hard work, Yang Yinglong's troops finally collapsed and the remnants fled into Huili City. Then Sun Du used some troops to restrain Liu Yuantang, and the main force launched an attack on Fan Hanjie's troops, and sent a brigade to launch an attack on Zhang Lihui's troops.
An Enpu has experienced many battles and of course he understands that this is the only chance to escape from heaven or even turn defeat into victory. He tried his best to draw 2,000 people to attack Zhang Lihui.
Zhang Lihui was not afraid of the attack of the Yunnan Army. He used one team to block An Enpu from the breakthrough area, and another team two companies blocked Sun Du's troops, and the rest acted as reserve teams.
But after fighting, he realized that the deployment was wrong. The battle was far beyond the fighting spirit of breaking through and surviving. The model brigade was in desperate situation and exerted amazing combat power. He defeated three small hills in a row within a day, and then launched an attack on the main position. In the afternoon of the same day, he rushed to the position to fight with the guards. After one day, the blocking team suffered one-third of the casualties. By noon the next day, Zhang Lihui had to transfer the reserve team in his hand to suppress An Enpu's offensive.
