"No matter what, the defense cannot be defended. Lijiacun must be captured! Only by continuing westward and returning to Nanfengkou will we have a way to survive!" Soon, the leading general of the Dahua Army figured out the serious relationship between this.
If the troops were stationed immediately and defended in the wilderness, maybe the whole army would not be in chaos, but the next thing would be troublesome.
No matter how you look at it, they are surrounded in the same pocket as Xicong's Dahua troops. It is obviously stupid to return to Xicong the same way. There is definitely no way to survive. They must break out!
There is no choice in the direction of breaking out, only Lijiacun! Capturing Lijiacun and fighting all the way back to Nanfengkou is their only choice.
"General! How can this...this...how to fight this?" A general looked embarrassed and asked sadly with his hands spread out.
They all know what their troops are like. They have been filled with complaints along the way, and their morale is already on the verge of collapse. It can recover a little when they return to Nanfengkou, but if they fight in a place like this, their troops will probably be able to defeat themselves.
Disbanded.
"Assemble the best! Choose the most capable ones from each army to attack! We can't back down! We can only attack Lijia Village in one go! Fight for a way for ourselves to survive!" The Dahua army general who led him clenched his fists and encouraged everyone loudly.
.
"Every time we take a step forward, we are getting further and further away from our country! If we are really surrounded, the hundreds of thousands of troops will be in doom!" The more he spoke, the quieter the surrounding area became, and everyone followed his instructions.
, figured this out.
If they break out of the siege, they can escape. But if they can't break out of the siege, wouldn't it mean that they are surrounded by the Tang State?
What's even more frightening is that they don't even have time to stop and recuperate and gather their troops: because every time they delay, the Tang army in Lijiacun may become stronger.
"General! I'm going to the 204th Division to have a look! Immediately organize troops to attack! No matter what, Lijiacun must be taken back!" A general volunteered to go to the front line to supervise the battle and quickly take back Lijiacun occupied by the Tang Army.
While he was speaking, the commander of the Tang Army in Lijia Village had already ordered the tanks to leave the village and continue to attack the Dahua troops eastward.
They fought all the way without encountering almost any resistance, and only wiped out less than two companies of enemy garrison troops in Lijia Village.
Before they could send out their own reconnaissance troops to continue marching eastward, they encountered the vanguard of Dahua's retreating troops: the 1st Regiment of the 204th Division.
As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the village. The Tang army's vanguard quickly defeated the Dahua army's vanguard and drove the opponent out of the village.
Because the battle ended so quickly, the defeated regiment of Dahua's army did not even see the size of the Tang army.
According to the experience of the Dahua Army, they believe that the Tang Army here will only have one armored battalion and dozens of tanks at most.
But what they didn't know was that the Tang Army here was actually a tank regiment, plus an armored grenadier regiment, a reinforced artillery battalion, and an additional armored reconnaissance battalion.
This is equivalent to saying that the Tang Army behind Lijia Village has almost a division of troops, and there are more troops gradually moving closer here.
After all, the Tang Army was also preparing for an offensive war, so a large number of troops were assembled. With such a superior force, the commander of the Tang Army would certainly not wait for the enemy to come to Lijia Village. His mission was to take the initiative to attack!
Therefore, after hitting Dahua's vanguard force head-on, the Tang army immediately crossed the barrier of Lijiacun and deployed its troops in a more spacious area behind.
Then, under the cover of armored vehicles and wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles of the armored reconnaissance battalion, these tanks crashed into the ranks of the Dahua army who had not yet figured out what happened.
These Dahua troops were still in a hurry. They just received the order to stop where they were, and they were standing on the road to rest. Then like lambs they saw the Tang Army tanks rushing along the road.
The huge body of the opponent's tank ran over the crowded crowd, and the machine guns fired continuously, knocking down the Chinese army who had gathered together and had no time to escape.
The people under attack started making noise, but the people behind them didn't know what was going on. These soldiers who had been complaining about traveling in the rain soon discovered the crueler side of the war.
"Run! The Tang Army is coming!" Finally, the matter could no longer be concealed. Someone screamed and started pushing and running towards the roadbed.
Under the roadbed are the Dahua troops who have just prepared to set up camp and bury the pots to make rice. This is also a way of setting up camp for the army on its way.
It was originally an opportunistic way to do things in advance, but it turned into a complete disaster at this time.
The broken troops on the road began to attack these camps, and tanks from the Tang Army were crushing them at the other end of the camps at the same time.
Some of the dizzy officers began to run away subconsciously, and the tanks of the Tang Army were like rhinoceroses, destroying everything.
The Dahua soldiers who attacked the camp trampled on each other, and then grenades fired by the tanks followed by the Tang army exploded in the crowd.
Dahua soldiers further away also immediately realized the danger after seeing the explosion. Their first thought was not to fight back, but to follow the rout in a panic.
Dahua's army has lost its restraint, and the officers can only flee as they see their own troops disintegrating. In fact, they don't have the courage to stay. In this situation, they are more willing to go with the flow.
The whole thing became out of control from this moment on, which is why the Tang army commanders believed that their troops could easily defeat the Dahua troops in the wild.
Armored troops have the same advantage as cavalry when attacking enemy troops in this kind of movement. This scene is exactly the same as when the German army ran into the hurriedly mobilizing French army in the field during Operation Sickle during World War II.
A large number of French troops could only raise their hands and surrender, because they could not outrun the tanks, nor could they defeat the tanks...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The situation in front of you is also the same. A large number of Dahua troops abandoned their armor in the collapse, and countless people knelt in the mud and raised their hands in surrender.
Because there were so many people, even the Tang army was unwilling to stop and take a look at the surrendered Dahua troops. They just left a few people in a hurry to guard these enemies who had long lost their will to fight, and the rest continued to follow the tanks and armored vehicles.
Rush forward.
The commander of the Dahua army standing on the high ground closed his eyes in pain, because he had just ordered the deployment of troops to retake Lijiacun, and the Tang army disrupted all his plans.
What made him even more desperate was that looking at the scale of the Tang Army's attack, this was not a small force of the Tang Army at all, but a main force of the Tang Army.
Just seeing hundreds of tanks and armored reconnaissance vehicles appear on the battlefield at the same time, he knew that he was finished and everything was finished.
"General..." The adjutant looked at his commander with a cry in his eyes, and persuaded him: "Leave quickly! There is still a chance to escape among the chaos."
"Go? Where to go?" The leading general gave a bitter smile: "If we leave today, where can we go? Return to Xicong? What if we survive for two days?"
He asked a series of questions, which made his adjutant speechless. So he waved his hand more sadly and said casually: "You go! Go back to Xicong... I'm not leaving, and I'm not going anywhere.
It’s right here.”
As he spoke, he pulled out the pistol from his waist, and to everyone's shock, he pointed the gun at his head.
"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bloody pistol fell into the mud next to a pair of muddy military boots. Then the military boots shook and fell down together with their owner.
Seeing his chief officer commit suicide, the adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't bother to look at the body in the mud, and turned around and ran into the distance.
The unattended war horses neighed in fright at the sound of cannons. Beside the abandoned cannons, ammunition boxes on the overturned carriages were scattered on the ground.
The 150 mm caliber howitzers that were finally accumulated and purchased and manufactured from various places are now no longer used.
The Tang army that fought out of Lijiacun was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart of the Dahua troops, and like a hot knife stabbing into butter, it melted any Dahua troops it encountered.
The Dahua troops on the two wings began to collapse, and those near the center began to surrender in large numbers. The entire battlefield was filled with wolves crying and ghosts howling, and there were tragic scenes everywhere.
The soldiers whose feet were stuck in the mud didn't even have time to escape. They were pushed down by the tracks of the tanks that were running over them and were crushed into meat patties.
Blood was mixed on the muddy road, turning almost the entire road into blood red. In the fields in the distance, upside-down tents were everywhere, and corpses piled on the roadbed were so densely packed that the original color of the soil could not even be seen.
.
Soon, the tanks no longer ran over muddy roads, but corpses in the mud. Mud hung on the tracks, and the mud was mixed with blood, and the blood was wrapped in the mud.
A light rain fell in the sky again, seeming to cry for the tens of thousands of souls scattered. In the rain, the cries and gunfire were shrouded in a misty mist, and everything became unreal.
It was like a mime, gradually fading away.
By the time the remnants of the 200,000 troops were defeated and retreated to Xicong, there were not even 50,000 left, and all this happened a few days later. Dahua's senior commanders still don't know about this.
The defeat of the family village.
At this time, Qian Jinhang was still sleeping beautifully, and Ding Hong was also having sweet dreams at Nanfengkou. In his dream, Ding Hong also dreamed of the scene of 200,000 troops returning to Nanfengkou. At that time, he became
The hero of the entire Great China Empire.
It was he who saved Southeast from defeat, and it was he who defended the vital southern oil fields. When he returned to the imperial capital, he was on an equal footing with Feng Kezhi, and even Shen Chuan called him "General" when he saw him!
