The person who shot Ou Zhen was naturally Chen Dayong, the commander of the Third Guard Regiment of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
Chen Dayong saw that the enemy was under his nose. How long would it take if he didn't fight now? He raised his pistol and shot an officer on horseback in the enemy's team. Unexpectedly, the guy was about to dismount, and his body
Yifu, dodged the bullet. Chen Dayong was very upset. He didn't expect that he would also fire the gun. It seemed that he still needed to practice his marksmanship!
With the sound of gunfire, the soldiers on the third regiment's position who were already ready to fire immediately fired the triggers. Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles were all spraying bullets. Mortars also started shooting.
With "boom, boom" sounds, the artillery shells hit the marching team of the 90th Division, which was already in chaos.
Ding Zhuodong's soldiers began to show off their power. With the combat experience in Qingxi Town, they became more skilled in operations.
When the third regiment started, the soldiers had already pushed away the cover. Ding Zhuodong waved the small flag in his hand, and the cannons were loaded. With another wave of the small flag, the fuse for firing gunpowder was lit. Soon
Quick. A dozen explosive packets were launched, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, falling into the enemy group and exploding. Once a large area was exploded, a dozen explosive packets exploded, and there were very few people within a radius of tens of meters.
Able to stand.
It should be said that among the generals of the Central Army, Ou Zhen, the commander of the 90th Division, is relatively familiar with the Red Army. He was originally a battalion commander of the 34th Regiment of the 12th Division of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and this regiment is also known as
Ye Ting Independent Regiment. Later Ou Zhen was promoted to the head of the 71st Regiment and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. However, when the Nanchang Uprising troops were on their way south to Guangzhou, Ou Zhen led his troops to defect before the formation, causing heavy losses to the uprising troops. Therefore, Ou Zhen not only had great influence on the Communist Party
He is very familiar with the bravery and fearlessness of the Red Army, and also knows what will happen to him if he falls into the hands of the Red Army. His comrades will never forget his name.
When the gunfire rang out, Ou Zhen leaned on his horse, his mind spinning rapidly. Are the red bandits trying to block or ambush and encircle him? Do they want to block his progress or want to eat him? Soon, the sound of mortars
He woke up. This was definitely the main force of the Red Bandits. There were so many heavy machine guns and mortars. They must have ambushed the 59th Division in Qingxi Town. The main force of the Red Bandits of the 93rd Division repeated the same tricks and used their own 9th Division.
Shishi is like another pot of fragrant meat dishes!
He secretly looked up and saw that within a short time, his leading group was already in a state of chaos. Looking back again, he saw that the red bandits used who-know-what weapons to blow up a large area. Now Ou Zhen finally understood that the three Hunan soldiers
How did the 93rd Division, the 59th Division, and the 93rd Division end? Under such firepower, it would be a miracle to escape alive. If you choose to resist or attack on the spot, I am afraid that the opponent's back tricks will be used.
, there will only be one ending, and that is to be annihilated.
Ou Zhen hurriedly ordered the vanguard troops to organize a resistance, the rear troops became the front troops, and the entire division quickly retreated towards Yuping.
When the order was given, Ou Zhen discovered that no one took the order. His officers died extremely quickly, and there was a bloody hole on their foreheads. The blood was mixed with brains. It was indescribably disgusting, cruel, and ferocious. The adjutant had just been ordered to
After passing the order, the adjutant was dead. There was no other way, so we had to withdraw first! I hope that when the soldiers saw the division commander withdrawing, they would follow him.
As soon as Ou Zhen pulled the horse's head, he hid in the stirrup, turned around and ran backwards. As he ran, he shouted: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, retreat backwards!"
This sentence took a long time to write, but in fact it was very short. Ou Zhen basically ran back during the first wave of shooting from the Third Guard Regiment, which shocked Chen Dayong, who was eager to fight on the position, and he cursed
The stubborn Central Army is slipperier than a loach.
Don't tell me, when the Central Army retreated, it really had its own tricks. The soldiers bent over and ran away with their heads down, ignoring the bullets behind them. It didn't take long, and the 90th Division just withdrew from the hail of bullets.
Come down.
After the troops retreated 500 meters and left the rifle range of the Red Army, Ou Zhen stopped his horse. When he saw the troops, he almost cried with distress. In just a moment, his 90th Division lost one-third of its soldiers.
They were all like eggplants beaten by frost, crawling in piles of three or five on the road or on the icy snow on the hillside.
Now the location of the 90th Division was right where the 3rd Company of Engineers had buried explosives. He Mingliang was so impatient that he couldn't do it. He asked for instructions several times to detonate, but was stopped by Liu Yimin.
When Chen Dayong saw that the Central Army had withdrawn and that the division commander's first and second regiments did not attack, he ordered observation posts to be left behind, and the troops quietly withdrew to the woods behind the mountain to hide and wait for the Central Army to launch an attack.
This is how the troops learn war in war. According to the past combat habits of the Red Army, when the 90th Division retreated, it was the time for the soldiers to jump out of the trenches to pursue them. But since Liu Yimin's arrival, from the leading company of the 34th Division to the 18th Red Regiment,
In today's Central Guard Division, cadres have learned many new combat methods and command skills from Liu Yimin. During the last battle at Xikou, Hu Laohu decisively ordered to stop shooting after the first wave of attacks, and the troops moved to the back of the hill.
The Tao Guang 62nd Division of the Hunan Army was fooled, and Hu Laohu received special merit for this. Chen Dayong was the commander of the main force and had very rich combat experience. He could see at a glance why the division commander assigned Hu Laohu special merit. Therefore,
He did not order the troops to pursue and avoid exposing the soldiers to the enemy's guns. Instead, he followed suit and ordered the troops to retreat.
According to Ou Zhen's original intention, he was to completely withdraw his troops and get out of the dangerous area. However, his wish came to nothing. Wu Qiwei led Liang Huasheng's 92nd Division and Huiji's first detachment up, followed by Xie Pufu.
The Fifth Division and the mortar battalion of Zhou Yanbin's tax police regiment.
When Wu Qiwei saw the soldiers of the 90th Division crawling motionless on the snow with their butts stuck out, his good temper turned sour, and he asked Ou Zhen why he didn't attack and advance.
Ou Zhen said with a cry: "Military seat, our division was ambushed by the Red Bandits and suffered heavy losses. The Red Bandits' firepower was too strong and they couldn't rush through."
Wu Qiwei laughed angrily, and after he finished laughing, he said: "Mr. Ou, open your eyes and take a look. Where are the red bandits?"
Only then did Ou Zhen realize that the red bandits had stopped shooting. Not only was it quiet on the hillside, but also on the highway. Could it be that the red bandits retreated after fighting for a while? Impossible, the firepower was so fierce just now.
Why did he disappear so quickly when he was trying to swallow his own posture?
Picking up the telescope, Ou Zhen looked at the hillside carefully. There were indeed no red bandits, and there was no sign of building a position. These damn red bandits were always like this, they would fight if they could win, and they would run away if they couldn't.
Seeing his main force coming up, he slipped away with his tail between his legs.
Ou Zhen sighed, and said to Wu Qiwei: "Military seat, the firepower of the Red Bandits was really fierce just now. One-third of our division was lost, and several regiment commanders were killed. I'm worried that the Red Bandits will attack the Qing Dynasty."
Just like the battle in Xizhen, they surrounded our division and then ordered the retreat."
Wu Qiwei shook his head and said: "When did my Fourth Army become a coward? As soon as the enemy blocked the attack, they retreated quickly. Fortunately, they did not pursue them in tandem. Otherwise, I'm afraid your 90th Division would have been gone.
It exists!"
These words were so serious that Ou Zhen felt his face suddenly burst into flames, and he shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, military commander, the 90th Division is not a coward, we are still in the vanguard!" He turned around and turned around!
The troops were urgently organized into two regiments, and an acting regimental commander was appointed. They were determined to take the lead in occupying the hilltop with one regiment, and the other regiment as the second echelon to resolutely capture the hilltop.
Seeing that Ou Zhen's deployment was satisfactory, Wu Qiwei ordered his artillery and the artillery battalion of the tax police regiment to establish positions to provide fire cover for the 90th Division.
Zhou Yanbin commanded his artillery battalion to open fire first. After all, they were professional artillerymen who had been trained for a long time. The shells landed very accurately, sending trees and bamboo branches flying on the hillside. Seeing that there was no movement on the hillside, Ou Zhen waved
The two regiments attacked the hillside.
The hilltop on one side of the road is not very high in altitude and is arranged neatly. It does not take long, and the soldiers of the 90th Division quickly climbed up. Wu Qiwei led Ou Zhen, Liang Huasheng, Xie Pufu, and Huiji several division commanders
Hidden next to the rocks beside the road, they watched the battle with binoculars. Seeing that the soldiers were about to reach the top of the mountain, several people were ecstatic. It seemed that the Red Bandits had really withdrawn.
The sudden burst of gunfire on the top of the hill completely shattered the dreams of several people. Seeing that the regiment of the 90th Division attacking the top of the hill was littered with casualties, and those who were still alive were chased by bullets and rolled down the hill, Wu Qiwei was furious and ordered
Artillery covered the hilltop, and the 90th Division was ordered to press forward across the entire line. The 92nd Division was ordered to immediately charge along the road and bypass the hillside.
The troops shouted again, and Ou Zhen went into battle shirtless this time to supervise the battle in person. The 92nd Division moved forward, preparing to rush through the hillside when the 90th Division launched its charge, and headed straight for Yangping Town, facing
The Red Army guarding the top of the mountain formed a pincer attack.
Just when the 90th Division and the 92nd Division were acting together, Liu Jian took action.
When the 90th Division was blocked by the 3rd Regiment just now, Liu Jianshe was about to take action, but through the telescope, he saw the large troops behind the 90th Division. Thinking of the division commander's fighting style, Liu Jianshe held back and watched the enemy's main force fighting with them.
The 90th Division merged, and the 90th Division launched an attack but was repulsed. Then the troops of the 92nd Division began to move forward. At this time, the attack is most likely to severely damage the enemy and cause the enemy to collapse. Hit the snake at the seven-inch mark.
, Liu Jianshe gave an order, and the artillery battalion on the other side of the river spoke.
The first to fire was the mountain artillery battery of the artillery battalion. After a test fire of the six mountain guns, they quickly corrected themselves. Then the six shells accurately landed on the enemy artillery position. Immediately, the artillery position was shrouded in smoke. Without waiting for the enemy artillery,
After reacting, the artillery shells fell one after another. Retreat! Zhou Yanbin had no choice but to give the order to abandon the position. The artillerymen who were lucky to be alive carried the artillery, carried the artillery shells and carried the shell boxes, and hurriedly moved.
This was the beginning, and then the nightmare came. The mortar company of the artillery battalion began shelling, with twenty-four shells at a time, hitting the enemies on the road. Chaos immediately began on the road, and the officers
The shouts and the cries and curses of the soldiers were intertwined.
If the artillery shells brought chaos and flying limbs, then the heavy machine gun fire that followed was a real harvester of life. On the mountainside on the other side of the river, dozens of heavy machine guns spit out tongues of fire, turning the road into a
A living hell on earth.
Overhead was a group of artillery shells like meteors, and at the waist was a rain of bullets like a cold wind. The 92nd Division, the first detachment, including the 5th Division that arrived later, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were on the human flesh washboard composed of artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets.
The top is kneaded and kneaded until it becomes elongated and soft, then balled up and released, just like the dough under a chef's hand.
Several division commanders crawled up to Wu Qiwei, and Liang Huasheng bravely said: "Military seat, our army is suppressed on the road and cannot move. If this continues, everyone will be killed or taken prisoner."
Ou Zhen became more courageous. Such powerful firepower showed that he had indeed met the main force of the Red Bandits. His previous retreat now seemed to be correct. If he had retreated earlier, there would not have been such a big loss. Seeing Liang Huasheng make a suggestion
, Ou Zhen continued: "Military seat, the firepower of the Red Bandits is too fierce. If we don't retreat, we will be doomed!"
Wu Qiwei did not hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly to the enemy: "Withdraw!"
Then, after thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Leave one regiment of the 90th Division to continue attacking and entangle the red bandits. The 5th Division is in front, the 92nd Division, one detachment is in the center, and the 90th Division is in the rear. The whole army retreats quickly.
Report to Commander Xue and ask him to send troops to meet us and order the air force to dispatch to block possible pursuit by the Red Bandits."
Several division commanders followed the order and left, except Ou Zhen.
Wu Qiwei patted Ou Zhen on the shoulder: "Brother, if you want to be more open-minded, as long as the troops withdraw, there will be more troops, and I will be responsible for replenishing them for you."
Ou Zhen then left sadly.
As soon as Wu Qiwei waved his hand, the guards rushed forward to protect him and retreat first.
Wu Qiwei did not expect that Ou Zhen did not return to the army. Instead, like him, he turned around and ordered the 90th Division's special agent battalion who was crawling on the road to avoid the rain of bullets to protect him and rush out.
Just as the Central Army was retreating, Liu Yimin waved his hand downwards.
He Mingliang had been impatient for a long time. When he saw the division commander's order, he immediately ordered the detonation. Violent explosions suddenly sounded on the highway. The soldiers who were hit by the explosion were thrown high, and their broken arms and legs fell into the Wuyang River.
A few waves appeared, and then they drifted away with the water.
Wu Qiwei, who had already escaped from this section of the road, heard the explosion and looked back, his eyes full of fear. If he had been escorted by guards and left first, he would probably have to leave an arm and a leg behind. The Red Bandit Yin
There are constant attacks, and you don't know what else is waiting for you. Hurry up and leave this unlucky place.
He was indeed right. Just as the Central Army was retreating despite the rain of bullets, Liu Yimin led the 1st Guard Regiment and the 2nd Guard Regiment and rushed out of the forest and slammed into the Central Army.
Liu Yimin rushed to the front with a submachine gun. Behind him were the first battalion of the first regiment and the fourth battalion of the second regiment. The second battalion, the third battalion, the fifth battalion, and the sixth battalion followed closely behind. The light machine guns and submachine guns in the front of the team were all facing each other.
Shooting across the central army's front.
When Liu Jianshe saw that the division commander led the first regiment and the second regiment to fight out, he immediately ordered the firepower to be transferred and focused on attacking the vanguard of the enemy's retreating team, trying to keep them all behind.
Chen Dayong, who was guarding the top of the mountain, saw the division commander rushing out and knew it was time. He ordered all the buglers to blow the charge horn and led the three regiments to rush towards the 90th Division at the bottom of the mountain.
This time the enemy was completely in chaos. It was just that the main force of the Red Army came out to wipe them all out. The arrogance when attacking the Soviet area was gone, the arrogance when chasing the Red Army all the way was gone, the majesty of the Central Army was gone, and the military style and discipline were not mentioned.
Throw the cannon when it is in the way, throw the gun when the gun is in the way, take off the grenade in the way, take off the cotton-padded clothes in the way, the horseman is in front, the horseless person is behind, weeping all over the place, cursing father and mother, panicking like a bereaved dog, risking bullets
Yu, stepping on the bodies of his companions, fled towards the road he came from.
Seeing that the enemy's large force had rushed out of the effective fire range, Liu Jianshe ordered the artillery fire to shift again and opened fire at the 90th Division, which was cut off behind.
Just now, when the artillery battalion and heavy machine gun battalion of the Guard Division were covering the road with fire, the remaining troops of the 90th Division were attacking the hilltop to avoid being hit by fire. When Chen Dayong led the third regiment to rush down the hill, they happened to collide with the 90th Division. Now
, the elites of the Central Army and the elites of the Red Army directly faced each other.
When the officers and soldiers of the 90th Division on the hillside saw the Red Bandits rushing out, they immediately fired their machine guns and submachine guns, and the Red Army charge team was stunned.
When the commander of the third regiment's fire support company saw that the main force's charge was blocked, he immediately ordered the mortars and heavy machine guns on the position to concentrate their firepower to clear the way for the main force. Artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets were fired down the hillside, beating the soldiers of the 90th Division.
Can't lift my head.
When Chen Dayong saw that the 90th Division was fighting to the death, he knew that he had encountered a tough opponent. With an order, the soldiers threw grenades down.
The vanguard group of the 90th Division that attacked the top of the mountain finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to withdraw.
When another regiment of the 90th Division on the mountainside saw that the main force had withdrawn and the Red Army was pursuing it, it knew that it was alone and abandoned. The regiment commander Ou Zhen temporarily appointed was very tough. He used the terrain cover to lead the troops to fight for their lives.
Shoot and cover the advance group's retreat.
Chen Dayong was extremely anxious. He knew that if he could not kill the remnants of the 90th Division and let them retreat, they might pose a threat to the First and Second Regiments led by the division commander. When the enemy's main force understood that the division commander and the others were not the main force of the Red Army, they would
It may be possible to counterattack against the first or second regiment, or to attack from two to one, and the consequences will be serious. Of course, even if Chen Dayong is killed, he will not believe that these idiots from the Central Army can take care of his division commander. Who is he? He is resourceful and brave.
, it is estimated that the person who can defeat him has not been born yet.
He wanted to return to his thoughts, but his hands would not stop for a moment. Chen Dayong ordered the seventh battalion, which was his third battalion, to immediately organize firepower and charge downwards. The eighth battalion led the cavalry battalion to charge to the left wing, and the ninth battalion led the heavy baggage battalion to charge to the right wing.
, the whole regiment used machine guns and grenades to open the way and kill the remnants of the 90th Division.
It seemed that the Red Army was about to launch a thunderous attack. After the two regiments of the 90th Division merged, they began to fight and retreat along the hillside.
Although they are said to be two regiments, they have actually suffered heavy casualties. After the first ambush and the continuous attacks on the mountains, the remaining members of the 90th Division now only have about 3,000 people. The problem is that these two temporarily appointed regiments
The commanders are more powerful. They all worked as platoon leaders in the 90th Division after graduating from Huangpu. They have a certain prestige among the soldiers, and their charisma comes out at critical moments.
The hillside was covered with bamboo trees and the terrain was complex. The 90th Division was fighting and retreating along the hillside. Chen Dayong and the Third Regiment really couldn't do anything to them. The Red Army was chasing and fighting along the hilltop, and the National Army was retreating on the hillside.
Fighting back, the two sides entangled like hide-and-seek, fought fiercely, and suffered increasing casualties.
At this time, Liu Jianshe's firepower arrived, and the brothers of the 90th Division immediately knew what fire coverage meant. The branches and bamboos hit by the shells flew in all directions. If you are not careful, the flying branches can kill people. 9
The officers and soldiers of the 10th Division no longer cared about fighting with the Red Army, and began to escape desperately along the hillside. They ran away, leaving corpses and wounded people behind, and staged a victory escape in the jungle in advance.
Chen Dayong led the third regiment to pursue all the way along the mountain. Seeing that he could not catch up, the first and second regiments led by the division commander also began to retreat, and then the pursuit was stopped.
Liu Yimin led the first and second regiments to pursue the enemy along the highway. They did not even want the prisoners who surrendered their guns. They just stared at the enemy's main force and chased and beat them for five or six miles. Take a look.
The enemy group had already passed the mountain bay, and then the troops were ordered to stop the pursuit and quickly return to clean up the battlefield.
Xie Pufu's Fifth Division was the first to escape the bitter sea because of its position at the back. The losses were relatively small and the organization was still intact. Originally, Liu Yimin's First and Second Regiments all gave up their heavy weapons in order to attack the enemy's main force. If
If Xie Pufu could quickly organize his troops and return to attack, he might be able to inflict heavy losses on the Red Army, which had escaped heavy fire cover. At the very least, he could stop the Red Army from continuing to pursue and reduce the Central Army's losses. However, the defeat was overwhelming and they were frightened by the Red Army's firepower.
How could Xie Pufu, who had lost his courage, think of organizing his troops and turning around to fight back? There was only one word in his mind, which was to escape. The faster the better, the farther the better.
After escaping for 20 miles, I heard that there were no more gunshots from behind, and then I remembered to organize the troops and organize defense.
After several soldiers who took the lead in escaping were shot to death and the momentum of escape was curbed, Xie Pufu's Fifth Division of the Central Army finally stabilized the front. By the time Wu Qiwei arrived, Xie Pufu had already begun to organize soldiers to dig trenches.
Wu Qiwei saw that the troops had stabilized their position, rested for a while, and heard that there was indeed no sound of gunfire in the distance, and his energy recovered. He began to find several division commanders to organize and gather the troops. He was busy until the sun was about to set, and the troops finally
Completion of gathering and concentration.
Looking at the dilapidated troops, Wu Qiwei couldn't help crying. He didn't expect that he failed like this and was defeated by the red bandits. His column had four divisions and a division-level detachment, the 59th Division and the 93rd Division.
It was over, and no one came back. In the end, the 90th Division only returned more than 2,000 people, losing three-quarters. The 92nd Division and a team also suffered heavy casualties. In one day, my own troops suffered such heavy losses.
How to explain to Commander Xue and the commissioner!
Just as Wu Qiwei was wailing, two divisions led by Xue Yue and Zhou Hunyuan as rearguard arrived.
