Chapter 322 It’s hard to escape even if you have wings
In the blink of an eye, another day passed and it was noon. Commander-in-Chief Chiang returned to his headquarters in frustration after discussing with Bai Chongxi for more than two hours with no results. Kang Ze hurriedly submitted a report:
First, a deputy commander of the teaching division under Wang Tianpei fled to Bengbu and defected to the commander-in-chief. He presented relevant evidence and confessed that Wang Tianpei received a secret telegram from Li Zongren at noon yesterday. After receiving the secret telegram, Wang Tianpei immediately adjusted his deployment and evacuated all his subordinates.
off the battlefield,
However, two instructors from the former Ninth Army and local armed forces were pushed onto the battlefield. Before the enemy suddenly surrounded its left, they had already begun to retreat to Wuyang in an orderly manner, and planned to lead the three troops of the Tenth Army.
An unscathed direct lineage soldier secretly went to Wuhu and defected to Li Zongren's army;
Second, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the intelligence team received a telegram from the Wuhan government to the whole country, saying that the additional members of the Central Military Commission Wang Tianpei, Lai Shihuang, Fan Shisheng, Wang Pu, Chen Tiaoyuan, Zhou Fengqi, Ye Kaixin, Cao Wanshun, He Yaozu, Tan Shuqing,
Hu Zongduo and Xia Wei were the commanders of each army. Among them, Hu Zongduo from the Second Division of the Seventh Army was appointed as the commander of the 19th Army.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang slumped down on his chair as if struck by lightning, and the report in his hand fell to the ground.
Ge Jing'en, who was sweating profusely, staggered in and reported loudly with a trembling voice: "General... Commander-in-Chief, I have received good news from Bai Jiansheng. An Yi's division arrived in Xuzhou East at 5:40 this morning.
They fought bravely to the west of Yaoji, which was 40 kilometers away, and defeated Sun Chuanfang's 28th Division and the 35th Mixed Brigade in one fell swoop, wiping out more than 1,700 enemy troops.
The enemy troops fled northward to the Longhai line in panic. In order to prevent the division from entering Xuzhou via the railway, An Yi's division followed and attacked fiercely, forcing the division to stop fleeing and rush to fight. Further results will be reported by the independent division...
Commander-in-Chief, please quickly order An Yi to lead his troops to retreat south, otherwise when the enemy encircles you in three directions, the future of your most beloved student will be worrying!"
Chiang Kai-shek slowly raised his head in frustration, his eyes empty. After a while, he suddenly woke up, stood up suddenly, and shouted crazily:
"Quick! Send a telegram to An Yi and ask him to escape! Hurry, otherwise it will be too late..."
…
The sun was like fire, and thick gunpowder smoke came from the southeast. The officers and soldiers on the position felt the hot air and had difficulty breathing. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and they were dried up by the heat wave in a short time.
On the back side of the smoke-steaming hillside, An Yi and his generals were checking the battle situation ahead amidst the deafening sound of gunfire, trying to capture the two highlands in the southeast in the shortest possible time, thereby disintegrating the enemy's defense line and crushing the enemy's defenses.
An attempt was made to build another blocking position behind the formation.
Chief of Staff Zhan Huanqi turned pale and rushed to An Yi's side panting: "Chief Bai urgently called our troops to immediately evacuate the battlefield and move south. The Xuzhou counterattack failed across the board. The area 20 kilometers south of Xuzhou was completely occupied by the enemy in the morning."
, our army’s retreat has probably been cut off.”
"What? What did you say?"
An Yi stood up suddenly, grabbed the telegram and read it carefully, shouting angrily in front of the surprised brothers:
"Fuck me! Why has it been more than six hours since the defeat, but no telegram has been sent to us? The powerful enemy in the southeast of Xuzhou is only thirty kilometers away from my rear station. Even the infantry only needs five hours to rush.
This will seal our army's southward retreat, but why did the General Headquarters just now notify us to retreat?"
Yang Bin also gritted his teeth, but he could still stay awake. He grabbed An Yi's shoulders and shouted loudly: "Xiao Yi, retreat quickly! If we delay for another hour, we will be even more passive after the enemy brings in artillery!"
An Yi calmed down, broke free from Yang Bin's big hand, rushed up the hillside, looked at the enemy positions to the east, and then quickly ran down and ordered loudly: "Old Ding——"
"arrive!"
Ding Zhicheng stepped forward quickly.
"Immediately order you to send reconnaissance detachments to the west and north to report the enemy's situation. You have Dou Fang personally lead a detachment and a teaching brigade to rush to Wangji. Party representatives escorted more than 300 injured brothers to retreat an hour ago.
If you go back, you are likely to be attacked by the enemy. Let the teaching company find them and immediately escort them to retreat south at full speed. You must protect the injured brothers at all costs." An Yi ordered anxiously.
"yes!"
Ding Zhicheng ran quickly to the temporary camp of the reserve team a hundred meters behind.
An Yi signaled Huzi and others to approach, pointed at the map and said loudly: "Huzi, no matter what, we must capture the two highlands a hundred meters apart in the southeast. Only by capturing these two highlands can we pose a threat to the enemy forces in front and force them to
They retreated back again. We can only evacuate our position while the enemy retreats in confusion, otherwise the enemy will follow us and we will not be able to run far. If the Wangji line in the south is really blocked by the enemy, we will be here
The open and flat ground will be in trouble!"
Hu Jialin nodded: "It seems that the only solution is to concentrate the mortar bombardment. After this round, we will not have a few shells left."
"It's important to escape. If your life is gone, why keep the shells? Go quickly!" An Yi ordered anxiously. Hu Jialin stood up and led the adjutant to run to the trench in front of the hillside.
"Lao Yang, go..."
"Urgent report!"
Deputy Zong Xingzhen of the special brigade jumped off his horse and rushed to An Yi: "The enemy troops of about two divisions eight kilometers behind our division are approaching quickly. They are less than six kilometers away from us at the moment. The situation is urgent!"
"Report--"
A fast horse rushed over quickly, and the squad leader on the horse jumped off his horse and reported loudly: "The enemy's newly formed Third Army has arrived at Champa, twelve kilometers to the north, and the large group of troops is crossing the river to go south."
An Yi's face turned pale, his eyes went straight, he turned around twice and stopped: "It's over! Everything is over, we have been surrounded..."
"Xiao Yi, make up your mind quickly, which way to attack?"
Yang Bin stepped forward and grabbed An Yi's arm: "I will go to the independent regiment on the left wing. When Huzi has captured two high ground, we will immediately launch a charge. You must come up with an idea while we are driving away the enemy, otherwise we will
There is a danger of the whole army being annihilated!"
After Yang Bin finished speaking, he slapped An Yi hard on the shoulder and led his adjutants and guards to the front line.
"Report, urgent message from Commander-in-Chief..."
…
Twenty-five kilometers north of the battlefield, Nianzhuang, is the frontline headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Zhili-Shandong Allied Forces.
Chu Yupu stood up from behind the big table, walked a few steps to the large map hanging on the east wall, and nodded frequently in the direction pointed by the chief of staff: "Very good! Very good! Where is the Sixth Army?"
"I received a notification five minutes ago that two divisions of the Sixth Army have arrived at Wangji, the rear station of the Anyi Division, and one of them has arrived here... Anji, six kilometers northwest of Suining County, can be said to be from the west of Suining to Xuzhou
Within 25 kilometers to the east, An Yi's division could not hope to break through the encirclement on the southern line.
After the enemy chief Bai Chongxi retreated across the board, the entire area from the north to the east of Suxian County was under the control of our army. The four divisions drawn by Brother Jingwu (Cheng Guorui) had captured Lingbi and Sixian in the south, even if An Yi's division broke through many
The defensive line fled south, and there was no way to escape from Lingbi to Si County.
All armies have a bitter hatred for the An Yi Division, and this encirclement is aimed at putting them to death. Wang Dong led the two divisions under his command to give up your good opportunity to seize the victory and pursue the victory to the south, and pursue it at full speed from west to east, just to avenge the An Yi Division.
Attack the train and annihilate his main enemy." The chief of staff said excitedly.
Chu Yupu nodded with satisfaction, suddenly put away his smile, and asked seriously: "Who is responsible for the containment in the direction of Sihong?"
"Please rest assured, Marshal Yu. It is none other than our elite cavalry brigade under Marshal Zhang, Zhang Chengzhu, and Zhang Zhenbei. Brother Zhenbei once rushed to our aid during the Battle of Five Rivers. In the end, due to the cunning An Yi, he blew up the reservoir and flooded the battlefield.
He returned without success and had to withdraw from the Wuhe battlefield with hatred after the divisions were defeated one after another. He was full of resentment about this." Qin Shanhu took the initiative to answer before the chief of staff could speak.
Chu Yupu laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay! This time I want to see how this talented general, who is praised by the national military circles as the most outstanding young generation, escapes from the trap of my three armies? Haha!"
The chief of staff smiled and said: "The title of 'General Flying Fox' has been very popular recently! Newspapers from all over the north and south are talking about it in a series of articles. My subordinates also want to see if An Yi has three heads and six arms, or if he is really just one.
Winged fox?"
"When he becomes a prisoner, we can put him in a cage and watch him at will."
Qin Shanhu's words caused a burst of laughter from the generals in the hall. Chu Yupu stroked his long beard with satisfaction and ordered the two divisions stationed in Pi County to prepare for the southward encirclement.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yaoji battlefield.
After several rounds of fierce mortar attacks, the soldiers of the Independent Division successfully occupied two highlands in the southeast. The soldiers of the Second Regiment on the mountainous slopes set up more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and fired fiercely at the enemy troops 200 meters away.
group, one
The soldiers of the regiment and the third regiment roared and charged amidst the loud sound of trumpets, defeating the enemy's positions in one fell swoop. They bravely charged through the scorched earth and enemy corpses, and finally completely defeated the 28th Division of Sun Chuanfang and the 35th Mixed Brigade, which were stubbornly resisting.
.
The morale-defying enemy organization was completely disrupted. More than 8,000 enemy troops fled north and east in a desperate manner. Six thousand brothers from three regiments of the independent division, led by their respective commanders, chased them for three kilometers and fought.
The enemy's 28th Division and 35th Brigade lost nearly half of their battle power and were torn apart and completely lost their combat effectiveness. Only then did the warriors of the Independent Division pick up the weapons and ammunition from the ground and corpses and return to the attack position amidst the sound of the bugle call to stop the pursuit.
In the temporary headquarters, An Yi and his generals were faced with bad news one after another. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Some advocated making a desperate move and concentrating all their strength to break through the enemy's encirclement in the south. Some advocated driving to the southeast quickly, from
To rush out between Si County and Si Hong, some people advocated immediately asking Chief Bai to send reinforcements, attacking from the north and south, and supporting the independent division to break through.
An Yi slowly took out a telegram from his pocket and read it coldly:
"To the Independent Division, An Yi: The entire front line of Lingsi has been occupied by the enemy. All units of our Second Route Army were forced to withdraw from the entire line of Xubeng under the force of the powerful enemy. I hope that your troops will do their best to break through to the east and do everything possible to fight with Commander He.
All friendly forces have gathered together, and the Commander-in-Chief will always be waiting for news from your department and will try our best to rescue you. Bai Chongxi."
The brothers were silent. An Yi smiled sadly and asked in a low voice: "Do you understand? Do you understand now? It is a trap from beginning to end, starting from the Battle of Wuhe, then to Liuquan, and then to Pi County.
In the end, until Yao Ji now, we are all in the calculations of others. I am so stupid!
At the beginning, Lao Yang raised doubts, but I blamed Lao Yang for being careless; Hu Zi raised questions about the contradiction between the ownership and use of our division, but I laughed at Hu Hu and did not wake up; Ji Nan said from the beginning that our position and each
The attack direction of the road army was very uncoordinated, but I thought this was due to the irregularity of the army, and thought that the mountains and rivers could be swallowed up with lofty vision. But in the end, it not only harmed myself, but also affected so many brothers...
No more, no more, besides, the enemies on three sides are coming, I feel sorry for the brothers! But as long as I have breath, I will lead the brothers to fight out!"
"Xiao Yi, stop talking. Every wrong has its owner and its debtor has its owner. As long as we don't die, we will completely settle this debt! Give the order! The brothers are relying on you!" The bearded man with a face full of smoke said through gritted teeth.
"Master, give the order!" The brothers looked at An Yi with sorrow and indignation.
An Yi gritted his teeth: "Okay! Since everyone still trusts me, An Yi, then do as I say. I need absolute obedience. From now on until I escape, or until I die in battle, no one can do anything to me."
If you object to the order, will you agree?"
"promise!"
The brothers answered in unison, but were interrupted by the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Dou Fang rode quickly on his piebald horse and rushed twenty meters away from the generals. The piebald horse, which was at the end of its crossbow, suddenly fell down and died. Dou Fang was thrown high on the horse. Gu Changfeng ran two steps quickly.
He jumped up and hugged Dou Fang, who was falling rapidly. After landing, he was still rolled twice by the huge momentum, which was extremely embarrassing.
Gu Changfeng hugged Dou Fang tightly and climbed up. When he saw Dou Fang's right chest covered with blood, he was so frightened that he shouted loudly: "Xiaodouzi, what's wrong with you? Xiaodouzi——"
Dou Fang smiled miserably, spat out the boiling blood, and breathed hard:
"Brother, Wang Ji was surrounded by enemies. We... arrived, and more than 300 injured brothers were all shot and killed by the enemies... The brothers of the baggage company fought desperately in the midst of more than a thousand enemies. Company elder Pan said...
When the enemy was still five miles away, the party representative and Li Zhengming fled on horseback, leaving behind their injured brothers and the baggage company.
The brothers ran away. The remaining brothers were all good and good. They withdrew to the north and resisted. None of them surrendered. The younger brother and the teaching company were ambushed. The enemy pursued them with heavy troops... It was a cavalry unit, a detachment.
The brothers came back to report the news to cover the younger brother, but they are all gone... Big brother, younger brother... I'm afraid... I won't be a general in this life..."
"Little Douzi——"
Gu Changfeng suddenly tore Dou Fang's clothes, saw his beaten chest, hugged Dou Fang tightly and cried loudly.
An Yi rushed south like crazy, fell to the ground and got up again to continue running. Shen Fengdao quickly caught up and hugged the out-of-control An Yi tightly. An Yi struggled like crazy and yelled at the top of his lungs:
