The entire battle situation was exactly as expected by the general of the First Group Army. As the Fengxi and Zhilu armies suffered successive defeats and lost morale, the progress made by the revolutionary army groups can be described as "rapid". Yan Xishan's Third Group Army left
In front of the army, the enemy commander-in-chief Zhang Yinwu occupied the entire city and attacked Feng's army.
The suppression of the right wing of the Baoding defenders became more and more intense. Coupled with the non-stop offensive of the Third Army's right army on the Wangdu front line, Feng Yuxiang's three armies of the Second Army attacked fiercely from the south. The whole force commanded by Feng Army Marshal Zhang Xueliang
This line of defense is already shaky and may collapse at any time.
At nine o'clock in the morning on the 29th, the Nanjing Central Government and the General Headquarters of the Revolutionary Army indeed issued an emergency order: all the former enemy armies were on standby when they entered the lines of Jinghai, Yongqing, Gu'an, and Changxindian to avoid diplomatic disputes.
!
As soon as this order came out, Feng Yuxiang's Second Army could only temporarily suppress his strong desire to "enter the city first and become the king", and temporarily adjusted the direction of the attack. While encircling Baoding from the south and east, he attacked Han Fukju, the Sixth Army in the southeast of Baoding.
He led his troops to suddenly turn around and fight to the east, occupying Li County in one fell swoop, which the Zhenwu Corps of the First Army had quietly encircled in a roundabout way, thereby completely disrupting the offensive pace of the First Army.
Fang Zhenwu stood on a hillock more than ten kilometers north of Li County and was so angry that he led his two armies to walk all night. Just when he was about to encircle the county seat of Li County, he watched the fat man in front of him being rushed up by Han Fuqu.
After swallowing it, you can imagine the anger in his heart. Full of grievances, Fang Zhenwu immediately called Zhu Peide and An Yi to complain. He also wanted to go to the city to have a good argument with Han Fuqu. Unexpectedly, the telegram he referred to arrived soon:
The fourth army was ordered to go north at full speed and capture Gaoyang City, which is 17 kilometers to the north. Then, without stopping, it continued to rush east for 27 kilometers, captured Renqiu, and rested briefly to wait for the next order to coordinate with the second and third troops.
The legion launched a siege against the enemy defenders in Cangzhou!
After receiving the order, Fang Zhenwu asked his subordinates to take out the map and look at it again and again. Suddenly he came to his senses and no longer bothered to chat with Han Fuqu. He led more than 35,000 soldiers under his command to kill Gaoyang in a mighty manner. It only took half an hour.
He defeated a brigade of the Lu Army in Gaoyang, looted all the enemy's supplies in Gaoyang City, and quickly headed eastward again.
An hour and a half later, Pang Bingxun, commander of the 20th Army of the Northwest Army, led his troops into Gaoyang City. Looking at the empty town, he stamped his feet and shouted that he was late.
After receiving a call from Fang Zhenwu to capture Gaoyang and march east, Zhu Peide immediately ordered the Second Army to attack quickly according to the adjustment plan. The Second Army, under the command of General Chen Tiaoyuan, launched across the board, the 37th Army attacked Leling, and the 31st Jinhan Ding Army attacked Qing.
Yun, General Chen Zhuo's 26th Army marched north from Ningjin, and fought with General Xia Douyin's army on the middle road.
The 27th Army attacked Nanpi; General Fang Dingying commanded two regiments and one battalion of the independent division in the center, with more than 4,000 soldiers, marched north from the left wing of the 27th Army, surrounded Dongguang Town, and ordered Acting Army Commander General Mao Bingwen to lead the 40th Army
Attack Wuqiang. At this point, the first group army, which had been quiet for nearly a week, finally kicked off the third phase of the battle.
At 5:30 in the morning on the 30th, Han Fuqu, who had easily captured Li County, learned that Fang Zhenwu's troops had gained nothing and had moved north. Knowing that he no longer had any worries about enemy attacks from the north, he immediately led two divisions of the Sixth Army to move lightly.
Keep up the good work and kill
After having a full meal in Suning, more than 18,000 officers and soldiers quietly left Li County at two o'clock in the morning. After three and a half hours, they traveled 18 kilometers to Liujiatun in the west of Suning City. The entire army stopped advancing for a short rest and prepared to attack.
Suning launched a surprise attack.
At the same time, the Zhilu Allied Cavalry Brigade with more than 3,000 troops stationed in Hejian quietly drove to Suning City. After conferring with the garrison of a brigade, it immediately divided into two groups, the north and the south, and quickly disappeared in the darkness before dawn.
among.
Several torches were lit in the open ground outside the west gate. Zhang Chengzhu, a burly and unshaven major general of the Zhilu Army, and Li Jinlong, deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, surrounded by three hundred cavalry, rode out of the city and came to the northwest where they were pinned to the ground.
In front of the two scouts of the army, they glanced at the stubborn scouts and rode forward with disdain. Two "clicks" came from behind them quickly, and the heads of the two scouts rolled far away.
Zhang Chengzhu didn't even look back. He waved the riding whip in his hand to the west, making a clear sound of breaking through the air. Hundreds of horsemen mobilized and followed him to the north.
At 5:50 in the morning, Han Fuqu, who had finished his rest, had not even had time to form his team when he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves approaching. Han Fuqu was shocked and immediately got on his horse and shouted that the entire army should form a formation on the spot to resist the enemy.
The cavalry made a sneak attack, but it was too late. Zhang Chengzhu's cavalry brigade had already rushed in from the north and south. The dust and smoke stirred up by thousands of cavalry instantly covered up the weak morning light, and the unique firing sound of carbine was intensive.
The sound of the sound knocked down a large area of more than 10,000 panicked and confused officers and soldiers of Han Fuqu Department. Before hundreds of officers and soldiers could pull the bolt of their guns, they were hit by the huge momentum of the horses and flew away, followed by Lin Lin.
The sabers drew bursts of cold light among the stunned crowd. Screams, wails and dull crashes came one after another. The two-kilometer long team was divided and ravaged by the fierce cavalry on this endless plain.
Commander Han Fuqu saw that more than 10,000 of his subordinates were either bleeding into the yellow sand or fleeing in all directions. He raised his head and roared in grief and anger, pulled out his saber and wanted to step forward to fight, but he was tightly held by the guards beside him and turned his horse's head.
, fled back to Li County in embarrassment amidst the deafening screams and roars.
The morning sun rises and shines golden light. The fields to the west of Suning City are blood-red. Corpses are everywhere. Moans, wailings, and cries are heard together with the neighing of war horses. Zhang Chengzhu, who is riding on a tall war horse, looks like a hell on earth.
On the battlefield, he sighed and shook his head, and then weakly asked Li Jinlong beside him: "How are the casualties among the brothers?"
"More than 850 people were killed in the battle, more than 1,400 were injured, and more than 6,000 enemy soldiers were wiped out. Deserters were everywhere, and the brothers had no strength to pursue them. More than 4,000 enemy soldiers were left on the battlefield wounded.
Soldiers, we can only let them fend for themselves...retreat?" Li Jinlong, with a thin face, replied.
Zhang Chengzhu did not move, his eyes were full of sadness: "I'm afraid this is our last battle. I promised the commander-in-chief that I would fight this battle for him. After the battle, we will not owe each other anything. I ordered the brothers to bring
Injured brother, withdraw."
Three o'clock in the afternoon, west of Hejian City.
Zhang Chengzhu led more than 2,600 exhausted cavalrymen and brought more than 1,400 wounded back to Liangjia Town in the west of Hejian. Before he could settle down, a war horse galloped from the east and stopped in front of Zhang Chengzhu.
, the young lieutenant in charge of investigation and liaison reported with a frightened expression:
"Reporting to the brigade, there is a call from Cangzhou. Haixing, Yanshan, Nanpi, and Guozhuang have been lost. Pang Bingxun, the 20th Army of the Northwest Army, is moving eastward from the Gaoyang line into Renqiucheng. Pingshu and Ma are north of Cangzhou.
The factory defenders have been defeated by the Zhenwu Department of the revolutionary army who suddenly moved eastward. Our army's retreat to the north is about to be cut off. Cangzhou is surrounded by the revolutionary army on three sides!"
"Report--"
Another war horse came from the west, and the sweat -covered cavalry anxiously reported: "Paradise, Han Fuqu has obtained a reinforcement of cavalry, and has opened from Li County to Su Ning. It is estimated that it will soon be chased!"
Zhang Chengzhu sighed suddenly: "It's too fast, it's too fast ..."
Li Jinlong was silent for a while, waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and shot the horse to Zhang Chengzhu and whispered: "Big brother, it seems that the East Line can't go anymore.
If we are going to die, we can only escape from the beach to the north ... but our war horses run all night and kill the morning, and we can't run anymore. Even if we can rush over, I'm afraid I am afraid
Time is too late. "
Zhang Chengzhu sighed again, groaned and instructed: "Ordered the brothers to go south to the south, open Bai Caoshan more than 20 kilometers southeast to hide for a few days, and find a way for a while.
The army caught up and did the opponents of the birth of the enemies for so many years. They would not let us easily. "
"I can only do this first ..."
Nympho
At 4:50 pm, Botou Town.
The 27th Army occupied the Twenty -seventh Army of Nanpi County quickly opened to the north along the avenue on the right side of the railway.
"Brother Hu, I really didn't expect that your hometown would be in Botou Town. No wonder An Xian's nephew argued to let you go to the head of the head independently.
——Well, how do you look so ugly? It is easy to let it go, no matter what you say, tired birds return to the nest to return home is a big event, and you are now a major general, you can be described as a successful career.
Cangzhou, even if the first group of our first group completed the task, we should enter the rest period. Brother Hu stayed at home for more days to comfort the bitterness of his hometown! Smile, yes, that's it, I am gone ... "
"Thank you! All the way ..."
Hu Jialin thanked gratefully, watching Xia Douyin go away under a group of followers, turned his head and looked at An Yi, who smiled and smiled, and asked curiously: "What are you laughing?"
"Nothing laughed, Uncle De approved our independent division to station in Potou." An Yi replied excitedly.
Hu Jialin widened his eyes: "Don't you need to return to the headquarters?"
"No need, Cangzhou Waves San Que is to let the enemy escape quickly, saving the enemy dogs jumping the wall to make our army increase unnecessary casualties. According to the latest orders from the commander -in -chief, I and Uncle I have formed a consensus.
Lu Can Jun fled into Tianjin, and several of our troops followed up slowly, surrounding Tianjin. The former enemy general headquarters is temporarily located in Cangzhou. We can take a few days to rest in the next few days.
Outside of Tongzhou, all the army will be stationed in the front line of Beijing and Tianjin. We will not do anything in the future of the war. Let's go to the horse.
Leading the department has surrounded the three hundred disabled enemies and the entire town for a long time. "
An Yifei was on his body, and Hu Jialin, who was at his heart, beat his horse to the west of Botou Town.
From the side of the railway to the east two kilometers of the east of Botou Town, in the blink of an eye, Hu Jialin Ce Mori across the familiar canal bridge, stepped into the streets of the town, and slowly grasped the horse.
A group of panic folks in the sun in front of the ping, the excitement in the heart of the heart was turned down, a pair of red eyes looked at the shining folks in front of them.
Zhao Rui, the leader of the teaching team, came up and saluted: "Report to the deputy division commander, 183 of the remnants of the enemy who fled into the town have voluntarily surrendered, and there are still about 150 people hiding in the town. After interrogation, about 180 of the hidden enemies were found.
There are more than thirty people from this town. The chief of staff arrived at the inspection post in the west of the town and ordered his subordinates to report to the deputy division commander."
Hu Jialin solemnly responded with a salute: "Understood, let the brothers withdraw their troops. Just leave the special team brothers to guard the outside."
"yes!"
Zhao Rui saluted, turned around and ordered to assemble. The 1,500 elite soldiers of the teaching regiment quickly rushed to Dashaiping to assemble in the company camp.
Hu Jialin swallowed hard and strode towards the hundreds of villagers who were huddled in a corner of the sun flat looking around. He stopped two meters in front of the bearded old man in the middle and took off his helmet under the fearful gaze of hundreds of villagers.
, his knees softened and he knelt down, put his hands on the ground and kowtowed three times, raised his head and said with a choked voice:
"Uncle, Xiao Linzi is unfilial. He has been away from home for nine years and has made you... worry..."
The villagers were shocked when they heard this. They stared blankly at Hu Jialin, who was kneeling on the ground in uniform and burst into tears. No one could believe that this was true.
The sixty-year-old man with a dark face and deep wrinkles rubbed his eyes, bent down and looked at it for a while, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and he reached out tremblingly to hold Hu Jialin's head: "Oh my God... you are finally back.
, Xiaolinzi...your mother's eyes are almost going blind from crying..."
"Uncle, the child is unfilial..."
The villagers exclaimed and called Hu Jialin's nickname one after another. Hu Jialin closed his eyes tightly and was speechless. The more than a thousand brothers who had completed the team were dumbfounded. An Yi's nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes.
An Yi thought that it would not be a problem to continue like this, so he strode forward, took off his helmet, knelt down on one leg beside Hu Jialin, and was about to say hello, but he didn't know that Li Guang, Zhao Rui, and Huang Zhi who had just arrived were behind him.
, Luo Lei, Pan Jin
Dong, Lu Xiong, Liao Chengpeng and other more than ten generals all came up and knelt down, frightening the old man with tears streaming down his face. The old man helped Hu Jialin up and asked hurriedly: "Lin'er, this... what's going on...
…”
An Yi raised his head and replied respectfully: "Uncle, my nephew An Yi is Brother Hu's life and death brother. These soldiers around us are all brothers of Brother Hu. We have more than 17,000 soldiers in the Independent Division of the First Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
He is Brother Hu's brother, and Brother Hu's elders are our elders. On behalf of the more than 10,000 brothers in the Independent Division, my nephew would like to send you my regards!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it! Get up, children, get up..."
The old man quickly stepped forward to help An Yi up. An Yi stood up and helped the old man, and said kindly: "Uncle, let's go back. My brother Hu hasn't been home for nine years. Let's go home first!"
The old man wiped away his tears and nodded frequently: "Okay, let's go home, we'll go home now... Oh my, why are my eyelids so twitching this morning? What a great joy..."
