Chapter 417: Students and Company Commanders of the Hunan Battle
Machine gun bullets flew overhead in a string, and the surrounding trees were damaged.
Beiyang's troops rushed up there layer by layer. As they rushed closer, the ferocious expressions on the faces of the soldiers could be seen clearly.
The battle on this day was extremely fierce, with both sides fighting for life and death on the vast battlefield.
The strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army's wells and their determination to defend to the end greatly exceeded Wu Peifu's expectations.
Although the 11th Beiyang Division had been severely annihilated by Liu Zhaocheng before, although Wu Peifu was a little worried, he still did not take Liu Zhaocheng and the Northern Expedition to heart.
As luck would have it, everyone can occasionally win one or two victories. But once a fierce offensive and defensive battle comes, Wu Peifu firmly believes that the Northern Expeditionary Army will soon be unable to hold on and be defeated.
But Wu Peifu was shocked by the performance of the Northern Expeditionary Army!
Especially their fierce firepower and powerful weapons, which even far surpassed their own 3rd Division!
The reason why Wang Hengyue dared to go to the Northern Expedition may be because of his trust in his own force.
Both sides seemed to have an agreement: fight during the day and rest at night. When night fell, the originally intense gunfire suddenly stopped.
A Beiyang Army soldier's gun accidentally went off, and he was slapped hard by the squad leader next to him: "***, if the other side misunderstands and starts fighting again, do you guys need to rest?"
"
The soldier covered his face that was sore and aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice: "This is just a war..."
Another slap came, and the squad leader became even more angry: "You know what the hell, there is no way to fight a war. In the end, it is just negotiation. Maybe we will become our own people with the Northern Expeditionary Army. Now he
Mom is so dedicated, do you want to see me again in the future?"
In Wu Peifu's headquarters, the failure of the attack also made Wu Peifu a little worried.
The news we just received is that after the Henglong Bridge was lost, Cangshui also fell into the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Yiyang has been directly threatened.
Can Zhang Jingyao be able to withstand it? Can Song Daqu be able to control the situation there? Wu Peifu has no idea at all.
"Commander Yu, today's battle is not about how capable the Northern Expeditionary Army is, but the soldiers on the front line who refused to sacrifice their lives and rushed forward several times. As soon as the Northern Expeditionary Army's firepower became fiercer, the charging troops would quickly
Just retreated." Wu Peifu's chief of staff Li Jichen expressed his inner thoughts: "I also heard some soldiers regretting there."
"What did you say?" Wu Peifu glared.
Li Jichen got bold: "They said there that if the third division of Yushuai's direct line cannot be used, they will let other troops go to send regrets."
"Fart, fart!" Wu Peifu was furious, but he calmed down immediately.
Indeed, this makes sense. From the beginning of the offensive battle, he had planned to let other troops fight first, and after the Northern Expeditionary Army was almost exhausted, he would then send his own elite third division to reap the fruits of victory.
It now appears that this approach may not be effective.
Li Jichen has been with Wu Peifu for a long time, and he knows best what Yu Shuai is thinking: "Yu.
Handsome, it seems that we want to defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army as soon as possible.
"
Wu Peifu remained silent.
Judging from the performance of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the past two days, it is different from what I thought. They are indeed a very capable fighting force. If the third division is thrown in so early, even if they can win, I am afraid that their own troops will not be able to win.
The casualties were heavy.
While he was hesitating, the adjutant walked in with a nervous look on his face: "Shuai Yu, I have lost my spy.
"What?" Wu Peifu and Li Jichen shouted together.
"Yiyang is lost, Zhang Jingyao brothers surrendered to the Northern Expedition."
"Where are Song Dali and Bai Enru?" Wu Peifu suddenly became nervous.
"Song Dali and Song Dafu committed suicide and Bai Enru, and also surrendered to the Northern Expedition!"
Wu Peifu shook his body and sat down slumped.
Song Dali committed suicide. Song Dali committed suicide because he was a confidant who had followed him for so many years and was loyal to him. He put him in Yiyang just to stabilize the situation in Yiyang. But now, Song Dafu has left him.
Yiyang was lost! Originally, in Wu Peifu's plan, Yiyang could hold on for at least ten days, but he didn't expect that it would be lost in such a short period of time.
As soon as Yiyang was lost, his flank was exposed to the Northern Expeditionary Army!
"Where's Bai Enru! Why doesn't Bai Enru commit suicide? He is a coward!" Wu Peifu stood up suddenly and roared angrily.
"Commander Yu, calm down." Li Jichen hurriedly persuaded: "Now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. Song Dali committed suicide to serve Commander Yu. Everyone feels sad, but when Yiyang is lost, our army's flank is in danger, so we must find a way quickly. Commander Yu
, we must make a breakthrough on the battlefield tomorrow, I think we should bring our third division up!"
Wu Peifu nodded: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only do this. Let the 1st, 3rd, 93rd Divisions, 28th, and 20th Uncombined Brigades of the Border Guard Army be brought to the front line in Ningxiang to protect our army's flanks.
Let Sun Chuanfang command the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions to protect the left flank of our army. Order the 53rd Mixed Brigade and the 12th Mixed Regiment to be newly reinforced in Hunan to step up their efforts to destroy the Hunan Army. Order the 3rd Division and the 11th Division
The 51st Mixed Brigade, Shandong's First Mixed Brigade, and Hubei's Fourth Mixed Brigade will all go into battle tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Wu Peihu has decided to go all out and not leave any options behind!
After receiving the order, Duan Qirui's direct descendants, Duan Zhigui and Xu Shuzheng, also temporarily put aside the conflict between He and Zhili, quickly set off for the Ningxiang battlefield, joined the local defenders, and decided to defend Ningxiang!
The decisive battle is about to begin!
But the soldiers on the front line still don't know that a decisive battle that will make the sun and the moon lose their luster is about to come!
The Northern Expeditionary Army's position was quiet. Some soldiers were eating dinner, some were wiping their guns, and some were closing their eyes to rest.
The soldiers were very tired after a day of fighting.
In the evening, the students became active. They helped bandage the wounded, carry ammunition, and kept curiously asking about the battle.
Many students who came to the front line have signed up to join the army, and the vigorous battlefield has greatly affected them.
Yin Siyu and several female students always liked to gather around the company commander named Cao Daming and kept asking questions. Cao Daming, who wanted to have a good rest, had to force himself to talk to them.
After talking there for a long time, Cao Daming's mouth went dry and he picked up the water bottle next to him and took a sip: "I've said so much about girls, what about you? I heard that there are many big
In the city, men and women hug each other and dance. Some women are even shirtless, and they can let men touch their hands. Is this the case? "Yes.
"Yin Siyu and the companion next to him pursed their lips and laughed: "That's not shirtless, then it's shirtless. Hands on hands is also a foreign etiquette."
"That's really shameless." Cao Daming said disdainfully: "Our [China] country has the ultimate etiquette and integrity. Men and women are jealous of Niu Jun.
"A troubled girl refuses to be kissed."
"Yes, that's what you said. Why don't those people listen?" Cao Daming snorted.
Yin Siyu smiled and said: "Then, then you sleep with those women... sleep muscle
She couldn't say the word "sleep" no matter what.
"Isn't it just sleeping with a woman?" Cao Daming said it for her carelessly: "That's what you want, but if I have a wife in the future, if my own wife kisses another man like this, I will fight her
You can't kill her."
"Ah, you don't have a wife yet?" Yin Siyu and the female students found it incredible.
Cao Daming sighed: "Those of us who are Qiuba, we don't know today whether we will be alive tomorrow. If you marry us, you will become a widow at any time!"
Yin Siyu and her companions fell silent.
They have seen the tragedy of the battlefield with their own eyes. There is no romance on the battlefield, only blood and death. No one knows whether these soldiers who are still alive and kicking will continue to appear on this battlefield tomorrow.
They loyally contribute to this country, but once they die, what about their families?
No one could answer, not even the soldiers themselves.
"I have a brother." Cao Daming sighed: "That year was during the War to Protect the Country. He was only twenty-one years old. He had just married a beautiful cousin and went to the battlefield the day after the wedding. Later we met
During a fierce battle, my brother and I were ordered to seize a position. We rushed several times but failed. Later, the brother went around with a few grenades. At that time, I was responsible for covering.
Cao Daming fell into memories: "I saw him dressing and running dexterously on the battlefield. He approached the enemy's position and threw the grenade. The enemy's position was bombed, and he stood up before he wanted to charge.
, but a bullet was shot through his body, and he never woke up. When the battle was over, his guests cried all day and night after knowing the news of his death. Later, when we were not paying attention,
Jump into the river and die, die
Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh: "I saw it with my own eyes that time. I have experienced so much. I have seen too many people die and too many families broken up. I can forget about sleeping with women."
, but if you want to get married to a cousin, forget it, it’s better to stop harming other people’s girls and accumulate some virtue, it’s better to accumulate more virtue for yourself.”
Yin Siyu's eyes were red and tears almost fell.
She didn't expect that this company commander, who usually seemed to say nothing about "sleeping with women," would have so many stories buried in his heart.
Perhaps only they themselves know the true thoughts of these soldiers!!.
