Episode 48 Chuanxiao Ding Sanqin (6) to advance to Shanxi
Episode 48: The Legend of the Three Qin Dynasties (6) advances into Shanxi
People on the ground saw the planes falling from the sky like dumplings. It seemed that in just one pack of cigarettes, all the big planes and small biplanes in the sky were gone. Only four shining silver planes were left in the sky.
A small monoplane.
Both the guerrillas and the Qing soldiers on the ground stared blankly at the incredible things above their heads, forgetting to fight for a moment.
After clearing the sky, the four small planes slowed down, flew in a circle, and then began to line up, one by one, "kites turned over" and dived down, strafing the clearing troops on the ground.
Now the situation on the ground battlefield has completely reversed. At the end of the pontoon bridge, a dozen guerrillas raised their guns, cheered wildly, and stomped and jumped in the crater. On the other side, thousands of Qing soldiers bombed the camp, and they all fell into hysterical fear.
Only then did they react and understand what happened. They never expected that the situation was one-sided just now. They completely wiped out the remaining guerrillas and blew up the pontoon within ten minutes. These were all natural things. Why did it turn out to be a one-sided situation now?
Coming here?
Most of the Qing soldiers could only think of this step. They were howling like ghosts, running around, desperately looking for a place to hide, and then desperately getting in. The Qing army officers who had some level of skills had no choice but to run for their lives at this time.
, while being frightened, I was still thinking about a question:
——Where did the Ming Army fighter jets above our heads come from? There is no Ming Army airport within a few hundred miles!
A more terrifying thought entered the minds of many Qing army officers: Did the Linfen Airport in the northeast fall into the hands of the Ming army?! Could it be that the Ming army had already entered Shanxi from other places?! Could it be that... the Ming army was so powerful?
The troops are already behind you? You have no way out?!
The sound of roaring engines kept passing by overhead, and every time it passed by, it was always accompanied by the harsh machine gun sound like sawing wood, and the screams of brothers in front and behind.
…
Although there were not many Ming army aircraft overhead, only four, they took turns swooping and shooting, giving no chance for the Qing soldiers on the ground to breathe. The Qing soldiers on the ground were all militiamen who usually only engaged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and roamed the countryside.
The nature of the armed forces has never been in a war, and they have never hit targets a few times in a year. This is when the emperor appointed officials and rewarded heavily, morale was greatly boosted, and our own side had control of the air. Thousands of people were also killed by the guerrillas.
Dozens of people were in a stalemate.
Now that they had lost their control of the air, they were shot at the top of the crowd, with blood, intestines, brains and screams everywhere. The hundreds of Qing soldiers who were still alive finally collapsed and fled in all directions.
In the process of escaping, more people were shot to death.
The dozen guerrillas beside the pontoon knew what to do at this time. They suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, holding four undamaged light machine guns and a dozen rifles, aiming at the frantically running Qing soldiers.
The "shooting target" began.
When the Qing soldiers were running away, it was harder to hit them than when they were attacking from the front. But when they were attacking from the front, the guerrillas were under great pressure and did not dare to stick their head out in one place for too long. It was difficult to keep their composure and aim, otherwise the enemy would be on the opposite side.
There will be bullets coming. But it's different now. No one on the other side will fight back. They can just stay calm, hold their breath, and strive for blood.
After many trainings and actual combat, the team members have already cooperated tacitly in this situation. The rifle is responsible for those targets that run vertically, while the light machine gun is responsible for those targets that run horizontally. The light machine gun plays a greater role at this time
Advantages. The Czech-style light machine gun has a slow rate of fire, but it is very accurate. It can accurately control two or three bursts in one burst, and one burst can always defeat a horizontally running clearing soldier.
Within ten minutes, strafing from the sky and bursts of fire from the ground caused the Qing army to suffer more than 200 casualties. Now, only about 600 people with intact limbs were left among the Qing soldiers. They did not care about fighting at all.
, threw away all the guns
They held their weapons and equipment, and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands. When there was a break in the sky, they jumped up and ran away for a while. During this period, they would become the targets of the guerrillas. When they heard the plane rushing down again, they started again.
Fall down on the ground.
All Qing soldiers now have only one belief - I want to live.
As for how the guerrillas behind them persisted in fighting despite being strafed by planes, the Qing soldiers did not care to think about how they did it.
…
The four Ming fighter jets in the sky discovered that the Qing soldiers on the ground had been dispersed no longer. Any further dive and strafing would only be a waste of fuel. So they pulled them together, formed up again, climbed high, and headed northeast towards Linfen Airport.
Fly in the direction.
Some of the bold Qing soldiers on the ground raised their heads at this time and watched the four small silver planes flying far away to the northeast. At this time, the previous "Linfen Airport is occupied, the Ming army has arrived behind"
The judgment became even more certain.
These Qing soldiers, whose morale was high before, suddenly fell into extreme fear. Linfen is only more than 90 kilometers away from here. If Linfen is occupied by the Ming army, it means that the Ming army has already arrived behind them. Maybe the vanguard of the Ming army
It’s only a few dozen miles away from here! It’s said that the Ming Army’s places are all made of car wheels, and it’s only a few dozen miles away in the blink of an eye!
These Qing troops originally had their treasure on the side of the imperial court and planned to blow up the pontoon bridge. Before the Ming army crossed the Yellow River, they desperately retreated to Taiyuan, that is, to the northeast, and met the main force of the imperial court along the railway there. With their own
Great success and promotion and fortune. Now Linfen in the northeast is occupied by the Ming army, which means that the road to Taiyuan in the north is blocked.
After these Qing soldiers were dispersed, they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss what to do next. No one of them dared to attack the bridge now. Now these hundreds of people are scattered over an area of two square kilometers.
Unless someone has the ability and courage to regroup these people, or just blow up the bridge with just a few people, that would be a recipe for death.
Besides, these Qing soldiers felt that they had made a wrong bet. Just because they had fought hard to seize and blow up the bridge and killed so many guerrillas, they would not be able to spare them when the Ming army came. Also, these garrison troops and those
The regular army is different. At least the regular army is a little stricter and has some military discipline.
People like me wander around the countryside all day long, bullying men and women. In the eyes of the people, they are almost the same as the police, and they have long been hated by people. Now the guns have been thrown away, the team has been dispersed, and the Ming army is almost here.
, if you keep wearing these clothes, you might be surrounded by the common people at some point and beaten to death with hoes.
So soon, these scattered Qing soldiers took off their uniforms and pretended to be ordinary people and fled for their lives.
At the head of the Longmen Floating Bridge, a dozen guerrillas covered in gunpowder smoke and blood did not stand there to admire the battlefield after the victory. Instead, they crouched and ran quickly on the battlefield, picking up ammunition dropped by the Qing army.
Then they all were brought back and piled on the pontoon
Behind the position, they did not dare to relax and took advantage of this opportunity to "build" the position. That is, they collected usable bricks and cement blocks from the collapsed brick walls and ruins of houses, and built simple fortifications outside the crater, ready at any time.
The next round of fighting.
…
The four Ming Army "silver fighter jets" flew toward Linfen not to create an illusion. They flew over Linfen Airport, got out of the southwest sunlight, and dived until they were above the runway before they were discovered. But by this time, they were already there.
It's late. The two planes have just refueled and are about to take off.
The flying Jebie fighter was knocked down by them in a smooth dive and exploded as soon as it left the ground. Two large fireballs dragged thick smoke and flames, rolled and shattered on the runway, and were thrown far away. The fuel tank was full of aviation fuel.
Burning everywhere, the fire even hit two other planes next to the runway.
The air defense sirens were loud at the airport. Linfen Airport was originally a small airport, with only a squadron of more than a dozen Jebie fighter jets stationed there, and not many anti-aircraft guns. At this time, the artillerymen had not yet run out of the barracks, and four fighter jets were stationed.
It was a dive. The five remaining Jebe fighter jets on the airport had just been refueled. In the blink of an eye, they were strafed into large fireballs and collapsed in the raging fire.
After completing all tasks, the four "silver planes" climbed quickly, and the formation disappeared in the southeast direction and returned to Zhengzhou.
These four mysterious fighter jets flew from Zhengzhou Airport to Longmen, then flew from Longmen to Linfen, and then flew back to Zhengzhou from Linfen. The distance alone exceeded 600 kilometers. There were some air battles, dives and strafing in the middle, but there were no
One landing to refuel.
In the eyes of the Qing army, this was simply impossible. Therefore, whether it was the Qing army in Longmen or the Qing army in Linfen, they all came to the conclusion that the Ming army had already entered Shanxi, and they did not know when they would be attacked.
to attack.
The Qing army in Shanxi, which was originally empty, fell into an overall panic. Everyone was considering the way out. Those with connections were asking: Is the Taihang Mountain Column considered a regular Ming army? If I lead my troops to surrender to them, will Nanjing admit it?
?Can I pick up the righteous bonus according to the regulations of the Ming army?
…
At 6:30 in the evening on the 25th, a dozen guerrillas who controlled the pontoon finally saw what they had been waiting for.
More than a thousand meters away, on the other side of the Yellow River, on the embankment road in Shaanxi, a series of car lights appeared in the distance, queuing up to the pontoon.
A dozen guerrillas here in Shanxi suddenly became excited. They looked desperately with telescopes in the dusk, trying desperately to distinguish. At 6:30 in late October, the sky was almost completely dark. In addition, the distance was too far.
I couldn't see the flags and signs clearly through the headlights, I could only make out the rough outline of the oncoming vehicle.
However, just a few outlines made these guerrillas cheer. They recognized the legendary tanks and armored vehicles, which were things they had never seen before. These things had never been seen by the Qing army in Shanxi.
"Both of you, go and meet us quickly!"
"yes!"
The two guerrillas quickly ran onto the pontoon bridge and ran excitedly to the other side, shedding tears as they ran.
The convoy on the opposite side slowly stopped. The tank at the front turned on the spot and pointed its front towards the pontoon bridge. Two bright beams of light shone through the entire pontoon bridge and sent the light to Shanxi on the opposite side.
The two guerrillas ran towards the light, their tears constantly thrown into the darkness behind them.
Suddenly, the two of them were hugged by several people across from them, and then a southern accent said:
"Are you guys?"
When the two big Shanxi men heard this voice, they no longer had any doubts. They immediately hugged them and burst into tears.
"Ah... the bridge is fine... we are holding it... ah..." the two guerrillas, covered in gunpowder smoke and blood, cried loudly, "you go over there... hurry up and enter Shanxi... ah...
...Well, the people there are about to be killed by the disaster...go and save them...the officials there are all jackals..."
…
At 6:30 pm on the 25th, the leading troops of the 1st Mechanized Division of the People's Guard of the Ming Army drove across the Longmen Floating Bridge and entered Shanxi.
At 8:00 p.m., the main force of the People's Guard of the Ming Army began to enter Shanxi. With the arrival of the Longmen Yellow River Floating Bridge, the recovery of Shanxi was just around the corner.
At the same time, five motorized infantry divisions of the Ming Army passed through Tongguan and entered Guanzhong one after another. They did not follow the main force northward, but continued westward, deep into Guanzhong, and directly captured several important towns in Guanzhong: Xi'an, Xianyang, Baoji, and Tongchuan.
Their mission was to occupy Guanzhong, seize Dashan Pass and Wuguan to the south, and promote the surrender of Hanzhong and the remnants of the Qing Army in the Qinling Mountains. Thus, they could completely take the Qinling Mountains into their hands, so that Sichuan and Shanxi could be completely connected, and they would both become part of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
