At dawn, the other two hilltops were also captured. The Communist defenders retreated towards the main position of Baima Pass. Zhang Xian did not pursue them. Instead, he sent two companies to strike while the iron was hot and went straight to the side of Baima Pass in a roundabout way. back.
In the direction of the 11th Brigade¡¯s camp, the sound of gunfire also stopped. Obviously, the battle there has ended.
The sky was already getting brighter, and there was a messy scene in front of Baima Pass. The national army had completely taken the initiative on this battlefield. The communist troops who had gone down the mountain to attack last night retreated towards Baima Pass in defeat, while the national army behind them The pursuers also followed closely, but they only pursued them as far as the foot of the mountain, where they were blocked by the artillery fired from the mountain by the defenders. After the defender of Baima Pass made a mistake, he took timely remedial measures to strengthen the firepower of the main position. At the same time, he took advantage of his superior position to fight back against the enemies who were following him.
Although they captured three hills in the south, Zhang Xian's 32nd Regiment also suffered a counterattack from the defenders. The Communist troops tried to regain the lost positions, but were still defeated by the 32nd Regiment. The ground pushed back. At this time, I heard a deafening sound of explosions coming from behind Baimaguan. The sounds were connected one after another, and soon they became one, and spread far and wide in the valley!
"Okay, Captain Li must have succeeded!" Xiong Kaiping said with certainty and excitement.
Zhang Xian nodded. At this time, they were undergoing a top-down attack from the communist army on the opposite side. Seeing the attacking communist troops retreating one after another, he knew that his opportunity had come. He immediately gave an order and kept it in his hand. Yao Yu's first battalion, who was in reserve, was released. At this time, the officers and soldiers of Yao Yu's first battalion were already gearing up and eager to try. After hearing the order to charge, they rushed straight up like a dragon entering the sea. , chasing the retreating Communist army and attacking Baima Pass. At this time, the two companies that had detoured to the side of Baima Pass were already in place, and the 31st Regiment led by Wu Hua also followed. For a moment, the shouts of killing went straight into the sky, and the sound of gunfire also came one after another. The people on the battlefield The situation completely shifted to the side of the national army.
When it was nearly noon, the defenders at Baima Pass finally couldn't hold on any longer. After weighing the pros and cons, the commander gave up their position and retreated to the Yimeng Mountain area.
The battle at Baimaguan was just a small battle after the reorganized 11th Division entered the Yimeng Mountains. However, after this battle, it can be seen that the 32nd Regiment has basically restored its previous combat strength, which made the division commander Hu Congjun very upset. Happy. In this battle, only one battalion commander of the 11th Brigade was unfortunately hit by the opponent's stray bullet, and dozens of people were lost at the same time. It can be said that the cost was quite small. Looking at the opponents, there were hundreds of prisoners taken, not counting the dead bodies on the battlefield. The most gratifying thing was that one of their ammunition depots was blown up. I am afraid that in a short period of time, the communist troops in this brigade will be tight on weapons and ammunition.
When Li Wenyi led his company to victory, he reported to Zhang Xian the situation in the ammunition depot. He was surprised that these Communist troops were also replacing guns with cannons at this time. Most of them contained ammunition used by American firearms. That was Tom There are hundreds of boxes of bullets for Xun submachine guns.
Hearing Li Wenyi¡¯s narration, Zhang Xian naturally understood that the communist army was definitely unable to produce those ammunition, so it was naturally captured by the national army. Since the end of the War of Resistance, the Communist Army has become bigger and stronger in its suppression campaigns, but the National Army has continued to become more and more incompetent. The established organizations have been eliminated. Credits are snatched from each other, and faults are blamed on each other. Even if they unite and cooperate, If you can't do it, how can you win?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xian felt very unhappy, but he also knew that this was reality and could not be changed in a short while. The only thing he could do was to do his own thing and not worry about what others did.
*********************
The 11th Brigade rested for a day at Baima Pass until the subsequent troops followed up. After the handover, they set off again and searched in the direction of Mengyin.
"Following the 11th Brigade is the 18th Brigade, and the last one is the 118th Brigade. Hu Congjun seems to be very careful at this time, for fear of being surrounded by the Communist army in this Yimeng Mountain area.
It was already mid-April, and the East China Field Army led by Chen Yi and Su Yu were also constantly looking for fighters. However, this time the national army had to act very cautiously. No one of the three corps stood out, and they were all cautious in their actions. , even if they only travel a few or more than a dozen miles a day, every division is afraid that they will become the target of the Communist army.
In fact, at the beginning of this battle, in early April, the Second Corps had already occupied Tai'an City, opened the Jinpu Railway from Yanzhou to Jinan, achieved good results, and formed an encirclement of the Communist East China Field Army. potential. In early April, the First Corps andWhile clearing operations were ongoing in the Yimeng Mountains, the East China Field Army moved these three columns south along the west side of the Jinpu Railway and attacked Ningyang County to threaten Yanzhou, the national army's supply base. However, Wang Jingjiu guarded the other two reorganized divisions of the Second Corps near Yanzhou and did not act rashly. The Fifth Army and the 11th reorganized division still moved forward according to the original plan. With no choice, the East China Field Army had to abandon Mengyin, Xintai and other places, and moved its main force to the area east of the Linyi-Mengyin highway to hide and wait for the opportunity. It was at this time that the troops of the First Corps of the National Army also moved north. Their leading troops were dispersed on both sides of the Taoxu and Qingtuosi sections of the Linyi-Mengyin Highway. The East China Field Army immediately moved four The column launched a surprise attack on this part of the national army, but this national army was very vigilant and retreated to the mountainous area on the south side of the highway upon contact. But even so, the East China Field Army still annihilated one and a half regiments of the National Army's reorganized 83rd Division.
At this time, the 11th Reorganized Division had been stationed in Mengyin City for several days. During this period, Hu Congjun sent a search team and a cavalry team to conduct reconnaissance in the surrounding areas, but found no main force of the Communist Army. The communist army was like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace.
At the end of the month, General Ou Zhen led the Seventh Army from Pingyi in the south. After the meeting, everyone became very friendly and informed each other of the enemy's situation and their own situation. Then, according to the request of the superior, Ou Zhen General Zhen ordered the 11th Reorganized Division to handover with the 7th Army in Mengyin City, leaving Mengyin's defense to them. The reorganized 11th Division turned north and attacked Xintai along the highway from Mengyin to Laiwu. .
On the way from Mengyin to Xintai, the 11th Reorganized Division met with the 9th Reorganized Division, another unit of the Third Corps. After notifying each other, they learned that there were no Communist troops nearby. At that moment, Hu Congjun ordered The entire division sped up their journey and arrived at Xintai City in just one day.
At this time, Xintai was also an empty city. The one who arrived one step earlier than the reorganized 11th Division was the reorganized 85th Division of Wang Jingjiu's Second Corps. After the defense, the 85th Reorganized Division immediately returned to Tai'an and took over all of Xintai City. It was handed over to the reorganized 11th Division to garrison.
At this time, the East China Field Army had already set its sights on the reorganized 11th Division. At this time, the 11th Reorganized Division was guarding Xintai City alone. The fifth army closest to him was still in Laiwu, and The 9th Reorganized Division and the 85th Reorganized Division that the 11th Reorganized Division encountered were already far away from Xintai.
On May 3, the East China Field Army's fourth column, together with the three columns returning from Ningyang on the Jinpu Railway, quietly assembled near Xintai, and completed the encirclement of the reorganized 11th Division that night. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
