The commander of the Northeast Army in Gan'an Town didn't want to be beaten by others like this. When he heard that although there were heavy casualties outside, the firepower was not strong, and there didn't seem to be many troops attacking the town, the brigade commander immediately sent out his troops. The ace unit - the cavalry regiment attacks!
Trying to eliminate the opponent in one fell swoop, using a thunder blow to clear away trouble and avoid adding fuel to the fire.
However, what he didn't know was that the special forces of the Song Army were waiting for his cavalry regiment. They knew that as long as this cavalry regiment was destroyed, the Northeastern Army in Gan'an Town would have almost no combat effectiveness. In the 57th year of Xinyang, a quarter of the mobility force was lost, because the entire 57th Army only had four cavalry regiments!
The charge of the cavalry regiment was majestic, and the rumble of horse hooves gave people great shock. This sound was heard in the ears of the Northeastern officers and soldiers. They became much quieter one by one, and half of the panic in their hearts disappeared. Those who were exploded Awakened by the sound, the soldiers scrambled out of their tents and began to form their teams in accordance with the commander's orders, and began to assemble in an orderly manner.
The speed of the cavalry regiment was very fast. In less than a minute, its forwards rushed into the town and began to engage in firefights with the special forces.
"It's just that when the cavalry regiment took fire, the cavalry didn't know that they were not shooting at the forwards of the special forces, but the blocking troops of the special operations forces, that is, the rear of the special operations forces. The forwards of the special forces had already penetrated deep inside when the defensive force had been destroyed. The front and rear special forces formed a deep U-shaped pocket against the cavalry regiment.
"Pa!" There was a gunshot, and the cavalry in front screamed and fell off the horse. The horse did not know that its owner was dead. Still running forward quickly.
"Pa!" Another soldier fell off the horse. There were no soldiers on their backs. The war horse ran more cheerfully.
"Pah! Pah!" A war horse trembled suddenly, its front legs suddenly lifted up, and it opened its mouth to scream, but it could not make a neighing sound. The soldier on horseback still didn't know anything about it, and he still yelled angrily: "Charge! Charge! You fucking charge me -"
The war horse, which had no signs of life, fell to the ground with its owner. Due to the strong inertia, it rolled forward with the owner, and then was heavily trampled by countless horse hooves, and the body was slowly trampled into pulp. The still warm blood flowed quietly and seeped into the soil.
Its owner was knocked away by a war horse that had just lost its owner, and was thrown high into the air. A stray bullet hit his head. The already dead man once again suffered from a headshot.
The gunshots outside the town were not intense. The rumble of the charging horses still rang in the ears of the Northeastern officers and soldiers, and the earth still trembled with the trampling of the horses. However, the roar of the cavalry charge was slowly weakening, and screams were heard from time to time. The shouts of some officers and soldiers suddenly stopped from time to time.
In less than five minutes, the charging cavalry also came to their senses. They were horrified to find that their companions around them were gone, and the only ones charging were hundreds of empty horses on their backs. Only a few of them were shouting alone, only their companions who fell into the dust one after another were screaming, and only the injured horses were whining
They quickly reined in their restless horses, raised their hands high, and looked for the enemy in the darkness with frightened eyes, hoping that the other party could see their actions and understand what they meant: "Stop fighting, we all surrender." .¡±
Soon many people rushed out of the darkness and whispered orders to these frightened cavalry to control their horses and move forward. These confident people did not even take away the carbines and cavalry swords in the hands of the prisoners.
The sparse gunshots became even sparser, and the charging horses slowly moved away, as if they had charged further, as if they had driven away the enemies attacking the town.
After the cavalry regiment had gone away, the commander of the special forces team Song Jun made several more bird calls, and the special forces team members immediately advanced towards the town again.
This time the special forces no longer waited for the enemy to rush out but attacked instead, because the commander in the town had already discovered something was wrong: not to mention that he did not order the cavalry regiment to rush that far, but it was night, and the cavalry regiment was familiar with the situation around the town. It is okay to charge on terrain. It is okay to use the lights in the town to charge, but you must not conduct field battles at night. If you charge when you cannot see the ground clearly, then the terrain is the biggest enemy of the cavalry. Whether it is a pit, a stone, or a bush, it is the cavalry. The natural enemy will destroy itself without the enemy attacking the cavalry at all.
"Besides, even if the cavalry regiment really won, they would definitely send people over to report the victory and send over the captured enemies. However, they never returned, and no information was transmitted. Only the sound of horse hooves disappeared into the distance. It was as if they were going on an outing or undergoing a transfer.
At this time, the Northeast Army brigade commander knew that relying solely on his own strength was no longer enough to drive away the enemies outside. What was most important now wasWhat matters is how to hold on and how to wait for reinforcements to come to relieve the siege.
The shrinking strength of the Northeastern Army naturally led to the extension of the special forces' positions into the town. Instead of concentrating on one point for a strong attack, they penetrated from all directions, pricking here and there like sewing needles, leaving the defenders completely unaware of their opponents. They didn't know how to deploy their troops in the direction of the attack, but the soldiers on the position continued to gradually die out in cold gunfire.
As time went on, and as the soldiers in each position weakened, Gan'an Town's defense began to become riddled with holes. In many places, it was like ants dug out small holes. Although it was not enough to cause the embankment to collapse, it began to Water is seeping, and the seeping water continues to wash the small holes, causing the holes to slowly expand and slowly become connected. The defenders in the town still huddled together consciously or unconsciously, thinking that this way they would be stronger and more at ease.
And this kind of grouping is centered on the houses in the town. Like all street fighting, they are ready to use the courtyard walls, houses, wells, and millstones of residential buildings as cover to resist the enemy.
Of course, the special forces will not clear house by house, but let other troops set up mortars and artillery to start clearing them one by one.
"The members of the special forces just hid on the periphery and used sniper rifles to shoot at the Northeast Army soldiers who could not stand the artillery bombardment and fled in all directions.
As houses one after another were bombarded by saturated artillery, precise shooting made it impossible for the Northeastern Army to escape or hide, and finally their morale collapsed.
The brigade commander led the ordinary officers to shout surrender, and at the same time lit rows of torches, for fear that the Red Army would not see it.
The battle only lasted for more than three hours. Of course, according to the strength of the special forces and the strength of Guo Zhuocheng's third army, it would not have taken that long at all. The reason for this was because Guo Zhuocheng did not want to sacrifice too many men. , wanting to capture the most war horses, and also to force more Northeastern Army soldiers to surrender.
You must know that in China, apart from the Central Army, the Northeast Army is the most formal, and they have more technical officers and soldiers than the Central Army. In addition, the Northeastern Army came from the Northeast and is very familiar with the environment in the Northeast. At the same time, it has been stationed in the Northwest for many years and has a good understanding of the terrain and customs of the Northwest. Once they are subdued, they will be ready for the Red Army to attack the northwest and the northeast. A huge boost.
Soon, the battle in Gan'an Town ended.
After the prisoners were escorted away, the officers and soldiers of the direct column began to use the Northeast Army's original positions and defenses to reinforce and expand, and began to dig trenches, because the next battle mission was to defend here, not only to prevent Zhengzhou from The Northeast Army, Northwest Army and Jin Army from the direction crossed here to rescue Nanjing, and they did not allow the army from the Nanjing direction to break through here and escape.
A brigade of the Northeast Army was wiped out in just a few hours, which shocked Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang who were sitting in Nanjing. For the first time, they had a personal experience of the strength of the Red Army, and they also knew The reason why Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army could not withstand it so quickly was not entirely due to Chiang Kai-shek's incompetence, but because the strength of the two armies was too different.
"Before, they always thought that the Central Army's rapid collapse and the Red Army's rapid comeback were entirely due to Chiang Kai-shek's blind command. It was because each warlord was fighting independently, which led to the disastrous defeat. However, the same is true for his own troops now, with no remaining strength to resist.
"What should I do?" Yan Xishan asked, frowning and looking at the crying face of Zhang Xueliang.
Feng Yuxiang, who was standing next to him, said angrily: "These Communists have no regard for morality. We have already sent them a telegram asking them to send people to negotiate. We agreed to give them a position, so why are they still beating us?" Are we really afraid of them? They are calculating on their own. We are not prepared. If we were prepared, how could they beat us? They just wander around in the ravines. If we take advantage of our familiarity with the terrain to carry out sneak attacks, if we really have to fight face to face, we will definitely win."
Yan Xishan said helplessly: "Now they are fighting us face to face, but what is the result?"
Feng Yuxiang waved his hand and said: "This is because we were not prepared, and they succeeded in a sneak attack. As long as we learn the lessons from this time, as long as we open up our posture, they will definitely not be able to defeat them. Besides, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. How could this happen? Can a small battle determine who wins and who loses?¡±
Yan Xishan still shook his head and said: "Jiang has been defeated by them, and we have gained a big advantage. If we fight with the Red Army this time, will we give Jiang another advantage?" An opportunity for a big bargain? I think if we have a big fight with the Red Army, we will definitely lose both sides. Even if we win, it will be a tragic victory and we have to guard against it. Jiang will not be willing to be an apartment owner. Should we give more Give them some positions, give them more territory, and stabilize them first. Wait until we understand themAfter understanding their true strength and understanding their weaknesses, can we then find a way to eliminate them? "
