Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because the quality of the artillery was so different, the range of the defenders' artillery could not reach the range of the Red Army's heavy artillery. Their artillery could only vent its anger on the Red Army's medium-caliber mortar positions and mountain artillery positions.  But as long as these artillery fire, they will immediately attract tens of times the number of large-caliber artillery counterattacks. It will not take a few minutes for the artillery position to be plowed over by the Red Army's artillery shells. The precious artillery will soon be on the opponent's side.  It becomes scrap metal under bombing, or becomes parts when being detonated by one's own artillery shells.

    The most pitiable thing is of course the artillerymen of the defenders. They have not fired a few shells, and they have not even destroyed the mortar positions at the front of the Red Army. They are already dead or injured. How can they fight?

    Feng Yuxiang and other senior officers also knew that the Red Army's artillery was fierce, and they also knew that they would not be able to gain advantage if they fired at each other. Therefore, they had no intention of fighting the Red Army during the shelling. Their plan was  They hid first, withstood the bombardment of the Red Army and then entered the position. The defenders were several times larger than the Red Army to stop them and kill them.

    When they think about it, the Red Army's artillery is very powerful, which has been proved by countless battles. Even Chiang Kai-shek's last trump card-the Tax Police Corps-can't take advantage of the opponent's artillery, and they don't want to.  But no matter how powerful the Red Army's artillery is, it can only wreak havoc for a while. After all, this thing requires artillery shells. One shell weighs dozens of kilograms. The Red Army transported it over the mountains and ridges from Sichuan, regardless of their production.  How much has been purchased and how much has been stored, it is impossible to say a lot just by looking at the factor of transportation.

    Since there are not many, let them finish the fight first. The harder the fight, the shorter the time.  As soon as their artillery fire stops.  That's when the defenders show off their power.

    They didn¡¯t know that their waiting was playing into Guo Zhuocheng¡¯s hands.  Because Feng Yuxiang and the others simply misjudged the situation and did not know that Guo Zhuocheng was a super fraudster. The Red Army artillery did not need to be transported from Sichuan at all, even more than the troops of Mr. Lin and Mr. Peng.  Simple, they still need to transport from Yichang, but Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army has no transportation problem at all. As long as he arranges for people to blockade a place, he can transport as many artillery shells from the time and space of 1993 as he needs.  At the same time, a large number of gun barrels or entire cannons with good performance were shipped.

    The hiding of the defenders just gave the artillery the opportunity to show off their power. They had no time to bombard, and they bombarded in different patterns. They didn't even need the command of Luo Xi, Liu Xiangyang and others to launch the barrage.

    The continuous time they fire artillery shells is not determined by the number of artillery shells, nor by whether the barrel is red, because if there are fewer shells, you can add them, and if the barrel is red, you can change it. It is the soldiers who carry the shells that determine the time of the shelling.

    As Feng Yuxiang and the others had guessed, each shell weighed dozens of kilograms, and it was nothing to carry ten or dozens of shells.  The body can still tolerate it, but it has to carry hundreds or hundreds of rounds.  Even an iron-clad body can't bear it.  After more than an hour of shelling, the artillery commander had no choice but to ask the infantry chief for help, asking them to send some strong soldiers to carry the shells.  The real artillery is only responsible for firing according to the fuze and control

    The defenders were quite calm at the beginning. They were all waiting for the Red Army's firing to stop, and they were all waiting for the shelling to stop before entering the fortifications, positions, and trenches.  However, they did not wait until the bombardment stopped, and they did not wait until the bombardment stopped. There were still deafening explosions in their ears, and the earth continued to tremble.

    Five minutes later, the shelling has not stopped; ten minutes later, the shelling has not stopped; thirty minutes later, the shelling still has not stopped; an hour later, the shelling is still going on; an hour and a half later, the earth is still shaking

    Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour, an hour It's easy to say, but in that explosive environment, even people with the best psychological quality will slowly begin to collapse. Under the intensive and long-term bombardment here,  , countless soldiers were vomiting, countless soldiers' ears and noses were shocked and bleeding, each one became violent and irritable, and each one began to become neurotic

    These people were lucky. After all, no shells fell directly on them, they were not torn apart by shrapnel, and they were not directly killed by explosions. They were still alive.

    But other people must be so lucky. After all, there were too many shells. The dense shells bombed back and forth, and the plows were plowed over and over again. There were not many safe places to hide, and even the craters that the veterans said would be bombed.  The last few times, it wasn't safe to hide in there.

    "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, what should we do? What should we do? The artillery fire of the communists will not stop at all. Our troops are about to collapse. If we let them bomb for a few more minutes, the troops will be finished." A senior officer said with a pale face.

    Although they were hiding in a basement more than 20 meters above the ground, they still felt like they were sitting in a cradle. No one did not feel sick and no one did not feel dizzy.  If this staff officer is halfHaving said these words an hour ago, the grumpy Feng Yuxiang might have immediately pulled out his pistol and shot him dead. Wouldn't this shake the morale of the military?

    But now he can¡¯t hold on anymore.

    He looked at the officers around him and saw that they all looked gloomy and miserable, so he said: "Then start an uprising. Immediately send a clear code telegram to the communist bandits, and the whole country will be telegraphed. Even if I join the Fei Shou  The army revolted under my order and are willing to obey the Communist bandits. No, it is time to call them the Red Army and obey the command of the Red Army."

    ¡°In fact, even if he didn¡¯t correct this sentence, the staff would not pronounce the words communist-bandit. Isn¡¯t this looking for death?

    After hearing Feng Yuxiang¡¯s words, the officers at the headquarters, including the security personnel, breathed a sigh of relief.  Even the military police who were given a special mission before the war to shoot and kill officers and soldiers who surrendered, were idle in fighting, or did not carry out orders also breathed a sigh of relief.

    After all, they are also human beings, and they also cherish their own lives. Who would obey those cruel orders when they know there is no hope?

    The officer who reported just now said to Feng Yuxiang: "Sir, in this case, the communist banditsthe Red Army still recognizes our uprising? We have no power to resist now, and the only way is to surrender.  Besides, if you declare an uprising, will they target your family?"

    Surrender is generally a helpless action taken when there is no other way out, and it can be forgiven to a certain extent.  An uprising is carried out while still being able to resist or retreat. It can be said to be a proactive action, but its nature is still different.

    But Feng Yuxiang waved his hand and said: "If I send out electricity like this, I believe the communists will recognize my uprising. Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang don't dare to do anything to my family. You say,  We are all like this. The most military forces around Nanjing have been taken away by the communist bandits. How many more days can they hold on? Can they not consider their retreat? "

    It has to be said that Feng Yuxiang is Feng Yuxiang after all, and his foresight was still very accurate. When his power was sent out, Guo Zhuocheng immediately ordered the bombardment to stop. The top leader of the Red Army in Chongqing and Guo Zhuocheng on the front line  Zhuochengdu sent a telegram to welcome General Feng Yuxiang to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and welcome him to lead his troops in the uprising.

    The reason why the Red Army recognized his uprising was because his influence was too great. As the third in command of the Nanjing government and the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, his uprising was not just about how many officers and soldiers he could lead, but also the number of officers and soldiers he led.  What's more important is his impact on the national situation. His uprising will completely shake the triangular framework of Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, and Feng Yuxiang. It will break up these three running carriages and make the northwest of the country more vulnerable.  The army defected to the Red Army as quickly as possible.

    If they don't recognize his uprising, the other Northwest Army may not surrender immediately. They probably don't have to worry about Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang not taking measures against them. But if they recognize his uprising, the Northwest Army will have to worry day and night.  Will Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang send troops to disarm them?

    When the artillery battle stopped, countless defenders emerged from the mud and staggered towards the Red Army position, shouting that we quit and would no longer be soldiers. Even if they were shot, they would surrender.  Because many wired telephone lines in the position were interrupted, Feng Yuxiang's order did not and could not be issued to every combat unit, but these troops who did not receive the order surrendered immediately.

    They don¡¯t care whether Feng Yuxiang surrenders or rebels, as long as he no longer suffers such horrific bombardment. Even if you are safe underground, it will be extremely uncomfortable. Life is really worse than death.

    So after the artillery fire of the Red Army stopped, when Feng Yuxiang ordered the troops to gather and march to the place designated by the Red Army, he was embarrassed to find that he had only a few thousand officers and soldiers, not even 10,000 people.  Without them, other officers and soldiers would have surrendered to the Red Army long ago. Of course, more than 20,000 unlucky officers and soldiers were killed by artillery fire, and now even the bodies can't be found.

    The surrendered soldiers looked at Hefei City in despair, and they saw that the Red Army still showed mercy, because most of the targets they bombarded were streets, fortifications, and positions. Although these places were bombed back and forth ten times, these places  The original appearance cannot be seen at all. Even the stones have turned into dust. One crater is next to another, and craters appear on top of each other, layer upon layer. If we evaluate the efficiency of bombardment, I am afraid that the effectiveness of this bombing is not high. After all, the defenders  Humans are not machines. No officers and soldiers foolishly ran to these places that were subject to continuous bombing. In other words, bombing these places three or four times is basically enough. There is no need to bomb back and forth ten times. The subsequent bombing is a pure waste of artillery shells.
