Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sun Haibin was extremely jealous of the Second Brigade's great achievements and the honor of being awarded the title by the Commander-in-Chief, so this time he made a big effort to break through the enemy's position.  He dared to do this and felt confident.

    Let¡¯s talk about equipment first. If Wei Hongjun¡¯s first division wants to attack, it has to gather all the automatic rifles of the division for one regiment.  The second brigade does not need it. Each soldier of the direct division has an M1918 and each has an M1911.  Directly under the division is not just a talk, from weapons and equipment to logistics support, priority is given to supply.

    Besides, the quality of the soldiers is the troops of the system reward, and the quality of its own personnel will be high in all troops in China.  Even if it is comparable to the elites from abroad, it is not inferior.  After a battle with the Japanese army in the Northeast, the soldiers of the Second Brigade became more confident.

    This is the source of Sun Haibin¡¯s confidence. The Second Brigade has such strength.  The fighting in the past few days has been a bit frustrating. Being suppressed by enemies who are inferior to ourselves, the whole brigade is feeling suffocated.  Now when Sun Haibin said that the division had given them the assault task, everyone was very excited.

    Sun Haibin understands the importance of speed. If it were a little later, the enemy might have reacted.  If they adjust their deployment and want to attack again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

    After gathering the troops together, Sun Haibin ordered the artillery to start to provide fire suppression for the infantry brothers.

    Today, it is rare for the National Defense Forces not to attack, and there is no order to attack from above.  The soldiers were a little relaxed, and just in time to catch up with the plane to drop leaflets, the soldiers were still discussing whether the contents of the leaflets were true or false.  No wonder they and even the division commanders and chiefs of staff at the division headquarters are talking about this matter.  After all, it is not a trivial matter for a military commander to be captured.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    The sound of the cannon was like thunder on the ground.  Interrupted the discussion of leaflets among the Northern Expeditionary Army officers and soldiers.  After the shelling, many people went directly to see Sun Yat-sen.

    At the Sixth Division Headquarters, Division Commander Dai Yue is receiving congratulations from his subordinates.  Dai Yue was not in a good mood. In the morning, he received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek that he was promoted to army commander. Dai Yue knew that this was not a good thing.  He has not done any meritorious service, so getting promoted before battle is never a good thing.  Tan Yantong was a military commander and was captured. Now that he is a military commander, if he loses the battle, he can't let him be captured as well.  If you are still a teacher, then it is nothing.  The army commanders have all surrendered, so what do I mean as a division commander?

    "Lao Jiang is trying to make himself hold on, yes, hold on. Ordinarily, they should be on the offensive side when they return to support Guangdong.  However, because most of Guangdong was occupied by the National Defense Forces, the Direct Division and the First Division were originally attacking northward, so the Northern Expedition could only switch from offense to defense.  In a confrontation, it can be said that the Northern Expeditionary Army has no chance of winning.

    Everyone was congratulating Dai Yue when the intelligence officer interrupted everyone.

    "Reporting to the division seat, Commander Liu of the 18th Regiment called. The enemy gathered about 1 regiment of troops and attacked our left wing. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Please support!"

    Dai Yue was stunned after reading the report.  Just as he was about to say something, another intelligence officer came over.

    "Reporting to the division commander, Commander Liao of the 17th Regiment called. The enemy gathered superior forces and stormed our headquarters. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Please support!"

    Dai Yue quickly walked to the map and took a look. The two regiments that came to report were exactly where his defense was weakest.

    "Oh no, after the enemy captured Commander Tan, they must have obtained our army's troop deployment plan." Chief of Staff Xiao Wenduo was the first to react and shouted.

    Dai Yue also realized that he had made a mistake. Now that he knew that the army commander had been captured, he should adjust his troops.  Now I want to transfer again, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s still possible.

    "Which unit of our army is closest to the 17th and 18th regiments?" Dai Yue asked quickly while looking at the map.

    "It's a unit of the First Army. I don't know which one it is specifically." Xiao Wenduo replied.

    "Immediately send a message to the First Army. Request for support. Then send a message to the instructor commander Chen Jiayou and order him to detach a regiment to support us." Dai Yue thought for a while and ordered.

    "Yes!" Xiao Wenduo agreed and quickly drafted the message.

    After receiving the telegram, He Yingqin, commander of the First Army, smiled and said to Chief of Staff Jiang Bocheng: "This Second Army is really unlucky. The commander just let the prisoners be captured, and now the military situation in the position is urgent."

    "Then what should we do? Should we support them?" Jiang Bocheng asked.

    "Of course we need support. I still understand the principle of death and coldness. If I remember correctly, the closest ones to the 17th and 18th Regiment are the Xue Yue Department of the 3rd Regiment and the Wei Lihuang Department of the 9th Regiment." He Yingqin smiled.

    "That's right, they are the two regiments." Jiang Bocheng echoed again as if he was praising him. There is no way He Yingqin is too strong, and he himself is also very capable. The main role of Jiang Bocheng, the chief of staff, is to praise.

    "Give themReport it, let them quickly reinforce the friendly forces, and make sure that the position is not lost!  "He Yingqin is also very satisfied with this partner. Jiang Bocheng knows how to behave and always puts his own opinions first.

    Just when Jiang Bocheng drafted an order to send to Xue Yue and Wei Lihuang, Sun Haibin's troops had already rushed to the Second Army's position and started a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.

    At this time, the quality of the soldiers of the Second Brigade was reflected. They fought one-on-one with the soldiers of the Northern Expedition with bayonets, and they had the overall upper hand.

    The 17th and 18th regiments had not seen reinforcements arriving for a long time, but instead there were more and more enemies. Seeing that the situation was not right, Liu Feng, the commander of the 18th regiment, ordered some people to cut off and fled with his troops first.

    After conquering a position, Sun Haibin ordered the soldiers to hold on to the position while leading the soldiers to quickly march towards the headquarters of the Sixth Division on the military deployment map.

    "Reporting to the Military Seat, Liu Feng, the commander of the 18th Regiment, called. The enemy has broken through the defense line." The intelligence officer just received the words from Chief of Staff Xiao Wenduo. It was not called the Military Seat but the Military Seat.

    "Have the reinforcements from the First Army not arrived yet?!" Dai Yue asked anxiously

    "Not only the First Army, but also our instructor's troops have not been able to catch up." Xiao Wenduo said with a bitter smile.

    "Immediately send a telegram to the instructor, telling them to rush to the position of the 18th Regiment as soon as possible, and together with the reinforcements of the 1st Army, cooperate with the 18th Regiment to regain the position!" Dai Yue can only hope for the instructor and the 1st Army now!  Army reinforcements arrived.

    "Yes. Military seat."

    The division headquarters directly under the National Defense Forces.  Looking at the telegram from Sun Haibin, Zhang Qifeng was overjoyed.

    "Unexpectedly, Sun Haibin's little finger didn't brag. He said he would break through the enemy's position, and he actually did it. Now they are like a nail wedged in the enemy's position, and they will face the enemy's crazy blocking. Order all ministries,  Take the initiative immediately to reduce the burden on the second brigade." Zhang Qifeng smiled happily and then ordered.

    The direct divisions attacked across the board, and all the positions of the Second Army were in emergency.

    "A telegram was sent from Luo Shouyi of the 13th Military Regiment. The enemy is attacking fiercely. Requesting for support."

    "Reporting to the military, a telegram was sent from Zhu Gangwei's department of the 15th Regiment. The enemy's firepower is fierce and our department should be unable to withstand it. Requesting fire support."

    "Reporting to the military, the 17th Regiment"

    Bad news came one after another, and Dai Yue didn't know what to say.  He did not expect that the division directly under the Second Army, which had been confronting the Second Army for several days, would suddenly take over the headquarters of the Second Army, and launch an all-out attack to catch the Second Army by surprise.

    "Reporting to the military, something bad has happened. A small enemy force has reached our headquarters. The guard battalion is already blocking the front. Let's retreat quickly." Deputy Division Commander Zhu Yaohua walked in in a hurry and said.  .

    "What, the enemy is coming!" Dai Yue was shocked.  Only then did he understand Tan Yankai's mood at that time.  With Tan Yankai's experience, he naturally knew what to do.

    "Quickly, pack up the important things and retreat while you're at home!" At this time, I couldn't care about the troops anymore, everything was empty, only my nickname mattered.

    Besides, Xue Yue and Wei Lihuang of the First Army were ordered to rescue the 17th and 18th Regiments, and they happened to collide with the troops of the Second Brigade.  Seeing that the troops could not defeat the second brigade, Xue Yue and Wei Lihuang ordered the troops to withdraw without fighting, but they did not want to be cut off by the second regiment of the first brigade.  Seeing that something was forbidden, they surrendered obediently.

    "Damn it. These people ran so fast. I almost caught them!" Sun Haibin looked at the messy headquarters. Even the water in the tea cup was hot. It looked like he had just run away.  long time.

    "You take the brothers from your company to pursue them. At this time, they can only escape in the direction of the Fourth Army. If they can't catch anyone in half an hour, they will come back!" Sun Haibin said to a company who was preparing to catch the big fish with him.  Chang said.

    "Yes. Brigadier." The company commander saluted him and led his troops to pursue the fleeing senior officers of the Second Army.

    "Brigadier Commander, our division commander is partial. Why did we give the assault task to the second brigade? We didn't know anything in advance. This is unfair."

    "That's right, that's right, why should we let them attack? We are stepmothers."

    Zhang Zhonglin smiled at the dissatisfaction of his officers, and then scolded: "What do you have to argue about? We eat meat, but we have to let people have soup. Are you taking all the benefits? Besides,"  He changed the topic, "After all, the credit for this achievement is all made by our direct division. At this time, the first division must be more depressed than us!"

    "Haha, yes, they are more depressed!"

    "No matter how crazy they are, they will be the firstCan a division teacher compare with our direct division division?  !  "

    Zhang Zhonglin was right. The First Division was indeed depressed, especially Wei Hongjun. Unexpectedly, he originally wanted to take advantage of the night to attack and seize the credit for breaking through the enemy's defense line first.  I didn't expect that the direct brigade would do it during the day, so I was one step too late!

    No matter how upset you are at this time, there is nothing you can do. All you can do is to eliminate the enemy as soon as possible. You can't let others break through the front line for several days without making any progress on your side.

    This time Zhang Qifeng was not reckless. After almost dealing with the Second Army, he ordered the Second Brigade and the First Division to attack the positions of the First Army and the Fourth Army.

    Although the First Army and the Fourth Army are two armies, the troops have been dismantled and have not been reorganized. There is no difference in strength from the Second Army. The two armies originally had 31 regiments, but now there are only 14  Two regiments were defeated by the direct division, leaving only 12 regiments.  Although the First Division and the Second Brigade only had 6 regiments, their combat effectiveness was very different. In addition, one of the two sides had high morale, while the other was not interested in fighting. In just one night, the entire Northern Expeditionary Army collapsed.  To be continued.  .
