    In response to Ye Chao's doubts, Yang Zhen waved his hands and said: "It is precisely because there is no gunfire in the northeast that we cannot break out in that direction. It is also precisely because the southwest is the enemy's main attack direction that we have to break out in that direction. The reason  Quite simply, the absence of gunfire does not mean that the enemy is not ambushing."

    "With a large number of enemy troops already appearing in three directions: east, southwest, and north of our army, don't you think it's a little weird that the northeast is so quiet? Indeed, the 52nd Division and the 40th Division are in the northeast.  The joint part, but the joint part does not mean that the troops are weak. Don't forget that a regiment of the 52nd Division has bypassed the obstruction of the Third Regiment and is heading south. "

    "According to the original plan, the Third Regiment has already evacuated the road from Bangshan to Langqiao at this time. In other words, there are no more troops of our army to defend the front of the 52nd Division. The main force of the 52nd Division should also be on the way now.  Press on us. But we still don¡¯t know where they are. The information we have is from a few hours ago.¡±

    "In front of two enemies, light and dark, if it were me, I would choose the open enemy. Moreover, the enemy's 40th Division in the southeast came from the Sanxi front line to reinforce Xingtan. They fought fiercely with our army for half a night. They were extremely tired and suffered no casualties.  Light. And after the fierce battle in the middle of the night, we already know the entire deployment situation of the enemy in the southeast of Xingtan."

    "Choose the southeast direction to break out. Although it may require a hard battle, it is much better than encountering one or even two fully formed regiments. When the enemy's situation is unknown, it is more appropriate to choose an opponent who has been exposed.  . You must know that it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows.¡±

    Just when Ye Chao, who heard that Yang Zhen had finally decided to retreat, was about to go out to convey the order, the battalion commander who stayed to block the 40th Division's counterattack and cover the main force's breakout was carrying a shell gun with its nose wide open.  He came in happily and said: "Political Commissar, Chief Ye, the enemy troops in front of us suddenly withdrew. And there was intensive gunfire just now from the direction of Madu Bridge behind Xingtan. It seems that our troops have hit  Madu Bridge.¡±

    When Yang Zhen heard this in person, his heart suddenly moved.  He immediately grabbed the telescope on the table, stood up and said to Ye Chao and Yin Yang beside him: "Ye Chao, hurry up and prepare. When the rear guard camp arrives, the entire army will break out. Yin Yang and I will go to the front to take a look.  , what is going on.¡±

    When he arrived at the forward position, Yang Zhen discovered that the enemy in front of him was just as the battalion commander said. Not only had all the troops disappeared, but judging from the large amount of materials left behind, it could be said that the retreat was in a panic.

    At this time, apart from dozens of wounded soldiers, the Forty Division's already empty position not only dropped a large amount of ammunition, but also dropped a Type 24 heavy machine gun with its legs in the air.  There were even dozens of wounded soldiers who were not able to evacuate in time.  Yang Zhen stepped forward and touched the water-filled sleeve outside the barrel. It was still hot.

    Looking at the messy enemy position and hearing the gunshots coming from the direction of Madu Bridge, Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all. He turned his head and said to the defenders who had arrived: "I will give you my guard company. You guys  Everyone, put on your bayonets and bring all your light machine guns, and attack me immediately towards the front line of Madu Bridge."

    "When encountering enemies, don't hesitate. Use grenades and light machine guns from a distance, and use bayonets from close range. In short, no matter how many enemies you face, in one word, just hit me hard. Wherever there is gunfire, go there.  Go ahead. Remember, I'm right behind you."

    After hearing Yang Zhen's order, Ye Chao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Political Commissar, please be careful and send a unit to conduct reconnaissance. Don't you think that with the Forty Division having the upper hand, their retreat is somewhat  Inexplicable? He was so panicked that he even lost his heavy machine gun."

    Regarding Ye Chao's worries, Yang Zhen thought for a moment, but shook his head and said: "There is nothing to worry about. No matter what medicine they sell in the gourd, for us, these enemies in front of us are all obvious enemies.  As long as we chase them down, there won't be any big problem. When it comes to ambush and ambush warfare, they are still far behind. At worst, it will only be a bloody battle."

    The rearguard battalion commander heard Yang Zhen's order and knew that the situation was urgent. Without any hesitation, he left one company as the rearguard, and the rest, together with the attached guard company, formed a three-way column with bayonets on the guns.  An assault was launched towards the front line of Madu Bridge.

    After the rearguard battalion launched a breakout operation, Yang Zhen gathered the remnants of the battalion originally deployed in Xingtan into a company.  Cover heavy machine guns and mortars to provide fire cover for the troops' breakout operations.  Yang Zhen never thought that he could take these heavy machine guns and mortars across the river.  The bullets and mortars were like splashing water on the troops of the 448th Regiment of the 148th Division who were retreating to the Sanxi front line.

    When YangAfter the breakout operation began, the 448th Regiment, which was retreating to the Sanxi front line, was obviously confused.  In fact, if the reinforcements to Xingtan were the troops of the 40th Division, this so-called dramatic turning point would not have occurred so quickly.  The 40th Division, which was adapted from the Tax Police Corps, is not only well-equipped, but its combat effectiveness is second only to the elite 52nd Division of the Central Army in the third theater.

    But as the general of the Central Army, Fang Riying, the commander of the 40th Division, obviously did not trust the 148th Division, which was reorganized from the 5th Division of the Sichuan Army before leaving Sichuan.  At the most critical moment of the war, in addition to withdrawing the 120th Regiment, which had been crippled in Xingtan, back to Sanxi Town, where the division headquarters was located, the first part of the 119th Regiment was deployed on the Langqiao front line.

    The 118th Regiment, which originally played a key role in the Xingtan counterattack but suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, withdrew behind the 448th Regiment, and the 448th Regiment took over the main attack.  And his 118th Regiment built a position behind the 448th Regiment, not only to build a second line of defense, but also to watch the 448th Regiment, a miscellaneous force, play a disguised role in supervising the battle.

    What Commander Fang didn't expect was that the Central Army system, which he and almost all the Central Army generals adhered to, had always been to block the holes of the enemy with miscellaneous troops, while the direct troops sat behind and supervised the operations. However, at this critical juncture,  Something went terribly wrong.

    As a miscellaneous force from the Sichuan Army, the 148th Division was adapted from the miscellaneous troops recruited by the King of Sichuan during the melee in Sichuan.  As a motley crew among motley crews, having been entangled in the vortex of the Civil War in central Sichuan for decades, this division has a very strong sense of self-preservation.

    Moreover, as a miscellaneous unit, its own combat effectiveness, equipment, and training are not comparable to those of the Forty Division, which is the elite of the Central Army, or the 144th Division and the 145th Division, which are composed of the Sichuan Army's most elite instructors, model divisions, or  Compared with the troops adapted from the first, second and third divisions of the main troops, they are also very different.

    "Compared to the Central Army such as the 40th Division and the 52nd Division, local troops such as the 144th Division and the 145th Division are no-name.  So the 148th Division, which was adapted from the Fifth Division of the 21st Army of the Sichuan Army, is a miscellaneous brand among miscellaneous brands.  Although it is better than the super no-names like the 22nd Army, it is not much better.  At best, the weapons and equipment are not that shabby.

    Moreover, adhering to mutual vigilance, the Sichuan Army generals who were afraid that the Central Army would use their swords to kill people sent the 448th Regiment of the 148th Division to reinforce the 40th Division. As an unknown force among the elite Sichuan Army, their equipment and training were even worse.  A lot of.  The entire regiment has no more than a thousand combat soldiers, and its equipment is mainly Sichuan-made rifles when it came out of Sichuan.

    Among the three battalions, only one was equipped with Hanyang-made rifles, but Commander Fang left him behind to look after his home and hospital.  There are only two heavy machine guns in the entire regiment, and each company has only two light machine guns copied from the Sichuan Arsenal.  The equipment was shabby, not much better than that of the 88th Army, which was equipped by the commander himself.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For those motley military generals, who is a good boy who will live on the kangtou of someone else¡¯s house?  Especially when fighting with the Central Army.  After two years of war of resistance, all local army generals who have become familiar with the Central Army's tactics of killing people with a knife and even taking advantage of the opportunity to disarm and annex have some reservations when cooperating with the Central Army.  He was afraid that the few troops he relied on for survival would be swallowed up by others inadvertently.

    However, as a member of the Sichuan King's direct troops, although he is a no-name, he is a little better than those no-names among the no-names.  In addition to being equipped with heavy machine guns that are not commonly found in the Sichuan Army's miscellaneous units, the 448th Regiment also has two Sichuan-made 47mm mortars.

    The Central Army and the miscellaneous army are on guard against each other, which has been a common sight on the frontal battlefield during the War of Resistance.  The Central Military Commission looks down upon and distrusts those local nomads.  On the battlefield, motley crews are often placed in the most dangerous positions.  Even when fighting together, miscellaneous troops are often used separately.  Even the current encirclement and suppression of troops in southern Anhui was no exception.

    The Third War Zone used the 108th Division of the Northeast Army system, but the 108th Division was dismantled to pieces.  Among the two brigades and four regiments under the 108th Division, the three regiments that participated in the war were all placed under the command of the 52nd Division of the Central Army.  One division headquarters and two brigade headquarters were emptied out in the blink of an eye.  Except for one regiment, even the division-affiliated teams were taken away.

    Although the Sichuan Army participating in the war belonged to the 50th Army, the 21st Army and the 1st Section of the 23rd Army.  But all the troops came, but the command organization remained in place.  Each unit is either assigned to the command of the Central Army or directly under the command of the group army headquarters.  The former military headquarters became the commander of the Air Force.

    A regiment with the smallest strength among the regiment-level organizations among the three war zones participating in the war is now split into two pieces.  After arriving at the front line of Xingtan, he was directly pushed to the front line.  The Central Army, which was originally equipped with elite equipment, has become a bystander and supervises the battle team. No one will be too happy about this change.

      When gunfire rang out on the front line of Madu Bridge, the 118th Regiment of the 40th Division behind them turned back and marched eastward to reinforce the front line of Madu Bridge.  The 448th Regiment, who did not want to stay as a scapegoat, simply stopped doing anything and directly withdrew its troops in the name of supporting the 118th Regiment.  For fear of being careless and staying here to take the blame for the 119th Regiment, the 448th Regiment didn't even bother to pack up the wounded soldiers and the 40th Division's ammunition that had just arrived at the Xingtan front line to replenish it.

    Even because they left in such a hurry, one of the only two heavy machine guns in the whole regiment was simply discarded because it had a fault that was not too big and could be repaired in a short period of time.  In the eyes of these people, as long as the foundation is preserved, that is, the army.  The weapon is lost, but you can still think of a way.  But if all the troops are exhausted, then I will be nothing
