Battalion Commander Han's reaction speed was also very fast. He pulled up the reins and grabbed the panicked war horse. The war horse was frightened by the gunshots and screamed non-stop. After calming down, he quickly jumped off the horse and listened to the intermittent roars from the ridges on both sides. Gunfire, he immediately shouted:
"Damn it, just a few broken guns will scare you! The first company attacks the left side, the second company attacks the right side, and the third company and Chief Shen's troops cover on the spot!"
The stabilized Battalion Commander Han made a little judgment and deduced that there would not be too many Red Army soldiers ambushing on both sides, and immediately ordered an attack on both sides. He judged in his heart that this Red Army would be cut off to attack the county town, and there would be few left behind. It's already at the end of its battle, and it doesn't have much fighting power.
The adjutant of Battalion Commander Han was slightly pleased: "It seems that County Magistrate Shen's judgment is correct. The enemy will allocate part of its troops to attack the county town, and there will not be too many troops left. After wiping out this Red Army, the battalion commander will again A rich addition to your resume!”
His adjutant continued: "Many commanders died during the Central Plains War. When the war is over, I believe the battalion commander can continue to rise with his rich colors!"
"This attack is just an egg hitting a stone, a few broken spears trying to stop my progress."
Battalion Commander Han, who had completely calmed down, had a smile on his face. He laughed loudly and said: "And speaking of it, this Red Army really came in time. I asked my men to beat me hard. I can't let this Red Army get into the forest. , if they go into the woods again, it will be difficult to find them."
He knew the cunningness of the Red Army. Once they entered the woods, they would be as slippery as fish entering the water. They must be completely left on the high ground.
Little did they know that there were two battalions of Red Army troops ambushed on this high ground. They were waiting for the enemy to rush up and then strike them head-on.
The commander of the first company of the Korean battalion, who was responsible for attacking the heights on the left, held a pistol and directed his soldiers to attack the mountain. He also felt a little happy in his heart. The Red Army's gunshots were intermittent on the ridge on the left, and only a few soldiers were injured. They were injured, and they had already rushed to the halfway point of the mountain.
Han Ying had merit in encircling and suppressing the Red Army, so how could he not have merit in attacking the Red Army?
After capturing the Red Army on this highland, the Korean camp will be promoted in the future, and he may take over the Korean camp's position. Thinking of this, the Korean camp's first company commander showed an excited look on his face, holding a pistol and shooting randomly towards the mountain, and then leaned over. Behind the stone, he shouted:
"Brothers, rush up to me and kill a communist bandit, and I will reward you with an ocean from my own pocket!"
A few ocean coins are not worth mentioning for the upcoming promotion. The higher the position, the more places he can make money. At this moment, his mind is full of dreams of promotion and wealth. You must know that killing a communist bandit currently has a huge risk. The good thing is that during the White Terror period, the Chiang Group had rewards for arresting people, and this is still the case today.
Otherwise, who would be willing to do such a thankless task as encircling and suppressing the Red Army, because killing communist bandits can lead to promotion and wealth. Therefore, some officials at the time were quite interested in encircling and suppressing communist bandits, especially as the more battles were won, the higher the rank. The job will be faster.
No one likes to get promoted and make a fortune.
However, their sweet dream is about to turn into a horrific nightmare.
While the enemy was frantically attacking the hilltop, the commanders of the second and third battalions looked at the enemy with skirmish lines attacking high and low, and their hearts were filled with joy. What the regiment leader taught was indeed correct, and they adopted this method of showing weakness.
Sure enough, I can catch fish.
If a company of enemies attacks a high ground stationed by a battalion, even if more than half of the battalion's soldiers do not have guns, it is not something that this company can attack.
What's more, their battalion has undergone a strict training plan formulated by Xia Yuan. A strong army must undergo rigorous training. The more rigorous the training, the more powerful the combat effectiveness, the higher the possibility of surviving on the battlefield, and the more likely it is to kill the enemy.
The more.
"Calm down and wait until the enemy is ten meters closer before shooting!"
Hu Xianfeng held a gun and shouted, staring intently at the attacking enemy.
At this time, the enemy was like a chicken. Killing one Communist bandit would give you a piece of ocean, and killing two would give you two pieces. They were all veterans of the war. From the sound of gunshots, you could tell that there were not many Communist bandits on the mountain, so
Everyone held back their energy and attacked up the mountain, hoping to kill one or two more Red Army soldiers.
However, when they were more than ten meters closer to the high ground, they were suddenly stunned.
On a crooked ridge, you can vaguely see rows of evenly spaced hat brims. Even though there are leaves and weeds pinned to the hats, the red star is really eye-catching.
"No, we were fooled!"
A soldier shouted, and a string of bullets hit his head and face. The enemy who was caught off guard fell down like wheat.
On the road, landmines exploded one after another, and a feeling like the earth was shaking suddenly came over them. Dust flew up to ten feet high, squinting their eyes and blocking their sight. They stayed on the road and tried to help.
The soldiers of the two companies attacking the high ground were badly bombed.
The soldier with the gun pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger, quickly emptying the five bullets in the magazine. After a round of fierce shooting, while destroying a large number of enemies, a loud trumpet sounded on the ridge, and all the soldiers shook their heads slightly.
He arched his body, holding a broadsword or a red-tasseled gun in his hand, like a tiger about to descend the mountain.
Sun Zhiyong put away his gun and carried a broad knife. He stood up and raised the broad knife high, "Kill! Annihilate them all!"
Screams came from all over the mountain, and the sound of 'killing' was heard everywhere, and the sound of killing was loud and loud.
At the same time, a large number of firecrackers sounded behind them. A large number of militiamen gathered behind the high ground. They lit long firecrackers and threw them into iron barrels to simulate the sound of gunfire. They lit the firecrackers and shouted, "
Kill and charge to expand the momentum of the charging second and third battalions.
The shouts and gunshots simulating firecrackers echoed throughout the valley, frightening all the enemies. They looked around in panic, not knowing what to do.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s a mess, it’s already a mess.
In less than thirty seconds, the entire situation was completely reversed. The sudden and violent attack shocked all the enemies at the foot of the mountain. The company commander who attacked the high ground was confused. Battalion Commander Han and the adjutant who were confident of victory at the foot of the mountain were also confused.
Suddenly, something they didn't expect happened.
There were loud killing sounds everywhere, directly overwhelming them in terms of momentum.
The enemies who originally attacked on the mountain fled instantly. The orderly formation on the road was shattered by continuous mines. They were confused amidst the shouts of killing everywhere and fired randomly. Some people were even hit.
Without her own people, Yanran has become a mess.
"There are enemies everywhere, there are enemies everywhere!"
Two battalions of the Red Army rushed down from the two highlands, and three Red Army soldiers forming a fighting group were everywhere. The fear of the people under the tension was infinitely amplified, so that the enemies suddenly felt jealous when they saw this scene.
crack,
The adjutant shouted: "Batalion Commander, let's run, there are enemies everywhere!"
Battalion Commander Han woke up from his confusion and ordered in a panic: "Retreat, retreat!" His heart was filled with despair, and at the same time he was filled with anger.
On the way to retreat, there were enemy figures rushing down everywhere on both sides. This was not just a company of enemies, but their strength far exceeded them.
It was too chaotic. Only a few people received his order, and a large number of people were still in chaos. They looked around in confusion. Some people ran forward, some ran back, and some were shooting randomly on the spot.
The battle lasted less than ten minutes, but the situation turned out to be one-sided.
Xia Yuan's tactics completely control the enemy's psychology in his own hands. First, he takes advantage of the enemy's arrogance and uses a few people to shoot, so that the enemy has the illusion that the enemy is weak and we are strong. When they are full of confidence,
Full, they arrived at the high ground as if they were sure of victory, and suddenly stunned the enemy with a round of rapid fire, then launched a direct charge and sent a large number of militiamen to assist them, thus creating the illusion that our army was extremely powerful.
People are very sensitive to the surrounding environment in chaotic situations, and at the same time, people's insight will continue to decline under nervous and chaotic emotions. In this way, an enemy's battalion of troops instantly becomes a mess, and it is no longer possible to organize effective resistance.
, a large number of attacking Red Army soldiers rushed into the chaotic enemy group and massacred the enemies.
Many Red Army soldiers went to the battlefield to kill for the first time, but seeing the blood surge and the fierce fighting around them, the adrenaline in their bodies would surge, causing them to overcome their inner fears, and the environment would affect them and change them.
The battle in the valley lasted for more than half an hour. The second and third battalions cooperated with each other to encircle and annihilate four enemy companies. In the end, only seventy or eighty people escaped. The rest were all blocked in the valley and did not get out.
Most of them were killed or wounded. When the Red Army soldiers dispersed them, many people only saw the figures of the Red Army everywhere and could no longer see themselves, so they knelt on the ground and raised their guns to surrender.
The few enemies who resisted were rushed over by Sun Zhiyong with the men of the Second Battalion and defeated.
Hu Xianfeng, commander of the third battalion who was chasing the retreating enemy, ran over and said: "Old Sun, the enemy has escaped. I can't catch up. Grandma, he ran so fast."
Sun Zhiyong said happily: "It's okay, they can't run away. Don't forget that the first battalion is blocking them at Sanpingdu and Shibanqiao. Let them run. Let's clean the battlefield quickly and count the casualties."
"Um."
On the other side, as soon as the fighting started between the second and third battalions, the scouts of the first battalion received the news and quickly went to the ambush site of the first battalion and passed the news to the commander of the first battalion. The scouts who were ambushing halfway saw the retreating
The enemy was approaching their ambush position, so they quickly notified the soldiers in the forest to light up the smoke.
The first battalion commander who received the news showed a smile on his face: "My dear, I can finally direct a battle in person. Come on, stop reinforcing the fortifications and hide them. The enemy will be here soon."
About ten minutes later, a group of enemies fleeing in panic appeared in their sight. The commander of the first battalion and the second company quickly ordered the soldiers to hide in the fortifications and wait for their battalion commander's order to launch an attack.
"Looking at this group of enemies, there are dozens of them. It seems that the battle ahead went smoothly. The enemies have all been defeated. They can no longer even maintain their formation."
The second company commander squinted at the group of people appearing in the distance. The fleeing company could not maintain its formation. This showed that the second and third battalions responsible for the ambush in front had achieved a huge victory.
The second company commander said: "It's a pity that they ate meat, so we can only drink some soup. Yang Ming, let the soldiers get ready for battle."
"yes!"
Soon, the fleeing enemies arrived at the blocking position of the first battalion.
At this time, the exhausted Battalion Commander Han and others who were fleeing were panting. Battalion Commander Han looked behind with a hint of horror. The gray-faced adjutant said: "Batalion Commander, the enemy has not caught up."
Battalion Commander Han slowed down and said with an ashen face: "It's over, everything is over, we were careless and got into the enemy's way. There are only so many people in one battalion or the whole battalion who escaped!"
The adjutant had a bitter look on his face. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said: "Battalion Commander, if you want to blame it, it's Shen Bushi who gave us wrong information. As a result, our brothers in the battalion were surrounded and annihilated by the Communist bandits.
With such a small number of people coming out, if his intelligence is accurate enough, we will be able to respond in advance, so let’s make a quick announcement.”
Talking about County Magistrate Shen, the adjutant gritted his teeth and said: "When we were preparing for the dinner last night, I felt that Shen Bushi was not a good person. Today when I went to the communist base area, I walked to the Western Mountains and the county town was attacked by the enemy.
, you say it’s a coincidence or not.”
Battalion Commander Han narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you suspect that Shen Bushi is involved with the Communist Army?"
The adjutant nodded and said: "There must be some involvement. Even if there is no involvement, there must be some connection. This Shen Bushi deliberately left a company behind. Could it be that this company is specifically to help the Communist bandits? Battalion Commander, think about it, we are an integrated unit
The battalion, with 400 people, can withstand even half an hour no matter how bad it is. We have already experienced the weapons and equipment of the Communist bandits when they were in West Hankou. Many of the weapons have old sleeves, and most of the better weapons have
They captured us."
He said: "On the other hand, the number of communist bandits here is terrifying, and the fierce firepower is heart-stopping. At least there was a regiment of communist bandits who just ambushed us, and their weapons and equipment are good enough. Otherwise, how could they survive in such a short period of time?"
Within a short period of time, all the brothers in our battalion will be surrounded and annihilated."
Hearing the adjutant's words, Battalion Commander Han fell into deep thought. The adjutant added: "I even suspect that the company left behind by Shen Bushi was left behind to help the Red Army quickly eliminate them."
Battalion Commander Han frowned and seemed to begin to believe his adjutant's words.
Just as he was thinking about it and walking forward, another burst of gunfire suddenly came from the distance. Bullets shot out from the ridges on both sides and hit the ground. The soil splashed and craters appeared one after another. A large number of fleeing enemies were killed. The bullet hit him and he fell to the ground.
At this moment, the defeated soldiers who had just escaped and survived the disaster fell into despair again.
