One after another, several cavalrymen rushed to the Sichuan army's defense line. They raised their sabers. The flashing sabers sent a bone-chilling chill. The leader's horse jumped over the simple trench and rushed into the team.
, his eyes were full of blood, and he was about to swing the sword to reap the life. The moment he raised the saber high, the sound of a pistol was heard, and a string of bullets passed through his chest, shattering all the internal organs.
, blood kept coming out from his mouth and nose.
He fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, and then several other bandits who rushed to the front were also killed. In the blink of an eye, the bandits had dropped about two hundred corpses in front of the position. The leader
Already dead, they completely lost their fighting spirit and retreated one after another.
However, it was obviously not a good choice for them to retreat. The Sichuan soldiers had just paid more than forty lives, and they were in the midst of the fire. As soon as they retreated, they had to withstand the baptism of mortars and machine guns again, and finally successfully evacuated.
There are only about thirty people.
Li Hongbin has been watching the battle from a distance. Seeing such heavy losses, Li Hongbin gradually became worried. The Sichuan army is definitely not comparable to other officers and soldiers. The Sichuan army has fierce firepower and tenacious fighting will, and they also have a numerical advantage. Here
This is another person's territory, so my chances of winning are really slim.
At this moment, Li Hongbin heard another buzzing sound. It turned out that two planes appeared in the sky, flying over their heads, drawing a beautiful arc and flying back. Seeing this, Li Hongbin was in his heart
He is getting more and more anxious. The Sichuan Army has now targeted him with planes. He is in a condescending position. If he wants to escape, he can only wait until night and use the darkness to protect himself.
No matter what, we have to get through this afternoon. Just when Li Hongbin was dispatching his troops, the Sichuan Army's brigade had already rushed over. The entire Sichuan Army's formation took on the shape of a fan and was divided into three groups to press against the bandit army. Qiao Yu
He personally led a brigade and an artillery regiment as the main offensive force to directly attack the bandit positions outside Baidi City. The remaining brigade and the cavalry regiment were divided into two groups to intercept the bandit army's retreat route.
Qiao Yu personally inspected the artillery position. The leader of this artillery regiment was Wang Zanxu. Since the Sichuan-Yunnan War, Wang Zanxu had risen rapidly. He also wanted to make meritorious service and receive awards, and was commanding his subordinates to work hard.
"Chai Ni, although the bandit army is not strong in combat effectiveness, if they cannot severely damage the bandit army as soon as possible, once they flee, there is no guarantee that they will not become a serious threat like Li Zicheng, so everything must be focused on annihilating the effective strength of the bandit army!"
"Thank you, Marshal, for your teachings. I will definitely complete my mission!"
The Sichuan army quickly completed the construction of the position. At this time, all Li Hongbin's men were mobilized. This time, Li Hongbin sent all the people he had held hostage to the front. These people were all captured from the surroundings. They were all men, women, old and young. They were all trembling and fearful.
After a while, the backbone gangsters acted as a supervising team behind them, driving these cannon fodder troops towards the Sichuan Army's position.
The bandit army began to attack, and the Sichuan army's artillery also began to roar. In troubled times, human life is so worthless, and there is no need for mercy. Moreover, there are also many bandits among the people. As long as they are a little slack, they will easily break through.
Once they get close, hand-to-hand combat is equivalent to giving up the Sichuan army's firepower advantage.
Soon the shells fell like hail among the attacking crowd. With each shell falling, several or even a dozen lives disappeared. The driven people gradually began to panic. Some people shouted at the bandits, and some shouted
They grabbed the Sichuan troops and asked them to stop shelling. Some of them were a little smarter and simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
The entire battlefield was in chaos. As the attacking crowd got closer and closer, machine guns swept over them like a storm. These civilians didn't even have any military knowledge. They ran forward one by one, and they all became living targets, like
Like cutting wheat, corpses fell one after another on the ground, and the blood dyed the earth red...
Li Hongbin observed the situation on the battlefield with a telescope from a distance. His heart sank completely. The Sichuan army's firepower was too fierce and they couldn't bear it. Moreover, these Sichuan troops were well-trained and would not hesitate at all.
Soon those cannon fodder will be used up, and if we continue to fight, we will have to fight for our own capital.
But it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and he was really not sure whether his men and horses could hold out until dark. At this time, the Sichuan army had already shot away all the ordinary people who were an eyesore, and some of the remaining people were lying on the ground.
He fell to the ground, motionless.
At this time, the Sichuan Army's artillery became more violent, forming a barrage to suppress the bandit army. Other Sichuan Army soldiers also jumped out of the trenches, bent their bodies and rushed towards the bandit army. These Sichuan Army soldiers lined up in a row.
The skirmisher line, under the cover of artillery fire and machine guns, quickly approached the bandits, and a large number of bandits were killed.
Li Hongbin's eyes were already red, and he desperately ordered his men to block the Sichuan army's offensive. However, the bandits' greatest ability was the Dashunfeng Campaign. Once they knew that their efforts were of no avail, many bandits began to retreat, especially those who fled from Sichuan.
The bandits who had gone out now saw the Sichuan army approaching quickly, which reminded them of the painful experience last year. It was most important to escape quickly. Man Shanhong was no exception. She fled quickly with her men. She did not run towards Daning.
Instead, we went directly to Hubei. Sichuan was really not the place we should come.
There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Li Hongbin. From a distance, he could already see the advancing Sichuan army approaching them. Mortar shells exploded around him from time to time. Thousands of bandit soldiers were lying dead on the spot. Although Li Hongbin wanted to fight, he knew
The situation was over, so he had no choice but to escape quickly under the protection of his close men.
At this time, the other two groups of Sichuan troops had also come over, especially the cavalry troops, who relied on their speed to constantly penetrate the bandit troops. Apart from being shot to death, the fleeing bandit troops had no choice but to be captured. Few of them could
Those who escaped were surrounded by Sichuan troops from three sides.
The military police who were trapped in Baidi City had already received the leaflets sent by planes. They knew that the army would soon attack and these bandits would be destroyed soon. Therefore, everyone was well prepared and took a look at the city.
The bandits outside fled one after another. They also opened the city gate and attacked together. The bandits were defeated even faster.
At this time, Li Hongbin only had about a hundred men left, and more than 4,000 of his subordinates were lost at the gate of Baidi City. Although Li Hongbin had also experienced ups and downs, this was the first time he had lost so miserably. More importantly,
The Sichuan Army was still in hot pursuit, and it was still a matter of doubt whether he could escape with his life. Li Hongbin could only run away desperately. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and there was no annoying plane above his head. Li Hongbin gradually gave up.
In his heart, he fled directly to Daning. There were still more than 2,000 soldiers left behind in Daning. As long as these people could be saved, Li Hongbin would have a chance to make a comeback.
"Commander, we have killed more than 2,700 bandits in total and captured nearly 3,000 bandits. The main force of the bandits has been wiped out!" Zhang Zili reported the battle situation to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu nodded slightly.
"Well done, but I can't give them any chance to breathe. I have to chase them all night long. I can't let a thief go!"
Qiao Yu gave an order, and the Sichuan army pursued them all night regardless of the fatigue of the battle. Liu Yunhong led the cavalry team and chased them towards Daning like a whirlwind!
