Chapter 70: Capturing Qu Tongfeng Again (Supplement 4)
After hearing this, Qu Tongfeng raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily: "The Han and the thieves are not at odds with each other. I have nothing to talk about with the enemy. Kill them for me to show the determination of my first division."
The adjutant hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the enemy's artillery fire is sharp. Why don't we pretend to be snakes with the enemy first in exchange for time for the main force to break out."
Qu Tongfeng glared and scolded: "What do you know? The enemy is here to surrender. If we don't talk about it, we will lose morale. Who is still working hard to break out of the encirclement? Go and execute it."
The adjutant suddenly understood and ordered two soldiers with good marksmanship to go to the top of the hill. When he saw that the enemy who came to negotiate had already reached the valley, he walked forward waving a white towel and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the First Division, don't open fire."
Gun, I am Zhang Qijun of the Second Brigade. I have something to say to Commander-in-Chief Qu." As Zhang Qijun shouted, the soldiers at the bottom of the valley seemed to know someone who knew him, and an officer came forward to talk to him. The adjutant was afraid that Zhang Qijun would cause chaos.
He quickly pointed at him and ordered: "Shoot quickly and kill him."
The two guards raised their Type 38 rifles, aimed their sights at Zhang Qijun, who was talking to the officer, and pulled the trigger.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Two gunshots rang out suddenly, and Zhang Qijun was shot twice in the head and chest. He fell down on the grass. The officer on the side was startled. He turned back to look at the adjutant and others who fired the gun, and took off his clothes fiercely.
saliva.
"Fuck your mother's twisted pigtails!"
When Han Baihang heard that the negotiating soldier had been shot dead, he became furious and said: "Order the artillery to fire and shoot out all the shells. I want that mountain to be barren of grass."
The artillery fired rapidly, and the roaring shells covered the entire hilltop in flames. This barrage of artillery fire lasted for half an hour, cutting off the top of the hilltop before it stopped.
Han Baihang You shouted dissatisfied: "Go and ask the artillerymen why they didn't fire any more artillery!"
Ma Bian hurriedly went to ask, but ran back panting and said: "Report to the company commander, the artillery is cleaning the barrel, and the cannon can be fired soon."
Han Baihang nodded with satisfaction: "Keep firing and call Xu Pengzu over."
Ma Bian went to summon Xu Pengzu. Xu Pengzu came in a hurry. Now he was a shed chief. He had nearly 300 men and guns under his command, which was as powerful as a battalion commander. He bent down and walked into the ring fortification.
The command post took off his hat, shook the dirt off it, stood at attention and said: "Company Commander, you call me."
Han Baihang called him to the observation port, pointed at the enemy position under heavy artillery fire, and said: "Peng Zu, I have a task for you. I want you to use infantry and artillery coordination to capture the enemy's valley bottom position, drive the enemy up the hill, and further compress it.
His defense is deep and whether he can defeat Qu Tongfeng depends on the performance of Sanpeng."
Xu Pengzu looked at the enemy position where the artillery fire was roaring. He was a little scared when he saw it. He swallowed and said: "Company Commander, I already know the basics of infantry and artillery coordination, and my brothers have never practiced it, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
"
Han Baihang stared at him and said: "If you are all trained elite soldiers and generals, why should I use you? To put it bluntly, if you can do it, if you can't, I will replace you and let Zhou Baocai come in!"
How dare Xu Pengzu say no, let alone Han Baihang, who used his old enemy Zhou Baocai to provoke him. He was so busy that he said: "Company commander, Zhou Laocai's one shed is left unattended, or our three sheds are on top. We can't take the enemy's position. I will never survive."
return."
"That's pretty much it."
Han Baihang turned from anger to joy, and faced the opportunity and said: "I will ask the artillery to keep a safe distance of 300 meters for the infantry. I don't think it will be a problem to attack fiercely. I will ask Zhou Qing to be your reserve team. If you can attack in one go,
It’s better to go up the mountain.”
Xu Pengzu nodded fiercely: "I understand, I understand!"
…
At the same time, Zhou Dongliang's 11th Regiment finally broke through the Anhui Army's layers of resistance and arrived at Liulician Station. There was a big misunderstanding when they arrived at the station. Zhou Dongliang told Han Baihang about persuading the 15th Division to defect.
He didn't know anything. He only saw that the 15th Division was heavily guarded at Liuli Point Station. He hurriedly ordered the entire regiment to go on the offensive. It wasn't until he eliminated a small unit of the 15th Division that he learned about it when he interrogated the prisoners.
The division turned against the enemy and defeated the first division, and the lobbyist among them was Han Baihang, who had disappeared for a long time.
"This Han Baihang is so bold." Zhou Dongliang was both surprised and angry. With a subordinate like Han Baihang who stole the show, he was overshadowed by his superior. Fortunately, he had a pretty good temper and quickly changed his mentality. After all,
Han Baihang was promoted and hired by him, and part of his meritorious service should be attributed to him anyway.
Since the 15th Division had defected and was now considered a friendly force, he sent a message to the brigade headquarters to report the situation of the 1st Division, and at the same time sent someone to contact the 15th Division at the station to explain the misunderstanding.
Although Yue Chen'an was very angry at the attack of the 11th Regiment just now, after all, the 11th Regiment was a direct descendant of Wu Peifu, so he could only secretly tell the truth and ordered the troops to lift their alert, evacuate the station, and ask the 11th Regiment to take over the defense.
Zhou Dong arrived at Liulician Station with a clear conscience and met with Yue Chen'an inside the station. Yue Chen'an's colonel rank was higher than Zhou Dongliang's lieutenant colonel rank, and Yue Chen'an was now the highest officer of the 15th Division. He took the initiative to salute and informed his name.
Finally, he said apologetically: "Sir Yue, please don't mind the misunderstanding just now. I was careless."
Yue Chen'an said: "It's just a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart, Vice Captain Zhou."
The two laughed, and they were acquainted. They did not continue the pleasantries and went directly to the topic. Zhou Dongliang said: "Welcome brothers of the 15th Division. I have reported the situation here to the brigade headquarters. I believe Yushuai will soon
There will be a telegram coming."
Yue Chen'an said: "On behalf of all the soldiers of the 15th Division, I will resolutely obey Commander Yu's command."
Zhou Dongliang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sir Yue, may I ask where Han Baihang went?"
Yue Chen'an said: "After the Liulician Station was captured, Company Commander Han led his troops to continue to pursue the enemy. I originally wanted to go with him to pursue the enemy, but the troops suffered heavy losses and needed to rest, and without orders from Commander Yu and other officers, I did not dare
act rashly."
Zhou Dongliang said: "Commander Yue is mature and prudent, and he did the right thing. I have received the real news. Now Xu Shuzheng has arrived in Liangxiang and gathered the defeated Anhui army in an attempt to fight me to the death. The order from the top is that the army must gather at the Liulician front line.
Advance the army in a unified manner and accomplish all the results in one battle."
"I can rest assured that!"
Yue Chen'an suddenly said with emotion: "Vice Commander Zhou, this defection is all thanks to your commander Han Baihang. Our brigade Zhang Gongchen was stubborn when he defected. It was he who killed Zhang Gongchen immediately and decisively. Only then could the defection be carried out.
I heard that he captured Duan Zhigui, he is really powerful."
Zhou Dongliang gave Han Baihang another point in his heart, secretly thinking that this kid is really not good. If catching Duan Zhigui can be said to be luck, then this time he helped the 15th Division to switch sides. It can be said that he went deep into the tiger's den to catch the tiger's cub.
His face was brightened by Yue Chen'an's praise, and he smiled and said: "Sir Yue, you are ridiculous. This Han Baihang is capable, but he is too courageous. I can't guarantee whether he will make meritorious deeds or cause trouble for you."
Yue Chenan smiled and said: "Now it seems that he has done a lot of meritorious service."
"Ha ha!"
Zhou Dongliang raised his head and smiled and said: "In this case, please ask Commander Yue to take me to Liulician Station. I will send a team to contact Han Baihang. The opposite person is Xu Shuzheng, a little Zhuge, not Duan Zhigui or Qu Tongfeng."
Yue Chen'an was convinced. Xu Shuzheng was so well-known that no one dared to underestimate him. He was so busy that he said, "I also sent people to look for him. When we attacked the first division, I sent a battalion to intercept him, but there has been no news back."
