As soon as Han Baihang arrived at Shanhaiguan, the battle entered a fierce stage.
The vanguard group he sent out had just entered the battle and started a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.
Han Baihang once again felt that the strength of the Feng army on the opposite side should not be underestimated. The vanguard group he sent up were all his old troops. Under his own teaching, each of them knew the sword skills to kill the enemy with one or two hands, and they rushed forward.
Feng Jun was actually able to fight back and forth with his own team.
At this time, it was too late for the other teams behind to help. The teams on both sides were already fighting together. It was impossible for the following teams to shoot again. However, Feng Jun on the opposite side was still advancing one after another to attack. Han Baihang knew the situation.
Seeing a critical situation, he quickly ordered Gao Hongyi and others to lead all the troops to mount bayonets and rush forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Feng Jun on the opposite side obviously did not expect that such a large enemy force would jump out when he was sure of victory. The team in front was already fighting with the enemy, and the team behind was not sprinting as fast as Han Baihang's team, so
Caught in a dilemma.
If you rush up, the previous team may have been eliminated long ago. After you go up, you will also face the enemy's fire. If you don't go up, then the brothers in front will die alive, without any hope of survival.
When Jiang Dengxuan, the commander of the Fengjun army, saw this situation, he knew that the casualties caused by rushing forward would be too great, so he decisively ordered the following troops to retreat immediately.
In the smoke of burning artillery shells, in the ruins of the ancient Great Wall of China, and in the vicious and hostile eyes of the enemy, Jiang Dengxuan saw his brother being stabbed deeply into the body by the straight army's bayonet, with blood pouring out, and the soldier's eyes filled with
Puzzled, chilled and angry, he slowly turned back to look at him. He had always been known for being brave and desperate in battles. At this time, he felt that he was not worthy of being a commander.
He personally ordered his soldiers to charge forward, and personally watched them being helpless under the enemy's bayonets until they died in battle. This was a general's mistake, and it was a general's shame, but he had no choice.
If we don't do this, there will be greater casualties, and more people will die in vain without any results. All of this is due to the sudden appearance of the third division, who poured out all his anger.
It was vented on the third division.
Zhang Xueliang, who was conducting the command on the other side, saw this scene, his eyes shrank, and he said to Guo Songling: "Maochen, they say that Jiang Dengxuan is a lunatic when it comes to fighting. I finally saw it."
Guo Songling also saw this scene and sighed: "It's a pity. Jiang Deng chose this person to fight. It's a good material. It's a pity that he really can't compliment him in running the army. In this way, his team
, I’m afraid it’s already chilling my heart.”
Jiang Dengxuan knew that his soldiers were looking at him. Their eyes not only showed sadness, but also disappointment and anger.
They didn't know when they would be sent to the battlefield by the generals and then abandoned. Now, Jiang Dengxuan had to make a decision to eliminate the negative impact of the soldiers on his decision. He ordered the artillery to direct all artillery fire at the third party
He opened the gap in Shanhaiguan where the division was located and fired all the artillery shells out, allowing the Zhizhi Army on the opposite side to taste the price of his anger.
Han Baihang's troops easily dealt with these isolated Feng troops, but what he didn't expect was that the general on the opposite side actually chose to retreat. His rationality told him that this was a very wise choice, but his emotions told him
He, if he encountered such a situation, would never issue such an order.
It is extremely simple to order an army, but it is extremely difficult to gain their respect. Such an approach will throw away all the prestige that the general has accumulated over a long period of time. I am afraid that this army will never be with you again in the future.
The generals are of one mind.
Before Han Baihang could make effective military arrangements for the gap created in Shanhaiguan, the enemy's artillery fire was already overwhelming.
Han Baihang did not expect that the general on the opposite side would be so decisive. The artillery bombardment lasted for six or seven minutes. Thanks to the relatively strong construction of the ancient Great Wall, Han Baihang's third division was not destroyed by the artillery fire, but there were still many soldiers.
Lives were lost in this unexpected war.
After the baptism of artillery fire, there was a charge all over the mountains and plains. Fengjun seemed to be desperate to seize this gap no matter what.
Han Baihang knew that it was impossible to defend here. If he defended here, the enemy's artillery shells would sooner or later regard him as a target. So he called Gao Hongyi and said: "Have you seen it? The enemy is rushing up again. If you want to take the position, just
You can’t just stay here, I order you to lead a regiment of brothers to carry out a countercharge to fight back the enemies who are coming up!"
Gao Hongyi was a little surprised when he heard this. He had never seen such a battle before. The enemy was charging now. He confirmed to the division commander again: "Commander, do you mean we are countercharging? The enemy is gaining momentum now."
Han Baihang killed an enemy with one shot and turned around and said: "I know that the enemy is charging and they are strong. I want you to be stronger. Only by charging with the enemy can the opponent's artillery and heavy machine guns be stopped. Otherwise, we
Sooner or later, you will be blown up alive, just carry out the order!"
Han Baihang lay down behind the bunker and saluted: "Yes!" and took the order.
One by one, Gao Hongyi selected all the old members of the original team. This counterattack was a tough battle. He was afraid that the new soldiers would be unreliable, so he didn't know how many soldiers he had selected. When those new soldiers saw that they were not themselves, they hurriedly
Request to actively join.
In these two days of fighting, these new soldiers have completely felt the difference in this team: comrades will risk their lives to protect each other, and the old team members will protect and know the new team members all the time. This
These are things that the previous team did not have. Although it has only been a few days, they have begun to miss this team.
Gao Hongyi was very happy when he saw this. The more united the team is, the stronger the combat effectiveness will be. He also selected a small number of recruits. He knew that although these recruits were in good spirits, their military quality still needed to be improved, and this counterattack required
Only experienced soldiers can successfully complete the mission.
Although there were still new recruits who wanted to join, Gao Hongyi still rejected them righteously.
Amid the enemy's artillery fire and machine guns, he will lead these young lives in a tenacious counterattack.
