Chapter 193 Star River Shadow Shake the Three Forces 21

[193] Xingheying shakes the three armies (21)

Hu Guangting picked up the book and said in a serious voice, "The highest instruction!"

Yang Weiyi and Zhang Erpao stood solemnly and listened to Hu Guangting's reading.

"Melee and night warfare must become a fine tradition of our army, which is convenient to achieve the suddenness of the battle at night and reduce the damage to us by enemy firepower."

After listening to Hu Guangting's reading, Yang Weiyi bowed his head and frowned, "But now our firepower is dominant, and fighting during the day is beneficial to us."

Zhang Erpao said urgently, "For benefit, it's not that we want to fight at night, but the Qing army that wants to fight at night. If we hide in the trench fortifications, we will be passive! What's more, there is no high ground on our side.

Yang Weiwei said, "It is inconvenient to observe, shoot, command, cooperate and communicate at night, and it is easy to get lost. I don't think the headquarters will agree."

Hu Guangting pointed to the defense map of the Qing army camp just drawn according to the situation reported by various reconnaissance companies and roared, "The Qing army's camp is connected from west to east. What can you get lost!" Their centralized deployment, in the words of the chairman, is a group of primitive people! Look! They don't even have trenches!"

Zhang Erpao added with approval: "Guangting is right! Even if we build a trench tonight, there is not even a highland to rely on in this dry field. It is impossible not to be rushed in by the cavalry to resist the attack of cavalry in the dark night. Once casualties are caused, it must be very serious.

Previously, when the reconnaissance company knocked on the Qing army cavalry camp, it was found that there were at least 3,000 to 4,000 Qing cavalry. Our whole division, together with cooking class, health company, communication company and transportation team, was only 4,000. If there were no favorable terrain as a support, they would be rushed in by the Qing cavalry, and the death and injury would be unimaginable! The cavalry in the field hit, one or two minutes per kilometer, and it takes less than ten seconds to 100 meters!"

Hu Guangting nodded repeatedly: "Second gun, just like what I think. At present, we will either immediately withdraw to Dongguang County and rely on the wall to strengthen the defense, or take advantage of the night to attack. We must not stay in place and wait for the Qing cavalry to attack!"

Yang Weiyi advised worriedly: "We can set up more lighting piles in front of the position and block them with machine guns."

Hu Guangting said, "We did this every night before. I have seen such a deployment many times on the spot and repeatedly tried to aim with machine guns, but the effect is limited. Once you meet the cavalry, I'm afraid it's inevitable to fight with bayonet.

............

At this moment, Yao Fan is also anxious about the same thing in Dongguang's headquarters.

"Hainiu, you are a cavalry general. If the Qing cavalry robs the camp at night, can you rely on the trenches to defend it? Hu Guangting said that there is no decent highland near their position!"

Li Hainiu was also thinking about this problem again and immediately said, "Chairman, I think it's better to ask Hu Guangting and others to withdraw to Dongguan County immediately!" Go out and fight at dawn!"

When Yao Fan heard this, he stamped his foot and exclaimed, "It's not good! You are not confident! Hu Guangting can't continue to confront each other in front!"

Yao Fan was about to send a message, but Cui Guangwen rushed in and said, "Chairman, the third division called."

"Read!"

"command

Our division judged that the number of Qing army is huge and the terrain of our army is unfavorable. Once there is a night battle, the consequences are unpredictable. I hope that the headquarters will take the initiative to launch a night battle attack. The whole division takes squads as a unit and platoons, takes * as the main attack weapon, implements a comprehensive attack on the Qing military camp, and implements a wide range of loose soldiers to cut and interspersing the enemy' positions, and defeat the enemy. People are completely scattered and disordered.

Hu, Zhang, Yang.

Yao Fan waved his hand heavily and said to the telegraphist Cui Guangwen, "Approve! Tell Hu Guangting! Launch an attack immediately! The sooner the better! The Qing army wants to fight! Let's do it first! Let's see who messed up first!"

Li Jun said loudly, "Yes! Instead of messing up in our military positions, we'd better rush over and go to their camp!"

Li Hainiu clenched his fist and said, "I agree!"

Yao Fan ordered: "Tell Liu Jinbao of the second division! Change the route to meet with the third division, and the second division will immediately intersperse to the northeast! Directly launch a night attack on the Qing military camp! Don't stop! Be brave and penetrate to the end!"

Li Hainiu said, "We also need to inform the first division Xiao Chu to open them and accelerate the march." Li Hainiu looked at his watch and said, "It's just past seven o'clock, and the straight line is less than 30 kilometers. It's better for the first division to arrive before 11 o'clock!"

Yao Fan nodded: "Tell Xiao Chukai that you must arrive at Botou Town before 11 o'clock! Hit it when you arrive!"

............

Hu Guangting patted his thigh after receiving the telegram: "The headquarters is the same as we think! For the benefit! Second shot! Notify the whole teacher! Get ready for battle now! All the commanders listened to the instructions of the division and immediately dispersed horizontally against the Qing military camp, and all of them must be in place in an hour! Wait for the general attack order! The division's mortar battalion was immediately in place and carried out a single-shot attack on the two cavalry battalions from the right wing of the Qing army! One every minute! Don't stop without my order! Tell them not to live in peace! ......”

With the issuance of the orders of the headquarters of the Third Division, 4,000 people of the division were mobilized in an instant, and the torches all over the field were as brilliant as a spark. After dinner, all the soldiers who were digging the trenches found their helmets one by one from the centralized places on the ground, rushed into the rows of tents beside the trenches to take out bullets* carry them, tied them together with each other, and began to make emergency movements according to the deployment.

Li Lu soon became a platoon leader because of her literacy. She had a strong personality, which made him quickly stand out in training. When the emergency assembly order was issued, he was talking to a doll named Hairy Head by the trench.

"You, the revolutionary army really can't accept people at will. You'd better go back. We can't take this dog and dog skin. The army has a rule that we will eat and punish people's things in private.

"Hang, I don't want to be a man, really not! I also eat less! As long as there is a nest in one day, I will go with you. Mao's tearful pleading.

"Maotou, the army doesn't have a nest for you. It's all steamed buns."

"Sep, I brought my own food. I don't want the army."

Li Lu sighed and couldn't go on.

He is a soft-hearted man. After the troops crossed the river, he followed the army after the land reform in Qinghe County. His family was a land-lost farmer who wandered along the Yellow River from Henan. He was no different from beggars. He was poor and jingled. His family only had three broken bowls and lived in a tall grass hut on the ground for Qinghe County. Landowners carry their lives. If there is no land reform, maybe the whole family will freeze to death on the ground this winter. Maotou's surname was Wang. His father was illiterate and could only do farm work. His mother died early, and there was a younger sister and a younger brother. When the army arrived at his house, only his father was wearing a coat and trousers. The three children were all **, all bare. The whole family had no shoes to wear, and it seemed to be drilled out of the mud.

After the land reform in Qinghe, the troops killed almost all the families of several large landlords in Qinghe County after public trial. There were 72 rooms in the landlord's enclosure, which were divided into one for his family, and also divided into clothes, shoes, quilts, pots and bowls, and cages.

Li Lu took advantage of the moonlight and looked up at the hair. She saw that he was wearing a dirty women's coat. The trousers were the one his father wore before the local reform. The degree of dirt was simply unbearable, and it seemed that it would disintegrate in the wind at any time. He tied a straw rope around his waist, on which he tied a long string of cabbage gangs with a black string, hanging around his legs, a pair of cloth shoes given to him when he was a local tycoon, tightly inserted on the grass rope under his chest, and he was reluctant to wear them. Maotou held a skinned dead dog in his left hand, carried dog skin in his right hand, picked the mud on his toes, and looked at Li Lu with tears.

Li Lu was so sad that she didn't know why she wanted to join the army.

"Sep, I can dig a hole. Let me dig a hole for you." The hairy head carried the dead dog and continued to plead.

"Forget it, I'll give him a bite at worst." Li Lu sighed in her heart.

"Put down the dog and I'll ask Lianli later if I can let you go to the cooking class."

The hair grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth. He threw the dog and knelt down to kowtow to Li Lu.

Li Lu quickly picked him up: "Our revolutionary army is not happy with this. This is Chairman Yao's army. If you want to fight the world for the poor, you are not allowed to kneel in the future, do you hear?"

"Well, chief, shall I bake a dog leg for you?"

"Nonsense! Tell me now, where did this dog come from?

Li Lu was talking when the military trumpet of the emergency gathering sounded. Li Lu quickly rushed to one side, picked up the steel helmet and put it on her head, blew a whistle to greet the soldiers in the platoon to gather.

The order of the company was quickly issued. Li Lu's platoon immediately headed northeast and waited on the ground one kilometer away from the Qing military camp. As soon as the charge horn sounded, it was the first assault group to attack the Qing army village.

According to the arrangement of the company, Li Lu ordered all three shifts to bring enough*. As a blasting group, the second class carried four bundles of five kilograms of * explosive bags to carry out blasting operations on the wooden fence erected by the Qing army on the edge of the small river ditch.

............

In the headquarters of Dongguang County, the rooms with eight collected longevity candles are bright.

"Ask Xiao Chukai again! Where have they been? Do they still want to fight? Is there any soldier's consciousness!" Yao Fan scolded Cui Guangwen anxiously.

Li Hainiu said with a calm face and said, "Chairman, let's not wait. It's almost ten o'clock. The moonlight is very bright, and the Qing army and horse team may attack at night at any time. The third division has been in the battle position for an hour, and all of them are in place.

Yao Fan decisively ordered: "Tell Hu Guangting to launch a general attack in three minutes! In addition, continue to send me a report to urge Xiao Chukai!"

"Yes!"

"Notify Liu Jinbao's Second Division Division to immediately implement the combat plan, and the first regiment will attack the right-wing Qing army cavalry camp, and the second regiment will envelop the rear of the Qing army!"

"Yes!"

............

Under the order of the headquarters, Hu Guangting immediately ordered the whole division to start the night attack.

"Drip ~ Drip ~ Diff ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~" The sharp charge broke through the silence of the night and echoed on the earth murderously.

For a moment, there were shouts all over the field, and it sounded as if thousands of troops were attacking.

Liu Mingchuan heard the charge of the revolutionary army in the camp and was shocked: "The glue thief wants to attack at night?! Damn it! I haven't attacked at night yet! Instead, they want to attack at night?"

"Your excellency! What should I do? Is it necessary to immediately move the horse team to attack the back of the glue thief at night?

Liu Mingchuan waved his hand heavily and said, "Don't panic! Let's see the situation first!

Go on! All ministries strictly guard the camp! Rely on the wooden village and shoot the glue thief!

General Kalu, all the Mongolian cavalry are on standby! Follow my orders at any time, prepare to open the door of the fortress and go out to kill the thief!"

At this time, Gulu sent a fast horse to report to Liu Mingchuan: "The rubber thief artillery has continuously bombarded the cavalry camp in the east. Now the cavalry camp in the east is dead and injured, and General Kalu asked to go to war now."

"Fad! Tell him to continue to wait! No one is allowed to leave the village without my order!" Liu Ming shouted angrily.

............

Li Lu finally heard the charge. He blew a long whistle and roared, "Full platoon assault! Disperse! Disperse! The blasting group keeps up! Kill it~~~~~!!!"

The full platoon of soldiers immediately jumped out from behind their hidden grass and dirt and rushed forward bravely in the bright moonlight. With the shocking shouts of killing, the 27 mortars of the 3rd Division began to fire crazily, bombard all the camps of the Qing army.

In the roar of gunfire, Li Lu picked up a Bayi light machine gun assigned to each platoon and aimed at the shooting soldiers behind the wooden fence of the Qing military camp by the river.

"Blast the blasting group! Blow up the wooden wall! Scatter the whole row and blow it hard with *!"

So the soldiers of the three classes quickly rushed forward with their waists and began to throw * 50 meters away. There was a shower of * in the Qing military camp. In the howling screams, the sound of the Qing army shooting randomly across the camp was greatly reduced.

"Full row! Occupy the wooden fence and shoot secretly from the wood cracks! The blasting group followed and blasted the wooden village!"

As the blasting group crossed the river and placed the explosive bag, the whole platoon soldiers threw a wave* into the camp from the thick log gate more than two meters high. Then, the blasting group ignited *, and after the deafening explosion, the Qing military camp in front of Li Lu was completely blown up and collapsed, and the broken wood chips splashed one after another. The wooden columns were crooked. The Qing army inside saw the wooden fence collapse, and immediately blew up the camp and opened the north gate to escape.

"Kill!" Li Lu shouted wildly and rushed up with a light machine gun in her arms. A thin shadow followed his buttocks closely, with a bunch of cabbage hanging around his waist.

In the moonlight, the ten-mile-wide battlefield was full of explosions and charges. 56 semi-automatic and 81 light machine guns attacked the Qing army at close range, spewing fire and harvesting life.

............

"Your excellency! Zhong Bangwu Camp was blown up by rubber thieves!"

"Your excellency! Li Kuilu's camp was taken down by the rubber thief!"

"Your excellency! Zheng Jixiu's camp was blown up!"

"Your excellency! Wei Lianxia's camp was attacked by rubber thieves!"

............

Liu Mingchuan's face was distorted by the torch, and finally ordered: "Order all the cavalry battalions to attack!" Kill all the glue thieves who rushed into the company camp! Order Shengjun's two cavalry battalions to attack! Give me the back of the glue thief!"
