C17 Freshwater wars(3)
Seeing that the Whampoa Academy Army was too sharp for them, the enemy troops under the city became more and more ferocious, and were forced to retreat to the streets of the city to fight in the streets.
When he heard that the Revolutionary Army had entered into the fresh water, Xiong Feng, who was in the headquarters, sat down on a chair. He looked at the group leader who had returned to report with a face of disbelief, and muttered: "It was broken in half an hour?"
The leader's arm was wrapped in bandages, and his pale face was filled with fear and uncertainty: "Commander, the Revolutionary Army has arrived in the city. Hurry and retreat, it will be too late if you are late."
Meng Duxiang's arms were trembling beyond recognition. He had already heard the shouts of the entire city's Revolutionary Army, and the sounds of gunfire were gradually approaching the command post. His pale face squeezed out a bitter smile, "Where are you running to? Fresh water was the door to Huizhou. Without fresh water, Huizhou would be finished. Do you think the competition will spare us? "
Weng Tenghui, who was at the side, was no longer in a daze and did not dare to taunt and attack. He looked at the crowd and said with some hesitation, "My lords, if we do not make a decision now, you and I are going to be the captives of Student Army. Whether you retreat or stay, Bear commands you to give the order. "
Lin Lie took a telegram and walked into the headquarters. He said anxiously: "The Hong Zhao-Lin's reinforcements are here, let's quickly gather our soldiers and defend the city in the street fighting. We still have the strength to fight."
Xiong Xiuzhu came back to his senses, looking like a teenager. He walked beside the map for a while, then raised his head and listened to the movements in the city. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's leave."
Hearing his words, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Xiong Shu would fight to the death with the Revolutionary Army in the city, and only have one life.
Lin Lie slapped the table heavily with an ashen face. He pointed at Xiong Bu and the rest and shouted in anger: If you want to retreat, all of you retreat.
Xiong You looked ashamed, but he had lost his fighting spirit long ago, but Lin Lie was willing to hold on to his water, and was happy to have someone to block the Revolutionary Army, so he said: "Since Brother Lin has such determination, I will not force you, I will just give you a regiment of troops."
Lin Lie snorted from his nose, he looked down upon the cowardly Xiong Ji and coldly said: "There's no need, I will bring my headquarters to guard, all of you quickly escape."
Xiong Shi, Meng Duxiang and the rest looked to be in an awkward situation, but when Lin Lie said that, they sighed, cupped their hands and bowed, then called for the division to retreat.
Lin Lie who was left behind in the HQ called out to the messenger. He revealed a resolute look on his face: "Send the order to the 1st Battalion and Second Battalion, get them to reunite with me quickly."
Just when they were unable to make a decision after a long time, the soldiers of the first group had already broken through the city gate, and a large number of soldiers rushed in, under Lan Yundong's lead, the special forces found Li Boyang who had been shot twice, and had several cuts on his stomach and arms.
With a pale face, Li Boyang leaned against the city wall with the support of Du Yuming. The two shots that hit his body were not serious, but the knife that stabbed into his abdomen was not light.
Li Boyang waved his hand to Lan Yundong, pointed to the enemy headquarters and said, "Catch some big fish!"
A bullet also landed on Du Guoming's arm. He stretched out his hand to cut off Li Boyang's words, "Since you've already been wounded and left the battle line, you shouldn't care about how Yundong fights."
Li Boyang laughed with a pale face, that was true, who would grow up fighting, and what was there to point at? He just let go and let go, he waved his hand, signalling Lan Yundong to lead the team and make the decision.
Lan Yundong smiled, he saluted and waved his hand to bring the soldiers to the center of the city.
On the way to Freshwater City, he happily said to Jiang Zhongzheng, "This is the first time I've seen the Revolutionary Army in China being so amazing. The Soviet Red Army that fought against the White Bandit Army all those years ago is only so-so."
Hearing Galloping's high praise, Jiang Zhongzheng and Director Zhou smiled at each other, feeling extremely pleased.
After the city gate was opened, one group of two groups s and another group of two groups s met in the city and attacked the enemy. Noon, the sounds of gunfire in the city ended. The Freshwater City was completely occupied by the Revolutionary Army.
In this battle, more than 1000 enemy troops were captured, over 2,000 rifles and more than 10 machine guns were captured. Meanwhile, the Freshwater Guardian General carried over a thousand wounded troops and fled.
Not long after they had captured the fresh water, the main body of the school ordered a group of 3rd Battalion s to set up a position on a high ground three miles to the northwest of the Freshwater City, in preparation for any enemy forces that might come from the Huizhou.
Inside the main body of the school, Jiang Zhongzheng summoned Li Boyang, Jiang Xianyun, Zuo Quan and Hu Zongnan, who were the first to board the gate.
Freshwater had won the battle, so Jiang Zhongzheng was extremely happy. He kindly looked at the heroic students in front of him, and when he saw Li Boyang and the other students, whose young and tender faces had not yet been cleared and whose wounds were still standing upright, he stepped forward to inspect them one by one with concern. With red eyes, he excitedly said to them: "I am relieved to see that all of you are standing in front of me. When you guys climbed up the city gate tower, your Director Zhou and I were on tenterhooks, afraid that you guys would die. Heaven bless you all. Although you were injured, your lives were not in danger. "
Li Boyang, Jiang Xianyun and the rest were moved by the Principal's considerate words, and they all said: "The student is fortunate that the Principal is concerned about him, he is fine."
Jiang Zhongzheng took out a packet of biscuits, beef, and chocolate from the table beside him and distributed them to the few of them. When I left Guangzhou, I brought these foods that you like, and you guys should eat something to fill your stomachs. "
Everyone was happily eating while holding onto their food that was not much. On the other hand, when Jiang Zhongzheng saw the students wolfing down their food, his eyes curved from laughing.
Just then, a guard ran in from outside. He saluted to Jiang Zhongzheng and reported, "Reporting, Principal. A group of 3rd Battalion s have reported that an enemy army has appeared in the direction of the sandpit.
After Jiang Zhongzheng heard this, he quickly went to the map to discuss battle and deployment with the Russian advisors. Not long later, Jiang Zhongzheng said to the guards: "Command the troops to stay in one camp to guard the city.
Finishing, he said to Li Boyang and the others in a low voice, "Since you are injured, rest in the headquarters and don't go anywhere"
When the Hong Zhao-Lin s of the Huizhou heard that the fresh water was in danger, they hurriedly ordered the troops of the Huizhou s and Bo Luo's side to reinforce the s day and night. After half an hour, they finally formed a battle camp outside the city.
After two consecutive days of siege, the 3rd Battalion had suffered quite a few casualties, and the soldiers were exhausted. Not long after they entered the battlefield, they saw the enemy army rushing towards them. After the 3rd Battalion Battalion Commander Wang Jun saw the enemy troops, taking into account his experience against the enemy a few days ago, he placed two Machin machine guns and a lot of light machine guns on both sides of the position, in case the enemy flanked them from the side.
However, he did not expect that the enemy's method of combat would be different from the enemy's that he had encountered before. This type of firepower was a huge mistake.
Those who had fought with the Hong Zhao-Lin before knew that the Hong Zhao-Lin was famous for its Three Axes. He had always gathered her elite forces and used three consecutive attacks to defeat the enemy, producing many miraculous effects.
The enemy commander was a hero under the Hong Zhao-Lin, Ma Zuoyi. He rode on his big horse and held his binoculars to observe the position of the 3rd Battalion's mountain. The mountain peak was not high and the slope was not steep.
Ma Zuoyi put down the telescope, he pointed at the artillery Company Commander and ordered: "Do you see that hill? "Damn it."
At this time, most of the soldiers did not know how to use the cannons properly. To them, the cannons were nothing more than a brainless shot that would be followed by a charge from the army.
This time, in order to save fresh water, the Hong Zhao-Lin had specially allocated two sets of cannons. After receiving the orders, the artillery soldiers aimed their cannons at the position on the mountain where the 3rd Battalion was at and ordered their cannons to shoot quickly.
The two Mountain Cannons fired off a ball of orange flames from their muzzles, emitting a whooshing sound as they landed on the ground.
The intense gunfire caused huge sparks to explode on the ground, and the mountaintop, which was not a strong one, was immediately plowed down. The 3rd Battalion's soldiers, under the orders of the military officers, hid inside the trench.
Seeing that the enemy's position was turned upside down, Ma Zuoyi bit his lips, wishing for more. If it wasn't for the ammunition being too few, I would like to bomb a little more.
He urged his warhorse to move forward and ordered his men to attack: "Get on, whoever will be the first to rush to the position will be rewarded with 500 yuan, the reward will be 50 yuan for killing a Student Army official."
Hearing about such a generous reward, the troops below immediately turned into a howling army of wolves and tigers. Under the cover of the cannons, they quickly pounced on them like the armies of the 3rd Battalion.
The enemy troops were experienced enough to split into more than thirty commandos with light machine guns charging in front, and behind the enemy commandos were a black mass of enemies carrying bayonets.
The enemies roared like tides as they charged straight towards the center of the formation. For a moment, these over thirty light machine guns exploded like beans, and bullets rained down on the sandbags in front of the formation. The firepower was more than ten times stronger than the firepower of the frontlines of the 3rd Battalion, and the soldiers could not even lift their heads when they were pressured.
"Da Da Da Da Da Da!"
After the shelling, the two flanks of the Mackenzie machine gun also shouted, and the rain of bullets swept towards the charging enemy. After all, he was unable to form a complete fire net with his attacks from the two wings. Although the enemies were falling down one by one, it was still hard to stop their attacks.
In a 300 metre hill area, the enemy troops were attacking from the back and they were exhausted from the long journey. If 3rd Battalion Battalion Commander Wang Jun could accurately judge the enemy's attack, it would not be a problem to defend against them. Furthermore, there were reinforcements coming from the Freshwater City. As long as they could withstand the enemy's attack, when the reinforcements arrived, they could eat the enemy in one go.
Wang Jun crawled his way out of the trench with his grey head, and before the smoke from the cannon fire had dispersed, his heart dropped when he saw that the enemy's main force was attacking in the middle of the trench, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Crap."
The moment he saw the enemy's attack, he knew that he would not be able to hold on to his position. He could only hope that the soldiers would put their lives on the line and attack the enemy troops. However, when he saw the enemy completely suppressing his own forces, his heart went completely cold.
The enemy only used a round of Charge, and only used a axe to stun the 3rd Battalion, the enemy quickly rushed into the position and tore a hole in the middle, the gap in the middle could not be blocked, no matter how the brave soldiers fought to the death, they were still beaten down by the enemy, and in ten minutes, the 3rd Battalion was completely forced back, the soldiers led the officers to slowly resist, retreating towards the Freshwater City.
After the enemy forces destroyed the 3rd Battalion's position, the morale was even higher, the enemy leader had personally led a team to chase after the 3rd Battalion.
Wang Jun removed his previous misdeployment of position and immediately gathered all of the defeated soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to step onto the enemy lines to block them. Although the 3rd Battalion was pale and weak in the face of the enemy's tide of attacks, it still gave the teaching second group some time to recover.
When they received the order to leave the city, they first encountered the retreating 3rd Battalion. Since they did not have a commander to command them, the various battalions had no choice but to rush forward to fight the enemy.
On one side was the small victory, and on the other side was the Army with high morale. On the other side was the teaching second group who had no Guild Leader to command, so the outcome of the battle was obvious.
The sand like two groups was defeated by the fierce attack of Ma Zuoyi's troops and had no choice but to retreat back into the city.
Just then, the leader of the two groups, Wang Boling, had just come out of the city to find his own troops. The 3rd Battalion had lost way too quickly, and under such a situation, the panicking Wang Boling had brought his guards to counterattack, but under such circumstances, how could he save the situation?
"Ai!" Wang Boling's face was ashen as he looked at the rotten battle in front of him. He was so anxious that he was on the verge of jumping, because if he allowed this battle to progress, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Hold it for me!"
Fortunately, Huang Po's students led the group in a desperate battle with the enemy, only then was they able to stabilize their position, barely managing to block the enemy's attack at the city gate.
He saluted with his crooked military salute and shouted anxiously: "Reporting to Principal, the 3rd Battalion's position has been lost. As soon as two groups left the city, he was pushed back. Right now the enemy is about to break through the city gates."
Jiang Zhongzheng, who was sitting on the chair and conversing with Li Boyang and the others, was suddenly stunned. Only after a long while did he finally react, he immediately stood up and impatiently scolded: "Little Xi Pi, Wang Boling is incompetent, Wang Jun is a useless person, he is useless."
At this time, the gunshots coming from the northwest city was getting louder and louder, the enemy troops' shouts could be heard clearly. Jiang Zhongzheng panicked, Zhang Mingda's two divisions had already started chasing after Xiong Di who had abandoned the city, there were very few people in the city, if the Whampoa Academy Army could not take it, then the Freshwater City would fall.
Jiang Zhongzheng was so angry that he threw the army hat on top of his head onto the table. He frowned and paced back and forth in the headquarters.
The Director Zhou anxiously strode into the headquarters and said: "The enemies are surrounded on three sides. Zhang Mingda and Jian Ying led the guard company and went up. I suggest that we send a reserve team of students to reinforce them."
When Jiang Zhongzheng heard that he had to send a reserve team to support Zhang Mingda, he shook his head like a rattle drum, and flatly refused: "Of course, most of the students are in the second stage, their studies are not complete, and they have not experienced the baptism of war. I would rather withdraw from fresh water than send my students to their deaths."
