Chapter 220 The Lost Capture
Chapter 220 The Lost Capture
All artillery has already adjusted the firing parameters
When I saw a red flare flying over Xibei
36 Han-made 75MM artillery guns
Fire first
I saw mortar shells dragging long rays of light
Whistling past the hills behind the stream
Landed in the densely populated area of the 18th Army
Wherever the indestructible shells go
Instantly becomes a vacuum zone
Some national army soldiers were directly lifted into the air
Before landing
It was torn to pieces by shrapnel.
Blood rain fell from the sky
At the same time, there were shrill screams and the neighing of war horses.
Explode directly inside Xibei
This caused a violent disturbance in the attacking Nationalist army.
Then dense shells appeared in the sky above Xibei
Covering the sky and the sun
This made the national army soldiers who were hiding everywhere despair.
Standing there motionless
As if undergoing the final judgment
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
A deafening roar
Make the whole earth tremble
Thick smoke billows into the sky
Looking at such a spectacular scene
Li Yan couldn't help but sigh
Artillery is indeed the "God of War"
ten minutes later
The shells of various artillery pieces began to become sparse.
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Bugler!"
"Blow the Charge"
A ticking sound was heard
Like the horn of death
Before the 18th Army could react
The special forces battalion that had been ambushed inside Xibei
First to hold a light machine gun and submachine gun
Braving the scorching flames inside the stream
Like a first-line assassin
They began to charge madly towards the remaining soldiers of the 18th Army
Then the Southwestern Fujian Red Army on the east and west sides
Rushing into the battlefield like a tide
In an instant, the two armies engaged in battle
The knife flashed and blood splattered
The battle immediately entered a fierce
The battle lasted from morning till sunset
Then it slowly calmed down
Wide Creek Back
At this time, the whole place is full of corpses and blood
In the light of the blazing fire and the setting sun
Scarlet Creepy
The air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood and thick smoke.
Like hell on earth
......
After cleaning the battlefield
It's already after nine o'clock in the evening
The Red Army soldiers had a hasty dinner
Just lying on the ground and falling asleep
Too tired
However, all the division-level cadres in southwestern Fujian gathered
Inside the headquarters of the Southwestern Fujian Red Army in Xibei
At this time, everyone's face
Are filled with happy smiles
Chairman Zhang stood up excitedly
Said: "Comrades"
“It only took us one day.”
"It severely damaged three divisions of the National Army."
"This is rare in the history of the Red Army."
“This is a big win.”
As Chairman Zhang finished saying the word "great victory"
Warm applause broke out in the command room
Lasting
Chairman Zhang had to wave his hand
Interrupting the applause
He smiled and said, "Keep on beating the drum."
"It's dawn."
Everyone laughed again
Chairman Zhang then said: "Okay."
"Although we dealt a heavy blow to the 18th Army of the National Army"
“But our plan this time has just begun.”
"Minister Tan will now talk about the situation of this battle."
Minister Tan said: "This time the battle of Xibei"
"We killed more than 9300 enemies and captured more than 4600."
“But unfortunately”
"In our final charge"
"Senior Commanders of the 18th Army"
"In the desperate fighting of the national army soldiers"
"Escaped from Xibei"
Li Yan smiled and said, "Our Minister Tan is not satisfied."
Li Yan's words made the command room
A loud laugh
Minister Tan laughed and scolded: "Haha"
“I’m just not satisfied”
"It's been a while since we had a big battle."
“I want the ending to be perfect”
Li Yan smiled and said again: "It's not bad."
"After all, the national army has the strength of three divisions."
"They insisted on escaping, and there was nothing we could do."
"If we stop them forcefully"
"The national army is doomed to be destroyed"
"Plus, we don't have many shells."
"In order to shorten the combat process, reduce consumption and casualties"
"Before the Battle of Xibei"
"I have explained this to Commander Qiu, Zhao Wu, Su Shan and others."
“You can deliberately create a gap.”
Speaking of this
Li Yan smiled mysteriously
He continued, "But I have already asked Gao Xuan and the others..."
"On the 18th Army's Retreat"
"An ambush was set"
"hey-hey"
"If all goes well"
“There will be unexpected surprises”
Everyone in the command room looked at each other in surprise.
They only knew that Li Yan was powerful before
But never cooperated
The feeling is not that profound
Now, through this great victory in the Battle of Xibei
Four big words appeared in everyone's mind
Carefully planned
When everyone is watching Li Yan
There is a hint of admiration in his eyes
Chairman Zhang smiled.
He pointed at Li Yan and said, "Good boy!"
"I didn't expect you to have a backup plan."
"The national army will have a headache if they encounter you again in the future."
Haha
Everyone laughed again
Chairman Zhang waved again
Said: "Old Tan"
"Go on and tell me about the seizure."
Minister Tan nodded
Said: "This time we
"A total of 4 82MM mortars, more than 300 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 7000 rifles were seized."
"But there are only more than 50,000 rounds of various bullets."
“There aren’t many shells.”
"Overall"
“We still suffered a loss.”
Li Yan smiled and said: "Due to our fierce artillery attack"
"Many weapons were destroyed on the spot"
"Plus, the 18th Army had already consumed a lot of ammunition in the early stages."
"It's great that we have seized so many weapons."
"It's just that we're a little short of ammunition."
“But we still have the arsenal.”
“Although the production of weapons is not yet possible”
“But producing bullets is still possible.”
"Don't forget that there are still many bullet shells left by the Nationalist Army on the battlefield."
“We can definitely pick it up and reassemble it.”
"In this way"
“Our losses are not big.”
"The most important thing now is what are our casualties?"
Minister Tan nodded in agreement and said, "This data has not been counted yet."
"There are still military commanders of various units below."
"Report the status of your troops in turn."
Minister Tan had just finished speaking
Commander Luo of the 1st Independent Division
He stood up and said, "There are more than 6500 people in our division."
"Almost half of them were killed or wounded during the attack on Changting"
"After the Battle of Xibei"
"Our First Independent Division suffered over 3500 casualties, over 600 seriously injured, and 700 lightly wounded."
"Now, including the lightly wounded, there are less than 1800 people who can fight."
Wait until Master Luo finishes speaking
Sighed and sat down
Commander Qiu of the Second Independent Division patted Commander Luo on the shoulder.
He stood up and said, "Our Second Independent Division also has more than 6500 people."
“But our casualties were not great.”
"More than 800 people died, more than 200 were seriously injured, and 300 were slightly injured."
"Now, including the lightly wounded, there are more than 5300 people who can fight."
"But the ammunition consumption is too high."
"The entire division has less than 3 rounds of ammunition"
Then, Commander Wu of the Third Independent Division
He stood up and said, "Our Third Independent Division is the worst off."
"A total of more than 4000 people died, more than 800 were seriously injured, and more than 300 were slightly injured."
"Now, including the lightly wounded, there are less than 1200 people who can fight."
......
Everyone frowned
