Chapter 144 Bangou Ambush Battle (3)
Looking at the remnants of the Gui army who were leaving, Huang Dehu sat on the ground, and the rifle with his name engraved was thrown on the ground. From childhood to adulthood, even if he was besieged by hundreds of people in the Feishan New Army Camp in Jingzhou 803, he would not feel as terrifying as he is today.
The bright bayonets, the soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us intertwined, were thorned, punched and kicked, hugged, kept fighting, screaming before the loser died, and the painful ** of the undead, scenes surrounded Huang Dehu's mind and could not be dissipated for a long time.
He suddenly remembered the squad leader's words to him: "Hold the gun in your hand, he is your wife, and the only guarantee for you to survive."
"Where is the squad leader." Huang Dehu suddenly remembered the squad leader who liked to yell, then raised his head and looked around. He couldn't see the squad leader's shadow. He quickly stood up to find the squad leader who was in line with him.
Finally, near the hillside, he found his squad leader, and a bullet hit his eyebrows. The blood had stopped flowing, and the squad leader's eyes opened wide in front of the sky.
The squad leader died, and a sudden burst of sadness suddenly surged in Huang Dehu's heart.
The clerk of the company headquarters walked over with the platoon leader at this time: "What about the squad leader of the third squad."
Huang Dehu closed the squad leader's eyes with his hands, turned around and replied, "It's glorious."
The clerk sighed. The casualties today were indeed a bit large. A total of 168 people were killed and more than 200 people were injured. The entire 303rd Regiment was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, but the orders of the regiment headquarters still need to be implemented: "From now on, you will act as the squad leader of the row of three squads, gather the rest of the people, and continue to move forward with the regiment headquarters."
After saying that, the clerk and the platoon leader left. Huang Dehu looked at the squad leader for the last time and looked around. The person in charge of collecting the corpses was recording the number of each dead person, and took the relics from them, bagged them and sealed them back to their families. The people from the 304th Regiment were passing through this battlefield. Obviously, they were shocked by the tragedy here, and they couldn't help but slow down.
On this side, on a certain unknown hill, after the desperate resistance of the First Division of the Gui Army, the offensive of the Xiangxi Army had stopped.
Bai Chongxi stopped the meaningless continuous attacks of the 301st and 302nd Regiments. He ordered the mortars and mountain artillery to be transported up, and each unit built simple fortifications, so that the main force of the Gui army would be trapped.
Although Huang Xuchu worked hard in the tragic situation, God seemed to have to give him the tragedy of his life at one time. Huang Xuchu, who had finally broken through the siege, actually rushed into the position of the 302nd Regiment with more than 200 people involved in the regiment. Then, he was naturally disarmed by the 302nd Regiment without hesitation. Huang Xuchu had been tortured for most of the day and was still captured. He and Tao Jun looked at each other and kept not doing anything.
At this time, the Bangou ambush had entered the predetermined track. Chen Bingkun completely lost the support point on the periphery. He could not last long with just one mountain and more than a thousand guns. Because his adjutant told him just now that the ammunition was insufficient, and the troops transporting the baggage had now become the enemy's transport team. The ammunition carried by these people was basically exhausted, and the remaining ammunition was less than three. If they had to continue, they would probably have to fight hand-to-hand. Because they were busy with the marching, they fought until six o'clock in the afternoon and the soldiers had not had lunch and had dinner. Although several people survived the cooking squad and followed the hill, all the pots, tiles, scoops, and so on were thrown on the river beach, including military rations.
I didn’t think it was in the battle before, but now when I stop, everyone feels hungry.
Under such circumstances, Bai Chongxi did something very unvirtuous. He ordered the cooking squads of each company to immediately build a pot and cook rice above the river valley, and they had to stew meat. As for whether the meat was eaten by the subordinates just killed, they no longer considered the scope. His purpose was very clear, either a tooth sacrifice or a meat fragrance to disgust Gui Jun.
Soon the fragrance of rice and meat continued to drift towards the Gui Army's position with the breeze in the river valley. The soldiers of the Gui Army, like tigers and wolfs, couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and then looked at their commanders, who turned their eyes to Chen Bingkun.
This Gui Tiger General, who was extremely glorious before and after the Revolution of 1911, is now in his heart as sad as ever. He was so careless that he accidentally said that the person who ambushed him this time was the Third Division of the Xiangxi Army. The commander was Li Zongren and the chief of staff was Bai Chongxi. They were all young men in their early twenties. He was a little too young. He was a man of two young men in his old world. He was actually plotting against him. He would not make people laugh to death if he said it.
Chen Bingkun's thinking became narrower and narrower, but he suddenly realized that he could not fight anymore, his brothers no longer had morale, and he did not take advantage of the right time, place and people like him. In the current situation, if you use chess to describe it, it would be impossible for him to escape. Since it is impossible to break through, it is necessary to give these soldiers who have followed him for many years a way out.
Chen Bingkun thought about it and said that it was difficult. If he wanted to live, he had to surrender. If he surrendered, he would be sorry for veteran Lu. What should he do?
The adjutant who had followed him for many years was still very powerful. He immediately guessed the issue from the teacher's awkward expression. He quietly stepped forward and said, "Teacher, let's run away with plainclothes. This battle cannot be fought. Let's give the brothers a way out."
This idea came up with both sides. Chen Bingkun couldn't help but cheer in his heart. He looked around and whispered to the adjutant: "You go and tell me where the officer is, let them persevere more, and we can surrender after we get out,."
Two hours later, more than 1,300 remaining troops of the First Division of the Gui Army raised white flags to the Xiangxi Army and surrendered. The Bangou ambush ended with the complete victory of the Third Division of the Xiangxi Army.
As for Chen Bingkun, I'm sorry, his escape plan failed to get him out in the end. The agents of the MIIS recognized him as a storied figure in Guilin, so he could only be a prisoner obediently.
The Bangou ambush was a huge result. In just over four hours, the 5,000 elite troops of the First Division of the Gui Army were destroyed, including more than 1,100 people who were killed, 3,000 were captured, and several were missing.
Due to the tenacious resistance of the Gui army, the 3rd Division of the garrison of the Tigers in western Hunan suffered a lot of losses, including the 301, 302, and 303 regiments, with the 301 and 302 regiments suffering about 200 casualties, and the 303 regiments suffering more than 300 casualties. Such huge casualties made Li Zongren, the division commander, frowned unconsciously after hearing this: "What's going on? The casualties are so big."
Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi smiled calmly and said, "There is no immortal in war. Brother Delin doesn't have to worry too much. The most important thing is that we won, right?"
Li Zongren nodded and said, "But it is difficult to replenish the source of troops. A group of soldiers will be released after half a year of training for new soldiers."
Bai Chongxi actually had an objection to the recruitment and training of the new recruits, because this method killed the possibility of the commander leading the troops privately expanding the army, which was also a huge obstacle for himself, who had always been ambitious. However, now it is obviously an opportunity to break the shackles: "Brother Delin, according to my opinion, have we captured so many prisoners and just replenished them directly in the team. Anyway, they have good combat power and are treated high. As for the officers, they don't need to be shot or dismissed."
Li Zongren thought about it and said: "Yes, but we still have to follow the regulations and make a book, otherwise the General Staff and Military Affairs Office would not pay any funds."
Bai Chongxi slapped his head and forgot that this time, the Xiangxi garrison did not need to pass through officers at all levels. All soldiers had a bank note, which was from the Xiangxi Development Bank. Every month, the staff office of the General Staff Department made accounts, and the Military Department Finance Department would transfer the money to the bank note. This note was handled as a recruit, so it was impossible for officers at all levels to get empty salary. As for Bai Chongxi's idea of recruiting more personnel, it was even more impossible.
"Okay, it's up to you, brother." Bai Chongxi felt bad. The above-mentioned coach Wang was indeed a chess-high game. He counted everything and admired him very much. How did he know that Wang Zhenyu's move was obtained by combining the experience of the army organization in later generations. It was easy to come and the effect was significant. After all, it was tested by practice.
Just as he was thinking about it, the adjutant came over there to report: "Team Commander, Chief of Staff is not good, Commander Liao and his team are starting to fight with the prisoners of war."
Li Zongren was shocked: "What's the point of this Liao Lei? Jiansheng will go and have a look."
Bai Chongxi bit his teeth: "Notify the guards and bring all the weapons and leave for me."
Bai Chongxi is in a bad mood and is going to kill someone,,,,,.
Wang Zhenyu in Liuzhou City didn't know these trivial matters. He is in a very good mood now. Although the final data of the Bangou ambush has not been reported, the result of the battle was reported as soon as possible.
The 5,000 troops of the First Division of the Gui Army were wiped out and a complete victory was a very important victory. You should know that the entire Guangxi regular army was only 10,000, and half of them were wiped out in this battle. Not to mention the initiative on the battlefield, this deterrent effect alone is enough to pacify the entire Guangxi area.
Xu Yuanquan, who held the battle report, naturally did not forget to congratulate Wang Zhenyu: "Master, our battle can be said to have laid the whole situation. No matter how we fight, we will not suffer any loss. Should we release the news and shock Lu Rongting and the others."
Wang Zhenyu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't miss the news. First, Delin and Jiansheng are going to cheat Guilin, and there are two thousand troops that the First Division of the Gui Army did not dispatch. Second, Lu Rongting, who want to fight with us to the end, we should kill them clean, so as not to be scared, and retreat to the 100,000 mountains, and then it will be a troublesome to wipe out them."
Xu Yuanquan nodded: "What the commander said is very true. I will rush back to the First Division and have another ambush."
Wang Zhenyu shook his head: "No, the First Division wants to show weakness. He must let the Gui army enter Lai Gu. At that time, I will send the Third Division to quietly cross Youjiang and cut off their way back, so that I will not be afraid that someone will leak it. Guangxi will become our solid rear. Haha, it's funny. I didn't plan to want the entire Guangxi, but Lu Rongting forced me to destroy him. Since I made such a request, I can't be satisfied. You say yes, Brother Kecheng."
It is rare that Wang Zhenyu, who likes to get angry recently, made a joke, but even a veteran qualification like Xu Yuanquan dare not accept it. Xu Yuanquan greeted him and went out, which made Wang Zhenyu very embarrassed for a while.
"Lao Wu, go and see if there is any news about Stationmaster Gong and the others in Nanning." Wang Zhenyu explained and lay on the sofa to rest. The victory of the Bangou ambush finally made himself, who was determined to be the world, breathed a sigh of relief.
