Chapter 245 The Battle of Purgatory (3)

The attack momentum of the Youth Army was unexpectedly smooth. In just under twenty minutes, more than one regiment of troops crossed the Mi River and easily occupied the front line of the Anwu Army. However, the good luck of the Youth Army ended here. Just when the Anwu Army's defense line was broken through, ten miles away from the front line of the Anwu Army, the deputy commander of the Anwu Army, Ni Min, sat up and smiled: "I knew you wouldn't help but want to play night attacks. Tell me, let's enter the position according to the original plan. Let's play a big game. I want to see if it was his Ma Jizeng Fanzhu or this Young Army with copper heads and iron legs. Grandma's, these damn young soldiers really think that the Anwu Army is useless. When I was playing with girls, their grandsons were still in their mother's stomachs."

The Beiyang soldiers of the Anwu Army were woken up by the officers. The veterans who participated in the suppression of the 1911 Revolution and the Second Revolution immediately finished their assembly, picked up their weapons, and entered the preset positions. A large pocket was waiting for the young army to plunge in. The forty mountain cannons of the Anwu Army artillery that had never opened fire and exposed their positions also took off their cannon coats and waited for the front to fire.

After Liu Xuyi successfully captured the front line, he did not immediately order to continue to break through, because he felt that it was much more reliable to establish a foothold than to defeat the Anwu Army. The other regiment commander Lin Hu did not think so. He felt that the opportunity should not be lost and he would not come again. So he bravely continued to attack forward with the second battalion of the 701st Regiment, and took advantage of the night to stir up chaos in the Anwu Army's position.

More than 1,600 brave soldiers of the Youth Army rushed out bravely and rushed for more than 400 meters in one breath. At this time, many fires suddenly appeared in front of them. No matter how you look at it, they didn't think it was ignited by artillery bombardment.

Lin Hu immediately felt that he was cheating and quickly ordered the attack to stop. However, in such a dark night, he could command only hundreds of people around him. Many brothers who were unknown were brave enough to continue rushing forward. Around him, the soldiers of the Anwu Army had already pulled the bolts and loaded the bullets.

When the first sinful bullet shot out from the Beiyang soldiers' gun chamber and penetrated the chest of a young soldier, the young soldier was still rushing forward, not knowing that the god of death was approaching them.

"Dududu,,,,,." More than 30 heavy machine guns were bluntly hitting the three young soldiers who were charging from the front. More than 50 officers and soldiers in the first platoon of the 701st Regiment assault company were shot and killed in less than a minute. These young men with patriotism were ruthlessly swept to the ground without even making a counterattack.

Then more young soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. Lin Hu, who was dragged behind, felt a sense of chest tightness. He actually said that he almost vomited blood. However, he quickly woke up. Although it was dark now, judging from the intensity of the firepower opposite, this was obviously an ambush. Could it be that the night attack on his side had been seen through by the enemy?

However, at this time, the effect of long-term and rigorous training was reflected at this time. After about 100 young soldiers were knocked down by the enemy's crazy strafing, the subsequent young soldiers all chose to lie down and fired against the Beiyang Army.

Night shooting training has been carried out, and all the flashing firelights mean the existence of the enemy. At this time, the youth army's fast, accurate and ruthless shooting skills are clearly reflected. Every gunshot means that this Beiyang soldier was shot to the ground.

As soon as the Beiyang soldiers stopped doing this, no one was willing to confront such a powerful opponent. The firepower suppression in the three directions was immediately reduced by half, but before Lin Hu was happy, An Wujun had already calibrated the forty mountain cannons that shot Zhu Yuan and fired without hesitation. Now there were no sharpshooters. One by one, the young officers and soldiers flew up with the explosion of shells for a long time, and then fell heavily, and the whole person was blown to pieces.

No matter how strict the training is, the soldiers cannot eliminate the fear of the power of cannons. All soldiers choose to find shelter or escape from this area as soon as possible. It is so terrifying.

A total of more than 800 young officers and soldiers rushed into the ambush area of ​​the Anwu Army. In less than ten minutes, more than 500 casualties were killed or injured, and only more than 200 escaped by chance.

At this time, the Anwu army began to counterattack. Groups of Anwu soldiers held bayonet rifles and pressed down at the Youth Army. Bai Chongxi, who was still on the other side of the river, immediately screamed in disbelief: "Liao Lei, this time we encountered a nail in the hand. Judging from the firepower, our opponent is an old world. We have known for a long time that we are going to play night attacks. We may suffer a big loss this time."

Liao Lei put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Brother Jiansheng, what do you think you should do? Should we remove the troops now?"

Bai Chongxi did not answer directly, pondered for a long time and suddenly asked, "How many people have we passed."

The staff officer around him immediately said after hearing this: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion have crossed the river, the first battalion of the 701st regiment, the second battalion, and the third battalion are crossing the river."

Bai Chongxi walked to the map again, took a look, and suddenly slapped the table very maneuveringly and said loudly: "Transfer our military order and told Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu that the honor of our youth army is on them. I ordered them to never allow them to take a step back. No matter what method is used, they must persist until dawn. At the same time, they ordered the artillery to organize the position to move forward immediately, and we must play a big one."

Liao Lei seemed to not quite understand what was going on, so he hurriedly asked: "Brother Jiansheng, what's the matter."

Bai Jiansheng said with a solemn look on his face: "We caught the An Wu army's words on the opposite side. The other party was obviously waiting for us to rush over without knowing the death, and then caught us off guard. If I guessed correctly, we will receive a report from the front later that we suffered a great loss. Next, the An Wu army will definitely continue to attack until we are driven back to our original position, which will have a great blow to our morale."

Liao Lei still didn't seem to understand: "Then what does this have to do with Brother Jiansheng, you want Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu to defend the dead on the position."

Bai Chongxi clenched his teeth and said, "Damn, I, Bai Chongxi, have never been designed by anyone. This time, this matter is not over. I dare to cheat me. Isn't this a death rhythm? Okay, aren't you going to cheat me? I'll let you An Wujun come and cheat me. Now I'm just putting a hard bone in front of you. If you have the ability, you can show me. If you don't jump off your front teeth, you're considered cruel."

Liao Lei is basically a little clear now. Bai Chongxi is going to play a war of attrition. Isn’t your An Wu army going to drive the youth army back? Bai Chongxi still refused to retreat and just stuck in the position and kept moving, so you can chew it.

It is estimated that the Anwu Army will not pay a price, and this bone cannot be gnawed. However, in this way, the 401st and 701st Regiments that carry out this hard bone mission will be under great pressure. Maybe the losses will be heavy or light, and it is not impossible to eliminate the entire army.

Liao Lei unconsciously drew a Leng Zi when he thought of this, and then suddenly felt that Brother Bai Chongxi in front of him had become very strange. Is this still the same classmate, friend and brother in the past? Why did he become a cruel person in just a few years? You know, Liao Lei is also a cruel person, but in his heart, all the officers and soldiers are still living people. In Brother Bai's eyes, it seems that these officers and soldiers are just tools and numbers. The value of their existence seems to be to achieve the goal for Brother Bai. Liao Lei felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had done the thing to send soldiers to death, he was never so desperate. At least he would be sad afterwards. Brother Bai seemed to be not caring about this. All he wanted was the result, the result of victory.

After the messenger went out, Liao Lei glanced at Bai Chongxi again and thought to himself, is this the change in his mentality after a person's status has increased?

After receiving the order to stay on the spot, Liu Xuyi frowned unconsciously and decided to implement it.

However, Liu Xuyi did not forget to explain to the adjutant: "Hurry up and drag the wounded soldiers down and treat them quickly. It will be difficult for brothers."

"Quick, hurry, medical soldiers, medical soldiers, wounded, wounded." Although the 701st Regiment was beaten by the Anwu Army to suffer heavy casualties, even in this case, the officers and soldiers did not forget to drag the injured brother down. As for those who died in battle, I'm sorry. According to the regulations of the military regulations, you can ignore it. At all, everyone is nervously summoning medical soldiers.

But then we encountered problems, and the wounded soldiers were pulled to the river but were not allowed to cross the pontoon bridge.

"Who are you? Why don't we allow us to cross the bridge?" Liu Xuyi's adjutant asked loudly. Half of the more than 40 wounded people needed immediate surgery, but a team of people did not allow stretchers to cross the pontoon bridge.

"Stop talking nonsense. We are from the division law enforcement team. According to the orders of the Left Route Army Command, all three floating bridges were changed to one-way use. Our soldiers were only allowed to advance and not retreat." An officer with the red armband in the words "enforcement" replied proudly.

Liu Xuyi's adjutant was very angry: "But if these injured brothers were not sent to the field hospital of the division headquarters for treatment in time, they would die."

The officer of the law enforcement team said disdainfully: "This is not what I want to consider. The order I received is to protect the order of these three floating bridges. One-way traffic means one-way traffic. Go away and don't block the way, otherwise military law will be carried out."

The first battalion commander Wang Kewen happened to bring people to carry supplies. Just now, the 401st Regiment defeated the Anwu Army unit who was pursuing the 701st Regiment. As a result, he saw this scene and became angry: "You are not from the Youth Army, how can you ignore your brothers so much?"

The matter immediately became a big deal, and the law enforcement officer said with a cold face: "If you dare to hinder military affairs, we will arrest you. I would like to advise you that our 7th Division law enforcement team is currently only owned by the Left Army Command."

Wang Kewen is also a fierce man, and he doesn't want to be so angry: "I care who you are. Let this floating bridge be released. After the fight comes, there will be many wounded people coming down, so there must be a passage."

The law enforcement officer may have encountered this situation for the first time and was also angry. He raised his hand and eight soldiers under him who were responsible for maintaining the order immediately raised their rifles and pointed them at Wang Kewen and others. The officer said proudly: "You can try it."
