Chapter 160: The Wisdom of the Soldier

The 14th Division collapsed.

Zhao Emuran was pulled into a jeep by his personal guards and fled to Xujiaao in the already chaotic division headquarters.

The jeep was stuck in the mud before driving far in the mud, but Zhao E had no intention of getting off the car. He leaned his head down against the back of the chair, without any strength. His eyes, which were once full of confidence, were now empty in the sky, allowing the cold raindrops to hit his face.

He was still thinking about the nightmare that began two hours ago... Zhao E's 14th Division did not want to fight defense outside Shuangqiao Town. As soon as he encountered the vanguard of the People's Liberation Army, the three infantry regiments under Zhao E were immediately ordered to spread out across a large width, fill the 1.5-kilometer-wide front, and then prepare to go south to attack.

According to Zhao E, this is called a large-width assault.

Luo Qiuyu, deputy commander of the 14th Division, heard that this thing seemed like a tactical scientific name, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember that the scientific name was taught in the military academy books.

Yes, Zhao E is a genius. He created a new tactical theoretical system in addition to the three major tactical systems of the world. What is it called? By the way, the big-width assault theory of Mao Xiong, Hans' blitzkrieg theory of Hans and the big-turning interlude theory of rabbits.

Don't ask me if this big-width assault is powerful. Anyway, I think it sounds very powerful. Big-width! Assault! It sounds very exciting! There is no doubt that as long as you pull it wide enough, the enemy will be pulled as wide as it will be, and then another assault... Zhao E is confident in his tactics. He has always fought like this in the past, pulling it away, then rushing, and then retracting to defend. Although he has never won much before... but... this is obviously because of the poor ability of the soldiers, so Zhao E cannot blame him for his tactics.

Seeing that the 14th Division did not choose to defend on the spot, but rushed down fiercely. The 65th Division's 194th Regiment's troops did not hesitate to attack? Come on.

The first report Zhao E heard was:

"The stormtrooper was killed and injured."

Zhao E told himself to keep calm and break through, there were always some casualties. Ten thousand people rushed down, and the enemy's two or three thousand people would have to bite him to death no matter how he said it.

Then reports came one by one:

"Teacher, the front-line troops of the Second Regiment collapsed!"

"The division seat, on the west side, the right wing of our third regiment of the army was surrounded by the military supplies, and the brothers were dispersed!"

"The division seat, the left wing of our army on the east side was surrounded by the military supply troops. Brothers can't stand it!"

"The enemy army on the west side has broken the third regiment and is accelerating the encirclement behind me. If it doesn't leave, it will be too late!"

“Master’s seat…”

“Master’s seat…”

“Master’s seat…”

Zhao E sat in the jeep motionless, letting the dense gunshots get closer and closer... Just after nine o'clock, the 65th Division's participating troops used strong firepower to bravely intersperse the assault. It took two hours to completely eat more than 10,000 people from the 14th Division. Our army was killed and killed, and 125 were injured.

This war captive captive more than 4,800 people, including Zhao E, the commander of the 14th Division. At that time, he was sitting in his jeep and cried in the farmland. (Zhao E: "That's rain! The soul is fading~!~!...") At this moment, the 19th Division and the 45th Division of the 19th Army had also been assembled in Xujiaao. Because a large number of soldiers died and shot in the shelling and fled into the mountains and did not return to the team, the 19th Division and the 45th Division have only gathered about 11,000 people so far, and a large number of heavy weapons were lost on the positions or destroyed by shelling. The troops of this 11,000 people have actually become a bolt-type rifle division.

Liu Yunhan, the commander of the 19th Army, was crying in the face of this situation, but fortunately, he had sent the 14th Division south to attack the beach, which was considered an explanation. Liu Yunhan decided to defend Xujiaao to the death and wait for the 52nd Army stationed on the north of Zhoushan Island to come to aid.

As soon as the south started, Liu Yunhan knew that it was broken, and the military service had already pushed so close.

However, Liu Yunhan did not send reinforcements. Liu Yunhan was right. If Zhao E's almost intact division is defeated, more than 10,000 people will be able to rush down to fill in the stuffing material.

So the 19th Army began to carry out fortification defense on the spot and dug trenches on the south of the muddy Xujiaao.

In the end, the news came that Zhao E's 14th Division was destroyed, which made Liu Yunhan almost fainted, but he was glad that he did not go south and arranged fortifications early.

When he thought that ten thousand people were killed in two hours, Liu Yunhan kept slapping his thighs and cursing Zhao E in his 19th Army command. "This is a coward! Zhao Gou, who is talking about war on paper! What a bullshit attack! I am a 8th generation of ancestors!..."

With fear of the combat power of the People's Liberation Army, Liu Yunhan led the remaining 19th Division of the 19th Army and the remaining 45th Division to evacuate the valley to the north, advancing northward to welcome the rescue of the 52nd Army, and deploying troops to fill the valley for defense, hoping that the People's Liberation Army would be blocked in this valley.

When fighting against the 19th Army on the Northwest Road, the three companies of the 193rd Regiment also went to various intersections and ridges leading to Dinghai on the east side of Zhoujiayuan area, preparing to block the 67th Army of Hu Lian coming from Dinghai.

Hu Lian's 67th Army was hit in chaos during the half-hour bombardment of the People's Liberation Army's 130mm cannon cluster. If it were attacked by the army at that time, it might have dispersed directly.

After finally waiting for the end of the large-scale artillery bombardment, Hu Lian's back was already sweating. He felt that Dinghai could not stay still, so he decided to start the 67th Army and the mechanized armored legion. Of course, he had to start the army. Wouldn't he have to lie on the spot become a living target for military artillery fire?

The 67th Army existed in Zhoushan in the form of Chiang Kai-shek's general combat reserve team, which means to put out the fire wherever there is something to do. Zhoujiayuan, which is close to Dinghai, has been landed. Needless to say, Hu Lian's combat mission is to advance towards Zhoujiayuan.

So the 67th Army, which was rebuilt by the second training headquarters of the Kuomintang, recruited in Jiangxi at the end of 1948, was launched. More than 28,000 surviving three divisions under the command, drove the remaining 140 iron armored vehicles, 18 American m5a1 tanks and a large number of troops transport trucks toward the Zhoujiayuan area.

The 67th Army has the three divisions under its command, 218, 219, and 385. The 219th Division, which is the westmost, naturally became the vanguard. However, the vanguard had encountered continuous sporadic artillery as soon as it set off. This was because it was already dawning at this moment, and the vanguard began to take on the task of artillery calibration.

Under the continuous guidance of the navigator of the 5th Reconnaissance Fifth, the 130mm cannon cluster continued to shell the 219th Division of the 67th Army advancing westward. With the help of calibration from the air, the two groups of 130mm cannons fired more and more accurately, and the 219th Division fell into chaos as soon as it set off.

The 219th Division, which had more than 10,000 people, is now slumped on the road and is waiting for the artillery to be completed. However, the other party's two guns and one group of firepower will be delivered every six seconds, and they will never stop. In order to prevent the artillery fire from being scattered in the muddy farmland, the soldiers and officers were all trembling in the cold, but they did not dare to go on the road. Seeing the simple road, trucks were constantly destroyed by artillery fire, and they blew up like paper. The 219th Division was silent and refused to go further before the artillery fire ended.

Li Shouguan, the commander of the 219th Division, kept complaining to Hu Lian on the radio:

"Military throne, the artillery soldiers serving the army are now blowing up my brother's 219th Division, the shells are extremely accurate, my truck is almost blown up, the road is already rotten, and now it has been blown to break several pits. Brother, I can't move anymore."

When Hu Lian heard Li Shouguan’s words, he felt angry and said sternly:

"The military supply now uses piecemeal artillery fire to block the reinforcement speed of our army! Don't tell me the casualties, I don't listen! One hour from now on, you must rush to Yaaoling and Luotouling to guard these two necessary paths to enter Zhou's home. Even if the trucks are gone, you must run over for me!"

When Li Shouguan heard Hu Lian's words, he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he gave the death order. The 219th Division threw down the vehicle and ran west on foot.

Hu Lian had no choice but to do so, because if these two roads were blocked, he could only climb over the beach at the southmost point, or rely on landing craft to rush up from the back of the military. Seeing that the artillery fire of the military was so powerful, Hu Lian did not have the awareness of taking the landing craft into the Jintang waterway at all. As for passing through the muddy and narrow mountain beach, Hu Lian didn't even think about it. If there was no road, would he have to mechanized armored troops throw away all the motor vehicles and walk over?

Fortunately, the journey was very close, and the 219th Division really left all the vehicles and walked 1.5 kilometers. First, they arrived at Yaao Ridge from Yancang and divided their troops to head towards Luotou Ridge.

Along the way, the scene of the destruction of various fortifications was shocking. There was no doubt that the soldiers garrisoned had either been killed or ran into the mountains or villages.

The People's Liberation Army's artillery fire has been following the 219th Division, and it still hits the nerves of the 219th Division with two guns and two guns rhythmically. The 219th Division's 1.5 kilometers was too hard to walk, and every step was accompanied by death. Listening to the casualties reported by his subordinates on the radio, Li Shouguan was fucked with a blue face and fucked the eighth generation of Hu Lian in his heart. At the same time, he prayed for God's blessing, so that the shells must not land on the division headquarters that he set up at the foot of the Caijia Village.

The 219th Division finally saw the road sandwiched between the two mountains under Yaao Ridge, but began to take over the firepower of the first battalion led by Ge Cunfu of the 193rd Regiment. The two companies that went up were beaten to death and wounded.

The Second and Third Battalions led by Li Sijiu at this moment have completed the purge of the remaining soldiers of Chiang’s army in the northeast of Zhoujiayuan area and began to gather towards Yaao Ridge to the east.

Li Sijiu doesn't like defense, he likes attacking, bayonet-like attacking.

Someone praised him in front of him, saying that attack is the best defense, and he just smiled.

He really just doesn't like defense and simply loves attacking. It has nothing to do with those mouth-wrinkling tactical philosophy.

Therefore, Li Sijiu didn't go to the intersection of Yaaoling and Luotouling. Ge Cunfu was there, so he was relieved. Because he knew that Ge Cunfu was the most defensive among his three battalion commanders. Li Sijiu did not like defense, which did not mean that he did not appreciate the genius of defense, and Ge Cunfu was such a defensive genius.

Li Sijiu led the Second and Third Battalions to climb Yaao Ridge from the north. He wanted to climb over this 800-meter-wide hill, and kept hitting and inserting it in so that he could be satisfied with himself. As for whether the division commander was satisfied or not, Li Sijiu really didn't have the time to think about it.

In fact, Chen Shifa, the commander of the 65th Division, was very clear about Li Sijiu's approach. It was precisely because he knew too much that Chen Shifa finally racked his brains to think, and chose the 193rd regiment to block the attack.

Chen Shifa knew that if he asked Li Sijiu to rush eastward, this kid might have been rushing to Dinghai. But what Chen Shifa wanted was the Qingling Village Pass eastward and the Maoling Village Pass southward. Therefore, Chen Shifa cunningly chose Li Sijiu to go eastward to fight and block.

Is there anyone who understands Li Sijiu better than Chen Shifa?
