Chapter 281 Lost and regained

The weapons of the Gui army were not as particular as the Guangdong army. Most of the soldiers were equipped with old-style rifles. The gun rod was too long, which was not conducive to any form of combat in the trench. One hundred Guangdong soldiers were like a stinger, straightly blocking the core of the position, and were invincible along the way, and the Gui army could not stop them at all.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that officers at all levels of the Gui Army finally stabilized their formation in sections and began to conquer the attack of the Guangdong Army in sections.

After all, Liu Yonghao had too few troops. Because the attack was too rapid and he went deep into the abdomen of the position, he was soon surrounded by the Gui army. However, he was not worried about all this. If he could attract the attention of all the Gui army, he would have truly completed the task.

"There are enemies behind you, be careful!"

"There are grenades, please dodge them!"

"Brothers, keep your formation steady and fight with them."

The battle gradually entered a state of confrontation. The Guangdong commando occupied a trench in the center of the position and fought a confrontation with the Gui army here. The Gui army was attacked at the beginning, and the army was in a panic. Even though the overall situation is stable now, everyone still couldn't figure out how many enemies there were. The confrontation was very careful. Before dawn and the rain did not stop, it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us. All shooting was blind.

However, the number of Gui army had a great advantage after all. As time went by, the Gui army soldiers gradually recovered from the chaos of the surprise attack. After officers at all levels stabilized their positions, they quickly changed their defense strategies and instead launched several rounds of sieges tentatively.

Liu Yonghao fought very violently. Every ten minutes, he could hear his morale-boosting shouts and self-disclosing numbers that confused the enemy's judgment. The Gui army could not tell what the identity of this unit was for a while. If he couldn't do it, the Third Division of the Guangdong Army really came to support him from Shaoguan.

It was early in midsummer, and the sky to the east was white, and the rain also weakened more significantly.

The battle became more and more intense, with the blasting of grenades, the muffled sound of shotguns, and the crowd kept shouting. Almost all the Gui army on the entire position were devoted to the assault force against Liu Yonghao, and they did not expect that another assault force had taken the opportunity to detour the rear and lurked towards the bunker of the Gui army camp.

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the north of the position, followed by another series of explosions.

The Gui soldiers were shocked and turned back and looked back, but saw a place deep in the position burning, and the flames rushed out more than ten feet high.

"I've suffered, the supply warehouse was blown up!"

"That's a warehouse of food and grass."

"You idiot, it rained too much yesterday, and ammunition and food were put together!"

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

The Gui soldiers exclaimed one by one. At this moment, a series of explosions came again in the southeast direction. The tongue of flames at the moment of explosion was like a giant dragon, rising more than two meters high. However, after this explosion, it did not continue to burn like a supply warehouse. The flames quickly calmed down, and only a thick smoke was left to rise.

Someone shouted again: "No, the battalion headquarters is gone, the battalion headquarters is gone!"

"Hurry, go and save the adults, come with me."

"The Guangdong army is fighting, run away quickly!"

The scene that finally settled down became chaotic again, with sounds everywhere, like headless flies. Taking advantage of this chaos, Liu Yonghao began to counterattack, and he led his team to attack the Gui army's stronghold along the tunnel. At the same time, another Guangdong army suddenly came out from the north like a magic weapon descending from the sky. The second Guangdong army appeared, which made the Gui army soldiers even more confused and panicked. How many Guangdong army were there? Did they surrounded the Guangdong army or the Guangdong army surrounded them?

More than ten minutes later, the Gui army suddenly realized that it had lost its central command. Some squads stood on their posts and stubbornly blocked the enemy. But when they turned their heads, they saw that the friendly troops in the surrounding trenches had long disappeared.

With the escape of the first Gui army soldier, the tenth and the hundredth appeared soon.

Seeing that the general situation was getting more and more favorable, Liu Yonghao immediately ordered the communications soldiers to stand on the top of the mountain to send a signal. The Baishi Village Regiment Headquarters received the signal and knew that the assault troops had successfully damaged the enemy. Mo Qingyu personally took the battle and rushed to the top of the mountain with the remaining two hundred soldiers ready to go along the road. This battle would have to be regained the position in one go. If it fails, it will fail, and no one has any choice.

As the Guangdong army reinforcements arrived at the top of the mountain, the Gui army could not see any hope of counterattack and began to retreat down the mountain.

At 6:30, the battle was finally coming to an end. While seizing a favorable position in the north, the assault troops set up a temporary defense line to prevent the Gui army from suddenly killing a resurgent. Mo Qingyu's reinforcements were scattered into the trenches as units to check the fish that had missed the net. Half an hour later, the Guangdong army regained the position, and seized two heavy machine guns, capturing two Gui army platoon leaders and more than 30 Gui army soldiers.

The captives were taken back to Baishi Village to imprison. Mo Qingyu quickly arranged the strategy of position defense. Because the troops were still insufficient at present, he had to follow the old sequence. Two companies were in battle, one company prepared, and the other company stayed in Baishi Village.

After the allocation, Wu Shaoting and the officials of the division headquarters visited the position for a tour. Wu Shaoting was very pleased with Mo Qingyu's surprise attack and regained the position, and praised it without hesitation.

The division headquarters had breakfast with the soldiers of the Second Regiment. The flour soaked in the rain turned into dough, mixed with rice and steamed it, sprinkled with salt and marinated with pickles. The soldiers were hungry all day long, and it was already very luxurious to have a hot breakfast, so naturally no one complained. After breakfast, Wu Shaoting decided to return to Yunfu, and before leaving, he solemnly told all the soldiers of the Second Regiment that as long as they persist for more than ten hours, reinforcements would definitely arrive.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment and the Division Guard Battalion had just won a battle, and their morale was very high, and everyone had the confidence to hold their positions until reinforcements arrived.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Wu Shaoting and the officers of the division headquarters went on foot to Yunan County, and Mo Qingyu led the officers of the regiment headquarters to the intersection.

Wang Chengwu slapped the battalion commander of the third battalion in the face and cursed: "Are you all fucking a meal? The butt you got is not hot yet, so he fucked the Guangdong Army to go back more! The battalion commander of the sixth battalion asked the Guangdong Army to blow it to death! You are so good, you still have the face to come back and ask me for support!"

The third battalion commander was so excited that he almost didn't spin around in place. He covered his hot cheeks, with a look of frustration and grievance, and said bitterly: "Mr. Wang, this... this cannot be blamed on the third general. Last night, the fourth general was standing in the rear. The sixth general rushed to occupy the position and prevented our third party from intervening. When the Guangdong army counterattacked, the third general heard the deserters of the sixth general saying that the Guangdong army had transferred reinforcements from Shaoguan..."

Wang Chengwu widened his eyes and asked: "Shaoguan reinforcements? The Third Division of the Guangdong Army?"

Seeing that the face of Biao Tong had a turning point, the battalion commander nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the deserters of the Sixth Battalion said so. Beizhi was not afraid of death. After the Sixth Battalion lost its position, the last one thought was to take it back. However, most of our front-line troops were on the mountain positions. The Sixth Battalion lost its position and the ammunition and food were also lost. So Beizhi then came back to ask the Lord for help."

Wang Chengwu no longer paid attention to the defense of the Third Battalion Commander. Now that the position is lost again, the Third Battalion Commander will definitely push all the blame on the dead. What surprised him was whether the Guangdong Army had reinforcements? If there were reinforcements, would it be the troops of the Third Division of Shaoguan? This seemed an inconsequential question, but in fact it was related to the overall situation of the entire Guangdong-Guangxi War! The Third Division was transferred from Shaoguan to deal with the Gui army, so what was the attitude of the Beiyang Army in Hunan?

There are countless speculations in this regard, and the more you guess, the more you guess, the more you become, the more you are, the more urgent it is to figure out the changes in Guangdong Province and get the exact information to make a definite judgment.
