Chapter 281 : Advance! Pingyuan Army! 【2】(1/2)
On the banks of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, the position of the 7th Infantry Division of Pingyuan Army
"Teacher! The headquarters sent a message asking us to launch a counterattack immediately and occupy the first line of defense of the Central Army before 2 pm!"
A correspondent said loudly with a telegram.
"Before two o'clock in the afternoon? So anxious? Contact the Air Force and let them provide us with air support. It is best to bomb the troops that the Central Army came to support. As long as their reinforcements chain is broken for half an hour, I can let the troops occupy the first line of defense in the shortest time!"
After hearing this, Huang Degang suddenly said after walking around the command center twice.
"yes!"
When Zhao Tiezhu's order reached the front line troops, the front line troops immediately began to contact the heavy artillery troops and the air force, asking them to provide air support.
Regarding this, the Air Force immediately began to fully dispatch.
And the four heavy artillery divisions also began to shell.
Before, four heavy artillery divisions were divided into two rounds of shelling.
Now that you are going to attack, you naturally have to support it with all your strength.
"Everyone, all the bayonets are put on! Pull the fox line and stay on the spot to support fire! General machine guns follow us to charge!"
A company commander said, carrying a semi-automatic rifle with a bayonet, he led his troops to charge.
Pingyuan's attack was not like the Central Army's chasing.
Pingyuan's attack was carried out by alternate covers of scattered lines.
Among the three rows of scattered soldiers, there must be one row of cover and two rows of charge.
Then the front row of covers and the back cover charge.
Such a tactical model can greatly reduce casualties of soldiers on one's own side, and at the same time it can also greatly damage the enemy during the attack.
Although it sounds quite slow, in fact, this set of tactics is extremely fast to execute.
Just as the Pingyuan Army launched a counterattack, the dive bombers in the sky rushed down from the sky like hungry wolves.
Their loading is carried out at the cooling air inlet of the machine head, and it will make extremely sharp screams when diving.
The sharp scream now that the Central Army soldiers' faces changed drastically once they heard this sound.
The bombs carried by this type of bomber are almost all heavy aviation bombs.
A bomb dropped will cause a large-scale damage.
In particular, their outrageous accuracy makes Central Army soldiers feel terrifying.
The artillery regiments of various infantry divisions are constantly providing precise support to their own troops.
Pingyuan's army began to launch a counterattack on its entire line.
One morning, after they wiped out the enemy's army, they began to launch a counterattack.
He stepped on the bodies of the Central Army soldiers and charged under the cover of the Air Force and artillery units.
A Central Army soldier fell to the ground and bombs fell into the crowd of Central Army soldiers.
The Central Army soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden counter-charge. They did not expect that the Pingyuan Army would suddenly launch a counter-charge.
Many Central Army soldiers were killed on the ground without reacting.
This is just the beginning.
The Central Army soldiers behind us realized that they had thought about striving to resist the attack of Pingyuan Army.
The officers of the Central Army are constantly celebrating their troops.
If they say that they have a small number of people, they will definitely be able to stop them.
But the facts tell them that in modern wars, the number of people can no longer determine the outcome of the war.
With poor weapons and equipment and uneven training, they cannot compete with the professional army, Pingyuan Army.
When they are unable to resist, even shooting, there is a risk of being killed.
The Central Army collapsed.
Just like the Battle of Songhu in history, at the beginning, their attack was extremely tenacious.
They dared to charge against the naval guns, just like they were bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Pingyuan Army this morning.
But in the afternoon, Pingyuan's army suddenly counterattacked and began to retreat.
There is no slight order, there is only retreat.
The Central Army soldiers on the front line retreated frantically, while the Pingyuan Army launched a crazy pursuit.
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the surface of the Yangtze River, looking extremely beautiful.
Zhao Tiezhu stood outside the command center, staring at Jiang Shui in a daze.
The first line of defense was occupied before 2 pm.
And they also stopped the attack again based on the first line of defense.
It was not because they could not attack, but because the Beiping Military Department sent a message asking them to slow down the pace of the attack. Now that the war has just begun, the area south of the Yangtze River is still under the control of the Nanjing government.
The military headquarters' plan is to encircle the Nanjing government's army in and around Nanjing.
The most important places are Taizhou, Quanzhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, Shanghai, Wuhan and him.
The troops from Taizhou, Quanzhou, Wuhan and the Gui army from Guangdong and Guangxi met in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and put pressure on the Nanjing government from the south.
Shanghai and him will put pressure on the Nanjing government from the south.
If he fought too hard, the Nanjing government would immediately give up areas like Nanjing and Shanghai.
At that time, they retreat to Hubei and then to Chongqing will increase their attack difficulty, and the plan to unify the whole country will be postponed.
The troops from Guangyuan are also attacking now, and I believe they will be able to fight to Chengdu soon.
But to fight Chengdu, the help of the Inland Fleet is needed.
You know, the Nanjing government has arranged heavy troops in Chongqing. Even if Xue Yue conquered Chengdu and its surrounding areas, fighting Chongqing would be another concept!
"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about the military headquarters' telegram?"
Qian Dajun walked to Zhao Tiezhu and said.
"Not! I don't know what the offensives of Taizhou and Quanzhou are going to be! If they don't hit Jiangxi as soon as possible, our attack here may have to be postponed!
Now we have occupied the first line of defense, and the second one is below.
But their second line of defense was bombed by us before, and their line of defense was completely broken. I can take it down in half a day!"
"Taizhou? Quanzhou? Haha! You don't have to worry about these two places.
Although there are only three armies in each place, and more than 100,000 troops.
But they all followed the commander's starting troops and fought south and north. Now many of our territories are captured by them! The combat power is too strong, and no one knows how strong they are! They will be fine!"
Qian Dajun said with a smile.
"Well! I naturally know this. Which one of the troops who started with the Grand Marshal was not elite now?"
On April 14, 1932, the Pingyuan Army launched a full-scale attack on the Nanjing government and a national unification war broke out. Taizhou, an important offensive place in Han Ling's eyes, naturally began to attack.
The troops in Taizhou are the First Army, the Second Army and the Third Army.
The commander of the Taizhou Volunteer Army was Sun Chu.
Opposite Sun Chu is a 300,000 army arranged by the Nanjing government.
Behind this 300,000 army, the Nanjing government also arranged 200,000 reserve troops.
After Han Ling deployed these three armies to Taizhou, the Nanjing government felt that the war was approaching.
The Chairman also knew that if the Peking government dared to place these people here, then these people must be the elite of Pingyuan Army.
So he arranged a lot of troops on the periphery of Taizhou and Quanzhou.
However, because Fujian is mountainous, the chairman of the committee arranged not many troops, with only 300,000 troops in total.
However, Taizhou's army will have a lot more, with 500,000 troops in front and behind.
On the first day of the attack, Sun Chu attacked the elite of Pingyuan Army.
Sun Chu, a former surrendered general, was not favored by some people. After all, he surrendered from the Jinsui Army.
Many people believe that the reason why he was able to take the position of commander of the Taizhou Volunteer Army as a surrendered general was because he and Dashen were fellow villagers.
How could this make the arrogant Sun Chu bear it?
You know, he had already been in a high position when he was in the Jinsui Army.
In order to shut up those people, Sun Chu made up his mind.
We must show our abilities to those people. Sun Chu did not take this position by his relationship with the Grand Marshal, and Sun Chu also has real talents and knowledge.
This time, when Han Ling asked him to lead the three most elite infantry troops of the Pingyuan Army, he also made him secretly grateful.
As the commander of the First Army, Sun Chu knew how elite these six infantry troops were.
