Lin Haifeng turned around and looked in the direction of Chaohu Lake, and smiled, "You see, although we are standing on this Langxi Mountain now, we haven't moved the Qing army stuck between us and Zhang Lexing, in Ruilin's opinion, until now he can still maintain smooth contact with Chuzhou, they feel that they are still safe, of course, they will not turn over and come back immediately, aren't their blocking troops still confronting Zhang Lexing?" You see, the Qing army, which is closest to Chuzhou in the west, has not moved at the critical moment in Chuzhou. Shengbao didn't believe that Chuzhou could be taken by us at first, he was afraid that once he gave up the encirclement of Zhang Lexing, he would be turned into a climate by Zhang Lexing. Hehe, the Red Fifth Army's previous 'inaction' in Chuzhou confused them, and they felt good. It's been so long, and Katsubo hasn't been able to really understand our strength. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Xiucheng and Tan Shaoguang and sighed, "The purpose of our battle this time is to take advantage of the enemy's sudden logistical supply crisis to eliminate a large number of enemy living forces, not to rely on the temporary gains and losses of one city and one place. Siege is just a means. As you all know, if it weren't for the appearance of Miao Peilin, our initial goal would have been to push the front to the banks of the Huai River, and the main force would not have moved north, and we still hoped to leave the heavy burden caused by the flooding of the Yellow River to the Manchus first. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of Ruilin's eagerness to retreat at that time after taking Chuzhou, and first concentrate my forces to annihilate this enemy. But now...... The current situation does not allow us to do so. Luzhou is in danger, once Luzhou is lost, Zhang Lexing will be attacked on all sides, and it will be difficult to provide us with a solid barrier. Therefore, letting his reinforcements in first will also reduce the pressure in the direction of Luzhou. As soon as it entered the city, the Teaching Brigade immediately attacked with all its strength and smashed the Qing army camp that was still separated between us and Zhang Lexing's department. ”
"What if Shengbao sent to the rescue is his loyal rescue?"
"The reason why the Qing army in the west has not moved is that the result must be like this." Lin Haifeng sneered, "Shengbao wants to stabilize the battle line, he also wants to expand his results, as long as he keeps Chuzhou, after solving Luzhou, his purpose is naturally to eliminate Zhang Lexing's troops who have been encircled." Unfortunately, he didn't think that his backyard was also burning in the first place. I didn't expect that although we took Dingyuan and other places, we didn't take the initiative to attack them from behind. In order to solve Luzhou as much as possible and reverse their current passive situation, they will continue to transfer their troops to Luzhou and Chuzhou. According to the plan, in the early hours of this morning, that is, now, Chen Tingxiang's Red University Army has begun to attack Shouzhou. At noon at the latest, Shengbao will know that Miao Peilin is anyway, and there is also the news of the loss of Shouzhou Laowo. He has to run, and for his run, Chuzhou is a place that cannot be lost. His elite troops had to stay in Chuzhou obediently. Once the victory and security line retreats, Huaibei he can't go, the only way is to go to Henan, the miscellaneous weapons he can take away, for us, there is and no are the same, as long as we chase the butt and beat, there is not much left. After breaking through the Qing army camp, the teaching brigade had to resist the attack from Ruilin with the cooperation of Zhang Lexing's department, and they had no other way out, and the peasant army in southern Anhui and the newly trained men and horses sent by the Yiwang had already crossed the river, blocking their way to the west. This is a mourning soldier who is desperate to get out when the time comes, and it can be crazy. Also, you have to block the retreat of all Qing troops entering Chuzhou City. How about it, it shouldn't be difficult for the 6,000 Iron Army to complete such a task, right? ”
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Tan Shaoguang smiled, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, not to mention their tens of thousands of horses, even if there are another 108,000, I will definitely not let one slip past me. ”
"I don't think it's difficult." Lin Haifeng smiled, "Without your iron army, I wouldn't dare to pull teeth out of Shengbao's mouth." However, we should not be too optimistic. In addition to the fact that the Second Regiment cannot be rebuilt and will continue to be engaged in street battles in the city, your special service battalion and artillery battalion will also be handed over to Li Xiucheng for use in operations in the city, and the heavy artillery battalion cannot be completely counted on. As for ammunition, I'll hide it from you, and I can't guarantee that I'll be able to supply it right now. The supplies in the back haven't arrived, hehe, I can't change it empty-handed, right? I'll go for it, though. Don't lie to you, Li Kaifang, that guy I sent a few letters to scold him, he may really be in trouble. ”
Tan Shaoguang and Li Xiucheng looked at each other. They knew that Li Kaifang was the commander-in-chief in charge of all logistical supplies for the Jiangbei army.
"There's one more thing I should sue you." Lin Haifeng smiled and looked at the direction of Shanghai, "Shanghai has changed, I don't know how far it can develop." Of course, no matter how big the change is, it can only be temporary, and it will not last long. But you also have to know in your heart that without the guns and ammunition we have, won't we go to war? ”
Tan Shaoguang and Li Xiucheng looked at each other and didn't say anything, but Lin Haifeng had already got the answer from their eyes. He looked up at the sky that was gradually brightening, and then at the two favorite generals, "How the military song is sung, do you remember?" ”
Tan Shaoguang and Li Xiucheng laughed at the same time.
"Well, maybe my question is a little simple." Lin Haifeng did not smile, "Remember, we are the people's army, not a private guard, no matter what day it is, no matter what happens, our Red Army will never shoot a single shot at our brothers." However, whoever dares to betray the Celestial Empire and the will of the people, then he is our enemy, no matter who he is, even if it is me now, you must destroy them without mercy! Can it be done? ”
"Yes!" Tan Shaoguang and Li Xiucheng replied without hesitation.
"Not only yourself, but also every soldier can consciously do this." Lin Haifeng said, turning the topic to the battlefield again, he patted Li Xiucheng on the shoulder, "The tactics of purging the remnants of the enemy in the city in the previous stage were not good, too hesitant, and the strength was not enough. After the start of the next stage, it is necessary to increase the firepower, save when it should be saved, and not be stingy when it should not be saved. Of course, you are worried, and I know in my heart, don't be afraid to break too many things, this is a war, and the responsibility for every destruction must be counted on the head of the Manchus. If it's broken, we can rebuild it. The old Chuzhou is gone, and the new Chuzhou will still be born in our hands. ”
With the entry of the Eighth Association of Zhongyi into Chuzhou, some lost ground has been regained, and Xu Shuanglai, who feels that he has stood firmly, suddenly came up crazy. However, he was met by the Red Army, which was crazier than him at this time.
The flock-like counterattack did not work under the fierce and powerful Red Army firepower, and after dropping pieces of corpses, a large number of loyal and righteous rescues could only be repeated old tricks, and everything that could be blocked in the streets and alleys was moved out, stacked into barricades, and every courtyard and house became a fortress.
Lu Jiande, who was closely behind the shock troops, was the commander of the artillery battalion, and now he could really command the two mortars around him, and his battalion was scattered in various attack directions in squad and platoon.
In front, a large compound sprayed with fire snakes and mixed with the smug screams of Qing soldiers stopped the footsteps of the shock troops. Seeing a row of grenades thrown in, still unable to suppress the arrogance of the Qing army, Liu Mingyuan rolled up his arms and sleeves, jumped to his feet and shouted, "Grenadiers, grenadiers?" Where the hell did I die? ”
"Brother, what are you shouting about?" Lu Jiande pulled Liu Mingyuan and pointed to the gunners who were opening the gun carriage behind him, "All pull down, look at us, I'm not better than yours with any grenadiers?" ”
"Good boy, my brother came too soon." Liu Mingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "Beat me, fight to death!" ”
"Clang, ......", the two mortars shook their bodies, and in the courtyard, plumes of smoke rose up, and bricks and tiles scattered with the limbs of the Qing army......
"Up!" Liu Mingyuan shouted, leaving Lu Jiande and running out without looking back.
In the other direction, a howitzer of the heavy artillery battalion of the Red Army was also dragged into battle. The straight muzzle of the cannon pointed at the piled barricade in front, and as the cannon rope pulled, the shells flew almost to the ground. The barricades are gone. As soon as the muzzle of the cannon turned, accompanied by a roar, a tall roof of Qing soldiers lying on its stomach was lifted into the sky again.
As the Red Army advanced, bundles of grenades, explosives, ferocious grenades and mortars turned the stubborn fortresses into rubble and ruins.
Li Xiucheng entered Chuzhou, and from time to time, a few shells fired blindly by the enemy would fall in front of and behind him.
"It's miserable!" Someone was muttering, "Fortunately, there aren't many people left in the city." ”
"This is war!" Li Xiucheng said, suddenly stopped, and watched several Red Army soldiers carry out a bloody wounded person from the rubble, he couldn't help but walk over, "Who is it?" ”
"It's a common man." A soldier who was busy bandaging the wounded sighed without raising his head, "We know that there are people in this courtyard, but we can't help it." No, the brothers rushed up, and the platoon commander left us here to search for and rescue those who might still be alive. ”
Li Xiucheng straightened his waist silently, and turned his head to look at the front of the fierce fight, "Say hello to their names, remember this family, and those who may be the same as them, for the sake of the Celestial Empire, they have suffered huge losses, and the Celestial Empire wants to repay them!" ”
"Commander, shouldn't you ask for the front, you can't fight like this. If this continues, the northern half of the city will be in ruins, and I don't know how many people will be innocent......"
"Fart!" Li Xiucheng, who has always been elegant, suddenly ripped off the military hat on his head, glared at his subordinates viciously, and pointed to the battlefield where the guns and cannons roared in front of him, "How many Qing demons are there?" How many people have they harmed? Don't you want to fight? It is to sweep them away at once in order to build our paradise, the paradise of the majority. Our soldiers who are here today, and the people who have suffered losses, are all for the sake of a better life for the majority. This is the need of war, although we do not want to see it. ”
