Hu Shoushan had some military talents, and he was probably just a top-class soldier. Letting him command a large-scale army operation was definitely a sign of high regard for him.
"The 2nd and 3rd brigades slowly cover their retreat from behind."
Hu Shoushan then ordered the troops on both wings to shrink and retreat. The attack was impossible. From the enemy's artillery fire, it was foreseeable that the first brigade had suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, a messenger who was blackened by artillery fire staggered over.
"Report, the two wings of our army are at war with the enemy, and we cannot withdraw from the battle in a short time!"
Hu Shoushan threw down the telescope angrily. After taking a few steps back and forth, he turned around and gave the order: "Order all ministries to use small groups to contain them, and the main force to retreat quickly. Don't be reluctant to fight!"
Woo!
boom! !
A 105mm howitzer exploded nearby, and the command room was instantly unsafe.
After Hu Shoushan gave the order, he quickly retreated with the people from the headquarters. On the way, he received a report from the front line that many tanks appeared in front of the first brigade, and the battle line had collapsed! ! !
Hu Shoushan was shocked. He had just given the order to retreat, but the forward position was violated?
boom! ! !
Suddenly, the retreating team became chaotic in an instant. Explosions broke out in the queue. Several bombers flew over Hu Shoushan's head. The First Division was worthy of being an elite. It quickly evaded to both sides, but suddenly Dozens of tanks drove out of the jungle on both sides of the room, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns fired rapidly. The orderly military appearance was instantly shattered. Hu Shoushan's troops were mostly mountain artillery. As for the anti-tank artillery, I have never seen it. , only one wave of firefights, the Guo army quickly retreated. The enemy's firepower was too fierce. A battalion of infantry followed closely behind the Type 29 tank. The firepower of the semi-automatic rifles directly suppressed it. The tank guns continued to fire, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Hu Shoushan was Just ran away.
The Guo army was unable to respond every day, and many people began to surrender. After a while, another battalion came to support, and the first division fled in embarrassment.
At about 5:30 pm on the 30th, the fighting was basically over. In fact, it was over a long time ago. The reason why we have been here until now is to persuade the soldiers hiding in the ravines to surrender?
Zhang Yunhan received the battle report immediately in Jincheng, annihilating more than 3,000 enemy troops and capturing 21,000 prisoners. Hu Shoushan escaped in disguise and could not find this person.
Zhang Yunhan was very happy. When he knew that Hu Shoushan was leading the troops, he knew that this battle would be won. System 4-star generals are only stronger than Hu Shoushan.
On the 2nd, Hu Shoushan led more than 8,000 remnants of the army to flee to Henan Province. Hua Mi was shocked. Hu Shoushan was his favorite disciple. He was loyal and capable of leading troops, but he actually returned in defeat.
"Principal! That Zhang Yunhan is no ordinary person. The ones who attacked our army were only two divisions, but they had hundreds of heavy artillery! There were a large number of tanks on the front line. The 1st brigade was attacked by saturated artillery fire and suffered heavy losses. The enemy also used Chariots attacked the position, infantry covered the attack, and the flesh and blood of the brothers could not stop it. On the way back, enemy planes kept dropping bombs. I, I am ashamed of the principal! Please punish the principal!!"
Hu Shoushan completely lost the face to meet the principal. Hua Mi knew that Hu Shoushan would not lie, and the remnant soldiers of the First Division were seriously injured. The soldiers had all seen airplanes and chariots, so they could not lie.
"I can't blame you for this. Go down and recuperate first. I will re-mobilize troops to replenish the First Division."
"Thank you principal for not killing me."
"Whatever you want to kill or not, this matter is not your fault. Go and heal your wounds."
Peanut was not only angry at this time, but also worried, because although Zhang Yunhan had few troops, he was well-equipped. Two divisions defeated his own division of 40,000 people and was completely defeated. He couldn't afford to provoke him. If he started a war with Zhang Yunhan again now, what would happen to him? If Feng, Yan, and Zhang unite, they may not be their opponents.
What's more, Li and Bai are in Guangxi Province and have deep roots in Guangdong Province. If they take advantage of the situation, their own backyard will be on fire.
On the 5th, the Jinling government switched on the power, and the road ahead of the First Division was blocked by landslides. The roads were blocked and transportation was inconvenient, making it difficult to provide disaster relief. However, the disaster was inevitable and the lives of the people were at stake. The Northwest Frontier Defense Supervisory Office was specially ordered to send people to rescue the victims and provide assistance.
Zhang Yunhan looked at the newspaper and smiled disdainfully. This was because he did not dare to confront him head-on and was afraid of losing face, so he made excuses for himself.
Yan Baichuan also received news from his own channels that the Northwest Army and the Guo Army exchanged fire in Shangluo. The Northwest Army not only had hundreds of heavy artillery pieces, but also tanks. Bullets rained down on them. Peanut's first division was beaten and fled in embarrassment. It's a corpse.
Yan Baichuan smacked his lips, "Hey guys, this is 40,000 people. According to the intelligence, the Northwest Army dispatched two divisions with more than 20,000 people to chase the first division."
The nearby residents heard the continuous thunder in broad daylight and thought that the Dragon King was angry and there was only thunder but no rain.
The soldiers on the front line reported back that during the confrontation with the Northwest Army, the Northwest Army fired live ammunition every day. Their style was extremely rigorous and did not disturb the people. Trucks were pouring into the enemy camp one after another, and there were not many tongues sent by them. Came back alive.
Zhang Yunhan took over Shaanxi Province at this time, and the first thing he did was to provide disaster relief. Truck after truck of grain was carried from Qinghai and Gansu provinces towards Shaanxi Province. Thanks to Zhang Yunhan's far-sighted driving school, people who can drive in the northwest are now rushing to Not only the army is recruiting, but also factories, enterprises, and chambers of commerce are rushing to get them. With the rapid economic development, if you want to make money quickly and sell things, you have to rely on truck freight.
Now I heard that the government is providing disaster relief to Shaanxi Province. Not only the government's own logistics is involved, but the private sector is also involved. Of course, almost no one dares to take action on the government's disaster relief food. The Intelligence Bureau is not bragging. A large number of businessmen have been detained recently. I heard It was said that they were sent to the Western Regions to build roads. Those who were dragged to build roads basically had no chance of survival.
People at the police station said that they seemed to be spies from other countries. Several guns and mortars were found, and they were plotting to assassinate the commander-in-chief.
After the 1st Army entered Shaanxi Province, Zhang Yunhan arranged for two newly formed brigades to enter Shaanxi Province to suppress bandits and provide disaster relief, maintain public security, and mobilize police officers from various places to enter Shaanxi Province, not to mention medical and health personnel.
After a series of measures were issued, Zhang Yunhan issued an order to recruit troops.
The 6 second-line brigades in the Western Region have been reorganized into the 4th Army. The army commander Chen Zhu, ★★★★, has been reorganized into 3 infantry divisions, and the artillery is being reorganized.
Two brigades plus 3,000 people were transferred back, a total of more than 19,000 people, and they were reorganized into the newly formed second-line troops, a total of 10 brigades, 80,000 people!
The entire Northwest Army became one of the top warlords in the country in one fell swoop! There are more than 200,000 people in the army, with elite weapons, excellent work style, and well-trained training. If it weren't for the fact that there is no budget to build more territory, Zhang Yunhan would have wanted to capture Suiyuan, so that the war against Japan can be one step closer.
