At this moment, the 1,000 brothers of the New Fourth Army under Lao Xu were like hungry tigers descending the mountain, under the loud trumpet of charge, they all shouted and rushed towards the position of the recalcitrant corps headquarters, and the Maksin heavy machine gun on the fortifications of the recalcitrant corps headquarters on the opposite side opened fire, and a string of tongues of fire rushed towards the brothers like a poisonous snake with a bloody mouth, and immediately several brothers of the New Fourth Army in front of them were shot and fell to the ground, but these could not resist the brothers who rushed to the position in front of them, and soon, The fire of these Maxine heavy machine guns on the recalcitrant position was covered by a mortar shell under Lao Xu, and the recalcitrant soldiers who were hiding in the fortifications and desperately shooting at the brothers who rushed over were blown out of the fortifications by the shells and guns, and the gun wreckage was scattered all over the ground, and the recalcitrant soldiers who were not killed by the shells saw that the situation was not right, so they turned around and withdrew towards the second fortification behind.
Where to run Lao Xu saw that the Kuomintang recalcitrant soldiers in the front fortifications turned around and were about to run to the back, so he shouted to his brothers: "Don't let these miscellaneous escapes, let me destroy them all" More than 1,000 men and horses of Lao Xu have rushed into the first fortification, and the brothers have raised their knives and fallen with knives, chopping melons and chopping vegetables to wipe out the stubborn soldiers in the fortifications who are trying to resist desperately, and there is no one left, seeing that the first position was broken through by the New Fourth Army, and the soldiers of the New Fourth Army who were attacking in the fortifications were all solved, and the recalcitrant officers in the regimental headquarters in the back trembled, and hurriedly took a few personal guards to flee in the direction of Pangjia Village.
Just now, their regiment commander ordered the blocker to lurk in that wood, but he didn't expect to hit a cadre of the New Fourth Army on the opposite side, and provoked the onslaught of so many New Fourth Army troops now Before these recalcitrant officers threw off their legs and ran away, several soldiers outside ran in and reported: "Report to the chief, it's not good, there are large forces of the New Fourth Army attacking the regiment headquarters all around, and the number is estimated to be as many as four or five thousand, and the retreat outside has been cut off by them, and we can't run out this time."
When those recalcitrant officers heard this, their hearts trembled, but they still didn't believe that the New Fourth Army attacking from the opposite side could attack here so quickly, although their regiment commander was blown up by a mountain artillery shell just now, but at that time, the regiment commander was lucky, and it just happened to be next to the bomb, they still wanted to try again, so they hurriedly said to those subordinates: "In this case, then we order everyone to disperse and break through and flee for their lives, here is only twenty miles away from Pangjia Village, and there are our stations on all sides, We don't believe what these dirt buns can do to us."
At the moment when this group of recalcitrant officers was about to throw off their legs and flee in the direction of Pangjia Village, a group of Lao Xu and their subordinates suddenly rushed in from outside, only to see them rushing into the house, without saying a word, they shot fiercely at these stunned and overwhelmed recalcitrant officers inside, and on the spot they all broke these miscellaneous people who tried to escape into a hornet's nest, so that from Lao Xu and their fierce attack on the recalcitrant army headquarters, to now all surround and occupy this recalcitrant army headquarters, it took less than 20 minutes in total, which can be described as fast and clean.
Soon, Xiao Tianming from several other directions also attacked here, Lao Xu hurriedly asked his brothers to clean up the battlefield, and notified another team that was breaking through, so that they could quickly assemble towards this gap, and take advantage of the fact that the recalcitrant army that had been hit had not yet begun to react, and took the brothers on the western front to highlight the encirclement of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army, and rushed to the direction of Lijiawan to round with Zhou Wu's large army.
As soon as the brothers on the right wing received Lao Xu's order, they hurried over, and the two teams were in one place again, and took advantage of the great opportunity that the gap here had not been completely discovered by the stubborn army, and took the opportunity to quickly highlight the encirclement carefully arranged by the Kuomintang recalcitrant army, and met Xiao Zheng, the head of the regiment who came to reinforce Ding Ning, and the brothers on both sides hugged each other, glad that they were able to break out of the encirclement and turn with the brother troops, Lao Xu hurriedly asked Xiao Zheng how Ding Ning's injury was, When Xiao Zheng heard that the chief of staff was injured, he was also in a hurry, and said to Lao Xu: "Deputy brigade commander, I don't know how the chief of staff's injury is, let's go back quickly and see the situation of the 1st chief of staff."
Xiao Zheng and their three regiments rushed here after receiving Zhou Wu's order for them to quickly reinforce Ding Ning's position on the Western Front, and naturally they couldn't meet the brothers who hurried to the rear with the injured Ding Ning on the way, so Xiao Zheng heard that Ding Ning was injured, and he was very anxious and wanted to hurry back to see the situation.
After all, Lao Xu's mind was still a little calm, and when he heard that Xiao Zheng and they were going to rush back, he hurriedly stopped: "Xiao Zheng, this won't work, let's go back like this, what should we do with those Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who caught up behind, I think so, we still set up a defensive blocking position here on the spot, first block those Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who caught up, and then as for the injury of Chief of Staff Ding Ning, we can send scouts to Lijiawan to understand, what do you think" Although Lao Xu is one level higher than Xiao Zheng in terms of position, Xiao Zheng is the head of the main regiment under the independent brigade, a fierce general who stands alone on one side, so Lao Xu still said to Xiao Zheng in a consultative tone.
As soon as Xiao Zheng heard this, Deputy Brigade Commander Lao Xu was reasonable, now that the battle is not over, we must first block these stubborn Kuomintang troops on the Western Front who have caught up, otherwise, those miscellaneous people will desperately chase after them all the way, and the back road of our Jiangbei New Fourth Army will not be even more unsafe Xiao Zheng immediately ordered the third regiment to arrange two fortifications along the terrain here, at this time, the brothers of the other two brigades of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army also arrived, and after they joined Lao Xu, they heard that Ding Ning, the chief of staff of the independent brigade and the right-hand man of Zhou Wu, the commander-in-chief of the battle, was seriously injured by the sneak attack of the Kuomintang recalcitrant blockers, and they also felt very angry, and they expressed that their teams were willing to rush forward to eliminate those miscellaneous and stubborn troops who caught up on the opposite side.
Lao Xu temporarily replaced Ding Ning's position as commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and arranged the two brigades of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army on the left and right flanks of the front of Xiao Zheng's Third Regiment.
If we go all out to counterattack these Kuomintang recalcitrant troops, by that time, not only will the New Fourth Army have 40,000 or 50,000 troops, but we will also be able to get the help of the 79th Army, the old army commander As a result, Xiao Zheng's three regiments and the two brigades of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army quickly organized three defensive lines in the same place, plus more than 10,000 horses and horses that Lao Xu and they withdrew, the number of the New Fourth Army in front of the defensive position at this moment has reached more than 30,000, far more than the Kuomintang recalcitrant army teams that caught up behind, these recalcitrant army commanders who chased over saw that the situation in front had changed, and those New Fourth Army troops in Pangjia Village had broken through the encirclement and built three defensive positions here, if they wanted to break through these three defensive positions, The Kuomintang recalcitrant army must concentrate more than one army of troops before it can be sure, otherwise it can only retreat, otherwise when Zhou Wu in the direction of Lijiawan finishes dealing with the Yamada brigade and turns around, it will not be so easy for these recalcitrant troops to retreat in their entirety.
This commander of the recalcitrant army thought twice about it, believing that it was no longer interesting to fight with the New Fourth Army, which had a numerical superiority on the opposite side, and that he might have to fall into the encirclement of the New Fourth Army and lose his troops; this front-line commander hurriedly used the radio to ask the Sixth Theater Command in Suxian for instructions on what to do, and the Sixth Theater was also in a state of anxiety at the moment, and Chairman Chiang of Chongqing repeatedly sent telegrams to reprimand the Sixth Theater Command, and dared to brazenly collude with the Japanese in Nanjing, and the 79th Army had already poked this matter out.
In order for Chairman Chiang to step down for a while, he had to strictly order Commander Gu of the Sixth Theater to immediately withdraw the recalcitrant Kuomintang troops besieging the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei, and the 79th Army to withdraw to its original position and garrison it, and not to move in disorder without a transfer order from the Sixth Theater.
After receiving the order from the Sixth War Zone to their retreat, the commander of this recalcitrant army immediately issued an order to retreat to Chaosu County, and Lao Xu in the front-line fortifications saw that a large number of Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who were chasing from the opposite side had withdrawn, so they felt very strange, and hurriedly radioed Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, the Kuomintang recalcitrant army on the opposite side has begun to evacuate, and we can't catch up."
Zhou Wu received Lao Xu's telegram and immediately telegraphed back with an order: "There is no need to pursue, immediately turn to the south, insert into the flank of the Yamada Brigade in the south, and block the inevitable retreat of the Yamada Brigade with Fat Man and Huang Shuisheng."
After Zhou Wu received the news that the Kuomintang recalcitrant army had retreated on all fronts, he thought that the pressure on the western front had disappeared, and the 79th Army of the old army commander was in the north, so he didn't have to worry, so he thought that the fighters of the Yamada Brigade in the south had appeared, so he immediately ordered Lao Xu to take the position of Ding Ning, who was seriously wounded, and take these New Fourth Army troops on the Western Front to turn to the south, and slammed into the flank of the Yamada Brigade, blocking their way to escape, and waiting for the New Fourth Army led by Zhou Wu to turn around from Lijiawan.
Together with the fat man and Huang Shuisheng who were ambushed south of Lijiawan, it is best to flank the Yamada brigade, and it is best to be able to completely annihilate it, if it is not possible to achieve total annihilation, then we should concentrate on encircling the Yamada brigade to encircle and annihilate it, and force Yamada Zhiqu to withdraw to the south, so as to smash the encirclement and suppression of the Jiangbei base area by the devil's army in one fell swoop.
At the end of the message, Lao Xu did not forget to ask Zhou Wu what Ding Ning's injuries were, Zhou Wu said that Ding Ning was still in the health department, and he didn't know what was going on t1706231537:
