Years of the Republic of China 1913

Perhaps it was the suppression of our own artillery that had an effect, or perhaps it was due to other reasons. The Red Army’s cannons disappeared without firing a few shots. The battlefield was full of Chinese artillery fire, and shells flew towards the Red Army one after another. In the positions and rear artillery positions, the flames and smoke from the explosion made the Red Army unable to even raise their heads.

But at this time, Bai Chongxi did not show the slightest bit of joy. On the contrary, he frowned and sent the guards around him to the front to inquire about the situation of the troops.Because he knows that although the cannons of the Red Army are not as powerful and long-lasting as his own, the shelling just now may have caused a lot of losses to the attacking troops, and now he only hopes that the troops in front will retreat in time without causing too many casualties .

"Reporter seat! The chief of staff is back!"

While Bai Chongxi was waiting anxiously, Zhang Zhizhong finally came back, and Bai Chongxi hurried out of the bunker, walking northward in three steps in two.

After walking for about ten meters, turning a traffic road, I saw Zhang Zhizhong and several officers rushing over at a glance.

"Wen Bai, how are you? Where is the injury? Health worker! Health worker!"

Seeing Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi felt nervous immediately. Zhang Zhizhong's face was smoky, and his straight military uniform turned out to be tattered, with bloodstains on his body. .Bai Chongxi hurried forward and grabbed Zhang Zhizhong's arm, then turned around and shouted behind him.

"It's okay, it's just a sprained ankle..." Zhang Zhizhong replied calmly.

"Then this blood...?"

"It was the guard who protected me on the way to retreat, but unfortunately he died..."

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine, let's go back and talk about it first." Bai Chongxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhang Zhizhong didn't hurt him, he was relieved.He personally helped Zhang Zhizhong back to the bunker.After pouring a glass of water for Zhang Zhizhong to drink, Bai Chongxi couldn't wait to ask about the situation of the attacking troops.

"Fortunately, Jiansheng's order was quick, and most of our troops were safely withdrawn, but a part of the rear was damaged. About one battalion of infantry and six tanks failed to retreat smoothly. I'm afraid it's too bad." Zhang Zhizhong was relieved. Zhong replied sadly.According to his description, when he arrived at the front line, the armored troops were covering the retreat of the infantry, but it would take time to switch from attack to retreat, not to mention that on the opposite Red Army position, the opponent went crazy and organized a desperate small unit fight back.In order to ensure a smooth retreat, the front-line commander used a tank company and a battalion to block the Red Army's counterattack. A few minutes after the order was issued, just as his troops were entangled with the Red Army's counterattack troops, they retreated slowly under the cover of tank fire. Suddenly, the cannon on the opposite side roared.All of a sudden, the troops of both sides were enveloped in it.

"You mean that Lao Maozi fired the cannon when our retreating troops were entangled with the enemy?" Bai Chongxi asked in astonishment.

"That's right. At that time, about one regiment of the Soviet Red Army went into the counterattack. Otherwise, we wouldn't have left a battalion and a tank in a row. The shelling came very suddenly, and the shells came when the two sides were fighting fiercely. I The guards who died at this time were also sacrificed at this time, if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I would have confessed today." Zhang Zhizhong replied with lingering fear, his expression was extremely angry and regretful.

Bai Chongxi stood up immediately, and walked around the room without saying a word.This moment.He felt unprecedented pressure since the start of the war, and this time the enemy facing him was different from before.Not only did it make targeted deployments of the offensive tactics of the Chinese National Defense Forces, but it also resorted to the trick of fighting for consumption, and actually used the method of doubling to deal with this war.

"Fulongzhi, it's that bastard again!"

Bai Chongxi gritted his teeth and cursed, before on the Siberian battlefield, Bai Chongxi had fought against Frunze.This formidable opponent will do anything to win.At the beginning, when he practiced on the battlefield, he regarded human life as nothing, and made the Far East government army complain. If it weren't for the Chinese army's assistance in defense later.I'm afraid that the front line has already been broken by Frunze.

But now, Frunze, who had fled all the way to Serov, resorted to this trick again.His attempt is obvious, which is to use consumption for consumption, use his own troops to fight the Chinese National Defense Forces, and achieve the goal of causing the Chinese National Defense Forces to lose in battle regardless of everything.

We must know that the assembled troops of both sides in the Serov area are about 75, and the total combat troops have reached 150 million.Compared with the Soviet cannon fodder troops, the Chinese Communist Regiment is the elite of the National Defense Forces. If it suffers a lot of losses in the Serov area, the Chinese side of the entire war against the Soviet Union is equivalent to winning a battle, but losing the entire war.

On the other hand, the Soviets traded human lives for human lives, and only lost some cannon fodder troops. What's more, even if all the 75 troops in Serov have fought?As long as the ratio of two to one, or even three to one, four to one can bring heavy losses to the Chinese Communist Party, it will be worth it to Frunze.

"Order all the troops to retreat 3 kilometers and suspend the attack. Wen Bai, I will leave the matter here to you first. I have to go to the rear headquarters immediately."

Bai Chongxi roughly understood Frunze's tactical thinking, and based on the current situation, I am afraid that this battle cannot be fought like before.He must get in touch with the headquarters as soon as possible to adjust the previous tactics, otherwise once he suffers a huge loss in Serov, let alone hit Moscow, it will lead to the failure of the entire war.

"That's fine, but the infantry division...?"

"I'll coordinate it myself, and then go back to the headquarters with the Jingfu brothers."

After speaking, Bai Chongxi went to prepare. Half an hour later, he rushed to the infantry division to find Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui. When he arrived at Liu Zhi's division headquarters, an angry Liu Zhi was yelling at his subordinates.It was Liu Zhi's troops who were in charge of the infantry attack today. The Chinese Army Regiment, which has been attacking smoothly, lost a battalion of infantry in just over an hour of fighting. This is an unprecedented situation since the war began. Liu Zhi was furious, and scolded the commander who was in charge of the offensive mission. If Xiong Shihui hadn't persuaded him from the side, Liu Zhi would almost have drawn his gun.

"It's not their fault, it's our fault." Amidst the scolding, Bai Chongxi entered the door and said.

"Brother Jiansheng. Why are you here?" Both Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui were taken aback.

"Can I still sit still with the attack like this?" Bai Chongxi said with a wry smile: "Our opponent is not simple, and it is not so easy to deal with. Tell you two, I have temporarily stopped the full-scale attack, and the troops retreated. Rest for 3 kilometers, and I plan to invite the two of you to go to the headquarters as soon as possible with me."

"What! What did you say? Retreat?" Liu Zhi jumped up as soon as he heard it, and shouted loudly: "It is a fact that the attack was frustrated. But how can there be undead in a war? That's right, my troops were hit by the first attack. It's not a small loss, but the opponent's loss is far greater than ours. In my opinion, we should organize another attack as soon as possible, directly suppress the opponent with artillery fire and aircraft, and take the position in one go. If you fail once, you can do it twice. Three times, I don't believe it, with the combat effectiveness of our National Defense Forces, will we not be able to take down Serov on the opposite side?"

"Wars are not fought like this! If you win the battle by brute force alone, you will lose the whole war!" Bai Chongxi's face sank all of a sudden.Criticize Liu Zhi unceremoniously.

"What a joke! You can't win a war by shaking a goose feather fan like someone else? Don't think that you are great after fighting a few battles in the Far East. I also crawled out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood!" Ben was in a bad mood. Good Liu Zhi exploded when he heard this, what do you mean Bai Chongxi?Are you the only one who knows how to fight?Regardless of qualifications or leading troops, I am not bad at all. When you fought against the Revolutionary Party and the Braided Army in Nanjing, you Xiaobai was still in school, and you came out to teach me a lesson?Yes, you are now the commander of the armored division, half a rank higher than the infantry division in this respect.But in terms of qualifications and military ranks, no one is inferior to anyone else, so I want to teach Lao Tzu a lesson.Let's wait until you become commander-in-chief.

Bai Chongxi has a nickname called Xiao Zhuge, isn't Zhuge Liang on the stage just a fan of goose feathers?Liu Zhi was obviously ridiculing Bai Chongxi's boastful talk, and was scared out of his wits whenever there was a setback.

"Brother Jing Fu! Do you know who Frunze is on the opposite side? What tactics is he best at? What is he planning now? If you know this and understand the real reason why the attack was frustrated just now, I'm afraid you I won't say these things anymore!" Bai Chongxi asked while suppressing his anger, Liu Zhi's face was full of indifference.Rolling his eyes and nostrils, he hummed: "So what if you know? So what if you don't know? I don't have anything to do with fighting all the way from Mongolia. Why? Only your armored forces can fight? Don't forget that without our infantry division Your armor is a pile of scrap."

"you……!"

"Don't quarrel! Don't quarrel!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiong Shihui hurriedly persuaded from the side: "I said Jingfu, can you say a few words less? It is a fact that the troops were frustrated and lost some. Let the enemy go, why are you yelling at your brother? Besides, as far as I know, brother Jiansheng’s tank troops have suffered a lot in covering your infantry retreat, so it’s okay if you don’t take favors from others, is this too much?”

As he said that, Xiong Shihui persuaded Bai Chongxi: "Brother Jiansheng, Jingfu is in a bad mood today. Your lord should be considerate of him. After all, since the war started, so much has been lost in such a short period of time. It doesn't matter to anyone. It’s uncomfortable, you must know that the attacking regiment was trained by Fu himself, and he has deep feelings for those soldiers, all of a sudden... hey..."

Bai Chongxi's expression gradually eased. Indeed, as Xiong Shihui said, the setback in today's attack was not only the loss of the infantry, but even his tank troops suffered a lot.Everyone was in a bad mood, and it was understandable to speak with anger. Thinking of this, Xiong Shihui first slowed down his tone and made self-criticism.

Liu Zhi is a good donkey, Bai Chongxi apologized to him first, he felt a little embarrassed at this time, and quickly apologized, and the atmosphere in the room immediately eased down.

"By the way, Brother Jiansheng, just now you said that the commander on the opposite side, what is going on with tactics? And why are you coming to find us now to go to the headquarters?" Xiong Shihui was relieved to see everyone calm down, and greeted the two The man sat down and asked curiously.

Seeing Xiong Shihui asking himself, and Liu Zhi on the side also casting his eyes on him, Bai Chongxi immediately introduced to them the situation of Fu Longzhi, and focused on what Fu Longzhi did on the Siberian battlefield , and the reaction made when attacking today.It is precisely because of these that Bai Chongxi quickly understood Frunze's combat thinking, quickly stopped the attack and asked the troops to retreat temporarily, and at the same time rushed to the infantry division to discuss with Liu and Xiong, and then went to the commander together Ministry report.

After listening to Bai Chongxi's words, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui looked at each other in blank dismay. They never imagined that there would be such a commander in this world.You must know that in the previous civil wars in the country, the warlord troops also had settings such as supervising teams to ensure that the troops worked hard for themselves.But this method has a limit, and the officials will never really wipe out the troops.But to Frunze, the army is just a number in his hands, and he will use any means to achieve his goal.If the two sides really fight for consumption, as Bai Chongxi said, even if five Chinese are exchanged for one Red Army, the Chinese Army will be severely damaged after this battle, and will no longer be able to attack Moscow.
