Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The artillery of the Anwu Army opened fire again. This time, according to the observations of the artillery observers, the position of the artillery of the army was exactly the same as the position of the artillery positions of the Anwu Army detected by Cai Ming and others.

Liu Xuyi, the head of the 401 regiment, soon got the report from the artillery. At this moment, he had been awake all night and his eyes were red. He grabbed the phone of the field artillery and said, "Notify the artillery to strike the enemy's artillery positions without firepower." waited..."

Three minutes later, the Anwu Army's mountain artillery position, which was almost 3 miles away from the front line, encountered covering shelling.Coincidentally, at this time on the Anwu Army's side, a batch of artillery shells were sent up, and the artillerymen of the Anwu Army were carrying the shells to the artillery position shirtless to prepare for the next round of strikes.As a result, all these shells were killed, which directly upgraded the strike force of the youth army to the level of destruction.

Artillery has always been a technical arm. In other words, an artillery who can only fire shells is definitely not a qualified artillery.If the Anwu Army's artillery were a little more professional, the most correct thing for them to do after the previous shelling was not to wait for the shells, but to quickly pack up and move their positions to prepare for the next launch.This is the most basic requirement among the artillerymen of the Youth Army, but it is a pity that the artillerymen of the Anwu Army are such a half-baked.

Ni Min's headquarters was less than 50 meters away from the artillery position. As a result of the explosion, the headquarters directly became ruins.And Ni Min was lucky to escape this catastrophe because he was supervising the battle on the front line.

After learning the report that the cannons on his side were completely destroyed, Ni Min was stunned.The youth army is so fierce?It seems that I overestimated myself before and underestimated the youth army.Thinking about the predicament in front of him again, the sky is already bright, but his plan to drive the youth army down the river has not yet been realized.The Death Squad was already the strongest assault force in his hands, and they couldn't succeed, let alone other teams.Ni Min began to ask herself, should she continue to fight here?

He thought for a while, and only said one sentence: "You continue to attack, the headquarters is gone, I will personally go to the back and pull up the five reserve battalions for you, and we will take down this bird feather gray position with all our strength. Kill those Hunan boys."

The officers were convinced of this, and after nodding, they left the organized troops to continue the attack.

What they didn't see was that as soon as Ni Min came out, he grabbed the rein from the guard, got on his horse and galloped away.This is not going to call in reinforcements, it's completely in the rhythm of running.

Ni Min deserves to be a ruthless person. In the end, the four battalions of the Anwu Army were cut off by his gecko.He himself led five battalions of the Anwu army to flee towards Anqing with all his strength. It should be said that although this approach was a bit vicious, it was not wrong.After all, Anqing also needs military guards. If you can't take advantage of the front line, then it is reasonable to retreat to defend the city.But would Bai Chongxi let Ni Min run away?Bai Chongxi was not so happy when he wanted to leave after taking advantage.

What Ni Min didn't know was that when they launched the first wave of offensive, Bai Chongxi sent out a cavalry team of 1000 under his command. The captain of this cavalry brigade was called He Wenchang.

Taking advantage of the fact that both sides focused their operations on the front line, He Wenchang led the cavalry to cross the Mihe River, and then fiercely charged into the rear of the Anwu army.Along the way, some troops of the Anwu Army also discovered the existence of this cavalry, but they did not have the equipment and courage to fight against this cavalry, so they could only kill the enemy with their eyes, watching He Wenchang and them go away.Of course, they also dutifully sent messengers to report to the headquarters, but before the headquarters could tell Ni Min, they finished with the artillery of the Anwu Army, and the transmission of the news was naturally interrupted here.

So Ni Min's eyes were really completely blind at this moment, and the five battalions of the Anwu Army rushed frantically towards Anqing along the post road built in the former Qing Dynasty, and it was still a hundred miles away.Although Ni Min didn't have any auxiliary staff, he figured out that if the troops he left behind could last a little longer, then he could go to Anqing without any problems before the youth army reacted.After arriving in Anqing, I just rely on the city to guard and wait for reinforcements. Thinking about the battle here, I am very aggrieved. It is obvious that I have a better skill, and I have counted on the youth army, and even drove the youth army away. When he got to the river, he saw that he was about to rush down the river to feed the bastard.But I didn't expect the opponent's artillery to be so powerful, and they immediately wiped out the cannons on their side.Ni Min didn't intend to fight recklessly, so he naturally wanted to run away when things went wrong.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the team in front became chaotic, and the ground trembled.I don't know who shouted: "Cavalry, the cavalry of the youth army has come."

Ni Min was immediately confused. How could there be cavalry from the Youth Army here? Where did they come from?It was transported by the Yangtze River. Doesn’t it mean that the navy gang has blocked the river?how come?

Ni Min is about to make a foolish move again. If he observes carefully, he will find that the so-called cavalry is less than 1000 people.If you organize yourself, you can completely defeat the opponent.But due to the annihilation of the artillery and the tragedy that happened at the headquarters, Ni Min no longer had the confidence to wrestle with the youth army as before.He played gecko tail docking again, lost the vanguard battalion, and took the four battalions back to their original positions.As a result, He Wenchang not only easily wiped out more than 1000 Anwu troops, but also blocked the Anwu army's retreat.

Under Ni Min's inexplicable command, the morale of the entire Anwu army was completely gone, and more than half of the luggage was lost in this round. The officers discussed in private what to do?

Beginning in the afternoon of March 3, the fighting between the two sides ended, because the Anwu Army did not attack the positions guarded by Liu Xuyi and Lin Hu.Ni Min held an emergency military affairs meeting, planning to disperse and break through.

But at this time, the eight surviving battalion management leaders all knew what had happened, and they didn't really sell this handsome brother any more.No one can come up with a good solution after pulling the skin all night.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on March 14, Bai Chongxi received the news sent by He Wenchang's desperate people, and learned that the frontal enemy had already retreated, so he decisively ordered a general attack across the board.

Nearly [-] cannons bombarded the Anwu Army's positions frantically, and the infantry of the four regiments then launched a general attack on the Anwu Army through the Mihe River.Crowds of blue-gray military uniforms appeared on the north bank of the Mi River and flocked to the positions of the Anwu Army.

Now not only Ni Min, but also the leaders below knew that he would not be able to run away, and immediately organized the battalions to persevere to the end.The two sides came and went, fighting repeatedly on a front that was more than 3 miles long.At this time, all the things that the youth army trained strictly on weekdays came out. When dealing with the firepower of the Anwu army, there was a special cover for the firepower. The assault unit in a group of three crawled forward to within 50 meters, and then the grenade flew over. Hit a quasi.The casualties of the Anwu Army have risen sharply, and the youth army has a firm will to fight, and its tactical actions are swift. The alternating cooperation between various combat units is very reasonable.Of course, An Wujun was too talented. He forgot what he should do when he saw something new. As a result, he lost three lines of defense in a row in less than an hour.The morale that was already low was completely gone now, and under the leadership of the officers, there were more scenes of the establishment surrendering.

Ni Min hid in his temporary command post in the small town. Due to his repeated tricks yesterday, the troops below had actually listened to the instructions and did not listen to the announcement. The resistance in front of him was just a spontaneous behavior of each battalion.By 50 o'clock in the morning, the first part of the Youth Army was only [-] meters away from the headquarters.The surviving death squads gritted their teeth and greeted Ni Min because of Ni Min's usual generous treatment. The two sides stood next to the gatehouse in the narrow street of the town, and started shooting at each other against the wall.The death squad, which was at a disadvantage in numbers, was quickly exhausted. Ni Min put down his binoculars, sighed helplessly, and said to the two trusted battalion leaders who were still with him: "Take people to surrender. We are not human opponents."

The two leaders immediately saluted Ni Min and turned to leave.Not far away, a gunshot was heard in the headquarters, and Ni Min committed suicide.

At 1916 o'clock in the morning on March 3, the fifth year of the Republic of China (14), with the gunshot of Ni Min's suicide, the last two battalions of the Anwu Army guarding the Mihe River surrendered to the Youth Army and accepted the reorganization , So far, the three-day Mihe battle has come to an end.

Due to the resolute determination of the Anwu Army in this battle, the casualties of the Youth Army set a new record.

This was reflected in the combat report submitted by the Left Route Army Command to the Southeast Front Army Command afterwards: "Jun Jian, Commander Li of the Front Army, and a total of 3 troops from the Seventh Division of the Fourth Tiger Division of the Commander of the Front Army were dispatched on March 5479. The Japanese fought fiercely with the enemy's Anwu Army on the front line of the Mihe River. After three days of fierce fighting, the enemy army was completely wiped out, killing a total of 81 people, including one lieutenant general; 3307 people were captured, including three major generals. Eight thousand rifles of various types were seized There are more than 1873 light and heavy machine guns, several bullets, and various supplies. Our army has a total of 3 casualties, of which 6 were killed, including [-] battalion-level officers and [-] battalion officers. This is a great victory.”

However, a small episode happened after the war. After opening the gate of Anqing, the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army, Bai Chongxi, who was in an extremely happy mood, went to inspect the position in person.In the end, Wang Kewen, deputy commander of the 401st Infantry Regiment and commander of the first battalion, knocked him down with an old punch. The scene was chaotic at that time, and Bai Chongxi suffered countless kicks in the chaos.But Bai Chongxi's guards did not dare to shoot, they chose to knock Wang Kewen to the ground with their bare hands, and then Bai Chongxi became angry, and directly ordered Wang Kewen to be arrested, and then left.After the troops captured Nanjing, Bai Chongxi planned to execute Wang Kewen on the grounds of disobedience on the battlefield.In the end, I don't know who leaked the news. Marshal Wang Zhenyu actually summoned Wang Kewen by name in person, and Bai Chongxi had to let him go. This is another story. . .
