Huang Baitao's regiment finally fell into a tight encirclement in Nianzhuang. Around Nianzhuang, millions of troops from both sides fought fiercely. Several regiments of the Guomingtang army were anxious and moved closer to Nianzhuang at all costs, trying to rescue Huang Baitao's regiment. The two armies of the People's Liberation Army, Zhongye and Huaye, fought side by side, setting up a line of defense around the village. The Huaihai Plain was filled with artillery fire. An unprecedented decisive battle had begun.
The Guomindang army attacked and moved forward, wanting to move closer to Nianzhuang. The People's Liberation Army firmly held the line of defense and did not give in. After a few days of fierce battle, no one could do anything to the other party. The generals of both sides were not ordinary people. The generals of the Kuomingtang army thought that the frontal attack had little effect. It seemed that they should consider flanking, bypassing the line of defense of the People's Liberation Army, and stabbing the back of the People's Liberation Army to cut off the retreat of the People's Liberation Army. They would be attacked from both sides and collapse without fighting.
Coincidentally, the General of the People's Liberation Army was not idle either. A frontal attack would consume a lot of energy. He could not just stand here and take a beating. Offense had always been the most effective defense. You attack, I attack. Mobile warfare was Huaye's strength. If you attack from the front, I'll go around from the flank and take your rear so that you can look west at Xuzhou.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. At this time, the intelligence departments of both sides couldn't keep up. The generals of both sides were staring at the map. Hong Kong quickly made a decision. Su Yu, the acting commander of Huaye, and Lieutenant General Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the Second Corps of the Guomindang Army, were staring at the same spot on the map. Pan Tang.
This was a small town that couldn't be any smaller. It was located more than ten kilometers southeast of Xuzhou. At this moment, the small town was surrounded by chickens and dogs under the afterglow of the setting sun. Smoke curled up from the chimneys, and it was a peaceful scene. No one would have thought that a huge disaster was about to descend and the small town would soon be reduced to rubble.
On a cold night in the early winter of that year, on the road that passed through the town, a mighty army was marching from both the east and west. Both sides were lightly armed and were marching quietly. No one could imagine that two trains were about to collide here, causing an earth-shaking boom…
At 3 am, the two armies were caught off guard and suddenly collided. The vanguard of both sides opened fire almost at the same time. Machine guns and submachine guns exploded. The vanguard of the two armies quickly mixed together. The sound of close combat and the screams of the dying echoed. Grenades flew in the darkness, creating orange sparks. The sweet dream of the town was broken.
The commanders of both sides gave the order at the same time,""Don't get entangled, pass quickly." No one took the other party seriously. They all thought that the other party was a small army, but they realized that something was wrong after fighting. The two armies crossed each other and found that the other army had no head and no tail. It was actually two mighty armies. Instantly, the organizational structure of both sides was completely chaotic. The two armies quickly entangled together, and the more they entangled, the tighter they became. The more they fought, the fiercer the firepower became…
At daybreak, a reconnaissance plane of the Guomindang Army flew over. The pilot was shocked to find that the two armies on the ground had twisted into a huge vortex with the town as the center. At this time, it was impossible for anyone to withdraw from the battle. The generals on both sides understood that they had encountered a tough opponent, so they sent out reinforcements. The five whole armies of the second regiment of the Guomindang army pressed forward, and the five columns of Huaye also attacked head-on. Under the fierce artillery fire of both sides, bones flew everywhere, and the town was turned into ruins under the pincer attack of two huge waves.
Li Yunlong's second division was also involved in this huge whirlpool. When the battle started, Li Yunlong became excited. He threw off his hat and unbuttoned his clothes in the cold weather. Based on his experience as a veteran, he judged that the scale of this battle was not small. There were gunshots everywhere within a radius of dozens of miles. Judging from the intensity of the firepower and the various directions of the fierce battle, this battle was a rare one in the world. He estimated that it was a small one. He thought that there were tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides. In fact, both sides had invested hundreds of thousands of troops in this fierce battle.
In the beginning, Li Yunlong gave out the battle order in a systematic manner. A few regiments occupied the left wing, a few regiments occupied the right wing, and a few regiments were in reserve. After the order was given, he felt that something was wrong. The messenger who sent the order did not return at all. There was a fierce battle everywhere. The regiments of the Second Division were also in an unknown position. Other than the division guard company, there were the division staff, officers, and handymen. Even this non-combat unit was surrounded by the enemy's heavy troops. After the guard company spread out, Surrounded by the division's personnel in the center, resisting the enemies from all directions, Li Yunlong was caught off guard. He had fought for more than 20 years, but he had never seen such a chaotic battle. All the tactics and rules were gone. He picked up a carbine and entered the melee.
With the flash of the grenade explosion, he saw something. The soldiers of the Kuomingtang Army were wearing steel helmets, and the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were wearing cotton hats made of earth cloth. This was easy to handle. When he saw those wearing steel helmets, he lit them up. As he shot, he said to the reconnaissance staff officer beside him,"Go! Get me a captive who can breathe."
"Commander, what's the use of capturing prisoners?" asked the reconnaissance staff officer.”
"Just ask for the enemy's serial number.”
The reconnaissance staff officer was very efficient. He came back in a while and reported,"It's the enemy's 74th Division, 96th Division.”
Li Yunlong said," F * ck, I was wondering who it was. Isn't it the 74th Division that our Huaye took care of in Mengliang Gu? The serial number hasn't changed, but it's not the 74th Division anymore. This is a reconstructed, paper tiger. Pass on my order to collect the steel helmets on the enemy's bodies. It's best if everyone gets one."”
He ordered the firing to stop. Seeing that the Guomindang army was busy fighting, bullets rained down like water. He lay on the ground and said,"Don't shoot anyone. Get down."
After fighting for a long time, there was no movement from the other side. They became puzzled and the gunshots became sparse. " We are from the 74th Army of the National Army!" the reconnaissance staff officer shouted." Which division are you from?"”
"We're also from the 74th division. Which division are you from?”
"96th Division, we already cleared up the enemies here. Why are you firing at us?”Li Yun Long waved his hand, and the troops stood up and slowly moved forward.
The sun had already risen in the east, and they could vaguely see things. The soldiers of the 74th Division vaguely saw a group of soldiers wearing steel helmets walking towards them, but they did not suspect anything. They even called out apologetically,"I'm sorry, brothers. It's a misunderstanding.”
Li Yunlong was already close to the enemy. He opened fire without saying a word. The enemy fell down. The guards behind him rushed forward. The fierce firepower showed great power in close-range shooting. Wherever it swept, a large number of enemies were swept down. Li Yunlong would not let them go if he got a bargain. He would attack wherever the enemy was hiding.
On a slope not far from Li Yunlong was the headquarters of the 89th division of the Guomindang army. Major General Chu Yunfei was not much stronger than Li Yunlong. His troops were also scattered, leaving only a guard platoon and an " 82 " mortar.
Chu Yunfei also took out a Sten submachine gun and started fighting. He found that not far away, there was a small group of soldiers wearing the steel helmets of the Chinese National Army. They were rushing towards him. When he looked closely, the yellow military uniform of the other party revealed their identity. Damn it, it was the People's Liberation Army. He found that the fighting style of the People's Liberation Army was not ordinary. In front of them, there were automatic firearms such as machine guns and submachine guns. The people at the back just threw grenades over the heads of the people in front. This kind of orderly division of labor was very effective, and the Kuomingtang army suffered a lot.
Chu Yunfei had a pair of excellent eyes. When he saw Li Yunlong who was rushing at the front of the team, his heart skipped a beat. F * ck, enemies meet on a narrow road. They met this old acquaintance again. But this time, it was not good. With his platoon, he could not stop Li Yunlong. After all, Chu Yunfei was Chu Yunfei. Facing Li Yunlong's attack, he would not retreat. He calmly ordered the mortar gunner,""The cannon body is inclined at 85 degrees. Quick, hit the crowd in front.”The cannoneer quickly reloaded the shell, and with a " thud ", the shell flew out. Chu Yunfei looked coldly ahead and said in his heart," I'm sorry, Brother Yunlong."
At this time, Li Yunlong also noticed Chu Yunfei standing on the slope, but his eyesight was not as good as Chu Yunfei's. He only saw a high-ranking officer in a yellow woolen military uniform, but he did not recognize who it was. He ordered the machine gunner beside him,"Quick, hit that official." The machine gunner held the machine gun and fired a long shot. Chu Yunfei fell on his back as if he had been hit by a hammer. Two red flowers bloomed on his chest…
At the same time, the mortar shell that was fired from the almost vertical barrel landed beside Li Yunlong with a sharp whistling sound from an altitude of 50 to 60 meters. At the moment of explosion, he felt as if he had become a light feather rising up, and the endless darkness surged up like a tide...
