Chapter 72 The Battle of Huaihe
At this time, the commander of the 130,000 siege troops of the two major provinces of the Yuan Dynasty was the commander of the Henan Political Consultative General Jia Dunxi. Two years ago, in 1346 AD, he performed well in Yunnan when he attacked a chieftain, and quickly flattened the southwest with outstanding achievements. Now the Republic has blatantly rebelled, and the Yuan Dynasty abandoned the original idea of throwing rats and being afraid of weapons. He decided to destroy Jiangnan and make the rebel Cheng Pan pay the price. At this time, the vanguard of the Yuan army had already confronted the Gonghe cavalry on the north bank of the Huai River.
Compared with the Yuan Dynasty's full efforts, the Communist Party of China was also fully prepared. Cheng Pan's generals, He Cheng, He Feng, Zhu Zichou, and other series of officers with rich war experience gathered together at the same time. After discussion, these officers unanimously decided that they would definitely eliminate the opponent's main force in a battle, but there was no idiot enemy in the world that would allow you to encircle and annihilate. For the sake of the present, the only way is to send a large number of cavalry to carry out harassment operations.
Now Huaibei has started a small war of riding horses and shooting. At night, Jia Dunxi looked at the cavalry's damage with anxiety in the Yuan army camp. He lost 2,000 cavalry at the distance close to the Huaihe River. The opponent's damage was very low, as for how low. The Jia Division can infer from the performance of his own troops that he did not send any heads. As for the lies of his subordinates' "struggle to break through the siege and kill hundreds of enemies, and the number of enemies killed in chaos," Jia Division automatically filtered. Through the actual question of the combat knights who came back, he learned that the enemy was using a powerful firearm similar to a firearm that could be operated by one person.
Because he did not understand the enemy situation, the General Jia general was stationed in Yingshang County, the north bank of the Huaihe River. The Gonghe Army was unexpectedly surprised by this situation. The Gonghe Army wanted to finish the battle quickly, so he stopped here and stopped. Compared with the backward supply of the Yuan Dynasty, which maintained a huge consumption of 100,000 people, the Gonghe Army could not afford it. The main army was dragged in this place for a long time for logistics supplies. Not to mention the Yuan army in Jiangxi, Hunan and Sichuan took action, the follow-up operations of the entire Gonghe Army would be seriously disturbed. Materials would not be able to guarantee the landing war in one month, and the military operations to land in the Beijing-Tianjin area would be postponed for one year.
All the generals of the Gonghe Army were unexpectedly surprised by this situation. A group of straight soldiers knew very well about the technical issues of how to win the war, but how to make the hesitant enemy troops go south. These young soldiers were unable to touch the head. In fact, it was all Cheng Pan. The military concept that Cheng Pan instilled in them was to fight over them with dignity and scoff at ancient strategies. Well, the reason why the Cheng Pan version of the military school and the Japanese Mainland University caused the students to be stiff in thinking is the same, and they are all products that blindly follow under authority. Not Cheng Pan is not the stubborn Japanese Army veterans. As self-knowledge people, Cheng Pan never thinks he is an all-round talent. Therefore, Cheng Pan can still accept good opinions humbly. Just when Cheng Pan and the Gonghe Army were both headaches for the current strategic stalemate, Wang Tianzhu, the leader of the foreign trade group, thought of a way to break the deadlock.
Three days after the Jia Tushima and the Gonghe Army confronted each other across the Huaihe River, some rumors came from the previously defeated Yuan army. These Yuan soldiers were not defeated, but were released after being captured by the Gonghe Army. There are many versions of these rumors, the first is the vanguard of the Jia Tushima Army and is now afraid of the enemy. The second is that the Gonghe Army and the Jia Tushima Army have an agreement with the Huaihe River as the boundary. These rumors have been circulating in Jiangnan and Huaibei. Of course, people like Prime Minister Tushima saw at first glance that this was a clumsy counter-espionage plan. However, there are many people in this world who are suspicious, such as the emperor and the Mongolian nobles in the court. These people used the money that originally supported them to enjoy themselves to support the army to rehabilitate. Now this army consumes a huge daily consumption, which makes these nobles begin to care about the country's finances, and some impeachments begin to appear.
Prime Minister Tuotuo overwhelmed the objections in the court with his current authority. After resisting the pressure, Tuotuo wrote a letter to Jia Dunxi, advising him not to care about these rumors and to make steady progress. However, he mentioned that the current finances of the court are not easy, and hoped that he could understand the court. Seeing this letter, General Jia lamented, and he was alone in the military camp for a night. Originally, this rumor came to his ears, General Jia had already considered this situation, and now he came from Tuotuo's letter.
The case made him confirm that the situation was the same as he imagined, and the court did not trust him. With the decision of the emperor, as long as he stayed away from the emperor for a long time and no one in the court spoke for him, it was only a matter of time before he fell out of favor. It has to be said that Wang Tianzhu's move was too poisonous. Jia Dunxi, who was not originally a Mongolian, was naturally guarded by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. Now this rumor was at the bull's eye. At this time, the commander of the 130,000 army was forced to the point where he had to fight.
On December 13, 1348, the Yuan Dynasty's rebels, which had been stagnant for nine days, began to cross the Yellow River. While learning about the Yuan army's actions, all members of the Communist Party's officers' regiment cheered after hearing the news. He Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Northern Legion, ordered the entire army to retreat ten kilometers, and at the same time ordered the cavalry regiment to closely monitor the enemy's movements across the river, but were not allowed to disturb the other party's crossing.
The water volume of the Huai River in winter was not urgent. After the pontoon bridge was built, the Yuan Dynasty army began to cross the river. The crossing process was very smooth, which made the Duke Jia, who had been worried about being attacked halfway. Of course, it would be even better if there were no nearby surveillance Republican cavalry.
At this time, Cheng Pan had already arrived in the army. He Cheng, who was beside him, said with a bitter face: "Sir, you are extraordinary, but you should change the job of sending letters, right?" Cheng Pan looked at them and said with a smile: "I shouldn't do this job, but now I must need a fearless person to send a letter to invite the enemy to fight. People are afraid of death, but only if I go, they will be unscathed. Does the Yuan army have the power to slaughter the dragon?" At this time, Zhu Zichou, who was beside him, said: "If you will die in this trip, in exchange for you not taking risks, I am willing to go." Cheng Pan smiled and said: "You don't have to persuade me anymore. This is my last time to take risks. After this battle, I am invincible in the joint army. But now for the successful success of the battle, I will go this trip."
At noon, the Yuan army, which had completely crossed the river, was camping for the enemy attacks that would come at any time. At this time, Cheng Pan, who was riding on his own, entered the Yuan army's sight. So dozens of cavalry surrounded Cheng Pan. At this time, Cheng Pan said loudly: "I am the envoy of the Communist Party Army, please ask the commander of the Yuan army to see me." The centurion among the cavalry surrounding Cheng Pan said: "The envoy of the bandit army? Tie the county." So Cheng Pan was tied up by these people and pushed the Yuan army camp. The whole way, Cheng Pan looked at the seemingly fierce faces of the Yuan army with a plain mentality. In Cheng Pan's super feeling, the faces of more Yuan soldiers in the distance were a little nervous about the uncertainty of their future destiny.
Soon, Cheng Pan, tied strongly by the rope, was pushed into Jia Dunxi's tent. Several soldiers who were escorting Cheng Pan wanted to force Cheng Pan to kneel down several times, but Cheng Pan didn't want to kneel down and no one could force him. In the end, the two soldiers were anxious. So many generals in the tent looked at this little thing, and they couldn't do well. They exchanged colors with each other and began to kick the joint between Cheng Pan's calves and thighs at the same time. This plan is feasible for creatures in the human category, but Cheng Pan's body belongs to the category of monsters. When the two soldiers began to move their feet, Cheng Pan kicked the two with their feet faster. The two unlucky children flew out three meters away, and at the same time, the rope was broken away.
The scene shocked everyone in the tent. All the generals pulled out their weapons and pointed at Cheng Pan. Cheng Pan remained unchanged (when facing a group of guys with a fighting power of chickens, no one would be afraid) and said, "Is this how your army is used to entertain guests?" Jia Governor Jia whispered to the left and right and started to say to Cheng Pan: "You are so brave and good at kung fu. Tell me what you want to come today. You can't surrender?" Cheng Pan knew from his keen hearing that Jia Dunxi had just asked the two people to go out and call someone. But Cheng Pan did not point it out and said straight to the point: "I will join forces to ask the general, will you choose the decisive battle location tomorrow, will the general dare?" Facing Cheng Pan
Of course, Jia Dunxi could not bear the momentum and said, "At noon tomorrow, I will wait for your army 20 kilometers northwest of Gushi County." Cheng Pan said after receiving the reply, "Okay, let's say goodbye." Cheng Pan pretended to be inconstrued and said, "What else does the general have?" Jia Dunxi said, "You are so rude to come empty-handed. Please leave something." Cheng Pan said strangely, "What's the matter?" Jia Dunxi shouted, "It's just an ear." Cheng Pan said, "If I don't want to, what?" Cheng Pan said, "Then I can't help but." As soon as he finished speaking, four big men like towers walked in wearing thick stair armor and holding maces.
Pan thought to himself, "It's indeed a barbarian, and he doesn't talk about diplomatic etiquette at all." Four great men surrounded him. Cheng Pan suddenly appeared in his hand and took out the Heart Refining Sword from the sea of consciousness. He swung out one sword and killed four people. Before everyone could react, he raised his sword and rushed forward, crossed ten meters away to Jia Dunxi and stabbed it out. One of the ears of the Governor Jia was cut off. Cheng Pan ignored the cry of the four middlemen and said with the power of the sun: "Today you want to insult me, I will take one of your ears. Jia Dunxi, if you are a man, see you on the battlefield tomorrow." With the blessing of the power of the sun, this sentence spread a radius of 500 meters. Half of the military camp could hear it, someone was deliberately slapped in the face.
So he ignored the other Cheng Pan and left. During the process of leaving the tent, several commanders rushed towards Cheng Pan, but their weapons were stabbed to death by the Lianxin Sword without touching Cheng Pan. When Cheng Pan left the tent, General Jia shouted hysterically: "Leave him, leave him for me."
So after Cheng Pan got out of the tent, he killed his intent step by step in the camp. Cheng Pan did not choose to jump away in the face of the dense Mongolian soldiers, but was sick in the second half and wanted to have a good time as a hero. Well, he didn't want to be a hero, he just wanted to abuse people. Cheng Pan took out a cannon from his sea of consciousness, which was not bad. This bitch slapped the ignition with the power of the sun. The power of the sun quickly ignited the gunpowder in the cannon chamber, and under the push of the gunpowder gas
The shotgun shot into the crowd, and the result was simply crazy. The person in front of the shotgun was completely shot into a sieve at such a close range, and it was cruel. Cheng Pan, holding the cannon, suffered a huge recoil force after the cannon was fired, and his muscles were slightly wounded. Cheng Pan put away the idea of holding the cannon and hitting the enemy's barracks in all directions, and he was about to run away. So Cheng Pan enjoyed the pleasure of successfully resisting tyranny and was free and easy to follow the Yuan army.
He jumped out of the camp and escaped.
The second day, the Huaihe Battle officially began. The infantry group of 40,000 people of the combined army drove to the battlefield with high morale. At the same time, the Yuan army also arrived at the battlefield. Looking at the Gonghe Army, which was far less than its own, the Yuan army returned a trace of confidence in victory. The Supreme Commander of the Yuan army, Jia Shi, was a little absent-minded because he left a haze in his heart yesterday. Noon arrived soon, and the huge cavalry group of the Yuan army was ready to charge. However, the routine of fighting had been changed by the Gonghe Army. Eight hundred artillery began to speak to launch artillery bombardment on the enemy troops two kilometers away. Such a huge group of artillery was comparable to Prussia in the Battle of Seedang in 1870 in the original time and space.
At this time, the Yuan army and the Communist Army were not only a different era. The shrapnel baptized the Yuan army like a heavy rain of steel. The Yuan army swept by this iron rain was either killed or injured. The main charge cavalry group of the Yuan army, which had as many as 20,000 people, was taken care of before it even took effect. He Feng was very happy when he was commanding the artillery, and he interjected: "It's a pity for these war horses." Then Zhu Zichou looked back and saw He Cheng looking at him with resentful eyes.
Governor Jia was shocked by this unprecedented artillery scene in human history. He seemed to be stupid, and he said repeatedly: "How could this happen?" The shelling barrage gradually approached, and the other generals of the Yuan army no longer cared about their commander. Finally, Jia Dunxi sat foolishly on the ground and was beaten into pieces of minced meat by the black raindrops descending towards this side. The supreme commander of the Yuan Dynasty to suppress the rebels was killed in the battle. The artillery stopped shooting after firing a base of 12 shots of 9,600 shells in each cannon. This shelling shot totaled one-third of the total number of shrapnel bulbs brought to the north, and one-twentieth of the total number of shrapnel bulbs produced this year. The effect was that half of the casualties and injuries of the Yuan army went south this time, and the rest completely lost the courage to fight.
The infantry assault began, and the charge immediately rang. The soldiers of the Gonghe Army sang the original People's Liberation Army song of the time and space People's Liberation Army began this simple offensive teaching that beat the dogs to fall into the water. Under the shooting of bullet rain, the Yuan army, who had just experienced the terrifying artillery attack, faced the Gonghe Army soldiers who had ejaculated flames and harvested their lives. The Yuan army, who had long lost their fighting courage, was no longer considered troops. The group of refugees ran north wildly, and the Gonghe Army chased them slowly. In the end, the Gonghe Army drove them to the edge of the Huai River. Fighting with the backwater? The runners were throwing their armor and unarmed defeated soldiers, had lost their qualifications to resist, and wanted them to realize the deaths in the military books, unless they were all infected with T viruses and turned into zombies.
In the end, the 40,000 defeated generals took the lead, and the entire shore was kneeling together. In the battle of Huaihe River, the Gonghe Army achieved a complete success. Under the huge generation gap formed by advanced weapons, the Gonghe Army and the Yuan Army fought a 1 to 400 loss in the war. Now, after a siege tragedy in Huainan West Road, there was no offensive mentality, so there was no war on the eastern front, while the Fang family army was flanked by the southern front, and there was no major war at the junction of Jiangxi Province. The Yuan army on the northern front had been injured and there would be no problem in a short period of time. At this time, only the Yuan army in Hunan and Sichuan, which was cleverly balanced with the Gonghe Army. The Gonghe Army had already developed a military advantage on the western front.
Under the prisoner policy formulated by Cheng Pan, the 40,000 Yuan troops each got out of one tael of silver. The news of the victory of the Communist Party's army spread rapidly. Because they were preserving their strength and ready to win the credit at any time, several Yuan troops in the western Republican government quickly retreated after receiving the news and reported to the court that the enemy's offensive was strong and they were defending with all their might.
The Yuan Dynasty court is now in chaos. Cheng Pan's big butterfly blew a storm in this time and space. Tuotuo was impeached and stepped down. In the plot of Yitian, the little prince who wanted to marry Zhao Min, his father, Antu Timuer, seized power. This Antu Timuer is ranked as the seventh prince. The seventh prince seized power by taking down Tuotuo's defeat. This person is a treacherous minister in the plot, but he is not a fool. After learning that Cheng Pan used artillery to win the war, the seventh prince began to cast cannons at the order, and at the same time ordered the Henan Jiangbei provinces and all southern provinces to join the Communist Party, not to defeat the Communist Party, but only to delay the Communist Party's journey north and exchange time for space with the Communist Party's consumption.
I have to say that the Seventh Prince is still very smart. If he is doing this, it will be a little trouble. However, the power of the Secretariat has weakened at this time and its control over several provinces has been reduced. I hope that several provinces in the south will cause trouble for the Communist Party. There is a saying that the emperor is far away. If you can do it perfunctorily to your superiors, you will be perfunctorily.
However, due to logistical problems, the Communist Army did not go north from land, and the Henan Province Jiangbei Province completed the task perfectly.
Chapter completed!
