Chapter 3 Battle in Fuyang

Chapter 3 Battle in Fuyang

Lising County is a county town in northern Anhui. Wang Zhanyuan on the city tower looked ahead with a telescope. All the troops were slowly advancing, but he could see the smoke and dust in the distance. There were troops of the Iron Blood Army. Neither side had excavated fortifications. It seemed that they were all enthusiastic about this direct war in China. During the later warlord civil war, there were almost no trenches used in battles, and the mechanized infantry of Dengsen's main division would not dig the trenches even more fortifications.

Under the guidance of armored trucks, more than 40,000 attack troops of the Iron Blood Army advanced from Luwan to Lixin County, while the Beiyang Army rushed over from Weizhuang, Kangtu and Dongji, east of Lixin County. One side attacked, and the other side opened the road in the front with armored vehicles. The speeds of the two sides were almost the same.

"According to the current marching speed budget between the enemy and us, we and the Beiyang Army will encounter each other in the Wulou area. I think they will definitely be defeated after being bombed by our heavy machine guns and mortars, not to mention the artillery division behind them." Guo Huai was sure of winning this war. The current war is no longer about the number of people or fewer people, but about the firepower. The mechanics have as many as three or four hundred heavy machine guns, and the field division has more than one hundred, and these two hundred mortars. The projected firepower alone is equivalent to a more army of the Beiyang government. In addition, the second artillery division behind them, more than three hundred light and heavy artillery cannons, even if the entire Beiyang can exceed it, it will be a bit over.

"That's right, the enemy must have a large number of troops. If we follow the point assault method, we will definitely not be able to defeat the enemy on a large scale. Deputy Commander, I think we can divide mechanical armored vehicles into more than 20 batches, and then every two or three armored vehicles or semi-armored trucks are the front-line troops, forming assault troops with two companies of ten mechanized infantry as a unit to launch all-round attacks on the enemy's front. In addition, they will definitely notify the artillery division of the rear before we encounter the enemy again." The main division mechanics division this time, but the highest commander this time is Guo Huai, deputy commander of the SS, so Tian Shi mainly focuses on Guo Huai.

"It's good to do it." Guo Huai agreed with Tian Shi's meaning, using armored vehicles and excitement firepower trucks as the vanguard troops, and the field division followed and attacked the enemy on the entire front. In fact, this is a bold idea. It is a method that will only be used when the weapons and equipment of both sides are extremely selected. The Iron Blood Army is equivalent to fighting against the enemy and the regiment's forces with one battalion, but everyone has confidence.

Time passed slowly, the artillery division had stopped, about five miles away from the battlefield, and the forward troops were about to arrive at the battlefield. During the process, all brigades and regiments received notices that armored vehicles and trucks formed twenty-four teams, and the soldiers of the field division also divided into companies to follow.

The "Send the signal flare" can already see the enemy three miles away, and Guo Huai ordered the troops to release the signal flare.

"Chir...b..." According to law, something like a firework flashed in the sky, and the artillery behind began to become busy.

"Detect the elements, shoot according to the scheduled shooting, and prepare for filling the shells..." The artillery commanders issued serious orders, and the gun muzzle of the artillery rose little by little, and then stopped. The loaders hurriedly filled the shells. Each artillery division consisted of 320 artillery pieces, twenty heavy artillery pieces, one hundred medium-sized artillery pieces of about 88 mm, and 200 small artillery pieces of various types. Up to 3,000 artillery pieces can be dropped within half an hour.

Sun Chuanfang is always feeling restless now, as if something bad is about to happen.

"The order to stop moving forward" can be seen in the wrong situation of the Iron Blood Army, but Sun Chuanfang ordered the order to stop moving forward.

"The Iron Blood Army actually divided the troops again. This unit has at most one battalion. Except for those well-known armored trucks, there are less than one regiment. Do they have that great confidence?" Sun Chuanfang was shocked and puzzled, but his intuition told him to wait.

"Haha, the guys on the opposite side were holding a few broken trucks and trying to scare us? Brothers, the general said, defeating the Iron Blood Army. The wine and meat are enough." The other troops were not like Sun Chuanfang. They were not as cautious as Sun Chuanfang. Sanli Road was soon halfway, but at this time the sky remembered another fireworks.

"Oh bad shelling of the Iron Blood Army" Sun Chuanfang now knows why the Iron Blood Army is not moving, because they are preparing to shell the gun, but now he knows it's too late.

"Retreat a mile immediately, and then prepare for war." In Sun Chuanfang's view, any Beiyang army will be defeated after being violently bombarded, as if it is born with fear.

The other Beiyang troops who were striding forward did not think what this firework meant. They just wanted to quickly defeat these arrogant and arrogant enemies in front of them, several times fewer than them.

"Bang bang...bang bang..." A muffled groan like a ladder came from a distance, and Sun Chuanfang's heart burst into pieces. He knew that he had guessed correctly. At the same time, he was preparing to block the Iron Blood Army after the defeat of each unit.

"Run the shells quickly..." Some veterans are still knowledgeable. The dense muffled groans from afar meant that a large number of artillery fired at them, so their first feeling was to escape immediately and run out of the range of the shells, but the shells were always faster than their legs and feet. Before they could take a few steps, a rain of bullets fell from the sky.

"Boom..." The first shell hit the ground and exploded. Several Beiyang troops screamed and were then blown up. At this time, all Beiyang soldiers felt a huge threat. They knew that the thing in the sky was so powerful and so life-threatening. Many of them were bandits and refugees before, and they had never seen artillery attacks.

"Boom...boom..." Then artillery shells fell on almost the entire front, and Beiyang soldiers were everywhere.

The fire was shining, the explosions were deafening, and it was continuous, like a kind of music with this rhythm, mixed with the screams of soldiers made everyone frightened.

"Attack..." Guo Huai immediately ordered the troops to start when the shelling was about to end.

"Run quickly!" On the battlefield, the Beiyang Army, who had just finished the artillery bombing and was dizzy and could not find his own team, had the first idea of ​​retreating. For those of them who had not been baptized by war, this was a very normal reaction.

"Retreat quickly..." As the commander of the troops, the commanders of the Beiyang Army's divisions and brigades were also scared by the cluster artillery attacks of the Iron Blood Army. They dared not stay in this place again.

"Dadadada..." But they were just about to escape, and the Iron Blood Army troops rushed over and arrived quickly at a distance of only a few hundred meters. The heavy machine gun started firing as soon as it reached its range.

"Ah..." The screams immediately sounded, and some Beiyang troops who were trying to resist were torn to pieces by the bullets of the flying heavy machine guns or rifles after firing the armored vehicles.

"Run" could no longer control it. He was already scared by the shelling. Suddenly, he was exposed to such a powerful blow and it was even more difficult for them to defend their formation.

"Stop them..." The fleeing soldiers escaped from Sun Chuanfang's troops, but Sun Chuanfang, as a general under Wang Zhanyuan, showed different command capabilities. He gathered heavy machine guns and fired continuously at a charge force of the Iron Blood Army.

"Dadadada..." The violent sound of heavy machine guns rang out, and many soldiers from the Iron Blood Army who were chasing the truck fell to the ground.

"Boom..." A huge explosion came on the battlefield. However, an unarmored truck was hit by the Beiyang Army and exploded. Two trucks around him were damaged and dozens of people were killed. This was the biggest casualty suffered by the Iron Blood Army at the beginning of the war.

"Hit four teams and break through this enemy for me." Guo Huai immediately made adjustments to the troops, and several teams moved quickly to the front of Sun Chuanfang's troops.

The "mortar firing" teams have dozens of mortars. After arriving, they quickly placed the mortars behind the armored vehicles, then adjusted the angle and put the shells in.

"Bang bang..." With a slight muffled sound, dozens of shells fell accurately on Sun Chuanfang's head, and several heavy machine guns were directly hit and surrounded.

"Dadada..." At this time, the new armored vehicle attacked again. Since Sun Chuanfang's heavy machine gun position was under the focus of the Iron Blood Army mortar, there is almost no sound anymore, and a division is directly facing the attack of the Iron-Armored Vehicle.

"Papapapa..." Sun Chuanfang still has a good way of training. Although he was not as organized as the Iron Blood Army, his combat effectiveness was also considered a name in the Beiyang Army. However, when these soldiers found that their bullets had no effect on these moving monsters, their morale fell directly.

"We can't break their defense at all, commander." A commander came to Sun Chuanfang and pointed to the iron-armored car that had not slowed down at all.

"Retreat" Sun Chuanfang had no choice in the face of such a situation, especially the small cannons like the Iron Blood Army that could fire quickly, which gave him a huge blow. Although only hundreds of casualties were injured and killed, he was not ready to continue to attack.

"Chasing..." Seeing the Beiyang Army's complete escape, Guo Huai issued another order. The war ended almost within half an hour. It can be said that the war ended the fastest time in the history of domestic civil war. Under the superior firepower and the training level was too different, everything went so smoothly.

"Bapa..." During the march, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army launched a shooting at the Beiyang Army in front. From time to time, a group of Beiyang Army were caught up by the Iron Blood Lord. After a fierce battle, they all surrendered with their guns.

On the city tower of Lixin County, Wang Zhanyuan, who had originally seen his vast army, was almost stunned. So quickly, he was defeated. The war lasted less than an hour. The high-spirited Beiyang Army, an hour ago, is now returning like a dog of a family. His artillery had just arrived at the pre-determined position and was defeated.

"Master, let's retreat quickly. The Iron Blood Army has a large number of artillery, and we can't stop it at all." A combat staff member rushed over in a hurry.

"How could I be defeated like this? The troops I formed with a lot of money and supplies were so vulnerable?" Wang Zhanyuan still could not recover from the shadow of failure and did not pay attention to the adjutant around him.

"Please the commander away" in the end there was no way for the adjutant to carry him away.

"Teacher Commander, our 7th Regiment is surrounded, what should we do?" Sun Chuanfang was retreating with his troops, but the Iron Blood Army behind him was chasing him, and he surrounded him from time to time. Now he has lost a brigade, but he has no choice but to escape and escape the pursuit of the Iron Blood Army.

"What else can I do? If you run away quickly, we will have even less hope." Sun Chuanfang's only target now is hurry up and leave here quickly.

"Haha, the Beiyang Army is simply a pussy. He knows that we have large-scale artillery, but he doesn't build fortifications and trenches. He fights with us in the field. Isn't this seeking death?" Guo Huai stood on the armored vehicle and laughed. The victory of this war was too simple. Now he feels that the Iron Blood Army alone can definitely unify the whole country. But he doesn't know that Deng Sen doesn't say whether he can support such a long war, but it can support it. How much troops will the war consume? Now it is a small friction. If it really reaches the point of life and death, Yuan Shikai will go crazy, and his losses will definitely be great. Moreover, the Beiyang is not so bad. The reason why Wang Zhanyuan failed was because the Iron Blood Army dispatched few troops and relaxed his vigilance. Second, he did not pay attention to the role of artillery. The so-called "one mistake can lead to wisdom". After one, the Beiyang Army will not foolishly make the same mistake.

"Report to the deputy commander, our army has captured Lixin County. Will most of the Beiyang Army flee to Fuyang to pursue it?" Tian Shi asked Guo Huai on the side with a telescope.

"Of course, chasing the horse immediately gives the Beiyang army no chance to breathe, and it can be done until Henan. It can be reported to the head of state that our army will defeat the Beiyang army in just one day, and pay the down payment to Fuyang." There is no suspense in this war. The Beiyang army was completely defeated, and it was very fast. Of course, there are also problems that gave Guo Huai a headache, that is, the 40,000 prisoners who have been captured are not foreign tribes, but their tribes naturally cannot kill them. With such a large group of guys, it has dragged down a lot of his troops.

A day later, the Iron Blood Army fought at the city of Fuyang, but at this time there was no Beiyang soldier in Fuyang. However, after entering the city, Guo Huai became angry. Fuyang had changed a lot at this time. The entire city was looted. The Beiyang Army carried out a large-scale robbery here. If it weren't for the Iron Blood Army's pursuit, they would have carried out a slaughter. At the same time, Deng Sen's order was also issued, which was to pursue the Beiyang Army, arrest Wang Zhanyuan, and to trial Wang Zhanyuan in the military court.

This order was like injecting blood into Guo Huai, leaving two regiments to guard the prisoners, and all other troops pursued them.

Xincai County is the place where Henan and Anhui are intersecting. The Beiyang Army fled here in a panic and finally got a chance to breathe. However, just half a day later, the Iron Blood Army chased and looked at the Iron Blood Army surrounding Xincai County. It was almost crying.
