169 The Northern Expedition is defeated

The embarrassing performance of more than 10,000 Northern Expedition Army on the battlefield fell directly into the eyes of the three regiment commanders under the garrison division...

Seeing the enemy on the other side of the road, under the attack of artillery fire and light and heavy machine guns, a bloodthirsty edge flashed directly in the eyes of the three regiment commanders.

After looking at each other, Zhang Yusheng, the oldest among the three, spoke: "Lao Wang, Lao Zhou, the enemy can no longer look after each other. If you counterattack now, you will definitely achieve beyond your imagination. You will even drive these gangs of soldiers to the shore of Xiashan Reservoir like driving a duck, making them become turtles in the jars of our three regiments. At that time, the more than 10,000 elite Northern Expedition Army will have to surrender to us except to die in the battlefield..."

"I agree with Captain Zhang's opinion, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the enemy's chaos to make them more chaotic and resolve the battle as soon as possible... Otherwise, it would change later. After all, the elites of Chiang Kai-shek's lineage were all ambushed by us. Over time, under the supervision of a large number of officers, a unified command will be formed sooner or later..." Captain Zhou Xingguo said with an agreement.

Two of the three expressed their agreement, and before the war started, the division commander Li Guosheng had repeatedly emphasized that during the entire ambush, various decisions and attack time should be based on the opinions of Zhang Yusheng and Zhou Xingguo. As the leader of the regiment, and he was born to be able to act as a powerful general, he certainly had no opinions...

As the opinions were unified, the bloodthirsty edge shot out from Zhang Yusheng's eyes became even more fierce. After a brief contemplation, he spoke directly: "Very good. Then we will follow the scheduled combat plan, and the three infantry regiments, in battalions, immediately launched an attack on the opposite Northern Expedition Army troops. Taking step-by-step advancement, we drove more than 10,000 elite Northern Expedition Army soldiers to the shore of Xiashan Reservoir to wipe out them..."

"Brothers. For victory, for the four counties in eastern Shandong, for the fields at home, and to eliminate the invaders..."

A series of tempting shouts sounded at the ambush position of the security division. Three infantry regiments, more than 6,000 elite infantrymen, directly under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers..., crossed the Jiaoji Railway Line and launched an attack on the chaotic Northern Expedition Army troops...

Although the six thousand elite troops are only less than half of the total strength of the Northern Expedition Army, as the three old main regiments of the security division, except for the same number of equipment as the Northern Expedition Army, the number of equipment of other light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns is more than twice the size of the Northern Expedition Army.

Therefore, the firepower density shot out by more than 6,000 people in an instant was directly greater than the more than 10,000 people in the Northern Expedition Army. In addition, the sudden violent artillery attack just now had already blown up the morale of these Northern Expedition soldiers. How could these Northern Expedition Army, which had lost command and fell into chaos, be the opponent of the six thousand elite guards of the security division...

Guo Tiansheng, the commander of the Fourth Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Division, has rushed to the front of the entire 1st regiment since he received the order of attack.

Using the same tactics as when dealing with the Japanese, all submachine guns and light machine guns in the entire company rushed to the front of the entire company under the command of Company Commander Guo Tiansheng to ensure the firepower output to the enemy. As for the infantry behind, except for some sharpshooters who constantly use their rifles in their hands to shoot and kill enemies that threaten the front row of submachine gunmen on both wings of the company. The rest, all took out grenades and threw them one by one to the front, providing smoke cover for the entire company...

Under the command of company commander Guo Tiansheng, the entire fourth company was like a giant tank that kept reaping enemy lives, unstoppable advance towards the gathering ground of the Northern Expedition Army, which was getting closer and closer to it...

"Oh no, the guard division has started attacking, and the guard division is coming. Brothers will fight back immediately. You must block the guard division's offensive and shoot a counterattack..." Facing the more than 100 elite troops of the 4th Company of the 1st Guard Division who were rushing towards him, a lieutenant colonel officer in the Northern Expedition Army who was just in front of him, he directly picked up a submachine gun of the dead soldiers and wanted to counterattack.

"Dadada..." A series of hot flames gushed out from the muzzle of the submachine gun in his hand. Dozens of bullets flew directly to the position of the Fourth Company. However, perhaps because of the range of the submachine gun, or perhaps because of the grenade smoke generated by the grenades that kept exploding in front of the Fourth Company, more than 20 bullets failed to hit a guard division officer.

When he threw down the submachine gun in his hand hatred, picked up the pistol, and was about to greet more than 100 subordinates who had just been put together to fight back. What the Lieutenant Colonel officer didn't know was that because of his counterattack just now, a machine gunner from the Fourth Company had already aimed the black hole muzzle at his location...

"Dadadada..." A series of crisp gunfires sounded. Several light machine gun bullets rushed directly into the face, killing the dust in front of them.

"Sir... hide quickly..." The gunshots rang out, and a veteran's scream rang out directly from his side.

No matter how fast the reaction speed of the lieutenant colonel officer was, it was not as fast as the bullets. A series of dense bullets directly drove the lieutenant colonel officer with the highest rank in front of him into a hornet's nest...

"The commander is dead, the commander is dead..." The lieutenant colonel officer was directly killed. More than 100 elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army who had just been summoned by the lieutenant colonel officer were instantly trapped in a state of no leader.

Although several company platoon leaders of the Northern Expedition Army, which had more than 100 people, were in charge of several company platoon leaders. However, these company platoon leaders had no affiliation. Facing the almost unstoppable attacking troops of the security division in front of them, two different opinions were directly carried out between the Northern Expedition Army, which had a scale of only more than 100 people.

"Brothers, the commander is dead, and you're still going to get a yarn. Escape quickly..." The lieutenant colonel commander fell to the ground. When he saw the army of guards swarming in front of him, the slightly timid Northern Expedition Army officers and soldiers, his first thought was to escape. He took his scattered subordinates and retreated directly with a embarrassed look on his face...

"No, the commander has orders to fight back on the spot... Brothers, counterattack immediately and swear to block the guard division to the death..." Of course, there were also hard-bodied officers among the more than 100 people. They waved their weapons and screamed and ordered their subordinates to fight back.

However, their roar did not resonate with many people.

"Damn it, don't hold us if you want to die... The guards are all anti-Japanese heroes, and it's too unfair to die at the hands of anti-Japanese heroes... Brothers, the guards can even beat the Japanese, let alone us... those who don't want to die, run away quickly..."

"Brothers, retreat quickly... If you don't retreat, you won't be able to leave..."

The curses rang out in the middle of the small team, and some officers and soldiers had just stood up to resist. They also slowly dissipated because of the continuous spread of these curses.

Especially when I saw the officers and soldiers around me carrying weapons, they retreated back. When I saw the officers and soldiers of the security division who were like wolves and tigers, constantly pouring bullets into their location...

The last straw that pressed on the hearts of these officers and soldiers was directly overwhelmed by the fear of death.

In order to survive and for the sake of his family... these officers and soldiers no longer care about any orders, they directly carried their weapons and joined the ranks of fleeing...

As a result, the team of more than 100 people, except for the only dozen, still lying on the ground to fight back. The rest, without exception, joined the ranks of escape.

The officers and soldiers of the police division responsible for the attack had already received orders before the war. They did not make any embarrassment against these fleeing officers and soldiers and allowed them to flee backwards. As for the enemies who were lying on the ground to fight back, they showed no mercy. Ten light machine guns and more than twenty submachine guns, without any hesitation. They directly pointed the black hole muzzle at them.

"Dadada..." A dense sound of machine gun straits sounded in the fourth company's attacking queue. The dense bullets quickly covered more than a dozen Northern Expedition officers and soldiers lying on the ground.

Without any cover, more than a dozen people didn't even say a word. They were shot directly into their bodies from behind by dense bullets...

"Ah...ahh..." A scream sounded among the dozen people. Without any accident, more than a dozen Northern Expedition Army's deadly members turned into corpses without any attack. More than 100 people from the Fourth Company of the First Regiment of the Security Division directly opened the way with dense charge firepower and attacked forward with unstoppable momentum. Just like driving a duck, the Northern Expedition Army officers and soldiers who had already begun to flee and were like snowballs, were rolling bigger and bigger towards the shore of Xiashan Reservoir a kilometer or two away...

One after another, the Northern Expedition Army troops that had lost their establishment did not even hold on to the attack of the security division, and then began to have a general defeat...

Seeing the chaotic and completely one-sided battle situation because the troops lost morale and command, Chief of Staff He Yingqin could hardly believe his eyes. At the same time, questions continued to appear in his mind...

Are these troops that are constantly defeating backwards the elite of the Northern Expedition Army that Commander-in-Chief Jiang relies very much on...

Why are these elite soldiers so unbearable in front of the security guards with no advantage in their troops...

If he knew that his opponent at this moment, the three old main groups of the Security Division, more than half of the officers and soldiers, had experienced the baptism of the Anti-Japanese battlefield. At the same time, the automatic firepower of these three main groups was more than twice that of their own troops. Although there were only more than 6,000 offensives, judging from the firepower, it exceeded two main divisions.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

After the news that his retreat was blocked, the invincible reputation of the security division in front of the Japanese army spread among the troops, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers had already expressed a look of worry about the future of the battle. In addition, the sudden shelling of hundreds of artillery artillery pieces by the security division directly used thousands of shells to blow up their confidence and morale.

The troops without morale and at least have the courage to resist. Without a unified command and the entire army is in chaos, how could they be the opponent of the six thousand elite troops of the security division?

A man fled under the fierce attack of the guards, and immediately led a group of people to start fleeing...

As for the more than 10,000 deadly elements in the Northern Expedition Army, although they fought to the death, their resistance was only the action of a few people. The sparse firepower of resistance not only did not block the offensive of the security division, but instead allowed the security division to find the target of attack and immediately eliminated the backbone of these troops who were loyal to Chiang Kai-shek...

Without the support of these backbone, the remaining more than 10,000 people were facing the officers and soldiers of the bullet security division chasing him behind him, and the speed of the escaping was faster...

Seeing that he was still stunned, he looked at the troops retreating from his side and was shocked. The company commander who protected the guards beside him, whispered: "Chief of Staff, the security division is about to be called. Look, are we going to retreat immediately?"

"Retreat. When will our Northern Expedition Army take the initiative to retreat... The guards will immediately stop these defeated soldiers and block them on the spot. We must block the offensive of the security division..." He Yingqin, who ignored the guard's advice and looked unwilling to admit defeat, roared unexpectedly.

Although it is clear that when the army is defeated, it is impossible to save the defeat with less than a hundred guards around him. However, after seeing the strong murderous aura on He Yingqin's face, the major officer, as the company commander of the guard company, nodded in agreement and called on his subordinates around him to start gathering the defeated soldiers...

However, what made He Yingqin feel desperate was that even under the threat of the black guns of the guards, a minute passed. More than one hundred people did not collect many defeated soldiers...

When the troops are defeated as a whole, as long as the veterans who have been through the battlefield know one thing. If their commander fires a gun now, it will not only not save the entire battle situation, but will also cause a riot among the entire defeated army. Therefore, in the face of the threat from the guards, these defeated soldiers will ignore them directly, and how to retreat or how to retreat.

"Bastard, is this still the elite of my Northern Expedition Army in a hundred battles..." Seeing the surrounding troops returning empty-handed, the fugitive troops still retreating backwards regardless of everything. The angry Chief of Staff He Yingqin shouted again.

However, his roar, on the battlefield where the sound of cannons could only reach the ears of more than 100 guards around him. Seeing the attacking troops of the security division that were only a few hundred meters away from him, the major company commander who was escorting He Yingqin's safety, regardless of what He Yingqin had in front of him, spoke directly.

"Chief of Staff, the attacking troops of the security division are already close. I beg you to retreat immediately for the sake of these more than 10,000 soldiers..." After saying that, before He Yingqin could answer, he roared loudly at the two guards guarding He Yingqin.

"Bastard, why are you still standing there? I'll immediately escort the Chief of Staff to retreat. If the Chief of Staff has nothing but something, I'll shoot you directly, hurry..."

Chief of Staff He Yingqin joined the retreating army under the forced escort of a group of guards. Even the small number of elite Northern Expedition Army soldiers who took the initiative to leave for the final resistance instantly lost the determination to continue to resist because of the chief's escape.

"Brothers, run away quickly... The sir has all escaped, let's play a ball..."

"Escape..." A series of exclamations began to sound among the fleeing crowd. The Northern Expedition Army, which had more than 10,000 people, directly appeared like this...

The densely packed officers and soldiers, chasing the 6,000 elite guards behind them, rushed to the shore of Xiashan Reservoir like frightened rabbits.

Both sides of the enemy and us chased each other. In less than twenty minutes, the remaining 13,000 people from the two main divisions of the Northern Expedition Army were driven to an open area less than one square kilometer on the shore...

"Brothers, set up all the machine guns for me immediately... and complete the siege of the enemy..." The Northern Expedition Army was forced to stop fleeing. The six thousand elite soldiers of the security division followed closely also took the initiative to stop. In order to achieve the goal of annihilation, the six thousand elite soldiers did not launch a blind attack. Instead, they used light and heavy machine guns as the junction point to quickly complete the siege of more than ten thousand elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army.

In less than five minutes, surrounded by more than 300 light and heavy machine guns, a huge encirclement in a semicircular shape was quickly formed. More than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army immediately became the turtle in the jar of the 6,000 elite soldiers of the guard division...

The front road was blocked by lake water, and the back road was surrounded by guard divisions. More than 10,000 elite Northern Expedition Army soldiers who had gathered together slowly reacted from fear. Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the surrounding Northern Expedition Army completing the encirclement, they began to form a unified command under the gathering of officers at all levels...

He Yingqin's temporary command center looked at the quickly gathered troops and his pale face finally looked much better. However, after knowing the bad situation that the more than 10,000 Northern Expedition Army under his command, the courage he had just raised was once again shattered.

"There is a blockade in front and a pursuer behind... Is Li Guosheng's security guard really going to kill us?" He Yingqin murmured to himself. Then, he set his eyes on a regiment commander beside him and asked.

"Captain Wang, if I concentrate all the light and heavy weapons of the entire army on your infantry regiment, can I open a gap in the front guard division defense line and cover the troops to rush out..."

He quickly glanced at the surrounding gun barrels, and almost every three meters away, the guard divisions with at least one light and heavy machine gun blocking position were deployed. Thinking of the sudden violent artillery fire that his troops were suddenly hit by half an hour ago. The regiment commander, who was named by He Yingqin, shook his head and spoke.

"Chief of Staff, I'm not saying a disheartening thing. On our front, the security division deployed at least 300 light and heavy machine guns, plus the opponent's large number of submachine guns equipped with troops, and even only one artillery unit was exposed before the war. Our attacking troops, now conducting attacks, will not play any role except for killing death...

"It's not possible to break through. Can we just watch more than 10,000 soldiers be destroyed in my hands... "He Yingqin's face was directly covered by a look of despair...!~!
