Total War Predator

Ye Ting was well-known in the National Revolutionary Army. In 1922, when Chen Jiongming rebelled, the rebels bombarded Yuexiu Building and besieged the Presidential Palace. Ye Ting and Xue Yue, who were then battalion commanders of the Presidential Guard Corps, led the officers and soldiers of the Presidential Guard to take Soong Ching Ling from the Presidential Palace. Safe evacuation, they were appreciated by Sun Yat-sen

In 1924, Ye Ting was sent by Sun Yat-sen to study abroad at the Eastern University of the Soviet Union. Last year when the National Government was established, he returned to China and served as the head of the 12th Regiment of the 36th Division of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Later, Chiang Kai-shek formed a group of young people who were loyal to the revolution and the Three People's Principles a** group

The soldiers of the ** regiment are of excellent quality. They are all patriotic and passionate young people who have passed the political barriers. They are willing to give everything for the revolution. military prestige

Sifen is an important throat connecting Youxian County and Liling. To get to Sifen, you have to cross the Sifen River. However, there is only one stone bridge on the river with a radius of more than ten miles. This bridge is called Zhennan Bridge, also known as Becoming the Sifen Bridge, the enemy relied on the Sifen Bridge to build a large number of military fortifications to prevent the Northern Expeditionary Army from crossing the river. Ye Ting's regiment is now trapped on the south bank of the Sifen Bridge

Taking advantage of the rest of the troops, Ye Ting called a meeting of the regiment company and higher-level regiments to arrange combat tasks

"If we want to take Changsha, we have to take Liling first, and if we want to take Liling, we have to take this Sifen Bridge first. The local fellow told me that the enemy has taken away all the ships dozens of miles around now. They built fortifications on the bridge. The heavy rain a few days ago caused the river to surge, and the enemy set up machine guns on the bridge and could shoot at the river at any time. Only by taking down the Sifen Bridge can we attack Changsha for this mission. It is very difficult, so I decided that the second battalion and the third battalion will complete the main attack mission this time." Ye Ting and several company commanders squatted on the ground to surround the city, and he continued to draw on the ground with branches to explain the battle plan to everyone

"Regimental Commander, our first battalion is usually responsible for the task of tackling tough tasks. Why did we give the second and third battalions this time? Our first battalion will definitely be able to complete the task." Cao Yuan, the commander of the first battalion, gave the task of tackling tough tasks to the second and third battalions when he saw Ye Ting. Immediately dissatisfied

Cao Yuan was a student in the first phase of Whampoa. He joined the Kuomintang when he was admitted to Whampoa. He is a loyal believer of Sun Yat-sen and a supporter of the Three People's Principles. Today he was transferred to the Ye Ting Regiment as the first battalion commander

"Cao Battalion Commander, if you say that, you are in the army. Why can't you give us the second battalion for this mission?" After hearing Cao Yuan's words, the second battalion commander Xu Jishen quit.

Xu Jishen was also a student of the first phase of Whampoa. He joined the KMT after he was admitted to Whampoa.

Ye Ting was very happy to see Xu Jishen's move. He likes the enthusiasm of his subordinates who refuse to accept anyone. Only competition can make progress. Healthy competition must be promoted.

"Haha, what are you arguing about, what are you arguing about? You can hide behind and sleep without an attack mission?" Ye Ting shouted pretending to be dissatisfied, and then looked at Cao Yuan, "Why Puquan, I'm afraid that there is no battle. As the saying goes, this is a good steel Use it wisely and I will make the task of your first battalion more difficult, just because I am afraid that you will not be able to complete it."

Ye Ting is well aware of the truth that it is better to invite generals than to provoke them, especially for these young people.

"Commander, you look down on people too much. What kind of mission are you talking about? If you can't finish it, I will come to see you." Cao Yuan graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, but after all, he is a young man in his 20s, how can he bear this excitement?

"Okay, what I'm waiting for is what you said. You see, this is the Sifen Bridge. We are on the south bank of the river. If we just attack here blindly, the enemy's reinforcements will come in a steady stream. Let alone our regiment, we are a division." If you want to take down the Sifen Bridge, you have to cut off the enemy's reinforcements. Our right is the [-]th Division. Don't worry about the reinforcements on the left. The task I give you is to cross the river quietly and hold it back. Reinforcement, buy time for the second battalion and third battalion to compete for the Sifen Bridge, and at the same time block the enemy's retreat. This task is very difficult, so I also transferred the sixth company of the second battalion to your command. You must complete this task." Ye Ting took it The branch continued to explain on the ground, and finally looked at Cao Yuan and said solemnly

"Don't worry, Commander, we can definitely complete the task, but we don't have a boat, how can we cross the river?" Cao Yuan is always so confident, but some things are not enough just to have confidence

"This matter has been thought of for you a long time ago. Our local villagers also hate the rule of the warlords very much. They are willing to be our guides. In addition, there is the Civilian National Salvation Corps on the other side of the river. They will also assist you in fighting." Ye Ting looked at Ai will laugh

"As long as we cross the river, we promise not to let reinforcements come to Sifen Bridge," Cao Yuan said firmly.

"After dark today, we will attack Sifen Bridge to attract firepower for you. At dawn tomorrow, we will really attack. At that time, it will be up to you." Ye Ting patted Cao Yuan on the shoulder and said

"We promise to complete the task." Cao Yuan stood up and gave a military salute and said

"That's it, everyone will go to rest, this battle is not easy." Ye Ting also stood up and said to everyone

Ye Ting asked everyone to rest, but he had no intention of resting. He did not have the confidence to win this Northern Expedition. Of course, he did not pay attention to Sun Chuanfang, Wu Peifu and others. The key is the Northwest Army, and that is the big worry

Now the Northwest Army occupies the territory in the west of Hubei, and Anhui is now under the jurisdiction of the Beijing government. Jiangsu Province is the territory of the Northwest Army. It is inevitable to fight with the Northwest Army. Once Wu Peifu joins the Northwest Army, the Northern Expedition Army will not even be able to cross the river. You must know that the Northwest Army has the most powerful navy in China, not to mention that the weapons and equipment of the Northwest Army are much better than those of the Northern Expedition Army. The artillery alone is not at the same level. The ** regiment like my own does not even have large artillery, only a few door mortar

A few days ago, the military conflict between the Northwest Army and the Japanese army was full of turmoil. The combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army was sought after by various media. They were given titles such as the Asian Lion and the First Army of China. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army should not be underestimated. , but now is not the time to think about them. Right now, I still think about how to win the Sifen Bridge

In the evening, the soldiers of the ** regiment, who had taken a nap, were all in high spirits. The soldiers of the first battalion had already set off. After 2 hours, they would cross the river under the guidance of their guides.

The Sifen Bridge will be ready to attack in an hour and a half. Now the soldiers are nervously checking their guns and ammunition, making final preparations before the attack.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Xu Jishen led the soldiers of the Second Battalion to start the battle to capture the Sifen Bridge

All of a sudden, there were gunshots on both sides of the Sifen Bridge, and artillery roared

At the same time, Cao Yuan led the soldiers of the first battalion to find a relatively shallow river section under the leadership of the local guide, and crossed the Sifen River smoothly.

After crossing the river, under the cover of night, Cao Yuan met Liu Manzi, the head of the Civilian National Salvation Corps. Some are carrying big knives, some are carrying shotguns, and some are simply carrying shovels for farming at home

Seeing the weapons of the Civilian National Salvation Corps pretending to be aggressive, Cao Yuan asked his subordinates to give some spare guns captured in the previous battle to the Civilian National Salvation Corps.

"We are all rough people, this thing is ruined for us." Liu Manzi said no, but his eyes were fixed on the gun on the ground

"Head Liu, don't be polite. These things were originally for the captured warlords. You don't want them, and we don't use them." Seeing Liu Manzi like this, Cao Yuan thought it was funny

"Then we won't be polite, everyone, don't be dumbfounded, those who know how to shoot will get the guns." Liu Manzi happily told his team members, and he also picked up a gun and skillfully pulled the bolt and put it on. The bullet aimed at the distance

When Cao Yuan saw his posture, he knew that Liu Manzi was not simple, at least he was a veteran with a gun. It seems that this Chinese character that looks carefree is also not a simple person.

"Commander Liu, tell me about the situation here." Cao Yuan pulled Liu Manzi aside and asked

"The leader of the position here doesn't know what it's called, but it's just a bag of soil. He thinks that there are people in the south who are holding him behind him, and there is nothing wrong with him. The so-called position is simply digging trenches. They also bought wine in the afternoon. At this time, I’m sleepy after drinking too much. Let’s make a surprise attack now, and we will definitely catch them by surprise.” Liu Manzi’s disdainful expression made Cao Yuan feel that this person is not simple when he talked about the head of the regiment.

"Well, let's do as you say." Cao Yuan decided to trust Liu Manzi

Cao Yuan led his soldiers and followed Liu Manzi to the front of the enemy's position. Now the sound of gunfire from the Sifen Bridge can be heard in this place, but the position is completely silent, not even a patrol.

"Everyone is ready, start to move" Cao Yuan ordered, and all the people dispersed and sneaked towards the enemy's position

Because a soldier of the Civilian National Salvation Corps was too nervous, the enemy was suddenly awakened when he went off fire, and the position suddenly became chaotic.

"We are the ** Regiment of the Fourth Army of the Northern Expedition Army. All the people surrender their guns and don't kill them." Seeing this situation, Cao Yuan immediately drew out his gun and fired at the sky, shouting loudly

"The Northern Expeditionary Army is coming"

"The Sifen Bridge has been conquered, everyone, run away!"

As soon as they heard that it was the Northern Expeditionary Army, the enemies panicked, and few of them had the will to resist. Some even knew how to run with their guns on their shoulders. Many of them didn’t even want their guns at all, and just ran for their lives.

Seeing this kind of scene, Cao Yuan also ordered everyone to pursue without hesitation. He asked Liu Manzi's Civilian National Salvation Corps and a platoon to stay to clean up the battlefield, and the rest pursued northward.

I didn't expect that the Zhijun army would not be able to fight, but they escaped faster and faster one by one, and the defeated troops fled to the city of Liling one after another.

After chasing him for a while, Cao Yuan saw that he really couldn't catch up with him, so he had to lead his soldiers back.

After feinting for more than two hours, and probably having figured out the enemy's firepower, Ye Ting ordered everyone to rest first, and waited for dawn to take down the Sifen Bridge in one go.

The defenders on the other side of the river were none other than one of Ye Ting’s regiments fighting against four. The leader of the regiment was Xie Wenbing. When he saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army had been fighting like this for a long time but there was no movement, he realized that something was wrong. It must be The fire reconnaissance of the Northern Expedition Army ordered the soldiers to readjust the firepower overnight, and waited for the Ye Ting regiment to attack again the next day (to be continued)

Chapter 4 Tune the tiger away from the mountain

The Independence Regiment didn't keep him waiting long. At dawn the next day, the few mortars of the Independence Regiment opened fire on the firepower points exposed by the enemy last night.

Xie Wenbing was terrified when he got the report. Fortunately, he considered this aspect yesterday, otherwise today would be over, but this is also a good thing. If Ye Ting thinks that he does not have a machine gun, he will definitely let the troops charge. big

Thinking of this, Xie Wenbing told the adjutant: "Tell the machine gunner not to shoot first, and wait for them to charge up before firing."

"Yes, regimental commander." The adjutant gave a military salute, turned around and went to convey the order

The independent regiment on the other side of the river did not attack immediately after the shelling, but ordered the soldiers to shoot at the opposite bank

Xu Jishen, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion, who was in charge of the main offensive task, listened carefully to the gunshots from the enemy on the opposite side. Sure enough, there was no sound of machine guns. He happily said to the commander of the Ninth Company Hu, who was in charge of the death squad: "It seems that yesterday's bullets were not wasted. It's much easier for us to cross the bridge without the machine gun."

Company Commander Hu was also very happy, "Since this is the case, we rushed up in one breath."

"Okay, let's cover with fire from behind, be careful," Xu Jishen instructed the brave general under his command
