Chapter 180 Liu Hui commits suicide
"The first battalion goes up the city wall, the second and third battalions, attack the city." After entering the city, the commander of the 703rd Regiment immediately gave orders.
After the troops of the 703rd Regiment entered the city, the commander of the 704th Regiment, Shu, also ordered: "Pass the order, all troops enter the city."
It took the 703st Battalion of the rd Regiment half an hour to take control of the city wall.
After the 704th Regiment entered the city, Commander Shu ordered: "The first battalion will go to the west of the city to lead the 804th Regiment into the city. The second battalion will set up a defense line in the south city. The rest of the people will follow me to attack the enemy's headquarters in the city."
"Report to the division commander, the 704th Regiment sent a telegram saying that the 703rd and 704th Regiments have entered the South City." The communications officer came to Li Weiling with the telegram and reported.
The telegram was sent by Commander Shu at the Telecommunications Department before the 704th Regiment entered the city.
Li Weiling took the telegram and said happily: "Okay, I hope we can capture Nankang City today."
At the military headquarters in Nankang City, Liu Hui was discussing Yang Wei's intentions with the chief of staff when an officer hurried into the room.
"Chief of Staff, Commander, the South City has been breached and the enemy has entered the city."
"What?" Liu Hui was so shocked by the news that he sat down on his chair.
"What's going on? How could the enemy enter the city from the south? Aren't their main attack directions the east and north gates?"
The chief of staff said helplessly, "Commander, we have fallen into a trap. The enemy is making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. They made us think that they have deployed all their troops in the east and north of the city, leaving the other two city gates unguarded."
"What should we do now?" South City has been breached and Liu Hui has lost his composure.
The 704th and 703rd Regiments were blocked by thousands of Nankang troops on their way from the South Gate to the city center.
On the flat ground, although the Nankang Army was very brave, they suffered heavy losses under the attacks of submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns.
"Throw a grenade."
Under the command of officers from various battalions and companies, grenades were thrown into the crowd, a burst of bombing sounded, and the Nankang soldiers were thrown to the ground.
After defeating the enemy troops that had been blocking their way, they advanced several hundred meters and were intercepted by another troop. They defeated the enemy troops several times in a row, and blood flowed all the way.
The leaders of the 703rd and 704th regiments looked at each other, and Leader Shu couldn't help but sighed: "Although the Nanchuan Army is simple, its courage is respectable and admirable."
The commander of the 703rd Regiment couldn't help but nod in agreement. Compared with the Northern Army, although they were well-equipped, their fighting spirit was very average.
While the 703rd and 704th Regiments were fighting bloody battles, the 704st Battalion of the 804th Regiment had already captured the west city wall, opened the west gate, and let the th Regiment in.
"Brothers, follow me and capture Liu Hui alive." The regiment commander Hu Chengyi said directly without any hesitation.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the officer rushed into the command center in the city again, only to see Liu Hui and the chief of staff sitting in chairs with dejected looks on their faces.
The officer whispered, "Commander, the enemy has also opened up the west city, and the enemy in the south city has already attacked the vicinity of the headquarters, less than a kilometer away from here."
Seeing that the two still had no reaction, the officer could only retreat carefully.
After an unknown amount of time, the Chief of Staff finally broke the silence in the room: "Yang Wei has either surrendered to the enemy or has thought of another way out."
"Surrender to the enemy? Impossible?" Liu Hui didn't believe that Yang Wei would join the enemy.
If he really joined the other side, he could lead his troops into Nankang and take the opportunity to open the city gate, which would then lead to his defeat even more miserably.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Liu Hui laughed at himself: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. There is no point anymore."
After saying this, Liu Hui took out a Browning pistol and placed it on the table beside him.
The chief of staff took a quick glance and knew what Liu Hui wanted to do. He did not dissuade him and also took out a Browning pistol.
It was not until after five o'clock that the 703rd and 704th Regiments finally cleared out the resistance to the south of the headquarters.
The head of the 704th Regiment led his troops into the headquarters compound, where there were no more people. Walking into the headquarters, there were two people sitting on chairs in the hall, their eyes open but dull, and no sound.
"He is quite a character." Captain Shu shook his head slightly, knowing that one of them should be Liu Hui.
It is not yet certain who the two people who committed suicide are, but people will be arranged to identify the bodies later.
After finding the head of the 703rd Regiment, Captain Shu said, "I only have one main battalion here, so I'll stay here. Captain Zeng, please lead the 703rd Regiment to raid the east gate and bring in the division commander."
At this time, the commander of the 804th Regiment, Hu Chengyi, also led his troops to the command center.
"Haha, you two actually took over the command center first. Awesome, awesome." Hu Chengyi smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that no matter how hard he tried, he was still overtaken by these two.
Although he was annoyed, he did not show any unhappiness. After all, if the other party hadn't opened the city gate, he would still be eating dirt outside the West City.
"Captain Hu, we were just talking about welcoming the division commander into the city. Since you are here, you go to the north gate and Commander Zeng goes to the east gate." Seeing Hu Chengyi, Captain Shu put forward his own opinion.
Hu Chengyi had no objection to this, and the 804th and 703rd Regiments quickly took action and headed towards the north and east of the city.
When the two troops attacked from inside the city, the two division commanders on the city wall were a little confused and had not yet reacted.
The battle lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, when all four city gates were taken and the enemy troops in Nankang City were finally cleared out.
Early the next morning, Li Weiling organized his troops to clean up the battlefield, count the spoils, etc., and was busy until ten in the morning.
The chief of staff walked into the headquarters with a smile: "Division Commander, Division Commander Du, the results of the battle have been counted."
"Okay, stop keeping us in suspense and just say it directly." Li Weiling said when he saw the chief of staff smiling.
The chief of staff curled his lips, thinking that the division commander was not humorous at all: "In the battle of Nankang, we killed 7142 enemies, captured 175 prisoners, and seized 5 old sleeve guns, box guns, and Brownings."
The chief of staff then introduced the seized money, food and other supplies, which must be said to be very generous.
"What about the casualties of the troops?" After learning about the spoils of war, Li Weiling was most concerned about the casualties of the soldiers.
The chief of staff looked a little sad: "The Seventh and Eighth Divisions had a total of 1141 casualties."
"Send a telegram to the commander." Li Weiling sighed. He could still accept the casualties, mainly because many Nankang soldiers were very brave. Even though their weapons were backward, they still resisted resolutely.
Most of these prisoners were captured after they ran out of ammunition and food.
After receiving Li Weiling's telegram, Fang Jian naturally praised him. Last year, Zhao Linyu, Wang Zhixian, Li Weiling, Liu Maohang, and Xu Tingen were promoted to official military ranks from major to lieutenant colonel.
Although Li Weiling had made contributions, his suspension time was not enough, and Fang Jian would not easily promote him to a higher position in the military academy.
Now is a time of war, and Fang Jian will not increase the military pay of his subordinates without restraint, otherwise, there will be no more rewards or titles to be given in the future.
Just like the bald government, there were quite a few first-class generals and second-class generals. Some of them held the rank of general from 1935, when the military ranks were officially implemented, to 1949.
The military ranks have not changed. Does this mean that these people have not made any contributions during this period? Definitely not. It is because their military ranks have already reached the limit. What else can you give them?
It's impossible to award the rank of special general.
There is no reward for rewarding. The people above them cannot get promoted for their meritorious service, but they are punished for their mistakes. There is no promotion for them. What else can these people do except to scheme against each other?
Francis would not make the same mistake.
