Chapter 251: Great Victory over the Dwarf Locust Nation Army
After repelling the attack of the Dwarf Locust Army, the Tenth Army defended the positions of the 1003rd and 1004th Regiments of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.
Seeing that the Dwarf Locust Kingdom began to arrange defensive positions, the two captains looked at each other in confusion.
The leader of the 1003rd Regiment wondered, "What conspiracy are these dwarfs planning again?"
"Don't be careless. We just need to hold the western front and not let these dwarfs get out." said the commander of the 1004th Regiment.
In the eyes of the two regiment leaders, the main force was about to surround them, and these small dwarf locust troops did not immediately break out and set up fortifications here. Were they seeking their own death?
No matter what the army of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom was planning to do, the two men intended to remain unchanged in the face of change.
When the positions were half arranged, the 1st, 3rd and 11th divisions of the Nanshan Army came up from three directions and surrounded the army of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.
After losing 3,000 men in the desperate charge, only 9,000 soldiers of the Little Locust National Army were left.
Inside the simple inner command post, Xiao Benyuanxin sat on the ground helplessly, feeling as if he was at the end of his rope.
As the encirclement narrowed, the surrounding Nanshan Army was able to have a full view of the battlefield. After getting to know the Xiaoben Division, the three divisions made some simple preparations and launched an attack on the army of the Small Locust Country.
"For the sake of His Majesty the Little Locust, we must destroy all these new people."
"Occupy the new country and be fearless of death."
"..."
In the final bloody battle, the soldiers of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom behaved even more frantically. They shouted various slogans and fought to the death with the Nanshan Army.
When the two armies were far apart, the Kuomintang army used heavy machine guns to crazily fire at the Nanshan Army, but under the attack of the Nanshan Army's mortars and sniper rifles, the heavy machine guns quickly lost their threat.
When the Nanshan Army rushed in about 47 meters, the army of the Little Locust Country fired rifles one after another. However, under the powerful firepower of the Nanshan Army's AK, the army of the Little Locust Country suffered heavy losses.
As the Nanshan Army approached their position, the soldiers of the Small Locust Kingdom rushed out of their positions without hesitation and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Nanshan Army.
After the three divisions advanced deep into the territory, the army of the Small Locust Country was divided and surrounded by the Nanshan Army. It was only a matter of time before this army was destroyed.
The Nanshan Army had its own advantages and disadvantages in bayonet fighting with the Kuomintang Army.
The soldiers of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom are generally short in height and have short arms. Although their individual bayonet skills are superb, they lack team coordination.
The AK47 rifles used by the Nanshan Army were much shorter than the Type rifles. Although the Nanshan Army still had a disadvantage due to their longer arms, they were not only proficient in bayonet fighting, but also good at coordination.
The three-person group cooperated with each other, with the two on the left and right taking the main responsibility for defense and the one in the middle responsible for attack. With the cooperation of each group, the dwarf locust gradually fell into a disadvantage.
What’s disgusting is that some seriously injured dwarf locust soldiers fell on the battlefield and pretended to be dead, waiting for the Nanshan army to approach and then launch a surprise attack.
They either decisively detonated the grenade and died together, or waited for someone to get close and opened fire. After injuring some soldiers, they reported to Zhang Wei and Xie Yuan, who looked very unhappy.
Zhang Wei said: "None of these wounded soldiers from the Small Locust Country will be spared, and those who surrender must be strictly inspected."
He couldn't be careless towards these crazy little locusts.
The battle lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. The Omoto Division was divided and surrounded by the Nanshan Army and was being eroded bit by bit.
In a central battlefield, Xiao Benyuanxin sat calmly on the ground, with a headband on his head and a white samurai uniform on his body.
Not far from Omoto Genshin, Chief of Staff Hoshino Yachi looked at Omoto Genshin with a complicated expression.
In just one day, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and the entire Xiaoben Division was on its way to its end. How could he not feel complicated?
The army of the Dwarf Locust Country had never fought such a frustrating battle, which made Hoshino Yachi very dissatisfied with Omoto Enshin.
But now that Oburo Nobuyuki has decided to commit suicide by disembowelment, the captain of the division, Hoshino Yachi, has even more complicated feelings towards Oburo Nobuyuki.
With the fierce fighting of the soldiers of the 1st, 3rd and 11th Divisions, the soldiers of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom were gradually eaten away. Most of them were killed in battle, and only a very few surrendered.
Even though they were trapped and fighting, the soldiers of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom still caused considerable casualties to the Nanshan Army.
Inside the Yanping County Command Center, Fang Guoxuan was anxiously waiting for news from the front line.
Soon a staff officer brought a battle report: "Report to the division commander, the chief of staff sent an urgent telegram, the frontline of the dwarf locust country troops have been basically cleared, and the soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield."
"Okay." Fang Guoxuan was in a good mood and took the telegram and started reading it.
After dropping the telegram, Fang Guoxuan ordered: "Send a message to the 10th Division, and have them attack the Northern Army immediately."
Although the Northern Army had 60,000 men, they were not only poorly equipped but also had not undergone rigorous training. They were just farmers who had just put down their hoes and were just a group of mobs.
Fang Guoxuan believed that sending 20,000 troops to attack the Northern Army was enough to defeat it.
The 1st, 3rd and 11th Divisions on the front line had just finished a battle and were very tired. It was not appropriate for them to fight again at this time.
If the 10th Division did not attack, the Northern Army might flee immediately after finding out the battle situation at night. Therefore, Fang Guoxuan decisively sent out the 10th Division to gain some military merit.
As the order was issued, the commander of the 1003th Division, Fang Tianming, immediately ordered: "Let the 1004rd and th Regiments abandon their positions, and the entire army will gather to attack the Northern Army."
"Yes, commander." The chief of staff immediately went down to arrange the operation.
Throughout the whole day today, apart from repelling several waves of attacks by the dwarf locust soldiers, the 10th Division has not achieved much results, which naturally makes Fang Tianming unsatisfied.
Now that Fang Guoxuan has made arrangements, Fang Tianming is naturally very happy.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the assembled 10th Division of the Nanshan Army launched an attack on an army sent by Wu Peisheng that was slacking off.
Under the bravery of the Nanshan Army, the new army quickly collapsed. Under the charge of the Nanshan Army, the Northern Army soldiers fled desperately, and it was time to capture prisoners.
After the army he sent out collapsed, Wu Peisheng received the news, which shocked him.
Seeing Wu Peisheng's expression was not right, Chief of Staff You Guangwei asked, "Commander, what's wrong?"
"The Dwarf Locust Army was defeated by the Nanshan Army." Wu Peisheng said with a tired look.
Since the Nanshan Army has enough strength to fight back against the Northern Army, the outcome of the battle on the other side involving the small locusts should have been decided.
If the Nanshan Army was defeated, it would definitely retreat, so there was no need to provoke them. Moreover, those dwarf locusts would definitely send a telegram to the Northern Army to show off their achievements.
Wu Peisheng was also a decisive person. He ignored You Guangwei's surprised expression and directly ordered: "Send an order, the entire army will immediately move out and withdraw to Sanjiang Province."
"Yes." Although he was puzzled, You Guangwei carried out Wu Peisheng's order very well.
Although the 10th Division acted quickly, Wu Peisheng still escaped with an army, and Fang Tianming felt quite guilty about this.
When all 30,000 prisoners were captured, the Northern Army's base was already deserted.
A part of the soldiers were left behind to clean up the battlefield, and the senior officers had all withdrawn to Yanping County.
Although they won the battle, the Chief of Staff of the First Division, Shao Yunsheng, did not look very happy.
"What's wrong, Lao Shao?" Fang Guoxuan asked with concern.
Shao Yunsheng sighed: "Division Commander, these dwarfs are few in number, but they fight very tenaciously, and they have caused us a lot of casualties."
