Turning over the history of the Northern Expedition, it is bound to see the bravery of the Northern Expedition soldiers on the Tingsi Bridge, and if you turn it over, you may look at it more carefully.
Today's small editor wants to talk about the famous Battle of Tingsi Bridge. Keeping our eyes fixed on this text, we will enter the war-torn years together.
01 Beginnings
The Northern Expeditionary Army's offensive completely aroused Wu Peifu's anger, his old face was full of murderous anger, and his angry scolding was often heard in the command post.
At this time, in May 1926, most of Hunan fell into the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was in full swing and continued to march towards Hubei.
Wu Peifu gathered up the remnants of the defeated generals in the front and personally came to Wuhan, and Chen Chongbing was at Tingsi Bridge to fight a major battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army to turn things around.
02 Glue
The Tingsi Bridge was the only way into Wuhan, and the fastest way for the Northern Expeditionary Army to take down Hubei was to remove the Tingsi Bridge in front.
The oil lamps in the command room were lit, and the commanders of the Northern Expedition were discussing the plan of attack.
In the distance, Wu Peifu's soldiers were also running the position of Tingsi Bridge.
Moving the time to the morning of the twenty-sixth day, the sharp knife company of the Northern Expeditionary Army fired the first shot of the Battle of Tingsi Bridge.
A company of Northern Expeditionary Soldiers rushed into the outpost of the immediate army and removed the first stronghold. The mighty war was pulled up in an instant, and the soldiers on both sides began to fire.
The positions of the two armies were separated by a railway, and Wu Peifu placed all the machine guns above the houses of Tingsi Bridge, forming a condescending strafing of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.
The dense rain of bullets made the soldiers of the Northern Expedition charge several times without success, and the commander moved out all the artillery and failed to remove the machine gun positions in front.
The situation of the two armies was stalemate, but at this time, an even worse news came: Sun Chuanfang came to the aid of Wu Peifu!
Such news is undoubtedly a thunderbolt, once Sun Chuanfang's troops arrive, the Northern Expeditionary Army's defense line is likely to be torn apart.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was not well equipped, and although morale was high, it was not confident enough to eat the main forces of the two warlords in one go.
Faced with such a situation, the commander once again fell into contemplation.
03 Breakthrough
"Sir, let me lead the team to rush!" Ye Ting stood up and said.
The chief turned his gaze to Ye Ting and asked, "How to rush?" How can the warriors not die in vain? ”
Ye Ting stood up, looked around at his colleagues around him, and said, "The front can't break through, we can fight from the side, Wu Peifu put the machine guns in front, and the flanks will definitely be their weak points!" Why not just tonight, I'm a striker and everyone is caught off guard! ”
"That's it!" The chief slapped the table and finalized.
Night fell, and the sound of insects was faintly heard, but it was looming.
The warriors in charge of the charge had been assembled, their faces glowing with determination and bravery. Once again, they packed their uniforms and they set off.
The soldiers of the Ye Ting Independent Regiment were at the forefront, and they slowly approached the enemy position at Tingsi Bridge, saw the searchlight spinning, and began to wait with bated breath.
"Kill!" Ye Ting shouted, and then the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army shouted along. The shouts of death were accompanied by the sound of gunfire and cannons, and the soldiers of the Northern Expedition began to charge.
In the face of the sudden blow, Wu Peifu's soldiers had just woken up from their sleep and were just about to get their guns, and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army had already broken into their positions.
A fight unfolded, most of Wu Peifu's soldiers were defeated by the remnants of the previous army, where were the opponents of the regular army? It was almost a rout.
The soldiers of the Northern Expedition were brave and fierce, and drove the enemy out of the Tingsi Bridge.
The battle of Tingsi Bridge also came to an end, and Wu Peifu's location, Wuhan, had fallen into the attack range of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
