Chapter 252 The plan leaked (2)
Yuandun Mountain, which is more than 200 meters above sea level, is located at the junction of Yushan County, Jiangxi Province and Jiangshan County, Zhejiang Province. The winding mountain road connecting eastern Ganzhou and western Zhejiang Province winds through the mountain.
Tang Shengzhi, who was riding on a tall horse on the tall horse under the slow hill to the east of Takeuchi Village at the foot of Yuandun Mountain, received a thick stack of telegrams from Qian Dajun. He was shocked and sweated coldly after reading the first one.
This exercise uses the strong to bully the weak. Tang Shengzhi originally believed that victory was within his control. He just needed to mobilize troops step by step. When the army arrived at the main battlefield of Lianhua Mountain, he could use people to waste Wu Ming's new second division to death. Unfortunately, the Blue side did not know how to cooperate with the tactics that were originally sure and tried hard to mess up the celebration banquet for his comeback. Now the Blue side's supplementary regiment has been dispatched. If it takes root at the wind tunnel, as the Red Front's forward, the guard regiment will be separated from the main force as the Chairman's Guard and the Central Military丨Committee's Directly Affiliated Sponsored Forces.
After reading all the telegrams, Tang Shengzhi was even more surprised
During this exercise, the Blue Army's troops participated in the war were not the supplementary brigade of the new recruits, but the most elite first and second brigades of the New Second Division. According to Yu Jishi and Chen Cheng, there is no one in the army with the mountain combat capabilities of the New Second Division, so you can imagine how powerful its combat power is.
Now, the spy company directly under the New Second Division has come straight to its artillery units. The spy company of the New Second Division has become famous since the Lushan exercise. If they target their own artillery regiments, the situation will not be very good.
After reading the telegram, Tang Shengzhi began to think about the cards in his hand.
The Red Army's exercise troops are now mainly composed of three parts:
The vanguard was the Chairman's Guard and Military丨The Commission's Direct Special Forces, and the Guards were all Chiang Kai-shek's Guards, with a total force equivalent to a three-regiment division. At present, this imperial guards are all hanging alone in the northwest of the Fengkong Teng, confronting the Blue side on the front line of Lianhua Mountain.
The middle army led by Tang Shengzhi himself, among which the two brigades and four brigades of the 45th Division were attacked, followed by the supplementary regiment of the 45th Division, and then the two brigades of the 1st Brigade of the 63rd Division and one brigade of the 2nd Brigade. However, even though it is known as the middle road, it is actually dragged into a long snake formation, and the front line is very wide, extending from Tangbian Town to Xianyan Town, with a distance of more than 20 kilometers from the vanguard.
The troops behind the hall were also divided into three parts, including one of the 2nd Brigade of the 63rd Division, a 2nd Brigade of the 63rd Division, an artillery regiment and a baggage regiment under the command of the Red Army headquarters, and finally two regiments of the 3rd Brigade of the 63rd Division. This part was still on the way to Tangbian Town.
After all, Tang Shengzhi had been in war for a long time. He was already a powerful leader during the Northern Expedition eleven years ago and led hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Hunan Army. The current crisis was nothing to him, so he quickly recovered his composure and issued several urgent telegrams in succession:
First, he asked Feng Shengfa, the vanguard of the entire army, and the 45th Division, which was in the forefront of the central cluster, to rush to the front line of the wind tunnel as soon as possible to meet, seize the high ground, and wait for the subsequent army to arrive, and defeat the Blue side's attempt to split the Red side's troops; Second, he ordered the two regiments behind the Sixty-third Division to speed up to the artillery regiment and the baggage regiment directly under the command headquarters as soon as possible, and escort the artillery regiment and the main force to join.
The Supplementary Brigade of the New Second Division is a large-scale unit formed by Wu Ming to meet his own development needs and to deal with Yu Jishi's possible transfers at any time. Yu Jishi has filed a case with the Military Commission and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and has five supplementary regiments under its jurisdiction. Among them, the Second to Fifth Regiments are currently under the leadership of Deputy Division Commander Long Shaogang and Deputy Chief of Staff Fang Zhibin to build the Zhajia National Defense Fortifications in Northeast Zhejiang. This exercise, as the first regiment formed by the elite troops of the entire brigade, is the location of the storefront of the Supplementary Brigade.
At 7:00 a.m., the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the Supplementary Brigade quietly passed through the narrow path between Lianhua Mountain and Zhugan Mountain, and arrived at Huacun, southeast of Zhugan Mountain at around 10:30 a.m. at this time, the troops had been forcing force for twenty-six hours and were already sleepy and exhausted. The troops were resting at the foot of the Wild Boar Mountain in Huacun, about six kilometers from the tip of the wind tunnel.
At 4:30 pm, all the sleeping officers and soldiers were awakened by the company platoon leaders, and then they began to drink water and eat food. The officers and soldiers of the regiment kept in mind the request and did not make a sound. At this moment, many people heard a loud footstep, from far to near, and it sounded very fast.
From Yueqing, Zhejiang, Zhang Fachun, a soldier who was just 18 years old this year, stood up curiously and took a few steps to a four or five-meter-high rock next to the camp. He climbed up in three or two and stretched his neck to check what was going on. Since there was no alarm sound from the officers and soldiers watching around him, everyone knew that they were from their own people, so the troops were very relaxed.
Teams of officers and soldiers emerged from the north horizon, getting closer and closer, and soon came to Zhang Fachun's side. Then they swiftly passed and continued to advance south. These officers and soldiers were agile, strong and powerful, and had an amazing marching speed. In less than ten minutes, a team of six or seven hundred people passed by.
Looking at the burly and strong figure of the officers and soldiers of this army, the soldiers were very envious. When they looked at their equipment, their saliva was about to flow out.
With a "bang", Zhang Fachun touched his forehead and turned around in anger. He saw the angry black face of the squad leader at a glance.
The squad leader Liu Rui is half of Zhang Fachun's fellow villager. He comes from Wenling, north of Yueqing. He joined the army two years earlier than Zhang Fachun and turns 20 in the second half of the year.
The squad leader said angrily: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and eat, we will have to set off soon."
Zhang Fachun smiled and said to Liu Rui: "Squad Leader, which part of them are they from? They are so awesome... they run so fast, and the guys they use are better than us."
"You have only been in the army for half a year, so naturally I don't know... Those guys are not human at all. How can I say that they cross mountains and ridges like flat ground. They don't need to build bridges across a river that is 100 meters wide. They just swam across armed forces and fight wars. They can deal with more than a dozen soldiers like you, and they are the spy companies under the Guard Battalion of our New Second Division, and the division commander's heart is sharp."
The squad leader turned the soldier's head over and snorted, "Don't look at it, it will be useless to look at it again. If the platoon leader sees it, he will definitely find the right opportunity to add a meal to you."
Zhang Fachun was shocked and dared not look at him anymore. He quickly jumped off the big stone with the squad leader.
Liu Rui said that extra meals refer to extra training in addition to daily training. Zhang Fachun believed that serving in the New Second Division was good, with three meals a day, and eating meat the next day, rice was full, but the training intensity was too tiring. The usual training had already made him complain, and he even had extra meals, which really cost him a life.
The squad leader secretly looked at the platoon leader who was checking the preparations of the troops in the distance, and whispered to the soldier: "Let me tell you, in fact, our platoon leader participated in the selection of the spy company, but unfortunately he was eliminated. Now who is in the platoon leader and the front-end spy company, the platoon leader will definitely get angry."
"ah?"
The little soldier Zhang Fachun was even more surprised. At the same time, he had a little fantasy about this mysterious spy company. What a wonderful thing it would be if he could join in and become one of them.
"Don't be idle, get ready quickly. The task will probably be completed soon. If we are not ready by then, the platoon leader will guarantee us to wear small shoes."
Liu Rui woke up Zhang Fachun in a daze. The two began to organize their internal affairs and maintain guns. The entire camp was orderly and there was no sign of a new recruit.
An hour later, at the foot of the Jianshan Mountain three kilometers southeast of the temporary camp of the first regiment of the Supplementary Brigade, the advancing team suddenly stopped and quickly hid into the dense forest next to the trail for a short rest. The battalion commander of the guard battalion, Lu Kuiyuan, quickly summoned several company commanders and deputy company commanders.
Several people formed a circle, and Lu Kuiyuan pointed at the map that was set up, introduced the situation, and then said with a serious look:
"Brothers, the Sharp Knife Company of the Brigade and the Regiment completed the mission successfully at the cost of zero casualties and performed very well. In this way, the division commander and others could not trust our spy company. If I hadn't made a military order, none of you would come out and stay in the division headquarters as a guard."
"Thank you, battalion commander, for your argument." Everyone thanked with a smile.
Lu Kuiyuan did not laugh and whispered to Lei Yan, Lei Biao, Lei Peng and other company commanders: "The latest news came from the scouts from the front line. The enemy is shrinking their troops, so I judged that the other party will definitely send troops to strengthen the defense of artillery and baggage units. Once they are allowed to complete the assembly, it will be extremely difficult for us to complete the task."
Lu Kuiyuan looked at the watch: "It's five-thirty in the afternoon. We will continue to go on the road after a little rest. We will strive to use six hours to pass through the gap between the Red Army units, walk the thirty-mile mountain road shortcuts, approach the Red Army artillery troops, and then look for opportunities. The division commander has reported to the exercise command center. We strive to attack the Red Army artillery troops at the junction of Yushan and Jiangshan. We are in one step and strive to solve the opponent in the hilly area south of Tangbian Town, Jiangshan County."
"Brothers, we have trained the mountains in the southwest of Jiangshan County before, and everyone is familiar with the terrain. I hope this time I don't give me diarrhea, and we will race against time. If we win, we can successfully remove the enemy's artillery. The rest of the Red Army will be divided into pieces and eaten beautifully as snacks... If we lose, then the military order in the division headquarters is a shame for our guard battalion, especially the spy company."
"Everyone said, are you confident to complete the task?"
"have"
A uniform answer came, and everyone was full of fighting spirit on their faces, obviously full of confidence in this attack.
After a simple mobilization, the two spy companies and the Second Guard Company, who were in charge, quickly set off again and disappeared into the vast forest.
At the same time, the First Resource Brigade was also making the final mobilization before departure on an empty dam at the foot of the Wild Boar Mountain in Huacun. Chen Yanhua, the leader of the First Resource Brigade, shouted at the top of his lungs: "... Victory means running one more step than the enemy, and victory means reaching the tip of the wind tunnel one second earlier than the enemy."
Chapter completed!
