[69 Book Bar-www.] Chapter 124: The fishing boat sings late
Poyang Lake is one of the four largest freshwater lakes in China. It is also the first. It is a seasonal lake with obvious seasonality. When rainfall is abundant in summer, the water level of the lake increases and the water storage capacity increases, forming a vast mist and fish boats.
Busy scene singing late.
During the dry season, there will be scenes of gurgling streams and lonely women swimming with poles. The lake will also reveal large swaths of tidal flats and isolated islands.
Only large areas of reed marshes are still full of life no matter what season it is. Reeds have also become the source of life and reliance for thousands of households.
Since Zhou Yu trained as a navy, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought in the Poyang Lake water battle, and Li Liejun launched the "Second Revolution" in Hukou, etc. The water-related industries around Poyang Lake have become increasingly prosperous.
The suppression does not stop.
Especially after the People's Liberation Army captured the Yangtze River, under the instigation of the Kuomintang agents, the landlords and local tyrants around Poyang Lake who insisted on being enemies of the people, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled, and the brave and ruthless ones started to fight again.
They were snared and formed into gangs. Under the encouragement of dreams, relying on the vast reed swamps and mountain barriers, they continued to fight against the newly established political power, killing people in all corners of the country and children in all directions. They committed all kinds of evil.
The first person to take a fancy to this place was Fang Tian, the chairman of the Jiangxi Province of the Kuomintang. He believed that the geographical environment here was extremely conducive to fighting against the gcd and fighting to the end. The lake was wide and the reed marshes were dense and wide, which was convenient for guerrilla operations.
The lake is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, with branches extending in all directions from the lake, roads, and harbors. The lake is densely covered with reeds and is full of islands. If you retreat, you can hide, and if you attack, you can threaten the supplies and traffic safety on the lake and the Nanxun Railway.
So Fang Tian organized the armed forces from various factions such as the special agent Zhou Yonglun and the county magistrate Jiang Boxin into the "Fifth Column of the Anti-communist Youth National Salvation Army of the National Defense Ministry". Military special agent Li Fengchun was appointed as the commander. Relying on Hucha, half of the country's forces were formed.
.
This Li Fengchun had a complex experience and a changeable career. He was a major general of the Kuomintang regular army. After his appointment, he recruited 193 branches of the Broad Sword Society and 114 branches of the Yellow Crane Society. The number of people reached more than 5,000 at one time.
In key strategic places such as Poyang, Duchang, and Pengze, many strongholds have been established in mountainous areas and facing lakes, and countless network cables have been deployed.
Jiang Shuirou led his troops into Jiangxi Province at the end of June 1949. They came to the Jiujiang Military Division. They exchanged information with the tough commander of the military division.
They carefully exchanged opinions and rough plans for the battle. As the focus of the intelligence, Jiang Shuirou knew the names and general characteristics of the main Kuomintang personnel here, as well as their usual areas of expertise.
Before leaving, Jiang Shuirou entrusted the commander of the Jiujiang Military Division to inform the commander of the Jiangxi Military Region that he had already come to report that because of tight time and heavy tasks, he had to go back to draw up a battle plan. He would no longer go to the Jiangxi Military Region.
After exchanging contact information, Jiang Shuirou returned to the army station and convened the combat staff to formulate a battle plan.
In view of the characteristics of Poyang Lake, the rainy season is coming in the Poyang Lake area, which is a favorable season. When the rainy season comes, the water level will rise, and the tidal flats and islands will be submerged. The hiding places of lake bandits will shrink.
There will be nowhere to hide.
1. It is impossible for lake bandits to live in the lake. They will return to the shore.
2. Li Fengchun is a native of the Poyang area. He is familiar with the terrain and has a strong love for the countryside. He will not move far away from this area.
3. He is very familiar with the mountains, rivers, lakes and ports around Poyang Lake and will rely heavily on this place. This is also the paradise where he thinks he will make his fortune.
4. He is the mastermind of the Ninth Route Army. As long as he is captured alive, the bandits will be leaderless, which will be conducive to the encirclement and suppression of the bandits. The task can be completed in a very short time. The other bandit capitals will be here.
Not very familiar with it.
Based on the intelligence analysis brought back by Jiang Shuirou, the combat staff roughly circled the scope of Li Fengchun's regular activities: Poyang, Duchang, Pengze, Yangxin, Shimen Street, and Shishan, which was not a large area.
But according to Li Fengchun's habits, he is still familiar with things on the water. So first force him to land and completely clear the lake surface so that he loses his strengths.
After formulating the plan, Jiang Shuirou immediately reported it to the Jiangxi Military Region, requesting that a large force be sent to follow the special forces to take over the encircled and suppressed areas, and guard them tightly to prevent the bandits from entering the encircled and suppressed areas again. Everything was arranged.
The troops began to take action.
Jiang Shuirou led the troops and took action immediately. He led the troops on a covert and urgent march to Jinxian County. After a day's rest, he contacted the Jiangxi Military Region and informed him that he would start on July 15th, from south to north, to sweep every lake surface.
place.
Jiang Shuirou handed over the lake surface to Ruan Bailang and the mixed special operations force, riding 100 assault boats and four gunboats. The ground was divided into four roads and handed over to Langya, Cheetah, Shadow Wolf, and Cobra respectively. They were a mixed formation.
It has complete functions and specialties. It moves forward from the land to the lake.
Due to lack of information, Li Fengchun, like Hu Erhai in Chaohu, despised Jiang Shuirou's bandit suppression troops. Seeing that they were few in number, he divided them into land and water for simultaneous encirclement and suppression. The troops were scattered, thinking that this was a taboo for military strategists. They could defeat them individually.
.
I also saw that the bandit's boats were moving forward with hand oars, and the speed was extremely slow. It was a good time to attack. Suddenly, hundreds of boats, large and small, poured out of the lake and surrounded the bandit suppressing troops.
The encirclement that I saw was shrinking. Suddenly, I saw the charge boat of the bandit suppression troops moving like a rabbit. It suddenly accelerated, cut across the lake and jumped out of the bandit's encirclement. It then surrounded the bandit's boat from the outside. It kept squeezing inward.
.
The heavy machine guns and artillery on the gunboats struck them head-on. The four gunboats were like four deadly scythes moving on the water, and four moving fortresses. They kept harvesting the bandits' ships. Suddenly, the water surface was dyed red.
The planks of a broken ship float on the water.
The bandits who fled to the land were shot back to the lake with submachine guns. The corpses everywhere made the bandits frightened. Where did the troops come from? How could such a small number of people be so powerful? The firepower was too powerful. There was no way to fight this battle.
They were beaten. They all raised their hands and surrendered.
Only Li Fengchun and a few personal guards and bandit leaders escaped again by using their familiarity with the terrain.
Jiang Shuirou immediately conducted a surprise interrogation of the key members of the bandits and obtained a large amount of first-hand information. Especially important, they obtained the list, occupation, and residence of the people lurking in important towns around the lake. There are also three people lurking within our military government.
list of spies.
Based on the list, the Jiangxi Provincial Military Region immediately carried out an arrest operation and captured a large number of key bandit elements in one fell swoop. Li Fengchun immediately lost his informants and cut off the source of intelligence.
