Chapter 023: Surprise Attack on the Ancient Town 1
Chapter 023 Surprise attack on the ancient town 1
When Wu Aihua was reading those time-travel novels, he once thought that if he traveled through time himself, even if his soul traveled through time and became an ordinary person, it would not be as difficult as the gcd army. The first time, I quietly got a gun; then, I found a
If you have the opportunity to attack enemies within three, you will have 4 guns, and you can build a team of 4 people. If you rob a landlord, you can get supplies. In this way, you can train, rob, and fight at the same time. After a month,
There is no problem if the team reaches thirty or fifty people. Because during the war, people have no way to survive. Being able to join a team and have a gun is equivalent to controlling your own destiny!
If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. Wu Aihua is still not worried about supplies. Yu Jianfu, the squad leader of the baggage squad, comes to report: "There are only 1,200 kilograms of food left in the army. Now there are 300 people working together, which is only enough for three days."
!”
"Why is the food consumed so fast?" Wu Aihua really didn't pay attention to this problem.
"The newly arrived Red Army soldiers will have a lot of training and will naturally have a big appetite." Yu Jianfu said.
As soon as Yu Jianfu said it, Wu Aihua remembered that once, Yu Jianfu told Wu Aihua that the rice cooked according to the standard was not enough, so Wu Aihua threw out two words: "add rice!"
"Lao Yu, thank you for your hard work. You can go ahead." Wu Aihua understood that this problem would eventually have to be solved by himself.
"Shenren!"
"arrive."
"Go and inform the cadres above the platoon leader to come to the headquarters for a meeting!" Wu Aihua actually had a general idea, but he still had to seek everyone's opinions on this matter. It was just a matter of collective effort.
"Commander, is there a meeting?" Zhong Shoufu arrived first.
"Yes. Party representative, how is the training for the new Red Army soldiers?" Almost all of the original platoon leaders and squad leaders can serve as instructors for the new members, so after formulating the training plan, Wu Aihua basically became a hands-off shopkeeper.
"It's not bad. These Red Army soldiers have good ideology, good discipline, and train very hard. However, they have a poor foundation. In addition, a considerable number of Red Army soldiers are physically unable to bear it."
"Well, the meeting is just to solve this problem." Wu Aihua said.
After a while, people arrived one after another, and after greeting Wu Aihua and Zhong Shoufu, they sat down quietly. Because they did not know what Wu Aihua meant by convening this meeting.
"Comrades," Wu Aihua looked at everyone who was supposed to arrive, "We are encountering difficulties now. Just now, the leader of the baggage squadron told me that the detachment only has 1,200 kilograms of grain in stock. The detachment now has 300 people. In other words, three
Queen of Heaven, the detachment will be in danger of running out of food!" After saying that, Wu Aihua glanced at Yu Jianfu who was sitting in the corner.
"Ah?" Everyone looked surprised, but they quickly thought about it. Since the commander asked me to come to the meeting, he must have made a decision, so after exclaiming, the mood calmed down.
"Let's think about it, what should we do?" Although Wu Aihua himself has made a decision, he still wants to be democratic first. The main purpose is to cultivate the habit of using our brains.
"Commander, the wilderness survival skills you taught us can be put to use, so that we can consume less food every day." Feng Jianjun, the heavy machine gun platoon leader, was the first to speak.
"This method can be adopted." Wu Aihua affirmed promptly.
"Platoon Leader Feng's suggestion is okay, but it is not a long-term solution. I suggest that we find some local fences to fight. With the current personnel and equipment of the independent detachment, it is not a problem to build a local fence." Reconnaissance squad leader
Zhou Changbing provided a new idea. The commanders of the troops directly under the headquarters must be promoted one level, that is to say, the squad leader is equivalent to the platoon leader, so Zhou Changbing has the opportunity to enter the venue.
"Commander, Squad Leader Zhou's opinion is very reasonable. We should dispatch the troops." Qian Minghui, leader of the 3rd Marine Platoon, supported Zhou Changbing's point of view.
Then, Zhong Shoufu, Lin Xiugu, Li Yanbing, Zhuang Xizhen, Yang Guiqing, etc. all said that the troops could hunt some game, but they also had to hunt for wild animals.
"Okay! Now, I order: First, the special operations squad, reconnaissance squad, heavy machine gun platoon, and land combat platoon are ready to go immediately. In terms of weapons and ammunition, the heavy machine gun platoon only carries two heavy machine guns, leaving two heavy machine guns.
Machine guns guard the base, and the base's 5 light machine guns lead 4 troops away. Second, the second and third platoons of the Marine Corps will guard the base together with the female soldiers' squad, the baggage squad and the soldiers who are training; during the day, one platoon of personnel can be sent to
Pick some wild vegetables nearby; thirdly, when I leave, the representative of the Zhong Party will be responsible for all matters of the base!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison. As for where to fight, these guys didn't ask, and Wu Aihua wouldn't tell. The main reason was of course confidentiality.
Before the arrival of the personnel, Wu Aihua decided to attack the ancient town based on the signs on the "military map" and the intelligence obtained by Zhou Changbing's reconnaissance team.
The ancient town, also known as the "Gucheng Village", was built here during the Five Dynasties. It is located at the junction of Changting, Fujian and Ruijin, Jiangxi. It is 28 kilometers away from Changting County and only 12 kilometers away from Ruijin, Jiangxi. The ancient town is a link between western Fujian and Ganzhou
The transportation artery between the two is an important pass from Fujian to Jiangxi, and it is also the "Western Gate" of Fujian. It has been heavily guarded in ancient times. Among the towns in Changting, the ancient town is famous for its prosperous economy and large flow of people.
It is the material distribution center in the border areas of Fujian and Jiangxi.
At eight o'clock in the evening on November 20, 1929 (October 22 in the lunar calendar), Duan Fenfu, secretary of the gcd county party committee, and Li Guoyu, head of the Tingxi party committee, directly led more than 200 people from the peasant riot team, and joined more than 40 people from the uprising team of the ancient city regiment defense bureau to hold a uprising
During the riot, the Kuomintang intercepted and killed Changting County Magistrate Qiu Yaoli, Public Security Director Guo Ruiping, Judge Zeng Guanqun, Education Director Lin Yongzhang, Juren Zhang Xuanqing, Chamber of Commerce President Xie Zhanghou, Vice President Qiu Hailou, Taxation Director You Nanxuan, etc. On the 23rd, a mass meeting was held
, established the Tingxi Revolutionary Committee. At the meeting, the temporary revolutionary court publicly sentenced the above eight people to death. After the meeting, the Tingxi Revolutionary Committee led the farmers to fight against the local tyrants, divide the grain and wealth, and distributed more than 500 loads of millet. At the same time, the riot team sent people to Tingzhou to punish
After the Fourth Red Army reported victory, Mao and Zhu gave the riot team 15 Japanese-made five-shot cap guns and a yellow-maned horse as prizes. Under the care of Mao and Zhu, the Tingxi Workers' and Peasants' Armed Forces soon developed into hundreds of people.
The Tingxi guerrilla brigade with more than a hundred guns. This is the famous "Ancient City Riot" in history.
After the Central Red Army withdrew from places such as western Fujian, Ruijin and Ganzhou, the National Army quickly seized important strongholds such as the ancient city. According to reconnaissance, the garrison in the ancient city at this time consisted of about 138 troops from a company under Wang Bingzhao's regiment, as well as the "Expelling Communist Regiment"
", the "Returning Regiment", the "Security Team" and other armed forces have more than 120 people, and the total enemy strength is about 260. Due to the important geographical location of the ancient city, this company is specially equipped with a machine gun squad with 4 light machine guns. The national army is in
The two passes into the ancient town, Qinglong Pass and ### Pass, each have a permanent bunker, garrisoned by a platoon of troops, and a light machine gun is installed in each of the two bunkers. Wu Aihua wants to enter the ancient town.
, you must take Qinglong Pass. As for ### pass, as long as you take Qinglong Pass and attack from the direction of the town, you can easily take ### pass.
The number of troops sent out by the independent detachment of the Red Army this time, including Wu Aihua and Shen Ren, totaled only 84. Although the number was only one-third of the national army, the equipment was incomparable to the national army, with 2 heavy machine guns and 4
Each of the light machine guns are standard Hanyang-made, with sufficient ammunition, and melon grenades. In addition, there are two "soldier kings", Shen Ren and Wu Aihua, so there is no problem in taking down the ancient city.
The difficulties in attacking the ancient city are: first, how to capture Qinglong Pass skillfully without alerting the enemies in the ancient city in advance; or in other words, if you are alerted quickly, the enemies in the ancient town will not be able to react. Only in this way can the Red Army reduce their sacrifices;
Second, the entire combat process must be rapid, and the enemy must not have the opportunity to go to Ruijin to ask for help, so it is also very important to quietly win the ### pass. Although Ruijin and the ancient city belong to Jiangxi and Fujian, two provinces, and the national army also belongs to different
However, when it comes to dealing with the Red Army, the current national army and landlord armed forces on the Fujian-Jiangxi border are surprisingly consistent.
Rongshuping base is 20 kilometers away from Changting County and 21 kilometers away from the ancient town. It is exactly in the shape of a triangle. Wu Aihua let the troops have a good dinner and set off on time at 7:30 after the meal. When they arrived 500 meters away from Qinglong Pass, they were
It's ten o'clock in the evening.
Wu Aihua's surprise attack on the ancient town was not a whim. The enemy numbered about 260, had machine guns, and had the advantage of the terrain. They looked very powerful and difficult to fight. However, this was only one aspect. On the other hand, at this time
The national army, including the landlord armed forces, will never believe that the Red Army guerrillas still have the strength to attack the "heavily defended" ancient towns. This is because after the strategic shift of the main force of the Red Army, the national army has always been the one to fight the Red Army, and the Red Army has never been seen coming.
Siege?
In other words, the national army's defense must be relatively lax and their vigilance is not high. This is the advantage of the independent detachment.
Due to the unique terrain of the ancient town and its two major passes, the focus of pass defense is in the direction of Changting and Ruijin. As for the ancient town itself, it is the base camp of the national army. Who would focus on defending the ancient town?
What's the direction?
To conquer Qinglong Pass in the southeast, a frontal attack is certainly possible, but Wu Aihua could not adopt this method this time and had to use a sneak attack.
Judging from the "military map", if you want to sneak attack Qinglong Pass, you must go around to the back and "counterattack" or reverse attack from the direction of the ancient town!
There are two ways to go around to the back. One is to really go around, which is about ten kilometers away; the latter is to climb up from the cliffs on both sides of Qinglong. The former seems to only take a little more distance.
It's very simple, but it loses the suddenness of the attack. Moreover, Qinglong Pass must be captured eventually, because the independent detachment must take Qinglong Pass when returning to Rongshuping base. Otherwise, the independent detachment may face thousands of people.
Tens of thousands of national troops encircled and suppressed.
Therefore, Wu Aihua could only choose the latter, quietly climbing up from the cliffs on both sides of Qinglong Pass, and then controlling the pass with lightning speed, trying not to fire a single shot, and the troops immediately moved toward the ancient town and ### pass.
Assault, only in this way can the combat objective be achieved.
