Qingliu and Ninghua easily captured it, which suddenly brought the position of the independent detachment's outer field troops closer to northwest Fujian. Moreover, right on the border of Jiangxi, the independent detachment only needed 12 hours of forced march to reach Jiangxi.
Beyond Shicheng County are Ningdu, Ruijin, Huichang, Guangchang, Yudu, Ganzhou, and Xingguo. Anyone who is familiar with the early revolutionary history of the Red Army knows these place names. This was the main area of activity of the Central Red Army at that time.
This provides the outside field troops with a choice: Should they take advantage of the situation and invade Jiangxi?
The reason why this is a multiple-choice question is because when the old Red Army veterans of the independent detachment came to see Wu Aihua in the past few days, they put forward the idea of "going to Jiangxi and restoring the Soviet Union" in Wu Aihua's ears.
Wu Aihua himself also feels that entering Jiangxi is also a choice!
It’s hard to decide!
One afternoon on the 27th, Wu Aihua locked himself in the room alone and kept drawing on the paper with a pen: What are the advantages of entering Jiangxi, but attacking from all sides? A large population? There is really no advantage at all. Because of the invasion
Entering Jiangxi will definitely be ambushed from all sides. As for the advantage of a large population, the economy of the old base area has been greatly weakened. Big cities, even medium-sized cities like Ganzhou, don't even think about it. Even if they are captured,
Wu Aihua will not stick to it either.
In the end, Wu Aihua made the decision to continue fighting in Fujian!
In the early morning of March 28, the outside field troops of the independent detachment began to attack Yong'an! Wu Aihua also ordered the inside troops to send a battalion to attack Liancheng!
At 5 o'clock in the morning on March 29, after a day of forced march, the main force of the independent detachment on the outside began to attack Yong'an. It only took an hour to occupy Yong'an County!
At 9 o'clock in the morning on the same day, the internal troops, led by political commissar Zhong Shoufu, captured Liancheng County. At 7 o'clock that night, the internal troops sent a company to capture Pengkou Town, a transportation hub south of Liancheng.
On the same day, Wu Aihua left a company to form the Yong'an Guard Battalion in Yong'an. The main force went south along the Xinqiao River, attacking all the way. Along the way, the militia groups either fled or were wiped out! They arrived at Heping Town, north of Zhangping, that evening.
On March 30, Wu Aihua led the main outside force of the independent detachment to easily capture Zhangping, completely annihilating a reinforced company of the 1st Regiment of the 4th Brigade, and pointed the sword directly at Longyan, an important town in western Fujian!
The defenders of Longyan were Zhong Qiquan of the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Brigade. Zhong Qiquan had the same background as Zhang Liansan in his early years. They both struggled in the beard troops and later became successful. Zhang Liansan died on Gulangyu Island, which deeply touched Zhong Qiquan.
He had a premonition that the death of the brigade commander was not a vendetta, but a red bandit who suddenly appeared in the mountains of Changting. If he could eat a whole group of He Guoxiang without making a sound, what was impossible?
He robbed and killed Zhang Liansan and his entourage. Therefore, after he confirmed that Zhang Liansan was dead, Zhong Qiquan had already begun to abdicate. But at this moment, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government sent a message, instructing all the garrison troops in western Fujian to refrain from chaos.
We are waiting for further instructions from the National Defense Commission.
Therefore, Zhong Qiquan, who was stationed in Longyan, was trembling and frightened, as if walking on thin ice! In the temporary 4th Brigade, He Guoxiang was known for his "bravery", while Zhong Qiquan was known for his "caution"; too much bravery means recklessness, and too much caution means courage.
Xiao, these two people have completely opposite personalities.
Originally, the independent detachment's attack on Zhangping was very sudden. It can be said that during the battle, except for leaking the information through telegrams and telephone calls, no one could have brought the news out. However, Wu Aihua's luck seemed to have run out. Early that morning,
The enemy company commander stationed in Zhangping sent someone back to Longyan to deliver a message to the regiment headquarters. Because the matter was urgent, the correspondent was required to return that day. Therefore, the two correspondents rode two horses and set off before dawn. After leaving the city three miles away, one of the guys
He was going to take something from his relatives to Longyan, and asked another guy to wait for him on the roadside. Who knows, that guy's relatives had to cook him a bowl of egg noodles before he was allowed to go on the road.
So we delayed until almost dawn.
At this moment, a sound of "boom, boom, boom--" came from the direction of Zhangping. When the correspondent heard it, wasn't it the sound of an artillery shell exploding? What should I do? The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "Let's go back and take a look.
It depends on the situation. If Changping is occupied by red bandits or someone else, we can report it to the regiment leader."
"Don't go back. We can see the situation in the city when we climb up the mountain!" The other guy was timid. He was worried that if there was a war, he might not be able to escape.
The two climbed up a mountain and had a panoramic view of the situation in Zhangping. There were explosions and smoke everywhere. Although they were three miles away and could not see specific people, they could clearly see groups of people.
It is moving, and it is moving from the edge of the city to the center of the city.
"Let's go quickly, the red bandits must be attacking the city!" one of them said immediately.
The two guys rode horses and ran to Longyan. When they saw the regimental gate, they shouted, "Oh no, the red bandits have captured Changping!" At this time, the time was 11:30 in the morning.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Qiquan received the information, but he did not believe it. He asked to call Zhangping immediately and asked the Longyan Telegraph Bureau to send a telegram to Zhangping. In this way, after another half an hour, Zhong Qiquan was unable to contact Zhangping.
"Report: Fujian Provincial Government and Provincial Party Headquarters, Zhangping was attacked by unknown forces today. Telegraph and telephone calls are blocked. It is suspected that it has been occupied by the enemy. We hereby report and await instructions! The Army has temporarily established the 4th Brigade and 2nd Regiment Zhong Qiquan."
At 1 p.m. on March 30, Wu Aihua was about to order the main force to attack Longyan when he received a telegram with the word "Moscow": "Longyan Zhong Qiquan has reported the news of the fall of Changping to Fujian Province, and Fujian Province is working with Changping.
Contact Changting, Liancheng, Qingliu, Ninghua and other counties."
"Fuck!" Wu Aihua cursed secretly. He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's lack of defense to "sweep" a few more places and capture more soldiers. Now, the good days are over!
"Commander, the troops are very tired and should rest. Otherwise, when the enemy reorganization division comes over, everyone may not be able to run." Seeing that Wu Aihua was unhappy, Deputy Chief of Staff Fu Lin enlightened.
"Okay! In the last battle, take Longyan! The whole army will be reorganized and trained!" Wu Aihua also knew that sooner or later the national army would understand that these places had been lost; besides, it was impossible for the independent detachment to turn into a fat baby in one bite.
"I agree. In addition, I have asked the reconnaissance company to send a platoon and a radio to go out to Longyan for reconnaissance! Do the troops rest on the spot for half a day?" Fu Lin asked for instructions again.
"Okay. Take a rest for half a day!" Although Wu Aihua does not feel tired, the soldiers will. Besides, there are now many "liberation fighters" in the army. They have never experienced walking more than 30 kilometers a day before.
Although the principle of equality between Red Army officers and soldiers allowed them to see that the Red Army commanders were running on two feet just like them, the human body always has a limit.
At 7 p.m., Wu Aihua suddenly received a telegram from the Longyan reconnaissance platoon: "Zhong Qiquan abandoned Longyan at 5 p.m. today and fled toward Zhangzhou. Our reconnaissance platoon followed the enemy's rear baggage troops and took the opportunity to eat up an enemy company and capture a certain amount of baggage!"
"Commander, I think the troops will start immediately and seize the opportunity to capture Longyan!" The deputy political commissar saw an opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it.
"Okay! Order the reconnaissance company, the special operations company, the 1st machine gun battalion, and the 1st artillery battalion to form the Longyan legacy detachment and set off overnight! Bring all the mules and horses, and be sure to arrive at Longyan before 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.
And take the opportunity to capture Longyan. Let the advance detachment be led by Deputy Political Commissar Comrade Cheng Liang!"
"Yes, Commander!" Cheng Liang has wanted to fight for a long time, but with the commander present, battlefield command and other matters have nothing to do with him. Although Long Yan can win with a raised hand, he is the leader of the team after all.
"Commander, now that the number of troops has increased, are you considering expanding it again?" After deputy political commissar Cheng Liang left happily, deputy chief of staff Fu Lin suggested.
"I am also considering this issue. However, we currently have too few mountain artillery, so it is difficult to improve the level of the troops! How about asking Military Affairs Councilor Wang Bingzhao for his opinion during the march tomorrow?" In Wu Aihua's view, if there is no 75mm
Mountain artillery, he really doesn't want to form a regiment-level unit.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the third-level city of Longyan. The host will be rewarded with 3,000 merit points. The host's total merit points have reached 32,444 points, and the system has been upgraded to level 4!" At 11 o'clock in the evening, when Wu Aihua had fallen asleep, the system suddenly said.
"Upgraded? Level 4? Capture Longyan? What do you mean?" Wu Aihua was completely awakened by the system! Capture Longyan, are you kidding? It took Deputy Political Commissar Cheng Liang and others 4 hours to walk, and the distance from Zhangping to Longyan is 35
Kilometers, if there are three or five people, it is very likely to reach Longyan, but it is a force of nearly a thousand people, how is it possible?
"Damn it! It can't be the platoon sent out by the reconnaissance company, right?" Wu Aihua thought for a while, in Longyan, only the reconnaissance platoon is his own strength!
"Commander, telegram: The reconnaissance platoon has occupied Longyan! We are required to send troops there quickly!" the communications adjutant knocked on the door and reported outside.
"Okay. Call back to the reconnaissance platoon: The reconnaissance company, the special operations company, the 1st machine gun battalion company, and the 1st artillery battalion company will arrive at Longyan at 5 a.m.! Also, let the reconnaissance platoon pay attention to their own safety!" It was really sleepy and met the pillow, it turned out that it was really true.
What a good job the boys from the reconnaissance company got up to!
This is definitely an unexpected surprise! Remember that in history, the Japanese army can capture a county in North China with one squad, and one platoon of your own troops can capture a city. This combat power and "merit" can also be compared with the Japanese army.
A fight, right?
"Oh, by the way, what good things will there be when the system is upgraded to level 4?" Wu Aihua, who was happy alone, finally remembered that the "merit system" had been upgraded!
