Chapter three hundred and fortieth found the flock
At the end of March at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, the weather was still cold, but under the cold east wind, there was more rain. The rain brought life to the once dead and yellow mountains and fields. Under the withered yellow thatch, dots of green appeared slightly. Wherever the stiff soil and mountain wind blow, the colors of spring stand out.
In the mountainous area in the northeast of Tonggu County, on a relatively flat mountain road, the sound of "dede" horse hooves sounded, and a dozen tall Japanese horses carrying more than a dozen Japanese cavalry wearing khaki winter clothes came out of the corner. "Hey." The cavalryman at the head suddenly tightened the reins. He raised his horse's front legs and stood still. The other cavalrymen immediately stopped their mounts and stood on guard with their guns. Then one of the cavalrymen carried a pistol on his back. The Japanese captain stepped forward, picked up his telescope and looked at the surrounding terrain.
"Captain Shancheng, Commander, are you too vigilant? Now the bronze drum and Yifeng are both engraved in the hands of the imperial army." A Japanese soldier said to the captain,
The captain did not pick up his topic, but ordered him to shoot somewhere on the mountainside on the left.
The sound of gunfire caused several mountain birds to fly up. The tense expression on the captain's face eased, and he said to a communications soldier behind him who was carrying a walkie-talkie: "Call the chief of staff, we can advance."
The communications trooper complied with the order. Soon, Captain Yamashiro and his party continued to conduct reconnaissance. But not five minutes after they passed by, on the mountainside where a bullet had just been shot, two painted pictures were suddenly found in the dense thatch. With a muddy face, he said, "Fifth Brother, you are still smarter. The little devil obviously did not doubt us." The first person to speak was named Cai Bao. He looked at his companion whom he called Fifth Brother with admiration on his face.
Cai Bao and Fifth Brother are both guerrillas of the Tonggu Guerrilla Brigade. Among them, Fifth Brother, named Cai Duliang, holds the important position of deputy captain. When Cai Duliang chose this place as an ambush, Cai Bao was worried that the target was too obvious. It is easy to be exposed, but it turns out that their choice of here actually played a very good role in confusing the Japanese reconnaissance troops. Those flash birds provided them with the best cover.
After the 3rd Division left the garrison and marched south across the Yangtze River, Li Tieshu, after discussing with Ji Xingwen and Tielin Fei, believed that the air force could be used to carry out air strikes against them to attack their effective forces. They first sent out reconnaissance planes to detect them everywhere. After the detection failed, they then Order the guerrilla troops in various places to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in the unit and report any findings immediately.
As a result, the guerrilla columns and guerrillas from various parts of Hunan and Jiangxi that were dormant in the mountains became active one after another and began to set up ambushes on various possible road sections in an attempt to detect the traces of the 3rd Division.
Cai Duliang didn't seem to hear Cai Bao's flattery, his face looked solemn, and he said softly: "You must report to Commander Chi immediately, it should be the reconnaissance unit of the Little Japanese Army just now."
"Should we wait and see, it may not be the 3rd Division."
"No, I have a hunch that it is the 3rd Division." Cai Duliang narrowed his eyes and said with certainty: "It must be reported immediately, otherwise if the kid enters the town, the air force will not be able to bomb. I will contact the people behind now. Ergou, you continue to monitor here. Every time the number of Japs exceeds one thousand, you will knock down a message tree. If the number exceeds three thousand, knock down all the trees. Pay attention to safety." After saying this, he rubbed his body into the thatch. , and soon disappeared among the yellow and green mountains,
A quarter of an hour later, in the mountains about fifteen kilometers east of Tonggu County, in a cave that Chi Guanxing used as a temporary headquarters, Chi Guanxing immediately became excited after receiving the intelligence from the previous monitoring point, " Let the brothers in front immediately find out the size of the Japanese army." He ordered to Chief of Staff Lu Shengquan: "Issue a rally order, and the guerrillas around Tonggu will immediately march towards Shihuajian Township, NND, this time we want to eat meat."
As a former commander of the Jiujiang security force, Chi Guanxing was once incorporated into Ye Zhao's guard regiment and became a company commander of Ye Zhao's guard force after helping Ye Zhao cross the river to attack the 10th Division. After withdrawing to Guangzhou, the General Political Department gave him two choices. One was to continue to follow Ye Zhaoqian, and the other was to study in a military school and then appoint him separately. Chi Guanxing was very discerning. , decisively chose the latter, so after studying in the military academy for a period of time, it happened that the student army began to develop guerrilla forces behind enemy lines in the Hunan and Jiangxi regions. He took the initiative to ask for orders and was appointed as the commander of the guerrilla column in northern Jiangxi. With ten Members of Yu Xinghuo's brigade and a group of old subordinates returned to Jiujiang. The Xuebing Army began to plot to regain Jiangxi. The guerrilla units of the Xuebing Army throughout Hunan and Jiangxi received orders to assist in operations. Chi Guanxing was promoted to another level and became The commander-in-chief of the guerrilla forces in the border area of Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei suddenly expanded his troops to nearly 5,000 people.
With more men and guns, Chi Guanxing became more ambitious. He always planned to use his strength to win a big victory. So after receiving the new order from the headquarters, he began to plan to use the air force to attack the 3rd Army. The division came for an ambush, and he also followed Fox Thirteen's example of using guerrilla troops to beat up the elite division of the Japanese.
Chi Guanxing was extremely enthusiastic and confident about ambushing the 3rd Division. Lu Shengquan once advised him to be cautious, but in the end he was infected by his fierce fighting spirit. Chi Guanxing convinced him with one sentence: "Little Lu, do you still want to be a guerrilla for the rest of your life?" This is fatal. Before Lu Shengquan joined the student army, he went to Langya. If he can't even join the regular army, does Langya still have hope?" Do it." He replied with one word at that time,
With passion and motivation, Chi Guanxing's order was immediately passed on, and soon, in the vast mountainous area centered on Shihuajian Township, groups of guerrilla armed forces numbering nearly a thousand, hundreds or even less than a hundred began to take action. , they walked out of the woods, mountains and villages where they were hiding, took the mountain road and quickly advanced towards Shihuajian Township. A net against the 3rd Division was slowly being woven,
Since the Xuebing Army went north for the second time, Ouyang Yun began to plot to regain the entire territory of Jiangxi and even Jiangnan. Therefore, after actually gaining control of Ganzhou, the Xuebing Army Headquarters intended to establish a front-line airport in Ganzhou. , Under the auspices of Li Tieshu, the airport had completed the site selection and foundation work as early as the end of last year. Now, as the Jiangxi Liberation War begins, their precautionary action immediately received miraculous results, , the combat order of the General Headquarters As soon as the order was issued, the retired military engineering company affiliated to the General Headquarters immediately stationed in Ganzhou and completed the construction of the airport in just one week. The completion of this airport meant that the Xuebing Army Air Force only needed one hour to complete the construction of the airport. It only takes more than half an hour to arrive at the Madang battlefield and provide support to Yichun. In Ouyang Yun's words: It's really awesome.
Another half hour passed, that is, around 10:50 in the morning, Cai Duliang sent back more accurate information. The Japanese troop strength exceeded 3,000, and it was definitely the 3rd Division.
After receiving this information, Chi Guanxing's eyes were so bright that they could almost shine. He was on his way to Shihuajian Township on horseback. When he heard the report, he immediately asked the telegraph operator to call the preset radio station and reported that the sheep had been spotted according to the previously agreed report.
, and attached the place name code, "NND, this time I want to eat a lot of meat." While controlling the horse to gallop, he said to Lu Shengquan,
