In Zunyi, a famous city in northern Guizhou, several members of the Political Bureau, including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Bo Gu, Zhang Wentian, Wang Jiaxiang, and Chen Yun, gathered together in the Bai Huizhang Mansion on the east side of Pipa Bridge.
Due to the appearance of Liu Yimin, the channel meeting was relatively successful, and Mao Zedong had become the de facto commander of the Red Army. In addition, after moving to Guizhou, the Red Army achieved a series of victories. Within the party and the Red Army, there was a request to summarize the experience and lessons of the five counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns.
The loud voice prompted Bogu and others to have a certain understanding of the harm caused by their mistakes. The ideological understanding that led to the fierce struggle at the Zunyi Conference in history was unified, and the conflicts were relatively eased. Therefore, after the Red Army occupied Zunyi, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai,
Zhu De, Zhang Wentian, Wang Jiaxiang and others' proposal to convene a central meeting quickly received everyone's response.
Several people discussed it and decided that in addition to the members of the Central Committee who were accompanying the army, leaders of several main army corps would also participate. Bo Gu would make the main report on behalf of the Central Committee, and Zhou En would make the deputy report.
Mao Zedong suggested that Comrade Liu Yimin, commander of the Central Guard Division, be allowed to attend as a non-voting delegate. Mr. Zhu immediately supported it.
Bogu thought for a while and said: "This Liu Yimin is indeed good. What he said in the passage made me think about it all the way. It is thought-provoking! I agree."
Mao Zedong ordered to inform Liu Yimin that after the fighting was over, he quickly led his troops across the Wujiang River to attend the meeting.
Liu Bocheng reported: "Liu Yimin and the others have implemented radio silence and are temporarily unable to contact them. They are probably ready for battle."
Wang Jiaxiang said worriedly: "Those are the elite of the Central Army. There are eight divisions in total. I don't know how many people the guard division will be able to return after this battle."
Mao Zedong was smoking a cigarette and looking into the distance.
Zhang Wentian said: "Old Mao, I don't understand military affairs, but is it too risky to fight eight divisions with one division?"
Zhou Enlai said: "Comrade Luo Fu, I believe that Liu Yimin will not fight an uncertain battle. He will not fight the enemy head-on. He will definitely seize the opportunity to take a bite and leave. This Liu Yimin has never been defeated in any battle since he joined the Red Army. I
I believe he will bring us surprises."
Mr. Zhu said: "It's useless to worry, and it's impossible to withdraw. Since the Central Revolutionary Military Commission agrees with his battle plan, let him let him go. Although the overall strength is very different, it is better to be prepared than unprepared.
There should be no problem in hitting his front. I remember Comrade Chen Yun came back and said that the equipment of the guard division is much better than that of the main force. Each battalion has two mortars. I think Xue Yue may cry this time."
Mao Zedong threw away the cigarette butt: "It all depends on people. Xue Yue is not a trivial person. If he is not allowed to suffer some hardships, he will not know the bravery and invincibility of the Red Army. However, he still ordered the troops controlling the ferry to prepare for the response. The three armies headed towards the Jingkou of Wujiang River.
Approaching, the Ninth Army Corps is approaching from Suiyang and Meitan towards the Wujiang Ferry, ready to cross the river to fight and meet the guard division. Enlai, Mr. Zhu, and Comrade Bogu, what do you think?"
Bogu hurriedly said: "I don't understand military affairs, you decide."
Mao Zedong saw that Zhou Enlai had no objection, so he said: "Please give the order, Mr. Zhu!"
At this time, in Qingxi Town, Zhenyuan, the Central Guard Division was making intense pre-war preparations.
A company of engineers pulled up four ropes up and down the Wuyang River. The top two ropes were used for hand support and the bottom two ropes fixed the pontoon. Fortunately, there was a dock and a boat here. The boats were arranged sideways, connected with ropes, and planks were laid.
, that’s it. So the pontoon bridge was built very quickly, and the artillery battalion and heavy machine gun battalion, including the mules and horses carrying heavy weapons, quickly crossed the river. Before leaving, Liu Jianshe specially asked Luo Yan for a few scouts, and then asked Luo Yan for a few scouts.
I hired two guides and asked them to explore the road from the other side of the river to Yangping Town.
Wu Zheng led several cadres from the Logistics Department, including Yang Wei, Ling Kun, Chen Zixu, Li Zongrui and Tang Xingying, to organize a stretcher team in the town. At first, the people hid in their houses and did not dare to come out. A few people went door to door to shout.
, doing work. Later, when they saw the requisitioned boats and planks, the Red Army paid according to the price, and the masses opened the door. Fortunately
There are many workers here, so it doesn’t take much trouble to organize a stretcher team. We chopped bamboos and cut them in the middle. Two bamboos can be used to make two stretchers. Tang Xingying was so happy that the corners of her mouth were smiling, and Chen Zixu joked.
He said that if Xue Yue's division commander had met Tang Xingying, he would probably have surrendered without having to fight this battle.
When the artillery battalion went to the other side to establish a position, forty soldiers were left behind, led by Ding Zhuodong, deputy instructor of the artillery battalion.
Ding Zhuodong is from Shandong. He was recruited by the National Army at the age of 17 and was promoted to platoon leader based on meritorious service. He later studied in the artillery department of Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou. After the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising, he interrupted his studies and joined the Red Army in the Soviet area. At the beginning of the Long March, he served as the Artillery Battalion of the Military Commission.
Company Commander. When the Military Commission Artillery Battalion participated in the Xinwei Interdiction Battle of the 5th Red Division, Ding Zhuodong was injured by a Guangxi Army artillery shell, leaving him with
He was rescued by Liu Yimin at the Xinwei Battlefield Rescue Center. Because he was slightly injured, he joined the 18th Regiment during the reorganization by the Xiangjiang River. This man had an oval face, a full forehead, small eyes, a pair of 400-degree glasses, and a straight nose.
His lips are slightly thick and his cheeks are slightly sunken, making him look a bit thin. Putting on casual clothes, many people would think that he is a teacher.
Yesterday afternoon, when the artillery battalion commanders Li Chang and Zeng Zhao were tinkering with gasoline barrels, he was there. When he asked Li Chang, he learned that it was the division commander who asked him to develop new weapons. Ding Zhuodong studied artillery and was very interested in improving artillery.
I was very excited as soon as I heard it. The three of them tinkered with it all afternoon, and finally got it done. They took it outside the city and tried it. Damn it, anything works, even if it's far away.
Too close. Li Chang put aside what Liu Yimin told him. Zeng Zhao and Ding Zhuodong figured it out after thinking about it. It was because the amount of gunpowder was too small. Now it was easier to handle. Just increase the amount of gunpowder. Try again.
After trying it twice, I was very satisfied. I selected 40 soldiers to do the operation test, and the soldiers quickly mastered it. No, they were recruited today.
Ding Zhuodong led the soldiers to dig a hole in the woods 100 meters away from the road, lined up more than a dozen gasoline barrels, and installed brackets. Then he cut down the trees and bamboos that blocked the shooting boundary, and used branches to camouflage them.
The infantrymen at the back didn't know what they were doing with these oil barrels. They thought it would affect their view and asked them to move away. Ding Zhuodong said mysteriously: "You will know how powerful these guys are when you open them. This is what the division commander asked Engineer Zeng Zhao to do.
The new weapon we developed took us an entire afternoon to test before it was successful."
In this way, the flying thunder cannon of our army that shocked the enemy made its grand debut 13 years ahead of schedule.
He Mingliang led the Third Company of Engineers to run along the mountain path for more than two hours before arriving on the road east of Yangping Town. Seeing that time was running out, he ordered the Third Company Commander Hu Xijun to act quickly. The soldiers shoveled the
Put the snow aside, dig a big hole every 30 meters, bundle several explosive packages together, connect the leads, and separate them with small wooden boards.
On the top, put stones and soil on top to make it solid. He Mingliang and Hu Hujun checked each pit one by one. They felt that they couldn't find it by walking on it, so they asked the soldiers to cover it with snow and use branches and bamboo tops to smooth it. Take a look.
When he was ready, He Mingliang led his soldiers to bury the wires and retreated to the woods on the hillside to wait for the enemy's arrival.
Li Lingfeng led the second and third platoons of the sniper company up the hill behind Qingxi Town. He estimated that the enemy's leading troops were two divisions, and there must be at least two search teams, so he divided the troops into three teams.
He led two squads to ambush in the east end, which is close to the direction of the enemy's coming. Second platoon leader Zhao Zhiyu led two squads to ambush in the middle.
Platoon leader Wang Laohu led two squads to ambush in the west end. The order of operations was stipulated that Wang Laohu's team would attack first. If the enemy's first search team had a large number of people, Zhao Zhiyu should support Wang Laohu in time. He must capture the victims alive and find out the enemy's contact method.
. Unsure after thinking about it, he arranged for the fourth squad leader He Shan, who was good at digging traps, to lead the soldiers to set traps on the mountain paths.
At 11:30 noon, Luo Yan reported that the disguised reconnaissance personnel discovered that the enemy search team was searching along the mountain peak towards Qingxi Town. At 12 o'clock, Luo Yan reported that two enemy search teams had passed through Yangping Town.
Search along the mountain peak towards Qingxi Town.
Liu Yimin immediately ordered the entire regiment to hide and ordered Li Lingfeng to prepare for battle.
At 12:10, Luo Yan reported that the enemy's leading company had passed Yangping Town. At 12:30, Luo Yan reported that the main force of the enemy's leading two divisions had arrived at Yangping Town.
Zhao Yonggang was a new soldier who joined the army in Tongtong. At that time, he failed to assassinate the county magistrate of Tongtang and was imprisoned in a cell. After the Red Army rescued him, out of gratitude, he signed up to join the Red Army. Li Qingyi, who was responsible for expanding the Red Army
Asked, knowing that Zhao Yonggang was a man with a complicated life experience and a skill in throwing knives, he recommended him to the sniper company. Liu Yimin came to the sniper company.
When the company inspected the training situation, they found that he was not only good at throwing knives, but also had a high level of shooting with short guns, and was particularly good at close combat. He gave him a few pointers on fighting techniques, which opened Zhao Yonggang's horizons. Now, he is with the platoon
Changwang Huhu was lying in ambush on the hilltop behind Qingxi Town, staring unblinkingly at the east end of the mountain in the direction where the enemy's search force might come.
Zhao Yonggang and his comrades were very skillful in their ambush. They took advantage of the dense trees and bamboos to sweep away the snow in their lurking position, and then used branches and bamboo tops to cover them. It was very hidden for people to hide inside.
You can't even see it up close.
The enemy finally appeared. There were about 30 people, led by an officer. It seemed that the enemy was very cunning. He had to stop after walking for a while, and he raised his binoculars to observe what was going on around the top of the mountain and on the road down the mountain, and in the town. See if the enemy finally left.
He reached a place 10 meters away in front of him. Going further was the trap set by He Shan. Zhao Yonggang quietly took out the flying knife.
Zhang Hu, captain of the search team of the 59th Division, was a scout, and his habits developed during long-term battles made him very cautious every time he went on a mission. When he set off from Yuping County at 8 o'clock this morning, the division commander personally called him there and repeatedly
He told him to be careful and careful, not to miss any clues, and if there is no problem, send the signal again, and never make the same mistake as the Hunan Army again. So he was very serious along the way, and would rather walk slower than
Let go of any suspicious points.
Seeing that they had arrived at Qingxi Town, they stood on the top of the mountain and observed carefully for a while. The town was normal. The binoculars showed that all the shops were open, and the chimneys of the steel plants were still smoking. Zhang Hu stopped and started talking.
A signal was sent to inform the search team of the 93rd Division behind and the leading company of our own division to advance.
Just after sending the signal and about to lead the brothers to move forward, a brother next to him fell into the trap. Zhang Hu stepped forward and took a look, damn, what bad luck. It turned out to be a trap set by a hunter. He was probably planning to hunt the black blind man.
It was a kind of big animal, with sharpened bamboo poles stuck in it, which stabbed the unlucky guy to the core.
Zhang Hu said: "Brothers, keep your eyes open and watch the road carefully. Don't let yourself fall down again."
The brothers gathered around to take a look, and all gasped. One brother boldly said: "Captain, there is no football situation. Let's go down the mountain and take the main road. Didn't they say that the Red Bandits are in Zunyi? We can't scare ourselves."
If we keep going like this, I'm afraid I'll send our brothers to hell without seeing any trace of the red bandits."
Zhang Hu's eyes widened: "Fuck you, if you talk nonsense again to shake the morale of the army, I will kill you! The master has an order. After this mission is completed, rewards will be given based on merit. Do you have any grudge against Dayang?"
The brother who spoke fell silent, and the other brothers stopped talking.
Zhang Hu thought for a while and then said: "Brothers, I'm going to treat you when we get to Zhenyuan County. It's a famous flower world on the border of Hunan and Guizhou. There's enough wine to drink and meat to eat. Women, hey, brothers, you can do it yourself."
You paid for it!”
The brothers got agitated, laughed and started talking dirty words.
As soon as Zhang Hu saw that his words had an effect, he immediately straightened his face: "Shut up, don't talk. Let's go!"
As soon as he took two steps, he felt a white light in front of his eyes and hurriedly lowered his head. It was still too late, and the flying knife was accurately inserted into his throat. Zhang Hu didn't even have time to say "ah" and slid to the ground.
The soldiers who were about to set out saw the captain lying limply on the ground. They thought they had encountered another trap planted by the hunter, and hurriedly gathered around to check. When a few more alert ones saw the flying knife still stuck in the captain's neck, they immediately shouted:
"The enemy is attacking, disperse quickly!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. Wang Laohu led two squads of soldiers and rushed forward like a whirlwind. They were all masters. No one used guns. They basically used daggers and bayonets. There was only a burst of pops and pops. Thirty or so
Half of the enemy fell.
A soldier picked up the gun and pulled the bolt. He was faster, and the throwing knife was faster. Before he could pull the bolt, the throwing knife was inserted into his chest. He glanced at the throwing knife, and as soon as his hand loosened, the gun fell to the ground.
On the ground, people immediately lay down.
The other soldiers looked at the menacing looks of these people and raised their hands obediently.
Twenty minutes later, the same scene happened again at Li Lingfeng's place. The only difference was that more enemies surrendered.
After receiving the signal from the search team, the enemy's leading company no longer had any scruples and quickly arrived at Qingxi Town along the road.
Everything was normal in the town. When the national troops came in, the residents fled in all directions. The enemy company commander thought to himself, this is a remote area after all, and when the national troops came, they didn't know how to organize a welcome. Forget it! Don't care about such unruly people.
Turning around, he ordered the dispatcher: "Send a report to the division headquarters. Our leading company has entered Qingxi Town and everything is normal."
After saying that, regardless of whether the telegraph operator had finished delivering, he led a group of soldiers to a restaurant and sat down. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of hot tea. Grandma, I'll be exhausted from walking all the way."
Already."
The shopkeeper agreed and went to make tea. The enemy company commander looked up and said, wow, this little shop is not that good, but the boss's girl is very pretty. She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall.
The curved eyebrows and the eyes are as pure as spring water. It's a pity that I have a mission, otherwise I have to pluck this flower. It can't be done. If you are addicted to your mouth, you can always be addicted to your hands, right?
The enemy company commander walked up to the little girl in two or three steps and said, "Whose daughter is so handsome? Is there any one you can find from your husband's family? Let me see. I will find you a high-ranking official to be your concubine tomorrow. She is very popular."
"Drink something spicy." He stretched out his hand and directly touched the girl's face.
Before his hand could reach the ground, the enemy company commander glared, raised his hand, and stepped back step by step, because the little girl who had been standing there with a low eyebrow just now suddenly had a small pistol in her hand, and the muzzle of the gun was
Aiming at the enemy company commander's forehead.
The enemy company commander thought as he retreated, it's over, I met the red bandit, I asked why this small restaurant has such a beautiful girl, it turned out that the red bandit set up a trap to make money for himself. There were no brothers behind him to take action, I guess
Just like myself. Damn it, I just sent the safe telegram to the division commander, and this thing happened here. The person who did this job was the lead company, and he was taken care of by the red bandits so easily. He is a coward, and he is not convinced! I guess he is not convinced.
The guys in the search team ended up the same as me. Who asked them to send out a signal that everything was normal, so that they and their brothers were deceived!
In fact, the enemy company commander was not at a disadvantage at all. It was Wu Zheng who designed this plan, Zhang Yicheng, the chief of staff, and Zhang Hongtao, the leader of the Second Guard Regiment. The person who pretended to be a little girl was Tang Xingying. Who are these people? So,
A few years later, when this company commander was bragging to others, he would always say that you are nothing. I remember that I was captured by Wu Zheng, Zhang Yicheng, Zhang Hongtao, and Tang Xingying. Do ordinary people have that kind of luck? Or I.
So awesome!
In fact, at this time, the bosses of every shop in Qingxi Town were all cadres and soldiers of the Second Regiment. Even if the enemy company commander did not enter the small restaurant, he would be captured when he went to other shops. But he could not see Tang Xingying.
This is just the most beautiful female soldier of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
After the enemy's leading company was eliminated, the Fourth Battalion of the Second Regiment quickly established a blocking position at the entrance of Qingxi Town based on the terrain. Two mortars and heavy machine guns from the original fire support company of the Fourth Battalion were also deployed.
The battalion and attached troops were all deployed on the hillside beside the road at the entrance of the town. Everything was ready, Zhang Hongtao climbed behind a stone wall at the entrance of the town, holding a telescope to observe the road, muttering "Come on, come on, come on".
, Central Army, come and serve!
Finally, the enemy's main marching force appeared in the telescope. Zhang Hongtao immediately turned around and ordered to the correspondent: "Notify me, no one is allowed to shoot unless I shoot!"
