Historically, the 18th Red Regiment was encircled and annihilated by the Guangxi Army at Gulingtou on the afternoon of December 1. The Guijun Army immediately pursued the 8th Red Regiment and defeated it. The 34th Red Regiment broke through from Xinwei and got through.
After two days in the mountains, I walked out of the mountains on December 3 and rushed to the Xiangjiang River. As soon as I left the mountains, I was ambushed by the 44th Division of the Gui Army. The political commissar, director of the Political Department and many soldiers died. Although the ambush was successful, the Gui Army was also attacked.
The 34th Division was defeated. It was unclear whether the 34th Division was real or not, so it did not dare to pursue too much. When the 34th Division arrived at the Xiangjiang River, the main force of the Red Army had already left the Xiangjiang River, and both sides of the river had been blocked. Other enemy forces learned that the 34th Division of the Red Army was still on the east bank, and swarmed in.
At that time, the Red 34th Division was unable to cross the river and planned to return to southern Hunan to fight guerrillas. After several battles, the army was divided into three groups. Chen Shuxiang led more than 1,000 people to Guanyin Mountain again, where they were attacked by militia groups, and then the army was gradually eliminated.
Due to the appearance of Liu Yimin, the artillery battalion of the 44th Division of the Guangxi Army was bombed, the supply camp was captured, and the two main regiments of the 24th Division of the Guangxi Army were annihilated. One of the two divisions commanded by Xia Wei of the 15th Army of the Guangxi Army lost two main regiments.
One lost a lot of firepower and ammunition and baggage. The Gui army failed to completely eliminate the 18th Red Regiment. Instead, the 18th Red Regiment and the 34th Red Division were united. As one went, the 34th Red Division and the 18th Regiment gained sufficient strength.
supply, and withdrew from the battle early. It can be said that the current Red 34th Division is the best equipped among the Central Red Army. It is the only first-class main force with sufficient food and ammunition and heavy firepower composed of mortars and heavy machine guns.
The Eighteenth Regiment also got a chance to rise from the ashes. The fate of these two heroic troops had been quietly rewritten by Liu Yimin.
After more than an hour of forced march, Liu Yimin led the vanguard company to the vicinity of Fenghuangzui. Hearing a burst of gunfire in the distance, Liu Yimin immediately shouted: "The whole company is in combat formation. Wang Dahu led a squad with Gui.
In the name of the 24th Division of the Army, we went to the front to search to see what troops were fighting the Red Army."
Wang Dahu agreed and ran forward with a group of people who exceeded the team.
On a small hill near Fenghuangzui Ferry, hundreds of soldiers from the Shao Communist International Division are blocking the enemy. This high ground is not high, just a small dirt bag, which is very unfavorable for defense. These soldiers from the Shao Communist International Division turned out to be
They had already arrived at the ferry, and the main force of the division had crossed the Xiangjiang River. When it was their turn for the rearguard troops to cross the pontoon bridge, the defeated troops of the 8th Red Army surged in and pushed them aside. At this moment, the enemy's plane blew up the pontoon bridge.
They were left on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. When they discovered that the pursuit troops of the Hunan Army had arrived, the soldiers, led by the battalion and company cadres, quickly occupied the hillock. Before they had time to build a position, the Hunan Army began to attack.
We have repelled two company-sized attacks by the Hunan Army. Many enemy corpses are lying strewn on the hillside. The Red Devils of the International Division of the Communist Party of China have also suffered heavy casualties. Only 300 of the more than 500 people can fight now.
There were many people, and the battalion commander who originally organized the troops to block the attack also died. But everyone knew that they could not retreat even if they wanted to at this time, because there was no way to retreat, with the roaring Xiang River behind them.
The heavy machine guns of the Hunan Army started shooting again. The bullets were like wind, making the soldiers unable to raise their heads. A Red Army cadre shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Pass this down, don't shoot when the enemy is less than 50 meters away, save money."
Bullets, aim and shoot." The order was passed down from soldier to soldier.
The enemy came up, and it was completely dark. It looked like it was another company.
At this time, the soldiers of the Hunan Army all believed that the commander said that the Red Bandits came to western Hunan to occupy territory, grab land, and rob women. Only by eliminating the Red Bandits could they save the Hunan people's Hunan. Therefore, the morale was very high. In addition, in recent days,
These Hunan Army soldiers were already red-eyed with the excitement of victory and the desire to see the ocean. Who knew that after pursuing all the way to the ferry, they were repelled by a group of child soldiers twice in a row. Which is unbearable? If you can't even see what's happening in front of you.
This group of child soldiers couldn't beat them, so what was the reputation of the Hunan Army? Therefore, the Hunan Army, which was angered by the red brats, rushed towards the hillock with the subordinate officers leading the charge.
We are close, we are close, we are about to charge up the hill. The company commander of the Hunan Army shouted proudly: "The Red Bandits are dead. Brothers, whoever rushes up first wins the prize. Go ahead!"
At this time, the word "hit" was heard from the Red Army position, and a volley was fired at the charging troops of the Hunan Army. The enemy company commander staggered, his face was in disbelief, and he fell to the ground. A soldier shouted in panic: "No.
Okay, the company commander is dead!" When the soldiers of the Hunan Army heard the shouting, they stopped and looked in the direction of the shouting. When a cadre on the Red Army position saw this situation, he shouted "Throw a grenade!"
He picked up a grenade and threw it over. The grenade that followed dissipated the vigor of the Hunan Army soldiers. The soldiers turned around and ran towards the starting position.
The enemy commander who was watching the battle on the Hunan Army's position sighed and cursed him as a coward.
The chief of staff hurriedly came over and said: "Don't be angry, members of the group. The Red Bandits can hardly hold on any longer. We organize our troops to shoot at them for a while, and they will have no more bullets. There is no need to waste our strength for a group of babies."
The enemy commander waved his hand and said, "Go and make arrangements. They can't escape anyway. Wait a while and our large troops will come up."
When the leading soldiers arrived near the ferry, the Hunan Army was shooting at the Red Army. It seemed that the Red Army could no longer hold on, and the gunfire was very sparse.
Wang Dahu and the first squad came back, and brought back a national army liaison officer. Wang Dahu reported to Liu Yimin that they had figured it out, and it was a regiment of the Hunan Army that was chasing the Red Army.
After saluting, the liaison officer of the Hunan Army said that they were subordinate to General Liu Jianxu of the 28th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. A large force was chasing the main force of the Red Bandits near Jieshou. Their division was ordered to pursue the Communist Army's Baby Division. After fierce fighting along the way, most of the Red Bandit Baby Division retreated.
. Their regiment pursued the rear guard of the Wawa Division here. The main force of the division was encircling and suppressing the remnant bandits at Jieshou Ferry, but they had not come up yet. The remnants of the Red Bandits at Fenghuangzui Ferry were hit hard by our air force. The pontoon bridge crossing the river had been blown up, and the remnants of the Red Bandits were on the riverside.
Hesitating and wandering, their regiment was fighting with the remnants of the Red Bandits' Wawa Division. The regiment leader asked the friendly forces to immediately join the battle and attack the Red Bandits together.
Liu Yimin thought to himself, damn it, hurry up and hurry up, it's still too late. The Red Army's follow-up troops were bombed by the enemy on the Xiangjiang River, and the tragedy of bloodshed still happened. The top priority was to eliminate this Hunan army, and Jiang
How much can we save from the collapsed Red Army? Thinking of this, Liu Yimin said, we are the 24th Division of the Fourth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, coming from Xinwei. The cooperating 44th Division is still encircling and suppressing the main force of the 34th Red Army in Xinwei.
We pursued the 18th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Communist Army all the way, and after successive fierce battles, we have completely eliminated the enemy. We are the vanguard, and the main force will arrive soon. Go back and tell your regiment commander that as soon as our main force arrives, we will launch an attack immediately.
The liaison officer of the Hunan Army said happily: "Okay, after the Red Bandits are eliminated, our regiment will treat the brothers to a drink!" Then he saluted and left.
After a while, the 101st Regiment of the Red 34th Division dressed in the uniforms of the Gui Army came up. Liu Yimin, Director Cai Zhong, and Regiment Leader Su Daqing decided to join the enemy in the name of the Gui Army and immediately attack and eliminate this Hunan Army.
The Jianbing Company and the 101st Regiment formed a battle formation and quickly ran towards the Hunan Army position. The commander of the Hunan Army thought that the Gui Army was coming up, so he rushed out of the temporary command post excitedly, waving his pistol and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements are coming up.
Don't let the friendly forces underestimate us, charge forward and kill all the red bandits. Charge forward."
A whole regiment of Hunan troops immediately took action. The soldiers straightened up and launched a charge under the leadership of the officers. It seemed as if there was an ocean of white flowers in front of them, and if they rushed slowly, they would be overtaken by the Gui army.
The gunshots on the Red Army position are getting weaker and weaker. It is obvious that the red devils are running out of bullets and have reached the end of their strength. At this time, all fools know that the Red Army cannot withstand it anymore. As long as they work harder, they will be able to charge forward soon.
They went up to the Red Army position to hand over their guns and capture prisoners. The Hunan Army soldiers' eyes turned red, and they rushed forward screaming.
The Gui Army brothers who rushed up from behind started shooting. Unfortunately, the targets they shot were the charging Hunan Army brothers. At such a close distance, there was almost no need to aim, machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, and shell guns all came at them one after another. Firepower
It was so dense and continuous. Soon, grenades and bayonets were also coming. Those who were charging forward, those who were defending in place, those who were crawling on the ground preparing to pretend to be dead dogs, etc., all the Hunan Army soldiers immediately came from the approaching
In the joy of victory, they fell into the ice cave where they had been trapped. The huge contrast and the dense bullets fired from behind allowed them to fully experience a free luxury tour from heaven to hell. Many soldiers did not even have the chance to look back.
No, he just fell down in the pain of the bullet tearing his body apart. Even the posture when he fell was so neat and uniform, basically chewing mud with his mouth, as if he was being inspected by the God of Hell.
It was another perfect sneak attack. Unlike the two regiments of the 24th Division of the Gui Army, the Gui Army fell facing the Red Army. This time the Hunan Army fell with its back to the Red Army. The commander of the Hunan Army did not understand it until his death.
, why did the Guangxi army shoot at them? Are these Guangxi soldiers going to fight with the central government again?
The huge change also shocked the Red Army soldiers of the International Division of the Communist Party of China who were struggling to support themselves on the blocking position. There were basically no bullets in their guns and their grenades had been used up. How could the soldiers who were ready for glorious sacrifice...
Unexpectedly, the white dogs behind the Hunan Army's charge formation would suddenly shoot at their own people, and the firepower was so powerful that they left no gaps. Seeing the Hunan Army's charge formation falling down in rows, the soldiers suddenly woke up.
, this is the arrival of our own Red Army team, which is disguised as enemy troops and conducting a sneak attack. The little soldiers, crying with joy, rushed out of the position, shouting slogans of "charge, take prisoners," and rushed towards the Hunan Army on the opposite side.
go.
The battle ended quickly. The Hunan Army regiment pursued all the way. When they arrived at Fenghuangzui Ferry, there were only about 1,500 people. Except for more than 300 people who saw the opportunity and surrendered their guns early and became prisoners, the remaining 1,200 people were all killed. The leading soldiers of the Red 34th Division who participated in the battle
The company and the 101st Regiment still suffered zero casualties. Captain Su Daqing happily punched Liu Yimin a few times and shouted: "Fighting with your kid is really fun."
However, Liu Yimin felt unhappy. He thought that this battle had no technical content at all. It was purely a dirty trick from behind. The Hunan Army had no chance to fight back and could not show off the combat effectiveness of the Iron-Liu Guards of the Red 34th Division who had just replenished their weapons and ammunition.
By the time Division Commander Chen Shuxiang and Political Commissar Cheng Cuilin arrived, the battlefield had been cleaned up. The 100th Guards Regiment quickly organized troops to occupy nearby blocking positions.
Liu Yimin accompanied Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin led the 101st Regiment, the 102nd Regiment, the 18th Red Regiment and the newly formed heavy fire company to escort the prisoners and the wounded and sick to the ferry. As far as the eye could see, the gray colors of the Red Army were floating everywhere on the Xiangjiang River.
The corpses of the pontoon bridge had been blown up, and the bridge deck was full of corpses of the Red Army. Groups of scattered Red Army troops stood in the cold wind, not knowing what to do. Liu Yimin told Chen Shuxiang that these scattered troops should be reorganized immediately.
, wade across the river on foot, otherwise the enemy will catch up immediately and the consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Shuxiang asked Liu Yimin how he knew that the Xiangjiang River could be forded alone. Of course Liu Yimin could not say that he knew from later research that the Fenghuangzui ferry section of the Xiangjiang River at this time could be forded alone. In fact, during the Battle of Xiangjiang River, the Jieshou Ferry was too deep to be forded alone, and
The Fenghuangzui Ferry can be wade on foot because of the wide water surface. Unfortunately, the Red Army did not know this at the time, and it was impossible to measure it under bombing by enemy planes. Liu Yimin had no choice but to reply that he had sent soldiers who knew how to swim to test it. The water was chest deep and could be crossed, but the river was very dangerous.
cold.
After Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin discussed it, they immediately ordered the 101st and 102nd regiments to change back into Red Army uniforms. The 101st regiment took the lead in crossing the river, followed by the 102nd regiment and the newly formed heavy firepower battalion. After crossing the river, they contacted the remaining troops. If they could not contact them, they might be blocked by the enemy.
, the 101st Regiment must control the key points on the left, and the 102nd Regiment forcibly controls the key points on the right. The newly formed heavy firepower battalion is under the command of the 102nd Regiment, and the chief of staff moves with the regiment, ready to block all incoming enemies and cover the entire division crossing the river. The political commissar leads the division
He immediately reorganized and dispersed the troops at the ferry, interrogated the Hunan prisoners, and organized the sick and wounded to cross the river. Division Commander Chen Shuxiang himself followed the 100th Regiment at the rear and acted as the rearguard of the entire division.
Liu Yimin hurriedly asked what the tasks of himself and the Jianbing Company were. Chen Shuxiang replied that the Jianbing Company was temporarily merged with the 18th Red Regiment to form troops immediately. He could also select people from the Red Army who stayed at the ferry and replenish weapons and ammunition from the captured equipment to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
As the reserve team of the entire division, Director Cai Zhong moves with the 18th Red Regiment and acts as the political commissar.
Liu Yimin thought to himself, the Communists of this era are really Communists. The soldiers of the leading company are themselves the elite of the Red 34th Division. Under his leadership, they became the sharp knives of the entire division in less than a day. Commander Chen Shuxiang
Without saying a word, he was incorporated into the 18th Red Regiment. You must know that the 34th Division is under the 5th Red Army Corps, and the 18th Red Regiment is under the 6th Division of the 3rd Red Army Corps. Liu Yimin was so moved that he almost shed tears and hurriedly asked the division commander and political commissar,
The chief of staff, director of the political department and heads of delegations saluted one by one.
Captain Su Daqing saw that Liu Yimin was still saluting, so he said, "Okay, we are all Red Army, why are you so polite? But your boy has created two firsts for our Red Army: one is that you won four battles and four victories on the same day you joined the army, winning with less."
, with fruitful results, the Red Army ranks first; the other is that he was promoted three times in one day, from recruit to platoon commander to company commander to acting regimental commander. His promotion was so fast that he ranked first in the Red Army and probably the world as well. Work hard.
Win more battles."
Liu Yimin slapped a salute: "Promise to complete the task and live up to the expectations of the leaders!"
Chen Shuxiang shouted: "No mother-in-law, mother-in-law, act immediately!"
When they parted, Liu Yimin told Captain Lu Gongyin of the 102nd Regiment to try to find a rope. After crossing the river, pull up two ropes. If more ropes can be found, pull up two ropes on both sides and two ropes on the bottom to remove the injured person.
A large cart was laid out with wooden planks to build a simple pontoon bridge. If the rope could not be found, the soldiers were asked to take the leggings, connect them together, pull up a rope, and let the soldiers hold on to the rope to cross the river.
