Chapter 523: Three steps, one plan, five steps, one plan
Wuliping, Hefeng Mountain in Western Hubei Province, is located at the northern foot of the majestic and vast stretch of the mountain. Smoke curls from the wooden towers in the forest, the murmur of the creek is the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the green bamboos shade the scenery. It is like a paradise on earth.
This small town, which is 180 kilometers away from Enshi in the north and less than 100 kilometers away from Sangzi County in western Hunan in the south, is bursting with cheers and laughter. Hundreds of men in different clothes are surrounding hundreds of captured rifles and rifles.
Seven light machine guns, excitedly talking about the battle that severely damaged Zhang Fakui's 4th Division yesterday evening.
There is a semi-old square table under the tall mulberry tree that looks like a canopy in the town. A man in his thirties with a square face, a tall nose and a neat mustache is lying on a cool bamboo chair, smoking a pipe and looking at the many people on the sunbathing floor who are happily playing with new styles.
Czech machine gun
and the soldiers with German-made rifles. He smiled from ear to ear. After smoking a pipe of cigarettes, he sat up and laughed. He took the gift from a 24- or 25-year-old young man at the same table wearing a gray cloth uniform of the Revolutionary Army.
Tea bowl, "Gulonglong" and took two sips:
"Tie Min, where is Chief of Staff Duan? Why has he not been seen for so long?"
The young man known as Tiemin, whose surname is Wan Mingtao and whose nickname is Tiemin. Although he is young, he is already the deputy secretary of the Western Hubei Special Committee. He refilled his beard with tea and laughed in a low voice:
"The comrades from the provincial party committee who went to the east entrance of the town to see off Yichang are expected to come back soon. Commander He, do you think Zhang Fakui will come to take revenge soon?"
"No, I know Zhang Xianghua's temper best. Even though he looks fierce and murderous, he is still very shrewd in his work. He must be scared after being beaten in pain this time. How can he dare to enter this unfamiliar mountain again?
Ah? The motley crew of the Hubei Army he commanded seven days ago
The fifth brigade was knocked out of two battalions by Ge Laohui, and one regiment commander also lost his life. Even if he didn't feel bad, he should feel bad when we killed half of the regiment in an ambush yesterday, right? He couldn't catch his breath for ten days and a half.
, Haha!" Commander He easily picked up the tea bowl and continued drinking tea.
"Look, Secretary Zhou and Chief of Staff Duan are back. They are leaving in a hurry. They must have something important...Jisheng, come quickly and bring two tea bowls." Wan Tao turned to the guard and shouted loudly, and the guard quickly brought two
A coarse porcelain sea bowl was placed on the table, and tea was poured for Zhou Yiqun, political minister and secretary of the special committee, and Duan Dechang, chief of staff, who had just sat down and were sweating profusely.
Commander He's sharp eyes saw the new pistol on Duan Dechang's waist at a glance. He reached out his hand unceremoniously, pulled out the gun, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed fondly: "This gun is very good! The American Colt is still brand new.
Yes, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek has given Zhang Xianghua a lot of benefits, so he is so dedicated."
"Beard, you have to look carefully. There are no foreign inscriptions on it."
Zhou Yiqun put down the bowl and took off his military cap, approached Commander He, pointed to the number on the gun and the Qingtian Bairi badge pattern: "You see, below the Qingtian Bairi star are the English letters of 'Jiangnan'. This gun is a replica of Nanchang Arsenal.
,9mm caliber,bullet capacity
Eight rounds, look here... there is a dragon engraved on the handle of the gun. This is a gift gun specially made by Jiangnan Factory. If it weren't for the school officer, he wouldn't be able to get it. It's a pity that the school officer took advantage of the chaos and escaped disguised as a soldier. Dechang wanted to do this
I’m still sulking and scolding the third regiment commander so hard, haha!”
Commander He smiled at Duan Dechang who was drinking water: "Dechang, how many guns have been captured?"
As soon as Duan Dechang heard this, he immediately put down the bowl, quickly snatched the gun back, stuffed it into the exquisite black leather holster on his waist, stood up and opened the stool, moving away from He Jun: "As soon as I heard what you said,
I know I’m going to do something bad, so it’s safer to stay away from you.”
Everyone laughed when they heard it was funny. After laughing, Zhou Yiqun explained: "There are more than a dozen shell guns. How many such good guns can there be? This is the only one! Unless next time we deal with Chiang Kai-shek's direct descendants from Huangpu
Troops, I heard that all the battalion commanders and above of Yin Jinan’s 16th Division in Yichang are all Colts, and all the officers and soldiers in his several hundred-person spy battalion are all armed with this kind of gun, and each man has one, so rich!”
Commander He put on his pipe tobacco and asked with a smile: "Dechang, isn't that Yin Jinan your junior brother in the fourth phase of Huangpu? You can just go to Yichang and ask him for a few, and take this gun from your waist."
Lend it to me for two days."
Duan Dechang replied "Don't think about it", then put away his smile and said very seriously: "Commander, I was about to report to you the movements of the Sixteenth Division of Yichang. Old Liu from the Provincial Party Committee hurriedly came and then left, saying that Yin Jinan
Cai
Shaohua's Second Brigade suddenly attacked Badong three days ago in the afternoon and surrounded the Western Hubei Shenbing Gong Laoliu and more than 700 people. The battle ended in just over half an hour. Gong Laoliu is still detained.
In the Badong military camp, the original
All the captured troops of Huang Shiquan, one of Liu Xiang's subordinates, were captured. Qi Yishan, Gong Laoliu's sworn brother, was shocked to hear the bad news. In anger, he led more than 1,100 brothers in Feilong Cave to draw talismans and drink divine water all night, carrying Daguandao and ten swords.
How many doors
The Tusongpao rushed to Badong to rob the prison, but before they arrived in Badong, they were surrounded by two regiments of Cai Shaohua in the Zomagou area in the west of the city. After more than a dozen people were killed by sharpshooters, they all surrendered and were taken to the city and palace.
The sixth child is locked up together."
"Aren't these magic soldiers good at fighting? Liu Xiang, Zhang Xianghua and Fan Xiaoquan have all suffered losses from them before. Why are they so incompetent this time?" Commander He looked at Duan Dechang and then Zhou Yi in surprise.
group.
Zhou Yiqun nodded and said: "The information will not be wrong. Lao Liu said that according to Chairman Chen of the Yichang Chamber of Commerce, my very famous junior brother An Yi had already returned to Yichang from Changde to take charge. The next day, it was reported that Badong was raped by the Sixteenth
News of the occupation by the 2nd Brigade of the Division.
I am very familiar with the colonel and brigade commander Cai Shaohua. He and Dechang were both from the fourth phase of the Huangpu Infantry School. When he was in school, he was famous for being steady, taciturn and resourceful. After the Northern Expedition captured Nanchang, he joined An Yi's independent regiment as a lieutenant and deputy battalion.
Commander and instructor, he followed An Yi to fight in the north and south, and was eventually promoted to colonel commander. Yin Jinan was separated from the independent division and established the Nanchang Garrison Division. Cai Shaohua was immediately promoted to colonel commander of the 2nd Brigade, and he is expected to be promoted to major general soon.
It’s funny to say that Yin Jinan never talked nonsense when he was in Huangpu. In the second period, I only knew An Yi and Zhang Tianyi. I didn’t know this Yin Jinan at all. Now it seems that this guy is not easy to deal with.
Judging from the fact that he quietly captured Badong and successfully surrounded Qi Yishan with more than a thousand people, this guy is brave and resourceful and is a formidable enemy!"
"Don't tell me, you really can't underestimate the people who come out of the model camp, otherwise you will suffer a big loss against them."
Commander He sighed, lit his pipe and took a deep breath, then asked: "Dechang, you, An Yi, Yin Jinan, and Cai Shaohua are all from the fourth phase of Huangpu. Please tell us about their situation."
Duan Dechang introduced with a smile: "Needless to say, An Yi, this guy's story can be seen in newspapers almost every day. There are also a large number of novels and documentary literature circulating on the market. Everyone knows it. This guy was promoted
It’s too fast. Before the Northern Expedition, he was just a small company commander, but now he has become Chiang Kai-shek’s confidant general. He doesn’t even pay for the old chief He Yingqin’s fault..."
Commander He interrupted Duan Dechang: "We all know these things. This guy An Yi is pretty good. If I had been so wronged, I would be even more angry than him... Haha! Go on, go on!
"
Everyone burst out laughing, and it took a while for them to calm down.
Duan Dechang went on to introduce: "I'm not very familiar with Yin Jinan. When he was in the military academy, he was polite to everyone, but he would blush after saying a few words, like a big girl.
But I heard that this guy has a unique skill, that is, he is very calculating. At the beginning, the engineering department was divided into two district teams, and they competed with each other in everything. However, the second district team never defeated the first district team led by An Yi and Zhang Tianyi.
The reason is that there is Yin Jinan who can calculate people and things down to his bones without revealing anything, such as the workload and schedule of fortification excavation.
Yin Jinan would quickly and accurately calculate the weight of equipment carried by the army, marching mileage, rest intervals, etc. in advance. After swearing to participate in the Northern Expedition from Guangzhou, Yin Jinan, An Yi, and Hu Jialin improved and summarized the formula through repeated marches and actual combat.
A complete set of advanced training methods, and increasingly sophisticated calculations in terms of firepower equipment, combat coordination, etc.
Before the Nanchang Uprising the year before last year, I heard Mr. Zhang Zhizhong and several instructors in Wuhan accidentally talk about An Yi and Yin Jinan, saying that the independent division's ammunition carrying capacity and mortar disassembly and transportation during night marches were accurate to less than one kilogram.
I was deeply impressed by this incident. Later, when I summarized the combat experience of the Model Battalion Independent Division from various channels, I realized that they had
All armies are far behind. Not only the equipment, but also the military capabilities of the officers and soldiers are beyond reach, not to mention that weirdo An Yi who has three steps and one plan and five steps and one plan.
Yin Jinan, who plans everything to the core, and a large group of ruthless people who have grown up, including Hu Jialin, a master of martial arts, and Gu Changfeng, the bandit leader."
Seeing that everyone was listening to his explanation attentively, Duan Dechang nodded happily, took a sip of water and continued to introduce: "Let's talk about the three brigade commanders of Yin Jinan's 16th Division. The first brigade commander Wu Liheng was born a veteran ruffian. I heard that this man was in An Yi
When I went to the engineering company to take up my post, I wanted to give them a slap in the face, but I was beaten so hard that I was admitted to the hospital. Later, I returned to the team in Hunan. This person has combat experience.
He has rich experience, dares to fight hard, and is very loyal and moral. He has a high prestige among the officers and soldiers. It was only after he became the company commander that he began to consciously learn to read. It is said that he is now like Guan Yunchang and reads "Spring and Autumn" every day when he is free.
, this person's first brigade has three regiments with a total of 5,300 people. Each regiment has a mortar battalion. It is the 16th Division with the best equipment and the most veterans, such as
Today, we are stationed in Enshi under the leadership of deputy division commander Ding Zhicheng; Cai Shaohua of the second brigade is calm and has always been famous among Huangpu colleagues for leading troops well and strict military discipline. He is a hound that only bites but does not bark; the third brigade
Brigadier Cheng Junhua is a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, and graduated from the Zhejiang Army Lecture Hall in Infantry. He defected to An Yi during the Fengxin War together with Yang Bin, the current security commander of Jiangxi Province.
Yes, I heard that although this guy studied infantry, he is a first-class gunnery and can shoot wherever he points. Deputy brigade commander Gao Guodong is from Xuancheng, Zhejiang. He is one year older than me and graduated from the fourth class of Huangpu. It is said that Jiang Dingwen has done it several times.
An Yi wants to transfer Gao Guodong to the 9th Division as the brigade commander, but An Yi won't let him go. What makes An Yi value him so much must be a talent, so Yin Jinan's 16th Division is not easy to fight!"
Commander He touched the stubble on his chin and nodded slightly: "Judging from the current situation, An Yi and Yin Jinan have no intention of going against us. Zhang Hongluan's 44th Army in western Hunan has never done business with us frequently. Blushing, An Yi probably reached some agreement with Zhang Hongluan, who has a close relationship. The fifty German rifles and twenty thousand rounds of ammunition sold to us last month are proof of this, and since the Forty-Fourth Army stationed in western Hunan , we have never sent troops to our base areas of Sangzhi and Longshan, Laifeng, and our traffic officers went to Qiancheng to buy sulfonamides and quinine, and they sold them to us with great care. From this, it seems that An Yi is exactly like As the superior said in the telegram, he is not willing to be our enemy, so even if he cannot win over us, he probably will not become an enemy soon."
"Yes, I think so too."
Zhou Yiqun added: "An Yi's security forces in central Jiangxi have controlled the Nanchang area for more than two years. They have never had a conflict with our Communist Red Army. On the contrary, they have close trade exchanges. I heard from the liaison officer of the Fourth Army in Jiangxi that An Yi Yi also secretly gave them two batches of medical equipment and urgently needed medicines. It is probably because of this that his superiors regarded him as someone who sympathized with the revolution and could win over them."
"Dechang, what do you think?" Commander He asked.
Duan Dechang pondered for a moment, shook his head and whispered: "To be honest, I can't see through An Yi. When I met him in Huangpu, he was always polite and polite to everyone. He didn't have any airs and was a good person. He is generous and loyal, and often quietly helps fellow seniors who are in a bad situation. Everyone likes to get along with him, but relatively speaking, he prefers to get together with the seniors in the first and second periods. He has a close relationship with Dai Anlan and Shi Jue in the third period. Very good. Zhang Lingfu in the fourth period, Luo Li, and Li Mi also have a good relationship with him. He is brothers and brothers with Hu Zongnan, He Zhonghan, Chen Geng and others in the first period. Now that he is in his position, a faction has probably been formed. This person seems to be It's incredible that he doesn't care about anything, yet he is always superior to others.
All in all, this guy is hard to explain. Many brothers think he is sinister and cunning, but they still like to talk to him because they laugh endlessly when they are with him, haha!"
Commander He pondered for a while and suggested: "Otherwise, let's find an opportunity to go to Qiancheng and quietly meet with Zhang Hongluan's quartermaster and ask if he can provide us with some of their latest mountain brigade equipment, the 60th Force. Cannons and Czech light machine guns, these two weapons with powerful firepower are definitely good tools for fighting in mountainous areas. If we bring back a few mortars and hundreds of rounds of artillery shells, the Central Army can better retain them when they come to encircle and suppress us. .”
"Huzi, I'm afraid you don't just want to get a few small cannons? Do you want to test Zhang Hongluan's clear attitude from here?" Zhou Yiqun asked.
Commander He nodded: "Exactly, Zhang Hongluan is no longer what he used to be. Not only does he have three main divisions with 15,000 men under his command, he also has two artillery regiments directly under his command, and a local security force with 18,000 men. Headquarters, an arsenal, a power plant, a pharmaceutical factory, and a cement factory have been opened. I heard that last month dozens of domestic and foreign geological experts were invited to search for minerals and coal under the protection of the teaching team. This time they are helping with national disaster relief. An Yi, the director of the Resettlement Committee, has accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees, and his reputation is getting bigger and better, and his merits are getting higher and higher. Even if we want to beat him, we have to consider the political impact, and the situation is getting more and more complicated."
"Report: Secretary Liao of the Youyang County Party Committee is here in person." The guard battalion commander ran to report.
"Oh? Lao Liao is here? Please come quickly! ...Forget it, let's go and greet him together. Lao Liao doesn't leave home easily. There must be something important."
Commander He stood up and straightened his clothes. Zhou Yiqun, Duan Dechang, and Wan Tao also stood up. After walking a few steps, they met Lao Liao, who had arrived after a long journey.
Lao Liao didn't have time to drink water, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly: "The situation is urgent, drink water before you say anything... The morning before yesterday, the 2nd Division of the 44th Army stationed in Youyang and Daozhen, and quickly moved these areas
The village elders and chieftains from the two counties convened a meeting and made many promises, including building roads and bridges, building schools, hospitals and inns along the way. They also promised to provide free guns and ammunition to arm the self-defense forces of each village, so that each village and county could
The town formed a cooperative to protect itself and vigorously developed industry and commerce. It also issued a long list of purchase orders for medicinal materials, wood, animal skins, gums, camellia oil and other mountain products. The prices were fair and kind, which made the original thinking change due to our vigorous mobilization.
The gangs and mountain people have all gone to look for them. Our ideological and political work these past few months has been in vain! He Huzi, Yiqun, please help me think of a solution. It’s really annoying!”
Commander He and others looked at each other in confusion, and Duan Dechang quickly asked: "Where is the garrison in the Youyang battalion?"
"Oops! How can those two to three hundred idle Sichuan soldiers who bully the city be enough to fill the teeth of the more than ten thousand Xiangxi Army? As soon as the leading regiment of the second division entered the city, they all surrendered obediently, and in the blink of an eye they were escorted back to Qiancheng.
The training lasted for three months, and the people were applauded for driving away the Sichuan soldiers who had oppressed them for many years! As soon as they entered the city, they posted notices announcing the new tax reduction for one year, and took the initiative to clean up
Inside and outside the county, they helped every household clean up the tattered tile roofs, and used horse teams to carry large quantities of salt, soap, needles, and thread for free to needy households. They also promised to help open up wasteland, provide seeds for free, etc., and brought all the folks in the county to their homes.
I'm so happy, but they are the Kuomintang! They are incompatible with our Communist Party! How will we do our work?" Old Liao knelt down worriedly.
Commander He took a deep breath, helped Lao Liao up and said kindly: "Don't worry, brother, in this case, let me find a time to meet Zhang Hongluan. I want to see whether he is the Kuomintang or the Communist Party.
"
Duan Dechang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You see, the typical model camp spirit must be An Yi behind the scenes. I heard rumors that Wei Yangxin, commander of the 2nd Division of the 44th Army, was originally the captain of the teaching regiment of An Yi's independent division, Sichuan
Four of the nationalities
Deng Bin, deputy commander of the 14th Army, is An Yi's deputy of the special forces brigade. All the cadres of the second division and battalion level and above are from the independent division or the old Nanchang non-commissioned officer base. It seems that this rumor is true! This An Yi is indeed
