Chapter 168: Capture Sangla Town

Hu Youmin didn't know anything about what was happening in the company, and his energy was now focused on attacking Sangla Town.

He was going to visit Sangbo in person and discuss the matter of borrowing the Tao. Wang Haitao was three months pregnant, and she was afraid that something would go wrong with her, so she finally decided to let Miao Lun accompany her.

Listening to Wang Haitao, Miao Lun is her father's friend, and for some reason she can't marry him, but she has no complaints and is loyal to him.

This is a wise woman, not much talkative, with a humble attitude, but very intelligent, quick to react, has a big picture, and is decisive.

She admires Hu Youmin very much, and Hu Youmin respects her very much. In the future, it is impossible for him to stay in Kangula Town for a long time, but it is difficult for the Wang sisters to support the situation, and they must be assisted by her.

Coupled with the Chief of Staff Dan Tuo, the Quartermaster Sowen and the newly established Third Battalion Commander Naiden are Wang Haitao's people, and the first battalion commander who is fighting for Tun Qin, there will be no problem in controlling Kangula.

Along the way, Hu Youmin took the initiative to chat with her, telling her about his governance philosophy, hoping to get her recognition and support.

She smiled and said, "Youmin, you can do it, you have brought hope and happiness to the people of Kangula, as long as it is beneficial to the people of Kangula, I will firmly support you." ”

Sangbo now respects Hu Youmin very much, and Kangula's strength is in full swing, making several surrounding towns look up, and Sangla Town is the weakest, where do you dare to put on a score?

This time, not only did he not engage in the same battle as last time, but he also personally went to the door to greet them. Hu Youmin greeted him respectfully and presented him with a gift.

He politely asked Hu Youmin what he was doing during his visit? Hu Youmin said politely: "First, I miss Commander Sangbo very much, so I have come to visit, and second, I want to ask for something and hope that Commander will be fulfilled." ”

"Thank you Advisor Hu for looking up to this old bone, may I ask what I can do for you?" he asked cautiously.

Hu Youmin said angrily: "The commander also knows that we and Meng Peizhen are mortal enemies, and the two sides have reached the point of not dying. ”

"They have harassed us on the border many times, and the last time we were ready to capture the town of Meng Pei, we fought nearly halfway, and it was only more than two kilometers away from his headquarters, but we still failed. ”

"Now that the whole people of Mengpei Town are preparing for war, it is very difficult to attack Mengpei Town from our border alone, and I want to borrow from your town to encircle Mengpei Town. ”

He was embarrassed and said: "Advisor Hu, isn't this good? It's okay for you to defeat Meng Peizhen, if you don't capture it, I will also become Meng Peizhen's mortal enemy." ”

Hu Youmin said confidently: "Commander, rest assured, as long as the commander is willing to borrow the road, we will sneak attack from the rear and will definitely take Mengpei Town." ”

"Because their forces are in the front, and the rear is empty, they would never have imagined that there would be a fire in the backyard, and when the battle began, we would storm in front and make them unable to come back. ”

"As long as their headquarters are captured, the battle situation will be basically decided, and the leaderless revolutionary army will soon be annihilated by us. ”

"Of course, we won't let Commander Bai help, after taking Mengpei Town, we will assign you the two villages bordering your town, these two villages have several jewelry and jade mines. ”

"If the commander is not at ease with us, you can deploy troops on the Sang-Mong border, and you will take over these two villages as soon as we attack the town of Mengpei. ”

He was very moved to hear this, and getting these two villages would not only increase a few rich mines, but also expand the area of Sangla Town, greatly enhancing his strength.

After thinking about it for a while, he still asked very cautiously: "If an army is also sent from Laiguang Town to surround it from three sides, isn't the probability of success greater?"

Hu Youmin explained: "The Menglai border is a river, and it is much more difficult to cross the river, and if we have to divide two villages to Laiguang Town, we will have nothing left, and it is not cost-effective." ”

He thought for a while and said, "Our two towns have a long-term friendship, and I trust you very much, and I am willing to borrow for the sake of our common interests." ”

"But I have two conditions, one is that the number of troops entering my town cannot exceed one regiment, and after entering our town, I must obey the command of the Sangla Self-Defense Army and accept the monitoring of the Self-Defense Army. ”

"The second is that after attacking Mengpei Town, the Sangla Self-Defense Army will immediately take over the two villages on the border, and your army can no longer enter our town, and if it fails, it can only go back from Mengpei Town. ”

Hu Youmin said briskly: "No problem, in order to prevent leakage, we are going to launch an operation tomorrow night, can the commander see it?"

"Yes, but for the sake of secrecy, I would like your army to enter my town after dark, how about nine o'clock in the evening?" he suggested.

"Okay, I also have to trouble the commander to tell us the route of the march, so that we can calculate the time to enter Mengpei Town, and then determine the time to launch a general attack. Hu Youmin said.

He asked the chief of staff to bring the map, and after discussing it for a while, he told Hu Youmin the route of the march, and they were very ghostly, basically walking along the Sangmeng border, and did not let the army pass through the town at all.

Hu Youmin asked for the route to be extended further north, as far back as possible into the rear of Mengpei Town, and they thought for a while and agreed.

On the way back, Miao Lun said: "We can't pass through the town, it will be much more difficult for us to take Sangla Town, and there is a possibility that we will be attacked by Meng Pei Town during the battle." ”

He smiled and said: "It's okay, it's better than not borrowing the way, Meng Peizhen takes care of himself and doesn't dare to attack us, before the situation is unclear, they will all sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

Because only very few people knew about the attack on Sangla Town, after returning to the headquarters, Hu Youmin sent people to call Wang Yinghao, Wang Haitao, and Dan Tuo, plus Miao Lun, to discuss the battle plan together.

After an afternoon of discussion, the battle plan codenamed Hound was finally determined, under the full command of Hu Youmin, assisted by Dan Tuo and Miao Lun.

At six o'clock the next night, Hu Youmin began to issue orders to transfer troops and generals. Let the 3rd Battalion take over the defense first, and make a posture of attacking Mengpei Town on the Kanmeng border.

The second battalion was ordered to stand by at the Sangkhan border, enter the town of Sangla at nine o'clock sharp, and move quickly to the northernmost part of the town of Sangla.

The first battalion was ordered to be stationed one kilometer away from the Sangkhan border, and when the first battalion was in position, it quickly attacked the town of Sangla and the second battalion to flank the Sangla self-defense forces.

Lin Feng led the special combat team to take the headquarters of Sangla Town and the town ZF, and they were all annihilated on the spot if they encountered resistance.

After the battle began, the lurkers seized and controlled the arsenal, hydroelectric power station, and gas station, and cooperated with the large army in the battle.

At nine o'clock sharp, the Sangla Self-Defense Army removed the checkpoint, and the second battalion of the Kangula People's Army entered Sangla Town in an orderly manner and marched north along the designated route.

According to Hu Youmin's instructions, Lin Wu stretched the troops very long. The Sangla Self-Defense Army, which has only more than 400 men, originally planned to use half of its men to monitor the KPA entering the town and the other half to guard the Sangkhan border.

The ranks of the People's Army were so long that half of them could not be monitored at all, so they had to transfer another 100 people to monitor them, and there were only more than 100 people left on the border.

After the second battalion had all entered the town of Sangla, the first battalion quietly advanced towards the Sangkhan border, lurking on the border line, waiting for the order to attack.

The officers and men of the 2nd Battalion were close to the Self-Defense Forces along the way, giving them cigarettes, lighters, chocolates, chewing gum, etc., and they were very vigilant at first.

But he couldn't resist the temptation of the People's Army, and slowly accepted these small gifts, talked and laughed with the People's Army, and even made jokes.

At 9:48 a.m., the vanguard of the 2nd Battalion arrived at the designated position, and Hu Youmin, who had received the report, ordered an attack at 10 o'clock.

Lin Wu said to the adjutant: "Pass the order to go down and attack Mengpei Town at ten o'clock." "This is a pre-agreed code, which means that ten o'clock will be done to Sanna Town.

The officers and men of the People's Army who received the order became more affectionate to the Self-Defense Army, and took out all the small gifts on their bodies and gave them to the officers and men of the Self-Defense Army.

When the time came, the KPA attacked the self-defense forces, and the weapons in their hands opened fire together, and the unsuspecting self-defense forces were taken by surprise, and more than half of them were killed and wounded in an instant.

The remaining self-defense forces turned and fled in a panic, and without the slightest fighting spirit, the KPA took advantage of the victory and pursued and stormed the town.

On the Sangkhan border, after a burst of artillery fire, a battalion easily stormed the town of Sangla, and more than 100 self-defense troops were simply not enough to see in front of the well-trained and experienced People's Army.

In order to be safe, Hu Youmin ordered the third battalion to carry out an artillery bombardment of Meng Pei Town, making it look like it was going to attack on a large scale, so that the Meng Pei Revolutionary Army did not dare to act rashly.

The undercover personnel had already figured out the target, and as soon as the battle began, they quickly eliminated the unsuspecting enemy and took control of the arsenal, hydroelectric power station and gas station.

The special combat team did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the self-defense forces, but rushed directly to the enemy's headquarters, and only rushed in after a saturation attack with mortars and bazookas.

The battle ended in more than ten minutes, Sang Bo was killed by artillery fire, and more than a dozen middle and high-level officers were captured, Lin Feng handed them over to the first battalion that rushed to the town and rushed towards the town.

The town ZF was no longer guarded, and Lin Feng concentrated the officials in the town and imprisoned them, and then chased and killed the self-defense army with a battalion.

As soon as the war began, the Self-Defense Forces lost more than half of their troops, and the remaining 200 or so had no way out but to surrender and be killed in front of the People's Army, which numbered nearly 800 people.

When they heard that Sang Bo had been killed, the remaining 60 people all raised their hands and surrendered. In less than two hours, the KPA had completely captured the town of Sangla.

After the Kangula Command received the report, Wang Yinghao was so happy that he clapped his hands and laughed, and Dan Tuo, Dan Wei, Wen Suo, Miao Lun, Min Jue and others congratulated him one after another.

He laughed and said, "This is all the credit of Youmin, how can you let me reward you?" Hu Youmin said modestly: "This is the result of the commander's strategy, and it is the credit of everyone." ”

Then he issued an order to the front line: "The first battalion is stationed on the spot, and the second battalion escorts the prisoners and returns to the town with the wounded." The People's Army is not allowed to disturb the people or take property for personal gain. ”

"To appease the people and spread the news that when we attacked Mengpei Town through Sangla Town, Sangla Town colluded with Mengpei Town to ambush the Kangula People's Army, and had to fight back and capture Sangla Town. ”

Wang Yinghao asked: "Youmin, how will Sangla Town be governed in the future? Will it be merged into Kangula Town, or will it retain the establishment of Sangla Town?"

Hu Youmin's goal is not only the town of Sangla, his idea is to conquer several other towns and establish a county, which will be more troublesome to divide and merge.

He smiled and said: "Commander, I propose not to merge into Kangula Town for the time being, and the establishment will not be retained, and Wang Kexin will first send personnel to form an office to manage the government affairs of Sangla Town. ”

Min Jue objected: "Wang Kexin is in charge of Kangula's finances and taxes, and the work is heavy, so I suggest that the deputy mayor Pence take over the Sangla office." ”

Pence is Minjue's father-in-law, and he has been secretly fighting with Wang Kexin for power and profit. Min Jue is the key target of Hu Youmin's prevention, how can his own results allow him to get it for nothing?

Hu Youmin didn't even look at him, and said to Wang Yinghao: "Commander, Sangla Town has just been taken, the people are panicking, and all aspects are in ruins, and a shrewd and capable person is needed to manage it." ”

"During the period when Wang Kexin was in charge of the financial and taxation work of Kangula, her achievements are obvious to all, and she has a sense of the overall situation, is fair and strict, diligent and loves the people, and is deeply loved by the people of Kangula. ”

"The deputy mayor of Pence is a little old, and he doesn't have enough energy to manage Sangla Town, and more importantly, he is not flexible enough, in the face of the people of Sangla Town, who have just experienced the war, Wang Kexin, as a woman, is more acceptable to the people of Sangla Town. ”
