After more than half an hour of fierce street fighting, the officers and men of the two regiments of the instructor completely controlled the county seat of Ganxian County, and more than 3,000 Red Guards also rushed into the city to assist the main force in guarding the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Escorted by a company of guards, Zheng Yi, Zhang Yao, Han Shouren and others entered the city through a gap in the bombed city wall in the north of the city, and the streets were full of the corpses of Yunnan officers and soldiers and wounded soldiers lying in pools of blood and constantly calling for help.

A row of houses near the city wall had completely collapsed, and more than 100 brothers from the 2nd Regiment and 3rd Battalion were fighting the fire with more than a dozen weeping people.

Han Shouren, who was on the horse, sighed, but Zheng Yi and Zhang Yao didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters, so they ordered the guard company commander to speed up, cross the two groups of battlefield ambulance teams wearing red cross armbands on their arms, and rush to the county government compound at the intersection of the street.

Zhou Bingyao saw Zheng Yi and others arriving on horseback, and immediately stepped forward to report loudly: "Report to the division commander and chief of staff, our regiment has basically completed the search task of all the houses in the north and east of the city, and the battalions and companies are escorting the prisoners to the military camps in the city, and the results of the battle are being counted." ”

"How's the second regiment going?" Zheng Yi asked.

Zhou Bingyao pointed to the south of the city: "Ten minutes ago, Guoxing led the second battalion of the second regiment and the police company to occupy the south gate and the big wharf outside the city, and the deputy regiment commander Du Yong led the first battalion to pursue the fleeing enemy, and has not yet received news from the first battalion. ”

Zhang Yao ordered with concern: "You quickly take care of the wound on your face, don't let it become inflamed." ”

Zhou Bingyao smiled: "It's okay, if you cut a hole, there will be no bleeding for a long time, and I will go to the front barracks to see the situation of the prisoners later, and then wash myself." ”

Zheng Yi waved his hand to signal him to be busy, turned over and dismounted, and strode into the county government compound that had been tightly controlled by the brothers of the police communication company of the third regiment, and said to Han Shouren as he walked that he had lived here for several days last time, and after the commander of the guard company who followed behind sent a platoon to take over the county yazheng hall, he immediately took over the defense from the commander of the police communication company of the third regiment, so that the brothers of the police communication company of the third regiment could devote themselves to martial law in the whole city.

……

……

Three kilometers west of the city, Du Yong, deputy commander of the Second Regiment, who led more than 500 soldiers in the brave pursuit, saw that the trenches in front were full of hastily arranged Yunnan troops, and immediately shouted loudly, "Stop the pursuit."

Seeing that the brothers of the company who were running the fastest were still rushing forward regardless of it, Du Yong tore his throat and cursed, and rushed forward to intercept the brothers of the company who killed the red eye, and finally made dozens of brothers stop and fly accurately from a bullet fired from the blocking position of the Yunnan army.

"Smack-"

A blood mist rose from Du Yong's head on the war horse, and then he fell to the ground, and bursts of cheers suddenly sounded on the position of the Dian army, and then they all opened fire on the chaotic instructor chasing soldiers.

The dense rain of bullets knocked down more than a dozen chasers who were shocked by the sudden change, and the horses that lost their owners were beaten by the dense bullets and stood up, screaming miserably, and falling heavily from the air with a cloud of blood mist, and a "boom" stirred up a cloud of dust.

The red-eyed company commander hissed and shouted, and suddenly pounced on Du Yong, who was covered in blood, holding Du Yong, who had died, rolling continuously, and then carrying Du Yong's corpse and jumping up, shouting "retreat" while running wildly towards Ganzhou City in the east.

……

……

In the hall of the Ganxian County Government, Zheng Yi, Zhang Yao and others were listening to the results reported by various ministries.

According to the statistics of the complete corpses left by the enemy, 966 enemy officers and soldiers were killed in this battle, but there were very few prisoners, only more than 540 people, most of whom were wounded soldiers who could not move, and the results achieved were far smaller than Zheng Yi and Zhang Yao expected.

Fortunately, the enemy retreated in a hurry, and many ammunition and materials could not be transported, so more than 3,400 38 rifles, 42 light and heavy machine guns, and about 560,000 rounds of ammunition of various kinds were captured in one fell swoop.

Just when Zheng Yi was about to praise the second and third regiments, the bad news of Du Yong's sacrifice came.

Along with the bad news, nearly half of the first battalion of the 2nd Regiment pursued by the victory were killed or wounded, and about 30 of them were probably captured by the Yunnan army.

Zheng Yi was shocked, strode out of the county government hall, rushed to the courtyard where Du Yong's body was parked, and saw that half of Du Yong's head had been broken, and the bloodshot of his left eye hung on the remaining half of his face.

"Woo-"

Zhou Bingyao, the head of the third regiment, immediately cried bitterly, and Zhang Yao turned his back when he saw Huang Guoxing, the head of the second regiment, shouting, and immediately stepped forward to hug Huang Guoxing, who was slowly falling.

Several staff officers of the division headquarters rushed up, carried Huang Guoxing, who had fainted, back to the main hall with their hands and feet, and shouted that the military doctor would come to treat him quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire county government compound was crying, Han Shouren silently took the white sheets handed over by the health soldiers, came to Zheng Yi, who was in tears, and slowly squatted down:

"The crockpot is broken, and the general dies in front of the battle! Alas...... Poor Xiao Du, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death, as the commander of an army, you have to cheer up, the brothers are watching you. ”

Zheng Yi wiped away the tears on his face, nodded, and Han Shouren opened the white sheets together, slowly covering Du Yong's bloodstained body, without raising his head, and whispered to Zhang Yao, who was kneeling opposite:

"Carry Comrade Du Yong's body back to Xingguo and bury it under the hill behind the Dasheng Temple, Xiao Du is an activist of the Xingguo Women's Association, Xiao Du told me before, and he will get married after this battle, and let me be their main marriage, but now it is ......"

Han Shouren hugged Zheng Yi, who was crying again, motioned for Zhang Yao to come over, dragged Zheng Yi away from left and right, and quickly sent him into the side hall east of the main hall.

……

……

More than half an hour later, Zheng Yi, who was gradually recovering, silently picked up his pen, wrote a letter of negotiation in a correct font, and ordered Zhang Yunrui, chief of the intelligence section, to personally send it to Wang Jun, commander of the Third Army of the Yunnan Army, and then called Huang Guoxing, the commander of the second regiment, whose eyes were flushed, and Zhou Bingyao, the commander of the third regiment, who was full of anger, and ordered the two to immediately return to their respective units, collect the bodies of the Yunnan officers and soldiers, and send them to a place four kilometers west of the city together with the captured Yunnan officers and soldiers and the wounded.

Huang Guoxing and Zhou Bingyao left reluctantly, Zheng Yi asked the guards to call the commander and deputy commander of the first battalion and the first company guarding Du Yong's body, silently looked at the two tearful subordinates, and sighed for a while before sighing, and said quietly:

"You don't need to blame yourself, we communists who don't tie our heads to the belt of our trousers and die for the revolutionary cause, die a glorious death, heavier than Mount Tai!"

"Commander, you punish me, damn me! Woo......" The majestic company commander fell to the ground with a "poof", and the deputy company commander on the side also knelt softly, crying bitterly.

Zheng Yi held back his tears, stepped forward to help the two fierce generals up, and saw a company commander crying darkly, so he had to ask the deputy company commander who frequently wiped his tears:

"Mengzi, how many brothers have been captured by the enemy?"

"It is estimated that there are more than 30 of them, most of them are injured and can't walk, and I don't know how many will survive in the end...... Division Commander, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Commander Du! ”

Mengzi hugged Zheng Yi and cried.

Zheng Yi patted him lightly on the back: "Don't worry, I will go to see Wang Jun in person, whether it is dead or alive, I will bring our brothers back, one by one!" If the enemy dares to torture and kill our brothers, Lao Tzu will fight to punish them, and he will also kill all the prisoners of the Yunnan army! ”
