Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area, Ninggang Longjiang Academy, Headquarters of the Red Fourth Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Inside and outside the quaint and elegant and square main courtyard, the guards were heavily guarded, and the soldiers who came in and out were in a hurry, and in the center of the open and spacious main hall were placed a wide table that had been improvised with desks, and Commissar Mao, Commander Zhu, and the personnel of the former enemy headquarters gathered around the large table to discuss nervously.

The two radio stations on the west side of the main hall kept making a "tick-tock" sound, and one after another the battle reports were sent to the large table in the center of the main hall.

Under the command of Wu Shang, "commander-in-chief of the suppression of bandits in eastern Hunan Province," the two main divisions of the Eighth Army of the Hunan Army launched one fierce artillery bombardment after another against the county seat of Youxian County in the south of the base area at 8 a.m. the day before yesterday, mobilizing thousands of infantry to launch several group charges.

However, under the stubborn resistance of the brave and tenacious officers and men of the 11th Red Division, the attacks of the Eighth Army of the Hunan Army were repelled again and again, and more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded.

As of 10 o'clock this morning, more than half of the 31 st Regiment in charge of the frontal blocking task had been killed or wounded, and it had to retreat from the battlefield for rest, and the 32 and 33 rd Regiments on the left and right flanks were still fighting stubbornly, but they were reduced by more than 20 percent, and the situation was very grim.

In view of the current stalemate in the battle situation, the Red Tenth Division, which had just withdrawn to Ninggang for rest, had not yet eased its strength, Wang Erzhuo, chief of staff of the Red Fourth Army, put forward a bold proposal:

"I think it's better to give up Yuxian for the time being, retreat 20 kilometers, and put the enemy into the base area to fight!"

In fact, Commissar Mao had already had such an idea, but the other comrades of the former enemy committee could not turn around for a while, and it was difficult for them to abandon the county seat of Youxian County, an important barrier to the south of the base area, and they were worried that after the enemy was put in, in addition to causing trouble to the people in the base area, a division of the Dian Army at Longyuankou in the north would also step up its offensive because of this, which would seriously affect the morale of our army and cause panic and great confusion among the people in the base area.

Just when everyone was discussing nervously, the battle report sent by Commissioner Han Shouren from Ningdu was sent to everyone:

"The 27th Division of the Ninth Army of the Dian Army withdrew from Suichuan at 9 a.m. and returned to Ji'an; At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Second Regiment and the First Red Guards Brigade of Xingguo engaged in a fierce battle with a regiment of the Third Army of the Dian Army, which was rapidly moving south, south of Sanjiangkou Town. ”

"At 5:30 a.m. today, the 1st and 6th regiments launched a surprise attack on Li Liejun's troops in Nancheng, crushing two regiments and one battalion of the enemy in one fell swoop, annihilating more than 1,700 enemy troops.

The good news of the instructor's good news greatly encouraged everyone, and the news of the retreat of the Ninth Army of the Dian Army to Ji'an greatly relieved the commanders of the Red Army, who were like thorns in their backs.

The sharp-eyed Commander Zhu immediately made a judgment: "The instructor's series of actions have successfully disrupted the enemy's overall deployment and forced the enemy to retreat in an all-round way in order to stabilize the position and make a comeback!" ”

He Tingying reminded excitedly: "The pressure on the battlefields in southern and western Jiangxi has been greatly reduced, but the pressure we are currently facing is still there...... Although the withdrawal of the Ninth Army of the Ninth Army of the Dian Army from Suichuan County was extremely beneficial to our army, after the Ninth Army returned to Ji'an, it was completely possible to turn its guns and echo with the garrison division of the Dian Army in the direction of Longyuankou to attack the Jinggangshan area from the north. ”

Everyone nodded frequently, Wang Erzhuo and Commissar Mao looked at each other and smiled, pointed to the Lipi fortress in the northeast of the map, and said confidently:

"If the Ninth Army of the Dian Army launches an attack on the Jinggangshan base area, it can only come in from here...... Although it is better to walk in the direction of Longyuankou in the west, it is impossible to swing the strength of more than one division, and can only go up the mountain from Tianhe Town or Gaoqiao Town in the northeast. ”

"These two places are more than twenty-five kilometers away from the base area of the Lipi fortress, and it takes two days for the large army to cross the mountains and mountains, even if we don't send troops to block and harass, the enemy must conquer the Lipi fortress to reach Xiaping, and everyone knows very well what the situation of the Lipi fortress is......"

"We only need the strength of one regiment to firmly block the enemy, no matter how many enemies come, it is useless, and without more than ten seventy-five artillery pieces repeatedly bombarded, it will not be able to move at all."

"The road to the northeast is winding, steep and bumpy, and there are at least seven ravines that need to be crossed over single-plank bridges, and the enemy is completely unable to carry such heavy artillery up the hills." Wan Xi, the political commissar of the Red Tenth Division, smiled with relief first.

Chen Zhonghong, director of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Army, reacted very quickly: "Speaking of which, Zhu Peide's Dian Army is about to retreat in an all-round way!" The enemy's attack on the Jinggangshan base area would soon collapse. ”

"Report! The new 34th Regiment sent an urgent report, and the enemy at Longyuankou suddenly withdrew from their positions and returned to Yongxin County. "Now Comrade Luo Shenzhen, who is in charge of the intelligence work of the Red Fourth Army, came to report excitedly.

Couldn't help but cheer loudly, Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu Jun looked at each other and smiled, the pressure in their hearts was greatly reduced, and they began to discuss the rapidly changing battle situation.

"Chief of Staff Wang, what do you think of the current battle situation?" Director Chen Zhonghong asked the pensive Wang Erzhuo in a low voice.

Wang Erzhuo, who graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, stared at the map and was silent for a long time: "Comrade Zheng Yi's side fought very beautifully, basically relieving the pressure in the direction of Guangchang, and can concentrate forces to deal with the Third Army of the Dian Army in Ganzhou, or through flexible and rapid initiative to attack, once again disrupt the enemy's deployment, they have this ability." ”

Chen Zhonghong nodded frequently: "Do we have a conversation with Comrade Zheng Yi?" Or through Comrade Shouren and the comrades of the instructor? ”

Wang Erzhuo looked at Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu, who were talking in a low voice: "You have to let them both agree." ”

Chen Zhonghong had a straightforward personality and dared to act, so he immediately walked to the side of Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu and expressed his and Wang Erzhuo's opinions.

This is what Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu just discussed, and Commander Zhu also put forward a proposal to take the initiative to attack...... In view of the fact that the battlefield in Youxian County is still in a state of stalemate, CPPCC National Committee member Mao has not yet made up his mind, but it has become a consensus to echo each other and coordinate with the instructors.

The biggest difficulty at present is not that the battle losses are too large and the troops are insufficient, but that the morale of the 10 th Red Division, which has just been withdrawn from southern Hunan, is low, the thinking of the officers and men fluctuates seriously, and the 11 th Red Division, which is still fighting hard, has suffered a great deal of consumption and urgently needs to replenish weapons and ammunition.

Now it seems that the crisis in the Jinggangshan base area has gradually been lifted, and only by taking the initiative to attack can we boost our spirits, boost morale, and continuously replenish ourselves through combat capture.

In order to take the initiative to attack, it is necessary to first determine the direction of the attack; there is no room for large troops to move in southern Hunan, where the enemy is heavily armed, but whether to go north or east, and which troops will attack, Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu have not yet made up their minds.

Just when everyone was discussing it again, the telegram from Commissioner Han Shouren arrived in time:

The instructor plans to launch a feint attack on Ganxian at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and the third regiment and its directly subordinate troops will move westward from Xingguo to attack Wan'an City, which is empty!
