Send your comrades and embark on a journey. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the official road in the northeast of Tingzhou City, Zheng Yi and Comrade Peng walked side by side and said goodbye.

After listening to Comrade Peng's optimistic analysis, Zheng Yi shook his head and said with a solemn face: "The situation on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders will become more and more complicated because of the Pingjiang Uprising......

"At present, the Hunan army has mobilized three divisions of troops to encircle and suppress the rebel troops, and if the rebel troops cannot move south in time to join the Red Fourth Army, they will be easily separated and surrounded by the enemy."

"In addition, once Zhu Peide's two armies return to Jiangxi Province, Yang Chisheng's troops in Ganzhou will definitely go out and echo with the Hunan army in the west and the Ji'an Dian army in the north, and launch an attack on the Jinggangshan base area and the Xingguo base area, and the enemy troops stationed on the front line in northeastern Jiangxi and Fuzhou will definitely go south at that time and launch an attack on Ruijin and Ningdu occupied by our army."

"If we don't deal with it well, it is easy for us to fall into the dilemma of fighting our own battles and repeat the mistakes of the Hailufeng Revolutionary Base Area. Please also report these situations to the central government on your behalf, maybe a big war is coming, and we may not be able to hold Ruijin at that time. ”

"When do you think the enemy's large-scale encirclement will take place?" The Paper attaches great importance to Zheng Yi's inference.

Zheng Yi stopped and looked solemnly at Comrade Peng: "If it is fast, it will be a month, and if it is slow, it will be a month and a half, and it will definitely not exceed the end of September." ”

The Paper immediately understood Zheng Yi's underlying thoughts: "You don't agree with the central government's instructions on concentrating troops and attacking major cities, is it because of this reason?" ”

Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Yes, but not only for these reasons...... First of all, we are not strong enough to build a major city; Second, the victory or defeat has already been decided in the major battle between the four groups of the Kuomintang and the warlords of the Beiyang government, and it is entirely possible to quickly mobilize heavy troops to pounce on the Hubei-Anhui border region, the Hunan-Hubei border region, the Hunan-Jiangxi border region, and the Jiangxi-Fujian border region established by our party, and the KMT troops left behind in Zhejiang Province and various parts of the southern part of the Yangtze River will also continue to march into the battlefield. ”

"In the current complex situation, we simply cannot concentrate our forces on major cities, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses."

Comrade Peng suddenly felt a heavy heart, pondered for a moment, and nodded heavily: "I will truthfully report your opinions to the Central Committee...... My opinion is the same as yours, taking western Fujian as an example, the most urgent task at the moment is to rapidly develop and strengthen our revolutionary armed forces and consolidate the hard-won revolutionary base areas. ”

Zheng Yi smiled with relief: "Let's go, let's talk as we go...... Last night, I got in touch with the intelligence officers in Putian, who will meet you in Zhangping and take you safely to Fuzhou, from where you will take a foreign ship to Shanghai. ”

"The brothers of our reconnaissance detachment of the spy company will accompany you all the way to Zhangping, we have opened this passage, and there are our comrades in all counties along the way to take care of it, and there will be no major problems."

Unconsciously came to the Guanyin Bridge, surging slowly raised his head, looked at the mountains covered by forests on both sides, and patted Zheng Yi's shoulder again with emotion:

"Help me take care of the Red Fourth Division, there are a lot of soldiers from my hometown."

"Don't worry, they are also my comrades-in-arms, my brothers." Zheng Yi's nose was sour, his voice was a little choked, and his deep eyes were flushed in an instant.

The surging smiled, wanting to say more but couldn't say anything, so he turned around, took the reins from the guard's hand, stepped on the stirrups, turned over on the horse, and exhaled a long breath at the clear blue sky.

Zheng Yi bowed his head silently to the eight brothers of the reconnaissance detachment who got on the horse and saluted goodbye, smiled at the reluctant Surging Surge, and stood in place to watch the surging ride away.

The horse team gradually moved away, and the mountains did not know when a deep song sounded:

"Send your comrades-in-arms, embark on the journey, silently with two tears, and the camel bell rings in your ears. The road is long, the fog is vast, and the revolutionary career often breaks up, and they are the same. Comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, beware of the cold wind in the middle of the night, take care of yourself all the way......"

……

……

July 28, 1928, 6 a.m.

"Tick tick

As the three red signal flares lifted into the air, the loud trumpet of the charge broke the lonely morning glow on the north bank of the Sexi River, and then the overwhelming shouts of killing rang out.

The Battle of Shanghang, led by the Red Fourth Division, finally began.

"Kill—"

More than 1,500 veterans of the Red Fourth Division, under the command of division commander Comrade Yuan Guoping, rushed out of the ambushed Shimenzhang mountain pass and rushed to the defensive position built by the enemy in Shanghang, 500 meters away, facing the front line of Huyang.

The officers and men of the Red Army were full of excitement and the sound of killing shook the sky, and they marched forward bravely with light machine guns, flower machine guns, and rifles with bayonets.

After only a quarter of an hour's fighting, the officers and men easily broke through the enemy's defense line and continued to fight towards the county town of Shanghang to the east.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the enemy's stubborn resistance was crushed, and with the successful blasting of the city gate by the demolition team, the gate of the west city gate of Shanghang County was opened, and the officers and men of the Red Fourth Division rushed into the city with shouts.

The battle was extremely cruel, the corpses of both the enemy and us were scattered everywhere, and streams of blood flowed along the cracks of the stone slabs that covered the official road, zigzagged together, and flowed to low-lying places, forming pools of blood everywhere.

The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and several enemy machine-gun fortifications inside and outside the city gates were all blown up, and stumps and severed arms were everywhere.

From time to time, fierce gunfire and grenade explosions were heard in the middle of the city and in the direction of the south gate, and under the thunderous blows of the officers and men of the Red Fourth Division, the enemy either lay dead in the streets or rushed out of the north and east gates in a panic and fled frantically.

It is a pity that the Tingjiang River is blocked in the east and north of Shanghang, and the officers and men of the Red Fourth Division chase and kill, and continue to exert a fierce blow to the place where they escaped, and the enemy runs to the bank of the Tingjiang River, looking at the surging river, there is no way forward, and there are pursuers behind, so they can only obediently kneel on the ground and raise their hands to surrender.

A company of enemy troops in the city occupied the Yazhong of Shanghang County, under the command of the commander of the enemy corps, who had no time to escape, continued to resist stubbornly.

……

……

At 10 o'clock in the morning, when the battle of Shanghang came to an end, Wang Huchen, commander of the 2nd Division, led two regiments of the division to the north of Xinquan Town and launched a fierce attack on the defensive position of the 2nd Brigade of Zhang Guohui's department.

At the same time, the attack troops on the North Road, which had set out in advance, under the leadership of Li Lianshan, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, defeated the landlords' forces in Wan'an Town with a devastating momentum, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and set off again, attacking Yanshi Town, 22 kilometers northeast of Longyan, non-stop.

At noon, the attacking troops on the southern front led by Comrade Yuan Guoping took the lead in issuing a battle report:

After four and a half hours of fierce fighting, the Red Fourth Division defeated the enemy's 18th Regiment in one fell swoop and successfully occupied Shanghang County, achieving an excellent record of destroying more than 350 enemies and capturing more than 480 enemies!

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Huchen sent an urgent telegram: After 45 minutes of fierce fighting, Duan Xuan personally led the officers and men of the Fifth Regiment (former guard regiment) to tear apart the enemy's northeast defensive position, killing more than 500 people including the commander of the enemy's second brigade and the sixth regiment.

In the face of the succession of good news, the headquarters in the north of Tingzhou City was full of joy, and Zheng Yi, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, immediately gave the Red Fourth Division and the Fifth Regiment of the Second Division a telegram of commendation.

After Zheng Yi signed the commendation order, he pulled out Comrade Wang Haiping, deputy secretary of the special committee, from among a group of generals gathered in front of a large map:

"The casualties among the officers and men of the Red Fourth Division are not small, and I would like to ask you to visit on behalf of the Special Committee and the Front Committee, and by the way, bring the medical team and a batch of medicines."

Wang Haiping happily agreed: "Okay! I'll go back and prepare, and I'll leave in an hour. ”
