The strict blockade of important locations inside and outside the county and various transportation arteries by the instructors and departments soon made the shrewd people realize that danger was coming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

People from all walks of life, both inside and outside the city, were deeply frightened by the rapid spread of various rumors, and fled back to their homes to avoid the disaster.

Shops, inns and ordinary houses are all closed, and before night has completely fallen, the streets and alleys of the entire county are empty, like a dead city that has lost its life in an instant.

In this way, it is also convenient for the instructors to go door-to-door to raid the large and small money villages, the opium and the tobacco house, and the houses of more than a dozen Kuomintang celebrities and rich gentry.

Bags of silver dollars and boxes of tobacco and soil were constantly delivered to the vast compound of the county government, and there were more than 300 war horses and pack horses that were saluted, more than 20 load-bearing carriages that could travel long distances, and no less than 550 rifles and pistols of all kinds were seized.

The captured ammunition was pitiful, only more than 30,000 rounds, most of which were domestic round-nosed rifle cartridges, and only 12 boxes of grenades.

It wasn't until half past eleven o'clock in the evening that the entire raiding and arresting operation came to an end, and the commanders of the two main regiments and the staff officers of the division headquarters were overjoyed in the face of a large amount of seized materials, while Zheng Yi and Li Zhao were at a loss and had to call the two regiment commanders and Xu Maofu, Shangguan Yong and others to discuss.

"Boss, aren't you satisfied? The seized ocean alone is as high as more than 80,000 pieces! Before Zhao Jingting sat down, he joked with Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Do you remember how many carriages we used to transport more than 80,000 pieces of the ocean on the way from Ji'an to Jinggangshan?" That's five wagons drawn by two healthy horses! ”

"If you use horses to carry it, you need at least thirty horses, and it has to be good horses, if you add more than seventy boxes of tobacco and soil and more than twenty boxes of Chinese and Western medicine under the corridor in the front yard, you give me a good calculation, how many horses are needed to transport in total?" How much manpower does it take? And how much will it slow down the march? ”

Zhao Jingting really didn't think about the transportation problem, and after listening to Zheng Yi's words, he suddenly became worried.

Li Lianshan was distressed: "I only know now, why don't you let the granary and a few local tyrants and inferior gentry be copied from the cloth village, we are just a thousand people, unless we don't have to fight, otherwise we really can't take it away!" ”

Zheng Yi knocked on the wide and thick mahogany table: "Anything else can be given up, the ocean, gold bars, medicines and tobacco must be taken away, these are the most scarce materials in our Jinggangshan base area!" The purpose of calling you here in a hurry is to discuss a practical solution. ”

Li Zhao was also helpless: "The average weight of the officers and men of each battalion and company has reached 15 kilograms, and tonight, the cooking squad of each battalion and company will have to prepare three days' worth of dry food for each person, and the whole army has a total of 450 pack horses. ”

Shangguan Yong leaned over and discussed with Xu Maofu in a low voice for a long time, and after getting Xu Maofu's approval, he slowly stood up and proposed a solution:

"If we can dispatch the guard company and about 10 local officers and men, and then select 100 fat and strong horses from the more than 300 war horses and pack horses that have just been captured, and be specially responsible for the transportation of the ocean, gold bars, medicines, and tobacco and soil, we can avoid dragging down the main forces to the greatest extent, and it will not affect the next march and operation."

Everyone was in high spirits, and soon became worried again: no one can say what the next battle will be, and if the two regiments of the Hunan army in Chaling have not left, the plan to attack Chaling will have to be changed.

According to the character of the division commander Zheng Yi, it is very likely that he will immediately turn his guns and attack Anren County, or directly attack Leiyang in the south, forcing the two regiments of the Hunan army in Chaling County to go south to support, and then use the marching speed and rapid reaction ability of the enemy army to destroy the enemy of these two regiments in the movement war, and finally kill the horse pistol to attack Chaling.

In this way, the time will drag on for a long time!

With so many oceans and smoke following the march, unexpected dangers may occur at any time, and when a war starts, troops must be sent to protect it closely, otherwise no one will be at ease.

Zheng Yi had already guessed the final solution that Shangguan Yong and Xu Maofu had not yet said, and when he saw the two of them looking quite proud, he shook his head and scolded with a smile:

"You two guys, what are you selling at this time? Let's talk about it, which path are you going to let the horse team transporting the ocean and tobacco and soil return to Jinggangshan? ”

Shangguan Yong smiled, admiring Zheng Yi's keen eye in his heart, Xu Maofu immediately went to the confidential room in the back to get the map, put it on the table in front of Zheng Yi, and explained it to everyone in detail with Shangguan Yong.

Shangguan Yong began to explain under Xu Maofu's humility:

"The division commander is right, there are indeed three trails that allow us to quickly send the ocean and tobacco back to Jinggangshan, the first road is to go back along the marching route we came, but this road needs to pass through Fenghuangping, six kilometers west of Yongxin City, and the risk is greatly increased, so we do not approve of taking this road."

Everyone nodded frequently, and the careful Li Lianshan put forward two shortcomings: it is not conducive to concealing traces and the journey is too long.

Shangguan Yong pointed to the second line drawn in pencil on the map:

"This route is the most hidden, tomorrow morning the horse team will follow the whole army to Chaling, only need to travel twenty-eight kilometers, about five o'clock in the afternoon, arrive at Huangshaping, twelve kilometers northwest of Chaling, use an hour to eat and feed the horses, quietly turn around and cross the Huanjiang River at dark time, and then speed up and cross the mountain road three kilometers to the east, you can completely avoid the enemy in the direction of Chaling, and walk to Yaoshui, which is fifteen kilometers to the east!"

"When you get to Yaoshui at the foot of the mountain, even if it is completely safe, then go along the winding mountain road all the way to the east, through Jiupi and Sanwan to the ancient city. Between the above two routes, there is one more road ......"

Zheng Yi interrupted Shangguan Yong's statement: "It's okay, the third road is not much safer than the first, it needs to pass through the two towns west of Yongxin, I am now very worried that the main force of the Dian army stationed in Ji'an has gone to Yongxin to retaliate, so the farther away from Yongxin, the better, even if it is a few dozen kilometers more wrongful road, we must ensure that this batch of valuable materials is foolproof!" ”

"Got it!"

Shangguan Yong immediately realized that he was a little carried away, and lowered his head after answering, his heart was a little empty in remorse, and he didn't dare to look up at Zheng Yi again.

Li Zhao laughed: "Good strategy!" Shangguan and Maofu have made a lot of contributions, haha! Let's discuss it together and see who is responsible for the specific implementation? ”

Zhao Jingting immediately pointed to Shangguan Yong, whose face was slightly red: "That's it, I'm not worried about changing someone else, haha!" ”

Li Lianshan echoed casually: "Shangguan is thoughtful, good at observation, and both civil and martial arts are here, so it is reassuring that he is responsible for this important task." ”

Zheng Yi discussed with Li Zhao slightly, and kindly asked Shangguan Yong's opinion: "Shangguan staff, tell me what you think." ”

Shangguan Yong secretly took a deep breath, puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Zheng Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" I am confident that you will be able to accomplish this glorious and difficult task successfully, and now you can go down and prepare, and if you need anything, please ask for the men and horses you need. ”

"Yes!"

Shangguan Yong simply saluted neatly, and rushed to the guard company in the backyard with Xu Maofu.
