Chapter 153 Fishing in Troubled Waters (Fifth Update, Asking for Subscription)

The sky was getting dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the soldiers in the wilderness valley finished eating dry food, Xu Maofu, the commander of the newly promoted spy company who had disappeared for two days, led the reconnaissance team back in a hurry, bringing with them the specific situation of the Chaling garrison and a lot of information about the surrounding villages and towns.

In order to unify the thinking of all officers and men and ensure that his orders were carried out to the letter, Zheng Yi made an exception to convene a military meeting of officers above the platoon commander level to report in detail the important information obtained by the reconnaissance detachment:

"At about 6 o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, four Red Guards led by the local party organization in eastern Hunan with a total of more than 1,000 men and horses launched a riot in Chaling City, and it took only more than three hours to defeat a garrison battalion of the Hunan army stationed in Chaling and several hundred landlord armies, and smoothly took control of Chaling City and two towns in the north.

"No one expected that the two regiments of the enemy's newly formed Xiangdong garrison force, because they were going to southern Hunan to suppress the riot, happened to walk from Liling to Yuhuangchong, eight kilometers northwest of Chaling, and under the leadership of several local tyrants and inferior gentry who escaped from Chaling, the troops attacked Chaling City in two ways, and entered the city in just over two hours."

"The result was almost doomed from the very beginning, the local party organizations and Red Guards who were caught off guard suffered more than 400 casualties, and all the rest fled in all directions, and according to the report of the reconnaissance detachment, until they returned, the enemies of these two regiments remained in Chaling, searching for communists and Red Guards everywhere."

The hundreds of officers who attended the meeting were stunned.

No one had expected that the Red Guards in Xiangdong would launch a riot before the arrival of the instructor, and the sudden arrival of the two regiments of enemies not only caused heavy losses to the revolutionary armed forces and party organizations in Xiangdong, but also completely disrupted the battle plan of the headquarters.

Just when the officers were deeply disappointed, the staff officers of the division headquarters lit the only two lanterns and hung up a map of the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas with one-fifty-thousandth.

Zheng Yi came to the map, picked up a stick, pointed to the map, and said three choices:

"In the current situation, there are usually three ways to deal with it: the first method is to stick to the established battle plan, accelerate the march overnight, arrive at the outskirts of Chaling to hide and rest, and then take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a sudden and resolute attack."

"The second way is for the team to stop advancing, or slow down, advance covertly, and wait for the enemy's main force to leave before attacking Chaling."

"The third method is to adjust the battle plan, adjust the direction of the attack, run in front of the enemy to fight an ambush, defeat the two regiments of the enemy going south, and then fight Chaling!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Yi paused slightly, and slowly glanced at the officers attending the meeting: "Comrades, I will give you the right to choose, please fully use your brains, speak freely, and work together to discuss, how to fight this battle, and will choose the best plan from the results of everyone's discussion." ”

After a short silence, the atmosphere gradually came alive.

With the encouragement of Zheng Yi, Li Zhao and others, officers at all levels were soon divided into two large groups to have a heated discussion with their regiments and battalions as units.

Political commissar Li Zhao was very supportive of this unique pre-war discussion, and he also admired Zheng Yi's courage in cultivating the military ability of grassroots officers, but Li Zhao, who was cautious by nature, still asked Zheng Yi in a low voice: "If the discussion is too long, will it delay the fighter?" ”

Zheng Yi patiently explained: "The winter night march is already very difficult, and the air is very humid tonight, and there is mist around the moon, I feel that it is likely to rain after midnight, so I simply stop and take a good rest, and in the end, no matter what happens, we can easily deal with it." ”

"If it really doesn't work, I think it's better to give up the goal of Chaling for the time being, and instead attack Youxian in the northwest of Chaling, and then fight Chaling after Youxian, I estimate that there will be more oil and water in Youxian, haha!"

Li Zhao was shocked, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was feasible: "I have stayed in Youxian for a few days, and it is indeed richer than Chaling, and there have been no riots and riots in the past two years, and because Youxian is located in the middle of Chaling, Anren, Hengdong and Liling, there are barriers on all sides, so I estimate that there will not be too many defenders, and it is difficult for the enemy to think that we will cross Chaling and go deep into the hinterland of eastern Hunan to fight Youxian, which is indeed a good plan by surprise!" ”

Zheng Yi pointed to the officers who were discussing enthusiastically: "Among the more than 100 people, if anyone can put forward a proposal to attack Youxian County, I will immediately transfer him to the division headquarters for key training." ”

Li Zhao was completely convinced, and just about to sigh a few words, Zheng Yi had already walked to the tent behind, ordered the staff officers to disperse to each company, and ordered the soldiers to carefully inspect the tent, seize the time to collect firewood and grass and light the bonfire, and never let a soldier freeze his body.

The pre-war discussion of hundreds of officers continued until midnight, and in the end, the second method was supported by the majority: stop the advance and wait for the main enemy force to leave and attack Chaling!

Zheng Yi was deeply pleased with this choice, which showed that the officers finally knew how to judge the situation and gradually matured.

It's a pity that there is only one person who dares to propose a change of direction to attack Youxian County, and he is Shangguan Yong, the deputy company commander of the police communication company directly under the first regiment!

Shangguan Yong was originally a platoon commander of the Autumn Harvest Uprising Army, and was bravely injured in the Luxi Breakout Battle because of the initiative to break the rear, after the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops and the instructor converged in Lianhua County, Shangguan Yong and 14 other seriously injured were received by the instructor with better medical conditions, after more than ten days of careful treatment and rich nutritional supplements, Shangguan Yong's leg injury quickly recovered, and since then he has stayed in the instructor, and was recommended by Li Lianshan, the commander of a regiment who greatly admired him, as the deputy company commander of the police communication company, responsible for the most arduous investigation task.

Shangguan Yong was very excited when he was brought to the division commander Zheng Yi, and under Zheng Yi's questioning, he stated in detail the reasons for attacking Youxian, and many of his ideas coincided with Zheng Yi, and the calculation of mileage and marching time was detailed, which completely exceeded Zheng Yi's expectations for him.

Zheng Yi, who had picked up the treasure, didn't care whether Li Lianshan on the side was happy or not, and immediately ordered Shangguan Yong to be transferred to the operational staff of the division headquarters, and was responsible for formulating the combat plan and contingency plan for attacking Youxian!

Shangguan Yong was also pleasantly surprised, and saluted his regiment commander Li Lianshan apologetically, immediately ran back to bid farewell to the company commander and brothers, and quickly moved his backpack and weapons to Zheng Yi's tent, borrowed a few candles from the staff officer on duty, and began to formulate battle plans and contingency plans.

At four o'clock in the morning, a moderate rain fell from the sky after a howling cold wind, and did not gradually stop until dawn.

The recuperated instructors and soldiers quickly put away their tents, buried the pot and cooked, and finished their meals in only two hours, ready to go.
