Almost at the same time that Li Lianshan's regiment launched a surprise attack on the headquarters of the newly formed 3rd Division of the Guangdong Army, the instructor's special agent company officers and soldiers who had sneaked to the Qilu Pass in the south also launched a surprise attack.

Where could the baggage company and engineer company of the newly formed 3rd Division of the Guangdong Army who stayed behind in the small town of Shankou withstand the fierce blows of dozens of flower machine guns and more than 10 light and heavy machine guns? In less than 10 minutes, nearly half of them were killed or wounded, and the surviving officers and men threw down a large amount of ammunition and supplies and fled in the desert under the sudden blow.

The officers and men of the fast-moving special service company quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and each soldier carried four or five brand-new Belgian FN1924 rifles on their backs.

The newly formed 3rd Division of the Guangdong Army, which suffered an all-round blow, inevitably fell into great confusion!

Zhan Xuchu, the commander of the enemy division, who was in a state of disarray, made the right choice and sent his chief of staff to the artillery position four kilometers ahead in an emergency four kilometers in the face of bullets and bullets, turned the muzzle, and launched an artillery bombardment on the communist troops on the hill to the west, even if he did not hesitate to use all the shells.

Immediately afterwards, Zhan Xuchu personally led the guard company, rushed out of the division headquarters, quickly gathered the second regiment of the sixth brigade that was in chaos, and ordered the commander of the sixth brigade to immediately lead his headquarters to rush to the town of Shankou in the south, and do his best to repel the communist troops attacking the rear road, and then ordered the guard company commander to rush to the front on horseback, and informed all the units to abandon all grain, grass, baggage and ammunition, seize the time, and make every effort to break through to the south.

The 2nd and 5th Regiments on the Licun blocking position promptly reported the news of the enemy's rapid retreat to the front-line headquarters, and after repeated consideration, Wang Huchen ordered the 2nd Regiment and the 5th Regiment to send a battalion each to follow and pursue.

Zhao Jingting, commander of the 2nd Regiment, and Huang Guoxing, commander of the 5th Regiment, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, immediately followed the order, and each led a battalion of officers and men to jump out of their positions to launch a pursuit, and in only 20 minutes they caught up with a battalion of the broken Cantonese army, unceremoniously sounded the horn of the charge, and in one fell swoop crushed the enemy's weak resistance.

Li Lianshan also led the second regiment down the mountain at this time and joined Zhao Jingting and Huang Guoxing.

In order to prevent the enemy from suddenly turning around, Li Lianshan's regiment took the initiative to take on the task of guarding, and the two regiment commanders, Zhao Jingting and Huang Guoxing, immediately led their brothers to clean up the battlefield, clear out the remnants of the enemy, and dragged back all the six artillery pieces that the Cantonese army had no time to take away.

At ten o'clock that night, the main force of the newly formed 3rd Division of the Cantonese Army fled back to the small town of Shankou in the south, and in the face of the burning supplies and the continuous explosion of ammunition, no one dared to stay any longer.

Zhan Xuchu, the commander of the enemy division who was like a dead heart, under the strong request of his generals and colonels, did not care to gather the thousands of officers and soldiers who had been scattered, and issued an order to retreat south across the mountain pass overnight.

……

……

May 18, noon.

Li Lianshan's regiment, which was on guard, escorted more than 300 prisoners and finally withdrew from the battlefield, and the battle reports of various units were successively sent to the division headquarters in the capital.

In this battle, more than 2,760 Cantonese troops were wiped out in one fell swoop, and 1,277 Cantonese officers and soldiers were captured, of which more than 500 were wounded who could not walk; Six Schneider 1923 75 mountain guns, more than 4,200 Belgian FN1924 rifles, 64 shell guns and various pistols, and more than 220 war horses and pack horses were seized.

At this point, the Yunnan army and the Cantonese army under the orders of the Nanjing government launched a four-sided encirclement of the instructor led by Zheng Yi was completely bankrupt, and the officers and men of the instructor who had been fighting continuously for more than a month finally gained valuable time to recuperate, and the entire southern Jiangxi region entered a new period of relative stability.

The prestige of Zheng Yi and his instructor soon spread all over the world, causing a huge shock from all walks of life at home and abroad.

On the third day after the war, Li Lianshan led a regiment to return to Xingguo, Huang Guoxing's fifth regiment stayed in the capital, Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen led the second regiment, transporting captured weapons and equipment, food, baggage and other materials, and returned to Ningdu in the north.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered at the pier to cheer warmly at the triumphant return of the soldiers.

Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen took the lead in taking a ferry to the North Shore Wharf, saluted each other with Li Zhao and other old brothers, hugged warmly, and walked into the city gate side by side in the warm cheers like a tide.

The excited Li Zhao didn't care whether Zheng Yi wanted to or not, he kept holding Zheng Yi's hand and praised him repeatedly: "Okay, you guys played so well!" You don't know how worried I am these days, this new third division of the Guangdong army is not comparable to the Yunnan army, not only well-equipped, but also well-trained, good at night fighting, originally thought that being able to repel them would be considered a victory, but I didn't expect to fight a sensational victory in the world, I am very encouraged! ”

Zheng Yi laughed and pointed to Wang Huchen, who was full of pride on the side: "This battle is under the full command of Huchen, if you want to praise him, praise him." ”

Wang Huchen took off his military hat and scratched his head, and smiled: "This new third division of the Guangdong army is really good, it is much stronger than the Yunnan army in terms of technology, tactics and toughness, and the five charges launched against our army's position after the battle began are all good, and the use of artillery is also very good, and it is indeed a strong enemy." ”

"However, the Guangdong army has come from afar, and it is already a tired division without fighting, and the so-called good night battle of the Guangdong army depends on who is better, compared with our instructor! In addition, they do not have enough understanding of the terrain of the battlefield, they do not pay enough attention to it, and they do not know the essence of guerrilla warfare, so that we can constantly get the opportunity to break the enemy and win, and then obtain good results. ”

Li Zhao was overjoyed: "I heard that you have captured six of the latest Schneider guns, why don't you bring them back?" ”

"In the back, all the prisoners will stay in Yudu, handed over to the care of Guoxing's Fifth Regiment, and turn around and slowly settle accounts with the Yue army." Zheng Yi said with a smile.

The brothers talked as they walked, and soon returned to the headquarters of the county office, and the officers and men of the guards inside and out, as well as the staff officers who came in and out, all had proud smiles on their faces.

The brothers gathered together in twos and threes to talk warmly, Li Zhao personally brought Zheng Yi a cup of hot tea, pulled over a chair and sat next to Zheng Yi, and said in a low voice:

"Comrade Lu Yi, the special commissioner of the Central Committee, and the comrades of the Hunan and Jiangxi Special Committee will rush to Xingguo within three days, and at present, the two battalions of the Sixth Regiment and the Guard Regiment do not know about the upcoming division, and I have a headache, so I have to rush over to discuss with you."

"In addition, I want to keep Dong Zongzhuo, our political work cadres are already small, this time if the two regiments are handed over as a whole in accordance with the instructions of the central government, the weapons and equipment and officers at all levels cannot be left, I really ...... in my heart."

Zheng Yi groaned slightly, and slowly put down the teacup: "In this way, let's jointly call the front committee of the base area, asking for Lao Han to be transferred back, and attach the list of officers who need to be left behind the message, what do you think?" ”

Li Zhao immediately laughed: "It's too ghostly, this method is good, it's much more thoughtful than I thought, haha!" That's it, unless the former committee is willing to put Lao Han back, it will definitely consider our request and leave us some excellent backbones. ”
