May 10, 1928, 9 a.m., Hoi Cheong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A heavy rain at dawn has ended, and the green of the mountains is full of vitality under the rays of sunlight, and the city of Huichang, which has experienced half a night of war, is extremely quiet at this moment.

There was not a single figure in the fortified fortifications in the north and west of the city, and hundreds of corpses on the north and south streets and inside and outside the county government had long been cleaned up.

The bloody water on the stone streets was washed away by the heavy rain, but only the main gate of the county government that was blown down and the dense bullet marks on the courtyard walls on both sides are still vivid.

Outside the main gate of the county government compound, the officers and men of the Fifth Regiment of the instructor were ready to set off, and more than 80 horse-drawn carriages confiscated from more than 10 landlords and wealthy merchants in the city were neatly lined up along the street.

More than 100 seriously wounded people, more than 600,000 oceans, and captured guns and ammunition have been lifted onto the wagons, and among the more than 1,500 officers and men on standby, there are more than 300 captured pack horses and mules, and the horses are loaded with ammunition boxes, salt, cloth, and other materials.

"Let's go!"

The regiment commander Huang Guoxing gave an order, and the soldiers of the fifth regiment drove the carriage, pulled the horses, and headed all the way to the north.

Huang Guoxing, deputy regiment commander Du Yong, and political commissar Zhang Shounian walked down the steps side by side, took the reins from the guards, turned on their horses, and led the police communication company brothers with only 86 people left after the fierce battle, and rode their horses past the long procession.

……

……

In the hall of the county government filled with the smell of blood, Wang Huchen, the chief of staff of the instructor, was still discussing in a low voice with Duan Xuan, the commander of the third regiment, and Qin Baijun, the political commissar of the regiment.

In the fierce battle that broke out in the middle of the night last night, the total strength of the defending enemy and the degree of stubborn resistance greatly exceeded the expectations of Wang Huchen, Duan Xuan and others.

After a two-hour battle and the heavy price of 316 soldiers killed, the officers and men of the two regiments of the instructor broke through the strong defense line in the west and north of Huichang City.

In this battle, more than 470 enemy soldiers were killed, more than 330 were captured, and 352 brand-new 38 rifles, 144 38 horse pistols, 7 Belgian Browning light machine guns, German Mauser shell guns, and more than 50 Browning 1910 pistols were captured.

More than 360 boxes of 38 rifle cartridges, machine gun cartridges, German-made grenades and British-made TNT explosives were seized.

After the confession of the prisoners of war, as early as half a month ago, Wu Changling, the county magistrate under the command of Li Liejun, a famous general of the Jiangxi army, bought back a large number of weapons and ammunition from Fujian Province.

After Yudu and Ruijin City were captured by the instructor, the county magistrate Wu Changling panicked, and with the strong support of the county's landlords, he requisitioned a large number of laborers to build fortifications.

If it weren't for the fact that the third and fourth regiments led by Wang Huchen came too quickly, the next step would be to recruit the whole county to requisition the young and strong of the county, repair the damaged city walls, and the county security regiment would have been expanded to 2,500 people in one fell swoop.

More than 600,000 yuan of oceans and two boxes of gold bars were donated by the landlords, rich gentry, and merchants of the county to build the city wall and recruit troops.

The fierce magistrate of Huichang and the head of the security regiment were the first to flee before the third regiment broke through the defensive position in the west of the city, and in addition to more than 200 regiments and policemen who fled south with the county magistrate, there were also three powerful clansmen and more than 200 family members in the city, and these people also had a large number of weapons in their hands.

In order to prevent being attacked by the remnants of the enemy who jumped over the wall during the retreat, Wang Huchen had to be cautious, divided the experienced three regiments into two parts, and escorted the transport team composed of the five regiments back to Ruijin.

Duan Xuan, who was full of guts, didn't think as far as Wang Huchen thought, and after accepting the task happily, he smiled at Wang Huchen with a cautious face: "Why do you want to do so much?" It is more than 40 kilometers from Huichang to Ruijin, as long as there is no heavy rain on the road, it can be safely arrived in the evening...... Even if the hundreds of remnants of the enemy who slipped through the net turned back, they would not be able to keep up with the pace of our march. ”

Wang Huchen raised his head, instructed the two staff officers to put away the map and set off as soon as possible, pulled Duan Xuan and Qin Baijun to the door: "Be careful to travel the ship for ten thousand years!" If your attitude is known by the teacher, you will definitely be scolded. ”

Qin Baijun remembered that Duan Xuan was taught by Zheng Yi, and couldn't help laughing, Duan Xuan was depressed, and immediately rolled his eyes at Qin Baijun.

Wang Huchen said as he walked: "I have sent a telegram to the division commander, asking the division headquarters to mobilize the Red Guards to assist us and send more than 100 seriously wounded people back to the Chenggang base in Xingguo along with most of the captured supplies. ”

"From the enemy report sent by the division commander in the early morning, no one can judge which direction the 1st Division of the Dian Army will go south from Guangchang, if the enemy goes straight to Ningdu, everything will be easy, and within three days the strength of four regiments can be concentrated to destroy them......

"However, if the enemy stagnates, or if the enemy moves south from the east road, the whole battle situation will be complicated, so we must speed up the march and not make any mistakes."

Duan Xuan and Qin Baijun immediately put away their hearts of underestimating the enemy, and both sides said goodbye to Wang Huchen, and rushed to each battalion of the three regiments serving as the vanguard and the rear guard respectively.

……

……

Just when Wang Huchen and the two tired main regiments left Huichang and returned to Ruijin, the 2nd Division of the 39th Army and the 1st Independent Brigade of the enemy divided into two routes and approached the old camp in the north of Xingguo step by step.

The 1st Independent Brigade, which was heading south from Donggu, suddenly increased the speed of its march until the reconnaissance unit in front of it was violently attacked by the reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Company of the Instructor's Guards, and did not stop its southward movement.

Under the command of brigade commander Zhang Chaozhen, more than 4,600 troops of the Yunnan army seized Chongxian Township, and while rapidly arranging defenses, they sent a battalion of troops to pursue and attack the reconnaissance platoon of the guard company.

Chongxian Township is located in the north of Xingguo County, only 30 kilometers away from the county seat, separated from the old camp of the dangerous pass in the west by a mountain with a radius of 10 kilometers, and less than 5 kilometers away from the defensive position of the instructor's guard battalion.

After the reconnaissance platoon, which had lost seven brothers, retreated to its position, Zhao Weiqing, the commander of the second company of the guards, who had an experienced guard, immediately sent people to the county seat to report the enemy's situation, and then worked with Zeng Yi, the commander of the third company, to abandon the relatively flat first line of defense in the middle and lead their respective companies to retreat to the positions on both sides of Wulonggang, and condescendingly strike at the invading enemy.

……

……

At one o'clock at noon, Li Zhao, a tutor and political commissar sitting in Xingguo County, received an urgent report from the front and immediately called Li Shufang, commander of the first guard battalion who had just completed the expansion, and ordered him to immediately lead the remaining guard company to Wulonggang and hold the position at all costs.

Li Zhao, who had no bottom in his heart, quickly telegraphed the enemy situation to Zheng Yi, the instructor and teacher commander of Yudu, and in less than ten minutes, Zheng Yi's reply came quickly, and Li Zhao was relieved after reading it, and immediately ordered the teaching regiment that returned to Xingguo three hours ago to urgently reinforce the Wulonggang battlefield.

Dong Zongzhuo didn't say a word, and immediately returned to the barracks, informed the officers and men of the regiment of the enemy situation, and announced the order.

The 2,200 officers and men of the teaching regiment who were having dinner immediately threw down their rice bowls, shouldered their weapons, brought ammunition, and urgently assembled, and under the leadership of Dong Zongzhuo, the regiment commander and political commissar, and Wu Yaojie, the deputy regiment commander, they rushed through the city and rushed to Wulonggang.
