Ganzhong, Donghua Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shangguan Yong and Lu Xiangrong walked hand in hand through a ten-meter-long newly built wooden bridge, and entered the entrance of a small village with only more than ten households. ”

Lu Xiangrong smiled proudly: "That's right, in the past, this place was full of wasteland overgrown with thorns and weeds, and there was not half a figure within a radius of five miles. ”

"After the arrival of the chief of staff, he thought that this place was the only main road leading to Jinhua Mountain, and it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was a small river three zhang wide and one zhang deep in the west, forming an excellent situation that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as it was slightly reclaimed and a company was stationed, it could hold the throat road leading to Jinhua Mountain."

"So, we concentrated our manpower to build 16 small farm yards, reclaimed more than 2,000 acres of paddy fields and mountains, and placed seven disabled old brothers here, four of whom married She women as wives, and then fell off and took root."

"A company of our first battalion is stationed here, and from time to time it is pretending to be a bandit to go out to rob it, and I just finished working in the field a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to come suddenly."

Shangguan Yong sighed greatly: "The division commander once told me that Chief of Staff Wang is meticulous and broad-minded, and in terms of military defense and tactical decision-making, none of the military commanders in the whole division can compare with him. ”

Lu Xiangrong stopped: "Are you ready to take action?" ”

Shangguan Yong nodded: "I brought an order signed by the division party committee and the division commander, within five days, the first and second regiments will launch an attack on Xingguo County, and then attack Ningdu County in the south." ”

"It's a pity that Lao Yu and I, as well as the fourteen spy brothers brought this time, will continue to advance eastward, and we will not be able to participate in the battle against Xingguo and Ningdu."

Lu Xiangrong was overjoyed, and then he remembered something, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do to the east?" To the east is the border of Guangchang, where most of the landlords and local tyrants and gentry who had fled had returned in less than a few months after a series of wars......"

"It is said that the Kuomintang Jiangxi provincial government has sent officials to Guangchang, Nanchang, Ruijin and other counties to re-establish the county government and the county party headquarters, vigorously recruit strong men, and form county security regiments and township landlords' armed forces."

"Now that there are no more of our troops on the entire Fujian-Jiangxi border, what's the use of you leading a dozen people over at this time?"

Shangguan Yong pulled Lu Xiangrong and continued to walk forward: "You are the battalion-level commander, and you are the old brother who followed the division commander all the way from Guangzhou, so I don't need to hide it from you......"

"This time, Lao Yu and I were ordered to return to my hometown of Putian, try our best to establish a material transportation channel to Ruijin, and then find a foothold in Tingzhou, on the border of Jiangxi and Fujian, a bit like when you stayed in Donghua Mountain."

"We came here this time mainly to bring the combat orders of the division party committee and division commander, as well as to send you a Siemens radio station and two telegraph operators, so we will continue to walk east tomorrow until we reach my hometown of Putian."

Lu Xiangrong was shocked, and immediately sped up his pace after a little consideration: "Go!" Don't stay in the village, I'll accompany you directly up the mountain, get down to business first, let's have a drink tonight, I want to toast you three bowls! ”

……

February 9, 1928, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

The sun is shining brightly, and the earth is rejuvenated.

Four consecutive days of sunny weather made Xiaping, surrounded by mountains, show vitality, and the long-planned military skills competition of the instructor was carried out smoothly.

During the three-day competition, 550 outstanding officers and men selected by the battalions and companies of the three main regiments, including the recruit training camp, participated in five military skill competitions: 5-kilometer cross-country with full armed weapons, 200-meter target shooting, 1,500-meter obstacle crossing, grenade throwing, and hand-to-hand combat.

As of the afternoon of 9 February, the so-called "military pentathlon contest" was successfully concluded.

After three rounds of high-intensity and high-standard hard work, only 52 of the 550 outstanding officers and men successfully passed the final selection and obtained the qualifications to enter the special service company directly under the division headquarters, and another 120 officers and men with outstanding achievements were organized on the spot into a guard company under the leadership of the division headquarters and will soon follow the main regiments to a new battlefield.

In the evening, the last military meeting before the departure continued, and after three hours of continuous discussions, the remaining troops and officers were finalized.

Military training, soldier recruitment, regional defense, and civil administration in the base areas were all handed over to the left-behind leading group composed of Han Shouren, deputy division commander, Qin Shuming, member of the party committee and secretary of the Xiaping District Party Committee, and Li Caijuan, member of the party committee and secretary of the party branch of the division's hospital.

The left-behind units are the engineer battalion, the first company of the baggage battalion, the first and second companies of the guard battalion, and two recruit companies under training, with more than 1,500 officers and men left behind.

After intense discussions, the Third Regiment, composed of two battalion recruits and 50 officers, finally obtained the consent of most of the officers at and above the regimental level, and followed the two main regiments to Xingguo to participate in the battle.

After Li Zhao, the political commissar of the division, summed up, the division commander Zheng Yi announced the dismissal of the meeting, and the commanders of each regiment rushed back to their respective stations overnight to make preparations before departure.

Han Shouren, deputy division commander, and other people in charge who stayed behind followed Duan Xuan, the commander of the third regiment, to the Songshan military camp and received the Songshan military camp in advance.

Not long after Zheng Yi returned to his dormitory, Han Shouren arrived quietly, he sat quietly by the brazier, didn't say anything, and silently turned the unripe roasted sweet potatoes with tongs.

"Seeing you feel uncomfortable like this, it's not a parting of life and death, maybe you'll be back next month...... To give! Zheng Yi buried the sadness in his heart deep in his heart and handed the cigarette to Han Shouren.

Han Shouren took the cigarette and put it on his mouth, picked up a charcoal and lit it slowly: "Don't lie to me, I know that after you go out this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back in less than a year and a half, and if you can open up a new revolutionary base in Xingguo and Ningdu, it will be even more difficult to have a chance to meet!" ”

"Now that Xiaping has been assigned to the leadership of the former committee of the base area, and I, the deputy division commander, have become a member of the former committee and military minister in a blink of an eye, it is estimated that in a few days, the division hospital will also be relocated to Ciping and merged into the general hospital of the base area, and I, the deputy division commander, am afraid that I will also move to Ciping to work."

Zheng Yi also couldn't give up in his heart, and after pondering for a moment, he comforted in a low voice: "Otherwise, you will go over when the base area in the east is established, to be honest, I am really not used to helping me without you by my side." ”

Han Shouren sighed: "Don't say anything, take out your wine and drink a glass, you and the brothers will leave tomorrow, and Caijuan and I won't have any weddings......" (To be continued.) )
