After the order was issued, more than 100 brothers of the spy company took the lead in setting out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The officers and men of the police company led more than 20 war horses carrying heavy machine guns and ammunition boxes and followed closely, and the first battalion of the guard regiment urgently assembled and rushed to the southern mountain pass, where they were ready for battle.
A few minutes later, the whole valley was crowded, all the soldiers who could walk moved, and Comrade Peng, who was extremely weak, and the two regiment commanders were successively put on horseback by Tian Antai and Liu Qihui, and followed behind the stretcher team that set off one after another, and slowly walked to the north mountain pass.
Comrade Peng, who was lying on the back of the horse and coughing, saw Tian Antai personally leading the horse for himself, and he was excited and persuaded repeatedly: "Commander Tian, your task is to command the overall situation, you don't need to lead the horse for me!" Go, give me the reins, and I can do it. ”
Tian Antai smiled: "It's dark, the road is not easy to walk, the starlight tonight is not bright enough, and we don't dare to light torches under the eyes of the enemy, so we can only walk slowly." ”
"Wait until you get out of the pass, cross the creek, and enter the western mountain road......
"How can I be confident that you will ride your own horse? If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to our division commander? ”
"Besides, the order has been conveyed, the battalion and company commanders know how to do it, and there is no need for me to personally command, haha!"
Surging with emotion, he coughed again and again under emotion, and it took a while to calm down: "I never dreamed that you were Comrade Zheng Yi's troops......"
"After the two sentinels disappeared in the afternoon, I thought it was over, it must be the main force of the Cantonese army that quietly surrounded us, and the comrades were ready to fight to the death, but I didn't expect that the sentry who was captured by you brought you not long after, no one can believe it!"
"It wasn't until you took out the contact document signed by Commissar Mao and Comrade Zheng Yi that I believed that all this was true, and the comrades were all ecstatic and burst into tears...... I'll never forget it! ”
Tian Antai hurriedly comforted: "You don't have to think too much, we will definitely be able to break through smoothly!" ”
"Although the officers and men of the Red Fourth Division are very tired, their morale is high, and all the seriously wounded have been properly treated, and they will definitely be able to get to Tingzhou."
"After we have safely withdrawn from the encirclement, I will immediately send a report to our division commander, asking him to send a regiment and five hundred horses to come to meet him, bring all the military doctors and health soldiers of the division headquarters, and bring enough medicines and surgical instruments to hurry over, and then we will turn around and head west, concentrate our forces on Wuping County, and enter Wuping County to rest."
"Okay! Everything is up to you, we are not afraid of the night march, we can get through by gritting our teeth, although we walk a little slower, but I believe that the comrades of the Red Fourth Division will not be left behind. ”
Comrade Peng's tone was firm, and his eyes were blazing in his sunken eyes, as if no difficulty could crush him.
……
……
At two o'clock in the morning, Tingzhou City God Temple, teaching instructors.
In the conference room on the east side of the main hall, the lights were bright and smoky, and the instructor Zheng Yi, the political commissar Li Zhao, and the chief of staff Wang Huchen were still not sleepy.
Li Zhao saw Zhang Yao, the deputy chief of staff, come in quietly, and hurriedly motioned for him to sit down: "Is there a telegram contact?" ”
Zhang Yao shook his head slightly: "Not yet, it seems that I am afraid that there will be no further news until dawn." ”
Li Zhao sighed, looked at Wang Huchen, who was thinking silently on the other side, and asked, "Huchen, what kind of situation do you think will happen over there?" ”
Wang Huchen threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the full ashtray: "The biggest possibility is that the army is marching rapidly, otherwise the contact will not be interrupted for seven hours." ”
"Is it possible that there was a fierce battle with the Cantonese army, and it was too late to send a report for a while?" Li Zhao asked.
Wang Huchen shook his head and explained with a smile: "If there was really a fierce battle, Tian Antai's guy would have sent back an emergency telegram a long time ago, even if the fight was very fierce, there was still time to send and receive the report, unless the radio station was hit by a shell, or it was broken." ”
Zheng Yi saw Li Zhao's worried look, so he had to comfort him again: "Don't worry, Lao Li, you know very well how the combat effectiveness of the guard regiment is, not to mention that there is a spy company on the side to escort it, even if the worst prediction is made, it is impossible for the Guangdong army to send a division to attack and attack fiercely, and it is impossible to defeat the guard regiment in one day." ”
"That area is all hills and hills, no matter how many troops there are, they can't use it, and in a hurry, the enemy can't push the artillery up at all, and it's a night battle, how can it be possible to defeat Tian Antai's guard regiment in a short time?"
"Huchen is right, the most likely is that the Guard Regiment and the Red Fourth Army are on the march...... The weather tonight was fine, the night sky was clear, the sky was full of stars, and the night march was not a problem, at most it was a matter of walking slower. ”
Li Zhao sighed, whether he believed it or not, he could only comfort himself like this.
Zheng Yi looked around: "It is estimated that everyone will not be able to sleep tonight, so why don't you take this opportunity to discuss the adjustment of the division's subordinate departments and main regiments, how about it?" ”
The brothers agreed.
Li Zhao thought for a while and said, "The Political Department and the General Staff Section have basically been decided, let's start with the re-established Teaching Brigade." ”
Zheng Yi nodded: "The eighty instructors who are currently responsible for the recruitment and training of recruits in the Chengxi military camp, as well as the five political cadres who have gone down from the division headquarters, can serve as the commander of the battalion of the teaching brigade, staff officers at all levels, and party representatives, and the candidates for the captain and political commissar are proposed by everyone." ”
Li Zhao, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, none of them proposed suitable candidates for captain and political commissar.
After being silent for a long time, Li Zhao turned to Zhang Yao, the deputy chief of staff beside him: "How about you concurrently serving as the captain?" ”
Zhang Yao shook his head again and again: "No, the division headquarters has just transferred 50 soldiers with a certain cultural foundation from each regiment to enter the telecommunications class for training, and I can't leave here!" ”
Wang Huchen also disagreed: "Yaozi really can't move, in addition to the communication company and telecommunications class, the intelligence and military logistics departments need him to assist in management, I am really too busy alone!" ”
"Seeing that the second officer training course is going to start again, Yaozi still has to be in charge of communications and intelligence courses."
Li Zhao had no choice but to give up, thought about it and asked, "Aren't comrades such as Luo Huaisheng, Deng Zihui and Zhang Dingcheng going to join our division?" Any one of them is competent for the work of the regimental political commissar, can we arrange them to work in our division as soon as possible? ”
Zheng Yi said with a smile: "The comrades in western Fujian have a new idea, they hope to form five new regiments within two months, that is, the strength of two divisions. ”
"How is this possible!?"
Li Zhao's eyes widened: "Didn't you say okay, first send us 5,000 recruits, until yesterday only sent us three batches of recruits with a total of 2,700 people, nearly half of them are either too old or in good health, and they don't meet the recruitment requirements of our division at all!" ”
"I estimate that it will take at least two months to gather 5,000 qualified soldiers for us, where can they afford to recruit five regiments of recruits?"
"Besides, there aren't enough weapons and equipment!"
Wang Huchen reminded: "Don't underestimate the comrades in western Fujian, their mobilization ability is still very strong, and the population of the surrounding counties is nearly one million, and the few are three or five hundred thousand, as long as the propaganda is effective, it is very likely that 10,000 young people will be recruited within two months." ”
"There are also some recruits in the military camp in the west of the city who do not meet our requirements, they don't dislike it, there is almost a regiment, as long as we can conquer the surrounding counties of Wuping, Shanghang, Guihua, Qingliu, Liancheng, Longyan and other counties, it is estimated that 20,000 young people can also be recruited."
Li Zhao was speechless, thinking about it and finding that there was still this possibility, Zheng Yi nodded happily, and even Zhang Yao was optimistic about the recruiting ability of the comrades in western Fujian.
