On the basis of maintaining the original structure, regiment commander Duan Xuan, deputy regiment commander Li Liangde, and political commissar Qin Baijun forced division commander Zheng Yi and chief of staff Wang Huchen to agree to their demands by means of arguing with reason, stalking and fighting, and playing tricks, and obtained seven mortars and eight brand-new Makqin heavy machine guns that were originally planned to be assigned to Li Lianshan's first regiment, and used this as the capital to form the same machine gun battalion as the second regiment, and also obtained the main force of 2,150 people.
Since Huang Guoxing's Fifth Regiment was the newly formed main force, it suffered few casualties and did not lose much in the battles last night and early this morning, so except for the poorly equipped Second and Third Battalions, which were all replaced with captured 38 rifles, they did not receive additional expansion, and the whole regiment still maintained an establishment of 1,650 men.
As for Chen Minxian's Fourth Regiment, it did not make any adjustments because it would take the lead tomorrow morning and return to the Donghuashan base area, as a surprise army, to maintain a threat to the surrounding counties of Guangchang, Nanfeng, Yihuang, and Le'an at any time.
Considering that most of the rifles and light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Fourth Regiment were of 7.92 caliber, and that there was still a surplus of weapons and equipment left in Donghua Mountain, Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen briefly discussed and then solicited the opinions of Chen Minxian and others, and finally decided to leave more than 100 lightly and seriously wounded soldiers of the Fourth Regiment behind, and to allocate to the Fourth Regiment the 300 Japanese-made 38 rifles and 150 carefully selected Hanyang 79 rifles they had captured, and let the Fourth Regiment take away 600,000 rounds of 7.92 caliber general-purpose ammunition from the captured ammunition and materials. One hundred and twenty boxes of grenades and six hundred horses.
In this adjustment, the Ningdu County Party Committee and its three subordinate Red Guard brigades also gained greatly.
The Red Guards, which had grown to more than 3,500 people, originally only had more than 400 miscellaneous rifles given by their instructors, and even 12 comrades, including the chief and deputy secretaries of the county party committee, members of the committee, and ministers of various departments, had only four shell guns.
At the military-political meeting held in the evening, the comrades of the Ningdu County Party Committee had already made ideological preparations for sending half of the Red Guards into the army, but in the end, the instructors only asked for 1,000 of them to be selected from the army, and they had to be selected from the 1st and 2nd Red Guard Brigades, which had been trained for three months by 50 instructors.
The comrades of the county party committee did not say a word, but immediately agreed happily.
In order to support local development and support local armed forces, Zheng Yi made a commitment on behalf of the Party Committee of the Instructor:
Fifty military instructors will continue to be left behind to recruit and train Red Guards for the Ningdu County Party Committee, and 15 Browning pistols, more than 1,200 reloaded Russian-made rifles, 250 new Hanyang 79 rifles, 12 Belgian-made light machine guns and 250,000 rounds of ammunition, and 80,000 can be used in the ocean!
So far, all the cadres of the Ningdu County CPC Committee and more than 2,500 Red Guards have all possessed relatively advanced weapons and equipment, and their combat effectiveness has increased several times, and they have become the most powerful local armed forces in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.
……
……
10 p.m., Hong Kong.
Song Ziqing, the deputy head of the intelligence station, stubbornly entered the gate of the luxurious Zheng family's mansion, and under the enthusiastic guidance of the concierge Uncle Zheng, he walked through the smooth and delicate lawn, climbed the third-level granite steps, and bowed respectfully to Zheng Lanting, who came out with a pipe and a smile at the door.
Zheng Lanting looked Song Ziqing up and down, then nodded with a smile: "Xiao Song, this is the first time you have come to the door, come and come, you're welcome, sit down and talk!" ”
"I remember you're from Huangzhou, the same village as Maofu, right?"
Where did Song Ziqing dare to sit down? Respectfully bowed to the eldest lady and the fourth wife: "What Uncle Zheng said is that the younger generation and Maofu are from the same village, and the parents, grandfather, grandmother and three younger siblings in the family all moved to Hong Kong from their hometown in Huangzhou in August last year. ”
"The younger generation followed Maofu to the command of Master Zheng at the beginning of last year, and then studied at the Wuhan branch of the Whampoa Military Academy, and only left the army at the end of last year to come to Hong Kong."
Zheng Lanting's eyebrows shook slightly, and he smiled and asked Song Ziqing to sit down again.
Song Ziqing hurriedly took out two densely written telegrams from his briefcase, sent them to Zheng Lanting with both hands, and carefully introduced:
"Uncle Zheng, this is the message we just received in the evening...... In the north of Ningdu in southern Jiangxi, the communist army instructors annihilated the First Division of the 39th Army of the National Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop, capturing more than 5,200 officers and men, including Yang Yuhan, commander of the division, and Li Sisu, chief of staff of the colonel, and the 1st Division of the 39th Army, which had just completed the refitting and had more than 11,800 officers and men, was completely wiped out. ”
"In addition, the day before the outbreak of the Battle of Ningdu, the Second Division of the 39th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which attacked Xingguo, was attacked by a small group of communist troops, the ammunition depot and headquarters were blown up, and thousands of officers and soldiers were killed and wounded.
Zheng Lanting was extremely shocked after hearing this, the eldest lady and the fourth wife sitting on the side were stunned, and Uncle Zheng, who had just walked down the front steps, suddenly stopped, clenched his fists and trembled, and returned to the front gatehouse with a smile on his face.
Zheng Lanting hurriedly put down his pipe, took the message and put it on his lap, quickly picked up reading glasses from the coffee table on the side and put them on, picked up the message again and read it carefully.
A few minutes later, Zheng Lanting slowly leaned back on the leather chair, his hand stroked his chin, and the dark color in his eyes was very complicated: "Very good, very timely, I will call the editor-in-chief of the newspaper in a while and publish this amazing news on the front page tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng! If there is no other command, the junior takes his leave. Song Ziqing stood up and smiled respectfully.
Zheng Lanting sighed: "Go ahead, I won't send you." ”
Song Ziqing bowed and left, and the fourth wife immediately sat down next to Zheng Lanting and asked curiously: "Master, this little Song is the second child's liaison in Hong Kong, right?" ”
Zheng Lanting nodded: "You just know, don't make a noise...... Mao Fu mentioned Xiao Song to me before leaving, he was the same as Mao Fu, he had been Yi'er's guard for a few months, listening to his self-introduction just now, it is estimated that he was deeply respected and trusted by Yi'er, otherwise he would never suddenly come to the door, and also sent Yi'er led the army to annihilate a division of the People's Party army The amazing news, and this battle happened this morning, it's incredible! ”
The fourth aunt was too stunned, and her charming eyes widened: "My God! After the news appeared in the newspaper, I don't know how much shock it would cause......"
Zheng Lanting pondered for a moment and immediately stood up: "No, I have to make a phone call, immediately retypeset, publish the news on the front page, and at the same time telegraph to the Shanghai and Haihai sides, so that Xuan'er's "Oriental News" newspaper can report it at the same time." ”
"Some time ago, the "Oriental News" newspaper serialized the war scene, which aroused huge repercussions from all walks of life at home and abroad, and the sales of the newspaper increased rapidly, and now it has reached 50,000 copies per day, and the municipal and financial magazines launched at the beginning of the year are also becoming more and more popular from all walks of life."
"As long as it can be maintained, the media under the name of our Zheng family can become the top news authority in China, and this opportunity must not be missed!"
