When the general of the Third Army of the Yunnan Army was struggling with the direction of the possible attack, the 15th Regiment of the 7th Division stationed in Ganxian County suddenly sent an urgent report: About three regiments of the Red Army launched a fierce attack on me!

The attending generals were stunned, they never expected that the military commander Wang Jun's worries would come true so quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Jun decisively announced the end of the meeting and ordered Li Shilong, commander of the 7th Division, to lead the 14th Regiment to reinforce Ganxian County, and the 16th Regiment to serve as a reserve; Li Wenbin, commander of the Ninth Division, was ordered to stay in Ganzhou, expand the scope of reconnaissance, and be ready to reinforce the battlefield in Ganxian at any time.

Ganzhou City is only 10 kilometers away from Ganxian County, but it has to cross the Ganjiang River more than 600 meters wide through Yangmei Ferry, so it will take two hours for the reinforcements of the Yunnan army to arrive no matter how fast they react.

When Li Shilong, who was the first to set off, led the 14th Regiment to the west gate of Ganxian County, two and a half hours had passed, and a regiment of instructors who had attacked the north gate of the county town quickly withdrew eastward, and the fierce gunfire in the east and south of the city continued.

The anxious Li Shilong had already heard that the rumbling explosion in the east of the city was coming from the Qiwu Mountain Artillery, where did he dare to lead the new force to bypass the north of the city and launch an attack on a retreating regiment of the Red Army?

After a slight hesitation, Li Shilong decisively sent someone to report to the army commander Wang Jun about the Red Army's possession of 75 artillery, and ordered the 14th Regiment to rush into the city as quickly as possible to reinforce the direction of the East Gate, where the fighting was fierce.

Li Shilong personally led the 16th Regiment as a reserve to turn south, bypassing the moat outside the city wall, and quickly killing the big pier in the south of the city.

Forty minutes later, Wang Jun, commander of the Third Army, and Zeng Wanzhong, chief of staff, led the most elite guard regiment of the whole army to rush to the city of Ganxian County.

"Ten minutes ago, the communist (gongjun) army retreated on all fronts, and at this moment tens of thousands of people are gathering to dig trenches and build fortifications in an area about 800 meters away from the east gate and the northeast city wall, the 15th regiment suffered great losses under the hour-long artillery bombardment of the communist (gongjun) army, more than 340 officers and men such as regimental deputy Yuan Zhenggang and the first battalion commander Liu Yuzhang who defended the east city wall died heroically, and the other battalions were killed and wounded to varying degrees, and nearly half of the officers and men of the whole regiment were lost, if it were not for the timely arrival of reinforcements, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Wang Jun's expression was solemn, he glanced at the smoky east of the city, and then looked at the silent south of the city: "How is the situation outside the south gate?" ”

Li Shilong replied angrily: "After his subordinates ordered the 14th Regiment to reinforce the East Gate, he immediately led the 16th Regiment to bypass the city wall and rush to the South Gate. ”

"Therefore, the subordinates could not judge the exact location of the communist artillery position, but they could confirm that in the northeast direction, there were at least eight 75 guns."

"Did the Gongjun Army use mortars?" Chief of Staff Zeng Wanzhong asked.

Li Shilong nodded: "The communist (gongjun) army attacking the north gate used mortars, the number was not much, about six to eight, but it was very accurate, and the firepower points on the city were destroyed by the communist (gongjun) mortars, but under the stubborn counterattack of the soldiers of the fifteenth regiment, the communist (gongjun) army could not break through the west gate." ”

Wang Jun turned over and got on his horse again: "Let's go, go to the east city wall and have a look!" ”

At the foot of Fengshu Ridge, two kilometers northeast of Ganxian County, Zheng Yi, the head of the instructor, Zhang Yao, the chief of staff, Zhou Bingyao, the head of the Third Regiment, and Han Shoucheng, the special commissioner, were urgently discussing.

"What about the losses of the ministries?"

"One hundred and thirty-one people were killed and wounded in the Third Regiment, seventy-six were killed or wounded in the First Red Guard Brigade of Xingguo, and the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment withdrew from the south of the city through the south bank without any casualties."

"Did the shells come in?"

"Seventeen wagons brought in 1,200 rounds of 75 shells and 600 rounds of mortar shells."

"Report, Deputy Division Commander Zhao sent an urgent telegram: A regiment has successfully arrived in Xingguo!"

"Excellent! Telegraphed to Deputy Division Commander Zhao: Rest in place, replenish ammunition and materials, the 3rd Special Service Company and the 2nd Engineer Battalion have left Yudu at 8 o'clock this morning and rushed to rejuvenate the country! ”

"Yes!"

The two political officers from the Red Fourth Army were full of doubts, and the commissioner Han Shouren was also confused, looked left and right, and pulled Zhang Yao, who was about to leave, next to him:

"When did you have a second engineer battalion? What is it for? ”

Zhang Yao, who had been holding his urine for three hours, pointed to Zheng Yi, who was talking to Zhou Bingyao in a low voice after giving the order: "You ask him to go, I want to pee." ”

Han Shouren thought for a moment and walked quickly to Zheng Yi's side: "What is the nature of the Second Engineer Battalion?" ”

Zheng Yi smiled: "The newly established Flying Thunder Artillery Unit has a total of three companies, two companies are responsible for launching, and one company is responsible for the manufacture and transportation of artillery shells. ”

"Flying thunder cannons? What is Flying Thunder Cannon? Han Shouren was puzzled, thinking that Lao Tzu had been away from the instructor for less than a year, why did a flying thunder cannon suddenly appear?

Zheng Yi leaned close to Han Shouren's ear and whispered, "The Flying Thunder Cannon is a conscienceless cannon, understand?" ”

Han Shouren was pleasantly surprised: "It's done?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "It's done, the propellant is prepared by ourselves, the warhead is loaded with 3.5 kilograms of imported yellow explosive (zhayao) medicine and one kilogram of iron sand, detonated through the lei guan tube, the launch canister is made of thin steel plates, the maximum range is more than 400 meters, the best range is between 200 meters and 350 meters, the launch is more convenient and fast, the accuracy is also good, the deviation of the landing point within 400 meters is not more than 10 meters, and the killing radius is more than 25 meters." ”

"Such a good thing, why not attack Ganxian County now?" Han Shouren asked eagerly.

Zheng Yi immediately gave him a roll of his eyes: "When did I say that I was going to take Ganxian County?" ”

Han Shouren was speechless for a moment, the attack on Ganxian was purely a feint, the purpose was to drag the strength of the Third Army of the Yunnan Army on the southern front, and create conditions for Zhao Jingting to lead a regiment to attack Wan'an County. Once Wan'an is captured, the entire battle situation in western and southern Jiangxi will be revitalized, and the enemy will fall into great passivity.

Despite this, Han Shouren still felt the need to take Gan County: "Let me tell you, the main force of the Red Fourth Army has set off, and it will take Suichuan County by tomorrow morning at the latest, and then go south to Guidong as quickly as possible. ”

Zheng Yi smiled: "Pull it down!" After the two counties of Wan'an and Guidong were taken by our two armies, where did the enemy still have the strength to continue to attack Jinggangshan, which did not have the main force of the Red Army? ”

"Not to mention anything else, Wu Shang's Eighth Army of the Hunan Army will definitely turn around and go south to ensure that Chenzhou and Yizhang, which have just been recovered, will not fall, and if the Ninth Army of Jin Handing stationed in Ji'an does not rush to the aid of Wan'an as soon as possible, Lao Tzu will continue to attack Taihe County, so how can the enemy still have the strength to attack Jinggangshan?"

"Can't you see which is more important?"

Han Shouren insisted on his opinion: "But if we defeat Gan County, won't we take the initiative?" ”

Zheng Yi shook his head: "The purpose of not fighting Ganxian County is to fight a big battle with the Third Army of the Yunnan Army, do you think that I dispatched two main regiments, and worked hard to pull over the artillery battalion that had just become an army, and also launched more than 5,000 Red Guards and tens of thousands of fathers and villagers in Xingguo and Ningdu counties, just for a feint?" ”

Han Shouren was pleasantly surprised: "Haha, I understand!" You've even hidden it from me, it's treacherous......"
