When the defenders of Ganzhou were discussing nervously, Zheng Yi, who was sitting in County G, was also convening a military meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Yi, together with Wang Huchen, Duan Xuan, commander of the Third Regiment, Tian Antai, commander of the guard battalion, the staff group of the division headquarters, and Li Zhao, the political commissar who led the Red Guards to G County, changed the original plan, recalculated it according to the battle report sent by the Second Regiment and the latest reconnaissance situation of the First Regiment, and carefully analyzed the rapidly changing battlefield situation.

Half an hour later, Zheng Yi decisively issued a series of orders:

"Call Commander Zhao of the Second Regiment, if the enemy takes the initiative to attack, retreat immediately after a slight resistance, quickly return to Hualin Temple, three kilometers behind, occupy the high ground on both sides and then counterattack."

"Commander Li of the 1st Regiment was ordered to expand the reconnaissance area to the mouth of the Sancha River, which is five kilometers to the northwest, and to send two companies in turn to search the three villages north of the position, so as to strictly prevent the landlords and inferior gentry from snooping on the military situation and passing on information."

"The 3rd Regiment took out a battalion, and after lunch, it went to Zhongfang Village, two kilometers to the southwest, and used machine gun fire to block the two small piers in the north and south, as well as the two kilometers upstream and downstream of the river, and if necessary, immediately cross the south bank to support the 2nd Regiment in the operation."

Duan Xuan and the staff groups took the order, and Li Zhao also rushed to the military camp south of the county ya, and organized more than 2,000 requisitioned men and captured cattle, horses, and vehicles to transport the grain piled up in the five warehouses and the confiscated large amount of materials back to Xingguo.

Wang Huchen thought for a moment and made a suggestion to Zheng Yi: "At present, we have a total of 720 prisoners of the Yunnan army, nearly 800 soldiers of the security regiment and puppet policemen of County G, except for the 800 security regiments and puppet policemen who were escorted to a regiment to build trenches, more than 720 prisoners of the Yunnan army are imprisoned in the camp in the south. ”

"It's better to make use of these captives, otherwise not only will they have to eat and drink, but they will also have to leave two companies of officers and soldiers to guard them, and they won't be able to do it!"

"That's a problem! We have limited troops, and we really can't waste it on guarding the prisoners, how do you think it is better to use these Yunnan prisoners? ”

Zheng Yi really couldn't think of a way, so he could only ask Wang Huchen's opinion.

Wang Huchen, who was as careful as a hair, already had a plan: "First select the officers and wounded among the captives and detain them separately, and then take out the big smokers among them, escort them to a regiment to build fortifications, and then let them go back after starving half to death, so that Yang Chi will have a headache!" ”

"The remaining soldiers are estimated to be less than 300 people, divided into teams of 100 people, and handed over to the Red Guards of Political Commissar Li to take care of, responsible for carrying food."

Zheng Yi nodded: "Good way, I agree!" Especially for the treatment of the big smokers, these soldiers and ruffians will lose their breath when they run out of 500 meters, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield at all, and they will consume food if they are kept, and they will violate discipline and violate the peace of heaven when they are killed, and you will do this in the future. ”

Wang Huchen smiled: "There are also Tian Antai's two spy companies, which should be able to be dispatched after resting until the evening." ”

Zheng Yi grinned: "It depends on how Lao Zhao plays, haha!" ”

……

……

It was nearly noon, and the drizzle was getting heavier and heavier.

The trenches of the instructor had just been dug and unobstructed, and after half an hour, they were mostly overwhelmed by the rain curtain falling from the sky and the turbid rain flowing everywhere.

The officers and men of the Second Regiment on the Longgang Mountain position also became chickens in the soup, and the two regiments of Yang Chisheng's division in Ganzhou City also gave up their plans to go out of the city to fight.

Such a scene made the generals on both sides sigh with emotion, which is in line with the common saying often heard on the battlefield: people are not as good as heaven!

After noon, the rain became smaller, but it still continued, and it fell "whoosh", and it seemed that there was no time to stop for half a day.

The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Regiments had no choice but to follow the latest orders of the division commander Zheng Yi, abandon their positions, and withdraw to G County for rest, except for the 3rd Regiment and 1st Battalion led by Duan Xuan, who continued to stay in Zhongfang Village on the north bank of the Ganjiang River and closely monitored the section of the river between G County and Ganzhou City.

A large amount of grain and materials seized in the county town of G had been loaded, and in such ghost weather, it was impossible to transport it back to Xingguo according to the original plan, so political commissar Li Zhao had no choice but to lead 300 Red Guards and more than 1,000 people to set up dozens of cauldrons and light piles of bonfires to boil ginger syrup for the soldiers who had returned one after another, bake soaked clothes, and constantly boil hot water for the soldiers to take a bath to ward off the cold.

The hall of the county government of G County was lively again, and the heads and deputy heads and political commissars of the regiments who hurriedly took a bath, changed their clothes, and had lunch gathered together, smoking cigarettes and drinking hot tea to discuss enthusiastically.

"This kind of weather is good for us, the enemy of Ganzhou will not come out in two or three days, just use two days to take a good rest."

Zhao Jingting, commander of the Second Regiment, happily made a prediction that his Second Regiment had suffered less than 100 casualties in the continuous battle, but more than 200 people fell ill in the bad weather.

"That's right! I really need to take a good rest. ”

In order to reduce the number of wounds, maintain combat effectiveness, and relieve the burden of the brothers, Li Lianshan did not hesitate to violate discipline, and when he retreated, he drove all the more than 400 tired and half-dead prisoners who had built trenches to the ferry and let them return to Ganzhou City on their own.

After leading his troops back to the city, Li Lianshan forcibly requisitioned the carriage and horse shops in the West Gate and the wide courtyards of the two wealthy gentry, and the brothers of the three battalions ate a sumptuous meal and got a good rest.

Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen did not blame Li Lianshan for this, the large camp and the two warehouses in the city had been occupied by the Red Guards led by Li Zhao and thousands of people, and the two military camps in the East Gate and the North Gate Street were not large, and the three regiments and two battalions in charge of the city defense were stationed in the meantime.

Zhao Jingting's Second Regiment could only temporarily stationed in the warehouse and a dozen shops outside the south gate, and Tian Antai's guard battalion and division headquarters were crowded together in the county government compound, and there was indeed no place to settle the hard-working and meritorious officers of the regiment.

It didn't take long for the political commissar Li Zhao to arrive in the rain, he handed over the hat and coat to the guard at the entrance of the lobby and walked inside, took the hot tea handed by Wang Huchen, sat on the empty stool by the brazier, and shivered coldly: "Suddenly the sky changed, I didn't expect it to be so cold after Qingming." ”

Zheng Yi came to Li Zhao and sat down: "Do you have a cold?" ”

Li Zhao smiled, drank a cup of hot tea in a few sips, let out a long breath, and laughed in a low voice: "I poured a big bowl of ginger syrup before, and I sweated, and I felt much better." ”

"I'm here to ask for your opinion...... There were so many grain supplies that were seized, rice and soybeans alone were piled up in four large warehouses, and the more than 100 truckloads that had been loaded were only one-third of them! ”

"In addition, more than 500 bags of uniforms and quilts, more than 200 bags of salt with marijuana, hundreds of boxes of medicinal materials purchased from three pharmacies in the city, more than 2,000 pieces of cloth and silk obtained from the raids, more than 500 head of cattle, steel and a large number of hardware tools were seized.

"With only the 300 Red Guards and more than 1,000 strong men under my command, it will not be able to transport them away in three days, do you see if you can send two battalions of brothers to assist in the transport team, and seize the time to transport all the materials to Jiangkou Town first, and then the 3,000 young men organized by the XG County Party Committee will be transported back?"

"No problem, the arrangement of segmented transportation is very good, and then let Lao Zhao and Lianshan transfer a battalion to your command, and the pack horses of each regiment will also be used by you, but, have the men and horses organized by the XG County Party Committee arrived at Jiangkou?" Zheng Yi asked with concern.

Li Zhao nodded, and stretched his soaked sleeves to the charcoal fire to bake: "The Second Brigade of the Xingguo Red Guards was the first to arrive at Jiangkou at dawn, and sent a fast horse to report to me half an hour ago that the 3,500 young men urgently mobilized by the XG County Party Committee walked slowly, and it is estimated that they have arrived in Jiangkou Town at this time. ”

Zheng Yi immediately called Li Lianshan and Zhao Jingting, discussed it slightly, and immediately took action, and more than a dozen quartermaster staff officers and military affairs staff officers from the division headquarters were dispatched to assist Li Zhao in transporting and delivering supplies.
