Chapter Ninety-Four: Deployment for the Battle of the Dadu River (2)
Lin Junxiong had already made a general understanding of the situation of the division headquarters during the day, and Xie Pufu lived in an independent courtyard, and there was a guard company guarding outside.
The two escaped the guards and successfully entered Xie Pufu's courtyard, Xie Pufu estimated that he was a little sleepy on the march all the way, and there was already a snoring sound, Lin Junxiong blew the ecstasy incense into the room, and waited for about half an hour before entering.
Found Xie Pufu's briefcase, opened it and looked dumbfounded, there was no deployment for the battle of the Dadu River at all, except for a few documents whose contents he knew, most of them were money, in order not to startle the snake, Lin Junxiong did not touch the money, and beckoned Dusheng to withdraw.
When he arrived at a safe place, Twilight asked eagerly, "Big brother, how is it, have you succeeded?" ”
"No, it seems that the deployment of the Dadu River battle has not been issued to the division level, and I only have to go to the column headquarters again."
An hour later, the two of them touched the outside of the temporary headquarters of Zhou Hunyuan's column, and when they saw that everywhere was heavily guarded, they had no idea for a while. The two watched outside for about an hour, and the time was close to twelve o'clock in the evening, Lin Junxiong really couldn't find a gap to enter, and was about to evacuate, when he saw two soldiers walking towards the division headquarters with a drunken officer.
Lin Junxiong motioned to Du Sheng to control the two soldiers one by one, and then the two flashed to both sides, and when the drunk officers came over, Lin Junxiong and the two quickly restrained and knocked one of the soldiers unconscious, Lin Junxiong said to the other soldier: "Who are you?" ”
The soldier looked at Lin Junxiong in horror and said, "Who are you and what are you going to do?" ”
Lin Junxiong grabbed him by the throat to prevent him from making a loud sound, and then asked: "We are the ones you look at unpleasantly, and I just saw that you didn't pay for eating and drinking in that restaurant." Say, Who are you? ”
Lin Junxiong knew that many of the Kuomintang officers did not give money because of their status when they ate out, and the local restaurant owner dared not speak out, and was deceived by Lin Junxiong, and the soldier hurriedly said: "A good man spares his life, we are the soldiers of Zhou Hunyuan's column, and the one on the ground is the chief of staff of the column." ”
"Say, is Zhou Hunyuan, the commander-in-chief of the column, in the temporary command center?"
"In the morning, when I was just drinking, Chief of Staff Qiao said that Commander-in-Chief Zhou was studying tomorrow's march plan at the headquarters."
Lin Junxiong knocked the soldier unconscious, then changed into soldiers' clothes with Dusheng, and helped Chief of Staff Qiao to the temporary headquarters.
When they arrived at the door, the guards stopped and said, "Who are you, it's Chief of Staff Qiao, you two letters are so eye-catching?" ”
Lin Junxiong pretended to be timid and lowered his head and said, "We were just patrolling outside, and two soldiers who claimed to be in the column said let's send Chief of Staff Qiao back to take care of them, and they will go out to do some errands and come back after a while." ”
"Oh, Zhang San and Wang Wu probably can't help but go looking for a woman, you hurry up and help Chief of Staff Qiao back to take care of it, get some sobering soup, if Commander Zhou sees it, you will scold him again."
Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng helped Chief of Staff Qiao to a hidden place and threw him to the ground, and learned Zhou Hunyuan's residence from the mouth of a person in the column.
Knocked down the two guards at the door and blew the ecstasy incense into it for a while, Lin Junxiong asked Dusheng to guard at the door, and went into the house to look for the documents himself, what made Lin Junxiong wonder was that except for a few inconsequential documents on the table, in the drawer, Zhou Hunyuan slept everywhere his briefcase was not seen.
Could it be that this document is guarded in an important place in the Provisional Command? It's not right, troops like them who are fighting on the front line don't have confidential rooms, and documents will only be packaged in official documents and then carried with them, but why aren't they? Could it be that Hun Yuan let others take it with him this week, it would be troublesome.
Lin Junxiong came to the bed where Zhou Hunyuan slept again, uncovered the quilt, searched carefully, and finally found his briefcase under the pillow.
Lin Junxiong raised his head, took out his briefcase and opened it, and finally found the deployment of the Battle of the Dadu River made by Chiang Kai-shek on May 16:
1. With all Yang Sen, without waiting for the troops to take over the defense (at this time, the main force of the Yang Department was still in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River to block the Red Army), Keri took a shortcut, rushed to the Dadu River to build a fortification, and held the whole line on the north bank of the Dadu River below the Anqing Dam (not included), and the main force controlled Fulin.
2. Liu Wenhui's department, in addition to the original troops stationed in Kang, Ba and Dadu River, should hold Xichang and Huili with strong troops to wait for reinforcements, and send another department to serve as the line from Anqing Dam (inclusive) through Chaluo, Sandao Bridge, Dayingpun, Daqiao, Mianning, Au Gujiao, Riverside, Shaba, and Tuolang, to Jifuchang, and mainly build a defensive block, and cut off contact with Yangbu on the left and Sun Du on the Yalong River on the right.
3. Long Yun should quickly cross the left bank of the Jinsha River with the columns of Wu, Zhou, and Li of Xue Yue's department, and attack the bandits besieging Huili to relieve the siege of Huili. In addition, the Sundu column took a shortcut to Yanbian, Yanyuan and its north along the west bank of the Yalong River, and built a defense. And in Shuiren, Yuanmou counties, the right bank of the Jinsha River to build blockades, to prevent the southwest of the bandits; The left wing cut contact with Liu Wenhui's department.
When Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng came to the gate of the column headquarters, they were stopped by the guards just now, both of them were nervous, and the guards asked in a low voice, "How is Chief of Staff Qiao now?" ”
Lin Junxiong lowered his head and responded: "I have already drunk the sobering soup and slept, we should also go back." ”
Another guard said fiercely, "Don't tell anyone else about this when you go back, otherwise you will look good." ”
Lin Junxiong hurriedly nodded with Dusk Sheng and said, "Don't dare, we definitely don't dare." ”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they walked out of the distance, and Dusk Sheng said excitedly: "Big brother, it's been a long time since I've been doing this thing with you. ”
"Second child, can you speak, this is called using extraordinary means to obtain valuable needs, and it will become a chicken and a dog in your mouth."
"Hehe, the meaning is pretty much the same, I'm just talking more plainly."
Lin Junxiong slapped Dusk Sheng on the back, said, "Go, go back" and said with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that you like to do this thing, I have decided, in the future, you will bring someone to do it." ”
The two pretended to be drunk and helped each other and stumbled back to the camp headquarters, and Li Mingli was already waiting anxiously at the door.
Back in the house, Lin Junxiong asked Li Mingli to bring a pen and paper, quickly wrote down the battle plan for the Dadu River, and arranged for Li Mingli to set off immediately to send the information to the party organization as soon as possible and transfer it to the Central Military Commission, so that the battle plan could be drawn up in time.
On the evening of May 29, 1935, when Xue Yue and others were busy deploying troops, the main force of the Central Red Army seized the Luding Bridge, and then turned south to seize the "Chuankang Road" on the east bank. On May 30, they seized Hualinping, and on May 31, they captured Feiyueling, controlled the dangerous pass of the "Chuankang Road", got rid of the danger of the Dadu River Gorge, and won a complete victory in the Battle of the Dadu River.
Immediately, the main force of the Central Red Army marched through Hualinping-Feiyueling-Hualinping-Shuizidi, and advanced in Tian, Lu, and Bao. The Red Ninth Army pursued the Li Regiment through the Ma'anshan Trail, advanced to Zishi Pass, and cooperated with the main force to occupy Tianquan. After partially destroying the Luding Bridge, the last bridge guard unit of the Central Red Army rushed to Tianquan to join the main force through the Erlang Mountain Trail.
After listening to Li Mingli's later report from the party organization about the battle to capture the Luding Bridge, Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng could not help but deeply admire the heroism of the Red Army.
In May 1935, the Red Army marched north to the dangerous Dadu River. The Dadu River is turbulent, with high mountains on both sides, and only a chain bridge can pass through it. This chain bridge is the Luding Bridge that the Red Army must seize when it goes north. The Kuomintang reactionaries sent two regiments to defend the Luding Bridge and prevent the Red Army from moving north; Later, two more brigades were transferred to rush to reinforcements, in a vain attempt to wipe out our Red Army on the bridge. On the morning of the 28th, the Red Fourth Regiment received an order from its superiors: "Seize the Luding Bridge on the morning of the 29th!" "There are only 29 hours left, and the Red Fourth Regiment is still 240 miles away from Luding Bridge. The enemy's two brigade reinforcements were marching on the opposite bank towards the Luding Bridge, and preempting the enemy's ahead of the enemy was the key to the Red Army's victory over the enemy.
The Red Fourth Regiment crossed the mountains and mountains, and routed several blocking enemies along the way, and by 7 o'clock in the evening, it was still 110 miles away from the Luding Bridge. The fighters didn't bother to eat all day. And it rained again, and it drenched them all. The determination to defeat the enemy made them forget about hunger and fatigue. In the dark of night, they braved the rain and stepped on muddy water to move on.
The Red Army soldiers suddenly saw countless torches appear on the opposite bank, like a fire dragon rushing in the direction of Luding Bridge, which was clearly the enemy of the enemy's reinforcements. The soldiers of the Red Fourth Regiment simply lit torches and lit the road to race against the enemy on the other side. The enemy saw the torches on this side and shouted at the top of their voices: "Which part are you from?" The Red Army soldier replied in a loud voice: "It was the Red Army that withdrew." "The enemy on the other side is not suspicious. The two armies were like two fiery dragons, walking twenty or thirty miles across the Dadu River. The rain became more and more intense, pouring like a scoop, and extinguished the torches on both sides. The enemy on the other side could no longer go and had to stop and camp. The Red Fourth Regiment continued to advance in the dark and rain, and finally arrived at Luding Bridge in the early morning of the 29th, leaving the two reinforced brigades of the enemy behind.
Luding Bridge is several zhang high from the water surface and is composed of 13 iron chains: there are two on each side, which is considered a bridge railing; There are 9 sticks side by side at the bottom, and the wooden planks are paved to make the bridge deck. People walk on the bridge and sway, like swinging. But now, even the planks have been removed by the enemy, and only the iron chains remain. Looking under the bridge, it is really terrifying, the reddish-brown river water is like a waterfall, pouring down in the river valley dozens of zhang deep, rushing to the rocks, splashing more than a zhang high waves, the sound of the water is deafening. The Luding City on the other side of the bridge is backed by a mountain, and the west gate is facing the bridge. The enemy of the two regiments defending the city had already built fortifications on the walls and the slopes of the hills, and by the danger of the weather, they frantically shouted to the Red Army: "Come, watch you fly over!" ”
The Red Fourth Regiment immediately launched a general attack. The regimental commander and commissar personally stood on the bridgehead and commanded the battle. The trumpeters blew their trumpets, and all their weapons opened fire in unison, and the sound of guns and shouts of killing shook the valley in an instant. The second company served as a commando, and 22 heroes with short guns, sabers on their backs, and grenades rushed to the opposite bank in the face of the enemy's dense bullets. They were followed by three companies, and the fighters, each with a plank in addition to their weapons, paved the bridge as they went.
As soon as the assault team rushed to the opposite bank, the enemy set fire, and the bridgehead was immediately surrounded by fire. At this critical moment, the shouts of the regiment commander and political commissar were heard: "Comrades! For the cause of the party, for the final victory, rush! When the heroes heard the call of the Party, they rushed into the city like arrows through the raging fire, and fought fiercely with the enemies in the city. After two hours of fierce fighting, most of the enemy defending the city was wiped out, and the rest fled in disarray.
The Red Fourth Regiment heroically captured the Luding Bridge and won another decisive victory in the Long March. The main force of the Red Army crossed the dangerous Dadu River, broke through the Kuomintang plan for the battle of the Dadu River, and advanced to Sichuan.
