Just as one shell after another was fired, Guo Zhuocheng had already personally rushed down Matouling with more than 100 soldiers who had just been reorganized, and shot like arrows at the battlefield.

The more than 100 people he led were mainly based on the troops he had reorganized before. The Gui army captives captured here in Matouling did not mix in much. Because the artillery here was regarded as a treasure in Guo Shucheng's hands, he was ready to use these prisoners as the basis to form his own artillery.

Cao Xinchun naturally understood what Guo Zhuocheng meant, and when he was reorganized, he did not disrupt the original establishment too much, but only inserted a few Red Army soldiers into it to play the role of supervision and leadership.

Guo Zhuocheng's army was still on the way, but the Gui army attacking Gulingtou suffered a catastrophe, and the shells fired by sixteen artillery pieces and ten mortars all fell on their heads as they prepared to attack again.

When the death squad heard the sound of the cannonballs, they also showed a happy face, and they all looked on the mountain, wanting to see how spectacular the fireworks on the head of the ancient ridge were.

The soldiers of the Red Eighteenth Regiment who held on to Gulingtou also scolded, and they were ready to fight for shells. However, when the whistling of the shells was not so screeching, they seemed to notice that something was abnormal, and they all involuntarily looked up at the bottom of the mountain, and doubts rose in their hearts.

The Gui army under the mountain also discovered that the situation was wrong at this time, and the cannonballs were smashed at them.

Before they could make any dodge moves, the shell fell in the middle of them and exploded: "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

These poor Gui soldiers suffered the most, because they were the attacking side, and they did not dig bunkers at all, and because for the convenience and speed of the charge, they all stood on flat ground or where there were no obstacles, and when the shells fell, the sluggish ones stood and were torn apart by shrapnel or lifted by the air waves, and the fastest ones were just lying on the ground, and they would also accept the baptism of shrapnel, but they would suffer less shrapnel than those standing.

The enemy regimental commander turned pale before being blown to pieces, and he seemed to understand something in his heart and couldn't help but regret it. He knew that the reason why he had hit the shell accurately was because of his curse call, which had inadvertently reported his location. If he hadn't taken the initiative to tell his location, the other party would not have known that he had left the regimental command post, and it would have been impossible to bomb so accurately.

Seeing that the Gui army at the foot of the mountain was blown up, and the wolves fled, the soldiers of the Red Eighteenth Regiment on the mountain understood what was happening, and they looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know what to do for a while: "Do you rush down and fight with the enemy, and then join up with the friendly forces that operate the artillery, or take this opportunity to retreat to the Xiangjiang River crossing and catch up with the main Red Army?" ”

At this moment, the sound of the charge suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain.

This is the unique trumpet sound of the Red Army.

This sound was like fairy music, which brought tears to the eyes of the red army on the mountain, just like a lost child seeing his father and mother. The sound was like a war drum, which aroused the infinite fighting spirit of the Red Army, and they did not need to command, they picked up what they had at hand and rushed down regardless of it, shouting in the loudest voice in their mouths: "Kill-"

With this burst of killing shouts, more than twenty machine guns opened fire almost simultaneously, sweeping from behind the Gui army, and bullets rained down on the leaderless attackers.

At this time, there is actually no skill to speak of, because both sides are troops who have been baptized in battle for a long time, and there are no tricks to play when they face each other, relying on morale and firepower.

As long as the morale of the side is high and the firepower of the side is strong, which side will have the upper hand.

Now the Gui army is in a panic, there is no effective command, and wherever their troops gather, shells will fall, and they cannot organize a strong defense, let alone counterattack. More than 20 machine guns far exceeded the firepower of a standard company, much more fierce than the firepower of a battalion of the Gui army, and no one could stop this sudden and fierce blow, and the Gui army collapsed at the speed that Guo Zhuocheng expected.

This time, in order to strike at the Gui army faster and more reliably, Guo Zhuocheng also brought a captured artillery observer, and while following Guo Zhuocheng, he kept using a walkie-talkie to report the coordinates of the Gui army to the artillery position. Sometimes the speed of the artillery observer's calculation of coordinates is slow, and Guo Zhuocheng can help the other party report it in one breath, which makes the observer both respectful and afraid.

……

Under the front and rear attacks of the Red Eighteenth Regiment and the troops led by Guo Zhuocheng, the Gui army, which had already been blown up by the shells, was suddenly crushed and began to flee in all directions, while more people raised their hands and surrendered.

Less than six minutes after the soldiers of the Red Eighteenth Regiment rushed down the mountain, one regiment of Gui troops was annihilated.

Except for a few who fled, most of the Gui troops were either killed or surrendered.

After the convergence, the two troops were ecstatic, especially the officers and men of the 18th Red Regiment were even more elated, holding each other and laughing and jumping, regardless of whether the other side reported the number of the 263rd Battalion of the 263rd Battalion of the 14th Red Regiment or not, and whether the people who were holding were embarrassed.

You must know that many of the soldiers they hugged and celebrated were prisoners who were fooled and even coerced by Guo Zhuocheng, and many of them have not yet fully integrated into the identity of the Red Army, and there is still a very awkward feeling in their hearts.

It is no wonder that the officers and men of the Red Eighteenth Regiment are so excited, they are completely the rest of their lives, and even they themselves think that they will definitely die. Under siege by many enemy troops, how can there be hope for life?

In the original history, they were annihilated by the Gui army at about 1 p.m. and the whole army was annihilated, and now there are less than two hours before 1 p.m., which means that even the longest life expectancy among them will not live for more than two hours.

It wasn't until Guo Zhuocheng shouted that the battlefield should be cleaned up immediately and the prisoners should be collected immediately, that everyone quieted down and quickly picked up weapons, ammunition, and supplies to treat the wounded......

When they returned to Matouling with the captured weapons and the prisoners, Luo Xi, Liu Xiangyang, and the artillerymen had not yet had enough fun, and the skinny soldier - Zhao Xiaotian - asked why the Gui army was so unbeaten, why was it so vicious before?

This battle can be said to have achieved great gains, not only annihilating a regiment of Gui troops, but also mainly rescuing the remaining more than 300 exhausted soldiers of the Red Eighteenth Regiment.

What made Guo Zhuocheng particularly happy was that among these soldiers were more than 20 grassroots commanders, and the highest official rank was Zhuang Zongzheng, deputy commander of the 18th Red Regiment, as well as a deputy chief of staff, two deputy battalion commanders, and more than 10 company-level cadres. These are all backbones who are not afraid of death and have combat experience, and Guo Zhuocheng is fully able to build a main force regiment with them.

Guo Zhuocheng was greeted not only by this victory, but also by the telegram from General Peng forwarded by the Red Sixth Division.

Seeing Mr. Peng's telegram, Guo Zhuocheng was overjoyed, and he not only registered the number with Mr. Peng, but also obtained the right to form his own troops. You must know that this so-called special task force is a big basket, and anything can be loaded into it, a platoon can be called a special task force, a company can also be called a special task force, a battalion or a regiment can also be called a special task force, and it can even be expanded into a division, which can also be called a special operations team. This number that is not a number solves the organizational problem of Guo Zhuocheng's troops, and it can completely allow him to let go and do a great job.

According to the meaning of this telegram, Guo Zhuocheng has absolute military command of this unit, and even if a regimental commander, division commander, or even a higher Red Army commander joins in the future, Guo Zhuocheng will still be their leader, and those people can only obey his command or assist him in his work, but cannot dictate to him.

This is what Guo Zhuocheng hopes for the most.

He also knew that the reason why Mr. Peng delegated power so much must be because he didn't know the situation of Guo Zhuocheng's troops, and he didn't know the scale of Guo Zhuocheng's troops, thinking that Guo Zhuocheng was wandering around the enemy's house, and he could pull up a team of more than 100 people to break through the sky, whether he could break through the encirclement, how many captured Red Army soldiers he could rescue, how many besieged troops he could relieve, and how many lost soldiers he could contain.

The only thing he hoped or hoped for was that Guo Zhuocheng could lead his team to rescue some of the soldiers of the Red Eighteenth Regiment and leave a little seed for his Red Eighteenth Regiment. Blocking the attack of the seven regiments of the Gui Army with the strength of one regiment was a task that had wronged the Red Eighteenth Regiment, and now that the main forces of the Red Army were gone, it was really a bit of a pity to leave them behind. If their Red Eighteenth Regiment canceled its number because of the annihilation of the entire army, it would not be fair to those dead soldiers.

If Guo Zhuocheng can rescue some of the soldiers, even a few people, this will make Mr. Peng feel better, and he can rebuild it in the future, which can give the sacrificed soldiers a little comfort.

It is precisely because of this psychology that Mr. Peng did not care about Guo Shucheng's struggle for power, and did not care about his competition for office.

Because of the addition of commanders such as Zhuang Zongquan and Cao Xinchun, Guo Zhuocheng became the boss of the hands-off and let them reorganize the troops. Zhuang Zongquan, Cao Xinchun and other commanders read Mr. Peng's telegram, and they all expressed their obedience to Guo Zhuocheng's leadership.

In particular, Cao Xinchun also made a review to Guo Zhuocheng, saying that he was a little selfish at that time, and did not immediately approve of Guo Zhuocheng's proposal. Now the deputy regiment commanders who have left the hall are willing to obey Guo Shucheng's command, but it's really wrong that he, the battalion commander who was once captured, felt aggrieved and embarrassed at that time.

Guo Zhuocheng admired the selflessness of these revolutionaries in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Battalion Commander Cao, I can't blame you for this, your mood is understandable, you will have to think about everyone you meet, human nature." I also made this request because I wanted to ensure the continuity of the organization. ”

After Zhuang Zongquan, Cao Xinchun and others went to reorganize the troops and register and clean up the seized materials, Guo Shucheng asked Sheng Guozhen to send a telegram to the Red Sixth Division:

"The leader of the Red Sixth Division and the head of the Red Third Army Corps: Our special task force used the captured artillery and captured Gui artillery to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment of the enemy besieging Gulingtou, killing the enemy commander including the enemy regiment commander on the spot, and disrupting the enemy's offensive formation. After that, Guo Zhuocheng personally led a company of troops carrying more than 20 machine guns to launch a surprise attack from behind the enemy, and the guns and bullets rained down, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties. ......"
