Chapter 65: Mixed Brigade (Have You Eaten Tangyuan)

Xiaoyingli, a village united by the People's Army, is also the closest to Yong'an County among the villages united by the People's Army.

In the past few months, Xiaoyingli has formed a KPA cold weapons unit with two platoons and one squad.

Today is the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, and according to the people's army's action plan, the people's army in Yong'an County will rush to Yuanheli to assemble before the tenth day of the new month, and the county seat of Yong'an must be taken down on the same day, and the next day it will begin to raid the large landlords in Yong'an County.

However, there are several other KPA soldiers in Xiaoyingli who have other important tasks and do not need to gather in Yuanheli.

In fact, there are two important tasks, the first is to send a squad of elite soldiers into Yong'an County, and when the People's Army attacks Yong'an County, the People's Army soldiers in the city and the People's Army soldiers outside the city should cooperate with the outside to control the city gate, and then most of the People's Army will enter the city and control the entire Yong'an County.

Xiao Yingli will send a squad, and other villages will also send a squad to infiltrate Yong'an County, and the People's Army soldiers who will be mixed into Yong'an County will be more than 100 people, while the defenders of Yong'an County will only be a few hundred.

The method of a squad in Xiaoyingli to infiltrate Yong'an County is very simple, that is, to pretend to be ordinary farmers, transport a batch of grain to Yong'an County for sale, the selling price is slightly higher, no one buys it, and stays until the tenth day of September.

In addition to sending people to infiltrate Yong'an County, the People's Army soldiers in Xiaoyingli also have a task, most of the People's Army will attack the city from the west side of Yong'an County, in order to prevent people in Yong'an County from escaping, it is necessary to arrange three teams of men to intercept on the eastern, southern, and north sides of Yong'an County.

When most of the People's Army rushed over, it was easy to be discovered by the people in Yongan County, and at this time, it may be too late to assign people to surround Yongan County, and some people would run away, so it was necessary to arrange for people to go to the other three sides of Yongan County in advance.

According to the previous calculations of the People's Army, the troops set out from Yuanheli in the early morning and arrived at Yong'an County at noon at a normal marching speed, and the People's Army soldiers who carried out the task of intercepting the three sides of Yong'an County could arrive before noon.

The People's Army did not plan to march at night, nor did it plan to directly capture the county town of Yong'an at night, in this era, it was not easy to march at night or fight at night, there was not enough lighting tools, night blindness, etc. were all problems.

It's not that the People's Army can't fight at night, it's easy to take Yong'an County with the People's Army's numerical advantage, but in the night battle, the People's Army may have more casualties, so Fang Nan arranged both the march and the siege during the day.

In addition, on the road to Yong'an County, the People's Army will pass through the manors of two large landlords, and the People's Army will allocate some men to directly take down the manors of these two large landlords, so as to prevent the spread of the People's Army's attack on Yong'an County.

A squad of soldiers selected by Xiaoyingli has set off, they are all wearing shabby clothes on weekdays, or carrying food, or pushing carts full of food, step by step towards Yong'an County, they are not carrying weapons, the People's Army has bought a few houses in Yong'an County in advance, and smuggled weapons into it through various methods.

When we arrived here, we could clearly see the huge difference between the People's Army and other peasant uprisings, the other peasant uprisings were undisciplined and unplanned, and they wanted to attack the county seat, but they did not make any arrangements at all, and everyone flocked to the county seat, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and once the gate of the county town was closed, they did not know how to rush into the city at all.

After a long period of preparations, the People's Army had already drawn up a meticulous and meticulous plan for attacking the county towns of Yong'an and Haifeng.

Yuanheli, a village near Dashan and a manor house with no landlords nearby, was chosen as the gathering place for the People's Army troops to attack the county seat of Yong'an.

Beginning on the morning of the ninth day of the ninth month of September, contingents of the People's Army gathered in Yuanheli, including KPA cold weapons units from other villages, as well as KPA firearms units, Xiandeng Battalions, and women's barracks that came out of the mountains.

Personnel from the Management Department and Research Department of the People's Army also arrived in Yuanheli on this day, and the Management Department was led by Zhou Lei.

There are three years of education graduates in the ranks, who are key members of the upcoming Yongan County People's Military Government; There are also non-three-year education graduates from Qingshanzhai, Hutouzhai, Wufangzhai, Xinghuazhai and other places, whose knowledge cannot be compared with that of three-year education graduates, but they can use common words and simple arithmetic, and can serve as small officials in the people's military government.

Hundreds, thousands, more and more people gathered in the small place of Yuanheli, but there was no confusion, no noise, in the farmland that had been harvested, the various units of the People's Army were stationed in the divided area in an orderly manner.

When two soldiers of the People's Army who do not know each other meet, they will laugh and shout "comrade", comrade, like-minded, everyone's goal is to bring down the landlord Lao Cai and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, from the day they become a member of the People's Army, whether they know each other or not, they are all comrades.

In the village of Yuanheli, the main members of the People's Army who attacked Yong'an County gathered together, including Wang Shengrong, commander of the first battalion of the main combat regiment of the People's Army's firearms unit, Gao Wei, instructor, Xiong Jian, deputy battalion commander, Zhao Dayou, commander of the first regiment of the cold weapons unit, and Han Lin, commander of the second regiment.

One is the battalion commander and the other is the regiment commander, but the regiment commander must obey the battalion commander's orders, and the military rank system has not yet been implemented in the KPA, but all KPA soldiers know that the firearms unit has the highest status, and the combat is dominated by the firearms unit.

The reserve of one battalion and one company of the firearms unit, and the two regiments of the cold weapons unit plus one company of the Xiandeng battalion and one company of the women's battalion -- these are all the forces of the People's Army attacking Yong'an County, and most of them have been gathered in Yuanheli at present, one company has mixed into Yong'an County, and there are about three companies ready to ambush the other three sides of Yong'an County before the majority of the People's Army arrives tomorrow.

In fact, Wang Shengrong now has the title of brigade commander, the full name is the commander of the First Mixed Brigade of the People's Army, Gao Wei is the political commissar of the brigade, Xiong Jian is the deputy brigade commander, and there are also the second mixed brigade and the third mixed brigade, Fang Nan is the division commander, and Hu Zhuang is the deputy division commander.

Mixed brigades and even mixed regiments are only a temporary formation, and in the future, the KPA will mainly pursue complete firearms.

Before nightfall, the People's Army of Yuanheli held its last meeting, and the participants were headed by the military and political departments, and Zhou Lei still had the identity of the squad leader in front of Wang Shengrong, so the meeting was presided over by Zhou Lei, but there is one thing to note that Zhou Lei is not allowed to meddle in military arrangements.

"Tomorrow will attack Yong'an County, and now the ministries still have problems, please speak up." Zhou Lei said.

"No" *n

"Well, everything goes according to plan, rest early tonight, and the battle will be forever safe!"

"A battle will be forever safe!" Everyone said in unison.
