Xiao Yazhi's car came to the pontoon bridge, and when she saw that a dozen or so people were busy preparing to blow up the bridge, she stopped the car. A person from the Secret Bureau, seeing that the stationmaster came to check in person, ran over to report: "Report to the stationmaster! We're planting explosives, please advise! Xiao Yazhi nodded and said, "Hmm! Well done! Hurry up, you know? Xiao Yazhi wanted to say, "Hurry up, hurry up!" The communist army is coming, and if it is not soon, it will be too late! However, she didn't dare to say this, for fear of shaking the morale of the army.

"Yes! Stationmaster! The man saluted.

"That's it! Keep up the good work, let's go ahead and see. Xiao Yazhi waved her hand, and the car began to cross the river.

"Stationmaster, go slowly!"

Xiao Yazhi's convoy, after crossing the river, galloped all the way south. As for where Xiao Yazhi went, for a while, no one could say. Some said they had run south, and some said they had become bandits in the mountains. It wasn't until soon after the liberation that someone saw her appear in the area of Damiao Mountain, which is a later story.

The vanguard regiment of the 115th Division of the 39th Army of Siye marched to the outskirts north of Longcheng in the early morning and annihilated the defenders of Magongling. and captured Ma Yun, the head of the enemy's special intelligence group. The head of the regiment, Hong Youdao, immediately interrogated Ma Yun in person. In the face of a powerful ideological offensive and pressure, Ma Yun had to tell everything he knew. Hong Youdao learned from Ma Yun's mouth. The enemy is carrying out a criminal plan of destruction. According to the original plan of Siye, the vanguard regiment, as the vanguard force, was behind the remnants of the enemy in the suburbs. It is necessary to wait for the arrival of the main force of the four fields before carrying out a full-scale siege. However, time waits for no one, as long as it is delayed for one minute, the safety of the lives and property of the people of Longcheng will suffer a single loss, what should I do? It is to wait for the arrival of the main forces. Seeing that the people of Longcheng had suffered losses, they ignored it, or relied on the strength of a mere regiment. Will it work to storm Longcheng, the largest industrial and commercial city in Guangxi? The head of the regiment, Hong Liang, was in a dilemma.

"Report!" The commander of the reconnaissance company, who was responsible for the reconnaissance mission at the forefront of the troops, brought in a person, "Regiment commander! This is Comrade Magnolia of the Dragon City Underground Party. ”

"Hello Chief!" Magnolia is dressed up. He wears a red armband on his left arm. The right hand gave a military salute in a fair and just manner.

"Hello Comrade Magnolia! I was so happy to see the comrades of the underground party! After Hong Liang returned the salute, he held Yulan's hand and greeted warmly.

"We are even happier to see our relatives in the People's Liberation Army!" Magnolia was smiling.

"Comrade Magnolia, hello!" An officer on the side stepped forward to salute and greet him.

"Hello! Hello! Magnolia returned the favor.

"Let me introduce you, this is Comrade Zhang Xin, the deputy head of the regiment."

The two shook hands.

"Comrade Magnolia. Sit sit, sit, sit! The three of them sat down at a simple square table," Comrade Magnolia. Looking at your salute posture, doesn't it look like a simple underground party? Hong Liang looked at Magnolia with questioning eyes.

"Really? I feel honored to be recognized by the chief! I used to fight guerrilla warfare in the Tanliang guerrilla brigade. ”

"No wonder! Look, he's still a guerrilla! Hong Liang pointed at Magnolia and said to Zhang Xin with a smile. Magnolia was a little embarrassed. "That's right! Comrade Magnolia, tell us about the situation in the city. Hong Liang hurriedly took the map of Dragon City and spread it on the table.

"Yes! Our underground party organization was very anxious and sent me to get in touch with the PLA to see if the PLA could enter the city as soon as possible, otherwise some important facilities would be very dangerous. If you enter the city late, the people will suffer great losses! Magnolia said anxiously. After speaking, he took out a map from his body and continued: "This is the map of the destruction of the enemy's key facilities obtained by the underground party, which clearly marks the parts of the enemy to be bombed, you can see ......" Yulan held the destruction map in one hand and pointed to the map on the table with the other, pointing it to Hong Liang and Zhang Xin, "This is the North Railway Station, here is the pontoon bridge, here is the power plant, here is the railway station...... Hong Liang and Zhang Xin looked at it seriously and nodded.

"With the strength of one of our regiments, we want to take such a big city, okay?" Zhang Xin was a little worried.

"I came all the way and saw that the Kuomintang garrison had become frightened. The officials and their relatives moved, and those who fled escaped, leaving the streets full of garbage, waste paper, and documents. It seems that the enemy has no intention of fighting and just wants to escape. Our underground party has made all kinds of preparations, and the guides have been dispatched, just waiting for the army to enter the city. Magnolia said.

"Good! Thanks to the underground party for providing us with such good offensive conditions! The situation is in front of us, we can't wait any longer, combined with this destruction map, don't worry about the rest, let's occupy the important facilities in the city first. Immediately telegraphed the situation and our opinion to the superiors. The staff officers prepared the telegram, and after Hong Liang signed it, he took it and sent it. Hong Liang shouted to the staff officers: "Quickly call the three battalion commanders." ”

When the commander of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions heard that there was a mission, they were very excited and quickly rushed to the regimental headquarters.

"Come, come, come! Everybody gathered here! Now I'll assign the task: a battalion! ”

"Here!"

"Your battalion is led by me personally, through the north of the city to the east gate, straight into the pontoon bridge. First take control of the pontoons, then seize the city hospital and police station. Over here...... Over here...... Do you understand? Hong Liang pointed to the map.

"Understood!"

"Second Battalion!"

"Here!"

"Your second battalion, led by deputy regiment commander Zhang Xin, will occupy the north railway station from the north of the city and cut off the enemy's northern escape route, and then, cross the river from the pontoon bridge, capture the south railway station, cut off the enemy's southern escape route, and then capture the city government building."

"Yes!"

"Three battalions! Responsible for clearing the city of remnants of enemies. ”

"Yes!"

"The battalions went to Comrade Magnolia, assigned guides, and marched immediately. Comrade Magnolia, do you have anything to explain? ”

"Time is pressing, I won't say much else, you see people wearing red strips on their arms, they are their own people, and when they need help, they can help. I'm done. ”

"Good! Troops move now! After Hong Liang finished speaking, he picked up the belt with a gun from the table, tied it around his waist, put on his hat, and went out first. Hong Liang couldn't care so much, he could only act while waiting for the reply from his superiors.

Lao Liu, the person in charge of Chengbei District, and two party members, Shen Ping and Zeng Ming, were at the intersection, waiting for Magnolia. Seeing that Magnolia was coming with the People's Liberation Army, the three of them were very happy, and Lao Liu immediately said to Shen Ping and Zeng Ming: "Act now!" The two happily replied, "Good! The two of them stepped on the bicycles that had been prepared for a long time and ran all the way to the Wanghuo Tower.

The Lookout Tower is the tallest building in Dragon City. The houses in Longcheng are generally two or three stories high, but this Wanghuo Tower is as high as six floors, standing on the top of the building, the shape is boxy, like a turret, and it is used by the whole city to observe the fire. From here, you can see all the districts at a glance. And from all directions, you can see the tall figure of the firetower. This is a veritable commanding height in Dragon City.

As soon as Shen Ping and Zeng Ming arrived at Wanghuo Tower, they hurriedly threw their bicycles on the ground, rushed to Wanghuo Tower, and climbed to the top of the building in one go. Shen Ping took out the five-star red flag that was warmed by body temperature from his chest, and the two of them grabbed one side and raised it above their heads, with a solemn expression, and stood solemnly for a while, showing the red flag to the outside and announcing the liberation of Dragon City. They found a bamboo pole, threaded the red flag, fixed it on the iron rod of the high lightning rod, and then held the corner of the red flag and showed it in the wind...... Suddenly, the bright five-star red flag fluttered high in the sky of Dragon City with the wind from the north, hunting and flying, which was particularly eye-catching and moving!

People were shocked by this never-before-seen sight! For the people, it was a great encouragement, stirring up the fighting spirit, anticipation and joy in their hearts, and finally waiting for the dawn! And for the enemy, it is like seeing defeat and destruction. As a result, it destroyed their fighting spirit, undermined their morale, and made them break down and want to flee.

This is the charm of the red flag, this is the strength of the red flag, and it indicates the arrival of the people's liberation.

By the pontoon bridge, more than a dozen Kuomintang soldiers were preventing people from crossing the river.

"Why don't you let it go?" A citizen asked.

"I'm going to blow up the bridge!"

"Why do you want to blow up the bridge?"

"The communist army is entering the city!"

"This bridge belongs to our people, and it is not allowed to be blown up!" A few people came out of the crowd and stopped them.

"That's right! If the bridge is blown up, what will we do in the future? Can't be fried! "The crowd of onlookers is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, the sound of gunfire continued to come from the north. People began to panic and crossed the river one after another, and more and more people stepped on the bridge to the level of the water. More than a dozen nationally named party soldiers also panicked, so many people, to bomb or not to bomb? The men persuaded: "Brothers! If there are your parents, brothers and sisters among these people, will you blow it up or not? The People's Liberation Army will arrive soon, and if you blow up the bridge and hurt people, I'm afraid the People's Liberation Army will not let you go! Just now, those people in the car are your chiefs, right? The chief has run away, who are you little minions still working for? Run! Otherwise, your life will be gone! As he spoke, the gunshots got closer and closer.

"Brothers, run! Waiting to die? Someone in the Kuomintang soldiers shouted. Hearing this shout, as if they had blown up a pot, they threw down explosives, guns, and tools, ran across the pontoon bridge together, and fled for their lives. The men picked up their weapons, guarded the explosives, tied strips of red cloth around their arms, and began to secure the pontoon. (To be continued......)
