Chapter 39: A Rich Harvest

When Chen Cheng received a telegram from Lin Qingyun, commander of the 42nd Division, asking for help, the army was still more than 30 miles away from Guangchang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the guerrillas in various places caused great trouble to the march of Chen Cheng's army, after all, the Kuomintang had deep war resources, and after collecting 1,000 war horses from all over the country, the mobile strength of Chen Cheng's army was greatly enhanced, and the guerrillas' small fights could no longer interfere with them.

Li Yunqiang, the commander of the reconnaissance company responsible for organizing the raid and disturbance war, received a telegram from the division headquarters and learned that the Young Communist Division had completed the task of annihilating Jiang Dingwen's troops, and in order to reduce the combat losses of the guerrillas, Li Yunqiang also put forward a proposal to stop the raid and disturbance war in due course.

At noon on 5 October, Chen Cheng, who had successfully stationed in Guangchang, soon received the bad news that was almost a bolt from the blue: the Red Army's International Division of the Young Communist Party had ambushed the 9th, 38th, and 42nd Divisions in Dayou Township, Shicheng County, the day before yesterday, and captured Kuomintang General Jiang Dingwen.

The moment he learned the news, Chen Cheng's brain almost exploded with a "boom", and his body almost fell off the seat.

Chen Cheng was stunned, and he didn't slow down for a long time, and finally sighed: "No wonder, I said why did the red bandits suddenly appear so many guerrillas, it turned out that this was all for the boy scout of the Young Communist International Division (the Young Communist International Division defeated the Central Army of the Kuomintang Party one after another, which led to its fame within the Kuomintang Party, because the average age of the International Division of the Young Communist Party was less than eighteen years old, so the Kuomintang named them the Boy Scouts, which even Zhang Cheng did not expect. Fight for time to annihilate Jiang Dingwen, alas! The old man did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count that the newborn calves of the Boy Scouts were not afraid of tigers, and none of the Red Bandits dared to launch a counterattack against our Central Army, but the Boy Scouts dared to touch the tiger's buttocks and directly hit the main force of our powerful Central Army! ”

The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the proud soldiers will definitely be defeated, and the smooth sailing of the past year has made everyone lose their vigilance. Including the old man, the senior staff of the Central Army, and himself, I only saw that after the encirclement and suppression and the Guangchang Campaign, the main force of the red bandits suffered heavy losses, and most of the base areas shrank, but I didn't expect the dog to jump off the wall when he was in a hurry!

It's careless, it's absolutely careless, even if I only think about how to go straight to Guangchang, seize Jiang Dingwen's power, capture Shicheng with an army of 80,000, sweep the red capital Ruijin, and capture the leader of the red bandits, why didn't I think that the Red Army would bite hard when it was dying? This bite is too hard, those are the three main divisions of the Central Army, alas! It's too late to say anything now, the troops of the three divisions have been wiped out, how can this be explained to the old man? Headache!

Stone City, the division compound. When he woke up, Zhang Cheng found himself awakened from hunger because of the protest of his stomach.

"Xiao Li! Xiao Li! Is there anything to eat? Get me something to eat, I'm dying of hunger. Zhang Cheng saw that it was already late, and he was afraid that it was already past the meal, so he hurriedly shouted.

"Commander, I just warmed up the meal for you, and I was about to call you up to eat." Xiao Li said with a smile.

"Very good, Xiao Li, what time is it, how do I feel like I've slept for a long time."

"Division commander, it's half past seven in the evening, you've slept for a day and a night, I wanted to wake you up this morning, but the political commissar didn't let you, saying that you should have a good rest."

"It turns out that I slept for so long, no wonder, I always felt a sore back when I woke up. Xiao Li, when you bring the food, immediately notify the commanders in charge of all units to come to the division headquarters for a meeting, and we have to sum up this battle well. ”

"Okay, teacher, I'll be here soon." Xiao Li said happily.

After dinner, Zhang Cheng came to the conference room, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the commanders of all the troops were all smiling.

"Lao Li, tell me how you caught Jiang Dingwen's big fish?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously.

"Hahaha, division commander, do you remember Wang Erdonkey, who made special merits in our brigade?" Li Yunlong laughed.

"Damn, no! Could it be that Jiang Dingwen was caught by this kid again!! Zhang Cheng couldn't believe it.

"Hey! It was this kid who caught it. It turned out that Jiang Dingwen's guy fled in a hurry with a few soldiers, but he fled to the point where he was hungry halfway, so he stole the sweet potatoes of the villagers to eat, Jiang Dingwen's old boy estimated that he had been pampered in recent years, and he had a bad stomach, and as a result, he had diarrhea after eating sweet potatoes, because of frequent diarrhea was discovered by the villagers, and the villagers just happened to meet Wang Erdonkey, who was leading the troops on patrol, so he reported the situation, and Wang Erdonkey immediately took action to capture Jiang Dingwen, who was pulling thin and didn't even have time to mention his pants, hahaha! Li Yunlong couldn't help it anymore and laughed.

"Hahahaha......" Everyone also felt very coke after listening to it, no one expected that Jiang Dingwen, such a big official, would actually be planted on a small sweet potato.

"It seems that Wang Erdonkey is a lucky general, Lao Li, he is there for you, you have to focus on cultivating him. Okay, let's get down to business, Chief of Staff, let's talk about the dynamics of both sides of the enemy! Zhang Cheng's face was straight.

"Yes, division commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance battalion, the Chen Cheng Division of the Kuomintang entered Guangchang at noon today, and has not been dispatched since then, but several reconnaissance planes have been sent to Dayou Township to reconnoitre, probably to confirm whether Jiang Dingwen was eliminated by our division. As for our army, the Central Red Army has begun to leave the red capital of Ruijin this morning, and since the Kuomintang army is still deploying troops to deploy the blockade line, there has been no fighting between the two sides for the time being. ”

"Well, it seems that Chang Kaishen is contacting powerful factions in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places to instigate them to blockade the main force of our Red Army. Okay, we can't help with the overall situation of the central government for the time being, hehe, Director Feng Shaojie, let's talk about the harvest of your logistics department! ”

"Yes, division commander, our results this time can be said to be an unprecedented brilliant victory! First of all, in terms of destroying the enemy, the 42nd Division of the enemy was completely annihilated, the 9th Division and the 38th Division were defeated, of which more than 6,700 people were killed, more than 2,000 were seriously wounded, and more than 14,000 prisoners and lightly wounded were captured, and the Kuomintang General Jiang Dingwen and the commander of the 42nd Division Lin Qingyun were captured alive.

As for the seizures, they were also unprecedentedly large, and we captured a total of eight enemy heavy artillery pieces, 24 mountain artillery pieces, 86 mortars, and artillery shells, even more innumerable, at least tens of thousands of shells, and we will not have to worry about running out of shells for a long time to come. There were also a lot of guns captured, 45 heavy machine guns, more than 430 light machine guns, more than 20,000 rifles, submachine guns, and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition. ”

After listening to the report of Feng Shaojie, the director of the logistics department, everyone was dumbfounded, so many weapons and ammunition are enough to arm a main army.
