"Company commander, how far is it from the Baimang Mountain guerrillas, this mountain road is really difficult to walk. Wang Xiaofang, a young soldier of the reconnaissance company, complained in a low voice that since the second company was connected to the task of contacting the guerrillas, the second company had been immersed in the endless mountains and forests and walked on the rugged mountain roads.www.biquge.info

"Xiao Fang, hold on, it's coming soon." Li Yunqiang, commander of the second reconnaissance company, said energetically, he is Li Yunlong's younger brother, his kung fu is stronger than Li Yunlong, and he is also the township party that Zhang Cheng brought to the Red Army troops from his hometown.

"Company Commander Li, look, the comrades of the guerrillas have come to meet us." Wang Xiaofang cheered.

It turned out that after Zhangcheng arranged for the reconnaissance company to contact the guerrillas, Xiao Hua had already ordered the underground organization to send people to get in touch with the comrades of the guerrillas in various localities in advance, so the guerrillas sent people to the intersection early to pick up the reconnaissance company of the Young Communist Division.

Seeing that it was a regular unit leading the team, Lin Yongsheng, the guerrilla leader who came to meet him, hurriedly reported: "Report to the chief, I am Lin Yongsheng, the leader of the Baimangshan guerrillas. ”

"Captain Lin, hello, but don't call me chief, I'm Li Yunqiang, the company commander of the Second Reconnaissance Company of the Young Communist Division, just call me Company Commander Li." Li Yunqiang held Captain Lin Yongsheng's hand and said enthusiastically.

"Company Commander Li, welcome the main force back, after you were repelled by the Kuomintang army, our words are too difficult." Lin Yongsheng said with emotion.

"Alas, the local comrades have worked hard. Dare to ask Captain Lin, how many comrades does the Baimang guerrillas have now, and what is the equipment? ”

"Report to Company Commander Li, there are more than 800 members of the Baimangshan guerrillas, of which about 300 are wounded who were left behind by the regular Red Army and have no time to retreat, and now they have generally recovered their health, and their combat effectiveness is very good, but our weapons are only more than 100 rifles, and the others are all broadswords and red cherry guns." When it came to weapons and equipment, Captain Lin couldn't help but sigh, the guerrillas were all good, and they could take one as five against the white dogs, but unfortunately there were no guns and ammunition, which led to the guerrillas' combat effectiveness never going up.

"Captain Wang, there is no need to sigh, my reconnaissance company was specially ordered to deliver some of the weapons of the Young Communist Division to the comrades of the local guerrillas." Li Yunqiang said seriously.

Listening to Li Yunqiang's words, Lin Yongsheng was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Really? Where's the weapon? Where is it? ”

Li Yunqiang led Lin Yongsheng to the mule cart, lifted the canvas inside, revealing hundreds of rifles and dozens of machine guns, and said cautiously: "Captain Lin, this time we have handed over to the guerrillas 800 rifles, each with 100 rounds of ammunition, and 930 light machine guns, each with 800 rounds of ammunition, please accept them." ”

"My God, there are so many, even a main battalion of the regular army does not have such sophisticated equipment, and there is still so much ammunition, our Baimang guerrillas are developed, and there is no need to hide in Tibet when they encounter those white dogs in the future." Captain Lin was so excited that his tongue trembled.

Li Yunqiang instructed: "Captain Lin, our Young Communist Division is going to launch a battle to destroy Jiang Dingwen's troops, and I hope that the comrades of the guerrillas will harass Chen Cheng's army on the road from Lichuan to Guangchang, delay the enemy army, and make it impossible to rescue Jiang Dingwen. Of course, we don't ask you how many enemy troops you can kill, we just need to make them unable to speed up the march, and if there is not enough ammunition, we can contact the division headquarters and give you more supplies. ”

"Enough, absolutely enough, since you young communist teachers are so righteous, our Baimang guerrillas are absolutely duty-bound. Besides, attacking the enemy's marching troops is also the basic task of our guerrillas, there is nothing to say. Captain Lin said humbly.

"Alright, Captain Lin, I will leave a platoon of soldiers to cooperate with you in the attack. Reconnoiter a platoon, a platoon commander Li Chuncheng, ordered your unit to assist the Baimang guerrillas in attacking Chen Cheng's army, understand? ”

"Understood, resolutely complete the task!" Li Chuncheng replied loudly.

Looking at the more than 30 soldiers with submachine guns on their shoulders in front of them, the guerrillas were stunned, is this still our Red Army unit with a shortage of guns and ammunition, when has our Red Army been so generous.

Before leaving, Li Yunqiang took Lin Yongsheng's hand and said: "Captain Lin, our division commander Zhangcheng asked me to bring you a message, and I want you to keep in mind the sixteen-character battle decision of guerrilla tactics summed up by Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." ”

Lin Yongsheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately replied: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”

The headquarters of the Shicheng Young Communist Division, the list of battle results that Li Yunlong just sent was on the table, Zhang Cheng looked at the list and smiled with satisfaction, this time the first brigade attacked Ningdu extremely smoothly, a total of more than 800 enemy troops were destroyed, more than 500 people were captured, and only a small number of more than 200 people escaped.

Li Yunlong was able to take charge of the first brigade and lead the troops to capture a county town, Zhang Cheng was very pleased with this, and the army he built with all his might did not disappoint him, and this army has now grown into an army with firm beliefs, high-level training, and extremely strong combat effectiveness, especially Zhang Cheng instilled a large number of modern military ideas in them, making their technical and tactical level far beyond this era, and they have become the prototype of a modern army.

Zhang Cheng looked at the list of battle results and quickly read down, he didn't care about how many weapons and ammunition the enemy could capture by the first brigade, he was concerned about whether he could capture enough grain and grass, the Long March was imminent, and sufficient grain and grass was the key.

Fortunately, the 1st Brigade did not disappoint Zhangcheng, and in order to encircle and suppress the central Soviet area, the enemy turned Ningdu, which was very close to Ruijin, into a logistics base, and as a result, after the 1st Brigade defeated Ningdu, nearly 100 tons of grain and grass that was enough to support the 30,000 army for half a year were captured by the 1st Brigade, as well as a large number of cloth and military uniforms, as well as the financial funds of the county government, totaling more than 1.3 million oceans.

Seeing the captured straw cloth and the ocean, Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, the problem of the shortage of logistics in the troops was finally solved, especially the food problem, which really solved the urgent need.

The Long March is imminent, and it is necessary to deal with the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops, and it is impossible to bring most of the Red Army soldiers to northern Shaanxi without abundant physical fitness, and the average age of the Young Communist Division is less than 18 years old, and the physical strength is much weaker than that of adults, and it is indeed difficult for a strong man to eat two meals a day and maintain a large amount of exercise in training and fighting.

"Report to the division commander, the second company of the reconnaissance battalion sent a telegram: Company commander Li Yunqiang led the soldiers of the second reconnaissance company to bypass the county town of Guangchang, and the local Baimang guerrillas have made contact with the local Baimang guerrillas, and handed over guns and ammunition to the guerrillas, and the guerrillas have been mobilized in large numbers, and they can immediately go to Lichuan to carry out attacks and harassment against Chen Cheng's troops."

The correspondent's report interrupted Zhang Cheng's musings, and at the same time brought good news to Zhang Cheng, who said happily: "Order Li Yunqiang to keep the original plan unchanged, but remind them to pay attention to their own safety when attacking and fighting, and not to get too close to the enemy, so as not to be bitten by the enemy and cause a large number of casualties." ”

"Yes, I'll send a report to Erlian right away." The correspondent was ordered to leave.

Ten minutes later, another correspondent brought a second piece of information, "Report to the division commander, the third company of the reconnaissance battalion sent a telegram, Jiang Dingwen has no sign of opening, but since this evening, it has been reinforcing the fortifications and pillboxes, and the third company of reconnaissance judged that Jiang Dingwen seems to be indifferent to the fall of Ningdu. ”

"Order the Third Company to continue to monitor Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture, and if the enemy has any trouble, immediately send a notification." Zhang Cheng ordered.

"Political Commissar Xiao Hua's judgment is really correct, it seems that Jiang Dingwen has made up his mind, and he will not be able to defend it until Chen Cheng's army arrives. Hmph, if you want to stay still, you have to make you move. Zhang Cheng snorted coldly in his heart.
