At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, after a night's sleep, Zhang Cheng was exhausted and refreshed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As soon as the wake up call rang in the info barracks, he enthusiastically conducted a half-hour drill with the special operations team, hoping to be physically strong, and in the war years, having a good body is the capital to save his life.

Sweating profusely, Zhang Cheng took a shower and then went to the health brigade of the Young Communist Division, made a special trip to visit the wounded soldiers, and came to the compound of the health brigade, Zhang Cheng found that the conditions inside were very simple, especially the lack of hospital beds, and most of the wounded soldiers could only lie on the ground. There is also an extreme shortage of medical personnel, with only six doctors and about 20 nurses in the entire brigade, and even fewer medical equipment and medicines, which are far worse than the rural clinics in the 80s.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Cheng ordered the guards to notify the engineer battalion, which now had no task, and ordered them to come to the health brigade to help take care of the wounded, and help the medical staff boil water and wash gauze.

Seeing that the conscientious medical staff were busy, Zhang Cheng was also embarrassed to be idle, he walked to the side of the wounded who had no one to take care of for the time being, and lying on the hospital bed was a fourteen or five-year-old soldier with a gunshot wound in the abdomen.

Zhang Cheng squatted down, skillfully picked up the tampon, carefully and carefully cleaned the wound on the little soldier's abdomen, seeing the little soldier looking at Zhang Cheng with a smile, Zhang Cheng leaned over and asked softly: "Little doll, does it hurt?" ”

"Report to the division commander, I don't hurt, it's really fun to fight with the division commander, I killed 3 white dogs yesterday." The little warrior said excitedly.

"Well done! Little doll, what's your name. Zhang Cheng asked.

"Report to the division commander, my name is Li Erniu." The little warrior replied.

"Comrade Li Erniu, you are a good soldier, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and return to the army as soon as possible." Zhang Cheng instructed.

What a warrior! I really hoped that he would survive the war years, and Zhang Cheng secretly made up his mind in his heart: In the future, he will do everything possible to get more medicines, organize researchers, invent drugs such as penicillin, and set up regular field hospitals, so that the wounded can receive timely and effective treatment and reduce the mortality rate of the wounded.

Zhang Cheng carefully looked at every seriously wounded and instructed them to cooperate with the medical personnel and return to the army as soon as possible. ”

When he returned to the division headquarters, Zhang Cheng called political commissar Xiao Hua over again, ordered him to properly handle the aftermath of the 87 martyrs who had died, and told him to record all the names, places of origin, ages, and battle history of the martyrs, and to erect a monument for them in the future to be recorded in the military history of the International Division of the Young Communist Party.

Xiao Hua thought of the eighty-seven sacrificed little soldiers, his heart couldn't help but become heavy, and he said in a low voice: "Division commander, you think about it so well, the eighty-seven martyrs all sacrificed for our party and our people, and we must not forget them." ”

After the explanation, Xiao Hua immediately went to deal with the arrangement, but at this time, Lin Li, the head of the communications section, came to report, saying that it was a telegram from the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the headquarters of the Red Army.

Xiao Hua stopped for a moment, took the telegram in Lin Li's hand, read it for a while, and said excitedly to Zhang Cheng: "Division commander, great, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and General Political Commissar Zhou of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission jointly sent a commendation order, as well as a congratulatory telegram from the headquarters of the Red Army. ”

Zhang Cheng took the telegram from Xiao Hua's hand and read it carefully, and it turned out to be a congratulatory telegram jointly sent by President Zhu, General Political Commissar Zhou, and Director Yang of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to the International Division of the Young Communist Party, praising the battle of the International Division of the Young Communist Party in northern Fujian as "the first test of the iron fist" and "the first song of the young eagle," and encouraging the Young Communist Division to improve its military technology 100-fold in the course of victory, meet more arduous battles, and strive for greater glory.

"How? Division commander, the leaders of the central authorities attach great importance to us, and they even sent us a congratulatory telegram so quickly in the midst of their busy schedules, and they are leaders as big as General Zhu of the Central Military Commission and General Political Commissar Zhou. Xiao Hua said with a smile.

Zhang Cheng smiled: "I'm very happy! Political commissar, we must not let down the great love of the central leadership for our young communist teachers, and we must repay the ardent expectations of Mr. Zhu and General Political Commissar Zhou for us with greater victories. ”

"Well said! Divisional commander, then I'll go and arrange work first. Xiao Hua said goodbye happily.

Xiao Hua only left on the front foot, and the chief of staff Zhang Fengming hurriedly came in on the back foot, and he hurriedly said: "Report to the division commander, I just received a call from Mr. Peng, informing us that the Red Third Army and the Red Fifth Army have lost the battle on the Eastern Front, the Red Third Army has crossed the Min River from the direction of Yicheng and returned to the Soviet base area, and the Red Fifth Army has also broken through and withdrawn from the battle, so our division sent all the main forces to block the pursuing enemy and cover the retreat of Chen Shuxiang of the 34th Division of the Fifth Army Corps. ”

The order was like a mountain, and Zhang Cheng immediately convened a pre-war meeting to arrange combat tasks. At the same time, the Communications Section got in touch with Chen Shuxiang, commander of the 34th Division of the Red Fifth Army Corps, and after sending a telegram to Chen Shuxiang, Zhang Cheng ordered the reconnaissance battalion to rush to the mountain road at the entrance of the Nakou area to welcome the arrival of the 34th Division, and ordered the blocking company to carry out a cold-gun and cold-artillery campaign to delay the enemy's pursuit and gain time for the main force to arrange an ambush circle.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the reconnaissance battalion reported that the retreating troops of the 34th Division had arrived, and Zhang Cheng immediately led the comrades of the division headquarters to meet them.

The 34th Division of the Red Fifth Army Corps is a heroic and tragic force, in history, the 34th Division served as the rear guard of the Central Red Army during the Red Army's Long March, during the Xiangjiang Campaign, in order to cover the main force of the Red Army to cross the Xiangjiang River, the 34th Division blocked the main force of the People's Party, and then was besieged by the Three-Way Army, and was finally outnumbered, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army, more than 7,000 people in the division, and only more than 90 people finally broke out of the encirclement, Chen Shuxiang Division Commander, Cheng Cuilin Political Commissar also died heroically.

"What a heroic unit, this anti-encirclement and suppression war must not let history repeat itself, and this heroic army must be saved." Zhang Cheng secretly made up his mind.

About half an hour later, Zhang Cheng Xiao Hua and others came to the mountain pass, at this time the large force of the 34th Division had basically passed, and there were scattered gunfire behind them, only to see that the commander of the 34th Division, Chen Shuxiang, personally commanded a battalion to serve as the rear guard, covering the retreat of the main force, and now they also withdrew to the mountain pass.

Zhang Cheng looked at the dusty face of Master Chen Shuxiang, and hurriedly greeted him, clasped his hands with both hands, and said sincerely: "Master Chen! You've done a great job! Hurry up and retreat, and leave the rest to our Young Communist International Division. ”

"Division Commander Zhang, thank you so much this time, you came to pick us up so quickly, otherwise my 34th Division will suffer heavy losses! We fought this battle too aggrievedly, and we fought a positional war with an enemy ten times stronger than us, and the Soviets really commanded blindly...... Alas, I won't say it, anyway, our losses this time are too great, the enemy army pursuing our division has relatively strong combat effectiveness, better weapons and equipment, and extremely fierce firepower, you have to deal with it carefully, don't bite him. Master Chen Shuxiang also held Zhang Cheng's hand tightly, and said with gratitude and advice.

Time was pressing, Zhang Cheng couldn't say much to Chen Shuxiang, and sent the 34th Division away, and Zhang Cheng immediately ordered the reconnaissance battalion to continue to block the enemy and cover the retreat of the 34th Division.

Back at the division headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhang Fengming reported to Zhang Cheng that the whole division had set up an ambush position, and the enemy's pursuing troops had entered the ambush circle, about the strength of one regiment, and the enemy was so arrogant that he didn't even have the heart to stop and observe after entering the ambush, and the routine search detachment in the war was not dispatched, and more than 2,000 soldiers in the whole regiment boldly chased after him.

The troops of the following regiment also swarmed in, and this group of the enemy was equally arrogant, and in order to seize the road, a group of soldiers even fought with the slower soldiers of the forward regiment.

Zhang Cheng was very angry when he saw this, what did they think of the Red Army, was it a lamb to the slaughter! Looking at the unsuspecting Kuomintang troops on the mountain road, Zhang Cheng sneered in his heart, a group of things that didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they didn't know it when they were dying.

Wang Wenhui is the commander of the 46th Brigade, since he received the order of the former enemy's commander-in-chief to pursue the Red 34th Division Chen Shuxiang who broke through and fled, he is very happy, you must know that the Red 34th Division is the main force of the Red Army, under normal circumstances, his 46th Brigade is by no means the opponent of the Red 34th Division, now it is good, the Red 34th Division has been defeated and fled, I can't fight regular battles, and it is not easy to beat the water dogs.

However, thinking that Zhou Zhiqun's 26th Division has not yet had any news, Wang Wenhui is still very cautious, and he ordered the pursuing troops to advance in three echelons, and once the forward troops are attacked, the two units of the center and the rear guard can be quickly reinforced, and repeatedly ordered the forward regiment to increase the search area, and must prevent the Red Army from sneaking attack.

Thinking that he had arranged it so tightly, Wang Wenhui believed that the Red 34th Division would never escape from the palm of his hand, and would definitely be wiped out by himself on the south bank of the Minjiang River.

However, just when he was riding on a big horse, immersed in the dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune, he suddenly heard a violent gunfire in front of him, and the fierce roar of artillery fire, as soon as he heard it, he knew that the extremely ferocious shells were definitely not what the Red Army could have today, and it must be his own troops biting the red bandits.

Thinking that he could completely annihilate this group of red bandits immediately, Wang Wenhui was so excited that his fat was trembling, and he immediately issued an order: "It must be that the forward troops have caught up with the red bandits, and order all the troops to run forward and immediately reinforce the forward troops." ”

"The brigade is really like a god, this time the red bandit is difficult to fly." The chief of staff next to him sneered.

"Hahahaha, don't be a sycophant, I'll be proud!" Wang Wenhui was very proud.

At this time, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment led by Zhang Cheng were lying on the hillside four miles away from the ambush point in front of Li, quietly waiting for the main force of the 46th Brigade to enter the ambush circle.

Ding, ding......

Every ten minutes, the phone rang next to Zhang Cheng, and it was the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion who were reporting the direction of the enemy troops.

"Report to the division commander, the enemy has entered the ambush circle."

"Hit!"

Zhang Cheng gave an order, and the guns rang out.
