Chapter VII Annihilation of the Enemy's 46th Brigade

As the soldiers of the 46th Brigade continued to walk into the ambush circle, Wang Wenhui's brows suddenly jumped wildly, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong in front, he had not received news from the front troops for more than half an hour, if the radio station of the forward troops was damaged by the enemy, then he would definitely send a herald to come on horseback to report the situation, but he had almost walked more than ten miles, why hadn't he seen a herald yet.

Wang Wenhui is a veteran oilman, participated in countless battles, during the Northern Expedition, he followed Chang Kaishen to fight the Beiyang Army, and later he returned to his hometown to join the Hunan Army, and belonged to the very old middle-level officers in the Hunan Army. It's a pity that he has the bad habit of smoking a lot, and he doesn't fall into He Jian's eyes, otherwise with his qualifications, he would have been a division commander a long time ago.

Although Wang Wenhui has not been promoted to an official position, his rich combat experience is beyond doubt. Although the troops were still running forward, he had not let down his vigilance.

In the dark, he always felt a pair of eagle-like eyes staring at him on the hillside of the road in front of him, and this feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, as if it was a bad omen. He was supposed to order the troops to stop and retreat back at all costs, but he remembered that he had just given the order to run forward, and now he changed his words and retreated, as if he was suspected of being in chaos, so he hesitated.

This hesitation made Wang Wenhui pay the price of his life, after Wang Wenhui's troops advanced for five miles, he suddenly smelled a disgusting bloody breath in his nose, Wang Wenhui immediately became vigilant, he felt that this breath seemed to be very familiar, and remembered that this was the kind of bloody breath when he participated in the Northern Expedition when thousands of troops and horses died.

Wang Wenhui didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately shouted: "It's not good! It's an ambush! But as soon as he said his words, he heard a "bang" gunshot, and his head hurt, and the world suddenly went dark, and he didn't know anything.

It was Zhang Cheng who shot him, when he took the telescope to observe the enemy's situation, he happened to see an officer riding on a tall horse, needless to say that it was the enemy's officer, how could Zhang Cheng let go of such a good opportunity? After all the enemies entered the ambush circle, Zhang Cheng issued an order and immediately picked up his rifle and killed Wang Wenhui with one shot.

When Zhang Cheng hit the enemy brigade commander, the soldiers of the 59th Regiment were not idle, and they shot at the target they were aiming at. Subsequently, the three-class axe of the Young Communist Division worked again, mountain artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and a burst of wild bombardment. With the death of the supreme commander and the leaderlessness of the dragons, the enemy army is like a swarm of headless flies, scurrying around.

Zhang Cheng saw that the enemy army had lost the strength to resist, and he didn't want to kill more people in the civil war, so he immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the charge horn in advance, and let the charging soldiers shout "surrender the gun and don't kill".

Zhang Cheng smiled as he watched the enemy troops on the opposite side kneel on the ground and raise their hands in surrender like dominoes in the face of the brave charge of the Red Army.

"The Chinese soldiers in the old era were all like this, they were not afraid of the opponent firing guns and cannons, they were afraid that the opponent would charge. It seems that in history, it is not a joke that a small squad of the Japanese army dared to pursue a division of the Kuomintang Army, but it is likely to be a true deed. ”

The battle went as Zhang Cheng expected, and after being hit by the three squads of the Young Communist Division, the 46th Brigade immediately collapsed, abandoned all its heavy weapons, fled frantically, and was finally wiped out and captured by the Young Communist Division.

Only after returning to the division headquarters, the telegraph operator of the communications section ran towards Zhang Cheng with cheers, and said excitedly: "Division commander, political commissar, good news, the 58th Regiment Li Yunlong Division and the 60th Regiment Zhou Weiguo Division have completely annihilated the enemy's forward troops and intermediate troops. ”

Zhang Cheng took the telegram, glanced at it, his brows suddenly expanded, laughed, and then ordered the guards: "Good fight, Xiao Li, go and notify the commanders of all units to come to the division headquarters for a summary meeting, and also, inform the cooking squad to start cooking, and give the big guys something delicious on the whole, everyone hasn't eaten lunch yet." ”

"Okay, master, the master of the cooking class has already prepared the meal, just waiting for you to return victorious." Guard Xiao Li said with a smile.

After lunch, everyone came to the conference room and looked at the heads, political commissars, and chiefs of staff of each unit with smiles on their faces, and Zhang Cheng also laughed.

"After two days of continuous fighting, I finally got idle, and everyone was here, so let's have a post-war summary meeting, Director Feng, let's talk about the results of the troops first!" Zhang Cheng Road.

"Yes, division commander, our results this time can be described as brilliant. Hehe, let's talk about the annihilation of the enemy first, a 26th division and a 46th brigade of the enemy army, a total of more than 15,287 people, including 6,152 enemy killed, more than 300 seriously wounded enemy troops, and more than 8,000 prisoners and lightly wounded, including a division commander of the 26th Division, 11 officers above the regimental level, a brigade commander killed, and three regimental officers. Seeing the continuous big victories of the troops, Feng Shaojie, the director of logistics, couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, haha......" The cadres of the various units couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, comrades, don't be happy yet, what about the rest of the story? Destroying the enemy is only a small head, and capturing is the big head! After the two battles, we captured a total of six mountain guns, 40 mortars, and more than 3,000 shells; 25 heavy machine guns, 218 light machine guns, 565 submachine guns, 10,358 rifles, 204 pistols, more than 1,000 grenades, more than 40,000 grenades, 700,000 rounds of ammunition, 33 truckloads of grain, about 15 tons, haha, our logistics office can send it this time! ”

After listening to the statistics of the director of logistics, Zhang Cheng was also a little stunned, with so many weapons and ammunition, it seems that his troops will be able to grow soon.

"And what about the casualties of our army?" Zhang Cheng asked

"Division commander, after the two battles, our army has lost a total of 114 people, 123 seriously wounded, and more than 400 people were slightly injured. Feng Shaojie said with a heavy heart.

"We must do our best to treat the seriously wounded, try to make them all alive, and tell the medical staff not to save medicines, as long as there is a therapeutic effect, then open to the wounded. Alas! The situation of our division is very special, the average age of the soldiers in the division is less than 18 years old, and the sacrifice of any one is heart-wrenching, and their lives have just begun! Zhang Cheng said bitterly.

"Teacher, don't be sad, born in this era, bloodshed and sacrifice are always inevitable, otherwise where would there be a saying that 'I would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world'. But those martyrs who died in battle were all good and heroes, and every drop of blood they shed for the revolution was worth it, and their sacrifices were not in vain. Political Commissar Xiao Hua persuaded.

"Yes, the political commissar is right, it is precisely because of this that we must work harder to revolutionize, to fight, to overthrow this evil old society, so that our children and grandchildren do not have to go to the battlefield at a young age like us, but let them go back to the classroom, learn cultural knowledge, and contribute to the construction of a new society." Zhang Cheng said with emotion.

After discussing the battle losses, the commanders of the various units also raised some problems that had arisen in the battle, and formed a written content, which was submitted to the General Staff Office to put forward suggestions for rectification.

"Okay, that's all for today's post-war summary meeting, you all go back and have a good rest, and we will continue to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to study the next move of our Young Communist Division, and then adjourn the meeting."

Looking at the cadres who came out, Zhang Cheng shouted to Xiao Hua and said: "Political commissar, if you stay, we will report after the battle and report to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission." ”

"Alas, I forgot, it's all my fault, I'm going to write a telegram." Xiao Hua patted his forehead and said in annoyance.

Looking at the conference room that was quiet in an instant, Zhang Cheng thought quietly, from later generations he knew that now is the most difficult time for the Red Army, under the erroneous command of the Soviet faction, the defeat of the Red Army has been decided, and it is by no means something that Zhang Cheng can reverse by desperately flapping the wings of a butterfly, the only thing Zhang Cheng can do is to try his best to strengthen the strength of his troops, and after the Long March, retain enough vitality for the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and contribute more strength to the future War of Resistance against Japan.

As Zhang Cheng thought, at this time, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission was immersed in the sorrow of defeat on the Eastern Front, all the members of the Military Commission lowered their heads, smoked in a dull manner, and basically no one was willing to speak, and some people remembered the invincible situation when Chairman Mao commanded the Red Army, and they missed the chairman who was kicked out of the Party Central Committee more and more.

"Great victory! Great victory! A good news wafted into the silent conference room, and all the participants looked at the door of the conference room.

"Staff Officer Zhang, what's going on on the front line?" General Political Commissar Zhou stood up and asked.

"Report to the leaders, the International Division of the Young Communist Party has sent a telegram." Staff Officer Zhang said excitedly.

"Oh, show it to me." General Political Commissar Zhou took the telegram, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It seems that our children's teacher has made new contributions, and we all underestimate the doll Zhang Cheng." ”

"Heads of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, our unit ambushed the enemy's 46th Brigade pursuing the 34th Division this morning, and completely annihilated a total of 2,785 enemy troops in this battle, captured more than 2,000 people, captured countless weapons and ammunition, and killed more than 40 people and wounded more than 100 people. In addition, our ministry has decided to temporarily rest and recuperate in the Nakou area, hoping that the Central Military Commission will give guidance. Zhang Cheng, commander of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, and Xiao Hua, political commissar. ”

"Haha, that kid in Zhang Cheng is really good, he is worthy of being a master disciple brought out by Lao Mao, when I see him in the future, I must have a good fight with him, and let him tell him how this war of annihilation was fought." Mr. Peng laughed.
