The results of the Liping Resistance Battle were undoubtedly extremely brilliant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Cheng, who returned to the headquarters of the county division, couldn't help but smile when he looked at the list of results sent by Feng Shaojie, the director of logistics.

The list of results is as follows: The Liping Blocking Battle lasted four hours, completely annihilating the enemy's 99th Division, destroying most of the enemy's 5th, 13th, and 96th divisions, killing a total of 5,450 enemies, seriously wounding 1,280, lightly wounding 2,750, and capturing 10,470 enemies. According to statistics, a total of two enemy divisions have been destroyed.

The capture was even more abundant, and many enemies threw on the ground even the guns used to eat as soldiers, not to mention heavy weapons such as cannons and machine guns, in order to flee for their lives.

Among them, 4 enemy heavy artillery, 20 mountain artillery, 106 mortars, and 8,000 shells were captured. There were also a lot of guns and ammunition seized, 60 heavy machine guns, 380 light machine guns, more than 15,000 rifle and pistols, and millions of rounds of ammunition.

Thinking of such abundant captures, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh that the equipment of the Central Army was indeed much stronger than that of the Hunan Army, the Gui Army, and the Guangdong Army.

Only one mortar battalion is assigned to a division of the Hunan Army, and only one heavy machine gun company is assigned to a regiment in a regiment, while the heavy machine guns of the Central Army are assigned to the company, and the mortars are assigned to the regiment, and each division has an artillery battalion.

Chang Kaishen deserved the reputation of the captain of the transportation brigade of the Workers' and Peasants' Party Army in later generations, and it seems that if he wants to continue to grow his troops, he still has to fight more with the Central Army, which is too rich.

But as soon as Zhang Cheng saw the casualty report, his face suddenly darkened.

The division suffered more than 2,000 casualties, almost the largest casualties since the establishment of the Young Communist Division, and the number of soldiers who died alone reached 800, although compared with the enemy's casualties, it was only one-seventh or eighth, but the Red Army's strength base was small, and there was no base area, so it was extremely difficult to replenish the source of troops.

On the contrary, the war resources of the Kuomintang army are very abundant, and the lost troops can be quickly replenished, and the gap between the war resources of the two sides is really too great.

It is no wonder that the Japanese devils were so powerful that they wiped out millions of Kuomintang troops, and they could not force Chang Kaishen to surrender, but were dragged to death with the cooperation of the Kuomintang (Kuomintang) and the Workers (Workers' and Peasants' Party) armies.

According to statistics, the casualties were mainly caused in the positional blocking battle, especially Ding Wei's 2nd Brigade, although the 1st Brigade withstood the enemy's two divisions in turn with the strength of the 1st Brigade, but the casualties paid were also very heavy.

Zhang Cheng blamed himself in his heart; "I still underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Central Army. Zhou Hunyuan's column relied on the superiority of troops and weapons to defeat Mr. Lin's First Army and Mr. Peng's Third Army several times in history. ”

After packing up his sad feelings, Zhang Cheng set his sights on weapons, ammunition and captured soldiers, the strength of the Young Communist Division was as many as 30,000, and it would be too bloated to replenish the troops, and it would be even more difficult to command.

It seems that the strength of the six brigades should be fixed at 5,000 men per brigade, and as for the extra prisoners, a new regiment can be formed, the baggage battalion, guard battalion, and heavy fire battalion of the units directly under the division can be expanded into regiments, and all combat brigades can be organized into an artillery battalion, and so on. The rest of the captives will be handed over to the main force of the Red Army to digest, and the commanders of the First, Third, and Fifth Army Corps, Mr. Lin, Mr. Peng, and the commander of the Dong Corps are estimated to be fighting for this batch of captives again!

After thinking about the follow-up matters one by one, Zhang Cheng instructed the political commissar to properly bury the martyrs. Then he ordered the troops to take a break during the period when the Kuomintang army was temporarily unable to pursue the Young Communist Division, so as to recuperate and meet the greater battles and challenges in the future.

At this time, Zhou Hunyuan had already retreated to the column headquarters in Hongzhou with the remnants.

Guo Siyan remembered the task of his palace, and hurriedly led the guards to desperately collect the remnants of the 99th Division, and only after placing the remnants did he go to report to Zhou Hunyuan. When I walked into Zhou Hunyuan's headquarters, I saw several division commanders sitting listlessly with Zhou Hunyuan, all of them looking discouraged.

Seeing Guo Siyan enter the door, without waiting for him to salute, Zhou Hunyuan stood up and saluted him first: "Heart is like a brother, thank you for your hard work!" Then he enthusiastically stretched out his hands and shook hands with Guo Siyan.

Guo Siyan looked flattered on his face, but he slandered in his heart: "Today is the sun coming out in the west, Zhou Hunyuan, who has always been unsmiling at himself, will shake hands with him warmly and salute himself?"

It seems that I should have arranged my 99th division to feel guilty for their royal highness. Well, he must not let him find out about abandoning the 99th Division and secretly escaping, but fortunately, he was smart enough to take the lead in containing the remnants. ”

Slander is slander, Guo Siyan also hurriedly stepped forward to clasp Zhou Hunyuan's hand with both hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I humbly completed the blocking task and led the remnants of the 99th Division to retreat!" ”

Then Guo Siyan put down his hands again, took a step back, and after saluting Zhou Hunyuan, he said with tears in his eyes: "Report to the military seat, our department was ordered to block the red bandits to cover the retreat of the main force, and the troops suffered great losses, a total of more than 8,000 soldiers were sacrificed, only a few hundred people fled back, and even the humble post was almost ......, fortunately, the three armies saved the humble duty desperately, otherwise the humble post might have been killed." ”

Hearing that the 99th Division had suffered such a big loss, several division commanders in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately their own troops were not the one with the biggest losses, but thinking that the 99th Division had caused such a big loss in order to cover their own troops, they all came over to comfort Guo Siyan and inquire about the battle situation.

Zhou Hunyuan also wanted to know how Guo Siyan escaped back, so he said: "Brother Xinru might as well tell me about the battle situation in detail, and everyone will summarize it as a lesson." ”

Guo Siyan hurriedly racked his brains, made up a report on the false battle situation, and portrayed himself as a tragic hero who "has the intention to kill the thief and has no power to return to the sky", and even Zhou Hunyuan and several division commanders were moved by the false story he fabricated.

At the end, he still said with palpitations: "Fortunately, the military seat decisively ordered the troops to break through and retreat, if it is ten minutes late, the humble post will not be able to return." ”

Zhou Hunyuan also sighed in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "I, Zhou, spit on a nail, I promised Brother Xinru to ask the chairman for instructions to give priority to replenishing the strength of the 99th Division, but now the difficulty is how to report the battle situation to the chairman!" Alas......"

The other division commanders were also worried, and then began to find excuses for themselves, all of them were overpowered, wanting to push away the responsibility for the defeat, and Zhou Hunyuan also looked helpless.

It wasn't until half a sound that Guo Siyan suddenly had an idea, and then said tentatively to Zhou Hunyuan: "Junzao, I have an idea for my humble position, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Zhou Hunyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged: "It's all this time, if there is anything else that should be said, let's listen to it." ”

Guo Siyan said: "Chief Jiang Dingwen also suffered a big loss from the International Division of the Young Communist Party in Shicheng, and even he was captured by Zhang Cheng, and later it was Chief Chen Cheng who ransomed him.

Since an official as big as Chief Jiang Dingwen can be redeemed back, why can't our officers and soldiers come back? I guess that the International Division of the Young Communist Party should have captured about 10,000 of our army, and as long as we ransom three or four thousand and bring back some officers at a higher price, wouldn't our large army still be sound? In this way, the chairman's face will be present, and the report on the war situation will naturally be easier to write. Let's find a way to pull some strong men, and we can easily replenish the troops. ”

Zhou Hunyuan and several division commanders applauded loudly when they heard Guo Siyan's method, and Zhou Hun Yuan immediately decided: "Let's do it, as long as the troops are complete, the defeat can be said to be a draw, and then on the grounds that the weapons of the fierce battle with the red bandits are extremely depleted, please ask the chairman to add another batch of weapons and ammunition to us, and we can bring this defeat back." It's just that who should we send to contact Zhang Cheng? ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Guo Siyan scolded despicable in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "Since I came up with the idea, let me contact you." ”

Zhou Hunyuan made a decision on the spot and ordered Guo Siyan to go and contact him, but he asked again: "Chief Chen Cheng exchanged the captives for Chief Jiang Dingwen and the others, do we have so many prisoners and the ocean?" ”

Guo Siyan said: "It's not difficult, there are 4,000 red bandits in Hunan army Liu Jianxu, let's just give him some benefits and bring the red bandits out." ”

The crowd applauded and said that this was the case.
