Historically, the Red Eighteenth Regiment was surrounded and annihilated by the Gui army in Gulingtou on the afternoon of December 1. The Gui army then pursued the Red 8th Army and routed the division. The Red 34th Division broke through the siege from Xinwei, drilled into the mountains for two days, and only walked out of the mountains on December 3 and rushed to the Xiangjiang River, and as soon as they got out of the mountains, they were ambushed by the 44th Division of the Gui Army, and the political commissar, the director of the Political Department, and many soldiers died. Although the Gui army was successful in the ambush, it was also defeated by the 34th Division, and it was impossible to figure out the reality of the 34th Division, so it did not dare to pursue it excessively. When the 34th Division arrived at the Xiangjiang River, the main force of the Red Army had already left the Xiangjiang River, and the two banks had been blocked, and other enemy troops learned that the 34th Division of the Red Army was still on the east bank, and they were swarming there, and the Red 34th Division could not cross the river, and planned to return to southern Hunan to fight guerrillas.

Due to the appearance of Liu Yimin, the artillery battalion of the 44th Division of the Gui Army was blown up, the baggage battalion was captured, and the two main regiments of the 24th Division of the Gui Army were annihilated. Of the two divisions commanded by Xia Wei of the 15th Army of the Gui Army, one lost two main regiments, and the other lost heavy firepower and ammunition. The Gui army was not able to completely eliminate the Red 18th Regiment, but instead allowed the Red 18th Regiment to join forces with the Red 34th Division. The Red 34th Division and the 18th Regiment received sufficient supplies and withdrew from the battle ahead of schedule. It can be said that the current Red 34th Division is the best equipped and the only first-class main force in the Central Red Army with sufficient food and ammunition and heavy firepower composed of mortars and heavy machine guns, and the 18th Regiment has also been given the opportunity to be reborn. The fate of these two heroic units has been quietly rewritten by Liu Yimin.

After the forced march for more than an hour, Liu Yimin led the company of sharp soldiers to the vicinity of Fenghuangzui, and heard the gunfire in front of him from a distance, and Liu Yimin immediately shouted: "The whole company has formed a battle formation, and Wang Dahu has led a squad in the name of the 24th Division of the Gui Army to the front to search to see what troops are fighting the Red Army." ”

Wang Dahu agreed, and ran forward with a group of over-the-top teams.

On a small plateau near the Fenghuangzui ferry, hundreds of soldiers of the International Division of the Young Communist Party were holding back the enemy. This piece of high ground is not high, it is just a small dirt bag, which is very unfavorable for defense. The soldiers of the International Division of the Young Communist Party had already arrived at the ferry, the main force of the division had already crossed the Xiang River, and when it was the turn of their rearguard troops to cross the pontoon bridge, the rout of the Red 8th Army Corps rushed in and pushed them aside. At this time, the enemy's planes blew up the pontoon bridge, and they were left on the east bank of the Xiang River. Finding that the Hunan army's pursuing troops had arrived, the soldiers, under the leadership of the battalion and company cadres, quickly occupied this small hill, and before they had time to build a position, the Hunan army began to attack.

The Hunan army had already repelled two company-sized attacks, and many enemy corpses lay on the hillside. The Red Imps of the International Division of the Young Communist Party also suffered heavy casualties, and there were only more than 300 of the more than 500 people left who could fight, and the battalion commander who originally organized the troops to block the attack was also sacrificed. But everyone knows that they can't retreat if they want to at this time, because there is no way to retreat, and behind it is the surging Xiangjiang River.

The heavy machine guns of the Hunan army began to fire again, and the bullets were like wind, so that the soldiers could not raise their heads. A Red Army cadre shouted to the soldiers around him: "Pass down, the enemy is not allowed to shoot less than 50 meters, save bullets, aim and hit." "The order was passed down one by one warrior.

The enemy came up, and the black pressed a piece, and it seemed that it was another company.

At this time, the soldiers of the Hunan army believed that the red bandits said by the commander were coming to Xiangxi to occupy territory, grab land, and rob women, and only by eliminating the red bandits could they keep the Hunan of their Hunan people. Therefore, the morale is very high, coupled with the excitement of the victory and the longed-for ocean, these Hunan soldiers have already killed red eyes. Who knew that he pursued all the way to the ferry, but was repelled by a group of child soldiers twice in a row. Is it tolerable or unbearable! If you can't even defeat this group of baby soldiers in front of you, what is the prestige of the Hunan army? Therefore, the Hunan army, which was angry by the red imps, was led by the junior officers to take the lead in the charge, and rushed towards the small mountain bag with a roar.

It's close, it's close, and it's about to rush up the mountain, and the company commander of the Hunan Army shouted proudly: "The red bandits are not good, brothers, whoever rushes up first will win the award, rush!" ”

At this time, the Red Army position shouted the word "hit", and a salvo was sprinkled at the Hunan army's charging team, and the enemy company commander stumbled, his face full of incredulity, and fell to the ground. A soldier shouted in panic: "Oh no, the company commander has lost the ball!" The soldiers of the Hunan army stopped when they heard the shouting and looked at the shouting. Seeing this, one of the cadres on the positions of the Red Army shouted "Throw a grenade!" He grabbed a grenade and threw it over, and the grenade that followed dissipated the sharpness of the Hunan soldiers, and the soldiers turned their heads and ran towards the starting position.

The commander of the enemy regiment who was watching the battle on the Hunan army position sighed and cursed.

The chief of staff hurriedly leaned over and said, "Don't be angry. The red bandits were almost unable to hold on, so we organized our troops to shoot at them for a while, and they ran out of bullets. There is no need to consume our strength for a group of dolls. ”

The enemy regiment commander waved his hand and said, "You go and arrange it." Anyway, they can't run, wait a little longer, and our big army will come up. ”

When the top soldiers were near the ferry, the Hunan army was shooting at the Red Army. It seems that the Red Army is a little overwhelmed, and the gunfire is already very sparse.

Wang Dahu and the first class came back, and also brought back a [***] liaison officer, Wang Dahu reported to Liu Yimin that it was clear that it was a regiment of the Hunan Army that was pursuing the Red Army.

After saluting, the liaison officer of the Hunan Army said that they were under General Liu Jianxu of the 28th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and that a large army was chasing and suppressing the main force of the red bandits near the head of the border. Their division was ordered to pursue the Communist Doll Division, and fought fiercely all the way, and most of the Red Bandit Doll Division retreated. Their regiment pursued the rearguard troops of the Doll Division to this point, and the main force of the division was encircling and suppressing the remnants of the bandits at the Jieshou Ferry, but they had not yet come up. The remnants of the Red Bandits at the Fenghuangzui Ferry were dealt a heavy blow by our Air Force, the pontoon bridge crossing the river had been blown up, and the remnants of the Red Bandits were hesitating and wandering by the river, and their regiment was engaged in a battle with the remnants of the Red Bandit Doll Division, and the regiment commander asked the friendly troops to immediately join the battle and attack the Red Bandits together.

Liu Yimin thought to himself, fuck, hurry up, it's still too late. The tragedy of the Red Army's follow-up troops being bombed by the enemy on the banks of the Xiangjiang River and bleeding was still happening. The task at the moment is to eliminate this Hunan army, and the Red Army scattered by the river can save as much as it can. Thinking of this, Liu Yimin said, we are the 24th Division of the Fourth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which rushed over from Xinwei, and the 44th Division that cooperated with the operation is still encircling and suppressing the main force of the Red 34th Division in Xinwei. We pursued the 18th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Communist Army all the way, and after repeated fierce battles, we have completely eliminated the enemy. We are the vanguard troops, and the large army will arrive immediately, so go back and tell you the regimental commander that as soon as the large force of our army arrives, we will immediately launch an attack.

The liaison officer of the Hunan army said happily: "Okay, when the red bandits are eliminated, our regiment invites the brothers to drink!" Then he saluted and walked away.

After a while, the 101st Regiment of the Red 34th Division wearing the uniform of the Gui Army came up, and Liu Yimin, Director Cai Zhong, and Commander Su Daqing decided to take the enemy in the name of the Gui Army and immediately assault to eliminate this Hunan army.

The commander of the Hunan regiment thought that the Gui army was coming, so he rushed out of the temporary command post excitedly, brandished his pistol and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements are coming, don't let the friendly troops underestimate us, rush up and kill all the red bandits." Come on. ”

A whole regiment of Hunan troops immediately moved all the way, and the soldiers straightened up one after another, and launched a charge under the leadership of the officer, as if the ocean of white flowers in front of them would be snatched away by the Gui army if they rushed slowly.

The gunfire on the positions of the Red Army was getting weaker and weaker. It's clear that the Red Imps are running out of bullets, and they're at the end of their crossbows. At this time, fools knew that the Red Army could not withstand it, and as long as they worked harder, they would soon be able to rush to the Red Army positions to surrender their guns and capture prisoners. The Hunan soldiers were red-eyed, screaming and rushing forward.

Brother Gui Jun, who rushed up from behind, began to shoot. Unfortunately, they shot at the Hunan brothers who were charging. At such a close distance, there was almost no need to aim, machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, and shell guns were greeted in one go. The fire is so dense and constant. Soon, grenades and bayonets also beckoned. Charging forward, defending on the spot, crawling on the ground and preparing to pretend to be a dead dog, etc., all the Hunan soldiers immediately fell from the joy of imminent victory into the ice cave that fell into the trap, the huge contrast and the dense bullets fired from the back, let them fully experience a free luxury tour from heaven to hell. Many soldiers didn't even have a chance to look back, and fell down in pain from the bullets tearing through their bodies. Even the posture of falling down is so neat, basically the mouth gnaws mud style, as if being inspected by the god of hell.

Another perfect sneak attack. Unlike the elimination of the two regiments of the 24th Division of the Gui Army, the Gui Army fell in the face of the Red Army, and this time the Hunan Army fell with its back to the Red Army. The commander of the Hunan army didn't understand until his death, why the Gui army shot at them, could it be that these Guangxi soldiers were going to war with the central government again?

The huge change also stunned the Red Army soldiers of the Young Communist International Division who were struggling to support the blocking position, their guns were basically empty of bullets, and the grenades had already run out, and the soldiers who were ready to die honorably could not have imagined that the white dogs behind the Hunan army's charging formation would suddenly shoot at their own people, and the firepower was so powerful that they did not leave a gap. Seeing the Hunan army's charging formation fall in rows, the soldiers suddenly realized that this was our own Red Army team that had arrived, and it was our team that was carrying out a sneak attack in disguise as an enemy army. The little soldiers who wept with joy rushed out of the position, shouting slogans of rushing and capturing prisoners, and rushed towards the Hunan army opposite.

The battle ended quickly, and the regiment of the Hunan army pursued all the way, and when it arrived at the Fenghuangzui ferry, there were about 1,500 people, except for more than 300 people who surrendered their guns and took prisoners early, the remaining 1,200 people were all killed. The Red 34th Division's Elite Company and the 101st Regiment still had zero casualties, and the head of Su Daqing happily slapped Liu Yimin a few fists and shouted: "It's really fucking fun to fight with your kid." ”

Liu Yimin felt unhappy, thinking that there was no technical content in this battle, it was purely a black hand from behind, and the Hunan army had no chance to fight back, and it did not show the combat effectiveness of the Tieliu Rear Guard of the Red 34th Division, which had just replenished weapons and ammunition.

By the time Division Commander Chen Shuxiang and Political Commissar Cheng Cuilin arrived, the battlefield had already been cleaned up. The 100 regiment of the rear guard quickly organized troops to occupy nearby blocking positions.

Liu Yimin accompanied Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin to the ferry with the 101st Regiment, the 102nd Regiment, the 18th Red Regiment and the newly formed heavy firepower company to escort the prisoners and the wounded and sick to the ferry. As far as the eye can see, there are gray corpses of the Red Army floating everywhere on the Xiangjiang River, the pontoon bridge has been blown up, and the broken bridge deck is full of corpses of the Red Army. Groups of scattered Red Army stood in the cold wind, not knowing what to do. Liu Yimin told Chen Shuxiang that he should immediately reorganize these scattered troops and wade across the river on foot, otherwise the enemy would immediately catch up and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Shuxiang asked Liu Yimin how he knew that Xiangjiang could be involved in vain? Of course, Liu Yimin can't say that he knew from the research of later generations that the Fenghuangzui ferry section of the Xiangjiang River could be involved in vain at this time. In fact, during the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, the water depth of the Jieshou Ferry could not be waded in vain, while the Fenghuangzui Ferry could be waded in vain due to the wide water surface. It is a pity that the Red Army did not know at that time, and under the bombardment of enemy aircraft, it was impossible to measure. Liu Yimin had no choice but to reply that he had sent a soldier who knew how to water to experiment, and the water was chest-deep and could be crossed, but the river was very cold.

After Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin discussed, they immediately ordered the 101st and 102nd regiments to change back into Red Army uniforms, the 101st regiment took the lead in crossing the river, and the 102nd regiment and the newly formed heavy firepower battalion followed and contacted the remaining troops after crossing the river. If contact cannot be made, or if the enemy forces are blocked, the 101st Regiment will control the point on the left, and the 102nd Regiment will forcibly control the point on the right. The newly formed heavy firepower battalion was under the command of the 102nd Regiment, and the chief of staff acted with the regiment, ready to block all incoming enemies at any time and cover the whole division across the river. The political commissar led the division to immediately reorganize the ferry and disperse the troops, interrogate the Hunan prisoners, and organize the wounded and sick to cross the river. Division Commander Chen Shuxiang himself acted with the 100th regiment behind the palace and was the rear guard of the whole division.

Liu Yimin hurriedly asked himself what the task of the Elite Company was, and Chen Shuxiang replied that the Elite Company was temporarily merged with the Red 18th Regiment and immediately organized its troops, and that it could also select people from the Red Army who remained at the ferry, replenish weapons and ammunition from the captured equipment, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Liu Yimin thought to himself, the [***] people of this era are really [***] people, the soldiers of the Pioneer Company themselves are the elite of the Red 34th Division, under their own leadership, they have been trained into the sharp knives of the whole division in less than a day, and the division commander Chen Shuxiang was incorporated into the Red 18th Regiment without saying a word, you must know that the 34th Division belongs to the Red Fifth Army Corps, and the Red Eighteenth Regiment belongs to the Sixth Division of the Red Third Army Corps. Liu Yimin was really moved and almost shed tears, and hurriedly saluted the division commander, political commissar, chief of staff, director of the Political Department, and regiment commanders one by one.

The head of Su Daqing saw that Liu Yimin was still saluting, so he said, "Okay, it's all the Red Army, what's polite." However, your kid created two firsts for our Red Army: one was to win four battles and four victories on the day he joined the army, winning more with less, and achieving fruitful results, and the Red Army was the first; The other is to be promoted three times in a day, from recruit to platoon commander to company commander to acting regiment commander, and the promotion is the first in the Red Army, and I am afraid that it is also the first in the world. Work hard and win more battles. ”

Liu Yimin snapped a salute: "Guarantee to complete the task and live up to the expectations of the leaders!" ”

Chen Shuxiang drank: "Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, act now!" ”

When they were separated, Liu Yimin told the head of the 102nd regiment, Lu Gongyin, that he wanted to find a rope, pull up two ropes after crossing the river, and if he could find more ropes, he would pull up two on both sides and two on the bottom, and dismantle the cart that pulled the wounded and sick, pave it with wooden planks, and build a simple pontoon bridge. If they can't find a rope, let the soldiers take the leggings, connect them, pull up a rope, and let the soldiers grab the rope to cross the river.
