Ouyang Jian said lightly: "Understanding the region will be a compulsory course for you in the future. When I first trained the officer system, I started by looking at the map. It's not enough to just be able to read a map, you also need to be familiar with the customs of the area. You see that Shangrao is the east gate of Jiangxi, bordering Zhejiang in the east and Anhui in the north, and its military value is prominent at present. Shangrao has a long history, as early as the Han Dynasty has formed a scale, the Tang Dynasty has been quite prosperous, there are many places of interest here, it is a place that many literati yearn for. ”

"The vast majority of Shangrao is hilly, plain, rich in products, and has been one of the richest areas in Jiangxi since ancient times. My plot is to shake the enemy and continue to mobilize the enemy's troops. Second, it is to fight the autumn wind, and accumulating money is also the purpose of our war, and in the future, the development of the base areas will never be possible without money. If we take Shangrao, it will definitely shake Lao Jiang, and he will personally give an order to encircle and suppress it. Zhejiang's Central Army will continue to enter Jiangxi, and the enemy troops in Yingtan will also be mobilized, and my purpose is to mobilize the enemy troops in Yingtan and look for fighters. ”

"Report, Captain Mu is back!" With the words, Mu Shixiong came to the front with a middle-aged man in his 30s. Greeting each other is inevitable, and the middle-aged man is very excited. After the mood of the visitor calmed down, Ouyang Jian said: "Please tell me about the situation of the enemy army in Shangrao City!" "After the 65th Brigade of the Central Army was dispatched, the department left a guard battalion and part of the logistics personnel. There is a security corps in the city, with about 500 personnel, and this is the case. Ouyang Jian carefully inquired about the distribution of the enemy's troops, and then ordered to bring people down to rest.

Soon the military meeting was held, and Ouyang Jian said confidently: "According to the report of the Dark Arrow personnel, the remaining troops of the 65th Brigade of Shangyao are a battalion, and there are a small number of logistics personnel. In addition, there is a local security corps in Shangrao, which numbers about 500 people. Guarding the gates of the city were soldiers of the Security Corps. Now there is nothing to worry about, I have decided to attack Shangrao tonight, Mu Shixiong! "Here!" "After dark, you sneak into the city from the city wall, and quietly control the north gate at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will lead a large army to ambush outside the north gate, and start the action at 4 o'clock!" "It's about resolutely completing the task."

After Mu Shixiong finished speaking, he led the special combat team to set off immediately, and the dark arrow officer led the way. After Mu Shixiong led the team away, Ouyang Jian instructed Xiao Ke and Zhang Shiying to arrange for the troops to continue to rest and move after dark. Xiao Ke and Zhang Shiying had to leave, and Ouyang Jian felt sleepy due to his relaxed mood. The wait is always long, and the sun seems to hang in the sky and does not move. The sunset finally put away the last rays of light, and night fell quietly. The troops hurried to eat and hit the road. Under the cover of night, the troops went directly onto the main road, and even if anyone found out, they would think that it was a movement of the Central Army troops, and would not arouse suspicion.

At night, the stars are dim and everything is silent. The special combat team members, led by the dark arrow guide, came to a secluded place on the west side of the city wall. "Captain Mu, the security corps sentries patrol the city wall every half an hour, can they pass through the city wall in half an hour?" "No problem, we're specially trained." The team approached the city wall, and two patrolling security sentries appeared on it, and two sentries walked straight over with lanterns, not very vigilant. Mu Shixiong waved his hand, and one of the team members raised his hand to throw the hook to the battlement of the city wall. There was a slight noise from above, and everyone held their breath. There was no response from above, and the team tugged hard at the rope and quickly climbed up.

The Dark Arrow Guide was the last to go up, and the team members above almost lifted him up, and Mu Shixiong glanced at the pocket watch and it took 20 minutes. After the special combat team entered the city, under the guidance of the guide, they quietly touched the north gate. There were still about 100 meters to the north gate, and the troops were hiding in a patch of grass. Mu Shixiong glanced at his pocket watch again, the time was just after 1 a.m., and there were still 2 hours before 3 o'clock to act. The guide in the dark introduced: "Usually there are only two sentry posts standing guard at the city gate, and the guards are changed every 3 hours. After the 65th Brigade left, the city gate was strengthened and a squad of sentry posts was added, and the guards were changed every four hours. ”

The wait was long, and at 2 a.m., a squad of security regiment soldiers came on time for the changing of the guard. After a brief period of noise, the gatehouse was quiet again. Their ambush was close to the city walls, and there were many weeds and mosquitoes, and they suffered a lot from the pesky mosquitoes while waiting. At 3 o'clock in the morning, Mu Shixiong ordered Dabao to lead the action team to start the operation. The sentries of the security regiment are distributed as follows: 4 sentries on the inside of the city gate, 4 sentries on the city tower, and two mobile sentries on each side of the city tower, which Mu Shixiong has mastered.

The vigilance of the security sentries was too poor, and the two sentries at the city gate were easily killed. Half an hour later, there were no sentries left on the city tower. In order to prevent detection, special operators temporarily act as enemy sentinels. At 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, the gate of Shangrao North City was wide open, and the troops saw the signal and quickly entered the city and went straight to the target. The course of the battle was negligible, and the 65 Brigade Guard Battalion reacted fairly sensitively and resisted for an hour to surrender. The soldiers of the security regiment were captured almost as soon as they were asleep. In the course of resistance, the 65 Brigade Guard Battalion reported the appearance of the Red Army in Shangrao City to the headquarters of the 22 Division by radio.

The division commander Zhou Zhe was taken aback by the report of the Shangrao garrison battalion, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss. "Shizuo, Ouyang Jian shook a shot in Jingdezhen, and it turned out that the target was Shangrao. We were deceived by him, Ouyang Jian actually dared to go deep into the east without any scruples, it was simply bold. Zhou Zhe said: "The emptiness of Shangrao's troops has allowed Ouyang Jian to take advantage of the loophole, but this time he doesn't want to run away." The 19th Division and the 57th Brigade of Zhejiang Guangfeng were notified to immediately attack in the direction of Shangrao, and the 66th Brigade of Yingtan was ordered to urgently dispatch, and in order to prevent Ouyang Jian from flowing southward, the 19th Army of Fujian was ordered to dispatch and intercept it in Wuyishan. ”

Zhou Zhe continued to give orders: "Order the 52nd Brigade of the 64th, 65th, and 17th Divisions to use the Jingdezhen and Yingtan lines to pull the net to intercept and prevent Ouyang Jian from escaping in the direction of Poyang Lake." Zhou Zhe's arrangement seemed to be smooth and there was no problem, but where did he think that since Ouyang Jian dared to fight Rao, he had follow-up means, in fact, Ouyang Jian had a bigger intention. After Shangrao was occupied, Xiao Ke and Zhang Shiying commanded their men to loot the property of the enemy army and the money of the Nationalist government. Ouyang Jian in the temporary division headquarters ordered the radio station to be turned on and the radio silence was lifted. The enemy's whereabouts were already known, and it was necessary for Ouyang Jian to know the situation in Su Yubu and Yunshui County.

Soon the news of Su Yu, including Yunshui County, was fed back, Su Yu's actions were impeccable, and Ouyang Jian was very satisfied. The key is that the news of Yunshui County confirmed the original prediction, and sure enough, the 51st Brigade of the 17th Division of the Central Army went out to attack Yunshui County. Ouyang Jian knew in his heart that if the 51st Brigade wanted to occupy Yunshui County, it was basically impossible. The strength of a regiment led by Luo Ronghuan is more than 1,000 people, and the strength of the artillery brigade and logistics regiment, including the military school has reached 4,000 people. Therefore, Ouyang Jian was not worried about Yunshui County, on the contrary, the enemy army did not know the true situation of Yunshui County.

In addition, by using mine warfare, guerrilla warfare, and many other tactics, the enemy could not move an inch, and the 51 Brigade basically did not succeed. Ouyang Jian stared at the map, thinking about his next plan of action. At present, the enemy army already knows that he is in Shangrao, and he will definitely pounce from all directions, and Ouyang Jian is 100% sure of jumping out of the enemy's encirclement, the key is to jump out of the enemy's encirclement, and how to realize his plan in the next step. Suddenly, Ouyang Jian's eyes lit up, and the plan he had been looking forward to for a long time was brewing and ripening in his chest, Ouyang Jian couldn't help but be afraid of his thighs, and several combat staff officers were startled.

"Commander, haha, we're rich," Zhang Shiying and Xiao Ke walked in with the voice. Zhang Shiying also wanted to drum up Ouyang Jiandao: "Okay, I don't want to hear about making a fortune, according to the dark arrow report, the 66th Brigade in Yingtan has been dispatched, and the 57th Brigade of the 19th Division in Zhejiang has also been dispatched." In addition, according to the secret arrow, the enemy's 64th and 65th brigades and the 52nd brigade of the 17th division were pressed over from Yingtan to Jingdezhen. The two of you immediately step up the handling of the seized loot. The seized ammunition was taken away, and the seized weapons were left for the underground party to dispose of. ”

"What to do with military supplies and large quantities of food?" Shook asked. "During the day, try to give all these things to the local people, and the two of you will do it immediately. How many supplies can be handled by the underground party comrades are given priority to them. Xiao Ke, after Zhang Shiying left quickly, Ouyang Jian called Mu Shixiong and said, "Your special combat team will set off immediately, and the target is in the direction of Yingtan." After discovering the enemy army, leave a detachment to monitor the enemy army and report at any time, you take two detachments to Yingtan. Remember that your mission is to collect wooden boats along the Xinjiang River, at least 60 wooden boats that can hold 30 people at a time, and then concentrate the wooden boats at this location? "Understood!"

During the day on this day, Shangrao City ushered in a festive day, the Red Army opened up its food, and also distributed a large number of cloth and daily necessities, which was simply groundbreaking. The people of Shangrao City rushed to tell each other, just like a festival, even more lively than a festival. Just when the people of Shangrao City were dreaming, Ouyang Jian led his troops to leave Shangrao silently and out of the east gate that night, and then went around to the direction of Yingtan, and the people in the city did not notice it at all. The troops marched rapidly, and at about 5 o'clock in the morning, Dabao, who was in charge of monitoring the enemy, sent someone to report that the enemy troops in the direction of Yingtan were about 3 kilometers away from here. Ouyang Jian ordered the troops to hide and take the opportunity to rest.

Soon after the troops were hidden, the enemy appeared, about 30 kilometers from the upper ring city. The officers and men watched the enemy brigade rushing by, and they did not notice it at all. Xiao Ke beside him said: "Division commander, this move is very wonderful, the enemy would never have imagined that we would collide head-on and pass by, how much courage does it take." Zhang Shiying said: "Division commander, jumping out of the enemy's encirclement so easily, the enemy army is probably going crazy." Now that Yingtan is empty, we will take Yingtan in one go! "We don't fight Yingtan, we have another goal!"

Xiao Ke and Zhang Shiying glanced at each other and were confused, and it was inconvenient to ask deeply when they saw Ouyang Jian's unfathomable appearance. After the enemy had passed, the troops continued on the road, swaggering along the main road, leaving the enemy far behind. When the enemy army reached Shangrao, there was still a shadow of the Red Army. After careful searching, it was found that the Red Army was out of Dongcheng, and the commander of the 66th Brigade did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the division commander Zhou Zhe. In the headquarters of the 22nd Division in Jingdezhen, everyone stared at the division commander dumbfounded, not knowing where Ouyang Jian went, and no one dared to guess at this time.

Seeing that the division commander was confused, the chief of staff said: "Ouyang Jian led his troops out of the east gate, it is impossible to enter Zhejiang eastward, in that case, he will encounter the 57th Brigade of the 19th Division." I judge that it is very likely that Ouyang Jian will go south in the direction of Fujian, and this is the safest route. Zhou Zhe nodded and said, "Ouyang Jian only has one way to go south, and to the east is the Ecstasy Array. After ordering the 57th Brigade to reach Shangrao, it will join the 66th Brigade to pursue southward in two ways, left and right. Ordered the Fujian 19th Route Army to intercept on the front line of Wuyi Mountain, I don't believe that Ouyang Jian has wings. In addition, the 52nd Brigade of the 17th Division, the 64th Brigade and the 65th Brigade of the Headquarters were ordered to search in the area from Yingtan to Jingdezhen to prevent Ouyang Jian from escaping in this direction. ”

The enemy made another misjudgment, just when the 66th Brigade and the 57th Brigade were pursuing southward, Ouyang Jian led his troops to approach Yingtan, what is the purpose of Ouyang Jian, see in the next chapter! ”
