Chapter 6 Finally heard the long-lost trumpet
Li Jiansheng returned the salute again, thought about it again, and told Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin, and Cai Zhong: immediately organize the remaining 4,000 people in the department, quickly replenish the guns and ammunition captured from the enemy, and after a quarter of an hour, together with his troops, rushed to the edge of the Xiangjiang River to save the Red 18th Regiment of the Red 6th Division!
Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin, and Cai Zhong saluted together and immediately went back to organize the troops. With a wave of his hand, Li Jiansheng asked Li Zhi to immediately lead the guard regiment to the Chen's back position, Wu Zheng led the first regiment of the special service brigade to follow, and Li Yu led the second special service regiment as a strategic reserve. In Li Jiansheng's memory, the Red 18th Regiment should be facing the enemy at the back of Chen's house right now, so he ordered his headquarters to go there directly. As for these Gui prisoners, they were each guarded by the 2nd Special Service Regiment and the 34th Red Division, and went to the Chenjiabei position with the main force. After calculating the time, Li Jiansheng knew that in a few hours, at noon, the Red 18th Regiment might be wiped out by the Gui Army, which suddenly put its reserves into battle! These troops must rush over as quickly as possible!
After resting and replenishing, the Red 34th Division was quickly lined up neatly in front of Li Jiansheng, and the two division leaders of Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin were also armed to the teeth. The two men were each carrying a newly captured Thomson submachine gun. In fact, when the Central Red Army began the Long March, Chiang Kai-shek had already foreseen the Red Army's breakthrough route and laid four blockade lines. In order to make up for the lack of troops and to weaken the strength of the local warlords, Chiang Kai-shek asked the Hunan army, the Gui army, and the Guangdong army to cooperate with the Central Army to encircle it. Bai Chongxi, a powerful figure in the Gui Army, took advantage of the situation to put forward two demands to Chiang Kai-shek: first, the Gui Army had a small number of troops and demanded that the 44th Division, which participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Central Soviet Region, be rebuilt; The second is to ask the central government to change the clothes of Gui Jun. In order to mobilize the Gui army, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to all two demands. Therefore, the current Gui army is equipped with a new 79 rifle and a Czech machine gun that can be used for rifle bullets, and the squad and platoon leaders are all equipped with submachine guns, which is what the Red Army soldiers often call flower organs. Li Jiansheng's subordinate just now cooperated with the Red 34th Division to attack inside and outside, and completely annihilated the 44th Division of the Gui Army, and completely captured the equipment of the Gui Army, and now it is naturally able to change its outfit.
Li Jiansheng glanced at the two who were loaded with guns and ammunition, and then looked at the long and high-spirited people behind them, smiled, waved his big hand, and the whole army moved.
Just when Li Jiansheng's unit was striding in the direction of Quanzhou, on a small high ground near Gulingtou near Quanzhou, the Red 18th Regiment was struggling to support. The Red 18th Regiment retreated from the Xinwei blocking position this morning. The 1,500-strong Red 18th Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the Xinwei blockade, and there were more than 800 people left when it retreated, and nearly half of the soldiers spilled their blood on the main position of Nanmu Village and the Chenjiabei position in Guanyin Mountain, Xinwei. When they retreated to Gulingtou near Quanzhou, the two regiments of the 24th Division of the Gui Army, which were chasing after them, bit them. The Gui Army is the two main regiments of the 24th Division of the Gui Seventh Army with the title of "Steel Army", although they were heavily hit by the Red 5th Division and the 18th Regiment in the Xinwei Resistance Battle, and suffered heavy casualties, but they were well equipped, and the soldiers had no problem resting and eating, so their physical strength was good. On the contrary, the commanders and fighters of the 18th Red Regiment first fought fiercely with the enemy at the waterwheel, did not close their eyes for four days and four nights, and after arriving at the Xinwei blocking position, they entered the battle almost without rest. When they withdrew to Gulingtou, the soldiers were overtired, hungry, cold, and lacked ammunition, plus there were planes in the sky that kept bombing, and the Gui army surrounded on all sides of the ground kept attacking. Now there are only more than 500 people left in the 18th Regiment, almost all of them are wounded, bullets and grenades have been used up, many bayonets have been bent, and the main leaders of the battalions and companies have been sacrificed. Zeng Chunjian, the seriously wounded regiment commander, was already unconscious, and only Wu Zixiong, the political commissar who was also wounded, crouched on the position with the soldiers, waiting for the last moment of shedding the last drop of blood for Soviet New China.
When Li Zhi led the guard regiment to run forward to Gulingtou, the Gui army was recuperating after the second charge, and was preparing to launch a final charge to completely wipe out the Red Eighteenth Regiment that was holding its position. Li Zhi's subordinates first rushed to Chen's back position, only to see corpses all over the ground. I don't know if the Red 18th Regiment still exists, but when I heard the gunshots nearby, I guessed that the position of the Red 18th Regiment had been transferred, and he who had been following Li Jiansheng for a long time didn't want to think about it, on the one hand, he asked Qin Xiaoyu to contact the commander-in-chief by radio, and on the other hand, he led his troops to continue to follow up.
The two regiments under the command of Wang Zanbin of the 24th Division of the Gui Army were tightly bitten towards the Red 18th Regiment, led by his deputy division commander Wu Huiying. At this time, although these two regiments were not disabled, they also reached the point of breaking bones and muscles. There are only more than 2,300 people left in the two regiments. Wu Huiying, the deputy division commander of the 24th Division of the Gui Army, who led the team to command the pursuit, saw that his unit was well rested, stood up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the red bandits on the opposite side have no strength, let's rush over this round and completely destroy them!" ”
The soldiers of the Gui army cheered.
Wu Huiying waved his hand, and all the remaining Guijun soldiers dispersed and rushed towards the position of the Red 18th Regiment according to tactical movements. Wu Zixiong, the political commissar on the Red Army position, smiled bitterly. Just now, he had already asked the soldiers to count the more than 500 people on the position, and only more than 300 bullets and 16 grenades remained. But despite this, he pushed the two bullets from his pistol and took a missing knife in his hand. He has already planned, these two bullets, kill two enemies, the knife, kill two more, and then die with the enemy! Seeing that the soldiers were ready, after thinking about it, Wu Zixiong said again: Without my order, you are not allowed to shoot, and when the enemy approaches, you will shoot again!
The Gui army rushed into a rage, and when he didn't hear the gunshot, his courage suddenly became bigger, guessing that the red bandits had no bullets, and they were all relieved at the moment, and their pace accelerated a lot. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the position of the Red 18th Regiment, Wu Zixiong's heart sank more and more, and he was about to shoot and prepare to shoot. At this moment, behind this group of Guijun soldiers, a sudden machine gun sound suddenly sounded! Accompanied by the sound of machine guns, it was the long-lost sound of military bugles!
It's not another one, but it is the Li Zhi guard regiment that arrived first, and the Wu Zheng spy regiment that converged later! Two people and two troops, arrived almost synchronously. Li Zhi's department went first and took a bit of a wrong road, so he arrived with Wu Zheng's department. As soon as the two old guys were in place, seeing that the Red 18th Regiment was in danger, the troops did not rest, and immediately went into battle! In just one moment, the two regiments of the unsuspecting Gui Army immediately fell. Wu Huiying was also shot in the head by Li Zhi.
