Before the fierce battle broke out, Ouyang Jian received a report from the reconnaissance force that the enemy cavalry appeared and was about to enter the mouth of the Moon Valley. "Deputy Commander Su, Chief of Staff Luo, the battle is commanded by the two of you." Seeing Ouyang Jian change into a camouflage uniform, and the guard pony standing beside him with two sniper rifles on his back, Su Yu understood what was going on and said, "Commander, the front is too dangerous, and you can't get involved as the supreme commander." "Commander, I have an opinion about you!" Luo Ronghuan did not relent. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "I understand the mood of the two of you, I went to the front to let you let go of your hands and feet to command the battle." In addition, there are no snipers in the enemy army, and there are no problems with my safety. In addition, the 1st Cavalry Division has no artillery, and if I am not sure, I will not go to the front. ”

The two of them knew that Ouyang Swordsman was itching, and there was no way to stop it. Su Yu especially told the pony to ensure the safety of the legion leader, and before leaving, Ouyang Jian said: "Once the enemy cavalry is blocked, it will definitely launch a crazy attack." The enemy cavalry must not be allowed to wake up, and immediately after the second attack of the enemy troops, they will immediately launch an attack on all fronts, according to the sound of my guns. And the time should be just right, we will rush down condescendingly, the enemy cavalry will be difficult to parry, remember to be fast. Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan nodded.

Ouyang Jian changed his camouflage degree and the guard pony put on camouflage respectively, and went straight to the front line out of the command headquarters. Ouyang Jian had already been optimistic about a sniper position in advance, this sniper point was no more than 300 meters away from the upcoming enemy position, and the distance of a total of 1,000 meters to the left and right was within Ouyang Jian's sniper range. Ouyang Jian's goal was clear, that is, to strike at the enemy's command system. Not long after the two men hid at the sniper point, the enemy cavalry appeared in the spearhead. The drizzle was still falling, and looking at the surging river on the opposite side, Ouyang Jian knew that the first division of the cavalry would not be able to run.

After the battle began, as Ouyang Jian judged, the arrogant enemy cavalry dispatched a regiment to launch an attack, which was unexpectedly effectively intercepted. The cavalry dealt with the infantry in the area of a flat river, and because the firepower of the infantry was weak during this period, it was generally difficult for the infantry to defend against the fierce impact of the cavalry. But where did the enemy cavalry expect that they had encountered an extraordinary opponent. When the enemy launched the first round of attacks, Ouyang Jian had already seen clearly the location of the headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Division. The headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Division was located about 400 meters in front of the left, and this distance was a hand-held pinch for Ouyang Jian's superb archery.

The sniper point has a very wide field of vision, and the vegetation on the mountain ridge is very lush, but the trees are sparse and the dense weeds play a good role in concealment, plus the enemy did not expect an ambush on the mountain at all. The brigade commander Zhang Huatang ordered the second round of assault and threw in two regiments. Zhang Huatang brandished his saber and ordered the troops to attack. Seeing that his subordinates began to rush and kill, Zhang Huatang was satisfied and inserted the saber into the knife magazine, at this time Ouyang Jian's gun rang out, and a bullet accurately hit his right shoulder, and inertia made him fall off the horse.

In fact, Ouyang Jian's subordinates showed mercy and did not want to take Zhang Huatang's life, not to mention what the scene was chaotic into. Ouyang Jian immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and fired continuously, and the war horse on which Guan Shuren, the commander of the first cavalry division, was shot in the head, only to see the war horse suddenly jump up and scream loudly, and in an instant, Guan Shuren was lifted off the war horse, and the war horse ran dozens of meters fast and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding generals were shot one after another. The sound of the guns was the order, and suddenly the mortars and grenadiers began to bombard, the shells exploded in the enemy cavalry formation, and with the loud sound of the charge horn, a large number of Red Army soldiers appeared on the mountain ridge, rushing down the mountain.

The enemy camp was in disarray, and the confusion in the rear affected the cavalry charging at the front. Those who rushed in front didn't know what was going on behind, and they still rushed to kill bravely. The cavalry, which was dragging behind, saw a large number of Red troops appearing on the mountain ridge, and immediately reined in their horses and did not know what to do. The cavalry in the rear was in disarray. The enemy generals gathered together, creating conditions for Ouyang Jian to kill. Ouyang Jian wanted to let this cavalry unit be used for his own use, so almost all the bullets hit non-vital parts, some generals were shot in the legs, some were shot in the shoulder, and some were shot in the arms.

This frightened the generals, some of them fled backwards, some jumped off their horses to hide, and some brandished sabers to order their subordinates to resist. The enemy army lost effective command and became a mess, some resisted, some fled, and some did not know what to do. The division commander Guan Shuren was knocked unconscious as soon as he got off his horse, and the guards immediately formed a circle to protect him. Zhu Changde, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, reacted quickly, and immediately drew his saber and ordered his subordinates to cover the retreat of the division commander. But as soon as his saber was swung up, a bullet hit his shoulder accurately and he dismounted.

The soldiers rushed down the mountain, and Ouyang Jian began to provide support to the rushing soldiers, and it can be said that his spear worked wonders. I have to admit that the cavalry of the Northwest Army fought very bravely in individual combat, and many enemy cavalry stubbornly resisted, and brutal hand-to-hand combat began to be staged. However, the cavalry lost its speed of impact and its combat power was greatly reduced. Ouyang Jian saw a burly northwest man wielding a saber, and he was very strong in the army, so he raised his hand and shot the big man was hit in the shoulder and fell off his horse, and in less than 5 minutes, the fierce enemy cavalry was killed by Ouyang Jian.

Such a terrifying burst of fire frightened the enemy troops, but the morale of the Red Army soldiers was greatly boosted. At this time, many enemy cavalry saw that the general trend had gone and began to dismount and surrender, which caused a chain reaction, and the number of cavalry surrendered gradually increased. Zhang Shiying also led his troops to rush over from the southeast valley mouth, and the battlefield began to shift to the northwest. Seeing this scene, Ouyang Jian stood up from his hiding place, and Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan appeared beside him. "Commander, the guns in the northeast are dense, and it seems that Zhao Liang's pockets are tight." Luo Ronghuan said happily.

"Report! Division Commander Zhao called, and the enemy cavalry was successfully intercepted and could not escape," a combat staff officer reported with joy. "Deputy Commander Su, the enemy army has become a strong crossbow, send a prisoner to send a letter to the enemy division commander to urge him to surrender. Tell them clearly, otherwise the officers of the unit will be killed one by one. In addition, tell the enemy division commander that it is easy to take his life, go to the front, and I will give the enemy some strength. "Zhao Liang successfully intercepted in the northwest direction, and when Ouyang Jian led his troops to the northwest valley mouth, the gunfire became sparse, and it was obvious that the enemy army stopped attacking.

Zhao Liang led his troops to ambush on the other side of the river on the right, and when the enemy cavalry brigade passed, Zhao Liang ordered his troops to quickly cross the river. There was no time to dig the blocking position, the soldiers arranged machine gun positions on the spot, and some of the soldiers immediately drove wooden stakes to wrap ropes. While the soldiers were busy and nervous, gunfire was already blaring out in front of them. In less than an hour, a long rope was constructed. After another hour, the enemy began to flee in confusion. The enemy fled with a more devastating blow than an attack, and was unprepared.

About two-thirds of the cavalry was compressed in an area of less than half a kilometer, and Ouyang Jian ordered to stop the attack. Su Yu ordered a captured company commander to send a letter to Guan Shuren, urging him to surrender. At this time, Guan Shuren and the generals were lying in a wet grass, and he was covered in dirty mud and looked extremely embarrassed. The right shoulder was dislocated and dropped to the chest with a strap. Zhang Huatang and Zhu Changde were also hanging on their arms, and the white bandages wrapped in blood were soaked with rainwater, and the two of them were also wet up and down, and the whole child was a mud monkey.

The generals next to him were not much better, some were shot in the arm, and some were shot in the legs, which can be described as scarred. "Report to the divisional seat, the Red Army stops attacking." "Master, Ouyang Jian's troops really live up to their reputation and are strong in combat, it seems that Ouyang Jian has already targeted us." Zhang Huatang was excited and the wound was tearing. "Brothers, blame me for being careless, I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to actually set up an ambush in Moon Valley, and actually trapped us with an inconspicuous rope, such an opponent is too terrifying."

"Division, there are sharpshooters in the Red Army, it seems that the men are merciful, otherwise we may all be killed." As soon as Zhu Changde's words fell, a gunshot rang out, and I saw that the military hat of a combat staff officer was knocked off, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly lay on the ground again. "Division, there is a sniper in the direction of 10 o'clock in front of the left, about 500 meters away." Everyone turned pale with fright when they heard this. "Master, let's quickly change into soldier clothes!" The chief of staff suggested. "Look, the Red Army has sent someone."

I saw a captured company commander come to the front with a gray face and said, "Report to the division commander, this is a letter from Ouyang Jian to you." Guan Shuren hesitated for a moment and took the letter to check. Seeing Biguan Shuren, he closed his eyes and was silent for a long time: "Everyone, you may not know that our heavy casualties are Ouyang Jian's masterpieces. It is rumored that he did not miss a shot at a distance of 500, and now it can be confirmed. Seeing that the teacher wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Huatang said: "The brothers are all from the northwest, we don't need to work here, the teacher decides, we listen to you!" "Commander, we listen to you!" The generals completely lost their will to fight.

At this point, there is no other way out, the key is that the subordinates have been discouraged, there is no point in resisting, and Guan Shuren ordered surrender in a decadent manner. Soon, Ouyang Jian appeared in front of Guan Shuren in a bells and whistles military uniform and a sniper rifle in his hand. Needless to say, this is not a legend but a fact, many officers saw Ouyang Jian's fierce appearance, and they were so frightened that their legs were weak and they sat on the ground one after another. "Let me introduce myself, I am Ouyang Jian, the commander of the 5th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army." "The contemptible person is Guan Shuren, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, and the generals of the defeated army will hear about it." Zhang Huatang and Zhu Changde also signed up for their own numbers.

"Division Commander Guan, I know the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Northwest Army, but you have chosen the wrong opponent in the wrong place and at the wrong time. I welcome the fact that Division Commander Guan can be sympathetic to the lives of his subordinates and lead his troops to surrender, and I would like to rest assured that our Red Army treats prisoners preferentially. Ouyang Jian then ordered to immediately treat the captured and wounded soldiers and bury the dead bodies of the enemy soldiers on the spot. According to statistics, 151 soldiers were killed and more than 200 wounded in this battle, and the strength of the cavalry of the Northwest Army really deserved its name.

After the battle began, the telegram had flown to Nanchang, and He Yingqin was furious when he heard this, and ordered the 22nd and 9th Divisions to outflank from the north, and the 54th and 43rd Divisions from the east to the Moon Valley. In addition, He Yingqin ordered the troops handed over in Jiangxi and Hunan, the 23rd Division of the 8th Army and the 25th and 26th Divisions of the 9th Army as reserve divisions, to enter Jiangxi as soon as possible, and surround Ouyang Jiansuo's headquarters from the west. The enemy army was annoyed and angry, and concentrated 7 divisions to outflank Ouyang Jian. He Yingqin thinks that the First Cavalry Division is the elite of the Northwest Army, and Ouyang Jian wants to eat the First Cavalry Division in one go, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Jian said to the generals: "Everyone, the captured cavalry of the Northwest Army is our treasure, and we must escort them safely to the base area." The telegram ordered Han Chu to dispatch a regiment to meet in the southern area of Xiushui, Zhao Liang! "Here!" "Your department is responsible for escorting the prisoners to the base area, and your retreat route is ・・・・・・." Ouyang Jian continued: "In order to cover the safe withdrawal of the 17th Division to the base area, I decided that the 13th and 15th Divisions would go west to feint and attack Xinyu to attract the attention of the enemy. The soldiers were quick and began to move an hour later. ”

The rain still had no intention of stopping, and Ouyang Jian shook hands with Zhao Liang to say goodbye. Zhao Liang then led the 17th Division to escort a large number of prisoners of war and wounded on the road, and the 17th Division disappeared into the rain curtain, and the troops began to move westward. Ascending the mountain range on the west side, Ouyang Jian looked back, and at this time, the Moon Valley in the rain curtain had returned to its former tranquility, and the rain in the sky washed away the traces of the battle. The only marker left in the Valley of the Moon was the graves of fallen soldiers on both sides, as if pouring out something.

In the evening, a vanguard of the 43rd Division rushed to the Valley of the Moon, and there was no scene of battle at all. The commander of the enemy's vanguard looked at the grave in silence. "Brigade seat, Ouyang Jian is too terrifying, he wiped out the First Cavalry Division in less than a day. According to the Red Army's escape route was to the west, whether we pursued. "Stupid, you have a few heads, if Ouyang Jian shoots back, our brigade will not have enough troops for Ouyang Jian's teeth. Immediately send a report to the division headquarters, our division reached the nameless valley and the Red Army fled westward, and the 1st Cavalry Division was finished. ”

Ouyang Jian led his troops to point dragonflies on the east side of Xinyu, but he did not attack Xinyu at all. The troops swaggered around the south of Xinyu and advanced southward, and in order to cover the 17th Division's safe arrival at the base area, Ouyang Jian had to expose his whereabouts. Five days later, when Ouyang Jian was dealing with the enemy, he received a telegram from the 17th Division, and the division successfully arrived in Xiushui County. After receiving the telegram, Ouyang Jian immediately ordered the troops to conceal their whereabouts, and suddenly the two divisions disappeared from the enemy's sight.
