Su Yu led the Red 9th Division into Hunan from the direction of Xiushui in Jiangxi, and then waved his troops into Changsha County, and captured Changsha County with great speed, and then threatened the security of Changsha. He Yingqin, who was sitting in Wuhan, was shocked and immediately organized troops to encircle and suppress it, and immediately the enemy army rushed to Changsha County from all directions. Su Yu eliminated a security regiment in the county town of Changsha and publicly sentenced the chief evildoer to be shot, with the intention of causing a sensation. On the night of three days after the capture of Changsha County, Su Yu led his troops to quietly march westward.

The troops passed by an outflanked enemy force, and circled around the south side of Changsha and then divided their troops, and the three regiments fought in three ways to the northeast. At present, the strength of one regiment of the Red 9th Division is close to 2,000 men, and the strength of three regiments is about 6,000, so it is not convenient for large units to fight together. As for the division of troops not far apart, Su Yu led the division headquarters and a regiment in the center, and the 2nd and 3rd regiments were left and right, with an interval of about 10 kilometers.

Since Su Yu led his troops into Hunan, they swaggered so that others would not know. After moving to Changsha, Su Yu learned through the corps headquarters that the main Red Army had won a great victory in the base area and annihilated two integrated divisions of the enemy. At the same time, it was also learned that two enemy divisions had failed to launch an attack on Yunshui County. Su Yu believed that the task of attracting enemy targets had been accomplished, so he made preparations to withdraw to the base area. However, Su Yu did not expect that the commander of the Ouyang Army called to analyze: the enemy army was unwilling to lose, and it was estimated that the second large-scale encirclement and suppression would be launched in late March and early April.

Ouyang Jian ordered: The Red 9th Division continued to stay in Hunan and launched guerrilla operations to find fighters for the purpose of attracting enemy troops. It's mid-February, and the strong smell of the New Year has not yet dissipated. During this period, Su Yu led his troops to capture the village, captured 3 county seats, 6 market towns, and eliminated 4 security regiments and many landlords' armed forces. The enemy's three divisions surrounded and intercepted to no avail, but were dragged to exhaustion. Years ago, the enemy army stopped encirclement and suppression, and Su Yu led his troops to rest in a small town for a few days.

On this day, Su Yu held a military meeting at the division headquarters, and officers above the battalion level did it. Division Commander Han Chu first analyzed the enemy situation, and then asked Deputy Army Commander Su Yu to speak. Su Yu looked around at the crowd: "The enemy army will soon carry out the second large-scale encirclement and suppression of our central base area, and the corps commander ordered our troops to continue to stay in Hunan to attract enemy troops. In order to strike hard at the enemy, I decided to fight a big battle, and now the opportunity has come. According to the report of the dark arrow, the enemy's provisional 18th Independent Brigade arrived at Dongyuemiao Town during the day today.

The provisional 18th Brigade is composed of security regiments and landlords' armed forces, and is at best a rabble. The division had to stay in Dongyuemiao Town for a day late, which created the conditions for us to annihilate the brigade. I decided to concentrate my forces and eat this integrated brigade with a long-distance attack. ”

Su Yu continued: "According to the report of the dark arrow, the enemy's temporary 18th Brigade has a strength of 3,500 people, and it is ready to go to Changsha to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the base area. The difficulties before us now are: First, this place is 80 kilometers away from Dongyuemiao Town, and we must take a long night to make a long-distance attack, so we must rush to Dongyuemiao Town in the morning and launch an attack immediately. Second, Dongyuemiao Town was about 30 kilometers away from Yiyang, where the enemy's 8th Division was stationed. Therefore, I have decided to encircle and annihilate the 18th Independent Brigade, and we must end the battle within four hours. "Have faith!" Everyone replied loudly.

Perhaps because of the frequent guerrilla warfare, everyone's hands have long been itchy. "Very good, it's 5 p.m., and we'll leave in an hour." When the officers and men heard that a reorganized brigade of the enemy army had been encircled and annihilated, they were immediately excited and their desire for war was high. An hour later, the troops set out in two columns. In the dark, the troops climbed mountains and waded through rivers and arrived at the south side of Dongyuemiao Town at 4 o'clock in the morning. According to the report of the reconnaissance detachment, the enemy troops were still sleeping heavily in the town and were very laxly guarded. Without any hesitation, Su Yu immediately deployed three regiments to surround Dongyue Miao Town.

An hour later, the battle began, and the Red Army soldiers descended from the mountains and launched a mercury-like attack. In Dongyuemiao Town, the commander of the 18th Brigade of the enemy's provisional formation was sleeping soundly with a local kiln sister in his arms, and the fierce gunfire woke this guy from his sweet sleep. Just when this guy was stupid, a subordinate knocked on the door, and there was no time to care about such an embarrassing scene. "It was reported that a large number of Red Army troops had appeared outside the town, and they launched a fierce attack." The big fat brigade commander was frightened, and put on his clothes, and at this time the gunfire outside was more violent, and the shouting of killing could already be heard.

The big fat brigade commander didn't have time to button his shirt, grabbed the armed belt and rushed out of the house with his arms open. At this time, he bumped into a subordinate head-on, "Report, the Red Army has tens of thousands of people and has entered the town." "Resist it for me, and immediately send someone to report to the rescue!" The big fat brigade commander was hoarse, but to no avail. His guards resisted for only half an hour, and the Red Army soldiers rushed into the courtyard. A few grenades flew into the room where the big fat brigade commander was, and he died in the smoke of the explosion.

The battle ended in less than two hours, and Su Yu came to the enemy brigade headquarters, where he saw the big fat brigade commander lying there with a black face, his two eyes wide and dead. This guy probably couldn't figure out why the Red Army was here. "Report to the deputy commander, what to do with the prisoners?" Division Commander Han Chu asked. "Immediately dismissed, where did they come from, let them go back!" After the division commander Han Chu left, an operational staff officer came in to report: "Deputy corps commander, an underground party comrade has asked to see you." After a while, a dark-faced man walked in.

The other party reported his name and claimed to be the head of the local underground party. If someone dares to report to his home, he is undoubtedly his comrade. "Comrade, according to organizational discipline you should not come to see me." Comrade, I also have no choice, I am in charge of leading a guerrilla detachment of about 50 people. At the moment we have no weapons and ammunition, only broadswords and spears, and I ask you to integrate this guerrilla force. Su Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you, where are the guerrillas?" "Be active in the western part of town!"

The troops quickly withdrew from Dongyuemiao Town, and on the way, the division commander Han Chu asked in confusion: "Deputy Commander, why are we going west?" "We're heading west to get rid of the enemy!" "But we swaggered westward, didn't we tell the enemy clearly?" Su Yu smiled: "Of course the enemy is not a fool, we have eaten a reorganized brigade of the enemy army, and the enemy army will definitely think that we will retreat to the east." Even if we go west, the enemy will think that we are deliberately set up in a maze array. Therefore, the enemy will set up an ambush and intercept according to our retreat route, which is called striking the east and attacking the east. ”

"Deputy Commander, I am not in vain, this is also called true and false, false and real, so that the enemy is confused." Sure enough, the enemy did not follow the pursuit, but set up an ambush and interception in the east. On the way to the west, the guerrilla force active in the west joined smoothly, and their joining was like a tiger's wings, after all, they were familiar with the local terrain, which made the troops more flexible and mobile to fight. When the enemy army came to his senses, Su Yu led his troops to rest in the west for 5 days.

Su Yu led his troops to punch and kick in central Hunan, showing the prestige of the Red Army. Originally, the common people of Hunan were devoted to the Red Army, and many young people asked to join the Red Army. Since Su Yu was in the middle of the campaign, he could not blindly expand the troops. However, the enthusiasm for joining the Red Army could not be dampened, so Su Yu thought of a way to do so. Those young people who volunteered to join the Red Army were given travel expenses to go to the Jiujiang base area. Su Yu's move played an invisibly role in promoting the great development of the Red Army in the future.

Around mid-March, the enemy requisitioned six divisions to encircle and suppress them with all their might. After Ouyang Jian learned about the situation, he believed that Su Yu had achieved the purpose of the battle, so he ordered Su Yu to lead his troops to withdraw to the base area to rest. In late March, Su Yu led his troops into Jiangxi and returned to Xiushui County, and Zhang Shiying, who was stationed in Xiushui County, made a lot of preparations for the triumphant return of the conquest troops. As soon as they met, Zhang Shiying said: "Deputy Commander, you are fighting outside, and you can envy me with ease." When you take care of me, don't always be eccentric. ”

Su Yu said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, the decision of the army commander is the decision of the army commander, and you should find the army commander if you want to go through the back door." "How dare I mention it in front of the Legion Commander! I hope Brother Su has a lot of good words. "The commander of the corps has always been thoughtful, and what kind of troops to use to fight what kind of battle have been carefully considered. Brother Zhang, don't worry, I estimate that I will let you go on the expedition soon. "Really!" "Report, call from the Legion Headquarters!" As soon as Zhang Shiying's voice fell, an operational staff officer came in to report. Su Yu took the telegram and reported: "Han Chu, the corps commander ordered your 9th Division to take over the defense of the 15th Division, and the 15th Division should be transferred back to Yunshui County. ”

"Deputy Commander Su, no wonder you can sit in the position of deputy commander of the regiment, it really deserves its reputation twice, it seems that there are military operations!" Zhang Shiying was overjoyed when he heard this. Su Yu saw Han Chu depressed and said: "Commander Han, the commander of the corps has arranged very thoughtfully, your department has been fighting for more than two months, and you need to rest." The commander of the regiment asked me to return to Yunshui County quickly, and it seemed that the encirclement and suppression of the enemy army was about to begin. Zhang Shiying and Han Chu handed over the defense and did not say anything, and soon Su Yu and Zhang Shiying and their subordinates returned to Yunshui County. On the way, Zhang Shiying was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and she danced happily.

The war horses walked side by side, and Zhang Shiying said: "Deputy Commander, you have been fighting for the past few months, but you have suffocated me. Watching you eat and drink spicy food, do you think I can not be greedy? "Brother Zhang, the task of the corps commander to let you guard Xiushui County is equally arduous, and the enemy does not dare to sneak attack in this direction, it is we who have deployed heavy troops in this direction." "Deputy Commander, what do you think we will do next?" ", I'm not an immortal, how can I know!"

"It is said that you can guess the mind of the army commander, why sell it! "I don't know much about the enemy now, and I really can't guess the intentions of the corps commander. However, how to support the main force of the Red Army in the operation is still our main task. The enemy army tried to capture the county seat of Yunshui, but the result was a nose of ashes. I estimate that the enemy will adopt blockade tactics in the next step, and I am afraid that the corps commander has already come up with a countermeasure, and letting your division withdraw to Yunshui County is to prepare for an attack. "yes, it's impossible to transfer us back for no reason."

A new battle is called, and the two of them have a passion on their faces that they are eager to fight. The fire of war has tempered them into fearless warriors, and only under the baptism of war, under the horn of conquest, can passion burst out!
