Chapter 52: A Battle of Life and Death for the Army

Li Jiansheng's words are poisonous enough!

Several division commanders couldn't stand it, so they went down to the regiment one by one and played the words of the regiment commander: "His grandmother, if your regiment lets go of an enemy, the number of our division will be left to the enemy, and your head will be given to Zhang Liangji as a night pot!" This angered those regimental commanders, and they also went down to the battalion one by one to go to the company. As a result, Li Jiansheng's two cursed words made the two elite troops scream, and one by one they hurried to the ambush position, and the mines that were planted with mines, the grenades that were twisted with grenades, and the elements that were adjusted for heavy machine gun firing were adjusted in an orderly manner, and as for the sniper troops, they chose favorable terrain and terrain to hide. Everything is going according to plan!

After all these arrangements were made, Li Jiansheng specially ordered the cavalry company, the guard regiment, and the special service regiment to turn around from the main road, and be sure to pass the main road in the middle of the ambush circle. After the large army passed, he walked again with the guard company to see that the situation was similar to the one he had speculated in his heart, and then he stopped. Back at the ambush position on the hill, the fighters were digging trenches on the spot with the help of sappers. Soil work was vigorously promoted and developed by Li Jiansheng's troops as early as in the base areas, and all the soldiers had a hand. And these soldiers are all veterans brought out by Li Jiansheng, and it is common to engage in these, so it is not very difficult to dig them up at this time. Li Zhi and a soldier of the guard regiment were building a bunker according to the trench, which was for the regiment commander. Li Jiansheng glanced at it and nodded secretly. Find Zeng Zhongsheng and others to see the battle plan. Zeng Zhongsheng took the battle plan, position layout, and firepower configuration map made by the staff office, and Li Jiansheng looked at it carefully, and felt that it was okay, but he still put forward two points: First, light and heavy machine guns should be used in a concentrated manner, especially after the enemy's 16th Division entered the ambush circle, and intercepted the enemy's 48th Regiment of the 16th Red Division and the 57th Regiment of the 19th Red Division. Therefore, this required the two regiments to observe the terrain in advance, adjust the shooting elements, and then withdraw and ambush, and wait for the enemy's entire army to come in, and then directly rush to the position, and make use of the terrain that had already been observed to arrange the battle. Second, in order to ensure the results of the battle, the concealed positions of the sniper units should not be more than 60 meters away from the road, so as to ensure that the enemy officers and heavy firefighters can be killed at the first time. And the artillery battalion must also move forward and resolutely prevent the enemy from having the possibility of gathering. Whenever the enemy closes the slightest, immediately blast it away. Zeng Zhongsheng and the comrades of the General Staff Office revised them one by one, and then handed them to Li Jiansheng for approval. Li Jiansheng signed it, asked the password to be sent to Luo Ronghuan to read, and simultaneously showed it to the division-level commanders of the two divisions. In addition to the several corps commanders present, the divisional-level commanders of the two divisions, the regimental-level commanders of the six regiments, and the commanders of the units directly under the regiments all attended.

Looking at the divisions and regiment commanders sitting on the ground in the courtyard, Li Jiansheng was a little in a trance. In the original base areas, the battles fought by the troops led by themselves were not one or two, and there were victories and defeats, but each time there were more victories and fewer defeats, and the victories were big victories and small defeats. On the road of the Long March, his troops won victories one after another because of sudden attacks. This time, it's up to you again. In the past, most of the battles were about the life and death of themselves and their troops, but this battle is different, if you lose, your own army will be surrounded by heavy enemy troops, and the situation will be very bad. In other words, this battle is different from all the previous battles of our own, and this time we have no way out. Therefore, in this battle today, there is no room for error! But he is really a dangerous move! It's just that if we don't do this move, we can't repel the enemy at all, we can only be chased by the enemy! In other words, even if the soldiers are dangerous, we must still do it. Of course, after careful calculation, this risk, although dangerous, is worth a fight! What's more, I have thought about my thoughts and retreats, what are you afraid of? Hit! It's just that this ambush of the 16th Hunan Division is a real big battle, and the impact on both the enemy and us is profound, so in this battle, we can't be in a hurry or panic, and we must think about what is left behind.

Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng once again silently recalled the ambush site in the ravine of Boyang Dupo.

Dupo is a place name, and it was called Dupo Township in later generations. Now it is connected with Boyang. As early as the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, Dupo built Dupo Bazhai. It has a history of more than 600 years. Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, a total of two large-scale military operations have been launched against the Dong region. One is to send the general Tang He to attack the "Feishan Miao" (actually Feishan Dong) and break through the Feishan. Second, he still sent the general Tang He to suppress Wu Mian's uprising. After the breaking of the flying mountain, the Dong people poured cattle in the area of Jiangkou Township, Passage County, and determined the direction of migration. It was decided to migrate upstream along the river, one of which was to the areas of Boyang, Dupo and Yatunbao in the passage area; The other way migrated to Hongzhou, Zhongchao, Deshun and Shuikou in Liping, Guizhou. Moved to Boyang, Dupo all the way, according to legend, there are three into Shangxiang (may be now Huangzhai, Shangxiang and other villages) Bagong into Bazhai (Dupo Village, Papaya Village, Shrimp Group Village, Diping Village, Shangyan Village, Jinkeng Village, Luo Tuan Village, Meng Chong Village) said, the name of Dupo Eight Villages comes from this. In addition, after the failure of Wu Mian's uprising, some Dong people in Liping Cave, Zhaoxing, Shangzhong, Long'e, and Shuikou migrated to Dupo Bazhai one after another, and since then, Dupo Bazhai has taken shape and gradually prospered, forming the Dupo Bazhai section. The largest joint payment in the history of the Dong nationality - the late Ming Dynasty 99 public joint funds discussed the opening of the surname, and the first gold of Dupo Village participated in this grand meeting on behalf of the Dupo Bazhai District. After liberation, the people's government established Dupo Township on the basis of Dupo Bazhai.

Dupo Township is located in a big mountain that spans 5 counties of Hunan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, and people call it "the slope of the three provinces". Historically, the Dong people in this region intermarried, made friends, and visited each other, and there were no restrictions on provincial or county borders. The five counties are the passage of Hunan, the Liping and Congjiang of Guizhou, and the Sanjiang and Longsheng of Guangxi.

And right now, his ambush is located in this Dupo Township, and it is on this "Three Provinces Slope"! After thinking about it carefully and confirming that it was correct, Li Jiansheng began to speak. Of course, the opening sentence is still a question: "Everyone has seen the terrain, do you have any opinion on setting up an ambush here?" ”

The cadres shouted in unison, no opinion.
