In the middle of the night, a group quietly withdrew to the lake. On the dark lake, Su Yu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the shore with a smile, feeling very proud. "Deputy division commander, the enemy army will find out that Duchang County is an empty city tomorrow morning, and I don't know how to feel." The head of the regiment, Han Chu, said happily. "The enemy did not blindly attack, thinking that we would retreat from the lake. However, the enemy could not imagine that only one of our regiments was swaggering and deceiving, and there was no fanfare and deception, which played a role in confusing the enemy, which was the reason why the division commander asked us to fight a battle in Duchang County, and our task was to cover the division commander's surprise troops. ”

"Deputy Division Commander, where is our next goal?" "Going south, I am going to hit him behind the back of the 17th Brigade of the 52nd Division of the Central Army, so that the enemy army will be completely confused. I estimate that the 52nd Brigade will speed up, but his logistics troops will fall behind, and if we are lucky, we will attack his logistics troops! Su Yu keenly caught the fighter, and his military talent revealed the tip of the iceberg. The fleet went south and then sailed southeast along the course of Poyang Lake, and the next morning, Su Yu led his troops to land at so-and-so.

Not to mention Lu Sheng's expression when he found that Duchang County was empty on the second day, as for how he reported the results to the division headquarters and how to show his merits, it was expected. At noon that day, in a forest near the south of Yushan Town on the west side of Jingdezhen, according to a report from the reconnaissance unit, a battalion of the newly formed brigade of the 22nd Division (formerly the 12th Brigade of the Jiangxi Army) was stationed in Yushan Town to guard the troops. Ouyang Jian said to Xiao Ke and Zhang Shiying: "I decided to take Yushan Town tonight, eat this battalion, and then we put on a posture of attacking Jingdezhen, the purpose is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and continue to mobilize the enemy army!" I'm going to exhaust them. ”

That night, Xiao Ke led his troops in the north and Zhang Shiying led his troops in the south, attacking from north to south, and took Yushan Town in less than two hours, cleanly and completely annihilating a battalion of the newly formed brigade. Ouyang Jian ordered the prisoners to be dismissed, and there was no way but to do so. After dawn, Ouyang Jian ordered to advance to Jingdezhen, and the troops took the main road and swaggered towards Jingdezhen to attack. At the headquarters of the 22nd Division of the Central Army in Jingdezhen, division commander Zhou Zhe was in a good mood, as he expected, Ouyang Jian withdrew to the west bank of Poyang Lake, achieving the purpose of this attack. The battle table reported to the Nanjing Military Commission reads: Ouyang Jian, under the encirclement and suppression of our three-way army, fled to Yunyun on the west bank of Poyang Lake in a hurry.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhe ordered the 64th Brigade, 65th Brigade, and 52nd Brigade to search along the coast to prevent Ouyang Jian from invading again. Just when he was at ease, his subordinates panicked and reported that a large number of Red Army troops had appeared in the west of the city. Zhou Zhe was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately called to order the newly formed brigade to enter combat preparations, and at the same time ordered the guard regiment to follow him to the west gate to check the deployment. Ascending the city gate, Zhou Zhe raised his binoculars to peep, and if he didn't look at it, he was startled by it, and sure enough, he saw a large number of Red Army troops ambushing in the grass ahead. At this time, a shot rang out from the opposite side, and I saw a tall staff officer next to him fall to the ground with a bang, and all the people were so frightened that they lay on the city wall.

Zhou Zhe lay on the ground and took a look, and found that the staff officer who was hit was shot in the brain, and blood was gushing out of his forehead, and the tragic scene was very terrifying. "Division, the Red Army has shooters, let's go down for your safety." "Immediately find out the shooters of the Red Army and destroy them on the spot with mortars for me!" Zhou Zhe was angry.

Early in the morning, the troops arrived on the west side of Jingdezhen, and Ouyang Jian ordered the special combat team to go out of the ambush and use point kills to deter the enemy. It was also the bad luck of this combat staff officer, Dabao found a group of officers on the city wall, so he locked on a big officer. Locked onto the target, a shot hit, frightened the officers into disarray.

Zhou Zhe was embarrassed and was supported by his subordinates to get off the city wall, and angrily reprimanded: "What's going on? Isn't Ouyang Jian in Duchang County? How did it end up here? It's so hard that he's a heavenly soldier! The crowd was speechless. Division, Ouyang Jian obviously saw our intentions, he left part of his troops to hold on to Duchang County and disguised himself as a large army to attract us to the bait, and his main force secretly went north, intending to attack Jingdezhen. The new brigade was cold and had low combat effectiveness, so Ouyang Jian aimed at us. "Chief of Staff Analysis." Order the 17th Brigade of the 52nd Division to be stationed in Duchang County, and order the 64th and 65th Brigades to return to Jingdezhen as soon as possible, I want to strangle Ouyang Jian here! Zhou Zhe was furious.

At this time, the commander of the newly formed brigade ran over in a panic and reported: "Report to the division, the Red Army outside the city must be the main force of Ouyang Jian." One of my battalions was eaten last night in the town of Yushan, and the soldiers who fled back reported that the Red Army had several thousand men? "The new brigade commander exaggerated and deepened Zhou Zhe's fear." The troops were ordered to strengthen the defense and be sure to withstand the attack of the Red Army. "But in one day, the Red Army did not launch an attack, but used cold gun tactics, resulting in the continuous death of soldiers on the city walls.

As night fell, Ouyang Jian ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions, and the target rushed to Shangrao. In fact, throughout the day, except for the horrific shooting by the special combat team, almost all the troops were asleep, and the enemy troops in the city did not know the truth, or were highly nervous, and did not dare to act rashly. After dark, the Red Army soldiers were in good spirits and disappeared into the night. Zhou Zhe was sluggish after dawn, and he barely had much rest last night. Breakfast was set on the table without appetite, and the Red Army was ready to trigger it, which made his nerves highly tense, especially the sharpshooters of the Red Army.

"Report to the division, the Red Army suddenly disappeared and its whereabouts are unknown!" The chief of staff was pleasantly surprised. Zhou Zhe immediately had the spirit to land on the ground with a stone in his heart: "Ouyang Jian is here to demonstrate to me, he has no intention of attacking the city at all." Ouyang Jian must have received the news of the return of the 64th and 65th brigades, and led his troops to flee westward. The 64th and 65th Brigades were ordered to advance directly to the north and eliminate Ouyang Jian on the eastern shore of Poyang Lake. "Master, Ouyang Jian is very cunning, he won't have other intentions!" "What do you think he wanted?" The chief of staff looked at the map speechlessly.

At this time, a communications officer came in and made an urgent report: "Report, the 17th Brigade of the 52nd Division is in an emergency, its transport team has been attacked by the Red Army, a transport battalion in charge of escort has been eliminated, and a large number of military supplies have been lost. The Red Army attacked the convoy and withdrew into the lake. Everyone was surprised and the chief of staff said: "I understand, Ouyang Jian's move is to mobilize us and create conditions for the Red Army operating in the south. Ouyang Jian left suddenly, did he aim at the transport troops of the 64th and 65th brigades! "Order the 64th and 65th brigades to take strict precautions, and immediately launch an encirclement and suppression when Ouyang Jian is discovered!"

Ouyang Jian's elusiveness not only stimulated Zhou Zhe's nerves, but also made wrong judgments. The 64th Brigade and the 65th Brigade were not yet hot in Duchang County, so they set off north again, and the brigade commander Lu Sheng was very depressed on the way. Maybe he belongs to a sober person, and the battle in Duchang County made him see Ouyang Jian's strength. In particular, Ouyang Jian put a regiment in Duchang County as a lure to camouflage the main force, but it was done intentionally. The feeling of being fooled made Lu Sheng a little annoyed. Ouyang Jian used soldiers boldly, and even passed by himself, so difficult that he just wanted to attack Jingdezhen?

Seeing that his subordinates were sluggish, Lu Sheng said to the chief of staff: "Ouyang Jian's knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger in Jingdezhen is by no means as simple as cooperating with the attack on the southern front. I judge that he will never retreat to the west, and perhaps there will be a greater attempt. If you were Ouyang Jian, where would he be aiming for? The chief of staff pondered for a while and said: "It is impossible for Ouyang Jian to fight south, this is against military common sense, I estimate that he will continue to go north, maybe the target is Pengze and Hukou." At present, the headquarters of the Gan army are like frightened birds in Jiujiang, even if they find Ouyang Jian, they will not send troops easily, they are afraid of being beaten. ”

Lu Sheng didn't know if it was okay, he didn't believe that Ouyang Jian would go north, but he really couldn't see Ouyang Jian's intentions for a while. He thought of Shangrao, but Shangrao was close to the border of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and Lu Sheng never imagined that Ouyang Jian would dare to go deeper. "Inform the 65th Brigade that all units should keep their distance and not act without authorization, and once Ouyang Jian is attacked, they will immediately coordinate and strangle." "Do you suspect that Ouyang Jian is targeting us?" "We are in the light, Ouyang Jian is in the dark, maybe we will be bitten secretly at any time, we must be extremely careful."

The weather was overcast, and a large fleet of boats sailed north on the lake. Raided a transport convoy of the 51st Brigade, seized a large amount of supplies, and captured a battalion of enemy troops, the attack was a great success, and Su Yu led his troops into Poyang Lake again. At present, Poyang Lake seems to have become a swimming pool for the independent division of the Red Army, like a fish in water. Han Chu, the head of the first regiment on the bow of the ship, said: "The division commander asked for radio silence, I don't know what happened to them." "I estimate that the division commander is leading his troops to advance upward, so let's wait for the good news of victory." Now you can see why the division commander formed the Poyang Lake water guerrilla team in the first place, we are chic in the lake, and we are haunted in the east, provided that we control Poyang Lake to do all this. ”

"The division commander's strategic vision is unmatched, and the battle is happy and enjoyable. Deputy Divisional Commander, where are we going next? "Go back to the old man's temple, you can't let the enemy stop!" Su Yu led his troops to the Lao Ye Temple and ordered Hong Liang to transport the prisoners and captured military supplies back to Sweetwater Island. After the troops arrived at Lao Ye Temple, Su Yu sent two troops, one company to Duoli Township to eliminate the landlord forces there, and one battalion to Zuoli Township to capture the town and eliminate the security regiment there. Su Yu wanted to muddy the water and indirectly support the division commander in the battle.

Su Yu knew in his heart that at present, if the Central Army wanted to send a regiment to suppress it, it would not dare at all, and the gain of dispatching a brigade would not outweigh the losses, because the headquarters would retreat to the lake at any time. The enemy clearly knows where you are, but there is no way, and it can be said that the expedition to the east has completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield. At this time, Su Yu truly understood the flexibility and mobility of guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and regular warfare, in a word, you fight yours, I fight mine, and choose different tactics according to different situations, that is, the principle of guerrilla warfare advocated by Zhu Mao.

At the beginning, Ouyang Jian praised Runzhi's military thinking very much, and said that it was through Runzhi's military thinking that inspiration was inspired. Su Yu very much agreed with this viewpoint, and only after repeatedly reading the 16-character guiding principle for guerrilla warfare did he truly grasp its connotation. Su Yu backed Poyang Lake, rooted in Lao Ye Temple, and constantly sent small forces deep into the east, making the enemy dizzy, the key is that the whereabouts of Ouyang Jian's department are unknown, this is the most terrible enemy, for a while, the enemy army can't take care of Su Yu, and go all out to find Ouyang Jian.

After two nights and a day of rapid marching, Ouyang Jian led his troops to a long-distance attack and arrived at Qingshui Township in the north of Shangrao. In peacetime, troops would not be able to complete long marches without rigorous training. After the troops arrived at Qingshui Township, Ouyang Jian immediately sent Mu Shixiong to Shangrao to get in touch with Dark Arrow, and he wanted to know the details of Shangrao.

There is a dense forest next to Qingshui Township, and the woods are very quiet, and the quiet birds are dormant. The troops were too tired after the long journey, and the officers and men fell asleep. Ouyang Jian woke up from a two-hour sleep, ate the rice dumplings prepared by the pony, and then began to check the map.

Soon, Xiao Ke, Zhang Shiying and others all woke up. "Division Commander, when will we start acting!" Zhang Shiying, who was anxious, asked. Ouyang Jian said: "Don't worry, wait for Mu Shixiong to come back." "What if the enemy discovers our intentions?" "Even if the enemy discovers our intentions, it will be too late!" "How much do you know about Shangrao's situation?" The crowd shook their heads. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "At this time, I am in a good mood, so I will show off and talk about the situation in Shangrao." And the crowd gathered around.
