"Captain, the enemy is heading to the south gate, are we going to pursue it?" The guard pony shouted loudly, and Ouyang Jian said: "The enemy army is already a frightened bird, they will return soon, there is no suspense in the battle, this is my command position and cannot leave." As soon as Ouyang Jian's words fell, a dense gunfire sounded at the south gate, especially the unique sound of the light machine gun, which was very pleasant. Ouyang Jian said to Xiao Ma: "Go and inform Battalion Commander Luo and Battalion Commander Song, and order them to concentrate their forces and follow the enemy army to fight fiercely, so that the enemy army has no chance to breathe." ”

The pony figure in the dark vanished, "Captain, we're back." "Shangguan Yun, Dabao and other 4 people appeared on the ridge." Ask the group leader to assign a combat mission! "Shangguan Yun was in good spirits, and his eyes were shining in the dark." Your captain is at the high point on the right, immediately return to the team, and continue to carry out precision strikes on the enemy. "Yes!" Shangguan Yun, Dabao and other 4 people left. Ouyang Jian glanced at his watch, it was already midnight. The gunfire at the south gate began to thin out, and Ouyang Jian judged that the enemy's breakthrough was blocked, and it seemed that the reinforcements from Tongluo Village and Meiling arrived before dawn to end the battle.

At the south gate, another enemy attack was repulsed. "Stop shooting!" Xiao Feng watched the enemy retreat from the main street and put the shell gun into the holster. "Battalion commander, will we take advantage of the victory when the enemy retreats?" A subordinate pleases. "Our mission is to hold the south gate and prevent the enemy from escaping. No one was allowed to leave the position without an order. "The sound of grenades exploding in the streets where the enemy troops retreated, and the flames of the explosions were like fireworks of victory, which was very exciting.

At this time, the enemy army was already in a mess, like a headless fly. In a private house facing the street, the regiment commander Zhao Liang had bandages wrapped around his legs, and the chief of staff was hanging on his arms, also wrapped in bandages. The owner of the room, including the family, was so frightened that he cowered in the corner and shivered. "Captain! The commander of the first battalion was killed, and the commanders of two companies of the first battalion were seriously wounded. The commander of the second and third battalions was seriously wounded, and four of the six company commanders under his command were killed. The Red Bandit strength was not 300 at all, at least 1,000. Judging by the enemy's machine-gun fire, the enemy had at least two companies at the east gate. The chief of staff said.

The chief of staff of the enemy army continued to be decadent: "The red bandits have 4 machine guns at the south gate, and it is estimated that the strength is at least one company, so it can be judged that our sneak attack plan has leaked information, and the enemy must have secretly transferred the forces of Tongluo Village, and we were fooled." "At this time, a company commander came in from outside, staggered after being shot in the chest." Report, North Gate ・・・・・・. The company commander fell to the ground and breathed before he finished speaking. Damn, the red bandits arranged snipers at high points to shoot officers, Ouyang Jian was too vicious. ”

"Regiment commander, the red bandits are very cunning, they blew up the radio at the beginning, they should send someone to break through and report to the brigade commander for rapid reinforcements." "It is difficult to quench the thirst of the near water, and the brigade commander led the large army to set off from Yongxiu County at dawn according to the plan, and we can only hold on and wait for help. Ordering the reduction of our forces and holding on to reinforcements is the only way out for us. "Regiment commander, the troops have been disrupted, especially a large number of officers have been killed, and the soldiers' will to fight is facing collapse, and it is not easy to shrink the strength and hold on."

"How many troops are around?" "About two companies!" The sound of machine guns outside was interrupted again, and a subordinate came in to report: "Regiment commander, the snipers of the red bandits are too terrible, and three machine gunners have been killed." "Report, three battalions and one company surrendered to the enemy!" The crowd was dumbfounded. What it means to surrender means that there will be a ripple effect. Sure enough, bad news came one after another, and the news of the surrender of one platoon after another kept coming back. Zhao Liang lost control of the troops, let alone commanded the operation.

Violent explosions came one after another, and Luo Ronghuan led his men to occupy the favorable terrain and condescendingly, once again throwing grenades at the enemy. "Stop fighting! Stop fighting, we surrender! "There was shouting from the streets. Luo Ronghuan saw that the enemy soldiers threw their guns on the ground one after another, raised their hands and shouted indiscriminately, so he ordered to stop dropping bombs. About 50 enemy soldiers laid down their arms and became prisoners, and the enemy army began to crumble. Song Renqiang led his men to rush up to a street intersection and met a group of enemy troops. In a chaotic firefight, some of the enemy troops on the opposite side were knocked down, some ran away, and some simply threw away their weapons and surrendered.

The enemy forces were left on their own, and the resistance was getting weaker and weaker. At about 4 o'clock in the morning, Li Guangda led 800 soldiers to the south gate. At this time, the enemy army has become the last of the strong crossbows, and the reinforcements are quickly thrown into battle. At about 5 o'clock, reinforcements from Meiling arrived, and the battle came to an end. At this time, the headquarters of the 44th regiment, which included two companies, was surrounded in a quadrangle. Outside, Ouyang Jian was holding a "sniper" rifle in his hand and ordered a captured platoon commander to go in and report that he would surrender his gun within 10 minutes and not kill him, otherwise he would be bombarded.

At this time, 8 captured mortars were erected outside, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the courtyard. After listening to the report of the captured platoon commander, the regiment commander Zhao Liang looked at the enemy outside who was unable to get through, and knew that he had no way to return to heaven, so he ordered to surrender. Soon the enemy threw out their weapons, and the regiment commander Zhao Liang led his subordinates to walk out dejectedly. Ouyang Jian greeted him and said, "Commander Zhao knows that the contempt is Ouyang Jian, the captain of the secret detachment of the Red Army. It's not your fault that you're annihilated, because you've met an opponent you've never seen before. ”

Zhao Liang looked at Ouyang Jian in annoyance, opened his mouth and closed his eyes in pain. At this time, in the compound of the security regiment, the guard Tao Yong climbed the ridge, looked at the groups of prisoners on the street, and shouted happily that he had forgotten his duty. In the room, Zhong Wenjuan changed into men's clothes and put a letter on the table. She looked at Xin Mo with a complicated mood: Cousin Hugh wants to blame me, I can't help but wish you good luck. Then he opened the back window and jumped out nimbly. I don't know how long it took, Tao Yong seemed to remember something, and quickly climbed down the ridge and entered the house to find that his wife was missing. Seeing a letter on the table, he hurriedly put it in his arms.

Tao Yong searched the courtyard several times, but did not see the shadow of his wife, and hurriedly went to report the news. At this time, on the playground of an elementary school in the city, captured enemy soldiers gathered here. The head of the regiment, Zhao Liang, looked at his subordinates with a gloomy face, a decadent and confused expression. The captured wounded soldiers were simply bandaged, the lightly wounded waited in place for treatment, and the seriously wounded were carried away for treatment. "Report to the captain, after counting, 822 enemy troops were captured, of which 95 were seriously wounded and 205 were lightly wounded. The enemy lost 388 people. 12 mortars and ・・・・・・ light and heavy machine guns were captured. ”

A smile bloomed on Luo Ronghuan's face after the report, and Su Yu said: "Captain, hearty, a classic battle, I didn't expect our uprising to start in the joy of victory!" Several others also clamored, and the scene was lively. Captain, I received your telegram, 100,000 urgent, we set off immediately, and it was still too late to arrive at the county seat. "Deputy Captain Li, you came just in time to hasten the surrender of the enemy army, and the results are exciting."

"Captain, Captain! Madame is gone, this is a letter she left behind! Tao Yong shouted and ran over. Ouyang Jian was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly took the letter to check it. Seeing that Ouyang Jian's face turned from white to red, he flew on the horse. But the reins in his hand did not loosen, but closed his eyes to calm himself. Ouyang Jian dismounted from the new horse, and under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he handed the letter to Mao Zetan. Then he walked up to the group of captives with a majestic expression and shouted: "All attention, the officers above the company stand up!" ”

Soon several officers above the company and battalion level came out, and each of them was wounded. Ouyang Jian saw that almost two-thirds of the officers above the company had been reimbursed, and there were not many battalion-level officers left, and he understood what was going on. "Commander Zhao, failure is a common thing in soldiers, I decided to let you go, including all the officers above the company level, but I left the soldiers. You go back and tell Chen Huanzhang, just say that I am waiting for him in Yunshui County. Zhao Liang was a little skeptical and said: "Ouyang Jian, you don't know how to shoot black guns!" "I shoot black guns on the battlefield, but I never shoot black guns on the battlefield, so you can go with confidence!"

Due to Zhao Liang's leg injury, Ouyang Jian allowed him to ride his own horse. Soon, Zhao Liang and more than a dozen defeated generals went out of the east gate in embarrassment and ran to the direction of Yongxiu County. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, why did you release the enemy commander?" Zhang Hanfu asked. "Representative Zhang, this is called not tired of deceit, I want the enemy to take the initiative to withdraw troops." "I want to ask you, you really don't know the identity of Madame?" Zhang Hanfu questioned again. "I will explain it clearly to the organization, because of my carelessness, I almost caused a catastrophe, and I will do a deep examination!"

"Captain Ouyang, I believe in your party spirit. If you don't say anything about your military command ability, I will immediately send a report to the Shanghai Bureau. Zhang Hanfu left excitedly. You didn't pursue, did you want to let her go? Mao Zetan asked. Ouyang Jian didn't know if it was okay. "Yes, it's not good to judge that she fled to that reverse, it's not your fault, don't bother with it and let it pass!" Ouyang Jian knew Mao Zetan's intentions and nodded gratefully and said, "Li Guangda!" "Here!" "You take a company of troops and quickly escort the prisoners and the captured wounded soldiers to Tongluo Village." "Yes!"

"Comrade Ouyang Jian, do you want to transform these captives?" Mao Zetan was slightly surprised. "Why not, most of these soldiers are from bitter backgrounds. We can transform the bandits, why can't we transform the captives. Commissar, the ideological work is all up to you. According to my understanding, Zhu Peide's descendants have a very upright atmosphere, and if they are transformed into qualified Red Army soldiers, it will be like a tiger with wings. In order to rapidly expand the ranks of the Red Army in the future, it is first necessary to devote efforts to the prisoners. "Great idea!" Mao Zetan liked.

After Li Guangda escorted the prisoners away, everyone returned to the regiment headquarters. Ouyang Jian said: "Mu Shixiong! "Here!" "Your special combat team will set off immediately, go to the direction of Yongxiu County to search, find the enemy's situation, and come back immediately to report." "Yes!" "I judged that Chen Huanzhang would definitely retreat back when he knew that a reorganized regiment had been wiped out, but I didn't think he had the guts to come. It just so happened that we seized the time to consolidate our troops and prepare for the uprising. This battle has exposed our strength, and Zhu Peide must have been furious, and I estimate that his 6th and 5th divisions will stay behind to deal with us. ”

"The next step is to remove the grenade factory, gun factory, and clothing factory in the county. All these factories were transferred to Tongluo Village, and I let go of the enemy commander in order to confuse the enemy army, in order to gain time. Now I am most worried about the security team in De'an County, and I don't know if they can turn the corner. Ouyang Jian's words made everyone's hearts heavy. Tan Song! "Comrade Ouyang Jian, what do you need me to do?" "Now your identity can be made public, in addition to mobilizing the people, let the clothing factory hurry up to make military uniforms, and the Red Army must have its own distinctive military uniforms."

After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, he took out a dozen pieces of paper from his cabinet and said, "This is the Red Army uniform I designed, please take a look!" ”
