Chapter Eighty-Eight: Skillfully Fighting Zhou Hun Yuan (3)
It turned out that the situation encountered by Long Guojian's department was made by Comrade Lao Hu and Yun Tian based on Li Jiansheng's ideas, in order to make Long Guojian believe; This caused Long Guojian to run east and west, which is also what Li Jiansheng meant; In the end, it was agreed to besiege and annihilate the enemy at the city of Yu.
In this way, without knowing it, Li Jiansheng's various departments quietly moved in. Except for the 2nd Red Division dragging the Northern Prisoner He Jian's Division, and the 4th Red Division dragging Yu Hanmou's Division, the remaining Red 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Divisions were all concentrated by Li Jiansheng and secretly joined up with the Red 6th Division. In the end, the strongest Red First Division broke through between Long Guojian and Zhou Hunyuan's troops, the Red First Regiment and the Red Third Regiment fought Zhou Hunyuan, and the Red Second Regiment and the Red Fourth Regiment fought Long Guojian. The Red 3rd Division besieged in the north, the Red 5th Division besieged in the south, and the Red 6th Division counterattacked from the west.
In less than 20 minutes, the three new 33rd regiments, the new 27th regiment, and the new 31st regiment of Long Guojian's headquarters were still in the encirclement, but the losses were not small. Long Guojian was killed by an artillery shell, Zhao Jin, commander of the new 33rd Regiment, was shot in the head by You Juncai, deputy commander of the sniper company who had just been promoted to an important post in the Red Army, and Jia Zhiguo, commander of the new 31st Regiment, was beaten into a sieve by a heavy machine gun when he led his troops to break through. The soldiers, who were slow to see the opportunity, died unexpectedly; Seeing the opportunity, he hurriedly raised his gun and surrendered.
Li Jiansheng's department won a complete victory.
Once victorious, leaving Hu Lingquan's division to clean up the battlefield, Li Jiansheng immediately organized the Red 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Divisions to attack Zhou Hunyuan's division headquarters and the 28th Regiment. The four regiments of the 1st Red Division were all concentrated, tightly biting the 28th Regiment, and the 3rd Red Division was outflanked from the left and the 5th Red Division from the right. Zhou Hunyuan, who had been fighting for a long time, finally did not feel good at this time, and led his troops to retreat step by step, but seeing that his troops were in danger of being completely annihilated, and finally under the strong request of Zhou Zhi of the 28th Regiment, Zhou Hunyuan and the chief of staff led the guard company and a battalion of the 28th Regiment to retreat in advance. Zhou Zhi is a veteran, and the 28th Regiment is also an old regiment, with good combat power. Therefore, Zhou Zhi led the remaining two main battalions of the 28th Regiment and the other three regimental companies, as well as the divisional engineering battalion and artillery to resist the Red Bandits. But no matter how old the soldiers are, no matter how strong the combat power is, the two battalions really can't withstand the siege of three divisions. First of all, Zhou Zhi, who was watching the battlefield situation with a telescope in the bunker, was shot dead by Li Jiansheng through the lookout of the bunker, and then the artillery position was destroyed by Lu Keshan's troops, and so far, the skeleton of the 28th regiment was completely collapsed. Once he attacked the bunker and learned that Zhou Hun Yuan had run away with a pre-emptive force, Li Jiansheng stomped his feet and ordered the 10th and 11th regiments of the 3rd Red Division to pursue. Although he annihilated another enemy on the way, he still escaped for Zhou Hunyuan. Li Jiansheng sighed secretly for a while, this was originally going to annihilate the 15th Division, but this time I am afraid that there is no hope. Come to think of it, with Zhou Hunyuan here, the chief of staff here, and the guard company and a part of the 28th regiment, I'm afraid that the 15th division will be rebuilt again.
In fact, later, as Li Jiansheng guessed, Zhou Hunyuan went back this time, although he was defeated, but because of the active suppression of the Communist Party, he was not treated by Chairman Jiang in any way, but was more trusted, thinking that he was loyal and had experience in fighting against the red bandits, and he was more and more reused, and these 15 divisions were really rebuilt and became the main division of the first class. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
However, it is said that Li Jiansheng led his troops back and concentrated superior forces to annihilate almost all of the 15th Division of Zhou Hunyuan of the Jiangxi enemy in one fell swoop, captured countless people, captured 1,237 enemy soldiers, and a formed artillery battalion. As for Li Jiansheng's department, more than 160 soldiers died before and after, and more than 400 soldiers were wounded. Fortunately, because there was a field hospital, these wounded soldiers were still treated in time; As for the fallen soldiers, they were handed over to the local government, and they were properly buried and their families were properly arranged.
As soon as the battlefield was cleaned here, and when he saw that all his troops had been redressed and there were still some weapons, he brought them all with him, and he did not rest, and the various departments divided their troops: Zhao Boping led the teaching regiment and training office of the 18th Army Corps to gather in Nanxiong, responsible for the transformation of the prisoners of the original Zhou Hun Yuan Division; Yun Tian, Hu Lingquan, and Cai Zhong led the Red Sixth Division to southern Hunan to help the Red Second Division led by Peng Zhi to drag He Jian's department; Li Jiansheng personally led the Red 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Divisions to the south and came to help the Red 4th Division led by Huang Su to defeat Yu Han's army.
Three days later, when most of Li Jiansheng's troops quietly rushed to the outskirts of Lechang, Huang Su had already led the Red Fourth Division to drag the 6th Division of Yu Hanmou's headquarters east and west for 12 days, so as to borrow the living force to kill nearly two battalions of the enemy scattered. This time, as soon as it was supported by the main force, it was agreed through the radio to set up an ambush on Guitou Mountain between Ruyuan and Lechang. As soon as the 6th Division of the Cantonese Army entered the ambush circle, it was first blown up by mines and then bombarded by artillery to the east and west, and when the troops were just about to assemble, groups of grenades came again, and as soon as the grenades passed, the heavy machine guns began to strafe without scruples. Pitiful, Chen Jitang spent a lot of money to run the Sixth Division, the combat strength is not weak, but he had no choice but to be dumplings by Li Jiansheng today, this battle only lasted more than an hour, from the division commander Dai Zhenguo to the whole division of more than 5,800 people, more than 3,800 were killed, and the rest of the nearly 2,000 people were all captured. All light and heavy weapons fell into the hands of Li Jiansheng's troops. After receiving the letter, the 2nd Division stationed in Shaoguan hurried to reinforce it, but it was blocked by Li Jiansheng's division on the way, and lost another regiment on the spot. Once the fighting in the south of Li Jiansheng's division subsided, he immediately let the fourth division rest on the spot, and he took three main divisions and some newly captured weapons, waved his division north, and then joined the Red Second Division led by Peng Zhi and the Red Sixth Division of Yuntian, and set up an ambush in Xianghualing between Jiahe and Linwu, annihilating the 69th Division of He Jian's division, seizing countless weapons, and capturing more than 2,400 Hunan enemies.
So far, from the end of October 1931 to the middle of January 1932, the "first anti-encirclement and suppression in the Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi border Soviet areas" ended with Li Jiansheng's complete victory. In this battle, at a relatively small cost of sacrificing more than 530 soldiers and wounding more than 1,200 soldiers, Li Jiansheng's unit completely annihilated one division of the Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong enemies and one division of the second division of the Guangdong Army, killed two enemy division commanders, captured 6,000 people in three divisions, and captured countless light and heavy weapons. The six divisions under the command of the 18th Red Army Corps under Li Jiansheng's command not only fully tempered the commanders and fighters during this two-month campaign, but also replenished all the personnel and reequipped all the troops' weapons. What's even more exaggerated is that because there are so many weapons, these weapons are piled up there, and the soldiers can choose their own!
But despite this, a large number of guns were left empty. When Xu Zhengfang told Li Jiansheng the news happily and with some worry, Li Jiansheng burst out laughing. This Xu Zhengfang is also really, when he doesn't have a gun, he is in a hurry every day, and when he has a gun, he is also in a hurry, how can this person survive? What's more, in his Li Jiansheng's thoughts, these guns already have owners, and the envoys are either someone else, or those prisoners. There is no way, the army has to expand, this captive is an old routine, and it is all transformed by doing work.
