Chapter 12: Rescuing the International Division of the Young Communist Party (2)

At this time, the soldiers of the Hunan army believed that the red bandits said by the commander came to Xiangxi to occupy territory, grab land, and rob women, and only by eliminating the red bandits could they keep the Hunan of their Hunan people.

occupies an area, and everyone doesn't care very much. That's far away from them, that's the leaders' business. But grabbing land and women, everyone can't agree. Without land, how can everyone live? Without women, everyone can't live! Therefore, to grab these two, everyone will never agree, and they must fight to the end! As a result, the morale of the Hunan army is very high, coupled with the excitement of the victories and the desire to see the ocean in the past few days, these Hunan soldiers have already killed the red eye. Who knew that he pursued all the way to the ferry, but was repelled by a group of child soldiers twice in a row. Is it tolerable or unbearable! The Hunan army, which was angry by the red imps, once again launched a new offensive.

This angry pursuit force was none other than Liu Jianxu's subordinates of the 28th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. At that time, the large force of the 28th Group Army was chasing the main force of the red bandits near the head of the border, and this division was ordered to pursue this doll division.

However, the third large-scale attack made little progress, and as in the previous two attempts, when they rushed to the hill, they saw that the group of baby soldiers had a burst of bullets, killing a few of them in the head; Then another batch of grenades dissipated the vigor of the battalion, and the soldiers turned their heads and ran towards the starting position. The third charge was declared a failure. The division commander who was watching the battle on the Hunan army position sighed and cursed. But after a while, he seemed to think of something, and he laughed again, so that the chief of staff around him could see a cold war. However, when the chief of staff saw that the division commander was gesticulating, he still wanted to come up, but he heard the division commander say: "The red bandits are almost unable to hold on." Listening to the gunfire just now, it is not as dense as it was at the beginning, and I guess they are running out of bullets. Wait a minute, you organize your troops to shoot at them for a while, using up as many bullets as you can. Well, I mean, there's no need to drain our strength for the sake of such a bunch of baby soldiers. ”

When the chief of staff heard this, he immediately knew the reason for the division commander's cruel smile just now, but he still secretly praised it in his heart. I was about to prepare, but I saw the teacher wave his hand at him and said, "You go and arrange it." Anyway, they can't run, wait a little longer, and our big army will come up. The chief of staff hurriedly nodded in response.

Sure enough, when the Hunan army troops and the Red Army fired at each other for a while. The Red Army's gunfire became more and more sparse, and it seemed that it was a little unsupportable. When the chief of staff saw it, he admired the division commander's clever plan and hurriedly reported to the division commander. The division commander also saw the situation on the battlefield at this time, and when he heard the compliment from the chief of staff, he was also happy, and immediately asked the chief of staff to organize another battalion-level charge and find a way to take down this group of baby soldiers. The chief of staff hurried into action.

The gunfire on the positions of the Red Army was getting weaker and weaker. It's clear that the Red Imps are running out of bullets, and they're at the end of their crossbows. At this time, fools knew that the Red Army could not withstand it, and as long as they worked harder, they would soon be able to rush to the Red Army positions to surrender their guns and capture prisoners. The Hunan soldiers were red-eyed, screaming and rushing forward.

However, at this time, something is wrong!

Just when this battalion-level charge was launched, just as the red bandits' guns on the front rang out sparsely, behind them, on the left, and on the right, suddenly there was a machine gun sound! The chief of staff was standing at the front and looking at the position with a telescope when suddenly a bullet flew from behind and went straight into his back. The chief of staff staggered, looked incredulously at the bloody hole left by the bullet through his chest, felt no pain, and looked along the direction of the possible bullet, and vaguely saw a group of soldiers in strange costumes rushing towards him, firing machine guns in the back of his brothers. The chief of staff wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, only felt a pain in his chest, a black eye, a soft foot, and fell to the ground!

No need to ask. It was Niu Dali and Bai Kaishan's Red 5th Division who came up. At that time, the division of the Hunan army pursued all the way, and when it arrived at the Fenghuangzui ferry, there were about 6,500 people. As a result, as soon as Niu Dali and Bai Kaishan's division came up, they gave the Hunan army this division a hard blow. Fortunately, the total strength of the Red 5th Division was only more than 4,500 people, although it was better to suddenly attack from behind and catch the enemy by surprise, but after all, it was impossible to achieve all the results with one blow; And the commander of the Hunan army was also very powerful, and when he saw this situation, there was something wrong, so without saying a word, he immediately concentrated the main force of the whole division to break through to the left side, and fought a bloody way from this side. Bai Kaishan, who was in charge of the left road, only wanted to save the International Division of the Young Communist Party, and he did not necessarily have to completely annihilate this Hunan army division, nor did he want to fight the enemy hard in this situation to consume his own troops, so he also let them live a little. Of course, it is inevitable to inflict heavy losses on the enemy. As a result, the commander of this division only broke through with more than 3,000 people. As for the rest, all 1,600 were killed, except for more than 1,000 who surrendered their guns and took prisoners.

The huge change also stunned the Red Army soldiers of the International Division of the Young Communist Party who were struggling to support the blocking position, and their guns were basically empty of bullets and grenades, and the soldiers who were ready to die honorably could not have imagined that a group of soldiers dressed in strange military uniforms would suddenly appear around the Hunan army's charging formation, and they would suddenly shoot at the enemy, and the firepower was so strong that there was no gap. Seeing the Hunan army's charging formation falling in rows, and hearing the familiar sound of the military horn, the soldiers suddenly woke up: This is our own Red Army team! It's our team attacking the enemy! The little soldiers who wept with joy rushed out of the position, shouting slogans of rushing and capturing prisoners, and rushed towards the Hunan army opposite.

The battle ended quickly. By the time Li Jiansheng arrived, the battlefield had just ended.

Niu Dali has already made contact with the rest of the International Division of the Young Communist Party. Knowing that it was the troops of the Red Third Front Army who saved everyone, these little soldiers who escaped death were extremely happy. In the end, the only remaining battalion commander and several other company commanders came over to meet Li Jiansheng. Li Jiansheng took a deep look at the young soldiers lined up in a row with gunpowder smoke on their faces, and sighed again in his heart, only thinking that they were real heroes. But I didn't know that he himself was even more remarkable in the eyes of this group of people, he was the commander-in-chief of the front army at such a young age, and his name "Li Jiansheng" was like thunder in the entire Red Army. This is true, you must know that Li Jiansheng is actually the same age as these people. He is only 21 years old and 22 years old!

However, standing in front of Li Jiansheng, there are really a group of young people worthy of admiration!

As the leader, Li Jiansheng saluted, shook hands with these young red imps one by one, and praised them. Subsequently, ask them what they mean. The battalion commander shouted that they were going to catch up with the main forces. Li Jiansheng nodded, and also expressed his meaning: he is also to catch up with the main force of the Central Red Army in front. He also said that if it was convenient, the remnants of the International Division of the Young Communist Party could advance with his large army. These red imps looked at each other, discussed it again, and finally reached a decision: they decided to cross the river with the Red Third Front Army first, catch up with the main force, and then return to their own troops. Li Jiansheng nodded, and appointed this battalion commander named Huang Hui as the temporary commander of the rest of the regiment, and asked him and these company commanders to immediately organize those soldiers, arm themselves with the weapons and food dropped by the Hunan army on the ground within a quarter of an hour, and then line up. He wanted to meet with everyone.
