Chapter 62: The Red Bandits' firepower is so strong
But it was said that Liu Hui got an explicit order and led his troops to rush back immediately. He didn't know that this Li Jiansheng had already dug a grave for him, just waiting for him to come.
It turned out that Li Jiansheng had long since deduced Liu Hui's situation, and soon received accurate information from the underground party organization, so he secretly set up an ambush in a place called Baishungou outside the city of Shixing County -- this place was the only place to return to Shixing. Pitiful, Liu Hui's subordinates rushed forward, only thinking of catching the red bandits who might be arresting officials and interrogating landlords in Shixing County, and they didn't notice any of them, and they just fell into Li Jiansheng's ambush circle. The troops were first blown up by mines, and he and several heavy machine gunners were killed by snipers one by one, and it was the "red bandits" who beat his 3 battalions of Cantonese troops with about 10 battalions. Of course, He Jingsheng, an underground party member and chief of staff of the 8th Regiment, temporarily blocked the counterattack of the 1st Regiment and also played a great role.
Quickly cleaning up the battlefield, recognizing He Jingsheng on the spot, and rectifying the prisoners, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Na Yuntian quickly attracted the main force of the enemy, and at this time he learned from the radio that the main force of the independent regiment had annihilated another regiment of the enemy, and he was so happy that he almost cried out, and immediately retreated with the whole army. As soon as he arrived in the mountains, it was the world of his troops. You must know that the two main battalions of his army, one is trained according to the jungle division of later generations, the other is trained according to the mountain division of later generations, and the other two independent battalions are also composed of peasants or mountain people, and they are familiar with the mountains, so everyone is like a fish in water when they arrive in this mountain; On the other hand, Yu Hanmou's main force always thought that it was biting the main force of the red bandits, and he wanted to concentrate his forces to annihilate them, but the whole red bandit was a loach, and he couldn't beat it when he could see it, let alone catch it. Although it also occupied Lechang and Renhua, it did not eliminate the main force of the red bandits; As for Liu Hui's regiment, the information they have always received is that "they are fighting fiercely with the main force of the red bandits", so that they can't figure out the real situation, and they can't guess where the main force of the red bandits is. Later, I finally figured it out: seeing the red bandits doing it in two places at the same time, it is estimated that the purpose is to attract their own attention. Judging by the traces left by the red bandits and the sound of gunfire, the main force of the red bandits is definitely on their side. Therefore, regardless of the situation there of Liu Hui, it is just here to intensify the attack.
But it is said that Li Jiansheng took root in Sixing in an orderly manner. On the one hand, let the captured Liu Hui regiment radio station and Yu Han plot to report the false letter, and on the other hand, let Luo Tiebing lead three battalions and Yang Huwei lead two battalions, a total of 5 battalions, and after a short rest for a day, secretly return to Renhua. He developed his strength in Siheung. Fortunately, his assistants are very familiar with this set, and all the work is carried out in an orderly manner: first, relying on the local party organization to establish the Sixing Soviet power, Yu Kejian, secretary of the Shixing County Party Committee, is the chairman of the county Soviet, responsible for all the daily affairs of Shixing; Second, the 10th battalion of the independent regiment was established, with 350 people, He Jingsheng as the battalion commander, Luo Ning, deputy secretary of the local party organization, as the instructor, and He Jingsheng's old subordinates as the main force. Most of the more than 20 party members of this regiment serve as the backbone of the grassroots of this battalion, and some of them are transferred. Third, the 11th battalion of the independent regiment was set up, with 350 people, with Wang Hanying concurrently serving as the battalion commander and Zeng Xiangyang concurrently serving as the battalion instructor, and some party members drawn from He Jingsheng's battalion and some local young party members serving as the backbone of this battalion. Its strength is divided into three parts: the first company was adapted from the prisoners of the original 8th Regiment of the Guangdong Army; The second company was adapted from the local city defense bureau and the police; The third company was formed by local young people who had joined the army. Fourth, the establishment of the Siheung Independent Battalion, part of which is for the city defense soldiers and police, and part of it is for young people who have joined the army, and the training will be carried out after the disruption.
Knowing that among the three newly formed battalions, except for the 10th battalion, the other two battalions were not very strong, so Li Jiansheng asked Wang Hanying and Zeng Xiangyang to stay and step up the training of the troops, not only to train the 11th battalion, but also to help train the Sixing Independent Battalion; He himself took the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6 special companies - the logistics baggage company remained behind - and followed the Luo Tie Army.
On the way, Li Jiansheng learned the news that Yu Hanmou set up the former enemy headquarters in Renhua, two regiments were stationed here, and the other two regiments were stationed in Lechang, and the remaining six regiments were all dragged into the mountains of Nanling by Yuntian. With a happy heart, he thought about it, discussed with Luo Tiebing at the moment, and decided to sneak attack Renhua.
However, it was said that it was the 11th and 12th regiments stationed in Renhua, as well as the division commanders of the 6th Division. According to the requirements, in addition to guarding this headquarters, they also had to send troops to "clean up" the surrounding area. It turned out that I heard that there were red bandits here, and when they arrived, they didn't even see a little red. There was no force to use, which made the division commander Tan Xiuming and the two regiment commanders depressed, and after a deduction, Tan Xiuming decided to send troops out of the city every day to clear it. He hated these red bandits so much that he was determined to turn the world upside down here, and to smash the foundation of the red bandits.
On this day, it was the time of the 3rd Battalion of the 11th Regiment to clear up. However, from the time I left the city in the early morning until the middle of the afternoon, I couldn't see it back, and after thinking about it, the two regiment commanders immediately felt bad. The dense gunfire that I heard nearby earlier was probably the gunfire of this battalion being completely annihilated by the Red Army; You must know that when I first heard the sound of the weapon, it was obviously the standard weapon of my own army, and I thought that this battalion was beating the red bandits, and because I believed in the strength of this battalion, I did not send troops to assist; But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that my troops were beaten by the red bandits.
This information was quickly reflected to Tan Xiuming. Tan Xiuming was furious, sneered again, and immediately sent another battalion to take a look. Unexpectedly, the battalion was only halfway there, and there was another fierce burst of gunfire. After a while, the two regiment commanders received information: this battalion had encountered the main force of the red bandits and was attacking with fire. This information went to Tan Xiuming again. Tan Xiuming was very angry early in the morning, and when he heard that he had attracted a red bandit, his heart was a little wilder, and he ignored the dissuasion of the chief of staff, gritted his teeth, and insisted on taking two regiment commanders and mobilizing three battalions of troops to rush to reinforcements. This benevolence left only one battalion to guard the city.
As soon as Tan Xiuming arrived at the position with the main force, his heart calmed down. He and the two regiment commanders are both people who have been in war for a long time, and they immediately judged that the enemy's strength was at least four battalions or more, and they thought that it was the main force of the red bandits, so they only felt that the previous depression was okay this time, because now they could finally fight to the death with the main force of the red bandits! On the other hand, with the strength of his regular army, it is not as easy as drinking egg soup to fight the red bandits composed of these peasants? The moment was overjoyed, and immediately organized forces into battle.
As soon as the two sides connected the fire, Tan Xiuming found that the combat power of this red bandit was really good. At the moment, I sighed in my heart, knowing that this time I had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I must seize it! As a result, the previous feeling of defeat of losing a battalion was immediately replaced by the mood of seeking battle at this moment. As soon as Tan Xiuming discussed with the two regiment commanders, he decided: The two regiment commanders each took two battalions and immediately organized a strong attack, and the battle must be resolved within an hour and the red bandits of the unit must be completely annihilated!
However, this battle lasted more than two hours, and Tan Xiuming's idea was self-defeating. Tan Xiuming was also a little bitter, he only felt that the firepower of this red bandit was not weaker than his own at all, and he didn't know where their firepower came from!
He had just thought about this, and when he felt that he should find another way to find his opponent, suddenly a part of the remnants of the army rushed over from behind. After asking, I learned that this red bandit did not know when he sent a department to break into Renhua, and with the help of Renhua Neiying, he easily captured the county seat, and smashed the division commander, occupied the baggage department, and the chief of staff was killed, and they hurried over to report the news.
Tan Xiuming was so dizzy with anger at the moment that he was about to vomit blood, but he really didn't know what this red bandit was doing. But there was certainly no time for him to think about it at the moment, so he had to order his headquarters to retreat immediately, while his heart ached for those baggage--those were the weapons and ammunition of his division, which were intended to be used by the bandits this time, and this time they were afraid that they would all be occupied by the red bandits; It's a pity for a while, I'm afraid that the battalion in the city won't be available! He didn't know that Luo Kai, the commander of the battalion in the city, was mistaken because of his lust.
