Li Jiansheng nodded and said, "It's good if there is no opinion. However, in order to prevent accidents, everyone will need to further familiarize themselves with the terrain after the meeting. Seeing everyone nodding, Li Jiansheng swept around with his eyes again, and saw that the cadres were all eager to fight, and began to issue combat orders:

1. Briefing on the Enemy's Situation: According to the intelligence of the reconnaissance battalion and the situation report of the headquarters, the enemy troops have already driven over this morning and are about to pursue our unit. At the enemy's current pace, we will engage fire with our troops as soon as this afternoon. Among them, the enemy's 62nd Hunan Division will pursue our army from the direction of Xikou and Xianxi to the direction of Jingzhou; The enemy's 19th Hunan Division will pursue our army from the direction of Linkou and Xianxi to the direction of Xinchang; The enemy's 16th Hunan Division, 3 brigades and 6 regiments will pursue our troops from Yatunbao to Boyang. It is estimated that the enemy's 16th Hunan Division, with 2 regiments of the 48th Brigade as the vanguard, searched and advanced in the direction of Yatunbao and Boyang, followed by the 47th Brigade and the 46th Brigade behind. The two divisions of the Gui Army have crossed Ganxi and are estimated to reach the direction of Boyang tomorrow. Zhou Hunyuan's division of the Central Army came from Chengbu, and the three divisions pursued our army in the direction of Dongshan, Jingzhou, and Hengjiang Bridge.

2. Our army's combat intentions: Although our regiment has 40,000 troops, although there has been a significant reduction in soldiers and materials compared with before, our army has complete weapons, sufficient ammunition, and an artillery battalion, as well as 78 heavy machine guns, more than 260 light machine guns and some submachine guns, and has an obvious advantage in automatic firepower. This time, except for the 17th and 18th divisions, which did not participate in the battle, all the other firepower and soldiers participated in the battle. Therefore, our corps is determined to first completely annihilate the enemy's 16th Hunan Division, and then choose an opportunity to annihilate the enemy's 62nd and 19th Divisions. The J-16 Division operated in three waves. In the first wave, the target of the ambush was the 48th Avant-garde Brigade of the enemy's 16th Division, and the second wave ambushed the enemy's 16th Hunan Division, the 47th Brigade, and the independent artillery battalion of the enemy's 28th Army. The third wave ambushed the target enemy 46 Brigade. In the first wave of ambushes, the front position was 46 regiments, the left 47 regiments, the right 48 regiments, the 55 regiments, and the 56 regiments and 57 regiments behind. Among them, the 56th Regiment also had to send a battalion to assist the 47th Regiment in guarding the left side. When launching an attack, it is required to concentrate firepower, and the battle must be resolved within an hour, and not one person must slip through the net. As soon as it was over, the 47th Regiment of the 16th Red Division and the 55th Regiment of the 19th Division of our Red Division immediately withdrew from the battle, marched forward in a hurry to carry out a new round of ambush, cut off the connection between the 47th Brigade and the 46th Brigade, and demanded that a firm position be established in the rear and on the left. The 16th Regiment of the 48th Division immediately ran to advance to the perimeter and block the enemy's front. The 56th and 57th regiments of the 19th Division entered the ambush position from the right. The 46th Regiment cleaned up the battlefield. Therefore, before the big battle, all fighters had double weapons and ammunition, and it was required that after the defeat of the enemy's 48 brigade, there would be enough ammunition to attack the enemy's 47 brigade. When our army attacked the enemy's 47th Brigade, the 46th Regiment, which had cleaned up the battlefield, ran forward at a rapid marching speed, did not need to participate in the battle, and directly approached the enemy's 46th Brigade, but it did not need to immediately engage fire with the enemy, only needed to build a position, and waited for the follow-up main force to come up. Once the enemy's 47th Brigade was annihilated, the 57th Regiment was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and the rest of the units immediately moved forward to cooperate with the operation and finally annihilated the enemy's 46th Brigade. One thing to note here is that after we annihilated the enemy's 48th and 47th brigades, our fighters did not necessarily have enough ammunition to fight the 46th brigade. Don't worry, I've got it arranged. If our army is under great pressure, this battle will be canceled, and everyone will not have to worry about ammunition; If our army fights well, then the baggage troops and reserves will send ammunition, and you don't have to worry. If the two sides are at a standoff, because our 46th and 57th regiments will clean up the battlefield and obtain the enemy's weapons and ammunition, which can be supplied in time, so you still don't have to worry about ammunition. There is only one quick word here, you must quickly annihilate the enemy, do not let the enemy react, and continue to annihilate the other part of the enemy.

3. Operational deployment: The first company of the sniper battalion acted with the 17th and 18th divisions, and the remaining two companies participated in this battle. Your goal is to establish a covert sniper position, to take out all enemy officers who can be spotted at the first time, and then to take out any enemy firing points that may be erected; The 3rd Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion followed the action of the political commissar, and the 1st and 2nd Companies participated in the battle, continued to go out to reconnoitre, grasped the enemy's movements, and brought telescopes to set up a forward observation post 1,000 meters away from the ambush point, and cooperated with the 3rd Communications Company to contact me by telephone. Note that the observation posts of the two companies are to be located in places that are both concealed and unobstructed. concealment, with the aim of not being discovered by the enemy; Unblocked, it is convenient to set up a phone to contact me. The guard battalion, one with the political commissar in the reserve, and the other participated in this battle, mainly hidden on the hills of Dupo, and the task was to take out the enemy's search vanguards. The light machine guns of each department are used for their own use, and the heavy machine guns are uniformly arranged according to the plan of the staff office, and each machine gun is required to mark the firing boundary in advance to ensure that the fire covers the road surface in the entire ambush circle, leaving no blind spots for shooting, and the position must be hidden before firing and cannot be discovered by the enemy.

Fourth, when the battlefield was cleaned up after the battle, the Second Communications Company also participated. All prisoners were guarded by a battalion assigned by the regiment that cleaned the battlefield, and all weapons and ammunition were transported directly by the other fighters of the regiment to the established second and third wave attack sites. The Second Communications Company went directly to the enemy's radio station and telegraph personnel, and it was necessary to control the prisoners at the first time, prevent the enemy's telegraph operators from destroying the code book, and then immediately hand them over to the regimental radio station Fan Company Commander; if the enemy's division headquarters sent a telegram asking what was going on, the radio station should reply that a regiment had already defeated the Red Bandits' rear guard and had begun to pursue, so as to lure the enemy to speed up the march.

5. The second wave of ambushes: When the first wave of ambushes cleared the battlefield, the forward observation posts of the 1st reconnaissance company and the 1st communications company moved forward by another 1,000 meters; The ministries set up ambushes in accordance with the arrangements I have just made. Then hit the enemy in unison.

6. The third wave of ambushes: After the second wave of ambushes, if there is a major change in the enemy's situation, the whole front will immediately withdraw from the battle, and no battle will be allowed. Use the commissar's reserve to buy time for everyone. The other 57th and 45th regiments were mixed into an echelon, commanded by Ji Zhentong, and alternately withdrew from the battle with the reserves led by the political commissar. If there is no major change in the enemy's situation, the tasks of each unit will be the same as the second wave of ambush missions, but the positions will be pushed forward. At this time, the reserves will also be thrown into battle, striving to solve the battle within 20 minutes!

7. The communications battalion immediately pulled the line and set up a telephone call at the forward observation post, the headquarters of the two divisions, and me. Before the battle, the regiments and divisions were to communicate with each other in the language of the flag, and the units attacked with the sound of my gun, and they were not allowed to blow the trumpet of the charge when they began the attack. My headquarters was located right behind the 46th Regiment. With my attack, other units saw the 46th regiment charge and immediately charged. Remember, the 46th Regiment does not charge, and no one in the other divisions is allowed to charge, so as not to be accidentally injured by our machine-gun fire!

After Li Jiansheng finished speaking, he looked at the cadres again: "Did you hear it clearly?" Any comments? ”

All the cadres at the corps, division, and regimental levels replied in unison: "I heard it clearly!" Resolutely carry out the order! ”

Li Jiansheng waved his hand again and said, "Everyone remember, this battle means a lot to us. As long as we win this battle, we will have the initiative, and when the time comes, we will be able to annihilate the enemies one by one, so as to create a world of our own. Come to think of it, with our 20,000 men beating him 10,000 people, with our equipment, even if we fight hard, then we have a chance of winning. Besides, we are in ambush right now? Is it to beat them brigade by brigade? I'm sure we're going to win! After a pause, Li Jiansheng said again: "The enemy doesn't know that we will dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and will dare to hit them here." At the moment, our main force has reached Liping, and the enemy does not think that we have a legion left here for the time being. You must know that the Red Third Front Army is a well-known thing in Liping, and our regiment has just been established, and they have not had time to know about it. In this way, we are in the dark, and they are in the light, just as we start. Therefore, with mental calculation and unintentionality, coupled with such a good ambush terrain, the enemy's forces cannot be deployed, with guns equal to no guns, and with artillery equals no artillery, and although the enemy has three brigades and six regiments, the strength is only half of ours, plus we are ambushing in sections, only ambushing one brigade and two regiments of the enemy at a time. The ratio of enemy power to friend is 8:1 or 10:1, forming an absolute advantage, and you are sure to win. I mean, as long as the first wave of ambushes is over, and our troops move quickly to catch up with the enemy's 47th Brigade, then we will be able to completely annihilate the enemy. I'm not worried about whether we can annihilate the enemy's 48th Brigade now, but I'm worried about whether our speed is fast or not, and whether we will have enough time to spare our hands. You must know that if you are slow, you will only destroy one brigade of the enemy, and if you are fast, you will destroy all of the enemy's divisions! Let's think about it, if we completely annihilate this division, we will have sufficient weapons and ammunition, and at that time, we will have a sufficient supply of troops and equipment, and we will have a great advantage when we attack the enemy's 62nd and 19th divisions in the future. After some explanation, the cadres present were all enthusiastic.

Li Jiansheng said, but waved his hand again and shouted loudly: "Use me in a tough battle, use me to win!" When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Act now! ”

The cadres also shouted in unison: "Use me in a tough battle, use me to win!" When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Act now! Then he rushed out and quickly rushed to his troops to prepare for an ambush.

In the early winter of the "Three Provinces Slope", the grass on the hillside has begun to wither and yellow, but the trees are still green. Li Jiansheng and his group stood on a hillside and looked to the opposite side, and a dirt road came from the mountains in the distance, and entered the canyon in front of the slope. The gorge was narrow, the road was built close to the western wall, and the slopes were covered with trees that could conceal part of the troops; The flat land on the east side of the road is not wide, there are no obstacles, and it is about 50 meters wide; At the end of the flat land is the hillside where Li Jiansheng and the 46th Regiment are located, and the forest is dense, which is convenient for hiding the troops and exerting firepower. The hill on the side of the road to the canyon is not high, but the slope is gentle, the shooting boundary is wide, and it is easy to arrange the position.

Looking at the huge footprints and the dung heaps left by the mules and horses on the ground that his troops deliberately passed by here, Li Jiansheng went through the battle plan again in his heart, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a modified sniper rifle from Xu Jinsong's hand, waved his hand, and said, "Go, ambush!" With that, the first one disappeared into the jungle.
