Chapter Seventy-One: Skillful Battle of the Milk Source

This gave Li Jiansheng a lot of opportunities.

After all aspects of work were on the right track, Li Jiansheng finally launched another attack. After it was determined that the Lechang Independent Battalion and the Sixing Independent Battalion were assembled, Wang Hanying commanded them in a unified manner, guarding the three counties and being responsible for maintaining local order, and all the others set up two action committees on the east and west. The eastern route was composed of Luo Tiebing, Zhao Boping, Yang Huwei, Wu Kelie and several others, and led the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and thirteenth battalions of the main regiment, as well as the Yizhang Independent Battalion, Guiyang Independent Battalion, Nanshan Independent Battalion, and Renhua Independent Battalion from southern Hunan, a total of 12 battalions, marched to Nanxiong and fought for the county seat of Xia Nanxiong; The most unfortunate is to occupy a part of Nanxiong. There are three principles of action: First, the final decision in military is Luo Tiebing, and the final decision in politics is Zhao Boping. The second is the expansion of the occupied area of maximum forces. Third, we should never lightly engage in offensive battles with the enemy, and we should try our best to attack the enemy and develop ourselves by making use of the methods of our troops who are good at fighting night battles, skillful warfare, and guerrilla warfare. Li Jiansheng, Yuntian and a few others formed the West Road Action Committee, led the special service battalion, the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion, as well as the Xintian Independent Battalion and the Rucheng Independent Battalion that rushed from southern Hunan, and 6 special companies, a total of about 9 battalions. As for the radio station, Ren Huayun followed Wang Hanying to guard the local area, Fan Chao took two radio stations to go with Li Jiansheng, and Ou Zhengping took two radio stations to follow Luo Tiebing. Several parties are in constant communication at all times. Logistically, food was immediately prepared, ammunition was prepared by the troops, and three days later they set off at the same time.

Early in the morning of May 2, 1931, Li Jiansheng's troops divided into two routes, all of them sneaked into the mountains and forests, and went straight to their respective goals. After five days of continuous marching in the mountains, Li Jiansheng led his troops to the outskirts of the county seat of Ruyuan. Because of the local people who got Yuntian, and the "little compass" "invented" by Li Jiansheng, everyone arrived at the destination according to the original plan.

Ru Yuan, Li Jiansheng still knows something. It was placed as a county in the third year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1167 AD). It is named after the bell ru produced in the karst cave of Fenggangling in the north of the county, and there is a source flow in the cave. Before the establishment of the county, Ruyuan Qin belonged to Nanhai County, Han belonged to Guiyang County, Wu of the Three Kingdoms belonged to Shixing County, and Tang belonged to Shaozhou. In 1946 (the 35th year of the Republic of China), it was changed to the second administrative inspection district of Guangdong Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County was established in October 1963. Of course, it is not these that make Li Jiansheng remember Ru Yuan, but the three characteristics of Ru Yuan. First, there are many mountains, you know, the source of the ru is located at the southern foot of the Nanling Mountains, running through the arc-shaped mountain system, and the terrain is inclined from northwest to southeast. The northwest and west are surrounded by peaks and mountains, belonging to the alpine zone, and the dissolution plateau landform is significant, and it is a typical limestone area. The northeast is hilly and the terrain on both sides of the river is gentle. There are 102 peaks above 1000 meters in the county, and the main mountains are Touzhai Mountain in the north, Dadong Mountain in the south, and Gouwei Ridge, the main peak of Yao Mountain in the north. As for the main peak of Shikenggang at the junction of Yizhang County in Hunan Province and Yangshan County in Guangdong Province, it is 1902 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Guangdong Province. Second, there are many forests, and the forest coverage rate of Ruyuan County exceeds 70%! Third, there are many characteristics. For example, there is the Ruyuan Grand Canyon, which is rare in China and has magical scenery; There is the first peak in Lingnan, Shikenggang; Nanling National Forest Park, a national nature reserve with more than 100,000 acres of primeval forest, which is famous in later generations; There is a perennial rippling blue waves with a water surface area of 55,000 acres. Wait a minute.

Of course, Li Jiansheng is not here to enjoy the scenery at the moment, he is really not free at the moment. As soon as the troops arrived at the designated position, Li Jiansheng held a meeting with Yuntian and several other battalion-level backbones. Several battalion commanders discussed with the battalion instructors and decided to follow the old method of night attack. But Li Jiansheng had reservations, that is, he didn't express his position, just looked at Yuntian. Yun Tian really lived up to his expectations and proposed that he come up with a way, that is, he would go back to his hometown first to see if he could find some people to help. Hearing Yun Tian say this, Li Jiansheng smiled. Li Jiansheng can't be blamed for this, but he really thinks about it more comprehensively, because he knows that this is a famous Yao Autonomous Region in later generations, and this is the first such place that his troops have encountered at the moment, and this ethnic relationship must be handled well. Fortunately, his troops have a character like Yuntian, which is the best!

After a few more careful discussions, the division of labor was clear: Yuntian took the special battalion back to his hometown to get help as much as possible; The reconnaissance company immediately conducted reconnaissance of the perimeter; The General Staff immediately carried out the design of the operational plan; Li Jiansheng himself led the troops into a state of repair on the spot to ensure that they could succeed in the war!

The units were then put into operation. In the next few days, Li Jiansheng's department lurked in this mountain, but he couldn't see anything, but the forest in this mountain forest was too lush. Although it caused a lot of inconvenience to the soldiers, it must be admitted that the targeted training in the past still worked, and everyone was not afraid of all kinds of insects, snakes and so on in this jungle. On the contrary, Li Jiansheng seized this rare opportunity to further train everyone. Time flies, three days pass. Later on the fourth day, Li Jiansheng was looking at the map at the temporary headquarters, and Shen Ying came in to report that Commander Yun had returned. Li Jiansheng hurriedly went out to pick it up, and sure enough, it was Yuntian's department. The leader was Yun Tian, and there were a few people next to him. Li Jiansheng hurriedly greeted him.

As soon as Yun Tian introduced, he learned that these people were all from Yuntian's village, as well as the "Yaomu" of several other Yao villages nearby. The first one, named Yun Gang, is Yun Tian's grandfather and the most respected elder in their village, although he is also in his 60s, but judging from his body and bones, he is healthy. Li Jiansheng guessed that because he had been exercising for many years, he was still free to move at this age and was not sick. followed Yun Gang, but there were several middle-aged men such as Yun Chong, Yun Gu, Lao Fei, Lao Zheng, Lao Ju, Bai Zhen, Bai Li, etc., all of whom were Yaomu with several big surnames in other villages. At the end, there are five young people, the first one is called Yun Hai, but it is Yun Tian's younger brother, a big man; Behind is a pair of twin sisters, named Yun Bei and Yun Lei, Yun Gang's granddaughter; There is also a young girl, but her name is Lao Jue, the pearl of Yaomu's surname. The last one, named Bai Ling, is Yuntian's wife! Li Jiansheng greeted these people warmly one by one, but in his heart, he thought about the meaning of so many people coming at once. For those men, it is still easy to say, they are all sharp and angular, and they can be recognized; That Yuntian's wife, Bai Ling, is a little older, and it is easy to recognize; But the three sisters of the Yao family, all dressed up, seemed to be exactly the same in his opinion, and he couldn't recognize them all, so he had to smile and nod to say hello.

After a brief acquaintance, Li Jiansheng hurriedly introduced everyone into his temporary headquarters for further detailed discussions. This talk only then did I understand the reason why they came so many people at once!
