The atmosphere at the headquarters of the 90th Division in Jingdezhen was strange, and Ouyang Feng took the letter to check it. All the generals had bewildered expressions on their faces. After a long time, Ouyang Feng handed the letter to the chief of staff and said, "Ouyang Jian put forward the conditions, which is simply too deceitful. How can a war be a child's play, Chief of Staff, what do you think this means? After reading the letter, the chief of staff was surprised and said, "Interesting, this is the battle letter of the younger brother." He was going to take the outlying positions in 8 hours, and then the two sides would cease fire. The condition is that the outer positions are captured, and we withdraw from Jingdezhen. I think we can do it. ”

The chief of staff then analyzed: "This shows that Ouyang Jian wants to fight a dignified battle with you, why don't we do that." Since Ouyang Jian uses a gambling style of warfare, we should not be timid. The key is whether you have the confidence to hold the outlying fortifications in 8 hours? Ouyang Jian proposed that the offensive area should be in the west of the city. The fortifications on the west side of the city were the most complete and strong, and I was confident that I could hold the outlying fortifications within eight hours, but I had one condition, and it was only necessary to attack during the day. I'm willing to bet if the other party agrees! The chief of staff had a sly smile on his face.

Ouyang Jian in the army headquarters took the letter and said: "Commander Xiao, this is the condition proposed by the other party, are you confident that you can take the outer fortifications of Jingdezhen within 8 hours during the day?" "Please rest assured, commander, that the mission will be completed!" Su Yu said: "Commander Xiao, do you want to know that this is not a grudge between the commander's brothers, but the overall situation, which needs to be understood?" "Understood!" For the headquarters to speed up the capture of Jingdezhen, it means that there must be major changes in Fujian, so Ouyang Jian decided to take a gamble. Even if you can't launch a strong attack in a dignified manner. The next day, Xiao Ke came to the forward command post of the 15th Division and personally commanded the offensive operation. Xiao Ke faced the sand table and studied it.

"Division Commander Chen's headquarters requires your division to capture the outer fortifications of Jingdezhen within 8 hours, and it is very difficult to attack the fortifications during the day, you must be mentally prepared!" Chen Ming's face was grim and said: "Please tell the commander that our division will guarantee to complete the task." "The time of the attack was 8 a.m., and I personally sat at the division headquarters." On the 2nd day preparations were ready, and the time for the attack came to the beginning of the artillery regiment. The fierce artillery fire began to cover the enemy's position, and on the artillery position, the artillery commander Zhu Dianwen personally commanded the artillery bombardment, and he wanted to give the commander a long face. After 10 minutes of shelling, artillery fire began to extend, and infantry attacks began.

"Report to the regiment commander, it has been half an hour since the infantry launched the attack, and the enemy's artillery fire has not moved." "Keep an eye on the enemy artillery, and if the enemy artillery position is exposed, lock on Chu Yuan immediately." According to the intelligence, it was learned that the 90th Division had only 4 mountain guns, so Zhu Dianwen ordered the 6 mountain guns to be on standby at all times to strike at the enemy's artillery positions at any time. The non-stop bombardment of 10 support guns was deafening, and the artillery soldiers on the positions were sweating bare-chested, and shells were constantly pouring down on the enemy positions.

"Report to the regiment commander, two enemy artillery pieces were found at 10 o'clock, ask for instructions." "Immediately lock Chu Yuan for 6 test shots!" Only two salvos were fired at 10 o'clock at the enemy's artillery dud. It is not difficult to see that the level of training of the artillery of the Red 5 Corps is N notches higher than that of the opponent. After another hour, at 3 o'clock the enemy two artillery pieces were completely silent. The enemy artillery was destroyed, clearing the way for the infantry to attack. Subsequently, according to the needs of the battlefield, the artillery regiment began to provide targeted artillery support.

In order to stick to the outlying fortifications, Ouyang Feng deployed his descendant 225th Brigade at the front, and he also personally commanded the operation at the brigade headquarters. In less than an hour after the attack, the two artillery pieces of the department were destroyed, allowing Ouyang Feng to see the power of the opponent's artillery. Three hours later, the only two mountain guns were dumb again, and Ouyang Feng's defensive confidence began to waver. Although the Red Army infantry attacked slowly, it was very orderly, and with Meng's violent explosions, the pillboxes in front were cleared one by one.

"Divisional seats, the Red Army threw in about two battalions of troops, launched an attack in the middle of the line of defense, and used demolition tactics. Forward commanders reported that the Red Army was using explosive packs and that the explosions were powerful. The commander of the 225th Brigade said worriedly. I observed the enemy's attack, and at this rate I took the outlying positions for eight hours, and ordered the brethren to defend stubbornly. Ouyang Feng cheered. At this time, a large amount of smoke appeared in front of him, covering the sky and the sun. "Immediately ask the forward troops, why is there a large cloud of smoke?" Soon the forward commander reported that the Red Army threw smoke grenades.

Ouyang Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and the smoke bombs appeared on the battlefield, which meant that the defending soldiers in the fortress could not see the enemy soldiers clearly, which also meant that the Red Army had a way to deal with the fortifications of the fortress. Accompanied by the violent explosion, the roar made Ouyang Feng's heart ache, and the explosion also meant that the fortifications of the fortress were cleared one by one. At this time, Ouyang Feng understood why his brother dared to gamble with him, and he seemed to feel deceived. The defending troops in the forward position kept coming from the voices of crying for help, but Ouyang Feng was indifferent.

Red Army artillery support ceased, mortar fire was incessant. **The explosion was very dull, and after the explosion formed a large cloud of smoke, covering the continuous advance of the attacking troops. The 13th Division Headquarters, Nei Xiaoke, saw the thick smoke billowing from the battlefield and praised: "I didn't expect the smoke bombs to play such a big role, and ordered the troops to expand to both sides." Send a report to the corps headquarters that there is no problem in taking the outlying fortifications in 8 hours. Sure enough, when the attacking forces expanded to both sides, Ouyang Feng knew that the general trend was gone, and ordered the defensive troops of the outer fortifications to retreat.

"Report to the commander, Xiao Ke reported, 5 hours and 40 minutes for all enemy troops to withdraw from the outlying fortifications, and our troops stopped attacking." Everyone in the legion headquarters immediately became excited when they heard this. Ouyang Jian said very calmly: "Order Xiao Ke to send a letter to Ouyang Feng, in order to avoid senseless killing, ask him to withdraw from Jingdezhen tomorrow morning, our department will keep its promise, otherwise our department will launch a full-front attack." Everyone looked at Ouyang Jian silently, this was a gamble after all, and they didn't know if the enemy army would follow the rules and retreat next.

In the Jingdezhen division headquarters, the chief of staff took the letter from the Red Army's front-line command and said: "Ouyang Jian is too naïve, there is no commitment on the battlefield. Division, we understand the number of enemy routes, and the next step of defense can be targeted. Ouyang Feng stared at the chief of staff with wide eyes, as if he didn't know him. Master, do you really want to retreat? "I'm a soldier, and I'm a good promise. I was convinced, and naturally I had to keep my promise. The troops were ordered to prepare immediately and withdraw from Jingdezhen by the early hours of tomorrow. ”

"Ouyang Feng, you have vowed to live and die with Jingdezhen, don't forget your oath! If you retreat without permission, you are collaborators! The chief of staff roared. At this time and that time, it is not a pity for me Ouyang Feng to die, but I have to think about the more than 10,000 brothers under my command. As for the consequences, I will take responsibility! "I'm going to report to Nanking and send you to a court-martial!" Ouyang Feng pulled out his pistol and shot the chief of staff and said: "Send a report to Commander-in-Chief Wei, our unit was forced to withdraw from Jingdezhen after bloody fighting, and the chief of staff bravely sacrificed his life in the face of enemy artillery fire. ”

At this time, the commander of the 225th Brigade simply pulled out his pistol and fired continuously, and several henchmen under the chief of staff were killed. "Master, dead people can't speak." Ouyang Feng waved his hand, and the dead body was dragged out. "Report, Commander Wei called us to defend tenaciously and fight until every soldier!" "Report! All the fighters at the eastern airfield were withdrawn! Ouyang Feng took the telegram and tore it to pieces: "Order the troops to start retreating before midnight." In addition, send a letter to the front command of the Red Army, our department will keep its promise and withdraw from Jingdezhen tomorrow morning! ”

At dawn, Ouyang Jian's figure appeared in Jingdezhen. Looking at the chaotic scene of the division headquarters silently, the portrait of Lao Jiang on the wall with a Zhongzheng sword was crooked, and the guard pony said: "Look, Lao Jiang is still angry, I burned the portrait!" "Can't burn! Put away the portrait and keep it safe, we are communists, not villains, there is no need to take the portrait out of anger. Su Yu saw that Ouyang Jian was a little depressed and said, "Commander, with all due respect, don't you want to meet Ouyang Feng?" ”

Ouyang Jian shook his head and said: "Different paths do not conspire with each other, maybe one day our brothers will appear on the battlefield of the anti-aggression war, maybe at that time we can release the past suspicions." "Report, call from headquarters, the situation has changed, suspend all military operations! In addition, it was reported that the Red Fourth Front Army suffered heavy losses, and the Central Military Commission ordered the Red Fourth Front Army to abandon the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area and move to the Shaanxi-Gansu base area. Ouyang Jian immediately guessed that the Fujian incident was ahead of schedule, and letting the Red 4th Front Army retreat to the Shaanxi and Gansu base areas was completely Runzhi's strategic strategy.

Seeing that Ouyang Jian was silent, everyone did not ask. The Military Commission ordered the Red 4th Front Army to move to the Shaanxi and Gansu base areas, and a similar scene in history appeared, but it was only similar. This shows that Runzhi has fully seen the hope of peace talks and started the strategic layout, and it is the right time to order the Red 4th Front Army to move to the Shaanxi and Gansu base areas at this time, otherwise there will be no chance. "Order the troops to rest on the spot and cease all military operations." After Su Yu took the telegram and read it, he hesitated for a while and said: "Commander, the Forest Department has not launched the Quanzhou Campaign in Fujian for a long time, I judge that the 19th Route Army has changed?" ”

Ouyang Jian looked at Su Yu with satisfaction and nodded, "You can see this, it means that your strategic vision has improved a lot." Yes, the situation may change abruptly, so let's wait for good news! "As expected. On June 20, three days after the capture of Jingdezhen, a telegram sent to the whole country shocked the land of China, and the military and political leaders of Fujian, headed by Jiang Guangding, Cai Tingkai, Chen Mingshu, and Li Jishen, jointly sent a telegram against the generals, and proposed to negotiate peacefully with the Soviet government, stop the civil war, promote the formation of a united front, and unite with the outside world.

Subsequently, the Soviet Government also sent a telegram to fully accept Fujian's proposal for peace talks, and urged the Nationalist Government to immediately withdraw all troops from Jiangxi and start peace talks. Fujian's anti-Chiang telegram undoubtedly dropped a bombshell and immediately produced a strong earthquake in the land of China. In fact, this was the result that Ouyang Jian needed the most, and it was also the result he dreamed of.
