Chapter 55: Resistance Battle
At the beginning of October, the autumn tiger is still powerful, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn is high and cool. The 16th and 17th Brigades of the 6th Division of the Jiangxi Army, under the personal command of the division commander Wang Jun, came to Yunshui County on the left and right. Wang Jun sat on the left flank and commanded the 16th Brigade to advance day and night. The main road was dusty, and the soldiers advanced in 4-way columns. A group of war horses in the Chinese army stand out from the crowd, and they are immediately the officials who will shine brightly. At this time, division commander Wang Jun was riding on a horse and was thinking about how to exterminate the "red bandits" within a month.
At present, Liu Shiyi is being beaten, and the Red Army has taken root in Ruijin. Now a strong Red Army has emerged in the Jiujiang area, and the great cause of the party-state has fallen on his shoulders, which makes Wang Jun feel a lot of pressure. He knew in his heart that the pressure on Commander Zhu was even greater, and at present, Commander-in-Chief Jiang had no time to take care of the turmoil in Jiangxi, and if he did not perform well, the Jiangxi army might not be able to gain a foothold in Jiangxi, so Wang Jun led his troops to attack this time, not only to exterminate the red bandits, but more importantly, Jiangxi's territory could not be lost.
Before leaving, he received a telegram from Zhu Peide from Nanjing, specifically instructing him that if the battle was unfavorable, the Central Army could enter Jiangxi in a grand manner. "Commander-in-chief, at present, the 17th Division of the Central Army is not leaving Wucheng, and it is called a joint attack, but it is not contributing. If we don't fight well, and the Central Army comes in a few more divisions, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to handle!" The chief of staff guessed Wang Jun's thoughts and knew that the commander-in-chief was preoccupied at the moment.
"I just can't understand how Ouyang Jian's name has become the climate. The fool of the military council is simply blind, and it is a big joke to even reorganize him. This time we lost a regiment, and it was the Nanchang side that had a problem. The arrest and surrender of a communist member with knowledge of the inside story aroused Ouyang Jian's vigilance. This kid is not simple, we must be careful. What's the place ahead? "The front is a ghost and a sorrow, and after the ghost is sorrowful, you will reach Yunshui County after walking for half a day!" "Order the troops to speed up! Strive to reach Yunshui County before dark. Also check what position the 17th Brigade on the right flank reached. ”
Two days ago, the Gan army had been dispatched from Jiujiang, and Ouyang Jian got the news. At the military meeting, Mao Zetan, Zhang Hanfu, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqiang were seated. Ouyang Jian looked around at everyone: "Wang Jun is the commander-in-chief of the Jiujiang region, and the 6th Division is his descendant, and at the same time controls the 5th Division. He is Zhu Peide's favorite general and is deeply respected by Zhu Peide. This time, he led his troops to recruit in person, and he did not stop until he achieved his goal. Wang Jun was born in ・・・・・・. This man is very cunning and experienced in combat, and I am ready to stop him in the event of a dismount. ”
"In a blocking war, are we too few troops, what if we are entangled by the enemy?" Mao Zetan said worriedly. "What the political commissar said makes sense, we should withdraw to Tongluo Village and defend Tongluo Village with all our might." Zhang Hanfu agreed. "It's not really about positional warfare, it's about running and running, so that he thinks we don't dare to fight head-on. If he does not move in Yunshui County, it will be bad for us. The purpose of provoking him is to get him to attack the Causeway, so that we can drag him down and at the same time allow the guerrilla warfare to be effective. ”
It's not a dangerous place, it's just that it's just strange and terrifying. It is said that when the wind blows at night, it makes a whimpering sound as if a group of demons are dancing, so people rarely pass by here at night. After on-the-spot investigation, Ouyang Jian decided to fight a battle in Ghost Sight. Before the battle, Luo Ronghuan was on the left and Song Shiqiang was on the right front to intercept the enemy, so that the enemy would think that this was the blocking position.
"Do you see that high point, where is your special combat team ambushed, after the battle starts, your target is the enemy's mortar, remember not to let the enemy's mortar force." Ouyang Jian continued: "After you defeat the enemy's mortar position, retreat, and you are not allowed to fight." Go west and then detour back here to join us, understand? "Understood!" Mu Shixiong waved his hand and led his subordinates to leave.
Soon the reconnaissance unit reported that the enemy troops had entered the ghost and were about 1 km away. Ouyang Jian gave the order to prepare for battle, and the soldiers quickly hidden. They wear camouflaged weeds and branches on their heads, and the camouflage blends in with their surroundings. Soon the enemy sprites appeared, and they were very alert, constantly looking ahead and to the sides.
The blocking position is exactly in a semi-arc with the road, and the enemy on the road is clear at a glance. After the enemy's spearhead passed, a large group of men followed, and dust rose from the road and spread in the wind. Ouyang Jian seems to have developed a habit of never leaving his spear, and being a commander is out of place. He put the crosshair on a horse officer and gently pulled the trigger. With a crisp sound of gunfire, the enemy officer on his horse fell from his horse. The sound of gunfire was an order, and suddenly light and heavy machine guns opened fire first, and 8 mortars also began to bombard. A dense rain of bullets swept towards the enemy troops, exploding in the ranks of the enemy troops. Black smoke suddenly covered the road.
The enemy forces were in disarray, quickly dispersed to meet the battle, and fierce gunfire rang out. "Report to the division commander, the forward troops reported that they were blocked by the enemy. Judging by the firepower, the enemy strength was about two battalions. "An officer galloped to report." Order the forward regiment to organize fire and launch an offensive! "Wang Jun dismounted and raised his binoculars to check, but the terrain ahead was complicated and his vision was blocked, so he couldn't see clearly at all." Commander-in-chief, the enemy army has 2,000 people, and there are only two battalions in front of the blockade, beware of deception! The Chief of Staff spoke.
"The enemy is slowing down our attack, and orders the 42nd Regiment to send a battalion to seize the hill on the right. The 17 Brigade on the left was ordered to speed up its advance and copy their rear route. Wang Jun seemed very calm, and he could see that he was a battle-hardened person. The commander of the forward regiment received an order to attack and immediately organized a return of fire, and at the same time ordered the mortars to take position. Soon the enemy began to launch an offensive and slowly attacked in a scattered line. However, their light and heavy machine guns formed a crossfire, and the attacking enemy soldiers were hindered and had to lie on the ground and wait for mortar fire support.
The enemy mortar crews acted with agility and quickly set up mortars ready to fire. About 300 meters to the west, Mu Shixiong aimed his crosshair at an officer and pulled the trigger, and the officer fell to the ground. The enemy gunners were a little dazed, and before they could see what was going on, they were shot one after another. When it became clear that there was an ambush on the west side, the gunners were knocked down by a dozen or so. Some of the remaining gunners lay on the spot, and some ran away. When the enemy sensed the attack, the gunners were left with few casualties. A group of enemy troops moved quickly and came towards the goal.
Mu Shixiong calmly killed another gunner lying on the ground, and then ordered a retreat. Ouyang Jian saw that the enemy's mortars were slow to bombard, and knew that Mu Shixiong had succeeded. I took out my pocket watch and glanced at it, and the blocking battle was exactly an hour. "Order to stop shooting and retreat!" Ouyang Jian decisively gave the order. The gunfire suddenly stopped, and the charging enemy lay on the ground without knowing the truth, and still did not dare to charge rashly. The enemy army reorganized mortar bombardment, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, there was still no movement in the front, and the forward regiment commander ordered a charge.
The enemy soldiers cautiously rushed forward, and in addition to the abandoned bullet casings, there were still figures on the position. The forward regimental commander was obviously frightened by the battle just now and did not give the order to pursue. Soon, the division commander Wang Jun led the division headquarters up. Seeing the dead bodies and soldiers all over the ground, Wang Junqi's face turned pale. "Report to the division commander, the enemy has retreated. In the battle, the enemy firepower was fierce, and I suffered more than 100 casualties, one battalion commander was killed, and two company commanders were wounded. "Ouyang Jian is really extraordinary, this is to give me a dismount and order the troops to pursue!"
After dark, 5 from the ground in Yunshui County, the 16th Brigade and the 17th Brigade led by Wang Jun joined the division. After some tossing, I cautiously entered Yunshui County in the middle of the night. At this time, there was not a single soldier in Yunshui County, and what was waiting for them was an "empty city". Wang Junqi's face turned even whiter, and he ordered to send a report to Nanjing, our army was invincible, the enemy army was defeated and fled, and Yunshui County was recovered. Recapturing Yunshui County is also a great achievement, and he must make a big noise. As for the ambush that was beaten depressed and wrecked, there was no mention of it.
After Ouyang Jian ordered a retreat, he went straight to Tongluo Village. On the road, the soldiers sang and laughed, and the morale of the soldiers was even higher. Luo Ronghuan, Song Renqiang and Ouyang Jian went hand in hand. "Column leader, the battle just now is that the enemy is tired and I fight! Now that the enemy is advancing and I am retreating, what tactics will we use next? "The enemy will definitely attack Tongluo Village in a big way, how can we stop the enemy's attack. At present, Tongluozhai is our base. The column commander is confident, and he must have a clever plan, whether you can reveal it to us. Song Renqiang couldn't help but ask.
Ouyang Jian smiled: "I asked you what is more than Jiuhua Mountain?" "There are many trees, and there are many stones!" Song Renqiao came without thinking. Luo Ronghuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Two months ago, you asked Tan Song to hire a large number of stonemasons, could it be to create stone mines?" "Stones are also treasures and weapons, and I talked about mine warfare tactics during the assault training, so I don't need to say more." Luo Ronghuan and Song Renqiang looked at each other, and couldn't help but dance with their eyebrows.
"Column leader, where did you come up with your wonderful ideas, everyone is happy today, tell us how many ways you have to deal with the enemy!" Zhang Hanfu was infected and opened his eyes wide with curiosity. "Good! I'm going to show off some ・・・・・・ today. Everyone was intoxicated by Ouyang Jian's wonderful and incredible guerrilla warfare tactics, especially for sticking to Tongluo Village.
Mao Zetan shouted excitedly: "Comrades, do you remember the song that the column commander taught and sang? "Remember!" Resonate around. "Then sing it out loud and move forward, forward, forward!" "Our team is facing the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the nation, and we are an invincible force ・・・・・・."
