In the evening, Mu Shixiong brought back a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man was very excited when he saw Ouyang Jian: "Senior Commander Ouyang, your name has spread throughout Jiangxi, and I don't know how to express it if I am fortunate to see you today." "Comrade, my Ouyang Jian is nothing remarkable, and the victory is all due to the bravery and skill of the Red Army soldiers. They are not afraid of sacrifice and are firm in their beliefs, which is why they are in today's situation. If you want to say who are heroes, our Red Army soldiers are the real heroes, and you are also heroes in the struggle against the enemy on the invisible front. ”

"Master Ouyang, you are too modest, there is a legend in the market that you can pinch and calculate, saying that if you want to hit the left eye with a magic spear, you will never hit the right eye, and it is also said that you are ······." "I said comrade. If I can pinch it, do I need to ask you about the situation? Don't follow the crowd. Closer to home, I need the details of the enemy forces. The crowd burst into hearty laughter. The embarrassed smile on the comeder returned to seriousness: "After the call from the Dark Arrow Headquarters, we immediately started to understand the enemy's garrison. Half a month ago, the 22nd Division of the Central Army entered the eastern region. ”

"According to the information we have, the 22nd Division and the 64th Brigade of the Central Army, including the division headquarters and the division headquarters guard regiment, are stationed in Jingdezhen, with a strength of 5,000 troops. The commander of the 22nd Division of the Central Army is called Zhou Zhe. 10 days ago, the 12th Brigade of the Jiangxi Army withdrew to Jingdezhen and was forcibly incorporated by the 22nd Division, and the strength of the 12th Brigade of the Jiangxi Army was 3,000 people. The 22nd Brigade of the 65th Division was stationed in Shangyao, with a strength of 4,000 men. The 66th Brigade of the 22nd Division is stationed in Yingtan with a strength of 4,000 people, and the 7th Division of the Jiangxi Army has a regiment also stationed in Yingtan with a strength of 1,000 people. ”

The visitor said Su Yu while marking the situation on the map. The person who came took a sip of water and continued: "10 days ago, the independent brigade of the Jiangxi army in Wannian County moved to Duchang County, and the strength of the independent brigade of the Jiangxi army was 3,500 people, and this is the situation. Ouyang Jian quickly looked up the location of Duchang County on the map and said excitedly: "This is the situation I want to know the most." Comrades, how important is accurate military intelligence, now you know it! "Division commander, you want to eat the independent brigade of the Jiangxi Army in one bite, but our strength is limited!" Su Yu was a little worried.

Ouyang Jian did not answer Su Yu's inquiry in time, and ordered the people to rest and said: "Order the officers above the battalion level to come and hold a military meeting as soon as possible to draw up a battle plan." Soon, the officers above the three regiments and battalions were in place, and everyone inquired one after another, and everyone had excited expressions on their faces. Ouyang Jian stood up when he saw that everyone had arrived, and everyone was suddenly silent, and their eyes were all aimed at Ouyang Jian. "Comrades, Deputy Division Commander Fang Caisu has raised the question well, the fat pig of the Independent Brigade is too big, how we can eat it is a big problem, in a word, whether our belly can be digested is the key to the problem."

The crowd burst into laughter again. "Again, by surprise and unpreparedness, at present we are a surprise army, and the enemy army does not know that we have entered the east. In particular, the independent brigade of the Jiangxi army, which was beaten to the ground by Zhu Mao in the Jinggangshan area, has left a shadow psychologically. The Jiangxi army, including the Central Army, is not good at night warfare, and our strength is that we have practiced night combat during military training. I'm afraid everyone hasn't forgotten the night battle in Yunshui County. I said it very clearly, Su Yu, you come up with a battle plan. ”

Su Yu's eyebrows immediately fluttered when he heard the night battle, and a smile bloomed on his face, and Ouyang Jian saw the clue so he ordered the general. Su Yu stood up and walked to the military map and said: "The division commander woke up the dreamer with a word, and we can completely eat the independent brigade of the Jiangxi Army by using a night attack." You can see that the west of Duchang County is backwater, and the north and southeast stretch out to the land, and our three regiments are distributed in the north and southeast, so the problem of insufficient troops has been solved. I suggested that the special combat team infiltrate the county town to respond, one regiment should enter the county town in the north or south direction, and two regiments would not move outside the city, so that they could completely annihilate the fleeing enemy troops in the field. ”

Xiao Ke said: "It's best to attack his headquarters and leave the Gan army leaderless." "Good! That's it! Mu Shixiong! "Here!" "Your special combat team will set off overnight by water, and will blend into the city at the dock in Duchang County tomorrow morning. Your mission is to secretly seize the North Gate and attack the headquarters of the Independent Brigade. The action is scheduled for midnight tomorrow, and you can go now. "After Mu Shixiong left. Ouyang Jian continued: "Su Yu led a group to ambush at the north gate, and after the special combat team secretly captured the north gate, you quickly attacked the city and rushed violently. Xiao Ke's department was ambushed at the south gate, and Zhang Shiying's department and I were ambushed at the east gate. ”

Ouyang Jian continued: "Deputy Division Commander Su, you will command this battle!" "Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! Ouyang Jian took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and continued: "It's 8 o'clock in the evening, and the troops will set off in an hour." Soon after, the large army bid farewell to the water guerrillas and set out eastward at night. Lao Ye Temple is a peninsula to be precise, shaped like steamed buns stretching out into the lake. Lao Ye Temple and Duchang County are not far away in a straight line, but they are separated by a narrow lake, and the lake stretches inland in a U-shape. If you reach Duchang County from Lao Ye Temple, you must bypass the U-shaped lakeshore, which is nearly twice as farther.

The Dark Arrow officer was familiar with Duchang County, so he followed the special combat team. The two cargo ships arrived at the dock in Duchang County at about 4 a.m. Duchang County Wharf is the largest wharf on the east bank of Poyang Lake and has a long history. It should be said that this is the cargo distribution center on the east coast of Poyang Lake. At 4 o'clock in the morning, it was already dawn, and the docks began to get busy. The guard of the Gan army on the wharf was not very strict, because there was Poyang Lake as a barrier, and it was impossible for the Red Army on the other side to come here, so the Gan army could sit back and relax.

Mu Shixiong and his team members dressed as fishermen, carrying baskets full of fresh fish and hiding their weapons in the baskets. After a very easy check, he mixed with the soldiers standing guard and blended into the city. The Dark Arrow Guide leads them to a secret location to hide. This secret location is a grocery store, and its location in the downtown area does not arouse suspicion. The team members slept for a few hours, Mu Shixiong led people to the north gate to investigate, and Dabao led people to the independent brigade of the Jiangxi Army to investigate. In the evening, Mu Shixiong and Dabao returned to the grocery store to meet.

Mu Shixiong said: "Our main task is to seize the east gate, and the secondary task is to attack the enemy's brigade headquarters. After my observation, there was a platoon of soldiers guarding the east gate, and the guard was very lax. I led the first and second detachments to secretly seize the east gate, and you led the third detachment to attack the Jiangxi army brigade headquarters. Your mission is mainly to disrupt the Gan army brigade headquarters and let him command the chaos, and you must not act recklessly with a hot head. "Captain, I remember." Then Mu Shixiong ordered everyone to rest and recharge their energy for the midnight battle.

In the evening, the sound of the piano sounded in the headquarters of the independent brigade of the Jiangxi Army, a woman's singing voice was very beautiful, and the unique and melodious melody of Jiangnan Yue Opera was intoxicating. At this time, Yang Chisheng, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Jiangxi Army, closed his eyes and shook his head in appreciation. Opposite, a young woman wearing heavy makeup played the piano and sang at the same time. Yang Chisheng has a small face and is about 30 years old. Yang Chisheng was beaten by his old classmate Zhu De in Jinggang Mountain, and he collapsed. At the end of the year, it was reorganized into an independent brigade, his number was gone, no one was waiting to see the general of the defeated army, and the division commander became a brigade commander. The headquarters were also withdrawn from the front to the rear, and as long as they did not fight the Red Army, they did not complain about being demoted.

has been dormant in Wannian County for more than a year, and this guy is even a little lucky. After the Central Army was stationed, he felt safer. As for the territory, he doesn't care anymore. Yang Chisheng saw very clearly that sooner or later this piece of Jiangxi belonged to Lao Chiang, and the Central Army was stationed to fight against the Red Army. The commander-in-chief, Wang Jun, was eaten by the Red Army two brigades in succession, and he even gloated a little. In these years, if you have milk, you are a mother, and the 12th Brigade was incorporated into him, and he was a little red-eyed, and he could not only eat and drink spicy food with the Central Army, but also maybe grow stronger.

When Zhou Zhe, commander of the 22nd Division of the Central Army, ordered the independent brigade to be stationed in Duchang County and serve as the eastern defense of Poyang Lake. Yang Chisheng didn't say a word, and led the troops to move to Duchang County immediately. As long as you don't fight against the Red Army, you can do any drudgery, maybe you will perform well, and that day you will be adapted by Lao Chiang. In fact, he was wrong, the general of the defeated army, if his troops were reorganized, would also be scattered, the Nanjing Military Commission already had this reorganization plan, but there was no place for him in the reorganization plan.

At this time, Yang Chisheng was listening to it as if he was drunk, and a subordinate walked in to report: "Report, the chief of staff has returned from Jingdezhen!" Yang Chisheng immediately opened his eyes when he heard this, and waved his hand at the woman who was singing, and the woman immediately stopped singing and left. At this time, the chief of staff walked in, "Chief of Staff! Good news? The chief of staff said with a happy face: "Brigade commander, Division Commander Zhou informed that the current war in the Central Plains is tense, and it is the time for us to serve the party and the state. ”

"Good news, Chief of Staff, I want to reward you. Come on, immediately put the wine and food, I want to come to him to get drunk and rest. Yang Chisheng had a pleasant temperament and drank a few more glasses, and fell into a sweet dream early. However, it occurred to him that this night's dream had turned into a nightmare, and his future had been completely ruined. The night is getting deeper, Wan Lai is silent, and Duchang County seems to have entered a dormant state. Occasionally, a few dog barks can be heard, bringing a touch of life to the silent night. It rained again in the middle of the night, and the rustling sound of the rain was like a lullaby, making the dream even longer.

The rain was pouring continuously, and Su Yu led his troops to the north of Duchang County, he was wet, and the rain soaked through his military uniform. Su Yu didn't seem to care, he glanced at his pocket watch with a flashlight, and there was still an hour before midnight. "Deputy division commander, the troops have been hidden on the spot, and the assault team is moving closer to the city gate." In the dark, Han Chu, the head of the regiment, reported. "Send a report to Zhang Shiying and Xiao Ke and ask them about their situation." Soon Zhang Shiying and Xiao Ke called back, and the department had entered a hidden position at the east gate and the south gate respectively.

Su Yu's eyes looked ahead, and he knew that the assault team was quietly approaching the city gate. The assault team was about a company of soldiers, and they crawled through the muddy water, slowly approaching the city gates. The north gate of Zhang Shiying's department is a little far away, about 2,000 meters away from the city gate. At this time, Ouyang Jian was sleeping soundly, and he saw that he was very idle. Since you have given the command to Su Yu, do not interfere with his command. Ouyang Jian instructed Zhang Shiying not to disturb him until he had to.

When the time for action came, inside the north city gate, Mu Shixiong ordered in a low voice: "The cover group is ready, and the action group is attacking!" In the dark, several team members quickly jumped forward and touched forward, and the covering group raised their guns and aimed at the city gate, and the operation to seize the city gate began.
