That night, the wind was bitterly cold, and the wilderness was shrouded in chaos. At the south gate of Yunshui County, Ouyang Jian led his troops to appear here. The Gan army used siege tactics in an attempt to cut off Tongluo Village from the outside world. During the day, the Gan army was active in various passages, and at night all the turtles retreated into Yunshui County. Wang Jun seemed to have mastered Ouyang Jian's tactics, and in order to prevent a sneak attack, all the officers and soldiers of the two brigades were stationed in the county seat. During the day, the Gan army operated as a combat unit, and Ouyang Jian had no chance to attack, but at night, the Gan army all retreated back to the county seat, and the rats did not move.

Since he could not attack on a large scale, Ouyang Jian decided to send a small force to harass him, and at the same time use this opportunity to train his troops. Ouyang Jian reintegrated the second and fourth detachments, supplemented all the captive soldiers of more than 200 people into the troops, and formed four companies. Each time two companies were acted, Ouyang Jian asked the chief and deputy commanders of the detachment to participate in the whole process and personally experience the battle process. In addition, Zhu Dianwen's artillery team also dispatched a squad to debate the battle, so as to increase their combat experience.

Outside the South City Gate at night, Ouyang Jian, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqian held binoculars to observe the city gate. The sentries and swimming sentinels of the Gan army on the city wall could not be seen very clearly under the dim swaying horse lamps. Mao Zetan and several political commissars were quietly discussing in the back, looking very excited.

Soon a dozen black shadows appeared in front of him, "Report to the column leader, the mines have been laid." "The minelaying detachment has returned from its mission." Captain Mu, it's time for you to act. Mu Shixiong waved his hand and led his men to touch forward. The special combat team has added 6 new blood. Ouyang Jian personally selected 6 soldiers with sniper potential among the captives. These captives are excellent marksmen within 100 meters. However, beyond 100 meters, they are not up to standard, because they have never been trained as snipers, especially they have no concept of wind speed, angle, and temperature changes.

After Ouyang Jian's personal guidance, the six soldiers made rapid progress, and at a distance of 200 meters and with the help of the scope, they were able to make no mistakes. The time was frozen at 22 o'clock, and there were a few crisp gunshots in front of him, Ouyang Jian saw in the telescope that the sentries on the city wall were shot and fell, and soon the enemy extinguished all the horse lanterns, and then the sound of crane guns sounded on the city wall. At a certain battlement on the city wall, a heavy machine gunner of the Gan army was strafing aimlessly, when suddenly the machine gunner fell on his back, and the radiant hand hurriedly filled the gap.

The heavy machine gun opened fire again, followed by a dumb fire from the heavy machine gun, and the radiant hand was seen lying on the handle. When an officer saw that the deputy shooter had been shot in the head, he shouted: "The red bandit has a shooter, immediately move the machine-gun position." "Many of the soldiers at the battlement were shot, and many of them hid their heads and put their guns away. Ouyang Jian put down his glasses and said, "Order Mu Shixiong to retreat, and the troops will enter the position." The enemy was frightened by the sniper fire, and although the gunfire was dense, they fired indiscriminately. I judged that the enemy forces were going to be dispatched. ”

In the headquarters of the Chengjiang Army in Yunshui County, Wang Jun received a report from the guard troops, and his nose was almost crooked. "It's just too deceitful, immediately order the 17th Brigade to send a battalion to be sure to strangle the shooters of the red bandits." About half an hour later, the gates of the city were opened, and a battalion of Gan troops rushed out. The impact of the Gan army was very fierce, and suddenly the fire flashed, and the mine exploded, and the explosions continued one after another, and the soldiers of the Gan army who exploded were staggered. Ouyang Jian ordered to fire, and suddenly a volley of light and heavy firepower was fired, and the Gan army left behind the dead and wounded soldiers, and retreated into the city in embarrassment.

"Order the troops to retreat!" Ouyang Jian said decisively. "Column leader, the Gan army will definitely attack, why retreat!" Song Ren was confused. "If you don't retreat, you're going to eat cannonballs!" Sure enough, within a few minutes of the troops leaving the position, dozens of ** fell on the position. The soldiers looked at the fire that exploded on the position and marveled at the wisdom of the column leader. The troops entered a forest, and Ouyang Jian ordered the troops to rest. The officers and men were very excited and did not feel sleepy at all, and everyone relived the battle of Fang Cai with a big mouth.

Under a tree, Ouyang Jian sat down and closed his eyes, and political commissar Mao Zetan came over and sat down. "Commissar, it's almost 3 o'clock in the morning, let's sleep for a while." "There's sleepiness there, how are we going to attack tomorrow night?" "I haven't thought about it now, and it will be decided according to the investigation during the day." Mao Zetan looked at Ouyang Jian's tired face and said distressedly: "Captain Column, you can sleep for a while, I'll walk around!" On the other side, Luo Ronghuan recorded the battle process and Ouyang Jian's command in detail with the help of the horse lantern, and mixed his own comments. At present, Luo Ronghuan has developed a habit, and he will not let go of any move by Ouyang Jian.

Outside the south gate of Yunshui County, the commander-in-chief Wang Jun led the generals to check. Seeing the dead soldiers and wounded soldiers, and seeing the scene of chaos, his face turned pale. "Commander-in-chief, Ouyang Jian is too cunning and uses frequent harassment tactics, which makes us at a loss." The chief of staff said apprehensively. "Order the troops to rest during the day and be on standby at night." Wang Jun was depressed and turned to leave, and the generals followed. During the day, the Gan army did not move, and Wang Jun in the headquarters said to the generals: "Tonight, Ouyang Jian will continue to attack, do you judge, Ouyang Jian will appear in that direction?" ”

The subordinates gossip, some say that the red bandits will appear at the north gate, some say that the red bandits will appear at the east gate, and some say that the red bandits will also appear at the south gate. Wang Jun pointed to the map of Yunshui County and said: "The three city gates in the north and southeast are all likely to be attacked. Now I have decided to concentrate the artillery fire on the north and south gates, the guard regiment at the east gate, and the mobile troops in the north and south. If Ouyang Jian chooses to attack on the south and north side of the gate, we choose to return fire with artillery fire. During the day, each artillery company had to calculate the area covered by artillery fire, and I didn't believe that Ouyang Jian could block the artillery attack. ”

Wang Jun said slyly: "If Ouyang Jian chooses to attack at the East Gate, the mobile forces at the North and South Gates will immediately dispatch to attack left and right. "The commander-in-chief is smart!" A subordinate liked. Not to mention how the Gan army arranged the troops, Ouyang Jian said to everyone: "The reconnaissance detachment reported that as of noon, the Gan army did not send a single soldier, obviously the enemy is going all out to deal with the night attack. Now I analyze it from the enemy's point of view. Ouyang Jian unfolded the distribution map of Yunshui County and paved it on a stone.

"If I were Wang Jun, I would have a lot of troops in my hands. In order to avoid casualties, artillery fire will be placed at the north and south gates, and mobile forces will be deployed at the north and south gates. If we choose to attack at the east gate, the Gan army will mobilize troops at the north and south gates, forming a flanking attack on the left and right. Luo Ronghuan! "Here!" "You're here to direct the battle tonight, how to attack? How to arrange troops? Luo Ronghuan pondered for a moment and said: "I suggest that the special combat team attack the east gate and attract the Jiangxi army from the north and south gates. ”

Ouyang Jian nodded with a smile and signaled to continue, Luo Ronghuan continued: "We will target the roundabout troops of the Jiangxi army, and ambush the main force on the roundabout line of the Jiangxi army southeast of the south gate, and catch him by surprise." "Very good, the command tonight will be handed over to you!" It is gold that will definitely shine, and Luo Ronghuan has matured in the war, which makes Ouyang Jian most pleased. Sure enough, Wang Jun went to the road, and the special combat team launched an attack at the east gate that night, and Wang Jun immediately ordered mobile troops to be dispatched at the north and south gates.

The result can be imagined, the 17th Brigade at the South Gate dispatched a regiment of mobile forces and was ambushed on the roundabout route of the South Gate. The Gan army first stepped on the mines, and then under the blow of light and heavy firepower and the bombardment of the artillery detachment, they paid a heavy price and retreated to the city in embarrassment. Wang Jun suffered a big loss and did not dare to act rashly, and the next attack became one-sided, and later Ouyang Jian ordered the rotating company to attack during the day. After 20 days, the Jiangxi army was tortured and unbearable, and some of the Jiangxi soldiers even chose to escape.

In late December, at the headquarters of the Jiangxi Army in Yunshui County, all the generals and officers were languishing and depressed. "Damn, I just don't understand, the red bandits are iron-beaten, and they have been attacking for more than 20 days in a row, and they are getting more and more intense, so hard that they don't eat the fireworks of the world?" One of the generals was hoarse. "This is Ouyang Jian's cleverness. He used rotational attacks, dispatching two companies at a time, and by the time we figured it out, it was too late. Wang Jun's face was pale, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be weak, he had been tortured and overwhelmed.

"Commander-in-chief, the red bandits have attacked continuously, and our unit has suffered more than 500 casualties, and the soldiers are exhausted. At present, standing guard and sentry must be drawn lots, and more than 100 soldiers deserted. If we are not defeated, we will be dragged down. Three telegrams were sent to the commander, but there has been no news so far, what does the commander think? "The chief of staff complained." The army commander also has difficulties, and at present, the Central Army is going all out to deal with Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, which is logically good news for us. But we ・・・・・・. Wang Jun couldn't go on.

"Report, call from Nanjing!" A communications officer made an urgent report. All the generals stood up when they heard this, and their eyes were all aimed at the telegram. After reading the telegram, Wang Jun's face immediately turned ruddy and refreshed: "The commander is wise. The army commander personally lobbied Bing to obtain the consent of the military committee and ordered our troops to withdraw to Jiujiang County. The Military Council ordered us to ensure the safe and smooth flow of the lines of communication between Jiujiang, De'an, and Yongxiu and Nanchang, and to ensure that the points and lines were not occupied by the Red Bandits. Everyone, prepare to retreat immediately! When the generals heard this, they were overjoyed and immediately prepared to go.

In the woods outside the city, Ouyang Jian was in a good mood and was taking a walk after lunch, and the reconnaissance detachment trotted all the way back to report: "Report to the column leader, the large army of the Jiangxi army has withdrawn from Yunshui County and is heading towards Jiujiang." "The Gan army wants to escape, the column leader, should pursue it quickly." "The art of war is cloudy, and the poor don't chase it. Ordered the troops to assemble, and we entered the county seat. The Red Army troops returned, and the people in the county spontaneously poured into the streets, and suddenly the county town of Yunshui fell silent in joy. The people's will cannot be bullied, so clear-cut.

On the same day, Ouyang Jian issued an order, ordering Su Yu, Xiao Ke, and Zhang Shiying to lead their troops to concentrate their forces north of De'an County, striving to eat a transport team of the Jiangxi army, and draw a successful end to the victory of the counter-offensive and suppression.
