In the headquarters of the Red Front Army, an operational staff officer received the telegram that had just been translated from a telegraph operator and shouted loudly: "Good news, good news, Commander Ouyang led his troops to set up an ambush in the Moon Valley and wiped out the 1st Cavalry Division, and none of the 5,000 people escaped the net. When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered. Zhu De said excitedly: "Runzhi, your judgment is very accurate, Ouyang Jian really aimed at the first cavalry division and was very courageous." The 1st Cavalry Division has been completely annihilated, and the enemy's 26th Route Army is probably making slower progress, and our opportunity has come. ”

Runzhi also said excitedly: "I said that Ouyang Jian would surprise us again, and sure enough, Ouyang Jian boldly went deep as soon as he left the division, and ate the two brigades of the enemy's 52nd Division cleanly, and then aimed at the First Cavalry Division in the west, which we did not expect." The key is that Ouyang Jian ate the First Cavalry Division in less than a day, creating a classic of infantry fighting cavalry. There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the subordinate is so strong, and the Fifth Army Corps has become a sharp steel knife in our hands, which will definitely make the enemy fearful. Immediately convey the good news of the annihilation of the 1st Cavalry Division to all units of the Red Army. ”

"Runzhi, it is recommended that the 1st Army Corps and the 5th Army Corps continue to mobilize the enemy's troops, according to our established strategy, do not be in a hurry, and once the fighters appear, they will be determined to strike at the enemy fiercely." "Yes! We have to be patient. I believe that it is necessary to change the original battle plan and ask the 1st and 3rd Army Corps to make a detailed analysis of the enemy's situation, so that as soon as a fighter plane appears, it will be immediately captured and annihilated. If the conditions are not met, continue to deal with the enemy army, and drag down the enemy army in the movement. "I agree, let's start with a new look at the specific combat plan."

The battle situation has taken a major turn, and Runzhi and Zhu De are no longer satisfied with the original battle plan, but want to destroy more of the enemy's living forces. As a result of Ouyang Jian's battle on the southern front, the enemy's deployment was completely disrupted, causing the main Red Army to be more comfortable and the enemy more cautious. As soon as the curtain of the second anti-encirclement and suppression was opened, the enemy's northern front fell into passivity, and the enemy's heavy troops seemed to be violent, but they could not use their strength, and in addition, the frequent sorties and transfers also made the enemy physically and mentally exhausted.

In the Nanchang Suppression General Headquarters, everyone was in a very depressed mood. Commander-in-Chief He Yingqin's face was as cold as ice, and all the generals were silent. "Report, Commander-in-Chief Chiang is calling!" A communications officer shouted loudly. He Yingqin was shocked and hurriedly took the telegram, only to see that the telegram read: Ouyang Jian is so arrogant, is it tolerable or unbearable. Be sure to gather Ouyang Jian to the south of Xinyu, there must be no mistake! Lao Chiang invisibly began to meddle in the front-line command again, which made the situation even worse.

After reading the telegram, He Yingqin ordered 7 divisions to rush to Xinyu, and at the same time ordered the 28th and 56th divisions on the Ji'an front line to intercept them in the south. Invisibly, two more divisions were transferred out to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Ouyang Kendo, which goes without saying what this means, which means that the pressure on the main Red Army has been sharply reduced, and it is more able to concentrate superior forces to fight a war of annihilation, and the original historical trajectory has changed greatly. The order was given, and the enemy army began to run for their lives again, He Yingqin looked at the map and felt that if Ouyang Jian, the salamander, got into the sand, it would disappear without a trace. Sure enough, as he expected, news about Ouyang Jian came one after another.

"Report! Ouyang Jian led his troops to Liangshan Town, south of Xinyu, and suddenly their whereabouts were unknown! "A subordinate reports urgently." The commander-in-chief doesn't need to worry, Ouyang Jian started to play stealth again, but he suddenly disappeared in Liangshan Town, it was nothing more than a concealed whereabouts, and he couldn't grow wings, so our encirclement and suppression plan couldn't be changed. "The chief of staff analyzed. He Yingqin nodded and said, "Order all the troops to speed up their advance and encircle and annihilate Ouyang Jian in the south of Xinyu." He Yingqin was calm on the surface, but he had a bad feeling in his heart, and it was even more difficult to grasp this former "subordinate", and he even thought that the ability displayed by Ouyang Jian was bound to become another big trouble after Zhu Mao.

Ouyang Jian captured Liangshan Town with great fanfare and brazenness, and the enemy army was mobilized, which successfully covered the 17th Division's escort of prisoners of war to return to the base area smoothly, and once again indirectly supported the main Red Army in the operation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. After resting in Liangshan Town for two days, Ouyang Jian discussed with Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan: "Our task of covering the 17th Division was successfully completed, and at the same time, the enemy troops were mobilized, and the enemy's 28th and 56th Divisions located on the east side of Ji'an were intercepted in the south. The pressure on the central base areas has dropped sharply, but we have exceeded our tasks, and we are facing a difficult problem in the next step of how to get rid of the enemy's encirclement and suppression. ”

Su Yu said keenly: "Commander, I suggest going west and then turning to the northwest, jumping out of the encirclement between Pingxiang and Yichun, and then entering Hunan in the direction of Liuyang. "I agree with this plan! Rubbing shoulders with enemy troops. Luo Ronghuan has no opinion. Su Yu's thoughts were basically consistent with Ouyang Jian's intentions. Ouyang Jian was overjoyed and said: "Deputy Commander Su, your suggestion is very good, I have no opinion, but in order to continue to confuse the enemy army, we fought a battle with the enemy's 56th Division in Jiulong Township, creating the illusion that we will continue to move south, and then secretly advance westward." ”

That night, the troops quietly went out, and the next morning a fierce battle broke out with a brigade of the 56th Division that was intercepted there in Jiulong Township. Two divisions of the Red Army launched a tidal wave of feints. The enemy brigade was unable to resist and quickly retreated, and the troops pursued for more than ten miles, and then turned to the west. In fact, if Ouyang Jian wanted to continue the attack, there was no problem, but the purpose was not this, this move was to attract the enemy army, mobilize the enemy army, confuse the enemy army, and create the illusion that the Red Army would move to the Jinggangshan area. He Yingqin received a report from the 56th Division and immediately ordered the eastern encirclement and suppression troops to move closer to Jiulong Township as soon as possible, and ordered the four divisions on the northern front to speed up their southward advance.

That night, Ouyang Jian led his troops to quietly leave Jiulong Township and disappeared from the enemy's sight again. However, the enemy army judged that Ouyang Jian would definitely fight south, and the target might be the Jinggangshan area, because Ouyang Jian was good at fighting in the mountains. Three days later, Ouyang Jian successfully jumped out of the enemy encirclement from Luxi between Pingxiang and Yichun, and they were only two kilometers away from the enemy's 23rd Division, which could be said to be a passing by.

According to the intelligence of the dark arrow, the enemy's 12th Division and the 35th Brigade were recently transferred to Liuyang, Hunan, and were ready to fight in Jiangxi. Ouyang Jian was overjoyed when he received the news: "Our luck is too good, entering the first battle in Hunan will produce a greater sensational effect, the soldiers are very fast, and we order the troops to start action tonight, and strive to rush to Liuyang tomorrow night." When Ouyang Jian led his troops into Hunan, the enemy's whereabouts were discovered, and the enemy army believed that Ouyang Jian was using Hunan to flee north and return to the base area, so he immediately ordered all units in Hunan to intercept Ouyang Jian on the Yueyang line.

At this time, Ouyang Jian had no intention of withdrawing to the base area at all, and since he had entered Hunan, he would turn him upside down. At dusk the next day, Zhang Shiying and Song Renqiao led their troops to quickly surround Liuyang Town, and the battle suddenly began. The 12th Brigade of the 35th Division of the enemy was unprepared, and in the face of the fierce attack of the Red Army, especially Ouyang Jian's tiger and wolf division, it was simply a tiger change. The commander of the enemy's 35th brigade knew that Ouyang Jian's Red Army unit had a terrifying special combat team, and they were all sharpshooters, so this guy changed into a soldier's uniform as soon as possible. At present, the generals in the enemy troops, when they heard Ouyang Jian's name, almost all turned into frightened birds.

The junior officers were even more frightened and changed into soldiers' clothes one after another. This Red Army unit is not only strong in combat, but the key is that the special combat team built by Ouyang Jian has become famous all over the world, and the junior officers have shrunk in order to avoid eating guns, and they have shrunk in commanding battles. This move affected the soldiers' will to resist. In less than two hours, a commando team stormed the town, and the enemy's resistance quickly collapsed. The battle ended around 10 p.m. The commander of the enemy's 35th Brigade disguised himself as a soldier and took advantage of the night to lead a few people to escape, and all the rest were captured. Since the captives could not be taken away, they had to be dismissed on the spot, and then Ouyang Jian waved his troops to Changsha, making a posture of attacking Changsha, which frightened the defenders of Changsha as if they were facing a great enemy and were terrified.

Since the enemy in Hunan was mainly dealing with the Red Army in western Hunan and Hubei, the strength was overstretched for a while. To this end, He Yingqin dispatched two divisions to the first line of Yuezhou to the maximum extent to intercept Ouyang Jian's return to the base area. In addition, the 9th, 22nd, and 43rd divisions were ordered to follow into Hunan and continue to encircle and suppress Ouyang Jian, and the enemy army was successfully mobilized. Ouyang Jian led his troops to make a false shot in the south of Changsha, and then went south to Hengshan, where he rested for 5 days. He Yingqin did not dare to slack off on this effort, and immediately ordered the two divisions of the Guangdong Army stationed in Hengyang to go north to outflank them.

Time passed quickly into May, on this day in Hengshan Changjiang Town, Ouyang Jian, Su Yu, and Luo Ronghuan were studying the enemy situation, and an operational staff officer held a telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "Good news, the main force of the 1st Corps, the 3rd Corps, ate two brigades of the 47th Division in the Futian area. When they heard this, they couldn't help but cheer. Ouyang Jian knew that the counterattack of the main Red Army had begun, and he ate the two brigades of the 47th Division in the first battle, and the butterfly effect once again added weight to the scales. That night, Ouyang Jian received another telegram from the headquarters that a brigade of the enemy's 28th Division was surrounded.

Ouyang Jian recalled the original history, the counterattack operation should have been carried out around late May, and now the counterattack operation has been advanced by half a month, which means that the second anti-encirclement and suppression operation will achieve greater results. Let all this be due to the great changes in the outside, and quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes. After everyone's excited mood stabilized, Ouyang Jian said: "According to the enemy's situation, the Guangdong army has two divisions from the south, but these two divisions are moving very slowly, like snails crawling, so we don't have to worry." ”

"At present, the 9th, 22nd, and 43rd Divisions have entered Hunan, and we are advancing to the northwest, continuing to mobilize the enemy's troops, and putting on a posture of marching to the base areas in western Hunan and Hubei provinces, so that the enemy will once again make wrong judgments, and at the same time, it will also reduce the pressure on the anti-encirclement and suppression operations in the base areas of western Hunan and Hubei provinces. I decided to go north with great fanfare and muddy the waters. "The commander of the corps is very strategic, and the enemy army is very afraid that we will enter the base area in western Hunan and Hubei, if that happens, Wuhan will definitely be mortally threatened." Luo Ronghuan did not have any objections.

That night, Ouyang Jian once again swung his troops north, captured Shuangfeng a day later, occupied Loudi five days later, and then advanced to Zhangjiajie. The troops lost their traces again in Anhua, but in fact, Ouyang Jian led his troops to Kuixi in the area east of Anhua to rest and recuperate, and to observe the movement of the enemy's troops and find targets for the next operation.
