It was rainy, the roads were slippery, and the sky was a dull grey. A tired army marched in the wind and rain, the soldiers were in rags, but their faces flashed with determination, especially the red star shining on their military caps. This unit was a column of the Red Fourth Army, and they were on their way to battle.

In the queue of the special operations company of the first column, the company commander Hao Lei wore a cloak on his head, his beard was unshaven, his cheeks were sloppy, and his shoulders were wet from the rain. Hao Yi followed behind, he was already a platoon commander of the special operations company. Due to the continuous transfer of battles, the combat attrition of the Red Fourth Army was very serious. At present, Lin is the commander of the first column (the 1st Division), and the first column has 4 detachments. After leaving Jinggangshan, the troops continued to fight for several months, with the enemy intercepting the enemy in front and the enemy pursuing them, and they fought almost every day, and at present the special operations company was naturally attritioned by only more than 30 people.

After the Red Fourth Army left Jinggangshan, it faced unimaginable difficulties. The enemy dispatched heavy troops to encircle and intercept them, among which an integrated division of Liu Shiyi's division of the Jiangxi Army always bit the Red Fourth Army and did not let go. The units in continuous combat suffered heavy losses, and the officers and men were starving and had no place to rest. The wounded have increased dramatically, but there is nowhere to stay, ammunition is exhausted and there is no way to replenish it, and morale is quite low. Many generals have revealed the idea of "how long can the red flag be fought?" At this critical moment, Zhu Mao decided to fight a battle in Ruijin Dabai to boost morale.

A rest horn sounded from the front, and the troops stopped advancing. "Dad, what kind of place is this," Hao Yi asked. "I heard that I arrived in Ruijin, and it's good to see the beautiful mountains and rivers." Hao Lei's black face showed a hint of excitement. "Dad, I miss the captain of them, I don't know what happened to them!" "yes, it's been a long time since I heard from them." There was the sound of horses' hooves in front, and a communicator Yima galloped here, saluted in front of Hao Lei: "Report, Captain Lin ordered your department to quickly seize the hill on the right to intercept the enemy on the spot to ensure that the column completes the battle deployment!" ”

"Yes! Please tell Captain Lin Column to resolutely complete the task! Hao Lei waved his hand and led his subordinates to the right side of the mountain bag movement. Hao Lei knew in his heart that the use of special operations to block the attack showed that this battle was of great importance. After seizing the hill, the troops quickly built improvised fortifications, and the battle made them forget about fatigue. The special operations company is an excellent shooter, and it has never been blocked since the continuous operation. Since the ammunition of the entire unit in continuous combat has reached the point of exhaustion, and this battle requires the enemy to be drawn into an encirclement and a white-knuckle battle, so the blocking of the special operations company is extremely important.

The special operations company did not have machine guns, and each soldier only had 10 rounds of ammunition, so Hao Lei set the defensive line very wide, with an average of 10 meters apart to put one person. As soon as the troops were arranged, the correspondent came to the mountain to convey the order: "Captain Lin Column orders your troops to hold on for two hours and retreat to attract the enemy to pursue. After the messenger left, Hao Lei ordered: "Pass my order, put the enemy close and fight, and destroy an enemy with every bullet!" ”

A few hours later, enemy troops appeared. On the dirt road, the enemy army was in disarray, and an officer on his horse brandished a horsewhip and shouted loudly. Hao Lei observed that the enemy's forward was about one company, and the rear was about 200 meters away from two companies to follow, and it seemed that the enemy's vanguard was a battalion. Hao Lei signaled to Hao Yi, who was on the left, and after entering a hundred meters, he shot out the enemy commander. The officers and men of the enemy probably already knew that the Red Army was short of ammunition and food, so they were very arrogant as if they were in a no-man's land. When the enemy entered 100 meters, he heard a gunshot, and the officer on the horse dismounted.

The enemy was immediately confused, and then a row of bullets flew out, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers responded to the ground, and the enemy soldiers fell on the spot in fright. An enemy machine gunner quickly set up a machine gun, Hao Lei raised his hand and fired a shot, and the enemy machine gunner was shot in the head. Then another volley of guns rang out, and the enemy soldier lying on the ground was shot while lying on his stomach. The topography here is special, and the difference between the mountains and the valley is very small, and the difference between the mountains and the flat land is only fifty or sixty meters. The top of the hill where Hao Lei is located is only 70 meters away from the nearest point of the road below the mountain, so he is naturally handy in attacking the enemy from a high position.

Hao Lei's special operations company, which was originally staffed with 50 men, suffered 18 casualties in several months of continuous combat. The remaining 32 are almost all excellent marksmen, and several of them already have the potential to be snipers. Condescendingly, the guns bite the flesh, the enemy has suffered such a blow, and they immediately retreat in fright. The enemy forces behind were unaware of what they were doing, and they immediately scattered their troops to deploy their defenses. As soon as Hao Lei saw that the opportunity had come, he immediately ordered Hao Yi to lead a platoon to attack. Hao Yi understood that he was not to pursue the enemy, but to obtain ammunition for the fallen enemy soldiers.

When the enemy's heavy machine guns began to suppress fire, Hao Yi came back smoothly from a sortie. At present, the Red Army is fighting, and the ** for ammunition has reached the extreme. Hao Yi captured 400 rounds of ammunition for a light machine gun and about 300 rounds for a dozen rifles. With the ammunition, Hao Lei's confidence was greatly increased, and he ordered not to waste bullets and aim to fight. The enemy's heavy machine-gun fire reconnoitred and found that there was no movement on the hill, and then launched a tentative attack. The enemy carefully launched an attack in a skirmish formation, and when they entered a hundred meters, sporadic and terrifying shooting was staged again, and many of the soldiers who were hit were hit in the head, and the enemy soldiers quickly retreated in fear, and in this round of tentative attacks, two enemy platoon commanders were killed.

The enemy's vanguard battalion did not dare to attack, and frankly said that if the enemy launched a group attack, Hao Lei would not be able to hold it at all. However, the enemy found that the opponent's shooting was extremely accurate, almost biting the flesh, which made it difficult for the enemy to judge the strength of the defense. The two sides stalemate for an hour and a half, and the enemy brigade arrived. At this time, as soon as the time for blocking was up, Hao Lei ordered the troops to retreat. Suddenly, the enemy's mortars began to roar, and Hao Lei was directing the troops to retreat from the blocking position, as a result, the shells fell on their heads. Hao Lei shouted loudly, and a cannonball exploded beside him, and the smoke swallowed his figure.

Hao Lei was seriously wounded and unconscious, and the troops withdrew to a safe place, and Hao Yi temporarily assumed command. The count counts 4 killed and 8 wounded. The stretcher team quickly transferred the wounded to the rear, and Hao Yi continued to direct the troops to block the enemy and lure the enemy to approach the ambush circle step by step. At dawn the next day, Hao Yi completed the task of luring the enemy and handed over the task of blocking to the large army. Hao Yi was concerned about his adoptive father's injuries and hurried to the column hospital to visit, but Hao Lei was still not out of danger at this time.

The sky was still drizzling, and the two regiments of the enemy were annoyed and angry, and they were stubbornly blocked from the front when they entered Dabaidi, and the enemy thought that they had succeeded and continued to throw in new troops. The frontal blocking force continued to retreat, and the enemy, not knowing what to do, drilled into the pocket to the bottom, so that both regiments of the enemy entered the ambush circle. Zhu Mao carefully surveyed the terrain of Obai Land in advance, which was very conducive to ambush operations, so he decided to eat the two enemy regiments that were following in Dabai Land. Due to a severe shortage of ammunition, the ambush operation employed hand-to-hand combat tactics.

The combat deployment was as follows: The second detachment of the 1st Red Column was deployed to set up an ambush on the west side of the mountain south of Dabaidi, and the 3rd Red Column was deployed to set up an ambush on the east side of the mountain south of Dabaidi. The three and four detachments of the first column were arranged to carry out frontal interception in the middle of the east and west sides, and the first column and one detachment were personally controlled by the military headquarters of the general reserve. At about 9 o'clock that day, all the enemy troops entered the pocket, and the ambush operation officially began. The lurking troops on the east and west sides quickly attacked, outflanked and tied their pockets in a roundabout way, and the enemy became a turtle in an urn.

After the battle began, the Red Army from all walks of life quickly attacked, and the battle was fierce and the sound of killing was everywhere. Due to the lack of ammunition of the Red Army and the stubborn resistance of the enemy, the battle situation entered a stalemate for a time. Zhu De decisively threw a team into the battle, and Lin also put the special operations company into battle again. As the enemy forces loosened, the Red Army launched a fierce attack, and the tide of the battle quickly turned around. After a tragic hand-to-hand battle between the two sides, it can be said that "struggling in a pool of blood", the two regiments of the enemy were completely annihilated, and the battle captured a lot, which greatly alleviated the shortage of ammunition.

After the annihilation battle, Lin personally went to the hospital to visit Hao Lei's injuries. The role of the special operations company in this battle made Lin impressed again, so Hao Lei's serious injury made him very worried. In the hospital, Hao Lei was awake and out of danger of life, and he was hit by more than a dozen single tablets in the head and body, but fortunately there were no fatal injuries. Hao Lei couldn't speak, Lin held his hand and said: "The ambush battle was a complete victory, annihilating two regiments of the enemy, we broke the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, and we can rest in Ruijin for a while." Your special operations company played a role in this ambush battle, and I have already reported it to the military headquarters for your ······. ”

In view of the huge role of the special combat team, Lin began to make every effort to build a special operations company, which still retains a platoon of snipers, and at the same time increases the machine gun platoon, the flower machine gun platoon (submachine guns), and forms a mortar platoon (all the mortars of the column are concentrated in the special operations company). Lin's idea is that by investing in a special operations company at a critical moment, it can form a terrorist blow in the local area, and make a breakthrough to drive the overall situation. In a series of battles that followed, the special operations company played a pivotal role, and the battle loss rate of the special operations company was also quite high.

In the military headquarters of the Ruijin Red Fourth Army, everyone swept away the haze of the past, and their faces showed a smile. "The victory of the Dabaidi ambush not only broke the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, but also a major turning point. At present, Lao Jiang has ordered Zhu Peide to concentrate his forces to attack Wuhan, and we can rest assured that we can make corrections in Ruijin. Former Party Secretary Runzhi Xiao Xiao's face was full of energy. Zhu De said with a smile: "This is called more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, God is protecting the Red Army." The battle between Lao Jiang and the Gui family opened, and we not only got a respite, but Da Baidi smashed the Gan army's suppression in the first battle! ”

At this time, Chen Yi came in from outside and said, "The Central Bureau has called and agreed that we will rest in Ruijin. In addition, the Central Bureau informed that the Yunshui County Secret Detachment was officially separated from the command of the Red Fourth Army and placed under the direct leadership of the Central Bureau. Runzhi heard this, and said in his heart: "I'm worried that the Central Bureau will take over the secret detachment, and I'm afraid that this sprout will be in trouble." "Yes, at present, the enemy in the Jiujiang area is heavily gathered, and if an uprising is launched at this time, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." Zhu De naturally guessed what Runzhi meant.

At this time, an operational staff officer walked in and said, "Report, a liaison officer who claims to be the liaison officer of the secret detachment, he asked to meet with the two of you to have an important report. Soon a man in ragged clothes walked in. After listening to the report, Runzhi hurriedly took the letter, which was very thick and a little heavy. The date on the letter is early November last year, and it is now late February, indicating that the letter has been on the road for almost four months. Runzhi opened the letter in some confusion, and the person who came claimed that the letter was written by Ouyang Jian, the captain of the secret detachment, and asked him to hand it over to Zhu Mao and the others in person, and in case of emergency, he should destroy it immediately, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Runzhi opened the letter, and the letter paper was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper. When I opened the oiled paper and folded the letterhead, it was written that Zhu Mao and the two opened it in person. Top secret, Ouyang Jian, the captain of the secret detachment. Runzhi opened the letter in confusion and looked at it, and as the content deepened, the expression on his face became solemn. The content of the letter involves the current situation, the analysis of the battle situation, judgment and military strength of the two sides of Jiang and Gui, who are about to start the war, and even the situation of the old Jiang dividing and disintegrating the new Gui army. The content also describes the situation of the Northeast Army, especially the incident on the Middle East Road.

The core part of the letter is the key, analyzing the contradictions between Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, especially the judgment that Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan are very likely to break out into military conflict. The last part is to describe his idea of establishing a base in Yunshui County and its surroundings. After reading the letter, Runzhi handed it to Zhu De with a serious expression and said, "The information fed back in Comrade Ouyang Jian's letter is shocking. If this is true, we have come to a situation of great development. After reading it, Zhu De's heart fluctuated and said: "No matter what the content of this letter is, Ouyang Jian's strategic vision can be called a must. There is a great deal of analysis in the letter, and whether the source is reliable needs to be considered. ”

After reading the letter, Chen Yi questioned some of the contents. In fact, Ouyang Jian's purpose was to let Runzhi see his judgment of the situation, and he believed that Runzhi already had a keen sense of smell for the current situation. After everything is confirmed, what will the weight of Ouyang Jian in their hearts look like. Then when Ouyang Jian moves in Yunshui County in the future, he will naturally increase his weight, especially after the military victory, there is no need to guess the result.
