Ruoergai, belonging to Aba Autonomous Prefecture, is located at the northeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the north of Sichuan Province, and is the north gate of Sichuan to the northwest provinces and regions. Its county border is adjacent to the four counties of Gansu, and its strategic location is self-evident.

The capture of Songpan meant that the Red Army had seized the initiative in the north. Although Hu Zongnan had strictly ordered the defensive troops deployed in Gannan to withstand the attack of the Red Army and not allow the main force of the Red Army to easily pass through their defense area.

It's a pity that now the independent column has seized Songpan. Hu Zongnan's defense troops on the first line of Ruoergai had been divided by independent columns. In this case, the mood of the defenders can be imagined.

The capture of Songpan also means that the Central Red Army finally does not have to walk the barren grassland. Just to gain time and increase the material reserves of the troops at the same time, He Zhengdao finally asked the headquarters to launch an attack in the direction of Ruoergai.

Although he was worried about He Zhengdao's safety, Mao Taizu also knew that the soldiers were fast. This surprise attack on Songpan can already show that He Zhengdao is very good at winning by surprise. The independent column marching into Ruoergai could also disrupt Hu Zongnan's arrangement.

The most important thing is Zhou Enlai, who is in charge of logistics, and told Mao Taizu very worriedly. The food reserves of the headquarters and various units could not last long. If there are no more captures, the troops will be in danger of running out of food on their way north.

As the independent column with the largest material reserves in the Central Red Army, now, under the order of He Zhengdao, it has begun to look for other edible things. Instead of rice and flour seized from Sichuan.

Xiao Jinguang, who was stationed in Songpan, also knew that He Zhengdao was indeed more powerful than him in fighting and raising supplies. Although he was not very satisfied with his love for going to the front line, he also knew that He Zhengdao's age was only twenty years old after all.

Knowing that He Zhengdao only brought a main group, Xiao Jinguang said directly: "What about the second division? Didn't the 2nd Division arrive before us? Why did the commander accompany only one main regiment? In the direction of Ruoergai, the enemy still has at least one division! ”

Facing Xiao Jinguang's inquiry. Zhang Cheng quickly said: "Political commissar, under the order of the commander, the second division has advanced in the direction of Longnan. In doing so, it is also to block the possibility of reinforcements from the enemy. ”

'That's it! In order to ensure the safety of the commander, the rest of your division immediately caught up. Here I and the third division are in charge, you and the commander don't have to worry. After the follow-up headquarters comes, I will also lead the troops to follow up. ’

'Yes, Commissar! When the commander left, he asked the commissar to find the local toast to buy food. If they don't agree. It is possible to use some extraordinary means. The troops who followed up were very hungry for food. ’

Hearing Zhang Cheng's announcement, Xiao Jinguang also frowned a little and said, "Okay, I know!" I'll find a way to raise as much food and grass as I can. At present, the food reserves of our column can hold out for a while, and the other legions will be a little troublesome. ”

Xiao Jinguang, who said this, sincerely admired He Zhengdao's foresight. If it weren't for the large amount of grain captured in the western Sichuan Plain last time, it is estimated that the Central Red Army would now have troops. It is already in the crisis of food shortage.

This surprise attack on Songpan, Hu Zongnan's grain stored here. Naturally, it was also captured by the independent column. It's just that compared to the daily food needs of the 80,000 army, this capture really can't last long.

But even so, in the face of the telegram sent by Zhou Enlai, Xiao Jinguang still said: "Call back to the headquarters, our department has not seized much grain in Songpan. More than 50,000 catties of various grains seized this time have been escorted by logistics troops. ”

A telegram was received from the independent column. Zhou Enlai also said with a little relief: "Although it is not much, more than 50,000 catties of grain is enough for our whole army to last for a day or two." I hope that kid can get food next! ”

Listening to Zhou Enlai's words, Mao Taizu also nodded at the right time and said, "Tell the legions." Save some food to eat. Find a little more to eat, and there's no need to eat staple foods at every meal. There's a lot of tough battle to be fought below! ”

'Yes! Fortunately, the independent column had brought back a large amount of food earlier, so that the headquarters and the various corps had a lot of reserves. If we rely on local supplies, it will be really difficult for this place to feed our tens of thousands of troops! ’

The food crisis at the headquarters is naturally clear to He Zhengdao. Judging from the current situation, the only local person who can come up with a large amount of grain is toast. But if you really pay these toasts' food, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the local ethnic minorities.

It was with these two points in mind that He Zhengdao asked Xiao Jinguang to prepare with both hands. If the other side cooperated, the Red Army would spend money or buy food in kind. If it doesn't sell, then find a high-profile toast to make an example of the monkey.

When I arrived at the charter seat in Ruoergai, I looked at the troops stationed here, and there was only one regiment of Hu Zongnan. He Zhengdao also knew that in history, after the Red Army crossed the grassland, it fought a great victory here.

Looking at the troop deployment map sent back by the scouts, He Zhengdao also said with some teeth: "These guys are really good at picking places." Stuck on the way we must enter Gannan, we can really walk with confidence if we don't remove it. ”

'Yes! The commander, the 2nd Regiment of the Southern Independent Brigade of Hu Zong, stationed here, with the dense mountains and forests here, also built a cluster of pillboxes, forming such a stuck-neck defensive area. Attacking head-on, it's not easy to take it! ’

Li Xiangdong, who personally led the reconnaissance detachment to reconnoiter the opponent's defensive position, knew very well that the opponent relied on pillboxes for defense. It's really not easy to easily take down the opponent's defensive position!

At this time, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "I have a way!" Hehe, do you think that if you put on a turtle shell, I can't do anything about you? This time, I'm going to let them taste it, and I can't hold back what it's like to run out. ”

'Commander, is there a way to get them out of the bunker on their own? ’

'Of course! Now, as fast as you can, collect these things for me! ’

After Li Xiangdong whispered a few words in his ear, He Zhengdao asked the only division and a regiment that were advancing with him to begin to encircle the Central Army stationed in Baoza. The posture of encircling but not attacking made the Central Army stationed here also very worried.

Understand that the main forces of the Red Army have appeared. The commander of the 2nd Regiment stationed in these areas immediately sent a telegram to the military headquarters asking for help. Even if he knew that he had a strong bunker to defend himself. But in the face of the continuous reinforcements of the Red Army, they could not hold out for too long!

After receiving a telegram from the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade, Hu Zongnan, who had returned to Pingwu City, had already known through investigation that the troops in Songpan City had attacked that night. It was the independent division of the Red Army that made the encirclement and suppression army disgraced, and now it was renamed the Independent Column.

'The Second Regiment must hold out there for at least two days, and if you can't hold it for even two days, don't blame our military law. In addition, the 49th Division was ordered to give me the fastest speed to reinforce the chartered seats, and they must arrive within two days. ’

Such a telegram was sent back. The Central Legion Commander stationed here also knew that they had no choice. If they really want to lose this place, even if they escape the encirclement and annihilation of the Red Army, they will be dealt with by Hu Zongnan's military law when they reach the rear.

As long as it lasts for two days, the 49th Division will come to support. Thinking of this, the head of the regiment also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The battalion commander under his command was summoned and said: "Two days, as long as we hold on for two days, we will make meritorious service." ”

I heard that I would hold on for two days. These battalion commanders although found it a little difficult. It can be thought that they are hiding in the bunker, and the other party does not have heavy artillery. If you want to capture their bunkers, you have to fill them with human lives.

It's a pity that He Zhengdao, who waited until he had rested the next day, personally adjusted the two mortars, and said with a smile: "To the east, have you seen the common people Xunshan rats?" Next. I'll let you see how the rats in there came out.

Remember, as soon as they come out, you will surprise them for me. Unless they lay down their arms and surrender, they will be dealt with as enemies. If Hu Zongnan knew. His bunker was broken by me like this, I guess he will vomit blood! ”

'Hehe, that's also the commander using soldiers like a god!' ’

'Sycophant! Look at it! This thing is good, but the shells have to hit the right place. Once it misses, it will also not work! ’

He Zhengdao, who was talking, put a cannonball that had been made in a hurry last night and had been specially seasoned into the barrel. With this bomb, it landed exactly where the machine gun hole of the pillbox was.

After the explosion sounded, the defenders in the bunker felt that the explosion seemed to be a little dull, and it seemed to be a little different from the mortar shell explosion they had heard before. Could it be that this is a stink bomb?

At this moment, the sharp-eyed bunker defenders exclaimed: "Company commander, look! Why does this cannonball emit red smoke? ”

Without waiting for them to understand what was going on, He Zhengdao, who had fired four refueled shells in a row, looked at the smoke that poured into the bunker in front of him. smiled and said, "Okay, the mouse is about to get out of the nest!" Get ready! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Last night, He Zhengdao, who nervously collected a lot of Sichuan pepper and Sichuan pepper, led Li Xiangdong and others to remake hundreds of mortar shells overnight. The biggest role of such shells is not to kill the enemy, but to smoke the enemy.

When the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment stared at the pillbox in front of them to watch the play. The defenders inside the bunker looked at the red smoke blowing in with some panic. As the first soldier breathed in the smoke, he couldn't hold back and coughed desperately.

This cough was contagious, and soon the officers and soldiers of the second and third pillboxes also joined the coughing team. In addition to coughing, many of the soldiers began to shed tears, which could not be stopped.

'I can't hold it back! I'm going out! ’

As the first soldier rushed out of the bunker and felt the fresh air outside, it seemed as if he had immediately regained his life. In a short time, the defenders of the entire blockhouse rushed out.

The defenders who stayed in the bunker behind were surprised why the defenders guarding the bunker had run outside the bunker. Isn't this an obvious search for death?

The officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment, who also saw this scene, smiled and said: "It's done!" This pair of pepper cannonballs really has an amazing effect! ”

It seems to be an unreasonable way of fighting, but it always receives unexpected results. With this fact, He Zhengdao told his subordinates who fought with him that this is how different he is the commander!
