Yunshui County was overcast, and in the Jiangxi Army Division, Wang Jundao, the commander-in-chief, said: "Nanjing called, commending us for recovering Yunshui County, and ordering us to completely exterminate the red bandits by the end of the year, without leaving any hidden dangers." In view of the fact that the red bandits were wandering through the mountainous areas and the terrain was complicated, and that it was unfavorable to attack and suppress them, the Nanjing side demanded that the cholera of the red bandits in the Jiujiang area be completely eliminated by the end of the year. The Nanjing Military Commission will give consideration in time in light of practical difficulties. I decided to rest in Yunshui County for 5 days, and after 5 days, I will attack Tongluo Village, and I must take Tongluo Village in one go. ”

Geng Zhong, the commander of the 43rd Regiment, asked: "Commander-in-chief, our regiment continues to serve as the vanguard, and I must avenge the ghosts." "The ghost was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, which made Geng Zhong angry. Wang Jun nodded and said, "Ouyang Jian is very cunning, you must be careful. Your unit served as the vanguard, and the 42nd regiment followed. Red bandits are nothing more than harassment warfare, and we must take it step by step. As long as Tongluo Village is taken, Meiling, another stronghold of the Red Bandits, will be easy to handle. I personally sit in Jiujiang County, and I will never give up until I kill Ouyang Jian. ”

Wang Jun continued: "This time to attack Tongluo Village, I will equip your unit with 4 mountain artillery pieces and 12 mortars, and I want to let the red bandits taste the power of artillery." Wang Jun continued: "I want to take root in Yuanshui County, and order the 5th Division to dispatch a brigade to serve as a transport team to prevent the Red Bandits from attacking, Ouyang Jian must pay attention to the transport team." In addition, Chen Huanzhang was ordered to temporarily rest in Yongxiu County and restore the 44th Regiment. "Commander-in-chief, Ouyang Jian's ability to gain the attention of the upper peak shows that this person is by no means an idle person. The point is that he knows us too well and we don't know anything about him. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles. "The chief of staff has spoken." It makes sense, inform the Nanjing side, I need Ouyang Jian's details! ”

Tongluo Village sang and laughed, and everyone's face was filled with joy. Early in the morning, Ouyang Jian sent Li Guangda down the mountain to Meiling. "Brother Li, Meiling is handed over to you, I can rest assured that you go. Transferring wounded soldiers to Meiling is a security measure, and you have to train new recruits on the Meiling side, so your task is very heavy. I judge that the enemy will not pay attention to Meiling until he captures Tongluo Village. The special forces team will monitor the enemy's movements at any time, and I will notify you as soon as there is a situation. In addition, we need to keep in touch with the radio at all times. ”

"Captain of the column, don't worry! As long as Tongluo Village is safe, Meiling will be safe. Commissar, what else do you have for this instruction? "The column commander explained very clearly, so I won't say more, take care along the way!" Everyone shook hands with each other, and Li Guangda led the guard company and took the captured wounded soldiers on the road. "Commissar, I'll go see the baby stone!" "Just so I'm going to see how the family is settled!" Ouyang Jian broke up with Mao Zetan and walked towards the back mountain. The scene of the hot work in a quarry in the back mountain is strong, especially the sound of iron chisels is particularly harsh and very rhythmic.

Ouyang Jian walked to the quarry and saw a large number of craftsmen chiseling stones. The center of the field is filled with oddly shaped stones, of various sizes, and each stone has an eye in the middle. Ouyang Jian circled around the half-finished stone pile, feeling very satisfied. "Captain, everyone is very motivated. We have assembled 200 iron mines, 1000 stone mines. Although the stone thunder increased the amount of medicine, the explosion was not as powerful as the iron thunder. Master Hu, who was in charge of the manufacture of grenades, appeared in front of him.

"Master Hu, the power of the explosion is not important, my purpose is to scare the enemy, so that they will be afraid when they see the stones." As he spoke, Ouyang Jian and Master Hu walked to the workshop next to them, where more than a dozen workers were dispensing medicine for Shi Lei. Ouyang Jian greeted everyone and motioned for everyone to continue their work. Then Ouyang Jian instructed Master Hu to hurry up and charge the stone mine, and at present, Master Hu's subordinates, according to Ouyang Jian's "words and deeds", have been very proficient in the production of mines, especially the trigger device and sensitivity of the mines have been very high.

Then Ouyang Jian came to a cave in front of the mountain, which had been manually "repaired" and the space became very large. The cave is facing the intersection of the upper mountain, and the view is very high. Ouyang Jian walked into the cave, and the soldiers of the artillery team were fiddling with the artillery. Not long ago, Ouyang Jian ordered Meiling's artillery team to be transferred to Tongluo Village, with the purpose of strengthening the defense of Tongluo Village. Since the last time Xiao Feng captured 4 German-made Type 02 rapid-fire guns, he formed an artillery team, for which Ouyang Jian personally compiled an artillery drill manual.

At present, the artillery team has about 150 people, and half of them have a preliminary level of Chinese. To this end, Ouyang Jian recruited a large number of progressive young students through Tan Song, and building an artillery unit was not a day's work. The artillery unit must not only be tempered in the flames of war, but also reserve a large number of talents. Ouyang Jian not only compiled a manual for artillery drills, but also compiled a textbook on artillery. At the beginning, Zhu Dianwen, the clerk under his command, was the most educated, so Ouyang Jian spent a lot of time cultivating him.

At present, Zhu Dianwen has become the captain of the artillery team, and this artillery team has been trained for nearly a year, and the scale has begun to appear. Although the artillery team only has 4 German-made Type 02 guns and a few captured mortars that can barely be used, their training level and understanding of artillery performance, as well as the development and installation of artillery in various countries in the world today, even the artillery of the national army does not know as clearly as they do, which is naturally Ouyang Jian's masterpiece. In particular, in terms of training methods and proficiency in artillery performance, this artillery team can be said to be "outstanding" in China.

"Report to the column leader, the artillery brigade is drilling, please instruct!" When Zhu Dianwen saw Ouyang Jian coming in, he immediately ran over to salute, and the other soldiers who were training also straightened up and saluted. "Keep practicing!" , the soldiers immediately plunged into training. Ouyang Jian observed for a while and asked, "How are you preparing?" "Report to the commander of the column, the terrain and landforms under the mountain have been repeatedly surveyed, and the Zhuyuan has been set according to the range of the artillery. In addition, we set up an artillery observation post at the highest point on the top of the hill and laid telephone lines. "It's good, it's important to double-check and don't miss anything, and remember the details that I've repeatedly emphasized, and the details make the difference between success and failure."

"Column leader, I will never forget your teachings." "At the moment our artillery unit is very small, but as it develops, our artillery unit will continue to grow. You are not only a combat unit, but also a school for the training of artillerymen. In addition to training, theoretical learning should not be relaxed for a moment. In addition, you have to tap excellent soldiers, in the future, the Red Army School will open an artillery department, we will train a group of excellent instructors, and I will build a powerful artillery unit. "Yes! Your subordinates won't let you down! ”

Ouyang Jian walked out of the cave and came to the door of the cottage, and happened to meet Song Renqiang who was patrolling. "Report to the column leader, his subordinates are inspecting the fortifications and defenses!" Ouyang Jian nodded, seeing that many recruits were rushing to repair the fortifications, they were full of enthusiasm. Song Renqiang led his subordinates to guard the cottage, and in order to make up for the lack of troops, he deliberately selected 200 people from the captured soldiers to join the defensive operation. "Column leader, half of the captives strongly want to join our troops, and the other half of the captives are mostly veterans, some of them are waiting, some are worried, and some are paying attention to other things."

"Transformation takes a process, and you can't expect them to change their minds in one morning. We need to let the facts speak for themselves, and a word is a victory. For them to see hope for conscious integration into the Red Army units, we must be strong. Half of them asked to join the Red Army, and this was a good start. At this time, Luo Ronghuan and his department appeared at the gate of the village, they drove more than a dozen carriages, and the carriages were loaded with "stones", three of which were loaded with iron mines, and it was obvious that Luo Ronghuan led the troops to dispatch.

"Column leader, what else do you command?" Luo Ronghuan ran forward and raised his hand to salute. "There's nothing to say, keep in touch with the radio at all times. Your detachment is responsible for striking at the enemy, and the mine-laying work must be meticulous, brainstorming and mobilizing the soldiers to use their brains, tap the wisdom and talents of the soldiers, and apply what they have learned freely, but they must be tested in actual combat. "If you don't see the enemy, you don't hang the strings, everyone remembers it." "When the special combat team discovers the enemy's situation, it will notify you at the contact point, and you will report on the radio as soon as possible, understand?" "Understood!"

Ouyang Jian carefully inspected the cottage, at this time the sunset reflected half of the sky, the sunset was early in winter, and the cold wind was blowing in his face. Ouyang Jian climbed to a high point and looked northeast. The guard Tao Yong motioned for the pony to stay away and not disturb the column leader, he knew what Ouyang Jian was thinking at the moment. Ouyang Jian's shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Wen Ting, how are you, how are you, how I miss you at this moment. I know you received my letter, and the belated confession is really helpless, don't blame me. You are tortured in the enemy's demon cave and I can't do anything, thinking of this, Ouyang Jian felt a faint pain in his heart.

Wen Ting! The dawn is ahead, and we must stick to it. In fact, Ouyang Jian knew very well in his heart that Wen Ting's hope of survival was very small. Especially her relationship with herself, the enemy will definitely make a big fuss in the future. Ouyang Jian swore silently, Wen Ting, please rest assured, I will not let you down, Jiuhua Tiger and shameful traitors will not end well, I will get rid of them with my own hands.

At this time, Guo Mei appeared silently, and she hesitated a little with a coat in her hand. The guard pony was about to speak, but Tao Yong grabbed him and signaled not to disturb. Guo Mei gently draped her coat on Ouyang Jian's body, and Ouyang Jian looked back and saw that Guo Mei nodded. "I miss Miss Lu!" Women are thoughtful, and the subtleties of men do not escape their eyes. Guo Mei's face was pale, but she became stable and mature. After this incident, Ouyang Jian knew how much pressure she felt in her heart, and she also knew that women would work hard for a love word. Guo Mei was able to choose to stay, at least half of it was because of her own reasons.

Ouyang Jian smiled bitterly and said frankly: "I'm thinking about her, thinking that she is going through hardships, and my heart is dripping blood." As a man, it is a man's shame to see his beloved woman suffering. "I sympathize with Miss Lu, if I were her, she would be proud of it." Guo Mei's eyes showed a hot gaze. After a long silence, Ouyang Jian said: "Miss Guo, I'm glad that you chose to stay." But what I want to say is that your father, as an official of the Kuomintang, is not heinous, even though we are in different camps, but I respect him very much, because he is an honest and upright person. ”

"The split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was caused by the Kuomintang, and we were forced to take up arms and fight for freedom, for faith, and for the future of the country and the nation. Although I am a staunch believer, I am also a man of flesh and blood. "You're saying that family affection is inseparable, including your cousin?" "There are many comrades and families who belong to different political groups. I mean, there's no need to treat your father as an enemy, and you'll get it slowly. ”
