As soon as Liu Yimin moved to a new position with the 1st and 2nd Battalions, He Xinghua, director of the radio station, reported that Zhang Liangji, commander of the enemy's division, had called to ask where the 48th Brigade was and what the results of the battle were.

Liu Yimin asked if the enemy operator had been captured? He Xinghua replied that not only had he captured the enemy telegraph operator, but that the telegraph operator had claimed that he was an underground party, took out the code book, and took the initiative to contact the enemy's radio station. Liu Yimin said that when he reported the situation to the central authorities after the battle was over, he would also report the situation to the political department for verification.

Luo Yan also reported by phone, and the former scouts reported that they had found enemy troops, but the enemy troops were marching at a normal pace. Liu Yimin told He Xinghua to send a telegram urging the enemy to speed up the pace of action, and He Xinghua ran back as soon as he agreed.

The waiting was the most tiring, and the soldiers who had been stimulated by the victory just now were all looking forward to the 47th Brigade coming to serve the food soon.

The veterans remembered the past when they led everyone to carry out sports warfare and ambush the enemy in the Central Soviet District, and their sense of victory, honor, and heroism surged upward.

The feelings of the new soldiers are very complicated, although the new soldiers who signed up for the army in the channel have learned to shoot in the new barracks, but they have not yet fired, and they feel that fighting a war is so simple, and they are anxious to wait for the enemy to come and shoot to try their skills; The new soldiers who joined the army from the passage security regiment had never seen such a good weapon or such a big battle, and most people thought that this was a soldier, this was a war, which was much better than being a regiment member with a burning stick; After heart-to-heart talks and complaints, the soldiers who joined the army from the prisoners of the Xiangjiang Campaign felt that they had taken the wrong path in the past, and now it was time to make meritorious contributions.

The cadres, especially the cadres supported by the headquarters, felt that the regiment commander was too amazing, how could he know that the enemy would take this road, and even the allocation of troops was clear, as if he was commanding the enemy army. It's amazing, with such a commander, it's hard not to win the battle.

Actually, the wait is not long. Luo Yan reported that the enemy army had already begun to march rapidly, and it was still rushing towards Xiaoshui in a three-way column. Liu Yimin immediately ordered the flag to prepare for battle, and the entire position fell silent.

Zhang Liangji, commander of the 16th Hunan Division, should be said to be a professional soldier, who graduated from the third phase of the Baoding Army Military Academy, and was promoted from platoon commander and company commander. He had been a staff officer in other units for a long time, but after joining the Hunan Army, he was highly used, and in October, he was promoted from the commander of the 46th Brigade to the commander of the 16th Division.

Zhang Liangji in history is a complex figure who has served in many units. During the Red Army era, Zhang Liangji followed He Jian and actively participated in the battle against the Red Army, his hands were stained with the blood of Red Army soldiers, and he was promoted to division commander with meritorious service. In April 1937, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, promoted to the deputy commander of the 18th Army, and later served as the executive director of the Ninth Theater Lieutenant General's Law. In August 1941, when inspecting the war defense project in Yichun, Jiangxi, he was bombed by a plane and martyred himself, which drew the most colorful stroke for his military career. Most of today's young readers are not familiar with him, but when it comes to one person, everyone will immediately have an impression of him, that is, Li Zheng, the famous political commissar of the railway guerrillas. Zhang Liangji is the uncle of the martyr Wen Lizheng, the prototype of Li Zheng.

Recently, Zhang Liangji has been in a good mood. As soon as he was promoted, he led his troops to participate in the Xiangjiang Campaign, and fought a difficult battle with the Red Army's main force, the Red First Army, at the foot of the mountain, although the Red First Army completed the task of covering the Red Army's crossing of the river, but the Hunan 16th Division also played its own prestige. One of his own interspersed troops even attacked near the headquarters of the Red First Army, and if it were not for the reflection of the bayonets when the soldiers put on their bayonets alarmed the guards and soldiers of the Red First Army, the outcome of the Xiangjiang Battle might have to be rewritten.

Zhang Liangji also admitted in his heart that the Red Army was the bravest unit he had ever seen. In particular, the Red 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Army Corps, which were known as the main forces of the Red Army, surged upwards like a tide as soon as the charge horn sounded, completely ignoring the firepower network composed of machine guns, artillery, and aircraft. On the foothill battlefield, it was obvious that planes and artillery had blown up the Red Army's position, but every time his own soldiers rushed to the front of the position, there were always Red Army soldiers who crawled out of the empty soil blown out of the bombs shooting and throwing bombs, preferring to die rather than retreat. Every position was taken after repeated bombardments, repeated assaults, repeated battles, and only after all the Red Army guards were killed, and the blood of soldiers on both sides stained every inch of the foot hill red. Fighting with such a brave force, not to mention that it is impossible to win, even if it is victorious, it is also a residual victory.

In the view of Zhang Liangji, who was born in a professional class, the commanders of the Red Army are also very clever in tactical command, and as long as they show a little flaw, the Red Army will immediately return the color and let themselves be drenched in blood.

However, time, luck, and momentum, no matter how brave the infantry is, it is no match for aircraft artillery. What's more, after the Xiangjiang Battle, the Red Army should almost be a team called Hanako, I heard that there were a lot of desertions during the Xiangjiang Campaign, will the current Red Army be about to collapse?

On the other hand, their 16th Division, due to the good performance of the Xiangjiang Campaign, the casualties of the troops were quickly replenished, and the logistics supply was sufficient, the three brigades have added mortar companies, each regiment has added a heavy machine gun company, each infantry company has three light machine guns, the officers above the platoon commander are equipped with brand-new 20-round barge guns that can fire continuously, the squad leaders and the division headquarters guard company are the same color flower organs, Commander Liu Zhanxu even handed over the 28th Army artillery battalion to his own command, you know, this is all the mountain artillery of the Hunan army system. It shows that Shangfeng attaches great importance to the combat effectiveness of the 16th Division.

For more than ten days after the Battle of Xiangjiang, he led the 16th Division to chase the Red Army and beat him in the ass. Although Chairman He Jian repeatedly asked to distance himself from the main force of the Red Army for a day, and Commander Liu Jianxu repeatedly warned him to be careful of the Red Army's sneak attack, he did indeed be cautious, and the forward, rearguard, and flanks were tightly protected, and he always kept in touch with the Red Army and did not force him too much, but he pursued all the way, and the results were still quite many. Although not as great as the results of the Xiangjiang Campaign, at least the 16th Division has always had the upper hand. Who knew that early this morning, he received an order from the general commander to pursue the Red Army, and he himself received a report from the forward position that the Red Army had fled.

Run? Where to run? Can you run? The large net laid by the chairman of the committee was enough to trap the remnants of the Red Army, who lacked food, clothing, guns and ammunition. It's a dead end everywhere, it's a dead end anyway, so why not add a few more luster to the 16th Division's record?

Fortunately, he moved quickly, and after receiving the order, he ordered the 48th Brigade to pursue, and he led the 47th Brigade to respond, and the 46th Brigade followed to protect the baggage. Just now, the forward company of the 47th Brigade reported that there seemed to be fierce gunfire in the direction of Xiaoshui, and sent a telegram to inquire about the 48th Brigade, saying that it had encountered a rear guard regiment of the Communist Army, which had been routed and was being pursued, and asked the division headquarters and the 47th Brigade to quickly follow up and serve as reinforcements.

It is necessary to speed up the march, lest the 48th Brigade encounter the main force of the Red Army and suffer losses; there will naturally be rewards for winning battles in these years, but it will be miserable if you lose battles; the eyes on Chairman Chiang's bald head are not white, they are much more fierce than Chairman He's.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liangji said to the chief of staff beside him: "Order the 46th Brigade to speed up and keep up with the main force." He also said to the commander of the 47th Brigade, Cheng Tiexia: "Commander Cheng, the 48th Brigade is fighting fiercely with the enemy, and we have an artillery battalion, so we must move forward quickly and provide fire support for the 48th Brigade." This kind of marching speed is not good, you have to run forward. Cheng Tiexia immediately said to the adjutant: "Pass the order of the master's seat, and the whole brigade will run forward." "When the enemy 47th Brigade boarded, the men shouted and shouted, and after a short period of confusion, they formed three columns and ran forward.

The commander of the enemy's forward company is a veteran, has participated in countless battles, and during the Northern Expedition, he followed He Jian to attack the Beiyang Army in the north, and he belonged to the kind of grassroots officers with very old qualifications in the Hunan Army. It's a pity that he can't read and write, and he can't get into He Jian's eyes, otherwise in He Jian's snowballing rapid development, he would have been a brigade commander and regiment commander a long time ago. The official position was not promoted, but the rich combat experience was real. Although he is running forward now, he has not let his guard down. For some reason, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him on the hillside of the road. This feeling is very wrong, and it seems to be a warning sign. He originally wanted the troops to stop and report their thoughts to Shangfeng, but as soon as he turned a corner, he saw that the small water village in the distance was so peaceful, and he felt that he was too careful. Just as he was about to continue running, he suddenly smelled a trace of blood in his nose, yes, it was blood, the kind of blood that was when thousands of soldiers died during the Central Plains War. The enemy company commander did not hesitate any longer, and immediately shouted: "Stop advancing." As soon as he said that, he heard a gunshot, and his head trembled, and he didn't know anything.

Zhang Liangji rolled off his horse and pulled out his pistol when the first shot rang out. The guards around him were not so lucky, they were all shot through the head, and Bai Huahua's brains and blood were mixed together and sprayed on Zhang Liangji's war horse, how disgusting and disgusting.

Zhang Liangji hid behind the war horse and looked at the opposite side, and he didn't know when a long heavy machine gun stretched out from the opposite mountain forest, and the muzzle of the gun was spitting tongues of fire at his 47th Brigade. Listening to the sound of gunfire, there are countless Czech light machine guns and submachine guns strafing, what kind of unit is this Red Army, the firepower is so powerful. Just as he was about to call out to the herald to order his troops to lie down on the spot, he heard a "sizzle" sound overhead, which he knew was the sound of a swarm of grenades about to fall.

It's over, it's over, the 47th Brigade is finished, the previous 48th Brigade must also be finished, the damn telegram sent by the 48th Brigade urging him to speed up the march must be the masterpiece of the Red Army after capturing the 48th Brigade radio operator, damn the operator, the damn 48th Brigade, if you die, you will die, and you will pull yourself back. Zhang Liangji was remorseful and angry, raised the pistol and was about to shoot at the opposite side, when a piece of shrapnel flew and hit his wrist, and the pistol fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

A Hunan soldier had just taken off his gun and had not yet opened the safety when he heard the sound of "poof, poof, poof" ringing around him, and he knew that it was the sound of a machine gun bullet when it entered the human body. When he looked around, there was no one standing around him, so he screamed "Mom" and ran towards the flat ground by the side of the road. Suddenly, one stumbled and fell to the ground on his back, his empty eyes fixed on the clouds in the sky.
