Chapter 42: Finally Connected!
The independent regiment stationed in Jinping, in order to ensure that the camouflage of the whole regiment was not detected by the people in the city and the Guizhou army. Directly in the city, the so-called 'barracks of the army' was built, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Except for one main battalion, which took over the city defense of Jinping, the rest of the main forces. They all rested in the designated barracks, and many of the Red Army soldiers who were rescued along the way also gained valuable time to recuperate.
As the radio station was set up, He Zhengdao, who received the call that afternoon, also seemed very surprised. personally made the town telecommunications room, instructed Sun Shicheng to contact the other party, and asked the other party's identity.
is worried about where this independent regiment is hiding, and whether it will be surrounded and annihilated. It was also very surprising to learn that he had contacted the radio station of the Independent Regiment, and he also came to the telecommunications room.
The ordered: "Tell the Independent Regiment that we are the Red Second Front." Also, let them know where they are at the moment. ”
When the telegram was received, He Zhengdao looked at Yao Shengjun beside him and said with a smile: "It seems that the people we rescued in Jingzhou City should have successfully returned to the base of the Red Second Front Army." This is Mr. He's telegram! ”
'Yes! We're finally in touch with the troops! I don't know, the headquarters knows our news! ’
Thinking of being scattered and captured in the end, Yao Shengjun actually felt a little ashamed. It's just that when he was captured, he was already in a complete coma. When I woke up, I found that I had been captured.
I believe that those former comrades-in-arms probably thought he had sacrificed!
Call back and let me know where the regiment is. In addition, please congratulate Mr. He, whether the news headquarters of our department has been informed. In addition, our department has a batch of supplies, which we hope to transfer to the headquarters as soon as possible. ’
After receiving the telegram from the Independent Regiment, Mr. He immediately said: "Come on, spread the map!" ”
After the map was rolled out, Mr. He quickly found Jinping City, where the independent regiment was located. Looking at the information sent by the headquarters, Mr. He said with a look of disbelief: "Are they bold and hairy? Dare to get into the heart of the enemy? ”
According to the enemy report from the headquarters, many units of the Central Army were stationed near Jinping. In addition, there are some cooperative combat units of the Gui army. Coupled with the Hunan army on the border, it can be described as a large army gathering!
At this time, the political appointee was also skeptical: "This can't be that the enemy is pretending to be an independent regiment and liaising with us, right?" ”
'Probably not!' This frequency of contact was conveyed by our fighters themselves. We've been in contact for the past few days, but we haven't been able to get in touch with them. It was only today that I found out that their radio station was turned on.
Also, if they were impersonated by the Central Army, do you think they would be so bold to tell us directly, where they are at the moment? I'm really curious, though, how they do it. ’
Send a telegram to ask, won't you? ’
As this inquiry telegram was received, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Political commissar, it seems that our boss He is a little suspicious of our identity." Then we will also report to them on our actions in the past few days! ”
When Mr. He received the telegram, he learned that the Independent Regiment was currently pretending to be the 704th Regiment of the Central Army to garrison Jinping. The real 704th Regiment of the Central Army had already been completely annihilated by the Independent Regiment, and Mr. He was also shocked.
I really can't imagine that the independent regiment has such strength. Behind enemy lines, the main force of the Central Army was completely annihilated, and it was also grandiosely pretended to be stationed in Jinping City. This He Zhengdao, he is really good at using swords to go sideways! ’
According to the intelligence from the headquarters, combined with the intelligence sources of the Red Second Front Army, Mr. He looked at the map and knew that on his military map, the troops stationed in Jinping were the 704th Regiment of the Central Army.
It's just that no one would have thought that this main regiment of the Central Army would be replaced by an independent regiment. This is really a bit of a 'havoc in the heavenly palace'! Mr. He also knows that the slightest carelessness will bring serious consequences.
While the two parties continued to communicate with the radio, Ren Bishi also said: "Boss, I think it's better to report to the headquarters." At this time, I am afraid that the headquarters will also want to know the news of the independent regiment. What's more, the headquarters really needs support now! ”
Although the Gui Army and the Central Army of the Red Second Front Army were encircled and suppressed, a large part of them entered Guizhou to pursue the main force of the Red Army. But on the front line of Xiangxi, He Jian and the main force of the Gui army still surrounded them.
Although the Red Second Front Army launched a series of battles, attracting some firepower for the main force. But the far water could not save the near fire, and the main force of the Red Army, which had now left Zunyi, was blocked again after entering Sichuan.
The most fatal thing was that the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army once again set up a heavy encirclement in front of the Red Army's march. For a time, the main force of the Red Army, which had moved to the Sichuan-Yunnan border, was still not optimistic.
When the headquarters received a telegram from the Red Second Side, Mao Taizu, who was also thinking about the battle plan, was also surprised: "They are really bold, the strength of a regiment is actually stationed in the heart of the enemy. ”
On the contrary, Zhou Enlai, who came over with a telegram, said in a timely manner: "Lao Mao, if the information from Mr. He is correct, I am afraid that this move taken by the independent group is still a good move!" Didn't you think about returning to Zunyi again?
If our main force returns, I believe that the encirclement and suppression troops near Zunyi will swarm in. At that time, the independent regiment pretending to be the 704th Regiment should also be transferred to participate in the encirclement and suppression. Isn't it better that we have a better chance of winning? ”
Mao Taizu, who heard Zhou Enlai's suggestion, thought for a while and said, "It's better to contact the independent group first and ask them about their situation at the moment." Don't tell them about our battle plan for the time being, and focus on preserving our own strength. ”
From the map of the distribution of friends and enemies, Mao Taizu can also see that the position of the independent regiment is very dangerous. Once the impersonation's deeds are revealed, calm the encirclement and suppression army near Jinping, but I am afraid that it will encircle and annihilate this independent regiment behind enemy lines.
When he received a call from the headquarters, He Zhengdao was also very happy and said: "Political commissar, it's a telegram from Commissar Mao!" We're finally in touch with HQ! Let's quickly ask where the current headquarters is located! ”
After receiving the reply from the headquarters, He Zhengdao looked at the military map and knew that this was the location of the Red Army after crossing the Chishui. Then next, there should not be much time for the Red Army to cross Chishui for the second time!
Thinking of this, He Zhengdao quickly wrote a detailed report on the formation of the independent regiment to the present. In the telegram, he also told the headquarters that the independent regiment currently had a list of supplies and medicines, and wanted to transfer it to the headquarters as soon as possible.
Looking at this long telegram, Mao Taizu and Zhou Enlai both felt. It is simply incredible that the independent regiment has grown from He Zhengdao alone to the current scale.
What shocked them even more was that it was an independent regiment that started from scratch and almost never lost any battles. Even if they captured many county towns of the Gui army and the Hunan army, but still did not reveal their whereabouts, this is too rare!
Even Mao Taizu sighed: "I really can't imagine that this kid still has the ability to command battles like this!" ”
Mr. Zhu, who also heard this, also said with a smile: "It seems that it is a bit overkill to let him be the commander of the guard company for you before." This kid, if you use it well, is also a member of our Red Army! ”
Regarding the words of the two, Zhou Enlai said with a headache: "Lao Mao, boss, what do you think we should do to receive this batch of materials." Whether it is guns, ammunition or medicines, they are all urgently needed by us! ”
Only Mao Taizu looked at the map and said: "It seems that this time, we can't fight Zunyi if we want to." Electricity was sent to the independent regiment, and the headquarters approved the formation of their independent regiment. From today onwards, the separate regiment is under the command of the headquarters.
In addition, let them pay attention to the military dispatch of the Central Army and the Guizhou Army. Protect the supplies and wait for orders from the headquarters at any time. If there is a chance, it is best for them to move to the front line of Weng'an.
If you can't find a fighter, it's important to preserve your own strength. If the situation is not right, you can withdraw to the front line of Xiangxi and join the Red Second Front Army. As for our battle plan, we'll tell them when it's started. ”
Although Mao Taizu also wanted to order the independent regiment to bring those supplies to the headquarters as soon as possible. But Mao Taizu knew very well that in today's situation of heavy encirclement and suppression, it is beyond imagination for the independent regiment to smoothly converge with the headquarters.
What he can do now with the Independent Regiment is to find the right time in the process of changing to war. If the independent regiment can be stationed near Weng'an, perhaps the main force can also send troops to meet the independent regiment at that time.
But Mao Taizu suddenly felt that if the independent regiment was used well, it might play an unimaginable role. At least the combat experience reported by He Zhengdao made him feel that He Zhengdao's command ability could be trusted.
With such a commander who is good at winning by surprise, perhaps the independent regiment will bring more unpredictable good news to the main force in the heart of the enemy. Perhaps, Guizhou, which was troubled by them, will become chaotic again.
As long as the pace of the enemy's encirclement and suppression was disrupted, Mao Taizu believed that he could find the right fighter and once again make the encirclement and suppression army return in vain. What he has to do now is to mobilize the encirclement and suppression army again. As long as the enemy moves, there will always be fighters!
