As the Red Army began its Long March, the Central Army, which followed the Red Army into the southwest, also took this opportunity to continuously expand the area under its control. As for the Gui warlords and the Hunan army led by He Jian, even Chairman Jiang did not dare to do it casually.

In addition, the Gui army and the Hunan army carried out the order very thoroughly in the matter of encircling and suppressing the Red Army. In the first battle of the Xiangjiang River, the main force of the Red Army was lost by more than half. With such a record, many generals of the Central Army must admit that both the Gui Army and the Hunan Army have contributed to it.

If Chairman Jiang also played the technique of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, I believe that the Gui army and the Hunan army would not obediently wait for death. However, the Guizhou army formed by Wang Jialie had many problems in itself, and it was defeated in the encirclement and suppression war.

This kind of soft persimmon, plus the excuse of sending it to the door, how could Chairman Jiang not grasp it!

Wang Jialie, who wanted to take advantage of the Red Army's departure from Zunyi and manage Zunyi well, never dreamed that the Red Army would turn the gun around. The main force that had managed to gather him was embarrassed and fled again, and had to flee to Qianxi again.

It's just that Wang Jialie, who has lost his territory, can't pay the army's salary at all. On this, Chairman Chiang first stuck on the military salary, and then encouraged the Guizhou army to make trouble, and bribed his two henchmen and division commanders with heavy money.

Wang Jialie, whose territory was occupied and military power was seized, was undoubtedly doomed. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Jialie was also a warlord, I was afraid that Chairman Chiang would have ordered his military law to be carried out in the name of defeat.

The 25th Army, which still had more than 20,000 people, was soon reorganized into the 102nd and 103rd Divisions by Chairman Chiang. The two newly recruited division commanders also became the division commanders of the two Central Armies to ensure the stability of these remnants of the army to the greatest extent.

Perhaps it is because he thinks that the main force of the Red Army is now in the southern Sichuan border, and there are still encirclement and suppression armies from all directions. Even in a military town like Renhuai, because of the change of the top level of the Qianjun army during this time, only one main regiment was left to guard it.

When Li Xiangdong took the guard company and infiltrated Renhuai City, he soon found that the information provided by Wu Zhefeng was correct. Today's Renhuai City, except for a main regiment of the Guizhou Army that has been redressed and reorganized, the rest are attached to some militia troops.

Even so, the entire Renhuai City, plus the surrounding security battalions, has less than 5,000 troops. When such a situation was summarized into He Zhengdao's hands, He Zhengdao knew that Renhuai City had made up his mind.

Reconvening the four battalion commanders, He Zhengdao pointed to several towns around Renhuai City and said, "Starting tomorrow, each of your four battalions will be responsible for one town, and give me the fastest speed to wipe out the militia groups stationed inside."

At seven o'clock tomorrow night, the siege of Renhuai will officially begin. The reconnaissance company will be in the city to pick up. I have only one request, that the city be cleared of the remnants of the enemy before dawn. The soldiers are fast, and after going down, the battalions will set off! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

The four battalion commanders, who received the order, once again rushed to the outside of the town they were responsible for. The battalion commander, who was relatively close to Moutai, launched an attack that night. Someone had already infiltrated the town in advance, and such a battle naturally ended quickly.

Also resting in Maotai Town until the early hours of the morning, He Zhengdao led the logistics battalion to embark on the road to Renhuai again. The news of the successful completion of the mission of the other four main battalions was quickly summarized by He Zhengdao.

In each town, He Zhengdao kept a company to guard. After the main force has defeated Renhuai, they will carry the materials captured by the town and join the main force. It also prevents the news from reaching Renhuai City in advance.

When He Zhengdao arrived outside Renhuai City with the main force of the four battalions that converged one after another. The personnel sent by the reconnaissance company also handed over a detailed map of Renhuai City to He Zhengdao.

Compared with later generations, this is a county-level city, but today's Renhuai is a small county town. Although there are corresponding city fortifications, compared with a large city like Guiyang, this kind of city fortification is still relatively simple.

After reading the deployment map provided by the reconnaissance company, He Zhengdao felt that there was no need to attack head-on. In his opinion, it was quite possible to send the main battalion of two battalions into the city in advance before the offensive began.

In He Zhengdao's view, the next battle is more in the city. The warehouses guarded by the regular army, as well as the barracks, were all places where the independent regiment needed to raid.

As for these officers and soldiers defending the city, as long as they capture the warehouses and barracks, they don't have much ability to resist. As for the remaining two main battalions, they can be deployed outside the city to act as a blockade to prevent the Guizhou army from escaping.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao called Yao Shengjun and Wang Tianlin, the deputy head of the regiment, and said: "Political commissar, wait a minute, you will command the fourth battalion and the logistics battalion, and act as a guard outside the county town to prevent possible reinforcements."

As for the deputy commander, you will command the three battalions and launch a feint attack on the Guizhou army defending the county seat. Try to attract the attention of the defending troops, and the rest of the 1st and 2nd battalions, under my personal command, attack the enemy's barracks and supply warehouses. ”

Wang Tianlin, who heard this order, immediately said: "Regiment commander, you are the commander, you can't always think about going to the front line!" The battle in the city, let me go! You're out there with the commissar, how's that? ”

Regarding Wang Tianlin's words, He Zhengdao said with some tears and laughter: "Tianlin, we have come all the way, and it is not the first time that you have seen me go to the front line to fight. Why do you always feel that it is inappropriate for me to fight on the front line now?

Before the battle, the first thing I need to do is blow up the other party's radio and headquarters. Do you think you're better than me when it comes to operating mortars? As long as we knock out the enemy's radio, we will win half the battle.

And this kind of sneak attack, I have more experience than you. Therefore, if this kind of commander cannot go to the front line in the future, don't bother you to say it. Don't say that I am a regiment commander, Mr. Zhu also went to the front line to fight in person a few days ago!

The situation today is not the same as it used to be in the Soviet zone. We have to do it, at the least cost, in exchange for the biggest victory. This kind of night fight, I ask myself, is better at than you. That's it! ”

The sentence 'It's so decided' made Wang Tianlin and Yao Shengjun feel helpless. But they must admit that in this kind of sneak attack, He Zhengdao has proved with countless victories that he is more suitable to be a commander than them.

Under He Zhengdao's order, the 1st and 2nd Battalions wearing the uniforms of the Central Army, under the guidance of the guide of the reconnaissance company, quickly entered Renhuai City. And at this time, the Qianjun army in the city still didn't notice anything.

As for the patrol team arranged by the Guizhou army in the city, when the two main battalions entered the city, they had already been solved in advance by the reconnaissance company. The Qianjun troops patrolling the city now are actually fakes from the reconnaissance company.

Looking at the barracks illuminated by the lights in front of him, He Zhengdao looked at the location of the barracks radio station pointed out by Li Xiangdong. Let the mortar company that followed its actions begin to set up artillery and prepare for a formal surprise attack on the barracks in front of them.

He Zhengdao, who personally carried out artillery aiming, confirmed the shelling parameters with his thumb. Such a method, although the artillery battalion commander Zhu Definition will also. But the accuracy, he asked himself not as good as He Zhengdao.

All kinds of mortars directly under the mortar company, except for a few aimed at the machine gun positions and sentry posts at the entrance of the barracks, the rest of the mortars were aimed at the location of the telegraph room.

After the final confirmation, He Zhengdao looked at the prepared artillery and said calmly: "Three rapid fires, release!" ”

As He Zhengdao's order was issued, the sound of 'tom tom' soon sounded in the temporarily constructed artillery position. In the face of this roaring mortar shell, the resting Qian army inside was completely defenseless.

'Enemy attack! ’

After some officers who had not yet rested shouted such words, many officers and soldiers of Guizhou who had been awakened also hurriedly rushed out of the dormitory with their weapons. But in the face of the overwhelming mortar shells and the sound of killing, these officers and soldiers were stunned!

As for the barracks headquarters and the motor room, in the first round of shelling, they have become full of holes. The machine-gun positions and sentries in front of the barracks were also declared annihilated in the first round of shelling.

Three rounds of rapid shelling ended, in addition to the mortars aimed at the depths of the barracks, which continued after the firing of shells. The main force of the first battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, made an earth-shattering killing sound and quickly rushed into the military camp in front.

The light machine guns used intensively shot the Guizhou troops who rushed out of the barracks one by one. The Red Army soldiers who followed up also began to take control of the barracks' houses, clear out the recalcitrant Guizhou army, and collect the frightened prisoners.

Seeing that the first battalion had already rushed into the barracks, He Zhengdao also understood that this barracks was successfully taken by them. At this time, in the direction of the warehouse, which was also guarded by the Qianjun, there was also a earth-shattering sound of guns and cannons.

He Zhengdao, who was worried about the setback of the attack, still ordered: "Zhang Cheng, I will hand over the responsibility of your battalion here." As long as they surrender, don't rush them all to death. Gather the captives and wait for my orders. I'll go to the second camp and have a look! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

When He Zhengdao ran to the warehouse in charge of the second battalion, he also saw that the battle had been declared over. Although there have been some casualties, they have been kept in the single digits. But this situation still makes He Zhengdao feel uncomfortable.

But he still said: "Quickly bandage the injured brother and send it to the health team for rescue." Give them any good medicine! ”

The wounded soldier who heard this also felt warm in his heart. Although it is unfortunate to be injured, but what about the immortals in the war? After all, the Qianjun guarding the warehouse also has money in their hands, not burning sticks!
