Chapter 071: Special Operations
Dingbian County is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo provinces, and belongs to the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Ordos desert grassland.
Since the victory of the Battle of Wuqi Town, the surrounding militia forces have a deep fear of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, who would have thought that a group of remnants of the defeated army could completely annihilate six elite cavalry regiments, for a time they all regarded the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army as the heavenly soldiers and generals in the world, and they were afraid that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would point the finger at themselves.
Since the advent of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in '27, rumors of demonization of the Datong Party have grown, especially among the landlords and gentry, who are often the first to be attacked by the Red Army everywhere.
Yuan Longhai, as the militia group of Dingbian County, bore the brunt of the attack, but he didn't know what was going on, after the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army arrived in the northwest, the matter of dividing the land was still being done, but the matter of fighting local tyrants stopped. Not only that, but their slogans also changed, saying what was to resist Japan, which made Yuan Longhai confused.
Originally, he thought that the Red Army was just shouting and would not take any actual action, but he did not expect that when the Red Army expanded its territory, it did not directly move Dingbian County, which is next to Wuqi County, but sent people over to publicize the policy of the "anti-Japanese united front."
Although Yuan Longhai has read a little book, he is still a big old man in essence, the Japanese are so far away from him, and he has no feeling at all about whether he resists Japan or not, and the only thing he is worried about is the gun in his hand and the money bag in his purse.
Dingbian County has a long history and is also considered wealthy in the northwest region, and one of the keys is the local three treasures - raw salt, fur and licorice.
As the only raw salt source in the northwest region, Dingbian County is rich and oily, and has always been the focus of competition among warlords from all walks of life.
The Red Army did not take the initiative to attack him and levied various taxes on him, so he nodded and agreed to the so-called "anti-Japanese united front" and barely managed to maintain peace for several months.
What Yuan Longhai did not expect was that the attack of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army did not wait, but waited for the news that the Central Army was preparing to encircle and suppress the Red Army. Not long ago, he received an order from above, asking these militia groups to cooperate in the encirclement and suppression of the workers' and peasants' Red Army, which made him very happy for a long time.
As everyone knows, the Datong Party has always been a serious problem for the Standing Committee Chairman, and in order to exterminate the Datong Party, the Chairman of the Party will dare to do any good, and if an irregular force like them wants to become regular, it can only seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although the opportunity is rare, Yuan Longhai doesn't want to be someone else's cannon fodder, this time he doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune, but he wants to follow the ass of the Central Army to eat a little leftovers.
In order to cooperate with this encirclement and suppression well, Yuan Longhai took a lot of family funds out to let his brothers eat and drink well, so that they could sell their lives when the time came.
On this day, Yuan Longhai was drinking with several of his henchmen, and was fantasizing about the future prosperity, but one of his personal guards rushed in in a panic and slammed the closed door with a loud bang.
was disturbed by the wine, Yuan Longhai immediately scolded directly: "Which king and eight lambs dare to disturb Lao Tzu's wine, don't you want to live?" ”
Yuan Longhai was usually majestic, and his every move made his subordinates feel silent, but at this time, the guard who rushed in was not afraid at all, but took a few breaths and said, "Team training...... Group training, a group of Red Army came outside? ”
"Red Army?"
Hearing the name of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Yuan Longhai's wine instantly sobered up for the most part, grabbed the shell gun placed on the wine table, staggered to his feet, and said, "Red Army, where is the Red Army?" ”
As soon as Yuan Longhai's words fell, seven or eight soldiers dressed in colorful colors rushed in one after another outside the gate that had just been knocked open, and the first one followed Yuan Longhai's words and said: "Yuan Tuanlian, I didn't expect you to yearn for our workers' and peasants' Red Army so much, and as soon as you heard our name, you were eager to know where we were. ”
Seeing someone rushing in, Yuan Longhai instinctively wanted to pull out the gun, but the man who spoke just now was agile, and before he finished speaking, his shell gun was not only seized by the other party, but the whole person was also restrained by the other party with a few moves.
At the same time, the few henchmen who were already drunk at the wine table were even more unbearable, and they were tied up without any resistance.
Although he was captured, Yuan Longhai was not convinced, according to the rules of the road, only a hero can be regarded as a hero if he does a real thing with a knife and a gun, and such a sneak attack in secret can only be regarded as a means of indiscriminate use.
Seeing his angry appearance, the commando captain Zhong Linrui couldn't help but lean close to his ear and asked, "What?" Yuan Tuanlian doesn't seem to be convinced? ”
"Convince a bird, you sneak attack Lao Tzu in the middle of the night, what kind of hero are you, if you have the ability, let's go out and practice alone." Hearing Zhong Linrui's ridicule, Yuan Longhai scolded directly.
"Heroes?" Zhong Linrui didn't expect that this Yuan Longhai still had some habits in the rivers and lakes, and said with a smile, "Yuan Tuanlian, now is the war, not the brave and ruthless on the rivers and lakes, if you want to practice with me alone, you can wait until the war is over, I will definitely let you understand what a real hero is, and now it is best to cooperate with our work." ”
"Work with you?" Yuan Longhai really couldn't imagine that he had been arrested, and what else did the Red Army want him to cooperate.
After Zhong Linrui instructed the commandos to tie up the others, he let go of Yuan Longhai, who had been disarmed, and helped him sort out his already messy clothes by the way, and then said: "Yuan Tuanlian, presumably you are no stranger to the policy of our Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, originally our well water does not interfere with river water, and we have coexisted peacefully for several months without incident, I don't know why you want to unite with the Central Army to attack our Workers' and Peasants' Red Army this time?" ”
"Attacking the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army? How dare I? After being plotted, Yuan Longhai was still very cautious when it was related to his own life.
The encirclement and suppression of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was a completely secret operation, and not many people knew about it, and he only learned about it yesterday, so he really couldn't figure out how the Red Army knew about it. Not only did he learn about it, but he also started in advance to wipe out his Dingbian County militia.
Despite this, Yuan Longhai would not admit it at all, and pretended to be stupid and said to Zhong Linrui: "Comrade, I have always kept in mind the policy of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, stop the civil war and resist the Japanese invaders, I dare not forget it for a day, how can I unite with the Central Army to attack the Red Army?" Besides, as far as my militia guns are concerned, the Central Army may not be able to look at them. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know what you're thinking?" Zhong Linrui ignored his pretending to be stupid, and said very bluntly, "We can ignore the things in the Red Army before, but from now on, if you have a little half-heartedness, the bullets in my gun are not vegetarian." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, my Yuan Longhai's heart has always been towards our workers and peasants Red Army, the Red Army wants me to go east, I will never go west, I want me to fight devils, I will take my brothers with me without saying a word." Zhong Linrui's words have been said so bluntly, Yuan Longhai didn't dare to think crookedly at all.
To say that although his Dingbian county town is not impregnable, it is also heavily defended, and ordinary people can't touch it at all, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the border county. But if the Red Army didn't move, he would arrest him as soon as he moved, which really made him see what a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general is.
Although he was very unconvinced at first, and threatened to practice with Zhong Linrui alone, in fact, he also knew that this time it was fortunately in the hands of the Red Army, and in terms of the Red Army's tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners, he should not suffer much, if it was replaced by other forces, it would be difficult to say.
Seeing his nodding and bowing appearance, Zhong Linrui didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Yuan Tuanlian, now your Dingbian county has been completely surrounded by our workers' and peasants' Red Army, including yourself, you have become our prisoner, if you know each other, let your subordinates in the city obediently come out and accept the incorporation, and you can still be a national hero when you fight devils in the future." ”
Although he didn't want to admit it, Yuan Longhai still knew that he was completely finished, not only did he fail to follow the central army to eat and drink spicy, but he lost his own militia and Dingbian County.
But all this has long been expected by him, and now in this troubled world, if you have a gun, you are the king of grass, and you can live a good life for a day. Originally, after the Central Red Army arrived in the northwest, he thought that his good days were over, but he didn't expect that he would be able to live a few more comfortable days, and he could still earn it.
It's just that this time the Central Army is menacing, and the Red Army seems to be in danger, but they really don't want to defect to the Red Army at this time. But now that it has fallen into the hands of the Red Army, the power to choose is no longer in his hands, and it is better to admit it for the sake of his own life.
Since Dingbian County is relatively wealthy, Yuan Longhai's subordinates are not a lot at all, with nearly a thousand guns, if it weren't for these hard powers, he would not be able to sit in his current position.
It is also because the armed forces of the Dingbian County People's League are not small, and at the combat meeting, the first division of Cheng Zhigeng's division, as the main force, did not choose to attack, but infiltrated and raided by a small group of troops and carried out a decapitation operation.
Ever since he saw the special operation that Li Keji gave him, Cheng Zhigeng has always longed for this kind of battle, especially in the civil war, to be able to reduce combat losses as much as possible, which is the thing that every military commander desires the most, and the special operation just meets this standard.
It's just that the soldiers of the special operation are all the elite of the elite, and they need more systematic and professional military training, and the cost is far higher than that of ordinary troops.
After several months of training, the first batch of special fighters was finally released, and Cheng Zhigeng put them into the first battle sequence, even real gold needs the real test of fire. In these days of training, the special forces have suffered from the envy of many people, and if they don't get a little results, they are afraid that they will not be able to stop their mouths.
