He Zhengdao, who was tricked by Hu Zongnan with the golden cicada shelling trick, felt a little depressed. But he quickly figured out that he would use Hu Zongnan's lieutenant general skin to spread the news of his capture.

In order to prevent Hu Zongnan from joining his troops, He Zhengdao also set up a blocking net on the way to escape. As long as Hu Zongnan dared to appear, he would not be able to escape the interception and killing of the reconnaissance regiment's blocking troops.

Accompanied by a reconnaissance battalion that had never been used, with the mortars used by He Zhengdao before, launched a surprise attack on the defenders of the city gate. The central army defending the city was taken by surprise, and soon the city gates were wide open.

'The Red Army is in the city!' Run away! ’

'Chief Hu has been captured by the Red Army! Everyone, run for your life! ’

'The Central Red Army has entered the city, brothers, run quickly! ’

When the city gate was opened, the fourth reconnaissance battalion that captured the city gate quickly changed into the uniform of the Red Army. With the help of other units of the reconnaissance group, they played intimidation tactics. The defenders of the city began to panic.

The most important thing is that they really can't contact Hu Zongnan at this moment. In the face of the Red Army that had already entered the city, many defenders chose to retreat rationally. But for these retreating defenders, the officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment, who also changed into Red Army uniforms, also began to block them.

The result was natural, although there were still people who were glad that they had escaped from the city. But more of the Central Army, which was blocked in front of the camp gate, finally surrendered to the Red Army. The people of the reconnaissance regiment gathered in the barracks in the city and took them into custody.

When the battle subsided, He Zhengdao said with a sigh of relief: "To the east, move all the captured heavy weapons to the city gate." on every city wall. Arrange a company of defenders, and tomorrow the whole city will be under martial law! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

gave Li Xiangdong a defensive order, and He Zhengdao found a telegraph operator and said: "Send a telegram to the headquarters, our department will take Songpan City tonight, and we have already destroyed Hu Zongnan's headquarters." It's just a pity. Hu Zongnan was not arrested alive, and he is still being searched.

The headquarters is requested to launch an encirclement and annihilation campaign as soon as possible in accordance with the actions of our troops. At the same time, send a telegram to the first division, and ask them to set off overnight, and let me come as quickly as possible. It is believed that within a day or two, even if Hu Zongnan is alive, he will not be able to contact his troops. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

The telegraph operator who had set up the radio station quickly sent out the two telegrams. And this time. Mao Taizu, who was far away in Heishui, also stayed awake all night. Because he knew that He Zhengdao, who led the attack tonight, should launch an attack on Songpan.

Seeing that the time passed little by little, it was not long before dawn. Mao Taizu, who had already smoked a pack of cigarettes, looked at the guard outside the door and said, "No news yet?" ”

'Nope! Commissar Mao, why don't you squint first! If there's any news, I'll call you later. ’

'Forget it! Then keep waiting! ’

Just when Mao Taizu turned around and went back to the room, he continued to light a cigarette and began to smoke. The guard standing outside the door. I saw Zhou Enlai, who pushed the door in, and said with a happy face: "Is Commissioner Mao asleep?" ”

'Vice-Chairman of the Reporting Week. No! ’

The guard, who had just replied, saw Mao Taizu, who had entered the house first, already standing at the door and said, "Enlai, is there any news?" ”

'Look! It seems that you are right, this kid is really powerful! With only more than 1,000 people in his hands, he really took Songpan City. It's a pity. Let Hu Zongnan run away. However, his lieutenant general's uniform seems to have been captured by Xiao He. ’

'Oh! Well, this battle is well fought! Send this telegram to the Red 1st and 3rd Red Army Corps. Let them attack overnight. Remember, it's all about the heart! I can't contact Songpan, I see how long these people dare to hold on. ’

Also receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao was an independent column that He Zhengdao was worried about. After receiving the telegram, the only division, which had just rested for a short time, immediately sounded the whistle for an urgent assembly.

The officers and men of the 1st Division, who had not taken off their clothes and rested, soon carried weapons and formed a whole team. After Zhang Cheng gave the order, he left the temporary camp in less than half an hour, and quickly attacked in the direction of Songpan with torches.

After He Zhengdao set out, the 1st Division, under the leadership of Zhang Cheng, took a covert march to bypass those easy roads. If possible, advance in the direction of Songpan, and at the same time prepare to defend against a sneak attack by the Central Army.

'Command all the regiments of the division to rush into Songpan within one day. The commander has taken Songpan, and we can make great strides. Don't pay attention to the defenders of those border cities, they don't dare to come out at this time. ’

Zhang Cheng, who gave the order to forcibly march, knew very well that He Zhengdao, who had taken Songpan at this moment, lacked troops in his hands. If they can't rush to support in time, I'm afraid that He Zhengdao and the reconnaissance group will be in a dangerous situation.

The main regimental commanders, who also knew this, also ordered the officers and men of the troops to advance quickly. It was a division that advanced lightly, and under the stimulation of victory, it burst out with infinite strength and quickly advanced in the direction of Songpan.

When it was dawn, looking at the Red Army that had taken over the whole city, and the people living in Songpan, they also felt that this Red Army was so powerful. A few days ago, I also heard that the Red Army was in Zhuokki, and they came here in the blink of an eye.

Most importantly, how did these Red Army take Songpan overnight?

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, but the strength of the Red Army can be regarded as a deep impression on the people of Songpan. Looking at the recruitment notices posted and the Tibetan and Qiang soldiers who acted as guides, many young people were a little moved.

He Zhengdao, who had already controlled the situation, looked at Li Xiangdong, who was a little tired from the night of fighting, and the three battalion commanders, and said with a smile: "Xiangdong, tell the comrades, hold on!" If all goes well, the first division will arrive at night.

As long as the first division arrives, this Songpan will truly belong to us. Even if Hu Zongnan escaped, he didn't want to counterattack Songpan City. By the way, the search team, haven't you found Hu Zongnan yet? ”

'Nope! The old guy was like a loach, and we followed him for a long time, but we didn't know where he was hiding. Now I don't know if he has taken advantage of the chaos to escape from the city. ’

'It's okay! Even if they escaped from the city, it would be a joke to counterattack Songpan with only those routs who escaped last night. Without a radio station, even if he sent troops for help, the nearest Pingwu garrison to Songpan. It will take at least a day to arrive for support.

Based on my judgment of the Central Army, I have not received Hu Zongnan's order, and the Central Army stationed in Pingwu will definitely not dare to come to the aid without authorization. In this way, back and forth, I want to wait for the reinforcements of Pingwu. Presumably, our first division has already entered the city.

Coupled with the main force of the column that came one after another, with our independent column, I can also make Hu Zongnan's reinforcements come and go. What we have to do now is to hold on for a day and wait for the arrival of the first division. ’

After expressing their analysis, the officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment, who were accustomed to bearing high pressure, also knew that persistence was victory. In addition to being vigilant from the outside, patrols in the city are also very tight.

Just as Ho Zhengdao expected, I changed into a normal soldier's uniform last night. In the end, Hu Zongnan, who took advantage of the chaos to escape from Songpan. It wasn't until dawn that he connected with the rout who had escaped from Songpan.

Looking at Hu Zongnan, who was still alive, wearing an ordinary soldier's military uniform, Hu Zongnan's old subordinates all knew what was going on with the lieutenant general's uniform. It seems that this military commander escaped in embarrassment last night!

'What is the situation in the city now?' ’

'Report to the military seat, not very clear!' Last night the situation was too chaotic, and the brothers were only concerned about breaking through. In addition to the weapons and ammunition that you carry with you. Everything else was left in town. However, the Red Army does not seem to have sent people out of the city to pursue them. ’

Hu Zongnan, who has calmed down. Looking at the troops that were called up one after another, there were also about 3,000 people. It's just that these escaped troops, although the weapons are still retained, there is not much ammunition left.

Thinking of this, Hu Zongnan, who was very fortunate to be able to escape from the city, never thought about recapturing Songpan at all. If this is a full-fledged main regiment. Perhaps he would try to recapture Songpan while the Red Army was still on hold.

Hu Zongnan, who knew that he was finally safe, thought of the Red Army that attacked his headquarters last night, and somewhat understood that there were not many Red Army troops infiltrated into the city by the other side. And the information fed back by the troops who escaped from the city also proved his judgment.

But right now. Although he still has more than 3,000 troops on his hands. But there were no heavy weapons at all, and there was little ammunition. Not to mention the counterattack on Songpan City, it is really blocked by the Red Army, and it is difficult to even protect itself.

'Forget it! Just let the Red Army be proud! Signal corps was dispatched to report to the garrison of Pingwu City. We also began to retreat to Pingwu. Even if the Red Army takes Songpan, it will not be so easy for them to go north smoothly! ’

Because of Hu Zongnan's cowardice, He Zhengdao, who took Songpan, finally waited for the only division that arrived at night. Looking at these mentally exhausted, but well-organized Red Army troops entered the city, the people in the city were shocked.

Tens of thousands of horses entered the city, and the shock was self-evident. With the arrival of the only division, Songpan can be regarded as stable as Mount Tai. And this day was a very difficult day for the Central Army stationed in various parts of Songpan.

Last night, they were awakened by a night attack and learned that the city of Songpan had been taken by the Red Army, and their commander Hu had also been killed. The defenders of the city undoubtedly seemed to be terrified. When the battle was fought again during the day, the officers who could no longer contact Songpan were also blinded.

Troops were sent to surround these city passes, and the rest of the armies swaggered and advanced towards Songpan. Under the influence of one another, many of the encircled Central Army finally chose to surrender to the Red Army.

The independent column that was supposed to be in the rear, because He Zhengdao took Songpan City, and soon the guards became forwards. The main force of the column, after removing a few nails on the way forward, soon also entered Songpan City.

Just waited until Xiao Jinguang entered the city and saw Zhang Cheng who came to greet him, and said very confusedly: "Zhang Cheng, where is the commander?" ”

'Report to the commissar, the commander led the reconnaissance regiment with a main regiment to attack Ruoergai. ’

'Nonsense! How can a dignified commander always think about fighting on the front line! ’

Even if he thinks He Zhengdao is a bit nonsense, Xiao Jinguang knows that Ruoergai is also very important to the Central Red Army. Take there, and the Red Army will have more options on the route to the north!
