After arranging the combat mission, Liu Hua returned to his room, thinking about Zhang Zhenhan in history, you must know that Zhang Zhenhan has helped the Red Army in history, and is a graduate of the second artillery department of the Baoding Army Military Academy, after the Red Army transferred to Yan'an, he served as a military tactics instructor at the Red Army University, and made great contributions to the Chinese revolution.

At this time, Liu Hua thought of a mountain artillery battalion in Zhang Zhenhan's division, and finally decided to capture Zhang Zhenhan, hoping that he could help the Red Army like history.

After the same incident, Liu Hua lay on the bed, fell asleep quietly, Qiao Ling's beautiful face appeared in his mind, Liu Hua smiled, and just like that, fell asleep with a smile.

The next day, Liu Hua got up very early, finished breakfast, and took the political commissar, Li Qing and others to the headquarters of the Second Division, at this time the troops had been assembled according to the predetermined plan and were waiting for the order of the corps commander. Seeing the arrival of the corps commander, the plateau greeted him.

"Corps Commander, Political Commissar, Director Li, you are here, the troops have been assembled and are waiting for the departure order." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Then go," Liu Hua ordered, and did not dismount, but directly followed the troops. At the head was the German reconnaissance company of the 2nd Division, and the troops followed behind the reconnaissance company, slowly advancing. In this way, after a day and a night of marching, the troops finally quietly bypassed Yujiaping and came to the vicinity of Taozi Creek to hide and stand by.

Seeing that the troops were already in place, Sun Xingbang of the first division also received an order from the commander of the corps and began to attack Yujiaping, with the order of the division commander Sun, the 12 mortars of the artillery company made a dull sound, and in less than a few seconds, the 12 shells accurately fell on the enemy barracks that the reconnaissance company had detected in advance, and in the face of the continuous fall of 12 mortar shells in a group, the barracks exploded instantly, and the soldiers could not find the commander, the commander could not find the soldiers, and they all ran around without dying. Clever and began to run outside Yujiaping, but as soon as he ran to the entrance of the city, he was knocked down in a pool of blood by the oncoming heavy machine guns.

Soon, the division commander Sun Xingbang issued the first feint order, a regiment and a battalion slowly touched Yujiaping under the cover of heavy machine guns of artillery fire, as the town got closer and closer, the commander of a battalion issued an attack order, instantly, all the firepower of a battalion began to spray ammunition on the enemy position, a large number of kills and wounds of the enemy, soon, a company of the Hubei army stationed in the outermost part of the casualties were mostly half, the enemy company commander looked at the dense firepower of a battalion, and finally couldn't help it, and took the lead to run to the rear.

As the so-called tree fell Hu Sun San, the company commander ran away, and the soldiers at the bottom were naturally unwilling to die, and naturally dispersed, and the commander of a battalion occupied the peripheral position after paying the price of several soldiers killed, and when he was about to carry out a further attack, he was suddenly hit by intensive firepower, and his own troops fell several soldiers in an instant, looking at the sacrificed comrades, the battalion commander endured the idea of charging, and led the troops to stick to the enemy's front-line position.

While the 1st Battalion was occupying the enemy's front-line positions, several other directions in Yujiaping were also occupied with a small number of casualties from the 1st Division.

At this time, guarding Yujiaping was a brigade commander under Zhang Zhenhan, and he was also Zhang Zhenhan's cousin, and when he received that his troops had lost all the front-line positions, and had lost nearly a battalion of men and horses, he immediately became anxious. Immediately ordered the troops to strengthen the defense of the second-line position, and gave a death order: "Whoever loses the position, shoots whom." ”

While giving orders, he ordered the telegraph operator to hurry up to his cousin for help, listening to the sound of explosions getting closer and closer, he was completely anxious, and sent telegrams for help one after another, and at this time, except for the artillery of the first division constantly carrying out artillery bombardment, and the three heavy machine gun companies saw whether the outcropping enemy troops were hit with machine guns, the other troops were dragging and resting, waiting for the order of the corps commander to finally carry out a general attack.

"Division commander, division commander, no, something happened." Zhang Zhenhan, who was eating breakfast, was disturbed by the shouting of the adjutant.

"What's the panic, it's not that the sky is falling, look at what you're panicking, talk slowly." is worthy of being a graduate of Baoding Military Academy, and he is really calm when he encounters things.

"Report to the division commander, Brigade Commander Zhang was attacked by the communist army in Yujiaping, all the front-line positions have been lost, and the troops have lost almost a regiment, and they are trapped in the position, and the request is to do reinforcements." The adjutant who was reprimanded by the division said.

"Well, is this what you look like a soldier, let's go, go to the war room." The reason why Zhang Zhenhan was not in a hurry was because he knew his cousin too well, and there should be no problem with the loss of positions, but the casualties of a regiment must have water, and there was also contempt for the communist army. In his eyes, how could the broken guns of the communist army destroy one of their own regiments so quickly?

"Chief of Staff, what's going on now?" Zhang Zhenhan asked unhurriedly.

"Report to the division commander, the defenders of Yujiaping are confronting the communist army in the second-line position, and you can hear from the phone that the communist army besieging the city has mortars, which should be the main force of He Long." The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.

"Well, okay, this time I finally caught He Long's main force, haha, order: leave the first brigade and three regiments to defend Taoyuan County, the second brigade and the third brigade, and the mountain artillery battalion will immediately go out of the city to reinforce the first brigade with me, this time we must eliminate He Long's main force." Zhang Zhenhan commanded confidently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, Zhang Zhenhan's division headquarters began to be busy. The entire Taoyuan County was moved, how could such a big movement be hidden from the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion of the Seventh Army who had infiltrated Taoyuan? Soon, the information was quickly transmitted in front of Liu Hua.

"Report to the corps commander, according to the investigation of the scouts in the city, Zhang Zhenhan's division has an abnormal movement and is being assembled, which should be reinforcements for Yujiaping. The number of enemy reinforcements and the sequence of their journeys are being scouted. ”

"Well, very good, let the reconnaissance battalion continue to investigate, order the troops to stop resting, check the weapons and ammunition, the artillery battalion and all the artillery batteries, heavy machine gun companies, heavy machine gun battalions, you can build positions now. Send a report to Master Sun, so that his attack is less powerful and does not cause too many casualties. Liu Hua gave the order in an orderly manner.

"Commissar, how about it, how about you command the troops to ambush in a while?" Liu Hua looked at the political commissar Guan Xiangying secretly.

"Yes, Legion Commander, I'll only ambush the troops in a moment," the commissar agreed without even thinking about it. "No, Legion Commander, I'm in command of the ambush battle, so what are you going to do!" The commissar finally reacted and hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, nothing." As he spoke, he raised a sniper rifle in his hand that would allow any modification.

"No, corps commander, you are the corps commander, you can't go to the front-line position, at this time the regulations of our army." The commissar immediately objected.

"Political commissar, just this time, I promise, tell you, I have taken a fancy to Zhang Zhenhan's mountain artillery battalion and Zhang Zhenhan, an artillery expert, I must take them all over, I promise that this time." Without waiting for the commissar to object, he set off with the guard battalion.

"I said political commissar, don't call it, hehe, you can't control it if you call it back, hehe, he often does this, he is used to it." Li Qing next to him hurriedly relieved his old partner.

At this time, Zhang Zhenhan's division had been assembled, a total of six regiments of troops, plus a mountain artillery battalion with a total strength of more than 11,000 people, and drove out of Taoyuan County, starting with his own second brigade, followed by his own third brigade, and the mountain artillery battalion was at the end. Zhang Zhenhan rode on a horse and followed the third brigade commander to chat and leave the county seat.

This information was immediately summarized to the political commissar, and the political commissar saw that Zhang Zhenhan actually hugged the troops together and only sent an avant-garde company, and immediately smiled, this is really heaven's help to the Red Army, and immediately ordered the second division, the third division, and the logistics department combat regiment to ambush in order, waiting for Zhang Zhenhan's arrival.

At this time, Liu Huazhen gathered the sniper company and the sniper platoon of the two divisions and began to arrange tasks.

"Two sniper platoons, you follow me, our task is the enemy's mountain artillery battalion, after the battle starts, we must kill all the enemy troops close to the cannon at the first time, and then the shells, you must guard it for me, the task of the sniper company is still the enemy's officers and heavy fireman, and one more thing you have to remember, there is an officer in the marching army column wearing a lieutenant general's uniform that cannot be killed, he must be captured, is it clear?" Liu Hua ordered.

"Hear me."

"Okay, go and set up your position right away." With Liu Hua's order, all the personnel began to run towards their positions.
