Although Tan Shiming is doing political work, his actual military level is not low, although he has not seen the soldiers fighting on the front line, he is familiar with the establishment of the Red Army and various equipment, and he can still imagine the specific situation on the battlefield.

He can imagine and understand the feeling of aggrieved feelings, but in order to achieve the strategic goals of the Party Central Committee, there are times when he should endure it, and he can't let his temperament come.

After listening to Cheng Zhigeng, he continued: "Actually, it's no wonder that the comrades forgot the order, there are many changes on the battlefield, and no one knows what will happen." Although our goal is to contain the enemy's 35th Division, we are not lying down and being beaten, and our lives are threatened, and normal people will use all their strength to survive. I think that although the 35th Division was beaten a little badly, as long as he did not escape, it would be a victory for us. ”

Seeing that Tan Shiming explained a few words to the soldiers, Cheng Zhigeng just smiled, and then said: "Old Tan is right, as long as the 35th Division does not run, we will win." When the 100th and 5th divisions enter the encirclement tomorrow, the comrades will be able to fight a big battle. ”

After a few words of emotion, Cheng Zhigeng took out the map and discussed with political commissar Tan Shiming and chief of staff Zuo Quan to discuss tomorrow's encirclement plan. Although the battle plan has been deduced countless times a long time ago, it is still necessary to make final adjustments according to the actual situation on the battlefield before the final operation to prevent any mistakes.

The next morning, reinforcements from the 100th and 5th Divisions finally arrived, but most of them were too tired to attack immediately after a night's journey, so Ma Hongbin told them to rest for a morning and put the plan for the assault until noon.

At the same time, Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang also set off from Yanchi County with a large group of men and horses the next morning, and the reconnaissance troops sent the information back to the general headquarters after discovering it, and after the general headquarters received the information, Mr. Zhu Wei immediately issued an order to the third division on the right flank, and when Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang entered the scope of Dingbian County, they immediately took Yanchi County and cut off the road for Ma Jiajun's return.

After receiving Mr. Zhu's order, Liu Zhidan immediately sent the 107th Regiment to bypass the county seat of Yanchi County and attack the county seat of Yanchi County.

The newly formed Third Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was reorganized from the 15 th Army Corps, and due to the expansion of the suppression and rebellion, the losses of cadres at all levels were relatively large, and in the subsequent reorganization, cadres were transferred with the Central Red Army.

Among them, Yang Jingtang, the commander of the 107th Regiment, was the new regiment commander who was transferred from the first division of the original First Army Corps.

Unlike others, because Yang Jingtang was the future founding general, he also had to be included in the enlarged meeting after the Battle of Wuqi Town, and after understanding the cause and effect, Yang Jingtang's revolutionary enthusiasm was even higher and his revolutionary will was firmer.

From the beginning of the change of clothes, he devoted himself to study and training, and built the entire 107th Regiment into the Iron Corps of the Third Division.

After receiving Liu Zhidan's order, Yang Jingtang led his troops through the arid grasslands and deserts, rushed to Yanchi County at noon that day, and launched a full-scale attack after resting for less than 10 minutes.

When the 107th Regiment launched an attack, the Yanchi County People's League Tuanlian was celebrating the two gods of Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang, and after hearing the sound of gunfire, he fell from his chair in fright and fell to the ground, then got up and roared: "Where to shoot?" Where to shoot? ”

Not long after the roar, a henchman hurriedly ran over and reported: "Oh no, no, the group practice, there are red bandits outside the county." ”

"Red bandits? Nonsense, the three Ma division commanders passed by me one after another, and they were all preparing to go to Wuqi County to encircle and suppress the red bandits. How could the red bandits bypass them to attack my little county seat of Yanchi, and there is still a Dingbian County between us. Hearing the report of his henchmen, the militia group subconsciously didn't believe that Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang had just left, and the Red Army was coming at this time, which was absolutely impossible.

Seeing that his own regimental training didn't believe it, the henchmen had to continue to cry and say with a sad face: "Tuan Lian, the villain doesn't dare to lie to you, this group of red bandits suddenly appeared from the north, all wearing colorful military uniforms, and after coming to the outside of the county, they started fighting without saying a word, and asked us to hurry out of the city and surrender." ”

Although the militia group training still didn't believe it, after listening to the description of the henchmen, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, if it was really the Red Army, wouldn't his militia group training be over.

Worried about his own life, the militia regiment immediately took people to prepare to go out to see, on the way I always heard the sound of shells exploding, so that a cadre of people were frightened, this Red Army is too powerful, so many shells to hit the county, do not save a little.

The county seat of Yanchi is not big, and the militia regiment can see the city wall not far away when they have their own houses, and there are not many guards on the city wall at this time, most of them are scattered as birds and beasts, and they are running around.

As soon as the militia group wanted to stop the running group, the city gate in the distance suddenly exploded into a pile of debris at this time, and the momentum was very scary, making the crowd instinctively squat.

After the explosion, the militia group training looked up, only to see that after the smoke of gunpowder, a group of colorful soldiers rushed in behind the collapsed city gate, and the first few people who rushed in were holding submachine guns is a wild sweep, and the muzzle of the gun spewed out dense sparks, so that the militia group training couldn't help but curse a waste.

Secretly scolding and scolding, seeing that it was really the rumored Red Army wearing colorful military uniforms, the militia group was frightened at the moment of training. Although he couldn't figure out why the Red Army appeared in Yanchi County, it was important to flee for his life now, if he was caught by the Red Army, he, the landlord bully, would only be shot.

The militia wanted to run, but found that the three city gates were blocked by the Red Army, and after hiding in a private house for a long time, he was betrayed by a regiment and arrested him with the Red Army.

At the same time that the militia regiment was arrested, in the regimental headquarters of the 107th Regiment on the other side, Yang Jingtang was reporting the combat situation to the division commander Liu Zhidan.

After hearing that Yang Jingtang had completed the blockade of his pocket, Liu Zhidan then forwarded the information to the general headquarters.

Seeing that the pocket array had finally taken shape, Mr. Zhu Wei of the General Headquarters was very happy, and immediately slammed his fist on the conference table, and then ordered the siege and annihilation battle to start immediately, and the Ma Jiajun must be annihilated on the spot, and no rat that slipped through the net was allowed to be spared.

When the Red Army's encirclement and annihilation campaign began, Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang, who were still leisurely on the road, did not notice it at all, and the two brothers were still arguing about what method to use to make fun of Ma Hongbin after meeting him.

When the troops marched to Dongjingkeng, the scouts scattered around finally discovered the Red Army troops that were gradually closing in, and hurriedly reported the situation to the two division commanders.

Hearing that the Red Army troops were found in the surroundings, Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang both looked at each other suspiciously, aren't the Red Army troops in Dingbian County besieged in Dingbian County, how can the reconnaissance cavalry find the Red Army troops outside.

With a question in his heart, Ma Buqing asked the scout who came back to report and said, "Can you see clearly, what appeared is really the Red Bandit Army?" ”

"Report to the division, although the red bandits' flower military uniforms have a good hiding effect, they can't completely hide their tracks, and many people in our reconnaissance company have found them. And looking at the appearance of the red bandits, it seems that they are not worried about being discovered by us. ”

After listening to the detective's explanation, Ma Buqing felt that there should be no fake, he governed the army strictly, and his subordinates would never dare to lie to him about the military situation.

After making sure that there were really Red Army troops around, Ma Buqing immediately asked: "How many troops are there in the Red Bandits, can you see clearly?" ”

"The exact number is not clear, there should be at least one company."

"A company? Red bandits, this is too small, our Ma family army, what can he do with this little force? Hearing that there was only one company, Ma Bufang next to him couldn't help laughing.

Ma Bufang had just finished laughing, and then a succession of scouts came back to report, all of which said that Red Army troops had been found nearby, probably a company with such a problem.

The reconnaissance cavalry reported continuously, Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang couldn't help but be cautious, the reconnaissance cavalry who rushed back were all people from different directions, and after thinking about it carefully, except for the east, it turned out to be a combined posture.

The Red Army wants to surround us?

Putting together the reconnaissance information, the two couldn't help but draw such a question, but after careful calculation, the total number of Red Army troops reported was only about ten companies, and it was simply impossible to use the strength of one regiment to encircle two divisions.

Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang didn't know where the Red Army troops that appeared around them came from, since the other party had already appeared, then don't give them a chance to go back, give the order to the troops at the moment, and the cavalry troops will attack from all sides, and they must defeat these arrogant Red Army.

After giving the order, the two brothers couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, and they didn't know who the commander of this Red Army unit was, and it was really ridiculous that he wanted to encircle them with only such a small number of troops.

After sending troops to pursue, the two ordered the troops to continue to advance, presumably at this time Ma Hongbin had successfully settled in Dingbian County after receiving their reinforcements.

Thinking of Ma Hongbin's situation, the two couldn't help but want to laugh, since the Ma Peiqing Regiment of the Fifth Division was completely annihilated in the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Ma Hongbin's temper has become much more irritable, and he shouts every day to seek revenge on the Red Army.

Originally, I thought that the 35th Division would be able to advance all the way with the anger of revenge, but I didn't expect that Ma Hongbin would be stumped by a small Dingbian county, and he was sluggish for two days, and finally had to borrow troops from the two of them.

Although they don't know what the situation is, the two can't help but guess that Ma Hongbin is old, and he no longer has the courage and shrewdness of the past, and he is anxious to turn around in place when he encounters a little setback.
