Chapter 18 Reoccupy Hung Yen

In the dark night, a strange team marched silently, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xing'an. There were no torches, no talking, just the panting of the warriors, the whirring of the horses

One mile in front of the team was still a platoon that Liu Hua was proud of and had been promoted to a reconnaissance company, which was the old reconnaissance platoon of the Red Tenth Regiment with rich combat experience.

Liu Xiaogang led dozens of soldiers under his command, constantly changing formations, alternately covering the advance, and soon, a faint outline of the county city wall appeared in their field of vision.

From time to time, there are patrolling soldiers walking on the city wall, and every few meters, a torch is erected, illuminating the city wall. This is the county seat of Xing'an, Liu Xiaogang couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that the enemy was so tightly defended.

"Platoon commander, you continue to investigate the enemy's situation, I will go to the regiment commander to report the situation, be careful, don't startle the snake." Liu Xiaogang reminded.

"Regiment commander, the reconnaissance platoon has arrived under the city of Xing'an, a platoon of the reconnaissance company is hidden under the city, the enemy defense of the county is very tight, and it seems that the defense of the county is a regiment."

"Political commissar, it seems that the enemy was scared by our last sneak attack, and the defensive force was actually increased to a regiment, and the Hunan army really looked up to us and sent us weapons again, hehe" After listening to Xiao Gang's report, the regiment commander said with a smile to Li Qing, the acting political commissar.

"Regiment commander, after all, the enemy is a whole regiment, and we can't underestimate the enemy!" Although Li Qing admired Liu Hua very much, after all, the enemy was a regiment, so he still cautiously reminded Liu Hua.

Liu Hua looked at the serious appearance of the political commissar, didn't smile anymore, and thought quietly.

"Commander, why don't we bypass Xing'an County?" Looking at the head of the regiment with a frown, Li Qing reminded.

"Bypass, why? That's the equipment of a regiment! Don't be in vain, besides, we didn't dig up any floating wealth last time we went to Xing'an, you must know that what our troops lack is funds, Xing'an is a rich county, and it has not been occupied by the Red Army, so it must be rich. ”

Looking at Liu Hua's greedy eyes, Li Qing almost laughed out loud, is this still what the head of the main regiment said? Simply

"Commander, then tell me how to fight! That's a regiment of the enemy! Li Qing sobered his mind and reminded.

"It's still a sneak attack, aren't there a lot of [***] soldiers among our prisoners and many new soldiers who have just joined the Red Army? We disguised ourselves as a battalion of the 112th Regiment of the Central Army to escort the prisoners of the communist army, you know, we know their passwords, we are the Central Army, we are afraid of them, after entering the city, the second battalion of Chen Revolution mainly went to arrest the county magistrate, the police chief and others, many people in their battalion are very familiar with Xing'an, and everyone else is surrounded by the enemy's regiment headquarters and troops with me, disarming as much as possible, and those who resist will all enforce battlefield discipline. ”

"The sneak attack troops will use the guard company and the reconnaissance company, all of which will be changed into the uniforms of the Central Army, and the prisoners will be carried out immediately with the wounded of our army, and they will assemble two miles outside the city half an hour later. The other troops entered the city as soon as they dealt with the troops on the city walls, and tried not to use guns when sneaking up. ”

Watching several battalion commanders walk away one by one, Liu Hua suddenly shouted, "Chen Revolution stays." ”

Seeing that Liu Hua had clearly assigned the task in such a short period of time, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "What a rare general!" ”

"Commissar! Commissar! What's wrong? Looking at the political commissar in a daze, Liu Hua patted Li Qing's shoulder and reminded.

"Uh, it's okay! It's okay! Commander, is there anything that is? Li Qing reacted embarrassedly.

"Commissar, there's really something you need to do!"

"Commander, just say something!" Li Qing looked at Liu Hua and said seriously.

"Political commissar, the second battalion will go to arrest the county magistrate and others in a while, I want you to follow the second battalion, and after catching those people, you must dig up floating wealth, spit out all the money they squeezed from the villagers, all the silver dollars and gold will be left behind, and they will be handed over to you for safekeeping, part of the grain will be brought, and the rest will be given to the people.

"Commander, promise to complete the mission?" Li Qing said excitedly, you know, how important funds are to the Red Army, since the regiment commander handed it over to himself, it means that the regiment commander did not treat himself as an acting political commissar, but really believed in himself, can he not be excited?

Looking at the guard company reconnaissance company that had changed its equipment in front of him, Liu Hua ordered loudly

"All of them, run and walk."

"Platoon commander, look, there's a bunch of people running over there," a soldier standing on the wall shouted to the platoon commander who was warming up in the gatehouse.

"It's a cold day, I don't let people sleep, what's the matter, if you lie about the military situation and see how Lao Tzu cleans you up" scolded while walking.

"Platoon commander, you see, those with torches are almost at the city gate." The soldier saw the platoon commander coming up and quickly pointed out.

"Wordy, Lao Tzu is not blind, there are so many torches, Lao Tzu can't see it." The platoon commander took the telescope on duty and watched. I saw a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Central Army running neatly towards this side.

The platoon commander was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Come out of the city and see, what's going on?" "Running as he talked. He doesn't want to provoke the Central Army, you know, the Central Army is the descendant of President Jiang, and we can't afford to provoke it.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Central Army stopped, the platoon commander hurriedly greeted him and said; "I don't know what is wrong with the chief, what are you doing here!"

The platoon commander looked at the battalion commander who led the team and said flatteringly.

"We are from the 112th Regiment of the Central Army, and we have been ordered by the regiment to escort some prisoners to Xing'an County to guard, and when the battle is over, we will be escorted back, our main force has crossed the river to pursue the communist army, and I hope that my brother will be accommodating." Liu Hua replied with a smile.

"Where! Where, it turned out to be the brothers of the 112th regiment, please, please come in. Looking at the communist prisoners they escorted, the platoon commander's eyes straightened. You know, now that you catch a prisoner of the Communist army, there are a lot of rewards, and you can only drool.

Just when the platoon commander was drooling and thinking, he didn't know that Liu Hua's reconnaissance platoon had quietly surrounded the Hunan troops on duty, just waiting for his regiment commander to give an order.

Liu Hua saw that his people were already in place, and immediately turned around and gave the platoon commander's gun that was stunned on the spot, the platoon commander felt that he was being attacked, and when he was about to scream, a pistol was put against his mouth, and he could only look at the battalion commander of the Central Army with frightened eyes, could it be that the Hunan Army and the Central Army were fighting again. The answer was quickly unraveled.

"We are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, you have been surrounded, surrender immediately." Liu Hua shouted loudly.

"Quick, put down your weapons quickly," the platoon commander who was held by Liu Hua with a gun said eagerly, afraid that his life would be lost because the communist commander was unhappy, so he hurriedly shouted at his subordinates.

Liu Hua looked at the platoon commander so familiar, took away his pistol, and said with a smile.

"Yes, do any of you want to make meritorious service to atone for your sins, help me finish the work, and give each of you ten oceans." The Hunan prisoners who listened to the words of the Red Army commander immediately showed their greedy eyes and immediately agreed.

Soon, all the troops were divided into a few prisoners, and under their leadership, the troops occupied all the points in the city with ease.

Lao Sun and the others, led by the captives, soon surrounded the barracks. Looking at the barracks of the Hunan army, Lao Sun sighed; "This Hunan army hasn't been hurt yet, and the barracks don't even have a sentry patrol."

This is not that the Hunan army is not cautious, after all, it is in the rear, and there are patrols on the city wall and the city wall, even if * comes to sneak attack, he has time to prepare, so he did not arrange sentries, and after dinner, he went back to the camp to rest.

Such a good opportunity, how could Lao Sun and the others give it up? Assign a task to a company immediately.

Soon, the barracks were easily occupied by Lao Sun and others, and there were many places where the enemy had not even woken up, all weapons were confiscated, and in the face of the muzzle of the black hole, they could only surrender. However, some of them also had fierce gun battles, and it turned out that many people in the middle of the sixth battalion were originally prisoners, and during the sneak attack, they made a noise, and when the enemy found out, they fought, and they did not destroy the enemy until the last battalion came to reinforce them.

In this battle, a regiment of the enemy was annihilated, more than 400 people were eliminated, more than 800 people were captured, and countless weapons and ammunition were captured. Looking at the piles of weapons and ammunition, Lao Sun Zhao Dahe was nothing, because they followed Liu Hua and saw a lot, but the newly appointed battalion commanders were excited, this was the first time they had seen a victory since the Long March, and the first time they had seen so many captures! Since then, they have admired Liu Hua even more, and eventually became Liu Hua's generals.

At this time, Liu Hua took the guard company reconnaissance company and went straight to the regiment headquarters under the leadership of the platoon commander of the Hunan army. At this time, Hu Jun, the commander of the Hunan Army, was sleeping with a local girl sent by the local county magistrate, when he was suddenly woken up by a burst of gunshots.

"Regiment commander, regiment commander, no, the Central Army has entered the city!" A staff officer hurriedly ran into Hu Jun's bedroom, forgetting to knock on the door.

"What, what did you say, what Central Army came in?" The regiment commander looked at the staff officer suspiciously.

"Regiment commander, it's not good, the Central Army is attacking us, the gunfire just now was in the direction of the barracks, just now I saw a battalion of the Central Army rushing towards the regiment headquarters." The staff officer has said it in detail.

"What, a battalion? Let the guards even defend, hurry! Just as Hu Jun was yelling, the sound of "bumping" the door reached his ears.

"Don't move, don't shoot, you're already surrounded." Hu Jun raised his head and saw black muzzles facing him, and it was the soldiers of the Central Army who were holding the guns.

"I don't know which part of your ministry it is? Why attack the Hunan army. Hu Jun also asked in a small voice to the soldier with the gun.

"We are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Shoot but don't kill. ”

Hearing this, Hu Jun fainted all of a sudden.
