Chapter 60: Turning to Cili
"Commander, I'm here, how many good things we've captured this time!" Director Li Qing asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Here you go, see for yourself." As he spoke, Liu Hua handed over a list for the morning.
"Oh my God, so much." Li Qing let out an exclamation
"200,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, 3 million rounds of ammunition, 4,000 rounds of mortar shells, 1,000 rounds of mountain artillery shells, 2 mountain guns, 20 mortars, 20 heavy machine guns, 5,000 sets of clothing, 600,000 catties of grain, and 590,000 silver dollars."
"Commander, now we have sent it, I estimate that several baggage battalions in the logistics department will not be able to be transported at one time." Director Li Qing frowned.
"Don't worry, you can't transport it, let the soldiers transport it, didn't you all come empty-handed this time, the soldiers consumed a lot of ammunition in this battle, do you have to replenish it first? I counted 300,000 rounds of ammunition, 500 mortar shells, 200 mountain artillery shells, and 20,000 heavy machine gun rounds, and the rest will depend on your logistics department to transport the rest. ”
"Commander, if you add a few hundred mules and horses, our logistics department should be able to do it." Director Li thought for a while and said.
"Well, okay, we will start transporting materials tomorrow morning, and we must complete the transportation within one day tomorrow, and we must withdraw from Changde County the day after tomorrow, and send a report to the political commissar, asking him to come to the corps headquarters tomorrow for a meeting, and the second division will be commanded by the division commander and political commissar Chen." Liu Hua looked at Li Qing and said.
Liu Hua looked at the map for a while, "Communicator, let's be called by Battalion Commander Liu Xiaogang." “
"Commander of the corps, Liu Xiaogang of the reconnaissance battalion came to report."
"Xiao Gang, I know that your reconnaissance battalion is working very hard now, but now there is another task, only you should be able to complete it, how about it, do you have confidence!" Liu Hua looked at the tired Xiao Gang and asked.
"Report to the corps commander, the reconnaissance battalion resolutely completes the task."
"Okay, you will bring a radio station and hand it to your cavalry company in a while, let them reconnoiter and advance in the direction of Cili, find out the enemy situation in Cili and Cili, I will be useful, and I will set off tonight." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Gang.
"Resolutely complete the task."
Looking at Xiao Gang's back, Liu Hua walked into his bedroom.
Provisional Command of the 26th Army Corps. "Mr. He, Mr. He, the Seventh Army Corps has captured the county seat of Changde." Mr. He, who had been paying attention to the battle situation in Changde, finally let go of the frowning brows that had been frowning.
"Okay, now we don't have to worry about the east side of our base area, we can concentrate on dealing with the inevitable Li Zongren's two Gui army divisions, Xiao Ke, the battlefield has been chosen, Liu Hua has given us a good start, now it's our turn to play, how are the preparations?" Mr. He looked at Xiao Ke next to him.
"Mr. He, I guarantee that there is no problem, the two brigades of the Gui Army will definitely get into our ambush circle tonight, you just wait for the good news!" Xiao Ke said with a smile.
Perhaps it was a coincidence of time, on the night of Liu Hua's capture of Changde County, the ambush battle of the 26th Army Corps against the two brigades of the Gui Army also began, because the current 26th Army Corps was covered by sufficient ammunition and a certain amount of artillery fire, after two hours of fierce fighting, the two enemy brigades were finally annihilated. The remaining four brigades of the Gui Army withdrew from the base area without stopping after learning that their two brigades had been completely annihilated by He Long.
At the same time, Liu Hua also received a telegram from the 26th Army Corps, and now there are only two of the four enemy forces left, and the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's base area can be said to be about to end, but Liu Hua does not want to let the enemy leave the base area easily.
After receiving the telegram from Mr. He, Liu Hua got up and came to the conference room to begin to study the enemy's situation, four of the enemy, two of them retreated, and now Li Jue's troops and Chen Quzhen, the king of Xiangxi, were left with two dissatisfied divisions. He Jian was scared by himself, Li Jue's retreat was a matter of time, don't worry about it, there are only nearly 20,000 people left in Xiangxi King Chen Quzhen, if it is wiped out, then the entire Xiangxi will be the base of the entire Red Second Front Army.
Liu Hua immediately sent his analysis to Mr. He and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. "Xiao Ke, what do you think of Liu Hua's analysis!" After reading Liu Hua's analysis telegram, Mr. He looked at Commander Xiao Ke.
"Mr. He, I agree with Commander Liu's analysis, now that the Central Red Army has broken away from the enemy's encirclement and is looking for a new base area, we don't need to attract enemy troops, and now the enemy's main target must be us, so we must have enough space for counter-encirclement and suppression, this time we have repelled the enemy army, if the enemy army increases its strength next time, then we will be in difficulty." Shook read the telegram and thought for a while and said.
"I also agree with Commander Liu's analysis." Zhang Zhen next to him also spoke.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, then I also agree, Xiao Ke, now I order you to take the troops to monitor Li Jue's troops, I will take the Second Army Corps to the north lightly, go straight to Cili, join Liu Hua's division, and attack our Xiangxi King Chen Quzhen together, all the heavy firepower is left to you, I estimate that Liu Hua must have captured a lot of good things this time, no need to use it in vain." Mr. He finished the task with a smile.
The next day, Liu Hua received a call back from General He's consent, and immediately asked Sun Xingbang to take the first division as the vanguard of the whole army and began to march with Cili. And ordered the prisoners in the city and all the logistics personnel to start carrying the captured materials and ammunition, must be rushed before dark, and transported in the direction of Cili, in order to reduce the pressure of handling, Liu Hua took out 100,000 catties of grain, let the people of Changde rush to make dry food, and send it to the hands of each soldier, so that the logistics office to the evening, basically complete the transportation, and all the mule and horse transportation, speed up the march of the troops.
And at this moment, the political commissar came to Changde County with a guard platoon of soldiers.
"Commissar, hard work." Liu Hua hurriedly greeted him.
"Hehe, Legion Commander, you are still polite to me." After speaking, he patted Liu Hua's shoulder with a smile
"Political commissar, how is the situation of the second division! After all, there are two enemies with many divisions, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it! Liu Hua asked as soon as he approached the political commissar to the conference room.
"Commander, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the second division, and thank you for it, if you hadn't told me how to use grenades to arrange mines, we wouldn't have fought so smoothly,"
"That's good, political commissar, at this time, we have captured this time, you can take a look first, and I will tell you about the next battle plan later." After speaking, Liu Hua took out a list and handed it to Political Commissar Guan Xiangying.
Well, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek is going to scold his mother again this time, and he has lost so many things, Commander, tell me what you plan to do next!
