Chapter 34: Rushing to the Paradise (1)
"Mr. He, Mr. He, good news, good news"
"Political commissar, what good news! Look at you, my fish are all gone, and we don't have anything to eat tonight. Mr. He replied humorously.
"Mr. He, the central government called back, look at it, Liu Hua's kid is really amazing, no wonder there are so many people?" Political Commissar Ren excitedly handed the telegram to Mr. He, who was fishing.
Liu Hua was a squad leader of the Red Tenth Regiment before the Xiangjiang Campaign, and when the Hunan army was engaged, he annihilated a regiment of the enemy with a fire, and continued to create miracles in the battle, and finally appointed as the commander of the Tenth Regiment, he led the Tenth Regiment to annihilate two regiments of the enemy, and then annihilated one regiment again. In the process of rescuing the troops, with the strength of a regiment, a total of more than 3 regiments of the enemy were annihilated, because of some accidents, the 10th regiment and the rescued soldiers were left on the east bank, Liu Hua led the remnants of the army to break out of the encirclement, occupied Xing'an, Chaling and other places, respectively annihilated the enemy a total of about two divisions, and in the process of transferring to Anhua, he destroyed a division of the enemy again, and led the troops to rest in Anwar. ”
After reading the telegram, Mr. He was also stunned, what kind of concept is this, leading the remnants of the defeated army, constantly destroying the enemy and developing himself, 4 divisions, this kid can really do it, it seems that the arrival of the reading division will definitely solve his own dilemma. A smile finally appeared on Mr. He's face.
"Ren political commissar, the central government has given me no contact information! I can't wait to see this guy who has done miracles for the Red Army. Huh"
"Look at your urgency, hehe, the central government has given you the contact frequency, and you can contact the reading teacher now." Political Commissar Ren finally laughed when he saw that Mr. He, who had been worried for a long time, and laughed along.
"Let's go, let's see." He threw down his fishing rod and walked to the mailroom.
"Division Commander, Division Commander, Mr. He has sent a telegram."
"What Mr. He?" Looking at the political commissar with an excited face, Liu Hua asked suspiciously.
"What are you talking about, Commander He has called, quick, I'll take a look." Liu Hua, who reacted, snatched the telegram from the political commissar's hand.
"Political commissar, call back to Mr. He immediately, saying that our department is now resting in Anhua, and will set off tomorrow, go straight to Taoyuan, and go to Yujiaping through Taoyuan, hoping that Mr. He can send troops to respond, and we will meet in Yujiaping," Liu Hua hurriedly said after reading the telegram.
"Commander, look at your urgency, hehe, I'll send it."
"Communicator, call Director Li Xiaowu to me."
"Director Li, I want to ask, how is the material reserve of the army now?" Seeing Li Xiaowu running in a hurry, Liu Hua handed over a glass of water.
Li Xiaowu took the water and drank it in two sips.
"Report to the division commander, we now have sufficient material reserves, including food for about a month for the troops, and meat reserves are also sufficient, with nearly 20,000 catties in reserve. There are also a lot of clothing reserves, through the original reserves in Anhua in the past two days, it will reach 20,000 sets, and, division commander, now that the logistics department's mule and horse transportation has reached the limit, whether to continue to reserve and buy. ”
"That's it, it should be about the same, don't want anything else, the number of quilts will reach 20,000, and you go to the political commissar to approve a part of the silver dollars, buy a large number of mules and horses, if the number of mules and horses in the logistics department reaches 1,000, the transportation of grain will be divided into a part to the baggage companies of each regiment. Go for it! ”
"Yes, division commander," he said, and went to the political commissar.
"Inform the commanders of all units to come to the division headquarters for a meeting tonight. It's eight o'clock! Liu Hua said to the correspondent.
As for the purpose of the meeting, the battalion commanders of several regiments knew it in their hearts, and everyone sat there upright, waiting for the division commander to assign combat tasks. Liu Hua, who walked into the conference room, did not feel any strange when he saw everyone's appearance, and naturally walked to the front and picked up the combat mission that had been prepared for a long time.
"Now I command:
I will lead the 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment, the Artillery Battalion, the Heavy Machine Gun Battalion, the Guard Battalion, the Reconnaissance Battalion, and the Sniper Company as the vanguard, and we will set off tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock; The political commissar led the new regiment, the logistics office escorted the baggage to leave at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, Comrade Wang Nanhu led the three regiments to guard the whole regiment and set off at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The order has been announced, do you have any comments? Looking at the people who shook their heads, Liu Hua walked out of the conference room.
The next day, Liu Hua got up very early and began to prepare, and asked Liu Xiaogang to take the reconnaissance company to the Taoyuan direction on horseback to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and the remaining reconnaissance battalions and reconnaissance companies of each regiment spread one kilometer around the main force to reconnoiter and advance. After Liu Hua arranged everything, 8 o'clock had arrived, so he followed the troops, said goodbye to the political commissar and others, and left Anhua.
The road was very calm, maybe the main force of the Hunan army was drawn to the front line, after passing through several small counties, although there were militia defenses, when their main force arrived, they surrendered immediately, the reason why they wanted to take down these counties was very simple, Liu Hua didn't want the baggage behind to be affected, and all the bandit militias were wiped out by Liu Hua all the way.
Of course, he also encountered a county town with a garrison, but Liu Hua didn't pay attention to it, and then put a mortar, a heavy machine gun, and after a few shots, these garrisons either fled or surrendered, but when he met Liu Hua, he couldn't run away, and those who escaped from the county were either killed or captured.
Of course, Liu Hua is willing to go on like this, you must know that after this attack and advance, Liu Hua's reading master does not know how many good things have been seized, so that the 200 mules and horses that he just bought from the logistics department will be overloaded immediately. As for the prisoners, those militia groups that had not been trained and could only be frightened were released after receiving a certain amount of education, leaving only a few hundred Hunan soldiers.
And Wang Nanhu, as a defender, was even more depressed, thinking that when he retreated, the enemy would pounce and bite himself, and he was in a tense preparation for a day, but he didn't expect that after He Jian knew that the communist army withdrew from Xing'an, he just sent a brigade with a symbolic surname, and followed Wang Nanhu from a distance, no matter what method Wang Nanhu used, he just didn't take the bait, just followed closely like that.
However, this can't be blamed on the Hunan army, the main force of the Hunan army is now on the way back, and after Liu Hua continuously eliminated so many people, He Jian no longer dared to send troops, so he could only follow from a distance, which was equivalent to surveillance.
In the end, it was Chen Revolution who proposed that his three battalions be 500 meters away from his main force, leaving only one battalion for a cordon march, and all the others marching normally. Seeing that his troops could finally take a break, Wang Nanhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took turns with his political commissar Chen Revolution to lead the battalion behind the palace.
After a day's march, the troops could finally rest, and after Liu Hua arranged the vigilance of the troops, he also sat down, lay on the ground, and chewed dry food like the soldiers, at this time the two regiment commanders came over, sat next to Liu Hua, and also began to rest.
"Division commander, why should we go to Xiangxi to join the 26th Army Corps, why don't we return to the base area, you know, with the strength of our reading division, we will definitely be able to rebuild the base area!" Sun Xingbang looked at his division commander with a puzzled expression.
Liu Hua looked at the plateau next to him, only to see that he also nodded. At this time, Liu Hua suddenly thought that he persuaded the political commissar to promise to meet the division of the 26th Army Corps, and finally look for the main force of the Red Army, but he did not communicate with other comrades! Thinking of this, Liu Hua hurriedly asked.
"Are there many cadres and fighters below who have such thoughts?"
They nodded together.
"Okay," Liu Hua told them about his conversation with the political commissar that day.
"Commander, we know it's wrong." After listening to Liu Hua's words, the two lowered their heads together.
"Well, don't blame those who don't know, I didn't tell you, now you know, but the comrades below don't know yet, you all hurry up and implement this matter, don't let the soldiers' thoughts fluctuate, and let the soldiers hurry up and rest, have breakfast at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, start leaving at 7 o'clock, and hope to reach the vicinity of Taoyuan tomorrow night." Go for it! ”
"Yes, Commander." Looking at the backs of the two, Liu Hua suddenly thought that many people in the follow-up troops should have such thoughts. Thinking of this, Liu Hua immediately stood up and walked towards the radio.
