Chapter XXVII: Anti-Encirclement and Suppression (4)

Zhou Hunyuan was the commander of the 1st Division, and since receiving the order from the war room, he did not leave the river for the time being, and returned to Bai Chongxi's telegram to encircle and suppress the remnants of the communist army on the east bank. I am very happy, you must know that after crossing the river, you will face the main force of the communist army, even if you win in the end, your 1st division will have to take off a layer of skin, and you may die, now you don't have to cross the river. It is easier to encircle and suppress the remnants of the bandits than to fight the regular army.

But thinking that a brigade of the 21st Division was completely annihilated by the communist army, the division commander was still very cautious, and divided the troops into three echelons, one was attacked, and both could be quickly reinforced, and asked the avant-garde brigade to widen the search area to prevent the communist army from sneaking attack.

Just as he was riding on his horse and enjoying the scenery along the way, he suddenly heard a violent gunfire from the direction of the rearguard brigade, and that kind of fire density, the sound of artillery was definitely not caused by his own brigade. His first reaction was that the communist army was going to attack his own rearguard brigade, so he immediately sent a report to the rearguard brigade to inquire about the situation. Just as he was waiting for the telegram from the Guards Brigade, the commander of his Guards Brigade also sent a telegram: "Our unit was blocked by the communist army, the artillery company was destroyed by enemy artillery fire, and I asked for artillery support" Looking at this telegram and listening to the gunfire behind him, the division commander really didn't know what to do, and thought quietly on his horse.

"Report to the division commander, the connection with the Guards Brigade is broken."

"What? The connection was interrupted, it was impossible, and the rear team of the troops was ordered to change to the front team to immediately reinforce the rear brigade, to be fast. "The commander of the 1st Division does not believe that the so-called * has such a great ability to completely annihilate one of his elite brigades in such a short period of time, you must know that you are the Central Army, and the equipment and ammunition are not comparable to the Communist Army, and he believes that the firepower of one of his brigades will only be stronger than that of a division of the Communist Army, and will not be weak.

Just as he was about to retreat, "Division, what about the artillery support of the avant-garde brigade?" The chief of staff next to him reminded.

Thinking of the telegram of the avant-garde brigade, the division commander suddenly smiled and said: "Chief of staff, I know, this must be a ploy of the communist army, you must know that the communist artillery is very lacking, since they destroyed the avant-garde artillery at the beginning, then they must want to hold back our army and prevent me from reinforcing the rearguard brigade, now I know, immediately order the avant-garde brigade to retreat, they have no artillery support now, withdraw first, and wait for us to rescue the rearguard brigade before marching." *, I have seen through your schemes, and I see how arrogant you are. ”

"The teacher is wise, the teacher is wise." The chief of staff next to him hurriedly said flatteringly.

At this time, Liu Hua was lying on the hillside two miles away from the ambush point just now, quietly waiting for the second echelon of the 1st Division.

"Division commander, the enemy still has 2 miles to enter the ambush circle."

"Division commander, the enemy still has a mile to enter the ambush circle."

"Division commander, the enemy avant-garde has entered the ambush circle."

As the 1st Division continued to walk into the ambush circle, the division commander suddenly felt that something was wrong, the gunfire in front had stopped for half an hour, if the radio station of the guard brigade was broken, he would definitely send a herald to report the situation, but he was about to walk six or seven miles, why hadn't he seen the herald yet, and suddenly saw a trace of reflection on the opposite hillside, and the division commander as a soldier knew that it was the sunlight reflected by the telescope.

"Not good! But before he finished his last sentence, a bullet turned into his head, and it was Luo Wenhua, the commander of the sniper company, who shot him, and it was Liu Hua, the commander of our reading division, who was holding the telescope, and he was guiding Luo Wenhua to the target, and suddenly found the commander of the 1st Division, how could Liu Hua let go of such a good opportunity? After receiving that all the enemy troops had entered the ambush circle, he immediately ordered Luo Wenhua to shoot and kill the commander of the 1st Division.

When Luo Wenhua's gun rang out, the remaining 60 or so people of the sniper company also fired at the target they had chosen. Before the official start of the fight, the 1st Division almost said that the commander above the battalion company level was killed by the sniper company, and then, mortars, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns rang out one after another, and without the command of the commander, the Central Army was like a flock of frightened lambs, scurrying around. Liu Hua saw that the enemy army had no resistance at all and didn't want to kill more, so he ordered the trumpeter to blow the charge horn in advance.

Watching the enemy troops below surrender on their knees in the face of the Red Army's bayonets, the commissar smiled. "It seems that this kid was really right when he formed a sniper company, one person and one gun almost wiped out a brigade of the enemy, it seems that he will have to learn more from his division commander in the future, and I don't know how his head grows." At this time, the voice of the political commissar at this time.

"I don't know where my grandson is, what's going on! It's a brigade, and I don't know if he can eat it. Liu Hua's heart was not too happy because of the victory in this battle, but frowned and looked in the direction of the group.

Seeing that the division commander was silent looking at the direction of the first regiment, the political commissar's relaxed heart suddenly tensed, and there was still a brigade of the enemy army, and he didn't know if the regiment could hold it.

"Division commander, political commissar, good news, good news, a regiment of the enemy's avant-garde brigade." The telegraph operator ran towards this direction with cheers.

Liu Hua finally smiled, smiled so brightly, rode his war horse and ran towards Chaling County, the rest of the matter was handled by the political commissar, and he could finally have a good rest. Seeing his division commander happily riding a war horse towards the county seat, he shook his head.

Liu Hua, who had rested for a long time, finally woke up because of the protest of his stomach, and saw that it was already late, "Xiao Wang, what time is it?" ”

"Divisional commander, it's almost eight o'clock."

"So soon, Xiao Liu, notify the commanders of all units to come to the division headquarters for a meeting, and also, give or get some food, I will starve to death."

"Good Rat, Commander, I'll be here soon."

In the conference room, I couldn't help but look at the commanders of the various units with smiles on their faces. Liu Hua also smiled.

"Company Commander Liu, let's talk about the situation of the other troops first!"

"Yes, division commander, according to reconnaissance, the enemy troops left Zhuzhou this morning, but the whole army retreated to Zhuzhou around the bright spot in the afternoon, and then it has not moved, the brigade of the 21st Division has not been dispatched since it arrived in Anren, but a lot of scouts were dispatched, and most of them were killed by the reconnaissance company, and they have been cowering in the county seat. There were no enemy troops in the direction of Jinggangshan. ”

"Well, it seems that we all know that their 1st division has been annihilated by us, hehe, political commissar, can you report the results of our battle all day today.!"

"Yes, division commander, our results this time can be said to be countless. Hehe, let's talk about the enemy annihilation first, the 1st division of the enemy army was completely annihilated, with a total of more than 1,280 people, of which more than 8,500 were killed, more than 300 people were seriously wounded, a total of 4,000 prisoners and lightly wounded, and all the cadres above the enemy corps level were killed.

"Comrades, don't worry, what else? The joy is still to come? Now let me talk about the capture, we have captured a total of 30 mortars, shells, not to mention, there are too many to count, the average of 250 shells per mortar shell, now we don't have to worry about no shells. ”

"We captured 36 heavy machine guns, more than 230 light machine guns, more than 8,000 rifles, submachine guns, and countless ammunition.

After listening to the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua was also stunned, with so many weapons and ammunition, it seems that the army will be short of soldiers in the future.

"Then are the casualties of our army large?"

"Division commander, the whole army lost a total of 654 people killed in this battle, 94 were seriously wounded, and more than 400 were lightly wounded.

"Political commissar, don't say it, I know all this, those martyrs who died in battle are all good and heroes, and we will definitely let the enemy taste blood and avenge our martyrs."

"Yes, we will definitely avenge our martyrs." The cadres below stood up and shouted in unison.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, let's have a good rest in the evening, and tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning we will continue the meeting to study our future path. Meeting. ”

Looking at the cadres who came out, "Political commissar, I don't know what is happening to the Central Committee now, by the way, political commissar, we should report to the Central Committee and make the Central Committee happy." ”

"yes, I forgot, I'm going to send the report." The commissar patted his thigh and said.

Liu Hua looked at the quiet conference room and thought quietly, he knew in future generations that today was the last day of the Zunyi Conference related to the future of China, and he didn't know if history had changed because of his arrival.

As Liu Hua thought, the Zunyi Conference at this time was carrying out the work of summing up, and there was basically no change, except that because of the appearance of Liu Hua, Comrade * more easily obtained the command of the Red Army.

"Good news, good news" A joyful voice came into the conference room, and all the participants looked at the door of the conference room.

"Comrade Chen Geng, what's wrong?" Vice Chairman Zhou stood up and said.

"Report to the chiefs, the reader has sent good news." Chen Geng said excitedly.

"Uh, show me?" Vice Chairman Zhou sent a telegram, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It seems that the reader has sent a congratulatory gift for the successful convening of our Zunyi Conference." “

"The Central Revolutionary Military Commission, our unit conducted three ambush battles against the enemy's 1st Division this morning, completely annihilating more than 12,800 enemy troops, capturing more than 4,000 people, seizing countless weapons and ammunition, and killing more than 500 people and wounding more than 300 people. In addition, our department decided to reorganize the army and recuperate in Chaling. Liu Hua, the teacher of the reading division, and Li Qing, the political commissar. ”

"Haha, Liu Hua's kid is really good, he is worthy of coming out of my third legion, I must have a good chat with him when I see him in the future." Captain Peng was the first to stand up

Soon, laughter continued to be heard from the dreary conference room.
