"Regiment commander, the enemy army has no search troops, a brigade runs in a two-way formation, and the advance guard is still two miles away from the ambush circle." The latest information came from the reconnaissance company,

"The enemy advance guard has entered the ambush circle, and the rear guard has not yet entered."

As the reconnaissance platoon spread the situation to Liu Hua's ears little by little, the enemy avant-garde had already entered Liu Hua's field of vision, Liu Hua picked up a rifle next to him and aimed at an officer on horseback.

"Regiment commander, the enemy forces have all entered the ambush circle."

As those words were finished, the gun that Liu Hua had been aiming at for a long time rang out, and through the binoculars, he saw that the officer had fallen with an expression of disbelief.

The sound of gunfire is an order, the heavy machine gun company immediately took away the cover in front of the machine robbery, 24 heavy machine guns immediately spewed out deadly bullets, harvesting the lives of the enemy everywhere, the soldiers of the second regiment who had been preparing for a long time, after hearing the gunfire of the division commander, all the firepower of the whole regiment opened fire together, and after the riflemen finished firing a bullet, they picked up the grenades prepared next to them and threw them down. The recruit battalion, after hearing the division commander's gunshot, also threw out a grenade that had been clenched for a long time because of nervousness.

The commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 24th Division, knowing that he was going to destroy the remnants of less than one regiment, hurriedly ordered the troops to assemble, leaving the baggage battalion to defend Anren, and led all the troops straight to Chaling.

I thought that if I eliminated this gang*, I would immediately be able to raise my rank by one level with this military merit. Just when he was happy, a gunshot suddenly broke his dream. His own guards threw themselves off their horses at once, and just as they were thrown off their horses, a bullet grazed their ears with a hint of burning heat and struck their own guards, and a pool of red and white brains sprayed on their faces. It was Luo Wenhua, who had just been appointed company commander, who fired the shot.

The brigade commander buried his head in the ground, just took out his pistol, and when he looked up, he saw more than 20 heavy machine guns lined up on the opposite hill and suddenly spewed flames at his team, and the brigade commander quickly buried his head under the corpse of the guard who had just died for himself. At this time, the gunfire became more intensive, and as a professional soldier who had risen step by step by relying on military merits, he estimated that the troops attacking him had at least two dozen heavy machine guns and forty or fifty light machine guns. Oh my god, that's more than my own firepower.

Division commander, division commander, didn't you say that the communist army has less than one regiment? How can there be such strong firepower, there is more than one division here, one of my brigades, it's over

As he thought, a whining sound reached his ears, which he knew was the sound of a swarm of grenades falling. It's over, it's over, and when I think of this, an explosion sounded next to me, and I immediately lost consciousness.

Seeing that after the enemy troops below opened fire with all their firepower, the soldiers on both sides fell one by one under the strafing of light and heavy machine guns, and many people were killed without knowing what was happening. The soldiers who reacted had just taken advantage of the terrain to lie on the ground and were about to shoot back, when patches of grenades fell.

Those machine gunners and artillerymen were even more miserable, under the special care of Luo Wenhua's sniper company, those machine gunners and gunners were more comfortable, all the soldiers who wanted to get close to the heavy machine guns and mortars were sniped accurately by the snipers without exception, looking at those colleagues who were shot in the head, those people no longer dared to approach those heavy weapons, they could only obediently lie on the ground, praying.

Perhaps Chen Guangrong was reluctant to carry those equipment, and he couldn't afford those technical arms, and all the heavy firepower seemed to bypass them, allowing their prayers to take effect.

Looking at the battlefield full of corpses after continuous strafing and several rounds of bombing, Liu Hua ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge. The soldiers shouted "Rush", but all they had to do was clean up the battlefield and collect the prisoners, because the remnants of the enemy army, who had been tested by the flames, could no longer dare to resist, and could only raise their guns with their trembling hands and surrender to the Red Army, which they had always looked down upon.

Liu Hua didn't charge, he knew that all that was left was to clean up the battlefield, and stood in place with a smile and watched the soldiers charge.

Looking at the division commander standing there, Gao Yuan, Li Qing looked at the battlefield in front of him in disbelief, an elite brigade of the enemy collapsed in just a few minutes, since the Long March, he had never seen such a victory. They shouted loudly and ran towards their division commander.

"Division commander, division commander, we are victorious, we are victorious"

Seeing a few men crying excitedly, Liu Hua was also moved, walked over, hugged them and said, yes! We won.

The results were quickly counted

In this battle, a brigade of the enemy was annihilated, not a single person escaped, and more than 500 people were captured, mainly artillery and heavy machine gunners.

12 mortars, 12 heavy machine guns, 72 light machine guns, more than 2,000 rifles, pistols, submachine guns, more than 15,000 grenades, and countless ammunition were seized. There is also a radio station.

Among them, the brigade commander was killed.

There were no casualties on our side, 43 wounded, not seriously wounded.

Hearing the statistics of the results of Wang Nanhu, chief of staff of the Second Regiment, everyone went crazy, screaming wildly, and some even shot at the sky to cheer up, Liu Hua did not stop it, because he knew that all these soldiers had seen since the Long March were their comrades-in-arms falling under the enemy's guns, and today they were finally victorious, and they could finally vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Besides, he now has enough ammunition, and there is no reason to stop the fighters.

Seeing that everyone's faces were full of excitement, but Liu Hua was calmly thinking about something, Chief of Staff Wang Nanhu said again

"Division commander, there is another situation, a company commander was interrogated just now, and he said that only the enemy's baggage battalion is defending Anren now, and now Anren still has a large amount of ammunition in storage, are we?"

Looking at the chief of staff Liu Hua who had a smiling face, he smiled, after being with him for a long time, each of his subordinates became a look of annihilation, and he took advantage of it cheaply.

Liu Hua nodded, "Chief of Staff Wang, you take the first and second battalions to enter Anren as the rout of the Central Army, annihilate the enemy's baggage battalion, and transport the captured weapons and ammunition back immediately, Anren can't stay too long, directly escort the captured materials to Chaling, and then we will go to Chaling and wait for your victorious return." ”

"Yes, division commander, the task will be completed."

"Order the troops, immediately clean up the battlefield and enter Chaling."

"Liu Xiaogang, immediately give an order to a regiment to launch a general attack on Chaling."

At this time, Lao Sun was holding a telescope and watching the enemy on the city wall running around under his own artillery fire, waiting for the order of the division commander.

"Commander Sun, the division commander ordered a general attack,"

After hearing the order, Lao Sun smiled, and finally came, it was Lao Tzu's turn to exert his power.

"Order the artillery to fire five rapid fires, drop two cannons and give it to me, the city gate will collapse, and then the whole regiment will attack and capture Chaling."

The attack of the "boom boom" group began, looking at the fierce artillery fire, the swarming Red Army, and the rain of bullets, the soldiers of the Central Army, who had already lost more than half of them, could no longer stand it, threw down the guns in their hands, and ran towards the city, no longer caring what their commanders shouted.

In this way, a regiment seized Chaling at the cost of minor casualties, seized countless ammunition, and looked at the commander of the regiment who stood in the city tower to greet him, and everyone who followed Liu Hua went crazy again.

Wang Nanhu easily entered Anren County with the defeat of the Central Army, and the two battalions of nearly 1,000 people quickly annihilated the baggage battalion with almost no combat effectiveness, and captured all the spare materials of a brigade of the enemy. With all the captured supplies, he escorted the captives to the tea tomb.

After nearly a day of fighting, all the cadres of the Reading Division sat in the conference room of the original command post of the enemy regiment and summed up the day's battles.

"Now the political commissar will announce our results and casualties." Liu Hua saw that everyone had arrived and said.

"Comrades, after a day of fighting, we completely annihilated a brigade of the enemy plus a regiment of the enemy, totaling 6,000 people, of whom more than 1,800 were captured.

Numerous weapons and ammunition were captured, including 16 mortars, including 12 in the Mafujiang ambush and 4 reserve guns in the enemy's baggage battalion

Three companies of heavy machine guns totaled 24 pieces

There are a total of 110 light machine guns, more than 3,000 rifles, pistols, and submachine guns

Grenades, shells, bullets are countless.

Our troops lost 55 people killed and more than 120 wounded, of which 12 were seriously wounded, and the others were all minor wounded, which did not affect the march. ”

After listening to the report of the political commissar, everyone below smiled, yes, such a big victory, of course, to be happy.

"Seeing that everyone was so happy just now, I will make everyone happy again, I discussed it with the political commissar, and decided to use these prisoners to expand the army by a regiment. That is, the third regiment of the Reading Division, Wang Nanhu is the head of the regiment, Chen Revolution is the political commissar, and it will be reported to the headquarters for the record in the evening. Among them, the regimental commander and the political commissar will no longer concurrently serve as the battalion commander in the future, and the deputy posts of each battalion will directly serve as the battalion commander.

The 3rd Regiment of the new Reading Division consisted of the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion, the 2nd Regiment and the 2nd Battalion, and the Recruit Battalion, with all the cadres of the Recruit Battalion retained and continued to serve as the backbone of the Recruit Battalion, and the 1st and 2nd Regiments were supplemented by prisoners of soldiers who were willing to join the Red Army. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hua smiled, although these Central Army weapons are good, but the soldiers are all trained after catching strong men, and they can't be compared with the Gui Army and the Hunan Army at all, after an afternoon of mobilization, there are already 1,000 people who are willing to join the Red Army, if it is after one night, the number will be more.

"One more thing, now each regiment has to form a heavy fire company, equipped with 4 mortars, 8 heavy machine guns, and the soldiers are provided by the heavy fire battalion, and the prisoners are provided with soldiers. The heavy fire battalion consisted of two companies of 8 mortars and two companies of 12 heavy machine guns. Luo Wenhua of the sniper company had to select sharpshooters from the whole regiment and organize the sniper company into three platoons. The baggage company was expanded into a baggage battalion, and the company-level cadres were directly promoted. The remaining fighters selected by the battalions among the captives were handed over to the recruit battalions. Execute it now. ”

"Yes" Seeing these people under him walking out of the conference room with smiles on their faces, Liu Hua smiled happily, he could finally do a big job.

"Division commander, we have won such a big battle, and we have also reorganized the troops, it's time to report the good news to the Central Committee." Political Commissar Li Qing said with a smile.

"Well, let's go, go now." Liu Hua stood up and walked towards the door.
