The deputy commander of the 3rd Division was happily riding on his horse, constantly urging the troops to speed up their march. Perhaps knowing that the communist army had the strength to annihilate one brigade of the enemy, this time he hugged his two brigades together, sent only one company of the avant-garde, and drove quickly to Changsha. Tens of miles passed quickly for a fast-marching troop.

Liu Hua, who was ambushed at the end, could already faintly see the shadow of the enemy through the telescope. Except for the advance guards of one company, all the troops of the enemy army lined up in a neat line, the heavy machine guns were all carried on their shoulders in groups of four, and the mortars were also disassembled and scattered on mules and horses. Although his own artillery shells are sufficient, after all, one shot is missing, and his logistics and transportation capacity is already very strong, Liu Hua can be said to be more and better, and those who come will not refuse.

"The division commander, the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion have moved in place, the enemy forces have all entered the ambush circle, and all the troops are ready." The correspondents promptly informed the division commander of the latest situation.

"Bump" With Liu Hua's first gunshot, the mortars and heavy machine guns that the reading division had been preparing for a long time began to speak one after another, spitting out deadly tongues of fire.

That's 40 mortars, and as 40 shells fell, many blood holes immediately appeared in the ranks of the dense march. In an instant, the Central Army was blinded, you know, only the communist army has always been bombed, when is it the turn of this batch of old soldiers to be bombed, the bombed [***] will be blinded immediately, but the Central Army is worthy of being well-trained, and in the face of bullets that continue to harvest their lives, they still quickly lay on the ground, although most of their commanders have been knocked to the ground by the first round of gunfire.

Although Liu Hua's first round of blows caused great casualties to the enemy, the central army that was defeated were all recruits, and those veterans had already fallen to the ground early because of their own experience.

Slowly, the enemy began to shoot at his own reading division under the organization of his company platoon commander, and the enemy's light machine gunners began to fire back intermittently, but not for long, the snipers began to aim at these heavy fighters, and as the machine gunners continued to die, no one dared to approach these weapons again.

But those enemy riflemen, since they can survive a few hits from their own artillery and heavy machine guns, must be very experienced veterans. Under their attack, his own troops began to suffer casualties, and Liu Hua began to get anxious.

"Chen Guangrong, what should you do kid, hurry, quickly order the artillery to bombard me in a densely populated place with enemy troops, we must not let them gather together, hurry." Liu Hua shouted eagerly.

Soon, the mortars began to carry out another round of intensive bombardment, and soon, the enemy troops lying on the ground jumped up because of the bombardment. But he was immediately knocked to the ground by a dense range of machine-gun fire. Liu Hua smiled, "That's what you want" Liu Hua smiled lightly.

Soon, after a few rounds of artillery fire, there were very few enemy troops lying on the ground to resist, but there was still sporadic resistance, but it did not cause much damage to their own troops.

"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet." Liu Hua's decisive order.

"Tick tock" and "Rush" immediately the inspiring sound of the charge horn and the slogan of the charge sounded. Liu Hua stood up, looked at the battlefield in front of him, and smiled.

"Xiao Wang, send a report to the political commissar, just say that we have annihilated two enemy brigades, and let him start acting according to the original plan." Liu Hua thought for a while, "Also, order Commander Gao and Commander Wang to let them quickly clean up the battlefield and report the Warring States and losses." ”

"Report to the division commander, the results of the battle have been counted." Several military supervisors hurriedly ran to Liu Hua's side.

"Well, read it."

"Division commander, in this battle, we completely annihilated two enemy brigades with a total of 8,000 people, captured less than 1,000 people, captured the equipment and ammunition of three artillery companies and the equipment of two heavy machine gun companies, and other weapons and ammunition are being counted."

After speaking, he looked at his division commander with a smile.

Liu Hua didn't smile, and said lightly, "Casualties?" "Now Liu Hua is most afraid of too many casualties in his troops, you must know that he is now in the middle of the battle, if there are too many wounded, it will definitely affect his future deployment.

After listening to the words of the division commander, the expressions of several people immediately changed: "Report to the regiment commander, we have a total of 612 comrades killed in battle, only 12 seriously injured, and there are very few minor injuries, less than 100 people."

After hearing this, Liu Hua couldn't believe it and asked, "Why is the proportion of deaths so large?" "You must know that in ordinary battles, there are more wounded than killed, but since there are so many dead this time, can you not surprise Liu Hua? |

"Commander, just take a look and see."

Liu Hua walked to the remains of the martyrs and saw that most of the soldiers who died were shot in the head, which was miserable, and when he saw this, Liu Hua figured it out: The Central Army is different, everyone's marksmanship is fed with bullets, so many people's marksmanship is very good. I didn't expect that. Liu Hua said with emotion.

Immediately bury the bodies of the soldiers, and also, draw personnel from their respective supplementary battalions to replenish all three battalions of their main force, so as not to affect the subsequent battles. The personnel of the recruit battalion are all replenished from the prisoners, and Chen Guangrong will pick some of the prisoners who can shoot artillery, organize the enemy's artillery battalion, and form an artillery battalion, or you will command. Zhu Ping did the same, and immediately formed two heavy machine gun companies. Half an hour later, the troops were assembled, and there was a new mission. “

"Yes," all the commanders said after a quiet salute, and then ran towards their troops.

"Operator, send a message to Regiment Commander Sun, and ask them to continue to feint against Changsha, without too many casualties, until I have an order to retreat."

Soon all the troops reached full strength,. Several regimental battalion commanders came to Liu Hua again.

"Commander Gao, how many captives are there now!"

"Division commander, there are still 300 people left, and they are being guarded by the guard battalion."

"Well, Commander Gao, I now order you to take the second regiment, reconnaissance battalion, and sniper company to escort the captured materials, and the remaining prisoners, as well as the newly formed artillery battalion and heavy machine gun battalion to the front ten kilometers along the river to meet with the political commissar, assist the political commissar to cross the river, and then hand over the materials to the political commissar, and then take the troops to raid Anhua, if you can take it, take it, if you can't surround him, I will lead the main force to come immediately. Remember, there can't be too many casualties. ”

"Yes, Master, I will definitely not embarrass the reader." Gao Yuan saluted and said sonorously.

"Well, go ahead!" Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, the rest of the people will follow me to attack Zhuzhou. Let's go. Liu Hua saw the remaining pairs of expectant eyes and said with a smile.

"Report to the division commander, it's not good, something happened." The staff officer on duty hurriedly ran into the room of the commander of the 3rd Division.

The commander of the 3rd Division, who was eating lunch, was thinking about his promotion, and when he saw the hurried staff officer disturbing him, he immediately shouted angrily: "What's the hurry, it's not that the sky is falling, look at what kind of urgency you have become, be careful that I kill you." ”

"Divisional commander, divisional commander, the sky is really falling." The staff officer saw that his division commander was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

"What the sky is falling, if you kid don't have anything important, you see that I won't kill you."

"Division commander, it's not good, a division of the communist army is heading towards Zhuzhou, and the scout said that there is still half an hour to go to the city." The staff officer finally said what he had to say.

"Ahem! Ahem" "What did you say?" The communist army is coming to Zhuzhou, and there is a division of men and horses? The division commander was taken aback by the staff officer's words, and almost vomited the food he had just eaten in his mouth.

"Damn, you didn't say it sooner!" After speaking, he hurriedly ran to the war room.

"Chief of Staff, immediately contact the deputy division commander and ask him to bring the troops back, quickly, quickly." Before he reached the war room, the division commander shouted loudly.

Seeing the chief of staff who didn't move, he became even more angry, "Chief of staff, why don't you send a report yet, delay the fighter, be careful I shoot you, go quickly!" ”

"Report to the division commander, the deputy division commander contacted me just now, but the contact was interrupted, and the contact between the first brigade and the second brigade was also interrupted."

"What?" The division commander sat on the stool.

Seeing his division commander sitting on the stool in a daze, the chief of staff immediately reminded: "Division commander, what should we do next?" The communist army was less than half an hour before the city was down. ”

"What else can I do? Ordered the troops to strengthen the city defenses, and withdraw all the troops outside the city to me to assist in the defense. The division commander said angrily.

"Division commander, what about Jiang Fang!"

"Defense, prevent you from being big, your life is gone, what else is there to prevent, go and pass the order, let them run back to help." The division commander said eagerly.

"Report commander-in-chief, our reinforcements have not yet arrived."

"What, how did he get reinforcements from the 3rd Division, send me a report quickly," He Jian listened to the constant sound of cannons on the city wall, and became more and more anxious, and kept walking around the war room.

"Commander-in-chief, something happened, something happened!" The staff officer hurried over.

"What's the matter! Finish it for me all at once. He Jian, who had heard the bad news for almost a day, couldn't help but get angry.

"Yes, yes, commander-in-chief, just now the commander of the 3rd Division called, and they also disconnected from the reinforcements, and the reinforcements are estimated to have been given by the communist army" The staff officer held back and did not say anything.

"Get out, get out of here! Could it be that I really want to build this time?"

"Commander-in-chief, we still have reinforcements, and there are two regiments of reinforcements in Anren County, if you hurry up, you should be able to come tomorrow morning." The chief of staff reminded in a whisper.

"Then what are you doing in a daze, go and let them come to support." He Jian roared.

Completely forgot that the communist army could completely annihilate its two brigades, let alone two regiments, but this just helped the plateau a lot.
