At this time, after a day of arduous resistance, the Red Eighth Company finally repelled the enemy's last attack in the evening. Slowly, the battlefield began to quiet after a day of hustle and bustle. The Red Eighth Company began to count the number of people and the wounded, and after a day of fighting, the Red Eighth Company lost more than 40 people, and now there are only 84 people left, almost all of whom are wounded. The regiment commander came to the position. Liu Hua hurriedly walked over and reported the casualty figures. When the regiment commander heard that Liu Hua had killed more than 40 people but exchanged for nearly 600 enemies, it was more than 1:10. Thinking of this, the regiment commander hurriedly ordered: "Now I order Liu Hua to officially become the commander of the Red Eighth Company." The Red Eighth Company was all withdrawn to the rear as a reserve for the whole regiment. "Yes, mission guaranteed!" Liu Hua replied loudly. And saluted a standard military salute. Looking at the back of the Red Eighth Company, the regiment commander Shen Shuqing left tears, after a day of fierce fighting, the Red Tenth Regiment had suffered more than half of the casualties, and only the Red Eighth Company won the victory under the leadership of Liu Hua. It can be said that only the Red Eighth Company has the most complete system, the strongest morale, and the strongest combat effectiveness. This may be the last hope of the Red Tenth Regiment. Shen Shuqing looked at the back of the Red Eighth Company and muttered to himself.

At this time, Liu Hua walked to the rear with his remaining 83 people. But I don't know what the head of the regiment thinks at this time. He only thought about getting his company in order as soon as possible, taking advantage of the rare period of time to organize troops and train those immature tactics.

At this time, Liu Hua suddenly saw a forest behind the position, sitting in the graduate students of the later generations, and he knew that just tonight, the Gui army did something that the Red Army thought was impossible, and broke through the position in one fell swoop. Liu Hua hurriedly led the company towards the woods.

"Company commander, what's wrong?" Because the casualties of the grassroots cadres of the Eighth Company were too large, Chen Revolution, who had been promoted to squad leader, hurriedly asked.

Liu Hua turned his head to look at the tired revolutionary and said: "Have you seen that wood, if the Gui army touches it from there at night, our position will be ......" Chen Revolution was very clever, and immediately understood the words of the company commander, and quickly returned to his squad to mobilize the soldiers to hold on a little longer.

Soon. When he arrived at the edge of the woods, Liu Hua found Lao Sun and asked: "Lao Sun, the enemy may come from here tonight, and now there is no reserve in the whole regiment, so I pulled the team here without the consent of the regiment commander, you help me think about it, but what should I do!" "Because Lao Sun was a middle-level general of our army before he was purged, he had rich combat experience, and Liu Hua had a history of later generations, so he often consulted Lao Sun in case of trouble. This also moved Lao Sun very much.

Lao Sun looked at the terrain and said, "Company commander, this forest is lush with grass and trees, if the enemy arrives, we will attack with fire and burn those people to death." Hearing this, Liu Hua couldn't help but be happy, because this was the same as his thoughts, and at the same time, he was also happy that he had such an excellent general.

After thinking about it, he began to assign tasks for the soldiers to collect the things that ignited the fire. Make some preparations.

After the preparations, one platoon was left on duty, and the others began to rest.

Soon at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Liu Hua, who was on duty, was suddenly alarmed by the sound of broken branches, and hurriedly asked the whole company to prepare for battle. The fighters cheered up and felt their combat position according to the pre-battle arrangement. When you see that the enemy has entered the fire attack area that you have demarcated. With a gunshot from Liu Hua, the soldiers threw the prepared tinder out together. At this time, because the grass on the ground was withered and yellow, in an instant, the enemy was surrounded by fire on three sides.

At this time, the only three machine guns in the company with all the bullets, and the 10 sharpshooters in the sniper squad had already detoured behind the enemy's back.

(After Liu Hua was officially appointed company commander, he reorganized the whole company.) Because the number of people in the whole company is too small, the squad platoon leader sacrifices too much. The whole company is divided into 3 platoons and two squads in each platoon, with 11 people in each squad, and there is a principal and deputy squad leader, 23 people in each platoon, and a platoon leader. The best four machine gunners of the company were formed into a fire team, a total of three light machine guns. All the sharpshooters in the company also gathered to form a sniper squad. There are a total of 84 people in the company, and he is the company commander. ）

Accompanied by an order from the commander of the enemy regiment: "We have been tricked, brothers, withdraw quickly!" "The light machine guns and all the sharpshooters had already opened fire, and the enemy commander was the first to be hit, and fell to the ground in terror and uneasiness.

Since the light machine gunner was ordered by the company commander not to save bullets, the best machine gunners in those three companies frantically pulled the trigger. Almost bullets bite the flesh, because they don't have to worry about their safety, there are 11 sharpshooters to protect them.

In this way, under the double blow of fire and light machine guns, this Gui regiment quickly disappeared. An hour passed, and the fire was finally extinguished. The fighters began to clean up the battlefield. At this time, the eyes of the warriors were greeted by a tragic scene, in the place where the fire had been burned, lying charred corpses, in various positions. All the guns and ammunition here were burned, which made the soldiers of the Red Ninth Company feel sorry for a while. When they came to the machine-gun position, the fighters were happy, because the place was not burned by fire. There were hundreds of corpses of the enemy, including the guard company of the enemy commander, you know, among the Kuomintang troops, all the commanders' guard units had the most advanced weapons. Soon, the results were counted. In this battle, one enemy regiment was annihilated, and only two of its sharpshooters were wounded by stray bullets. 253 rifles, 45 submachine guns, 15 light machine guns, several pistols, a batch of ammunition were seized, and everything else was burned.

Look at the results of such battles. Every fighter was excited. Liu Hua quickly and calmly ordered: "Now draw a machine gunner from each squad to form a firepower squad, with a total of 9 machine guns, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader are all equipped with submachine guns, pistols, and rifles." And with enough ammunition. 100 rounds of ammunition per fighter, 5 grenades, carry out the order. After saying that, the fighters began to sort out their equipment.

At this time, Qin Lianfang, the commander of the 24th Division of the Gui Army, stared blankly at the direction of the fire, and kept saying: "It's over, it's over, it's one of my regiments, it's just gone, none of them have run out, what kind of battle is this?"

When the regiment commander Shen Shuqing learned about this, he was secretly happy with his decision, Liu Hua not only sent a large amount of ammunition, but also sent machine guns that the Red Army was extremely lacking. The happiest thing is that with one company to completely annihilate the enemy's regiment, only two of them were slightly wounded, which is unique in the history of the Red Army, and Liu Hua, this kid, will definitely have a future in the future. The regiment commander thought secretly, and at this time, Liu Hua only saw the regiment commander's happiness, but he didn't know that his status in the regiment commander's heart was no longer just a company commander. This also laid the groundwork for the later appointment of the acting head of the mission.

When the news reached the corps headquarters of the division, everyone was excited, because a victory at this time was such a great encouragement to the Red Army, which had been losing. At this time, the name Liu Hua was also deeply imprinted in the heart of Commander Peng.

When the news of this victory reached the headquarters, Bogu, who had not smiled for a long time, also smiled, because he saw that the battle had been won because of his command layout, but in fact he did not know that the battle was not won according to his subordinates. He hurriedly said: "Immediately inform the whole army of this great victory." ”

When some soldiers walked by, they were still passing on the good news they had just received to each other:

"Ten regiments are really at stake, annihilate one regiment of the enemy, happy!"

"No, it should be a company to annihilate a regiment of the enemy, and that fire is very godly, and it took a whole night to extinguish."

"I heard that they have a capable person in ten regiments and eight companies, not only can pinch and calculate, but also can do the law, that fire is a divine fire, and it will burn wherever it wants, and it will not burn indiscriminately."

"I heard that Guanghuapu is full of charred corpses all over the mountains, in all shapes, very terrifying!"

"This time, when the Gui army heard about our Red Army, his legs were about to tremble!"

……

Yes, just when the regiments were in a hurry, the 10th Regiment gave an unexpected surprise this time, which was a very encouraging thing, and Li De, Bogu and others were even more elated, and had already ordered the whole army to be informed, and they did not expect the serious situation they would face, and they were still marching unhurriedly. Although the first and second columns of the Central Military Commission claimed to be lightly armed, they still carried heavy machine guns and cannons, as well as those important documents, and walked only a little faster than the baggage brigades.

What's the use of that? Zhu De sighed.
