Chapter 15: The Strongest Private in History
General Wang Yaowu wrote in his memoirs, "I have always thought that I was the best soldier in the third phase of Whampoa, and there was no one. I remember that at that time, the third phase of Huangpu also had the saying of Xiao Sanjie, including me, Mao Renfeng, and Kang Ze.
But I think Kang Ze is more like a politician, Mao Renfeng's kid is inspired to join the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the military subjects of the two of them are also rotten like.
So it also developed my arrogant character, but it was not without help, I remember one time when the seniors came back to visit the cemetery.
The first young man, who walked in the front, and those around him unconsciously took a step back, aroused my interest, because his epaulettes told me that he was a colonel. And the person next to him, the weakest is also a lieutenant colonel.
But what about me? I'm just a warrant officer, I don't even have the courage to go up and talk to them, Mao Renfeng told me next to me that he is Colonel Liu Yuan, the best man in Huangpu to go out, there is no one, it is said that the senior is forming an intelligence organization, and he will definitely apply to join when the time comes.
I didn't listen to what he said later, but I remembered the name, Liu Yuan.
Later, I learned about this man named Liu Yuan through various channels, until he became my idol, and my body was a lot less arrogant, because there were many people who were better than me.
Because when I just graduated, the senior was already a major general and deputy commander, and I could only be a company platoon commander, what a big gap, I was fortunate to see the rank of the guard chief next to the senior, and he was also a lieutenant colonel, and at that moment, I wrote in my graduation application that I wanted to join the third division.
Facts have proved that there are many people who have the same idea as me and me, especially the seniors in the second phase, they are the main force to join the third division, and the head of the first division, Xue Yue, is worn out, and the seniors in Ning Bo just don't agree, but the stupid boys in the fourth phase have gone a lot.
But it's very difficult to enter the third division, especially Senior Guan Linzheng, who has to compete with us to fight with bayonets, and it takes a few rounds to join, isn't it fatal?
In the end, the senior heard my name and specially approved me to join the Third Division, which also made me think that I was very good, and this was the first failure on the battlefield.
Simply, it didn't cause too many losses, but I also became a private, and there were many people who became privates with me, and even Qiu Qingquan in the second phase, the seniors were all majors at that time, and the changes were so fast, we didn't dare to say anything in the third division with so many talents.
To say that suddenly become a private, I am really difficult to accept, but the senior's call was deeply stimulated, the senior said, in my current state, the most I can become a division commander, if I lead an army alone, I am a waste, the whole army will let me lead me to the abyss, the senior was very tired that day, but I can still hear his disappointment in me from his tone, the senior told me, I hope I am not only brave, but also wise.
Later, I think you all know the way, I got an order from my senior to lead more than 2,000 people to explode Chen Jiamo's chrysanthemums.
However, the independent regiment of the Fourth Army turned out to be the same as ours, or our division commander guessed their thoughts, but no matter what, I don't feel very good about the independent regiment, they are here to rob us of military industry.
However, there is one thing that I am more assured of, that is, they have a large number of porters, and during the Northern Expedition, each unit needs a large number of porters, and to a unit like the Independent Regiment, the demand for porters is almost close to one to three.
This also led to their marching speed being very slow, in this vast mountain, seven or eight thousand people, and a large amount of baggage, they would definitely appear after the third division reached the rear of Chen Jiamo, so the chance of being robbed by them was not very large, but Wang Yaowu still let the troops march quickly.
It took nearly a day to reach the predetermined position, but unfortunately, Wang Yaowu actually met the independent regiment of the Fourth Army at the predetermined position.
The one who took the lead was Ye Ting, and there were some CP seniors, all standing next to Ye Ting, with guns in their hands, pointing at Wang Yaowu and their troops who suddenly appeared from a distance.
"You're also here to sneak up behind enemy lines?" Ye Ting said in surprise, he really didn't expect that Liu Yuan would see through his thoughts.
"Commander Ye Ting, our division commander said that they are all brothers, but it is not fair for us to carry them in front and you show your faces in the back, so I will be sent to help you.
Wang Yaowu said with a smile, although it didn't look very hard, and even a little soft, but Ye Ting felt very sarcastic and a little embarrassed when he heard it in his ears.
"Our independent regiment, the losses in the previous battle were a bit large, and the frontal conflict with the enemy, the losses were a bit large, so we could only sneak attack from behind, and now that you have appeared, I think if we cooperate, the chances of success will be higher." Although Wang Yaowu is only a private, he represents the third division at the moment, so Ye Ting will not despise him.
Hearing Ye Ting say this, Wang Yaowu also had to nod, Ye Ting deserves to be a ** lake, and there is absolutely nothing to say about his life, and he is sad that the division commander has such a high opinion of him.
"I don't know how to cooperate with Commander Ye, before leaving, the division commander explained that Commander Ye graduated from Baoding Military Academy and is a person who can recruit and fight, let me learn from you, so you can arrange it." The reason why Wang Yaowu said this is that Ye Ting took the initiative to talk about cooperation just now, and he was very polite, giving enough face to the third division, if Wang Yaowu was shaking his face, it would be difficult to say.
Ye Ting nodded, not pretentious, and said, "Look, this is our position, when the frontal troops launch a strong attack, we will launch a sneak attack from behind, and we are condescending, with the help of the terrain, we can crush them." So when the time comes, we'll just rush down the hill. If we concentrate all our strength on five thousand people, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Ye Ting gestured on the map.
Listening to Ye Ting's words, Wang Yaowu frowned, but he didn't say anything, but this moment was captured by Lin Biao, Lin Biao has been much more low-key since he was confined with Wang Yaowu last time, and he spoke more politely, "Senior, looking at your expression just now, it seems that you are dissatisfied with our regiment leader's arrangement, if you are not satisfied, say it, don't wait for the real war, the cooperation is not good." ”
Ye Ting is not pretentious, "Yaowu, just say what you have, I still trust the talents cultivated by Huangpu." ”
"That's the case, Commander Ye, you see, if we fight like this, the enemy's rout is inevitable, but Chen Jiamo is a person who can fight, and the combat effectiveness of the direct line is there, it is impossible to retreat, I am worried that they will break through, when the time comes, I think we must do something to block it, otherwise it will be difficult to let Chen Jiamo run out." Wang Yaowu said.
"However, there are only about 10,000 of us counting the porters, and the porters have no weapons, so they can't fight at all, besides, we can take the Tingsi Bridge." Dai Ying was a little unimpressed by Wang Yaowu's words as a private.
Wang Yaowu knew that he was just a private, and if he wanted to be seen, he had to come up with a way, "I remember that the senior once again said in his report that fighting a war is about the right time, place, and people.
In the breakout, Chen Jiamo's troops did not always occupy it. Moreover, although it is a vast mountain, it is not something he wants to go, so he goes. Wang Yaowu pointed to the mountains and forests and said.
Ye Ting's eyes lit up, and he had a feeling that the young man in front of him must have something to do. Lin Biao nodded and said, "Autumn is coming, the weather is dry, it is normal to have a forest fire, a fire is a natural barrier, and it is impossible to cross the sea of fire." ”
Wang Yaowu glanced at Lin Biao with admiration, this guy is really not bad.
Ye Ting was very surprised, how could these two guys be so ruthless like his seniors, and the latter said that Huangpu's style is ruthless? But for the sake of victory, Ye Ting still nodded and said, "Autumn is dry, fires are long, it's not that we set fires, it's a bit inhumane to set fires." ”
The next battle was exactly as everyone expected, Wang Yaowu broke through with more than 10,000 people, but in the face of the sea of fire, there was no way at all. Seeing the fire in the mountains and forests, Liu Yuan also understood what was going on, and suddenly had a feeling that he was winning.
But he forgot that on the water of this stretching river, there were boats, and they were densely packed boats, picking up the lost Wang Yaowu and his subordinates together, Liu Yuan tried to rush to the river several times, but unfortunately the soldiers on the opposite blocking position were very desperate, and they actually stopped Liu Yuan for more than three hours.
Looking at the orderly retreat of the direct army, Liu Yuan suddenly had a premonition that this trip to Jiangxi was probably not very simple.
