After a burst of sound like fried beans, the officers and soldiers of the national army who were lucky enough not to be killed by the grenade were immediately knocked to the ground by the torrential rain of submachine gun bullets like cut straw, and the sharp soldiers of the special service regiment rushed to the enemy positions that had been repeatedly attacked before, and more than 700 submachine guns knocked down the national officers and soldiers in their field of vision in pieces like cutting wheat, and Hu Lian, who came to the front of the position to inspire morale, was unfortunately knocked to the ground by two bullets, and as for Cao Jinlun, the deputy of the regiment, although he was indeed brave, he was also taken care of by the Red Army's firepower, and soon after the same wounded and captured

The regiment commander and the regimental deputy have lost their command ability, so that the national army, which could still resist stubbornly, suddenly lost its backbone, and at this time, the automatic weapons of the national army were also damaged by artillery fire (Hu Weidong alone knocked out more than ten machine guns), mechanical failures and some jishu problems and most of them could not be used normally, how could the national army, which was in internal and external difficulties, compete with the Red Army, which had strong firepower and high morale? In addition, this time Hu Weidong also transferred two other battalions of elite soldiers to follow up and support, so when the special service regiment seized the enemy's forward position, the Red Army not only had an advantage in firepower, but also in terms of strength

Although after three attacks, the independent division finally took the hill and annihilated a reinforced regiment of more than 5,000 people, but the independent division not only consumed a large number of shells for this, but also sacrificed 2,479 Red Army soldiers, including 371 old Red Army members and 1,126 party members, which are the backbone of the Red 15th Army! Moreover, at such a great price, the capture was very limited, and with the size of a regiment, no matter how strong it was, there would not be too much good equipment (compared to the current scale of the Red 15th Army), not to mention that most of them were still beaten to pieces by the artillery fire of the Red Army, no wonder the great men have always been the most opposed to fighting positional warfare

However, after learning that this enemy army was the 66th Regiment of the 11th Division of the 18th Army of the National Army, and the regiment commander was named Hu Lian and had been wounded and captured, Hu Weidong's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear. Considering that there is a peanut above him who lacks military talent and likes to command blindly, coupled with an intelligence system that has hardly leaked secrets, as well as a completely erosive political economy, and the so-called "friendly army" that is "as immobile as a mountain", Hu Lian's real strength is only much stronger than what he has shown in history

Although Hu Lian during the Liberation War could be called an out-and-out anti-Red element, now he is only a 28-year-old regiment leader, and he is also from a poor peasant, so it may not be impossible to pull him over. Besides, even if he can't pull it in, Hu Weidong doesn't want to watch this future hero die here early, and he won't have the opportunity to show his talents on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. It's just that Hu Lian's injuries are not light, and the level of those medical staff trained by Kang Ze in a short period of time is really not good, and Hu Weidong, who learned some traumatic first-aid methods when he was a special forces before, personally operated on him and took out the warhead, which saved Hu Lian's life

Although the absolute casualties of the Red 15th Army in the battle to eliminate the 66th Regiment were not much compared to its total strength, the dead were all veterans and backbones, which dealt a big blow to the sharp spirit of the Red 15th Army, and many people suggested that Hu Weidong accept it when he saw it, but Hu Weidong calmed down and pondered for a while, but after Hu Weidong calmed down and pondered for a while, he tried his best to override the public opinion, ordered the army to continue to pursue the main force of the 18th Army, and explained to the dissenting subordinates, "Although we have difficulties now, the enemy is even more difficult!" It is a fact that we have suffered heavy casualties in every regiment of the Eighteenth Army, but the main force of the Eighteenth Army that retreated did not know it, they would only see that their main force had not been able to hold out for even a day, and they would inevitably be even more afraid of us! If we withdraw at this time, then the enemy commander is likely to realize that we have suffered a big loss, and then they will inevitably follow, and it will become very troublesome, on the contrary, our army will continue to chase after us, and the enemy will inevitably think that our army is at ease, and become more and more frightened, and then we will retreat, it will be much safer, and we will even be able to pick up some foreign land on the road"...,

As Hu Weidong expected, the 18th Army of the National Army saw the Red 15th Army chasing after it again, and was afraid from top to bottom, even Huang Wei, who was trying his best to fight at the beginning, was dumb, and the 66th Regiment, the strengthened main regiment, could not stop the enemy, let alone other troops, and for a while he couldn't even find anyone willing to break off, Luo Zhuoying had to reluctantly accept the advice of Huo Yuzhang, the commander of the 14th Division, and discarded all the baggage and heavy weapons, and the whole army retreated lightly, which "got rid of" the pursuit of the Red 15th Army. Because they had just marched in a hurry, this great "turnaround" in the race against the enemy caused the officers and men of the 18th Army, whose military quality was second to none among the national army, to be greatly demoralized, and even many of them died of exhaustion, so that the 18th Army had to withdraw to the rear and repair for several months before regaining its combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the enemy really retreated without a fight, and really dropped a large amount of materials and even weapons and equipment, the Red 15th Army was all convinced by Hu Weidong, even Tan Zhenlin, who has never been easily convinced, never dared to put his old qualifications in front of Hu Weidong again

Although there were many unexpected gains, due to the interference of the 18th Army of the National Army, the opportunity to basically eliminate Liu Zhi's corps was only a general rout, with a total of more than 20,000 enemy soldiers killed and wounded and more than 40,000 captured, and the battle to eliminate Hu Lian's 66th Regiment was also counted, and the casualties of the Red 15th Army exceeded 15,000.

However, this battle set a precedent for the Red Army to defeat a large corps of more than 100,000 people of the Nationalist Army in a frontal battle, and caused a great psychological deterrent to the various Nationalist troops involved in the encirclement and suppression. For example, Chong'an County is Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Soviet Districts. ), with a total population of more than 3 million (Note 1).

Note 1: Historically, when Taizu interviewed Snow, he said that the population of the Central Soviet District was about 2 million, which should refer to the average, and the population at its peak was 4.35 million according to official statistics, and if the population of the Central Soviet District and counties at that time was simply added, it would be more than 6 million, which was probably because the plain part of the peripheral counties was actually outside the Soviet area
