Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (39)

The path is not wide, the four of them can't walk side by side, Luo Wei and Shi Zhong walked in front, Liu Renkai and Huang Yingyi walked behind, the steps of the four people were not fast, this was out to greet not to rush. The wind is still from the north, and it is much weaker than in winter, and although the spring thunder has sounded, the south wind has not yet arrived, and the trees are still dead branches, and the grass is still yellow.

"Hey, I said brother." Liu Renkai asked Huang Yingyi in a low voice: "This big man called me from Caizi Lake, and Boss Mo personally rushed over from Yuexi, wouldn't it be just for this small Gaohe port?" At noon, we stopped at the south gate of Gaohebu to look for food, it was not an ordinary shabby, not to mention rice, not even a piece of pot. I had to ask for some food from the cargo ship parked at the dock, and the boss of the cargo ship knew one of us, Squadron Leader Chen Dingyi, and got some dried fish and gruel, so that we didn't go hungry. Listening to the boss of the cargo ship, the defenders in Gaohebu have long been out of food, relying on people's donations to have a mouthful of food, to Anqing to transfer grain to two batches, the first batch was robbed, if the second batch is robbed again, Gaohebu Jiang Tuanzuo is afraid that he will also leave. In the current Gaohebu, in addition to the garrison regiment headquarters, there is also a company of defenders, and the troops are empty, and with the ability of the guard battalion, it is really effortless to take Gaohebu. So I don't understand, Boss Mo came over in person, if there is any other business trip. ”

Huang Yingyi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "So far, I haven't heard of any new actions, but what you said makes sense, the boss came from Yuexi, and it will definitely not be for such a trivial matter as Gaohebu." ”

Hearing the two of them talking, Luo Wei and Shi Chong also stopped, and when they turned around, Luo Wei asked, "Lao Liu, didn't the group say anything else in the telegram except for calling you to cross the Gongling?" ”

"Yes." Liu Renkai said: "Let us quickly assemble the Zongyang guerrilla brigade and enter a combat state. ”

Huang Yingyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it!" ”

Luo Wei also smiled and said: "There must be a new operation, I estimate, the operation will be on the side of Zongyang, I don't know what the specific action is, but the guard battalion and the guerrilla brigade are the main force is certain." ”

"The boss knows the ability of two battalion-level units to cooperate in combat." "If nothing else, it should be a big move," Ishige said. ”

Huang Yingyi clenched his fist with his right hand, slowly but forcefully smashed it on the palm of his left hand, and said with a smile: "Quite looking forward to it!" ”

Liu Renkai also understood what was going on, the Zongyang guerrilla brigade assembled, but it was not transferred, indicating that it was not for Gaohebu, so the next place of action did not need to be guessed to understand, in the area near Zongyang. The problem is that according to Liu Renkai's understanding, there is no target worth acting in the area near Zongyang, first of all, it cannot be the New Fourth Army, not long after the incident in southern Anhui, Guo Taiqing's troops left Zongyang, and there is also an advance regiment led by Lin Weixian in Tongdong. Just a few days after the establishment of the Caizihu Guerrilla Brigade, the 116th Brigade of the 119th Division and Liu Zuoxin's Jianguo Army swept up the Lin Weixian Advance Regiment in the Tongdong Hengbu and Chen Yaohu areas. In this battle, more than 40 military and political personnel, including Fang Ying, captain of the Second Brigade of the Advance Regiment, Lu Sheng, secretary of the Tonglu County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wu Zhongya, instructor of the Sixth Company of the Second Brigade, and the first platoon commander of the Sixth Company, died heroically. Subsequently, the Japanese army frantically swept the villages around Chen Yao Lake, and more than 700 ordinary people were killed. After this battle, the red armed forces in the Tongdong area were basically gone. Secondly, it will not be the Japanese, the Japanese only have one 119 brigade in the Anqing area, and in the Anqing area, the 119 brigade is an absolutely powerful existence, and let the two battalion-level units go to find trouble with it, it is really a birthday star hanging, and life is impatient. What's more, the Japanese did not attach importance to the Zongyang line, and even the Jianguo Army did not set up a stronghold in that area, and every day the Japanese army's Yangtze River patrol boats would sail through the Yangtze River channel southeast of Zongyang, and they would never stop. Who will be targeted for this operation? Liu Renkai couldn't figure it out.

Shi Zhong smiled and said, "Don't guess the big guy, the boss will be there in a while, and you will understand if you ask." ”

"That's it." Liu Renkai also smiled.

Luo Wei and Huang Yingyi glanced at each other, Luo Wei said: "Sometimes, it is also interesting to think about it, and it is a pleasure to be able to analyze the next course of action through some clues." ”

Huang Yingyi also said: "In the same way, if you can deduce the opponent's next action plan from some clues of the opponent, you can anticipate the enemy's opportunity and grasp the first move." In military schools, in fact, learning is to learn these things, some people learn well and become generals, and some people can't learn home and become martyrs. ”

Shi Zhong laughed and said: "I am the half bucket of water, I can't become a general and I don't want to become a martyr, so I have become what I am now." "Shi Zhong is very self-aware, he is a graduate of the training class of the Nanning Military Academy (the sixth branch of the Huangpu Military Academy), and he is also a military cadet, but he was born in the family of Orion, his education level is not high, and he basically can't understand the things of the military school. He can fight and dare to fight, but it would be too difficult for him to say any theory.

The four of them talked and laughed all the way, and walked for almost an hour, when they saw a group of people coming in front of them, led by a small boss with a small stature, a small top hat, tufted horse clips, a long gown of Yin Dan Shilinbu, and a pair of sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. The road was not wide, there were many people on the other side, and they were still carrying luggage and items, Luo Wei and the other four people hurriedly stood on the side of the road and let the people pass first. I saw the person who came to stand still in front of Luo Wei, stretched out his hand and took off his sunglasses, and laughed.

"Tuanza!" Luo Wei exclaimed.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I would just change my clothes and blind you all." Mo Di smiled.

Luo Wei said with a smile: "It's not that I was blinded, I didn't expect it." ”

"That's it!" Shi Zhong also said: "I've been with you for a few years, and I saw you wearing a military uniform, so I didn't think about how you looked in civilian clothes." ”

"How? I'm dressed up like this, right? "Mo Enemy spun in circles.

"It's a bit of a turbid son." Huang Yingyi said with three points of praise and seven points of applause.

"What is the son of the turbid world, he is the target of our fight against local tyrants." Liu Renkai said contemptuously: "Back then, we fought local tyrants, and we specialized in dressing like this. ”

The crowd laughed.

The people of the guard company behind Mo came over to greet Luo Wei one by one.

"Ten miles in the suburbs, this is the highest level of treatment. The four of you are really polite! After Mo Di finished speaking, he turned to Liu Renkai: "When did you arrive?" ”

Liu Renkai said with a wry smile: "I just walked to the entrance of Gongling Village, and I met the three of them, and their feet did not rest. ”

"You're on a boat, you don't have to walk, you don't need to rest." Huang Yingyi said.

"Navigable from Caizi Lake to Gaohebu?" Mo Di asked.

"It's very convenient." Liu Renkai said.

"That's easy!" Mo Di said: "Tomorrow we will take a boat to Zongyang." ”

"We?" Liu Renkai asked: "Is the entire guard battalion under Zongyang?" ”

Mo Di nodded and said, "Yes! Including two more platoons of the artillery battery. They don't travel with us, tomorrow the car will take them to Xin'andu, from there we will rent a boat along the Dasha River to join us at the Dawang Temple at Caizi Lake. ”

Liu Renkai was silent for a while, and said: "Tuanzao, we are three or four hundred people, Gaohebu is afraid that there are not so many boats to rent, after returning to Gongling in a while, please ask the confidential personnel of the guard battalion to send a telegram to our Zongyang guerrilla brigade headquarters, and ask them to send a few boats to wait at Sanyasi Lake tonight, and come to Gaohebu to pick us up early tomorrow morning." ”

"It's better that way." Mo Di said: "Time is very urgent, tomorrow night we must rush to Zongyang Sturgeon Mouth, if possible, go to Tiepanzhou and set up camp." ”

Hearing Mo Di's words, Liu Ren happily understood, eight or nine are not far from ten, Mo Di This is the idea of fighting the surface steamer of the Yangtze River.

Back at Gongling, it was already evening, and the guard battalion had already prepared dinner, waiting for the arrival of the invincible Luo Wei.

Mo Di didn't look at the Gaohebu battle plan made by Luo Wei, in a word, this kind of little trick can be played as much as you like, and it is not Mo Di's turn to worry about it. Liu Wukui, commander of the heavy firepower company, was in charge of the south gate, Zhang Shenghu, commander of the reconnaissance company, was in charge of the east gate, Zhao Shengan, commander of the assault company, was in charge of the west gate, and Zhang Chongshan, deputy commander of the assault company, was in charge of the north gate. When it was dark, they set out from Gongling, found a sheltered camp not far from their respective targets, and stationed them, Zhang Shenghu at the east gate found the best place, and found an ancestral hall in the Xu family's house, the local villagers put a thick layer of hay, and also burned a charcoal fire in the empty space, and the soldiers quickly slept comfortably. A temporary camp was set up not far behind the heavy firepower company outside the south gate, where Mo Di Luo Wei and the headquarters of the guard battalion were stationed, and the people here were Liu Renkai and his five companions, as well as Mo Di Luo Wei's guards. In addition to these people, there is also a group of people who are very redundant and cannot be left with them, that is, the prisoners of the Chaling ambush.

Gaohebu, tonight as if facing a great enemy, the four city gates are closed, the Songmingzi torch illuminates the city gate around the city gate clearly, the city gate building, burning a warm and coaxing fire, the soldiers of the founding army, around the fire to roast, always ready for something to happen outside. Above the city gate, a double post was laid behind the daughter wall, and the sentry changed every hour, this was the most difficult post, there was no fire to roast, there was no wall to block the wind, let the cold wind blow on the body, Rao was wrapped in a thick coat and shivered. The patrols on the city wall had a better life, walking and not looking so sad, but the city wall was in disrepair, and they held torches high and moved their steps carefully, for fear of falling into the air.

At four o'clock in the morning, in the darkness before dawn, Shi Zhong said from the intercom: "Let's do it!" The four responsible persons went to the city gates with their respective men, and half an hour later, the first gunshot rang out at the east city gate.

It was the sound of the Shui Lianzhu rifle, and in the quiet night, the sound of the Shui Lianzhu was particularly crisp.

With the gunshots, the sentry on the east gate tower was planted from the city wall.

Next, I heard the sound of a hand cannon at the north gate, and the sound of the hand cannon was very loud and muffled, and the entire Gaohe port was shocked.

The sound of crutches sounded at the west gate, not only one crutche, but more than five, and the gunfire was very dense, and in the gunfire, a patrol was beaten squarely, and the upper half of the body of ten people was beaten into a honeycomb.

All the people in Gaohebu City woke up, and all the people were in the same thought, and after waiting for half a night, it still started. The sound of gunfire made Jiang Qingguo relax his nerves that had been tense all night, and the three doors started to fight at the same time, which was obviously to let himself leave from the south gate, and chose to start fighting at four o'clock, although he wanted to beat himself to be tired, but he also wanted to let himself give up and hold on. The opponent has a hand cannon and a machine gun and a water lianzhu of Soviet Russia, and his strength is not small. Since the opponent wants to go on his own, let's go.

"How long does it take for Jiang Qinghui to appear on the South Gate pontoon?" Mo Di asked.

"Half an hour." Luo Wei said.

"It should be a little longer." Huang Yingyi sighed.

Mo Di nodded, Huang Yingyi meant that he understood, the longer the battle, the more people the opponent died, and the less pressure on the south gate, this pontoon bridge is related to the people's livelihood, and it is the main transportation road for the people of Gaohebu, so it is best not to break it.

The time was a little longer than Luo Wei expected, and I saw that under the guidance of the Songmingzi torch, the south gate by the river port rumbled open, and someone walked out.

"Is this leaving? Tuanza. The one who asked was the only remaining company commander of the Peaceful Founding Army.

"Have the brothers of the other three gates been notified?" Jiang Qingguo asked.

The company commander shook his head and said, "Tuanzao, if no one resists those three doors, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." ”

Jiang Qingguo glanced at this company commander, there was a little chill in his eyes, in order to walk by himself, no matter whether the brothers lived or died, this company commander was not a thing, but at this time, Jiang Qingguo did not say anything, and said: "Then please trouble you to open the road in front." ”

The pseudo-company commander nodded, beckoned, and led his men to the pontoon head first.

The puppet company commander walked up the last step and walked from the arch at the south end of the pontoon bridge to the riverbank, and as soon as Jiang Qingguo turned around on the pontoon bridge, he heard the roar of the Makqin machine gun, and after a roar, the puppet company commander and his vanguard troops who had gone ashore all fell to the ground. At the same time, another Makqin fired a small burst at the south gate on the other side of the Gao River, and several soldiers of the National Construction Army who had not yet stepped onto the pontoon bridge at the head of the pontoon bridge were knocked to the ground, and a hand cannon shell also fell in front of the south gate, and the light from the explosion made the Songmingzi torch also dim. Caught between the two ends, this time it is impossible to escape! Jiang Qingguo wanted to lament. Next, there was a phenomenon that made Jiang Qingguo jaw-dropping, the two ends of the pontoon bridge were very lively, but the people on the pontoon bridge were very safe, because not a single bullet fell on the pontoon.

The scene is quite eerie.
