After the victory of the Battle of Zhongbao, the Provincial Party Committee and the Military Commission Branch of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou decided to carry out the siege of Longshan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
During the period of rest and recuperation of the main force, a small number of troops besieged Longshan County, which was held by the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 34th Division of the newly formed Hunan Army and the security regiment of the Xingzhou Division.
The basis for this decision was as follows: First, because of our great victory in the Battle of Zhongbao, there was no possibility for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive within half a month to 20 days; second, according to intelligence, the garrison and the inhabitants of the city did not have much food in stock, and at most it was enough to maintain supplies for 10 days to half a month; third, the garrison troops had very little ammunition reserves and the fortifications were not very strong; and fourth, after the capture of Longshan County, Laifeng County, across the river, was isolated and helpless, and could force back the enemy stationed in Laifeng. If we can go to Longshan and Laifeng, in terms of geography and other conditions, they are most suitable as the basic base areas of the Red Army's Soviet area...... This was the idea and deployment of the Red Army at the beginning, but later various conditions suddenly changed, and finally it became a siege and reinforcement campaign.
On June 18, 1935, He Long and Ren Bishi commanded the Red Sixth Army to enter the area around Shoushan Town, Longshan County (now the Min'an Sub-district Office of Longshan County), and the 16th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Red Second Army entered Longshan County, and the rest of the troops rested on the spot.
At the same time, the Red Sixth Army mobilized the masses in Shilangshan, Xinglong Street, Maoping, and Ciyantang in Longshan County to set off a revolutionary wave.
On June 25, the enemy's commander-in-chief, He Jiandian, ordered Tao Guang to lead the 62nd and 16th divisions from Yongshun to reinforce Longshan.
On July 2, the first division of the 62nd Division of the vanguard of the Taoguang Column arrived at Xiaojing Town, at the junction of Yongshun County and Longshan County.
On the same day, the 17th and 18th Divisions of the 6th Red Army Corps and the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment of the 4th Division of the 2nd Red Army Corps went to Xiaojing to block the enemy.
"Lao Peng, the regiment commander asked us to reconnoitre, but look at this situation, it's a mess, do you need reconnaissance?" Zhang Qingshan, who was dressed as an ordinary person, stood on the balcony on the second floor of an inn, looked down and said. This inn is carefully selected, because its terrain is already high, and it stands on the second floor, which can basically overlook the small Xiaojing Town.
Xiaojing Town was already not big, and more than 2,000 people from the Second Regiment of the enemy's 62nd Division poured in, and as far as the eye could see, the town was full of national soldiers. What's more, these soldiers are not as particular about the Red Army as the autumn without committing crimes, after they entered the town, they first occupied the town primary school, this primary school was formerly a private school, after the Republic of China expanded a little, how can so many people live, so the primary school was requisitioned as the headquarters of the enemy's vanguard.
Subsequently, the people were unlucky, the better ones, send some money, and invite them to go to the guest house, and those who have no money are really unlucky, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest, and the original owner goes to live in the cowshed or eaves, and it is also called contributing to the country and temporarily requisitioning. Those who dare to disagree will be punished with fists and kicks, or directly arrested in a prison cell and asked you to ransom people with money.
After the scourge of ordinary people, it is the turn of those big households. These people, ordinary soldiers will not take the initiative to provoke, but some grassroots officers dare to come to the door to extort money. In the end, it is the random scourge that is unscrupulous on the street like a ruffian, the overlord meal, beating people if they don't agree with each other is not a matter at all, and blackmailing in public, molesting women, etc., is their interest...... In a word, the whole town, from top to bottom, is all unlucky. The people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent events.
Harm is good!
In this way, the enemy 2nd Regiment will have no secrets to speak of. Zhang Qingshan, Peng Peng, and Zhou Baoyu were ordered to go to the town in advance to reconnoitre, and they basically figured it out in just half an hour: in fact, there was no need to spend any effort at all, and those soldiers who drank two hemp and two hemp did not choose what to say, and they knew everything with a little question. Or ask the people for advice, and you can also get a lot of useful information. Therefore, Zhang Qingshan joked to Peng Peng, saying that there was no need to reconnoiter at all, and anyone who could be sent to ask would know: The enemy simply regarded the entire town as a barracks, and divided their respective camps according to the people's residences and streets, plus all kinds of commotion, how could it not be a mess?
The only thing that is not clear is the command of the enemy regiment, because the security there is relatively strict, and ordinary people don't even want to go in.
"Alas~! The common people have suffered. ā
Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan's smiling face was also put away, his eyes gloomy looked at the soldiers and crying people swaying on the street, and said coldly: "Don't worry, this account will be settled with them soon." ā
"Knock~! knock!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Baoyu cleverly ran to open the door, and saw that it was team member Luo Wen and his younger brother Luo Wu.
After pouring two glasses of water for the other party, Zhang Qingshan got straight to the point: "The information has been sent back?"
Seeing Luo Wen nodding, Zhang Qingshan asked with some surprise, "So fast?"
"We ran into the team in the Breeze Cave ten miles away, where they are stationed now. ā
Zhang Qingshan grinned excitedly. Peng Peng on the side asked, "What instructions do your superiors have?"
"The regimental commander asked us to sneak into the enemy's headquarters to get a feel for the situation, especially if the general deployment of the enemy was needed. Of course, if it really doesn't work, forget it, because the time of the attack has been set at five o'clock in the afternoon. ā
Zhang Qingshan looked at the pocket watch that the company commander specially gave him when he saw it, and it was now 3:43 p.m. After a deep sigh, he nodded: "The enemy arrived two hours earlier than us, and he was busy scourging the people, and he also didn't have time to rest, so he should indeed be caught off guard while they were not on a firm foothold and had not yet discovered us." ā
In the art of war, it is important to pay attention to the speed of soldiers, but it also depends on the situation. The reason why they had to attack at five o'clock in the afternoon, rather than attacking immediately, was because the two Rowan brothers encountered the vanguard of the Red 49th Regiment that had just arrived at the Cool Wind Cave, and there was only one company of troops, which could not deal with the enemy's regiment at all. This was more than an hour to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.
Subsequently, everyone discussed how to infiltrate the enemy headquarters: the enemy is not a fool, no matter how much he hangs his son, the protection of the regimental headquarters will definitely not be small. If it takes a long time, it is possible to mix in, but if you want to mix in in this time, you have to find out the situation, which is really difficult, and it is no wonder that the head of the regiment said that it really can't be done.
But in Zhang Qingshan's view, this is a task, a military order, and a matter of the collective honor of the commando, how can he give up easily?
After discussing for a while, but did not come up with a good solution, Zhang Qingshan lit a cigarette with some annoyance, walked to the balcony, and looked at the enemy regiment headquarters in a daze.
"Aoyama, or else, forget it. Peng Peng came to Zhang Qingshan's side, looked at the enemy regiment headquarters in the distance, sighed, and said softly: "You can't be blamed for this, it's too tight for time to complete at all." Besides, with a rabble like them, as long as we launch an attack, we will definitely be able to take it in one go. It's too late for them to escape, so how can we have time to clean up, and when the time comes, we won't be able to get their information the same. ā
"I know. Zhang Qingshan nodded, but still looked at the enemy regiment headquarters, and said unwillingly: "But, Lao Peng, this is the first time that the regiment commander has given us an order to the commando, if we can't complete the task, we will lose not the face of the individual, but the face of the entire commando." ā
"But time is really too short, unless we force our way in......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a commotion downstairs, and the two naturally looked down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's good, the old man makes a living by collecting firewood, this firewood is to go back in exchange for some rations, I beg you, let me go." ā
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu came over to kill the red brain, and took a load of firewood from you to make a fire to cook, that is to look up to you. ā
Downstairs, six or seven soldiers surrounded an old man who was picking firewood, two of whom were scolding and snatching the old man's load of firewood, while the others were smiling and watching the play.
"Master Jun, there is really no food at home, this load of firewood...... Ouch~!"
Before the old man finished speaking, the flat burden on his shoulder was snatched by a soldier, and seeing that he was reluctant to dare to hold on to the flat burden, a big man on the side kicked the old man down with a kick, and scolded: "Old thing, the master can afford you with a load of firewood, where is there so much nonsense." ā
"Yes, if you dare to chirp again, Lao Tzu will collapse you first. ā
"Old man, you don't support the national army so much, what's the matter, are you in league with the red brain?"
"That's it, if you say one more word, Lao Tzu will send you to prison. ā
Seeing that these people were talking and talking, they casually put a big charge on themselves, and their eyes were not good, the old man was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak, just shook his hand vigorously.
When several soldiers of the national army saw the old man's frightened discoloration, they immediately laughed proudly and left with firewood. The old man and the people around him dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Zhang Qingshan looked at the old man, and then at the soldiers of the national army, thought about it, and focused his eyes on the load of firewood. suddenly patted his head, pulled Peng Peng into the house, and said what was in his heart...... Don't you love to rob? Okay! Lao Tzu sent it to the door for you to rob.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Qingshan carried a large bundle of firewood, lowered his head, and walked quickly past the enemy's regimental headquarters.
Sure enough, as in the case of the previous analysis, a soldier standing guard at the door immediately shouted: "Stop!"
Zhang Qingshan looked up at the other party in astonishment, his face changed, he lowered his head, and walked forward at a faster pace.
The soldier was obviously a little angry, ran over while shouting to stop, grabbed Zhang Qingshan, aimed the muzzle of the gun directly at Zhang Qingshan's waist, and said in a deep voice: "Are you deaf?" Lao Tzu told you to stop, you fucking saw it, and you dared to pretend not to hear it, why, look down on Lao Tzu, right?"
Zhang Qingshan hurriedly raised his hand in fright, but the flat burden on his shoulder slid down, he hurriedly grabbed the flat burden, put down the firewood, and explained in a hurry: "Master Jun, how dare I look down on you, I ...... I thought you were shouting someone else. ā
"Less. The soldier looked at Zhang Qingshan angrily: "To look down on Lao Tzu is to look down on the national army, and you have to be shot." ā
"Don't, don't, Master Jun, I know it's wrong, I'm really wrong......"
The soldier saw that Zhang Qingshan was like a quail, his legs and stomach were trembling with fright, and he gave himself a hand to do it, so he smiled a little, and then said with a somewhat smug and cunning smile: "However, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, and he is too lazy to waste a bullet on you." In this way, if your firewood is confiscated, it will be regarded as a punishment for you to look down on the national army. ā
Zhang Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: I'm afraid that you think that I can afford to look up to the national army and not be punished!
