On the 19th of the month, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps began the Long March from Liujiaping, Sangzhi County, Hunan Province, with the 49th Regiment as the vanguard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Along the way, the people sent each other off with tears and tears, and the scene was deeply moving. It was a pity that the assault company did not see such a scene, because they set out three hours early as the advance team.

When: November 21, dusk.

Location: A place called Niulanba on the line of Lishui and Yuanjiang rivers heavily blocked by the enemy.

The assault team that had just arrived here stood in the forest halfway up the mountainside, waiting for Hu Yingze, who had already gone to contact the local guerrillas, and one squad each who had searched up and downstream, while using binoculars to observe the enemy's defense of the ferry on the opposite side of the Niulanba. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it: the enemy on the opposite side has not only built three long trenches, the key is that there are seven or eight pillboxes, according to the standard configuration, a pillbox will have a machine gun to count, plus the 60 or 70 meters wide river, everyone can't help but gasp: the enemy's firepower is strong, and it can definitely block this river with firepower, and our side does not have heavy weapons such as artillery shells to suppress firepower, so don't think about attacking at all. What's more, the enemy has long collected the surrounding ships to the opposite shore.

Zhang Qingshan put down the binoculars, glanced at Peng Peng, and showed a wry smile to each other: This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, the enemy is very likely to learn of their arrival, but on the premise that he still dares to hold a feast, eat and drink, and even laugh and shout like a ghost crying wolf, which also looks down on the Red Army too much, and makes everyone's hearts burn with anger.

After a while, Peng Peng sighed and said faintly: "I didn't expect that our commando team would encounter such a difficult bone to gnaw on for the first time. Alas~!I hope they can have good news, otherwise, they really have to wait for the main artillery to come. ”

Zhang Qingshan sat on the ground, looking at the other side of the river for a long time without making a sound, but after a long time, he suddenly slammed the ground hard, and scolded unwillingly: "Our commando team is going to make a joke for the first time? Damn, Lao Tzu is really unwilling." ”

Peng Peng patted the trunk of the tree beside him and said, "It's really not possible, so we can only follow the reserved plan, and wait until the evening, and everyone will go to other places to cut trees and smuggle away." ”

Zhang Qingshan glanced at Peng Peng and nodded.

Although the soldiers sat on the ground and rested against the trunk of the tree, they were all elite soldiers, and most of them were veterans, and they knew what this meant by looking at the situation on the river and the other side.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Baoyu ran to report excitedly: "Company commander, the instructor is back." ”...... Before the expedition, Zhang Qingshan was officially appointed as the company commander of the assault company, and Hu Yingze was the instructor. Such an appointment was proposed by Hu Yingze himself to his superiors, and the superiors agreed after considering various factors.

Under the leadership of Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Qingshan and his comrades-in-arms hurried to greet him.

"Old Hu, how is it...... Are these comrades of the local revolutionary guerrillas?" As soon as he saw a man and a woman beside Hu Yingze, Zhang Qingshan looked at them excitedly, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking at hope.

Sure enough, Hu Yingze smiled and introduced: "Ha! Lao Zhang, you have a good brain, come, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Niu Yingwu, the leader of the guerrillas in Xianiulan Town, and this is Comrade Niu Xiaohua, director of the Women's Rescue Association. These two comrades are remarkable, not only because they were older in the party than us, but also because they participated in the revolution no younger than us...... Two comrades, this is my partner, Comrade Zhang Qingshan, commander of the assault company. Don't look at Comrade Zhang Qingshan's youth, but when our entire regiment is a well-known local hero, and when he was seriously wounded, he still chased the enemy with his head and ran around, and finally captured one of the enemy's chief of staff with one hand......"

Seeing Hu Yingze's happy smile and exaggerated boasting, Zhang Qingshan understood that he had found a way to solve the problem of crossing the river, otherwise, Lao Hu would never be so sincerely happy.

He hurriedly stepped forward, shook hands warmly, and after introducing himself, he introduced the main comrades of the company to them. One side said that he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the main force...... On the other hand, they thanked the local comrades for their strong support...... As a matter of fact, when these two local comrades suddenly saw this group of people wearing patched civilian clothes, they thought that they had been fooled and that they were bandits, but as soon as they walked in, they saw that each of them had two box guns on their waists, and they were resting and wiping their guns calmly. Of course, they didn't know that the Red Army had really put a lot of effort into equipping the assault company, not to mention anything else, just the squad leader and above had a watch (mostly pocket watches, but there were two watches, one of which was a certain commander who heard that the assault company needed to accurately determine the time when it was operating, but after the watch was not enough, he did not hesitate to take off the watch and send the guards to send it over. And this watch was given to him by his father when the chief left home to study, and it is of great significance to commemorate it. This shows how much attention is paid to assault companies. )

After an enthusiastic conversation, Hu Yingze interrupted: "Everyone is a revolutionary comrade, no matter how polite you are, you will see the outside." Come on, sit on the floor...... Comrade Yingwu and Comrade Xiaohua, please tell me more about the situation you told me earlier. ”

The place where they are located belongs to the town of Lower Niulan, and opposite is the town of Upper Niulan.

The town of Shangniulan was prosperous and prosperous because it controlled the docks. In order to prevent the nuisance of bandits, a few decades ago, a small but unusually strong city was built by the local wealthy families.

Originally, there were only 100 guns in the city, but more than a month ago, a regular regiment suddenly came. Not only did they forcibly occupy the city, but they also dug trenches, strengthened fortifications, and built pillboxes in the place of this bullpen dam. And sent a battalion of troops to garrison it.

"A battalion?" Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that the two nodded, but their complexions did not change at all, Zhang Qingshan looked at Hu Yingze with some doubts: Why aren't you worried at all?

"It's a battalion, we have secretly investigated and calculated, there are four or five hundred people. ”

"How is their discipline and training?"

Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but ignore these two points. According to the previous plan, after the assault company smuggled over, it would strive not to make gunshots and not let go of an enemy, so as to eliminate the enemy on the other side of the river, so as to lay a favorable foundation for the next sneak attack on Shangniulan Town by the main force. But if there was a battalion stationed on the other side of the river, it would be difficult: even if the enemy was disarmed without the slightest shot, it was inevitable that a few of the enemy would slip to the town of Shangniulan to report the news...... This is the first battle of the assault company, and naturally the more perfect the better.

Although the Kuomintang troops generally had poor discipline and lazy training, it was inevitable that there would be some bright spots and anomalies in so many troops. If the discipline of this battalion is good and the training is continuous, then there is nothing to say, in the face of such an enemy, no matter how well the assault company is trained, the number of people is less than three or four times that of the opponent. That also means that neither the first plan nor the reserved plan will work, and everyone can only change the battle plan, and when the main force is attacking and crossing the river, the assault company will suddenly kill the enemy from behind This good strategy is feasible.

When Niu Xiaohua heard this, she sneered and said, "Company Commander Zhang, what you said can be regarded as the point." ”

The words "how to ......" obviously refer to the occurrence of abnormal circumstances, which caused Niu Xiaohua to be confident that she could still laugh at this time. Zhang Qingshan hurriedly asked.

"They don't have any discipline at all...... That's not right, they have discipline, but the only discipline is to listen to their battalion commander. Their battalion commander is the emperor of this battalion, and they will do whatever they want, and they will never dare to resist. In the more than a month that they came, they were forced to close their doors and close down...... If it weren't for the fact that their regimental commander was afraid of the mayor of Shangniulan Town and the cousin of their teacher's wife, I am afraid that they would have engraved the words 'I am a bandit' on their heads. Niu Xiaohua sneered: "As for the training you mentioned, hmph! It's not that I look down on them, just their posture of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, not to mention the main force of our Red Army, that is, the members of our guerrillas. ”

Zhang Qingshan's tense application was greatly relaxed: a group of rabble, no matter how large the number was, it was just a group of lambs to the slaughter. Fighting a good battle is its strength, but as long as it encounters a little difficulty, it will be unstable, and if it encounters a surprise attack, such a team, the number of people is also a dish. What's more, a warlord team like this, who dominates internally, as long as a few people are sent to touch in and catch a few of the biggest, it is basically equivalent to controlling everyone. In other words, it is possible to achieve the original goal of not firing a single shot and not firing a single enemy.

At this moment, Niu Yingwu interjected and said the next paragraph, which made Zhang Qingshan and the others even happier.

The battalion was originally stationed in the town, the battalion commander Li Yuda is a hardcore drama fan, half a month ago in the town to participate in the mayor's 50th birthday, when playing mahjong, heard the local famous Lan Xiangyu on stage to sing, Li Yuda was immediately attracted by his singing, mahjong is not playing, straight to the stage.

After finishing the play, he became obsessed with Lan Xiangyu. It's just that the mayor's youngest son is also a fan of Lan Xiangyu, and he covets Lan Xiangyu, but Lan Xiangyu is not a good stubble, under her operation, so, the bloody drama of dogs fighting for bones opens.

From the beginning, the two of them 'Wendou', each of them tried to behave in front of Lan Xiangyu, and later sent people to fight, and in the end, Li Yuda became angry, resorted to the bandit methods of the soldiers, and sent a few subordinates to rob Lan Xiangyu. And the little son of the mayor's family is also a brave and ruthless person, with the secret support of the old man of the family, he turned the family and the spearmen of the town office into his bodyguards, and at the same time, complained in front of his father, his mother scolded his father with a handful of snot and tears, and in the end, his father also came to anger (in a big way, this is a competition between foreign forces and local snakes), and sent someone to write a letter to the boss of the regiment, that is, his cousin to complain...... But in these years, no law or folk customs can compare to the barrel of a gun, Li Yuda regarded robbing people as a war, and after making some arrangements with a serious attitude that he had never had, he finally sent troops to raid successfully in the middle of the night three days ago and brought back the Lanxiang jade gun. In the end, under the coordination of the head of the regiment, Li Yuda apologized to the mayor's youngest son and compensated 500 oceans of solace, and at the same time, the battalion was transferred to Niulanba to garrison...... As for Lan Xiangyu's feelings, no one thought about it.

When things got here, there was a strange turn of events, which made every Red Army soldier who heard about it smile......
