On June 8, 1935, the Red Third Company escorted 30,000 catties of grain, and left Guitang Town in the reluctance of the people of Guitang Town, and came to the headquarters of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the 9th, the regimental headquarters of the 49th Regiment of the 17th Division of the Red Second Army held a celebration party for the Red Third Company. Company commander Zhang Guozhi was promoted to commander of one battalion, Li Guowei was commander of three companies of one battalion, and Zhang Qingshan was appointed commander of the commando team of three companies. Interestingly, Huang Debao originally wanted to transfer the commando to the battalion headquarters, but he was begged by Xiang Jiafu and Li Guowei for a long time before being left in the company, and the number of commandos has changed from ten to twenty, and Huang Debao said that when necessary, the commando must first obey the arrangement of the battalion headquarters, and they cannot be reluctant. By the way, it was precisely because Zhou Baoyu was clever and young that he was easy to make up and infiltrate behind enemy lines to reconnoiter without attracting too much attention from the enemy, so he was specially asked by Zhang Qingshan to be transferred to the commando team and become a communicator. Of course, from a personal point of view, you can also think of him as a way to protect the calf.

Xiang Jiafu served as the instructor of the third company: Originally, according to his rank, if he wanted to be promoted, he would either be the chief of staff or the deputy regiment commander, but he said that he finally had the opportunity to temper himself at the grassroots level, and resolutely asked to be a company instructor. As a result, there is a high allocation of cadres at the deputy regiment level as company instructors. For this reason, the regiment also specially publicized his spirit of training at the grass-roots level -- although he said that he 'obeyed the organizational arrangement,' as a soldier, he had the opportunity to lead the troops to fight in the main force on the front line, and everyone wanted to strive for it, especially for civilian soldiers, and this was a small goal for them.

The joy was always short-lived, and it ended peacefully, and then it was the great battle: in order to crush the heavy encirclement of the Kuomintang reactionaries, the legions decided to jump out of the encirclement and go to the periphery to strike hard at the enemy.

On the 11th, the main forces of the 2nd and 6th Red Army Corps jumped out of the enemy's shrinking defense line and arrived on the outskirts of Xuan'en City. After a short rest, at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 12th, he set off from Xuan'en City and the area south of it, and traveled 65 kilometers in 10 hours.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Da, chief of staff of the 2nd Red Army, led the 4th Division of the front-line troops to the vicinity of the cattle shed northeast of Zhongbao. At this time, most of the enemy's right road (the regiment of Huang Xing (Huang Botao) of the 48th Division, the 2nd Regiment of Jiang Zuojun's newly formed 3rd Brigade and the 5th Regiment of Security, marching towards Zhongbao from Lijiahe through Randahe and Sanyetai) had already entered Zhongbao, and the enemy's middle road (3 regiments of the 123rd Brigade of the 41st Division, marching from Lijiahe through Pass, Laochakou, and Xiangli Leek Garden) had entered the west side of Leek Garden. The enemy's left road (3 regiments of the 121st Brigade of the 41st Division and the 41st Division and 2 infantry companies led by Zhang Zhenhan) had just passed the Lao Ya Pass, and it was only a few miles away from Zhongbao.

The famous Battle of Fort Chung immediately began!

In order not to let the enemy get closer, our 4th Division immediately launched an attack on the enemy's right marching column, eliminated its rear guard, and by defeating the enemy's left guard battalion near the east of Zhongbao, Zhang Zhenhan's 41st Division and the 121st Brigade pressed in the recess of Goupi Ling, and occupied the favorable position of Gaoshengtang between Zhongbao and Goupi Ling with a part of its troops, built fortifications, made a detour to the enemy's flank at Goupi Ling, occupied the high ground on the east side of Lao Ya Pass, and cut off the enemy's left and center roads and reinforcements.

That night, the main force of the 17th Division of the Torrent Army arrived, and according to the orders of He Long and Ren Bishi, the 51st Regiment occupied the north mountain of Zhongbao, monitored the enemy of Zhongbao, and guarded in the direction of Xianfeng.

"Lao Li, what do you say our division commander is doing? Others are drinking and eating meat in front, but all the brothers of our 17th division are staring at the back, what is this called?" After Xiang Jiafu was assigned to the third company, he could still endure it when he was in Guitang Town, but when he arrived on the battlefield, it was like fighting chicken blood, and everyone knew his desire to fight. No, lying on the position with his comrades, listening to the gunshots coming from the front, he was so anxious that he couldn't help the inner torment, and he dared to arrange the division commander.

He is a deputy of the regiment, and his qualifications are the same as those of the division commander, and he talks about it in private, even if the division commander knows about it, he will only roll his eyelids. Li Guowei was also very depressed about this, but he didn't have the qualifications, so he had to give him an angry look: "Give him a cigarette." ”

Xiang Jiafu took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to him, and asked, "Are you here to talk about it." Otherwise, just listening to the excitement in front of us, we will have to suffocate myself to death while watching the play on our stomachs. ”

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Li Guowei took out a cigarette, lit it, took a breath, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, listening to the intensity of this gunshot, we must have meat to eat." ”

"Tell me. Xiang Jiafu, who was about to take a cigarette, heard this, took the cigarette, stopped lighting it, and said excitedly: "You know, I used to focus on propaganda, I didn't lead many soldiers to the front line, and I was not familiar with the doorway inside, so you pointed at me." ”

"Lao Xiang, according to the plan, the 4th Division has already made dumplings for the enemy in Goupiling, so it should be annihilated as soon as possible to lay the foundation for the next big encirclement. But you see, it's been more than half an hour, and the gunfire has not stopped, but has become more and more intense. This kind of accident can only be two possibilities: either they did not destroy the enemy, or it was difficult to eat the enemy for a while, or there was a major change in the deployment of the military headquarters. But in my personal experience, I'm afraid the former is the majority. If this is the case, then, in order to destroy the enemy in Goupiring as soon as possible, the military headquarters will inevitably put troops into it as soon as possible. If you think about it, on the periphery, it is the closest to Goupi Ridge in our 17th Division, and our 49th Regiment is exactly in the direction of Goupi Ling, if we want to send troops to reinforce it, we must have our 49th Regiment, and we can arrive in about half an hour. That's why I said that this battle is absolutely indispensable for us. ”

Xiang Jiafu lit a cigarette excitedly, and said with a smile: "It makes sense, Lao Li, I can't see it, you are really good at fighting, and you have really buried your talent before." ”

Xiang Jiafu was about to speak, but saw Xiang Jiafu looking behind him stunned, he also turned his head to look behind him, but saw the messenger from the battalion headquarters running, the two stood up with joy, and Xiang Jiafu asked loudly: "Xiao Wu, did you send us to reinforcements?"

The correspondent nodded and conveyed the order.

Li Guowei's analysis was correct, and there was an accident in Goupiling: According to pre-war intelligence, the two regiments of the 121st Brigade on the enemy's left flank were originally the front, Zhang Zhenhan led the 41st Division and two infantry companies in the middle, and the third regiment of the 121st Brigade was the tail wing. The plan of the 4th Division was to divide it into three routes, fight snakes and fight seven inches, and first eat the weakest center - the middle was the headquarters of the army on the left, and the strength was the weakest, so naturally it was necessary to kill him first.

But no one expected that Zhang Zhenhan felt that the strength around him was a little small on the way out, so he temporarily changed the deployment, merged the three into two, and directly transferred the third regiment to his side to protect him. No one would have thought of such a temporary change in treating marching operations as child's play, so the 4th Red Division continued to operate according to the information it had received in advance, and after dividing and encircling it, although it successfully forced the enemy headquarters to retreat into the recess of Goupi Ridge, it did not expect that the enemy headquarters would have an additional regiment. More critically, this third regiment had a heavy machine-gun company with strong firepower. For a while, it was normal for the Red 4th Division to have difficulty gnawing this hard bone.

After fighting for a while, the 4th Division keenly sensed that something was wrong, and only understood the reason after asking from the prisoners, but most of the troops in hand were deployed, and they could not be redeployed in a short time, so they had no choice but to report to the military headquarters and ask for support. Li Guowei's analysis was correct, the Red 49th Regiment went to support: interspersed from Zhongbao and Goupi Ling to the south, urgently supported the most tragic fighting of Goupi Lingshan, and worked with the Red 4th Division to annihilate Zhang Zhenhan's headquarters.

As the elite, the commandos are where they are brave at this time.

As soon as he received the order, Zhang Qingshan immediately set off with 19 team members, marching in a hurry, and after a journey of more than half an hour, it took them only 20 minutes to reach the periphery of Goupi Ling.

After passing through the two peripheral guard checkpoints, under the leadership of a soldier who was temporarily sent as a guide, he climbed the small hillside to the west of Goupi Ling, and the whole part was clear at a glance: surrounded by mountains on all sides, the concave terrain below the mountain was like a big gourd, large in the east and small in the west. The besieged enemy apparently did not lose their fighting spirit, they built two temporary defensive lines on three sides, relying on strong firepower, desperately blocking the attack of our troops, but in the south they were in an offensive situation. On the whole, our army was making a feint attack on both the east and west sides of the enemy, mainly attacking the enemy's defensive positions in the north, so on the whole, it felt that our side was driving the enemy southward, but in fact, it can be seen from the fact that the enemy used a few heavy machine guns specifically on the South Mountain, and the Red 4th Division did not suppress the enemy enough, and the enemy had no intention of collapsing.

Zhang Qingshan was not easy to ask, but he couldn't help the doubts and anger in his heart, and asked the temporary guide: "This comrade, ask someone you shouldn't ask, you don't seem to be doing your best, right?"

"Which eye of your eyes saw that we didn't do our best?" the soldier said angrily: "You don't want to think about it, our Red 4th Division has fought several battles in succession, not to mention the big losses, and there is little time to rest and recuperate, even if it has been replenished by some soldiers, they are all new recruits." In this way, the number of people is also relatively small among several divisions. ”

As he spoke, the soldier's eyes turned a little red, and his voice was a little sad and indignant: "This time, we not only want to annihilate the enemy's headquarters, but also divide a part to destroy the enemy's main force of the 121st Brigade with the Red 6th Division. ”

"If our whole division had not divided our troops, we would have destroyed the enemy here long ago. He turned his head to look at the battlefield, and said unconvinced: "What's more, the situation on the battlefield has changed dramatically temporarily, Zhang Zhenhan was so afraid of death that he temporarily turned the guard into a guard, and all of them were concentrated here." The few remaining people of our 4th Division can surround the enemy here and prevent them from breaking out, which is already very rare, and they definitely did their best. The comrades fought fiercely and sacrificed many good comrades, but you still say that about us......"

Zhang Qingshan didn't know that just as he was on the march, the situation on the battlefield had undergone a new change: he originally thought that Zhang Zhenhan's headquarters was desperately trying to break through to the south because our defense in the south was the weakest, but it was known from the enemy telegram that he had just deciphered that he was going to join his first regiment. Because at this moment, although the enemy's second regiment was blocked by our Red 6th Division on the periphery, the enemy's first regiment was making a detour to Nanshan south of the Goupi Mountains.

However, because the assault team was moving at full speed and running too fast, the communication corps could not catch up, and the news was not delivered, so he asked this question.

Seeing that the other party was talking and talking, they all began to wipe their tears, Zhang Qingshan looked at the battlefield situation, and felt a little self-blame in his heart for indiscriminately accusing him of not knowing the specific situation. Quickly apologized: "Comrade, I'm sorry, I don't understand the specific situation and talk too much, it's me who is wrong, I apologize to you." ”

"It's okay!" The soldier wanted to smile at Zhang Qingshan to show forgiveness to him, but it was ridiculous but ugly: "It's me who is wrong, you are here to support us, but I complained to you, and I was angry with you, and my attitude was very bad." I beg your pardon...... Let's hurry up, it's really tight over there. ”

Approaching Nanshan, at a glance, where is the tightness, it should be said that it is tragic to the point of precariousness......
