Talking about the tasks during this time, Camp Commander Han was full of bitterness, bit the pig's trotter in his hand fiercely, and said: "It's better to come out to do the task, take this opportunity to take the team out to rest and rest, and I hope that County Magistrate Shen can say a few more words on the regiment commander's side." ”

As soon as the county lord heard this, he immediately understood the plan of the Han battalion commander in front of him, encircling and suppressing the Red Army was a chore, it was a critical period of the Central Plains War, the national army could not spare its hands to deal with the Red Army in the mountains, the troops were not enough, and rashly entering the mountains to encircle and suppress would only pay huge casualties like the last time and failed to wipe out this Red Army, but the Red Army took advantage of the time when they entered the mountains, scattered in the mountains and ran out.

This time, they learned to be smart, and they only surrounded and did not fight, but the price was that every late at night, the Red Army in the mountains would come down the mountain to attack them, so that they could not be at peace, and they only hoped that the war in the Central Plains would end quickly, so that the main force could be transferred back from the Central Plains and the Red Army would be directly annihilated.

This Han battalion commander really didn't want to go back to encircle and suppress the Red Army again, so he thought about taking this opportunity to run out and stay for a while.

A smile appeared on the face of the county lord who knew in his heart: "Battalion Commander Han, this is all a trivial matter, when the time comes, this Red Army will be wiped out, you can stay in the county for a while longer, I will ask the housekeeper to tell Regiment Commander Sun, I am afraid that the Red Army that has not yet been wiped out will come back, and I need to take care of it by Battalion Commander Han." ”

Camp Commander Han had a smile on his face: "Then thank you County Magistrate Shen." ”

With a tacit smile on their faces, the two raised their glasses again.

Li Qingming stood beside Xia Yuan and said: "Company commander, one battalion of the White Army, and the Red Army strength in our base area already has 1,100 people, and they only have two battalions of troops, if they want to attack us, I'm afraid they can't." ”

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "Definitely not, even if they can, even if they really drive our Red Army away, but the idea of being the master of their own house has taken root in this land, they can only destroy our armament, but they can't destroy the idea that has taken root." ”

Although the expansion of the base areas to the outside world had ceased during this period, the aftermath of the Red Army's large-scale campaign in these villages had not yet subsided, and had begun to spread to the surrounding villages.

What they saw was that every family's rice jar had grain, and every household was allocated their own land, and there was no landlord and inferior gentry who exploited them again, but the peasant association managed the village, built water conservancy, irrigated both fertile land, and the quilt factory was set up in each village, and the peasant women had the opportunity to work, and the quilt factory in several villages was established, and a large number of beautiful and beautiful clothes were made. Some villagers who had money to spare at home bought a batch of pants from the quilt factory with the attitude of believing in the Red Army and choosing to give it a try, and then went to the county town to sell them, intending to make a difference, but they did not expect to sell them at a good price.

Those good-looking pants are not only popular in the countryside, but also in the county town.

It is precisely under this influence that those villages that have not been liberated have responded to the peasant associations one after another and actively participated in the peasant associations, and there are no restrictions on joining the peasant associations, as long as they are peasants, whether poor peasants or rich peasants, they can join the peasant associations, and the peasant associations will be further expanded.

Even the peasant associations of some villages, when they could not wait for the Red Army, sought the help of the peasant associations of other villages, and even entangled a peasant contingent of several thousand people to launch a liberation movement in various villages organized by the peasant associations, and they rushed into the landlords' houses with hoes and sickles, arrested the landlords who usually oppressed and exploited them, and brought the ruffians and hooligans under the control of the landlords.

The peasants themselves tried the landlords, according to the methods of the Red Army, according to the good or bad behavior of the landlords, and confiscated the land and returned the grain, and confiscated the family property and imprisoned them.

When he learned about this, even Xia Yuan was quite surprised, he did not expect that his drastic expansion of the land, the aftermath of the liberation of the village would be so terrifying, in the case of the Red Army has stopped developing, on the contrary, the peasant association has ushered in a new climax, with the passage of time, the development of the peasant association has expanded to an incredible extent.

The Red Army participated in the liberation of more than 30 villages, while the number of villages expanded by the peasant associations had reached more than 50, and it was still developing rapidly.

"What does this mean, it shows that our Red Army only plays a driving role, and when those villagers are faced with the oppression of the landlords, they only believe in the peasant associations composed of the peasants themselves, but they do not believe in our Red Army."

Xia Yuan said with a smile, and he didn't care about the upcoming encirclement and suppression, this was a doomed emancipation of the mind, even if their Red Army was gone, but the mind had taken root in this land, even if he didn't need to come forward again, I believe that with this vigorous movement storm, the peasant association would push the Zhougui region to a height that even he himself could not predict.

And this height will be the basis for completing the task.

For him, it was only a matter of time.

The ranks of the Red Army have reached 1,100 people, and as the peasant associations have been launched in various regions, more and more people have joined the peasant associations, and more and more people have joined the ranks of the Red Army.

It's just that I didn't expect that the people of the White Army would be too good at sending charcoal in the snow, and how long it had been before I heard the news that the White Army was coming to encircle and suppress them.

"The problem of the establishment cannot be solved yet, and if we expand the establishment of the Red Army in a timely manner, then the Red Army on the ground will not be a company, but a regiment, and the enemy of these two battalions will not dare to come."

Xia Yuan had a smile on his face, not taking this matter seriously at all, he said: "We must eat all this enemy, only by eating them, can the Red Army base areas usher in higher development, and our Red Army ranks can be replenished with guns and ammunition." ”

Li Qingming asked in surprise: "Company commander, are we going to eat this enemy?" ”

Xia Yuan stood up and said, "Eat, and eat them all!" Now we are still facing the problem of shortage of guns and ammunition, and the weapons and equipment captured on the Seven Stones Mountain some time ago are only equipped with half of the regiment, and half of the people do not have their own weapons and equipment, so they must be left behind. ”

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the hand-drawn map and said, "Go, immediately convene a cadre meeting to discuss this battle plan!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Qingming left quickly, and soon all the cadres within the Red Army gathered in the conference room, because the Red Army still adopted the company and platoon organization, and the new establishment had been set up, but the name had not changed, so there were personnel who said that they were platoon commanders, but in fact had a battalion-level establishment of 300 Red Army personnel.

"It is very likely that the enemy has already mastered the information of our army, but it is obvious that the information that the enemy has is not accurate, and they have dispatched two battalions of troops this time, about 700 people, and they have now gathered in the county town, maybe they will be dispatched today."

Xia Yuan had an inexplicable smile on his face and said: "The strength of the two battalions wants to eat our base area, except for the other party's incomplete information about us, I really can't think of anything else, so we can seize this information gap to catch the other party by surprise, and even completely eliminate the other party!" ”

Yang Chengli stood up and said, "Company commander, how can we fight!" ”

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "How to fight, I have already thought about it, bring the map." ”

Li Qingming spread out the map on the table, Xia Yuan stepped forward, and said: "From the county seat to Nianping Village about fifty or sixty miles, passing through the West Mountain, Sanpingdu, and Shibanqiao, our main force will be fortified on Shibanqiao, tie the troops into a pocket for me, and then ambush another army between Sanping and Shibanqiao, and when the enemy completely enters the encirclement, this army must firmly tie its pockets like a rope, and the enemy cannot be allowed to escape." ”

Li Qingming was worried in his heart and said: "Company commander, we don't have many guns and ammunition, half of the soldiers don't have guns and ammunition, and the enemy has two battalions of troops, will it be a little difficult to eat the enemy." ”

Xia Yuan comforted Li Qingming and said: "It is definitely difficult, but we have a strategy, we only need to use a little trick to disperse these two enemies, we concentrate our forces and defeat one of them, and the other is not to be afraid." ”

Li Qingming asked: "Company commander, do you have a plan?" ”

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "This is inevitable, the enemy sent two battalions to fight us, so why can't we fight them, you must know that it is now the Central Plains War, the internal strength of the county is empty, the enemy dispatched two battalions is already all the strength, how many defenders can there be in their county, our purpose is not to fight the enemy's county, at present, I don't look down on the county, our goal is to eat this enemy." ”

He added: "The enemy is not clear about the specific strength of our army, what is known at present is that it is very likely to be a company, two battalions to fight a company, that is not very easy, as long as we harass in the county, the enemy will basically understand our intentions, nothing more than that we are not their opponent and want to make the other party give up the attack base area by the decision to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and turn to defend the county seat, so they will not give up attacking the base area, but also send a team back to defend, how many teams can a company transfer to attack the county seat, a platoon? Transfer a platoon, how many troops are still in the base area. ”

He had an inexplicable smile on his face: "The extermination of the Red Army is a great achievement, promotion and wealth, how can the enemy let go of this opportunity, I deduce that these two enemies will inevitably separate!" ”

Li Qingming observed the map, pondered Xia Yuan's plan, thought for a while, and suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he was shocked by this wonderful plan.

Xia Yuan was fighting an information gap, the other side believed that there was only one company of the Red Army in the base area, so the team that sent troops out to attack the county town was bound to disperse the strength of the Red Army in the base area, and the enemy happened to be two battalions, so it was completely possible to do both, one battalion turned back to support the county seat, and the other battalion continued to advance towards the base area.

As everyone knows, the strength of a regiment has opened a huge pocket, just waiting for the enemy's battalion to take the bait.

He pointed to the map: "A long line!" ”

Yang Chenglin immediately got up: "Dao! ”

Xia Yuan said: "Take your platoon to ambush between Sanpingdu and Shiban Bridge, the enemy enters the pocket, just tie the pocket tightly for me, the enemy retreats, stop Lao Tzu." ”

Yang Chengli shouted: "Yes! Please rest assured, company commander, I will definitely tie my pockets tightly and never let go of any enemy! ”

"The detailed combat plan is as follows......"

Approaching the time of planting late rice, the base area of Nianping Village suffered the only crisis at present, but this time the crisis was not serious, and the development of the Red Army ranks was very rapid, which had already exceeded the enemy's expectations.

County Magistrate Shen and Battalion Commander Han led the two troops to go in the direction of Nianping Village early in the morning, they both wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, and the stone in their hearts fell early, but they didn't know that after they left the city, a group of villagers outside the city lined up into the city and there were two villagers staring at their backs until they disappeared, the two glanced at each other, turned their heads and walked away from the team.

The militiamen of various villages along the way quickly dispatched to observe the road that the county magistrate Shen and the battalion commander Han had to pass, and when they saw the other party's team coming, they turned their heads and burrowed into the dense forest, taking a shortcut to report the whereabouts of this team.

】

Since he was already the commander of the Red Army, he only needed to sit in the rear, wait and see what happened, and command the whole field.

The various teams have already set out, the first platoon has been turned into a battalion after the last meeting, and last night they have been deployed in the favorable terrain on both sides of the Sanpingdu and the slate bridge, the second and third battalions have opened a large opening in the depths of the slate bridge, the fourth battalion and the first company have gone to the county as a harassing force, and the second and third companies have been used as reserves.

Xia Yuan stood in front of the map, waiting quietly, the correspondent would report the enemy's location every ten minutes, due to their lack of effective means of communication, the only way was to use the militia regiments in each village to transmit the report, the message transmitted from this village to the next village, one by one, more often the message was transmitted every few minutes, and the enemy's movements were firmly in Xia Yuan's hands.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the news that the enemy had arrived at the Western Mountain reached Xia Yuan's ears, and he immediately gave an order: "Order the four battalions and one company, after arriving at the position, to rest for the time being, and immediately launch a sheep attack on the enemy's county town." ”

"Yes!"

The correspondent walked away quickly.

Plan, start to implement.
