The battle ended without a doubt.

The results were also very gratifying, annihilating and capturing one battalion after another of the enemy, capturing more than 500 guns, nine light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, dozens of boxes of various bullets and grenades, and successfully capturing the enemy's commander, Battalion Commander Han, and his adjutants.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the battalion commander Han and the adjutant were escorted to a field fortification, Xia Yuan stood in front of the map, drinking hot tea and waiting for the arrival of these people, seeing the Han battalion commander and adjutant, Xia Yuan stood up with a smile.

Battalion Commander Han and the adjutant looked at the young man in front of him who was only seventeen or eighteen years old with a little shock.

Yang Chenglin said: "This is our regiment leader. ”

Camp Commander Han took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so young and promising, in Xia Han Shixian. ”

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Camp Chief Han said that he was laughing, sit down and talk for a while?" ”

Camp Commander Han nodded and sat on the stool, feeling like he was sitting upright.

Xia Yuan waved his hand and asked someone to pour him a cup of hot tea, which made Camp Commander Han a little flattered and muttered in his heart.

Xia Yuan said: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous." ”

Battalion Commander Han shook his head: "I have now become a prisoner, if the regiment commander wants to kill me, he can do so at any time, and he will definitely not use the method of poisoning the water, on the contrary, I believe that there is no problem with this glass of water." ”

He took a sip and said, "It's just a little hot." ”

"I didn't expect you to have a good sense of humor."

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Camp Commander Han, you must know what I asked you to sit down and chat with me like this. ”

Battalion Commander Han thought for a moment and said, "Please also ask the regiment commander to point it out." ”

Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll just say it." ”

He put the cup on the map and said: "Battalion Commander Han should have been transferred from West Hankou, he must know the Red Army in West Hankou very well, and I want to know about the Red Army in West Hankou." ”

Battalion Commander Han paused slightly, thought for a while, and said: "The regiment commander really asked the right person, that's right, Han was indeed transferred from West Hankou, if you want to know about the Red Army in West Hankou, Han can naturally tell you a thing or two, but Han also has a question, I hope the regiment commander can solve my doubts." ”

Xia Yuan asked, "What doubts?" ”

Battalion Commander Han said: "Naturally, it is about the county magistrate Shen, when we were about to arrive at the Western Mountain, suddenly the county town was attacked, and he took people back to support, I want to know if this county magistrate Shen has anything to do with the Red Army, after all, this is too coincidental." ”

Xia Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "This Shen county magistrate naturally has nothing to do with our Red Army, our intelligence in your team is wrong, we naturally want to use the intelligence difference between us to deal with you, in fact, we have a company of troops attacking the county seat, in order to allow you to separate, and then eat you separately." ”

Battalion Commander Han smiled bitterly: "So that's the case. ”

Xia Yuan said: "Can Battalion Commander Han talk about the Red Army team in West Hankou?" ”

Battalion Commander Han nodded, "I also hope that the regiment commander can treat those captured brothers well." ”

"It's nature."

Battalion Commander Han said: "The survivability of the Red Army in West Hankou is extremely tenacious, they are hidden in the mountains and forests, and we have no choice but to block the mountains and forests. ”

Xia Yuan asked suspiciously: "Why don't you go up the mountain to encircle and suppress it." ”

Battalion Commander Han said: "Regiment commander, don't you yourself know the ability of your Red Army to fight guerrillas in the mountains?" Our strength in West Hankou is only two regiments, one in the east and one in the west, and now we are in the Central Plains War, these two patterns do not dare to act rashly, we can only besiege them first, encircle them but not fight, and wait for the end of the Central Plains War in the future, and the main force will return to the DPRK, which is the best time to encircle and suppress the Red Army in West Hankou. ”

After a pause, he asked: "Is the regiment commander trying to rescue the Red Army in West Hankou?" ”

Xia Yuan didn't hide it, nodded slowly, his eyes fell into contemplation, and he thought about how to rescue this Red Army team.

I suddenly had a rough plan and plan in mind.

Battalion Commander Han said again: "Regiment commander, don't hide it, I still have more admiration for your Red Army, Han's family is also from a peasant background, and they are all struggling from fighting each other, the reason why the Kuomintang and the Communist Party started fighting is also because the positions of the two sides are different, if they can cooperate, who is willing to fight and kill." ”

After a pause, he said: "And for the policy of the Red Army, Han is very interested, but his family is on the side of the national army, he can't get out, and there is a group of brothers in his hands, if he really wants to follow the Red Army, these brothers will suffer, Han has to obey the orders of his superiors for the lives of these brothers, but the regiment commander can rest assured, I and my brothers have not done anything to the Red Army on the mountain, and have been wandering around the periphery of the mountain." ”

Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Camp Commander Han in front of him with interest, in the face of life and death and position, he still chose life and death, such a person may also understand.

Greedy for life and afraid of death, tending to be inflammatory.

Xia Yuan said: "Since Battalion Commander Han understands the Red Army, then he should know about the policies of the Red Army, our Red Army treats prisoners preferentially, if Battalion Commander Han can explain everything he knows, I am willing to give Battalion Commander Han a chance." ”

Hearing this, Battalion Commander Han showed a happy expression on his face, he had been mixed in the White Army for so long, mixed with a lot of family background, and he didn't have time to enjoy it, he didn't want to die yet, and when he heard Xia Yuan's words, he nodded again and again, shaking out what he knew.

Then he was locked up by Xia Yuan.

Yang Chenglin looked at the Han battalion commander who was taken away and asked, "Regiment leader, can you believe this guy's words?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "I can believe that although the situation of the Red Army in West Hankou is not good, it is not in danger of life, the White Army surrounds them but does not fight, and without supplies, it will not last long, we must rescue the Red Army in West Hankou as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Hu Xianfeng walked in: "Regiment commander, the casualties have been counted, the second battalion has sacrificed eleven people and injured sixty-eight people. The third battalion lost twenty-three people and fifty-nine wounded. ”

Xia Yuan stood up and said: "To pay such casualties, our harvest is also worth it, you go and tell the political commissar, take out some ocean and food, and compensate the families of those sacrificed soldiers, if it is an only child, then our Red Army is their child." ”

"Yes!"

Hu Xianfeng went to settle down after the war.

The deputy commander of the second battalion walked in and said, "Regiment commander, the harvest of this battle is not bad, we have captured more than 200 people, killed more than 200 enemies, and captured a lot of guns and ammunition, you see." ”

The deputy battalion commander handed Xia Yuan a list of captured materials, Xia Yuan looked at it and said, "These weapons and ammunition are given priority to the 123rd battalion, especially all kinds of heavy weapons. ”

Yang Chenglin said: "Regiment commander, let's go to the first battalion of this mission, our first battalion will definitely rescue the Red Army comrades in West Hankou!" ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "No, this time the rescue mission will be carried out by the 123rd Battalion, we will face the enemy of the two regiments in West Hankou, and we need to block the enemy in West Hankou in order to rescue our Red Army team in West Hankou." ”

Considering that the Red Army in West Hankou has been besieged for so long, Xia Yuan had to start thinking about how to rescue the Red Army in West Hankou after the battle, West Hankou has two regiments of the White Army, more than 2,000 troops, and they only have a thousand, two to one troops, plus the enemy's logistics materials are enough, and their weapons and ammunition are in short supply, it is not easy to eat this enemy.

While Xia Yuan was thinking, in the county seat, County Magistrate Shen sat on the stool in a cold sweat, with a hint of horror on his face: "It's over, the whole battalion was wiped out in Sanpingdu, this is over, we have a huge responsibility, the strength of the Red Army is far more than one company, and the strength of the Han battalion commander plus one company of mine can be encircled and annihilated in Sanpingdu, and the strength of this Red Army is at least more than one regiment." ”

Immediately, his expression became hideous again: "Go and call the person who came the day before yesterday!" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "County magistrate, that person has left the county seat yesterday and is nowhere to be found. ”

"What!"

County Magistrate Shen sat on the stool dejectedly and took a deep breath: "I didn't expect this Red Army to be so cunning, passing on false information, which made us misjudge the strength of the Red Army, resulting in the encirclement and annihilation of the Han battalion commander, we have a huge responsibility, we have a huge responsibility." ”

When County Magistrate Shen thought that he would face pressure from the White Army next, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

In this way, two days passed in a blur.

Late at night that night, two figures quietly touched into the mansion of County Magistrate Shen, and the sleepy County Magistrate Shen suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at him, he quickly opened his eyes, and saw a figure standing in front of his bed, with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

County Magistrate Shen suddenly felt his scalp tingle, "You, who are you!" ”

The figure said coldly: "Red Army! ”

County Magistrate Shen's eyes froze, his whole body stiffened, and his lips trembled a little: "Red, the Red Army, no, impossible, the Red Army is not in Nianping Village, it is impossible for them to come to the county seat!" ”

He was about to open his mouth and shout, and a cold object was pressed against the door of his head, "I advise County Magistrate Shen not to shout, the strength of my four battalions outside the county town is ready, once they hear any movement in the county town, they will attack the city at all costs, since County Magistrate Shen knows that Battalion Commander Han has been annihilated by us, the two companies left in the county town want to resist the attack of a regiment, County Magistrate Shen thinks it may be impossible?" ”

County Magistrate Shen broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

The little concubine lying next to her heard County Magistrate Shen talking in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a black figure standing next to their bed, and she was about to scream when she opened her mouth, but the person suddenly stretched out his palm, shot out like lightning, and slashed at the woman's neck, the woman rolled her eyes and lay down.

County Magistrate Shen was horrified: "What did you do to her?" ”

The man said: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Shen, she's just in a coma, and I came this time mainly to talk about cooperation with County Magistrate Shen." ”

County Magistrate Shen pretended to be calm and asked, "What cooperation?" ”

The man said: "Give me a batch of weapons and equipment, I will take people away, in the future, our well water will not interfere with the river water, you live in your county, we live in our ravines and ravines, no matter what happens outside, you don't have to ask, don't care, our Red Army only has contradictions with the White Army, if you insist on being implicated, then I'm sorry, I estimate that County Magistrate Shen will not survive tonight." ”

County Magistrate Shen looked a little frightened, "How many weapons and equipment?" ”

The man spoke: "A battalion, now!" ”

County Magistrate Shen also knew the current affairs, and hurriedly said: "There are too many weapons and equipment in one battalion. ”

The man said: "Not much, your ammunition depot in the county town is enough to equip a regiment, I only need one battalion, how can there be more." ”

County Magistrate Shen stared at the figure in front of him: "You, you know everything." ”

The man said: "Naturally, we must do our homework when we come to the county seat." ”

"Homework?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to take out a battalion of weapons and equipment and pull it outside the city, and we will retreat immediately."

County Magistrate Shen took a deep breath and said, "Can you guarantee that if I give you weapons and equipment, you will retreat immediately?" ”

"Naturally, I still pay attention to integrity, not to mention that your life is already in my hands, killing you only needs to pull the trigger, but kill you, there will be another new county magistrate to come, compared to choosing a new county magistrate, I still hope to cooperate with you, after all, your methods are a little darker, fortunately, it is only in the county town against some more hateful traders and landlords, if you move the peasants, you will not see me tonight."

County Magistrate Shen broke out in a cold sweat, thinking back to the past, he also bullied the traders in the county town, fortunately he did not bully the peasants, the oppression of the peasants actually moved the interests of the local landlords, and it was too far away from the county seat, it was better to directly move those landlords, one by one, knock and knock, let them collect more grain every year.

He was very happy in his heart.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the nervous mood was slightly relieved, and County Magistrate Shen said: "I can give you the weapons and equipment of a battalion, but I also hope that you can be true to your word, and after today, you and I will not violate the river water." ”

"Nature."

That night, County Magistrate Shen took out a battalion's equipment from the warehouse with people and transported them to the cemetery two kilometers outside the south gate of the Black Shadow Population.

The night was hazy, and County Magistrate Shen looked at the surrounding cemetery, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at them, which made him feel creepy, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to put down their weapons and equipment and leave immediately, and did not take away the carriage that pulled the weapons and equipment, so a group of people quickly disappeared into the cemetery.

Not long after this group of people left, a group of people came out of the cemetery, and the fourth battalion commander Wen Juxin said with a smile: "I didn't expect what the regiment commander said to be true, someone will really send weapons and equipment here in the middle of the night, hurry, take your things and leave quickly." ”

The deputy battalion commander asked, "Lao Wen, what did you say happened to the regiment commander?" ”

Wen Juxin said with a smile: "This is not something you and I can worry about, we just need to believe the words of the head of the regiment." ”
