The uprising came earlier than planned.
Due to the tightness of the battlefield in the northeast, the Kuomintang army urgently moved south to the north. Shangfeng secretly ordered Liu Hanying to quickly get rid of the entanglement of Yang Tinghui's troops and quickly assemble north of the Yellow River.
Chen Mohan received the order to migrate, and immediately notified Dongfang Wenyin through Yu Zhen.
On the one hand, Yang Tinghui deployed a delayed operation against Liu Hanying's troops, sabotaged the roads and harassed Liu Hanying's garrison with armed forces in the six sub-districts of Buluo Mountain, and on the other hand, attacked Liu Hanying's Wu Bingqiu Brigade with the main force of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Brigade and 2nd Independent Regiment. The 2nd Brigade of Liang Bida interspersed to the south of Erlonggang to respond to the uprising on the battlefield of Chen Mohan.
But at this time, there was a new situation: Liu Hanying had received a secret report from his subordinates that Chen Mohan's group was plotting against him, and the rebellion was imminent. Liu Hanying was shocked, temporarily put aside all actions, and in the name of organizing the north, he quickly arranged to take measures against Chen Mohan's group.
Just when Chen Mohan's troops were assembled and were about to embark on the journey of the uprising, the first regiment of Zhang Jiayu's brigade in the north made a detour and set up camp in Wulongji, and the other two regiments of the second regiment, the fourth regiment and the two regiments of the Qigefei brigade also rolled towards Wulongji from the left and right roads respectively, under the banner of passing through this place to move defense, in fact, it was intended to coerce the third regiment to go north, and once the coercion failed, it would be solved on the spot.
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Yang Tinghui ordered Liang Bida to first intercept Zhang Jiayu's regiment, and the two armies fought fiercely on the front line of Erlonggang, and Ma Ziwei's two regiments attacked Liang Bida's defense line from the right flank, and the second brigade could not escape. Zhang Jiayu's 2nd and 4th Regiments, the two regiments of the Siegfei Division commanded by Wen Zeyuan, and the special service battalion received Liu Hanying's order, and a total of 5,000 troops galloped to the Oolong Collection. As soon as Chen Mohan's third regiment left on the back foot, Wen Zeyuan's front foot arrived, and Qi Gefei's regiment connected with Chen Mohan's rear troops and chased after him.
Chen Mohan's troops alternately covered, fighting and retreating, and the speed slowed down significantly. Zhang Jiayu's two regiments made a detour to the Songdian area with a rapid march, hoping to cut off Chen Mohan's way head-on.
The first to arrive at Songdian Shilipu was the Second Brigade Special Service Group commanded by Song Shangda and Dongfang Wenyin. At this time, the situation is clear at a glance, if Chen Mohan's troops cannot get rid of the pursuit of Ma Ziwei's regiment as soon as possible, they may be wiped out by the absolute superiority of the Zhang Brigade and the Ma Brigade. What is even more serious is that there were already people in Chen Mohan's Third Regiment who had a negative attitude towards the uprising, and the pursuit of the enemy was like Mount Tai pressing the top, and the momentum was like a bamboo; if they fell into a desperate situation at this time, it was very likely that there would be a split within the group, and the situation of escaping from the battle and counterattacking the attack might occur, so that this army that was about to be reborn would face the catastrophe of annihilation and be stillborn.
A plan that has been working on for several years and involves a lot of energy is really at stake at this point. Dongfang Wenyin thought about the safety of Chen Mohan's group the most. There are not only work factors, but also credibility pressures, both the overall effect of war and chess, and the reflection on the strength of personality among individuals. She mediated with Chen Mohan on behalf of a fairly first-level organization, and the result of mediation was that Chen Mohan accepted the urging of the uprising, and in this way, he entrusted the fate of the Third Regiment to Yang Tinghui's troops, and it can also be said that he entrusted her to Dongfang Wenyin, specifically to the Bump Mountain Field Column through her Dongfang Wenyin. In this sudden war, Chen Mohan's regiment was like a fragile baby, and Liu Hanying's more than 10,000 men and horses were all coming for this baby. Thinking of this, Dongfang Wenyin's mood was heavy.
Dongfang Wenyin said to Song Shangda: "This mission is special, the enemy is several times larger than me, and there is only a hard top." The main force built fortifications here, and Chen Mohan's troops could not withdraw from the battle without this line of defense. ”
Song Shangda said: "There is one company left, I am the company commander, and there is one squad left, I am the squad leader." ”
Dongfang Wenyin said again: "I'll take a company and go out to answer." ”
Song Shangda resolutely disagreed, saying: "This can't work. Whether Chen Mohan can come back or not depends on his creation. You can't take that risk. ”
Dongfang Wenyin said: "At this time, I appeared in his team, which was very inspiring and significant. We mobilize people, and we are responsible for them to the end. ”
Song Shangda said: "Even if I go, I can only go." If you make a mistake, don't say that Brigade Commander Liang wants to skin me, and I can't explain to myself from top to bottom. ”
Dongfang Wenyin said: "Here are six companies against two regiments, hitting stones with eggs, I can't hold it." Besides, I am a political cadre, and it is my duty to respond to the uprising. Fight any more. Erlian, follow me. ”
If you make up your mind, Dongfang Wenyin will not be the gentle and elegant girl she used to be, holding a pistol and being heroic.
Song Shangda saw that Dongfang's attitude was unquestionable, and he also felt that he had no choice but to do so, so he no longer stopped him.
