Chapter 20 - Siege

Political commissar Li Qing has been standing on the tower with a telescope and watching the distance since Liu Hua left the county town with the second regiment. He stayed on the tower in this way and calmed down after hearing the gunfire for about two minutes. You know, now political commissars are afraid of serious casualties, and troops are in transition. If there are severely wounded people, they will definitely slow down the marching speed and flexibility of the troops.

Hearing the gunfire soon ended, the political commissar knew that his troops had won, and the only thing he was worried about was the casualties of the troops.

Soon a team appeared in the distance, heading towards the county seat. Seeing that the army did not have a stretcher, the nervous heart finally let go, and hurried down the tower to meet the division commander.

"Political commissar, how did you get out of the city? How is the situation in the city now!" As soon as the teacher met him, he was concerned about himself, and Li Qing couldn't help but be moved.

"Division, everything is normal in the county seat. How are the ambush battles? Are there heavy casualties?" Touched by Gui, Li Qing immediately returned to the topic and hurriedly asked.

"Political commissar, do n't worry. Some teachers have personally gone out. You are also worried. In this battle, we will be prosperous, wipe out the enemy 's battalion, and seize the entire battalion 's equipment. Only a few of our soldiers were tripped during the charge and suffered minor injuries. No one was killed. "The second commander, Plateau, quickly saw the political commissar's eagerness and quickly answered.

"Okay, okay, comrades are all good, quickly, quickly go to the city, the cooking class bought a few bites of fat pigs, and they have prepared lunch. Are you waiting for your victory? Come back, fast. Qing heard excitedly after listening.

"Political commissar, through interrogation of captives, Xiangjun Liu Jianxu seems to have noticed that Xing'an County is not right, and has taken precautions." I decided that we retreat at night, let's discuss where to attack?

"Well, I've been here for a day and a night, it's time to leave. At the same time, it's time to let the enemy know that our independent division exists." Li Qing said to the division with a smile, and by the way, seized Xiang. Army map.

Both eyes fell on Jinggangshan at the same time.

"Xiao Long, immediately notify the leaders of several regiments and cadres directly under the army to come to the meeting." After discussion with the political commissar, the two decided to call back to Jinggangshan to attract the enemy's assistance and reduce the pressure on the Central Red Army. To return to Jinggangshan, Attack the enemy's heavily defended Chaling first.

"Comrades, I discussed with the political commissar just now. In order to better contain the enemy's main force and reduce the pressure on the Central Red Army, we decided to return to the base area, to give Chiang Kai-shek a heavy blow, and to take the opportunity to encourage the guerrilla guerrillas in the base area to persist."

After listening to the commander's words, several principal officials immediately got excited and wanted to return to the base. This is something that they have been dreaming of since the Long March began. Can their teachers now bring themselves back to the base, can they not be happy? They rushed to say, "Master, we will certainly do heavy damage to the enemy, teacher."

Looked at the main officials eager to try below. Liu Hua also laughed.

"Well, since everyone is so confident, I now order that a regiment is the vanguard of the division, with the reconnaissance row as the leader, and went straight to Chaling. When Chaling came to envelop the enemy, they attacked after the siege. There can also be no casualties, just pressure the enemy and let them keep asking for help and let the artillery company follow you.

The guard company, the reconnaissance company, one or two rows, the firepower battalion, and the heavy escort sent me to follow up with me. After the second regiment, a group was separated by ten miles from the heavy group, and the second group was separated by five miles from the Chinese army. Set off and rushed to Chaling. "

"Yes, team leader," several people shouted in unison.

In the dark night, a group of soldiers, with the encouragement of the political commissar and others, ran panting, the soldiers of the artillery company were not far behind, and hurriedly followed the horses behind.

After a few hours of marching, the soldiers' pace gradually grew heavy. The old Sun stopped the soldiers in time to change from marching to ordinary marching. In this way, after two rounds, the sky was almost shining, and the outline of Chaling had already reflected in the eyes of Old Sun and others.

"Now I order, the second battalion sieges from the front, and the third battalion sieges from the back. The artillery company immediately builds positions and listens to my orders for shelling. One battalion acts as a reserve team." Old Sun calmly ordered.

As a former commander, Old Sun could guess that his division should not only win Chaling this time, because with his own regiment and the artillery company, he was fully capable of capturing only one regiment with less casualties. Chaling defensively. The head of the regiment did not require the Chaling to be captured, but only to pressure the enemy and ask them to ask for help. Think of it here. Lao Sun showed an unnoticeable smile, and it seemed that the teacher was the teacher.

"The bombardment started. With the order of Lao Sun, the 12 mortars of the artillery company who had been preparing for a long time immediately spewed out fire tongues. The 105th Regiment of the Central Army defended by Chaling was miserable. When did they encounter this? Violent artillery. After all, it was the Central Army. After losing some troops, it immediately began to prepare for defense in an orderly manner under the leadership of its commander.

After guessing the division 's intentions, the old man did n't plan to use too many shells, but he did n't hit five shells each. Although he has enough shells now, he ca n't waste it here.

With the completion of the shelling, the Assault rang, and the Second and Third Battalions immediately launched an assault. However, as soon as they contacted the enemy and suffered casualties, they stopped. At this time, the mortar fired again. After this shelling, one zero The head of the five regiments could no longer bear it, because after two shellings just now, he had lost a battalion, and he immediately sent a call for help to his peak.

"The Rapporteur, an emergency telegram from the 105th regiment: about one regiment of the Communist Army is attacking Chaling with mortars. It has lost the strength of a battalion and requested reinforcements."

"What? The Communist Army is a regiment. Where did these people come from, does not it mean that the Communist Army on the East Bank has been destroyed? How did you get it, and immediately asked the commander to generate electricity." Central Army 21, who was left in the Central Soviet Area. Shouted the teacher.

"Mr. Bai, it's not good. The 21st division commander called. A regiment of the Communist Army was attacking Chaling and asked if this regiment was a remnant of the East Coast Communist Army."

"Isn't it just a regiment of the Communist Army? There are more than 10,000 people in his 21st division, and he was afraid of more than a thousand people. He immediately ordered the 21st division to send a brigade reinforcement to destroy the group *."

At this time, Bai Chongxi didn't know what Liu Hua was thinking about how to calculate him? It turned out that Liu Hua, a later generation, knew that since the Central Soviet Area was occupied by the enemy at this time, the enemy had only stayed in the four divisions of the Bai Chongxi Ministry. If they wanted to do something better, they must strike the four divisions to make the enemy afraid. I can only develop better when I return to the base. Only Li Qing knew this plan.

"Rapporteur, according to the investigation, the enemy sent a brigade from Anren, equipped with a mortar company, two heavy machine gun companies, about 3,500 people, heading towards Chaling, and entered Chaling in about seven hours. "

"Well, political commissar, it seems that the enemy is here, and we have something to do, map." Liu Hua said to the political commissar with a smile.

At this time Liu Hua was taking the recruit barracks and the second regiment with nearly 3,000 men and horses parked five miles away from Chaling, waiting for the fighter planes to appear. At this point the fighter finally came.

Looking at the section of the road from Anren to Chaling on the map, the eyes of the two people fell on the Ma Fu River at the same time.

"Order the troops to march quickly, rush to the Ma Fujiang, build an ambush position, quickly." Liu Hua immediately ordered.

Ma Fujiang was about 10 miles away from Chaling. The independent teacher came here for about an hour. Seeing the terrain here, Liu Hua couldn't help saying, "It really helps me,"

The reason why it is called Mapu River is because the road here is located in the valley. From a high point, it lies here like a river. Looking at the nearly two kilometers long valley, Liu Hua was happy.

"Conduct a Combat Conference Now"

"Comrades, you should all understand my intentions this time! I am not as simple as winning Chaling. I want to have about four enemy divisions in the Soviet area. If we want to do something in the future, The enemy must be dealt a heavy blow. Today 's opportunity is coming. The enemy 's brigade is about to start soon. I decided to ambush the enemy here. With two regiments and divisions directly under the force of 3,000 troops, ambush the enemy 's brigade. We have no confidence. "

Liu Hua, the commander of the battalion who was looking forward to the test, asked.

"Yes!" The cadres answered in unison.

"Okay, I 'll arrange combat missions below;

The guard company was responsible for tail-breaking. After the battle started, the enemy blocked the retreat, and no one was allowed to escape. "

"Yes, resolutely complete the task." Bruce Lee stood up and said salutingly.

"Captain Gao, now I want you to organize the whole group of sharpshooters, as long as one platoon, forming a sniper company, with Luo Wenhua as company commander, ambush on both sides of the position, the commander and heavy firefighters on the sniper, demanding that the enemy be heavily machine-gunned. The artillery cannot be fired. "

"Yes, resolutely complete the task," said the guard officer company deputy company commander salute.

"I order the ambush in the following order: one battalion, two battalions, and three battalions. The recruit battalions are all inserted into the three battalions, and no one divides 5 grenades. After a round of machine gun fire, collective bombing is carried out in the fastest time. After the cast, all the automatic firepower is arranged on the front line, and the enemy must be killed in the first time. The two companies with heavy machine guns are arranged in a centralized manner. Chen Guangrong must clear the shooting range in advance, not leave a dead angle, and do n't save me bullets. As long as the enemy brigade is wiped out, the ammunition is mostly not allowed to charge without order, so as to avoid accidental injury, and execute immediately. "

"Yes" everyone shouted in unison.

At this moment, Liu Hua suddenly thought of "a battalion commander to stay."

"Captain Gao, I will give you three rows of reconnaissance companies. You must stop your heads, defend your positions, and prevent the enemy from breaking out in Chaling. I will give you 3 machine guns from the battalion to strengthen the stopping forces. Firepower, is there a problem? "

"Rapporteur, resolutely complete the task."

Watching Liu Hua's tasks not worthy of being organized in such a short period of time, it was another moment of emotion. "Master, everyone has tasks, what are we two doing?" Said the political commissar with a smile.

"We, huh, I go sniping, you and I don't know, huh, go." After saying that, regardless of the political commissar's surprised look, he went out.
