The ten days of training soon passed, and the independent division can now be described as strong and strong. With sufficient financial support, the heavy reserve of grain is sufficient for the entire independent division to use for one month. Liu Hua didn't plan to use it. He prepared for the coming grass and snow mountains in advance.
This morning, all the officers above the battalion level of the independent division came to the division, and everyone can obviously feel that a war is waiting for them.
"Everyone is here. After nearly ten days of rest, our independent teacher should also take it out to practice."
Seeing the cadres heard that the teacher said there was a battle to fight, all of them rubbed their hands and raised their ears.
"Does everyone seem to be very enthusiastic? In this case, everyone's interest will not be disappointed. Political commissar, please announce the combat mission." Liu Hua smiled at the political commissar.
Political commissar Li Qing suddenly heard that the division instructed him to arrange a battle plan. He froze for a moment, and immediately understood that the division had to help him establish some prestige in the independent division. He couldn't help but feel warm, and stood up quickly, picking himself up and passing by the division. Hours discuss completed combat orders.
"Comrades, I now declare a combat order. 'The conference room quieted for a moment.
Li Qing nodded.
"With the consent of the Military Commission, I now order: Commander Sun Xingbang leads a regiment and artillery battalion to start at noon and head straight for Changsha. We must show the prestige of the independent division, let the enemy smell the wind, and let Xiang Jian, the commander of the army, be afraid, let He transferred the Xiang Army in the front to ease the pressure on the central government. "
"Yes, resolutely complete the task." A head of the regimen stood up and said loudly.
"Except for leaving a platoon for ammunition transport by all regiments, all the regiments led all of them to gather in the division's division, and all were commanded by commander Li. The recruits also fought with the division, at noon. Depart and I'll let you know when my lead destination arrives. "
"The second and third regiments, artillery battalions, heavy machine gun battalions, guard battalions, reconnaissance battalions, and sniper battalions, all under the command of the division commander, will leave the city at 6 pm. The destination and operation target division directors will tell you."
"Okay, the combat order is announced, and everyone will immediately go back to do the pre-war mobilization and break up." Liu Hua made a final conclusion.
On the way to Changsha, a group of independent divisions were screaming to march. The head of the group, Sun Xingbang, went to the slope of the road from time to time to pick up the telescope and look forward to the road. After nearly half a day of marching, a group had almost arrived The border of Zhuzhou has been reached. You must know that the 3rd Division under siege has been stationed in Zhuzhou last time. Sun Xingbang sent almost all his reconnaissance companies all the way to inquire about the 3rd Division, for fear of something unexpected, causing the loss of troops.
Finally, the troops passed Zhuzhou and nothing happened. After the commander Sun released the alert, he ordered the troops to rest and eat. We must know that the command of the division commanded him to launch an attack tomorrow morning. Thinking of the command of the division commander, the grandson admired it very much. Obviously, the division commander wanted to use 3 divisions to force the operation, forcing He Jian to relocate to the front line of the Xiang Army, to reduce the pressure on the main force. You know, if you yourself, you can never think of such a method, which can annihilate the enemy and cover the shift of the main force.
After a two-hour break, the group started again. Although it was very tiring, but after ten days of training, plus the usual meals, it was not good. None of the comrades yelled and gritted their teeth. before.
At dawn, a group rushed to the periphery of Changsha City. Looking at the city walls under the moonlight at night, the head of Sun was a bit blinded. Fortunately, the teacher did not require a forcible attack, as long as He Jian was scared. You must know how long Changsha has passed Tian's investigation knew that the garrison was not enough for a division.
"The artillery company and all the heavy machine guns were ordered to set up positions, and the rest of the troops would rest first." Sun Xingbang immediately issued a combat order.
A regiment quickly completed the pre-war preparations, and all the artillery heavy machine gunners were in place, waiting for a command from their regiment.
At this time, the sky had a little light, and the outline of the city wall was faintly seen. It seemed that the enemy had not yet found itself, and still leisurely walked around the city wall to talk about the sky.
"Start"
Twenty mortars made a dull sound, and 20 mortar shells drew beautiful arcs and fell on the wall. "Boom boom boom ......" As the sound of explosions rang, enemy bodies continued to be bombarded on the city wall.
He Jian, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by an explosion. "Deputy, what's wrong, what's the direction of the city gate?" The commander eagerly called.
"Report the commander-in-chief, report from the city gate: about one division's communist army is carrying mortars to attack Changsha." The lieutenant was eager to tell his commander the news he had just received.
"What, a division, is there a mistake, where are there so many people in the Communist Army? Quickly, find out for me quickly, let the guards defend immediately, you must not let the Communist Army rush into the city, hurry! You are still holding What are you doing? "When he saw the deputy still lingering there, He Jiangu couldn't get dressed and got up and kicked the deputy.
"Chief of Staff, what's the situation now." He Jian, who hurried to the war room, couldn't rest and asked quickly.
"The commander-in-chief of the Communist Army is attacking, and the enemy's artillery is very fierce. We have repelled an attack by the Communist Army, but the brothers have lost a lot. Now we have lost more than one battalion."
"So fast, where are there so many people in the Communist Army? Is that clear?" He Jian asked incredulously.
"It has been found out that it was an independent division of the Communist Army encircled some time ago. Since they last wiped out Zhou Hunyuan's 1st division, they have been staying in Chaling, but they did not expect to come to Changsha."
"Uh, independent division, wipe out the entire division." He Jian said here immediately, "Chief of Staff, how many troops do we have in the city now?" After all, it is important to save lives.
"Chief commander, there are only two guard brigades. Are we transferred to the 3rd Division in Zhuzhou to help the defense!" The chief of staff also reminded worriedly.
"Well, you can. In my name, let the 3rd Division send two brigades over. It's faster. Also, let the front line of Li Jue's army be withdrawn from the Communist Army. Damn, I have been fighting with the Communist Army for so long. Lao Chao is almost occupied. "Thinking of Chiang Kai-shek giving himself the title of Commander-in-Chief of Bandits and sending himself to the army, now he is not only hurting his soldiers, but even attacking his own nest, he can't help but scold him.
"But, chief commander, the chairman ..." the chief of staff reminded.
"Don't mention the chairperson to me. Lao Chao is almost out of control. What kind of bandits are you? Immediately send me a report and let them quickly withdraw their troops and return to Changsha." He Jianyan, who was already angry, heard the chief of staff talk Chiang Kai-shek was even more furious.
"Master, teacher, good news." Watching the correspondent hurriedly came over.
"What good news! See how happy you are."
"Secretary, the investigator sent information just now. The enemy's 3rd division set off two brigades from Zhuzhou half an hour ago and was heading towards our ambush. There is still two hours to go here." The correspondent was happy. Said quietly. Liu Hua smiled, knowing that these were within Liu Hua's expectations.
It turned out that Liu Hua led his troops out of town shortly after the start of a regiment, pointing his target directly to the middle of Zhuzhou and Changsha. When several regiment commanders knew their plans, they immediately wanted to drive. Our division is a big deal, this time at least another enemy brigade.
In this way, under the encouragement of the chief political commissar, each soldier screamed and hurried to his destination, even after the group. Of course, this battle plan was notified to the commander through radio.
The soldiers rushed to their destination panting, and didn't want to take a break. Each soldier quickly finished his breakfast on this water and cold buns and began to build fortifications, preparing to ambush the enemy.
The artillery battalion was busy measuring firing data. With the help of Liu Hua, Commander Chen Guangrong divided the positions into countless small squares and labeled the data, so as to ensure accurate and fast shooting. You should know that this time, the mortars of various regiments were used in a centralized manner. There were a total of 40 mortars, and almost no ammunition could be beaten. If I hadn't done it before, I wouldn't even think about it.
Under the intervention of Liu Hua, the heavy machine guns were all concentrated in the heavy machine gun battalion, with a total of nearly 60, all disguised, lined up, and marked in advance to ensure that no dead ends were left. Watching his soldiers finish their pre-war preparations in an orderly manner, Liu Hua felt closer and closer to his goals.
The 3 division commander stationed in Zhuzhou was awakened by his deputy early in the morning. He was very angry, but when he heard that it was attacked by the Communist Army in Changsha, he asked to send troops for defense and immediately jumped up. You know, My own chairperson hates these warlords the most, but they are all people who have the army and the territory. It's not easy to do anything. Now I finally have the opportunity to let the people of the Central Army enter the Xiang Chao's nest. Go, Changsha is soon the site of the Central Army. By that time, it will definitely be appreciated by the chairman. Maybe his rank will still be upgraded?
In fact, He Jian, as the coach of the Xiang Army, did not want the Central Army to help, because the Central Army came like a wolf into the room, but now his Xiang Army is not stationed everywhere, or is siege the Communist Army on the front line. Come in. However, I kept my own post because my Xiang Army would return immediately. If you do n't leave then, some of my divisions will be afraid of you.
The 3rd division commander thought of this, and he immediately ordered his deputy division commander to bring the three artillery companies of the First and Second Brigade and all the artillery troops to Changsha at full speed.
And he immediately reported his credit to Chairman Jiang. Sure enough, the chairman immediately called back, and still called back in person, and asked to keep Changsha. Then he would try to keep the troops in Changsha, and he was praised by the chairman.
Just as the 3rd division commander recalled the telegram drafted by Chairman Jiang himself, thinking of his rank rising to the next level ...... He didn't know that his two elite brigades and all the artillery were Step by step to the trap Liu Hua laid for him.
