march to victory

On June 1935, 6, Hong Sanlian escorted 8 catties of grain, and left Guitang Town in the reluctance of the people in Guitang Town to send them ten miles away. At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, they came to the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps headquarters.

On the 9th, the Regiment Headquarters of the 49th Regiment of the 20th Division of the Second Red Army held a celebration party for the Third Company of the Red Army.The company commander Zhang Guozhi was promoted to the first battalion commander, Li Guowei was appointed to the third company commander of the battalion, and Zhang Qingshan was the commander of the third company commando.What's interesting is that Huang Debao originally wanted to transfer the commando to the battalion headquarters, but Xiang Jiafu and Li Guowei begged him for a long time before he was left in the company, and the number of commandos changed from ten to [-], and , Huang Debao said first that when necessary, the commando must first obey the battalion's arrangement, and the two of them couldn't bear it.By the way, just because Zhou Baoyu is smart and young, so he can easily sneak into the enemy's rear for reconnaissance under makeup without attracting too much attention from the enemy, so Zhang Qingshan specially requested him to be transferred to the commando team and become a correspondent.Of course, from a personal point of view, you can also think of him as a way of protecting the calf.

Xiang Jiafu served as the instructor of the third company: Originally, according to his rank, if he wanted to be promoted, he would either be the chief of staff or the deputy head of the regiment, but he said that he finally had the opportunity to go to the grassroots to hone his skills and insisted on being a company instructor.As a result, there are high-level cadres at the deputy regiment level as company instructors.For this reason, the regiment also specially promoted his spirit of training at the grassroots level - although it is said to "obey the organization's arrangements", as a soldier, if he has the opportunity to lead troops to fight in the main force on the front line, everyone wants to fight for it, especially for him. For civilian soldiers, this is a small goal for them.

Joy is always short-lived, and it ends safely, and the next step is a big battle: In order to smash the heavy encirclement of the Kuomintang reactionaries, the Legion decided to jump out of the encirclement and go to the periphery to severely attack the enemy.

On the 11th, the main forces of the Red Second and Sixth Army jumped out of the enemy's shrinking defense line and arrived at the outskirts of Xuan'en City.After a short rest, at 12:5 am on the 10th, we set off from Xuanen City and the area south of it, and traveled 65 kilometers in [-] hours.

下午3时，红二军团参谋长李达率领线头部队第4师赶到忠堡东北的黄牛棚附近。此时，敌右路大部（第48师黄兴（黄伯韬）的144旅第286、288团、蒋作钧的新编第3旅第2团和保安第5团，由李家河经冉大河、三叶台，向忠堡开进）已经进入忠堡，敌中路（第41师123旅3个团，由李家河经关口、老岔口、想韭菜园开进）已经进入韭菜园西侧。敌左路（第41师121旅3个团和张振汉率领的第41师师直及2个步兵连）刚过老鸦关，距离忠堡只有几里路。

The famous Battle of Zhongbao begins immediately!

In order to prevent the enemy from approaching, our 4th Division immediately launched an attack on the enemy's right marching column, annihilating part of its rear guard, and by defeating the enemy's left vanguard battalion near the east of Zhongbao, Zhang Zhenhan's 41st Division's direct team and The 121st Brigade was suppressed in the valley of Goupiling, and occupied the favorable position of Gaoshengtang between Zhongbao and Goupiling with a part of its troops, built fortifications, detoured to the enemy's flank of Goupiling, and occupied the highland on the east side of Laoya Pass. Cut off the connection and reinforcements of the enemy's left and middle routes.

That night, the main force of the 17th Division of the Hongliu Corps arrived. According to the orders of He Long and Ren Bishi, the 51st Regiment occupied the North Mountain of Zhongbao, monitored the enemies of Zhongbao, and alerted in the direction of Xianfeng.

"Old Li, what do you think our teacher does? Others drink and eat meat in front, but all the brothers of our 17th division stare behind us. What is this?" When he was in Tangzhen, he could bear it, but when he came to the battlefield, it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Everyone knew that he wanted to fight.No, lying on the ground with his comrades, listening to the gunshots coming from the front, he was so anxious that he couldn't bear the torment in his heart, so he dared to arrange a division commander.

He is a deputy senior member of the regiment, and he is qualified to compete with the teacher. He said in private that even the teacher will only roll his eyes if he finds out.Li Guowei was also very depressed about this, but he didn't have the qualifications, so he gave him an angry look: "Give me a cigarette."

Xiang Jiafu took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to him, and asked, "You're just talking. Otherwise, just listening to the excitement of the fight ahead, we're lying on our stomachs watching the show, and I'm going to die of suffocation. "

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Li Guowei took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, judging from the intensity of the gunfire, we must have meat to eat."

"Tell me." Xiang Jiafu, who was about to pick up the cigarette, heard this, took the cigarette, and stopped lighting it, and said excitedly: "You know, what I used to catch was propaganda, and I didn't lead soldiers on it much." Frontline, if you are not familiar with the doorway inside, just give me pointers."

"Old Xiang, according to the plan, the 4th Division has already made dumplings for the enemies in Goupiling, so they should be wiped out as soon as possible to lay the foundation for the ensuing encirclement. But look, it's been fighting for more than half an hour. Not only did the gunfire not stop, but it became more intense. There are only two possibilities for this kind of accident: either they did not eliminate the enemy, or it was difficult to eat the enemy for a while, or there was a major change in the deployment of the military. But From my personal experience, I am afraid that the former is the majority. If this is the case, then, in order to eliminate the enemies in Goupiling as soon as possible, the military headquarters will inevitably invest in troops as soon as possible. Think about it, on the periphery, only Goupi in our 17th Division The 49th Regiment is the closest, and our 49th Regiment is right in the direction of Goupiling Ridge. If we want to send troops to reinforce it, our [-]th Regiment must arrive there in about half an hour. That's why I say, our part is absolutely indispensable in this battle. .”

Xiang Jiafu lit a cigarette excitedly, and said with a smile: "It makes sense, Lao Li, I can't tell, you are really good at fighting, and your talent was really buried in the past."

Xiang Jiafu was about to speak, but he saw Xiang Jiafu staring behind him for a moment, and he also turned his head to look behind him, but saw the correspondent from the battalion department running up, the two stood up happily, and Xiang Jiafu even asked loudly Said: "Xiao Wu, are you sending us to reinforce?"

The correspondent nodded and delivered the order.

Li Guowei's analysis was correct. There was an accident in Goupiling: According to pre-war intelligence, the two regiments of the 121st Brigade on the left side of the enemy were originally the front. The third regiment of the brigade was the empennage. The plan of the 41th Division is to divide it into three groups, attacking snakes and hitting seven inches, and eating the weakest middle part first-the middle part is the headquarters of the army on the left, and its strength is the weakest, so it is natural to kill him first.

But no one expected that Zhang Zhenhan felt that the strength around him was a bit lacking on the way, so he temporarily changed the deployment, merged the three into two, and directly transferred the third regiment to protect him.No one would have thought of such a temporary change of marching operations as a trifle, so the 4th Red Division still fought according to the information it had obtained in advance. In the valley, I didn't expect the enemy headquarters to have an extra regiment.More importantly, this third regiment has a heavy machine gun company with strong firepower.For a while, it is normal for the Red 4th Division to have difficulty gnawing on this hard bone.

After fighting for a while, the 4th Division keenly sensed something was wrong, and asked the prisoners to understand the reason, but most of the troops in hand were deployed, and could not be re-deployed in a short time, so they had no choice but to report to the military headquarters and request support.Li Guowei's analysis was correct. The Red 49th Regiment went to support: from Zhongbao and Goupiling to the south, it urgently supported the Goupiling Nanshan, where the fight was the most tragic, and worked together with the Red 4th Division to annihilate Zhang Zhenhan's headquarters.

As the elite commandos, this is their place of bravery.

As soon as he received the order, Zhang Qingshan immediately set off with 10 team members and marched in a hurry. After about half an hour's journey, they arrived at the outskirts of Goupiling in only [-] minutes.

After passing the two outer security checkpoints, under the leadership of a soldier who was temporarily sent as a guide, he boarded the small hill to the west of Goupiling. Gourd, east big and west small.The besieged enemy obviously did not lose their fighting spirit. They built two temporary defense lines on three sides, relying on strong firepower, desperately blocked our army's attack, but they were in an offensive posture in the south.On the whole, our army is feigning attacks on the east and west sides of the enemy, mainly attacking the enemy's defensive positions in the north. It can be seen that the heavy machine gun is specially used on Nanshan, the Red 4th Division is not strong enough to suppress the enemy, and the enemy has no intention of collapsing.

Zhang Qingshan was not easy to ask, but he couldn't help the doubt and anger in his heart, and asked the temporary guide: "This comrade, ask something that shouldn't be asked, you seem to have not tried your best, right?"

"Which eye of yours saw that we didn't do our best?" The soldier said angrily: "Don't even think about it. Our Red 4th Division has fought several times in succession. Not to mention the loss, and the short rest time, even if we get some soldiers to replenish , but they are all recruits. As for this, the number of them is relatively small among the several divisions."

As he spoke, the soldier's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little sad and angry: "This time, we will not only annihilate the enemy's headquarters, but also share a part of it with the Red 6th Division to destroy the main force of the enemy's 121st brigade. To hell with it if it's enough."

"If our entire division didn't divide our forces, we would have wiped out the enemies here long ago." He turned his head to look at the battlefield, and said unconvinced: "What's more, the situation on the battlefield has changed a lot temporarily. Zhang Zhenhan was so afraid of death that he temporarily turned the guards into The guards are all concentrated here. The few remaining members of our 4th Division can trap the enemy here and prevent them from breaking out. Good comrades, you still say that about us..."

Zhang Qingshan didn't know, but on the way of marching, a new change took place in the battlefield situation: I thought that Zhang Zhenhan's headquarters was desperately trying to break through to the south because our defense in the south was the weakest, but from the enemy's telegram just deciphered I learned that he was going to join the first regiment of his men.Because at this time, although the enemy's second regiment was blocked by our Red 6th Division on the periphery, the enemy's first regiment was making a detour to Nanshan to the south of Goupiling.

But because the commando was advancing at full speed and running too fast, the messengers couldn't catch up, and the news didn't reach him, so he asked this question.

Seeing the other party talking, they all began to wipe away tears, Zhang Qingshan looked at the battlefield situation, and felt a little self-blaming for not knowing the specific situation and making random accusations.Apologize quickly: "Comrade, I'm sorry, I talked too much without knowing the specific situation. It was my fault. I apologize to you."

"It's okay!" The soldier wanted to smile at Zhang Qingshan to express his forgiveness, but it was ridiculous but ugly: "It's my fault, you came to support us, but I complained to you and got angry with you, my attitude is very bad Please forgive me... let's go quickly, the fight over there is really tight."

As we approached Nanshan, we could see that there was no tension at all. It should be said that it was so tragic that it was in danger...
