march to victory

"Company commander, they are so arrogant, why don't you let us fight them? Kill their prestige." Huang Debao complained to the company commander, unable to bear the anger in his heart.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy! These black lights are blind, and they will go into the forest with one shot. Do you want to chase and kill them all over the mountains and plains? If that's the case, can you still go to the destination of this operation?"

Huang Debao gritted his teeth and groaned for a moment, then slapped his thigh angrily, turned around and continued on his way.

After walking for dozens of miles, I encountered three groups of gunmen one after another. Some of them were not bandits, but village guards.Sanlian couldn't stand being harassed, and the company commander consulted with Zhang Qingshan and decided: Take the road!Let's see, who dares to compete head-on with the Red Army.There is another reason: although the path is closer, there are too many dangerous factors in the path, such as the sky is too dark, and it is not easy to light a torch. casualties.

There are too many local bandits and bully minions.

After walking for more than 20 miles on the avenue, everyone was grateful for the safety of walking on the avenue.

"boom!"

A gunshot forced everyone to hide in a small ditch on the right side of the road.

"Company commander, this is the sound of rifle guns."

"En! I heard it." Zhang Guozhi nodded, then came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We are poor here. Whether it is a small group of bandits or the village guards, most of them use muskets when they shoot warning shots. Only those who are rich and powerful will take bullets seriously."

"What do you mean to say: they are not big bandits, but the dogs of the reactionaries?"

"kindness!"

At this moment, someone shouted from the middle of the mountain: "The friend below is from that road, please report your name and listen."

Zhang Qingshan still wanted to fool around like before. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the company commander pressed his shoulder. He heard the company commander shout: "We belong to the 49th Regiment of the [-]th Division of the Sixth Corps of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. We hope our friends on the mountain will go!" convenient."

"I'm stupid! It's a red head."

"Then what else is there to say, fight!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

After the people on the mountain yelled and cursed a few words, they shot indiscriminately down the mountain.

Zhang Guozhi had really rich experience in battle, so he immediately bluffed and shouted: "Damn it, how dare you not give our Red Army face. Follow my orders: the first battalion outflanks from the left, the second battalion outflanks from the right, and the rest attack from the front... Don't be lenient when dealing with these reactionaries, if you catch them, beat me to death. Beat me!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

"Da da da……"

In an instant, gunshots rang out.

Most of the bandits on the mountain used rifles, and only occasionally heard a few box cannons.But the third company not only has rifles, but also pistols, and the most important thing is the sound of the light machine gun, which is extremely piercing.The people on the mountain were confused for a while, and they really thought that they had encountered the main force of the Red Army and immediately panicked.

"The wind is tight, scream!"

"Not good! It's the main force of the red head, everyone run to the woods..."

"Oh my god! They rushed up, wait for me..."

The mountain was in a mess, and when the company commander led his people to the top of the mountain, there was no sign of the enemy.Huang Debao waved the cannon in anger and yelled: "You guys are running fast, these reactionaries!" However, this episode released the anger that everyone had been suffocating all the way, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Later, they encountered a group of real bandits, but when they heard that it was the main force of the Red Army, they gave way without saying a word.

Sanlian escorted the regiment's propaganda team all the way in a hurry, and arrived three miles east of Guitang Town at dawn.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the team to take a short break before the battle, Zhang Guozhi gathered all the platoon leaders and squad leaders together for a meeting. Of course, Zhang Qingshan, a local, had to attend.

Guitang Town is located between Hunan Province, Guizhou Province, and Chongqing City. It is known as the three provinces with one foot. It has been a commercial distribution center since ancient times and is very prosperous.There are five to six hundred households in the town, plus the floating population, the population of the whole town is more than 500 people all year round.Today, there is a platoon of Kuomintang troops stationed in the town. Usually, there are two squads at the east and west checkpoints of the main street, and another squad at the town hall.

After listening to Zhang Qingshan's general introduction to Guitang Town, everyone discussed it, and Zhang Guozhi ordered: Before the enemy is aware of the arrival of the Red Army, the whole company will rush into the town from the east of the town, and deal with the east and west ends of the town in one row. Of the two squads, the second platoon maintained law and order on the street and assisted the third platoon; the third platoon dealt with the town hall—the only light machine gun in the whole company was in the third platoon and the first squad where Zhang Qingshan was, and the firepower was relatively strong.The fourth platoon stood guard outside the town and was also responsible for protecting the safety of the propaganda team.

The first row led, followed by the third row. According to the plan, the opponent was forced to surrender with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit.This strategy is good, but the plan can't keep up with the changes!

I thought there was a squad stationed at the checkpoint at the east end of the town, but I never expected that there were only two soldiers.As soon as they saw a large group of Red Army men rushing towards them, they were so frightened that they ran into the town while firing warning shots at the sky, and shouted desperately, "The red heads are coming."Some shops that had just opened closed immediately, and some porters who were preparing to ship goods ran out of the town...for a while, the town was in chaos.

Zhang Guozhi wanted the two Kuomintang sentries to yell in such a panic, so as to cause the gunmen in the town hall to panic, thereby reducing resistance and reducing the losses of the Red Army.But what everyone didn't expect was that when they took advantage of the chaos and rushed all the way to the town hall located in the center of the main street formation, they encountered stubborn resistance.

Guitang Township Office is located on the right (north side) of the center of the main street. There are more than 20 steps on the front of the street. The courtyard wall reaches about [-] meters, and the surrounding courtyard walls are about [-] meters high, which is more obvious than the courtyard walls of the surrounding residents. One or two meters higher, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

A row of platoon leader Xu led the soldiers along the main street to the front left of the town hall, about thirty meters away, as soon as they showed up, they saw two gunshots from the courtyard wall, followed by crackling and chaotic gunshots .Only one soldier beside him was unable to dodge, and his left arm was injured.Platoon leader Xu didn't expect that the other party was in the same squad, and dared to resist, and was furious for a while.And from the messy gunshots, it can be heard that the opponent is also temporarily defending, otherwise, instead of firing two shots first, they will fire at the same time.

Immediately, the two sides shot at each other.However, relying on the terrain advantage, the opponent has always suppressed our side.

"Old Xu, don't delay the business, leave this to me." The third platoon leader Luo Ping arrived quickly with his men.After observing the enemy's firepower deployment, I shouted to send the people in a row away—you haven't dealt with the enemies in the squad at the west entrance of the town, and you actually want to take my mission and take down the town hall first. You are so beautiful!

Platoon Leader Xu looked back at Luo Ping, nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lao Luo, pay attention, judging from the firepower, there is definitely more than one squad of enemies in this town hall."

After a row of soldiers made a detour, Luo Ping sent people to ask the surrounding people what happened in the town hall, and at the same time sent soldiers to surround the town hall.Before he could figure out what was going on, a soldier came to report that many people rushed out from the back door of the town hall and fled to the west of the town.Judging from their clothes, they are all the leaders and minions of the reactionaries...
