march to victory

After the victory in the Battle of Zhongbao, all Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou provincial committees and military committee branches decided to carry out the siege of Longshan.

During the rest period of the main force, a small number of troops besieged Longshan County, which was guarded by the 34nd Brigade and 2th Regiment of the New 4th Division of the Hunan Army and Shi Xingzhou's security regiment.

The basis for this decision is: first, since the Battle of Zhongbao was a great victory for our side, it is impossible for the enemy to arrive with reinforcements within half a month to 20 days; There is not much food in stock, at most enough to last for ten days to half a month; third, the defenders have very little ammunition reserves, and the fortifications are not very strong; Feng County is isolated and helpless, and can force back the enemies stationed in Laifeng.And if we can go to Longshan and Laifeng, in terms of geography and other conditions, they are most suitable as the basic bases of the Red Army's Soviet area... This was the idea and deployment of the Red Army at the beginning, but later various conditions changed, and finally became a siege point Aid the battle.

On June 1935, 6, He Long and Ren Bishi commanded the Sixth Red Army Corps to enter the area around Shoushan Town, Longshan County (now Min'an Subdistrict Office, Longshan County). to rest.

At the same time, the Red Sixth Army mobilized the masses in Shigaoshan, Xinglong Street, Maoping, and Ciyantang in Longshan County, setting off a wave of revolution.

On June 6, He Jian, the enemy commander-in-chief, ordered Tao Guang to lead the 25nd and 62th divisions to reinforce Longshan from Yongshun.

On July 7, the first part of the 2nd Division of the Taoguang Column arrived at Xiaojing Town, the junction of Yongshun County and Longshan County.

同日，红六军团第17师及18师一部和红二军团第4师12团1营，至小井阻击该敌。

"Old Peng, the head of the group asked us to investigate, but look at the situation, it's a mess, is there any need for investigation?" Zhang Qingshan, dressed in plain white, stood on the balcony on the second floor of an inn, looking down and said. .This inn was carefully selected, because it is located on a high ground, and it stands on the second floor, so it can basically overlook the small town of Xiaojing.

Xiaojing Town was not big at all, and more than 62 people from the Second Regiment of the 2000nd Division of the enemy rushed in. As far as the eye could see, the town was full of soldiers from the national army.What's more, these soldiers are not as particular about autumn and innocence as the Red Army. After they entered the town, they first occupied the town's primary school. As a result, the elementary school was requisitioned as the headquarters of the enemy's vanguard.

Afterwards, the common people were unlucky. Those who are better, send some money, and invite them to live in the inn. Those who have no money are really unlucky. The doves occupy the magpie's nest, and the original owner lives in the cowshed or the eaves. Contribution, temporary requisition.Those who dare to disagree will be punished with fists and kicks, and at worst will be directly arrested in the cell and asked to redeem them with money.

After harming ordinary people, it's the turn of those big households.Ordinary soldiers would not take the initiative to provoke these people, but some grassroots officers dared to come to blackmail them.In the end, they are like hooligans who wantonly harm people on the street, bullying meals, beating people when they disagree with each other, and so on. In a word, the whole town is in bad luck from top to bottom.The people dared not speak out, paving the way for later events.

Harmful will be beneficial!

In this way, the Second Enemy Regiment has no secrets at all.Zhang Qingshan, Peng Peng, and Zhou Baoyu were ordered to go to the town for reconnaissance in advance, and they basically figured it out in just half an hour: In fact, it didn't take much effort at all. , everything becomes clear after a little questioning.Or if you ask the people, you can also get a lot of useful information.That's why Zhang Qingshan joked to Peng Peng, saying that there was no need for reconnaissance at all, and he would be able to find out by sending anyone to ask: the enemy basically regarded the whole town as a barracks, and divided their camps according to the residences and streets of the people. Such a commotion, how can it not be a mess?

The only thing I don't know is the enemy regiment's headquarters, because the security there is much stricter, and ordinary people don't even think about going in.

"Ah~! The common people have suffered."

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan also put away his smiling face, looked gloomy at the wandering soldiers and crying civilians on the street, and said coldly: "Don't worry, the account will be settled with them soon. "

"Boom~! Boom! Boom!"

Hearing the signal to knock on the door, Zhou Baoyu swiftly ran to open the door, and saw that it was team member Luo Wen and his younger brother Luo Wu.

After pouring two glasses of water for the other party, Zhang Qingshan got straight to the point: "Has the information been sent back?"

Seeing Luo Wen nodding, Zhang Qingshan asked in surprise, "So fast?"

"We met the team at Liangfeng Cave ten miles away, and they are stationed there now."

Zhang Qingshan grinned excitedly.Peng Peng, who was on the side, asked, "What instructions does the superior have?"

"The head of the regiment asked us to sneak into the enemy's headquarters to find out the situation, especially if the enemy's overall deployment is required. Of course, if it really doesn't work, forget it, because the attack time has been set at [-] pm."

Zhang Qingshan looked at the pocket watch that the company commander specially gave him when he got it. It is now 43:[-] in the afternoon.After pondering for a while, he nodded and said: "The enemy arrived two hours earlier than us, busy harming the people, and also didn't have time to take a good rest. It is true that we should catch him by surprise when they are not on their feet and they haven't found us."

The art of war pays attention to the importance of soldiers and speed, but it also depends on the situation.The reason why the attack was launched at 49 o'clock in the afternoon, instead of attacking immediately, was because the two brothers Luo Wen encountered the vanguard of the Red [-]th Regiment who had just arrived at Liangfeng Cave. a regiment.This more than an hour is to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

Afterwards, everyone discussed how to sneak into the enemy headquarters: the enemy is not a fool, no matter how foolish they are, the protection for the regiment headquarters will definitely not be weak.If the time is longer, it is still possible to sneak in, but if you want to sneak in within this time, you have to figure out the situation.

But in Zhang Qingshan's view, this is a mission, a military order, and it is related to the collective honor of the commando, how can he give up lightly?

After discussing for a while, Zhang Qingshan couldn't come up with a good solution. Zhang Qingshan lit a cigarette in some annoyance, walked to the balcony, and stared at the enemy regiment headquarters in a daze.

"Qingshan, or else, forget it." Peng Peng came to Zhang Qingshan, looked at the enemy regiment headquarters in the distance, sighed, and said softly: "I can't blame you. The time is too tight and it can't be completed at all. Besides , Just a mob like them, as long as we launch an attack later, we will definitely be able to take them down in one go. They don’t even have time to escape, so there’s no time to clean them up. By then, we won’t be able to get their information as well.”

"I know." Zhang Qingshan nodded, but still looked at the enemy regiment headquarters, and said unwillingly: "But, Lao Peng, this is the first time the regiment commander has given an order to our commando team. It's not the face of an individual, it's the face of an entire commando."

"But the time is really too fast, unless we attack by force..."

Before they finished speaking, they saw a commotion downstairs, and the two naturally looked down.

"Military lords, please do me a favor. The old man makes a living by collecting firewood. This load of firewood is for exchange for some rations to return home. Please, please let me go."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you a load of firewood to light a fire and cook for me because I came here to kill the red heads, that's how I think highly of you."

Downstairs, six or seven soldiers surrounded an old man carrying firewood. Two of them were cursing and snatching the old man's load of firewood, while the others were laughing and watching the show.

"Master Jun, there is really nothing to eat at home, this load of firewood... ouch~!"

Before the old man finished speaking, the shoulder pole was snatched by a soldier. Seeing that he was reluctant to let go, he dared to hold on to the pole. A big man at the side kicked the old man down and cursed: "Old man, The Lord thinks highly of you for taking a load of firewood from you, so there is so much nonsense."

"Yes! If you dare to yell again, I will destroy you first."

"Old man, why don't you support the national army so much, are you with the red-headed gang?"

"That's right, say one more word, and I'll send you to prison right away."

Seeing these people casually accusing himself of a serious crime while they were talking, and all looking unkindly, the old man was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak, and just kept shaking his hands.

Seeing that the old man's face changed from fright, several soldiers of the national army laughed proudly and left with firewood.The old man and the people around him dared not speak out.

Zhang Qingshan looked at the old man, then at the soldiers of the national army, thought for a while, and focused his eyes on the load of firewood.Suddenly he slapped his head, pulled Peng Peng into the room, and expressed his thoughts... Don't you guys love to grab?OK!I sent it to your door for you to grab.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Qingshan walked quickly past the enemy regiment headquarters with his head down, carrying a large bundle of firewood.

Sure enough, as the situation was analyzed in advance, a soldier standing guard at the door immediately shouted: "Stop!"

Zhang Qingshan looked up at the other party in 'astonishment', his face changed, he lowered his head, and walked forward at a faster pace.

The soldier was obviously a little angry, shouted to stop and ran over, grabbed Zhang Qingshan, pointed the gun directly at Zhang Qingshan's waist, and said in a deep voice: "Are you deaf? I told you to stop, you he Damn you saw it all, and you dared to pretend you didn't hear it, why, look down on me, right?"

Zhang Qingshan hurriedly raised his hand in fright, but the pole on his shoulders slipped down. He grabbed the pole again, put down the firewood, and hurriedly explained: "Master Jun, how dare I look down on you, I... I thought you It was someone else who yelled."

"Stop fucking nonsense." The soldier looked at Zhang Qingshan angrily: "If you look down on me, you look down on the national army, so you have to be shot."

"Don't! Don't! Jun Ye, I know I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

The soldier saw that Zhang Qingshan was like a quail, his calves were trembling with fright, and he kept bowing to himself, and then he smiled a little, and then with a somewhat smug and cunning smile, he said: "However, I am in a good mood today , I am too lazy to waste a bullet on you. How about this, your firewood is confiscated, and it will be regarded as a punishment for looking down on the national army."

Zhang Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief: I'm afraid you think I think highly of the national army and won't punish you!
