march to victory

On November 1935, 11, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps started the Long March from Liujiaping, Sangzhi County, Hunan Province, and the 19th Corps served as the vanguard.

The people along the way saw each other with tears and said goodbye with tears, and the scene was very touching.It is a pity that the assault company did not see such a scene, because they, as the advance team, set off three hours in advance.

Time: November 11, dusk.

Location: A place called Niulanba on the line of Lishui River and Yuanjiang River, which was heavily blocked by the enemy.

The commando who had just arrived here stood in the woods halfway up the mountain, while waiting for Hu Yingze, who had already contacted the local guerrillas, and a squad each from the upstream and downstream to search, while observing the enemy on the opposite side of Niulanba with binoculars Defensive crossing.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it: the enemy on the opposite side has not only built three long trenches, but the key is that there are seven or eight bunkers. According to the standard configuration, a bunker will have a machine gun to count, plus these six On the 70-meter-wide river, everyone couldn't help but gasp: The enemy's firepower is strong, and they can definitely block the river with firepower. We don't have heavy weapons such as artillery shells to suppress firepower, so we don't even want to attack by force.What's more, the enemy has already collected the surrounding ships to the opposite bank.

Zhang Qingshan put down the binoculars, looked at each other with Peng Peng, both of them showed wry smiles: This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the enemy dares to hold a big feast and feast on the premise that they are very likely to know their arrival Drinking, even laughing and shouting like ghosts and wolves, this is too much to look down on the Red Army, and it makes everyone angry.

After a while, Peng Peng sighed, and said quietly: "I didn't expect that our commando team encountered such a difficult bone for the first time. Sigh~! I hope they can have good news, otherwise, it will be really difficult." We can only wait for the main cannons to arrive."

Zhang Qingshan sat on the ground and looked at the other side of the river without making a sound for a long time, but after a long time, he suddenly hit the ground with all his strength, and cursed unwillingly: "Our commando team is going to make a joke for the first time? Damn, I really can't be reconciled .”

Peng Peng patted the tree trunk beside him, and said, "It's really not possible, so we have to follow the reserved plan. At night, everyone will log and smuggle in other places."

Zhang Qingshan glanced at Peng Peng and nodded.

Although the soldiers were sitting on the ground and resting against the tree trunks, all of them were elite soldiers, and most of them were veterans. Looking at the situation on the river and the other side, they knew what it meant. For a while, no one came to talk and laugh. The mood of laughing, a little depressed in the silent atmosphere.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Baoyu came to report excitedly: "Company commander, the instructor is back."...Before the expedition, Zhang Qingshan was officially appointed as the company commander of the assault company, and Hu Yingze was the instructor.Such an appointment was proposed by Hu Yingze himself to his superiors, who agreed after considering various factors.

Under the leadership of Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Qingshan and his comrades rushed to meet him.

"Old Hu, how are you...Are these the comrades of the local revolutionary guerrillas?" As soon as Zhang Qingshan saw a man and a woman beside Hu Yingze, Zhang Qingshan looked directly at them excitedly, his eyes glowing, as if looking at hope .

Sure enough, Hu Yingze introduced with a smile: "Ha! Ha! Lao Zhang, you have a good brain. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Niu Yingwu, the leader of the guerrilla team in Xianiulan Town. This is the woman rescuer. Comrade Niu Xiaohua, the director of the association. These two comrades are amazing. Not only are they older than us in the party, but they have also participated in the revolution for a shorter time than us... Two comrades, this is my partner, Comrade Zhang Qingshan, commander of the assault company. Don’t look at Comrade Zhang Qingshan who is young, but when our entire army is a well-known local hero and is seriously injured, the enemy who chased him ran away, and finally captured one of the enemy’s chief of staff with one hand..."

Seeing Hu Yingze's happy smile and exaggerated bragging, Zhang Qingshan understood that he had found a solution to the problem of crossing the river, otherwise, Lao Hu would never be so sincerely happy.

He hurried forward, shook hands enthusiastically, introduced himself, and then introduced the main comrades in the company to them.One side said that they were looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally hoped for the main force to come... The other side thanked the local comrades for their strong support... In fact, when the two local comrades saw this group of people wearing patched plain clothes, they thought I was fooled, the ones who came were bandits, but as soon as I walked in, I saw that each of them had two box cannons on their waists, and they were resting and cleaning their guns calmly. You know, this is definitely the main force of the main force.Of course, they didn't know that the Red Army really put in a lot of effort to equip the assault company. Among other things, just the squad leader and above, everyone has a watch (mostly a pocket watch, but there are two watches) , one of them was a certain chief who heard that the assault company needs to accurately determine the time, but after the watch was not enough, he took off the watch without hesitation and sent the guards to send it over. And this watch was when the chief left home to study , was given to him by his father, and the commemoration is of great significance. This shows how much everyone attaches importance to the Assault Company.)

After a passionate conversation, Hu Yingze interrupted: "Everyone is a revolutionary comrade. If you are so polite, you will be alienated. Come on! Everyone sit on the ground... Comrade Yingwu, Comrade Xiaohua, please tell me what you said earlier Let’s talk about the situation with my comrades.”

The place they are in belongs to Xianiulan Town, and the opposite is Shangniulan Town.

Shangniulan Town has developed commerce and controls the wharf, so it is prosperous and prosperous.In order to prevent the disturbance of bandits and bandits, decades ago, a small but extremely strong city was built with funds raised by local wealthy households.

Originally, there were only a hundred men in the city, but a regular regiment suddenly came over a month ago.Not only occupied the city by force, but also dug trenches, reinforced fortifications, and built blockhouses at this place of Niulanba.And sent a battalion of troops to garrison here.

"A battalion?" Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help asking.

Seeing that the two nodded, but their faces did not change a bit, Zhang Qingshan looked at Hu Yingze with some doubts: Why are you not worried at all?

"It's a battalion. We have secretly investigated and calculated that there are four to five hundred people."

"How is their discipline and training?"

Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but not ask these two points.According to the previous plan, after the assault company smuggled past, they would try not to make any gunfire or let go of an enemy, and then they would eliminate the enemies on the other side, paving the way for the next main force to attack Shangniulan Town. Of course, this Just try to achieve the goal.But if there is a battalion stationed on the other side of the river, it will be difficult: even if the enemy is disarmed without a little gunshot, it is inevitable that some enemies will sneak to Shangniulan Town to report the news... This is the first attack of the assault company. Of course, the more perfect the better.

Although the Kuomintang army generally has poor discipline and lazy training, it is inevitable that there will be some bright spots and anomalies among so many troops.If the battalion has good discipline and continuous training, there is nothing to say. Facing such an enemy, no matter how well trained the assault company is, the number of people is three or four times smaller than the opponent. Given this huge gap, let alone Sneak attack, if you can eat the opponent, you will be considered a red star.That also means that neither the first plan nor the reserved plan will work. Everyone can only change the battle plan. When the main force is attacking across the river, it is a good strategy for the assault company to suddenly kill the enemy from behind.

When Niu Xiaohua heard this, she chuckled and said, "Company Commander Zhang, you've hit the point."

"Why..." This obviously refers to the occurrence of an abnormal situation, which caused Niu Xiaohua to be able to laugh at this time full of confidence.Zhang Qingshan hurriedly asked.

"They don't have any discipline at all... It's not right to say that, they have discipline, but the only discipline is to listen to their battalion commander. Their battalion commander is the emperor of this battalion. They can do whatever they are asked to do and never dare to resist. It is unreasonable to talk about committing crimes and bullying the people on weekdays. In the more than a month since they came here, no fewer than four businesses have been forced to close their doors... If it weren't for their leader's scruples The mayor of Lan Town and the cousin of their teacher and wife, I am afraid they will engrave the words 'I am a bandit' on their foreheads." Niu Xiaohua sneered: "As for the training you mentioned, hum! It's not me Look down on them, just their stance of fishing for three days and posting nets for two days, not to mention the main force of our Red Army, they are members of our guerrilla team, if you find any one and come out with them one-on-one, you will definitely let them go."

Zhang Qingshan's tense application was greatly relaxed: a mob, no matter how many people there are, is just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.Fighting with the wind is its strength, but as long as it encounters a little difficulty, the morale of the army will be unstable. If it encounters a surprise attack, such a team will be a mess if it has a large number of people.More importantly, for a warlord team like this that dominates internally, as long as a few people are sent in to grab the biggest ones, it is basically equivalent to controlling everyone.In other words, the original goal of not firing a single shot and not firing a single enemy may be realized.

At this moment, Niu Yingwu interrupted and said the next paragraph, which made Zhang Qingshan and others even happier.

The battalion was originally stationed in the town. The battalion commander, Li Yuda, is a hardcore theater fan. Half a month ago, he participated in the mayor's [-]th birthday in the town. The son was attracted by his singing, stopped playing mahjong, and went straight to the stage.

After finishing his drama addiction, he fell in love with Lan Xiangyu.However, the mayor's youngest son is also a fan of Lan Xiangyu's drama, and he covets Lan Xiangyu, but Lan Xiangyu is not a good person. Under her operation, the bloody drama of dogs fighting for bones begins.

From the beginning of the "Wen Dou", the two each acted in front of Lan Xiangyu, and then sent people to fight privately. In the end, Li Yuda became angry and resorted to the bandit tactics of the soldiers, and sent several men to grab Lan Xiangyu Jade.And the young son of the mayor's family is also a brave and ruthless person. With the secret support of the elders of the family, he turned the servants and the gunmen of the town hall into his bodyguards. He yelled at his father with snot and tears, and finally, his father became angry (in a general sense, this is a competition between foreign forces and local tyrants), and sent someone to the boss of the regiment, It was his nephew who wrote a letter to complain... But these days, no law or custom can compare to a gun. Li Yuda regarded robbing people as a war. In the middle of the night, he finally sent troops to raid successfully and brought back Lan Xiangyu.In the end, under the coordination of the head of the regiment, Li Yuda apologized to the mayor's youngest son and compensated five hundred oceans as consolation money. At the same time, the battalion was transferred to Niulanba to garrison... people thought about it.

When the matter came to this point, there was a wonderful turning point, which made every Red Army soldier who heard about it smile...
