The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Talking about the tasks during this period, Han Battalion Commander was full of bitterness, bit the pig's trotter in his hand, and said: "It's better to come out to do the task, take advantage of this opportunity, take the team out to rest, and return I hope that county magistrate Shen can say a few more words to the head of the regiment."

When the county master heard this, he immediately understood the plan of Battalion Commander Han in front of him. It was hard work to encircle and suppress the Red Army. It was at the critical period of the Central Plains War, and the national army could not afford to deal with the Red Army in the mountains. They paid huge casualties like the last time and were unable to wipe out the Red Army. Instead, the Red Army scattered among the mountains and ran out while they were entering the mountain.

This time they learned to be smart and only surrounded but not fought, but the price was that every late night, the Red Army in the mountains would come down the mountain to sneak attack them, making them restless. Annihilate this Red Army.

Battalion Commander Han really didn't want to go back and suppress the Red Army, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to run out and stay for a while. He just needs to explain to Commander Sun that the progress of encircling the Red Army here is slow. up.

A smile appeared on the face of the county master who understood in his heart: "Battalion Commander Han, this is a trivial matter. When the time comes to wipe out this Red Army, you can stay in the county for a while. I will let the steward tell Commander Sun, I am afraid that the Red Army that has not been wiped out will make a comeback, and it needs Battalion Commander Han to take care of it."

Battalion Commander Han showed a smile on his face: "Then I would like to thank County Magistrate Shen."

With tacit smiles on their faces, they toasted again.

In the base area, as soon as the Bai army came to the county, he had already received the information from the procurement team. Li Qingming stood beside Xia Yuan and said, "Company commander, a battalion of the Bai army, and we The Red Army strength in the base area already has 100 to [-] people, and they only have two battalions of troops, if they want to take action against us, I’m afraid they can’t.”

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "Of course not, even if we can, even if we can drive our Red Army away, the idea of ​​being the master of the country has already taken root in this land. They can only destroy our armed forces, but they cannot destroy the land that has taken root. thought of."

Although the expansion of the base area stopped during this period, the aftermath of the large-scale movement of the Red Army in these villages has not subsided, and has begun to spread to the surrounding villages. Affected by the movement of the Red Army against the landlords, the development of the peasant associations Without the promotion of the Red Army, it ushered in a peak period, and some villagers in those affected villages went to these liberated villages to watch.

What they saw was that every household had grain in their rice jars, and each household was given their own land. There were no landlords and evil gentry to exploit them. Instead, the peasant association managed the village, built water conservancy, and irrigated the fertile fields. Quilt factories were set up in each village. They had the opportunity to work, quilt factories in several villages were established, and a large number of beautiful clothes were produced. The peasant association taught by Xia Yuan encouraged the villagers to buy clothes in the quilt factories, and then sold them in the county town. Villagers with extra money bought a batch of trousers from the quilt factory with the attitude of believing in the Red Army and choosing to give it a try, and then went to sell them in the county town, intending to make a profit, but unexpectedly sold them at a good price.

Those good-looking pants are not only popular in rural areas, but also popular in county towns.

It is under such influence that those villages that have not been liberated have responded to the peasant associations and actively participated in the peasant associations. There are no restrictions on joining the peasant associations. As long as they are farmers, whether poor or rich, they can join the peasant associations. Among them, the peasant association was further expanded.

Even when the peasant associations in some villages could not wait for the Red Army, they sought help from the peasant associations in other villages, and even got involved with a team of thousands of peasants to launch a liberation movement spontaneously organized by the peasant associations in each village. They held their hoes high And the sickle, rushed into the landlord's house, arrested the landlord who oppressed and exploited them on weekdays, and controlled the hooligans under the landlord's hands. Trials organized by the peasant association were carried out in various villages that had not yet been liberated.

The peasants judged the landlords themselves. According to the method of the Red Army, they were judged according to the quality of the landlord's behavior.

Even Xia Yuan was quite surprised when he learned of this. He did not expect that the aftermath of his drastic expansion of the land and the liberation of the village would be so terrifying. Ushering in a new climax, with the passage of time, the development of peasant associations has expanded to an incredible degree.

The Red Army participated in the liberation of more than 30 villages, and the number of villages expanded by the peasant association has reached more than 50, and it is still developing rapidly.

"What does this show? It shows that our Red Army is only playing a role in promoting it. When those villagers faced oppression from landlords, they only believed in the peasant association formed by the peasants themselves, but they did not believe in our Red Army."

Xia Yuan smiled and said that he didn't care about the coming encirclement at all. This is an ideological emancipation that is destined to happen. Even if the Red Army is gone, the thought has already taken root in this land, even if he doesn't need to Come out again, I believe that with this vigorous movement storm, the peasant association will be pushed to a height that even he himself can't predict in the Guizhou area.

And this height will become the basis for completing the task.

For him, it's just a matter of time.

The Red Army team has reached 100 people. With the development of peasant associations in various regions, more and more people joined the peasant associations, so more and more people joined the Red Army team. With the continuous expansion of the team, There are also more and more problems facing the Red Army, such as organizational problems, such as guns and ammunition.

It's just that I didn't expect that the people of the Bai army were so good at giving charcoal in a timely manner. It didn't take long before I heard the news that the Bai army was coming to encircle and suppress them.

"The problem of organization cannot be solved. A company of Red Army is just right in Nianping Village. If we expand the organization of the Red Army in time, then according to the news from the outside world, the Red Army on the ground is not a company, but a regiment. A battalion of enemies will not dare to come.”

With a smile on Xia Yuan's face, he didn't take this matter seriously. He said: "We must eat up all these enemies. Only by eating them can the Red Army base area usher in a higher development. Our Only then can the Red Army be replenished with guns and ammunition."

Li Qingming asked in surprise: "Company commander, are we going to eat this enemy?"

Xia Yuan stood up and said: "Eat, and eat all of them! Now we are still facing the problem of shortage of guns and ammunition. The weapons and equipment seized on Qishi Mountain some time ago were only equipped with half of the regiment, and half of them did not have their own weapons and equipment, they must be kept.”

He reached out and pressed on the hand-painted map, and said, "Go, hold a cadre meeting immediately to discuss this battle plan!"

"Yes!"

Li Qingming left quickly, and soon all the cadres in the Red Army gathered in the conference room. Since the Red Army still adopted the company platoon organization, the new organization had already been established, but the title had not changed, so there was a saying that it was the platoon leader. , In fact, there are 300 battalion-level personnel of the Red Army in his hands.

"It is very likely that the enemy already has information about our army, but it is obvious that the information the enemy has is not accurate. They dispatched two battalions this time, about 700 people, and they have gathered in the county seat. Maybe it will be dispatched today."

With an inexplicable smile on Xia Yuan's face, he said: "The strength of the two battalions wants to eat up our base area. I really can't think of anything other than the fact that the other side has incomplete information about us, so we can seize this opportunity." If the information is poor, the opponent will be caught off guard, or even completely wiped out!"

Yang Chengli stood up and said, "Company commander, how do we fight!"

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "How to fight, I have already thought about it, bring me the map."

Li Qingming spread out the map on the table, Xia Yuan stepped forward, and said: "It is about fifty or sixty miles from the county seat to Nianping Village, passing through Xixi Mountain, Sanpingdu, and Shiban Bridge. Our main force is in Shiban Bridge. Fortify Banqiao, tie the troops into a pocket, and then ambush another army between Sanpingdu and Shibanqiao. When the enemy completely enters the encirclement, this army will tie the pocket firmly like a rope Tight, don't let the enemy escape."

Li Qingming was worried, and said: "Commander, we don't have many guns and ammunition. Half of the soldiers don't have guns and ammunition, and the enemy has two battalions. Will it be difficult to eat the enemy?"

Xia Yuan comforted Li Qingming and said: "Difficulty is definitely difficult, but we have a strategy. We just need to use a small plan to disperse these two groups of enemies. We can concentrate our strength and destroy one of them, and the other will not be enough. fear."

Li Qingming asked: "Company commander, do you have a plan?"

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "This is inevitable. The enemy dispatched two battalions to attack us, so why can't we attack them? You must know that it is the time of the Central Plains War and the county is empty. With all the troops, how many defenders can they have in the county, our purpose is not to attack the enemy's county, I still don't look down on the county, our goal is to eat up this group of enemies."

He also said: "The enemy's specific strength of our army is not yet clear. What is known so far is likely to be one company, two battalions fighting one company. It is not very easy. We only need to harass the county. The enemy basically You will understand our intentions. It is nothing more than that we are not their opponents, so we want to make the opponent give up the offensive base and turn around to defend the county by making the decision to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, they will neither give up the offensive base nor send troops back. For defense, how many troops can one company transfer to attack the county, one platoon? If one platoon is transferred, how many troops are left in the base area.”

He had an inexplicable smile on his face: "It's a great achievement to wipe out the Red Army. How can the enemy let go of this opportunity to get promoted and get rich? I deduce that these two groups of enemies will definitely separate!"

Li Qingming observed the map and pondered Xia Yuan's plan. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt his eyes light up and was shocked by this wonderful plan.

What Xia Yuan was fighting was a lack of information. The other party believed that there was only one company of the Red Army in the base area, so the team that sent troops to attack the county would inevitably disperse the strength of the Red Army in the base area. The enemy happened to be two battalions, so it was entirely possible to take care of both ends. The battalion turned back to support the county seat, and the other battalion continued to advance towards the base area.

As everyone knows, the strength of a regiment opened its huge pockets, just waiting for the enemy's battalion to take the bait.

He pointed to the map: "A long row!"

Yang Chenglin got up immediately: "Dao!"

Xia Yuan said: "Lead a row of you to ambush between Sanpingdu and Shibanqiao. If the enemy enters the pocket, tie the pocket tightly for me. The enemy retreats, let me stop it."

Yang Chengli shouted: "Yes! Please don't worry, the company commander. I will definitely tie my pockets tightly and never let any enemy go!"

"The detailed combat plan is as follows."

As the season of late rice planting approached, the base of Nianping Village suffered the only current crisis, but this time the crisis was not serious. The development of the Red Army team was very rapid, which had exceeded the enemy's expectations.

County Chief Shen and Battalion Commander Han led two troops towards Nianping Village early in the morning. A group of people outside lined up to enter the city. Two villagers stared at their backs until they disappeared.

The militiamen from various villages along the way quickly dispatched to observe the only way that County Mayor Shen and Battalion Commander Han must pass. When they saw the opposing team approaching, they turned around and burrowed into the dense forest, and took a shortcut to report the whereabouts of this team. .

Since he is already the head of the Red Army, he only needs to sit in the rear, wait and see what happens, and command the audience.

Teams from all walks of life have already set off. After the last meeting, the first platoon has become the first battalion. Last night, they have deployed defenses at Sanpingdu and the favorable terrain on both sides of the stone bridge. The second and third battalions are deep in the stone bridge. With a big mouth open, the fourth battalion and the first company have already headed to the county as a harassment force, and the second and third companies are serving as reserves.

Xia Yuan stood in front of the map and waited quietly. The correspondents would report the enemy's position every 10 minutes. Since they lacked effective means of communication, the only way was to use the militia groups in each village to deliver the reports. The news was passed on from one village to the next, more often every few minutes, and the enemy's movements were firmly in Xia Yuan's hands.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the news that the enemy had arrived at Xixi Mountain reached Xia Yuan's ears. He immediately issued an order: "Order the fourth battalion and one company. After arriving at the position, take a rest and immediately launch a feint attack on the enemy's county."

"Yes!"

The correspondent hurried away.

plan, start to implement.
