march to victory

When Niulanba was captured, Lao Jiang still couldn't figure out whether the main force of the Red Second and Sixth Army was going to Guizhou or Sichuan.However, it was precisely because of Zhao Shanhe's telegram that Lao Jiang immediately determined the position of the main force of the Red Army.

Lao Jiang also knew what kind of people these local warlords under his command were, but at this time there was no extra troops in Huangxian County. The promise of these two regiments: as long as they block the main force of the Red Army for three days, regardless of success or failure after three days, the heads of these two regiments will be promoted to division commanders immediately, and all losses will be made up first, and the organization will be immediately upgraded to the division level of the Central Army... In order to encourage Morale, in addition to making an official wish, he also made a special note in detail: kill a Red Army soldier, and reward ten oceans.If you kill a squad leader of the Red Army, you will be rewarded with 50 yuan; money smashed.

Needless to say, this trick is really useful sometimes. For example, it is a huge stimulus to both soldiers and officers, especially for the head of the security regiment. The generation of bandits, after being recruited, became the head of the security regiment. Now when they heard that they had the opportunity to become the division commander of the Central Army, they were as excited as if they had been beaten, and they desperately asked their subordinates to resist the attack of the Red Army.

The reason why the Red Army chose to go to Guizhou was actually related to the Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie: when the Central Red Army passed through Guizhou at the end of last year, Wang Jialie chose to protect himself, but Lao Jiang adopted the strategy of "driving wolves and fighting tigers". The army pursued the main force of the Central Red Army, but in fact it used the Central Red Army to give him an excuse to enter Guizhou. In the end, Wang Jialie was forced to step down by Chiang Kai-shek.

After Wang Jialie stepped down, the Guizhou warlords had no leader, but they had been fighting fiercely with the Central Army or the people sent by Lao Jiang. In view of this, the Red Second and Sixth Army wanted to take advantage of the chaos and transit through Guizhou.But they never expected that shortly after entering Guizhou, they encountered such a thing... Only then did they know that the regular regiment of the enemy army defending the front was definitely the main force of Lao Jiang. The reason why they were stationed at the border of Guizhou Province , the defense against the Red Army is secondary, it is mainly used as one of the pawns to deter the Guizhou warlords, but unexpectedly, the crooked attack did not fight the Guizhou warlords, but the Red Army ran into it.

The prisoner also confessed the second important information, which was also the root cause of everyone's face change: Lao Jiang encouraged the two regiments, saying that he was mobilizing troops from all directions.In order to convince the two regiment leaders, he listed the numbers of the troops to be dispatched... Although he does not know whether it is true or not, there are two things for sure: First, Lao Jiang wanted to destroy the Second and Sixth Red Army in his dreams, so , no matter how many troops he has on his list for deployment, he will definitely do his best to dispatch troops as quickly as possible; second, no matter what happens in the future, the enemies of the two regiments in front of him must be eliminated, that is, they must be eliminated. Only by breaking through the enemy's block can he easily jump out of the encirclement that Lao Jiang is about to set up.

The Red Seventeenth Division's previous two attacks were unsuccessful: the first time was because they underestimated the enemy, or the 49th regiment was a little impatient, and attacked ahead of time before the two flanking regiments were deployed, and suffered a loss; the second time It was a real attack, but the enemy resisted tenaciously and had sufficient firepower, so it ended in failure.

And it was the failure of these two offensives that made General Xiao Ke angry. He directly called Wu Zhengqing, the commander of the 49th Division, who was the vanguard of the main force of the Red Army, and said, "If you Wu Zhengqing can't do it, just say it, and I will replace it." You fight this battle!" It is said that the ashamed Wu Zhengqing immediately issued a military order, and then Wu Zhengqing went directly to the front line to command the battle, and at the same time sent these words to Liu Yongjiang, the head of the [-]th regiment...

Time waits for no one. In order to allow the exhausted team to get more rest time as soon as possible, the headquarters proceeded from the overall situation and ordered the rear team of the Second Red Army to change to the front team, and immediately detoured to the enemy's rear, preparing for front and rear pincer attacks, or strategically The two regiments were forced to run on their own... This is why when Zhang Qingshan came back on horseback, he saw many soldiers turning around and rushing on the road on the right.

"Sister Lian, save these things and eat slowly, I'll go first... Hey!"

When Zhang Qingshan heard that the fight was so fierce, his mind was already out of here, and he wished he could grow his wings and fly over immediately.Backed away while talking, just turned around to leave, but bumped into a girl, and after seeing clearly that it was Xiang Xueqin, he was really happy and surprised, and couldn't help but hey.

The little tiger has tiger spirit, obviously she sneaked over from Zhang Qingshan's back, trying to scare Zhang Qingshan, but after the collision, she immediately glared at Zhang Qingshan: "You are so sloppy, what are you doing?"

"There is a war ahead, I have to rush there immediately... Xueqin, you must take care!"

"I know, you have to be careful, don't be reckless."

"it is good!"

Afterwards, Zhang Qingshan assembled the soldiers, and when everyone heard that a big battle was going on ahead, they immediately screamed excitedly.But what is regrettable is that even though they ran all the way, sticking out their tongues tiredly, they still missed this battle: Liu Yongjiang issued a military order to Wu Zhengqing, and Wu Zhengqing issued a military order to Xiao Ke.In order to defeat the enemy in this third attack, both of them tried their best.However, when the enemy heard that a large number of Red Army troops were making a detour to attack their rear, they immediately panicked.It just so happened that Wu Zhengqing had just finished deploying, and keenly sensed that the enemy was really panicked, so he immediately launched a general offensive. As expected, he won the battle, and the enemy killed at the smallest cost was defeated.

When Zhang Qingshan and others came to the battlefield, the county town of Huang County had already become an empty city without soldiers to defend.

Although Zhang Qingshan regretted not participating in this battle, because of his performance and great contribution at the Wujiabao checkpoint, his superiors still promoted Zhang Qingshan to be the squad leader of the third squad of the assault company—the former squad leader became the deputy. platoon leader.Zhang Qingshan didn't care about this, on the contrary, the deputy platoon leader kept comforting Zhang Qingshan, "Company commander, I'm really sorry! I wronged you..." Zhang Qingshan rolled his eyes for a while.

The original plan was to rest in Huang County for a few days to relieve the fatigue of the long-distance march. However, Lao Jiang was pressing hard. In order to jump out before his encirclement was closed, the troops set off immediately without stopping.

After passing through Yangchang, Gouchang and Longxikou, it arrived in Wanxian County in early 1936.Although they were still in Guizhou, they successfully jumped out of Lao Jiang's previous encirclement, which made the atmosphere of the whole team much happier, and many people's faces were no longer tense. The chat content between each other was not only much easier, but also Start talking about cheerful topics such as what happened after the victory of the Long March... You know, some time ago, everyone was holding their breath and rushing on their way. Apart from encouraging each other, they rarely said anything else. It can be seen that the situation at that time was different. How dangerous.

As the vanguard company of the Long March, the Assault Company has now completely gained its reputation. Even the enemy knows that there is such a company in the Red Army that is capable of fighting and fighting, and they will spare no effort to advance.And Hu Yingze put forward a very inspiring slogan "Assault Company - Go Forward!", which made people excited.

If the entire Red Second and Sixth Army Corps are described as a sharp knife, then the assault company is the top of the sharp knife, although it is small, it is extremely sharp.

Today, Zhang Qingshan is already the platoon leader of the assault company, and Wang Wu, the former platoon leader, has become the deputy company commander just like Peng Peng.However, anyone can see that the position of company commander that Hu Yingze holds concurrently is almost reserved for Zhang Qingshan. As long as he makes great achievements here, it is estimated that he will be sure.Therefore, now the soldiers called Zhang Qingshan the company commander again. Although Zhang Qingshan did not respond directly, he did not criticize the other party for calling the wrong position as he did in the past.

"Old Zhang, based on your experience, who do you think they are? What are they doing?"

As a pioneer, the assault company took the first step and went to Wanxian County to conduct investigations at noon. Wearing plain clothes, they sneaked along the trail to hide in the woods outside the west gate of Wanxian County, observing the situation at the gate of the city two to 300 meters away... ...Hu Yingze went to the division headquarters meeting yesterday and has not yet returned: the main question is whether the troops need to rest after arriving in Wanxian County, and if so, how many days is the most appropriate time to rest. This requires the frontline commanders who are the pioneers to provide information as a reference. Of course, It is also necessary to listen to the opinion of his pioneer.

A large number of people crowded the gate of the city, not only there were wealthy households at first glance, but also ordinary people wearing patched clothes.They want to go out of the city, but the checkpoint at the gate of the city does not allow them.Look at these checkpoint guards and patrolling people on the towers. They are said to be soldiers, but only a few of them are wearing crooked local military uniforms, and most of them are casual clothes; How could there be more than a dozen guns?What is even more puzzling is that most of these guards are holding knives and spears; it is not right to say that they are guerrillas, because they are collecting money.Although I couldn't hear what they said, it was clear that everyone who wanted to leave the city, regardless of gender, ordinary people or rich people, had to pay these people.Moreover, through the binoculars, Zhang Qingshan saw with his own eyes a mother and daughter who wanted to go out of the city, and there was no money to pay, so two sleazy people stepped forward to touch the girl.Molesting women in broad daylight, and even laughing wildly, when did the guerrillas do this?This is a serious crime of beheading.

So, who are these defenders?

Another point is that because the Central Red Army passed by here at the end of last year and promoted the Red Army policy for a while, the local people knew about the Red Army and supported the Red Army.Just like in other counties, when the people heard that the Red Army was coming, they all warmly welcomed them, so why would they run away?Besides, it is reasonable for some rich and unkind big households to flee, but why do the common people also flee?Moreover, they are fleeing in large numbers, which shouldn't be the case!

Zhang Qingshan shook his head, pondered for a while, and said to Peng Peng: "Old Peng, you and your comrades are guarding here. Lao Wu, Baoyu, you two come down with me to find someone to inquire..." As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan suddenly had an inexplicable anger in his heart, and said angrily: "Damn, I want to see who these guys are. They dare to publicly insult women in broad daylight. If they don't kill them, they will die." It's fucking unreasonable."

It's okay if you don't inquire, once you inquire, not to mention Zhang Qingshan, even ordinary people will be furious and extremely sad and indignant, not to mention that the soldiers of the assault company are all thorns, and they are not afraid of trouble.So, today is destined to see blood...
