The heavens start from Changjin Lake

On the other side, the county magistrate Shen, who had returned to the county seat, finally let go. He sat at the table and drank cold water to keep himself calm enough. After drinking a glass of water, he slapped his hand on the table angrily, and cursed:
"Grandma's! What's the matter!"

A company commander under him suddenly rushed in, "County magistrate, it's not good, something happened!"

County Magistrate Shen said: "What's wrong!?"

The company commander hastily said: "It's an accident at the ammunition depot!"

County Magistrate Shen thumped in his heart, and asked, "What happened!"

The company commander was sweating on his forehead, and said: "County magistrate, the warehouse has been emptied, and there is a note left behind!"

County Magistrate Shen stood up in shock, trembling all over, and his voice became trembling: "It was, it was evacuated, are you sure? That's right, the entire warehouse has been emptied of weapons and ammunition?"

The company commander nodded: "Yes, I took someone to look at the warehouse after I came back, but the guards outside the warehouse were beaten unconscious and tied to a tree. A piece of paper with something written on it."

"Where is the paper?" County Magistrate Shen's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly asked. The company commander hurriedly handed the paper to County Magistrate Shen. past.

The content on the paper reads impressively: Thank you County Magistrate Shen for supporting the weapons and equipment of a regiment of our Red Army and making great contributions to the growth of our Red Army. , to express my gratitude, and I will definitely come back in the future to give the county magistrate Shen a reward.

"It's over, it's over."

Before he fell into a coma, county magistrate Shen was full of thoughts of doom. He couldn't wash himself away if he really jumped into the Yellow River. The national army would definitely regard this as evidence of his liaison with the Communist bandits, unless he died .

"The head of the regiment is mighty, the head of the regiment who played the county master!"

"Regimental Commander, we can go rescue the Red Army comrades in Xihankou."

A happy shout came from a forest.

Xia Yuan stood on the carriage and said with a smile: "This county magistrate Shen is rich and powerful, and there is a bunch of weapons and equipment in a warehouse. Isn't that eye-catching? We don't want to take a bite of such a sweet pastry." You have to regret it, no, without a single soldier, you got the weapons and equipment of this regiment."

Li Qingming said happily: "Captain, how did you manage to let us in without hindrance? The subordinates of the county magistrate nodded and bowed when they saw it, so they knelt down and called us grandpa."

Yang Chenglin also said happily: "No, I never thought that one day they would open the city gate and let us in."

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "It's simple. In their subconscious mind, the Red Army is just a group of guys who are similar to bandits. They are very poor in food and clothing, but look at our Red Army. The uniform uniform makes us look It’s like a regular army, plus it’s dark, the enemy will misjudge us as a white army in no time, just need a little guidance, the enemy will let us in obediently.”

The plan for tonight is to outsmart the ammunition depot in the county town and get the weapons and equipment of this regiment without a single soldier.

After the battle, Xia Yuan had been thinking about how to rescue the Red Army in Xihankou. Rescuing the Red Army in Xihankou required the strength to fight against the White Army in Xihankou. Their strength as a regiment might not be inferior to the enemy if they fought against the enemy. But the key point is that their weapons and equipment are relatively backward.

Just as he was frowning, the prisoners captured over there were soldiers of the county magistrate, and from those soldiers, he learned that the magistrate Shen had stored a bunch of weapons in a warehouse near the north gate of the county town. Equipment, and with this regiment of weapons and equipment, the current shortage of weapons that the Red Army is facing can be solved, so a plan for planning an ammunition depot in the county came to Xia Yuan's mind.

The first step is to lure the county magistrate out of the city, and the second step is to let the red army disguise as the white army and take away the weapons and equipment from the ammunition depot. Contrary to Xia Yuan's imagination, when they were transporting weapons and ammunition out of the city, the defenders at the gate would actually help them.

In fact, the excuse Xia Yuan asked them to use was very clumsy, that is, Battalion Commander Han’s battalion was wiped out by the Communist bandits in Sanpingdu. When the county was empty of troops, the Communist bandits would definitely not miss this opportunity. , The weapons and equipment of a regiment in the county were transported away under the moonlight to prevent the Communists from capturing the county, and the weapons and equipment of a regiment were left behind to strengthen the Communists. It was such a poor excuse that the enemy deeply believed.

Leading County Magistrate Shen out of the south gate, they entered through the north gate. Led by a prisoner, they quickly arrived at the warehouse, dealt with the guards of the warehouse, and quickly loaded the weapons and ammunition of the entire warehouse into the carriage in the shortest possible time. shipped away.

The purpose of leaving that letter was also intentional. If Magistrate Shen is fine in the future, then the weapons and ammunition in this warehouse will become an extremely deadly handle for Magistrate Shen. In comparison, there is such a person who can control The county magistrate is very beneficial to the Red Army.

Not all the weapons and ammunition were transported back to Nianping Village.

After the four battalions met outside the city, Xia Yuan immediately assigned a battle plan: "The first, second, and third battalions carry enough weapons and ammunition to set off immediately under the moonlight, and the fourth battalion carries the remaining weapons and ammunition to follow behind the three battalions as a reserve." Team, move faster, strive to reach the bamboo forest on the other side of Xihankou at noon, and eat the enemies in the bamboo forest!"

"Yes!"

The location north of West Hankou is a bamboo forest. According to Battalion Commander Han, they stationed a company of troops in the bamboo forest. The West Hankou side is bordered by the river. The river is so fast that it is difficult to cross the river without a large raft. The bamboo forest is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only one company of troops is needed to firmly grasp this line of defense.

Commander Sun's subordinates stationed in the two directions to the northwest have three battalions of troops. With the loss of Commander Han's third battalion, Commander Sun's troops are already empty. Coupled with the long-term encirclement and suppression of the Communist bandits, the soldiers in the regiment Sun have the will to fight. It has dropped greatly, and the enthusiasm for encircling and suppressing the Communist bandits has also dropped a lot. The internal soldiers are a little negative, and they are more thinking about how to spend money and spend money.

In the bamboo garden to the north of West Hankou, there are rows of wooden houses made of bamboo, and various clothes are hung on the bamboo. A group of thin soldiers are swimming among the bamboo forests. These are soldiers from the first battalion and third company of the Sun Tuan. During the past few months stationed in Zhuyuan, it was not only a test of will for the Red Army, but also a test of their will.

You must know that during the Central Plains War, all kinds of supplies were given priority to the front line, and the lives of these soldiers in the rear were naturally tight. In addition, the Red Army in the mountains came out to harass them from time to time, how could they have a good life.

They gathered around the bonfire and complained about Cao Dan's life all day long, but they didn't know that three battalions of the Red Army were quietly approaching behind them.

Near noon, the first battalion, the first company and the second company, a sharp knife company, and an honor company took the lead in attacking the defenders in the bamboo forest. Many people did not react. Only one row of enemies on the defense line resisted stubbornly, but with the cooperation of the two companies, they quickly retreated and came out of the trench holding their guns high.

The entire fighting process lasted only ten minutes.

At this time, in the forest of West Hankou Mountains, a skinny Red Army soldier in ragged clothes emerged from the dense grass. It has turned into strips of cloth, sticking wetly to his body, his body is covered with dirty soil, and he is holding an old weapon in his hand. He is staring at the bamboo forest on the other side of the river in the distance. Long-term malnutrition has made him When he stood up, he almost fell to the ground, and he stood in front of him with the gun in his hand propped up on the ground.

After gathering his mind, he quickly ran towards the cave located in a ravine. There were several Red Army soldiers like him near the cave.

"Who!"

"I, Er Muzi."

Three ragged warriors emerged from the hidden bushes, and one of them, a thin warrior, asked, "Er Muzi, why are you back?"

Er Muzi hurriedly asked, "Where's the political commissar?"

The thin warrior pointed to the cave in the ravine: "It's inside."

Er Muzi turned his head and left: "I'm going to find the political commissar, there's a gunshot from the bamboo forest, I have to tell the political commissar about it."

The three soldiers scratched their heads and continued to hide.

At the entrance of the cave, two dirty lesbians were taking care of the wounded comrades of the Red Army. The rotting wound gave off an unpleasant smell. Walking inside, more than a dozen Red Army soldiers were sitting on the ground covered with straw with their guns in their hands. , the inside of the cave is dark and damp, only a group of torches exudes a faint flame, a man wearing glasses and bearded tea is sitting on the ground, flipping through books, and two soldiers are waiting anxiously beside them. There are several small bowls in front of me, and there are green juices in the small bowls.

After Er Muzi arrived, he said, "Political Commissar, there was a gunshot from the bamboo forest. Do you think it's Brother Lei and the others who have already crossed the river?"

The political commissar put down the book in his hand and asked, "There was a gunshot from the bamboo forest. How long did it last?"

The second fool thought for a while and said, "It lasted about ten minutes."

The political commissar thought: "Wang Lei and the others started crossing the river last night. It is reasonable to say that they would not launch an attack on the enemy during the day like this. The situation during the day is very unfavorable to them. They should wait until night to try to break through. Wang Lei is also an old comrade and will not make mistakes. Such a mistake."

But he felt that something was wrong: "We have been surrounded in the mountains for four or five months. If Wang Lei hadn't launched an attack on the white army in the bamboo forest, I really can't think of anyone else who can attack the white army in the bamboo forest." Attack."

After a pause, he said: "Go and observe again, and see the situation on the opposite position."

The second fool said seriously: "Yes!"

In the observation pit, he continued to observe the situation on the other side of the river.

In the cave, the political commissar called everyone to have a brief meeting. He said: "Wang Lei may have successfully crossed the river. Whether he can escape the blockade of the White Army depends on him. We must persevere, comrades, persevere." , The more difficult the moment, the more it will test us! If Wang Lei can successfully break through, then our red fire will survive, even if we die, but the fire will remain, even if it is just a spark, but I I believe that this small fire will eventually burn more and more vigorously."

He continued: "The only good news right now is that the White Army has blocked us and did not enter the mountains to encircle us. This gave us a chance to breathe. Let's rest and search for edible wild vegetables nearby."

At this time, Xia Yuan had already led the team to occupy the bamboo forest, but Xia Yuan did not let the Red Army rescue the Red Army on the other side of the river in the bamboo forest. You must know that there are two whole regiments of enemies in their two directions. If you really want to choose head-on, is it right? A very unwise choice will only increase casualties.

Therefore, Xia Yuan chose to divert the tiger away from the mountain. When attacking the bamboo forest, the real main force moved towards the south. Once the enemy found out that the bamboo forest on the north side was attacked, they would definitely send troops to support them. At this time, the south became their care. In addition, the south is bordered by Xihankou. It only needs to capture the south to open the road to Xihankou and rescue the besieged Red Army.

The first battalion commander Yang Chenglin and the soldiers of the first battalion quickly searched for favorable terrain and built fortifications after attacking the bamboo forest. Their purpose was to stop the enemy army. They only needed to restrain the enemy army to complete their mission. It was completed, and behind the first battalion there were four battalions serving as a reserve team, ready to support the first battalion at any time, while the second and third battalions pierced towards the south. They only carried weapons and ammunition, and traveled lightly. south side.

As the evening approached, the second battalion and the third battalion successfully crossed to the south side with light clothes, forming a siege to the enemy on the south side. On the south side, there was another regiment and a battalion of defenders stationed in a town. The Red Army and The White Army was fighting, and the people here had already run away, leaving only one battalion of the White Army. Xia Yuan demanded a quick battle, interspersed quickly, and used two battalions to fight together to tear apart the enemy's direction.

At this moment in the bamboo forest, the battle has already begun. The battalion that Sun Tuan came to support and the other battalion that came to support the white army surrounded the bamboo forest. Yang Chenglin knew that they wanted to hold the enemy back and fight for the commander In time, the soldiers are ordered to occupy favorable terrain to block the enemy, and they must hold their positions to the death.

The two sides fell into a bitter battle, both lacking lethal weapons. Relying on the favorable terrain, the Red Army had the upper hand, and there were four battalions in the rear as a reserve team, carrying a regiment's weapons and equipment to support the first battalion, and there were even several battalions. Mortars were pulled onto the battlefield.
