These officers who usually have their nostrils facing the sky all think like this: It is impossible for the Red Army to have three heads and six arms, and it cannot fly over walls, so why should our first division in the world be afraid of them? Besides, now we don't take the initiative to provoke them, not to attack them, but to defend away from them, just to contain some soldiers who have broken down, afraid of Mao? When the containment troops are almost over, Lao Tzu pats his ass and leaves, and retreats back to Chong-Qing, what can you do to me?

And they knew that if the goal was achieved, not only would the strength of the First Division be great, but also those bastards of the Tax Police Corps would no longer laugh at us too much, they would only laugh at Xue Yue's Corps, or laugh at Chen Cheng, and laugh at Chen Cheng, who hid in Guiyang City and did not dare to come out, for his cowardice and incompetence.

How can the prestige of the first division in the world be trampled on at will?

Seeing the applause of all the officers, Hu Zongnan, who felt that his morale was available, waved his hand: "Advance in battle formation!" Then, he explained to his subordinates, "......, we will rush to Wenjiadian Town before noon tomorrow, and we will not advance with Wenjiadian Town as the boundary, where we will build fortifications on the spot, and send reconnaissance troops to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and pick up the scattered Central Army." Wait for two days, and then the brothers will quickly retreat after resting. ”

After he thought that the Red Army had won the battle, its goal would definitely be Zunyi and Guiyang, and not only did the Red Army itself propagate this, but it was also very much in line with their eagerness to establish a base area. It is impossible for them to run to a place like Wenjiadian Town that is completely opposite to the direction of the target. His powerful first division in the world does not provoke the Red Army, and if it is far away from the Red Army, there will certainly be nothing wrong, and the Red Army should secretly rejoice.

That's the case. I, Hu Zongnan, can let my officers and soldiers scavenge for some oil and water. And it shows my boldness. It can also allow officers and men to rest and recuperate, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

He didn't know that his unit had already been taken by Guo Zhuocheng and had been regarded as a dish in his pot. Moreover, against him, the first division in the world, was the second division directly under the column.

The first integrated division of the Central Army will be better than the second division of the directly subordinate column.

However, at this time, Hu Zongnan not only didn't know who the opponent was, but also didn't know if there was an opponent here. In a daze, he had no idea that such a seemingly safe order he had given ended up burying the troops alive.

If Hu Zongnan had turned around and fled as soon as he received Jiang Jieshi's order, although they could not have completely retreated back to Chongqing, because Chongqing had already been taken preceded by the First Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, led by Chen Peng, had already staggered past them and rushed to Chongqing one step ahead of them. However, his troops could still retreat to other places, such as Hu-Bei, such as Hu-Nan, and even follow the path of the marching column directly under him, so that they could reach Heng-Yang to Jiang-Xi and temporarily get out of the bitter sea.

……

Wenjiadian Town is a town next to the Wujiang River, because the Wujiang River shipping has driven the economy here, the people in this area are relatively wealthy, and the population in the town is mainly commercial traders and shipwrights, constantly bringing in materials from outside, and constantly bringing out the products here.

It is because it is rich here. That's why Hu Zongnan used this place as a camping place, in his mind, if there was really no reception for the officers and soldiers who had dispersed. Let's get some oil and water here, let the officers and soldiers eat and have fun, dispel the grievances in their hearts, and then the squad will return to Chongqing. As for what will happen to the people here, whether there are people who have been ruined because of their arrival, Hu Zongnan will not consider it.

……

According to the reconnaissance of the special combat personnel and the monitoring of the radio station by the intelligence personnel, Guo Zhuocheng fully grasped the whereabouts of Hu Zong's southern unit, and he would not allow this unit to harm the common people here.

At the end of the battle of Wuyang River, he and Mao Runtan took Wang Guangdao and others to Wenjiadian Town on horseback, and after the guards were released in all directions, he and these commanders climbed to the top of the mountain in the south of the town, and began to check the terrain and deploy the battle by taking advantage of the sunset that had not completely disappeared.

Obviously, Mao Runtan and Wang Guangdao are more familiar with this kind of deployment and more expert than Guo Zhuocheng.

Wang Guangdao looked at the terrain and said: "Commander Guo, this is not the best ambush site, the best ambush site is the Yellow Beach near Wenjiadian Town, where the ground is wide, and it must be the first choice for Hu Zong's southern team." ”

Mao Runtan shook his head and said, "We don't need to be so careful. They are so well equipped, and we are a victorious division, they are frightened birds, as long as they form a posture of encirclement, as soon as the artillery fire continues, they will have to collapse. If they are allowed to get close to Wenjiadian Town, the artillery fire is likely to fall in the town, causing casualties among the common people and causing huge losses to the town. We would rather make it a little more difficult for ourselves and separate the common people from the flames of war. ”

Guo Zhuocheng nodded in agreement: "Not only to protect the property and life safety of the people, but also to let us fight with the enemy more closely. Whether it was against Song Xilian's troops or Xue Yue's troops, we smashed their confidence and destroyed their morale with fierce artillery fire, and when we attacked Tao Guang and Zhou Xieqing outside Hengyang City, we were completely taken by surprise, and the enemy's combat effectiveness had not yet been brought into full play.

This time, I think we will have a fair competition with them to see who has the upper will to fight and the fighting will of the 1st Division of the Central Army. In the future, we will have to fight the Japanese army, and we may not have artillery support every time, and different terrain will determine different weapons. When there is no artillery, we must rely on our will to fight and our tenacious fighting style to win, and we must not let the Japanese devils succeed because they are not in place because they are not in place. This time I decided not to use heavy artillery, and at the same time asked the troops not to let an enemy rush into the town of Wenjiadian, so that not a single enemy shell could hit the town. Do you think it can be done? ”

Mao Runtan and Wang Guangdao glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

"Okay, let's draw up a battle plan based on this." Guo Zhuocheng waved his hand and took the lead down the mountain.

The guards had already set up a house in Wenjiadian Town and set up a headquarters in a wooden shop. As soon as they arrived at the headquarters, Guo Zhuocheng, Mao Runtan, Wang Guangdao, and others began to study the detailed battle plan, and the staff officers were busy drawing on the map.

In the eyes of these staff officers, the chosen battlefield was really not good, and although the enemy was also encircled, the enemy could break through from all directions, and every place could become a breakthrough point for the enemy. In this way, the staff officers had to anticipate more places, how to block them, and how to mobilize reserves in the event of an enemy breakthrough.

The maps they used were all transported by Guo Zhuocheng from that time and space in 1992, and after careful discussion by experts there, they were both very accurate and showed that roads and buildings might have appeared later. While there are inevitably some trail signs that may be wrong, the entire map is definitely the best map of this era.

So much so that the staff officers were a little afraid to put pen to paper after looking at such a detailed and accurate map, feeling that they would damage this good thing if they drew it.

A staff officer pointed to the map and whispered: "You see, if you choose the Yellow Beach, it is better to choose the Wujiang River in the east and the mountains in the west, and we can seal the west as long as we put a small number of troops on the west mountain." When the battle began, the enemy either rushed forward desperately or retreated in a hurry. If their commander gets angry, they will at most flank the hill to the west. Or how cool it is that we will block off their way forward and their way out, force them to rush up the hillside, force them to hit the muzzle of our guns. Moreover, the mountains are densely wooded and bamboo, which is able to hide thousands of troops. We can also give the enemy the illusion that they will be able to break through with a little more force, and if they keep adding troops and fuel, they will continue to fight until they are desperate......"

Obviously, many staff officers had this idea, and Wang Guangdao had no choice but to explain Guo Zhuocheng's intentions.

After listening to Division Commander Wang Guangdao's explanation, the staff officers had no opinion for a while, and they felt that it was more enjoyable to fight like this. It was the artillery who enjoyed destroying the enemy completely by artillery fire, but the infantry was very depressed, feeling that they were holding burning sticks in their hands, which was useless.

There was even a regiment commander who asked Mao Runtan whether he had sealed some infantry guns, mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and grenades during this battle, but was criticized by Mao Runtan and said: "The reason why we don't let heavy artillery participate in the battle is not to deliberately show our strength, this is not a street trick, nor is it a show in the ring, but to verify that when we can't carry heavy artillery, such as long-distance running, such as forcibly marching to chase the enemy and intercept the enemy, our heavy artillery can't keep up with the team at all." , in such a situation that is not in our favor, do we fight or not, or do we wait until the heavy artillery comes up?

However, our 92 infantry gun can be completely disassembled and carried on the body, it weighs only 210 kilograms, divided into eight people's backs, each person is only more than 50 pounds, and it can't be carried? As for heavy machine guns or something, not to mention. As long as we work hard, we can fully keep up with the march, which means that we must use the weapons that can be used in every battle. Now that our grenades are of good quality, do we want to show our ability to use the grenades that exploded in two in the past? That is irresponsible for the lives of the fighters. Only by making good use of the weapons in our hands can we better protect the soldiers. Got it? ”

When the regiment commander heard this, he immediately understood and said, "I know! We will now use the 1st Division of the Central Army as a whetstone to sharpen our knives. Whatever weapons you have, you can fight whatever you want, and you have to win them, and you have to sacrifice fewer soldiers. ”
