Now, if the Red Army is defeated and collapsed, then even if the remaining Red Army is driven out of Jianghua County, it will lose its value. Without strength, they may not be able to leave Jianghua County and will be killed by the Gui army, what reason does the central army have to chase after them?

Therefore, they must not only beat the Red Army here to the ground and beat them to fear, but they must not beat them to death or defeat, but must maintain a strength that is enough for the Gui Army to eat.

So now that the Red Army has fled, they are a little depressed and a little pity, and they don't have too many ideas, but they withdraw the troops who are still climbing the mountain and take the main road towards Jianghua County to kill.

"Come on, brothers! As long as we rush to Jianghua County in advance, we can spend the night in the county tonight, and we don't have to suffer in the wild! Deputy Commander Wang Dongyuan rode on a horse and personally acted as a propagandist, shouting loudly, "As long as Jianghua County is taken before twelve o'clock tonight, the division headquarters will give the brothers a holiday and let you move freely for three days!" ”

When they heard that they would be able to move freely for three days, the officers and men of the unit immediately had in their minds the scenes of robbing rich households, treasures, and women. As if the attack on Jianziling just now really achieved a big victory, he did not pay any attention to the Red Army in front.

Some people also cooperated with the deputy commander and shouted: "Kill all the communists and bandits!" ”

"Destroy the Red Army!"

……

Neither the 96th Division nor the 15th Division can be regarded as a central-military lineage. The 96th Division belonged to the Jiangxi Army before returning to Jiang Jiaoshi, while the 15th Division belonged to the Hunan Army. After fighting for so long, the losses of these two divisions were not small, nominally each division had three regiments, but in reality there were only a little more than two regiments. The sum of these two divisions is more than four regiments, which is equivalent to a division of the Central Army.

It stands to reason that Guo Zhuocheng's special task force can wipe out one of the main divisions of the Gui Army in the Matouling area, whether it is Zhou Hunyuan, the backstage of Xiao Zhiping, or Jiang Jieshi, the leader of the Central Army, or Xiao Zhiping and Wang Dongyuan, they should be vigilant, and they should not be so careless.

However, since becoming the Central Army, since receiving a large number of weapons from Jiang Jiaoshi, since the Red Army failed in the fifth anti-military encirclement and suppression, especially since the main force of the Red Army was almost wiped out in the Xiangjiang Campaign, the 96th and 15th Divisions, both officers and soldiers, have been proud to follow the other Central Army, and they no longer have any fear of the Red Army, which they were afraid of before, they only have the fate of failure.

Moreover, although the 44th Division of the Gui Army was the main division, their combat effectiveness was not only not comparable to that of the Central Army, but also much inferior to their own Iron Seventh Army.

In addition, the Gui Army felt very embarrassed in the face of the defeat of its 44th Division, so naturally it would not go around publicizing it, but only saying that the Red Army was cunning and took advantage of the terrain and its own surprise to win, or ridiculed these Red Army for their lack of victory, claiming that if they fought face to face, this Red Army would definitely not be the opponent of the Gui Army.

If it is not the opponent of the Gui Army, it is naturally not the opponent of the Central Army.

When the two divisions of the Central Army followed behind the security detachment and killed violently, Guo Zhuocheng, who was commanding in Jianghua County, said to Wang Guangdao and Zhang Pingkai with a smile: "Lao Wang, Lao Zhang, the enemy has taken the initiative to send it to the door, let's go out to greet it?" ”

Zhang Pingkai also smiled and said: "We should welcome us, this battle is a key battle to reverse the shape of our special combat formation, and it is really a great gift for the central army of their two divisions to give us the flag, hehe." ”

When the security detachment retreated about five hundred meters, the task of blocking the enemy began to be taken over by other units, and the only task of the security detachment was to retreat. Of course, they also have a task of throwing down some guns, clothes, ammunition and so on from time to time, and try to pretend to be in a hurry to escape.

The commander of the Central Army was not a fool, and when he saw the weapons and clothes abandoned on the road, which were either old or rotten, he knew that this was the other side showing the enemy's weakness, and he also knew that this was the Red Army's return to its previous way of fighting, and no longer engaged in any kind of "keeping the enemy out of the country" and no longer engaged in step-by-step warfare, but began to use Mao Rundong's guerrilla warfare method to lure the enemy into going deeper.

However, they are not afraid, because they are convinced that in the face of absolute strength, no matter what tricks there are, no matter how tricks there are, no matter how useless they are, the real masters are bold.

The Central Army did not necessarily kill the Red Army, nor did it follow the Red Army to climb ravines and drill into the woods, but attacked the city in a dignified manner, took the county seat of Jianghua County, drove the Red Army to the south, forced them to the south, and expelled them to Guangzhou-West. As long as they grasp the goal of Jianghua County and the county seat, they will not disperse their forces.

Whether you lure the enemy deep or show weakness, we ignore you, just like a huge stone mill that runs smoothly and steadily all the way, killing the enemy when encountering the enemy, killing the demon when encountering the demon, and seeing what tricks you can play.

Xiao Zhiping smiled and said to Wang Dongyuan: "Do you say that these communists and bandits are playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong or dropping their bookbags in front of Confucius?" Still trying to trick us into being fooled, haha....... We won't run after them, we're just a hammer, just smash a place, and I won't chase you to death. ......, Deputy Commander Wang, how many artillery do you say the head of the Communist-Bandit City will press? ”

Wang Dongyuan said: "According to the information we received from the Gui army, the artillery captured by the communists and bandits at Matouling and the artillery captured by Wang Zanbin's 44th Division were basically discarded at the foot of Matouling and under the county seat of Guanyang County, and they only took a few mortars. In the course of our pursuit today, they dropped four more mortars. If they hadn't brought any mortars with them, they wouldn't have any artillery in their hands. ”

Xiao Zhiping said: "I'm not worried about what mortars they had before, they were a temporary combination of a group of broken red bandits, almost all of them were lost dogs, and they only gathered together when they met the incompetent Gui army, how could they still carry mortars?" I'm worried that when they occupy the county seat of Jianghua County, they will not capture the artillery of the Gui army. ”

Wang Dongyuan shook his head and said, "Impossible." Not to mention their Gui Army, even our Central Army cannot place artillery everywhere, artillery is the treasure of the army, and now even money can't buy it, not to mention that their Gui Army doesn't have much money, when they receive weapons from our Central Army, their eyes are green, how can there be how many artillery, how can they leave artillery in these places in Jianghua County? ”

Xiao Zhiping naturally knew how difficult it was to obtain artillery, he nodded, and said: "But I always have a bad premonition, and I always feel that they must have a certain amount of dependence. Otherwise, why didn't they break through the Xiangjiang defense line and escape when the 44th Division was wiped out, and still drill in a place like Jianghua County, and really learn from Sun Wukong into the belly of the Iron Fan Princess? What makes me even more uneasy is that it is impossible for them to know the difficulty of obtaining artillery, how could they blow up the artillery that they had captured with great difficulty? ”

Wang Dongyuan said with a smile: "Commander, you can rest assured." They are wise, and the main force of their Red Army is slow to move because they take everything away, and they delay the fighters. So they learned to be smart this time, they simply didn't bring anything, they didn't even want precious artillery, and what they pursued was mobile, and what they pursued was fast. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to arrive from Guanyang County to Jianghua County in one day and one night, and it would be impossible for them to rest here for almost two days before we arrived. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Dongyuan asked: "Why don't we ask Commander Zhou to send a telegram to Bai Chongxi and ask them if they have left any artillery in Jianghua County?" ”

Xiao Zhiping shook his head and said, "Do you think he will tell the truth?" Bai Chongxi is an old fox, he will definitely try to deceive us, trick us into fighting to the death with the communists, we don't ask him, maybe we can guess the strength of the communists and bandits in Jianghua County, but if you ask him, your brain will be a mess of him. ”

Wang Dongyuan felt the same way, and said: "Then we still push forward step by step, no matter what tricks they play with the bandits, we only follow our actions, do not play street battles with the gangsters, do not climb the ravine with the gangsters, fight steadily, do not seek merit but seek no fault." ”

"Good! That's what I'm waiting for. Xiao Zhiping smiled, "Hehe, I'm worried that brother, you really want to go into the city to rest tonight." ”

Wang Dongyuan also smiled and said: "I'm just cheering up my brothers, and you're not a hot-headed person, but I'm not a hot-headed person." We marched forward in this way, pushing forward step by step, and when we reached the bottom of the county seat, we overhauled the fortifications, smashed the city walls with artillery, extended the artillery bombardment inch by inch, and applied for planes to bomb one position after another. ”

Xiao Zhiping said happily: "Hehe, it's really the same thing that heroes see, so we have decided to do it to respond to all changes." As he spoke, he said to the communications staff, "Send a report, record!" ......, Commander Zhou of the Third Column: The post department led my 5,000 lions all the way like a bamboo, breaking through the resistance of Guo bandits several times, and the enemy looked at our dignified division, that is, the wolf bèi and fled. Our army has arrived at the county seat of Jianghua County before dusk today. In order to achieve the objectives agreed upon before departure, our army will establish a strong position under the city, and plan to use artillery and air force to destroy the county town of Jianghua after dawn tomorrow, so as to demonstrate the divine might of our central army......"

Standing on a mountain outside the city, Guo Zhuocheng held a telescope and looked at the Central Army, which was advancing cautiously.

Although it was already half past six in the afternoon, because it was southern, the sky did not seem too dark, and you could see three or four kilometers away with the help of a telescope from a high place.
