Hu Weidong did not agree to Long Feibao's request, although the commando team is also an elite force, but to put it mildly, it is actually a high-level death squad, how can the value be compared with the special combat team? Although He Huzi didn't know much about military affairs, he also knew that Hu Weidong valued Long Feibao and would be strict, so he naturally expressed his support, and the isolated Long Feibao could only pout and go back to continue learning foreign languages, lurking, disguise and speech

In mid-February 1935, Hu Weidong resolutely led the crowd to attack Yongfeng, but the result was unexpectedly smooth, and the simple pillbox with civil structure became a completely vulnerable tofu scum project in the face of flat-firing mortars. In less than three days, the militia regiment had occupied most of Yongfeng County, eliminating more than 3,000 enemy troops, a considerable part of which almost a militia was killed in the bunker without being injured, so the militia regiment's own casualties were pitifully small, even if they were counted as minor injuries, it was less than 300 people, and obtained a large number of soldiers from the prisoners and local people, and the number quickly expanded to tens of thousands, and the small "militia regiment" was instantly upgraded to an "independent division"

"In the face of the enemy who lacks the ability to attack fortifications, hiding in fortifications and defense is the most cost-effective way to play, but they didn't expect that we actually have a strong ability to attack fortifications, and as a result, they all became coffee tables", Hu Weidong sighed secretly, "But this kind of cheapness can't be encountered all the time, and there may not be such luck in the future, so it's better to be careful."

Hu Weidong's worries are not unreasonable, and he learned from the captured soldiers that even if an army has just been transferred, there are still many garrisons in Yongfeng County (from this point of view, it is actually enough to put a brigade in Xingguo, but it will be a nest of bears, once the wrong people are used, no matter how many troops there are, it is useless.) And there is no shortage of elite divisions among them. What surprised Hu Weidong the most was that the headquarters of the tax police corps, which was famous in later generations, was now stationed in Yongfeng County, and the central army had not yet begun to modify German weapons, and the equipment of the tax police corps was almost indisputably the first in China, and the regimental headquarters was incomparable, with an anti-aircraft artillery battalion (6 Oligan 20mm anti-aircraft cannons), a mountain artillery battalion (12 75mm mountain guns), a special service battalion (a Thompson submachine gun per man), a communications battalion, a baggage battalion (with more than 100 cars), and a health battalion. There is also a pistol company (each with 20 shots) specially responsible for the headquarters of the guard regiment, with a total strength of 4,000 or 5,000 people (a squad of the tax police regiment has 14 people, a platoon has 6 squads, and a battalion has 4 companies, which is more than the ordinary two or three battalions), and the firepower is even more fierce than that of many division-level and even army-level units of the national army

In addition, there was another elite unit in the city, that is, the old opponent of the independent division -- the "biedong team", and a captured plainclothes squad leader spit out an astonishing piece of information under severe torture and interrogation, and the big executioner Kang Ze took his biedong team headquarters to Jiangxi to inspect the progress of "social transformation", and had just arrived in Yongfeng County three days ago, but happened to encounter the attack of the independent division, and at this moment Kang Ze and his subordinates were afraid that they would still be stranded in the county seat. According to the commander of the plainclothes detachment, the headquarters had almost 2,000 troops and extremely sophisticated equipment, and they even had an artillery battalion equipped with 12 mountain guns. Moreover, Yongfeng County originally had a Biedong detachment stationed, and the two combined were more than 2,500 people, even though the hundreds of people who were previously sent to work in the townships below were almost wiped out under the sweep of the independent division, but the main force is still there, with the tradition of the Biedong team always equipped with automatic weapons (including twenty rings), the firepower of close combat can definitely be described as terrifying

At the same time, Yongfeng County originally had a division headquarters of a local army and a security brigade under its command (the other was stationed in Xingguo County, which had been wiped out by the independent division). A total of more than 3,000 people, but because most of them were scattered below to guard the pillboxes and along the road, they were annihilated one by one by the superior forces of the independent division, and now there are less than 2,000 people left...,

Although the city wall of Yongfeng County was also demolished by the Red Army, the 24 mountain cannons alone were enough to cause the besieging side to suffer huge losses, and even if the distance was shortened, the thousands of automatic weapons of the defenders in the city were as terrifying, although the independent division pulled up tens of thousands of people almost instantly, and frightened the enemy in the city for a while, so that they did not dare to kill out of the city immediately, but if they really want to fight with the elite soldiers in the city, these rabble of the independent division are not opponents in any case, but Hu Weidong knows this, After thinking deeply, he still decided to take Yongfeng County, the reason is very simple, "Kang Ze is in the city!" ”

Most of the officers and men of the independent division had been directly or indirectly killed by the Biedong team and the Returning Home Regiment, and when they heard that Kang Ze was the initiator and presiding officer of the extermination and massacre policy, they were all furious, and in order to seize the task of the main attack, several regiment commanders who had not yet taken off the word "acting" even almost fought a big fight. He Huzi and other serious people saw that the army's heart was like this, even if they objected, they couldn't say anything, but their faces were all solemn

hating Kang Ze's crimes, in fact, is only a secondary motive for Hu Weidong's decision to attack the county seat, and the more important reason is because Kang Ze is a red man in front of Lao Jiang, he is trapped in Yongfeng, and the people sent by the government to rescue me may not be a regiment or a brigade, but more likely a division, or even an army, with the current strength of the independent division, if you still want to encircle the point to send reinforcements, it is likely that your teeth will be broken first, but now you will pat your ass and leave, Hu Weidong is really unwilling, not to mention that retreating now is tantamount to telling the enemy that his strength is not good, When the time comes, it will be pursued by the elite defenders of the city, and the result will be equally bad

Rather than being unhappy like this, Hu Weidong felt that the independent division might as well go out and take Yongfeng County in one fell swoop, and then decide whether to fight or leave according to the number of enemy reinforcements, and the initiative would be in his own hands. As for whether it can be attacked, it depends on how effective the new secret weapons produced by the arsenal are

The first to make meritorious contributions were the first sapper shovels produced by the arsenal, and with the help of this earth-working weapon, in just one day, the soldiers of the independent division dug the trenches less than 200 meters from the forward positions of the defenders. Because the trenches dug by the Red Army were not only deep but not topless, but also twisted like snakes, it was difficult for the defenders' light weapons to hit people, and even if the shells accurately fell into the trenches, most of them were blocked by the trench walls, and they could not hurt a few people.
