The results of the battle were also very gratifying. They annihilated captured enemy battalions one after another, seized more than 500 guns, nine light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, dozens of boxes of various types of bullets and grenades, and successfully captured the enemy commander Han.
The battalion commander and his adjutant.
In the deep mountains and old forests, Battalion Commander Han and his adjutant were escorted to a field fortification. Xia Yuan stood in front of the map, drinking hot tea and waiting for the arrival of these people. When he saw Battalion Commander Han and his adjutant, Xia Yuan smiled.
Stand up.
Battalion Commander Han and the adjutant looked at the young man in front of them, who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, in shock.
Yang Chenglin said: "This is our leader."
Battalion Commander Han took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect that your Excellency would be so young and promising. My Excellency, Han Shixian."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Battle Commander Han was joking. Sit down and chat for a while?"
Battalion Commander Han nodded and sat on the stool, looking quite upright.
Xia Yuan waved his hand and asked someone to pour him a cup of hot tea. This made Camp Commander Han a little flattered and kept muttering in his heart.
Xia Yuan said: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
Battalion Commander Han shook his head: "I have become a prisoner now. If the commander wants to kill me, he can kill me at any time. He will definitely not poison the water. On the contrary, I believe that there is nothing wrong with this glass of water."
He picked it up, took a sip, and said, "It's just a little hot."
"I didn't expect you to be quite humorous."
Xia Yuan smiled and said: "Captain Han, I think you should know why I asked you to sit down and chat with me like this."
Battalion Commander Han thought for a moment and said, "Please give some clarification, Commander."
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll just tell you."
He put the cup on the map and said: "Battle Commander Han should have been transferred from West Hankou. He must be very familiar with the Red Army in West Hankou. I want to know the information about the Red Army in West Hankou."
Battalion Commander Han paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and said: "The captain really asked the right person. Yes, Han was indeed transferred from Xihankou. If you want to know about the Red Army in Xihankou, Han will naturally
I can also tell you something, but Han also has a question, and I hope the leader can clarify it for me."
Xia Yuan asked: "What doubts?"
Battalion Commander Han said: "Of course it's about County Magistrate Shen. When we were about to arrive at the Western Mountains, the county town was suddenly attacked. He took his people back to support him. I want to know if Magistrate Shen has anything to do with the Red Army.
Relationship, after all, this is too coincidental."
Xia Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Of course County Magistrate Shen has nothing to do with our Red Army. Our intelligence about your team is wrong. Naturally, we have to use the intelligence gap to deal with you. In fact, we only have the strength to attack the county.
There is a company just to separate you, and then eat you separately."
Battalion Commander Han smiled bitterly: "So that's it."
Xia Yuan said: "Can Battalion Commander Han talk about the Red Army team in West Hankou?"
Battalion Commander Han nodded, "I also hope that the regiment commander can treat those captured brothers well."
"It's natural."
Battalion Commander Han said: "The Red Army's survivability in West Hankou is extremely tenacious. They are hidden in the mountains and forests. We have no choice but to block the mountains and forests."
Xia Yuan asked in confusion: "Why don't you go up the mountain to encircle and suppress him?"
Battalion Commander Han said: "Commander, don't you yourself know the ability of your Red Army to fight guerrillas in the mountains? We only have two regiments in West Hankou, one in the east and one in the west. Now we are in the middle of a war in the Central Plains. These two regiments
We dare not act rashly, so we can only encircle it first without attacking. When the war in the Central Plains ends in the future and the main force returns to the North, it will be the best time to encircle and suppress the Red Army in Western Hankou."
After a pause, he asked: "Commander, do you want to rescue the Red Army in West Hankou?"
Xia Yuan did not hide anything. He nodded slowly, his eyes lost in thought, thinking about how to rescue this Red Army team.
I suddenly had a rough plan in my mind.
Battalion Commander Han added: "Commander, to be honest, I admire your Red Army quite a lot. Han's family is also a farmer, and they all fought hard through battles. The reason why the Kuomintang and the Communist Party started fighting was because of the differences between the two sides."
We have different positions. If we can cooperate, who is willing to fight and kill?"
After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, Han is very interested in the policies of the Red Army. However, his family is with the National Army and he cannot escape. He also has a group of brothers in his hands. If he really joins the Red Army, these brothers will suffer."
, Han had to obey the orders of his superiors for the sake of the lives of these brothers, but the regiment leader can rest assured that I and my brothers did not take action against the Red Army on the mountain, and have been wandering around the periphery of the mountain."
Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Camp Commander Han in front of him with interest. Faced with life and death and his position, he still chose life and death. Such a person might understand.
They are greedy for life and afraid of death, and follow the trend of others.
Xia Yuandao: "Since Camp Commander Han understands the Red Army, he should know the policies of the Red Army. Our Red Army treats prisoners preferentially. If Commander Han can explain everything he knows clearly, I am willing to give Commander Han a chance.
"
Hearing this, Battalion Commander Han showed an expression of joy on his face. He had been in the White Army for so long and had gained a lot of wealth. Before he had time to enjoy it, he didn't want to die yet. Hearing Xia Yuan's words, he nodded repeatedly and told himself that
Everything shook out.
Then he was locked up by Xia Yuan.
Yang Chenglin looked at Battalion Commander Han who was being taken away and asked: "Captain, can you believe this guy's words?"
Xia Yuan nodded: "It can be believed that although the situation of the Red Army in West Hankou is not good, it is not life-threatening. The White Army surrounded them without attacking them. Without supplies, they cannot hold on for long. We must attack West Hankou as soon as possible.
rescued by the Red Army."
At this time, Hu Xianfeng walked in: "Captain, the casualties have been calculated. The second battalion lost 11 people and injured 68 people. The third battalion lost 23 people and injured 59 people."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Yuan stood up and said: "After paying such casualties, our gains are worth it. Go tell the political commissar to bring out some oceans and grains, and give them
Compensate with the families of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives. If they are only children, then we, the Red Army, are their children."
"yes!"
Hu Xianfeng went to settle things after the war.
The deputy battalion commander of the second battalion came in and said: "Captain, the gains from this battle are pretty good. We captured more than 200 people, killed more than 200 enemies, and seized a lot of guns and ammunition. Take a look.
.”
The deputy battalion commander handed Xia Yuan a list of seized materials. Xia Yuan looked at it and said, "These weapons and ammunition will be given priority to the 1, 2, and 3 battalions, especially all types of heavy weapons."
Yang Chenglin said: "Captain, let our first battalion go on this mission. Our first battalion will definitely rescue the Red Army comrades in West Hankou!"
Xia Yuan shook his head: "No, this time the rescue mission will be carried out by the 123rd Battalion. What we will face are the enemies of the two regiments in West Hankou. We need to block the enemies in West Hankou in order to rescue our troops in West Hankou.
Red Army Troops.”
Considering that the Red Army in West Hankou had been besieged for so long, Xia Yuan had to start thinking about how to rescue the Red Army in West Hankou after the battle. West Hankou had two regiments of the White Army and more than 2,000 troops.
They only have a thousand troops, a strength of two to one, and the enemy's logistics supplies are sufficient, and their weapons and ammunition are in short supply. It will not be easy to defeat this enemy.
While Xia Yuan was thinking, in the county town, County Magistrate Shen was sitting on a stool covered in cold sweat, with a hint of horror on his face: "It's over, it's over, the whole battalion has been destroyed in Sanpingdu. It's over now. We have
It is a huge responsibility. The strength of the Red Army is far more than one company. It can surround and annihilate Battalion Commander Han’s battalion and my company in Sanpingdu. The strength of this Red Army is at least one regiment."
Immediately, his expression became ferocious again: "Go and call the person who came the day before yesterday!"
The old housekeeper quickly said: "County Magistrate, the man left the county yesterday and is missing."
"What!"
County Magistrate Shen sat slumped on the stool and took a deep breath: "I didn't expect this Red Army to be so cunning. They passed on false information, causing us to misjudge the strength of the Red Army, which led to Battalion Commander Han being surrounded and annihilated.
, we have a huge responsibility, we have a huge responsibility."
County Magistrate Shen felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought about the pressure he would face from the White Army next.
In this way, two days passed in confusion.
Late that night, two figures quietly walked into County Magistrate Shen's house. The sleepy Magistrate Shen suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at him. He quickly opened his eyes and saw a figure standing there.
In front of his bedside, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
County Magistrate Shen suddenly felt his scalp numb, "You, who are you!"
The figure said coldly: "Red Army!"
County Magistrate Shen's eyes were focused, his whole body was stiff, and his lips were trembling: "Red, Red Army, no, it's impossible, the Red Army is not in Nianping Village, there is no way they can come to the county!"
He was about to open his mouth to shout, but a cold object was pressed on his forehead, "I advise County Magistrate Shen not to shout. Our four battalions of troops outside the county are ready. Once they hear any movement in the county, they will
We will attack the city at all costs. Since County Magistrate Shen knows that Battalion Commander Han has been annihilated by us, does Magistrate Shen think it is impossible for the two companies left in the county to resist a regiment's attack?"
County Magistrate Shen broke into a cold sweat and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
The concubine lying next to her vaguely heard County Magistrate Shen talking. When she opened her eyes, she saw a black figure standing beside their bed. He opened his mouth to scream. The man suddenly stretched out his palm and struck out like lightning. , slashed the woman's neck. The woman rolled her eyes and lay down.
County Magistrate Shen was horrified: "What did you do to her?"
The man said: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Shen, she is just in a coma. The main reason I came here this time is to discuss cooperation with County Magistrate Shen."
County Magistrate Shen pretended to be calm and asked: "What kind of cooperation?"
The man said: "Give me a batch of weapons and equipment, and I will take people away immediately. From now on, we will not interfere with the river. You live in your county, and we live in our mountains and valleys. No matter what happens outside, you Don't ask or take care of it. Our Red Army only has conflicts with the White Army. If you insist on getting involved, I'm sorry, but I don't think County Magistrate Shen will survive tonight."
County Magistrate Shen looked a little horrified, "How many weapons and equipment?"
The man said: "We need a battalion now!"
County Magistrate Shen was also aware of current affairs and said quickly: "There are too many weapons and equipment for one battalion."
The man said: "Not much. The ammunition depot you have in the county is enough to equip a regiment. I only need one battalion, so why are there more?"
County Magistrate Shen stared at the figure in front of him: "You, you all know."
The man said: "Of course, when we come to the county town, we must do our homework well."
"homework?"
"You don't need to worry about this. All you need to do is take out a battalion's weapons and equipment and drag them outside the city. We will retreat immediately."
County Magistrate Shen took a deep breath and said, "Can you guarantee that I will give you the weapons and equipment and you will retreat immediately?"
"Of course, I still value integrity. What's more, your life is already in my hands. All I need to do to kill you is to pull the trigger. But if I kill you, there will be another new county magistrate in front of me. Come on, rather than choose a new county magistrate, I still hope to cooperate with you. After all, your methods are a bit dark. Fortunately, you are only dealing with some more hateful traders and landlords in the county. If you move Farmer, you won't see me tonight."
County Magistrate Shen broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking back to what happened in the past, he bullied vendors in the county town. Fortunately, he did not bully farmers. Bullying farmers actually affected the interests of local landlords, and it was too far away from the county town. It was better to directly bully those farmers. Landowners, one by one, are trying to get them to collect more grain every year.
He was very happy in his heart.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his nervousness eased a little, County Magistrate Shen said: "I can give you a battalion of weapons and equipment, but I also hope that you can keep your word. From today on, you and I will not be in conflict with each other."
"nature."
That night, County Magistrate Shen and his people took out a battalion's equipment from the warehouse and transported it to the cemetery two kilometers outside the south gate that Heiying said.
In the hazy night, County Magistrate Shen looked at the surrounding cemeteries, as if there were pairs of eyes staring at them, which made him feel creepy. He immediately ordered his men to put down their weapons and equipment and leave immediately, without taking away the carriage that pulled the weapons and equipment. That's it. A group of people quickly disappeared into the cemetery.
Not long after the group left, a group of people emerged from the cemetery. The commander of the fourth battalion, Wen Juxin, said with a smile: "I didn't expect that what the commander said was true. Someone would really send weapons and equipment here in the middle of the night. Hurry up.
, take your things and leave quickly."
The deputy battalion commander asked: "Old Wen, what do you think is going on with the regimental commander?"
Wen Juxin smiled and said: "This is not something you and I can worry about. We just need to believe what the leader says."
