At this time, Taoyuan County was heavily guarded. Looking towards the city wall, patrols came one after another. As the reconnaissance battalion was notified, after an afternoon of hard work, the entire reconnaissance battalion and the soldiers of the two reconnaissance companies had sneaked into the county.
There were about three hundred people, but only some pistols could be brought in. The other investigators and all the weapons were hidden in a forest not far from the city wall, waiting for the response from the investigators in the city.
At this time, a patrol team came over. There were not many in number, just 6. The commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Liu Xiaogang, and the five scouts who had already sneaked into the city were hiding in the dark and quietly waiting for the opportunity. Finally, the 6 enemy troops left.
Liu Xiaogang waved his hand, and he and his five comrades behind him suddenly jumped out. Before the enemy could react, a gleaming dagger had been pierced into their hearts, just like this quietly.
Yes, all the enemy patrols in this area have been replaced by scouts from the Seventh Legion.
With the sound of two cat meows, more than a dozen ropes were thrown from the city wall. The investigators under the city wall climbed up the city wall one after another, and then disappeared into the dark Taoyuan County with their weapons.
In this way, after a night of assembly and reconnaissance, Liu Xiaogang had figured out the exact addresses of important places such as the ammunition depot and logistics equipment in the city. At this time, the enemy ammunition depot had assembled a reconnaissance company, and the logistics department had assembled two troops.
A company of troops was assembled at the enemy's regiment headquarters, and a company of troops was assembled at the enemy's supply warehouse. All the troops were changed into Hubei army uniforms, waiting for the siege order from the commander of the army.
Liu Hua led the main force to the foot of Taoyuan City after more than three hours of march. He immediately ordered the troops to rest and reorganize, and asked the mountain artillery battalion to set up cannons immediately and wait for dawn.
At this time, it was already slightly dawning. The commander of the battalion guarding the city gate saw all 18 cannons outside the city pointed at him. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground and picked up the phone to report the situation to the commander.
"Commander, commander, it's not good. The Communist Army has captured all our mountain artillery. Now all the mountain artillery are facing the city gate. Commander, please send troops quickly. I only have one battalion here. I will definitely not be able to defend it."
, Commander, I want reinforcements." As he finished saying this, the 18 mountain cannons outside the city roared together. The 18 mountain cannon shells instantly destroyed the city gate tower. The enemy battalion commander's request for reinforcements report
Before he could finish speaking, he was buried under the rubble.
The mountain artillery battalion was ordered to fire two volleys at the city wall. The First Regiment of the Second Division of the Seventh Army launched a charge. Other troops blocked several city gates and resolutely eliminated those who did not surrender. Liu Hua simply arranged the task.
At this time, the scouts in the city immediately began to take action after hearing the artillery fire outside the city. The first to take action were the troops near the enemy's supply camp. Liu Xiaogang led his two companies, wearing Hubei army uniforms, swaggering
Walking into the enemy's baggage camp, the enemy sentry came over. Just as he was about to ask something, the bayonet of the scout next to him had already been stabbed into his stomach. At this time, the baggage camp heard the explosion of artillery shells.
, immediately became a mess and started to get dressed.
At this time, the soldiers of the two reconnaissance companies led by Liu Xiaogang were all in place. With an order, each soldier threw all the prepared grenades into the room, and explosions were heard.
There were bursts of wailing, and just like that, the entire supply camp of more than 400 people was bombed, leaving only a few injured prisoners. Liu Xiaogang saw that the supply camp was all controlled by his own people, so he left one company behind.
troops, leading the remaining company to attack the city gate.
It is even easier for a company to assemble in the ammunition depot. They can directly announce that they are here to receive ammunition. The guards can easily sneak into the ammunition depot. If there are not enough guards in that platoon, the company will be gone.
Quickly, the material warehouse has also been occupied.
Liu Xiaogang, who was attacking the city gate all the way, was almost in danger because he was wearing the uniform of the Hubei Army. No less than one company was deceived and assassinated by Liu Xiaogang and others along the way. At this time, Liu Xiaogang suddenly heard a message coming from the enemy regiment headquarters.
There was a burst of fierce gunfire. I immediately felt something was wrong, so I led reinforcements over there.
It turned out that just when a company of the enemy's regiment headquarters was preparing to attack, the enemy's commander also decided to abandon Taoyuan and lead his troops to break out. The two groups of men and horses happened to collide. You know, the training of the Hubei army is very good.
, coupled with the fact that the enemy commander was surrounded by his own guards and had good weapons, the reconnaissance company was immediately suppressed by the opponent's powerful firepower. When Liu Xiaogang arrived, several soldiers in the reconnaissance company had already been killed.
After listening to the report from the commander of the reconnaissance company, Liu Xiaogang immediately had an idea. He ordered a company that was holding on to hold on for 10 minutes and then withdraw. He led a company of troops to ambush the enemy company commander's retreat on the way to fight for them.
Ambush them all. Don't think too much, this many elite enemy troops were all thrown into Liu Xiaogang's ambush circle, and even the enemy commander was shot in the head.
When Liu Xiaogang and the remaining people were preparing to reinforce the city gate, a team came towards the city gate. Liu Xiaogang took a closer look and found that his own troops were coming in. He hurriedly greeted them and sent someone to lead them.
The troops take over all the enemy's warehouses and supplies.
"Reporting to the commander of the army, the reconnaissance battalion and the two reconnaissance companies have successfully completed their mission." Liu Xiaogang came to Liu Hua and saluted immediately.
"Well, very good, order all the reconnaissance troops to rest and recuperate, and all battlefields will be cleaned by the follow-up troops. Go down and rest!" He patted Liu Xiaogang on the shoulder.
Liu Hua came to the Taoyuan County Government, found the room he stayed in last time, lay down and fell asleep. Also, for this victory, Liu Hua had not rested for two consecutive days. The political commissar looked at the young legionnaire in front of him
Chang, smiled and closed the door to the room.
The next day, at dawn, Liu Hua was awakened by a burst of cheers. When he walked out of the room, he saw the political commissar walking towards him with a smile.
"Regiment commander, Mr. He sent a telegram. They fought a victory in the mountainous area west of Yongshun. They completely wiped out the two brigades of the Hunan Army and captured a lot of goods. He also asked us about the current battle situation of the Seventh Army." He said.
The telegram was handed to Liu Hua.
Liu Hua also laughed when he saw the telegram: "Political Commissar, it seems that both sides of us have won the battle. This time Chairman Chiang should curse. How about it? Have the results been calculated?"
"Look at me, haha, I forgot something important. Legion commander, we sent it again this time. I didn't expect that this division Zhang Zhenhan is so rich. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Let me tell you, you
But don’t be scared:
First, we seized a total of 800,000 kilograms of grain, which was enough for Zhang Zhenhan's entire army for nearly two months. It all gave us an advantage, haha.
The second is the enemy's supply camp, which mainly contains 6 mortars, 5,000 mortar shells, 3,000 mountain artillery shells, a total of about 1 million rounds of ammunition, and about 20,000 grenades.
Third, and the most gratifying thing, we captured the enemy's ammunition depot. According to the ammunition depot defense introduction, these ammunitions are all the enemy's ammunition reserves for the winter encirclement and suppression of us. Oh my god, I went in,
I was really shocked. They were all filled with artillery shells and bullets. Preliminary statistics showed that there were about 10,000 mortar shells, about 5,000 mountain artillery shells, and about 5 million bullets. Haha, I really didn’t expect that Chiang Kai-shek
This time he gave us such a big gift."
After hearing what the political commissar said, Liu Hua was also shocked and was speechless for a long time. "Political commissar, have these situations been reported to Mr. He?"
"Legion Commander, aren't you still sleeping? I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't disturb you. I was waiting for you to sign before submitting the report," the political commissar said with a smile.
"Come on, political commissar, let's go report the good news to the commander-in-chief." After saying that, he picked up the political commissar and walked to the confidential room.
