chapter Ten
Because the Gui army was blocked by landmines, they missed the best time to pursue and lost trace of the Red 34th Division early.
There was no other way, Du Wei could only order various troops to search for the location of the Red 34th Division in order to annihilate the Red 34th Division before it crossed the river.
However, with the commando team led by Yang Dingguo exploring the front of the team, they can respond in time to various crises and respond in advance.
Therefore, while the Red 34th Division rapidly advanced towards the Xiangjiang River, it was not discovered by the enemy and seemed very calm along the way.
Yang Dingguo did not relax his vigilance because of this. He had learned about things related to the Long March before crossing over. After all, he was a soldier's family. Therefore, he remembered that when the Red 34th Division left Maple Tree Foot and headed for the Xiangjiang River, it was with Baldhead. The army fought against each other.
Then there were heavy losses, and finally Commander Chen was captured and sacrificed.
Only a few people in the entire Red 34th Division survived.
However, Yang Dingguo didn't know where he met the enemy. Therefore, he could only order the sniper squad to be extremely energetic and make no mistakes along the way.
Because I was not familiar with the road, I wasted some time.
On December 2, the troops crossed Baogai Mountain and entered the Tongmu River area in Guanjiang Township, Quanzhou County.
In order to reach Fenghuangzui quickly, Yang Dingguo specially found a commoner who was familiar with the surrounding terrain to guide them.
In the early morning of December 3, under the leadership of local people, the marching speed of the Red Thirty-Fourth Division increased. The troops moved south along the river and arrived near Wentang Village, Anhe Town, Quanzhou County, preparing to plunge into Fenghuang Mouth from Datang and seize the enemy. Cross the Xiangjiang River.
...
Near Wentang Village, Anhe Town, Quanzhou County, northern Guangxi.
Du Wei of the Gui Army was temporarily stationed here. After the Battle of Maple Foot, his Seventh Army was blocked by a large number of landmines.
However, Du Wei did not give up.
He can become the commander of the Seventh Army. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no ability.
Since he didn't know where the Red Army had gone, he simply stopped chasing them and started studying the map with his staff.
Finally, the target was set at Wentang Village, Anhe Town, Quanzhou County. They believed that if the Red 34th Division wanted to cross the river quickly, it must pass through here.
Now that it had been discussed, Du Wei did not hesitate. He directly ordered a regiment to travel lightly, and he himself led a large force to follow closely.
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the regiment actually arrived at Wentang Village ahead of the 34th Division.
A war is about to break out.
Because the Gui army set off late, they only arrived at Wentang Village about half an hour faster than Yang Dingguo. Therefore, they did not have time to build fortifications or anything.
After arriving, we started to rest.
The sniper squad that arrived later easily discovered the traces of Gui Jun. Xiao Fei was so shocked that he immediately sent someone back to report.
Then he looked for a suitable location and began to explore the situation of Gui Jun.
After taking a rough look at the number of people, weapons and equipment of the Gui army, he hurriedly sent someone back to report.
After receiving the news, Yang Dingguo was shocked.
He never expected that the Gui army behind them would run in front of them without knowing it.
Wentang Village is the only way to pass. There is no way to avoid this battle. We can only break through the enemy from the front.
Although the Gui Army has a full regiment of more than 2,000 people, fortunately it does not have heavy weapons, only dozens of light machine guns, so it is not very difficult to deal with.
However, now we have to wait for the large forces to arrive and launch an attack at the same time. If we attack in advance, we will only alert the enemy.
Half an hour later, Commander Chen, who received the news, arrived with a large force of the 34th Division.
Looking at the enemy who was twice his own, he frowned.
Soon, Mr. Chen had an idea in mind.
"Chief of Staff, go and gather all the Czech light machine guns in our division to form a machine gun company."
"yes!"
After Yang Dingguo brought back several supplies, the 34th Division now has more than a hundred Czech-style light machine guns at its disposal. Forming a reinforced machine gun company is not a problem at all.
The bullets are enough for now.
Commander Chen is not worried about the consumption of bullets for the time being. After all, if they do not break through the enemy's defense line quickly, it will be a question whether they can save their lives, let alone cross the river.
Therefore, the top priority now is to break through the Gui Army's defense line as quickly as possible.
Soon, Chief of Staff Wang formed the reinforced machine gun company. Commander Chen also delivered a pre-war speech.
"Comrades, after breaking through this blockade, we will reach the Xiangjiang River. After crossing the river, we will be able to catch up with the large army. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Break the last drop of blood for the new rabbit!"
...
The young warriors have firm eyes. No matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
They are the most respectable warriors.
Yang Dingguo stood in the crowd and looked at Mr. Chen firmly. At this time, his heart was filled with pride.
Fighting with such a group of warriors who care about their country, have justice in their hearts, and are not afraid of sacrifice will be worth it even if they die!
"Okay, in three minutes, launch the attack!"
Everyone started to take action and started making final preparations.
Commander Chen looked at Gui Jun in the distance and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Commander, it's too bad. None of the wounded soldiers want to leave."
At this time, a young soldier ran over quickly.
Hearing this, Master Chen hurriedly ran towards where the wounded were without saying a word.
When he got closer, he saw that Commander Yan of the 101st Regiment, Political Commissar Yang, and several soldiers were pointing guns above their heads, looking at the medical staff in front of him with red eyes.
"Lao Yan, Lao Yang, what are you doing? Put down the gun!"
Commander Chen walked over, held Commander Yan's gun hand, and wanted to take out the gun in his hand.
However, the strength of his left hand alone could not shake it at all.
"Old Yan, we are about to cross the river. What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and put down the gun honestly. Otherwise, when we cross the river, I will report to the commander-in-chief. Be careful, the commander-in-chief will come to train you in person!"
"And Lao Yang, you too, why are you following Lao Yan to cause trouble? As the political commissar of the 101st Regiment, you can't..."
"Teacher, stop talking!"
Before Mr. Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Commander Yan.
"Next, the troops have to break through the enemy's defense line and cross the river quickly. There is no time to lose. Bringing us along will be a burden."
"You should go faster with your uninjured comrades, and leave us here."
Commander Yan's eyes were red.
He would rather die on the battlefield than become a burden and hinder the progress of the troops.
If more comrades died because of him, he would never be able to forgive himself.
