Although the plan was said to have been made, Yang Dingguo did not act without authorization.
Although the Zhongge said it had given itself autonomy in action, this time it was different from before.
After all, a relatively important operation like crossing the Dadu River is still very important to the Red Army. A little carelessness will have a major impact, and the consequences are not what one can bear.
If he acts without authorization, he is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to Zhongge.
Therefore, after Yang Dingguo formulated the plan, he sent a report to Zhongge, requesting Zhongge's instructions.
Zhongge praised Yang Dingguo's quick action, but did not choose to agree to Yang Dingguo's action plan.
The Second Red Division, which is closest to the Red 100 Regiment, is still about two days away, and the large troops and rearguard units behind it are even further away.
The enemy's pursuers are following closely behind, and a defense line has begun to be deployed on the Dadu River in front. If the Red 100 Regiment crosses the river in advance, it will definitely attract Xiaojiang's great attention.
By then, Xiaojiang's large forces will be encircled and suppressed. Their strength of more than 500 people in the Red 100th Regiment may not be able to hold on.
Not only that, even the main force of the Red Army will be in danger again. In this case, the advantages gained by crossing Chishui four times will be gone.
After reading Zhongge's reply, Yang Dingguo was not disappointed. He naturally understood Zhongge's thoughts. How should I put it, he still had this awareness.
Therefore, he led his troops to hide around the Dadu River, and while exploring the enemy's troop deployment, he checked to see if there were any places that the enemy had not noticed. Then he could take the opportunity to cross the river quietly without being discovered by the enemy.
...
Time flies. After two days of exploration by the Red 100 Regiment, it was discovered that only Anshunchang on the Dadu River has weak defenses and is suitable for crossing the river.
In other places, either the water flow is too fast, or the two banks are too far apart, or there are too many enemy troops.
On the evening of May 22nd.
The vanguard of the Red Army rushed to the vicinity of the Dadu River. Because they had received a telegram from Yang Dingguo in advance, they marched quickly in the direction of Anshun Field.
At this time, the Fourth Red Regiment was less than 10 miles away from Anshun Field.
After receiving the telegram from the Fourth Red Regiment, Yang Dingguo decided to immediately lead the 100th Red Regiment to attack the enemy troops in Anshun Field, trying to capture Anshun Field before the Fourth Red Regiment arrived.
At this time, it was raining lightly in the sky, and under the cover of night, visibility was extremely poor.
However, the soldiers of the Red 100 Regiment have been eating well in the past two months, with sufficient oil, water and nutrition, so no one has night blindness.
Taking advantage of the darkness, they headed towards Anshun Field.
"Damn it, it's such a cold day and you still have labor and management to stand guard. You really don't treat us as human beings!"
"Quietly, keep your mouth shut. The Red Army is about to attack. It's hard for you son of a bitch to stand guard now. When the time comes, you won't even know how you died if your neck is wiped!"
"Oh Immortal..."
"Pfft..."
Wipe your neck, labor will satisfy you.
Wang Dali shook off the blood on the knife, covered the mouth of the corpse in his hand, and slowly put it down. Then he looked at Sun Long next to him and nodded to each other.
After confirming that all the sentries were dead, he waved his hand, and then a large number of soldiers poured into the Sichuan Army's station.
Yang Dingguo thought of quietly occupying Anshun Field without firing a single shot. In this way, he would have the opportunity to cross the river on a rainy night, and the possibility of being discovered would be extremely small.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
When the soldiers of the Red 100th Regiment were taking action, they happened to encounter a man holding hair in his mouth and peeing at night. His screams woke up the Sichuan troops who were still sleeping.
The battle naturally broke out.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Da da da......"
Being discovered by the enemy is not a big problem.
"Comrades, charge!"
"kill!"
At Yang Dingguo's order, the soldiers no longer hid, and fired wildly at the enemy with their submachine guns.
The Sichuan soldiers who had just rushed out and had not yet put on their clothes were beaten by fierce firepower before they could react.
A dozen bullets could be extracted from each corpse, and the unlucky corpses were beaten into sieves.
In less than 10 minutes, the two companies of defenders at Anshun Field were completely wiped out by the Red 100 Regiment, leaving no one alive.
After occupying Anshun Field, Yang Dingguo immediately arranged for soldiers to set up artillery positions.
Dozens of 82 mortars were quickly set up. As soon as Yang Dingguo gave the order, a large number of artillery shells would immediately hit the station of a battalion of the opposite Kishikawa Army.
In order to prevent the Red Army from crossing the river, the Sichuan army on the other side of the Dadu River uniformly adopted a fortress strategy. A large number of fortresses were built at each stronghold, hoping to use fortresses to fight against the Red Army without heavy weapons.
But what they never expected was that the Red Army also had Yang Dingguo, who was cheating.
No matter how strong their fortress is, two or three hours of shelling it can reduce it to the ground.
Even if the fortress doesn't collapse, the people inside the fortress will definitely not be able to withstand it. The shock wave generated by dozens of rounds of shelling will probably shatter their internal organs.
In addition, in the past two days, Yang Dingguo also found more than a dozen boats to cross the river, so he was not worried about the Red Army crossing the river at all.
What we have to do now is to hold the crossing before all the Red Army crosses the river, and prevent the enemy's counterattack by the large forces.
Xiaojiang wanted to rely on the natural barrier of the Dadu River to stop the Red Army here. If he knew the news about the Red Army crossing the river, he would definitely be like a mad dog and let the troops bite him.
As the old saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it.
The same is true here.
Only when all the large forces have crossed the river can it be considered a success.
...
Soon, the 4th Red Regiment arrived at the Anshun Factory and successfully met up with the 100th Red Regiment.
"Dingguo, long time no see."
"Commander Geng, Political Commissar Yang, long time no see."
After the three of them saluted each other, they went straight to the topic without being polite.
Yang Dingguo told the whole story about the current situation and his plans.
After thinking for a moment, Captain Geng nodded. He thought this plan was very good.
"Dingguo, your plan is very good. Now our large force of the Second Red Division is behind us and will arrive soon."
"Let's seize the other side before they come. Your 100th Red Regiment will be here to cover the artillery fire. I'll lead the 4th Red Regiment across the river and occupy the other side. How about that?"
Yang Dingguo nodded. This crossing of the river was very easy, so he didn't want to compete with the Fourth Red Regiment, so he agreed directly.
Next, the action begins.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the Sichuan Army's position on the other side of the Dadu River. Artillery shells all over the sky fell into the Sichuan Army's position like raindrops, directly blasting those who were still outside dizzy and torn into pieces.
At the same time, Captain Geng personally led the soldiers of the Fourth Red Regiment to cross the river using the boats prepared by Yang Dingguo in advance.
The gunshots from the other side had long since awakened the Sichuan troops in this battalion.
The violent gunshots let them know that this must be the Red Army coming over. All of them suddenly lost sleep. They hurriedly entered the bunkers and trenches, staring at the other side of the river attentively, for fear that if they neglected a little bit, they would be killed. The Red Army rushed over. But what greeted them was not the soldiers of the Red Army, but artillery shells falling like raindrops from the sky.
"Ah ah ah, save me, I don't want to die!"
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much. I seem to see that I'm too breasty and she's moving towards me..."
"Damn it, everyone get into the bunker, hurry up, everyone get into the bunker!"
The Red Army's artillery fire directly stunned the Sichuan Army battalion commander, and he could only yell and enter the bunker. However, is it necessarily safe inside the bunker?
As a large number of artillery shells fell like washing the ground, the shouts on the Sichuan army's position gradually stopped.
Seeing that the Fourth Red Regiment was about to dock, Yang Dingguo also promptly ordered the artillery to stop shelling, and at the same time asked the soldiers of the assault company to prepare firepower to suppress the enemy on the opposite side to prevent the Fourth Red Regiment from being attacked before they landed.
However, it is obvious that Yang Dingguo is overthinking.
With such a small position and such a violent bombardment, if any of these Sichuan troops could survive, it would definitely be because of the smoke coming out of their ancestral graves.
After landing, Commander Geng led his soldiers to the Sichuan Army's position.
But at this time, apart from smelling the smell of burnt meat, they could not see a single living person, not even a complete corpse.
"Is this fucking fire coverage?"
Captain Geng murmured to himself that this battle seemed to have opened a door to a new world for him. As for whether he could afford the logistics, he did not consider it at all at this time.
I just thought about when I could personally direct such a bombardment.
In this way, the Fourth Red Regiment successfully occupied the other side of the Dadu River and began to use ships to build pontoons across the river.
