Chapter 49 Sweeping Southeast Guizhou (2)(2/2)
Shoot him to death!"
After the enemy battalion commander stood up, he hurriedly said: "Commander of the Red Army, please ask me, and I will answer it honestly."
Yang Dezhi looked at the guy. He was so thin that only his bones were left. His face was dark and yellow. He was probably a smoker. He said, "Tell me your unit number!"
The enemy battalion commander hurriedly stood up and said: "Report to the Red Army commander, my subordinate is the 7th Regiment of Zhou Fangren's Department, Fourth Brigade of the 25th Army of the National Army."
Yang Dezhi asked: "Which unit is the Jianhe garrison? How many people are there?"
The enemy battalion commander replied: "Reporting to the commander of the Red Army, it is the eighth regiment of the Zhou Brigade, with about 2,000 people. There are also some militia groups with about 500 people. However, the commander must go quickly to fight Jianhe. It is late. I guess they
Just ran away."
Yang Dezhi smiled and asked, "How did you know they were going to run away?"
The enemy battalion commander replied: "Report to the commander of the Red Army, the counties of Rongjiang, Jianhe, Taijiang, Sansui, and Liping are only garrisoned by these two regiments. Our regiment fled here from Liping a few days ago.
As soon as the deserters from our regiment arrive in Jianhe County, they will definitely run away together."
Yang Dezhi felt very strange, how could he only have such a small force? He asked: "Where is Wang Jialie's main force?"
The enemy battalion commander started to show off: "Report to the Red Army commander, Chairman Wang's main 15 regiments are still in Tongren. I heard that they were preparing to go to Jinping and Liping to intercept the Red Army on the order of Chairman Chiang. I didn't expect you to come.
So fast. I heard that Commander Wang ordered Hou Zhidan's troops to deploy defenses along the Wujiang River at Huangping and Shibing lines, and ordered You Guocai to send out six regiments to deploy on the east side of the south bank of the Wujiang River. It is said that the result was that You Guocai was only willing to send out two regiments.
, it’s not in place yet. Commander Wang’s own main force planned to deploy defenses on the west side of the south bank of Wujiang River, but now it’s too late. You came too fast, and Commander Wang’s main force will not be able to come back.”
Just as he was talking, the enemy battalion commander's nose and saliva began to flow out. It turned out that he was addicted to cigarettes.
The enemy battalion commander immediately said something unreasonable: "Report, report to the Red Army commander, I have told you everything I know. Please be merciful and let me take a sip to enjoy myself."
Yang Dezhi waved his hand in disgust, and Sun Jixian slipped the guy away.
Yang Dezhi said to Li Lin: "Political Commissar, your troops are very quick. We will immediately lead our troops to capture Jianhe County and leave a company to escort the prisoners and captured weapons. What do you think?"
Li Lin said two words: "Agree."
The troops quickly gathered and headed straight for the county seat.
As the name suggests, Wuli Bridge is five miles away from the county seat. The distance is very short, and the iron feet of the Red Army soldiers are very fast. But no matter how fast they are, they can't keep up with the speed of the Guizhou Army's escape. When the Red Army rushed to the edge of the county seat, they looked through the telescope
When I arrived, I saw that the Guizhou army in the city had begun to escape out of the west gate.
Yang Dezhi urgently ordered to attack the city, but the Guizhou army at the east gate of the city ran away without firing a few shots. When the Red Army soldiers entered the county town, it was almost an empty city.
Sitting on the chair of Jianhe County Magistrate, recalling the fierce battles with the Central Army, Gan Army, Guangdong Army, Hunan Army, and Gui Army since joining the Red Army, Yang Dezhi called the telegraph operator and began to dictate the telegram:
"Division Chief: On the afternoon of December 16, our unit encountered the 7th Regiment of Zhou Fangren's 4th Brigade of the enemy's Guizhou Army at Wuli Bridge in Jianhe, and defeated the enemy, captured more than 700 people, and surrendered more than 800 guns. After interrogation
Prisoners, upon learning that the Eighth Regiment of the Guizhou Army and the reactionary militia were stationed in Jianhe County, our regiment immediately marched in a hurry, preparing to storm Jianhe County. Unexpectedly, when our troops arrived at the county seat, the enemy had begun to flee, and our regiment immediately occupied Jianhe County."
"It is known from the prisoners' confessions that the main force of Wang Jialie's 25th Army is still in Tongren, Jinping, Taiqian, Sansui, and Rongjiang with almost no troops guarding it. According to combat observations, the Guizhou Army has a weak will to fight. Compared with the Hunan Army and Guangxi Army,
