Concentrate and intercept the main force of the red bandits and make them

They were not allowed to flee to the south of Sichuan; ordered Xue Yue to leave the more tired troops to guard Guiyang, and led the main force to urge the Yunnan Army and the newly reorganized Guizhou Army to quickly march towards Zunyi; ordered the reinforcements Tang Enbo and other troops who had arrived at the south bank of Wujiang River to forcibly cross the Wujiang River to cooperate with Xue Yue to capture Zunyi.

After receiving the order, Liu Xiang thought about it and realized that this was really what happened. Why did the main regiments of the Red Bandits come to this small place like Tucheng? Isn't it just to cross Chishui into southern Sichuan? Is this really worth it? He immediately ordered Pan Wenhua to gather 11

The troops of the brigade are advancing to attack Tucheng. The battle must be fought on the east bank of Chishui River and strive to eliminate the Red Bandits near Tucheng. At least they must be forced back to Zunyi and the Central Army, the Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army can quickly encircle them.

Pan Wenhua can be regarded as an outstanding figure in the Sichuan Army and has held important positions. This man is not tall, has a round face, and wears myopia. He is 48 years old. He is the first mayor in the history of Chongqing and is a famous military and political double-dealer in the Sichuan Army.

, deeply trusted by Liu Xiang.

After receiving Liu Xiang's telegram, he also saw the Red Bandits' intentions, and immediately ordered the four brigades of the teaching division in Zheng'an and Tongzi to pursue the Red Bandits in the direction of Tucheng at a rapid marching speed; he ordered the remaining brigades and the first division of the teaching division to pursue the Red Bandits.

Each brigade of the Fifth Division left Chishui to attack Tucheng, and ordered a brigade living in Xuyong to cross the Chishui River to stop the red bandits. For a time, the small Tucheng became the focus of attention of Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Xiang, Pan Wenhua, Xue Yue and others.

At this time, no one, whether it was Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Xiang, or Pan Wenhua, thought of what would happen to Gulin County, which was far away from Tucheng, adjacent to Xuyong, and located dozens of miles on the west bank of the Chishui River.

Gulin is located on the southernmost edge of Sichuan, on the north side of the western section of Dalou Mountain in the Wumeng Mountain System in the transition zone between the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The whole county extends into northern Guizhou in the shape of a peninsula, and is a typical mid- to low-mountainous terrain in the mountains around the basin.

At 3 a.m. on the 31st, the special warfare detachment of the Central Guard Division arrived at the east gate of Gulin County.

The county seat is not large, but the city walls are relatively strong.

Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Dahu crawled 200 meters away from the city gate. After a moment's observation, they found that the city gate was tightly closed, and the two security guards standing guard on the city tower were yawning and swimming back and forth. There were no people around.

At other sentry posts, it is estimated that the soldiers of the security regiment guarding the city gate are sleeping.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded. Wang Tongsheng made a gesture, and his snipers stepped forward to take cover, pointing their guns at the sentries on the tower.

Wang Dahu crawled back. On the hillside behind him, a battalion of mortars had been set up, ready to bombard the tower at any time.

Li Lingfeng issued an order to Wang Laohu's squadron. Wang Laohu led his team members to crawl forward. When they reached about 30 meters below the city wall, the two soldiers took off the bows and arrows on their backs. Only two sounds of "swish, swish" were heard, and the tower

The two sentries on top fell limply on the crenellations of the city wall.

Wang Laohu gave the order to advance, and the team members quickly ran to the city wall. The iron grips in their hands flew out and were firmly fastened to the city wall. The team members pulled the rope and climbed up slowly. After a while, they reached the city wall.

superior.

Then, Zhao Zhiyu Squadron and Zhao Yonggang Squadron climbed up the city wall one after another, leaving Zhao Zhiyu Squadron to control the city tower and wall and provide fire support. Wang Laohu and Zhao Yonggang led their squadrons and separately went to the security team checkpoints and barracks guarding the city gate.

Wang Dahu stared nervously at the figures of the special forces members. It was not until he saw the special forces members killing the sentries on the tower and climbing up the city wall that he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and waved, and the company quietly marched toward the city in the infantry squad's attack formation.

Touch the door.

The city gate opened, and the first company entered Gulin County. Then the second company, the third company, the fire support company and Wang Tongsheng's sniper brigade all entered the county.

The special forces team members have briefly interrogated the prisoners. There is only one security regiment in the county, consisting of three battalions, with less than 1,000 people, guarding several city gates respectively. The regiment headquarters is located in the old county government office, co-locating with the county magistrate.

After a brief discussion, Li Lingfeng decided to leave one detachment of the sniper team to control the east gate. The first detachment of the Wang Dahu Squadron of the special operations team would cooperate with a detachment of the sniper brigade to control the north gate. The second detachment would cooperate with a detachment of the sniper brigade to control the south gate. The third detachment would cooperate with

One detachment of the sniper brigade controlled the west gate. The other two squadrons and the remaining members of the sniper brigade cooperated with the first battalion to eliminate the three battalions of the security group in three groups. Six more people were selected from the prisoners and given to them at a price of five oceans each.

Troops lead the way.

It went very smoothly, not a single shot was fired, and nearly a thousand soldiers of the security group became prisoners of the special operations detachment in a daze in their sleep.

By the time Liu Yimin led the guard division into Gulin County, Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Dahu had already finished interrogating the Gulin County Magistrate, the security chief, and the police chief. The salt tax of 60,000 oceans stored in the county government had also been completed by the soldiers.

Seized.

Liu Yimin ordered the troops to rest in Gulin for two hours. Two hours later, the special operations detachment all changed into security regiment uniforms and attacked Xuyong. The remaining security regiment uniforms were given to a regiment to change and follow the special operations detachment to provide support.

One company of the Seventh Regiment was left to guard the prisoners and receive the troops of the First Regiment. The other troops followed the First Regiment.

Zhou Yi, the leader of the new corps, asked Liu Yimin if the soldiers from the security regiment could be included in the management of the new corps. Liu Yimin refused straight away and told him directly that no, there were many prisoners in front of him, and there were many recruits, and these prisoners were left to the first corps to deal with.

Zhou Yi was full of expectations but also very disappointed. He felt uncomfortable all over.

After receiving the telegram message that the guard division had successfully captured Gulin, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De suppressed their ecstatic mood and immediately ordered the first army and the first division waiting by the Chishui River to set off and quickly take over Gulin. The order was issued after dawn for the ninth army.

Attack on Chishui to further confuse the Sichuan army. After 12 noon, be sure to break away from contact with the enemy and quickly

Conceal and return south. If the Sichuan enemy pursues urgently, lead them to Loushanguan. After implementing a blockade, throw away the enemy and advance towards Renhuai. If the Sichuan enemy stagnates, advance to Maotai, cross the Chishui River, catch up with the main force, and enter
