Today, China is sad, and the whole country is mourning! Let us mourn our compatriots who have suffered the Zhouqu mudslide disaster!!! In the face of the great nature, we should live a long and fear the small heart, and in the face of natural disasters, we should always have compassion and love!!!

After a lot of twists and turns, a small team led by Zhou Gangshan finally dropped the enemy's division command one and a half hours after the battle began, and captured the division commander Wu Chengren alive. It laid the foundation for the overall victory of the battle.

A small team led by Hong Tianqiang and Ma Wanhao also killed two enemy brigade units after some twists and turns.

The divisional troops of the Third Regiment and the Supplementary First Regiment were also very brave and tenacious. It was precisely because of their timely division that the enemy was unable to be looked after each other, laying the foundation for the smooth progress of the battle.

In the late stage of the battle, Su Yu also devoted the reserve teams such as the Supplementary Second Regiment, mainly new recruits, and the training camp, mainly composed of former Kuomintang surrendered officers, to the battlefield, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The battle was over 5 o'clock in the evening and was coming to an end.

The soldiers of the 19th Division began to pursue the scattered soldiers and yelled in the battlefield.

At this time, six Kuomintang planes emerged from the clouds and saw the chaotic battlefield and complex mountainous terrain. They circled in the air for a few circles, found a few places, and threw some bombs.

Two planes rushed to the front of our first regiment position with a fierce momentum and fired wildly at our army with airborne machine guns.

Just in time, Xunhuaizhou came to a regiment of positions to observe the battlefield.

Seeing the enemy's plane diving, Xunhuaizhou was very calm. The enemy's airborne machine gun failed to sweep Xunhuaizhou, but was caught by Xunhuaizhou, and fired with a machine gun and hit the fuel tank of one of the planes.

After the plane was hit by the fuel tank, a string of black smoke blew in the air and hit the cliff in the distance, shattering it.

The other planes quickly pulled up the nose and ran away in shame.

Xunhuaizhou's actions of shooting down enemy planes made the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield cheer that shocked the sky.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, the battle here just ended, Xun Huaizhou ordered Zhou Gangshan and Hong Tianqiang to lead the special operations squadron to launch an overnight attack on Jingde County.

Jingde County is located in the mountainous area of ​​southern Anhui and is connected to the famous tourist holy land of Huangshan. Jingde County was established in the second year of Baoying in the Tang Dynasty (763 AD) and has a history of more than 1,200 years. The county is named Jingde, and it is dedicated to Zhangyang Zhade and educate the people of the county.

Since ancient times, the people of Jingde valued education and were very good at literature and had many talents. Shu Ya, the top scholar in the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a famous Yukun style poet. He was ordered to participate in more than ten classics and collected the great achievements of China's agricultural affairs.

A businessman Tan Zizhang donated 20,000 taels of silver to establish Yuzhang Academy in Yangchuan to promote education.

Jingde has beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are many natural and cultural landscapes. The Jingde Confucian Temple, which was built in the Chongning year of Beining (1102 AD), and the Jiangcun father and son Jinshifang, and the Pugong Temple are all famous cultural relics.

The second largest stone bridge in southern Anhui, the Lecheng Bridge of Jingde Sanxi, Qiao Ting's writing style, Shifeng, Xinglong Biaoling Tower and other beautiful decorations, which are beautiful in the mountains and rivers and the simple folk customs.

Xunhuaizhou had learned from the prisoners that since the 49th Division left Jingde County, it first went to the Tanjiaqiao area.

After the Red Army was transferred, it followed the Red Army to the north of Jingxian County.

Now, there are still two battalions of Zhejiang Security Regiment left to defend the city, which can be said to be very empty.

Therefore, Xunhuaizhou decided to send a special combat squadron to attack Jingde County overnight, and the large army could be transferred to Jingde County in the morning tomorrow.

The 19th Division's continuous combat in the past few days has reached its limit, and the soldiers' nerves that are tense and about to break must be relaxed.

After Zhou Gangshan and Hong Tianqiang and others set off, Xunhuaizhou turned around and returned to the front command post of the 19th Division.

Xunhuaizhou entered the division command post, but did not find Su Yu, Wang Ruchi, Li Shubin and others.

Only after asking the staff of the division headquarters did we know that the battle was brilliant, and there were many prisoners and seizures. Therefore, the division leaders have all gone to the grassroots team to guide the troops to reorganize prisoners and clean up the battlefield.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the staff members initially calculated the results of the battle. The staff members quickly handed over the casualties of the 19th Division and the seizure of prisoners to Xunhuaizhou.

The statistics made Xunhuaizhou, who had the iron will, feel heartbreaking pain. In this battle, the 19th Division suffered more than 2,400 casualties, including more than 900 people, more than 600 people seriously injured, and more than 800 people slightly injured.

These deaths are the most precious soldiers of the 19th Division, especially many of the veteran Red Army soldiers, which makes Xun Huaizhou feel heartbroken.

One by one, one living life died in a civil war that should not have been fought and died in the domestic battlefield. There was no chance to gallop on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War and fight bravely to fight the enemy.

After careful arrangement and sudden attacks, the entire battle also caused such great casualties to the 19th Division, which made Xunhuaizhou also realize many of the shortcomings of the 19th Division itself.

Next, I should be able to settle for a while. I should also train troops for the 19th Division, Xun Huaizhou thought to myself.

The land captures of this battle were also very large, and the battle wiped out all the personnel of the enemy's 49th Division.

Among them, more than 2,600 enemies were killed, more than 1,100 seriously injured, and more than 1,200 slightly injured.

In addition to the wounded, a total of more than 9,800 prisoners were captured, and only more than 200 escaped from the battlefield.

As for the battlefield capture, there were even more shockingly many, which made Xun Huaizhou feel a little relieved. This time the capture can almost be equipped with a whole division, how can Xun Huaizhou not feel relieved?

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Su Yu, Wang Ruchi and Li Shubin returned to the division headquarters one after another.

As soon as Su Yu and the others saw Xun Huaizhou, they all rushed forward excitedly.

Especially Su Yu, he was extremely excited and held Xun Huaizhou's hand tightly.

Su Yu's actions made Xun Huaizhou feel a little surprised.

Su Yu is a calm and restrained person. It’s not because of such a victory that Su Yu became so excited today, right?

At this time, Su Yu told Xunhuaizhou about the enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Liping and the resolution of the Liping meeting made.

At the same time, he also told him that the Red Tenth Army is now directly under the central leadership, and Xunhuaizhou has been restored to the position of commander of the 19th Division.

Finally, Su Yu specifically told Xun Huaizhou that the central leader is now very concerned about the operations of the Red Tenth Army and the 19th Division. The recent combat plans and operations of the 19th Division have been reported to the Red Tenth Army and the Central Leaders truthfully every day by Su Yu.

Hearing such news made people like Xun Huaizhou who were extremely determined also feel excited.

My idea when I was sending that telegram was indeed realized, and it seemed to be the most ideal result, which is really exciting.

But now I am still in the battlefield environment, and it is not the time to celebrate excitedly.

Therefore, Xun Huaizhou immediately discussed with Su Yu, Wang Ruchi and others about arranging the settlement of prisoners and transferring the battlefield.

When Su Yu heard that Xun Huaizhou had arranged a special combat squadron to attack Jingde County, he couldn't help but admire Xun Huaizhou's step-by-step thinking.

Everyone quickly agreed that the 19th Red Division would escort the wounded, escort the prisoners and seize them and move towards Jingde County overnight.

Before leaving, Xun Huaizhou telegraphed the Military Commission and the Red Tenth Army that he had joined forces with the 19th Division and had re-exerted the functions of the commander of the 19th Division.

In the telegram, Xunhuaizhou promptly reported to the Military Commission and the 10th Red Army a brief report on the battle situation of the 19th Division's total annihilation of the enemy's 49th Division, and his plan to send troops to occupy Jingde County.

Xunhuaizhou made suggestions to the Red Ten Army, suggesting that only a small number of troops be left in the urban and rural areas of Jingxian and Qingyang, actively mobilize the masses and establish a red regime,

The main forces of the Red Tenth Army Corps, the 20th Division and the 21st Division quickly turned towards Jingde, and the entire army planned to rest and rest in Jingde.

At around nine o'clock at night, Xun Huaizhou led the soldiers of the Forward Battalion of the 19th Division to head to Jingde County first. At around ten o'clock at night, Su Yu and Wang Ruchi led the main force of the 19th Division to escort the prisoners and seized them to Jingde County.

Before leaving, Xunhuaizhou also went to the health center to visit the wounded.

When Xun Huaizhou heard about the deeds of Yang Ergou from Wang Ruchi, he went to Yang Ergou's bedside at the health center to comfort this very brave surrender soldier.

Yang Ergou, who had just woken up from a serious injury coma, seemed very excited. He wanted to lift up his very weak body, but Xun Huaizhou gently pressed him on the bed with his hands.

Xun Huaizhou wishes him a quick recovery and strives to return to the battlefield as soon as possible, and encourages him to make new contributions to the Red Army. Xun's commander's words made Yang Ergou, who later became a senior commander in our army, remember it in his heart and became a topic of memory for his whole life.

Xun Huaizhou also specifically instructed the division's health team captain Wang Zhengming to treat Yang Ergou at all costs.

At the same time, Xun Huaizhou instructed Li Shubin, the director of the political department who accompanied the visit to the wounded, to organize Yang Ergou's deeds into materials so that all the commanders and soldiers of the division would publicize it.

When Xun Huaizhou visited the wounded and prepared to lead the soldiers in the forefront camp to set off, Zhou Gangshan and Hong Tianqiang had already led the special operations squadron to approach Jingde County.

Zhou Gangshan and Hong Tianqiang led the special operations squadron alone for the first time, but they were both full of energy and had to fight the battle of curious attack on Jingde.

Zhou Gangshan and Hong Tianqiang strictly followed Xunhuaizhou's teachings and led the special operations squadron along the way to train and advance. In many training subjects, Zhou Gangshan was even more demanding than the division commander's requirements, which made the soldiers complain one by one.

However, no one complained about it, but when they were training, they all completed the task without fail. Even a few physically unbearable, they gritted their teeth and persevered, and barely completed all the training subjects.

The commander has brought everyone to fight so many beautiful battles in the past few days, which has completely convinced Zhou Gangshan and Hong Tianqiang.

The members of the special combat squadron, trained by the division commander's novel and tormenting special training methods, had undergone earth-shaking changes in each team member in just a few days, including the two of them.
