Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

As for his final destination, Li Jue joined the ranks of the people. As early as after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Jue neglected the civil war. He was dismissed from the military by Gu Zhutong. He was transferred to the director of the Chongqing Branch of the Central Training Corps of the Kuomintang and the president joined the army. In 1949, Li Jue was appointed deputy commander of the First Corps. He actively worked between the Hunan and Guangxi warlords. Together with Cheng Qian, Tang Shengzhi, Chen Mingren and other senior Hunan generals, he held a peaceful uprising in Hunan. After the founding of New China. Li Jue successively served as deputy commander of the 21st Corps of the People's Liberation Army, senior counselor of the Central and South Military Region, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee. He enjoyed his old age peacefully.

At this time, the commander of the 19th Hunan Division, Li Jue, who later transferred to the ranks of the people, was still urging his troops to move forward. He set foot on Xiaoshui for the second time with the intention of chasing and annihilating the Red Army.

Last night, I contacted Zhang Liangji, Tao Guang and other troops. I learned that both divisions had arrived at the scheduled location and had engaged the Red Bandits one after another. At present, they have repelled the Red Bandits and are in pursuit. Li Jue believes that when his troops When inserted into the side of the Red Bandits from here, it will definitely have the same huge impact on the Sixth Red Army when it marched into Xiaoshui last time. It will have the same unexpected effect on the Red Bandits in the center, thereby severely attacking or even annihilating those Red Bandits. Therefore. When his troops were divided into two columns and entered Xiaoshui, where they had defeated the Sixth Army of the Red Bandits a few months ago, his mentality was extremely peaceful. However, this peace did not last long. Violent bullets and bullets rang out all around. Explosion.

Li Jue, who had experienced many battles, knew immediately that his troops had been ambushed. And they must be red bandits.

Li Jue jumped off the horse as soon as he was in the army. He pulled out his pistol while still in the air. He thought to himself: It seems that the red bandits are coming for revenge.

Li Jue guessed correctly. It was Li Jiansheng's troops, the Seventh Red Army, who ambushed him.

Li Jue rolled off his horse when the first gunshot was fired and took out his pistol. But the guards around him were not so lucky. Most of them were shot through the head by bullets. The white brains and blood were mixed in Together, it was sprayed on his war horse. It was disgusting to watch.

Li Jue immediately knew that there were experts among the red bandits who ambushed his troops on both sides of the mountain. Someone shot him with a cold gun. He did not dare to be too confident. He immediately used his war horse to cover himself. Then he looked at a stone protrusion under the cliff for support. He dodged and hid from the object. The stone just blocked him. As soon as he hid his body, several bullets hit the stone in succession, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

Li Jue hid behind the stone and looked to the opposite side. He didn't know when a long heavy machine gun stretched out from the forest on the opposite side. The muzzle of the gun was spitting tongues of fire at his 19th Division. Hearing the sound of gunfire, there were countless Czech light machine guns. and submachine guns firing.

What kind of unit of the Red Army is this? The firepower is so powerful. Just when he was about to call the messenger to order the troops to lie down on the spot, he heard a "hissing" sound coming from above his head. He knew that it was the sound of a group of grenades about to fall. A Hunan Army soldier had just taken off his gun. Before he turned on the safety, he heard the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff" ringing around him. He knew that it was the sound of machine gun bullets entering the human body. He looked around. There was no one standing around him anymore. He let out a strange cry of "Oh my God" and ran towards the flat ground beside the road. But before he could run two steps, a grenade next to him exploded and he was blown up into the air. He saw his right leg flying out of his body. He didn't feel any pain. He just landed. Because his right leg was missing, he staggered and fell to the ground. Another grenade exploded next to him. There was only a hole in this one. The Hunan Army soldier, whose eyes were fixed on the clouds in the sky, was blown into three pieces before he could even grunt or even feel the pain.

Li Jue didn't see this scene, but he saw his soldiers falling in pieces. He knew that he had encountered a master this time. Maybe his division and himself would be sent here this time. This was obviously not in line with his style. He almost stopped thinking about it. Li Jue dodged a few times and dodged the bullets fired at him. Then he came to the side of his own horse that had been killed. He looked at some soldiers not far away. One of them had a machine gun on hand. However, these soldiers were suppressed by the bullets of the red bandits and could not raise their heads. Li Jue glanced around and picked up a rifle from the dead guard soldier. With the gun He shot towards the machine gunner of the Red Bandit on the opposite side. As soon as his gun fired, the machine gun of the Red Bandit over there stopped immediately. From the corner of his eye, he could see that the heavy machine gunner who was shooting at him tilted to the side. He Knowing that he had succeeded, he looked at the ammunition feeder next to the machine gun and pushed the soldier he had hit behind, took the machine gun and continued shooting. Then he fired another shot. The red bandit only fired two shots before he was knocked down.

After firing this shot, Li Jue felt bad. He flew away from the horse. Sure enough, his two shots had attracted the attention of the red bandits. Several machine guns and sniper rifles were coming towards him. He had just The place where he was hiding was immediately smashed to pieces by the bullets of the red bandits. Li Jue took advantage of this rare opportunity to make a few leaps and get to his subordinates. He didn't care whether the soldier was qualified or not. He grabbed the machine gun and started shooting at the Red Bandits on the opposite side. He saw his division commander firing the machine gun himself. The soldiers around him suddenly got up and quickly organized firepower to counterattack the Red Bandits. With the solid foundation they established Position. More and more Hunan Army soldiers began to rely on physical resistance. The two sides were fighting inextricably. Some Red Army soldiers who had just charged were hit by Li Jue's troops. They fell to the ground in batches. Li Jiansheng looked at the position of the 46th Regiment. After hearing this, I was heartbroken. I immediately called the phone and scolded the two division commanders of the 16th and 19th divisions bloody. The two division commanders quickly issued orders. The soldiers of the Seventh Red Army temporarily buffered the advance. They only stopped to rely on trenches and bunkers. Attacking the enemy. Despite this, the Red Army still injured more than 700 people.

The two sides were in a stalemate. The fight lasted more than two hours. Li Jiansheng sighed. Li Jue was indeed well-declared. He really did a good job in organizing the battle. Their soldiers were also well-trained and fought methodically. They allowed themselves a moment. He couldn't succeed. Li Jue, who was in the center of the position, breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he also sighed. There are some characters among the red bandits. It can be seen that this organization's ambush was very good and well organized. If it weren't for his own troops It has considerable combat effectiveness. If it were any other unit, it would have collapsed long ago.

They did not say that the two men who admired each other were organizing forces to attack the enemy in an all-round way. Instead, they said that the two divisions of Xia Wei's 15th Army of the Guangxi Army had been attacking the enemy for several days in a row. At this time, they suddenly received a telegram from Liu Jianxu of the Hunan Army, saying that they had deployed troops. Li Jueshi was besieged by the red bandits and was in danger. He asked for support. He just finished reading this telegram. The telegram from Chairman Chiang came again, but asked him to rush to rescue immediately. Orders from the two commanders Li and Bai also came. Let Xia Wei's troops participate in the battle. After receiving the order from the three parties, Xia Wei immediately ordered his troops to rush to Xiaoshui. Fortunately, his 78th Division was not too far from Xiaoshui. It could be reached in three hours of urgent travel. He immediately rushed to Xiaoshui. Rushing for reinforcements. At the same time, under the order of Chairman Chiang, only 24 aircraft of the Central Army, and under the order of He Jian, all 10 aircraft of the Hunan Army took off to participate in the battle and bombed Li Jiansheng's troops.

Seeing that more than three hours had passed since the battle between the two sides, Li Jiansheng knew that it was impossible to completely annihilate the division this time. He estimated that the enemy's reinforcements would arrive soon. Fortunately, according to current estimates. Li Jue's Xiang 19th Division is now disabled. As long as he is given another hour, he can guarantee that this division will be completely annihilated. But he knows that the enemy's planes will come over soon, which may cause his own harm. The troops suffered heavy losses. As expected, enemy planes appeared in the sky within a short time. Fortunately, Li Jiansheng's troops had conducted training to fight against enemy planes. At this moment, soldiers immediately opened fire on the enemy planes. But this immediately weakened the attack on Li Jiansheng. The firepower of Jue's headquarters. Although four enemy planes were shot down, Li Jiansheng's headquarters suffered greater losses. After a while, political commissar Luo Ronghuan called and said that the reserve team had engaged the Gui army. Although he believed that the secret service regiment and the guard regiment However, Li Jiansheng felt that in this way, his troops would fight on two fronts at the same time. It would not be good if they were stuck by the enemy. It would be better to give up voluntarily. Fortunately, his strategic purpose was achieved. There is nothing wrong with voluntarily withdrawing from the battlefield. Think about it carefully. After thinking about it, his unit has actually won this battle. It is impossible and unnecessary to waste it with the enemy like this. Moreover, it will be detrimental to his unit to continue to waste it. After thinking about it, Li Jiansheng finally gave the order decisively: the whole army Withdrew from the battle immediately. He also ordered the 46th Regiment of the 16th Division and the 55th Regiment of the 19th Division to serve as rearguards and alternately cover the retreat of the main force. The 47th Regiment was ordered to immediately rush to the rescue of the reserve force and then retreat alternately with the reserve force.

Since there was a plan in advance, each division and regiment strictly carried out the order. An hour later, all members of Li Jiansheng's troops withdrew from the two-front battle, merged their forces, and headed directly to the north.

When Xia Wei's two divisions connected with Li Jue's 19th Division, both armies suffered heavy losses. Xia Wei's Gui Army lost another regiment. After the 19th Division was reorganized, no more than 2,500 troops could stand. Among them, a surprising number of more than 6,800 soldiers have died. The rest are lightly or seriously wounded.

This is a full division. There are more than 11,000 people in the division. If you add the regiments of the Gui Army, the total loss is still more than 10,000 people, which is equivalent to a reorganized division.

Both Xia Wei and Li Jue broke out in a cold sweat afterward. They all lamented the battle. Later they found out that this was Li Jiansheng's Seventh Red Army. They all ordered their troops and prepared to meet this army next time. Be careful. They both agreed that Li Jiansheng was the "number one tough guy" among the red bandits.

What Li Jue didn't expect was that a few years later, Li Jiansheng and Li Jue cooperated with each other to fight the Japanese invaders. They had their first cooperation. Many years later, after the founding of New China, Li Jue and Li Jiansheng had more cooperation. Through more cooperation, the two became good friends in private. However, when talking about this big battle, both of them were a little lucky. They thought that if it weren't for the strength and speed of the Gui Army's reinforcements, and the main attacker Li Jiansheng did not want his troops to There were too many losses and they retreated voluntarily. The two of them never had this interaction, because there was only one outcome: Li Jiansheng's troops would hold on for another hour, and Li Jue's troops would be completely annihilated. Although Li Jiansheng was modest in his words, he was still secretive in his heart. I quite agree with him. He also thinks that Comrade Li Jue is a real famous general of the generation. He has vision and self-awareness. He dares to speak out about his shortcomings. It may be because of these things. Li Jiansheng later introduced Li Jue as a close friend and they had a close relationship. deep.
