Predator Reborn

Chapter 18: Reoccupy Xing'an ("")

In the dark night, a strange team marched silently, with the frontline pointing directly at Xing'an. There were no torches, no voices, only the breathing of the soldiers and the whirring of the horses...

One mile in front of the team is still the platoon that Liu Hua is proud of and has been promoted to the reconnaissance company. It is an old reconnaissance platoon of the Red 10th Regiment and has rich combat experience.

Liu Xiaogang led his dozens of soldiers, constantly changing their formations and alternately covering their advance. Soon, the faint outline of a county wall appeared in their field of vision.

From time to time, groups of patrolling soldiers passed by on the city wall. Every few meters, a torch was erected, illuminating the city wall brightly. This was the city of Xing'an County. Liu Xiaogang couldn't help but shook his head when he saw how tightly the enemy was defending.

"First platoon leader, you continue to explore the enemy's situation. I will go to the regimental leader to report the situation. Be careful not to alert the enemy." Liu Xiaogang reminded.

"Commander, the reconnaissance platoon has arrived at the foot of Xing'an City. The reconnaissance company's platoon is hiding under the city. The enemy in the county is very tightly defended. It seems that there is a regiment defending the county."

"Political Commissar, it seems that the enemy was frightened by our last sneak attack. The defensive force has actually increased to a regiment. The Hunan Army really thinks highly of us and sent us weapons again, haha..." After listening to Xiaogang's report, the regiment leader

, said to acting political commissar Li Qing with a smile.

"Captain, after all, the enemy is a whole regiment, we cannot underestimate the enemy!" Although Li Qing admired Liu Hua very much, after all, the enemy was a regiment, so he still cautiously reminded Liu Hua.

Liu Hua looked at the political commissar's serious look and stopped laughing, thinking quietly.

"Captain, why don't we go around Xing'an County?" Li Qing reminded, looking at the frowning commander.

"Bypass, why? That's a regiment's equipment! Don't give it up. Besides, we didn't make any money last time we went to Xing'an. You must know that what our army lacks is funds. Xing'an is a rich county, and it has not been invaded by the Red Army.

If you have occupied it, you will definitely be rich."

Looking at Liu Hua's greedy eyes, Li Qing almost laughed out loud. Is this what the leader of the main force said? It's simply...

"Commander, tell me how to fight! That's an enemy group!" Li Qing cleared his mind and reminded.

"It's still a sneak attack. Aren't there many National Army soldiers among our prisoners and among the many new soldiers who have just joined the Red Army? We pretended to be a battalion of the 112th Regiment of the Central Army and escorted the prisoners of the Communist Army. You know, we know them

We are the Central Army and are afraid of them. After entering the city, Chen Revolutionary's Second Battalion mainly went to arrest the county magistrate, police chief and others. Many people in their battalion were familiar with Xing'an, and the others worked with me to surround the enemy.

The legion headquarters and troops should disarm as much as possible, and those who resist will be subject to battlefield discipline."

"The sneak attack force will use the guard company and the reconnaissance company, all of which will be changed into Central Army uniforms, and the prisoners will be the wounded of our army. They will be executed immediately and will gather two miles outside the city in half an hour. The other troops will enter immediately after taking care of the troops on the city wall.

City, try not to use guns during sneak attacks."

Watching several battalion commanders walking away one by one, Liu Hua suddenly shouted, "Chen Gegeru will stay here for a moment."

Seeing Liu Hua clearly laying out the tasks in such a short period of time, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "What a rare general!"

"Political commissar! Political commissar! What's wrong?" Looking at the dazed political commissar, Liu Hua patted Li Qing on the shoulder and reminded him.

"Uh, it's okay! It's okay! Captain, is there something wrong?" Li Qing reacted sheepishly.

"Political Commissar, there is really something we need you to do!"

"Captain, just tell me if you have anything to say!" Li Qing looked at Liu Hua and said seriously.

"Political Commissar, the second battalion will arrest the county magistrate and others in a moment. I want you to follow the second battalion. After catching those people, you must dig up the floating wealth and spit out all the money they squeezed from the fellow villagers. All the silver coins

If the gold is kept, I will leave it to you for safekeeping, bring part of the food with you, and give the rest to the people. After the war, I will select some soldiers to form a heavy company, and you will be the agent first. How about it?"

"Captain, promise to complete the mission?" Li Qing said excitedly. You must know how important funds are to the Red Army. Since the commander entrusted it to him, it means that the commander did not regard himself as an acting political commissar as a decoration, but a real

If you believe in yourself, can you not be excited?

Looking at the guard company and reconnaissance company in front of him who had changed their equipment, Liu Hua loudly ordered

"Everyone is here, running and walking."

"Platoon leader, look, a group of people are running over there!" A soldier standing on the city wall shouted to the platoon leader who was keeping warm in the gatehouse.

"It's so cold that no one can sleep, so what's the matter? If you lie about the military situation, I'll see how I can deal with you!" He cursed as he walked.

"Platoon leader, look, the ones holding torches are almost at the city gate." The soldier saw the platoon leader coming up and pointed quickly.

"It's wordy, I'm not blind. There are so many torches, I can't see them." The platoon leader looked through the telescope on duty. He saw a group of soldiers wearing uniforms of the Central Army running towards this side neatly.

The platoon leader was startled and shouted quickly: "Come out of the city and see what's going on?" He ran away as he spoke. He didn't want to provoke the Central Army. You know, the Central Army is a direct descendant of President Chiang Kai-shek. We can't provoke him.

Sorry.

Seeing the soldiers of the Central Army stopped, the platoon leader rushed to greet them and said, "I don't know what's wrong, sir. What's the point of being here?"

The platoon leader looked at the battalion commander leading the team and said flatteringly.

"We are from the 112th Regiment of the Central Army. We were ordered by the regiment to escort some prisoners to Xing'an County for guarding. We will escort them back after the war is over. Our main force has already crossed the river to pursue the Communist army. We hope that I will be accommodating." Liu

Hua replied with a smile.

"Where! Where, it turns out to be brothers from the 112th Regiment, please come in quickly." Looking at the Communist prisoners they were escorting, the platoon leader's eyes went straight. You know, a Communist prisoner is now captured.

, but there are many people offering silver rewards, but I can only drool.

Just as the platoon leader was drooling and thinking, he didn't know that Liu Hua's reconnaissance platoon had quietly surrounded the Hunan troops on duty, waiting for the order from his regiment commander.

When Liu Hua saw that his men were in place, he immediately turned around and fired the gun of the platoon leader who was stunned on the spot. The platoon leader felt that he was being attacked and was about to scream when a pistol was pressed against his mouth.

The battalion commander who could look at the Central Army with horrified eyes wondered whether the Hunan Army was fighting with the Central Army again. The answer was soon revealed.

"We are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. You have been surrounded. Please surrender immediately." Liu Hua shouted loudly.

"Hurry, put down your weapons," the platoon leader, who was held up by Liu Hua with a gun, said urgently. He was deeply afraid that his life would be lost because of the displeasure of the Communist commander, so he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates.

Liu Hua looked at the platoon leader's understanding, took away his pistol, and said with a smile.

"Not bad. Do any of you want to make atonement for your sins? If you finish the work for me, each of you will receive ten dollars." After hearing what the Red Army officer said, the prisoners of the Hunan Army immediately showed greedy eyes and agreed immediately.

Soon, all the troops were assigned several prisoners. Under their leadership, the troops occupied various key points in the city with ease.

Under the leadership of the prisoners, Lao Sun and others quickly surrounded the military camp. Looking at the Hunan Army's military camp, Lao Sun sighed: "The Hunan Army has not been hurt yet, but there is not even a sentry patrolling the military camp.

"

This is not because the Hunan Army was careless. After all, they were in the rear area, and there were city walls and patrols on the city walls. Even if they came for a sneak attack, they had time to prepare, so they did not arrange sentries. After dinner, they all went back to camp to rest.

How could Lao Sun and others give up such a good opportunity? Immediately assign tasks to the company.

Soon, the military camp was easily occupied by Lao Sun and others. In many places, all the weapons were confiscated before the enemy even woke up. Faced with the dark muzzles, they had no choice but to surrender. But in some places, fierce battles also occurred.

The gun battle turned out to be that many people from the middle section of the Sixth Battalion, Chen Dazhong, were originally prisoners. During the sneak attack, they made a noise and were discovered by the enemy, so they started fighting. It was not until the last battalion came for reinforcements that the enemy was eliminated.

In this battle, one enemy regiment was wiped out, more than 400 people were killed, more than 800 people were captured, and countless weapons and ammunition were seized. Looking at the piles of weapons and ammunition, Lao Sun Zhao Dahe thought nothing of it, because they followed Liu Hua and saw a lot, but the new appointment

Several battalion commanders were excited. This was the first time they had seen victory since the Long March, and the first time they had seen so many captures! From then on, they admired Liu Hua even more, and eventually became his subordinates.

general.

At this time, Liu Hua led the security company and reconnaissance company, led by the Hunan Army platoon leader, and went straight to the regiment headquarters. At this time, the leader of the Hunan Army, Hu Jun, was sleeping soundly holding a local girl sent by the local county magistrate. Suddenly, he was

A burst of gunfire woke me up.

"Commander, commander, it's bad, the Central Army has entered the city!" A staff officer hurried into Hu Jun's bedroom, forgetting to even knock on the door.

"What, what did you say, the Central Army invaded?" The regiment leader looked at the staff member doubtfully.

"Commander, unfortunately, the Central Army is attacking us. The gunfire just now was in the direction of the military camp. I just saw a battalion of the Central Army running towards the regiment headquarters." The staff officer explained in detail.

"What, a battalion? Let the guard company defend, hurry up!" Just as Hu Jun was yelling, a sound of "knock" was heard in his ears.

"Don't move. If you don't kill me if you surrender your gun, you are surrounded." Hu Jun raised his head and saw the black muzzles pointing at him. The one holding the gun was a soldier of the Central Army.

"I don't know which department your unit belongs to? Why are you attacking the Hunan Army?" Hu Jun asked the soldier holding the gun in a low voice with interest.

"We are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. We will not kill until we surrender our guns."

After hearing these words, Hu Jun fainted.
