Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

It seems as if there has never been a war in Yong'an City

It was very quiet in the middle of the night

"Tick-tock" "Tick-tock"

"when"

Zero point

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Continuous explosions broke the tranquility of Yong'an City

There were shouting sounds everywhere in the city.

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in Yongan City, as bright as day.

At this time, the sound of artillery fire was also heard at the west gate of Yong'an.

It's a mess. It's all messed up.

The streets were full of panicked Kuomintang soldiers, and it was unclear whether they were climbing the wall to fight or putting out the fire.

Running around like a headless fly

The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly: "Go!"

I saw several commandos rushing out from the houses on both sides of the east gate.

They held a bottle of wine in their hands, lit it, and threw it directly towards the east gate.

"Boom boom boom"

There were several more loud noises, and the fire instantly covered the entire East Gate.

Many national army soldiers were burning with flames and roaring madly.

The power of incendiary bombs is still strong

The soldiers guarding the East Gate could no longer bear the scorching flames and ran out of the city gate.

How could the commandos miss this opportunity?

From a high position, using the firelight, they began to shoot freely.

As more and more people rushed out of the east gate, the threat of counterattack grew

The Taoist whistled

All the commandos retreated quickly along the roof while firing.

Attracted the pursuit of most of the enemy

The remaining East Gate guards began to try to put out the fire

Captain Wang saw that the time was right.

He led 60 elite soldiers of the 19th Route Army to fight his way out

The 20-shot box gun and the continuous firepower caught the remaining East Gate guards off guard.

Captain Wang threw a grenade towards the east gate

After a loud bang, a deep pit was blown out on the ground.

Seven or eight nationalist soldiers were blown into the sky

Captain Wang was also startled.

The grenades given to them by the Dragon Blood Special Forces Brigade are several times more powerful than the grenades they usually use.

Battalion Commander Wang looked at the Kuomintang troops who had reacted and roared: "Throw grenades, we can't let the Kuomintang troops organize a counterattack!"

Most of the soldiers in the battalion guarding the east gate are new recruits who have been training for less than three months.

Where have you seen such a scene?

They retreated to both sides of the city gate

Captain Wang quickly led his men to the east gate, ignoring the raging fire at the entrance.

Roaring and shouting: "Open the east gate!"

Several soldiers of the 19th Route Army plunged into the sea of ​​fire

With the sound of "creaking" and "creaking", the heavy city gate was opened

The Dragon Blood Brigade's firepower team takes the lead

Everyone was holding a submachine gun or a light machine gun, firing everywhere

Following closely behind were two battalions of the Sushan Fourth Regiment.

Soon the soldiers guarding the east gate were wiped out.

Li Yan immediately ordered: "Su Shan, take a battalion of people to the west gate to support Zhao Wu and others."

"The rest of you follow me to the 83rd Division Headquarters."

Captain Wang had never met Li Yan, but seeing Li Yan giving orders, he immediately came over and asked, "I am Captain Wang Hua of the 19th Route Army."

"Excuse me, who is this officer?"

Li Yan looked at Captain Wang, who was covered in gunpowder, and said, "I am Li Yan, the captain of the Meishan detachment."

"Captain Wang, you have worked hard!"

When Captain Wang heard Li Yan's name, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, then shouted, "Nineteenth Route Army Wang Hua reports to the commander."

Li Yan nodded: "Captain Wang, now is not the time to talk"

"According to the plan, you should now send someone to contact the nearby 19th Route Army."

"Wait until the 83rd Division in the city is eliminated."

"We will hand over the entire Yong'an City to you"

After that, Li Yan led his men to the headquarters of the 83rd Division.

Battalion Commander Wang Hua looked at the excellent equipment of these Red Army soldiers and thought of the powerful fighting power of the Taoist priests.

I can't help but sigh that this is an army that cannot be defeated

Half an hour later

The troops attacking Yongan this time included the Mason's Artillery Battalion.

Now they are all gathered near the gate of the 83rd Division Headquarters

Zhao Wu asked: "Captain, have all the enemies outside been eliminated?"

Li Yan's face was serious, and he just nodded slightly.

His eyes were fixed on the battle ahead

Zhao Wu and Su Shan looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

The Taoist priest quickly explained: "This courtyard was the former government office of Yong'an. It's very large."

"Now serving as the headquarters of the 83rd Division, many fortifications have been set up."

"We launched several offensives, suffered heavy casualties, but were unable to capture this place."

......

Several people are getting to know each other

The attacking troops withdrew

Li Yan said this time: "Judging from the enemy's firepower"

"There is at least an elite enemy regiment here."

"There are also many light and heavy machine guns."

“It’s a tough nut to crack”

Zhao Wu said: "Why don't we ask the stonemasons to bring the cannon over?"

"Just blow down the walls around us"

“We can rush in.”

Li Yan shook his head: "There are houses everywhere here."

"Howitzers are powerful and can easily injure civilians by mistake."

"The enemy's headquarters and fortifications were all built with reinforced concrete"

"Our mortars are too small in caliber and have limited lethality."

"Using it for attacking is a waste of ammunition"

Leopard thought for a moment and said, "How about I take the Dragon Blood Special Operations Team and go in from the side?"

Li Yan shook his head again: "I have asked someone to investigate."

"The enemy's defense is like a tortoise shell, with fortifications built on the sides."

Having said this, Li Yan paused, pointed to a place in the distance and asked everyone, "What is that place?"

The Taoist said: "That is the enemy's granary."

"It rained heavily two days ago, and the grain warehouse is leaking."

“When we tried to set fire to the granary, we couldn’t get it to light no matter what we did.”

"Finally I had to find some gasoline and pour it on it, and it barely lit up."

"I guess the gasoline has burned out and the fire has died down."

Li Yan's eyes lit up and he said, "Since the enemy doesn't want to come out, I will let them come out on their own initiative."

Then he ordered: "Zhao Wu, take a group of people and follow Dai Ping to ambush at the back door."

"Su Shan, send someone to find some firewood and thatch."

"I don't want to do it"

"If you can't find it, sprinkle some water on the firewood."

“Half dry, half wet is best”

“Pulling some water back.”

"Taoist priests, do you know where to find some gasoline? Find some."

"Also, find some more large fans and chili powder, even if it costs money, I must get them."

Everyone was confused by this series of orders. Aren't they discussing how to capture the enemy headquarters?

Now there's firewood, water, and chili powder.

Could it be that the enemy has been fighting all day and didn't eat well?

The captain wants to cook to lure the enemy out to surrender

But dry firewood is better than wet firewood

Li Yan didn't explain, but raised his lips slightly and urged: "Hurry up!"

"I'll show you a good show later."
