In August 1934, the Red Sixth Army marched from the Xianggan border base area and advanced westward, planning to join the Red Second Army led by He Long and Guan Xiangying.
At first, the Kuomintang could not understand the intentions of the Red Sixth Army, and thought that they would play "hide-and-seek" as in the past this time, and that they would return to the base area after a circle. Therefore, the enemy did not pursue, but only after occupying the central area of Xianggan, there was a ride to "clear and suppress" the Red Army guerrillas.
When the Red Sixth Army went farther and farther, the enemy finally came back to life and sent a large number of troops to pursue wildly.
The head of the regiment immediately ordered the troops to advance west at full speed, shake off the enemy as soon as possible, and mobilize all commanders and fighters to "go and win is victory."
However, the high-intensity march that lasted for many days still brought no small problem to the troops, because the soldiers did not have enough time to rest, so that they lacked sleep, coupled with the very hot weather and the lack of enough food, making the physical strength of the soldiers unsustainable.
The soles of many warriors' feet were blistered, and even like bunches of white grapes, each step was very difficult.
It is conceivable that every time the march is late in the evening or at night, the one thing the soldiers look forward to most is undoubtedly to camp quickly, to camp quickly!
In the initial plan of the regimental commander, there was a clear arrangement for the daily marching destination, but as the enemy pursued more and more tightly, the troops could only flexibly choose the camp site according to the actual situation every day. This was called "Phase-Machine-Accommodation-Camp" in the orders of the Corps Headquarters at that time.
In fact, the word "camera" does not refer to any camera, but to "see the opportunity". Troop orders must be extremely fast and concise, and it is undoubtedly very well expressed in terms of "camera camping".
However, due to the generally low level of education of the warriors at that time, many people did not understand the exact meaning of the word "camera", so that an interesting thing was introduced.
When marching, the soldiers were very concerned about the daily camp, so they always inquired all the way. The closer they got to their destination, the happier the warriors naturally became. In order to stir up everyone's emotions, cadres at all levels of battalions, companies, and platoons will not hide their camp points from the soldiers.
At dawn, the second battalion and the fourth battalion of the Yongxin Regiment of the International Division of the Young Communist Party were connected to an urgent task: to detour to the Baishipu area, attract the enemy to pursue to the west, and then cross the Tiger Mountain to meet the large army of the north.
The reason why the regimental commander made such an arrangement was because they expected that in the eyes of the enemy, The White Stone Shop was a necessary place for the Red Army. Now only one company of troops was dispatched in a roundabout way, with the aim of containing the enemy's forces and covering the smooth march of the large troops from the other direction to the north.
Although the task was very difficult, the commanders and fighters of the fourth company were highly motivated and immediately marched to their destination.
According to the instructions of the head of the regiment, they quickly advanced towards the white stone shop, and painted a lot of slogans and slogans everywhere along the way, but the money was a certain division of the Red Sixth Army. In the name of the main advance detachment of the Red Army, they also trumpeted to the local masses the news that the main force of the Red Army would thus advance westward.
In addition, they also threw away a lot of worn-out clothes, shoes and socks and military supplies on the road, creating the illusion of a hasty retreat.
This series of measures really succeeded in attracting the attention of the enemy, and a large number of troops were sent in the same afternoon to pursue the direction of Baishipu, and even left a lot of troops.
When he received the exact news of the enemy's attack, Yang Shiduo, commander of the fourth company, immediately led the whole company to fold towards the tiger-shaped mountain. Because they were few on the target and moved extremely quickly, they quickly threw the tailing enemy away by a large margin.
Company Commander Yang Shiduo, considering that there might be enemy interception in the front, ordered a platoon as a sharp knife platoon to take the lead in interspersing north of the Tiger Shaped Mountain to open up a forward passage for the whole company.
It was getting dark, the road was getting harder and harder, and a row of soldiers with soaked feet couldn't walk anymore, so they asked where to camp that night. Platoon leader Liang Shengguang replied that the order given by his superiors was to "camp with cameras" after dark if the enemy was not found.
Because the troops passed through many places named "ji" all the way at that time, when the soldiers heard it, they all thought that the "camera" was a certain market town, and they thought that they might be able to eat a delicious meal there, so they all smiled happily.
In fact, Liang Shengguang did not figure out what a "camera camp" was, because when the company commander gave the task, there was an enemy behind him, so he did not have the ability to know what was a "camera camp", and like the soldiers, he regarded "camera" as a specific place name.
I didn't expect that things were so coincidental, after Liang Shengguang took a row over the tiger-shaped mountain and walked north for more than twenty miles, he found out from the common people that there was really a small town called "Xiangji" nearby.
Liang Shengguang, considering that the soldiers were already tired and hungry after a continuous rapid march, immediately ordered the whole platoon to quickly rush to Xiangji and camp there. He also sent people to make specific marks along the way to show the direction of the troops behind.
Unexpectedly, before the platoon had entered xiangji, the scouts had already detected that there was a Kuomintang unit stationed in the town, and there were still quite a few of them.
Liang Shengguang thought to himself: Since the task of our company is to contain the enemy, and now there is an enemy in Xiangji, why don't we catch the enemy by surprise and create more favorable conditions for covering the transfer of large troops?
Although he only had one platoon of troops in his hand, Liang Shengguang believed that the enemy was in the light and I was in the dark, and the disadvantage of our army's insufficient strength could be completely transformed into the advantage of small targets and flexible action, plus it could be covered by night, and this battle was completely worth fighting!
He immediately made a decision and led the entire platoon to quietly approach the enemy's camp. Interestingly, they were going to be playing a game of chess about where to attack, but they accidentally found an enemy ammunition depot.
Liang Shengguang was overjoyed, and immediately led the soldiers to blow up the ammunition depot, and then took advantage of the enemy's confusion to launch a lightning attack on them.
The enemy never imagined that the Red Army, which they had been pursuing, would actually fall from the sky and take away their ammunition depot as soon as they struck. In the midst of extreme chaos, the enemy could not organize decent resistance at all, and the entire battalion of troops was scattered by the Red Army.
When Yang Shiduo arrived with the second and third platoons, the battle was over, and they immediately joined forces, turned to the northwest, and two days later caught up with the large troops. It was precisely because of the surprise attack of a platoon in Xiangji that the kuomintang pursuing troops were mobilized, so that the large troops of the Red Sixth Army successfully completed the transfer.
Later, a row of commanders and fighters understood that the original order from the superior was "camera camping", not "camping to (set) at all". Although the order was mistaken, it allowed the troops to win an unexpected victory, which was really a crooked fight to build a miracle!
