In order to cooperate with the fifth anti-encirclement campaign in the Central Soviet Area, in October,11kloc-0, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission instructed the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the Red Sixteen Division to move eastward immediately to join the Red 17 Division northward from the Hunan-Jiangxi Soviet Area, and under the unified command of Xiao Ke, the commander of the Red Sixteen Division, completed the destruction of Nanxun. 19 February 19 The Sixteenth Red Division started from Xiaoyuan Wanzai, went east to Xinyu, conquered Linjiang Town of Qingjiang, and advanced to Nanchang. On the 26th, two regiments of Chiang Kai-shek's Lushan Teaching Team were defeated in the newly-built Wanshou Palace in Xishan. Because I didn't go to 17 hongyi division, I turned across jinjiang to March to Yifeng on the 27th. On the way, it was bombed by enemy planes in turn, and the division radio station was blown up, causing serious casualties. 3 1, arrive at Longgang Village, tan shan, Yifeng. The next day, the 47th Regiment returned to the Millennium Division, while the 46th Regiment and the 48th Regiment moved to Fengxin Brewmaster Pond and Xishi to rest, waiting to meet with the 17th Division of the Red Army.
After receiving the order from the Central Military Commission to March northward into the Soviet area of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, the 17th Red Division, led by Xiao Ke, set out from Anfu Toyota and Gujiang, crossed Shui Yuan in the north, crossed Jinjiang in the future, and advanced to Gao 'an. When Chiang Kai-shek learned of the action plan for the Red Seventeen Division to join forces with the Red Army in the north, he immediately dispatched the Bell Brigade of the 62nd Division of Tonggu and the 18th Division of Yifeng County, Tianbao and Tanshan to attack the Red Seventeen Division from both sides. Xiao Ke led the troops to stay in front of Gao 'anzhai for one night. After studying the situation of the enemy and ourselves, he decided to introduce the enemy into the Huangsha area in Yifeng, the hinterland of the Soviet area. There is a dragon-shaped mountain in the east, Ziyang altar in the north, Li Gunao in the west, surrounded by high mountains on three sides, and only a small pit in the south. There is a copper repair center at the pit mouth, which is the resident of the county party Committee and county Soviet area. The terrain is like a cloth bag, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is conducive to uniting the local armed forces in the Soviet area and relying on the support of the people in the Soviet area to annihilate the enemy.
On February 2nd, Red 17 Division made a surprise turn from Yifeng Huaqiao to the west, entered Huangsha in the dark, and immediately got in touch with Zhang Lisheng, Chairman and Minister of Military Affairs of Xiansu. Zhang Xiangxiao reported the enemy's situation in detail and introduced the terrain on Longleng in Huangsha Shuikou. After the Red Sixteen Division rested in Brewmaster Pond, Xiao Ke personally ordered Gao Yongsheng, the commander of the Red Sixteen Division, to send someone to Brewmaster Pond overnight, and then held a military meeting attended by the central county party committee, county Soviet and local armed leaders to make battle arrangements: the Red Seventeen Division fully occupied Longleng and Monkey Peak, forming an encirclement; Less * * * international company guards the north of the city, and the county independent division guards the Prince Temple to prevent the enemy from fleeing to Fanggan; The county Soviet security team is responsible for luring the enemy in depth, and the women's team and the masses are responsible for delivering tea and rescuing the wounded.
On the morning of the 3rd, the soldiers of the Red 17 Division had just had breakfast. Shortly after the exchange of fire between the Soviet Guard and the enemy in the county, the enemy CTS and Division were near Huangsha, and a battalion of the Red Army sentry post withdrew from the position after two hours of enemy fire, which won time for the main force to seize the position. At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, four enemy planes bombed the Red Army positions indiscriminately. Xiao Ke teachers calm command. When he saw from the telescope that the enemy line marked the contact position with the enemy plane with white cloth on the ground, he immediately ordered the soldiers to spread white cloth on the ground. The enemy plane lost its bombing target and could not cooperate with the enemy ground forces. The Red Army took the opportunity to launch a charge and recaptured the lookout position. In the afternoon, the enemy threw away his backpack and rice bag and charged lightly. Halfway up the hill, the Red Army machine guns opened fire fiercely, commanding and sweeping the enemy, and grenades kept blooming among the enemy groups, crushing the enemy and causing casualties everywhere. The Red Army then violently attacked the enemy entrenched in the Western Hills, annihilated a large number of enemies, and two enemy commanders were injured by quilts. At this time, the enemy plane thought that the retreating enemy was the Red Army and dropped many bombs, causing heavy casualties. The rest fled for their lives in the direction of Tianbao and Tongan, and our army followed closely. The enemy troops who fled to Tonga were intercepted and killed by international companies.
The Battle of Huangsha was the first great victory of the 17th Red Division in the Soviet area of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi. Captured more than 300 enemies, killed or wounded 500 or 600 enemies, seized 400 or 500 rifles, more than 40 light and heavy machine guns, and a large number of ammunition and military supplies. The commander was captured alive and the brigade commander Zhong was injured. Our Red 17 Division also suffered more than 300 casualties, and Li Da, chief of staff of the Division, was injured in the battle.
After the victory of Huangsha, the 17th Red Division continued northward and joined forces with the 16th Red Division in Fengxin Baizhang. The two divisions went down the river side by side, and advanced to the intended target, Ma Huiling.
1994, Yifeng County Party Committee and Yifeng County People's Government built a magnificent monument on the battlefield at that time to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Huangsha's victory. Admiral Xiao Ke inscribed "Immortal heroes of victory in Huangsha". And write a poem "He Huangsha Victory Monument Completed":
Yellow sand will win and defeat the strong enemy. The three armed forces worked hard together. From the front, it is covered with blood. The reputation of the Red Army will last forever.
