At Miri Lake, at the foot of Kuang Mountain in the northwest corner of Jinan Province, there is a humble flour mill, but the actual flour production in the factory is only an outdated workshop, and the place called the office building behind the first workshop is rarely visited. And this is the most terrifying nightmare for all those who watch the nascent regime, the secret agency directly under the Unified Investigation Bureau, unlike the deep mansion compound that most people think, is not full of institutions, but rather a fairly orderly office area, and there is no prison or anything like that. Of course, there is a basement, but it is indeed a huge data analysis center, although it is not as good as the secret base of the main seat, but it can also be regarded as a data processing center beyond the times, monitoring the radio waves of various ports and towns across the country, as well as tens of thousands of surveillance data, sorting and screening through their data processing, the workload in this is almost unimaginable to the spy agencies of other countries.

"Look, look at this... Do you want to arrange turtledoves? "A guy in a military-style leather suit is standing in the director's office to report.

"Oh, Lao Li. Now that the instructions from the upper peak have arrived, it's always good to do things according to the rules, what do you say? Yu Jian still had a kind smile, but Lao Li's heart suddenly changed, but his face was as usual. Hurriedly nodded yes, and after waiting for Yu Jian to sign two or three reports, he quickly withdrew.

Yu Jian stretched his waist, moved his wrist, and with a shake of his hand, a delicate-looking flying knife was nailed to a primary-colored wooden board opposite, making a dull thud. After a while, the secretary outside the door knocked lightly on the door of the inner room, and a file and a tea tray were quietly brought in. Waiting for the ghostly secretary to go out, Yu Jian opened the file and took a sip of the boiled water on the tea tray.

"There are really fewer and fewer old people." A sigh made Yu Jian, who had always been a smiling Buddha, also look bitter, and after signing a line of text on an appointment, he put it in the file bag. He continued to read the reports from the Southwest, which was the focus of the Sentiment Division. Can you move Lao Tzu with a little means? I don't want to think about how henchmen who are not the boss can visit that warehouse? If you want Lao Tzu to go against the boss's will, it's better not to move this idea, but it's a pity that Lao Li is the first batch of old brothers to follow him to start a business.

A day later, Li Hongye, director of the Shanghai Division of the Coordination Bureau, was transferred to the Latin America Division as the director of the preparatory division, and died of illness in Lima two years later.

After the Battle of Canton, the revolutionary army was constantly annihilated or peacefully reorganized, and the main force was completely lost, and the remaining warlord forces of the three southwestern provinces were now independent of the joint self-government, with only 500,000 troops left. The warlord troops that had been entrenched in Guangxi, Xiangxi, Hubei, and other places retreated to various parts of the southwest one after another. With the support of the Japanese, whether overt or covert, with the three groups of Tang Jiyao, Xiong Kewu, and Liu Cunhou as the backbone, a large number of small army leaders and bandit forces were gathered to make the final struggle. They thought that the geographical and political conditions of the southwest could be exploited. The Qinling Mountains, Daba Mountains and Wuling Mountains are like a natural fence, cutting off the connection between Sichuan and Guizhou and the mainland; The intertwined feudal forces and the warlords and bandits everywhere were also the basis of the reactionary rule of the warlords in the southwest; The location is to sleep on the side, so that it is easy to obtain direct assistance from imperialism. Tang Jiyao, who was publicly elected as the patrol envoy of the three southwestern provinces, made the following arrangements: the first step was to use the Xiong Kewu group and the Longjiguang Department of the Guangdong Army to organize the so-called Sichuan-Guizhou-Guizhou joint defense to prevent the National Defense Army from marching towards Yunnan and Guizhou, as a cover for his deployment to the southwest; At the same time, the Sichuan army Liu Cunhou, Deng Xihou and other groups held the dangerous Qinling, Daba Mountain, and Wuling Mountain to prevent the national defense army from entering Sichuan. In the second step, Xiong Kewu and other troops retreated to the Yunnan-Guizhou border, echoing Liu Cunhou in Sichuan, while Tang Jiyao's Dian army responded everywhere and contacted the Yunnan-Guizhou warlords.

On May 23, a week after the end of the Battle of Guangzhou, Wu Chenxuan, chief of the Ministry of National Defense, issued instructions on marching across the country, which clearly stated: "Liu Cunhou's entire army is retreating to the hinterland of Sichuan, and there is news of a retreat to Kunming. Xiong Kewu, Long Jiguang and other troops are dreaming of building the capital of Kunming and separating the southwest, and if they want to destroy the puppet revolutionary army and the enemies of Sichuan and Kang, they must march from the south and cut off their retreat." On 1 June, he further instructed all units of the 7th Group Army on the northern front and all units of the 9th Group Army, which had already marched from Guangdong to central Guangxi, to take a big detour against the puppet revolutionary army and the enemy in the southwest, insert themselves behind enemy lines, first complete the encirclement, and then fight back. Based on this policy, specific regulations were made on the actions of the contingent units of the 10th Group Army, which were transferred to participate in the march to the southwest: The contingent units of the 10th Group Army were temporarily placed under the command of the Seventh Group Army. The 9th Group Army took on a detour mission, leaving Guangdong in October from southern Jiangxi, and then attacking Yunnan from Guangxi, completely cutting off the enemy's retreat from abroad. The main force of the 7th Group Army, after the recovery of Hechi, Baise and other important towns in Guangxi and the relocation of the southwestern warlord government to Kunming, at the same time as the 9th Group Army launched the operation in western Guangxi, with a big detour, took Hanzhong and western Hubei, advanced to the line of Syria (i.e., Yibin), Luzhou, and Chongqing, and went straight out of Guizhou, cutting off the road for Liu Cunhou's group and the enemies in Sichuan to retreat to Yunnan and their connection with Xiong Kewu's department. Suppress Deng Xihou and other Sichuan army groups in the Qinling area. After the 10th Mountain Division of the 7th Group Army cut off the road for the Sichuan enemy to retreat to Kangdian, it quickly occupied northern Sichuan and Chengdu, and then cooperated with the main force of the group army to gather and annihilate Liu Cunhou's group and quickly expand the whole of Sichuan. This is the decision of the big detour, the big encirclement.

On 9 June, Lieutenant General Zhang Shaozeng, who was acting as commander of Lieutenant General Du Zicheng's 7th Group Army, issued the basic order for the Sichuan-Guizhou operation, as Lieutenant General Du Zicheng commanded the expeditionary force in Europe. The order stipulates that the task force of the 10th Group Army is to attack western Hubei and southeastern Sichuan, and to attack the enemy in the Enshi, Dazhou, and Wanzhou areas in advance and to control the areas east of the above-mentioned areas. In order to keep Xiong Kewu in Chongqing and other places, the enemy was completely isolated in the eastern Sichuan region. Then gather and destroy these enemies, or use political methods to solve them. The specific action was divided into three steps: First, the 66th Division of the Quick Counter attacked Enshi by vehicle from Xiangyang via Yichang, and then marched to the Wanxian area to assemble and make up for it, and the 50th and 60th divisions in the mountainous areas were transported by car from Taiyuan and Shangluo to Ankang, and then assembled and supplemented by attacking Dazhou through Wanyuan on foot. Secondly, all units of the 7th Army (except for the 99th and 10th Divisions) captured the Hanzhong, Guangyuan, and Bazhong lines, and crossed the Qinling Mountains and Bashan to attack Mianyang and Nanchong head-on. In the end, after the 99th Division annihilated the main force of Dengbu, it went straight out of the south, Santai advanced to Chengdu, and the 10th Division in the mountains went straight out of Longnan, took a detour to Aba, and controlled Kangding, Ya'an and other places to complete the task of attacking in the south.

In mid-June, the contingent units of the 7th Army and the 10th Army began to advance to eastern Sichuan, northern Sichuan, and western Hubei as planned. The Ninth Group Army also handed over Guangxi, Guangdong, Gannan and other newly recovered areas to the internal security units to take over, and according to the predetermined route, they rushed to the assembly area by car, boat, or foot.

On June 21, the operation to march into Sichuan and Guizhou was launched. Lan Xiuhao took the 12th and 13th Jibu Divisions and the 30th Mountain Division as the left group on the North Road, went straight out of the Pengshui and Qianjiang areas, and cooperated with the right group composed of the 14th and 17th Jibu Divisions and the troops of the Hubei Military Region to annihilate the Sichuan Army Division, the main force of the Xiong Kewu Group, in the area east of Pengshui. On the South Road, the 18th and 19th Divisions and the 40th Mountain Division carried out a great detour, went straight into Guizhou, seized Guiyang and Zunyi, attacked Yibin, Naxi, and Huzhou, and cut off the enemy's retreat to Yunnan. Due to the complete surprise of the direction of the 9th Army's movements, the enemy's Sichuan-Guizhou defense line was quickly broken through. The 18th and 19th Divisions and the 40th Mountain Division advanced into Guizhou in less than 10 days, liberating the Zhenyuan and Sanwen areas in succession, and penetrating directly into Guiyang and Zunyi. The 12th Division, the 13th Division, the 30th Mountain Division, the 14th Division, and the 17th Division also broke through on the two flanks of the Xiong Kewu Group, crossed the Wuling Mountain, and penetrated deep into the line of Xiushan and Xiyang. The Sichuan Army of the Revolutionary Party hurriedly adjusted its deployment in a panic, and the enemy in Guizhou planned to withdraw westward to the line of Bijie and Zhenfeng to block the westward advance of the Wehrmacht; The Luo Xiuwu Corps, which was aided in the east, and the Long Jiguang Group, which was withdrawn to the west, planned to meet in the Pengshui and Qianjiang areas, relying on the Wujiang River to carry out stubborn resistance.

Upon learning of the change in the enemy's situation, Lieutenant General Lan Jihao telegraphed all units of the 9th Army participating in the operation to speed up their roundabout operations, and after occupying Guizhou, they should not rest for more than three days, that is, they should continue to advance. And emphatically pointed out: "The focus of the current campaign is still to cut off the retreat of the three armies of Xiong Kewu and the four armies of Liu Cunhou's army to Yunnan, and strive to annihilate them on the south bank of the Yangtze River." Considering that the troops marched in the rain for days and days and trekked hard between the mountains and dangerous peaks, they specially advised: "I hope to pay attention to encouraging morale." Use the current foreign to ensure the supply and health of the soldiers, and don't lose the big because of the small. 50 grams of oil, salt and 1 pound of vegetables per person per day are indispensable. Essential, essential. At the same time, the three rapid responders on the South Road were called to overcome all difficulties and accelerate the advance. He also called on all subordinate departments to make full use of the experience of the pursuit operations between Guangxi and Guangzhou, strengthen political and ideological work, resolutely implement the Xinhua Party's policy on new areas, consolidate the troops, unite the people, and make use of local township security personnel to ensure a smooth march.

Under the command of two generals, Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Jihao, the troops of all walks of life overcame the difficulties caused by weather, geography, and enemy sabotage, and marched forward bravely and invincible. Some troops even traveled nearly 200 miles day and night. On July 25, the 18th and 19th Divisions of the South Road liberated Guiyang, Sinan and other places. On the 26th, the North Road Left Group liberated Pengshui and approached the east bank of the Wujiang River. On the 29th, the North Road Right Group surrounded and annihilated the two armies and 6 divisions of the main force of Xiong Kewu's department, which had fled westward, in the northeast of Xianfeng in one fell swoop.

At this point, the last heavy army group in the southwest region in the guise of a revolutionary party army was basically annihilated, and Liu Cunhou's retreat to Yunnan was further tightened, and the various units of the Sichuan army were already panicked, and there was no longer the ambition of separating the three provinces and dominating the southwest at the Guiyang Conference that day.
