The day after the defeat of Hu Zongnan's main force, the 2nd Division of the column directly under the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army swaggered in the direction of Zunyi. The slogans and leaflets they left along the way were:

"Occupy Guizhou, Yunnan, and establish a revolutionary government"

"Surround Gui-Yang City and capture Jiang Jiaoshi alive"

"All nationalities are our brothers, and together we will defeat the Central Army!"

……

Because of the increase in a lot of captured materials, captured prisoners, and a lot of wounded on both sides, Guo Zhuocheng and the others did not go fast. Yesterday, it only took a few hours to rush from the scene of the battle to Wenjiadian, but today it took a whole day to go back.

In the following days, Guo Zhuocheng led this army to Zunyi City as if playing in the mountains and rivers.

Zun-Yicheng had long been taken over by Peng Zhufeng's logistics brigade, and there were no defenders worth mentioning to stop them at all.

Since Xue Yue's corps was almost completely annihilated by the directly subordinate columns, the defenders of Guizhou-Prefecture and Yunnan-Nan were stunned, and they could not sleep and eat one by one, especially when they heard that Jiang Jieshi had fled from Guiyang in a hurry, and less than a few hours after he left, the airfield on the outskirts of Guiyang was occupied by the Red Army, and the remaining planes and pilots on the airfield were captured by the Red Army, and the defenders of Zunyi City, which was close to the battlefield, were so frightened that they ran away. They didn't even dare to go to Guiyangcheng, but ran directly to Yun-Nan, and some ran to Si-Chuan.

When Peng Zhufeng's troops approached Zunyi City, the gates of Zunyi City were wide open, and the guerrillas who came out of nowhere were beating gongs and drums to meet them.

Although Peng Zhufeng had a smile on his face and greeted the guerrillas enthusiastically, he was a little depressed in his heart: Cao, I finally got a chance to fight, but I didn't have it?

After leaving behind a part of the troops and almost all the captured materiel, captured prisoners. Peng Zhufeng led the large army to Guiyang non-stop. Along the way, they had little to stop, and some sporadic Guizhou troops immediately scattered when they saw them, but some militia groups even fired a few shots, and even tried to stop this force that they couldn't understand. They did not know whether this army was the Central Army, the Sichuan Army, or the Hunan Army or the Gui Army.

Of course, they were quickly annihilated by Peng Zhufeng's troops, Peng Zhufeng and they were holding their stomachs, feeling that they were holding such a good weapon worse than a burning stick, and they had never had a chance to use it, and now they finally caught it. Don't you fight hard, don't you pour out bullets and ammunition as much as you want?

Naturally, the poor militia group suffered a great crime, and some of the militia members refused to accept it until they died: "Lao Tzu is already dead, do you still need to shoot at Lao Tzu's corpse, throw grenades and mortars?" Lao Tzu just waved it with the shuttle mark, and he was still a few feet away from you, and he didn't even touch your hair. ”

The reason why these vigilante groups dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. Holding inferior weapons to block the Red Army, it was really because their information was backward, and they did not receive the news of the defeat of Xue Yue's corps at all, and they did not know that this army was a tiger that ate people and did not spit out bones.

In fact, they didn't really do this to stop the other party, but just to fulfill their duties to protect the territory and the people, and to make a show, and more for the sake of courtesy. It is to get praise from superiors. If the other party is the Central Army, and they don't show it, they will definitely be blamed by those guys, saying that they are not able to defend the territory.

Seeing that Peng Zhufeng was well dressed and well-armed, the militia didn't think about them at all. But unfortunately, they never dreamed that they would give their hospitality to the wrong object and give their old lives.

While Peng Zhufeng was happy and depressed to take over the territory, Guo Zhuocheng, Mao Runtan and others and Wang Guangdao's second division were stationed in Zunyi City, where they began to rest and train, and began to educate and screen the captive soldiers. Those who encouraged them to join the Red Army, especially those who were literate, knowledgeable, or skilled, were forcibly left behind by Guo Zhuocheng and forcibly asked to join the Red Army.

Only Zhang Pingkai pursued Peng Zhufeng's troops with a company of guards, who Guo Zhuocheng had sent as plenipotentiary to Guiyang to meet and receive the main Red Army.

Until Peng Zhufeng's troops "marched" to the city of Guiyang. Finally met a regular army of the enemy.

However, this regular army is actually nothing more than a Guizhou army with broken rifles and smoking guns, I don't know if their leader is missing a tendon in his head, or he was strictly ordered by Wang Jialie and Chen Cheng to block it, buying time for Chen Cheng and others to escape, anyway, when Peng Zhufeng's troops arrived at the city of Guiyangcheng, a fierce battle finally broke out between the two sides.

They first killed three soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon of the Red Army, and then ...... There was nothing to follow, because the Red Army behind did not give them another chance after seeing the defenders on the city walls, but began to build fortifications outside the city walls, build positions.

The reason why Peng Zhufeng and the others were so solemn and did not attack the city in one go was because Guo Zhuocheng had made a request to him before they set off, that is, now that the ammunition is sufficient, the troops in Guizhou and Yunnan have become frightened birds, as long as they overwhelm the enemy in momentum, they can achieve the expected results, and there is no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers.

Two hours later, the slower Red Army artillery units began to bombard the defenders of Guiyangcheng on the built artillery positions, and endless artillery fire ravaged the Guizhou troops who had only a few rifles.

When had the poor two-spearmen seen such a formation, and after only a few shells fell, their morale collapsed, and they immediately spread their feet and fled.

Those officers and soldiers whose homes were in and around Guiyangcheng and those who were slow to flee had no choice but to surrender.

Peng Zhufeng didn't have a good face at all for these captured double-spearmen, and after shooting a few officers with blood debts, he released them all and left them to fend for themselves.

Want to join the Red Army? No way! This kind of smoker recruiting into the army is just a burden.

After accepting Gui-Yangcheng and arranging the defense, Peng Zhufeng sent a telegram to Guo Zhuocheng: "Shun lì to take over Gui-Yangzhong Town. ”

Guo Zhuocheng immediately sent a telegram of victory and a telegram of invitation to the main Red Army, requesting that the Central Red Army send people to receive the supply of troops, weapons, and materials.

Mao Rundong and other leaders were not too surprised that the directly subordinate column had occupied Zunyi and Guiyang within three days, because they had long been stunned by the annihilation of Xue Yue's corps by this column in a short period of time. Relative to receiving Zun-Yi and Gui-Yang, that is the big deal. The annihilation of the largest central-military forces in Guizhou-Prefecture and Yunnan-South and the acquisition of other cities are all natural things, and they are not worth mentioning at all.

When the head of the Central Committee received Guo Zhuocheng's telegram, they immediately held a meeting to discuss: To go or not to go?

The last time they received a telegram from Guo Zhuocheng, they had already discussed how to deal with Guo Zhuocheng's construction, and at that time they set a strategy of waiting and waiting for news from their direct column while resting in the Qianxi area.

At that time, Mao Rundong also tentatively sent a telegram to Guo Zhuocheng, asking them to break the blockade of Xue Yue's corps alone, and the main Red Army did not make strategic cooperation, because the Red Army was too tired to risk entering the encirclement of the Central Army.

They thought that Guo Zhuocheng would hesitate or even object, but Guo Zhuocheng seemed to have known this result for a long time, and his answer was only to guarantee the completion of the task. And soon, Guo Shucheng gave them a big surprise, they not only broke the blockade of Xue Yue's corps, but also almost completely annihilated the powerful Xue Yue corps, and then defeated Hu Zongnan's elite troops.

It is not only a matter of mutual trust between the troops, but more importantly, Guo Zhuocheng has promised to provide the main Red Army with a large amount of weapons and equipment seized from the Central Army, which is what the main Red Army needs most.

But how to go is a bit troublesome, the main reason is that they are not familiar with Guo Zhuocheng at all, this person appeared almost out of thin air like the troops he led, I don't know if he fell from the sky, or came out of the ground, no one knows him at all, there is no name of this person on all the archives, whether he is an enemy or a friend, a traitor or a loyal, no one can really say for sure.

In this era, it does not mean that those who oppose Jiang Jiaoshi are revolutionaries, let alone that those who fight Jiang Jiaoshi are of the same mind as the Red Army. You must know that China has been a warlord melee during this time, today you fight me, tomorrow I will join forces with you to fight him, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and others have not opposed Jiang Yaoshi? They fought against Jiang Jiaoshi's army, but most of them were still mortal enemies with the Red Army.

Moreover, Guo Zhuocheng had already expressed his political differences from theirs, openly opposing the Soviet Union and openly opposing the Comintern. Once the main Red Army came at Guo Shucheng's invitation, and they gave the main Red Army a dismount, surrounded and disarmed, then the Chinese Revolution was really over.

Although the Red Army's losses in the Xiangjiang Battle were not as large as in history because of Guo Zhuocheng's outright, although there were still more than 20,000 remaining troops at this time, far more powerful than the historical Long March to this position, and only a few thousand people when they arrived in northern Shaanxi, Mao Rundong and Zhou Luolai knew that it was difficult for their tired army of more than 10,000 to compete with Guo Zhuocheng's troops.

Once you get into the trap set by Guo Zhuocheng, even if you can break through in the end, it will definitely be a life of death.

Even Mr. Peng muttered a little at this time, saying: "What the hell is this kid playing, why does he stay in Zunyi and let us go to Guiyang, does he really harbor evil intentions?" Do you look down on our army called Hanako? ”

Mao Rundong smiled: "Mr. Peng, are you relieving my heart or scolding him?" Only by staying in Zunyi can he make us feel more at ease. Zhang Pingkai and Peng Zhufeng, who are now staying in Guiyangcheng, are old Red Army and old party members, and they will definitely not do anything to us. If Guo Zhuocheng is now in Guiyangcheng, my old Mao will have to think about it more. ”
