Of course, this has the help of the local government and the squire, but the most important thing is that Guo Zhuocheng's army has undergone arduous training, and strong men have been selected to join the army, and the old, weak, sick and disabled have been eliminated, and they eat well and sleep well. Not only do they have large military canvas tents for each class, but they also have sleeping bags or military quilts.

These materials can be said to be luxuries for people in this era, they have never enjoyed such good treatment, and they have never eaten so well. As they talked about in private, if you don't walk 80 miles every day, you're really sorry for the clothes on your body, and you're really sorry for the food in your mouth.

It was not until the entry into the territory of Guizhou that the situation changed, and the vanguard began to encounter the central army.

These central armies followed the main Red Army, and when they saw such a powerful force behind them, they were so frightened that they fled quickly, and even if they occasionally blocked them, they reported to their superiors for help from time to time.

The pace of the directly subordinate columns also had to slow down and began to force the way with a small number of troops in turn.

On April 1, 1935, the vanguard of the directly subordinate column stopped at Jiuzhou Town, Huangping County, Guizhou Province. They didn't attack again, but let the troops rampant here. The houses in the town were not enough for the troops to stay, and they still set up tents and fortifications on the nearby hillsides, fields, and woods, and they looked like they were holding on here.

Guo Zhuocheng and their large army are still in Huangping County, but they have also slowed down their pace, and seem to be waiting for the follow-up team.

There is a logistics brigade led by Peng Zhufeng in the back. This brigade actually did not carry much logistical supplies, although some of these ammunition and food were carried by the main force in front, but they had most of the captured mules, horses, and donkeys to help. The burden was not much heavier than the main forces in front. The main slowdowns are the high school students, college students, and teachers who have been coerced or even kidnapped. Especially those schoolgirls who have never been far away. They are even more delicate, and the girls of large families can only keep up with the team when they ride on donkeys and horses.

Even when there are horses and donkeys to sit on, they are often exhausted, because they have never ridden them before, which seems to others to be a beautiful thing, and to them it is tiring and dangerous, especially when the horses and donkeys go up and down the hill and their backs are tilted. The women were all terrified for fear of rolling down from above.

Of course, the long-distance march was not without its benefits, because the Red Army generally paid attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and required cadres to endure hardships first and enjoy them last. I also continued to take care of them, and their resistance psychology slowly changed. Slowly dissolved into the Red Army.

Especially those young students who have ideals, they feel that they should have been with this team in the first place, that the pursuit of the Red Army is their previous pursuit, and that the ideals of the Red Army are their ideals.

In their view, only this contingent can change the fate of the country and the nation, and only the Red Army can make the country strong and the common people turn over.

Therefore, these people began to passively accept propaganda, but later took the initiative to use the slogan of the Red Army to propagate it to others, especially to their friends and classmates, encouraging them to join the Red Army, cooperate with the Red Army, and help the Red Army.

As a result, the Red Army began to organize these people to do some of the work they or they could, such as conducting propaganda, studying medicine, and caring for the wounded......

After entering Guizhou, the Red Army began to distribute leaflets and write slogans on the road, claiming along the way:

"Go into Guiyang and capture Jiang Jiaoshi alive"

"Armed secession of Guizhou-Prefecture and Yunnan-Nan, and the establishment of a new revolutionary base area"

"With Yungui, we have a broad space for development"

"The people of Southeast Asia are living under the iron heel of colonialism and need to be rescued"

"Retreat for future offensives"

"The Jiangsu-Western Soviet Region, the Yunnan-Guizhou Soviet Region, the Northern Shaanxi Soviet Region, and the Hunan-Hubei Soviet Region are all our sparks, and they will surely burn all over China......

This kind of propaganda that makes people know at a glance that the Red Army will stay in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces for a long time and will establish Soviet power in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces is naturally Guo Zhuocheng's masterpiece and is to prepare for his next strategy.

At this time, in the Huangping County Government, which served as the headquarters of the column directly under it, Guo Zhuocheng was preparing a telegram to the Central Committee: "Chief Mao, Zhou, and Zhu: First of all, I warmly congratulate you, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, on crossing the Chishui River four times, fighting successive battles, smoothly getting rid of the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang Central Army, finally jumping out of the enemy's encirclement, and preserving the strength and fire for the Chinese revolution. Your actions and our actions have further proved that as long as we have the leadership of President Mao, as long as we can think independently about our own problems, we can succeed in our affairs and overcome great difficulties.

On the way to the march, the column directly under the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army gave full play to the characteristics of our Red Army's ability to excel in guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, and set out from the city of Jiangxi and Zhou to attack for 100 miles, annihilating the first division and one brigade of Tao Guang and Zhou Xieqing of the Kuomintang in the early morning of 17 March, and then occupied Hengyang City without bloodshed.

After resting in the city for three days, after transferring He Jian's Hunan army, my direct column quietly left. After a rapid march of more than two weeks, they reached Huangping County in Guizhou Province today, with few major battles along the way.

The next plan of our column was to fight a decisive battle with Xue Yue's Department of the Kuomintang Central Army in the area between Weng'an County and Yuqing County. The attempt of this battle was to destroy the main force of Xue Yue's army, drive away Jiang Yaoshi's heavy troops in Guizhou, and create an empty army of Guiyang, so as to facilitate the occupation of Guiyang and even the whole province of Guizhou by our Red Army.

In order to achieve this goal and achieve greater results, Guo Zhuocheng, commander of the directly subordinate column, built the main force of the Central Red Army to rest and recuperate on the spot in the vicinity of Qianxi County and raise grain on the spot to solve the grain problem. After our direct column defeated or even annihilated Xue Yue's central army, it attacked Guiyang in front and rear, and after occupying Guiyang, our column was rebuilt. ……”

Guo Zhuocheng's telegram had not yet been sent, and Jiang Jieshi, who was supervising the battle in Guiyang, was furious after hearing the report of his subordinates.

There is a reason why Mr. Jiang is angry this time, and he really should be angry, but his subordinates are too angry. First of all, the main Red Army, which he thought would be annihilated, disappeared, and it turned out to be lost in the heavy encirclement of the Central Army, the Guizhou Army, and the Sichuan Army.

Zunyi, the big city of Guizhou Province, was occupied twice, and the Red Army came and left whenever it wanted, how could it not be angry?

What made him most angry and worried was that the Red Army had changed since December last year, no longer rigid and sluggish, but had become its original flexible and erratic state. In particular, since the capture of Tucheng by the main Red Army on January 24 this year, it has completely changed its appearance, and neither the central army nor the local army has been able to grasp the traces of the other side, especially crossing the Chishui River several times back and forth, and there has been no trace of it.

Doesn't this imply that Mr. Jiang's dead opponent has taken back the command? Does it mean that the days when he Jiang someone finally relaxed are over again? He wants to fight with him Mao Rundong again?

What made Jiang Jiaoshi angry was that the Red Army that inexplicably occupied the city of Ganzhou was too weird, and this force made Jiang so angry that he was about to vomit blood several times from the day he was born. The Central Soviet District was almost cleared with great difficulty. However, as soon as this force appeared, his entire plan to suppress bandits was destroyed, not only was the central Soviet area recaptured, but also the city of Ganzhou-Zhou was occupied, and even his favorite general Song Xilian and the 36th Division under his command were lost.

If this strange force had stayed honestly in the Central-Soviet Zone, he would have been depressed, but it was not unacceptable, and he had prepared for both things, and had deployed the Tax Police Corps, an elite unit armed entirely with foreign weapons, against them. But the problem is that this army is obviously a tiger, and it is not stable at all, and it wants to eat meat and the meat of his Jiang someone.

Not long in the Central Soviet Region, this unit suddenly entered the hinterland of Hunan-Hunan Province, took away the huge Heng-Yang City, and annihilated He Jian's first division and one brigade.

Mr. Jiang was not heartbroken by the loss of one division and one brigade of the Hunan army, the problem was that the actions of this army frightened He Jian, and frightened this guy to retract his head and feet like a turtle, and retracted everything exposed back into the turtle shell, leaving no more soldiers outside.

So much so that this strange army only found out when it arrived at the border of Guizhou, the Central Army, the Guizhou Army, and the Sichuan Army's legs trembled. What's going on with this mother? Are you He Jian an undercover agent of the Red Army, how can you help them cover up the news? If I had reported earlier, would I have been so busy?

Such a strong force joined the chaotic Guizhou-Zhou, and the Guizhou-Zhou suddenly lost the control of Jiang someone, and the Central Army, the Guizhou Army, and the Sichuan Army, which were already dwarfed and in a hurry, did not know what to do for a while: should they continue to search for and hunt down those Xiaoqiang, the main Red Army, who could not be killed, or should they concentrate all their efforts to eliminate Guo Zhuocheng's troops first?

Mr. Jiang's headache is: even if he fights Guo Zhuocheng's troops with all his might, he is not absolutely sure to defeat this army, because the results of this army are too brilliant, and this army has annihilated three divisions and two brigades of Jiang Mou's before and after, especially Song Xilian's division is 100% of the central army, which is definitely an elite army, and there are also urban fortifications of Gan-Zhou City that can be used, and there are sufficient weapons and ammunition to hold on, but in just one hour, Gan-Zhou City was taken away, and Song Xilian died......
