Chapter 1491: Annihilation of one division and one brigade
Guo Shucheng laughed and said: "The Soviet Union? The Soviet bastards won't send us weapons. ”
His words not only surprised Tao Guang, but also the red-soldier officers and soldiers next to him were dumbfounded, and their faces were embarrassed and at a loss: "Why did he even scold the Soviet Union?" ”
If it weren't for Guo Zhuocheng's great power, it is estimated that some loyal party members would have taken the case and asked Guo Zhuocheng why he had blasphemed the great Soviet Union.
No wonder the officers and soldiers were surprised, because in their minds the Soviet Union was supreme and sacrosanct. Although Guo Zhuocheng did not respect the Soviet Union so much when he was in the Soviet area, he did not directly scold it, but only criticized the Soviet faction headed by Wang Ming and Li De, but now he is doing too much, right?
They don't know that Guo Zhuocheng is just going to do this, that is, to instill in them in their daily interactions that the Soviet Union is just an ordinary country, and they are not unworthy of scolding, not that they cannot be blamed.
Tao Guang stammered and asked, "You...... Who the hell are you? Aren't you Reds? How dare you scold the USSR? ”
Guo Shucheng said: "Don't worry if it's the Red Army, immediately send a telegram to Zhou Xieqing to ask him to surrender, he has been surrounded by us, and the reason why we are not in a hurry to clean him up is because we use them as bait to seduce you to come to help." Now that these reinforcements of yours have been killed by us, their fate has been decided, and no matter how stubborn they resist, it will only increase the casualties of officers and soldiers, and increase the sins of Zhou Xieqing. If he obeys your command to lay down his weapon, not only will you be meritorious, but he will also be meritorious. Not only will we not kill you, but we will release you immediately. ”
Tao Guang sighed. said, "Okay. ”
Soon his radio and radio operators were escorted by the Red Army. One of the two operators was killed and one was wounded, and the wounded was not serious, but it was possible to send a report.
The telegram was transmitted to Zhou Xieqing in Liaotian Town, and Zhou Xieqing also understood that the people who were attacking them really had stamina, and blew up their defense line to pieces in a few blows at the beginning, and then they just made a fuss and did not force the attack. And as the sky lit up, he didn't need a telescope to see the artillery and mortars on the hillside outside the town. As soon as they were launched at the same time, the town would be razed to the ground.
Now that there was Tao Guang's telegram and steps to go down, he immediately obeyed the order and surrendered.
Like Tao Guang, it was not until the Red Army soldiers came to accept their surrender that he knew that the unit he was fighting was the Red Army, a completely different Red Army unit from their impressions.
In Zhou Xieqing's heart, there were also huge waves: "If they are really the Red Army." Then our Hunan army is called the Hanako Army, why do they have so many weapons at once? ”
With the surrender of Tao Guang and Zhou Xieqing's first division and one brigade, Hengyangcheng was like an open-minded girl, completely defenseless against Guo Zhuocheng's direct column. So they opened the north side and spread their legs and fled.
Guo Zhuocheng didn't look surprised at all when he heard that the militia had fled, he waved his hand and ordered: "Enter the city!" ”
Not long after sitting down in the city government, which was the temporary headquarters, Mao Runtan counted the results of the battle:
In this battle, more than 1,600 Hunan troops were killed. More than 4,000 officers and men under division commander Tao Guang and brigade commander Zhou Xieqing were captured, and more than 2,000 were wounded. Four radio stations and 38 mortars were seized. There were 36 heavy machine guns, 87 light machine guns, a number of rifles and submachine guns, and countless military supplies were captured.
The people in Hengyang City listened to the gunshots coming from outside the city with trepidation, and when they went out to look at it at dawn, they found that the streets were filled with soldiers wearing beautiful grass-green military uniforms, all of them were full of energy and smiles, not at all like the previous army.
When they heard that the army in front of them was the legendary blue-faced and fanged Red Army, none of them believed it.
In particular, when those red-soldier officers and soldiers took out silver dollars to buy things in a harmonious voice, they couldn't believe it: "How can there be such a good army in the world?" Aren't the Reds poor? Why are they dressed so brightly, the fabric is obviously better than what we wear. Why are they all rich? Guangyang, all of them are bright and shiny Guangyang! ”
Some of the shopkeepers and their husbands were muttering: "You see that they are all dressed warmly, not bloated at all, so delicate and beautiful." Is this a cotton coat? ”
"Yes, how can there be such a beautiful cotton coat?" The boss agreed, "We have to inquire, this is made by the tailor there, we have to do it, and now the cotton clothes we wear are too ugly." ”
……
Guo Zhuocheng stayed in the headquarters and was preparing a telegram to He Jian, chairman of Hunan-South Province: "Your Excellency He Jian's honor: I am Guo Zhuocheng, commander of the column directly under the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. In the face of such speed and combat power of my column, I wonder how Your Excellency feels?
Since Your Excellency assumed the chairmanship, the people of Hunan have been living in a difficult situation and complaining, but Your Excellency does not want to seek the welfare of the people, but blindly goes against the grain, slaughters people with revolutionary aspirations, persecuts innocent people, and causes countless grievances.
Since Your Excellency was able to snatch the post of chairman of Hunan-Nan Province, you must not be too stupid, but why do you do something stupid? Now that our main force, the Red Army, has been freed from the pursuit and suppression of the Central Army, and our Central Soviet Region has been recovered, our most important task at present and in the future is to annihilate you and other warlords who have committed crimes.
It is true that Chang-Sha is not close to the central-Soviet area, but our heroic Red Army was able to sneak to Heng-Yang and take it in one fell swoop, and the distance between Heng-Yang and Chang-Sha is much smaller than the distance from Heng-Yang to Gan-Zhou. Our column can take Heng-Yang and annihilate more than 6,000 Hunan troops at no cost, and I believe that we can attack and harass Changsha-Sha at a greater cost, and bring you and other vicious people to justice.
Unbelief? Let's wait and see. ……”
Sending a telegram to He Jian was just a small episode in all of Guo Zhuocheng's work, that is, bluffing him, so he didn't have the kung fu to really fight the little He Jian. What he had to do now was still to see what was worth looting in and around Hengyang, and what was worth exchanging with that plane in 1992.
Here, he seems to have found only a large amount of wood useful, and at this time the wood was large and straight, a very scarce material in the era of 1992, and he naturally took it in.
Of course, a lot of gold and silver treasures were confiscated from government agencies, high-ranking officials, and wealthy households. Because Heng-Yang is also a big city, the affluence is not lower than that of Gan-Zhou.
Guo Zhuocheng and a division of his direct column stayed in Hengyangcheng for three days, and it was not until the intelligence organs heard the news that He Jian hurriedly mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Hengyangcheng and wanted to recover Hengyangcheng, that Guo Zhuocheng led this division and the Red Army, which had been converted from captivity, and once again coerced a large number of high school students and college students to leave Hengyangcheng and march all the way to Yongzhou County, Xinning County, and Liping County, and went straight to Guizhou.
The reason why He Jian was so obedient to transfer his troops out of this area and make way for the Red Army to advance was not really intimidated by Guo Zhuocheng's telegram, but more importantly, because he was forced by Xingshì. Just as Guo Zhuocheng said in his telegram, since the Red Army was able to occupy Hengyang without any damage, if they were not afraid of sacrifice and loss, it was entirely possible for them to enter Changsha, and the shape might be far greater than he imagined.
If he had also sent his Hunan army units to the central-Soviet region of western Jiangxi to "suppress bandits" and to the Guizhou-Fuzhou border and the Sichuan border to pursue and encircle the Red Army, then with the loss of one division and one brigade, the strength of the big cities such as Changsha, Xiang-Tan, Heng-Yang, and Yue-Yang would be very weak, and then this unit that suddenly appeared would have been like no one.
Although he He Jian was not on the front line, and although he still did not know how Tao Guang and Zhou Xieqing's troops were annihilated, those militia groups that escaped added fuel to the fire and vinegared the power of this Red Army.
Moreover, as the biggest official and the largest warlord in Hunan Province, he also knew a lot of insiders, and knew that this Red Army unit was different from other Red Army, and its combat effectiveness could not be measured by their number at all. From the day it appeared, this army gave the Gui army and the Central Army a dismount, and gave Bai Chongxi and Jiang Yaoshi several slaps in the face, lightly defeated the heavily defended Ganzhou City, and occupied Hengyang City without blood, which already showed that its combat effectiveness was invincible.
He Jian is also a cunning veteran, where do you dare to be careless? Where do you dare to make a mistake? Let's defend the troops in their own nests first, only their own lives are the most important, and only their own lives are the most important.
It was precisely because Guo Zhuocheng forced He Jian to transfer the troops that the directly subordinate column led by Guo Zhuocheng was unimpeded all the way and almost did not encounter the obstruction of the Hunan army.
Maybe it was because they were afraid of the strong combat power of this army, maybe they were afraid of being beaten by the main Red Army before, or maybe the locals knew that this army was just passing by and would not be stationed here for a long time, so when Guo Zhuocheng and his large army passed through the territory of Hunan, the squires would often come out to greet them and arrange food and accommodation for them.
Guo Zhuocheng naturally reciprocated the favor, not only buying and selling fairly and not disturbing the localities, but also took the initiative to send some fine rice seeds, cotton seeds, and farm tools to the people, which was completely a scene of the army loving the people and the people supporting the army.
For the 500-kilometer journey, the directly subordinate column only traveled for half a month, and the average distance traveled every day was as much as 40 kilometers, or 80 miles. Although there is a big gap between 80 miles and some troops marching more than 100 miles a day, Guo Zhuocheng and his team marched with a large army of nearly 20,000 people, and they walked like this every day, and this speed was definitely fast.
