When the 92 infantry guns and mortars that crossed the Wuyang River were pushed to the front line and placed on the front line, especially when these artillery fire covered those fire points that were still resisting, they suddenly became extremely happy, and no one complained anymore. They watched excitedly as the artillery fire smashed the officers and men of the resisting center to pieces, dismantling the weapons in the hands of the enemy into parts, and also watched the enemy, who had just been hiding in the fortifications, rushing out in a hurry, running backwards desperately, exposing his back to them.

It was not until the enemy did not have many bullets to shoot at them, and it was not until many officers and men of the Central Committee shouted that they had surrendered, that the attacking Red Army rushed forward with a shout, and while charging, they vigorously beckoned the few enemies who were stubbornly resisting with their submachine guns, light machine guns, grenades, grenades, and so on......

"Shoot or kill!"

"The Red Army treats prisoners preferentially!"

……

As more and more soldiers of the Central Army surrendered, the shouts of the Red Army became louder and louder, and only two regiments of the directly subordinate column crossed the river, with the result that the west bank of the Wuyang River was full of the shouts of the Red Army and the cheers of the advancing army. These voices spread far away to the east bank of the river, and the follow-up troops were itching one by one, and many officers and men did not want to go off the pontoon bridge, they just wanted to advance by assault boat and rubber raft.

Because the pontoon bridge has to line up, you have to move forward in order, and the assault boat is fast and majestic, and you can lie on it and shoot at the enemy, how cool!

In the general headquarters of the column directly under him, Mao Runtan's face was ruddy, his breath was short, and while listening to the staff officer's report on the progress in all directions, he said again and again: "Hehe, great, really good." So smooth lì...... I can't imagine that ...... is so smooth, these Xue Yue can't escape, right? Hehe......"

Zhang Pingkai next to him smiled: "How many prisoners can we catch this time?" Ten thousand or twenty thousand? Mao-Chairman: They're going to be happy. If these captives are to be transformed into our troops, then our strength will be even greater. ”

Although Guo Zhuocheng was also very excited, he still tried his best to control his feelings, turned his head to Wang Guangdao and asked, "Senior Commander Wang, give you another hour, can you clean up the battle here?" ”

Wang Guangdao hurriedly stood up and said, "Report to Commander Guo." We promise to get the job done. But then he said in a pleading tone, "Commander Guo, we can also go to Chong-Qing." Now all that remains is the work of capturing prisoners, leaving a regiment, no, leaving a battalion to guard the prisoners and assist the logistics brigade, and we can completely catch up with the first division. ”

Guo Shucheng smiled: "Master Wang." Are you still not satisfied? The first division of the people has long had an opinion, but they have been holding back for a long time, and they have long wanted to cross the river to fight Xue Yue, and the bullets have been loaded, and they are about to go to the pontoon, so we shouted to them. Ordered them to march towards Chong-Qing. You still want to rob them of their credit, aren't you afraid that they will scold you for being too greedy? ”

Guo Zhuocheng continued: "Besides, didn't I still leave Hu Zongnan's troops for you to fight? I, Chief of Staff Mao, and Political Commissar Zhang are here to accompany you. ”

Wang Guangdao heaved twice embarrassedly.

Yes, because the progress of the crossing of the river was very smooth, especially the first round of artillery fire blew Xue Yue's headquarters into ruins, and the entire Central Army lost its head, and victory was already a sure thing. Therefore, Guo Zhuocheng immediately decided to change the task of the first division as a reserve, and ordered Chen Peng to immediately lead this division to Chongqing and Qing, while the task of the reserve was undertaken by Peng Zhufeng's logistics brigade.

Chen Peng naturally didn't have anything, he immediately packed up his things and left, only those officers below were a little reluctant, after all, victory was in sight, who didn't want to rush up and have a good time? Who doesn't want to capture a large number of captives? However, the military order is like a mountain. No matter what they think, they can only obey the order, not to mention that Guo Shucheng is now the god of war in everyone's minds, and there must be greater benefits to listening to him, and Chongqing must be a big piece of fat.

The logistics brigade was ordered to become a reserve, which made Peng Zhufeng depressed and a little excited at the same time. His logistics brigade is not exactly a logistics brigade, and he is not willing to be only a logistics brigade, because their weapons are better than the previous elite units of the Red Army. Moreover, whether on the march or when stationed, they did not only do logistical work, but also participated in military training.

And this long-distance attack, Guo Zhuocheng did not let them carry much logistics materials. A lot of weapons, ammunition and food were hidden in his space, and there was no need for the logistics brigade to carry large bags and small bags, plus the troops captured a lot of horses, mules, donkeys, and a number of trucks, these materials did not need to be carried by soldiers on their shoulders at all, and the only trouble was to take care of the wounded.

Therefore, Peng Zhufeng thought that his logistics brigade could be used as the main force and could go to the battlefield to fight the central army, but Guo Zhuocheng and others just disagreed, and they still used them as logistics brigades.

Now it's not easy to become a reserve, although looking at the current posture, there is not much chance of going to the battlefield to participate in the battle, at most it is to go up to clean up the battlefield, and in the end it is similar to what the logistics brigade does, but I finally went up as a combat unit, which is somewhat comforting.

Four hours later, at noon, news came from the battlefield that the battle was over!

In this campaign, four divisions of the Xue Yue Corps of the Central Army were annihilated, two divisions were defeated, more than 5,000 officers and men below Xue Yue were killed, more than 23,000 officers and men below the rank of Deputy Commander Zhou Hunyuan were captured, and countless weapons, ammunition, and grain and grass were captured.

Because the artillery bombardment effect was good, basically destroying the three-level command organs of the Central Army (corps, divisions, and regiments), which had already caused chaos in the Central Army, the enemy was leaderless, and could not organize a large group of resistance, Mao Runtan, in order to seize more materials and better solve the problem of weapons and equipment of the main Red Army, ordered Luo Xi, the commander of the artillery regiment, to no longer shell the material hoarding areas, but only bombard the enemy's fortifications and positions, thus seizing more materials than planned.

At 13:45, Guo Zhuocheng's telegram was sent to Mao Rundong: "Report to the chiefs of Mao, Zhu, Zhou, and Peng: The column directly under me launched the battle of the Wuyang River at 9:30, and with the order of Chief of Staff Mao, our 10,000 artillery guns fired in unison, and the enemy's Xue Yue headquarters was wiped out in the first round of artillery fire, and a large number of shore fortifications were destroyed.

At 9:50 a.m., the officers and men of our Second Division began to forcibly cross the Wuyang River under the cover of artillery fire. In just 14 minutes, our side occupied the beachhead on the west bank, and the follow-up troops advanced in echelons, and the main force rushed to the opposite bank on the pontoon bridge, and then penetrated directly into the enemy's center.

Because the enemy group was leaderless and our army's firepower was fierce, the enemy's central army was immediately defeated when it encountered us, either fleeing or surrendering, and completely collapsed.

As the morale of our troops was high and the morale of the enemy was low, the battle progressed more smoothly, and except for the enemy at the north and south who had not seen good things and fled in a hurry, the rest of the troops were completely annihilated by our direct columns.

At the end of the direct report, our column killed more than 5,000 officers and men below General Xue Yue, captured more than 20,000 officers and men under Deputy Commander General Zhou Hunyuan, and countless weapons and ammunition, the exact number of which is still being counted.

Because the battle went more smoothly than expected, I have ordered my main 1st Division to sneak out and set off for Chongqing. Our special combat team has already sneaked into the vicinity of Guiyang in an attempt to seize the airfield of the enemy's Central Army and seize the enemy's fighters.

After cleaning up the battlefield, our unit decided to meet the southern part of Hu Zong, who had come to cooperate with Xue Yue's corps, tonight, and expected to end the battle by noon tomorrow. Comrade Peng Zhufeng will lead the logistics brigade to attack Zunyi after the battle at the Wuyang River, and then attack Guiyang.

The 1st Division's campaign to capture Chongqing is expected to begin at dawn on 10 April. ……”

Looking at this telegram, Mao Rundong and the others looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, no one can believe this fact: the tens of thousands of elite divisions of the Central Army have collapsed like this? Is this the Central Army? What kind of army is Peng Huading's team, even the central army is like chopping melons and vegetables, what else can stop them?

If the leaders of the Red Army were just a little incredulous, then Jiang Jiaoshi, who was still supervising the battle in Guiyang, was dumbfounded: just now he had exchanged telegrams with Xue Yue to discuss whether to cross the river and launch a tentative attack, in an attempt to lure Guo Zhuocheng's troops to cross the river and attack, so as to gradually eliminate the opponent's living forces, but he soon lost contact with them.

Now Jiang Yaoshi has not only lost contact with Xue Yue, but also with other divisions.

You must know that our Jiang has always boasted that he is good at fighting, and he likes to directly command division-level troops beyond the front-line commanders, and sometimes even command regiments, and his radio can contact most division-level headquarters of the Central Army. Now, however, no one can reach the radio.

It wasn't until the local government sent a telegram saying that a big war had broken out on the Wuyang River, and the shells on the other side hit a place as far as 15 kilometers away from the river bank.

Jiang Yaoshi, who killed and didn't believe it, immediately ordered the plane to take off and go to the Wuyang River to reconnoitre!

The pilots obeyed the order and took off, but they were dumbfounded after flying to the Wuyang River, they just didn't dare to cross the Wuyang River to descend on the east bank before, and now they did not dare to descend on the west bank of the Wuyang River, because the ground that originally belonged to the position of the Central Army now fired countless bullets, and the target was their planes!

The poor pilots couldn't see what was going on below, only that everywhere there was fire from the explosion of shells, everywhere there was smoke from the flames, and there were flying shells everywhere in the sky......

They didn't dare to tell Jiang Jiashi of their guesses, they only dared to say that it was very messy below. Because of the smoke of gunpowder, they couldn't see what was happening on both sides of the Wuyang River at all, only that bullets were being fired at them everywhere on the ground, and they all regarded them as enemies......
