Chapter 154: Special Envoy of the Sichuan Army
Lao Jiang was also quite interested in the next move of the Red Army, and he also pulled Liu Yun to study by the map, and saw Liu Xiang's surprise, so he turned around and asked Liu Daguan, "Yicheng, according to you, where will the Red Army cross the river, is it the ferry port of Anshun Field, or other places?" ”
Liu Yun took the baton and went up along the Anshun field without hesitation, pointing directly to the Luding Bridge between Ya'an and Kangding, and said with great certainty, "Although the Anshun field of the Dadu River is an ancient ferry, the available ships are limited, and the winged king Shi Dakai will be defeated because of this, and the Red Army will not fail to learn a lesson."
"Therefore, there are only two routes, one way to cross the river from Anshun Field by boat, but the number of people should not be large, just along the river to attack the north side of the Luding Bridge, the other way to send an elite forward, pointing directly to the south side of the Luding Bridge, the two-pronged Luding Bridge will be lost, and the main force of the Red Army will cross the river safely."
Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang looked at each other, the Dadu River was so easy to cross, I couldn't believe it, at this moment, a staff officer of the Sichuan Army came in, ready to hand over a telegram, it seemed that it was still a particularly confidential news, naturally I didn't want Liu Yun or Lao Jiang to see it, so I hesitated a little.
Chairman Liu Xiang had already guessed a few points about the content of the confidential news, so he laughed and scolded his subordinates, probably not wanting Lao Jiang to misunderstand, and then ordered him to read it out on the spot, and the Sichuan army staff had no choice but to do so, and it was written that "the Luding Bridge was lost, and the main force of the Red Army crossed the river."
Suddenly, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang were shocked, and looked at Liu Yun fixedly, it was incredible, whether this guy was really capable, or did he hit it by mistake, but fortunately, Chairman Liu quickly recovered, took the telegram with his hand, and waved his hand calmly, asking the Sichuan army staff to retreat by himself.
Liu Xiang carefully looked at the telegram, and then pinched his fingers and calculated, the time when the Red Army really occupied the Luding Bridge should have been 30 hours ago, or it was attacked at night, because it was located in the Xikang area, there was still a delay in the transmission of news, so it was much too late for the Sichuan army to receive the news.
In 30 hours, even if the speed of the Red Army is slow, the chain bridge passes through one or two thousand people, it is still a very easy and competent thing, Liu Xiang can't help but feel haggard for a while, and the ambition to dominate the world can't help but fade a little, Liu Yun has an illusion that Chairman Liu seems to be much older in an instant.
may be accustomed to seeing the miracle of the Red Army, Lao Jiang is not surprised, for Liu Xiang's reaction, is also expected, in his eyes, the Sichuan army is a group of miscellaneous army, obviously combat effectiveness is not good, but also think that the world is invincible, if the Red Army is so easy to deal with, his Central Army would have been solved a long time ago.
However, in the eyes of Lao Jiang, Liu Yun is a strange person, when he was training at the Army University, the German instructors highly respected this guy, and thought it was a fluke at the time, and later jointly developed a new type of tank, and repeatedly made miraculous achievements, but he just thought that this guy was good at mechanical research.
To this day, Liu Yun just said that the Red Army must cross the Dadu River, and immediately came the news that the Red Army had crossed the river, from this point of view, this guy is simply Zhuge Liang alive, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but think of his chief of staff, General Bai Chongxi, known as "Jinliang".
However, at this moment, Liu Yun was frightened and sweated coldly, because he suddenly remembered that the Red Army crossed the Luding Bridge at the end of May 1935, and now it is about May 10, which should be half a month later.
As far as the history of the Red Army is concerned, there has been a deviation, and it is uncertain that the global situation will evolve in the future, and the meeting will be unrecognizable, Liu Yun secretly made up his mind in his heart, and it seems that there will be fewer opinions in the future, and at this time Liu Xiang also thought clearly, if he can reconcile with the Red Army, he must reconcile.
Liu Xiang completely ignored Lao Jiang in front of him, grabbed Liu Yun, stared at his eyes intently, and said word by word, "You are also a member of the old Liu family in Sichuan, and you definitely don't want your hometown father to be killed into a sea of blood.
Lao Jiang wanted to say that he had a way, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he retracted, the Sichuan army and the Red Army were fighting, which was a good thing for him, where was he willing to help Liu Xiang tide over the difficulties, so he drank tea silently and watched the changes, he also wanted to know what good way Liu Yun had.
Liu Yun also knew that the critical moment was coming, whether everyone was happy or bloody, it depended on how he moved Liu Xiang at the same time, so that Lao Jiang would not be too opposed, so after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The committee once said that all wars have always been three parts military and seven points political, and in the same way, for the current Red Army, political settlement is the right way."
"Three points military, seven points political", Lao Jiang is also stupid, it is he who said it, and more than once, basically every time before the encirclement and suppression of the base area, he will say it, but there is an ominous premonition, Liu Yun's line of thought is definitely not a new idea of "winning the hearts of the people and disintegrating its content".
Liu Yun sorted out his thoughts slightly, and gradually pieced together some glittering fragments into a complete blueprint, and the more he said, the smoother it became, "Militarily speaking, our Sichuan army has achieved a preliminary military victory, after the Northern Sichuan Campaign, the Jialing River Campaign, and the Wenchuan Campaign, the Red Army in Sichuan has only one way to retreat to the western Sichuan Plateau or the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."
"But the hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, the biggest headache for our Sichuan army at present is that the resilience of the Red Army is too great, even if we win, as long as they do not admit defeat, they will be annoyed and disturbed, and they will come to attack the city at the first opportunity, and in the end everyone will not want to develop or be stable."
Seeing that Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang were a little annoying, Liu Yun had no choice but to speed up the progress and directly announce the answer, "Originally, it was difficult to solve the Red Army in Sichuan, but as soon as the Central Red Army arrived, our opportunity came, because one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and I am not very optimistic about Zhang Guotao."
This was said bluntly enough, Jiang and Liu were stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, especially Liu Xiang suddenly remembered that on the west side of Ya'an, the Lushan-Tianquan defense line set up, and the Dagangshan defense line set up by Liu Wenhui in Kangding, how stupid, isn't this forcing the tiger to jump off the cliff.
Liu Xianggang wanted to order the Sichuan army, ready to give up Lushan and Tianquan, but remembered another incident, how Liu Yun was going to use the two tigers to fight, Lao Jiang just wanted to interject, but he was unceremoniously interrupted, time is very urgent, related to the future and future of the Sichuan army, and asked Liu Daguan to reply as soon as possible.
Liu Yun elaborated on the original time and space and some of the things that happened in his own words, "Zhang Guotao is brave and good at fighting, if he meets ordinary idle people, I am afraid he is not his opponent, but unfortunately he met Chairman Liu Xiang and Liu, so he was deflated again and again."
Liu Yun first praised Liu Xiang, and then patted Chiang Kai-shek's sycophants, "The Central Red Army is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it took a lot of effort to force them into a desperate situation, but I have to admit that Chairman Li Shengde has always been far-sighted, and he is by no means comparable to Zhang Guotao's generation."
"As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods, Zhang Guotao and Li Shengde, it is good to say that if they have not met, they will inevitably talk about seniority, at that time Zhang Guotao is short-sighted, and from time to time he likes to have a hot head, which will be infinitely magnified, and Li Shengde will win."
Liu Xiang first looked at Lao Chiang, who had been fighting with the Central Red Army for a long time and knew Li Shengde's ability well, Chiang Kai-shek was a pretentious person, and he didn't bother to lie about this matter, and nodded affirmatively at Liu Yun's statement, and Chairman Liu didn't say much, motioning for someone to continue to elaborate.
Liu Yun smiled slightly bitterly, and said with some self-deprecation, "In Li Shengde's eyes, our country of abundance is simply a poor and remote country, with neither industry nor room for development.
At this time, even Lao Jiang was a little incomprehensible, and when he was stunned, he and Liu Xiang invariably asked, "Li Shengde doesn't look down on Sichuan, but it is understandable that he left Sichuan, but the final destination, why is it on the edge of the Great Wall, is there any saying in this?" ”
"Yes." Liu Yun said with great certainty, and also explained the reasons for the Red Army's choice, "First, the Chinese Red Army, after all, is part of the Red Army of the world, and when it reaches the edge of the Great Wall, it can rely on the prestige of the Soviet Union, and even go straight to the Soviet Union when it is extremely unfavorable."
As soon as the Great Wall is Mongolia, Mongolia is close to the Soviet Union, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang nodded secretly, this statement is tenable, the Chinese Red Army is currently poor, that is, they will directly surrender to the Soviet Union, and many people will believe that it is indeed stronger than Zhang Guotao circling around Sichuan.
Seeing the faces of Jiang and Liu, Liu Yun was a little secretly contemptuous, no wonder it was Li Shengde who unified the whole country in the end, this is the gap, so he didn't bother to say anything else, and directly announced the answer, "Second, in the hearts of the Chinese people, outside the Great Wall is barbarian, so out of the Great Wall, the wise man does not do it."
Jiang and Liu were shocked, looking at each other, if Li Shengde really thinks so, it is really not to be underestimated, this strategy is really offensive and retreating, after weighing the pros and cons for a while, they can't help but smile bitterly, for Chairman Li's choice, they only have strong support.
The ten-year civil war between the Nationalist Army and the Red Army was, in general, a brotherly dispute, and if they were pushed to barbarians because of this, what would these aggressive warlords become, and if the tragedy of "Li Ling of the Han Dynasty was repeated", Jiang and Liu would not be able to afford it, and people would be terrible after all.
Jiang and Liu finally figured it out, no matter what method is used, if the Red Army in Sichuan can be completely solved, it is worth it, Lao Jiang's "Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan rear" plan, Sichuan is the top priority, and for Liu Xiang, Sichuan's gains and losses are a matter of life and death.
I am most afraid that Li Shengde will not be able to figure it out for a while, and he really reached an agreement with Zhang Guotao, and it is not without a chance to capture the city, outsiders only saw the victory of Yingxiu Town, but they did not see Liu Xiangyi's aircraft and tanks for the Great Wall, which were basically exhausted, and only those that Liu Yun saw, not to mention the Central Red Army, were the next Wenchuan decisive battle, and Liu Xiang did not have much certainty of victory.
After Jiang and Liu discussed with each other, they immediately appointed Liu Yun as a special envoy of the Sichuan Army to act as a channel of communication with the Red Army.
Seeing Liu Yun's confessional appearance, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang both laughed, looking at this guy when analyzing the battle situation, the head was the way he looked, and he really wanted to beat this guy, but when it came to doing practical things, he looked like a bear, and they were secretly refreshed, and said that Liu Daguan was still a young man.
