Since Liu Yun discovered the mystery of the other courtyard, he naturally plunged into cultivation, and truly cultivated on time at the meridian level, and the first wisp of purple gas between heaven and earth was spit out at the beginning of the rising sun, what steel mills, what hydropower stations, what grand causes, and what government affairs in western Sichuan County were completely put aside.

However, it is said that Zheng Yuanxing led the Red Seventh Regiment to lurk around Maoxian County at night, although Maoxian County has many troops, but because of the surrounding mountains and mountains, he did not expect someone to attack from the rear, and after the Red Seventh Regiment entered West Sichuan County, it cut off all external communication channels in West Sichuan as soon as possible.

Moreover, the electronic signal on the western Sichuan Plateau is notoriously unstable, even if there is no signal for several days, no one suspects that something has happened in western Sichuan County, not to mention that for the time being, the battle of Jialing River has come to an end, the Red Army is moving to the Songpan area, and the Sichuan army is deploying near Tumen.

After receiving the deployment of the Maoxian army, Zheng Zhe and the others were also overjoyed, and decided to set the battle of Maoxian in the early morning of the next day, and the defenders in the county seat of Maoxian, although they also had two regiments of troops, but they all thought that the enemy would come from Tumen, so they had no guard at all.

The time for the general attack finally came, and the 12 mortars sent by Liu Yun exerted their greatest power, firing five or six hundred shells in just five minutes, and completely crushing the Sichuan army of two or three thousand sleeping in their sleep, and even many of Zheng Zhe's two followers were in vain.

Originally, according to the predetermined battle plan, after the artillery bombardment, the whole regiment should launch an attack, starting with seventy or eighty machine guns to form the posture of one or more main divisions, and the defenders of Damao County fled in the desert, but the plan often could not catch up with the changes, and as soon as the machine gun group appeared, it obediently surrendered.

By the time the sky dawned, Maoxian had already reached the hands of the Red Army, and the casualties of the defenders were as high as more than 500 people, mainly caused by the shelling, and the remaining more than 1,000 people were all taken prisoner, whether they were officers or soldiers, all shrugged their heads, and their expressions seemed to be a little unconvinced.

However, Zheng Zhen and the others were not satisfied with this, only a small part of the Red Army was left to watch the prisoners, and took advantage of the surrounding defenders before they could react, and led the main force to attack the enemy in Tumen, the effect was surprisingly good, and the Sichuan army in Tumen was defeated in the afternoon of the same day, clearing the way for the Red Army to advance westward.

When the Red Seventh Regiment escorted the captives of Tumen and returned to Maoxian, the people welcomed them, and the previous captives really recognized it, and Zheng Zhen and the two also created a miracle, in just one day, annihilated a main division of the Sichuan Army, as well as the garrison regiment of Maoxian, with a total loss of more than 4,800 people.

In less than three days, the main force of the Red Army arrived in Maoxian, and Chairman Zhang Guotao immediately expanded the Red Seventh Regiment into the Red Banner Independent Division, while Zheng Yuanxing and Zhe Wenhe served as division commanders and political commissars respectively.

When Zheng Zhe and the others met with Zhang Guotao alone, they explained Liu Yun's merits one by one, but Vice Chairman Zhang didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this guy was an opportunist, but instead greatly praised the heroic Red Flag Division soldiers, which made Zheng Yuanxing and Zhe Wenhe look at each other and were speechless for a while.

Due to the fierce battle of nearly a month without Tumen, and the easy occupation of Maoxian, after a little rest and replenishment, the vitality of the Red Army has slowly recovered, which suddenly made Zhang Guotao's head a little hot, and he no longer wanted to retreat into Jinchuan, and even Liu Yun's western Sichuan County did not bother to pay attention, and directly sent troops to Wenchuan and Chengdu, with the slogan "Liberate the whole Sichuan, and present a gift to welcome the Central Red Army."

Zhang Guotao's slogan was shouted loudly, but due to the heavy losses in the first battle of Jialingjiang and the fact that the troops were too scattered, they were widely distributed in Songpan, Pingwu, Beichuan, Jiangyou and other places, and the troops that could be concentrated in the area of Maoxian were only more than 10,000 in addition to the Red Banner Division that remained in Maoxian.

Fortunately, Vice Chairman Zhang is a master of using troops, and he has more than 10,000 troops, forming a momentum of 50,000 troops, and he seized Wenchuan County on the day of his troops, which shocked the city three times a day, Liu Xiang can no longer take care of his image, and he repeatedly asks Liu Wenhui for help, and even ignores Lao Jiang's strict orders.

In less than ten days, Liu Xiang gathered nearly 100,000 troops, but destroyed Lao Chiang's plan in advance, that is, to suppress the Central Red Army in the area south of Sichuan, west of Guiyang, and north of Kunming, intending to bankrupt the plan to make the Red Army "Shi Dakai's second" on the banks of the Dadu River.

Because the assembly of Liu Xiang's troops still needs time, in the area of Wenchuan County, there is no superior force, the Red Army is brave and good at fighting, even the battle is victorious, less than a week, approaching Guan County (Dujiangyan) in the northwest of the city, the Sichuan army was shocked, had to stick to the south gate of Wenchuan Yingxiu Town.

Because as soon as Yingxiu Town passed, it completely entered the Chengdu Plain, and there was no danger to defend at that time, and the Red Army would have a lot of room for maneuver regardless of whether it advanced or retreated, attacked and defended, and even if it could not occupy the Chengdu, it would also stir the rich land around the Chengdu into a pot of porridge, and the whole Sichuan would be in chaos.

Liu Xiang and other generals of the Sichuan army can no longer care about any struggle for power and profit, and all those who can be used are used, even if Liu Yun is a criminal person, he was also appointed as the commander of the Maoxian garrison brigade, and ordered the western Sichuan County to prepare for war, and when the time is ripe, cooperate with friendly troops to capture Maoxian.

Because Liu Yun practiced magic skills in the Xingling Courtyard, it made it easy for officials of all sizes to find for a while, because the military and political telegrams in the city capital were as high as fifteen a day, and each one was more severe than the other, and it seemed that no one would be ordered to be cut off again, and in the end, Yin Qinlan revealed someone's whereabouts.

Because Yingxiu Town has reached and is in danger, even if there are three or four divisions to defend, they cannot contain the offensive of the Red Army, but there is a possibility of rout at any time, Liu Xiang has personally sat in Guan County, and the military order is hung high at all intersections, and it is impressively written that "the generals will retreat, the soldiers will retire and kill the soldiers, the officers and soldiers will sit together, and the enemy will be rewarded."

With the frequent issuance of military orders, Guangyuan's Deng Xihou Corps (45th Army), Fucheng's Li Jiayu Corps (New Sixth Division), and Mianzhu's Sun Zhen Corps (29th Army) were ready to move, and Guo Qixun, who should have been on the Sichuan-Guizhou border, also returned to the city to take up his post, and immediately led a regiment of recruits to attack Wenchuan County.

Because Yingxiu Town could not be conquered for a long time, and the various departments of the Sichuan Army had a tendency to encircle, Zhang Guotao was also anxious, so he personally sat in Jinyu Town and commanded the Red Army to fight, and Zheng Yuanxing and others, who were reorganized in Mao County, also felt bad, so they asked for orders to send troops to Lifan County to ensure the way back for the large army.

Zhang Guotao is not an indecisive person, not to mention the Red Army in Pingwu, Beichuan and Jiangyou, which continuously marched into Maoxian, and the total strength of the Red Army approached 20,000 people, and there was no shortage of people in the Red Banner Independent Division, not to mention that it was also right to ensure the rear road of the Red Army, so he quickly agreed.

In addition, I don't know if it is the perennial melee of the Sichuan army, which leads to being very unpopular in Sichuan, and the indigenous Qiang people of Maoxian and Wenchuan enthusiastically join the army and carry food, so that Zhang Guotao has an illusion of devastating and decaying, thinking that the Sichuan army is a rotten house, and it will collapse in response to a slight push.

With the arrival of the main force of the Sichuan army, the defense line of Yingxiu Town gradually stabilized, but the Red Army in Wenchuan and Maoxian County was also ready for the final preparations for a decisive battle, and in early May, when the Central Red Army was about to arrive at the Dadu River, Zhang Guotao gave an order, and nearly 20,000 Red Army launched an attack on the whole line.

Because the Red Army was well prepared, concentrated all the light and heavy firepower, and fired more than 100 artillery guns of all kinds, although it was mainly mortars, it still made tens of thousands of defending Sichuan troops unable to bear it, and less than half a day after the general offensive was launched, a part of the Red Army broke through the last line of defense of the Sichuan army.

More than 10,000 Red Army followed the pursuit, seeing that they had entered the relatively open Chengdu Plain, Zhang Guotao was also overjoyed when he received the news, regardless of the dissuasion of the left and right, he insisted on going his own way, and ordered the Red Army to give full play to the spirit of continuous combat, and drove the Sichuan army back to Chengdu like a duck, and the capture of Guan County was his minimum operational requirement.

At this time, Liu Xiang also had to bet on his family, the Red Army had just entered the plains, and when it was still unstable, it was attacked by more than 20 planes and fifty or sixty tanks, which were the heart and soul of the king of Sichuan, and were originally intended to be used for the future struggle for the world.

However, this time the situation was too critical, and if the Red Army really rushed into the Chengdu Plain, Liu Xiang's nearly ten years of development in Sichuan would be wasted, and he had no choice but to show it all, although they were all backward biplane fighters and "Renault" FT-17 tanks in the late stage of World War I.

No matter how heroic the commanders and fighters were, they were unable to resist the combined strikes of aircraft and tanks, and the entire battlefield was suddenly reversed, and tens of thousands of Sichuan troops, who were fully equipped and ready to work, began to launch a counteroffensive on all fronts, and more than 10,000 Red Army troops were in danger of being encircled.

Fortunately, after the wounded Red Army officers and soldiers took the initiative to break off, plus the rout of the defense line of Yingxiu Town, they were mixed with the Red Army, which greatly delayed the counteroffensive of the Sichuan Army, and finally there were about three or four thousand Red Army troops who withdrew from the mountain pass of Yingxiu Town, because there were a total of 20,000 casualties before and after the Sichuan Army, and there were still a large number of defeated troops that needed to be cleaned up and rectified, so they had to suspend the pursuit and solve the encircled Red Army first.

Just when Zhang Guotao received the bad news of the Red Army's fiasco and had not yet come to his senses, the news came that Li Jiayu's corps in Fucheng had sent troops from Anchang Town to conquer Beichuan, and it was three giant tanks that were the first to start, and it was said that even the hit shells could bounce off.

What's even worse is that Beichuan County was recaptured by the Sichuan army, and the Red Army in the entire Sichuan has been cut into two parts, and it is difficult to correspond to each other, except for Zhang Guotao's headquarters in Maoxian and Wenchuan, the other is the Red Army of Guangyuan, Jiangyou and Pingwu, so total retreat is the only choice.

Zhang Guotao's troops in his hands were less than 6,000, even if they added the Red Banner Division of Mao County, it was less than 9,000, and in frustration, he had to move westward gloomily.

However, it takes time to get from Yingxiu Town to Jinyu Town, and it also takes time to go from Jinyu Town to Wenchuan County, just when Zhang Guotao led his troops back to Wenchuan County, he was attacked by Guo Qixun's troops who passed through the mountains, and due to exhaustion and lack of ammunition, they were pressed and beaten by two or three thousand Sichuan troops.

Fortunately, Zheng Yuanxing's troops arrived in time to repel the attack of the Sichuan army, and the result was a situation of both defeats, the Red Army team was sharply reduced again, the total number was less than 8,000 people, and Guo Qixun's department only had more than 1,000 people, so they had to retreat into the mountains, and they no longer dared to fight the idea of Wenchuan County, but this attack was a greater blow to Zhang Guotao's spirit, and he really realized the mistake of capturing the city.

Because there were still some Red Army troops near Maoxian County that had not withdrawn, Zheng Yuanxing had to be stationed in Wenchuan to buy time for the main force of the Red Army to retreat to Jinchuan, but the headache was that because of the successive battles, there were thousands of wounded who did not know what to do.
