On the afternoon of the 31st, the battle of Baoza came to a complete end, the 49th Division of the Nationalist Army was almost completely annihilated, and the 88th and 89th Divisions of the Red Fourth Front Army won a complete victory.

The victory in the battle of Baoza was a major victory won by the Red Fourth Front Army after the Red First and Red Fourth Front armies joined forces.

In the longer run, this battle opened the door for the Red Army to march north toward Gannan and created favorable conditions for the realization of the central government's strategic policy of moving north.

However, this battle was won somewhat inexplicably, and the whole situation was like a puddle of troubled water, and the two independent divisions of the 88th and 89th Divisions entered the battle without receiving orders.

Some of the surrounding Red Army regiments, the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment of the Red Front Army, were also involved, and even the headquarters also participated in the reinforcements.

……

"What? You say that the enemy entered your garrison and that's why it was opened? "At the command headquarters of the Red Fourth Front Army, the military political commissar is on the phone, asking about the specific situation of this battle.

The voice of the commander of the 88th Division came from the other end of the phone, "Yes, political commissar, that's really the case, otherwise you just borrowed my guts, and I wouldn't dare to fight without permission!" ”

At the end of the call, the face of the military political commissar became a little exciting, and Xu Xiangqian on the side asked with a smile: "How is it?" What do they say? ”

"Hmph, how else can I say that a group of old foxes did not admit that they took the initiative to attack, because the enemy went deep into their military hinterland, so they launched an attack.

But I'm surprised, the enemy's 49th Division knew that there were two divisions of our division in front, and they still dared to rush forward, what a daring! ”

"Hehe, not necessarily, I think the enemy has nothing to fear, but it's a pity that Wu Chengren's old boy didn't expect us to send troops to help, let alone expect that the scattered forces of the Red Army around him would inexplicably participate in the war."

"By the way, you ask, there is one thing that I am very puzzled about, after the Dajie Temple was taken, only the two battalions of the Qiuji Temple remained, how did that kid in Chengzhong finish? After two whole days of siege, he still couldn't take it, could it be that he wanted to trap the enemy and starve to death? ”

"That's not right!"

The military political commissar suddenly woke up and asked the signal soldier on the side, "Do you know the situation of the battle of Qiuji Temple this time?" ”

"Political commissar, I know some, it seems that after the enemy's 49th Division was defeated, Cheng Chongbu relied on the radio from the 89th Division to send a telegram to the White Army in Qiuji Temple in the name of the 49th Division, asking them to come out of the temple to help.

Qiuji Temple is an important supply line, in order to facilitate communication, the enemy army left a radio station, so this thing is done, after the white army of Qiuji Temple was deceived down, it was wiped out by the heavy regiment. ”

Xu Xiangqian laughed and said, "I've heard that this kid Cheng Zhong is brave enough to fight, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do these twists and turns!" ”

"By the way, what team is there to support the 267th Regiment?" Xu Xiangqian thought for a moment and asked again.

"Yes, it seems to be the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment on the one hand, Lin Dashan sent people to support!"

"Lin Dashan!" The military political commissar lost his voice, looked at Xu Xiangqian's face became strange, and seeing Xu Xiangqian's puzzled expression, he explained with a smile: "Old Xu, don't you know who this Lin Dashan is.

But I had been in the Central Army for a while, and I knew something about this guy, and he was a militant who drilled wherever there was a war, and it was said that whenever he fought, if he couldn't get a vanguard task, he would probably scold his mother when he went back.

This is not the most memorable thing about him, that guy is said to be a scoundrel and a scoundrel, but he has a lot of ideas when it comes to fighting, and he is a well-known figure in the Ninth Division. ”

Xu Xiangqian was clear and said with a smile: "So, Cheng Zhong was cheated by Lin Dashan's old boy this time?" used a method of encirclement and reinforcement, so that the whole situation was passively mobilized. ”

"This, it's really possible!" The military political commissar said with a wry smile.

"That's it, although we took a bit of a risk this time, but fortunately, we still achieved a major victory, and we have to commend Lin Dashan's kid.

So be it! You give him a call, give him a commendation, oh, by the way, don't just show him it directly, implying that the praise is that he is a general of the First Army after all. ”

"Haha, don't worry, I'll take care of this!"

……

The Third Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Red Army, Lin Dashan returned from the previous battle with the team, and before he could recover from the excitement, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Regiment commander, the phone number of the leader of the Fourth Front Army!" ”

"Leaders of the Four Fronts? Who is it? ”

"It seems to be a call from a military commissar!"

Lin Dashan shuddered and trotted towards the landline.

Han Xin had already come back with the Strange Soldier Team, and Lin Dashan, who was curious, asked Han Xin about Han Xin's overall plan this time, and he was also taken aback, anyway, he won the battle, thinking that this matter would pass like this, but he didn't expect it......

"Hey, good commissar! Lin Dashan, commander of the Third Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Red Army, reports to you! Before the phone, Lin Dashan respectfully said with a bit of ruffianism, and pretended to salute, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, "I saluted you!" ”

On the other end of the phone, the military political commissar's mouth twitched lightly and said, "Haha, Comrade Dashan!" I know you, this time you have done me a great favor to the Fourth Front Army, obediently, surrounded by two battalions, and managed to solve a division.

You say, should I give you a good notice and send a telegram so that everyone can also pay their respects to you? ”

"Sure enough!" Lin Dashan was shocked, but his mouth did not change, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, the leader is laughing, I, the little regiment leader, don't understand what you are talking about, isn't this a wonderful military performance directed and performed by your four front armies?" What does it have to do with me?

I just heard that my old comrades-in-arms are attacking the Dajie Temple, and I just helped a little bit! ”

"Really?"

"Really! I promise you! So, if you really want to commend me, just talk about it on the phone, and wouldn't it be too troublesome to send the whole telegram in this difficult time! ”

Lin Dashan played Tai Chi, the Red Army was strictly disciplined, merit was merit, and it was excessive, if a telegram was sent, wouldn't it be exposed.

Then you have to be scolded half to death by the old leader? In any case, Han Xin's kid's black cauldron, as the head of the regiment, Lin Dashan still has to carry it, besides, this matter was also sent by himself Han Xin's kid, that kid is really unambiguous, and he has such a big battle.

"Hahaha, okay, since you said so, Dashan, then I won't say more, then I can be regarded as having completed the task, and I have praised you by power!" On the other end of the phone, the military political commissar couldn't help but smile.

"Well, thank you Commissar, thank you Commissar!"

Lin Dashan put down the phone, broke out in a cold sweat, and said angrily: "What the hell is this weather, it's hot to death." ”

……

As the losing side, after Wu Chengren, commander of the 49th Division, returned to the headquarters, he did not care about asking for punishment and immediately mobilized the intelligence department to inquire about the situation of "that group of people." ”

In the end, the information obtained was that Lin Dashan, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Ninth Division, had a team of more than a dozen people under the regiment, named the "Strange Soldier Team", which had made meritorious contributions in many battles such as the Lugou Bridge and the Dadu River, and had strong combat effectiveness.

"Lin Dashan!" Wu Chengren read it a few times, full of hatred.

……

In this way, the initiator of this battle was investigated and investigated, and finally fell on Lin Dashan's head.

What a bite, big black cauldron!

……

After the battle of Baoza, Zhang Guotao proposed to go south again, and did not support the central government's policy of going north, and several meetings of persuasion failed, and finally, the central government decided to go north alone.

On September 12, the Central Red Army arrived at the Russian border and decided on the next course of action in order to expose and criticize Zhang Guotao's separatism.

The Central Committee convened a conference on the Russian border, which strengthened the Red Army's policy of going north.

The Red Fourth Front Army, under the bewilderment and leadership of Zhang, began the road to the south, of course, it turned out that the south was a dead end, this is a later story, not to mention for the time being.
