From February 18 to 21 of the same year, the weather was cloudy and the temperature was still a good day.

In accordance with the orders of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the Central Red Army crossed the Chishui River from Taipingdu, Erlangtan and other ferries to the east and continued the footsteps of its Long March.

Then, with the Red 1st, 5th, and 9th Army Corps and the Military Commission Column as the left column, and the Red 3rd Army Corps as the right column, they rushed towards the Tongzi area, where the enemy's forces were relatively empty.

At the same time, a regiment of the Red Fifth Army marched towards warm water in order to attract and confuse the pursuing enemy.

On the 24th, the battle began, the first regiment of the Red First Army suddenly attacked Tongzi County, and the Guizhou Army of the National Army was defeated, abandoned the city and fled, retreating to Loushan Pass, causing a great sensation.

The Central Red Army crossed Chishui for the second time and returned to northern Qianbei, which completely exceeded the enemy's expectations. The three brigades of the Sichuan Army of the Nationalist Army hurriedly pursued them from the Tashi area to the east, but unfortunately, the Red Army moved quickly and fiercely threw them off for three or four days.

On the other hand, Wang Jialie, the commander of the Guizhou Army, saw that the main force of the Red Army had returned to northern Guizhou and that Loushanguan was in crisis, so he hurriedly dispatched troops from Zunyi and its vicinity to reinforce Loushanguan and Tongzi. For this reason, the 59th and 93rd Divisions of the 1st Column of Wu Qiwei of the Nationalist Army also marched towards Zunyi from Qianxi, Guiyang, and other areas, in an attempt to stop and encircle and annihilate the Red Army in Loushan Pass or the area north of Zunyi. The Shangguan Yunxiang Division of the Nationalist Army advanced from Chongqing to the Songkan area to prevent the Red Army from moving north, and cooperated with the plan to encircle and annihilate the Red Army.

In view of this situation, the upper echelons of the Red Army responded by ordering the troops to fight a quick battle, break through the blockade of the Guizhou army, occupy Loushan Pass and its southern area, and then take Zunyi to gain the initiative.

The order is given.

On February 25, the Central Red Army delayed the Sichuan Army in the northwest area of Tongzi with the Red Fifth and Red Ninth Army Corps, and concentrated the main force to take Loushan Pass in the south.

Loushan Pass, which was defended by the Du Zhaohua Brigade and the 15th Regiment of the Guizhou Army at that time.

At dawn that day, the 13th Regiment of the Red Third Army launched a fierce attack on the Guizhou army at Loushan Pass from north to south, and after fierce fighting, captured Loushan Pass on the evening of the same day and controlled the commanding heights - Dianjin Mountain.

In order to regain the lost main position, the Nationalist army increased its strength to six regiments and prevented several counterattacks, all of which were repulsed by the well-commanded Red Army.

Then, under the unified command of Peng Dehuai and other leaders, the 1st and 3rd Red Army Corps used the strength of one unit to lead the main enemy from the front, and concentrated their forces to detour from the two flanks to the Black Temple in the rear of the enemy, annihilating the enemy.

After the Central Red Army occupied Loushan Pass, the Red 1st and 3rd Red Army Corps pursued and pursued Zunyi. A day later, the Red Third Army defeated the blockade of the Sixth, Fifteenth, and Ninth Regiments of the Guizhou Army at Donggongsi, Gaoping, Banqiao, and other places.

Then, on the 27th, the Red Third Army defeated the 1st, 5th, and 8th regiments of the Guizhou Army in Shizipu and other places in Zunyi, and entered the city of Zunyi.

The remnants of the Guizhou army retreated into Zunyi and waited for reinforcements.

In the evening of the same day, the soldiers of the Red One and the Red Third Army Corps fought hard to launch a siege battle regardless of the fatigue of the day, and broke through the new city of Zunyi in one fell swoop, Wang Jialie hurriedly led the first and sixth regiments of the Guizhou Army to abandon the city and flee to the south, and then in the early morning of the 28th, the Red Army reoccupied Zunyi City (it had also occupied it before, and held a far-reaching Zunyi Conference here), and controlled the Honghuagang, Lao Yashan and other first-line highlands in the south of the city.

At this time, the 93rd Division of Wu Qiwei's column, which was reinforcing Zunyi, had entered Zhongzhuangpu, a former debut at Jiangqiao, two kilometers south of Zunyi City, and at the same time, the 59th Division of the National Army also entered a new station and was marching towards Zhongzhuangpu, attempting to carry out a major counteroffensive in Zunyi.

On February 28, after Wu Qiwei attacked Honghuagang with a regiment of troops and was frustrated, he turned the main force to Lao Ya Mountain, and after fierce fighting, captured the commanding heights of Lao Ya Mountain and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Red Army.

Unfortunately, the troops of the Guizhou Army were not as united as they imagined, and they cowered because of repeated blows by the Red Army.

In the face of this kind of opportunity that people could not laugh and cry and could take advantage of, the top level of the Central Red Army naturally would not let it go, and seized the powerful situation that Wu Qiwei's lone army went deep, the Guizhou army waited and watched, and the Sichuan army that was chasing after it was blocked in the area north of Tongzi, and concentrated all efforts to annihilate Wu Qiwei's troops in the Zhongzhuangpu area.

The battle began.

After the main force of the Red First Army broke through the position of the Guizhou Army from Shuishi Dam, it went straight to the headquarters of Wu Qiwei in Zhongzhuangpu, and the unexpected style of play made Wang Jialie flee to Xinchang in embarrassment, while Wu Qiwei hastily led the remnants of about a regiment to flee in the direction of the lazy bench.

The 1st Red Army immediately dispatched the 2nd Red Division, regardless of fatigue, to pursue hard, and occupied the lazy bench with a shortcut first, and the main force was inserted to the north bank of the general, cutting off the enemy's retreat.

Wu Qiwei was afraid of being captured alive, so he led the remnants to escape the Wujiang River first, and immediately cut off the pontoon bridge, which was considered to have escaped, and the more than 1,000 people and a large number of baggage materials that had not yet crossed the river were captured by the Red Army.

As for the enemy's 59th Division, which was stranded in the Laoyasan area, it was forced to go on the defensive, and at dusk that day, other reinforcements of the Red Army cooperated with the Red 3rd Army Corps to recapture the commanding heights of Laoyashan, annihilating most of the enemy, and the remnants of the enemy fled in the direction of Balishui and Yaxi.

At this point, the battle of Zunyi ended victoriously.

Sometimes the truth is so unexpected, the 59th Division of the enemy, which has been routed by the Nationalist army, fled to the vicinity of Balishui, and was halfway through the crossing of the river, when it suddenly came under heavy attack again.

It turned out that it was the Third Regiment of the Ninth Division where Han Xin was located that launched an attack on the enemy.

Originally, when Han Xin's statement that "the remnants of the enemy are very likely to escape from Balishui, a place where the Red Army is weak", was put forward, although Lin Dashan, the commander of the third regiment, adopted this opinion, he also had some drums in his heart, especially when he waited and waited for almost a day but still couldn't see half of the enemy's shadow, he was even more suspicious of Han Xin's words.

Lin Dashan was a little irritable, in this battle of the second crossing of Chishui, his three regiments were almost constantly shifting and running, and there was no chance to contact the enemy at all, which was suffocating him who loved to fight!

And this is also the reason why he believed Han Xin's judgment with little hesitation this time, but at this moment he regretted it a little, feeling that he might think highly of Han Xin, after all, he was a recruit, and he couldn't be regarded as a last resort!

However, when the 59th Division of the National Army suddenly appeared, Lin Dashan was shocked and surprised! I was surprised that the enemy really came, and what was shocked was that although this damn enemy was the remnants of the enemy, the number was far more than one regiment, and I was afraid that there were still two regiments of troops, and I was afraid that it was a difficult bone to gnaw.

But this mood did not affect Lin Dashan for long, and he was quickly ignited by the morale of the soldiers who were eager for victory, and they all said that there were no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and sure enough, they rushed forward one by one with a scream.

However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, the main force of the Red Army was still far from here, and the 59th Division of the National Army was also a well-known contingent of the National Army.

The three regiments have few people, but in Han Xin's words, they have taken advantage of the time and place, the Red Army is waiting for work, and the enemy army is exhausted; The morale of the Red Army was high, and the enemy troops were exhausted and rushed to respond; The Red Army held the advantage on both sides, while the enemy was based on pontoon bridges and had little room to dodge.

On an additional note, the third regiment had only passed through the battle of Gufeng Town, and almost the entire regiment was equipped with the latest guns.

I saw that under the command of Lin Dashan, many officers and men of the three regiments pulled grenades together, and then a rain of grenades fell, blowing up the 59th Division in an uproar, and the originally prepared attack formation was instantly crushed.

"Why is this group of bandits so fierce?" The commander of the 59th Division was almost blinded, and he didn't care about looking for any more reasons, so he shouted: "Withdraw, give me a retreat, and cross the river quickly." ”

"Division commander, withdraw, can't withdraw."

"Fart" The commander of the 59th Division glared, but soon he smiled bitterly, looking at the Red Army troops that also rushed out on the other bank, he knew that it was all over.

The battle did not last long, and a few hours later, under the slogan of the Red Army "Preferential treatment of prisoners, all are Chinese", the 59th Division of the Nationalist Army was again defeated, taking nearly a thousand prisoners.

Then the commander of the 59th Division was captured alive, which drew a perfect end to the battle of Zunyi.

According to statistics, in this battle, within five days, the Red Army took Tongzi, occupied Loushan Pass, and then captured Zunyi City, defeated and annihilated two enemy divisions and eight regiments, killed and wounded more than 2,400 enemies, captured more than 3,000 people, and captured a large number of military supplies.

It was the greatest victory since the Long March under the command of Mao Zedong and by giving full play to the advantages of the Red Army's mobile warfare.

Among them, the performance of the Lin Dashan Division of the Third Regiment of the Ninth Division was extremely outstanding, and the regiment commander Lin Dashan was ordered by Chairman Mao to convey the praise to the three armies, and the glory was unique for a while.

This victory greatly boosted the morale of the entire Red Army and dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the enemy, especially the troops of Chiang Kai-shek's descendants.

Even Chiang Kai-shek admitted that this was "a great shame since the pursuit of the Nationalist army", and at the same time, it also made the old Chiang even more jealous of the Red Army and more determined to completely destroy the Red Army.
