"Commander Zhang Cheng, Political Commissar Xiao Hua, hello!" Zhang Cheng and the political commissar turned their heads and saw that it was Chen Geng, the head of the cadre regiment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen is even more old and revolutionary, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar are considered small characters in front of them, the two of them dare not slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Brother Chen is good!" ”

"Brother Zhang Cheng, Brother Xiao Hua, this is your two troops! Sure enough, it lives up to its name! Chen Geng said with envy.

"Yes! Today all three of our divisions have come. ”

"Good! Good! Good! Refreshed and well-armed, it looks like a particularly combat-ready team. Our Red Army has this kind of troops, and the victory of the revolution can be expected! Chen even praised again and again.

Zhang Cheng knew that Chen Geng was also a general who knew the soldiers, and he had experienced a hundred battles, so he must have already seen Shaozong's extraordinary combat effectiveness.

Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua had already become more familiar with Chen when they were in the Soviet District, and several people were not outside, chatting enthusiastically and reminiscing about the past.

After a while, the leaders of the central committee also came over, and the commander was surrounded by all the leaders in great strides, and he was in good spirits on happy occasions, and he looked extremely refreshed when he returned to the core leadership post, and his spirit was flying between expectations.

He was surrounded by Mr. Zhu, Deputy Commander Zhou, Zhang Luofu, Wang Jiashen and others.

Zhang Cheng and the political commissar hurriedly greeted them with several division commanders, and meticulously completed the upright salute, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar said at the same time: "Report to the commander, the chiefs." ”

"Good! Good! Good! What a mighty and majestic army, our Red Army has such a unit, why worry that the great cause of revolution cannot be accomplished? I want to pay tribute to the heroic International Column of the Young Communist Party! ”

After speaking, the commander raised his hand and waved to all the officers and men of the young column standing on both sides of the road.

The officers and soldiers of the young column shouted in unison: "Good commander!" Salute to the Commander-in-Chief! ”

The slogans shouted by the officers and men of the Young Column resounded one after another, resounding through the sky, and the commander-in-chief was also very excited that he had won so many military hearts, and frequently waved to the officers and men of the Young Column.

At this moment, the other central leaders all deeply felt the appeal of the commander in the army and showed shock on their faces.

After about 30 minutes, the commander-in-chief led the central leaders to inspect all the officers and men of the International Column of the Young Communist Party, and finally made a brief speech to the officers and men of the Young Column, highly appreciating the past achievements of the Young Column, and encouraging the Young Column to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, become an invincible and invincible modern army, and make new contributions to the cause of the Chinese revolution and the liberation of the people!

The commander-in-chief's speech has brought tremendous spiritual encouragement and tremendous motivation to all the officers and men of the Young Column, and this speech is also a profound memory that the officers and men of the Young Column will remember in their minds, and the commander's imposing and surging leadership style has left an unforgettable impression on all the officers and men for a lifetime.

After accepting the review of the central leadership, Shaozong immediately opened his way and began to go north into Sichuan.

Zhang Cheng knew that as early as 20 January, the central authorities had already issued an official order on the "Operational Plan of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission on Crossing the River."

The contents of this battle plan were extremely detailed and the arrangements were also very detailed, and the fundamental objective of the Central Red Army once again being clearly defined was to cross the Yangtze River north between Luzhou and Yibin in southern Sichuan and to join up with the Red Fourth Front Army on the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu border.

The battle plan clearly stipulates the operational policy and combat tasks of the Central Red Army.

The battle plan also put forward the requirements of the Red Second Army, the Red Sixth Army Corps, and the Red Fourth Front Army to respond to the Central Red Army.

At present, the Central Red Army's basic policy is to move from the northern Guizhou region to a new territory after crossing the river through southern Sichuan, and to carry out a general counteroffensive from the northwestern Sichuan front in coordination with the four front armies.

The whole army was divided into three columns, the right column, the central column, and the left column, and the respective routes of march and the division of tasks were stipulated.

At the same time, the 2nd and 6th Army Corps of the Red Army, which were operating in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and the 4th Front Army of the Red Army, which were operating in the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, were ordered to urgently coordinate with each other.

The young column commanded by Zhang Cheng undertook the important task of the middle column.

But the troops did not go smoothly along the way, and there were always small units of the Guizhou army active around the army, which was overwhelmed.

Zhang Cheng immediately decided to teach the Guizhou army a profound lesson before leaving Guizhou Province, so that they would be terrified when they heard the name of the Red Army.

He ordered the reconnaissance battalion to capture a reconnaissance company of the Guizhou army, and then deliberately revealed false information and then released them, and the released prisoners really led the large army of the Guizhou army into the ambush circle of the third division behind the Shaozong Palace, and after a big battle, the third division eliminated nearly 1,000 people of the Guizhou army, but the casualties of the third division were negligible.

This battle was a powerful warning and deterrent to the warlords of all walks of life in the Guizhou army, and the Guizhou army, which had suffered heavy losses, no longer dared to approach the Red Army at will, and could only watch the large forces of the Red Army pass through their territory.

After driving out the annoying Qianjun army, Zhang Cheng knew that the crisis of the Red Army had not been resolved, because as early as the 19th, Chang Kaishen's "plan for 'encircling and suppressing' the Central Red Army on the south bank of the Yangtze River" sent to all departments of the Kuomintang Army had already been deciphered by our army.

From the intelligence, Zhang Cheng had already learned that the strategic plan of the Central Red Army to cross the river and go north had actually been exposed.

In order to rush across the Yangtze River when the enemy is fully prepared, the difficulties and dangers are very great.

Zhang Cheng knew that in history, the Red Army was implemented according to the original plan, and as a result, it caused the defeat of Tucheng and caused heavy casualties to the Red Army.

Looking at this battle plan, which caused a fiasco in history, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to do for a while.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to resolutely implement the plan of the Central Military Commission and adapt to the situation in the course of action, believing that with the combat effectiveness of the small column, the KMT army would never be given an opportunity to take advantage of.

As early as the beginning of the Central Red Army's entry into northern Guizhou, Chang Kaishen had already judged that the Red Army might cross the Yangtze River north, so he ordered Xue Yue's division of the Central Army of the Kuomintang and Wang Jialie's division of the Guizhou army to cross the Wujiang River to pursue it, and Liu Xiang of the Sichuan army entered southern Sichuan to block the attack.

Liu Xiang, who was seriously vigilant against the Central Red Army's attempt to enter Sichuan, also further strengthened his precautions along the Yangtze River.

On the same day that the Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued the "Operational Plan for Crossing the River," Guo Xunqi, commander of the Third Brigade of Liu Xiangjiao, led the brigade and the independent Fourth Brigade under his command to cross the Sichuan-Guizhou border and enter the warm water concealment in Guizhou.

Wenshui is located in the traffic artery, strategic location, south to Tongzi, west to Tucheng are only 40 kilometers, and the Central Red Army garrison Liangcun is adjacent.

Guo Xunqi quietly lurked all the men and horses of the two brigades beside the large forces of the Central Red Army.

However, for several days in a row, the 1st, 5th, and 9th Army Corps of the Right Route Army of the Central Red Army were unaware of it, although they successively passed by them.

The Party Central Committee under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief is still moving troops in accordance with the established policy and in a step-by-step manner, and everything seems to have gone extremely smoothly for several days.

On the 24th, the Red First Army of the right column of the Central Red Army broke through the resistance of the three regiments of the Hou Zhidan Department of the Guizhou Army, successfully captured Tucheng, and then advanced in the direction of Chishui City.

On the same day, the Red Fifth Army Corps and the Red Ninth Army Corps of the Central Column captured Sanyuanchang and Xishui City; The Red Third Army Corps of the left column occupied Huilongchang, Linjiangchang, Zhoujiachang and other places southeast of Tucheng.

On the morning of the 26th, the 5th Division of the Sichuan Army and the 1st Brigade of the Instructor each arrived in Chishui County.

On the same day, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the 1st Red Army Corps of the Central Red Army's right column, which were advancing north to Chishui City, were respectively attacked by the Sichuan army at Wanglongchang and Fuxingchang in the southeast of Chishui.

At this moment, Guo Xunqi's division of the Sichuan army, which had been dormant for many days, suddenly dispatched to pursue the Fifth Army Corps to Mulan Dam, and the Fifth Army Corps confronted the enemy in Sanyuanchang.

On the 26th, the 1st Red Army began to carry out its plan to capture the county seat of Chishui.

The 1st Red Division was in the direction of Hushi and Wanglong in the north, and the 2nd Red Division crossed the Chishui River in the south; In the direction of Bingtan and Fuxing, the two divisions jointly formed an encirclement posture against Chishui County.

Because the Red First Division's disguised surprise attack plan was discovered by the Sichuan army, a situation of short-handed combat was formed, and later with the continuous investment of troops on both sides, it evolved into an offensive and defensive battle between the two sides.

Because the Sichuan army occupied a geographical advantage, had sophisticated weapons and equipment, and was very fierce and tenacious in the battle, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides, the Red First Division had to withdraw from the battle.

The 2nd Red Division encountered two regiments of the Sichuan Army near Fuxing, nine kilometers from the county seat of Chishui, and since the Sichuan Army arrived earlier, the terrain was very unfavorable to the 2nd Red Division.

Fuxing was surrounded by mountains on three sides and a river on the other, and the forces of the Red Second Division could not be deployed at all, and later under the counterattack of the reinforced Sichuan army, it was also forced to withdraw from the battle.

The Red Ninth Army, which cooperated with the Red First Army, encountered the Sichuan Army's Xu Guoxuan Division at Jiantan, an important town in northwest Guizhou, and the two sides tore apart in the narrow river valley for a whole day, unable to repel the Sichuan Army that was constantly receiving reinforcements, so they had to move closer to the Red First Army.

At this point, the Red First Army was unable to achieve the strategic goal of occupying Chishui County.

At present, it seems that the plan to cross the Yangtze River from southern Sichuan is unfavorable, and the Sichuan army has long been prepared for it.

At noon on the 26th, the International Column of the Young Communist Party protected the Central Column and arrived at Tucheng.
