On March 30, Chang Kaishen, who was in Guiyang, suddenly received a telegram from Xue Yue from the front line that the Central Red Army had crossed the Wujiang River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This telegram made Chang Kaishen puzzled for a while, two days earlier, Xue Yue was still saying that he was fighting fiercely with the main force of the red bandits in northern Qianbei, why did the red bandits cross the Wujiang River to the south as soon as possible?

Niang Hippi! It seems that Zhu Mao's plan to attack the west is again.

"Hiss......" Chang Kaishen couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the map on the wall.

The Red Bandits aren't here for me, are they? They are too bold to attack Guiyang!

Impossible, Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou Province, where did the red bandits have the strength to attack the provincial capital?

I must still want to go east to Xiangxi to join He Long, and I can't fall for Zhu Mao anymore.

However, Chang Kaishen soon received a report from the front and a telegram sent back by an air force reconnaissance plane, all of which indicated that after crossing the river, the Zhu Mao Red Army immediately turned back to the southeast and divided its troops into three routes to advance in the direction of Kaiyang north of Xifeng, with an obvious goal, directed at Guiyang, where Chang Kaishen was located.

"Niang Xipi, Zhu Mao really dares to come and beat me!"

Lao Chang felt that he had miscalculated, and he was frightened, but he still maintained a calm look on his face, and hurriedly summoned Chen Cheng, Xue Yue and others to a meeting to study countermeasures.

After repeated discussions and analysis, Chang Kaishen and a leading general, who did not know the strength of the Red Army, still stubbornly believed that the Zhu Mao Red Army was trying to march east to Xiangxi to join the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, or else it would go south to the Guizhou-Yunnan border to cross the Jinsha River.

Therefore, in response to the conclusion of the meeting, Chang Kaishen once again made a deployment of troops and sent several large armies to block the road for the Red Army to move south or east.

At this time, the Red Army, under the command of the commander-in-chief, had already become a large force of more than 80,000 men, and after crossing the Wujiang River, the Red Army decided to divide its troops into three routes:

The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Army Corps went south to point to Guiyang;

The Red Ninth Army continued to feint in northern Qianbei to confuse Chang Kaishen's main force;

The International Column of the Young Communist Party led by Zhang Cheng went north to western Sichuan, aiming directly at Luzhou and seizing the Yangtze River crossing, so as to prepare for the future crossing of the Yangtze River by the main force of the Red Army.

At the same time as our army was divided, the Red Ninth Army Corps still disguised itself as the main force of the Red Army and continued to march eastward in two directions, vowing to march into western Hunan to join the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, and sent a small number of troops to constantly collect boats, planks, and other tools for crossing the river at the coastal ferries.

Chang Kaishen saw the telegrams sent back by the air force reconnaissance plane every day in Guiyang City, and gradually felt that the Red Army was still under his control.

He began to urge the pursuing troops to speed up their march every day and complete the encirclement of the Red Army as soon as possible.

However, on April 4, news suddenly came back from the front that a unit of the Red Army was showing signs of movement in the direction of Guiyang.

Chang Kaishen scoffed, believing that this was a false impression deliberately created by the Red Army, aiming to let the Central Army return to Guiyang and cover the main force to cross the river.

When the time came to April 5th, Chang Kaishen sat down on the sofa with the information he had just sent, and said dejectedly: "Niang Xipi! I'm in the vermilion again! ”

Although he couldn't believe it, Chang Kaishen knew that his worries had become a reality, and he asked calmly after a while, "Xue Yue, what part of the red bandits who attacked Guiyang?" ”

"Report to the commission, it is the main force of the Red Bandits, the First Legion and the Third Legion." Xue Yue replied cautiously.

"Mother Hippy! It's the two trump cards of the red bandits, and it seems that the red bandits are coming for someone who is often me! Go and call Chen Cheng and them to come to a meeting to study it. Although Chang Kaishen was very worried in his heart, his tone was still very soft.

Chang Kaishen called a large group of people for a meeting, and finally he pretended to decide that he was going to fly to Kunming to ask Long Yun to lead troops to relieve the siege of Guiyang, and told the generals to work together to defend Guiyang, and when he returned to Guiyang, he would definitely lead a large army to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and annihilate the Red Army in Guiyang Yunyun.

Chen Cheng, Xue Yue and others below naturally sang praises, praising Chairman Chang for strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and so on.

Subsequently, Chang Kaishen took the opportunity to hand over the responsibility of Guiyang's city defense to Guo Siyan, commander of the 99th Division and commander of the Guiyang garrison.

At noon on April 5, the 2nd Division of the 1st Red Army had arrived in the southeast of the suburbs of Guiyang City, and appeared openly under the city of Guiyang, forming a huge deterrent to the Kuomintang troops left behind in Guiyang.

At this moment, at the heavily guarded Guiyang Airport, a large group of people hurriedly boarded a military transport plane, and the leader boarded the boarding ladder with a clear bald head and a gloomy face, as if he was trying his best to suppress the monstrous anger in his heart.

The plane took off, and the bald head glanced at Guiyang City looming under the clouds through the plane window, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he said in his heart: "Lao Mao, Lao Mao, I didn't expect that my Chang Kaishen would be kicked out of Guiyang by you one day." We'll see, I'll be back. ”

At the same time that Chang Kaishen fled from Guiyang in a hurry, the Central Red Army was making intensive siege preparations, and in order to take a fortified city, Zhang Cheng specially left the Young Column Artillery Regiment to the command of the Central Red Army before leaving.

The Central Revolutionary Military Commission formed a siege front command, with General Lin of the First Army serving as the commander-in-chief of the siege, and commanding the attack on Guiyang in a unified manner.

Due to the strong political offensive taken by the Red Army when attacking, the people in Guiyang City were panicked, and when the Red Army attacked, the defenders of Guiyang had no intention of fighting at all, and were soon broken through the north gate by the Red Army.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the 1st Army Corps and the 2nd Division captured the last position held by the enemy, the enemy's general headquarters defending the city.

Guo Siyan, commander-in-chief and commander of the 99th Division of the Central Army, did not have the idea of being loyal to Chang Kaishen, and surrendered to the Red Army very happily.

At this point, the battle to capture Guiyang City was declared over, and the Red Army annihilated more than 15,000 people, including the 99th Division of the Central Army and the Guizhou Army Security Regiment, and captured a large number of military and political leaders of the Guizhou Provincial People's Party.

In this battle, the Red Army captured the provincial capital city guarded by the Kuomintang army for the second time after Mr. Peng's attack on Changsha in 1930, which shook the whole country and even foreign consulates.

On April 8, the International Column of the Young Communist Party led by Zhang Cheng had quietly entered Luzhou City.

The officers and men of the young column put on the uniforms of the Sichuan army captured in the previous wars, and the whole army disguised themselves as Sichuan army troops, starting from Zunyi, swaggering through the area between Xuyong and Gulin, and the defenders of the two places did not notice it at all.

Then the small column and the large army passed through Maling, Lianhua, Jiangmen, Huaguo and other areas, all the way to Luzhou unstoppable.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of 9 April, Zhang Cheng led his troops to Chatang Village, which was only 30 miles away from Luzhou, and joined up with the special operations brigade that had arrived ahead of schedule.

The special operations brigade has completely controlled the situation in Chatang Village, Zhang Sanhe has also personally entered Luzhou City to reconnoitre, and the garrisons in the city have all been transferred by Pan Wenhua to Qianbei to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and there is only one local garrison brigade with about 5,000 guns.

Considering that the special operations brigade had few people, and Luzhou was a port city with developed commerce, Zhang Sanhe was afraid of leaking the news, so he did not take action and only waited for Zhang Cheng to lead the main force to arrive.

When the people in the teahouse saw Zhang Cheng's troops and saw that they were all wearing the clothes of the Sichuan army, they ran away in a swarm.

In Sichuan Province in recent years, the Sichuan warlords have had frequent civil wars, either you beat me or I beat you, and the people have suffered a lot of crimes, so when they see the soldiers, they subconsciously want to run.

Zhang Cheng sat in a big room in the teahouse, listening to Zhang Sanhe's report, while his thoughts were running rapidly, and what he was thinking about was how to take Luzhou unknowingly? (To be continued.) )
