The battle at Qinggangpo was still raging, and even the bombardment of as many as 140 artillery pieces did not dampen the resistance of the Sichuan army, who relied on the favorable terrain to repel several attacks by the 1st Division

At the same time, the Second Division, which was responsible for the task of capturing the headquarters of the Sichuan Army, was also engaged in a difficult positional battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The headquarters of the Sichuan Army is located in Yong'an Temple, the command post of the Sichuan Army on the mountainside of Qinggangpo.

This temple is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Guo Xunqi is worthy of being a famous general in Sichuan, he knows that the Red Army has backward weapons, no heavy weapons, lack of ammunition, it is difficult for the Red Army to get close to this place, if you want to forcibly capture it, you must pay a heavy price.

Moreover, a large number of strong ring fortifications have been built around the command post, which can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

Guo Xunqi, nicknamed "Panda", calculated very carefully, but unfortunately he encountered the most well-armed Red Army unit of the Young Communist International Column.

At the beginning of the battle, the Sichuan army relied on the favorable terrain to arrange three layers of defensive firepower, and Ding Wei's second division failed to attack many times.

Subsequently, Ding Wei decisively changed the attack formation, first concentrating all the mountain artillery and mortars of the 2nd Division, a total of 40 artillery pieces, and firing at the same time.

In just a few minutes, the command post of the Sichuan army was bombarded into a sea of fire, almost all the fortifications were razed to the ground, and the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties.

Guo Xunqi never dreamed that the Red Army, which he had always regarded as a mud-legged army, would have such powerful artillery fire, so he immediately ordered a regiment to be sent to escort it, and strictly ordered the remnants of Yong'an Temple to resolutely resist the attack of the Red Army.

Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Division launched a fierce attack from both flanks, feigning a retreat from the front, and luring the enemy to turn to the two sides for defense.

The Sichuan army was really deceived, and the commando team headed by the special combat team suddenly jumped up and rushed straight to Yong'an Temple, and the commandos were each armed with a machine gun, and the automatic fire was extremely powerful.

The follow-up troops of the 2nd Division formed an outflanking trend at Yong'an Temple from three sides, and blocked the retreat of the Sichuan army with dozens of light and heavy machine guns.

Accompanied by the bombardment of artillery fire and the cover of machine guns, Wang Yongqing, the leader of the special operations detachment, led the assault team to open the way with firepower, and with rapid and ferocious movements, swept across the enemy in the field of vision like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and soon broke through the forward position of the Sichuan army.

Subsequently, the follow-up troops of the 2nd Division poured in from the breakthrough like the tide of the Qiantang River, and the remnants of the Sichuan army were powerless to resist, and all defensive lines collapsed at the touch of a button.

At this time, the assault team finally occupied Yong'an Temple, and the defenders of the Sichuan army command post were all annihilated, and the commander of the Sichuan army, Guo Xunqi, was also wounded and captured.

Guo Xunqi ordered the troops of a regiment of the Sichuan Army that came to reinforce them, but they were also hit hard by the artillery fire of the Second Division, and they were caught off guard and immediately fled in all directions.

Ding Wei sent two regiments of troops to take advantage of the situation to attack on both sides, and under the blow of the superior strength and powerful firepower of the Second Division, the reinforcements of the Sichuan Army were either captured or wiped out on the spot, and the Second Division won a complete victory in this battle.

After receiving the call from the Second Division, Zhang Cheng immediately instructed Ding Wei to do a good job of Guo Xunqi's work, and asked him to immediately give an order to the Sichuan army to order the rest of the troops to immediately give up resistance unconditionally, disarm and surrender, and the Red Army could guarantee the personal safety of all the surrendered officers and men of the Sichuan army.

After Zhang Cheng hung up the phone, he reported the good news from the Second Division to the commander-in-chief and the central leaders.

The commander was very happy when he heard this, the headquarters of the Sichuan army was defeated, and the battle of Tucheng was already in his hands.

The commander exclaimed: "This second division fought so well! The division commander's name is Ding Wei, right, this is an amazing general. Now Guo Panda is captured, I think the overall situation of this battle has been decided! ”

"Commander Zhang, just now I carefully observed the tactical attack of your unit, and found that the offensive tactics of the squad, platoon, and company are very mobile and flexible, and the tactical movements are extremely skillful, even if they attack in unfavorable terrain, the casualties are very few, what kind of tactic is this?"

Zhu Lao is always a person who knows soldiers, and when he saw that Shaozhong's tactical movements were obviously different from most of the Red Army, and they were much more advanced, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked Zhang Cheng on the spot.

Zhang Cheng also did not hide his personal interests, and introduced to the commanders and leaders the six operational principles summed up by the Northeast Field Army after experiencing countless wars in the Liberation War.

These six principles are: 1. One point and two sides; 2. Four fast and one slow; 3. Three fierce tactics; 4. Four groups and one team; 5. Three-three system; 6. Three different ways to play.

The commander-in-chief, the boss, and most of the central leaders were mostly people who knew the soldiers, and soon heard the benefits from the six operational principles, and their eyes lit up, and the boss immediately ordered the clerk to copy out the contents of Zhang Cheng's introduction, and to popularize and use them in the Red Army in the future.

Deputy Commander Zhou and other leaders praised Zhang Cheng for leading the troops in a good way, which made him blush a little bit, who has always been very thick-skinned.

Later, after Mr. Lin of the First Army heard about the six operational principles, he found that these principles coincided with the tactical style of play he had in mind, and he even introduced Zhang Cheng as a confidant.

After a while, the phone at the headquarters rang again, Zhang Cheng took the phone, and Ding Wei reported to Zhang Cheng, saying that Guo Xunqi himself was very stubborn, and even if he was captured, he would not give the order to surrender, and Zhang Cheng was also a little helpless at this time, after all, doing political and ideological work has always been his weakness.

At this time, Deputy Commander Zhou took the initiative to ask Ying and took the phone from Zhang Cheng's hand, saying that he wanted to talk to Guo Xunqi.

Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that Deputy Commander Zhou was not the leader of our party and our army who was the best at ideological work!

Sure enough, after Deputy Commander Zhou and Guo Xunqi answered, they didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Deputy Commander Zhou poured into Guo Xunqi, and Guo Xunqi quickly ordered the Sichuan army to surrender.

Moreover, the phone call between Deputy Commander Zhou and Guo Xunqi also made Guo Xunqi change his mind in the future, causing him to actively resist in the War of Resistance against Japan, and turned a deaf ear to Chang Kaishen's order to create friction with the New Fourth Army, and was removed by Chang Kaishen as a result.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chang Kaishen reactivated Guo Xunqi to fight the civil war, but Guo Xunqi not only joined the Workers' (Peasant Party) himself, but also pulled a large number of generals of the Kuomintang to revolt on the battlefield, and threw themselves into the arms of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, making Chang Kaishen so angry that he vomited blood.

As Guo Xunqi issued an order to all units of the Sichuan army to "stop resisting, disarm and surrender", the battle of Tucheng soon ended.

In this battle, our army captured and killed nearly 6,000 Sichuan troops.

Zhang Cheng's special operations brigade, which had high hopes, also performed very well, not only taking advantage of the chaos to capture the artillery positions of the Sichuan army, but also taking the opportunity to capture a large number of artillery pieces of the Sichuan army.

The outstanding achievements of the special operations brigade also aroused the interest of the commander-in-chief and the central leaders, and after asking Zhang Cheng about it, Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to peddle the commander-in-chief and the leaders with the concept of special operations for later generations.

When the commander-in-chief and the leaders heard that the special forces had carried out the decapitation tactic, dozens of special combat personnel could break through the enemy's headquarters, they were extremely shocked.

When Zhang Cheng said that the special forces have the characteristics of flexible establishment, capable personnel, excellent equipment, rapid mobility, well-trained, and strong combat effectiveness, everyone could not wait to establish the special forces of the Red Army Headquarters.

In the end, the commander-in-chief ordered Zhang Cheng to establish a special force for the central authorities, and everyone was very excited, because with such a force, the safety of the central leadership can be effectively guaranteed.
