On January 4, 1935, after the Central Red Army broke through the Wujiang moat, Liu Bocheng, chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, known as the contemporary "Sun Wu", was ordered to capture Zunyi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Liu Bocheng received the order, he immediately led his troops to Tuanxi.

During the march, he gave Wang Chengcheng, the political commissar of the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Red Division, the task of seizing Zunyi.

He ordered the Sixth Regiment: "From Tuanxi through Xinchang and Longpingchang, 30 kilometers away from Zunyi City, there is a small town called Shenxishui, where there is 1 battalion of the enemy, which is the outlying stronghold of Zunyi. The task of your regiment is to cut off the tentacles of the enemy in Zunyi, and don't let him know, keep it secret, and annihilate it completely, and not let any of them slip through the net, otherwise the news of the enemy defending Zunyi will increase the difficulty of our siege. ”

He concluded by emphasizing: "Right now, our days are more difficult. It is necessary to fight the battle well, to have fewer casualties, and to save bullets. That's going to take a little more wisdom!"

The 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the 1st Red Army Corps was the vanguard of the whole regiment, pursuing the enemy fleeing by the river all the way, and the 6th Red Regiment was extremely tired at this time, but the political commissar Wang Chengcheng still firmly said: "Don't worry, Chief of General Staff!" We will certainly wipe out this enemy with lightning speed, so that no one will slip through the net. ”

At midnight on January 6, thunder roared, storms raged, and mist filled the sky. Such bad weather naturally added difficulties to the military operations of the Red Sixth Regiment, but at the same time paralyzed the enemy.

At this time, stationed in Shenxishui Town, the troops of the Yi Shaoquan Brigade of the Guizhou Army were basically some veteran oils, and in this bad weather, they would not have thought that the Red Army would attack here for a long time.

Therefore, the entire army, even the soldiers standing guard and sentry, relaxed their vigilance, and all hid in the camp to play mahjong and push pai gow, some of the "old smoking guns" were smoking big cigarettes, and some were simply sleeping.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the Red Sixth Regiment drove straight in and first cut the telephone line leading to the outside of the town, making the defending enemy a turtle in the urn. This was followed by a surprise attack on the negligent enemy.

When the gunshots rang out, the Guizhou army woke up like a dream, rushed to the battle, rushed left and right in the heavy rain, and tried to escape from the encirclement of the Red Sixth Regiment. However, all this was in vain, and part of the Qian's army, including the battalion commander, was killed, and the rest were taken prisoner.

In order to understand the situation in Zunyi City, the political commissar of the Red Sixth Regiment questioned more than a dozen prisoners overnight, explained to them the Red Army's prisoner policy, and gave each of them three pieces of ocean.

The soldiers of the Guizhou Army were usually deceived and propagandized by their commanders, saying that the Red Army was all blue-faced and fanged, and that the devil who killed people and set fires would gouge out their eyes and disembowelment once they were caught.

However, on the other hand, the Red Army commander in front of him was very clear-eyed, spoke extremely kindly and politely, and even gave himself a big ocean, and the captives were deeply moved, so they scrambled to tell everything they knew about the situation in Zunyi City.

The officers and men of Qian said very gratefully: "Our commander said that you killed people and set fires, red noses, green eyes, grabbed prisoners and gouged out their eyes and hearts, we are really afraid, I didn't expect you to be such good people!" ”

A company commander of the Qianjun Army also sighed and said: "I can't imagine that the Red Army is so good to us. If you are a prisoner, you don't fight, scold, or kill, and you still send the ocean, how dare the villain not serve. ”

Then he not only explained the fortifications of Zunyi and the position of the enemy, but also drew a sketch, and the other prisoners supplemented it to confirm that what he said was true.

The details of the enemy in Zunyi City have been found out, and the commander and political commissar of the Red Sixth Regiment decided to use the captives to defraud the city, so that they can not waste ammunition and do not hurt people.

Through patient persuasion of mobilization, these prisoners, who had been greatly favored by the Red Army, agreed to serve the Red Army.

Liu Bocheng praised the plan of the Sixth Regiment, and at the same time repeatedly advised: "Very good, it means that you have used your brains, but you must pretend to be like the White Army, and don't let the Zunyi defenders see the bloom." ”

Political Commissar Wang laughed and said: "From the Chief of the General Staff, you can rest assured, you don't need to pretend at all, we still have prisoners!" ”

Soon, Zeng Baotang, the commander of the first battalion of the Sixth Regiment, selected dozens of clever officers and soldiers, all of whom changed into the clothes of the White Army, and everyone sorted out each other with giggling, all wanting to fight to Zunyi as soon as possible.

A dozen or so captives who had been educated before were also grouped into the ranks, and they led the way at the forefront.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the Red Army in makeup and the prisoners who took the lead braved the pouring rain to march towards Zunyi City.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and under the black curtain of endless heavy rain, everything around seemed to be packed into a dark box at once, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen, only the lightning that suddenly exploded from time to time illuminated the road ahead.

The road that had just rained was so muddy that it was too slippery to walk.

From time to time, the sound of "plopping" fell sounded in the ranks of the first battalion, and almost every soldier fell a few times, and after a fall, everyone became a clay figure, and the soldiers sighed again and again, knowing that there was no need to disguise at all.

The straw sandals on the soldiers' feet got stuck in the mud and broke down when they were mentioned, so many simply threw away the straw sandals and continued to march on the muddy road made of broken stones and mud barefoot.

The night was getting darker, and they were getting closer and closer to Zunyi City, and the soldiers unconsciously quieted down and marched quietly and silently, and after a while they arrived at the gate of Zunyi City smoothly.

By this time, the heavy rain had stopped, and a little light could be seen through the night, hanging in the air.

The prisoners who were walking in front stopped and whispered to the commander of the Red Army: "Here we are, this is the light of the watchtower in Zunyi City." ”

When the time to test their acting skills came, the soldiers turned on their bodies, pretending to retreat and fleeing back, and hurriedly ran to the city gate.

"Stop! What for? A fierce question came out from the castle tower, and the bolt of the gun was also pulled with a "quack".

"Don't shoot, it's your own people!" Captive Guizhou Provincial accent came in handy.

"What part of you are from?" The castle tower asked again, this time with a noticeable slight slowdown in tone.

At this time, the captured company commander replied in accordance with what Director Wang, oh no, Political Commissar Wang taught them in advance: "We are from the outer battalion of Shenxishui Town, and today we were dumpled by the red bandits, the territory was lost, and the battalion commander also died."

I was the commander of a company, and I led some of my brothers to break through. Now the red bandits are still chasing us, you quickly open the city gate, for the sake of the fellow countrymen, pull the brothers, let us in, save us! ”

The enemy upstairs was suspicious when he heard this, and the flashlight on the city shone directly down, shining on the captive soldiers in front of him, and finally asked hesitantly: "What is the name of your battalion commander?" ”

The captive company commander replied without thinking, and there was no sound from the castle tower, apparently they were studying the situation.

In order not to give them time to think, Zeng Baotang instructed the captive company commander to shout: "Lao Tzu is Wang Shoucai, the commander of the second company of the first battalion of the Nine Rings Regiment, open the door quickly!" ”

"Trouble trouble dude! Save your brother's life! The Red Bandits are about to catch up! ”

"Oh! It's Company Commander Wang! Don't worry, we'll get down and open the door right away. "There are probably people on the city wall who know Commander Wang and can hear his voice.

It didn't take long for the heavy, thick door to squeak and slowly open.

The Red Army soldiers who had already prepared rushed in, and the soldiers of the Guizhou Army who opened the door still said in a daze: "Don't worry, don't worry, is the Red Army still in the future?" And you were terrified. ”

As soon as the words fell, the Red Army soldier who rushed in front of him suddenly fired his gun and replied humorously: "We are the Red Army, so are you afraid?" ”

"Ouch hey! You turned out to be the Red Army! The soldiers of the Qianjun army, who were poisoned by the propaganda of the commander, almost collapsed on the ground after speaking.

The Red Army fighters, who stormed the city gates, quickly climbed the tower, captured the defenders, and took control of the city gates. The Sixth Regiment followed it and rushed into the city like a gale.

At this time, dozens of trumpeters lined up all the way on the city wall, and sounded the trumpet in unison, and the majestic and passionate and powerful military trumpet sound woke up the sleeping mountain city of Zunyi, as if the Red Army had come at once.

The Zunyi defenders who woke up from the dream were all in chaos, and the wolves rushed to flee for their lives. Except for those killed and those who surrendered, the rest fled in panic from the North Gate, which the Red Army had deliberately released.

In the early morning of January 7, the Red Sixth Regiment occupied Zunyi, an important town in northern Guizhou, at a very small cost, opening a new page in the Chinese revolution.
