Chapter 105 Righteousness

The International Column of the Young Communist Party won the first battle, and with less than 1,000 casualties, it completely annihilated nearly 10,000 model divisions, known as the strongest army in the Sichuan Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This great victory soon spread throughout the army, and encouraged by the great victory of the Shao Zong, other Red Army units also performed exceptionally, defeating the Sichuan army on other fronts one after another, and reporting the victory to the new central leadership.

In particular, the 3rd and 5th Army Corps under the command of General Peng successfully blocked the reinforcements of the Sichuan Army and won the victory of defeating the two regiments of the Sichuan Army under the condition that they were not superior in strength and weapons.

This battle strongly supported the battle of Shaozong at Qinggangpo, and laid a solid foundation for the final victory of the Battle of Tucheng.

After the Battle of Tucheng, the first battle of the commander's comeback was fired, and the central leaders such as Deputy Commander Zhou, Mr. Zhu, and Zhang Luofu were all convinced and congratulated the commander.

Zhang Luofu said to the commander sincerely in front of everyone: "Lao Mao! The military command still depends on you! ”

In the face of the facts, Comrade Bogu had no choice but to bow his arrogant head to the commander-in-chief, recognize the position of the commander-in-chief, and begin to change his mentality, gradually move closer to the commander-in-chief, and accept the commander-in-chief's leadership with pleasure and convincingness.

When Liu Xiang, the chief warlord of the Sichuan army, received the news of the annihilation of Guo Xunqi's model division, he was so heartbroken that he almost fainted, and scolded Pan Wenhua, the commander-in-chief of the southern Sichuan front, who was in charge of the front-line command.

He was then ordered not to advance alone, but to stay away from the Red Army for 100 miles, and not to approach or provoke the Red Army, so as not to suffer any more heavy losses from the Red Army.

From then on, the Sichuan army was afraid of the Red Army like a tiger, and its arrogance gradually subsided, and when it heard the name of the Red Army, it retreated.

In the battle of Tucheng, Shaozong only lost more than 400 people and suffered 600 wounded, and the six basic operational principles implemented by Zhang Cheng were fruitful and played a huge role, even in the fierce battle with the Sichuan army, the casualties of Shaozong were negligible.

Not only that, our army captured a lot in this battle, and the ammunition consumed by the small column was not only replenished, but also had a large surplus, Zhang Cheng ordered the troops to make up for the loss of the Tucheng battle, and generously let out the other captures and handed them over to the central government.

This move was especially appreciated by the commander-in-chief, and then the commander-in-chief distributed this batch of weapons and ammunition to the legions in the name of Zhang Cheng, clearly saying that this was Shaozong's support for the major legions, which made the bosses of the major legions give Zhang Cheng a thumbs up and praise him is really interesting.

Nearly 10,000 guns were seized by the Young Column, and this undoubtedly satisfied the needs of most of the Red Army's various units, and with the strong support of the Young Column, the Red Army basically achieved one gun per man, greatly enhancing its combat effectiveness.

As for the handling of the prisoners of the Sichuan army, in addition to collecting 800 prisoners who had voluntarily joined the Red Army, at the signal of the commander-in-chief, Shaozong released all the more than 6,000 prisoners, including Guo Xunqi, and returned a lot of the prisoners' personal property to the original state.

As for the commander of the Sichuan army, Guo Xunqi, the Red Army treated him very well according to the prisoner policy. In fact, Guo Xunqi was a progressive soldier in history.

Guo Xunqi, the word Yizhi, nicknamed Panda. He came from a humble background, joined the army as a teenager, and in 1912 he joined the Tibetan recruits and went west with the army. He fought in Tibet for several years, and returned to Shu in 1915 to serve as a platoon, company, battalion, and regiment commander in Pan Wenhua's department. In 1921, he joined Pan Tou and Liu Xiang, Pan served as the commander of the Fourth Division, and he served as the commander of the Seventh Brigade.

After taking refuge in Liu Xiang, Guo Xunqi made outstanding achievements in battle, commanded effectively, and was very appreciated by Liu Xiang, so he was soon promoted to deputy division commander.

Liu Xiang knew that he was good at fighting tough battles, sympathized with the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and had a friendship with Liu Bocheng, a high-ranking member of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, so he sent him to block the Red Army's entry into Sichuan, so that as long as the Red Army did not enter Sichuan Province, he would "act with a camera."

No one expected that Guo Xunqi would fight so fiercely as soon as he encountered the Red Army, and in the end, Liu Xiang relied on the model division of Gancheng and was completely annihilated by the Red Army.

On the evening of the 28th, Mr. Liu, who was Guo Xunqi's old friend, invited him to dinner, and Zhang Cheng also came to accompany him.

During the banquet, everyone treated each other sincerely, so that he gradually eliminated his vigilance, especially when it came to combat command, everyone was a person who knew the soldiers very well, and they really talked happily.

In the end, Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to go out to relieve himself, pulled Guo Xunqi outside, and said to Guo Xunqi in a low voice: "Now the Japanese invaders have occupied the vast territory in the northeast and even inside and outside the Great Wall, and tens of millions of people outside the customs have become slaves of the Japanese invaders. This is a shame for every Chinese soldier. The Red Army, on the other hand, had no intention of staying in Sichuan Province.

The ultimate goal of the Red Army is to go north to resist Japan and establish a wide range of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in the northern region, the Red Army does not want to fight a civil war all the time, fighting a civil war is to consume the vitality of the Chinese army, which is extremely unfavorable to the overall situation of resistance against Japan in the future, I hope that Division Commander Guo can convey the will of our army to Liu Xiang, and you can also stand up and realize the greatest value of being a Chinese soldier when the national crisis is at hand. ”

Guo Xunqi was greatly moved after hearing this, and his resentment against Zhang Cheng's troops for destroying him disappeared as a matter of course, and he repeatedly promised that he would oppose the civil war and actively resist the Japanese.

Later, Guo Xunqi's actions also fulfilled his promise tonight, and he made great contributions to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the people's liberation.

On the morning of the 29th, the Red Army happily released Guo Xunqi and more than 6,000 of his subordinates in accordance with its promise.

After Guo Xunqi returned to Sichuan to see Liu Xiang, he was unexpectedly scolded by Liu Xiang, and wanted to remove him from his post and investigate.

However, after Guo Xunqi repeated what Zhang Cheng said during the banquet to Liu Xiang, he saw that he brought back more than half of the men, so he took advantage of the situation to deal with Guo Xunqi lightly, and only demoted from deputy division commander to brigade commander, but the command of the unit was not deprived, making him guilty and meritorious service.

At the same time, at a time when the Red Army was celebrating victory, the commander-in-chief enjoyed only a moment of joy and was not sunk by a momentary victory.

The commander-in-chief soberly realized that the annihilation of Guo Xunqi's unit of the Sichuan Army only eased the tension of the Red Army for a while, and did not fundamentally reverse the grim situation in which the Red Army was surrounded on all sides.

From the beginning of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" to the transfer to Sichuan Province, Chang Kaishen seemed to be open, pursuing the Red Army with one hand and solving the warlords with the other, whether it was the Red Army or the warlords in various places, they have always been in the midst of Chang Kaishen's profound calculations, their actions have been restricted everywhere, and they have to pay huge sacrifices for every step, and the intention of strategic transfer has not been achieved for a long time, and they have been defeated all the way.

After moving to the southwest, away from the ruling core of Chang Kaishen, the situation improved somewhat, but it still did not fundamentally solve the passive situation of the Red Army.

Chang Kaishen could easily grasp the Red Army's intentions from the movements of the Red Army.

This time the northward crossing of the Yangtze River into western Sichuan to join the Red Fourth Front Army was originally a relatively well-thought-out plan, and once the two armies succeeded in joining forces, the passive situation of the revolution would be greatly improved.

However, as soon as the plan was implemented, Chang Kaishen had already thoroughly seen through the strategic intentions, and coupled with the lack of suddenness in the actions of the Red Army troops, Chang Kaishen had already been prepared to take advantage of the huge advantage of strategic resources to be ahead of the Red Army step by step.

It seems that it will be very difficult for the Red Army to realize its original plan of crossing the Yangtze River north and the Fourth Front Army!

The commander-in-chief deeply felt that the only way to change the situation now was for us to take the initiative and not passively be led by the enemy's nose. To achieve this goal, it must be a surprise soldier, and Chang Kaishen must be left without a trace.

The commander-in-chief suddenly thought that since Chang Kaishen had learned of the Red Army's plan to cross the Yangtze River north, why not come up with a plan?

The Red Army continued to assume the posture of crossing the Yangtze River to the north to attract the attention of the enemy. However, he can be appropriately diverted in the middle of the way, secretly cross Chen Cang, return to Qianbei, and kill him back to the horse gun.

The commander's thinking gradually became clear, and a plan that the commander cited as a lifelong masterpiece gradually took shape.
