Chapter 119: The Empty City

After Shaozong completely took the Luzhou Ferry, controlled the north and south shores, and made proper arrangements for the transport ships, Zhang Cheng immediately sent a report to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, informing Shaozong that he had completed the task of seizing Luzhou Ferry delivered by the central authorities.

The commander-in-chief and the leaders of the central committees were very excited when they received the good news from the young commander, all worries were swept away, and the whole army could finally cross the Yangtze River as soon as possible.

As a result, the Central Military Commission immediately ordered the major corps of the Red Army to rush to the Luzhou ferry at full speed and forcibly cross the Yangtze River.

With the commander's order, the entire southwest land shook again.

If we look at the entire southwest land from the air, we can see that there are two huge arrows that are moving completely opposite each other and are rushing forward frantically.

At this time, our army has completely seized the opportunity and has a clear goal, and there is no doubt that it will reach the Luzhou ferry first, and the 300,000 troops of the Kuomintang will once again be left behind the Red Army and eat fart.

On the morning of April 11, the Central Army, the Yunnan Army, and the Sichuan Army, which had not encountered any resistance along the way, arrived at the outskirts of Guiyang and surrounded Guiyang.

The reconnaissance team soon sent a report that the huge Guiyang turned out to be an empty city, and the red bandits seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they didn't even see a trace.

Xue Yue took the reconnaissance report, his face turned blue and white, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped.

At this time, he felt as if a boxer had used the power of the wilderness, and only to punch in the air, and this huge sense of loss really made him sour.

Xue Yue was walking around in the temporary headquarters outside the city, and his head hurt terribly.

The assembly of 300,000 troops, a whole week of day and night, and finally let the red bandits escape, how to explain this to the chairman of the committee!

Just when Xue Yue was extremely depressed in order to get an empty city, Pan Wenhua of the Sichuan army and Sun Du of the Dian army successively learned that Guiyang was an empty city, and they were overjoyed.

They knew that Guiyang was the temporary capital of the Soviet Government of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and that the recovery of Guiyang was to attack the capital of the enemy.

So, they didn't even say hello to Xue Yue, and rushed towards Guiyang City.

Whether it was the Dian army or the Sichuan army, they all wanted to enter Guiyang first, so as to ask the chairman for a reward.

As a result, more than 100,000 people flocked to the city gate of Guiyang, and everyone scrambled to be the first.

Without any surprise, a fierce clash broke out between the two armies due to crowding.

At first, everyone kept their senses, just fighting with their bare hands, and finally after someone was beaten to death, the soldiers of the two armies, who had lost their minds, also used their rifles.

When tragedy is destined to happen, it is often not reversed by human will.

A small brawl eventually turned into an engagement between the Sichuan and Dian armies, and fierce fighting broke out between the two armies around the city gates, and the entire city of Guiyang erupted in heavy gunfire.

When Xue Yue heard the sound of gunfire coming from Guiyang, he thought that he had caught the red bandits, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he was about to reorganize his troops and horses and rush in.

As a result, the reconnaissance unit came to report that there was an internal conflict between the Dian and Sichuan armies, and at this time the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle.

After getting this news, Xue Yue couldn't wait to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

He laughed angrily, and then his blood surged, and he roared fiercely at the reconnaissance battalion commander who came to report: "Lose the old mother!" Why don't these damn warlords die!

The red bandits have run out, and they are fighting themselves! Well played, well fought, it's better to kill them all! What about the Chief of Staff? Hurry up and reorganize your forces to stop them! ”

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was angry, the chief of staff was also a little hairy, but he still had the courage to come over and say: "Commander-in-chief, in fact, bad things can sometimes turn into good things, and these warlord troops are innocent of death if they resist the orders of the central government."

Didn't the chairman of the committee have a secret order, ordering us to wait for an opportunity to defeat both the warlord forces and the red bandits. Although the red bandits have run away now, we can explain to the chairman of the committee if there are more deaths in these warlord troops. ”

Xue Yue suddenly calmed down when he heard this, and he figured it out himself, although the Red Army ran away, but the warlord troops died more and could explain to the chairman of the committee, and in any case, isn't Guiyang already in hand, how is it a credit.

Xue Yue, who had figured it out, immediately ordered the Central Army to stand still, and it was not until the officers of the Dian Army and the Sichuan Army reacted and sent the Supervisory Team to suppress it, which calmed down the battle between the two armies.

As a result, according to later statistics, in this infighting, the Yunnan army suffered 3,000 casualties, and the Sichuan army suffered 2,000 casualties.

However, Sun Du of the Yunnan Army and Pan Wenhua of the Sichuan Army hated each other to death, if it weren't for the Central Army's town, they were afraid that Xue Yue would benefit, and the two might send troops to fight again.

Later, Xue Yue sent a report to Chang Kaishen, saying that after a fierce battle, Guiyang was successfully recovered. A total of 5,000 Red bandits were killed and wounded, and the remnants of the Red bandits have now fled northward, and although our army suffered heavy casualties, it still kept in mind the teachings of the commission and pursued the Red Army relentlessly.

Chang Kaishen, who was in Kunming, received Xue Yue's telegram that night, and was naturally overjoyed.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the mouthpiece newspapers of the Kuomintang to be published overnight, trumpeting the news of the Kuomintang army's recovery of Guiyang, adding an additional zero to the casualties of the Red Army reported by Xue Yue, saying that under the wise command of the chairman, General Xue Yue bravely suppressed the bandits, and the three armed forces killed each other to annihilate 50,000 Red Army troops.

The next day, the newspapers were full of hype about this great victory of the Central Army, praising Chairman Chang Kaishen's wise command and General Xue Yue's courage to win the three armies.

However, in addition to being happy, Chang Kaishen felt that something was wrong.

In fact, he also knew that the bird nature of his generals and his exploits were ten times false, Xue Yue said that if you suppress 5000 bandits, you can't really think that you really want to suppress 5000 bandits, but divide it by ten times, and the result is equal to 500. (Chang Kaishen didn't know that Xue Yue dared to make something out of nothing, in fact, he didn't see a Red Army)

Thinking of the number of 500 bandits, Chang Kaishen was so angry that he had a toothache.

Didn't the Red Bandits say that they were going to establish a Soviet government in Guiyang City? Didn't you say that you should defend the fruits of victory to the death? Why did you abandon Guiyang, the capital of the government, with only 500 casualties?

Suddenly, Chang Kaishen's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought: "Could it be that the red bandits have already run away!" Suffered, there is also the Red Bandits' Young Communist International Column, that unit is the trump card of the Red Bandits, where are they now? ”

Thinking of Shao Zong, who had repeatedly caused huge casualties to the Kuomintang army, Chang Kaishen immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Chang Kaishen was never willing to release the Red Army.

He walked into the war room, paced back and forth in front of the battle map, stared at Sichuan Province in the southwest, and constantly examined, when he saw the words of the Yangtze River ferry, he suddenly realized: "Luzhou! The International Column of the Young Communist Party must be in Luzhou. Niang Xipi, I'm on Lao Mao's big dang again! (To be continued.) )
