Chapter 110 Four Crossing of Chishui Five

At eight o'clock in the morning of February 26, Zhang Cheng led the main force of the Young Column to Gaoping, and then the Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the International Column of the Young Communist Party to quickly move south to intercept the 59th and 93rd Divisions of the Wu Qiwei Column of the Central Army of the People's Party, while the 1st and 3rd Red Army Corps continued to attack Zunyi in the south.

The 1st and 3rd Red Army Corps took advantage of the victory to pursue the Guizhou army in the direction of Zunyi.

On the 26th, the Red Third Army defeated the blockage of the 6th, 15th, and 9th regiments of the Guizhou Army at Donggong Temple, Gaoping, and Daqiao.

Then, on the 26th, in Shizipu and other places northwest of Zunyi City, the enemy's first, fifth, and eighth regiments were routed, and the troops approached Zunyi City.

The remnants of the Guizhou army retreated into Zunyi City, holding on and waiting for reinforcements.

In the evening of that day, the 1st and 3rd Red Army Corps fought hard to launch a siege battle despite fatigue, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, occupied Zunyi New Town, and the enemy army hurriedly abandoned the city and fled south.

In the early morning of the 29th, after four hours of fierce fighting, the Red Third Army reoccupied Zunyi City and controlled the highlands of Honghuagang and Lao Yashan in the south of the city.

In order to recapture Zunyi, the enemy frantically counterattacked and ordered troops from all walks of life to rush to Zunyi for reinforcements.

After receiving the order to block the attack, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered the 1st Division to take up the task of frontal blockade, while the 2nd and 5th Brigades of the 2nd Division made a detour from both sides of the enemy in two ways to cut off the enemy's retreat, so as to completely annihilate the enemy and prevent a single person from slipping through the net.

At this time, two divisions of Wu Qiwei's division of the Central Army, which were advancing rapidly, had already arrived near Zunyi, of which the 93rd Division had already entered Zhongzhuangpu, which was about four kilometers away from Zunyi City, and the first division had advanced to Luojiang Bridge, which was 2.5 kilometers south of Zunyi City; and the 59th Division had advanced to Xinzhan and was advancing towards Zhongzhuang in an attempt to launch a counterattack on Zunyi.

The deployment of Wu Qiwei's army was: to attack with one regiment of the 553rd and 558th regiments of the 59th Division and the 93rd Division, and attack Honghuagang and Laoyashan in the south of Zunyi City through Taoxi Temple; Two regiments of the Guizhou Army attacked north from Zhongzhuangpu to cooperate with the 59th Division; The main force of the 93rd Division and the 555th Regiment of the 59th Division were in reserve in the Zhongzaipu area.

According to the enemy's report and the situation of both the enemy and us, Zhang Cheng quickly made a-for-tat deployment: the 1st Division and 1st Brigade took over the 3rd Red Army Corps, which suffered heavy casualties, and held Honghuagang and Laoyashan.

Then he ordered the three regiments of the 6th Brigade of the 1st Division to make a posture of blocking the Central Army in the direction of Rotten Bench and Yaxi, and after encountering the enemy on the way, they feigned defeat and lured the enemy into the ambush area.

The Sixth Brigade has feinted several times, practice makes perfect, who is the Sixth Brigade in the task of feint defeat and lure the enemy?

However, Zhang Cheng still told the Sixth Brigade not to go too far, to grasp the proportions, try to defeat moderately and naturally, and try not to let the enemy see through it.

The 3rd Division lay in ambush in the woods on the slopes on both sides of the road from Tongzi to Zunyi, painted their uniforms green to camouflage, and waited for an opportunity to stand by, and Zhang Cheng asked them not to be discovered by enemy reconnaissance planes.

In order to prevent the two main positions of Honghuagang and Laoyashan from being bombed by enemy planes, Zhang Cheng also transferred the air defense battalion of the column to prepare for a head-on attack on the enemy planes that cooperated with the enemy's attack.

Fang Zizai had also fought several times, and he quickly became proficient, and after the air defense unit made some clever camouflage, it was difficult for even the soldiers of his own unit to find their traces.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 29th, the decoy troops of the 6th Brigade took the lead in setting out, and sure enough, they soon collided head-on with the 59th Division of the enemy Han Hanying near the Guihua Bridge, and resisted for nearly an hour.

The enemy's "victory" in the first battle became even more arrogant, and he pursued the Sixth Brigade closely.

At about 11 o'clock, Wu Qiwei personally commanded the remnants of the 59th and 93rd Divisions of the Central Army and the Guizhou Army, and with the support of the air force and heavy artillery fire, launched a general attack on Honghuagang and Laoyashan, where the first and third regiments were stationed.

Zhangcheng's troops had long been surprised by the attack of the Kuomintang Central Army, and the two regiments, with the assistance of the engineer regiment directly under the Shao Zong, built strong fortifications in just one day.

Due to the rush of time, the engineer regiment did not dig the tunnels well, and more than a dozen enemy planes of the enemy army continued to dive and drop bombs and strafe, which still caused relatively big trouble to the Red Army.

The enemy planes, believing that the Red Army had no anti-aircraft weapons, dived very low, as if to show off their flying skills in front of the Red Army.

However, the fighters of the air defense battalion, who had long been addicted to fighting planes, suddenly removed their camouflage, and more than 200 machine guns opened fire at the same time, firing a terrifying line of fire.

More than 200 lines of fire were intertwined, forming a tight network of firepower in an instant.

Six enemy planes crashed headlong into the fire net like flies, and immediately planted on the cliff not far away with billowing wolf smoke, igniting a series of skyrocketing fires.

Seeing this, the rest of the enemy planes were immediately frightened and hurriedly climbed into the air, only throwing away all the aerial bombs indiscriminately and then panicking.

When the soldiers guarding the position saw the enemy plane fleeing away, they immediately cheered loudly, and without the annoying "buzzing" sound in the air, the soldiers suddenly felt refreshed and their morale was even higher.

The Central Army under the mountain still did not make any progress at all, as in the past, and climbed up in groups like herding sheep, thinking that it would be safer to concentrate together, but they did not know that it would be easier to become the target of our army, as long as they swept it with a machine gun, a large number of people would die at once.

When the enemy entered the range of fire within 100 meters of our army, Li Yunqiang and the commander of the third regiment ordered at the same time, and hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the two positions instantly spat out countless tongues of fire.

At the same time, more than 2,000 grenades flew like hail to the enemy's head, and the enemy at the bottom of the hill fell one by one like waves at low tide, and after only five minutes, thousands of enemy corpses lay on the mountainside, and those who were still alive quickly retreated down the hillside.

Twenty minutes later, under the strict orders of the commander, the enemy organized a second wave attack, and the 1st Brigade immediately shelled the enemy's follow-up troops with mountain artillery, and under the heavy artillery fire, the strength of one of the enemy's regiments was instantly reimbursed.

Han Hanying, the commander of the 59th Division under the mountain, suddenly became angry and ordered the artillery to retaliate frantically and bombarded the hill desperately.

After nearly twenty minutes of shelling, the enemy, who thought they had razed our positions to the ground, rushed up again, but they were still greeted by a combination of machine guns and grenades.

At about half past eleven, Zhang Cheng finally received the news that Ding Wei's second division had returned to its predetermined position and was about to attack, and immediately gave the order for the column to launch an all-out attack.

Suddenly, a total of 300 artillery pieces of the artillery regiment directly under the column and the artillery battalions of the three divisions suddenly removed their camouflage, exposed their cold fangs, and opened fire on the enemy troops who were attacking intensively.

The sudden power of our artillery suddenly made Han Hanying, commander of the 59th Division, and Tang Yunshan, commander of the 93rd Division, sober up, and knew that our army had lured the enemy into depth, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, but it was too late.

The 1st Division of the 1st Division jumped down from its position on the mountain, the 2nd Division attacked the enemy's ribs from both flanks, and the 3rd Division attacked from behind; nearly 30,000 officers and men immediately pounced on the enemy from three sides with a overwhelming force.

As a result, the retreat of the Central Army, which had lost its command, from the Great Retreat became a great rout.

The enemy's retreat has been blocked by the 2nd and 3rd divisions, and our troops are surrounded from all sides, and the enemy has no way to escape.

"Shoot or kill!" The Red Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners! The slogans resounded in the sky, and the enemy army had lost its effective organization and was simply fleeing blindly all the way.

On the other hand, our army was capturing prisoners all over the mountains, and sometimes one person dared to pursue a dozen enemies, and he even succeeded in capturing more than a dozen enemy prisoners.

After only four hours of fierce fighting, two divisions of the Central Army were completely annihilated by our army.

The commanders of the enemy army, Wu Qiwei, Han Hanying, and Tang Yunshan, abandoned their troops early and fled desperately with only their own guards, but fled in a few military vehicles that stopped at the bottom of the mountain.

As soon as Wu Qiwei escaped from Wujiang, he immediately got on the actor's body, sat on the ground and cried: "Oops! I'm not leaving, I'm just dying here. How can I explain to the chairman of the committee and his old man when I go back! ”

Although the guards knew that he was acting for the chairman of the committee, they still pretended to persuade him to flee quickly, saying that "stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood".

Wu Qiwei took advantage of the situation to listen to everyone's advice, quickly got up and continued to flee towards Guiyang, the southwest base camp of the Central Army.
