Luo Chong won a great victory in the ambush, and Zhang Cheng and the political commissar reported the good news of the victory overnight to the commanders who were still fighting against Zhang Guitao at the mouth of the two rivers and the heads of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.

The commander-in-chief and the leaders of the Central Committee, who were anxiously waiting for the news of the battle, were overjoyed when they received the telegram.

Comrade Zhang Luofu even took the telegram and said excitedly: "Old Mao, it turned out that we decided that the plan for the Songpan Campaign would be fought by the 1st and 4th Front Armies, but Zhang Guotao did everything possible to obstruct it, and he was afraid of this and that.

Now Zhang Cheng has defeated Songpan with a single column, and has also eliminated Hu Zongnan's two main brigades. Hmph, I'll see what else he has to say now! “

After the commander-in-chief was overjoyed, he quickly regained his composure, and he reminded: "O Luo Fu! Let's talk about it later, now is the most critical time for the meeting of our two armies, and the contradictions can only be eased, not intensified. In my opinion, the most urgent task now is to commend the heroic international columns of the Young Communist Party and vigorously publicize their great victories. ”

Zhang Luofu thought for a while and said, "It's still Lao Mao, you think about it thoroughly." In my opinion, in the name of the party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Central Revolution, the whole party and the whole army will give a circular to the young commanders and the whole army, and the circular should be distributed to all units at and above the company level in the first and fourth front armies, especially on the side of the four front armies, and it is necessary to vigorously publicize the young columns of our heroes.

Secondly, we will hold a celebration meeting of Songpan's victory at the headquarters to create a great momentum for our army and expand the influence of the central government. Then, a series of detailed reports were carried out in the "Red Star Daily" to dig deep into the heroic deeds of the Young Column, review the great victories of the Young Column since it became an army, and highlight the strong combat effectiveness of the Young Column and the brilliant achievements it had achieved in the past. What do you say? ”

The commander and all the leaders nodded in agreement with Zhang Luofu's opinion.

Over the past few days, Zhang Guitao has been secretly instigating some cadres who are close to him and some cadres who do not know the truth to put pressure on the central authorities, blackmailing the central authorities to go south, and saying that he will investigate the responsibility of the central authorities for abandoning the Soviet region of Jiangxi Province, which will have a very adverse impact on the central authorities.

At this time, Zhang Guitao received a notice from the central government commending the Songpan Battle and the "Red Star Daily" on Shaozong's wonderful series of reports.

Zhang Guitao's mood was extremely complicated, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, he never expected that only two years later, the Central Red Army in addition to the two fierce generals Lin Husan and Peng Dehuai, and Zhang Cheng such an eye-catching general star.

He asked his henchman Huang Chao beside him: "Chief of Staff Huang, you say, isn't it an exaggeration to say that this newspaper is the result of the war?" The International Column of the Young Communist Party is really so powerful, so on the one hand, their army was still driven by the Central Army of the Kuomintang like a lost dog? ”

Huang Chao looked at Zhang Guitao, who was in a very bad mood after receiving the victory of Songpan, and replied cautiously: "Chairman Zhang, I think it is impossible for the army to falsify these battle results, and if they are fake, it will be too easy to puncture, and we only need to send someone to Songpan to observe it to verify the authenticity."

As for the International Column of the Young Communist Party, to be honest, it is the most powerful army that Huang has seen in the more than ten years since he joined the army. I have carefully studied their achievements, before the First Army entered Zunyi, the Young Column, oh, when it was still the International Division of the Young Communist Party, they served as the general guard of the First Army, and with the strength of the First Division, they actually blocked the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kuomintang with the strength of one division, such a record is simply a miracle.

After the Zunyi Conference, they were upgraded to the corps-level International Column of the Young Communist Party, and they also took on the important task of opening the way for the First Army, whether it was the four crossings of Chishui or the capture of the Yangtze River crossing, they played an extremely important role, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the first-class main force of the First Army. Moreover, the strength of this column exceeded 30,000 people, and the weapons were all captured by the Central Army of the Kuomintang, and the equipment was not inferior to that of Hu Zongnan, which was known as the first division of the Kuomintang in the world. ”

"What? There were more than 30,000 of them in one column! Zhang Guitao was really shocked this time, such a powerful army is not even his four-front army, and the strong military strength of Shaozong undoubtedly makes Zhang Guitao, who has always been only about strength, feel terrified.

Huang Chao then explained: "They have three divisions in one column, and nearly 10,000 people in one division, and the troops directly under their column are very strong, and they also have an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment. It was only the 1st Division of the Department that participated in the review with our 4 Front Army that day.

The department is very well armed, each division has an artillery battalion, all equipped with hundreds of artillery pieces, heavy machine guns are popularized to companies, and light machine guns are popularized to squads. Moreover, their training methods are very advanced, and the combat effectiveness of one division can only be compared with that of at least three divisions of the Kuomintang. So far, since they formed the army, they have eliminated more than 100,000 enemies of the KMT, and a large number of outstanding generals of the KMT, such as Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, Zhou Hunyuan, and Liu Jianxu, have all been defeated by their subordinates. ”

"Oops! If what you say is true, then the results of Songpan's victory should be true. It seems that I have to reassess the strength of the First Army! Zhang Guitao said with great emotion, Shaozong's strong strength caused him strong pressure, and he had to redeploy the plan and think about how to deal with this strong army in the future.

After Zhang Cheng ordered the troops to simply clean up the battlefield, he did not stop the pace of the battle, and he was determined to lead the whole army to make persistent efforts to annihilate Hu Zongnan's first division in the world and completely open up the passage to the north of northern Shaanxi.

Zhang Cheng knew that the commander of the Lianghekou in the rear and Zhang Guitao were fiercely arguing about the strategic route of going south or north, and if he returned to rest and recuperate, he would certainly be able to increase the influence of the commander in chief and shock Zhang Guitao and his henchmen, who lived in ill intentions.

As long as Hu Zongnan blocked the checkpoint of Lazikou, the Red Army would have to follow the old path of its previous life, and could only go north to northern Shaanxi through the Songpan Prairie, so that I don't know how many outstanding Red Army soldiers would have to be sacrificed.

Zhang Cheng immediately asked the central government for instructions to continue to launch the battle to annihilate the southern part of Hu Zong, and the commander and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission immediately called back, and the young column who supported the hero continued to attack the first division in the world and completely opened the northward passage.

After receiving the order, Zhang Cheng had no time to analyze the combat situation, so he made an arbitrary decision and immediately made combat arrangements: The 1st Division and 1st Brigade put on the uniforms of the 1st Division of the enemy, disguised themselves as enemy troops, and released empty guns and artillery with the 6th Brigade to create the false impression that the enemy was still fighting fiercely with our army.

Ordered the captured enemy brigade commander Li Wen to send a telegram to Hu Zongnan, fabricating a false battle situation and begging Hu Zongnan to come for reinforcements as soon as possible. The 2nd Division was still ambushed in Woluochong, the ambush location of the 3rd Division remained unchanged, and all the troops were concealed and on standby, waiting for the commander of the 1st Division in the world.
