In the headquarters of the 5th Red Army Corps in Yunshui County, Xiang Ying held the telegram sent by the Central Committee in his hand, and said with an expectant expression on his face: "Commander Ouyang Corps, the Central Committee fully affirms your military command ability, and hopes that you will make persistent efforts to cooperate with the central base area to smash the enemy's third large-scale encirclement and suppression, and achieve a more brilliant victory." Xiang Ying's tone was very pertinent, to be exact, he had been dormant by Ouyang Jian's outstanding military talent. Due to Lao Jiang's dispatch of troops and generals, the third large-scale encirclement and suppression was soon launched, and Xiang Ying, secretary of the Military Commission, could not go to the central base area, so he had to stay in Yunshui County to command remotely.

When it comes to military command, Xiang Ying is nothing more than conveying the battle plan to the Central Committee, because under the correct command of Zhu Mao, the main Red Army, including the 5th Army Corps, has achieved brilliant results, facts speak louder than words, and there is no doubt about whether it is correct or not. Ouyang Jian said: "Secretary Xiang, the brilliant victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression is completely the result of Zhu Mao's correct command, and I hope that you and the Central Committee will try not to interfere with the military command of the Front Army Headquarters." In the face of the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression, any interference will have a negative impact and even bury the good situation, and we must learn the painful lessons of the past few years. โ€

Xiang Ying nodded and said, "Captain Ouyang, don't worry, I know what I should do!" Xiang Ying was born in 1898 and was 33 years old. Before coming to the Jiangxi base, he served as the secretary of the Jiangsu Working Committee. Xiang Ying has a square face and a simple face, but her eyes are very deep. Ouyang Jian said earnestly: "Secretary Xiang, you are a selfless person at heart, and you are also a sincere person, you can listen to our opinions with an open mind, and I sincerely thank you on behalf of all the Red Army officers and soldiers!" โ€

Ouyang Jian solemnly raised his hand to salute, Xiang Ying was a little moved: "Commander Ouyang, please rest assured that I will always support you." Ouyang Jian wanted this sentence, there is no doubt that in just two months, the changes that have occurred in Xiang Ying's heart are immeasurable in terms of their own significance, and he can judge right and wrong according to Ouyang Jian's thinking. Political Commissar Chen Yi said excitedly: "Commander Ouyang often says that unity is strength, thank you Secretary Xiang." Ouyang Jian also stepped forward to hold Xiang Ying's hand and said: "Secretary Xiang, I will not live up to your expectations, in order to cooperate with the main force of the Red Army to fight, this time I will take the initiative to attack and hit the enemy with heavy fists, we already have the strength of a battle." โ€

"Report, call from the headquarters of the front army!" An operational staff officer reports. Xiang Ying first took the telegram and glanced at it, and then handed it to Ouyang Jian. Ouyang Jian said after reading it: "The battle plan of the front army headquarters is very shocking, Secretary Xiang, political commissar, we will immediately hold an operational meeting and study the combat plan, and then report to the front army headquarters!" Soon, the commanders, political commissars, regimental commanders, and regimental political commissars of the six main divisions gathered at the corps headquarters. Li Guangda, president of the Red Army Military Academy, Shangguan Fei, head of the logistics regiment, and Mao Zetan, head of the Zhouqiao Regiment and secretary of the Jiujiang Prefecture Work Committee, attended the military meeting as observers.

After the personnel arrived, Ouyang Jian's eyes were aimed at Xiang Ying. Xiang Ying understood what he meant and said, "Commander Ouyang, I have nothing to say. "Please ask Chief of Staff Luo to introduce the enemy's situation!" Luo Ronghuan stood up and walked to the military map ยทยทยทยทยทยท. Ouyang Jian looked around at the crowd: "Comrades, Staff Officer Luo's introduction is very detailed, so I won't repeat it." The enemy may seem menacing, but there is no need to be afraid. After the first and second victories against encirclement and suppression, we not only accumulated rich combat experience, but also found a way to deal with the enemy's army. At the same time, we are growing stronger in the midst of war. โ€

"Although the enemy army has increased by two-fifths of its strength, requisitioned elite troops, and has the potential to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai, there is nothing to fear. So far, the total strength of the 1st and 3rd Corps of the main Red Army has reached 60,000, while the total strength of our 5th Corps and 6 field divisions is 42,000. After the complete annihilation of the enemy's 1st Cavalry Division, after screening and integration, we temporarily organized a cavalry regiment with a strength of 1,500 people, a logistics regiment including an engineer battalion of 3,000 troops, a Zhouqiao regiment of 1,500 troops, and a current Red Army military academy recruit brigade of 2,500 people, that is to say, the total strength of our 5 regiments has reached more than 50,000 people. This does not include other affiliates. โ€

"Comrades, now that we have the ability to launch large-scale regular operations with the enemy, in a word, we can effectively combine guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and regular warfare; in guerrilla warfare, we will maneuver with the enemy, and in mobile warfare, we will drag down the enemy's troops, capture fighters, and concentrate superior forces to destroy the enemy's troops. In a regular war, we will pull out our camps and seize the villages, bravely attack and eat the enemy, in short, whatever is beneficial to us, once the time is ripe, we will attack decisively, and we will never stick to the rules. โ€

All the generals had excited expressions on their faces, and everyone was gearing up to fight with enthusiasm. Ouyang Jian continued: "The headquarters of the front army has formulated a new battle plan, the first and third corps will be divided into troops, and the first corps will stay on the Minjiang border under the leadership of the commander of the Lin corps, and develop in depth to Fujian, with the purpose of mobilizing the enemy army and disrupting the overall deployment of the enemy army. The Third Corps, under the leadership of Commander Peng, detoured back to the southern Gannan area, continued to mobilize enemy troops and looked for fighters during the movement, and the headquarters of the Front Army followed the actions of the Third Corps. โ€

"The headquarters of the front army asked us to adopt the strategy of threatening Nanchang in order to cooperate with the main force of the Red Army in the operation, with the aim of disrupting the command center of the enemy army and completely disrupting the strategic deployment of the enemy army. The headquarters of the front army asked us to draw up a specific battle plan on our own. Comrades, the situation is very good, but we cannot underestimate the enemy, Chief of Staff Luo has already explained the enemy situation in detail, and Lao Chiang looks up to us and actually uses nine divisions to besiege us. If we successfully crush the enemy's third major encirclement and suppression, the situation will be reversed, and we will switch from strategic defense to a limited counteroffensive. Next, I would like to ask Deputy Commander Su to explain our battle plan in detail! โ€

Su Yu stood up with a solemn expression and said, "This time, the enemy army encircled and suppressed on a large scale, and requisitioned elite troops to participate in the battle. Jiang Zhongzheng personally went out to command the battle, and the situation was different from the past. That is to say, the enemy's combat coordination ability and unified action will be closer, the enemy's action will be faster, and the difficulties we will face will be greater. โ€

Su Yu continued: "According to the overall operational plan of the Front Army Headquarters, our unit is required to threaten Nanchang and interfere with the enemy's center to make its command inefficient in order to achieve its operational objectives. In a word, only by hurting the enemy can it play a role in threatening Nanchang. For this reason, after careful study, the corps headquarters decided to target Fengyun County and adopt the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, so as to hit the enemy's vital points in the enemy's cracks, and then disrupt the enemy's entire military deployment, so as to create the necessary conditions for the victory of the third anti-encirclement and suppression operation. โ€

"It is a dangerous move to encircle Fengyun County and implement the siege and reinforcement plan, but it is also a wonderful move that the enemy army cannot imagine. At present, the 24th Division of the Eastern Enemy Xu Kexiang is stationed in De'an County, and the first division is stationed in Xingzi County. The Yangjian Division of the 27th Division of the enemy was stationed in Yongxiu County, the 55th Division of the enemy Li Songhua was stationed in Fengyun County, and the 57th Division of the enemy in the southwest was stationed in Jing'an County. The Wei Lihuang Division of the 10th Division of the enemy in the south and the Li Yannian Division of the Siege Brigade of the 12th Division of the enemy were stationed in Anyi County. According to our analysis, if we encircle Fengyun County, the closest point is the enemy's 27th Division in the northeast and the 10th Division and 12th Siege Brigade in the south. โ€

Su Yu continued: "Once Fengyun County is surrounded, the enemy army will send reinforcements from the north and south directions to relieve the siege without any doubt. Our target for this siege and reinforcement is Yang Jian's 27th Division, and in view of Lao Jiang's command in Nanchang, Yang Jian's troops and nobles quickly rushed to the rescue. Yang Jian is our old opponent, and he will be mentally timid without a fight, so we are very sure that we will eat him. At present, the most elite units of the enemy army are the Wei Lihuang Division of the 10th Division of the enemy reserve in Anyi County, and the Li Yannian Division of the 12th Independent Siege Brigade. โ€

Su Yu paused for a moment and continued: "The 10th Division Wei Lihuang Division, the 12th Independent Siege Brigade Li Yannian Division, well-armed and powerful, is the standard descendant of the Central Army, the 10th Division has a strength of 15,000 people, and the 12th Independent Siege Brigade has a strength of 5,000 people, so whether the siege and reinforcements can achieve the goal, the southern front blocking operation is the top priority. According to our analysis, Lao Chiang Hui thought that the opportunity had come, and he would definitely carry out a flanking attack from the north and south to try to destroy us, which created conditions for us to eat the enemy's 27th Division. โ€

"Our deployment is that the logistics regiment includes an engineer battalion and is responsible for the defense of Yunshui County, a main division is responsible for blocking the southern front, and the Red Army School Recruit Brigade, including two regiments of the main division, plus county brigades and guerrillas disguised as large forces to surround Fengyun County. In addition, a regiment was assigned to undertake the defensive operations of Xiushui County. One division blocked reinforcements from the enemy's 24th Division in the north. The three main divisions maneuvered between Yongxiu County and Fengyun County to outflank the enemy's 27th Division at any time, and the cavalry regiment, as the general reserve of the corps headquarters, supported the operation at any time. The above operational plans were submitted to the Front Army Headquarters for approval. โ€

Ouyang Jian stood up and said, "Do you understand the battle plan?" "Got it!" "I command!" All stand up! "Zhang Shiying!" "Here!" "You led the Red 17th Division to block the enemy heading north at the Phoenix Ridge between Fengyun County and Anyi County, and the enemy was not allowed to cross the Phoenix Ridge for half a step, you must nail it to the Phoenix Ridge like a nail!" "It's a resolute mission!" "Li Guangda!" "Here!" "You led the recruit brigade, two regiments of the Red 19th Division, an artillery brigade, county brigades, guerrillas, and militia, with a total strength of about 13,000 people, disguised as a large army to surround Fengyun County. In order to confuse the enemy, Zhao Liang's department and the recruit brigade were responsible for feints, and the attacks should be sharp and realistic. In addition, the county brigades had to set up false artillery positions. "It's about resolutely completing the task."

"Song Renqiao!" "Here!" "You led the Red 15th Division to intervene between Yongxiu County and De'an County to block the enemy's 24th Division!" "It's a resolute mission!" "Zhao Liang!" "Here!" "Your Red 19th Division will send one regiment to defend Xiushui County, and two regiments will participate in the siege operation to ensure that the large army will successfully encircle and annihilate the reinforced enemy!" "It's a resolute mission!" "Xiao Ke, Han Chu, Chen Ming, Chen Zhi (head of the Zhouqiao Regiment)!" "Here!" "The 9th, 11th, and 13th Divisions of the Red Army, and the Zhouqiao Regiment were pulled to the area of Mijia Village between Fengyun County and Yongxiu County to stand by, and carry out encirclement operations against the reinforced enemy at any time." "It's a resolute mission!"

"Gao Hanchen!" "Here!" (The commander of the newly formed cavalry regiment, a fierce Northwest man.) He was a battalion commander of the captured 1st Cavalry Division. After joining the Red Army, he was appointed commander of the Red Army Cavalry Regiment. "Your unit is active in the western part of Fengyun County, and as a reserve of the corps headquarters, it will support the operation at any time!" "Yes! The subordinates resolutely completed the task. Ouyang Jian finally said: "The headquarters of the corps headquarters is located in Yunshui County, and today is July 9th, and the various departments will start to act after dusk. โ€

After Ouyang Jian was deployed, political commissar Chen Yi stood up and made a pre-war mobilization, and expounded the gains and losses and far-reaching significance of this battle.
