Chapter 10: Jiangjin Huishi (2)

It turned out that after crossing Chishui four times, although they jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, there were still several brigades of the Yunnan army on the Guizhou-Yunnan border, which was not conducive to the northward advance of the main force of the Red First Army. When making arrangements for the Red Army's combat operations, Mao Weiren pointed out: As long as the Dian army can be transferred out, it will be a victory. In order to achieve this strategic goal, the main force of the Red First Army adopted the tactic of attacking the west from the east, first using the Huang Su headquarters of the Red Eighth Army Corps to feint in the direction of Weng'an and Huangping in eastern Qiandong, in the guise that the main force of the Red First Army was about to go east out of Hunan to join the Red 2nd and 6th Army Corps, while the other main forces, including the three main forces of the Red 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Army, passed through Xifeng and Zhazuo and went straight to Guiyang. At this time, Chairman Chiang, who was frightened, had to rush from Nanjing to Guiyang to take up the town because of the forced situation. At that time, there were only 4 regiments defending the enemy in Guiyang and its suburbs, and Chiang Kai-shek felt that the garrison was empty, and he was afraid that the Red Army would take advantage of the weakness to capture Guiyang, and that the main force of the Red Army would enter Hunan to join forces with the Red 2nd and 6th Army Corps, so he urgently transferred Long Yun's main force and 3 brigades to reinforce Guiyang at the same time, so that Xue Yue's Corps and He Jian's Department of the Hunan Army were deployed and intercepted on the Sichuan-Guizhou-Hunan border. Under the condition that the main force of the Yunnan Army had been completely transferred to the east, Mao Weiren gave an order, and the Red 1st Army suddenly carried out a feint attack on Longli Town in the southeast of Guiyang on April 9, bluffing and confusing the enemy, but the main forces of the Red 3rd Army and the Red 5th Army broke through the enemy's defense line from Guiyang and Longli, and marched at a speed of 120 miles a day to Yunnan, where the enemy's troops were empty, and the Red 1st Army immediately followed. On the 15th, the main force of the Red Army crossed the Beipan River and successively conquered Zhenfeng, Longan, Xingren, Xingyi and other cities. Chairman Chiang was greatly shocked by the rapid westward advance of the Red Army, and urgently transferred two columns of Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan, three divisions of the Hunan Army, and the first part of the Yunnan Army to pursue the main force of the Red First Army along the Guizhou-Yunnan Highway. At the same time, the Red 9th Army Corps, which was originally north of the Liuwu River, had also advanced to the area near Shuicheng in western Qianxi after successfully completing the task of containment. In late April, when the main force of the Red Army threatened the city of Kunming, the enemy forces on all sides were still more than three days away from the Red Army. Mao Weiren occupied Yangcun with the Red 5th Army Corps, feinted to attack Kunming, and the main force advanced to the bank of the Jinsha River in the northwest. The Red 1st Regiment seized Longjiedu through Wuding and Yuanmou; The Red 3rd Army seized Hongmendu through Malutang; The Central Military Commission column advanced through Longtang to Lianpingdu, and the first cadre regiment of its advance team successfully smuggled in Pingdu on the evening of 3 May, completely annihilating the enemy defending the other bank and controlling the ferry.

Due to the wide surface of the Longjie River crossing, the harassment of enemy planes, and the turbulent flow of the Hongmen River crossing, which were not conducive to the Red Army's crossing of the river, the Central Military Commission decided that except for the 13th Regiment of the 3rd Army Corps of the Red Army to cross the river at Hongmen, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Army Corps crossed the Jinsha River from 3 to 9 May by Stranding with only seven small wooden boats. The Red 9th Army Corps on the North Road also crossed the Jinsha River near Qiaojia in the northwest of Huize on May 4 and 5. The Red 8th Army, which had originally feinted in the direction of Weng'an and Huangping in eastern Qiandong, had already made a successful feint at this time under the leadership of Huang Su, and then received a telegram from the central government to sneak to the Jinsha River to join the Red 9th Army.

At this point, the Central Red Army got rid of the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops, so that all the enemies who were chasing after them were thrown south of the Jinsha River, completely smashed Chiang Kai-shek's arrogant plan to encircle and annihilate the Central Red Army in the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan border area, realized the strategic intention of crossing the river to the north, and won a great victory of decisive significance in the strategic shift.

When he received the telegram jointly sent by Xu Xiangqian, Li Jiansheng, Luo Ronghuan, and Chen Changhao, Mao Weiren, President Zhu, and Vice Chairman Zhou were discussing which corps should make a feint in the direction of Weng'an and Huangping in Qiandong, and then deceive the gesture that the main force of the Red First Army was going east to Hunan to join the Red 2nd and 6th Army Corps. In fact, earlier, he had just received another telegram from the Red Fourth Front Army, which reported the sacrifice of Zhang Guotao, chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Committee. Although they had a lot of views on Zhang Guotao's "clean-up" and killing many outstanding cadres within the Red Fourth Front Army, in the spirit of unity, after reading the telegram, several great men still seriously discussed it, and then jointly signed a telegram of condolence to mourn Zhang Guotao, appease all departments of the Red Fourth Front Army, and at the same time authorize Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao to act. To be honest, although he knew that Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao, the two senior generals, were very good, Mao Weiren did not know the roots of the army that Zhang Guotao had been running for many years, and he really didn't have much confidence in his heart. But now, there is news that Li Jiansheng, who knows his roots, led his troops to join Xu Xiangqian's department, so why don't you like it? Therefore, this time Mao Weiren was of great significance, while commanding the main force of the Red Front Army to deal with the enemy, and at the same time discussing with Zhu, Zhou and several others the deployment of the Red Fourth Front Army and the Red Seventh Army after the division.

After Xu Xiangqian and Li Jiansheng and a few other teachers here, as soon as they met for a while, they hardly said much, and several people joined forces together and concentrated their command. Of course, there are still differences in the specific implementation: Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao commanded the headquarters of the former Red Fourth Front Army, and Li Jiansheng and Luo Ronghuan commanded the headquarters of the Red Seventh Army Corps and fought everywhere. It's a pity, these are all rare gods of war, such a collection, the combat power is not the same. You must know that the 80,000 horses of the Red Fourth Front Army are the elite soldiers in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and the equipment is also quite good; As for Li Jiansheng's department, there is nothing to say, not only is the total strength of one of his corps 20,000 higher than the total strength of the Red Fourth Front Army, but in terms of the quality of the soldiers, except for a new recruit division in Sichuan that needs to be strengthened and reorganized, the rest are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, not ordinarily strong! Because Li Jiansheng's ideological work when he led the troops came from later generations, the cohesion of this soldier was still hidden above the Red Fourth Front Army. As for weapons and equipment, they are more than one grade higher than those of the Red Fourth Front Army. In terms of artillery alone, Li Jiansheng's department was more than four times that of Xu Xiangqian's department. After the two armies met, Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao, Li Jiansheng, and Luo Ronghuan engaged in an activity, mainly to observe each other's soldiers and armaments. When Li Jiansheng, Luo Ronghuan, Zeng Zhongsheng, and Cai Zhong observed the Red Fourth Front Army, they admired the Red Fourth Front Army from the bottom of their hearts. Because the quality of the soldier and the weapons and equipment are even better than those of the Red Army, the admiration for Xu Xiangqian and others in my heart has increased a little. However, what surprised a few of them was that when Xu Xiangqian led a group of generals to observe the Red Seventh Army, they were all smacking: In our Red Army, there is still such strong equipment? As for the skill displayed by this warrior, it is truly jaw-dropping! Especially those special operations fighters and sniper fighters, Xu Xiangqian and others admired it from the bottom of their hearts! Several people know that this army was actually created by Li Jiansheng, and the main ideas of these Dongdong were also made by Li Jiansheng, and the admiration for Li Jiansheng in my heart is even better than before! Therefore, once the command system of the two armies was unified, the various armies under their command could blossom everywhere, and in just a few days, several counties and cities around Chongqing fell into the hands of the Red Army. Xu Xiangqian is okay, because he has been leading his troops to be active in this area; Li Jiansheng is a little different, he completely uses these battlefields as training places, and can be regarded as training those Sichuan recruits who have been recruited again.

On April 4, five days after reporting the military intelligence, Li Jiansheng, Xu Xiangqian and others received a call from the central government, and the signatures turned out to be Mao, Zhu, and Zhou! As soon as they read the message, Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao, Luo Ronghuan and others were fine, but Li Jiansheng was shocked! It turned out that the call clearly instructed Li Jiansheng to command the two main forces of the Red Army, the Red Seventh Army and the Red Fourth Front Army! I thought I was wrong, but after reading it three times, Li Jiansheng finally confirmed the black and white words in front of him:

First, continue to maintain the original Northwest Military and Political Commission, and unify the command of the Red First Army, the Red Seventh Army Corps, and the Red Fourth Front Army. Li Jiansheng served as the chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Committee, Luo Ronghuan served as the secretary of the party committee, Xu Xiang served as the commander-in-chief, Chen Changhao served as the chief political commissar, Zeng Zhongsheng served as the chief of staff, and Li Teh served as the director of the General Political Department!

2. Establish a Committee of Former Enemies in the Northwest to specifically command the two main forces of the Red Army to fight. Li Jiansheng, Xu Xiangqian, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Changhao, Zeng Zhongsheng, Li Te, and Cai Zhong were appointed committee members, Li Jiansheng was appointed secretary of the former enemy committee, Xu Xiang was appointed commander-in-chief, Luo Ronghuan was appointed chief political commissar, and Chen Changhao was appointed chief of general staff. Li Jiansheng is in charge of the overall responsibility.

Third, it is advisable for the two main forces of the Red Army to fight in Chongqing, to take the opportunity to annihilate a part of the enemy's forces, to provide strategic assistance for the operations of the 2nd and 6th Army Corps of the Red Army, and to provide support for the actions of the Red First Army.

There are a number of other entries in the message, but most of them provide guidance on strategic and tactical aspects. These are all familiar with the art of war, just listening. But Li Jiansheng has always been shocked in his heart: My God! How did I get in front of Xu Shuai in my ranking? What's wrong with the great men? He had been questioning in his heart, but he didn't know that the others had no doubt about it. First, this is an order from the central government. If Zhang Guotao was alive, there might be some objections to this, but at present, including Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao, they are loyal to the party and the central government, and of course they support this! In the two, his Li Jiansheng's achievements are there, and he has not been defeated since the battle; As for the troops, that strength is also there, and that is the first-class strength. Of the three, Xu Xiangqian and others are all open-minded people, and they cherish Li Jiansheng, and of course they fully support his work. In this way, Li Jiansheng was able to smoothly command the most elite military force in the entire country at that time!

Of course, from later generations, he knows the lives of Xu Xiangqian, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Changhao, and Zeng Zhongsheng and others well, and knows that these people are all handsome talents, so he respects them very much, and has no intention of monopolizing power. As for Han Xianchu, Li Jiansheng has always believed that he is the first hero who insisted on liberating Hainan Island, and laid a solid foundation for China to have no second Taiwan, so he also respects him very much; Xu Shiyou, in Li Jiansheng's mind, is a pure legend, of course, he is also very respectful; Some other founding fathers of later generations, Li Jiansheng also respected from the bottom of his heart. In this way, Li Jiansheng commanded two troops, which were like his own left and right arms, stretching freely!

In this way, the nearby Kuomintang troops have suffered!
