Obviously, the Kuomintang authorities have spent a lot of money on his base this time. The main force alone dispatched 12 corps, 5 separate divisions, and 10 local security regiments. The total strength is 190,000 and more than 6,000.

Among them, the northern front includes 3 armies and 5 security regiments of the Hunan enemy: the 21st Army, which has jurisdiction over 3 divisions; 25th Army, with 2 divisions; 16th Army, with 3 divisions; There are also 5 local security regiments. The enemy has 3 armies: the 17th Army, which has 3 divisions; The 19th Army has jurisdiction over 2 divisions and 1 brigade directly under its jurisdiction; The 20th Army has 2 divisions and 1 brigade directly under its jurisdiction. 1 army, 3 independent divisions, and 5 security regiments of the Jiangxi enemy: 33rd Army, under the jurisdiction of 3 divisions; 5th Independent Division, 6th Independent Division, 8th Independent Division; 5 local security regiments. The southern front included 3 armies reorganized from the Xianghan Ping Division of the Guangdong enemy: the 56th Army, which had jurisdiction over 3 divisions; 57th Army, with 3 divisions; The 59th Army has 2 divisions and 1 brigade directly under its jurisdiction. 1 army and 1 independent division of the Jiangxi enemy: 32 armies, 3 divisions; 2nd separate division. 1 army and 1 independent division of the enemy: 45th Army, with 3 divisions; Separate 9th Division.

This made Li Jiansheng gasp! Because the size of the enemy and the strength of the enemy, it is not ordinarily strong! After thinking about it, he immediately convened a joint meeting of the commanders of the corps and divisions and the units directly under him, which was also attended by He Changming, chairman of the Soviet Government of the base areas. For two whole days, everyone did not discuss a single result. There are those who attack on the flanks in two parts, those who abandon their base areas and do not look elsewhere, those who go south to attack Shaoguan and attack the enemy, and those who go straight to the east to attack and join forces with the central Soviet area, and so on. In the end, Li Jiansheng insisted and decided to continue to use the method of repelling the enemy's encirclement and suppression for the first and second time, luring the enemy to go deeper, distract the enemy during the movement, and then concentrate superior forces to break the enemy individually! Political Commissar Huang Su supported Li Jiansheng after careful consideration. Deputy Corps Commander Yun Tian, Director of the Political Department Zhao Boping, and Chief of Staff Wang Hanying also fully supported Li Jiansheng; As for Yang Zhishen and Liu Fugui, they only listened to Li Jiansheng, and asked them to put forward their opinions before, so they put forward their own opinions, but once Li Jiansheng opened his mouth, he absolutely agreed and resolutely implemented them. In this way, with reference to the opinion of the minority to obey the majority, the meeting adopted this policy that the corps commander insisted on.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Li Jiansheng immediately issued a combat order: all the governments of the Soviet District in the base area should enter Mangshan; The Soviet governments at all levels immediately took root in the front line to do a good job in the minds of the masses, clear the walls, and prepare for the next big war; The troops immediately assembled in Yizhang and Lechang. The 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Red Divisions assembled in Yizhang to form the North Road Column; The 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th Red Divisions assembled in Lechang to form the South Road Column. The corps commander Li Jiansheng acted with the North Road Column, and the political commissar Huang Su moved with the South Road Column. The two sides acted in unison by telegram. Wage movement warfare as much as possible, looking for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the movement.

As soon as the meeting broke up, the parties acted immediately. A vigorous preparatory action was carried out in the revolutionary base areas along the Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Guangdong borders. Li Jiansheng discussed with Huang Su again, and roughly divided the various parts of the corps into two parts, including guards, reconnaissance, communications, staff officers, logistics, baggage, machine gun brigades, artillery brigades, and so on.

While commanding the troops to deal with the enemy, Li Jiansheng pondered the enemy's weaknesses. After carefully analyzing the enemy's strength, he found that the enemy should be the weakest enemy, because this time it could include several independent divisions.

Thinking of this, he discussed with Yun Tian and finally decided that Yun Tian and Liu Qiao would lead the Red 3rd Division and the Red 5th Division, disguise themselves as the main force of the Red Army, fight west from Yizhang, attract the enemy's attention, and then sneak into the mountains after arriving in Daoxian, and then sneak back to the east with a rapid march. As for the other troops, they all lurked and moved in the direction of Guidong. Yun Tian and Li Jiansheng discussed it carefully again, and immediately led their troops westward. Of course, it was the flags of several divisions of the Red Eighteenth Army Corps that were fought, but they deliberately made a situation that was half hidden and half visible, sometimes deliberately allowing the enemy to detect it, and sometimes hiding it tightly, so that the enemy could not touch the slightest wind. Occasionally, they will make contact with the enemy, but as soon as they engage fire, they will immediately retreat.

Sure enough, this immediately caught He Ting's attention. At the beginning, as soon as he saw the red bandit doing this, he recognized that this was the red bandit's trick to lure the enemy, just sneered, and secretly sighed that you red bandit has also used such a skill, I just don't move, I'm afraid that the main force of you red bandits will not act, I will only find the main force! But when their two security regiments encountered the red bandits in Guiyang Fangyuanwei, they were immediately suppressed by powerful firepower, and when the vanguard division of the main 21st Army arrived at the rescue more than 40 minutes later, the red bandits had already retreated, and the two security regiments were all gone. This time, He Ting was angry and happy. Angry, he didn't even touch the tail of the red bandit, but lost two regiments, although it was a local security regiment that was not strong in battle, but it was also a regiment! Happily, this time it seems that the red bandits have exposed their strength, and it seems that they are a little too careful, it turns out that those red bandits are not the soldiers who lure the enemy, but the real main force of the red bandits!

In this way, it was reassured that He Ting was indeed the main force of the red bandits, and immediately ordered all units to surround and intercept them. Sure enough, the combat power shown by this red bandit unit surprised everyone, and they were half-fighting and half-running on the road, and they also used some tactics to make He Ting's troops lose another main regiment. This finally strengthened He Ting's confidence, and led all the troops on the North Road to chase after him.

This is what Li Jiansheng is waiting for. As soon as this unit moved, the enemy's flaws came out. It seems that he has finally found an opportunity, so he immediately telegraphed Huang Su to lead a group from Lechang and sneak back to Guidong in the direction of Rucheng to join his troops. Five days later, Huang Suqin led the Red 2nd Division to stay in Guangdong Province to strand the enemy, and the rest of the brigade was brought back to southern Hunan by Peng Zhi, Wang Hanying and others to join Li Jiansheng's troops.

As Li Jiansheng expected, the eyes of the main force of the enemy army were attracted by the two divisions of Yuntian, and the army gathered in southwest Hunan, but Li Jiansheng led the main force to appear in southeast Hunan. However, Li Jiansheng just didn't make a move, just covered it, waiting for the enemy to reveal the biggest flaw. After more than ten days, Li Jiansheng learned by telegram that Yuntianbu had escaped into the mountains, and he was a little relieved, so he decided to launch an offensive. At this time, the independent division of the 33rd Army, which was moving with the 5th Army of the Jiangxi enemy, was marching from Guidong to the direction of Bamian Mountain, and was left alone. There was a distance of 10 miles from the 6th separate division in front of him. Li Jiansheng decisively ordered a dangerous move: the Red 1st Division and the Red 4th Division were inserted to separate the Du5th Division from the other main enemies, of which the Red 1st Division blocked the enemy, and the Red 4th Division fought the Du5th Division; The Red 6th, 7th, and 8th Red Divisions, as well as the troops directly under each corps, stormed the 5th Division at all costs.
