In front of him, Li Yutang led another supplementary regiment of the remaining 8th Brigade of the 3rd Division and was searching in the direction of the new factory. As a result, when I arrived near the new factory, I found that I was surrounded by the Red Army. Li Yutang led his troops to resist stubbornly, and at the same time sought salvation from the Lord. Zhou Hunyuan really couldn't afford to lose his troops again, so he immediately ordered the 2nd Division, which was searching and advancing in the direction of Boyang, to come to the rescue, and mobilized more than 20 fighters to help in the battle.

When the 2nd Division went to the aid of the 3rd Division, which was surrounded by red bandits, the 14th Brigade and the 15th Brigade of the 5th Division on this side became lone again, and as a result, they fell into the encirclement of the Red Army again. When the telegram for help was sent to Zhou Hunyuan, the leader of the Central Army, who had dealt with the Red Army for many years, was the first to believe it, but looking at the Red Army number reported by his own troops, Zhou Hunyuan was in a cold sweat, and he knew at the moment that he had fallen for the Red Bandits' plan to attack the west. It turned out that it was not other troops that surrounded the 5th Division, but the Red 16th and Red 19th Divisions. These two divisions are the two divisions that defeated Liu Jianxu of the Hunan Army before! In other words, the Red 17th Division and the Red 18th Division, which had been fighting with their own units, suddenly surrounded the 3rd Division like this now, the purpose was to let their 2nd Division rush to help, so as to make room for the 16th and 19th Divisions to annihilate their 5th Division! - Cunning red bandits, such vicious tricks!

Once he figured out this section, Zhou Hunyuan scolded secretly and was troubled: Why did this red bandit suddenly come to him? Didn't you fight well with the Hunan and Guizhou armies? After a while, he scolded: These Hunan troops and Gui troops, this combat effectiveness is really not good! I can't stand it! It doesn't matter if you can't watch it, you can also give us a breath! Thinking of this, he became more and more angry, and scolded again. Thinking about it again, now is not the time to scold, I don't want the 5th Division to be damaged, I have to rush to the rescue. The ground forces were no longer able to save it, so they had to send the air force.

It's just that when his air force arrived at Yatun Fort, they didn't find the shadow of the Red Army, only the corpses of the soldiers of the Central Army in one place. Hearing the news from the Air Force, Zhou Hunyuan only felt surprisingly cold. Led the only two remaining divisions to fight with the red bandits on the opposite side for another day and night, Zhou Hunyuan suddenly figured out something, was shocked, desperately organized a counterattack of soldiers and horses and then took the road and left, and finally broke away from the battle line with the two divisions of Red 17 and Red 18 on the opposite side, and was about to leave the new factory quickly, but he was caught by another wave of Red Army! The person who came was none other than the Red 16th Division and the Red 19th Division led by Li Jiansheng!

It turned out that, as Zhou Hunyuan guessed, Li Jiansheng's troops secretly marched to the periphery of Boyang overnight after Xiaoshui broke away from the Hunan and Guizhou armies, and the whole army rested on the spot. Li Jiansheng did not rest at all, and immediately discussed with Yun Tian, Ji Zhen and others through telegrams. Yun Tian and Ji Zhentong immediately led their troops to ambush the enemy's 3rd Division near the new factory. As soon as the enemy's 2nd Division went to the rescue, Li Jiansheng's two divisions, after being rested, immediately surrounded the remaining two brigades of the enemy's 5th Division on the morning of the same day, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of attention, and concentrated their superior firepower to attack fiercely. In just two hours, two divisions fought two brigades, and it ended in victory. After destroying these two brigades, Li Jiansheng did not stop, and led his troops to the new factory immediately. As early as when studying the battle plan, Li Jiansheng expressed his attitude with Yun Tian and Ji Zhen and the others, and asked the two of them to think together to entangle Zhou Hunyuan's troops, so that he could lead the 16th and 19th divisions back to the division to join forces and annihilate the enemy. As for the special service regiment and the guard regiment, they serve as a reserve to monitor the Xia Wei Department of the Gui Army.

Zhou Hunyuan is an old man after all, and he has lost a lot of money by eating Li Jiansheng, and he is also a little smarter. Therefore, after fighting with Yuntian and Ji Zhen for a night, he finally came to his senses. It's just that it was too late, after a night of rapid marching, Li Jiansheng's troops had already rushed over, but they didn't have time to rest, although they were extremely sleepy, but they finally blocked the enemy. In this way, the remaining incomplete 5 brigades of Zhou Hunyuan's two divisions were surrounded by 4 divisions of Li Jiansheng's department, with two divisions in the front and two divisions in the front and rear, blocking the advance and retreat of Zhou Hunyuan's division. At that time, Li Jiansheng had already reorganized 2,800 of the more than 3,000 people of the 62nd Taoguang Division captured by the Great Victory in Xianxi, and transferred one battalion from each of the 56th, 57th, and 58th regiments of the 19th Red Division, disrupted the shelves of four battalions, and established the 59th Regiment, adding more than 700 of the 2,800 prisoners to the 59th Regiment, and the other 2,100 people to the 55th, 56th, and 57th regiments respectively, so that the three regiments were restored to full strength. The 59th Regiment was integrated into the 19th Division as a whole, with Deng Chengming, former deputy commander of the 1st Red Army Corps, as the commander, Li Guoping, former deputy commander of the 3rd Red Army, as the political commissar of the regiment, and Gong Houming, former deputy chief of staff of the 1st Red Army, as the chief of staff. Because these two divisions are currently in the establishment of 4 regiments and 16 battalions. Therefore, at present, with 40,000 people fighting less than 20,000 people, and in a state of flanking attack, Zhou Hunyuan's department was defeated and retreated in just one morning. When the Xia Wei Department of the Gui Army arrived, only Zhou Hunyuan, Li Yutang, Zhao Xitian and others were gathered, and there were less than 4,000 soldiers below.

Li Jiansheng's subordinates took advantage of it, and they didn't want to fight, so they moved to rest and recuperate. Once Zhou Hunyuan, Li Jue, and Xia Wei were defeated, they did not dare to fight the Red Army any more, but the whole army retreated, rested at the station, and hurriedly reported the situation to the employees of the Chiang Kai-shek Committee. At that time, the battle of Xinchang ended, ending with the victory of Li Jiansheng's department. At this point, Li Jiansheng's troops first experienced a great victory in Dupo, and destroyed Zhang Liangji's 16th division in three battles; then won another great victory in Xianxi, destroying Tao Guang's 62nd Division in a battle; won a big victory in Xiaoshui again, and disabled Li Jue's 19th Division in the first battle; then rushed to Yatun Fort, won a great victory, and completely annihilated the remaining two brigades of the 5th Division of Zhou Hunyuan's 36th Army in a battle; In the end, he won another great victory in the new factory, and defeated the main force of Zhou Hunyuan's 36th Army in a war. A total of seven battles and seven victories. If you add the Red 17th Division and Red 18th Division under the command of Yuntian and Ji Zhentong, they first destroyed a brigade of the 3rd Division in the first battle of Boyang North, and then destroyed a brigade of the 5th Division in the first battle of Xinchang East, a total of nine battles and nine victories!

Later historians spoke highly of Li Jiansheng's nine battles and nine victories in the Xiangxi Passage. Because in only seven days, Li Jiansheng's division annihilated three entire divisions of the enemy in nine battles, including the 16th and 62nd divisions of the Hunan enemy, as well as the 5th division of the 36th Army of the Central Army, and completely disabled three divisions, including the 19th Division of the Hunan enemy, the 3rd Division and the 2nd Division of the 36th Army of the Central Army. Among them, the 3rd Division is basically no longer in formation. There were nearly 8,000 people in one division and two brigades, and in the end, only about 600 people in one battalion were removed! In this way, Li Jiansheng's department has fully completed the tasks assigned by the central authorities. Because of the annihilation of the main forces of these enemy forces, Mo said that he did not dare to pursue the Red Army in the next three days, that is, in the next half a month, before being replenished, these enemies were stunned that they did not catch up again, did not dare and did not have the strength! This provided ample time for the Red Army to pass through Guizhou.

As for Li Jiansheng's department, it has been fully supplemented because of continuous operations. The first is the two main combat divisions. Previously, the 58th and 59th regiments had been newly formed, which were merged into the Red 16th and Red 19th Divisions, respectively. After finally ending all the fighting, Li Jiansheng followed the precedents, and all the other about 8,700 prisoners and more than 1,300 lightly wounded were incorporated into his own unit. That is, the 49th, 50th, and 51st regiments under the jurisdiction of the Red 17th Division, each regiment drew one battalion, a total of three battalions, and disorganized into four battalions, and then selected 700 soldiers from the prisoners to form the 60th Regiment and merge them into the Red 17th Division. Another 2,100 recruits were selected to supplement the three regiments from which the above three troops had been transferred. An additional 960 soldiers were selected to fill the vacancies in the three regiments due to battle damage. In this way, the 17th Division became the third full-strength main division of four regiments under the command of Li Jiansheng. Similarly, the 52nd, 53rd, and 54th regiments under the jurisdiction of the Red 18th Division, each regiment drew one battalion, a total of three battalions, and disorganized into four battalions, and then selected 700 soldiers from among the prisoners to form the 61st Regiment and merge them into the Red 18th Division. Another 2,100 recruits were selected to supplement the three regiments from which the above three troops had been transferred. An additional 710 soldiers were selected to fill the vacancies in the establishment of the three regiments due to battle damage. In this way, the 18th Division became the fourth full-strength main division under the jurisdiction of Li Jiansheng's subordinate 4 regiments.

Also replenished were artillery regiments and cavalry battalions. Because of the continuous capture of a large number of artillery, Liu Fugui's artillery regiment was once again upgraded to an artillery brigade with two regiments, each of which had three artillery battalions. The first artillery regiment has jurisdiction over the original Forbes Hill artillery battalion and two of the original three mortar battalions; The 2nd Artillery Regiment had jurisdiction over the one of the three mortar battalions. Of course, at the moment, this battalion has become a full battalion because it is supplemented with 6 60 mortars captured from Li Jue's department. As for the 5 mortars captured from the 5th Division of Zhou Hunyuan's 60th Division, they were also organized into an artillery battalion and included in the 2nd Regiment. The 12 75 mortars captured from the 5th Division of Zhou Hunyuan's department, the 12 75 mortars captured from the 3rd Division of Zhou Hunyuan's department, and the 12 Type 75 medium mortar companies originally under Liu Fugui's headquarters were merged to form a brand-new 75 mortar battalion, which was also under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Regiment.

As for Liu Fugui's original 12 Type 48 light earthen guns, 6 60 mortars captured from Li Jue's department, and 12 60 mortars and 12 75 mortars captured from the 2nd Division of Zhou Hunyuan's department, they were all organized into an artillery battalion and an artillery company. The artillery battalion was incorporated into the Special Service Regiment. Two artillery batteries, consisting of 6 75 mortars and 6 60 mortars, were incorporated into the Guards Regiment. At this point, Li Jiansheng's subordinates all realized that they had artillery under their jurisdiction.

As for the cavalry company, because of this successive victory, more than 800 horses were captured. Zhou Hunyuan's Central Army was obviously richer than the Hunan Army, and he was more equipped with horses. This enabled Li Jiansheng's department to capture so many war horses. Of course, more than 200 of them were used for the baggage system, and the other more than 600 were handed over to Shao Qianjian. With the addition of more than 300 horses, Shao Qianqian's number of horses reached an astonishing 980. This news was known to Li Jiansheng, so Xu Zhengfang gave him 17 horses, and Shao Qianjin had enough 1,000 horses on hand to form a cavalry regiment. It has three cavalry battalions and one cavalry company directly under its command, and each battalion has three cavalry companies of 100 cavalry.

The soldiers are strong. Looking at the situation in front of him, Luo Ronghuan sighed, feeling that only such words could describe the current situation of the Red Seventh Legion. Two days after Boyang rested and monitored the enemy army, and one day before the 10-day mission issued by the central government, the central government called and asked the Red Seventh Army to enter Guizhou. Li Jiansheng accepted the order, and also estimated that the enemy would not chase after him in the near future, so he led his troops into Guizhou with confidence.
