Chapter Seventy-One: To Whom Is the Material Left?

When the attention of all kinds of encirclement and suppression armies was attracted by the independent division of the Red Army besieging Guiyang City. The Red First Army, led by the Red First Army, quickly interspersed in the territory of Qianxi. By the time the independent division retreated, the main force had already arrived in the territory of Shuicheng.

And this news was also known to the encirclement army that surrounded the Red Army with the resolution of the crisis of the siege of Guiyang. In the face of the rapid advance of the main force of the Red Army, the Central Army that rushed back to Guiyang felt a little helpless.

Most importantly, when he learned that Sun Dubu was defeated by an independent division on the outskirts of Guiyang, Long Yun, as the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan army, also seemed a little angry. He knew very well that the defensive network laid out by the Dian army had been torn open a big gap.

Judging from the current pace of the Red Army's advance, it is presumable that the Red Army will inevitably enter Yunnan. Faced with this situation, Long Yun also quickly mobilized troops, hoping to make up for the defensive loopholes formed by the defeat of Sun Du's troops.

Knowing that the main force had now been stationed in Shuicheng, He Zhengdao also felt that the Central Red Army's route in Guizhou seemed to be deviating from his memory. However, from the telegram sent by the headquarters, He Zhengdao also knew that the main force would move to Yunnan.

This means that the small deviation of the marching route does not seem to affect the subsequent return of the Red Army from Yunnan into Sichuan. That also means that the next few well-known battles will probably still happen.

The independent division stationed in Pingba only rested for half a day before continuing to move, and along the route supported by Sun Du's department, the independent division's marching speed was not slow at all. But it seems that there is still a distance of two to three days from the main force.

The reason for this is also because the tasks of the independent division have changed. From the vanguard of the four crossings of Chishui, they once again became the main rearguard troops. For such a task change, He Zhengdao also had no surprises.

Looking at the logistics troops with a somewhat slow marching speed, it was clear that the Central Army that returned to Guiyang was not far from the position of the independent division. If the march continues in this way, I am afraid that the independent division will face the heavy pursuit of the encirclement and suppression army.

Thinking of this, the troops were stationed in the next resting place, and He Zhengdao specially asked Yao Shengjun to discuss: "Political commissar, at present, our marching speed is still a little slow. Although, the Central Army is still a little far from us.

It's just that if we continue like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will be caught up by them. This time, the independent division stabbed the hornet's nest, and with Chairman Chiang's temper, he would definitely not let us join the main force easily, and would inevitably find a way to encircle and annihilate us.

You also know that the Central Army's ability to transport troops is stronger than that of the Guizhou Army and the Yunnan Army. If they mobilize a division of troops and pursue them in a car, we are afraid that we may be bitten by them if we do not enter Yunnan.

My opinion is to pick some of the supplies that we urgently need, and the rest of the supplies that delay the march of the troops, and you find a place to bury them. I think these supplies will be used sooner or later! ”

'Commander? To whom will the supplies be buried? ’

In Yao Shengjun's opinion, he also knew that the marching speed of the logistics troops was somewhat delaying the marching speed of the main force. As for the cars seized from the Sundu Ministry, most of them housed the wounded. However, the materials still rely on manpower and mules and horses to transport.

Just burying a large number of materials is undoubtedly too wasteful in Yao Shengjun's opinion. In addition, Yao Shengjun, who is also a person who has lived a hard life, knows very well the importance of materials to the Red Army.

Even in Yao Shengjun's view, with this large amount of materials, the independent division can continue to expand its army in the process of changing battles. For the Red Army, whose strength has now been greatly damaged, the expansion of the army is also an inevitable thing.

Listening to Yao Shengjun's inquiry, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Political commissar, our cooperation is not a day or two, you should know that with the current strength of the independent division, as long as it is not bitten by the pursuing Central Army, the Yunnan-Guizhou Army in front is not to worry."

I say this to tell you that in the days to come, as long as there is a war, we should not have to worry about the shortage of supplies, on the contrary, you will have to worry that you will not be able to bring so many captured materials by then.

The decision to bury the materials was made because of the current independent division, which needed to quickly distance itself from the pursuing troops of the national army. Secondly, I think that if these materials are buried on the spot, they may play a vital role in a force. ”

'The troops? Behind us, are there any other troops? ’

At this time, He Zhengdao spread out a map of the distribution of friends and enemies on the table, pointed to the Red Second Front Army currently in Xiangxi, and said: "Political commissar, do you think that once the main force jumps out of the enemy's encirclement, what will the Red Second Front Army do next?" ”

'What does the division commander mean, it is possible for the Red Second Front to move along our line to the battle?' ’

From the beginning of burying materials outside Jingzhou City, Yao Shengjun felt that he didn't understand a little. But now when he saw He Zhengdao, he pointed out that the materials were buried somewhere in front of Pingba and left for the Red Second Front Army to use, and he seemed very confused.

As if seeing Yao Shengjun's confusion, He Zhengdao could only continue to explain: "Political commissar, according to the latest march route decided by the headquarters, we will next merge with the Red Fourth Front Army to establish an anti-Japanese base in the north.

Then in the entire south, there are only the Red Second and Red Sixth Army Corps under the command of General He. If I were Chairman Chiang, I would definitely find a way to reduce the strength of our Red Army after knowing that we would not be able to round up our main forces.

In this way, when the encirclement and suppression army pursuing us converges with He Jian's Hunan army again, and if this force is to be preserved, it is undoubtedly the wisest decision for the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps to go north with the main force.

If the main forces of several major base areas can gain a foothold somewhere in the north, perhaps we will not be able to take too much territory. But I think there should be no problem with a province. After all, the strength of the army of the northern country * is also not strong. ”

Let He Zhengdao explain like this, Yao Shengjun also felt that there was some truth, but he still asked: "Then this matter, do you want to meet with the headquarters?" ”

'Commissar, all this is just my subjective speculation, what can I say about the convergence with the headquarters? Bury some guns, ammunition and food, even if they can't use them in the future, they can also be handed over to our guerrillas for use.

I believe that with the transfer of our Red Army to Guizhou this time, the local people already know that our Red Army is a poor man's army. The seeds left behind this road will inevitably be carried out in Guizhou in the future to carry out guerrilla operations behind enemy lines.

If they don't use these materials at that time, they can also be handed over to the local or nearby guerrillas. With the weapons, ammunition and food we have buried, I believe that the strength of the guerrillas will also be enhanced.

The most important thing is that we simply can't march with so much supplies now. We're on the road now, and cars can still be of some use. What about once the national * army dispatches planes? We're in trouble! ’

As for the power of the aircraft, Yao Shengjun, who participated in the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, could not be clearer. At present, in Guizhou, there are also airports built by the Central Army, and there is a military airport of the Central Army in Guiyang City.

In the face of this kind of big guy in the sky, the Red Army was very disgusted and fearful. At present, most of the independent divisions march in the evening, and choose a safe place to rest during the day.

The purpose was to evade those Central Army planes flying over Guizhou for reconnaissance. If it weren't for He Zhengdao's good camouflage for the troops, the Red Army, which was only afraid of resting during the day, might have withstood the bombing of the Central Army Air Force.

Thinking of this, Yao Shengjun quickly said: "Okay, how many materials are buried?" ”

'Well, the commissar, you just have to decide. My request is that the speed of the march of the troops must not be affected. Now that the main force has continued to depart from Shuicheng, I hope to join the main force again when I enter the territory of Yunnan. ’

'Good! ’

Yao Shengjun, who took over this task very neatly, chose to bury all the materials that needed to be carried by soldiers according to the transportation capacity of mules and horses. For such a decision, the logistics soldiers, who were held by the captive soldiers, were also full of joy.

After all, marching with heavy supplies on their backs, every captive soldier felt tired. Now it was much easier for them to march with their mules and horses on their backs.

It's just that many of the captives don't know where the things they carried before have gone. Only with the current independent division, tens of thousands of horses and horses are consumed, and the materials consumed every day are actually a lot, and they all think that the materials are consumed by the troops.

Seeing that he was on the road again, the marching speed was obviously much faster, and He Zhengdao also felt very happy. By the time the Independent Division arrived in the Anshun area of Guizhou, the seized cars were completely lying on their stomachs because they ran out of gas.

For this situation, He Zhengdao also felt a little helpless. Just seeing those car tires, He Zhengdao found tools, dismantled all the tires, and changed them into several special carriages under the witness of many Red officers and soldiers.

In Ho's words, this is also considered waste utilization. The horse-drawn carriages converted from the tires of these cars were undoubtedly more durable than the mule-horse carts collected or purchased by independent divisions. It's used to pull things, and it's a special use!

Even if the Central Army finds these cars in the future and sees them dismantled like this, it is estimated that they will not be able to repair them. In these years, the price of cars is still not cheap, and seeing these cars that are not well repaired, it is estimated that the Central Army will also be painful!
