In the headquarters of the Red Army, Runzhi held a telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "Jade Tier, I'm afraid you can't imagine that Ouyang Jian actually guessed your mind and mine." Just now we discussed that the 27th Division of the uprising needs a safe place for reorganization, and you and I have made a decision that it is most opportune for the 27th Division to be pulled to the Jiujiang base area for reorganization, and look at Ouyang Jian's telegram is coming, and it also gives us a big surprise. Zhu De took the telegram suspiciously, quickly glanced at it a few times, and said happily: "I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to be so generous, and suggested that the 27th Division join the 5th Army Corps after the reorganization is completed, and give Song Renqiao's 15th Division to us for replacement." ”

"Why don't we accept such a big gift! Moreover, Ouyang Jian's transformation of captives has formed a complete system and has a set of mature experience. In addition, giving us a full-fledged division of the main forces will bring the combat effectiveness of the main forces of the Red Army to a higher level. "Immediately call Ouyang Jian back and let Song Shiqiao's troops go south and the 27th Division go north." As soon as Zhu De's words fell, an operational staff officer reported: "Ouyang Jian is in a hurry!" Zhu De quickly checked the telegram in confusion and said, "Ouyang Jian has sent another big gift!" Runyuki took the telegram and looked at it, and quickly aimed at the map. Runzhi, Ouyang Jian judged that the 27th Division revolted, the 9th Division was encircled and annihilated, and Lao Jiang's third encirclement and suppression came to an end. ”

Runzhi nodded and said: "The next step is that the enemy army will retreat, Ouyang Jian ordered Xiao Kebu to involve the enemy in Nanchang, and ordered Song Ren to secretly go south, and hide and wait in the Xinyu area It turned out to be killing two birds with one stone, jade steps, see his intentions!" "Ouyang Jian is too shrewd, obviously he has set his sights on the enemy's 22nd Division, Ouyang Jian not only sent us a main division, but also sent us a complete meal, I think we can make up our minds." "At present, the enemy's 11th and 5th divisions have retreated to southern Jiangnan, the 14th and 8th divisions have retreated to Ji'an, and the 22nd division in the north of Ningdu can only retreat to Wuzhou. It just so happened that Song Ren's poor army appeared in the Xinyu area, and it seemed that Ouyang Jian had already aimed at the 22nd Division. ”

The atmosphere at the headquarters of the Front Army was even more enthusiastic, filled with joy that had never been seen before. "Immediately telegraphed Peng Dehuai to immediately move his troops north, one to cover the withdrawal of the 27th Division's rebel troops to the Jiujiang base area for reorganization, and the other to cooperate with the 15th Division of the 5th Army Corps to encircle and annihilate the enemy's 22nd Division. At present, the 5th Division of the 17th Army Corps, Song Renqiu, has secretly moved south and is secretly waiting in the Xinyu area. In addition, according to the decision of the headquarters, the 5th Division of the 15th Army Corps officially joined the Red Third Army Corps, and the 27th Division joined the Red 5th Army Corps after completing the reorganization in the Jiujiang area. "The telegram from the headquarters of the Red Army flew to Ningdu, only 6 hours after the annihilation of the 9th Division.

There was laughter and laughter in the headquarters of the three army corps in Ningdu, and Peng Dehai and the rebel generals sat together and drank and talked. After the victory in Ningdu, in view of the uprising of the 27th Division on the battlefield and the encirclement and annihilation of the 9th Division, Lao Jiang ordered all divisions to retreat quickly, especially the 11th Division that broke through on the west side, which was scared faster than a rabbit, so Peng Dehuai decided to rest in Ningdu and took the opportunity to reorganize the 27th Division. Everyone was talking, and an operational staff officer made an urgent report: "Report, the headquarters is calling!" Peng Dehuai hurriedly took the message and looked at it, and after being shocked, he was overjoyed and said, "Haha, great." Chief of staff! The troops were ordered to prepare immediately and set off north at midnight. ”

Facing everyone's questioning gaze, Peng Dehuai continued: "Commander-in-Chief Ji, Chief of Staff Zhao, Political Commissar Xiao, the headquarters ordered your department to go to the Jiujiang base area for reorganization. Headquarters decided to join the 5 Corps after the reorganization of your department was completed. At present, the 5th Division of the 15th Army Corps is on standby in the Xinyu area, and the headquarters has decided to join the 3rd Army Corps of the Red 15th Division. In addition, the 22nd Division was retreating to Wuzhou, and the headquarters ordered the Red 15th Division to intercept the enemy's 22nd Division in the Renhe area, and ordered our main force to immediately go north to encircle the enemy's 22nd Division! ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Ji Zhentong said: "I have long heard that Ouyang Jian is a legend of the Red Army, and it is an honor for me to be under his command, so I ordered the troops to prepare for departure immediately." Political Commissar Xiao Jinguang asked, "Commander Peng, how is our retreat route?" Peng Dehuai said with a smile: "Ouyang Jian has already arranged for you, at present, Xiao Ke led his troops and cavalry regiments to involve the enemy in the northwest direction of Nanchang, you crossed the Jinjiang River through the east side of Xinyu and went straight to Yichang County, and Zhao Liang of the 5th Army Corps sent a regiment to meet you through Xiushui County." In addition, our encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's 22nd Division will attract the enemy's attention, and there will be no problem with the safety of your retreat route. ”

At midnight, the troops began to set out, and the mighty army was in high spirits, marching north in two columns. Peng Dehuai rode a war horse and went hand in hand with political commissar Teng Daiyuan and chief of staff Deng Ping. Peng Dehuai said excitedly: "Song Ren's poor division suddenly appeared near Xinyu, I guess that the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's 22nd Division is Ouyang Jian's attention, otherwise the 15th Division would not have appeared in the Xinyu area." Ouyang Jian was not only bold and careful, but also very sharp-eyed, which showed that his grasp of the battle situation was very accurate. Now I am confident that his strategic vision will come to fruition. ”

Teng Daiyuan said with a smile: "Commander, a main division with strong combat effectiveness was sent to us, what do you think?" "Commander, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for a few days and nights!" Chief of Staff Deng Ping teased. "I'm thinking that Ouyang Jian generously gave us an integrated division, not only to exchange it with the 27th Division, but also to strengthen the regularization of the main Red Army. The troops built by Ouyang Jian, I can tell you responsibly that their degree of regularization has surpassed that of Jiang's troops, especially the low-level commanders of the department have been trained by military academies, you think about what kind of concept this is. ”

Chief of Staff Deng Ping said: "The ability of the 5th Army Corps to recruit and fight well is closely related to the overall military quality of the officers and men, and the addition of the 15th Division to the 3rd Army Corps will play a powerful role in promoting our regularization construction, and its significance is indeed immeasurable." Political Commissar Teng Daiyuan said: "The atmosphere of the officers and men of the 5th Army Corps is very strong, and Xiao Feng's department has played an exemplary role, and the entry of the 15th Division will further promote the enthusiasm of officers and men for learning, and will form a pattern that has become a common practice." An army without culture is a stupid army, what a nail on the head."" Commissar, this is your business! ”

The two armies parted ways on the south side of Xinyu, the 27th Division turned to the northwest, and Peng Dehuai led the main force to the northeast. In the eastern part of the Xinyu area, the officers and men of the 15th Division were advancing rapidly, and according to the retreating march route of the enemy's 22nd Division, the 15th Division was to rush to Renhe in Chongren County to set up an ambush and intercept it. At dusk, the troops took a break, and the officers and men took out rice balls, dried meat, and pickles to temporarily fill their stomachs. "Division commander, according to the speed of our march, it is estimated that we can reach the Renhe River at midnight, and we will encounter the enemy at dawn. The main force of the three corps reached Huangshui, and we had to block it at least 12 hours at the Inhe River. "The chief of staff gestured on the map.

"Send a report to Commander Peng that our troops will arrive at Renhe at midnight and resolutely block the enemy!" A loud marching horn sounded, and the troops began to hit the road again. The political commissar said: "Division commander, since you received the order from the corps commander, you have been in a bad mood, I understand your feelings, but we must have a sense of the overall situation, not personal emotions." The corps commander made it very clear in his telegram that joining the Third Army Corps was a necessity of the revolutionary situation and allowed us to establish a strategic vision. "Political commissar, I have this awareness, but I don't want to leave Captain Ouyang." The commissar and the chief of staff were speechless, in fact, they were all in the same mood, but reason must prevail over emotion.

Nanchang camp, Lao Jiang stood speechless with a pale face, at this time the German, British, and Japanese military advisers had long been gone, and the war situation was so erosive that it was better not to say hello, so as not to burn himself. The senior staff team standing on one side was also cautious, not daring to make casual remarks, lest Lao Jiang spill his anger on himself. In the past month and a half, the thunderous encirclement and suppression has come to naught, and it is not too much to describe it as a heavy loss. Lao Jiang reviewed himself and saw what had gone wrong.

Three successive large-scale encirclement and suppression, the Red Army did not become weaker and weaker the more it fought, but became stronger and stronger, and he underestimated Zhu Mao's ability. Now that the war situation is out of control, after thinking about it, Lao Jiang believes that Ouyang Jian of Jiujiang, as a "shadow killer", has played a key role in the entire encirclement and suppression process. Lao Jiang remembered the report provided by Wei Lihuang and thought that it was very reasonable, the character of Ouyang Jian was too terrifying, and almost every military operation failed with his shadow. Now the strength of the Red Army in Jiangxi has grown, and the previous encirclement and suppression operations can no longer shake the Red Army.

But the roof leak happened to rain overnight, "Report! He Yingqin of the Central Route Group Army urgently reported that the Zhou Zhe Division of the 22nd Division was intercepted by the Red Army at Renhe in Chongren County, and the main force led by Peng Dehuai is currently encircling and annihilating. Lao Jiang was taken aback when he heard this, the Battle of Ningdu had just ended for two days and one night, and Peng Dehuai was so difficult that he flew to Renhe? Lao Jiang's eyes looked at Renhe and suddenly understood what was going on, the key was that the 22nd Division was almost alone, and the rescue was impossible, Lao Jiang was silent. One of the staff members said worriedly: "Commander-in-chief, is it difficult that Peng Dehuai has ambushed a force in Renhe in advance?" ”

"Idiot, is Ouyang Jian's army secretly going south, understand? Instructed He Yingqin to go all out to rescue? Lao Chiang did not dare to interfere in the front-line command again, lest it cause public opinion to attack. At present, the elders of the state government have accused him of arbitrarily meddling in military command, and the defeat is already decided, and Lao Jiang does not want to set himself on fire at the last moment. However, when Lao Jiang was extremely depressed, bad news came from Fujian, and Luo Lin's 77th Division was surrounded by the main force of the Red Army in Gutian. At present, the troops of the Chiang army on the right are retreating according to Lao Chiang's orders, and it is too late to redeploy at all, so Lao Chiang can only strictly order Chen Mingshu to rescue with all his might, and only God knows whether the 77th Division can be rescued.

In the headquarters of the 5th Army Corps in Yunshui County, Chief of Staff Su Yu said: "Commander of the Corps, the headquarters called, Peng Dehuai and his main force and Song Renqiao's 15th Division, after 15 hours of fierce fighting, the 22nd Division except for the division commander Zhou Zhe led a regiment to escape, the rest were all annihilated. According to the report of the headquarters, Lin led the main force of the 1st Army Corps to break through the defense of Gutian City in the early morning after a night of attacking fortifications, and the battle is still fierce, and it is expected that the battle will be ended at noon, and the destruction of the enemy's 77th Division is a foregone conclusion. And they were all overjoyed.

Su Yu reported: "The commander of the corps, Han Chu and Chen Ming, reported that the two led their troops north, and the enemy's 24th Division Xu Kexiang and two brigades withdrew from De'an County, and their troops occupied De'an County without blood. "Ordered Chen Ming to lead his troops to garrison the county seat of De'an and actively defend in the direction of Jiujiang. Ordered Han Chu to lead his troops to quickly capture Ruichang County, and now is the right time to make no mistake. After Ouyang Jian gave the order, he raised his eyes and glanced at the calendar card, the date was August 25th. In 6 days will enter September. It is self-evident what September means, the situation in the country will be turned upside down, all military operations will be stopped, and a more formidable enemy will be introduced.

Although the local history has changed, the backbone will not change. In July, a catastrophic flood occurred on the Yangtze River, and Lao Chiang went all out to encircle and suppress the Red Army and had no intention of providing disaster relief, which then caused a large number of people on both sides of the Yangtze River to be displaced and hundreds of thousands of people drowned. Therefore, a large number of victims poured into Jiangxi in the Jiujiang area and along the banks of the river, and in the face of this situation, Ouyang Jian ordered to stop all military operations and make every effort to rescue the victims who entered Jiangxi.

With the annihilation of the enemy's 22nd Division and the enemy's 77th Division, the Central Army quickly withdrew its troops in Jiangxi on a large scale, and the situation before the encirclement and suppression was restored in the base area. In addition to Nanchang and the northeastern region, Jiujiang including Ganzhou, the rest of the areas have become base areas, and the vast base areas are once again connected. After a brutal fierce battle, the base areas were once again connected to a piece that was not the same as the state before the encirclement and suppression, which means that the red base areas in Jiangxi will usher in a blowout situation of great development. End of Part 2.
