Chapter Seventy-Two: Take the Flag of the Independent Division?

Looking at the encirclement and suppression army that had worked hard to rush back to Guiyang, as well as the movements of the main force of the Red Army that were currently known, Chairman Chiang, who had personally come to Guiyang to supervise the battle, also felt very angry. This time, he seemed to watch the Red Army slip away again.

Although the crisis in Guiyang has now been resolved, the siege and artillery bombardment of the independent division made Chairman Chiang hate this newly emerged independent division of the Red Army. What made him even more angry was that the origin of the independent division made him feel that he couldn't hang his face.

According to the investigation of the independent division, the Central Army already knew that this was a unit with the Red Army as the backbone of the Red Army, which had been captured by them. What made many generals of the encirclement and suppression army blush even more was that the chaos on the Hunan and Guizhou borders was all caused by this army.

A Red Army unit with only two or three thousand men in number hid under their noses and turned the Hunan army and the Gui army into a state of fire and water. Even the Central Army was involved, and a group of warlords and bigwigs were all turned around!

In view of this situation, Chairman Chiang, who was already planning to leave Guizhou, personally summoned Xue Yue, who had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and said: "Boling, I will return to Nanjing in the afternoon, there is still a matter waiting for me, and the matter here will be handed over to you."

This time, you pursued the Red Army, made great contributions for the party and the country, and successfully won the military and political power in Guizhou for the party and the country. But this time, let the **** Red Army lead you by the nose, and let them surround Guiyang, you are also suspected of dereliction of duty! ”

'The lowly command is unfavorable, let the **** Red Army slip away, please punish the chairman! ’

It is clear that in this kind of matter, it is better to confess your sins honestly. At least Xue Yue could still hear Chairman Jiang's trust in him from Chairman Jiang's previous words. Let's talk about the gong first, and then I said it, the habitual heart technique of the art of control.

Looking at Xue Yue, who was honestly pleading, Chairman Jiang smiled and said, "Boling, occasional failures are always inevitable. After all, the **** Red Army is too cunning, and many people know it. Don't worry too much about it, just keep trying.

Next, you and Long Yun must cooperate well, and you must not let the Red Army escape again. It's just that for the main force of the **** Red Army, you can also postpone the pursuit and let them enter Yunnan to make a good fuss.

At the right time, you can send Zhou Hunyuan and them into Yunnan to cooperate with Long Yun to clear out the main force of the Red Army that has entered Yunnan. As for how to do it, I'm sure you should understand what I mean, the central government must centralize power, understand? ”

'Yes, Chairman, I understand! ’

In Xue Yue's view, Chairman Jiang, who successfully gained control of the military and political affairs in Guizhou, has now begun to play Long Yun's idea again. It's just that in his opinion, the strength of the Dian army led by Long Yun is still much stronger than that of the Guizhou army.

Compared with Wang Jialie's inability to refuse the entry of the Central Army into Guizhou, the Yunnan Army commanded by Long Yun is afraid that it will not easily let the Central Army enter Yunnan. As the commander of the Second Route Army of the encirclement and suppression force, Long Yun was much heavier than Wang Jialie in the battle of encirclement and suppression of the Red Army.

But at this moment, in the face of Chairman Jiang's face-to-face teaching, Xue Yue still agreed very simply. Clearly, whether it can really be done, in fact, Xue Yue's heart still seems a little bottomless.

At this time, Chairman Jiang said with a somewhat serious expression: "For the next battle, I have only one request for you, that is, to do your best to annihilate this independent division of the Red Army in Guizhou."

Next, all the troops in Guizhou will be under your command, including the air force I left in Guiyang. No matter what the cost, this independent division that has lost face to the party and the country must be completely annihilated, can it be done? ”

'Please rest assured, the chairman of the committee, will do everything in his power to make it impossible to join the **** Red Army. will also do everything possible to annihilate this independent division in Guizhou. ’

It is very clear that Chairman Jiang is really angry this time. The independent division besieged Guiyang, causing panic in the city, but in the end it played them a trick, ran away overnight, and defeated the main force of a division of Sun Du who came to help.

The so-called party-state has lost face, and Chairman Chiang feels ashamed. finally mobilized the army and came to Guiyang to personally supervise the battle, but was almost captured alive by the Red Army. This was undoubtedly a source of anger for him.

At present, I learned that the independent division is still a lone army. There is still some distance from the main forces of the Red Army. Now that the army has gathered again, Chairman Jiang naturally felt the need to take this bold independent division to sacrifice the flag.

In this way, Chairman Jiang left Guiyang by special plane. He Zhengdao, who arrived in Anshun, also found that the number of reconnaissance planes of the Central Army circling around the vicinity during the day seemed to have increased.

And according to the Central Army telegram intercepted by Sun Shicheng, He Zhengdao also smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Political commissar, chief of staff, it seems that Lao Jiang is really angry." Look at this frame, it's an iron heart that plans to serve our independent division in one pot! ”

Facing He Zhengdao's words, Wang Tianlin also looked a little regretful and said: "Alas, I knew that at that time, I really should have attacked Guiyang City." Now that we've withdrawn, they're starting to be arrogant again. ”

Looking at the route of the main force, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Next, I'm afraid we won't be able to take the big road." This time, the main force of the Central Army must have driven out of Guiyang City and pursued us along the main road.

According to the information detected by the reconnaissance company, in the Anshun area, the Central Army also transferred nearby garrison troops and set up a defensive network along the Yunnan-Guizhou Highway. If we play hard, even if we can break through, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In addition to this, we all marched at night, and the troops did not march fast. Therefore, we must change the way we march, choose a combination of day and night, and quickly implement breakthroughs. ”

'Commander, in this way, won't our whereabouts be revealed?' ’

In the face of Wang Tianlin's inquiry, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Although we are walking day and night, as long as the enemy's commander is not stupid, he can also see the destination of our march, and he must be converging with the main force."

By the speed of our march, they can roughly guess where our independent division is at the moment. From the defensive line arranged by the garrison of the Anshun Qianjun Army, it can be seen that they have calculated that we will go in this direction.

My opinion is that from tomorrow morning, we will not take the Yunnan-Guizhou highway and will begin to make a detour to catch up with the main force. Although the journey will take a little more time. The Central Army, which can pursue us, must also choose two legs to pursue us.

From the telegrams we have intercepted so far, I make a bold prediction. The main force of the Central Army, which had withdrawn from the Zunyi area, was only afraid that the real target to be dealt with would be us, and the main force would not be in any danger until it entered the territory of Yunnan. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's judgment, Yao Shengjun thought for a while and said: "What does the division commander mean, Lao Jiang hopes that after our main force marches into Yunnan, those encirclement and suppression armies that follow the main force will also give Long Yun a false way to cut down?" ”

'I think it's very likely! Based on Lao Jiang's emphasis on the need for the central government to centralize power, and the swallowing of Guizhou, it can be seen that he must have such a plan. As for why he is targeting us, I'm afraid that we have lost his face, and I feel very annoyed! ’

Thinking of the slogans shouted by the independent division along the way, as well as what they did outside Guiyang City, Yao Shengjun and Wang Tianlin felt very proud. After all, they were the first troops to attack Lao Chiang at such a close distance since the establishment of the Red Army!

With the consent of the two, He Zhengdao immediately convened a meeting of the battalion commanders of the independent division to plan the next combat mission. Although quite a few battalion commanders felt that the modification of the marching route had increased their marching distance.

But they also knew that there was a siege in front and a chasing army behind them. If we don't make a plan to revise the marching route, it is really possible that we will not be able to get out of Guizhou. And He Zhengdao's plan is just a way to go, but it is relatively much safer.

After the meeting, He Zhengdao gave the regimental commanders another strange order. Excellent light and heavy machine gunners were selected from various regiments and temporarily assigned to reconnaissance companies for intensive use and training.

When the machine gunners selected by each regiment arrived at the reconnaissance company, and watching He Zhengdao reappear, everyone seemed a little curious. But He Zhengdao pointed to the planes that appeared overhead from time to time and said, "Do you hate it when you see them flying overhead?" ”

In a word, many puzzled machine gunners immediately realized the reason why they were specially transferred. Thinking about it, He Zhengdao wanted to concentrate a group of machine gunners to counterattack the Central Army planes that might appear.

But machine guns, can they really hit planes?

Faced with the inquiries of these machine gunners, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "In fact, we have switched to the war so far, and there is not even one plane that has been shot down. As long as we defend in advance, you will know that airplanes are not that scary.

Even after you go through special training, next time these nasty guys will be shot down by you like live targets. It's just that in order to take down these pesky planes, we also need to do some assault training.

Only by solving these planes buzzing overhead, can our next march appear safer. So I hope that in the future, you all have to hear clearly, everything that I say to you, understand? ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

For many commanders and fighters of the Red Army, their hatred of the Central Army was self-evident. It's just a pity that the Red Army has never had effective anti-aircraft weapons. In the face of this kind of large-scale killing weapon, it often seems that they have the intention to kill the enemy but are powerless to return to the sky.

If we can really find an effective method, I believe that every Red Army machine gunner will study desperately. As long as they have a way to deal with the plane, the next time they face the ravages of the plane, they will no longer have to panic and pay a terrible price!
