With the success of the main force of the independent division in Shuicheng, many people in Shuicheng were very surprised when they looked at the tens of thousands of prisoners escorted into the city. When, in their opinion, was the Red Army so strong in combat?

According to the government's propaganda, the Red Army was beaten by them in Guizhou. But why, every time I see the Red Army coming to Shuicheng, it seems that it is the Central Army that suffers? This makes many people feel that they are only afraid that the government is bragging!

In the face of the curious eyes of these people, He Zhengdao, who finally converged with the political commissar, was also greeted by the political commissar sitting in the rear out of the city. The total annihilation of one of Zhou Hunyuan's divisions this time undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Red Army!

'Commander, this battle is so beautiful! ’

Listening to Yao Shengjun's words, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Winning the battle is originally a matter of my duty. It's just a political commissar, how many captives can be selected from them to supplement our division depends on your ability.

In order to distance yourself from the pursuers as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you too much time. Of the more than 10,000 captives, I hope to recruit half of the soldiers to join our ranks. In this way, our division will be truly full. ”

'Don't worry, I'll do my best!' In the past few days, the political education of the new regiment has been completed, and the results are not bad. If you agree, we can add new recruits to our main regiment. ’

Of course I agreed! After this battle, we still lost a lot of soldiers. I'm going to hold a funeral for them tomorrow in Watertown. Those who are wounded should also be healed as soon as possible.

If you really can't take them away, you have to contact the local guerrillas and send them to the mountains to recuperate from their wounds. Next, we must also speed up, otherwise we want to join up with the main force, and we don't know when we will have to wait. ’

'Good! I'll arrange these things! ’

After a brief conversation between the two outside the city, He Zhengdao, who returned to the headquarters of the division in the city, also quickly said: "Send a telegram to the headquarters to inform our department of the battle situation this time." In addition, the head of the headquarters was told that the independent division needed at least two days of rest. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

With this telegram, it was sent to the headquarters that had just crossed the Jinsha River. Zhou Enlai, who received the telegram, looked at the telegram that had just been translated, and patted the table excitedly: "This battle is beautiful!" ”

Looking at Zhou Enlai, who was so excited, these officers and soldiers in the telegraph room also felt very happy. Although the independent division was a newly formed unit, this unit was already a heroic unit in the hearts of these telegraphers.

When this telegram was transferred to Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, Mao Taizu was also very happy and said: "This battle is good!" annihilated Zhou Hunyuan's main division, and by the way, he also copied the Liupan Guizhou Army Reorganization Division.

In this way, in front of the independent division, there are more routes that can break through. This Zhou Hunyuan, who can also be regarded as the sworn enemy of our Red Army, was finally planted in our hands this time. It seems that our Chairman Chiang is going to be sad! ”

'Yes! As an opponent, this Zhou Hunyuan is indeed a rare general. It's a pity that he, like other generals of the Central Army, only knows how to obey orders and act as Lao Jiang's executioner. Alas! ’

Mr. Zhu, who has dealt with Zhou Hunyuan many times, naturally knows that Zhou Hunyuan's combat command ability is very good. This time, if he didn't want to hold on to the steep basket and wait for several other reinforcements to join in, he was afraid that he would not have ended up like this.

At this time, looking at the march routes of several Central Army, Mao Taizu said with some concern: "Boss, do you think the independent division can stay in Shuicheng for two days?" The 86th Division of the Central Army is not far from them. ”

'Lao Mao, I think we should believe Xiao He, he should know better than us the situation they are facing at this moment. If he wasn't sure, I don't think he would have made such a decision. Let him decide for himself! ’

'Alright, Enlai, tell us the next march to the Independent Division. They were ordered to leave Guizhou as soon as possible and strive to join the main forces in Sichuan. The current situation between friend and foe is not yet time to relax! ’

'Okay, I'll send them the telegram later!' ’

After receiving the main marching route sent by the headquarters, He Zhengdao felt that the current plan of the main force of the Red Army was still to join forces with the Red Fourth Front Army. It's just that He Zhengdao knows that today's Red Fourth Front Army is afraid that it doesn't respect the central government very much!

It's just that He Zhengdao won't show this kind of worry. Ordered the troops to rest and recuperate, and sent reinforcements from the Nayong side. After learning that Zhou Hunyuan had been defeated, he decisively stopped and continued to advance.

As for Xue Yue, who was far away in Guiyang, in the face of this kind of ending, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's over!" If you want to encircle and annihilate this independent division of the Red Army, I am afraid that there will be no chance. Next, how do you explain to the chairman? ”

In the face of today's situation, even if Xue Yue doesn't want to admit defeat, he must admit that the situation at this moment is very unfavorable to them. In particular, the distance between the independent division and the main force of the Red Army, which is now advancing into Sichuan, is not too far.

Although between the two armies, there are still many Dian and Sichuan armies. It's just that Xue Yue knows very well that the combat effectiveness of the Dian army and the Sichuan army guarding the border is not reliable at all. If you want to snipe an independent division, it's simply impossible!

At present, most of the main forces of the Yunnan army have been transferred to the vicinity of Kunming. The main force of the Sichuan Army also dealt with the Red Fourth Front Army that entered Sichuan. How could the few remaining garrison troops resist the main force of the Red Army entering Sichuan?

Although he knew that there was nothing he could do, Xue Yue still telegraphed the Yunnan army Long Yun, and the Sichuan army Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui to mobilize heavy troops to encircle the independent division on the Yunnan-Sichuan border. As long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, the independent division could not easily join the main forces of the Red Army.

Only before the advance of the separate divisions of large troops. The 1st Regiment of the Independent Division and the reconnaissance battalion, after a day of repairs in Shuicheng, have secretly driven out of Shuicheng. What they have to do is to open the way for the follow-up main forces.

After two days of rest, Yao Shengjun successfully selected more than 5,000 ordinary soldiers from the captives and joined the new corps of instructors. The rest of the prisoners were also transferred to join the logistics unit.

As for the eliminated captives, He Zhengdao ordered the Second Regiment to drive them all to Steep Ridge and follow Zhou Hunyuan there. And the food and supplies given to them can only last for three days at most.

If their reinforcements don't arrive within three days, then it's none of his business. Most of these prisoners who were released were veterans and prisoners with bad habits.

In addition to a group of officers who were really loyal to the Central Army, the rest of the officers who were less guilty were also sent to the logistics brigade by Yao Shengjun to transport supplies for the independent division. When to release it, it depends on their luck!

After the main forces of the Red Army began to move from Shuicheng in the direction of Liupan. Xue Yue, who learned the news, still ordered Nayong's encirclement and suppression troops to pursue. It's just that this unit, not far from Shuicheng, was beaten back in embarrassment.

In the face of these reorganization divisions whose combat effectiveness was scum, Xue Yue also seemed very powerless. It's just that for the sake of their success in recapturing Water City, Xue Yue can't embarrass them too much. After all, these guys are all land snakes!

only learned that Zhou Hunyuan was not rescued in the end due to his serious injuries, and Xue Yue also knew that he couldn't take off this board. In Chairman Jiang's heart, this is his confidant!

After receiving the telegram from Xue Yue, Chairman Chiang was inevitably furious again. After venting a bit, Chairman Jiang also knew that if he wanted to encircle and annihilate this independent division, he was afraid that it would be unlikely.

But even so, Chairman Jiang still ordered: "Order Xue Yue and Long Yun to mobilize heavy troops for me to advance into Sichuan." It is necessary to annihilate the main force of the Red Army and this independent division in Sichuan.

If they fail again, then don't blame me for court-marrying them. Niang Xipi, we have the advantage in terms of troops, and the materials and equipment are a hundred times stronger than the Red Army. Why, is it always us who lose? ”

For this kind of question, no one in the Central Army generals who were angry dared to answer it. However, many generals felt that Chairman Chiang's plan to annihilate the Red Army in Sichuan had only a low chance of success.

The elite of the Central Army, which was annihilated by the independent division alone, reached 30,000 or 40,000 people in three divisions. And the main force of the Central Army that they participated in the encirclement and suppression actually did not have much left in Guizhou. And at this moment, how many troops of the Red Army are in Sichuan?

Not to mention the Red Front Army and independent divisions, the Red Fourth Front Army, which entered Sichuan alone, had a strength of 70,000 or 80,000 troops. For the Sichuan army, which was poorly equipped, they did not have much advantage at all in fighting against the Red Fourth Front Army.

It is one thing to know that it is one thing, but at present, the orders given by Chairman Chiang in anger must also be resolutely implemented. At such a time, no one dared to touch his moldy head. But many generals of the Central Army remembered the independent division of the Red Army.

A unit formed by a Red Army that had been captured by the Central Army could cause so much trouble with them. Its commander, He Zhengdao, has also become the target of the intelligence department of the Central Army.

It's a pity that He Zhengdao's appearance is too mysterious. In addition, when I used to stay in the defense brigade, I came into contact with the top brass of the Red Army. Those who really know his situation are afraid that there are not many in the Red Army, and it is not easy to collect detailed information about him!
