The ambush that happened in Shuangbao Town, even if the Central Army deliberately blocked the news, was still known to many reporters. There are still many voices of opposition to the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Kuomintang Army.

Coupled with the current rule of the Japanese army in the three eastern provinces, the people of the three eastern provinces have suffered greatly. Many enlightened people in China advocated going north to resist Japan. However, the Red Army's proposal to go north to resist Japan was still supported by many ordinary people and patriots.

Therefore, the independent division of the Red Army in Shuangbao Town shot down 21 planes of the Central Army in World War I, which made many people feel that the Central Army was consuming the country's strength. After all, the overall strength of the Huaxia Air Force is there, and one less one is knocked out.

Looking at the remarks published by many newspapers about 'stopping the civil war and uniting to resist Japan,' Chairman Chiang was naturally in a bad mood. The Central Army, which could only be strictly ordered to pursue, to speed up the encirclement and suppression of this independent division that had broken away from the main force.

This is also the first time that the people in the country know that the Red Army has a unit with the number of independent divisions. It's just that He Zhengdao, who made such a big move, led the independent division to speed up the march.

Perhaps it was the ambush battle in Shuangbao Town that really frightened the air force of the Central Army. As a result, the planes that usually swayed overhead no longer dared to come to the skies of the marching independent division, which made the marching Red Army breathe a sigh of relief.

It was only with the main force of the Red Army that it successfully arrived in Panxian and began to make final preparations, but the independent division had just taken down Guanling and began to rest. At this time, the encirclement and suppression army of the Central Army, which was following behind, was less than two days away from the independent division.

In response to this situation, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Send a report to the main force, and our department will meet with the headquarters at the appropriate time and as soon as possible." In view of the current hostile situation, our unit will choose a suitable location to advance to Yunnan and converge with its headquarters. ”

He Zhengdao, who said this, did not say the specific location. This means that He Zhengdao also can't tell the headquarters that the independent division will take that road next. However, He Zhengdao knew that he could not delay the time for the main force to march into Yunnan.

Now the two main divisions of the Central Army have arrived in Pu'an. The distance from the main forces of the Red Army, again, was less than two days left. And Pu'an is precisely the only way for the independent division to converge with the main force.

This also means that the strategic intention of the independent division to converge with the main force has been destroyed by the Central Army. If the independent division continues to move forward, the result is self-evident, and it will be caught by the central armies in front and behind.

After receiving a telegram from the Independent Division, Mao Taizu also understood that the situation of the Independent Division would be very dangerous in the future. After discussing with Mr. Zhu, he still sent a telegram to the independent division that 'preserving the vital force and waiting for an opportunity to break through'.

It's just that Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu both know that if they want to do this, I'm afraid it's really not easy. After all, at this moment, the two divisions of the Gui Army have advanced to Anlong and are ready to join the battle against the encirclement and suppression of the independent division.

When ordering the troops to rest and recuperate at Guanling, He Zhengdao convened an expanded military meeting of the commanders of the whole division and battalion to discuss the next operation of the independent division. And the officers and men of the whole division knew that their way to join the main force had been blocked.

Under such circumstances, the direction of the independent division has indeed made many officers and men seem worried. The soldiers' worries also made the expressions of these battalion commanders look a little solemn. After all, the tide of battle is very bad for them!

When He Zhengdao arrived at the conference room, he looked at the solemn expressions of these battalion commanders, but said with a smile: "What's wrong?" All with such serious expressions? Is it the recent long march that has made you feel bored? ”

Perhaps it was He Zhengdao's smile that gave these battalion commanders confidence, and everyone quickly sat down quietly under Yao Shengjun's greeting. They knew that this division commander might have a way to solve the biggest crisis facing independence at the moment.

As the meeting began, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Before the meeting, tell the comrades the good news, our main force has successfully advanced from Panxian to Yunnan. With the strength of the Yunnan army, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop our main force from fighting in Yunnan.

Of course, I also know the worries of my comrades at the moment, and I feel that we are under siege, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to join the main force. However, all the comrades present here today should know how far our independent regiment had traveled before it joined the main force.

At present, we are strong and strong, and there is no shortage of weapons, ammunition, and materials, which is obviously much better than the situation when we moved to Hunan, Guizhou, and Guizhou. With so much strength, do we need to worry about being afraid? ”

After saying such words, these were the battalion commanders who followed He Zhengdao all the way to fight, and they also felt that these words seemed reasonable. They were able to break through the enemy's encirclement in the first place, so why not this time?

Seeing that the battalion commanders began to quiet down, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "I think that back then, when Commissar Mao and Mr. Zhu met in Jinggang Mountain, our troops at that time were not much more than those of the independent division.

At present, although the main force has been transferred in advance, then our independent division will fight a good anti-encirclement campaign in this enemy's encirclement. I also want to see how much the Central Army is willing to invest to encircle and suppress us.

Now around the independent division, five divisions of the Central Army and two divisions of the Gui Army are assembled. Under the three-way encirclement, we seem to have no hope of breaking through. And what about the reality? But they have reserved for us the best battlefield against encirclement and suppression. ”

Signaling Wang Tianlin to hang up the military map, He Zhengdao pointed to the main force of the Red Army, and continued in Qianxi, which passed by some time ago: "At present, the three-way encirclement and suppression army seems to have an intention to drive our independent division into the territory of Qianxi.

For this place, I believe many comrades know that this is the poorest place in Guizhou. If our army enters this area to fight, I am afraid that there will be problems with the supply of materials. But in reality, they made a fatal mistake.

Where did our supplies and supplies come from? As long as they still want to encircle us, then we will definitely not lack supplies. If they don't chase after them, we will have enough supplies to enter Yunnan from Qianxi.

I have decided that starting tomorrow, the Independent Division will advance into Qianxi and fight a good battle with the Central Army that is biting us in Shuicheng. Moreover, starting tomorrow, all regiments of the division, except for the logistics brigade, will have corresponding combat missions.

I want to play a big game of chess in Qianxi and let the Central Army know that if they want to encircle and annihilate our independent division, they must also have a good tooth. I have chosen a simple name for this military operation, the anti-encirclement and suppression operation in Qianxi, what do you think? ”

After talking about the overall operational plan of the independent division for the next step, He Zhengdao said again: "The first to fourth regiments, each from the new regiment tomorrow, will supplement one battalion of recruits. In this way, the strength of your four regiments can reach 3,000 people.

Even if you encounter a main division of the Central Army, with the weapons of our independent division, I believe you will have the strength to fight. The new regiment acted together with the logistics brigade, obeyed the command of the political commissar, and acted as the first route army to advance into Qianxi.

According to the current enemy situation, the enemy's 99th Division is the closest distance to us. Tomorrow, after the political commissar and they set out, we will beat this central division outside Guanling City, and let him know that the consequences of being too close to the independent division will be serious.

After fighting this battle, I believe that the Central Army, which has been biting us to the death, will be clear-headed. This battle was personally commanded by me and the Chief of Staff. Artillery battalion, after this battle, all the mountain artillery was buried on the spot, and I am afraid that it will not be used in the future! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Although he heard this order, Zhu Definition still felt a little reluctant in his heart. But he knew that carrying these mountain guns on the road did slow down the marching speed of the troops. And then turn to the war, I'm afraid that the mountain artillery will not be used.

After the combat order was issued, He Zhengdao said with a serious expression: "Comrades, I know that the current situation is very unfavorable to our independent division, and it is normal for soldiers to be afraid.

But you are all commanders of the Red Army battalion and regimental level, and at all times, you are the courage of the soldiers. Even if the sky falls, you must remain calm. Only when you keep calm at all times will the soldiers not panic and the morale of the soldiers will not be chaotic.

Compared with the bloody battle all the way from the Soviet area to this point, we have crossed the most dangerous and difficult hurdles. What is there to worry about in the current situation? Isn't it just war? What's so scary?

Next time, if I hear or see it again, which of you has the fear and worry on my face that only a girl can have, don't blame me for not being emotional. My independent division, don't coward the officers, have you heard clearly? ”

'Clear, Commander! ’

Looking at He Zhengdao, who was about to roar, the battalion commander, who was worried before, also felt that his face was hot. Perhaps it was the smooth sailing of the road that made them forget the current situation of the Red Army. When, isn't it full of dangers?

The battalion commanders replied loudly, which made He Zhengdao slightly satisfied: "After you go down, tell those company platoon commanders." If you feel cowardly, let me go to the cooking class to carry the cauldron, and Lao Tzu's team should not coax the commander.

And those who will join later, you must also tell them. There is only one choice in front of them, and that is to follow us. Don't leave anything to chance, get caught or captured by the Central Army, they have only one way to die.

Only when we have an independent division, and the whole division is twisted into a rope, can we be invincible. If you are cowardly before you fight, I don't need to say much about the consequences, I believe you all know it in your hearts. And this truth must be explained clearly to the soldiers, understand? ”

Confidence does not necessarily lead to success, and if you don't have confidence, you are doomed to not succeed. And at this moment, He Zhengdao just wants to tell the officers and soldiers of the whole division. In this battle, even if the whole army is annihilated, it must be fought to the death!
