"Retreat? Lao Yuzi hasn't seen the main force of the Red Bandit Army yet, so it's a joke to retreat like this. Listening to Ma Pei's retreat, Bai Fengxiang felt very ridiculous, originally he thought that the three horses in the northwest were brave and good at fighting, but now it seems that this is just the case, he was only defeated twice, and he even thought about escaping.

Although Guo Xipeng on the side also suffered a lot of losses on the right flank, he didn't think that now that the three armies met, the Red Bandit Army could still defeat them, so he also said: "Commander Ma is worried, the Red Bandit Army is now fighting back to the death, and we are too careless, so we will be ambushed by the Red Bandit Army." Now that our three armies have converged, our superiority in strength far exceeds that of the Red Bandit Army, and it is a great opportunity to destroy the Red Bandit Army in one fell swoop. ”

Seeing that the two had no intention of retreating, Ma Peiqing did not dare to retreat alone, if the two defeated the Red Bandit Army, it would be good to say, if the third and sixth divisions were defeated, the two would definitely put the responsibility for the defeat on him. Therefore, the two did not agree to retreat, and he did not dare to leave alone, so he had no choice but to continue as a left wing, but he made up his mind to turn around and flee as long as there was the slightest mistake.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and when they were about to return to their respective troops, there were suddenly a series of artillery sounds around them, Ma Peiqing was so frightened that he sat on the ground, thinking that he was done, Guo Xipeng was secretly bad, and the chasing soldiers caught up, but Bai Fengxiang was calm and calm, and ordered the communication soldiers to go up to see what was going on.

Not long after the communication soldiers around him left, another communication soldier from the front line arrived, and when he saw Bai Fengxiang, he reported: "Report to the division commander, the advance regiment encountered the Red Bandit Army on the front line of Zongqi blocking to Penggoumen in Saichuan, Xuning, and is currently in a fierce exchange of fire. ”

Hearing that the advance group had exchanged fire with the Red Bandit Army, Bai Fengxiang immediately ordered someone to open the map, and after finding Ning Saichuan on the map, he wanted to send another regiment around the flank of the Red Bandit Army to attack, but before the order was issued, another communication soldier ran over to report, but it was not his communication soldier, but Guo Xipeng's subordinates.

Seeing his subordinates, Guo Xipeng asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the pursuers have already arrived?" ”

"Yes, division commander, not long ago, the Red Bandit Army following our department has caught up with the rear troops of our department in the back, and at present, Commander Zhang is trying to find a way to get rid of the entanglement."

After getting the confirmation, the angry Guo Xipeng couldn't help but drop the hat in his hand on the ground, and scolded when he opened his mouth: "Is this group of red bandit soldiers a heavenly general, Lao Xizi's four-legged ones were not only chased by them on two legs, but also Тmd was caught up." ”

Seeing that Guo Xipeng was angry, Bai Fengxiang, who was also in the Northeast Army, had to comfort him a few words, but before the two could say a few words, they saw Ma Peiqing's correspondent rushing over in a panic.

First Bai Fengxiang and then Guo Xipeng, one after another bad news came, Ma Peiqing could already imagine what the situation was, but he still couldn't help but ask his subordinates who rushed over and said, "Erwa, is it that the Red Bandit Army has caught up." ”

The correspondent Erwa rushed all the way, and when she saw Ma Peiqing, she was already out of breath, and she slowed down for a while before saying: "Regiment commander, the Red Bandit Army has caught up, and the deputy regiment commander is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it, so let me ask you to go back and preside over the overall situation." ”

Although Ma Peiqing was already mentally prepared, he still took a breath of cold air after getting the confirmation, and the deputy head of the regiment asked him to go back to preside over the overall situation, and it seemed that he was ready to slip away. However, before leaving, he was still ready to do some face-to-face work, and said to Bai Fengxiang and Guo Xipeng: "Division Commander Bai, Division Commander Guo, the Red Bandit Army is attacking on three sides, presumably the strength is insufficient, it seems to be fierce, but in fact, it is strong and middle-class, and now our three armies will be together, and the superior strength far exceeds the Red Bandit Army, it is a good time to fight with the Red Bandit Army." Earlier, I was worried that the Red Bandit Army would concentrate its superior forces to attack one of the three of us alone, but now seeing the Red Bandit Army attacking from three sides is completely an act of seeking death. Please rest assured that our regiment will definitely kill the Red Bandit Army on the left flank, and now that the military situation is urgent, the younger brother will leave first. ”

When Ma Peiqing left, Guo Xipeng said to Bai Fengxiang: "Brother Fengxiang, will Ma Peiqing really help us block the Red Bandit Army on the left flank?" Will he want to slip away? ”

"Brother Xipeng has filtered, Ma Peiqing and we are not subordinate to each other, if he really wants to slip away, what can we do with him. At this time, the Red Bandit Army has run out of oil and lamps, and it is the best time for us to make meritorious contributions. Listening to the gunshots in the distance, Bai Fengxiang still said calmly.

"It's just ......" Guo Xipeng didn't know what happened to Bai Fengxiang in the center, but he was indeed defeated on the right flank, and the current Red Bandit Army was different from the intelligence in terms of equipment and uniforms.

Bai Fengxiang knew what Guo Xipeng was going to say, he would not believe that the Red Bandit Army could defeat him, and the last thing he wanted to hear at this time was something that would affect the morale of the army, so he interrupted Guo Xipeng and said: "Brother Xipeng, the military situation is urgent, I won't say much else, the right wing still needs your full support." ”

Guo Xipeng saw that it was useless to say more, so he said goodbye and turned to leave. After Guo Xipeng was far away, Bai Fengxiang returned to the map, and after checking for a while, he decided to send a group around Ningsaichuan to sneak attack.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of October 21, 1935, with the first gunshot, the last battle of the Long March began. The Central Red Army, which had absolute superiority in firepower, surrounded the cavalry regiment of the 35th Division, two cavalry regiments of the 3rd Division, and three cavalry regiments of the 6th Division of the White Bandit Army in Zongqi at Ningsaichuan and blocked the line of Penggoumen.

At the beginning of the battle, Bai Fengxiang's Sixth Division Advance Regiment met the ** Third Column, and after a fierce two-hour battle, the Advance Regiment was completely defeated by the Third Column. In the middle of the way, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the enemy's 6th Division attempted to launch a sneak attack on the flank of the 3rd Column, but was ambushed by the 4th Brigade of the 3rd Column, which was ambushed near Penggoumen, and the enemy's 2nd Cavalry Regiment was forced to retreat.

At the same time, the first and second columns on the left and right flanks were also exchanging fire with Ma Peiqing's regiment and Guo Xipeng's third division. After the commander of Ma Peiqing's regiment rushed back to the regiment headquarters, he wanted to lead his troops to break through, but although he broke through the encirclement of a column, he was intercepted by the cadres who arrived later.

The officers and men of the Fifth Company of the Pioneer of the Cadre Regiment were all automatic rifles, and they immediately inflicted great casualties on Ma Peiqing's regiment, which wanted to escape, and the enemy regiment commander Ma Peiqing saw that there was no hope of escaping, so he immediately gathered his forces and moved closer to Bai Fengxiang's department in the center.

The third division of Guo Xipeng on the right flank had more troops, although it was losing and retreating, but it was also temporarily in a state of stalemate with the second column, but as the campaign advanced, Guo Xipeng gradually appeared in a state of insupport, and there were loopholes in many defensive lines, causing the Red Bandit Army to break into the position many times.

The battle situation became more and more unfavorable, and Guo Xipeng couldn't help but have the idea of escaping, thinking that he was under so much pressure here, presumably Ma Peiqing had successfully escaped, and the Red Bandit Army transferred the excess troops to him.

When Guo Xipeng was about to slip away, Bai Fengxiang had already run ahead of time with the last regiment, and since he heard that the second regiment was ambushed and the advance regiment did not see any effect, Bai Fengxiang felt that something was wrong. Maybe what Ma Peiqing said was right, he should retreat as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to be buried here sooner or later, the Red Bandit Army in front of him is really weird.

Feeling the danger, Bai Fengxiang turned around and fled, but he didn't escape twenty miles, and ran into the cadre group responsible for closing his pockets. When he personally saw the powerful firepower network of the cadre regiment, he understood why Ma Peiqing wanted to retreat. Where is the Red Bandit Army, the firepower is more fierce than their Northeast Army, Bai Fengxiang thought that even the Japanese Kwantung Army did not have such strong firepower, is this still a squadron, it can't be that the Red Bandits have received assistance from the Soviet Union.

Shocked to shocked, when life and death were at stake, Bai Fengxiang was still a little bloody, and led his cavalry to rush out of the encirclement by relying on the assault force of the cavalry, but in order to fight against the cavalry this time, Cheng Zhigeng followed Li Keji's advice and was very equipped with a lot of machine guns and Chong Yu Feng guns, and the bullets flew over, and the cavalry with great targets saw them fall off their horses one after another.

In the face of the cadre regiment of fully automatic firearms, Bai Fengxiang had to retreat to his original position after several failed assaults, but Ma Peiqing and Guo Xipeng, who did not want to be separated for a long time in the morning, were also here.

The three of them looked at each other's gray faces, and they all smiled helplessly, and the only way to do this was to ask for help like the chairman of the committee.

As the battle line shrank smaller and smaller, the offensive of the Central Red Army gradually slowed down, and although their goal was to completely annihilate the enemy, they did not kill them all. Now that they are ambushed on all sides, they have successfully surrounded Bai Fengxiang and others in the land of projectiles, and it is no longer meaningful to continue fighting, so the central government wants to persuade them to surrender, after all, a full-scale war between China and Japan is coming soon, and it is better to have one more force than nothing.

Hearing that the central government wanted to persuade the encircled White Bandit Army to surrender, Li Keji naturally agreed very much, and although he did not have much psychological pressure to kill the White Bandit Army, he was still very happy to be able to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Li Keji couldn't help much with the specific matters of persuasion to surrender, but after hearing that there were five regiments in it that were all Northeast Army, he couldn't help but think of a trick.

Although Li Keji has a special status, it is not so simple to meet the Party Central Committee, Xiao Yintang had to transfer the situation to the regiment commander Cheng Zhigeng after hearing that he had important information to inform the Central Committee.

After seeing Li Keji, Cheng Zhigeng was very admired, although he had seen Li Keji's marksmanship, but he never thought that Li Keji was just as brave and fearless on the battlefield, although the specific situation is not known, the general situation Xiao Yintang, the commander of the fifth company, has already informed him.

In the face of Cheng Zhigeng's admiration, Li Keji was very fluttering for a while, but he also knew that now was not the time to celebrate, and now he had to inform the Party Central Committee of his strange moves.

Although Cheng Zhigeng didn't know what information he had, after seeing those new equipment, he already knew the importance of Li Keji, so he ordered someone to send him to the central front finger.

In addition to the commander-in-chief Zhao Wu, Li Keji did not expect to meet the chairman Li Shengshi and other important central leaders, which shows how important this battle is to the Central Red Army.
