When the independent division successfully defeated the 103rd Division that came to help, the garrison of the Guizhou Army guarding Xifeng City. With the reconnaissance company that infiltrated in, it soon fell into a rout, and finally had to open the city gates and surrender to a regiment outside the city.

Seeing the city gate open, Zhang Cheng also said excitedly: "Okay! It was done, and ordered the troops to enter the city as fast as possible and take over the garrison warehouses and barracks in the city. In addition, a notice was posted to ensure that no ruffians were allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

The three battalion commanders, who were only responsible for the feint, were also very happy to be able to successfully take Xifeng City. The most important thing is that there are not many dead people in such battles. It was a complete victory, so to speak!

A group of main forces rushed out of the city one after another, and soon the situation in the city was brought under control. It's just that as Zhang Cheng entered the city, many people said in surprise: "Isn't that Captain Liu?" How did he put on the uniform of the Red Army again? ”

Zhang Cheng, who had been stationed in Xifeng for a period of time, had some dealings with the gentry in the city because he pretended to be the commander of the 704th Regiment of the Central Army. The gentry who recognized him now immediately felt very puzzled.

According to the information they received, wasn't the 704th Regiment completely annihilated by the Red Army? So is the commander of the Red Army in front of him the same person as the commander of the Central Army who was stationed in Xifeng before? Or in this world, there are really such similar people.

When he successfully took over the barracks and warehouse, Zhang Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the guards beside him: "Send a telegram to the division headquarters, and say that we have successfully taken Xifeng City." Please, what's next! ”

A regiment, also equipped with a radio station, soon sent telegrams to the separate divisions. He Zhengdao, who received the telegram, was also surprised: "This guy, didn't he let him feint?" Why, you captured Xifeng City? ”

Wang Tianlin, who heard the inquiry, smiled and said, "The one guarding Xifeng is a local garrison regiment of the Guizhou Army. You should know what the qualities of those soldiers are. I have asked before, and the casualties of a regiment to take Xifeng are very small. ”

'Okay, then order a regiment, take control of Xifeng City, and wait to join the main force of the division. At the same time, the reconnaissance company was ordered to continue its reconnaissance. Search the territory of Guiyang, the deployment of the troops of the Guizhou army.

Also, the news that the 103rd Division was defeated and the division commander He Zhizhong led the remnants to break through was sent to the headquarters. In addition, the 2nd and 3rd regiments and the logistics regiment were ordered to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and strive to join the 1st regiment before dark. ’

'Yes, Commander! ’

As Wang Tianlin went to give these orders, he looked at the battle damage reports that came in one after another. Nearly 100 people were killed, and more than 200 people were seriously injured, He Zhengdao still felt a little distressed.

It's just that he knows that compared to their record of killing nearly 3,000 and capturing nearly 4,000. This loss of the independent division is only afraid that it will be a big victory in the eyes of many people! Thinking of this, He Zhengdao also felt that his heart didn't seem to be hard enough!

One will be a success! It seems that he is still some way from becoming a qualified military command general!

'Order the logistics regiment to send the lightly and seriously wounded to Xifeng City for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, pack up the bodies of each of the sacrificed officers and soldiers, and when you arrive in Xifeng City, find a place to bury them! ’

'Yes, Commander! ’

The correspondent who heard this order seemed to know that the last thing He Zhengdao liked to see was that his troops had casualties. But the problem is that it is simply impossible to achieve such a big victory and not die.

When the independent division cleaned up the battlefield and began to prepare to continue to advance towards Xifeng, He Zhizhong, who had escaped, looked at his subordinates who collapsed to the ground, and also had the urge to cry. He knew that his military career was coming to an end.

But he asked, "How many escaped?" ”

'Reporter, I've already sent someone to make the statistics. However, there should have been only more than 1,000 people from the three regiments who escaped with us. There will be a few more in the future, but I'm afraid there won't be too many. ’

The 103rd Division, which had more than 9,000 people, came out of the new drum field, and now it is almost completely wiped out. Such a fiasco made He Zhizhong really feel that his fate would not be too good.

Compared with the officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, who were still resting in Moutai Town, listened to Zhou Enlai's shouting laughter before he entered the house: "Old Mao, the independent division is a good news!" What a victory! The 103rd Division was disabled by him! ”

As the commanders of the Red Army, what Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu like to hear most is undoubtedly the word 'good news'. Zhou Enlai, who was also happy, said a few words of 'good' when he received a telegram from the independent division.

Mao Taizu, who received the telegram, looked at the telegram sent by the independent division, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad! With such a small casualty, such a big victory is indeed a big victory. This kid seems to be a bit of a command! ”

Mr. Zhu, who heard this, also smiled and said, "Lao Mao, are you too strict with Xiao He?" Although the independent division had the advantage of ambushes, in terms of troops, he did not have an advantage at all.

In such a situation, he still got such a big victory, you should perform well. It's just a pity that this He Zhizhong escaped. However, when he returns to the new drumming field, he will probably vomit blood! ”

Now the Red Ninth Army, which is attacking the new drum field, although it has not completely wiped out the Guizhou army in the new drum field. It's just that judging by the current situation, victory is a matter of time. In this way, the main force of the Red Army entered Qianxi, which can be described as a flat river!

At this time, Zhou Enlai also said in a timely manner: "Lao Mao, according to the telegram we intercepted, the Sun Du Department of the Dian Army has already marched in the direction of Guiyang. It seems that Lao Jiang is really worried that the nest will not be protected, so let the Dian army rush to escort him! ”

'Oh! How many people came? ’

'About the strength of a division!' ’

After listening to the latest information provided by Zhou Enlai, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu also began to analyze the combat map. Looking at the flag of the standard Sun Dubu, Mao Taizu also nodded and said, "It seems that the passage into Yunnan has also been opened." ”

'Yes! However, we still have to hurry up and enter Yunnan before they react. Otherwise, if we really let the Yunnan army block us on the Yunnan-Guizhou border, we will also be in trouble when the main force of the Central Army under the command of Zhou Hunyuan comes back to help. ’

When ordering the independent division to serve as the main force, Mao Taizu's strategic intention was to transfer the Dian army. Now that this strategic intention has been realized, what the main forces of the Red Army have to do is to move as quickly as possible.

In the evening, the telegram of the Red Ninth Army came from the new field of drumming, and Mao Taizu immediately ordered the Red First Army to serve as the main vanguard and begin to march to the Yunnan-Guizhou border. The rest of the main forces of the Red Army also began to set off overnight.

There was no need to fight, and the Red Army soldiers, who were well supplied with supplies, did not feel any hardship for this kind of night march. Compared with some time ago, while fighting and rushing, the situation is undoubtedly much better now.

The telegram from Sun Dubu's aid to Guiyang was also forwarded by the headquarters to the Independent Division. Seeing this situation, He Zhengdao, who had just arrived in Xifeng City, immediately called a meeting of the battalion commander to discuss the next battle plan of the independent division.

Knowing that next, the independent division had to compete for time with Sun Dubu, who came to help, He Zhengdao quickly calmed down the battle plan to coerce Guiyang and ambush Sun Dubu. Because, the newly formed 102nd Division around Guiyang has already been stationed in Guiyang City.

Seeing Chairman Jiang trying to defend Guiyang City, He Zhengdao was also happy. After all, he never thought that he would really enter Guiyang City and capture Chairman Jiang alive. Now Chairman Chiang's dispatch of troops has given him a chance.

The main force of the 3rd Regiment of the Independent Division, which had rested for a few quarters in Xifeng City, began to advance along the Xifeng line and quickly advance in the direction of Guiyang. And He Zhengdao led the logistics regiment to advance towards Guiyang unimpeded.

For a time, the entire territory of Guiyang became a rumor, and many people who paid attention to this war felt that Chairman Chiang, who came to Guiyang to supervise the war, was afraid that he never dreamed that the Red Army would be able to fight in Guiyang!

In this case, it seems that the eyes of the whole country are focused on Guiyang. On the other hand, the main force of the Red Army, which entered Qianxi and moved forward in a low-key manner, seemed to have been forgotten.

And Sun Du, who accepted the order to rush to help, received several reminder telegrams a day. But for Sun Du, unless he can fly. Otherwise, the Yunnan army division led by him will take three days at the fastest to drive away the territory of Guiyang!

Looking at the news that kept coming, Chairman Jiang, who was sitting in Guiyang, actually seemed a little nervous. But he knew that as long as Guiyang City was not broken, he would be safe. Just for safety, the airport was controlled by his battalion of guards.

Once the Red Army really attacked Guiyang City, even if he didn't want to lose face, he would be better than those who might lose his life in Guiyang. The next thing to see is whether the main force of the Red Army can really take down Guiyang.

At least in the eyes of many who followed the war, if the Red Army had taken Guiyang, it would have won only some honorary victories. On the contrary, in that case, the main forces of the Red Army would face a counterattack by the army that came back to encircle and suppress it.

But before the mystery is revealed, what this battle will turn into, I'm afraid no one can predict!
