According to the course of history, the main force of the Red Army, which has entered the Kangding area at this moment, will also start the first arduous operation of crossing the Jiajin Mountain in the Long March. But the Red Army at this moment is undoubtedly much easier than in history.

The Central Red Army, which had a total strength of nearly 70,000 troops, naturally did not need to temporarily avoid the front in the face of the encirclement and suppression troops stationed around Kangding. It can even be said that these troops, who were ordered to encircle the Red Army, should be careful of the Red Army's attack.

According to the plan set at the previous meeting, the main force of the Red Front Army will continue to advance through the territory of Danba and march towards the Aba area, so as to join forces with the Red Fourth Front Army, which is also fighting in the Aba area.

As for the expanded independent column, it still plays the role of a rearguard. Finish for the main force, and at the same time make a feint in the direction of Chengdu. Distract the attention of the encirclement and suppression army and create conditions for the main force and the Red Fourth Front.

During the three days of the reorganization of the independent division, the 1st Red Army Corps served as the main force and began to become the first main force of the Red Army to open the territory of Kangding. The headquarters also began to move out of Kangding on the third day.

As for the main force of the Red Army, which began to advance towards the Aba area as expected, the Central Army was naturally also ready to fight. The encirclement and suppression troops, which had been hovering on the south bank of the Dadu River, finally began to cross the river and prepare for the pursuit.

The independent column, which had completed its reorganization, also held another military operations conference. Next, the enemy that the independent column had to face was Deng Xihou's 28th Army. For this Sichuan army, He Zhengdao still knows something about it.

Even when the headquarters was evacuated, He Zhengdao went to Mr. Zhu and hoped that he would write a letter of advice to Deng Xihou. It is advised not to fight to the death with the independent column at the appropriate time.

In the early years of the Patriotic War, Mr. Zhu and Liu Bocheng, chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, had friendships. If he can stop fighting, He Zhengdao still hopes for a peaceful resolution of the fighting. And a handwritten letter may come in handy.

Looking at the divisional and brigade-level officers of the column sitting in the conference room, He Zhengdao also said seriously: "Comrades, the headquarters has withdrawn from Kangding, and it will be our turn to be an independent column next."

This time, the task of our column was to cover the main force to the north and make every effort to delay the troops pursuing us. It's just that I don't like to let others chase after me, and I prefer to give the enemy a head-on blow.

According to the report of the reconnaissance detachment of the column, the two Gui Army divisions that had pursued us with the 86th Division earlier have now crossed the Dadu River and will soon be stationed in Luding County. And they are the first pursuers I want to eliminate.

Beginning this evening, I will lead the main forces of the 1st and 2nd Divisions to set up an ambush in the Caiba area as quickly as possible. As for the 3rd Division and the Recruit Brigade, they will advance in the direction of Lushan and Baoxing under the command of the political commissar.

As long as these two Gui army divisions are resolved, I believe that the Dian army, which has not yet crossed the river, and Liu Wenhui's troops, who are afraid of us, will definitely not dare to take a step across the Dadu River. In this way, the only enemy we need to face next is Deng Xihou's 28th Army.

Although the order given to our column by the main force this time was to feint an attack on Chengdu and respond to the main force to join the division of the Red Fourth Front Army. But I think that if there is a chance, maybe the feint attack will turn into a real attack. Today's Chengdu is very empty!

If we can really defeat Chengdu, I believe that it will also be a great shock to the enemy who encircles and suppresses us, and it will also be a great encouragement to our army. Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you must fight every battle.

These days, the troops have all been well-rested, and now it is their turn to contribute. I also hope that the first battle after the formation of the column will be victorious. I also hope that it is not the slogan of the column to dare to fight and win, but to really do what it says. ”

Regarding He Zhengdao's plan to have the opportunity to attack Chengdu, He Zhengdao also reported to them before Mao Taizu and others left. It's a bit difficult, but it's not necessarily a little bit of a chance.

As long as the timing is right, the eyes of the various armies currently encircled and suppressed are focused on the Aba area where the Red First Army and the Red Fourth Front Army are about to meet. This is also aware that the main force set off ahead of schedule and is also diverting attention from the independent column.

After the column reconnaissance group completed the expansion, He Zhengdao sent them out in advance. As the sharp knife vanguard of the column, today's reconnaissance regiment can also be described as strong. The number of targets that can be reconnoitred has also increased a lot.

In addition to carrying out reconnaissance of the enemy's situation in the Huding area, there are also reconnaissance detachments of independent columns in the direction of Lushan and Baoxing. The existence of these squads can also allow independent columns to lock on fighters to a great extent and predict risks.

In the few days of reorganization, the recruit units, which were expanded to the three main divisions, were joined by a number of experienced political cadres and military backbones, and their combat effectiveness and political ideology were enhanced to a certain extent.

As long as he wins a few battles in the future, He Zhengdao also believes that a main division of the independent column will definitely have a competitive combat effectiveness when it encounters a main division of Deng Xihou. This is also the reason why He Zhengdao dared to fight Chengdu's idea.

As the capital of Sichuan, Chengdu's importance to the Sichuan army is self-evident. It's just that now, with the entry of the Central Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army into Sichuan, most of the main forces of the Sichuan Army that used to defend Chengdu have been sent to the front line of encirclement and suppression.

If he acts quickly, He Zhengdao is fully convinced that it is not impossible to conquer Chengdu. But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and He Zhengdao doesn't want to say it too much. But saying it can still make these division and brigade commanders excited.

Although He Zhengdao is clear, it is not easy to attack Chengdu. However, judging from the current situation, the imminent division of the Red Fourth Front Army and the Red First Front Army will also form a strong deterrent to the Sichuan army.

On the evening of the end of the meeting, He Zhengdao led the independent first and second divisions and began to drive out of Kangding City at night. When leaving, political commissar Xiao Jinguang led the other high-ranking columns to see them off.

'Commander, be careful! ’

'Don't worry! Commissar! Compared to me leaving with two main divisions, your task next will not be light! If there is any situation, we will contact the radio station at that time. I hope that your allocation tomorrow will allow the two Gui army divisions to take action. ’

This time, the two divisions commanded by He Zhengdao actually opened the way for the subsequent three divisions and the recruit brigade. The reason for leaving early was also to set up an ambush circle in advance before the third division and the recruit brigade were brought in.

As long as the two Gui divisions follow up, they will inevitably fall into the ambush circle of the first and second divisions. When the time comes, He Zhengdao will gather the strength of the two main divisions to defeat and annihilate these two Gui army divisions, and deter other pursuing soldiers who are preparing to cross the river.

The two main divisions, which had been set aside overnight, took advantage of the moonlight to march rapidly and arrived at the ambush position that the reconnaissance regiment had checked in advance. At dawn, He Zhengdao, who had already arrived at the ambush point, led the two division commanders to inspect the terrain.

Feeling that the location chosen by the reconnaissance regiment was very suitable, He Zhengdao was at the ground headquarters and assigned combat missions to the two division commanders. But during the day, all two main divisions rested in the valley.

In doing so, it is also to maximize their concealment. And in a daytime, the 3rd Independent Division and the Recruit Brigade can't go here. On the marching route, He Zhengdao also explained to Xiao Jinguang to suppress the marching speed as much as possible.

And just like that, at the time when the main forces of the independent division began to rest. The last independent division stationed in Kangding, however, was a bit unexpected and began to advance in the direction of Tianxing. Such a move undoubtedly surprised everyone.

Xue Yue, who was also concerned about the situation on the front line, looked at the combat map hanging on the wall, and said with some solemnity: "What do you say, what idea did the Red Army Independent Division fight this time?" Why, then, did they march in the opposite direction of the main forces of the Red Army? ”

In the face of Xue Yue's inquiry, a staff officer soon said: "Commander-in-chief, according to the information obtained from our front line, the main force of the Red Army is currently beginning to advance towards the Danba area. In that area, we have very few defenses.

The Red Fourth Front Army has now occupied Lixian. If nothing else, their two armies will meet in the Aba area. The move of this independent division may be to cope with the meeting of the two main Red Army! ”

This speculation has also been recognized by many staff officers. But Xue Yue still said: "It shouldn't be that simple!" I believe that the Red Army should know that the Sichuan army has formed an encirclement on the outskirts of Chengdu.

If you want to deal with the two Red Army's meeting at Aba, you will not be able to do this with only one main division of the Red Army. Crashing head-on like this, isn't he afraid that the Sichuan army will encircle and annihilate their independent division? ”

But at this moment, a staff officer whispered: "Commander-in-chief, it is Deng Xihou's 28th Army that is deployed in front of the independent division. As far as I know, Deng Xihou had a close personal relationship with the commander-in-chief and chief of staff of the Red Army in the Patriotic War! ”

For today's Central Army, in addition to their descendants, these warlord forces are worthy of vigilance. This time alone, the Central Army entered Sichuan, and these Sichuan warlords, who were originally infighting, joined together to resist the Central Army's entry into Sichuan.

The 86th Division, the only one to follow, was also surrounded and annihilated by the Independent Division in the Kawasbian area. According to the report of the redeemed Xu Guangyao, the two divisions sent by Liu Wenhui at that time were not his main forces, but two garrison divisions.

The combination of such a situation made Xue Yue also begin to wonder if there was someone in the Sichuan army who had an affair with the Red Army. If this is the case, then their plan to encircle and annihilate the Red Army in Sichuan is afraid that it will be in vain again!
