But there was really not much time left for them, and when all the carpenters of the national capital were gathered in Jiangxi and Fujian, nearly 50,000 people from the three divisions quietly entered Duwan.

Arrived at the same time, as well as two fleets of the Navy! All this did not even attract anyone's attention in the era when there were no radars and no satellites. Jiang Zhongzheng is still in full swing to suppress bandits in Fujian and Jiangxi.

The million-strong army was really strong, and after blocking most of the main roads in the Soviet area, the scope of the rest of the army's activities was greatly reduced. And the wrong concept of positional warfare leads to increasing losses in the absence of heavy weapons!

At the end of September, the Nanjing government conquered Lichuan. Although the Red Army succeeded in preventing the Nanjing government from advancing southwest of Lichuan, its strategic attempt to annihilate the Nanjing government failed.

In early October, the Red 24th Division attacked saltpeter; The Nanjing State Government relied on a strong fortress to defend it, and the Red Army on the East Road was unable to overcome the fortifications for several days and suffered heavy casualties. After seeing the success of his tactics, Jiang Zhongzheng issued an order at the Nanchang camp on October 17, 1933; The principles of tactical defense and strategic offensive were thoroughly implemented in order to bring the fortress strategic concept of the German advisers to the extreme.

On the contrary, the Red leaders still ordered the main forces of the Red Army to penetrate into the dense area of the fortress of the Nanking State Capital to carry out a strong attack and engage in positional warfare. From September 25 to mid-November 1933, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army did not achieve any substantial victory, but instead inflicted heavy losses on the part of the troops, which were completely in a passive position.

In mid-December 1933, the Nanjing government left the blockade line of the pillboxes with the strength of 8 columns and began the second phase of the offensive. The Red Provisional Central Committee will order the Red Army to conduct a strategic decisive battle and continue to attack the well-equipped and well-trained Whampoa Central Army; After the defeat, he was forced to retreat south.

One by one the battle reports were sent to Tu Qianjun, and looking at these battle reports, Tu Qianjun knew that the Japanese would soon make a move. The four have already arrived in the Fujian and Jiangxi regions, and according to their reports, there are indeed many Japanese people moving around!

And some of the news found everywhere also confirmed that the Japanese troops were massing in a large area in Duwan Bay! This is not good news, and the Fujian region is too far away from the three eastern provinces, and even if it is necessary to project troops, it has become impossible.

It has to be said that the position chosen by the Japanese is indeed a dead end for the Wehrmacht. Even if the long way passes, the battle may have ended long ago.

On September 4, the government occupied Xingwei, and on October 6. On October 10, the government occupied Gulonggang, and on October 14, the government occupied the country......

Looking at the battle report of the snowflakes, Tu Qianjun could imagine Jiang Zhongzheng's current ambition! He couldn't help but sigh secretly, later generations have been arguing about one thing: If the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression was not for the command of the three-person regiment, would the red army lose so miserably? !

Of course, many people pointed out that if it were not for the command of the trio, the result would have been the same. And cite a bunch of data to show that Jiang Zhongzheng is well prepared or something. But they couldn't explain why Chise, who had suffered heavy losses and lost its base after the three-man regiment left the command, was able to fight such a battle as the four crossings of Chishui.

The same is the encirclement of warlords from all walks of life, and even the conditions are worse than during the Fifth Encirclement and Suppression, why can it be completed?! That's what they can't explain. It is said that after the rout, the result of any army is basically annihilation.

This army was able to go all the way to the land of Lao Qin, and it was able to form a force again, but how can this be explained?! Of course, you have to say that Red is almost finished at this point, and that's a complete slap in the face.

The Battle of Mountain Castle directly killed more than 1 brigade of the 1st Division, the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, and the 78th Division of the "elite" Central Army. What can I say about that?!

Although Tang Degang still did not reveal the secret of the Xi'an Incident until his death, he had a very detailed commentary on the Xi'an Incident. In it he also had to admit.

"The Xi'an incident is certainly beneficial to the red, but it is not a victim of the Nanjing government and Jiang Zhongzheng himself. Even if there was no Xi'an incident, Jiang Zhongzheng insisted on suppressing the red to the end. However, based on the examples of other countries in the world at that time, the outcome of such a war is difficult to predict. ”

"The rise of red was caused by the historical background of China at that time. Red has the support of the people and has a theoretical basis. Relying only on the military to eliminate the red color is 'tantamount to raising the soup to stop the boiling without seeking to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.'" ”

Now it is an indisputable fact that the situation in the Soviet zone is getting worse and worse. However, Yang Ziren and others were still excluded from the decision-making level, and even though they returned to the Soviet area all the way, they were still not taken seriously.

Although Yang Ziren was anxious, he was helpless about such a situation.

In fact, I want to know what the result of this situation will be, and others have more than 1,000 heavy artillery pieces and more than 200 aircraft. And what about the Soviet districts ?!

The main force of the first army participated in the battle: the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 9th corps, with a total of 86,000 men, 29,016 rifles, 618 machine guns, 38 mortars, 6,101 spears, and more than 20,000 broadswords. Not to mention airplanes. There was not a single heavy artillery.

This kind of strength, but you have to fight positional battles with others. The Nanjing government built its forts with reinforced concrete, while the defensive bunkers in the Soviet zone were made of logs, masonry, and clay. The result of this fight can be imagined.

Therefore, although the battle was heroic, the situation was getting worse and worse. The huge disparity in equipment, tactics, strategy, and forces made this insistence futile.

As later people who studied this period of history said: This is a beggar comparing treasures with the dragon king.

The sound of firecrackers. The New Year of 1934 arrived. This year is extremely proud for Jiang Zhongzheng! As soon as he took office, he broke the blood flow of his confidants.

And for Red, this year is indeed extremely sad. The Soviet zone suffered heavy losses, and the forces of the various units were constantly shrinking. The entire Soviet zone was able to control less than a third of what it was before the war.

Ruijin's gate Guangchang is in jeopardy. Warlords everywhere are ready to make a move when they see that they are profitable! Faced with this situation, the whole red color was worried. The losses in positional warfare made them begin to change their tactics and pick up guerrilla warfare again, which they regarded as "guerrillaism" and "escapism" and dismissed it as "Yang Ziren's trick".

But alas, it was too late. At this time, the Soviet zone no longer had much room for maneuver. The entire situation of the war has been turned in favor of the Nanjing government.

At the beginning of February 1934, the Soviet district convened the "Second Congress of the All-Soviet Union". Yang Ziren's former post of chairman of the People's Committee was finally removed.

It was replaced by Zhang Wentian. In this way, Yang Ziren was deprived of his last substantive position, and he became a completely false "chairman".

On February 13, the annual Spring Festival is coming again. Without the child by his side, Yang Ziren looked a little stunned. Looking at Huo Diange and the others beside him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's that you have to suffer with me, if you live a good life in Manchuria now, right?!" At least the pork stew vermicelli is indispensable......"

Originally, Huo Diange and others escorted Yang Ziren to the Soviet area. It's time to leave. But the strange thing is that Huo Diange and the others stayed by Yang Ziren's side, saying that they were ordered to protect Yang Ziren and the others. And explain that this is the opinion of the tiger.

Looking at the supplies, ammunition and medicines sent by the tiger, although Qin Xiantie and the others were extremely reluctant, they still acquiesced to Huo Diange as Yang Ziren's guards.

"Sir, the Commander-in-Chief told us that we had to protect you before we came." Huo Diange grinned and said to Yang Ziren: "The commander-in-chief said that you and several gentlemen are all great talents!" I will definitely contribute to the country in the future, so I must protect ......."

Yang Ziren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Huo Diange with a wry smile: "Where am I a great talent?!" You should be able to see the current situation clearly. I've been ostracized from all of us......"

Huo Diange smiled and said to Yang Ziren: "Sir, people's encounters are not clear. I also worked as a guard and martial arts teacher for the deposed emperor Puyi at that time! Aren't you a Wehrmacht soldier now?! What an opportunity! It's hard to say! ”

"Oh?! You actually worked as a guard for Pu Yi?! Can you elaborate on that?! Yang Ziren asked Huo Diange with great interest, Huo Diange smiled and told him about his transfer to Manchuria in Jinmen and his ascension to Pu Yi's guard.

He didn't even hide that he was ransomed and released by Tu Qianjun later, and Yang Ziren couldn't help but sigh after listening to it. Then he said to Huo Diange: "Then why didn't you join the National Defense Force at that time?!" It stands to reason that it was the best time. ”

Huo Diange couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, and said to Yang Ziren: "Me! At that time, I was still thinking that I had served as a general of the Feng department, and I was reserved! I want to wait for the commander-in-chief to invite me, so I can save face! ”

"As a result, the commander-in-chief did not come. But my son joined the Wehrmacht before me. Saying that, Huo Diange couldn't help but smile and said to Yang Ziren: "But! He basically didn't tell me about things in the army, saying that there were secrecy regulations! This kid ......"

Yang Ziren couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Huo Diange say this! He didn't know that the Wehrmacht still had a secrecy policy. If there are confidentiality regulations, then it means that the army that Huo Diange's son joined is indeed very mysterious.

"Instead, he gave me two military merit medals, one of which is the first-class merit of the Wehrmacht! One is second-class merit! Huo Diange looked proud, and said to Yang Ziren: "This baby is angry!" In the year 32, when the flood was great, he went into battle! Saved three babies and an old man! Earn face for our old Huo family! It's really a shame! ”

Yang Ziren also knew about the big water, and when he heard Huo Diange say this, he couldn't help but be silent. In fact, he sensed early on that the Wehrmacht was very different from other warlord forces of this era.

From military appearance, temperament and that kind of self-confidence from the heart!

"Lao Huo, tell me more about the National Defense Army!" Yang Ziren stretched out his legs and said to Huo Diange: "This doesn't violate your confidentiality regulations, right?!" ”

Huo Diange laughed and said to Yang Ziren: "There's nothing you can't say." Basically, if you go to Manchuria to inquire about the affairs of our national defense forces, you will know! There's nothing that can't be said, and now many comrades-in-arms are professionally in place. You're helping with local development......

As he spoke, Huo Diange told Yang Ziren everything he knew about the current situation in Manchuria. It includes the strategy of transferring military cadres to cadres implemented by the National Defense Force, the discipline of military training after the evaluation of civil servants, and military training in universities...... And so on and so forth.

There is also the newly established School of Political Science and Law of the three eastern provinces, which was sent to various places for grassroots internships during the summer vacation, and college students set up volunteers to teach in various places...... And so on, these things that Yang Ziren did not understand or were not very clear about during the investigation.

And Yang Ziren listened, and gradually became excited! He no longer has a lonely look on his face. Instead, he turned around and returned to the room, took out a pen and paper, and recorded what Huo Diange said one by one.

In his view, all these are of great reference significance for the work of the party and the masses. However, after all, Huo Diange has spent a lot in the army, and he can't fully explain local things.

The two kept talking about the willows on the moon, and at Wen Yun's urging, they ended the conversation with a smile. During this period of time, although Huo Diange and Yang Ziren got along day and night, it was the first time that Huo Diange had said so many things to Yang Ziren.

And after returning to Yang Ziren's yard. The members of the "Mountain Guarding Dog" formation who came with Huo Diange brought a few canned beef. It was sent from everywhere as their stipend.

I have to say that the work in the three eastern provinces is doing an excellent job in all four places. It basically spread to the whole country. And the training here and there has always been mysterious. Not many people even know about it in the entire institution.

But their power is great! From Coulomb to Xiangjiang, there is no place without people everywhere. At the slightest hint of the slightest disturbance, a complete report was handed over to the Wehrmacht Command.

And the only person directly responsible for the entire four places is the headquarters of the Wehrmacht, which is directly responsible to Tu Qianjun himself. However, they do not have the right to enforce force, they only have the right to gather intelligence and analysis.

The five divisions are directly responsible for the use of force, but rarely act. Unless it's to cooperate with the four places, basically the five places have been dormant. Inside the Wehrmacht, five places are more mysterious than four.

Huo Diange smiled and opened the canned beef. Facing Yang Ziren, he said, "Sir! Come and try our newly made canned beef! This hasn't been allotted yet, so let's try it! This is yak meat from our Qinghai area! It's very rare! ”

Huo Diange is right, since the national defense forces occupied Qinghai, Gansu and other areas, they began to seek local economic development. As the main feature of the yak is naturally preferred, the muscle fiber of yak meat is thicker than that of cattle, but more fragrant than yellow beef, with high protein content and less fat.

Moreover, yaks have been domesticated as domestic animals for a long time on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the military cadres who went to work in Qinghai immediately discovered this point! It was then put to good use, and now yak meat is also popular throughout the three eastern provinces.

Yak meat and Mongolian beef have become a favorite dish of every family in the three eastern provinces. Compared to Mongolia, which has built a railway, Qinghai does not have a railway, so the inconvenience of transportation has also become the reason why yak is more expensive than Mongolian beef.

The reason why the Wehrmacht wanted to use yak meat to experiment with canned military beef was largely for the sake of the resistance of the soldiers in wartime.

Yak meat is rich in protein and amino acids. As well as trace elements such as carotene, calcium, phosphorus, etc., the fat content is particularly low, and the calories are particularly high, which have a significant effect on enhancing the body's disease resistance, cell vitality and organ function. And the yak meat is indeed very delicious, "Lü's Spring and Autumn" contains "the beauty of meat, the meat of the yak".

Huo Diange opened the canned beef, heated it up on a bonfire, and suddenly the whole yard was fragrant! A rich fragrance that is mouth-watering! Several members of the mountain guard dog standing guard at the door sniffed involuntarily.

During this time, life in the Soviet area was not without bitterness, and compared with the big fish and meat in Manchuria, life here was worse than Qing hardship. Thankfully, these mountain dogs have all experienced harder days than this in training. So it's not too difficult.

But all of a sudden, supplies were sent from all over the country, and these mountain guards naturally burst into tears! Our commander-in-chief fortunately didn't forget about us! During the time they've been here, they've almost forgotten what the meat tastes like.

Taking advantage of the heat, Huo Diange picked out a few large pieces of yak meat from the canned food and put them in Yang Ziren and Wen Yun's bowls. Wen Yun was a little embarrassed and said to Huo Diange: "You guys eat too!" Let the warriors come in and eat! ”

Huo Diange laughed and said to the two couples, "We all have them." You've had a hard time! Eat more tonics, we are all rough people! I'm used to coarse tea and light rice! All right! All right! ”

These words were very rough, but they warmed the hearts of Yang Ziren and Wen Yun. The cold reception in the Soviet zone made their hearts cold, but the warmth from distant Manchuria also warmed their hearts.

These simple soldiers followed them all the way to the Soviet area, and lived a life of lack of food and clothing, which was completely different from that of Manchuria. Even because of them. These fighters are not less discriminated against.

If it weren't for their status as a member of the Defence Force, they might have been harassed. But none of them left, and still insisted on carrying out the orders of their commander-in-chief, protecting them and their husbands.

"Sir, tell me the truth, don't be surprised!" Putting a few pieces of yak meat into Yang Ziren's bowl, Huo Diange lowered his head and said to Yang Ziren. Seeing that Huo Diange was so solemn, Yang Ziren couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Huo Diange: "You say! ”

"I look at your current situation, this can't be fought anymore! Withdrawal is for sure! Huo Diange looked at Yang Ziren and said in a deep voice: "Mr. should prepare as soon as possible, our brothers will protect Mr." It's really not possible, and showing the identity of our national defense force can also protect Mr. ”

"If it really doesn't work, Sir will go to Manchuria with us! Keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! Huo Diange met Yang Ziren's gaze and said calmly: "I think those people are blind commands!" The incompetent generals of the three armies are exhausted, but the gentleman can't follow them to toss ......" (to be continued)
