Chapter 122: The West Wind Blows

Yungui is particularly hot today, and the local troops in Guizhou have no intention of fighting at all, and even the Central Army, which has been pursuing, has stopped. But the Red forces had no intention of resting and continued their frantic march, knowing full well that if they hesitated, what awaited them was likely to be the end of the day.

With the support of Deng Xixian's troops, the Red Party strengthened its strength and launched a new attack in July after a month's rest, still in Anshun, Guizhou.

After a two-week onslaught, the Red Party troops did their homework in Anshun, and then marched to Zunyi, and the troops guarding along the way could only barely fight the Red Party troops, and then they fell for thousands of miles.

The Red Party did not waste any strength at all, so they used their wisdom to seize Zunyi City. The Zunyi Conference noted in history was held in Zunyi.

At the conference, Director Zhou made several self-criticisms, believing that what he had done in this anti-encirclement campaign was wrong, and at the same time hoped that everyone would hand over military leadership to Mao. There is no momentum for the Maohong Party to perish.

Although Li De and others also made a report, they were not as thorough as Zhou, and they found various reasons to excuse themselves, believing that there were many reasons for this failure, which made many military commanders very disgusted.

Bogu, in particular, vigorously defended his left-leaning ideology and refused to admit his mistakes in this anti-encirclement campaign.

Until Mao stood up, Mao's words were very sharp, Mao stood on the rostrum and asked, "Everyone, now that it is time for life and death, I think we must find out where we are wrong?" What is it that has cost us our foothold? We're so embarrassed about what's going on. ”

In the past, Mao still had great respect for the Bogu people, because the influence of the Comintern on the Red Party was too great, but this was not the case on this Long March, the Comintern could not influence the Red Party at all, and just now Mao heard that the radio station had been broken, that is, he could not contact the Comintern at all.

There is another point, even if the Comintern can get in touch, but on this long long journey, it has no effect, so before this, Mao and Zhang Wentian had a long talk.

This is not the first intimate conversation between Mao and Zhang Wentian, in fact, before the start of the Long March, in front of the stone bench in front of the ancient temple of Yunshan, the two people discussed the fate of the Red Party, and the two of them had the intention of cooperation from that time.

said that Zhang Wentian actually had a very good relationship with Mao for a long time, because Zhang Wentian entered the Soviet area to seize Mao's rights, and he succeeded. However, Zhang Wentian's rights were later taken away by Bogu and others, so the two can be sympathetic to each other.

Moreover, as for the left-leaning ideas of Wang Mingbogu and others, after a period of time, Zhang Wentian already felt that their thinking and line were wrong, but at that time, they had already lost power, so Zhang Wentian had been patient.

This Zunyi meeting, Mao and Zhang Wentian both thought it was a good opportunity, so the two of them had a long talk again. Everyone didn't know what Lu Daomao and Zhang Wentian talked about, but the two were very happy after meeting.

At the meeting. When Mao was analyzing the reasons for the failure of the Red Party, it was all the reason for the Kuomintang at the beginning, what the Kuomintang has become stronger and stronger, and they have changed their political policies and other reasons, but when analyzing the Red Party itself, Mao suddenly pointed the finger at Wang Ming and Bogu and the others, and scolded the two of them for a bloody death, if it weren't for you, how could our Red Party be so embarrassed, and at the moment of life and death, we have to defend our wrong line, which is to lead everyone into death.

Mao gave a speech for more than half an hour, and the mood of the Bogu people was very dull, especially when the news came from the guards that the radio was broken, and the Bogu Li De people realized that they were finished. Since Mao has counterattacked, then it will definitely be a series, like a sea of mountains, this Mao and Liu Yuan are too similar, there is no absolute certainty, they will not fight back easily, but once they counterattack, they will definitely not leave a way to live.

As soon as Mao stepped down, Zhang Wentian walked up, "I think what Mao said is right, for a long time we have been under the leadership of the Comintern, and under the leadership of Comrade Bogu and others, we have taken the wrong path without taking the national conditions, which has led to serious losses for us, and I propose to ban their leadership......

Zhang Wentian's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which deeply pierced the hearts of Bogu and others, coming, coming, really coming, even Zhang Wentian stood with Mao.

At this time, in order to survive, the party committee will definitely stand on Mao's side, and what is even more odious is that after Zhang Wentian, the Ninth Army and the Fourth Army have made speeches against the wrong leadership of the left, which makes Bogu realize that he is really defeated, he is not defeated by Mao, but by himself, maybe Mao has known this result from the beginning.

Bogu lowered his head, very sad, and his mood became extremely dull.

Next, more bigwigs expressed their attitudes, which made them fall to the bottom, Wang Jiaxiang, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi and others supported Mao, which greatly increased Mao's support. Even faster, Zhang Wentian was ready, "The Summary Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Opposing the Five "Encirclement and Suppression" of the Enemy".

Zhang Wentian clearly affirmed Mao's basic principles of military operations in the construction of the previous base areas, especially in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Party, Mao's several military suggestions were correct, completely repudiated the report that Bogu had just made, and put forward that the central task of the Red Party at present was to defeat the enemy forces in Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan, and affirmed Mao Zedong's basic principles on the Red Army's operations, and denied Bogu's summary report on the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, and put forward that China's central task is to defeat the enemy forces in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Establish a new revolutionary base there. If it didn't work, they continued to go north and set up a base in Shaanxi, which shows that the Standing Committee of the Central Committee at that time did not want to go to Shaanxi.

At the same time, Liu Shaoqi proposed to reorganize the leading body of the Central Committee, realizing Mao's dream of becoming a member of the Politburo Standing Committee (Mao's status in the Red Party had always been low, and he had been ostracized until then, unable to join the Politburo. At the same time, the supreme military command of Bogu and Li De was abolished. At the same time, it was suggested that Zhang Wentian should be substituted for Bogu, and at the same time a three-person military team with Wang Jiaxiang, Mao, and Director Zhou cooperating with each other. The Central Standing Committee quickly accepted. This is also a way to do it, because in this case, no one can go any further, and everyone pins their hopes on Mao, who has the ability to open up the world.

"Ha Luha, Runzhi, I'm here to say goodbye." Director Zhou walked to Mao's office with a smile, Mao's face was very pale, and his malaria had not yet recovered, so he began to think about the future of the Red Party, which was too hard.

"What joy do you want me to accept, or not to accept this chore?" Mao said with a wry smile.

"You misunderstood, I won't give you congratulations, I'm saying hello to the fate of our Red Party, how about it, do you want to go there next?" Director Zhou asked Mao cordially, although he was also a member of the three-person military team, he thought that he didn't have the strength to ask for the dilemma.

"Next, I came up with Yungui to take a false shot first and go to Sichuan." Mao nodded on the map and said.

"Liu Yuan, that's a tiger's ass can't be touched, you should have heard of this anti-Japanese war, his tiger troops can be hard to defeat the elite troops of the Japanese. Let's go and touch them, I'm afraid we're going to suffer. Zhou Enlai said worriedly.

"It's okay, Liu Yuan didn't think that we would give them a moment, as long as we enter Sichuan, it will paralyze the troops in Yunnan, then I can take the opportunity to enter Yunnan, as long as we break through the defense line in Yunnan, we can wait for the opportunity to count in Tibet, as long as we enter Tibet, we can enter the northwest, although Liu Yuan has troops in the northwest, but after all, the troops are insufficient, and it is impossible to send so many troops to defend." Mao said confidently.

Listening to Mao's words, Zhou Enlai was very surprised, in his consciousness, Mao and Liu Yuan were very good friends. In the past, when I was working in the national government, as long as I was paid, two people would go to the tavern, and two people would have a plate of braised pork and a pot of old roast to ask the wine to the sky.

This is not counting, when Mao was in the Soviet revolution, Liu Yuan personally sent people to send weapons, and later recommended many excellent generals, among which Wang Erzhuo and Xu Jishen were recommended by Liu Yuan, as for Xie Jinyuan to stay in the Soviet area, he also has a certain relationship with Liu Yuan, and at the same time, Mao's wife has been stationed in Liu Yuan's base camp, and the contact between the two has never been severed, Zhou Enlai did not expect that at this time Mao would do something to Liu Yuan.

"Rundong, you can think about it, Liu Yuan is powerful, if he offends them, if he gets angry and directly sends troops to fight us, I'm afraid we will suffer." Zhou was worried that if Mao didn't do it well, he might directly wipe out the Red Party's forces.

It is not easy to know that the Red Party can have today, and although there are few troops now, they are the essence of the Red Party, as long as the army is expanded, these people will definitely be the backbone of the Red Party's troops, so Zhou is worried that Mao will lose his troops here.

"No, the ancients Yun Binggui made a risk, and there is a saying that if we go directly into Yunnan, it will definitely not be effective, and there are also a large number of central troops stationed there, under the attack of the east and west, we will definitely be very difficult, and Chongqing and Sichuan have been promoted to a strategic height by the Kuomintang, I would like to see how they are doing, it is best to sabotage them, you must know that if there is really a strong rear, it will not only be the Japanese who will be unlucky at that time, and our life will not be easy, I think you know that very well. ”

"What about entering Sichuan? I don't think Liu Yuan is not our opponent. Zhou Enlai asked.

"Of course, with our current strength, we are definitely not the opponent of Southwest Hou, but you forget, Liu Yuan's current status is rarely on the front line, which also gives us the opportunity to compete with their men, I am still confident, if we remember Liu Yuan's bare-handed battle back then." Mao asked Zhou.

"Of course I remember that the four crossings of Chishui are known as a classic textbook-level battle by the whole world, how could I not know the Dao." Director Zhou said suspiciously. "We went into Sichuan, and then we took one or two county seats, and then we sent them a telegram telling them that we had made a mistake. Then he quit the road.

"In this way, Sichuan thinks that we have really made a mistake, and the pursuing troops will not dare to advance rashly because we have entered Sichuan. Then we will fight back and disrupt the vanguard of the Central Army, disrupt their operational plans, and then enter Sichuan again. What we have to do is to disrupt the relationship between the Central Army and the Southwest Army, and then find a gap in it, enter Yunnan, and embark on the road to Tibet. Mao explained his battle plan to Zhou in detail.

After Zhou Enlai listened to it, it was really as whimsical as Liu Yuan's battle plan for commanding the Long March time, but Mao's was more arbitrary.

"However, there is one thing that Rundong has thought about, Liu Yuan will definitely be able to see our combat intentions clearly, aren't you afraid that he will react?" Zhou Enlai continued to ask.

"Our relationship with Liu Yuan is like the relationship between a lackey and a rabbit, the dog is not a very obedient dog, the rabbit is the rabbit that the owner hates to death, if the dog eats the rabbit, then the pursuing central army will immediately kill the dog, this is the end of the bird, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks. Do you really think that Sima Yi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not Zhuge Liang's opponent? That's just that Sima Yi doesn't want to die early, if Liu Yuan wants to continue to be the Marquis of the Southwest, he can't destroy us, on the contrary, he should support us. And my relationship with Liu Yuan, he should see that I want to act in a play with him, and he should cooperate," Mao said without shyness.

Being able to do such thick black is really rare in the world, Director Zhou secretly wondered if it was Chiang Kai-shek's slow strength, which made Mao think that those thick blacks were really the right way.

"Rundong, you should know very well that the more you use this thing, the less you use it, Liu Yuan helped us today, and we owe him more, and there will be a little less favor, how will you face him when the time comes." Zhou Enlai asked, he was Liu Yuan's party representative, and he naturally knew what kind of person Liu Yuan was, so he was very worried.

"If you can pay it back, if you can't afford it, then as long as I have that strength, I will order a million troops to conquer him and destroy him, so naturally I don't have to pay it back." Mao said ruthlessly.

This, Mao's words made Director Zhou stunned, he didn't expect Mao to be so ruthless, but politicians have been like this since ancient times, and Mao is like this to Liu Yuan, so one day he will become a big position, so what should he do? Zhou's thoughts drifted far away at once.

With Mao's guidance in the military, the Red Party was obviously more flexible in its operations, and in this overshoot, there were many outstanding generals who displayed excellent or even perfect military ability, and the command ability of these officers was not at all comparable to that of ordinary officers of those local units and the Central Army.

Among them, there are Peng Dehuai, Peng Laozong's troops, Lin Biao's troops, Xu Jishen's troops, Su Yu's troops (because the form in the south is too difficult, only Chen Yi was left to establish a guerrilla force), Liu Bocheng's troops, Xie Jinyuan's troops, although the number is small, but the combat effectiveness of machine guns is strong, often a regiment can defeat a brigade of the national army, or even a division, so that the Kuomintang troops did not dare to advance at all, it is too strong.

Peng Dehuai is even more amazing, as long as he fancied the city, he didn't say that it would be fought in two days, and as for Xu Jishen's use of troops, he was extremely coquettish, and he got a few points of Liu Yuan's true biography.

When Liu Yuan was in the Whampoa Military Academy, although he did not wait to see Xu Jishen and Wang Erzhuo, he did not have any bias when teaching the ability to command operations.

Especially under the leadership of Mao, it was like a tiger with wings, and Xu Jishen personally commanded two divisions, and successfully annihilated the troops of a division of the Kuomintang by using roundabout and interspersed tactics, which greatly boosted the prestige and made the Kuomintang pursuing troops dare not move forward.

Mao made up his mind to launch an attack on Sichuan, and in less than a week he broke out of the defense line of Guizhou, and captured more than a dozen cities in a row. Therefore, in this breakthrough, the Red Party's troops were like bamboos, and the troops in Guizhou held out for a few days before breaking through the defensive line.

Then the Red Party made a false impression of entering Yunnan, especially Lin Biao led his troops to carry out a frantic attack on the defenders of Yunnan, and almost opened a gap in the defense line of the Central Army in Yunnan several times.

At this time, Liu Yuan received information from the fire phoenix, "The Red Party is plotting to attack Sichuan, please be careful at the headquarters." ”

This news reached Liu Yuan's ears like a bolt from the blue, he didn't expect that at the most critical moment of his own construction, Mao would choose to attack himself.

Could it be that in the face of power, the fate of the country is really so unbearable, he suddenly understood why Li Yuan would let the Turks enter China and hasten the fall of the Sui Dynasty, in the eyes of these politicians, no, hooligans, the interests of the country are a fart. It is not difficult to explain that a large amount of equipment will be pulled away for the Soviet troops to enter the northeast to eliminate the Kwantung Army.

Since the war had not yet begun, Liu Yuan did not want Sichuan to enter a tense state, and he knew that the construction of the road was entering the most tense time, and it must not be interrupted because of the Red Party.

Liu Yuan secretly mobilized troops to prepare to meet the Red Party's troops, you must know that as a man, Liu Yuan never thought that he was afraid of anything, and the principal would fight back when he did it, and he would not be afraid because the Red Party might go to that position in the future, that was not a man's choice, as a man, he would rather die in battle than kneel and survive.

A large number of military generals who were trained in military academies were called by Liu Yuan and questioned one by one. After being questioned by Liu Yuan, many officers were so excited that this was the rhythm of the war.

Sure enough, as expected by the intelligence, the Red Party suddenly shook a shot and took Xuanhan, which happened to be Daxian, and easily defeated the Sichuan troops there. Under Chen Yun's rule, Sichuan was very wealthy, and after taking the two cities, the Red Party tasted the sweetness, so they prepared to continue the attack, while Liu Yuan's troops waited at Wanxian.

Liu Yuan didn't know what Lu Daomao was thinking, it was nothing more than that he didn't expect Deng Xixian to conjure so many troops for him, he wanted to slim down the troops, so many troops wanted the Long March, materials, ammunition, and marching speed were all serious problems, especially the material supply was impossible to achieve, especially the place where he had to go in the future was either poor or Liu Yuan's territory, if he wanted to continue walking, then there was only one way, that is, to slim down the troops, and it was impossible to slim down other troops. Especially the opportunity for the Central Army in the southwest to fight is relatively good, and there is no famous general to command the troops, so it is not Mao's opponent at all, so Mao chose Liu Yuan, he wanted Liu Yuan to operate on his troops.

But Liu Yuan knows very well that if he does this, then the Red Party and the Southwest can be regarded as taking over the enemy, don't look at the Red Party beating others and calling it for Tianxingdao, but if others touch the Red Party, it will be perverse.

"This is not Liu Yuan's biggest concern, he is afraid that Mao will really do something earth-shattering, such as smashing the southwest, then Japan will definitely laugh badly, Halu Ha Chinese civil strife or something, I like it the most."

For this matter, Liu Yuan personally found Yang Kaihui, hoping that Yang Kaihui could help him contact Mao, but Yang Kaihui rejected Liu Yuan.

Because he was very angry about Mao's disclove. He handed the divorce certificate to Liu Yuan and wanted to divorce Mao.

This made Liu Yuan very distressed, and he secretly thought that Mao Weilu couldn't be the same as himself.

Now Sichuan is not comparable to before, Liu Yuan ordered Song Zheyuan and Cai Tingkai to open the front line of the two movements, and at the same time ordered Pan Wenhua of Kaixian County to ignore the small troops of the Red Party, and immediately go to the Bodhisattva Mountain, Tianhao Mountain to assemble, coerce the flank troops of the Red Party, he hoped that Mao could retreat in the face of difficulties, and at the same time ordered He Long's troops to intersperse with the rear of the Red Party, if the Red Party really kept advising and continued to move forward blindly, then he would mind teaching the Red Party a lesson.

Although Cai Tingkai is not a famous general, he is also a good general in the Kuomintang, and he fought fiercely with the Red Party's Third Army in Bodhisattva Mountain for five days, and the battle situation once fell into a stalemate, even Peng Dehuai had to praise Cai Tingkai is really a tiger general under Liu Yuan, but he is confident, as long as he gives himself enough time, he will definitely be able to take Bodhisattva Mountain.

But at this time, the scouts found that Pan Wenhua led two divisions to support, which made Peng Dehuai startled, and the blocking force did not hold on for even half an hour, and the whole army was annihilated.

However, Peng Dehuai, as a famous commander of a generation, would not be defeated like this, so Peng Dehuai immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack and withdraw the troops from Daxian.

Seeing Peng Dehuai withdrawing, Liu Yuan thought that Peng Dehuai would accept it when he saw it, and Liu Yuan didn't care about what he had captured, so he regarded it as a gift to the Red Party going north. But Liu Yuan never thought that when Cai Tingkai and Song Zheyuan were reinforced, Peng Dehuai found that the defense in central Sichuan was empty, quickly seized the fighter, and cooperated with Su Yu to quickly launch the Yinan Campaign, with Su Yu's troops as the main offensive force, from Bazhong to the Yilong area, with Xie Jinyuan's troops east into Jersey, with the Fourth Army as a part, disguised as the main force to attack Guangyuan, confusing the enemy, cooperating with Su Yu's troops to the palace, and sending another step to control Jiangkou and other places, to keep their own retreat.

Liu Yuan didn't really use knives and guns like the Red Party, so it was not the main force at all, especially He Long always thought that Liu Yuan was asking him to go on vacation, He Long didn't think that the Red Party's troops could still have any combat effectiveness after suffering such a big loss.

But it turns out that Liu Yuan is really wrong, most of the defenders in the Yilong area are the troops of Tian Songyao and other warlords, although they have been reorganized, but their combat effectiveness is not strong, and the Red Party has broken several cities in a row, Cai Tingkai and Song Zheyuan did not realize that the troops would be afraid of the Red Party, so they did not pay much attention to it.

Therefore, Peng Shuai's command of the troops this time was unusually smooth, and he took the six county towns mainly in Yilong and Langzhong in ten days, most of which were in the area of the Jialing River, and rumors spread for a while.

What Liu Yuan's reputation for being good at fighting is fake, there is no way to meet the Red Party, and the Red Party soldiers laughed and said that without Yanjing, the soldiers in Sichuan have no strength to fight, let Peng Shuai command us to establish a base in Sichuan.

The Military Committee of the Alliance of Elites of the Strong Country held successive meetings, demanding that Liu Yuan pay attention to the provocations launched by the Red Party against Sichuan, and some generals even demanded that the Red Party be destroyed. Guan Linzheng was even more annoyed and stood in front of Liu Yuan's window and asked Liu Yuan, are you a man.

Liu Yuan hesitated, the key is that his troops are scattered all over the place, and if they do not go too deep, it is impossible to destroy the Red Party, but if they eliminate most of them, it will make the Red Party very taboo themselves, and when Liu Yuan was in power, the Red Party launched an attack again.

Peng Dehuai did not get Mao's instructions, he could not control the killing machine, and launched an attack on the troops in Sichuan again, Peng Dehuai gathered more than 30,000 troops on the front line, launched the Peng'an Campaign, and the troops pointed directly at the Peng'an area, Peng Dehuai was very far-sighted Most of the areas he attacked were not controlled by Liu Xiang in Sichuan before, and most of them were small warlords' management of the troops, although these troops were integrated, but there were no very effective troops stationed, especially the large troops were either stationed in Tibet to prevent the British from gaining Tibet, Either they were stationed in the Qinghai area to protect the oil wells, and a large number of troops were being integrated and trained, so for a while, there were no elite troops to fight against the Red Party.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Peng'an's troops to support Daxian, Peng Dehuai continued to attack, taking the momentum of Mount Tai to the top, regardless of the strength of the opposite side, completely crushing.

The main force of the Fourth Army Corps kept moving closer to the Yilong area, and the 11th Division moved closer to the central and western regions of Ba and launched a strategy of pincer attack on Liu Yuan. As a result, the local Fifth Mixed Brigade responsible for the defense suffered a disastrous defeat, and then quickly attacked Yushan and Dingshan, and then divided the troops into two routes and continued to attack Pengxi and Yingshan.

Peng Dehuai's military operations are indeed unique, adventurous, and good at commanding large corps operations, and he is a super-first-class handsome talent among the red, but his approach really angered Liu Yuan, and also showed Peng Dehuai's political vision, which is still a little worse.

Liu Yuan's authorities thought that the tone was passive, and Peng Dehuai was allowed to move his troops at will, so he adopted the strategy of the white tiger digging out his heart.

Liu Yuan telegraphed Cai Tingkai and Song Zheyuan to lead their troops to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in the Xuanhan area, and the rest of the troops launched an attack on the Pyeongchang area. At the same time, Liu Yuan instructed Song Zheyuan not to show his warrior spirit no matter what, and all units should march in groups, and the interval between the troops should not be too long, so as to prevent the enemy from breaking through individually.

Although Song Zheyuan and Cai Tingkai have a good relationship, there is no one who is in charge when they encounter major events, and often the two of them have to discuss for a long time, so there are many problems in the early battle. However, the war overthrew this, and Song Zheyuan took the initiative to give in, letting Cai Tingkai serve as the commander-in-chief and command the troops to launch an attack on Pyeongchang.

After all, Cai Tingkai was an officer of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he was better at commanding operations than Song Zheyuan, who liked to be brutal, and with Liu Yuan's strategic guidance, there would be no big mistakes.

He knew very well that although Peng Dehuai was very capable of fighting, this Pyeongchang was his lifeline, and in the first set won by Peng Dehuai, Pyeongchang was located in the heart of Pengxi and Yilong, and as long as they launched an attack, they could separate their troops. Liu Yuan's wisdom lies in seeing through the needs of Peng Dehuai and others.

After leaving the Soviet area, they have been running northeast and west, and they must be very eager for the base point, and it is definitely more terrifying for them to easily give up the base they just took than to kill them, even if Peng Dehuai sees this clearly, his troops can't see this. As long as they hesitated, they gave Liu Yuan a chance.

The offensive of the military ground in the southwest SAR was very fierce, and the independent division under Su Yu, who was in charge of seeing Cai Tingkai's troops, could not stop their attack at all, and was forced to retreat to Changping, and at the same time sent telegrams to Peng Dehuai continuously, asking for Peng Dehuai's support. Peng Dehuai, who received the telegram, secretly scolded Liu Yuan, a little cub, for being cunning, and had no choice but to retreat to Pengxi with his troops, and launched a fierce attack from Shixi to the right flank of the troops commanded by Cai Tingkai.

Peng Dehuai's approach could not deceive Liu Yuan at all, Liu Yuan immediately ordered Cai Tingkai to retreat with his troops to the county area, and Peng Dehuai's reinforcement was like a heavy punch to knock down the cotton.

And this powerless fist naturally caused Peng Dehuai's command to become uncoordinated, and at this time it also gave Liu Yuan a chance to fight back, because now the initiative is in Liu Yuan's hands.

Liu Yuan telegraphed Pan Wenhua to lead the troops to join up with the first part of He Long's army, counterattack Langzhong, and engage in a fierce battle with Su Yu's department.

But Peng Dehuai was still unwilling to give up and mobilized Liu Bocheng's troops to support him.

Liu Yuan's crazy counterattack made people see that Liu Yuan was definitely a fierce tiger, and after a few days of onslaught, Li Zhilong couldn't stand it anymore, and found Liu Yuan in person, "Fuguo, are you really going to do something to Mr. Mao?" ”

"What, I can't bear it, remember that you are a Red Party?" Liu Yuan asked.

Li Zhilong's face was full of worry and said, "It's not like this, but our relationship with the Red Party is very complicated, they let us be destroyed, it's definitely not a good thing, you see that the Central Army has not taken action for anything, they are watching us and the Red Party pinch each other, and the reason why the Red Party is playing with us is that we will not be scared to death by them." ”

"Why don't I know the way? But Peng Dehuai's attack was too fierce, I couldn't allow them to come to Sichuan, and they were not so easy to be wiped out by us, and you see how eager Peng Dehuai was for the base area, he actually fought with me continuously, wanting to nourish the war with war, coughing how many troops they have, I don't know how many troops they have, they dare to divide their troops in Sichuan, I think it is necessary to teach them a lesson. ”

The Red Party's troops and Liu Yuan's troops fought continuously for a month, Liu Yuan kept sending recruit troops to fight with the militia and the Red Party, because Sichuan pounced on a lot of railways, the recruits could go to the battlefield as long as they took the car, and kept consuming the strength of the Red Party, but the department eliminated them, and they also achieved the purpose of training, as for the elite troops Liu Yuan did not enter the battlefield from beginning to end.

Chiang Kai-shek was very happy when he told the Red Party that the Red Party was fighting with Liu Yuan, and kept sending telegrams to Sichuan, hoping that Liu Yuan would suppress the bandits with his heart, and continuously rewarded Cai Tingkai and Song Zheyuan.

But Chiang Kai-shek never thought that when they were the most slack, the Red Party suddenly killed a horse pistol and launched a fierce attack on the Central Army, although Peng Dehuai and Liu Yuan were at war, but a large number of troops have been resting, and they have also grabbed a lot of supplies in Sichuan, the strength of the Red Party has not declined, but has risen a lot, Su Yu commanded the troops to fight with He Jian in several battles, He Jian lost his troops and retreated more than 30 miles.

However, the affairs of the Red Party had nothing to do with Liu Yuan, and as soon as the Red Party left, it began to check the combat effectiveness of the militia, and began to demand an inventory of the population, and the establishment of a compulsory military service system; during the war years, every young person over the age of 18 had to participate in military service, receive training and knowledge and skills from the troops, and this order should also be implemented in the areas controlled by Qinghai, Gansu, and Yunnan.

Looking at the statistics, Liu Yuan found that there were more than 500,000 young people of appropriate age, which made Liu Yuan very happy, but Liu Yuan also had to ask Chen Yun, "Why are there so many people, there will be no forced pull." ”

Chen Yun said, "How can it be, there are too many people in Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Gansu, although the census has not been completely completed, but after the inventory, our four provinces have a total population of more than 60 million to 70 million people, and it is not new to have more than 500,000 people, and many young people aged 16 or 7 have also joined the army, but they do not have this opportunity." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, he knew that these were all related to the military propaganda carried out in Sichuan, and the welfare of the army was good, and free education and literacy, it was difficult to have this treatment in ordinary places.

"The training of these people is a two-year system, and those who are outstanding join the military academy and the regular army, and those who are eliminated will return to the village to continue to serve as a militiaman, and all the officers who do not perform well this time will be asked to be instructors for me." Liu Yuan instructed Li Zhilong beside him.

"Fuguo, leave the matter of training heart disease to me." Song Xilian took the initiative to find Liu Yuan, which is not a common thing.

"Why, why did you suddenly have such an idea." Liu Yuan asked, "They all have the habits of warlords in the past, Du Yuming is good, but that guy is not willing to do this job, just leave it to me, although I am not the best compared to others, but I am quite experienced." And those things you trained in the army basically let me learn the Tao, so you can rest assured. Song Xilian explained.

Seeing that Song Xilian took the initiative to help him share, Liu Yuan was very happy in his heart, "Then I will hand over the commander of the general training of recruits to you, this is two years, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the loneliness,."

"Also, there is one thing that cannot be broken, and that is the training of special forces. You must take it to heart, these hundreds of thousands of recruits can at least pick out a few good special forces. ”

The days in July were better, and all kinds of good things were saved one after another, first of all, Song Zihan did give birth to a big fat boy, and left him a name, called Liu Changcheng, in order to commemorate the memory of his battle with Japan in Chahar.

At the same time, the processes of lathe factories and machine tool factories have been improved, and although the German engineers charge very expensive fees, they have a very strong working ability, and they do not have to worry about ammunition from now on.

Next, Liu Yuan continued to visit all parts of Chengdu, as for the Red Party and the Central Army fighting in full swing has nothing to do with him, this time Liu Yuan went to primary and secondary schools, Liu Yuan attaches great importance to their level of education. Then there is the countryside, the life in the village is still too poor, and the income of the people is not very high, Liu Yuan kept this matter in mind. Then there was the inspection of the construction of the railway, which was progressing very quickly, even to the point of two shifts. A large construction site of hundreds of thousands of people, only Chinese have the ability to organize so many people to build, and if someone comes to calculate Sichuan's GDP at this time, it will definitely shock the world. Because from nothing, to rapid construction, it's too fast.

"Fuguo, you are much stronger than I imagined, you have really managed to get on the horse and reorganize the army, and dismount to calm the people." The first thing he said after seeing Liu Yuan seriously was to tell Liu Yuan how he felt about his visit to Sichuan these days.

These days, I also went to the recruit camp, hundreds of thousands of recruits, I heard that there will be more next year, so many troops even the Central Army can not make them voluntarily join, they can only pull strong Ding, so many young people to join your army, can only say one, that is, the local people support you, identify with you, and at the same time, your method of letting them join the army for two years, and then retire, and form a reserve together with the militia is very good, but I don't know if the Central Committee of the Road can implement it.

said that he was very emotional here, according to Liu Yuan's development speed, the central government may not have a chance to take back Sichuan. Especially when he heard Li Zhilong tell him about the reserve system that Liu Yuan did his best, he felt that his back was sweating.

"Hehe, teacher, this is just the beginning, I don't have the potential to dig anything, and then you will see a more powerful southwest. At the moment it's just because the foundation is too weak. In addition, our steel production is too low, and many machine tools imported from foreign countries do not have the opportunity to work. Liu Yuan proudly said to Serious that to this day he still has not given up the idea of pulling Serious into the Southwest Special Economic Zone.

"Teacher, you see that we are so busy here in the southwest, since I came back, I have slept for five hours a day at most, Li Zhilong's hair has turned a lot whiter, teacher, can you bear to let us suffer so much?" Liu Yuan took the opportunity to bring it up again.

"As far as I know, there are many outstanding talents in the whole world of the Elite Alliance, why don't you introduce them to China?" Seriously did not directly return to Liu Yuan's request, but asked his doubts.

"How can it be so simple, many people are used to foreign ideas, let them contribute to the country, it's okay, really let them come back, all kinds of ideas collide, that's going to be a big thing." Liu Yuan said with a wry smile.

"You guy, you have to let me, an old man, help you," he continued with a bitter smile.

"Teacher, would you like to stay?" Liu Yuan asked excitedly. Liu Yuan thought that if he said this, he was willing to stay, but he didn't expect that he shook his head and said.

"No, I still have to take a look, I was gullible about Chiang Kai-shek back then, you are his student, who knows if you are that kind of person." After saying that, he left seriously again.

"You, the teacher, are secretive about joining us, and I think he must have his own purpose." Duanmu Shurou said on the side.

"I also think the teacher must have his purpose." Li Zhilong said.

"What are you afraid of, he can only be assimilated by us when he comes to us, and there is one more point, the serious teacher is not a person, but a force, aren't you worried that no one will supervise us and let us go on the **? Is this non-chattering person coming? ”

"I'm tired to death, three-in-one chapter, 10,000 words, ask for work, ask for top."
