Chapter 228: Four Crossings of Red Water
Liu Yuan knows very well where his advantage is, that is, he can be with his troops at any time, and he can clearly obtain military information at any time.
Moreover, the high-intensity operation of the intelligence team and the hidden pile of the Elite Alliance of the Strong Powers, coupled with the fact that the fire phoenix did not care about himself, also got a lot of information about Chiang Kai-shek from the Red Party, and Chiang Kai-shek's every move was in Liu Yuan's eyes.
For what to choose Chishui, in Liu Yuan's words, persimmons should be picked up and pinched, if others fight Lang and spend energy, and there is life, Liu Yuan can't afford to lose.
Moreover, if he crosses the Chishui, he can cross the Yangtze River north, so it is possible for him to re-establish contact with the Beishang Corps, and even re-rejoin is not impossible. So the first battle in Chishui City.
Chishui City is located in the northwest corner of Guizhou, as long as the earth city is laid, you can cross the Chishui. Historically, the Red Party ate poop here, and the troops defending the city stubbornly resisted the Red Army's assault with machine guns and heavy firepower.
But when it came to Liu Yuan, there was no such opportunity, all the heavy weapons were used, and this was the first time that Liu Yuan applied the methods of fighting during the Northern Expedition to the Long March.
Dozens of field guns, more than a dozen howitzers poured all the shells non-stop, and for this matter, Liu Yuan and Nie Rongzhen had a very poor relationship with Zuo Quan.
Nie Rongzhen thought that Liu Yuan should not let ordinary people suffer such great damage, but from a distance, Tucheng had become a ruin, and the people estimated that it would be very difficult to rebuild their homes in the future.
However, under the fierce artillery fire of the Tenth Front Army, Pan Wenhua lost his position in one day, including most of Pan Wenhua's troops, and in order to ensure the safety of the Tenth Front Army, Liu Yuan could no longer take care of so much.
Pan Wenhua successively served as the instructor and teacher of the Sichuan Army and the mayor of Chongqing, the commander of the 23rd Army of the 7th Theater of the Kuomintang, the commander-in-chief of the 28th Group Army, the director of the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Hubei Border Region Pacification Office, and the deputy director of the Southwest Governor's Office.
In the face of Liu Yuan's onslaught, he asked for help from the central government and Deng Xihou, and at the same time ordered the troops to slowly retreat and fortify on the shore of Chishui.
The Sichuan army is good at fighting and is not afraid of life and death. The author has a grandfather who was a scout of the Red Army, and he has been dead for four or five years, and he told the author that the Sichuan army wore tattered clothes back then, but they were very capable of fighting, and they loved to scold the melon baby when they opened their mouths, but unfortunately they didn't even have cotton clothes, and they often fought down, and the establishment disappeared in the long river of history.
Pan Wenhua is definitely not a person who is afraid of death, he originally thought that with his own ability, he would be able to hold Tucheng no matter what, and create an opportunity for the large army to annihilate Liu Yuan, otherwise Liu Yuan would enter Sichuan, and the central government would also enter Sichuan, and it would be uncertain whether there was a Sichuan army at any time, so he was ready to resolutely carry out the order.
"Boom! Boom! A few shells fell into the river, and the cold color on Pan Wenhua's face became even more intense.
"Commander, Liu Yuan, their artillery is just like that, don't look at the bombing of Tucheng, but when you get here, you can't hit it accurately, without artillery, they are definitely not our opponents." The staff officer said happily.
"Fart, that's a test shot, as long as one shell hits our position, we're finished." Pan Wenhua said angrily.
As it turned out, as a shell fell into their position, the salvo of the 10th Front began, and Pan Wenhua suffered great trauma in his last battle.
The position was bombed in pieces, and now the position is dangerous.
Pan Wenhua stood in the position, and there was a row of officers standing in front of him, "Everyone is from Sichuan, and many of them are brothers, it's time to set an example for the brothers, we can't let Liu Yuan, who is also from Sichuan, look down on us, so I am ready to organize an officer team, and all those who are officers must rush with me when they rush up." ”
"I am willing to die with the general." The Sichuan army is not afraid of death, the robe brother is righteous, and Pan Wenhua is okay with his brothers, so when he is ready to be afraid of death, the Sichuan army is also willing to go with him.
There is a reason why Pan Wenhua did this, because the weapons of the Sichuan army are relatively scarce, but the equipment of the officers is still good, especially the officers, most of whom have steel helmets, military boots, and semi-automatic firepower.
The Guards' spearhead corps touched their positions, and before they could storm the trenches, they were attacked by a group of Sichuan soldiers who were also wearing steel helmets, and they were all holding automatic weapons in their hands.
The Jianjun Corps was not prepared at all, so it suffered a secret loss in the hand-to-hand encounter, and the first charge failed.
At this time, the Snow Leopard Special Brigade created a miracle, a demoman and an assistant broke through the battlefield, found the command in the vast battlefield, and a shell hit the command center, causing poor command, the Tenth Front Army broke through the defense line and completely annihilated Pan Wenhua's department, Pan Wenhua was captured, it can be seen that this guy's life is still relatively large.
The 10th Front Army crossed the river overnight and reached the territory of Xuyong County in southern Sichuan.
At this time, Deng Xihou also realized that the situation was not good, and the Tenth Front Army was likely to cross the Yangtze River from Xuyong to the north, so he immediately changed his operational deployment and ordered the troops of eight divisions to attack Xuyong, and Chiang Kai-shek also immediately ordered the Guizhou Army, the Dian Army and Xue Yue to form a joint anti-bandit army, with Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief, a total of 15 divisions, and rapidly advanced to southern Sichuan.
Liu Yuan himself didn't expect that the plan to cross the Yangtze River north would go bankrupt before it was spoken, why did Principal Jiang's reaction be so fast this time? Could it be that the Tenth Front Army still has internal ghosts, and if there are internal ghosts, who is this person? Liu Yuan was puzzled, and all the soldiers of the Tenth Front Army were also puzzled.
The troops wandered around the borders of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou for more than 10 days, and finally could no longer hide. And at this time, in the eager eyes of everyone, Liu Yuan finally gave his second order, to the east, recross Chishui City, and then return to Zunyi.
This time it is the legendary rogue tactics, the ancient rogue combat is to flee back and forth, using strong combat effectiveness and mobility, constantly mobilizing government forces, causing a force imbalance, and creating an opportunity to annihilate a group.
At this time, Xue Yue was on the south bank of the Wujiang River, and Chiang Kai-shek gave him an order to cooperate with the Sichuan army to fight, and Xue Yue did order the troops to keep advancing towards Gulin.
And stationed in Tongfang were He Zhizhong and Wang Jialie, the Qianjun army. As soon as Liu Yuan left Guizhou, their great cause of restoring their territory began, and the Central Army was busy pursuing the Tenth Front Army, and there was no effort to take care of them.
This crossing of Chishui was a very secret operation, and all troops remained in radio silence until May 7, when the Guizhou army did not know that the 10th Front Army had re-crossed Chishui.
For the reappearance of the Tenth Front Army, no one was psychologically prepared, and the soldiers of the Guizhou Army were busy taking off their uniforms, throwing away their weapons and running away (there is indeed a habit in the locality, there is no meaning of derogation) The First Army rushed to Tongfang, while the Second Army and the Guards rushed to Loushan Pass.
This is the Xiongguan moat in the north of Zunyi.
Liu Yuan personally commanded the battle, and the soldiers of the Guards fought bloodily, and fought bloodily with the Central Army stationed here for three days and nights, Liu Yuan's eyes were red, and he finally repelled the Central Army and occupied Loushan Pass.
The Central Army was urgently mobilized again, and there was not much support for a while, and Liu Yuan took Zunyi again.
And it was too late for Wang Jialie and Wu Qiwei to discuss how to face the Tenth Front Army.
