Chapter 217: Nanchang Adaptation
Bai Chongxi's biggest mistake in life was to let Liu Yuan's Tenth Army successfully break through the blockade and return to Jiangxi, but Liu Yuan didn't want to use Jiangxi to fight with the Gui Army and the Huangpu Army.
It's just that Bai Chongxi didn't expect that within a month of Liu Yuan's return to Jiangxi, he re-pulled out a team of more than 100,000 people, and if Liu Yuan was allowed to develop, it was likely that he would make a comeback again, so Li Zongren gave a death order to kill Liu Yuan in Jiangxi no matter what.
Back then, Liu Yuan had a good friend named Xue Yue, and this Xue Yue had also learned to lead soldiers for a long time by Liu Yuan's side, so the soldiers he led were very combative, and he was the fiercest one chasing Liu Yuan.
No wonder it is said in the history books of later generations that Taizu traveled 25,000 miles and called Xue Yue, "Brother Xie Boling sent him thousands of miles." When Su Yu and Xue Yue were fighting in Central China and East China, Taizu repeatedly instructed Xue Yue to be careful, which shows Xue Yue's strong ability to lead troops. ”
Song Xilian, who was responsible for protecting the tail, had four or five major battles with Xue Yue in a row, and the troops suffered a lot of sacrifices, but they finally broke through the siege and temporarily came to the temporary base in Jiangxi.
The staff of the Nanchang Municipal Government, who are willing to continue to follow Liu Yuan, have long been quietly transported away by the Powerful Elite Alliance and the people of the dark pile, and the rest is only temporarily maintained, and Song Qingling can't bear to see this newly born regime disappear, because he feels that the newly established government of Liu Yuan has been perfectly interpreting what is called the three ** righteousness, and now it is about to die halfway, which is inevitably heartbreaking.
However, Liu Yuan did not pay so much attention to political affairs, the Tenth Group Army was going to be reorganized, because there were no heavy weapons, and there were no large-scale auxiliary arms, it was not appropriate to call it the Tenth Group Army.
Liu Yuan accepted his fate as the commander-in-chief of the Tenth Route Army, and Xu Xiangqian served as the deputy commander-in-chief.
It has five armies, three divisions, and 120,000 people. Nie Rongzhen served as the party representative for ten thousand years, Zuo Quan served as the chief of the general staff, and Xie Yingbai served as the deputy chief of staff. Among them, Du Guanlin was recruited as the commander of the Guards, and Sun Lianzhong, the deputy commander, was under the jurisdiction of the First Guards Division and the Second Guards Division. Du Yuming served as the commander of the First Army, and the deputy commander Song Zheyuan. It has jurisdiction over the 3rd Eagle Division, the 4th Eagle Division, and the 5th Eagle Division. Song Xilian served as the commander of the Second Army, and Zhang Zizhong, the deputy commander of the army. Under the jurisdiction of the Cheetah Sixth Division, the Cheetah Division Seventh, and the Cheetah Eighth Division, He Long served as the commander of the Third Army, and the deputy commander Cai Tingkai, because most of his subordinates were Hunanese, and they were organized into the Ninth Hunan Division, the Tenth Hunan Division, and the Eleventh Hunan Division. Teaching brigade, the brigade commander Mr. Jiang Fangzhen, of course, the old man will not lead the soldiers to fight, his main task is to teach the soldiers of the brigade knowledge, and train them. Each of the deputy commanders also led a division.
Hu Lian brought his own independent first division, the second division, with a strength of 5,500 troops, Zhang Lingfu brought his own independent third division, the second division, with a strength of 5,000 troops, and Wang Yaowu's reconnaissance brigade, 4,500 people, with a devil's battalion under its jurisdiction.
At the same time, there is also a baggage regiment, and all the belongings that Liu Yuan can get are under their control, and the artillery regiment now has one hundred and ten mortars left in their hands. The special brigade was all returned to the team and reorganized into three special combat teams: Wolf Tooth, Snow Leopard, and Vulture, and the captains were Li Donghao, Ning Bo, and Xu Zheng.
At the beginning of my own estimates, my strength is quite strong, although it is only 120,000, but each level of commanders and fighters is extremely powerful, and it is estimated that few of these opponents who block their Long March are the opponents of their own officers.
Since he firmly believed that they would not be his opponents for a while, Liu Yuan did not rush to retreat from Jiangxi, but transported a large amount of production equipment and military materials from Jiangxi to Sichuan by land and water.
At the same time, all the soldiers of the Tenth Route Army were very tired, Liu Yuan deliberately let everyone spend a relaxing Spring Festival together, although the military situation was very urgent, but Liu Yuan still asked the soldiers to rest, and the belligerent would die.
No one can stand this rapid march, and the ghost knows how the Red Army's Long March came down on its feet, and how far it has gone, I don't know how many blisters there are under the feet.
Even the military boots were worn out, and even Liu Yuan put on the legendary straw sandals, and he couldn't pull them out when he stepped into the dirt.
It's finally time to rest, so everyone has to celebrate, and Li Zhilong is running around with the propaganda team, "busy performing programs for soldiers and giving ideological lessons." ”
And the soldiers who were supposed to rest in their spare time, under the leadership of the chief, went to the villagers' houses, helped the villagers build bridges and roads, and picked up water for the eldest lady or something, of course, if there are illegal landlords, they must also be punished, Liu Yuan's people are still young, and these local tyrants are not involved at all, so there is no scruple in dealing with it, and these big landlords do not have much power at all.
The people of Jiangxi have feelings for the Tenth Group Army, although they don't know what they are doing for these young soldiers have changed their names, and even their military uniforms have all been changed to grass-green uniforms, but this does not prevent them from loving these young troops, and many young men have been encouraged into the troops by the propaganda team in a daze.
The common people supported the Tenth Front, and the landlords became more and more powerless, and even if there was sporadic resistance, under the threat of guns, they quickly surrendered, and the only resources that the landlords had in this era were knowledge and land.
This is also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek relied on the landlord class for what happened, but then he was completely defeated on the mainland, because the times have changed, and the era of relying on the landlord class to gain state rule has passed.
This New Year, Liu Yuan had a very good time, called all the army commanders and division commanders, and played a good game, Liu Yuan even sang a few songs himself, Liu Yuan's production must be a high-quality product, and there are even musicians who have been ready for a long time, and Liu Yuan's voice is engraved in the gramophone, so that this beautiful moment will be kept forever.
The New Year passed quickly, and Liu Yuan also had to set off in Nanchang, preparing to rush to Hunan, where He Jian's territory was, and the road was not very good to walk now.
The people of Jiangxi were very sad when they heard that the Tenth Route Army was leaving, and they were not worried that the government would take back their land, but that they were worried about the lives of this young team, because in the minds of the people, this young team was the future flame of the East. As long as the flame is not extinguished, sooner or later they will be brightened.
On 15 January, 1928, an aerial reconnaissance report was sent to the Second Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army's "Pursuit Army." Xue Yue looked at the information on it and couldn't help but be extremely shocked: The Tenth Route Army had broken through the Xiangjiang River and occupied the beachhead on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.
A small army has already erected a pontoon bridge over the Xiangjiang River, and the pontoon bridges are scattered with the troops of the Tenth Route Army. The number and location of the main force of the Tenth Route Army have been clarified, they did not go to Xiangbei, but ran to Xiangnan, what do they want to do.
