Xia Xinsheng compared the map for a while and asked, "Then is it possible for Xue Yue to divide his troops to find a route along the townships of Luoshui, Hot Water, and Waiting to be Replenished, enter from the southwest of Huize, and flank or directly occupy Shujudu?" And I think there is more than one route, I guess they should have a map of Zanyi County and Huize County, even if there is no military map, I guess they should have figured out a lot of road information in this area. ”

"I suspect that there are two reasons why Xue Yue's Second Route Army did not advance along the southern route, one is that the road to the west along the Jinsha River is much easier, and it seems to have taken a lot of detours, but in fact, it is a lot less than marching in the mountains. There is a risk of detours in the mountains, or there is a high chance that you will take the wrong route.

It is certain that Long Yun is either out of cooperation with us to save the country, or for the reason of protecting his position in Yunnan. There's no way he's going to give the Fruit a map.

You might as well think about it, if we are blocked in Yunnan, the army of the Guoming Party will have enough excuses to deploy in Yunnan, and it can be said that it is very likely that the Red Army has not yet been defeated, and he Long Yun has already dismounted.

Second, Xue Yue had estimated that the Ninth Army was a tired army in some aspects, and it was on the verge of running out of ammunition and food. He was willing to give the Ninth Legion time to breathe and recover, let the Ninth Legion breathe, and then pester him and cause trouble for him. ”

Luo Binghui and the others found these places on the map, and after carefully calculating for a while, they said: "This may work, although judging from the performance of the Second Route Army and the information provided by Long Yun, Xue Yue should not have a military map of Yunnan. It's just that Huize connects Sichuan and Guizhou after all, as the border of Yunnan. It is impossible not to obtain a lot of information by the Sichuan army and the Guizhou army. It's not hard to find a few guides.

In other words, we may have to face the dilemma of being caught between the east and the west. And it is also very likely that they will enter Dongchuan directly from the sea and go directly to the Jinsha River along the small river, whether they want to rush along the south bank of the Jinsha River to Kyaukping Ferry, or cross the Shuju Ferry along the north bank. We are all going to be very passive. ”

Chen Geng leaned over with his glasses to look at it for a while, and asked, "How is the hydrological situation of the Niulan River?" Are there any suitable ferry crossings and where are there bridges? ”

He Changgong said: "There is a bridge in Zanyi County, called Niulanjiang Bridge, also known as Xiaojiang Bridge, Qikong Bridge, Chehongjiang Bridge, Deze Township Bridge in Zanyi County is 95 meters long, there are seven bridge holes, and each hole is 10.4 meters wide. The bridge was built in the 40th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

The whole Niulan River has a big drop, and it is very difficult to march along the river, and only by crossing the river from here can there be enough time to threaten the central crossing of the river. The whole river is very fast, it is difficult to succeed in erecting pontoon bridges, etc., and there are not many large enough ships along the river. It is not very likely that the river will be crossed by boat. ”

Luo Binghui said: "Then we must arrange troops to defend in Zhanyi. ”

Chen Geng thought for a while and said: "It takes a lot of troops to defend this bridge, and once Xue Yue wants to come, it will inevitably be a large army." It will be difficult to defend! We had more than 6,000 men, five regiments and a battalion. How could it take more than a thousand people in the Shujudu area to prevent the Sichuan army from having bad intentions, and the Ninth Army Corps had already gone to one of the three. If we blow up the bridge, we will be very passive in the hearts of the people. Second, as long as there is no big problem with the underwater bridge piers, Xue Yue can still build a pontoon bridge. We still need a lot of troops to garrison. Moreover, if the people don't support us anymore, it will be much more difficult. Don't you lose it! Moreover, there are many Guizhou troops coming from the direction of Liupanshui, and it should only be five or six days. “

For a moment, everyone fell silent. It's not that I'm afraid of troop losses, but the most important thing is that I may not be able to block Xue Yue's department, which is bent on advancing westward.

Xia Xinsheng slapped his thigh and said, "How many people are there in Wu Qiwei's first column?" If we put the first column in and quickly wipe it out, how would Xue Yue react? “

He Changgong's eyes were still fixed on the map and said: "Jiang Jieshi added a lot of equipment and soldiers to Wu Qiwei's column, and allowed him to make meritorious contributions. According to reconnaissance, the first column should have numbered close to six thousand, and its armament was slightly inferior to before, but much better than the warlords' troops. If we quickly wiped out Wu Qiwei's column, Xue Yue would most likely have taken the main force to Zhanyi County, after all, Jiang Jieshi gave him a death order. He shouldn't be in love. “

Chen Geng looked at Xia Xinsheng and asked, "Did you think of something?" Let's talk about it! “

Xia Xinsheng said: "If I were Xue Yue, I might have to leave, but I didn't dare to throw off my steps and move forward." There are two reasons for this. First, the Guo army should have known that the Longyun Department had dealings with the Red Army, after all, after Sun Du's department quickly returned to Kunming, the Dian army's precautions against Xue Yue's department were very strict. He was also afraid of being attacked from behind the flank.

Second, if we directly let go of Xue Yue's main force, we will directly flank his baggage and supply troops, and cut off his supply lines. They are going to face a very unfavorable situation. “

Luo Binghui looked at Xia Xinsheng with shining eyes and said, "Do you have a detailed plan, tell us quickly!" “

Xia Xinsheng said: "I don't have a specific plan yet, I only have an idea, and I still need the leaders to check it." I think that Wu Qiwei has been following behind the Ninth Army Corps and is eager to try, it must be because he feels the pressure in Jiang Jieshi, and the strength of his official position is not guaranteed. I want to make up for it. And the Ninth Legion had put on a posture to eat him before. But in such a good situation, there was no action. It will definitely make Wu Qiwei think that we have reached the end of the crossbow. We can show weakness to the troops in front of us, draw them in, and then close the door and fight the dogs, and quickly annihilate him.

However, we are facing hundreds of thousands of fruit troops, and beating Wu Qiwei is just a broken finger, although it can make Xue Yue feel pain, but it does not reduce their advantage much. The pressure on us is still enormous, and there will be a steady stream of Affirmative troops coming in the future. So I think it's more important that we need to use a trick to scatter beans into soldiers."

Chen Geng smiled and said, "Hey! You've also used spells, but how do you sprinkle beans into soldiers? “

Luo Binghui said with a smile in his eyes: "If I guess correctly, it should be 'Grievance Campaign, right?'" If this is used well, it can really be sprinkled into a soldier, but what are you going to do? “

Xia Xinsheng said, "First, we need to send a group of political workers out to concentrate on preparing for the mobilization of our prisoners. Carry out a comprehensive 'grievance campaign' among the captives to maximize the popularity. Enhance our combat power.

Second, we can't let go of the captives who are unwilling or do not have the conditions for us to expand the popularity. There are two reasons for this: First, if those prisoners are released, they will inevitably return to the fruit army and come to fight with us again when they are full of food and drink. Second, we can use these captives to do things like transport supplies for us, to atone for our own sins and to exchange for food. This way we can speed up the march and draw more fighters.

Third, once Wu Qiwei is destroyed, Xue Yue will definitely reassess our combat strength, and will inevitably send powerful troops to Zhanyi County to attack us from east to west.

After all, this area is all mountainous, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army, and it is necessary to open up multiple fronts in order to give full play to their numerical advantage dozens of times that of ours, so that we can not delay the westward advance and prevent the central center from moving north, but also wipe us out in one fell swoop. Kill two birds with one stone, he should have thought of it.

As long as they want to do this, there will inevitably be a part of the army that will come forward. In such a large and complex area, it must be very easy to attack one part of them, so we must fight continuously, overcome all difficulties, fight several battles of annihilation in a row, and supplement our lack of troops with prisoners.

As long as our troops reach a considerable number, we will let Xue Yue pass, and he will not dare to act rashly. “

He Changgong thought for a while and said: "But after all, we have to divide our troops, and we have no advantage in firepower." It is more difficult to quickly annihilate Wu Qiwei's first column, and besides, marching on the mountain road, the first column of the reactionaries has nearly 6,000 people, and the team may have to stretch more than ten miles. “

Xia Xinsheng said: "We can't ambush them. ”

Chen Geng took his eyes off the map, looked at Xia Xinsheng in surprise and asked, "Can't you fight an ambush?" ”

"Yes, we can't ambush, or rather, we can't ambush completely. Because Wu Qiwei's column has at least 5,000 troops, which is only a lot more than us. We don't have that many forces to pull out a long enough ambush line. The troops are thinned, and Xue Yue's army is behind them, their will to fight will be very strong, at least much higher than that of Zunyi. It's easy to get scorched in battle. And what we lack most is time. It's hard to solve the problem with an ambush, and if they want to run, where will we have the strength and time to pursue them, he just needs to go around with us a few times, and we will only be exhausted. What's more, Xue Yue is so close, we have to face his army of hundreds of thousands at any time. Moreover, once Wu Qiwei is relieved, our backyard will not be at peace, and we will basically lose the possibility of completing this mission. ”

He Changgong hesitated and said, "Then we can't let Wu Qiwei in, it's too dangerous, and it's very likely that we won't be able to complete the tasks assigned by the party." No, no! Let's think of something else. Or just defend on the two fronts of Zhanyi County and Huize County, and grit your teeth to block it for ten days. In addition to taking these two roads, they have no other route to ensure that they can catch up with the center, and we are not afraid that he will choose to take a detour, relatively speaking, it is safer to hold this line. ”

Luo Binghui and Chen Geng looked at each other personally, and then quickly lowered their heads and looked at the map, both of them frowning deeply.

Xia Xinsheng turned around and paced a few steps on the edge of the table, muttered for a while and said, "No, we have to fight!" ”
