Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Li Jiansheng, who was on the border between Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi, learned from three aspects that the Central Red Army had begun to break through.

The first point is that Li Jiansheng deduced based on the memories of later generations that the Central Red Army would march to the West around October 18. It was called the Western March at that time. It was later called the Long March. The second point was that it was first established by He Changming. , which was transmitted from the underground intelligence system that he personally controlled. The third point, which is also the fastest, was clearly informed by the Central Red Army in a telegram.

This telegram jointly sent by Zhou Weiren and Mr. Zhu told him to move his troops eastward to meet the Central Red Army's Western Expedition.

This time, Li Jiansheng really couldn't understand. Because in history, the reason why the Central Red Army went to the west was partly because of Chairman Chiang's Iron Bucket Plan. On the other hand, it was because of He, Ren, and Xiao. The revolutionary base area of ​​Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is located in the west of the Central Soviet Area. The Central Red Army plans to join forces with it. But looking at this telegram, it seems that the Central Red Army is not going to Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou for a western expedition this time. I would like to congratulate the boss. Waiting for the 2nd and 6th Red Army regiments led by several leaders to join forces. Instead, they came to our Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi base area to join forces with the 3rd Red Front Army led by themselves.

Damn, I'm going big this time.

Moreover, this is not consistent with history.

However, it’s hard to care whether it’s right or not at the moment, because the Central Red Army is indeed coming west. And the message is clearly signed by Zhu, who was born on Tuesday.

Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng, who is familiar with history, knew how much difficulty the Central Red Army would encounter this time. As soon as he received the order, without saying a word, he immediately issued a combat order: the 18th Red Army Corps and the troops directly under the Front Army, immediately march eastward and fight to open a path. Blood Road tried every means to join forces with the Central Red Army. At present, the three legions he had at hand were directly under the front army. After preliminary training, they went out to resist the enemy's attack: the Sixteenth Red Army was led by Ji Zhentong. In southern Hunan The area resisted the siege of the Hunan enemy; the Seventeenth Red Army Corps, led by Zeng Zhongsheng and others, resisted the siege of the Guangxi enemy in northern Guangxi; the front army was directly under the Guards Division, the 1st Artillery Brigade, and the Teaching Brigade under the leadership of Huang Su. In the direction of northern Guangdong and Guangdong The enemy maneuvered around. As for the Eighteenth Red Army Corps, the Second Artillery Brigade, and the Guard Brigade, they were personally led by Li Jiansheng. They moved in the southwest of Jiangxi to relieve the siege of the base area and the pressure of the Central Red Army. The logistics and baggage brigade and the engineering brigade are as follows. Wang Hanying and Xu Zhengfang led some preparations in the rear.

Li Jiansheng personally defended this side. The original plan was to support the Central Red Army. The main purpose was just to make some noise and attract the enemy's attention. But he was really surprised. The enemy's strength in this area was the strongest among the four directions.

In fact, the top authorities of the Kuomintang mobilized 1 million troops in the fifth joint campaign against the Central Soviet Area; during the same period, there were about 1.2 million troops attacking other base areas. Of course, in official history, the top authorities did not dispatch so many troops. But in this era, because of Li Jiansheng and because of the strength of the Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi base areas, many more troops were dispatched. Among these 1.2 million people, Li Jiansheng's Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi base areas were besieged by more than 550,000 enemies. Just. His base area faced one less encirclement and suppression than the Central Soviet Area. The enemy's fifth encirclement and suppression campaign against the Central Soviet Area was the fourth encirclement and suppression campaign for his base area. Of course, Chairman Chiang encircled 550,000 people at once. His base area. If coupled with the enemy's main forces blocking the southeastern Jiangxi, southeastern Hunan, and northeastern Guangdong areas...the purpose of these enemies is not to attack his base area in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi, but to attack the Central Soviet Area. Ever since he learned that Li Jiansheng carried out a series of annihilations After he was deployed, Chairman Chiang had regarded him as a major problem. He was also determined not to allow his base area to be integrated with the Central Soviet Area. Therefore, heavy troops were stationed here. The total strength of these heavy troops reached 400,000.

Fortunately, the main attack direction of these enemies is the Central Soviet Area and Ruijin. If they are all facing the Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi base areas, then the pressure on Li Jiansheng's base area is at least 950,000 people. In fact, as far as Li Jiansheng's troops are concerned, the main enemies they face at the moment are They came from both the east and west. The east gathered more than 550,000 enemies, including 150,000 who surrounded Li Jiansheng's department and 400,000 who surrounded the Central Soviet Area. The purpose was to prevent his base area from being integrated with the Central Soviet Area; the west and northwest More than 200,000 enemies were gathered. The main purpose was to isolate Li Jiansheng's troops from He Long, Ren Bishi, and Xiao Ke's troops to join together. As for southern Hunan and northern Guangdong, the troops were relatively small, with only 100,000 troops each.

Hearing that the Central Red Army was breaking out to the west, and that it was breaking out towards the revolutionary base area on the border of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi that he had created. Although Li Jiansheng only had one legion, two brigades and one guard regiment, totaling more than 30,000 people at hand, he still concentrated on launching a fierce attack on the enemy. .To respond to the Central Red Army from the side.

But he said that before the action, several senior officials of the Central Red Army met and determined the main direction of the Western Expedition. At that time, after the suggestions of Zhu, Zhou and others, they decided to implement two plans: the first set, with Li Jiansheng The Red Third Front Army led by him met in the revolutionary base area on the border of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi. This distance is relatively close, but the enemy's heavy troops are also the largest. Not to mention the nearly 1 million people directly blocked. If the two sides are added, it can be short-term. The total number of people mobilized is estimated to be more than 1.5 million. This is very difficult. The second plan. If the Central Red Army and the Third Red Front Army fail to join forces, change the route and continue to advance westward. With the leadership of He Long, Ren Bishi, and Xiao Ke The Second and Sixth Red Army Corps joined forces to expand the revolutionary base areas in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou. It was precisely because of this established policy that the order was signed by Zhu and Zhou.

History is moving forward according to its original trajectory. On October 21, 1934, the Central Red Army broke through the first blockade of the Kuomintang troops from Wangmudu in Gan County to Xintian in Xinfeng County. They headed westward along the Guangdong-Jiangxi border, Hunan-Guangdong border, and Hunan-Guangxi border. At that time, Li Jiansheng led the Eighteenth Red Army Corps and some directly affiliated troops of the Front Army to move closer to the Central Red Army on the Hunan-Guangdong border. However, it was difficult for the enemy to gain troops and break through. Somewhat different from history, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek co-founded Eight blockades blocked the Central Red Army from going to western Hunan; this time, it was only intensified. Not only were the same departments that besieged the Central Soviet Area set up eight blockades on the road to prevent the Central Red Army from joining forces with the Third Front Army of the Red Army led by Li Jiansheng; the original siege Li Jian was born in the revolutionary base area on the border of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi, and also blocked more than 150,000 people between the revolutionary base area in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi and the Central Soviet Area. He also set up 4 more blockades. Adding the two together, there were 12 blockades in total. It was forcibly blocked between the Central Red Army and the Third Red Front Army led by Li Jiansheng. This does not include another 1 million troops gathered here from various places.

On October 21, the day after the Central Red Army broke through the enemy's first blockade, that is, on October 22, Li Jiansheng's troops launched an all-out attack and broke through the enemy's first blockade in the opposite direction.

This battle was not too difficult for Li Jiansheng. It only took one or three hours to break through the enemy on all fronts. In this battle, more than 5,000 enemies were wiped out. The remaining enemies retreated. Although Li Jiansheng fought relatively smoothly, he felt strong uneasiness in his heart: First, in this first blockade, the enemy is not too strong. There are about 30,000 people in the entire blockade; secondly, the supply is sufficient, and the troops and firepower are slightly stronger than the enemy. Therefore, it is easier to fight. However, although In this way, Li Jiansheng's troops still suffered a lot of battle losses. Of course, Li Jiansheng was not uneasy about the battle losses of his troops. Rather, he believed that the enemy's first blockade was just to consolidate and strengthen the next few lines. Blockade to buy time.

The enemy of the future is so powerful that it may be unprecedented.
