Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

It is not said that Li Jiansheng's troops are reorganizing the army, but Xue Yue's troops are searching and marching so slowly in eastern Guizhou. They are afraid that they will fall into Li Jiansheng's tricks again and lose their troops and generals. In this way, their speed will be much slower. Although Xue Yue was extremely annoyed and a little heartbroken about his loss of troops, he mostly wanted to kill the red bandit to avenge him first and then explain it to the chairman of the committee. That would make sense. Therefore, he Launched his own troops to attack. On the one hand, he urged the Hunan Army and Gui Army behind him to catch up. It took another two days. The first detachment of Huiji under Xue Yue finally reported that the leading 62nd Division and the 63rd Division under the Hunan Army had arrived. They came up, but the Gui army was still slow. When Xue Yue first heard it, he was a little surprised, because he still knew about the 63rd Division of the Hunan Army. It was Chen Guangzhong's troops; but the 62nd Division seemed to have been completely annihilated by the Red Bandits. He didn't know where it came from. Thinking about it again, he immediately remembered something: some time ago, he learned through his own channels that He Jian secretly used money and materials to exchange some officers from the Red Bandits and reorganized the 62nd Division. Thinking of this, his heart Then he understood. The suspicions he had just aroused were all gone. He just asked the Hunan army to follow him.

Xue Yue still knew about the Hunan Army. Except for Li Jue's 19th Division, the combat effectiveness was not in his eyes as the head of the Central Army. Especially this time, he knew that the new 62nd Division and the old 63rd Division were following him. Don't care.

The original Zhang Liangji of the 62nd Division was more or less a trained soldier. He had some military career and was considered a good fighter. Although he was taken advantage of by the red bandits, he was more or less a rare general. I still valued him to some extent, but for now. His 62nd Division is newly formed. Its combat effectiveness is definitely not good.

But in Xue Yue's eyes, Chen Guangzhong of the 63rd Division was not considered a soldier at all. He was at most a bandit. That was even worse than a red bandit.

Chen Guangzhong was born in Shuangquanpu, Shaoyang. He was born in 1897. He started to join the underworld in Changsha, the provincial capital, at the age of 21. He once served as a soldier in the military training camp of the First Division of the Hunan Army for a few days. He soon became a deserter and ran back to his hometown in Shaoyang to work as a soldier. The bandits are gone.

The early years of the Republic of China were a period of great social change in China. All kinds of characters appeared on stage under the banner of revolution, performing scenes of saddening tragedies and comedies. But for people like Chen Guangzhong, the opportunity came.

Tang Shengzhi, then commander of the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army, was at odds with provincial governor Zhao Hengti. He expelled Zhao from Changsha and took over the post of governor. Zhao Hengti's subordinates resigned. They sought help from Wu Peifu, who was entrenched in Hubei, and joined forces with Wu Peifu. After defeating Tang Shengzhi, Tang Shengzhi had no choice but to turn his attention to the Guangzhou National Government. He agreed to reorganize his unit into the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Northern Expedition. After Tang Shengzhi reached an agreement with the Guangzhou National Government, he began to deal with the pro-Zhao Hengti in Hunan. The most difficult thing to deal with among these garrisons is Zhao Hengti’s die-hard subordinate, Liu Chongwei, who is stationed in Shaoyang. Liu Chongwei is also from Shaoyang. When he was 11 years old, he was sponsored by his tribe to enter Xuncheng Academy. He was later admitted to the cavalry department of Baoding Military Academy. Because With excellent grades. After graduation, he was recommended by the principal to serve as company commander in the Hunan Provincial Governor Zhao Hengti's office. He made military exploits when attacking Hesheng Bridge and Tingsi Bridge. He was promoted to battalion commander and regiment commander. At this time, he had already served as an independent mixed brigade of the Hunan Army. Chief. He was responsible for the task of eradicating bandits in western Hunan. According to Shaoyang local records, Liu Chongwei did a lot of good things for Shaoyang. He built electricity, built bridges, railways, schools, and established scholarships. He had a certain influence in the military and Shaoyang. The start of electric lighting in Shaoyang was the result of Liu Chongwei's efforts.

Tang Shengzhi knew that taking forcefully would not work, so he discussed with He Jian: to take it outwitly, and decided to trap and kill him. It was the winter of that year. He Jian came forward to call Liu Chongwei. He only said that his life in front of Tang Shengzhi was really not good, and he also wanted to defect to Zhao Hengti. Suffering from lack of connections, Liu Chongwei and He Jian were colleagues at the time and were very familiar with each other. He also knew that He Jian had military power. He was overjoyed when he heard that, so he patted his chest and recommended all his efforts to Zhao Hengti. Seeing that Liu Chongwei took the bait, He Jian suggested that Liu Chongwei come. We discussed it in his office. Liu Chongwei had no doubt that he was there. He went straight to He Jian's office with only a few guards. He was ambushed by Tang Shengzhi and others who had been there for a long time. They arrested him and shot him to death on the third day. After Tang Shengzhi trapped Liu Chongwei to death, Liu's Not only did some of his subordinates refuse to accept Tang Shengzhi's adaptation, but instead defected to the bandit Chen Guangzhong. This greatly increased Chen Guangzhong's strength. Seeing that Chen Guangzhong's men and horses were strong, Zhou Pan, the commander of the Second Division of the Hunan Army, quickly recruited him and appointed him as the battalion commander. Chen Guangzhong became the battalion commander. One year of food and salary. Strength became stronger. After Xu Kexiang launched the "Ma Ri Incident" on Changsha, Chen Guangzhong was like a fly smelling blood. He buzzed and swooped up. He led his troops to break away from the Second Division of Zhou Pan's Hunan Army and attacked workers' pickets everywhere. and the Peasant Self-Defense Army. Chairman Chiang was overjoyed when he saw that this guy was more ruthless in killing people than himself. He hurriedly appointed him as the "Commander of the Suppression of the Communists in Eastern Hunan." Now Chen Guangzhong changed from voluntary suppression of the Communists to authorized suppression of the Communists. The backbone became much stronger. In July 1928, when Peng Dehuai launched the Pingjiang Uprising, Chen Guangzhong overestimated his capabilities and led his troops to intercept the uprising troops. Naturally, they were defeated. In anger, Chen Guangzhong bloodbathed Pingjiang Changshou Street and Southeast Township. . Killed 1,800 innocent people to take credit. This massacre made Chen Guangzhong addicted to killing. From then on, he was out of control. Every time the Red Army attacked villages and towns, they would bloodbath the villages and towns, ranging from old men in their decades to infants. Thousands of them Innocent people died at the hands of him and his men. Only in places such as Liuyang Tieshu Mountain, Hengshan, Fuling, etc., there was no human habitation within 10 kilometers. The level of brutality was unparalleled.

Such behavior naturally made real soldiers like Xue Yue look down upon. However, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government He Jian not only did not kill him to thank the people, but promoted him to the rank of commander of the independent brigade. Later, General He Jian The indigenous Chen Zigong tribe in western Hunan and Chen Guang's central division were merged into the 63rd Division. Chen Guangzhong was appointed as Lieutenant General and Division Commander.

Knowing that the 62nd Division and the 63rd Division were following him, Xue Yue sneered. He just asked Huiji to take care of him. Then he ordered the three division-level units he led to line up in a row. At the same time, they moved forward: to the north was Ou Zhen's 90th Division. Division, with Liang Huasheng's 92nd Division in the middle and Huiji's First Detachment in the south. The Hunan 62nd Division and the 63rd Division followed the 92nd Division and the First Detachment. However, just that afternoon, the 92nd Division called and said that the Hunan 62th Division was fast. Soon, he was already on par with them. Xue Yue nodded secretly. He felt that Zhang Liangji was pretty good. He originally planned to send a telegram. But then when he thought about it, he felt a sneer in his heart. He didn't bother to interact more with these Hunan troops. He sent a telegram, just to urge the army to advance, but he didn't know that God gave him another chance, but because of Comrade Boling's arrogance, he missed it again.

You know, the 62nd and 63rd Hunan Divisions that came over were not Zhang Liangji's newly formed 62nd Division and Chen Guangzhong's 63rd Division, but the 16th and 17th Divisions under Li Jiansheng.

It turned out that Li Jiansheng had been thinking about how to win again. Later, he accidentally remembered that He Jian had exchanged 5,000 sets of Hunan Army uniforms as compensation for military expenses when exchanging with his troops. After thinking about it carefully, he had the idea. This is what happened now. Arrangement. These military uniforms, together with various captured Hunan Army military uniforms, were soon equipped with more than one entire division. It didn't work anymore. Thousands of sets of captured Gui Army and Central Army military uniforms and equipment were used to form two entire divisions. Another special agent group of the division, with a total of about 22,000 people, was uniformly led by Ji Zhentong. They made a large circle and ran behind the Central Army first. Then they reported to Comrade Xue Boling in the name of the 62nd Hunan Division and the 63rd Division. Then they took the form of the Red 17th Division. At the bottom of the Huiji Detachment, use the Red 16th Division and the Special Agent Regiment to cut off the connection between the Huiji Detachment and Liang Huasheng's 92nd Division. The Red 18th Division attacks from the south and the Red 19th Division counterattacks from the west.

Poor. There were more than 11,000 people in the Huiji detachment. They were surrounded by more than 50,000 people from Li Jiansheng's troops without realizing it. In less than an hour, a division-level detachment was wiped out. There were more than 4,000 officers and soldiers including Huiji and below. People were captured and a large number of weapons and equipment were seized. Liang Huasheng's 92nd Division responded fairly quickly. But even so, they suffered huge losses when they attacked Li Jiansheng's special agent group, because at the first opportunity, his artillery battalion was gone. Come on. As a result, his troops suffered heavy losses. One division was beaten from the front by the powerful firepower of Li Jiansheng, and only one brigade remained. It was a major lesson for him. If it weren't for Xue Yue's quick reaction, Qian Zhen's 90th Division and The following two divisions arrived quickly. If Li Jiansheng's troops could surround the 93rd Division in time after annihilating the Huiji detachment, then this division would definitely be completely annihilated. Later, during the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in northern Shaanxi. Xue Yue was one of the participants. At the negotiation table, he said to Zhou Enlai angrily: "Can you Red Army stop doing such shameless sneak attacks and fight us openly and openly?" Zhou Enlai said. The great man just talked happily about the fact that Li Jiansheng's troops and Liang Shenghua's troops were facing an attack. General Xue was speechless at that moment. Of course, this is something for later, so I won't say more for now.

But he said that at this moment, Xue Yue's troops were not paying attention, and Li Jiansheng's troops made up and killed a division. He was very angry. Fortunately, he only knew that He Jian's troops used money and weapons to exchange prisoners with Li Jiansheng's troops. If it had been known that the disguised Red Bandit troops who attacked the Central Army were wearing the Hunan Army uniforms sent by He Jian, they might not have immediately settled the accounts with He Jian. The news that Li Jiansheng's troops disguised themselves as Hunan troops and attacked the Central Army was later reported to He Jian. He Jian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after thinking about this. Later, he firmly stopped his subordinates from telling the details. He insisted that they were exchanged for money. Then he gave up.

Xue Yue, whose strength was greatly damaged, wanted to fight again, but couldn't. Therefore, he deployed the original 6 divisions and a division-level detachment. At present, Li Jiansheng's department first annihilated two divisions, and now another division was annihilated. Detachment, cripple one division. That is to say, of his 7 division-level units, only three are now at full strength. The other division, that is, Liang Shenghua's unit is not at full strength. This kind of strength is different from that of Li Jiansheng's unit. There is no chance of winning against the enemy, even if it is a hard fight. Because Li Jiansheng's army on the opposite side has four divisions. With such capture now, the firepower will probably far exceed that of our own army. As for the Guangxi Army and the Hunan Army, at first glance We can know this situation now. It is completely unreliable. Thinking of this, Comrade Xue Boling, although reluctant, has to face the reality, fully compress the march, and temporarily take a step back to rest.
