It was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.

From 1937 to 1945, Japan launched a war of aggression against China. On November 20, 1937, the government of the Republic of China issued the "Declaration of the National Government to Move to Chongqing". It officially opened its office in Chongqing on December 1. Chongqing became the wartime capital of the Republic of China.

Capital. On September 6, 1940, the National Government clearly designated Chongqing as the capital of the Republic of China. Chongqing was the highest headquarters of the National Anti-Japanese War and anti-fascism at that time. It was a world-famous anti-fascist center and the political, economic, and cultural center of China's rear area.

Port. Chongqing was officially established as a city in 1929. The first mayor was Pan Wenhua.

And now, Li Jiansheng, who is about to enter Chongqing, Sichuan, is holding a piece of intelligence and studying it. The intelligence was provided by the central government. The general content is the current deployment of troops in Sichuan. According to the intelligence, the current troops stationed in Sichuan include Wang Zuanxu, a member of the Kuomintang troops.

Most of them are dissatisfied with the number of edits. But the number of edits is truly astonishing.

However, after reading this information, Li Jiansheng's head felt a little big. Nothing else. He was familiar with history and knew that this troop deployment should have been last year. In fact, according to historical records, in January this year, in order to prevent the Red Army from entering Sichuan.

In January 1935, the entire Sichuan Army was reorganized, including the 20th Army. Commander Yang Sen had jurisdiction over 6 mixed brigades and a total of 18 regiments. Another military police brigade

There are 1 brigade and 12 regiments in total. There is also the 3rd Special Branch Brigade. Except for the New 6th Division, the New 23rd Division and the 24th Army, these units are all under the command of Liu Xiang. There are a total of about 340 regiments.

Li Jiansheng didn't know whether it was because the central government's intelligence was wrong, or because history had not developed, or because he had arrived at this era and the situation was still the same as before. So he was suspicious of this information. Then he thought about it. It was already March. His I have the impression that the Sichuan Army underwent another reorganization in March 1935. I don’t know what their situation is now. After thinking about it, I called Wu Zheng and others and asked him to bring a few soldiers from the special agent regiment and reconnaissance battalion to arrive first. I went to Chongqing to touch some tongues and clarify the situation. Because I know that Sichuan language is very distinctive, Li Jiansheng specially selected 5 Sichuan soldiers from the entire army to follow Wu Zheng.

The reconnaissance force was released. Li Jiansheng's main force continued to move forward step by step. Three days later, just after Li Jiansheng's main force arrived at the outskirts of Qijiang, Wu Zheng's intelligence came back. Li Jiansheng took a look and found that the situation had changed: the 20th Army. Commander Yang Sen. It was organized into three divisions: the 133rd, 134th and 135th. It consisted of 6 brigades and 14 regiments. The 21st Army was divided into three armies: 21, 23 and 44. Tang Shizun, Pan Wenhua and Wang Zuanxu served as army commanders. They were all under the control of Liu Xiang. Directly under the jurisdiction. A total of 83 regiments. The 24th Army. Commander Liu Wenhui. Organized into three divisions: 136, 137, 138. A total of 16 regiments. The 28th Army. Changed to the 45th Army. Deng Xihou is the commander. Organized into five divisions: 125, 126, 127, 128, 131. A total of 24 regiments. Regiment. 29th Army. Changed to 41st Army. Commander Sun Zhen. Organized into 122, 123, and 124 divisions. A total of 19 regiments. New 6th Division. Changed into 104th Division. Li Jiayu served as division commander. Organized into 3 brigades and 9 regiments. Another independent After the regiment reorganization, the Sichuan Army was reduced to less than 170 regiments.

At present, Chongqing, which Li Jiansheng is about to attack, is stationed in the 23rd Army led by Chongqing Mayor Pan Wenhua.

Pan Wenhua, No. Zhongsan, was born in Renshou, Sichuan. In February 1929, he was appointed as the first mayor in the history of Chongqing. In 1934, he concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the reserve army of the Sichuan Anti-Bandit Army. Currently, he is also the commander-in-chief of the South Road of the Sichuan Anti-Bandit Army. His mission is Encirclement and Suppression of the Long March Red Army. Li Jiansheng knew that in July this year, he would resign as mayor of Chongqing. In October, he would be appointed commander of the 23rd Army. Later he would participate in the Anti-Japanese War. In January 1938, he would be appointed Commander-in-Chief of the 28th Army in December 1949. On March 9, he rebelled in Pengxian County, Sichuan Province. He later served as a member of the Southwest Military and Political Commission.

Just when Li Jiansheng's troops were heading towards Chongqing, either openly or covertly, Pan Wenhua, who was in charge of Chongqing, was now mentally and physically exhausted. Life was very difficult. It turned out that as early as the "Battle between Liu and Liu" broke out, Pan Wenhua came to help Liu Xiang. Later, Liu Pan Joining forces, Pan Wenhua served as the commander of Liu Xiang's teaching division and concurrently as the commander-in-chief of Zuoji. He led five brigades in a fierce battle with Liu Wenhui. Unable to do so, he had to retreat to Rong County to protect Zigong. The Fourth Front Army of the Red Bandits took advantage of the melee between our Sichuan Army and entered Sichuan from Shaanxi. .Launched the "Tongnanba Battle", stationed in one fell swoop and defeated the troops. And occupied Tongjiang, Nanjiang, Bazhong areas. Pan Wenhuaxuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the reserve army for suppressing the Communist Party. He mobilized two forces to attack across the river. It failed. After the situation was reported to Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang was forced to ask for help from Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek intervened in Sichuan and appointed Pan Wenhua as commander of the teaching division and mayor of Chongqing. The teaching division was renamed the 33rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army. The division was affiliated with Liu Xiang. The 21st Army has now been upgraded to the 23rd Army. Although Pan Wenhua is highly skilled in martial arts and has both civil and military skills, when he took on this responsibility, he knew very well in his heart: his position is a whole crater.

As a senior general of the Sichuan Army's "instant system", he is generally aware of the surrounding situation. Therefore, he has a clear understanding of the current situation in Guizhou: the red bandits are making a lot of trouble. According to the intelligence he has, the red bandits are almost gone now. They occupied the entire province of Guizhou. However, they were stationed in Chongqing. Because the south of Chongqing was Guizhou occupied by the red bandits. The north was the Tong, Nan and Ba areas occupied by another group of red bandits. In other words, only one of them was bad. North and South. Once the two groups of red bandits join forces, they can redden Chongqing and unite together in Chongqing. He, who is familiar with military affairs, knows very well what that means to the Sichuan troops like himself. Therefore, regardless of the order of Chairman Chiang. It was Liu Xiang's request or his own thinking. He must try every means to prevent the two groups of red bandits from joining forces.

However, with the current strength of these troops, how could it be possible to fight on two fronts at the same time? How could it be possible to stop the combined forces of these two red bandits?

However, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he preferred to travel to the tiger mountains. Knowing that he couldn't do it, Pan Wenhua had to do it forcefully. Fortunately, his suggestion was quickly supported by Chairman Chiang and Liu Xiang's full cooperation. At the moment, Yang Sen The three divisions of the 20th Army guarded the three cities of Yibin, Zigong and Leshan; the 21st Army of Tang Shizun guarded the large area of ​​Gulin, Xuyong, Xingwen, Huzhou and Hejiang; the three divisions of the 23rd Army guarded Qijiang, Chongqing, Jiangjin, Nanchuan and other places; Wang Zanxu's three divisions of the 44th Army defended Beibei, Hechuan, Fuling and other places; Liu Wenhui's three divisions of the 24th Army defended Mianyang, Deyang and other places; Deng Xihou's five divisions of the 45th Army guarded Guang'an, Suining, Nanchong, Dazhou and other places directly faced the enemy from the Fourth Front Army of the Red Bandits; Sun Zhen's 41st Army's three divisions guarded Chengdu and Ziyang areas. Li Jiajue's 104th Division guarded Neijiang and Rongchang. Qijiang was originally occupied by Jiang Zaizhen's troops of the Guizhou Army. Chiang Zaizhen's troops later entered Guizhou to fight against the Red Army and were defeated by the Fifth Red Army. After the Fifth Red Army retreated voluntarily due to the overall deployment of the Red Army, the city was occupied by Pan Wenhua. It is currently garrisoned by his direct 148th Division.

In this way, Pan Wenhua is relieved. You know, what he is most worried about is the merger of the Central Red Bandit and the Red Bandit Four Front Armies. And now between the two Red Bandits, there are more than 4 armies and nearly 14 divisions. It is estimated that the Red Bandits are unlikely to forcibly join forces. And with these heavy guards, Chongqing, an important town in eastern Sichuan, cannot be occupied by the Red Bandits. As for Chengdu, Liu Xiang is in charge of it, so he does not have to Worry.

Thinking of this, Pan Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief. However, he relaxed for a while. Guo Bingnan, the commander of the 148th Division who was guarding Qijiang, called. Several troops suddenly appeared outside Qijiang. Their reconnaissance team had contacted each other. The visitor turned out to be There were Liao Lei of the Central Army, Wei Yunsong of the Gui Army, Zhang Liangji of the Hunan Army, and Yu Guocai of the Guizhou Army. When asked why, it was they who pursued the Red Bandits all the way from the Hunan-Guizhou border. Who knew they had reached the territory of Sichuan? That part of the red bandits has long since disappeared.
