Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Chapter Six: Crossing Chishui Four Times

Historically, not all the four Chishui crossings were commanded by Mao Zedong.

The first and second crossings were actually successfully commanded by several veteran leaders such as Zhou Weiren and Zhu Weiren. Because Mao Weiren had not fully taken the initiative at that time and were still subject to certain restrictions, the command was not smooth. But the third and fourth crossings were directly commanded by Mao Zedong.

In fact, as early as after the Zunyi Conference in history, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued the "Operation Plan for Crossing the River" to the heads of each army corps. It was drawn up: after the Central Red Army units entered the areas near Chishui and Tucheng, they were divided into three columns. The Lantian Dam, Dadukou and Jiang'an lines between Binzhou and Luzhou cross the Yangtze River to the north.

Starting from January 19, 1935, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 9th Red Army Corps set out in three groups from the Zunyi, Tongzi, and Songkan areas, heading towards Tucheng and Chishui. On the 24th, the vanguard Red 1st Army Army defeated the Qian Army. Resist, capture Tucheng, and rush to Chishui. On the 25th, the 3rd Red Army Corps arrived at Tucheng. On the 26th, the 1st Red Army Corps encountered the Sichuan Army Zhang Anping Brigade and Dafenggang Brigade at Huangpi Cave and Fuxing Field. The 9th Red Army Corps stopped at Arrow Beach was blocked by the Sichuan Army Task Detachment Xu Guoxuan. The Red Army's plan to occupy Chishui was thwarted. On the 27th, the Central Military Commission column entered Tucheng. On the 28th, the 3rd and 5th Red Army Corps, the Military Commission Column, the Cadre Group, and the Red Army returning from Bing'an The 2nd Division of the 1st Army launched a fierce attack on the pursuing Sichuan Army Guo Xunqi Brigade and Pan Zuo Brigade in the Tucheng and Qinggangpo areas and severely damaged them. However, 4 brigades of the Sichuan Army's follow-up troops quickly reinforced. The two sides formed a confrontation. On the evening of the 28th, the Politburo and The Military Commission held an emergency meeting and decided to withdraw from Qinggangpo and change the march route northward to avoid strong enemies. In the early morning of the 29th, the Red Army was divided into three groups: left, middle and right. They crossed the Chishui River from Yuanhou and Tucheng to the west. That is, The first of four crossings of Chishui.

The main force of the Red Army entered the Tashi area. The enemy still judged that the Red Army would cross the Yangtze River north. In addition to increasing troops at the major ferries in the Yibin section, they also mobilized the Yunnan Army and Pan Wenhua's troops of the Sichuan Army to approach the Tashi area in an attempt to attack the Red Army separately. In view of the fact that most of the enemy's main force has been attracted by the Red Army to the Sichuan-Yunnan border and the troops in northern Guizhou are empty, the Red Army decided to surprise the enemy and march eastward, turning back to Guizhou. The first regiment of the Red Army rushed across Erlangtan before the enemy and successfully crossed the Erlang Beach. The covering troops crossed the Chishui River for the second time at Taipingdu and Erlangtan from February 18th to 20th. They continued to move towards Tongzi and Zunyi. They occupied Tongzi on the 24th. They occupied Loushanguan on the 25th and night. On the 27th. Defeated the blockade of three enemy regiments at Dong Gong Temple. On the morning of the 28th, they captured Zunyi City again. At noon that day, the Red Army entered Laoya Mountain, Honghuagang, and Zhongzhuangpu rear in the south of the city. Wu Qiwei's column rushed to the aid of Zunyi with the enemy. Two divisions came into contact and took advantage of the enemy's unsteady footing to launch an attack. After repeated fighting, most of the enemy troops were wiped out. Wu Qiwei led the remaining troops in an attempt to escape across the Wujiang River. Except for a few personnel who followed him across the river, the rest had not yet crossed the river. More than 1,800 people and a large number of weapons were all captured by the Red Army. This battle in the Zunyi area lasted five days. It defeated and annihilated 2 enemy divisions and 8 regiments, and captured more than 3,000 enemies. It was the largest achievement since the strategic shift of the Central Red Army. of victory.

That is to say, the first crossing and the second crossing in history, one loss and one victory. After the second crossing, the great Mao's position in the central government was established. He took control of the military command. Unexpectedly, he commanded the third party of the Red Army. The crossing and the fourth crossing come.

Historically, after the Red Army won the great victory in Zunyi, Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly flew to Chongqing on March 2 to personally direct the siege of the Red Army. He attempted to adopt a strategy of combining fortresses with key offensives, defending in the south and attacking in the north, to siege and annihilate the Red Army in Zunyi.

District. In order to smash the enemy's new siege, Mao Zedong took advantage of his tactics and wandered around the Zunyi area in disguise to lure the enemy in. Then he transferred his troops to the northwest to seek new maneuvers. At the same time, he used the 3rd Red Army Corps to feint to Jinsha in the southwest.

Move. Mobilize the enemy Zhou Hunyuan Department.

They moved south and west with Wu Qiwei's troops. Then they used their forces to attack Luban Field and defend the enemy. This action of the Red Army really mobilized the enemy. When the enemy Wu Qiwei's troops crossed the Wujiang River to the north and Sun Du's troops of the Yunnan Army approached, on March 11, Mao Zedong

The great man suddenly turned his army to the north. On 1

On the 5th, they entered Renhuai. On the 16th, they crossed the Chishui River from Maotai for the third time and then entered southern Sichuan. The enemy mistakenly thought that the Red Army was going to cross the Yangtze River north again. They hurriedly adjusted their deployment and pressed the Red Army towards southern Sichuan. They attempted to encircle the Red Army again and annihilate it.

The Red Army is on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

In order to further cause the enemy's misunderstanding and surprise, on March 21st, Mao Zedong used one regiment to disguise the main force and continued to advance towards Gulin and Xuyong in southern Sichuan, leading the enemy to the west. The main force returned to the division with rapid action.

Marched eastward. On the 22nd, they crossed the Chishui River for the fourth time and turned back to Guizhou. On the 28th, the Red Army passed through the enemy blockhouse blockade between Yaxi and Liquidambar Dam and reached the Wujiang River.

On the north bank, on the night of the 29th, a platoon of the leading regiment of the Red Army took advantage of the thunderstorm cover to reach the other side on bamboo rafts and successfully captured the ferry. By the 31st, except for the 9th Red Army Corps which continued to contain the enemy on the north bank of the Wujiang River, the main force of the Red Army had all crossed to the south.

Crossed the Wujiang River and skillfully broke away from the enemy's encirclement. At this point, the famous "Four Crosses of Chishui" ended at home and abroad. The Red Army finally completely got rid of the enemy's encirclement.

What is different from history is that because of the arrival of Li Jiansheng, Mao Zedong has fully established his position at the Zunyi Conference and can directly command the actions of the Red Army. Similar to history, this time, the Central Red Army still launched the "Four Crosses of Chishui"

"; Somewhat different from history, this "Fourth Crossing of Chishui" was entirely commanded by Mao Zedong.

Because of Li Jiansheng's control of the enemy, the number of enemies surrounding the Central Red Army was much smaller than in history, and they were somewhat forward-looking and hesitant. This made Mao Mao even more comfortable in commanding. After crossing Chishui on the first day of the new year, the Central Red Army made great gains.

Complete victory: The First Red Army Corps completely annihilated the Sichuan Army Zhang An

Ping Brigade, the Third Red Army Corps defeated the Dafenggang Brigade. Although the Ninth Red Army Corps was blocked by the Sichuan Army's task force Xu Guoxuan's troops at Arrow Beach, as in history, its military strength was much stronger than in history. It only fought with Xu's troops for half a day.

.That is, the enemy troops were defeated. As a result, all three main forces crossed the river safely.

Mao Mao, who had passed Chishui, was so easy to mess with. He had been thinking about cutting off the enemy all the way. As a result, Qingbangpo came into his sight. After discussing with several army commanders, the three red corps, the 1st, 3rd and 9th corps, quickly

Assemble. The Sichuan Army Guo Xun was chasing him from three sides.

The Qi Brigade was half surrounded. Guo Xunqi's Brigade was also a strong force. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately stood firm and waited for help. He also called the Pan Zuo Brigade for support. The Pan Zuo Brigade was not far from the Guo Brigade. After receiving the telegram asking for help, he immediately responded to the Qi Brigade.

Followed behind the Ninth Red Army and suddenly launched a fierce attack.

What Pan Zuo meant was to have the two armies attack from both inside and outside to completely annihilate the main force of the Red Bandits.
