Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Unexpectedly, the mantis stalked the cicada, and the oriole followed behind. The two legions of the Red Eight and the Red Five, which had quietly crossed the Chishui River, followed up on the left and the right, and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the back and wings of the Panzo Brigade, but the back was exposed. The Ninth Army of the Red Army also gave Pan Brigade a backhand. They divided their forces. One army assisted the first, the three armies attacked Guo Brigade, and the other team cooperated with the Fifth Army. The Eighth Army attacked Pan Brigade. Poor Pan Brigade, who only wanted to attack the Red Army at first. Suddenly attacked from four directions, first they couldn't stand it and were almost completely wiped out. Only brigade commander Pan Zuo broke out with less than one battalion of guards. Guo Brigade's situation was even worse, because they encountered a red army. and the Third Army of the Red Army. As a result, less than 10 minutes after Pan's brigade was defeated, the entire brigade also collapsed. Guo Xunqi took advantage of the familiarity of the location, disguised himself as a small soldier, and sneaked away with a few elites. At this point, a group of troops commanded by Mao Mao The crossing of Chishui ended with the annihilation of two brigades.

When the news came, the five regiments of the Central Red Army were all greatly boosted. Several leaders of the Central Committee wanted to continue to advance in one go and completely escape the enemy's encirclement. However, the reconnaissance troops at the front received timely information: 4 brigades of the Sichuan Army's follow-up troops were quickly reinforced. A confrontation has formed with the Red Army.

Mao Zedong was the best at fighting skillfully. He did not want to get entangled with the enemy. He thought carefully, overcame all opinions, and took the initiative to lead his troops back and cross the Chishui River for the second time.

What is very similar to historical facts is that the Red Army defeated two brigades of the Sichuan Army in one fell swoop, allowing the enemy to judge that the Red Army would cross the Yangtze River north. Therefore, Chairman Chiang immediately issued an order: in addition to increasing troops to the main ferries in the Yibin section, he also mobilized The Yunnan Army and Pan Wenhua's Department of the Sichuan Army approached the Tashi area in an attempt to attack the Red Army separately. However, the Yunnan Army was easier to maneuver, but Pan Wenhua's Department was in a bit of misery. For no other reason than the Red Army he encountered was the most powerful. .

To the south of Pan Wenhua's headquarters is Li Jianfei's headquarters, which is the Seventh Red Army Corps reorganized from the original Third Front Army of the Red Army. It is the first-class combat unit in the Red Army. Previously, Li Jiansheng's headquarters had Red 16, Red 17, and Red 18. Red 19 and Red 20 have a total of 5 main divisions, including the troops directly under the legion, with a total strength of 7 divisions, and each division is a super large-scale 8-regiment system. After entering Sichuan, Li Jiansheng vigorously recruited Sichuan soldiers. That is nearly 20,000 people. At present, he has transferred 7 regiments from the above-mentioned 5 main divisions and directly affiliated troops to form the Red 15th Division. He has also organized the newly recruited soldiers into 6 regiments and allocated them to 6 Among the main divisions, 6 main divisions are all super large-scale 8-regiment units. As for the remaining recruits, they are all integrated into the directly affiliated units. Therefore, although Li Jiansheng's current unit only has the name of one legion , but its strength is truly higher than any front army in the Red Army at the moment. As for the weapons and equipment, because Li Jiansheng's unit has won many battles, it is well equipped and now it is the best among all the units in the Red Army.

To the north of Pan Wenhua's department is the Fourth Red Front Army led by Zhang Guotao, Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao and others. Moreover, Zhang Guotao and Xu Xiangqian are currently leading part of the main force of the Fourth Red Army and are attacking in the direction of Nanchuan, Jiangjin and Banan. Come.

Who is Xu Xiangqian? He is a marshal with outstanding merits in later generations. He is one of the senior generals who are best at fighting in the Red Army. Historically, when he was developing in Shanxi, he wiped out Yan Yan in a month with less than 60,000 troops. Xishan had 100,000, and the regular army alone killed eight of his entire brigades, turning the originally unsightly situation in Shanxi into a situation that was fundamentally favorable to the Red Army. For this, the strategist Mao Zedong praised him loudly and even specifically asked him about the Shanxi How was the Battle of China fought? What's more, after Li Jiansheng's troops were attacked overtly and covertly, half of his troops were wiped out alive. Therefore, he was powerless to respond to Chairman Chiang's order. Knowing that with these two first-class troops in the Red Army and these two first-class military commanders in the Red Army, how could Pan Wenhua's life be easy, and how could he draw out the troops, but even though In this way, Pan Wenhua, who did not dare to disobey military orders and did not know Xu and Li very well, was still a little lucky. He thought that taking advantage of Chongqing's mountainous terrain, he could hope to stop the two groups of red bandits, so he still deployed a The brigade went to support Tashi.

While this unit was still on the road, Tashi's situation changed dramatically.

It turned out that great Mao's strategic vision was revealed at this time.

He judged that most of the enemy's main force had been attracted by the Red Army to the Sichuan-Yunnan border at this time. Northern Guizhou was empty of troops and the Red Army could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Therefore, once the main five legions crossed Chishui, they could divide their forces and advance. Therefore, he directly A battle order was issued to let the First Red Army Corps attack Tongzi, the Third and Fifth Red Army Corps to attack Loushanguan, and the Eighth and Ninth Red Army Corps to attack Zunyi. How could the defenders of these important towns be the opponents of the main force of the Red Army? On the first day, Tongzi fell into the hands of the Red Army in the morning, and Loushanguan fell into the hands of the Red Army in the evening. On the third day, the Red Eighth Army and the Red Ninth Army were blocked by an enemy brigade. The Eighth Army attacked the enemy and attracted enemy firepower; the Ninth Army marched overnight. They made another surprise attack on Zunyi City that night. When the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Army Corps arrived, the five main forces joined forces to annihilate the two divisions of Wu Qiwei's column rushing to assist Zunyi. Wu Qiwei led less than one battalion of the remaining troops to escape across the Wujiang River, and the rest were not yet The remnant soldiers and a large number of weapons that crossed the river were all captured by the Red Army. As for Pan Wenhua's brigade, of course they never returned and were dumped by Comrade Lao Peng's Red Army. As a result, this battle in Zunyi lasted for three years. On the same day, a total of 2 enemy divisions, 1 brigade and 8 regiments were defeated and annihilated, and more than 4,000 enemy soldiers were captured. This was the greatest victory achieved by the Central Red Army since the strategic shift.

Pan Wenhua learned through the radio that the entire brigade of his reinforcements had been annihilated on his way to escape.

It turned out that after the troops he sent left, Li Jiansheng's troops took the lead in attacking from south to north; while the troops led by Xu Xiangqian attacked from north to south. The two sides attacked, and Pan Wenhua's troops were defeated in just 5 days. They were all defeated, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pan Wenhua only escaped with a very small number of troops. He received the news on the way, and his chest felt sweet. He had never suffered such a big defeat before and spit out a mouthful of blood. , fainted.

He fainted on his side, and Li Jiansheng, who was surrounded by security forces on the other side, received two pieces of news, one good and one bad. One news was that when the Red Fourth Front Army attacked Pan Wenhua's headquarters, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the Northwest Military Commission Chairman Zhang Guotao personally visited the front line to inspect the battlefield situation. As a result, he was hit in the head by a stray bullet from a wounded Sichuan Army soldier and was seriously injured. His death is unknown at the moment. One news is that after the north-south attack by the two armies, the Fourth Red Army and the Seventh Red Army have occupied eastern Sichuan. And throughout Chongqing in later generations, the leading troops of the two armies have joined forces.
