Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Chapter Eighteen The New Great War (1)

After receiving the special telegram from the central government, Li Jiansheng just secretly marveled in his heart. He felt that although the historical trajectory had deviated slightly, it had finally returned to the starting point. He did not say much at the moment, just recruiting troops, training, engaging in martial arts competitions, and engaging in production. He Long and others

This is also the case

Of course, the old saying goes without saying. You must know that in official history, among the various Red armies that finally reached northern Shaanxi after the Long March, only the He Long Division of the Second Red Front Army and the 25th Red Army Division had the least reduction in personnel. Among them, the most important

The only thing is that all along the road

A base area was established. And now, what Li Jiansheng is doing is exactly what He Long did in history! You know, one of Li Jiansheng's specialties is the study of history, and he knows very well the results of troops without a base area. Therefore, at any time he

to develop roots

The base area is the responsibility. This was true when the Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Jiangxi base areas were developed, and it was also true later on during the Long March. It is precisely because he has always focused on these fundamental tasks that Li Jiansheng's troops became stronger and stronger as they fought, and they have more than 100,000 soldiers today.

Human scale!

Let’s not talk about Li Jiansheng’s lament, but say that on July 6, a full month earlier than the official history, the Central Committee decided at a meeting that Zhou Enlai would be appointed as the commander and political commissar of the Red Front Army, Zhou Kun would be appointed as the chief of staff, and Li Fuchun would be appointed as the director of the Political Department. Immediately afterwards, the Red Army

The first and fourth front armies were mixed into the left and right armies, and entered the vast grassland where there were few people and the climate was constantly changing.

On July 20, Li Jiansheng and He Long received a telegram from the central government. The Second Red Front Army and the Third Red Front Army were also divided into left and right armies and continued to advance northward along the mountainous areas along the Sichuan and Hunan border. After receiving the order, the two men discussed for a while.

,

It was decided to adhere to the instructions of the Central Committee. The Red 6th Army Corps of the Second Red Front Army, namely the Red 16th Division and the Red 17th Division of the Second Red Front Army, as well as the Red 18th Division that detoured from the base area after receiving the order, merged with the Red 18th Division of the Third Red Front Army.

, the Red 19th Division, the Red 20th Division, the Logistics Command, and some directly affiliated troops, led by Li Jiansheng and Ren Bishi, formed the Left Route Army and moved northward. The Red 2nd Army of the Red Second Front Army, also known as the Red 4th Army of the Red Second Front

Division, Red 5th Division, Red 6th Division, the Red 15th Division, Red 16th Division, and Red 17th Division of the Red Three Front Army, as well as the new recruit training headquarters and some directly affiliated troops, led by He Long and Luo Ronghuan, formed the right route army and headed towards

Operation North.

On August 18, Li Jiansheng and He Long, who were still on the road, received cables from the central government respectively, but they were about news about the Red 1st and Red 4th Front Army. It turned out that the leading troops had already entered the Shaanxi and Gansu areas.

The Right Route Army of the Front Army was reorganized into the Shaanxi-Gansu Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with Mr. Peng as the commander and Mao Weiren as the political commissar. As for the Left Route Army, after entering Gansu, it was successively defeated by Ma Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia.

The domestic army's cavalry attack. Although not as tragic as in history, they still suffered heavy losses. After receiving the message, Li Jiansheng was heartbroken and determined that he must deal with these things after returning to northern Shaanxi this time.

The Ma Jiajun was completely wiped out! Therefore, after making up his mind, he discussed with Comrade Ren Bishi and finally decided to mobilize the whole army and go straight to Shaanxi. At the same time, he sent a message to He Long and Luo Ronghuan, and the two armies marched together!

At the same time, the Shaanxi-Gansu detachment crossed the Min Mountains, successively captured Lazikou, broke through the Weihe River blockade, crossed the Liupan Mountains, and arrived at Wuqi Town (today's Wuqi Town, Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area) on October 1, about 20 days earlier than in history.

County seat). At this point, the main force of the Red Front Army lasted for one year, covering 11

Province, the Long March with a journey of 25,000 miles ended successfully. When it arrived at the base area, only about 42,000 people remained in the army. Li Jiansheng received a special call on the road and sighed inwardly, this is much better than in history. You know, in history, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China

When the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, there were only more than 6,000 people left!

After learning that the Red Army had arrived in northern Shaanxi, Li Jiansheng was able to put down the burden on his mind. He happily discussed a series of military operations with Bishi, and then sent the telegram to He Long and Luo Ronghuan, and received full support. As a result, they were chased and intercepted along the way.

The enemy was in dire straits. First, the Zhou Hunyuan Department of the Central Army was once again killed by one brigade and then two.

After greatly improving the equipment of the Red Second Front Army, Li Jiansheng commanded the cavalry brigade and the special agent brigade to jointly raid the Hunan Army Liao Lei's unit, and vividly tied up the entire artillery regiment that Liao Lei had just equipped.

By the time Liao Lei reacted and chased after him, Li Jiansheng's troops had already transported the regiment's brand-new equipment away. And Liao Lei, who was chasing him, had already transported away the regiment's brand-new equipment.

A brigade was completely wiped out by He Long's command post. Only then did Liao Lei react and refused to pursue any more. Most of the other troops who heard the news did not dare to pursue too closely. Only Liu Xiang's troops continued to pursue. As a result,

How could the Sichuan army with poor equipment be the opponent of Li Jiansheng and He Long? An entire division was captured before they could react.

Li Jiansheng and He Long worked together to make dumplings. Fortunately, both of them knew that the Sichuan army was not well prepared, but it had a good supply of soldiers. They were not willing to kill, but only to attract surrender. As a result, this division of more than 5,000 people was lost to He Long and Li Jiansheng

Two to one plus five, one person and half, it's all covered. So far, He Long's command has grown to 30,000 people!

This series of victories made the Central Army, Hunan Army and Sichuan Army afraid to take action. Only after this did Li Jiansheng and He Long free up their hands to organize their troops to continue heading north.

At the end of February 1936, after the Red Front Army won the victory in the Eastern Expedition, Li Jiansheng, He Long and others led the Red Second Front Army and the Red Third Front Army, with a total of more than 140,000 people, and arrived at the Shaanxi-Gansu Revolutionary Base Area. On February 28, the Red Front Army

The army led by Nie Rongzhen was in the Garze area, and Li Jiansheng and Ren Bishi were sent to the second and third fronts of the Red Army.

The left route armies of the two armies met. The two sides met very happily. On March 3, Xu Haidong's troops of the Red Army's First Front met in Huining with He Long and Luo Ronghuan's right route armies of the Second and Third Front Red Army's troops who arrived next. 3

On March 7, the Yuntian Division of the Third Red Front Army received the left route troops of the First and Fourth Red Front Army which suffered heavy losses in the Garze area.

However, it is said that after Li Jiansheng and Nie Rongzhen joined forces, they were not in a hurry to meet Mao Mao, but only sent a telegram in his own name. It was a combat plan, mainly to open up the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base area and annihilate the Ma Jiajun.

After Mao Zedong carefully studied the plan, he also guessed that Li Jiansheng had been prepared. Moreover, he was very annoyed by the heavy losses of the Red Army's left army. He also believed in the strength of Li Jiansheng's troops, so he agreed to the plan.

.

In the following more than a month, Li Jiansheng's troops only did three things: first, return to the army; second, rest and recuperation; third, prepare for war.

On April 1, Li Jiansheng personally led the special agent brigade, reconnaissance brigade, cavalry brigade, engineer brigade, Red 20th Division, Red 19th Division, and Red 18th Division. With the assistance of Zeng Zhongsheng and Yuntian, they quietly moved toward the Ma Jiajun's base camp. Luo Ronghuan

Then he led the Red 15th Division, the Red 16th Division, the Red 17th Division and the artillery brigade to follow up. As for Cai Zhong, he led the recruit training headquarters to conduct on-site training.

A war with the ultimate goal of annihilating the Ma Jiajun has quietly begun!
