After learning the news of Liu Zhi's defeat, Chiang Kai-shek was completely disappointed. He immediately ordered Wei Lihuang to stop attacking the Soviet area and concentrate his forces on the 15th Red Army, which seemed to be waiting in Hangzhou and was not ready to leave. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek was worried about Wei Lihuang.

He committed the old habit of disobeying orders again. While strictly ordering him to go north immediately, he also ordered Liu Zhi's remaining troops to be given to him to command.

Although Wei Lihuang was very sorry that the "suppression of bandits" was abandoned halfway, under the combined efforts of old Jiang Enwei, he still went north to receive and rectify Liu Zhi's defeated army. However, with Wei Lihuang's steady military style, he was asked to lead the troops.

Going north to Hangzhou would have to wait at least ten days and a half. This made Chiang Kai-shek very anxious. The Red Army occupied Hangzhou but was still unable to wipe it out. This would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his prestige. If the powerful local factions took the opportunity to join in the fun,

He was really worried. Especially in the past two days, the damn Japanese ambassador had come over again and again to protest and claim compensation, as if he didn't even know he was tired, and threatened to send troops to "help the suppression". This made Chiang Kai-shek even more furious.

...

What really made Chiang Kai-shek feel at ease was the return of the 200,000 elite Nationalist troops that Xue Yue had conquered to suppress the Central Red Army. Now at least Nanjing and Shanghai were safe. In fact, the reason why Xue Yue gave up chasing the Central Red Army was because the Red Army actually ventured into

When they arrived at Jiajin Mountain, which was said to be inaccessible even to birds, the national army was dumbfounded. No one dared to follow them all the way. Moreover, as soon as the Sichuan warlords saw that the threat of the Red Army was lifted, they immediately began to exclude Xue Yue's Central Army.

Sichuan could not stand, so it had to withdraw its troops and return east in depression. Originally, Chiang Kai-shek was not very satisfied with this, but this matter went wrong, and the Yangtze River Delta region, which was now severely under-manned, received new reinforcements. In addition, he had already telegraphed the order.

With Hu Zongnan's First Army and Sun Lianzhong's troops transferred to southern Anhui, Chiang Kai-shek could finally sleep peacefully.

After that, the national army suspended all offensives, but instead attracted the attention of Hu Weidong and Su Yu. In order to disrupt the enemy's steady deployment of additional troops and to obtain a buffer zone, Hu Weidong allocated part of his troops to attack the surrounding areas of Hangzhou as quickly as possible.

All the counties where there were no national troops stationed were occupied, and they prepared to live in Hangzhou. Now Chiang Kai-shek really couldn't sit still. But now Chiang Kai-shek can rush to Hangzhou immediately, and he has enough strength.

There is only one unit that is guaranteed not to be easily eaten by the 15th Red Army, and that is the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. However, the German adviser General Alexander von Falkenhausen strongly opposed Chiang Kai-shek's sending this elite unit to the battlefield.

Go up, because even an ordinary soldier in this unit will be a future national army officer. It is simply a crime to let him die in battle as a soldier. When the Central Soviet Area was encircled and suppressed, the chance of winning was very high, and he strongly opposed it, and even more

Not to mention that the situation is much more difficult this time. But Chiang Kai-shek is still stubborn, because he must show enough strength to the major forces in the country, otherwise if those local factions are also encouraged to raise troops against the central government, the situation will be even worse

It was out of control. However, the teaching corps, which Lao Jiang had high hopes for, fell into the siege of the main force of the 15th Red Army because of the confidential telegram from the National Army...

But the Teaching Corps is indeed a teaching Corps. Although it is surrounded by the superior strength of the 15th Red Army, its heavy equipment is not as good as it is.

The "lateral detour" launched again disrupted the situation. The officers and soldiers who were forced to fight on their own were still resisting tenaciously. After several days of fierce fighting, the 15th Red Army still did not eat all the enemies in the encirclement. Instead, they themselves sacrificed more than 10,000 people.

Huge casualties were suffered, and ammunition consumption reached a new high since the establishment of the 15th Red Army.

"No, we can't fight like this. We can't fight a war of annihilation for the sake of fighting a war of annihilation. After all, there are still Japanese people watching. The situation is completely different from the situation during the Liberation War. "Development" is much more important than "annihilation of the enemy." If a battle

If you cannot increase your own strength, then this battle should not be fought. The Teaching Corps is a very special unit, and the ordinary soldiers in it will all become officials in the future. It is very difficult to transform them into this. In other words, this

We will definitely lose money if we continue fighting in the first war. The difference is just a loss or a loss. Considering the future war of resistance, the purpose of our current war is to develop and protect ourselves, so we will defeat the teaching corps so that it can no longer threaten us for a period of time.

As long as we are there, there is no need to fight at all costs like annihilating the reorganized 74th Division during the Liberation War, which will only increase unnecessary casualties and waste too much ammunition." Hu Weidong suddenly came to his senses and immediately took back the command from Su Yu.

, and immediately ordered the surrounding troops to make way for a gap. When the teaching corps saw that there was a way to survive, their determination to fight to the death immediately faded, and they all fled. The 15th Red Army followed the trend and killed most of the enemy troops, while the Red Army's

However, the losses were significantly reduced compared with the previous siege of the enemy...

Su Yu and Hu Weidong each commanded half of this battle, and the result was quite satisfactory. However, generally speaking, the practice of delegating command power and then suddenly taking it back is very hurtful. Fortunately, Su Yu was generous, otherwise the two of them might have to fight each other in the future.

A rift arose. Another advantage of Su Yu is that he never hides his illness and avoids medical treatment, and he can correct his mistakes. After listening to Hu Weidong's analysis, he also believed that his emphasis on "eliminating the enemy" was in line with the strong enemy environment of the 15th Red Army.

They were in a different situation. Although Hu Weidong had average commanding ability, his strategic vision was better than his own. How could he not accept it? After this battle, Hu Weidong and Su Yu became more and more comfortable with each other, and gradually became a pair that made any enemy vulnerable.

The timid golden partner...

Hu Weidong's intervention not only changed the battle itself, but also caused the First Army of the National Army, which rushed to the rescue, to run into an iron plate. The 15th Red Army that was freed up concentrated its entire main force of more than 100,000 people to deal with it.

Hu Zongnan's army was really relaxed and happy. This time, Su Yu finally fought a battle of annihilation. After fierce fighting, the whole army completely collapsed the resistance of Hu Zongnan's first army in less than two days, with only casualties.

At the cost of more than 5,000 men, more than 30,000 national troops were killed and captured. Although Hu Zongnan broke out under the escort of his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that his "number one army in the world" now only had less than 1,000 men left.

When he came from it, he cried bitterly on the spot. So far, the 15th Red Army had fought five battles and won five victories, and had killed and captured more than 100,000 enemy soldiers. Rich people in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places fled because they were afraid of the Red Army's attack. The world was shocked for a while.

, Chiang Kai-shek was even more anxious to force the Ministry of Finance to increase the military budget again, and ordered various regions to speed up the recruitment of troops to make up for the huge losses on the front line. However, after a series of victories, Hu Weidong was surprised to find that the situation of the 15th Red Army

On the contrary, it is more dangerous than before the war...
