The Fujiang River originates from the northern foot of Xuebaoding, the main peak of Minshan Mountain, and exits Huanglong from northwest to southeast, passing through Pingwu, Jiangyou, Santai, Shehong, Suining, and Tongnan, to Hechuan where it joins the Jialing River.

Because Mianyang was called Fu County in the Han Dynasty, it was called Fujiang. In ancient times, Bashu used the Jialing River as the dividing line. The west of the Jialing River was called Shu, and the east of the Jialing River was called Ba. Therefore, the Fujiang River was also called Neishui or Neijiang.

Along the way, the crystal clear holy water of the snow-capped mountains has nourished countless people in the past dynasties on both sides of the Fujiang River. Above Jiangyou, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, with natural resources, treasures, and rare animals; below Jiangyou, water transportation is smooth, irrigation is developed, and there is a large population and abundant resources.

Miliangchuan belongs to Bazi in western Sichuan.

On the night of January 25, 1935, when the 1st, 9th and 7th Red Army Corps were advancing toward Mianyang under the cover of darkness, Peng Dehuai commanded the 3rd and 5th Red Army Corps to cross the Fujiang River from Suining, launching the largest Fujian offensive since the founding of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

Prelude to the Battle of Chia.

This time is the dry season of Fujiang River, and the width of the river is only more than 100 meters.

Because the Third Red Army Corps occupied Fujiang too quickly, completely beyond the Sichuan Army's expectations, the Sichuan Army was not in a hurry to destroy the ships. The Third Army Corps captured the ferries at Fujiang Ferry and all the ships in Fujiang. In addition, after Liu Yimin occupied Chengdu, Liu

Hunan was afraid that the troops would be too scattered and easily defeated by the Red Army, so he ordered the defenders from various places to concentrate on key points. Therefore, the other side of Suining was no longer heavily guarded, and there were only a few small troops responsible for monitoring the movements of the Red Army.

On the west bank of the Fujiang River, hundreds of boats were ready to go. Soldiers were sitting on the boats holding guns tightly, and machine guns were set up on the bows.

Li Tianyou, commander of the 5th Red Division, was anxiously waiting for the signal from the leading troops on the riverside. His leading company of the 13th Red Regiment had secretly rowed across the river under the cover of night.

Li Tianyou has just turned 21, but there is no trace of childishness on his young face. His eyes are shining in the dark like a tiger.

In the Red Army, Li Tianyou was famous as a tiger general. At the age of 14, he joined the Seventh Steel Army of the Guangxi Army and served as a soldier under Li Mingrui. He was soon sent to the Guangxi Nanning Teaching Corps founded by the Communists as a trainee. When he was 15 years old, Comrade Xiaoping

,open

Comrade Yun Yi launched the Baise Uprising and established the Seventh Red Army. Li Tianyou was appointed deputy company commander and company commander of the military special agent company. The Seventh Red Army went north to join the First Red Army behind the Capital Division. Li Tianyou participated in the third counter-encirclement and suppression campaign.

Ganzhou and other series of battles

After fighting, he was promoted to deputy commander and went to the Red Army Cadre School to study in the higher-level cadres. At the age of 20, he was appointed commander of the Fourth Red Division. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, the three regiments of the Fifth Red Division fought against the Gui Army in the two main battlefields of Xinwei and Guanghuapu, resulting in casualties.

Disastrous. Transferred to Guizhou

After that, they marched and fought all the way and replenished all the way. Especially after arriving in Sichuan, the soldiers were replenished quickly. With the weapons and ammunition transported by Liu Yimin and the Hunan Army and elite prisoners of the Central Army, the current Red Fifth Division is much stronger than before the Long March.

.

After receiving the order from the Red Army headquarters to conduct the Fujia Battle, General Peng immediately ordered the 5th Red Division to be the vanguard to open a passage for the entire army. Li Tianyou quickly formulated a battle plan that combined stowaway and forced crossing, planning to break through Fujiang in one fell swoop.

While Li Tianyou was waiting anxiously, gunshots and shouts rang out from the other side of the river. After a short time, the gunfire stopped. Two signal bombs flew into the sky. Li Tianyou was overjoyed and ordered the Thirteenth Red Regiment to cross the river immediately.

The Thirteenth Red Regiment, which had been waiting on the boat, immediately lit torches, urged the boat, and rowed towards the other side. The river was illuminated by the torches, and hundreds of boats were vying to cross the river, with the sound of oars.

After the Red 13th Regiment crossed the river and controlled the key points, the main force of the 5th Red Division quickly crossed the river.

Seeing the main force of the Red Army crossing the river in large numbers, how could the small Sichuan Army troops who were responsible for monitoring the Red Army at other crossings on the other side of the river dare to block and resist? I only regretted that my parents had lost two legs and scattered and escaped in the dark.

In this way, the five main divisions of the Third and Fifth Red Army Corps were divided into five groups, and they crossed the Fujiang River calmly using ferries.

Peng Dehuai, who was crossing the river, looked back at the quiet riverside town of Suining at night, and then looked at the rolling iron stream rushing forward with torches in the night. Thinking about the tragic scene of more than half of the casualties during the fierce battle on the Xiangjiang River, he couldn't help but feel heroic in his chest.

Shouted: "Liu Xiang, Tian Songyao, Deng Xihou, bastard warlords, your grandfather Peng is here!"

After shouting, Deng Ping ignored Yang Shangkun and looked at him with surprise. He spurred his horse forward and galloped deep into the night.

Deyang is less than 100 miles away from Mianyang, and it is a plain road. The First Red Army and the Ninth Red Army are making extremely rapid progress.

Just as Liu Yimin guessed, Lin Biao and Nie Rongzhen did not want to let Deng Xihou flee to Jiangyou, so they ordered the 9th Red Army to besiege Mianyang, the 1st Red Division and the 3rd Red Division to attack Jiangyou, and the 2nd Red Division to attack Zitong. Several armies were like a red wave, heading towards the Mianyang Plain.

Roll away.

Liu Yimin led the 7th Red Army Corps to march behind the 1st Army Corps. Seeing the red army troops carrying torches rushing forward in different directions in the dark night, just like the red arrows on the battlefield situation map generated by later animations, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Well, my trip through time was not in vain. The Red Army at this time in history was still crossing Chishui! Think about it, when the heroic and capable Third Army finally reorganized the Eighth Route Army, only one

Three regiments and five regiments were completely wiped out. Thinking about the meeting of cadres above the Red Army Corps held by Mao Zedong after arriving in northern Shaanxi, and seeing how pitiful the cadres were, Liu Yimin felt that he had changed the history of the Long March. The Red Army

Not only has it not been weakened, but it has become stronger! It is eager to finish this battle as soon as possible and establish a stable base as soon as possible so that it can go to the anti-Japanese battlefield to kill the Japanese as soon as possible.

The large army marched at night, but no one spoke. Liu Yimin, who was riding on the horse, sighed in his heart. If it were placed in the peaceful times of later generations, I am afraid that no one would believe that such a large army, under the iron discipline of the Red Army,

It was so quiet. Even the marching team of the Legion Headquarters around me was silent all the way, with only the sound of footsteps and the sound of horse hooves beating on the ground.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the troops arrived near Mianyang. The Second Red Division set up a pontoon bridge on the Fujiang River about 20 miles away from Mianyang. The soldiers walked across the pontoon bridge with torches and advanced towards Zitong.

By the time Liu Yimin walked across the floating bridge, it was almost dawn.

Feng Dafei asked if he should take a short rest before leaving. Liu Yimin simply replied: "Follow the second division and continue moving forward."

After saying that, Liu Yimin got off his horse and asked Li Chengyi to take the horse and let the tired soldiers ride in turns to speed up the march.

When Luo Ronghuan saw Liu Yimin giving up his horse, he said to Li Chengyi: "The legion commander's injury is not completely healed. You leave his horse and take mine."

Liu Yimin said: "My health is fine, it doesn't matter. The political commissar's eyesight is poor and he can't keep up with his walking speed. It's better to ride a horse. Stop fighting and take my horse away."

Luo Ronghuan thought about it, it was true, he was wearing a pair of glasses, and he couldn't see the road well at this time. He stopped arguing.

Cai Zhong and Feng Dafei also gave up their horses, grabbed the soldiers' light machine guns, loaded them on them, and strode forward with Liu Yimin.

The troops galloped all the way north.

That night, Chiang Kai-shek went to bed early to rest.

Before falling asleep, Chiang Kai-shek was still thinking that Xue Yue was rapidly advancing towards Chengdu, Zhang Xueliang had also arrived at Wanxian County, Hu Zongnan's elite First Division had entered Guangyuan, and Yang Hucheng had also entered northern Sichuan from southern Shaanxi. Liu Xiang, in particular, repeatedly sent telegrams to express his wishes.

He resolutely obeyed the central command and sincerely invited himself to go to Chongqing to supervise the suppression of bandits. It seems that everything is under his control. Zhu Mao's remnants and defeated generals are inseparable this time!

After falling asleep, Chiang Kai-shek began to dream. It seemed that he had returned to his hometown in Xikou, probably when he was a child. There was a large water tank at the door. The water in it was covered with a thin layer of ice and looked crystal clear. The naughty Chiang Kai-shek

I really want to know how water turns into ice, underneath the ice

I was wondering if the water in the water would turn into something else, so I moved a stool, climbed up to the edge of the tank, and stretched my head to look into the water tank. My little hands kept trying to break the ice layer. I didn’t want to use too much force and end up carrying it.

Go in. Now the ice breaks and water enters. It turns out there is still water under the ice!

The dream suddenly changed, and I arrived in Shanghai. It seemed that I was down and out. I had just returned from a brothel drinking wine with Chen Qimei. When I looked up, I saw my mother and my wife Mao standing at the door of the residence. My mother's thin face seemed to have a lot of weight.

There was a wrinkle. Mao lowered his head and was stroking the corner of his clothes, not even daring to look at himself.

The dream turned again, and the son was born. The mother held him, with a smile on every wrinkle on her face. The son was also good, with his chubby little face and loud crying, which made people want to tease him.

Mao, who had given birth, was still like that, nagging and persuading herself every day to stop working outside and go back to her hometown in Xikou to live with him. Why is this woman so ignorant? When will she understand her revolutionary ideals?

Suddenly, I returned to the time of Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou. Chen Jieru was wearing a white dress and a white skirt. She was graceful and charming. But she was in a bad mood. The key was that the Communist Party was making too much trouble. Each division and regiment of the First Army had their party members.

Representative, how can we get rid of them? It happened that Chen Zhaoying reported to the Navy Director that Zhongshan Captain Li Zhilong was unstable. Okay, here’s what you need

It was the fuse, let's take action on him! So he put on his military uniform and rushed to the garrison headquarters, commanding the troops to initiate martial law. As a result, Li Zhilong refused to confess, insisting that he had been ordered to sail a warship to Huangpu to wait for President Chiang's call.

Niang Xipi! I don’t need your confession. What I need is for the Communists to leave my First Army! Lock them up and then talk.

Why are you in Shanghai again? It seems that you are getting married. First, there was a church wedding at Song Zhai. Ziwen handed the beautiful Meiling in a full dress into his hands, exchanged rings, and read the vows. Then he went to hold a Chinese wedding ceremony.

During the wedding, while the guests were still excited, I quietly took Meiling to Mogan Mountain.

He woke up while dreaming. Before Chiang Kai-shek could fully recover from his dream, he subconsciously touched the beautiful bride beside him.

The sleeping lady was suddenly attacked and woke up in fright. When she saw that it was Daring coming again, she thought she was too charming, so she said "hate", then quietly opened a corner of the quilt and leaned in

Moved.

Chiang Kai-shek did not take any further action, but woke up completely. It was strange, he slept so well, but why did he have so many dreams? His mother and Jingguo stopped talking, and he often fell asleep. Why did he even dream about Mao and Chen Jieru?

Could it be that Chen Jieru is coming back?

? Or is Mao feeling unwell? This is really strange! I wonder how Jingguo was doing in the Soviet Union. This kid has been away for nine years. I don’t know what he is like now. Maybe he is treated as a human being by the Soviets.

He was pledged, and he had to find a way to get his son back.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was staring and thinking, and it was not at all what he thought, his wife said angrily, "Nervous", wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and continued to dream.

Looking at the time, it was almost 5 o'clock, and it was almost dawn. Chiang Kai-shek, who couldn't sleep anymore, simply got up, washed up, and went directly to the study.

Sitting in the study, bored, my mind couldn't help but think of the war. What will the Zhumao Red Bandits do next? They will definitely not sit back and die. So what are they going to do? Chengdu has become a target, and it is impossible to defend Chengdu.

Yes, no risk

If you don't say anything, your own army will soon form an encirclement there, and it will continue to shrink the encirclement. Not to mention senior generals, even the company commander can see this. The red bandits are huddled in Chengdu.

Maybe a bigger conspiracy is brewing.

What is this conspiracy? It is obvious that the red bandits want to cross the Jialing River and join Xu Qianqian's bandits. At first, they wanted to go to Xiangxi to join He Long and Xiao Ke, and then they dived into their own pocket formation. But now, now

There are Sichuan troops guarding the Jialing River. Do the Red Bandits not know that? Do they have the guts to touch the rocks? They don't want to repeat the story of the Xiangjiang fiasco, right?

To take a step back, even if the Sichuan army cannot hold on and they are allowed to cross the Jialing River, what will happen? It is just a matter of slipping from one pocket into another bigger pocket. Moreover, it can also consume part of the Sichuan army for itself.

After thinking about it over and over again, Mianyang suddenly came to my mind.

Mianyang has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. With the nature of red bandits roaming everywhere, they will not miss it. If you occupy Mianyang, you can flank the Jialing River defense line to the east, threaten Chengdu at any time to the south, and flow into northwest Sichuan to the west.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, you can enter Shaanxi and Gansu to the north. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is really a good place for both advance and retreat.

No, Liu Xiang must be notified immediately, asking him to quickly strengthen Mianyang's defense line and block the route of the red bandits' northward escape.

Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek didn't care whether Liu Xiang got up or not, and immediately called the guard staff on duty and asked him to send electricity to Liu Xiang immediately.

After the staff went to generate electricity, Chiang Kai-shek felt uneasy after thinking about it. He felt that he had made a wrong move. He should not have ordered Hu Zongnan's 1st Division to go to Guangyuan. There were still many Sichuan troops there. Instead, he should have ordered the 1st Division to march directly into Mianyang.

Garrisoned. With this powerful force garrisoned in Mianyang, it would be a nightmare to sleep at night.

Chiang Kai-shek called in his staff again and asked him to send a report to Hu Zongnan to quickly deploy and prepare to seize Mianyang.
To be continued...
