Chapter 95 Chengdu Storm (9)

Just as the Red Seventh Army was training in Chengdu on a large scale, Xue Yue was chasing the army and looking at Sichuan on the banks of the Chishui River, he arrived at Hongyi in Leshan. Under the command of Lin Biao and Nie Rongzhen, the five main divisions were divided into five routes and began to be from Leshan.

Going west and sweep north. The first legion of the Red Division advanced to Xingjing through Emei, the Red Division advanced from Jiajiang to Hongya, and the Red Division took Danling straight. The three main divisions three arrows shot Ya'an in a volley, which scared Liu Wenhui.

Three shocks a day, he hurriedly retreated the entire line, huddled in Ya'an City, and could not stand. The Red Ninth Division of the Red Ninth Army re-occupied Qingshen, Meishan, Pengshan, and the Red Tenth Division captured Jingyan, Renshou. The five armies arrived.

Wherever, the security regiments of Sichuan Army, who were not in a hurry to escape, surrendered one after another.

Under the command of Peng Dehuai and Yang Shangkunhuai, the five main divisions of the Red Third Army were divided into two routes, from Leshan to the east and swept north. The Red Fourth Division of the Third Army, the Fifth Division, and the Red Sixth Division captured Rongxian, Weiyuan, Zigong, Neijiang,

The Sichuan Army, which attempted to concentrate and establish a defense line in Zigong and Neijiang, was defeated and retreated to Luzhou, Rongchang, and Dazu, and the main force of the Sichuan Army in the South Road, converged and defended, the Red Seventh Division of the Fifth Army (formerly Red 13th Division), and the Red Eighth Division (formerly Red 34th Division)

Capture Ziyang and launch it to the counties around Ziyang.

Wherever the main forces of the Central Red Army went, they mobilized the masses on a large scale, opened warehouses and released grain, organized local armed forces, and the poor peasants were cheering, and the local tyrants cried and called their parents. For a time, red flags were flying everywhere, and land was divided everywhere.

Hurry, some old Red Army cadres looked at the long queues on the red spots and shouted that the revolutionary climax was coming.

Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian, Chen Yun and others who were marching towards Chengdu were not as excited as the Red Army cadres after seeing the battle reports of the four legions. After arriving in Meishan, the Politburo held a meeting to study the current situation and

The Red Army policy believes that under the current situation, the warlords in Sichuan are still very strong, and the Central Army may enter Sichuan at any time, and the Red Army is still in the process of encirclement and suppression. After the Central Committee arrives in Chengdu, it will specifically study the situation in Sichuan and countermeasures of our army. As for Liu Wenhui, opposite the First Corps,

If the group is not defended, it will not be considered annihilated for the time being. As long as the Pan Wenhua group opposite the third legion does not actively pursue the Red Army, our army will not actively attack the other side. Our army should avoid attacking the tough battle at present, and the central task is to manage the Chengdu Plain.

Rest and rectify the main force, expand its strength, and meet with the Four Front Army.

After the meeting, the Red Army Headquarters ordered the Fourth Front Army to go south to the Chengdu Plain; ordered the Red Seventh Army to divide troops to occupy Chongzhou, Dayi, Pixian, Maoxian, Pengzhou, Guanghan, and establish defense lines westward and northward; ordered the Red One and Ninth Army to divide troops to occupy Pujiang

,Qionglai, Shuangliu area, the Third and Fifth Legions captured Suining, Sanjiang and Zhongtai areas.

After receiving the order from the Red Army Headquarters, Liu Yimin immediately ordered the Red 11th Division to be assigned to the first battalion of heavy machine guns, and the 75th Mortar Battalion occupied Guanghan, Shifang, and Deyang, and the main force was occupied to Deyang for training; the Red 12th Division was assigned to the 60th Mortar Battalion and the 2nd Heavy Machine Gun Battalion occupied

Pi County, Guan County, Pengzhou, the main force lives in Guan County for training; the Red 13th Division was assigned to the Third Battalion of Heavy Machine Guns, and occupied Chongzhou and Dayi to the west, and the main force lives in Dayi for training. In particular, it was necessary to occupy Anren Town in Dayi and take good care of Liu Xiang.

, Liu Wenhui's family prepared for negotiations with the Sichuan Army. The three divisions controlled the western and northern defense lines of Chengdu, and together with the first, ninth legions and the third and fifth legions formed the Chengdu circular defense line. The Chengdu Defense Transfer Engineering Corps, the baggage regiment, and the infantry battalion of the artillery regiment

, the Fourth Battalion and Cavalry Battalion of the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, and the Guard Battalion is in charge.

After Fu Zhuting handed over the defense of Leshan directly under the First Army, he organized a large cart, pack horse and migrant workers, and led the Leshan security forces and the materials seized in Yibin and Leshan to Chengdu. After handing over the materials to the Logistics Department, the troops were allowed to return to the construction.

I also took office at the 12th Division.

Now the guard battalion commander Zhang Haitao finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he was in Leshan, the Third Guard Company was left to serve as the Leshan security mission. As soon as he arrived in Chengdu, the Second Guard Company was transferred out to form a new force. There was only one guard company on hand. The Company Commander

Li Chengyi had to follow the commander of the legion every day. He was panicked when he had no soldiers at hand. Zhang Haitao was afraid that a hole would appear in negligence and regretted it. As soon as the third company came back, Zhang Haitao went to find the commander of the legion and asked to form the Second Guard Company immediately.

Liu Yimin thought about it and felt that the soldiers in the guard battalion were mainly Red Army soldiers rescued from the Gui army. Although they were strong, their combat effectiveness was very average. So he asked Zhang Haitao how his troops were training recently.

Zhang Haitao was also a personal talent. When he saw the commander of the army, he reported in detail about his training of the troops according to the standards of the first battalion, and specifically reported on the performance of the troops in the battle in Yangping Town.

Liu Yimin knew that the guard battalion was very brave in the battle in Yangping Town. It can be seen that after training, the soldiers' tactical level has indeed improved. Coupled with the humiliating experience after being captured by the Gui army, their combat effectiveness should have increased rapidly. I immediately decided

The guard battalion was expanded to five companies, usually serving as a guard task for the Legion headquarters, and acting as a reserve team during combat.

When Zhang Haitao heard this, he almost jumped up happily. Five companies, after another battle, it might be a regiment. He is not afraid of weapons and equipment, but there are many weapons he captured. The question is where the warrior came from, and it takes a long time to collect new recruits.

Time training and replenishing prisoners, it has been snatched up by other troops.

Seeing Zhang Haitao speechless, Liu Yimin was a little surprised. Could it be that this guy is not interested in the expansion of the troops? It’s impossible! He said, “What’s wrong, what’s the problem?”

Zhang Haitao thought about it and still expressed his worries. When Liu Yimin heard this, he was indeed the case. However, now there are so many people in the Seventh Army, and he is still afraid that there will be no soldiers. He directly said to Zhang Haitao: "From nine infantry regiments and workers."

The infantry battalions of the corps and the artillery regiment draw one platoon each, and they need to draw backbone platoons with strong training and strong work style. In this way, your five companies will have two more platoons, and one of these two platoons will be arranged as the commander and guard of the army.

One platoon is under the command of Minister Hu. Go to Director Cai and ask him to immediately issue an order to draw troops. In addition, the guard battalion has not had an instructor. You tell Director Cai that Liu Lizhi from the transfer staff office is appointed as the instructor of the guard battalion. The transfer of 11th Division 31

Li Zongrui from the Second Battalion of the Regiment was appointed as the deputy battalion commander of the Guard Battalion, and Lu Maotian from the Third Battalion was appointed as the deputy instructor. Chen Zixu from the Logistics Department was transferred to the Staff Office to take over Liu Lizhi's work. Listen to me, my guard

The battalion must be put into the battlefield at a critical moment and be the last straw that overwhelms the enemy. You must make it into a sharp knife and a heavy hammer. If you lead my guard battalion into a master soldier, a soft egg, a like

Like the original Central Guard Division, I don’t say it, you know what the consequences will be.”

Zhang Haitao immediately stood up and saluted: "Please rest assured that the guard battalion should be a model battalion for the entire army. No matter which immortal he is, as long as the commander of the army, the guard battalion will also be till the sea of ​​swords and fires.

he!"

Liu Yimin nodded: "Remember to fit mortars and heavy machine guns, and train according to the requirements of the training manual. Go!"

In this way, another heroic unit that shocked the enemy's courage was born! A new guard battalion, which was drawn to form the backbone of each unit, was called Liu Yimin by the National Army and the Japanese Army, just like the Special Forces Brigade and the six old backbone battalions.

The eight tigers under his command do the job of eating Japanese meat and drinking Japanese blood, which makes the enemy frightened. Of course, this is a later story.

The General Command of the Red Fourth Front Army of Bazhong County, the leaders of the Four-way Army who received the order to go south to Chengdu Plain to fight from the Central Revolutionary Military Commission are discussing the action plan.

In October 1932, due to Zhang Guotao's heavy sanctions and wrong command, the Fourth Red Front Army failed to break the enemy's fourth encirclement and suppression of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area. On October 10, Zhang Guotao held an emergency meeting in Huangchaifan, Huang'an County and decided to

Some troops remained in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, and the main force advanced westward. On November 11, the General Command of the Red Fourth Front Army led four main divisions, including 10, 11, 12, 73, and the Young Communist International Group, about 20,000 people, and the Beijing-Hanzhou-Hanzhou-West.

The railway moved westward. After thousands of difficulties and dangers, more than 5,000 people were reduced, and they settled on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border and established the Sichuan-Shaanxi base.

At this time, the Red Fourth Front Army had crushed the enemy's siege and carried out three-month training. The entire army expanded to 5 armies, 11 divisions, 32 regiments, about 50,000 people. Among them, the Red Fourth Army had 10 divisions under its jurisdiction.

,11th Division, 10th Division is under the jurisdiction of the 28th, 30th, 34th, 36th Regiments, 11th Division is under the jurisdiction of the 31st, 32th, 33rd Regiments; Red Ninth Army is under the jurisdiction of the 25th Division, 27th Division, 25th Division is under the jurisdiction of 73, 74, 75th Regiments, and 27th Division is under the jurisdiction of 79th

,80,81st Regiment; Red 30th Army is under the jurisdiction of the 88th Division, 89th Division, 90th Division, 88th Division is under the jurisdiction of 263,265,268th Division is under the jurisdiction of 262,264,266th Regiment, and the 90th Division is under the jurisdiction of 267,269,270th Regiment; Red 31st Army is under the jurisdiction of 91st Division, 93rd Division, 91st Division

The 272,273,275th Regiment, the 93rd Division is under the jurisdiction of 271,274,279th Regiment; the Red 33rd Army is under the jurisdiction of the 98th Division, the 99th Division, the 98th Division is under the jurisdiction of 294,295th Regiment, and the 99th Division is under the jurisdiction of 296,297th Regiment.

At this time, the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area had already taken shape, and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Soviet Government were established. The highest leadership body of the Red Army was the Northwest Military and Political Committee, Chairman Zhang Guotao, Vice Chairman Chen Changhao, and Xu Xiangqian. The Northwest Military and Political Committee was in charge of the Red Fourth Front Army and Sichuan.

Various local armed forces of the Red Army in Shaanxi Province. Chen Changhao, political commissar of the Red Fourth Front Army, Xu Xiangqian, deputy commander-in-chief Wang Shusheng, and chief of staff Ni Zhiliang.

Historically, after the Zunyi Conference, in order to get rid of the enemy's encirclement and interception, on January 22, the Central Committee ordered the Fourth Red Army to go west to the Jialing River to restrain the enemy. Considering that the Central Red Army was under too much pressure, there were many leaders accompanying him, in order to avoid the revolution.

There were even greater losses. The Fourth Front Army attacked in the direction of Guangyuan and launched the Guangzhao Battle with the purpose of establishing a base at the border of Sichuan and Gansu. After encountering obstacles, it turned to southern Shaanxi, and then returned to the army to launch the battle of forcing the Jialing River, achieving a great victory of annihilated more than 10,000 enemies.

.Then he decisively gave up the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area and led the retreating cadres of the base area to a total of 100,000 people to expedition the west again.

Due to the emergence of Liu Yimin, this period of history is impossible to repeat.

Now, after receiving a telegram from the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the leaders of the Fourth Red Army learned that the Central Red Army had entered Sichuan in large numbers and occupied Chengdu.

After reading the telegram, Chen Changhao was extremely excited and immediately said to Commander-in-Chief Xu Xiangqian: "Comrade Xiangqian, the Central Red Army occupied Chengdu, and the western Sichuan plain is ours. I want to report to Chairman Zhang immediately, you should consider the combat plan quickly."

Xu Xiangqian is a taciturn person, which is inversely proportional to the enthusiastic Chen Changhao. He pondered: "So that's the case. I told you why the Sichuan army in front of you have moved closer to each other and hugged each other in the past few days. It turned out that he was afraid that we would be with us.

The Central Red Army attacked them from two lines. To see this way, we will not have much resistance to going down to the Chengdu Plain, and the Sichuan Army may have become a frightened bird. If we encounter our army's attack, they may not be able to defend. Comrade Changhao, please hurry up and look at Chairman Zhang

Report, our original combat plan seems to be no longer needed now."

Chen Changhao went to Zhang Guotao to ask for instructions. Xu Xiang looked ahead and thought: Liu Yimin, the commander of the Red Seventh Army, led his army to occupy Chengdu? Isn’t the Seventh Army no longer there? Liu Yimin, I have never heard of when will our Red Army be released?

Such a powerful general? You dare to follow Zunyi to attack Chengdu, you have the courage to be brave! You have the chance to get to know him.

He Guoguang has arrived in Chongqing. What made him extremely depressed was that Liu Xiang actually avoided him. This little guy has arrived at what time, and the Red Bandits have occupied Chengdu. Seeing that the western Sichuan plain is red, you

Still have the intention to play hide-and-seek with the central government?

Thinking about the anxious eyes of the Nanjing commissioner and the anxiously waiting for the pursuit of the army on the Chishui River, He Guoguang was very angry. The state affairs reached such a level because there were too many warlords like Liu Xiang who did not obey the central government's orders and fish meat

The people will harm the local area. If the people had not thought that the Red Bandits could not kill each other before they were destroyed, they would have really let the commission mobilize the army and destroy these bad guys.

It is not a solution to do it, so He Guoguang decided to go straight to Liu Xiang's Bandit Suppression General Headquarters to block him and see what he said.

It really blocked He Guoguang. Liu Xiang was at the Bandit Suppression Headquarters at this time, waiting for news about Xian Ying.

In fact, Liu Xiang was having a good time at this time. The joy was that the Gan bandits gave up Yibin, and Pan Wenhua's troops had already entered, which showed that the Gan bandits were likely to have passed by in a hurry. It seems that there is still hope to use negotiations to resolve the problem.

The main force of the Gan bandits suddenly started between Leshan and Chengdu, opening warehouses and grain on a large scale, dividing land and mobilizing young and middle-aged people to join the Red Army. If this continues, wouldn’t the Gan bandits develop and grow very quickly?

If they don’t leave then, what can they do with them?

Liu Xiang, who was in a state of joy and anger, was eager to see Xian Ying reply, saying that what was the plan of the Gan bandits? He had to figure it out quickly.

When He Guoguang broke in, Liu Xiang was thinking hard. When he heard the guards stopping and He Guoguang's roar, Liu Xiang knew that it would be impossible to see him.

Seeing He Guoguang, Liu Xiang smiled all over his face, stepped forward and grabbed He Guoguang's hand, and said affectionately: "Brother Yuanzhang, are you okay? Come on, sit down and have a tea. It's rare to see an old classmate.

ah!"

He Guoguang's face turned pale, straight to the point, and went straight to the point: "Fu Cheng, the Red Bandits have occupied Chengdu, and the western Sichuan plain is in ruins. Do you still have the mood to hide and drink tea? Tell me directly why you refuse Xue Yue's troops to enter Sichuan to suppress the bandits

?”

Liu Xiang's face still had a smile: "Brother Yuanzhang, sit down and have tea first, I'll tell you slowly."

After He Guoguang sat down, Liu Xiang personally brewed tea for him, and then he said slowly: "This place in Chongqing is hot in summer like a stove, and the fog in winter can hit the wall when you go out. It's really not a good place.

Brother Zhang, I have worked hard all the way. Come and have a cup of tea to quench your thirst.”

He Guoguang knew that his old classmate was no longer the old countryside, but the warlord leader who held heavy troops and dominated the country. Although the commissioner was in a hurry, he had to grasp it well and he had to say it slowly.

You can't get angry, and it will be difficult to end if you mess up.

So, He Guoguang picked up the teacup and sipped it, saying, "Good tea, I have traveled all over the country. When it comes to drinking tea, it is still a comfortable way for Sichuan people to drink!"

When Liu Xiang heard this, he said good things and diligently restored the water for He Guoguang.

When Liu Xiang continued to go to the water, He Guoguang said, "Fu Cheng, water is good water, tea is good tea. Unfortunately, now is not the time for you and my brothers to taste tea and reminisce about the past. It's strange that during the Battle of Xiangjiang River, the Red Bandits

It was a river of blood, and the bodies of the Red Bandits were everywhere. The people in the lower reaches of the Xiang River had been saying that they would not eat Xiangjiang fish for ten years. Judging from the scene at that time, the Red Bandits lost at least half of them, and were in panic like a dog that was stranded. They were left behind and captured.

, there were many people who escaped and were arrested. But after arriving at the passage, the red bandit suddenly became like a dead person resurrected, and suddenly had spiritual energy, destroying three divisions of Liu Jianxu's army, attacking Zunyi, and even Xue Yue suffered a loss.
