In view of this, the Red Army gave up its plan to establish a new base area and instead established a base area in northwest Sichuan.
The proposal was approved by the majority.
However, Xiaojiang is not a fool. Not only can such an obvious strategic intention not be hidden from him, but even the landlords and wealthy people in the border areas of Sichuan Province know that the Red Army is coming.
These local tyrants and evil gentry in Sichuan Province moved their families one after another, and they also remitted their funds to multinational banks in Shanghai.
This frightened Liu Xiang, the great warlord of Sichuan Province, and you gang of local tycoons fled with their money. I will ask who will collect taxes in the future?
What worries him even more is that if the Red Army enters Sichuan Province, then Xiaojiang will have reason to let his troops enter Sichuan and take away his territory in Sichuan Province.
Therefore, Prime Minister Liu decided to fight to the death against the Red Army's entry into Sichuan.
...
On January 19, the Red 1st, Red 3rd, Red 5th, and Red 9th Corps departed from the Zunyi, Tongzi, and Songkan areas in three groups and headed toward Tucheng and Chishui.
On the first route, the Red Army set out from the north of Tucheng and focused on Chishui County, the only place to cross the Yangtze River north.
The second route, the Ninth Red Army Corps, started from Xishui County and cooperated with the First Red Army Army in attacking in the east.
The Third Red Army Corps and the Fifth Red Army Corps followed closely behind, sharing the task of guarding Zhongge.
Chishui County is located in the northwest corner of Guizhou Province, on the border between Guizhou Province and Sichuan Province. Only by capturing this place can the Red Army move northward into southern Sichuan.
The Second Red Division and Yang Dingguo's Red 100th Regiment were responsible for attacking Tucheng. The Second Red Division was the main force. Yang Dingguo led the Red 100th Regiment to assist. After all, there were so many new recruits who had to get used to it. The battlefield is the best place to sharpen your sword. stone.
The 1st Red Division was responsible for attacking Chishui, with both groups advancing simultaneously.
The defenders of Tucheng fled upon hearing the news, and the Second Red Division easily captured Tucheng.
On the other side, the Red Army originally believed that even if the Sichuan Army was not as easy to defeat as the Guizhou Army's double-gun soldiers (with a rifle in one hand and a pipe in the other), a local miscellaneous army would not be too powerful in combat effectiveness. They sent the main force of the First Red Army first The Second Division and the Second Division were outflanked in two ways, trying to capture Chishui County as soon as possible.
But what he didn't expect was that when they actually fought against the Sichuan Army, they found that the combat effectiveness of this unit was almost as good as that of the regular army.
Moreover, the Sichuan army is relatively united. As long as a battle breaks out in one place, the Sichuan army from other places will come for reinforcements.
When the First Red Army Corps was in a stalemate with the Sichuan Army in Chishui County, a steady stream of Sichuan troops from other places had already arrived for reinforcements, so they had to postpone their offensive. In the end, Chishui County was not captured.
As for the Red Ninth Army Corps, which served as flank cover, when they went to Chishui County to reinforce the Red First Army Army, they also encountered the Sichuan Army's reinforcements and suffered a defeat.
At the same time, like a cunning and astute wild wolf, the Sichuan Army's Guo Xunji Division quietly bypassed the Red 1st and 9th Red Army Corps and moved towards the hinterland of northern Guizhou. It suddenly appeared behind the Central Revolutionary Army and was rapidly approaching the Red Army's main force.
The leaders of the Central Revolution did not expect that this was the first time they encountered such a cunning and miscellaneous army, and they would actually go to other people's territory to fight with the Red Army.
Although everyone was greatly surprised at this moment, they quickly calmed down. In order not to increase worries for the Red 1st Red 9th Army Corps, which was mainly attacking Chishui County, Zhongge decided to eat this Sichuan Army.
Therefore, when marching to Tucheng, the Zhongge decided to gather the main forces of the Third and Fifth Red Army, a total of more than 10,000 people, to get rid of Guo Xunqi's follower.
There are valleys on both sides of the road to Tucheng. If the pursuer goes deep alone, the Red Army can use the favorable terrain of the valleys on both sides to concentrate superior forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
At this time, the Red Army intercepted the Sichuan Army's telegram on the 26th and learned that the enemy in pursuit only had the strength of three regiments of Guo Xunqi's department, with more than 6,000 men.
The enemy only has about 6,000 people, so we can't eat it.
The Zhongge Army immediately made up its mind and ordered the 2nd Red Division north of Tucheng Town to continue northward and seize Chishui City with the 1st Red Division, which had already arrived at Wanglongchang.
With 3 divisions of the 3rd Red Army Corps, they occupied the southern high ground from 607.5 to Yangliuzhuang, 5 kilometers northeast of the territorial city. With 2 divisions of the 5th Red Army Corps, they occupied the northern highlands from Qinggangpo to Yiwanshui. They attacked and annihilated Guo Xunqi's Department from the north and south;
Yang Dingguo still had some impressions of this battle, but he couldn't remember the specific details of the battle. Therefore, he did not follow the Second Red Division to Chishui City, but returned to plan a sneak attack!
In the early morning of the 28th, it was drizzling and the wind was biting.
There is a natural barrier three kilometers away from Tucheng, called Qinggangpo. This is a dangerous pass sandwiched between two peaks. A winding mountain road goes along the pass. The Sichuan army must pass through it if they want to reach Tucheng. Qinggangpo.
The 3rd and 5th Red Army Corps were ambushing on both sides of Qinggangpo, preparing for an "ambush battle."
The Red Army is making intensive preparations.
On the other side, the Guo Flood Season Department of the Sichuan Army is about to enter the encirclement of the Red Army.
Looking at the two hills not far away, Guo Xunqi always felt that he was a little too calm. He immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing and picked up his telescope to carefully observe the situation ahead.
Looking at the winding mountain road, Guo Xunqi frowned. This road was not easy to walk.
If the Red Army set up an ambush on these two hills, they would suffer heavy losses.
Guo Xunqi was a talented general. Before entering Guizhou to pursue the Red Army, he went out of his way to understand the Red Army's fighting methods. He was familiar with the Red Army's ambush tactics.
After thinking about it, for the sake of safety, Guo Xunqi did not plan to march on the path at the foot of Qinggangpo Mountain, but planned to drive the army directly onto the slope of Qinggangpo.
It can only be said that Guo Xunqi's caution saved his life.
In this way, a unique battle scene came into view. The two armies did not fight near the open and flat Tucheng, nor did they fight on the winding path at the foot of Qinggang Slope. Instead, they appeared invariably on Qinggang Slope. The commanding heights of the mountain top - the top of the camp.
The strength of the two armies was evenly matched, so Yingpanding was constantly lost and regained, gained and lost again in the tug-of-war between the Red Army and the Sichuan Army.
