Xiaojiang was shocked to learn that two divisions of Wu Qiwei's direct line and eight regiments of Wang Jiali of the Guizhou Army were mostly annihilated by the Red Army.
The Red Army, which only had less than 30,000 troops, could actually achieve such results. Could it be that all of his men were a bunch of trash?
In such an advantageous situation, they could not beat the Red Army.
Just 30,000 pigs, the Red Army couldn't kill them all in one day!
The battle ended like this, and Xiaojiang almost fainted from anger.
It's not okay to continue like this. In order to save the situation, Xiaojiang plans to take action personally.
He hurriedly led Chief of Staff Chen and the Director of the Attendant Room to fly to Chongqing on March 2 to take personal command, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Red Army in the Baqian Avenue area west of Wujiang River.
The micro-manipulation master has come out, so the Red Army has to be careful.
On March 3, Xiaojiang issued an order to the armies stationed in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces: "I have stationed in Chongqing. All our armies stationed in Sichuan and Guizhou are under my unified command. Without my order, they are not allowed to advance or retreat without authorization. The terms of reference are agreed upon. mission accomplished."
Xiaojiang's order can be said to have directly taken away the military power of Wang Jialie and Prime Minister Liu.
Wang Jialie naturally did not dare to have any objections. After all, there were not many troops left under his direct control. If he wanted to continue to maintain his position in Guizhou Province, he had to rely on Xiaojiang's support.
You know, he is not the only warlord in Guizhou Province now.
On the other side, Liu Xiang was naturally unhappy.
But Xiaojiang has already arrived in Yucheng in person, and he can only choose to cooperate since he is so close.
Now that there are only more than 20,000 people left in the Red Front Army, annihilation can be said to be inevitable.
In addition, the Central Revolutionaries of the Red Army are also following the Red Army. Once they are wiped out, the Red Army will completely lose its backbone, and the Red Army in other places will not be a concern.
By then, Xiaojiang will really be the only one in the family.
If he pricks her now, depending on Xiaojiang's urine, he might have to kill him and the Red Army.
Ever since, Liu Xiang chose to obey the order.
...
Xiaojiang didn't care what they thought, he just gave orders. Judging from the current situation, no one dared to openly disobey Xiaojiang, except for the Red Army.
On the same day, an order was issued to deploy defense against Wujiang River.
The troops of Xu Yuanquan, He Jian, and Wu Qiwei were ordered to unite the First Division of the Guizhou Army and the militia to guard the front line of Wujiang River to prevent the First Red Army from advancing eastward and joining the Second and Sixth Red Army Corps.
On the 5th, Xue Yue's Zhou Hunyuan column was ordered to build blockhouses on the front line of Changganshan and Tanchang for defense.
Wu Qiwei's column assembled at Zhenxiwei, Lannigou, Xiuwen, Xifeng, Daobanshui and other places;
The Wang family's troops gathered to build a new drum playing area and build forts to guard:
Sundu's troops deployed defenses in Bijie, Qianxi, and Dading:
Guo Xunqi and Shangguan Yunxiang were ordered to attack Zunyi.
Taking personal command this time, Xiaojiang still adopted the tactics used in the four encirclement and suppression campaigns.
The bunker policy was combined with key offensives, and the tactics of defending from the south and attacking from the north were used in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Red Army in the Zunyi and Yaxi areas.
On the one hand, the Red Army used part of its force to take advantage of the favorable terrain of Loushanguan to prevent the enemy from advancing southward;
On the one hand, we seek to annihilate the enemy on the move in the Yaxi area of Zunyi.
However, the enemy was frightened due to the loss of territory and troops, and was cautious at all times. The Red Army failed to fight many times.
On March 4, the Chinese revolutionaries decided to form the former enemy headquarters in Yaxi.
On March 13, the Central Revolution sent a telegram to all field armies to once again clarify the Red Army's strategic policy.
The telegram stated: "...our field army will still focus on northern Guizhou as its main area of activity, and should control the upper reaches of the Chishui River as a transfer hub, with the main goal of destroying the Xue Yue Corps and Wang Jialie's troops. We must attack the Sichuan and Yunnan enemies in a favorable and urgent manner. Only fight against them under certain conditions, hoping to eliminate one of them."
"According to this policy, the Military Commission decided to move our field army to the southwest, in order to mobilize the Zhou and Wu columns to maneuver during the battle to transfer and eliminate the Wang family's troops, and quickly seize and control the crossing points in the upper reaches of the Chishui River to facilitate the battle. .”
On March 13, Wu Qiwei's two divisions crossed the Wujiang River and entered the Yaxi area.
The Red Army moved to the vicinity of Changgan Mountain on the 14th to prepare to ambush the enemy.
The First Red Army and the Third Red Army joined forces and prepared to annihilate Wu Qiwei's two divisions here, thus giving Xiaojiang a big slap in the face.
However, Wu's enemies did not dare to advance lightly, so the ambush failed.
When the ambush failed, the Military Commission immediately decided to attack Zhou Hunyuan's column stationed in Lubanchang.
The Red Army attacked Luban Field, which made Xiaojiang conclude that the Red Army would undoubtedly advance westward.
So he mobilized troops and generals, planning to gather the Red Army in Lubanchang and its surrounding areas on the east bank of the Chishui River.
However, Xiaojiang didn't know that the Red Army's attack was just to attract his attention and let him mobilize his troops according to the Red Army's intention.
In order to continue to mobilize the enemy forces in Sichuan and Guizhou, the Military Commission ordered the Red Army field troops to withdraw from the battle at 22:00 on the 15th, break away from the enemy in Lubanchang, and march at night to Maotai, Renhuai, Tiechang (on the east bank of the Chishui River belonging to Guizhou), Regional shift at the mouth of the creek;
At the same time, it was decided to attack the Maotai Town and Xiaohekou areas on the east bank of the Chishui River before the 16th, set up a pontoon bridge to cross the Chishui River to the west and then return to southern Sichuan, and mobilize the Jiangjun army and enemy troops from Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to the area west of the Chishui River to facilitate Seek new maneuvers.
That night, the main force of the Red Army caught the enemy by surprise and quickly broke away from the Zhou Hunyuan column facing them. They assembled from Lubanchang, Changganshan, Tanchang and other areas to Maotai and its surrounding areas by the Chishui River.
On the morning of March 16, the leading teaching battalion of the First Red Army occupied Maotai Town.
The main force of the First Red Army also entered Maotai Town at 15:00 on the same day, and built a pontoon bridge at each of the upper, middle and lower ferry crossings. The teaching battalion and a regiment immediately crossed the Chishui River to control the west bank ferry.
In compliance with the order of the Central Revolutionary Committee at 18:00 on March 16, all units of the Red Army began to cross the Chishui River one by one in the afternoon of that day (three crossings of Chishui), and the entire army completed the crossing at noon on the 17th.
Xiaojiang's wishful thinking of encircling the Red Army in the Lupanchang area failed again.
After the Red Army crossed the Chishui River three times from Maotai, it divided into two groups and once again entered Shibaozhai, Lianghekou (Dangui), Huanghua, and Tiechang in the densely forested eastern and southeastern areas of Gulin County in southern Sichuan. , Yacha, Zhenlongshan, Yucha, Shijiakou, Zoumaba, Gaoliba, Yudonggou, Dacun, Zhengfeng Temple, Qianhuan, Walnutba and other areas.
On the one hand, they mobilized the masses to fight local tyrants, divide their property, suppress counterrevolutionaries, expand the Red Army, and pretend to cross the Yangtze River north to confuse the enemy and lure them to attack.
While replenishing supplies, pack lightly again to fully prepare for new maneuvers.
In this way, Xiaojiang was like a dog, being slipped away by the Red Army, but there was nothing he could do against the Red Army.
...
PS: Remember to eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls during the Winter Solstice.
I wish you all a happy family.
The Fourth Crossing of Chishui is so classic that we didn’t dare to change it randomly, so we quickly skipped these two.
