"Crash..."
The light rain at night became heavier and heavier, causing the water level of the Dadu River to continue to rise. The river water in this section of Anshunchang was originally a little calm, but now it has become turbulent and violent, and it is no longer suitable for crossing the river.
The soldiers of the Fourth Red Regiment naturally did not believe in fate. They tried desperately several times but failed to erect the pontoon bridge across the river. Every time it was half-way through the erection, it would be washed away by the rushing river water.
Seeing this scene, Captain Geng was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to ask the troops to stop erecting the pontoon bridge, then report to the superiors and wait for orders.
At the same time, the main force and cadre regiment of the 1st Red Division also rushed to Anshun Field, and the follow-up main force was not far away. However, the pontoon across the river had not yet been erected. Commander Chen of the 1st Red Division immediately issued a death order, and it must be done before Before Zhongge arrived, the pontoon bridge across the river was erected.
But when Master Chen saw the rapid current of the Dadu River with his own eyes, he had no choice but to give up the order to build a pontoon bridge across the river.
Facing such turbulent water flow, it was almost impossible to build a pontoon bridge across the river, not to mention that they did not have professional tools.
As time went by, more and more Red Army troops gathered in Anshun Field.
But with only a dozen small boats, it was impossible for all the Red Army to cross the river in a short time, and it was impossible without three or four days.
The 53rd Division of Xue Yuebu, Xiaojiang's direct unit, which was chasing the Red Army, had arrived in the north of Xichang and was heading towards the Red Army.
Yang Tie's 20th Army and the pursuit troops of the "Chuan-Kang Border Army" were only a few days away from the Red Army.
If tens of thousands of Red Army troops just crossed ship by ship at Anshun Field, they would face huge dangers and might even be wiped out.
The Sichuan army is also heading towards the Dadu River.
Based on this situation, Zhongge and other leaders held a small meeting, at which the decision was made to quickly capture Luding Bridge.
Only after quickly capturing the Luding Bridge can the large Red Army troops quickly cross the river.
The actions of the First Red Army were deployed. The main force of the First Red Division and the Cadre Regiment formed the right column. After crossing the Dadu River from Anshun Field, they marched north along the east bank towards Luding Bridge. In case they could not join the main force of the Red Army, they would Go to western Sichuan to create a situation.
The Second Red Division, the First Army Corps Headquarters and the Fifth Army Corps formed the left column and rushed along the west bank of the Dadu River towards Luding Bridge.
It is three hundred and twenty miles from Anshun Field to Luding Bridge, and it is limited to arrival within three days.
The task is very difficult, but all Red Army soldiers hold a determination to win in their hearts!
...
Anshun Field was captured by the Red Army, who had already begun to cross the river.
After hearing the news, Xiaojiang was so angry that she couldn't even eat.
He scolded the Sichuan troops on the Dadu River defense line from top to bottom, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the facts had happened. The Red Army had now begun to cross the river, and the various troops could not arrive at Anshun Field in time in a short period of time. Then the next step was to I can find a solution elsewhere.
Looking at the positions of the various troops on the map and the terrain behind the Dadu River, Xiaojiang and his staff began to study day and night.
At this moment, the delivery of a telegram made Xiaojiang return her gaze to the Dadu River.
It rained heavily in the Dadu River area, the water level rose and the water flow became turbulent.
The Sichuan Army troops stationed in the Dadu River had already cleared the boats on the Dadu River.
At this time, it was impossible for the Red Army to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river. Even if they could find ships, the number would not be too many. It was impossible for the tens of thousands of Red Army troops to complete the crossing in a short period of time.
After receiving this telegram, the smile returned to Xiaojiang's face. He laughed while holding the telegram, and at the same time he praised the Sichuan Army.
"Hahaha......"
"This is really God helping me. God is helping me this time. Let's see how you Red Army can escape from my grasp!"
"Mother Xipi, I don't think the Sichuan army is stupid. They also know how to destroy ships in advance."
...
Continuing to study the terrain around the Dadu River, Xiaojiang set her sights on the Luding Bridge.
The Red Army's plan to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river was no longer feasible. If they wanted to cross the river before their encirclement was formed, they had to take the Luding Bridge, because only the Luding Bridge was the closest to Anshun Field.
But even so, Luding Bridge is still more than 300 miles away from the Anshun Factory, and he can build a defense line at Luding Bridge one step ahead of the Red Army.
Now the people who can reach Luding Bridge the fastest are the Sichuan troops, because their troops are closest to Luding Bridge and can reach Luding Bridge in the shortest time.
The combat effectiveness of his direct troops is indeed strong, but they cannot reach the battlefield in a short time, so now they can only rely on the Sichuan Army.
Xiaojiang is still very confident about the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is indeed not weak.
In the previous battle at Qinggangpo, the main force of the Red Army was almost annihilated.
On the other hand, the Red Army is now going to enter Sichuan Province and enter the territory of the Sichuan Army. Naturally, they will not let the Red Army enter so easily. They will definitely do their best to stop or annihilate the Red Army.
As the old saying goes, don't let others snore where you sleep!
So Xiaojiang hurriedly mobilized the two closest brigades of the Sichuan Army towards Luding Bridge for reinforcements, and ordered them to arrive at Luding Bridge to set up defenses before the Red Army arrived.
At the same time, the defenders originally stationed at Luding Bridge were asked to remove all the wooden boards on the bridge, leaving only a few iron locks. This greatly increased the difficulty for the Red Army to cross the bridge.
In Xiaojiang's view, with two brigades of troops stationed and the natural dangers of the Luding Bridge, it is absolutely impossible for the Red Army to successfully cross the bridge today.
Once the Red Army is held back, it only needs to wait for its subsequent reinforcements to arrive, and it can annihilate the Red Army at Luding Bridge in one fell swoop.
After deducing it several times on the sand table, Xiaojiang only felt that the success of her plan was getting higher and higher.
The thought of the Red Army, which had troubled him for several years, was about to be annihilated, made him smile from ear to ear all day long.
At the same time, we also set our sights on the few remaining warlords in the country. After all, after the Red Army has wiped them out, they will have to be attacked.
You are the boss, listen to me and you can still enjoy glory and wealth.
Don't listen to me?
Sorry, then you will end up like the Red Army.
Opening the champagne early is not a good sign.
Scored twice.
Our little Jiang didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
...
On the other side, after crossing the river with the cadre group, the First Red Division quickly rushed towards Luding City as ordered. Yang Dingguo was also among them, but he did not go to Luding City, but rushed towards Luding Bridge.
The Red Army can indeed capture the Luding Bridge, but it will pay a heavy price. It will attack from behind, which can also reduce the casualties of the Red Army soldiers.
The Zhongge did not give orders to Yang Dingguo, so there was no such thing as disobedience on the battlefield.
Furthermore, it is said that the Chinese revolution had previously given Yang Dingguo autonomy in action.
