Chapter 114: Battle of Fujia (9)
After a forced landing in the remnants of the First Brigade, the 13th Division was left to clean the battlefield. Liu Jian led the main force of the 12th Division and the legion to quickly move northward and join the battle to annihilate the Second Brigade of Hu Zongnan.
After the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing in the south stopped, Hu Zongnan, Peng Qibiao, and Hu Shouqian all understood that the First Brigade and the Independent Brigade were finished, and the final time was about to arrive.
Sure enough, the Red Army began to shout: "Listen to the Second Brigade, brothers from the opposite side, we are the Seventh Corps of the Chinese Workers and Peasants' Red Army. We have eliminated your cavalry regiment, the First Brigade, the Independent Brigade and the Northwest Supplementary Brigade. Now order you to let go.
Weapons, stop resisting to avoid unnecessary casualties. We guarantee your personal safety!”
As soon as the Red Army's call ended, a company commander of the Second Brigade jumped out and shouted: "Listen to the Red Bandits on the opposite side, I am the No. 1 division in the world. If you have the will, you can rush up and try it. If you want me to surrender, there is no way!"
After falling, several heavy machine guns on the Red Army's position fired at the same time, directly knocking the company commander into pieces. Now, the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade became honest and no one dared to stick their heads out and answer again.
When Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan arrived at the battlefield, the Second Brigade had been completely compressed into the Cuiyun Gate, and the officers and soldiers were all crawling on the narrow stone pavement, relying on the cover of big trees to make final resistance.
Look at the sky, it will be clear in another hour, and the enemy's plane is likely to fly to bomb. Liu Yimin decided not to wait anymore, and directly took a horn made of iron and shouted loudly: "Hu Zongnan, the commander of the First Division of the National Army.
Listen, I am Liu Yimin, the commander of the Red Seventh Army. Your principal offered a reward of one million silver dollars. Our army has long stated that the Red Army will go north to fight against Japan. Anyone who encircles and pursues the Red Army and obstructs the anti-Japanese war will be regarded as a traitor. We will firmly
To destroy it. You are a Whampoa soldier and have a certain revolutionary spirit. You will not be willing to engrave the words traitor on the tombstone after death, right? You will not be willing to all your brothers in the second brigade to be buried with you in the name of traitors, forever
Can't you enter the ancestral grave? If you are a man, you should die on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War and be a national hero! If you choose to surrender, I guarantee the safety of your lives and are willing to send you back to Nanjing and on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War in the future
Side by side with you and show your power outside the country. If you do not surrender, I will wipe out your troops within half an hour. I will give you 5 minutes to consider. Once the time comes, our army will carry out a firepower saturation strike.
Don't leave. Start timing now."
After hearing the call, Hu Zongnan had the intention to dig Liu Yimin's ancestral tomb. No wonder the principal offered a reward of one million to get his head. This guy is too vicious! Just fight, fight with anti-Japanese war, and talk nonsense with traitors.
?I am a traitor when I beat the Red Bandit, can you be a national hero when you beat the Red Bandit? However, after hatred, Hu Zongnan knew that Liu Yimin's words were very lethal. The officers and soldiers may not be afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will be regarded as traitors after death
, if you can't enter the ancestral tomb, you will live for a lifetime!
For a moment, Hu Zongnan was full of thoughts and was complicated. If he surrendered, what would he have to see the principal in the future? What would he have to gain a foothold in the military? If he did not surrender, the Red Bandits' shells would immediately be like dealing with independent brigades and supplementary brigades.
It was like hail and smashing it on my head, and the remaining brothers in my second brigade were probably not alive. Think about how I had fought for years since I left home and joined Huangpu, and my contributions were getting more and more, and my position was getting higher and higher. When did I think about it?
Will end up like this! What should I do? Or not?
Peng Qibiao and Hu Shouqian looked at Hu Zongnan anxiously, waiting for the master to make a decision. If he hesitated, the Red Bandit shells would fall down and everyone would have to finish playing together.
Hu Zongnan looked at the anxious Peng Qibiao and Hu Shouqian, then looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers crawling underground and hiding behind the trees, cursing Liu Yimin in his heart, just rushing up and captives, why bother surrendering? He insisted on forcing himself to do so.
Can't I lose the principal's face? I sighed secretly, and Hu Zongnan ordered the radio operator to send a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek: "After students meet the principal in Huangpu, they are like they meet the guiding lights in the dark night. They suddenly feel enlightened and follow the principal to work for the revolution.
Today, he was surrounded by heavy troops of the 7th Army of the Red Bandit Liu Yimin. The enemy's firepower was the only one that the students had seen since they joined the army. Now the main force has been lost, there is no hope of breaking the siege, and the enemy's general attack is imminent, and life and death are hanging between the front line. The students' momentum is in tandem with the Red Bandit to the end.
, determined to fight to the last soldier, and repay the principal's love with the heart of killing oneself and becoming a benevolent."
After dictating the telegram, Hu Zongnan ordered Peng Qibiao and Hu Shouqian to take control of the troops, break through in different directions, take out his pistols, and lead the guards of the division headquarters to rush out.
Peng Qibiao and Hu Shouqian saw through Hu Zongnan's thoughts at a glance. He would rather die than surrender. The two of them thought, it doesn't matter if you die, you can't implicate so many people to die with you! If you could break through, you would have broken through long ago.
Can you wait until now? This Red Bandit is really weird. It sieges all over the world, but does not charge forward, but only uses firepower to consume the opponent's strength. It seems that the next step is to talk with artillery fire and bullets until the Second Brigade is completely attacked
Until he was paralyzed. He was so fucking long-lasting. He rushed up and caught me. What's the point? Trouble! Anyway, rushing out is a bullet, hiding here is a shell, and hiding from the side and vertical, saving more energy
OK! The teacher is the same, what is going on to break through! Alas, it would be great if the teacher surrendered!
When Hu Zongnan was leading the guards to rush out, Peng Qibiao and Hu Shouqian had to bite the bullet and organize the troops to prepare for a breakthrough. Knowing that breaking through means getting shots, it was very difficult to organize the troops. After a while, five minutes passed.
Seeing that the time was coming, Hu Zongnan did not express his surrender. With a wave of his hand, the artillery regiment and the two divisions and the battalion's mortars were roaring. Each gun fired five times in a volley. The sound of the guns was not stopped, so he ordered the troops.
Launch a charge.
The general attack commanded the 11th Division, 12th Division, and the direct troops of the legion were stormed like a sea of ​​storms, sweeping from the left and right wings to the Cuiyun Corridor.
Zhang Haitao glanced at Liu Yimin, his eyes full of desire. Seeing that he was eager to fight, Liu Yimin nodded and said, "Go and catch Hu Zongnan back."
Zhang Haitao cheered and shouted: "Guardian Battalion, come on!" He led the entire battalion to Cuiyun Loang with instructor Liu Lizhi.
Wu Chenfeng is from Yangwan Village, Guangji County, Hubei Province and graduated from Wuchang Army Middle School. His family was originally relatively wealthy and had hundreds of acres of good paddy fields. Later, a powerful man in Guangji took a fancy to his paddy fields and insisted on buying them. Wu Chenfeng
Dad felt how could he sell his ancestral property? Isn’t this obvious bullying? He just sued the powerful man to the county government with a complaint. Unexpectedly, after the lawsuit came, the land became a powerful man, and Wu Chenfeng’s parents were also robbed by the police station.
He was killed for the crime. Wu Chenfeng saw through the National Government at a glance and directly became a Red Army and became a soldier of the 18th Red Regiment.
The troops won consecutive battles and expanded continuously, and cadres were promoted quickly. People like Wu Chenfeng who had studied in Army Middle School were naturally promoted faster. Now, he is already the first battalion of the 32nd Regiment of the Red 11th Division, which is the second company of the 4th Battalion of the Old Fourth Battalion.
Long.
Before the battle started, they were ambushed 600 meters east of Cuiyun Corridor. As soon as the enemy entered the ambushes, they quickly leaned forward and established a position 300 meters away from Cuiyun Corridor Shu Road. According to the deployment of the 11th Division, they have always used it.
Mortars, light and heavy machine guns greet the enemy. When the enemy charges, the soldiers are satisfied. Seeing that the 12th Division ended the battle and the 13th Division also ended the battle, Wu Chenfeng could no longer hold it back.
When he heard the charge, Wu Chenfeng roared and rushed up with the entire company. The soldiers rushed towards Cuiyun Lobby in a group of three people and groups of three groups.
He ran into Hu Zongnan's guard camp head-on.
Hu Zongnan's guard battalion was already in turmoil by artillery fire, and was no longer the heroic and proud elite before the war. However, when the Red Army arrived, in order to defend the division's seat, the incomplete guard battalion still suffocated the rest.
Brave and fight to the death.
Seeing the troops suffering casualties and their attacks were frustrated, Wu Chenfeng shouted loudly: "Lying down, drop bombs." The second company that was charging was lying on the ground in unison, and then a group of grenades threw at the enemy. Then there were light machine guns and submachine guns.
Open the way and use dense fire nets to press the enemy back to Cuiyun corridor.
The resistance of the guard battalion was limited, and it collapsed without persisting for long.
When Wu Chenfeng led the soldiers to rush onto the road of Cuiyunlang Shu Road, other troops rushed up, and the resistance of the Second Brigade had basically ended. Many soldiers from the Second Brigade were crawling on the ground and pretending to be dead, waiting to surrender.
Hu Zongnan was also hit by shrapnel, his body was covered in blood, and he lay under a big tree with his eyes closed, and he was still thinking in his heart that maybe this was the best ending.
Peng Qibiao and Hu Shouqian surrounded Hu Zongnan with a group of dejected officers. Seeing Wu Chenfeng rushing up with the Red Army soldiers, Peng Qibiao stood up and said, "I am Peng Qibiao, deputy commander of the First Division, and I ask your army to rescue our division seat as soon as possible."
When Zhang Haitao led the guard battalion to rush up, Hu Zongnan had been captured by the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 32nd Regiment, which made Zhang Haitao extremely depressed. He felt that the combat regiment was happy and was in front of the charge. He thought in his mind that the guard battalion would expand into
After the guard regiment, Li Chengyi was asked to be responsible for the safety of the leader, and he still took the main force of the guard regiment to fight a few tough battles, and then talk about it with great pleasure.
The results of the Hanyang ambush battle were as brilliant as it wiped out one division headquarters and four brigade headquarters of the First Division, a total of 13 regiments, 32,000 people, 13,253 enemies, and 18,747 people below the enemy commander Hu Zongnan. The captives were mainly from the enemy's independent brigade.
The replenishment of the troops directly under the brigade and division, the enemy's first brigade and the second brigade all suffered more than 60%. There are countless weapons and ammunition, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of accumulation.
The casualties of the Red Seventh Army mainly occurred in the battle of the 13th Division encircling and annihilation of the 1st Brigade. The 39th Regiment of the Red 13th Division, which was responsible for the task of blocking the enemy, was basically disabled under the desperate attack of the enemy's 1st Brigade. The regiment commander Zhou Yi was seriously injured and was in a field hospital.
Operation.
After reading the battle report, Liu Yimin was speechless. He knew that the reason why the 39th Regiment was severely damaged by the enemy was because the First Brigade had strong combat power, and the Second was because the 13th Division had insufficient heavy firepower. It seemed that the firepower of each regiment and camp must be strengthened.
Therefore, after the troops evacuated the battlefield, Liu Yimin immediately ordered the cavalry battalion of the legion to be upgraded to the cavalry regiment, the guard battalion was upgraded to the guard regiment, and the former battalion leader was directly promoted to the regiment leader. He ordered the 11th Division and the 12th Division to draw one company each, and the 13th Division followed the 37th Regiment
, 38th Regiment, the supplementary regiment each draws two companies and is incorporated into the 39th Regiment. Each division is ordered to collect mortars and heavy machine guns from Hu Zongnan's weapons. The division sets up a heavy firepower regiment, including two artillery battalions and two
The heavy machine gun battalion, the fire support battalion of each regiment and the fire support company of each regiment were also supplemented at one time. The 11th Division, 12th Division, the baggage regiment, and the engineering regiment were ordered to draw one battalion each to supplement the prisoners and form the Independent First Division of the Red Seventh Army
Feng Dafei was appointed as the division commander and political commissar, serving as the front line of Jianmen Pass. He ordered the reconnaissance company to quickly investigate Guangyuan, and each division replenishes ammunition and soldiers, rest for a day, and prepares to capture Guangyuan. All the excess uninjured prisoners were scattered into each
The troops, carry out education transformation.
That night, Chiang Kai-shek sat in the study. When Hu Zongnan's last telegram arrived, Chiang Kai-shek burst into tears. He knew that his beloved First Teacher had come to an end from now on.
It's this damn Liu Yimin again. I really don't know what material this guy made of. Last time, he was obviously not dead and was seriously injured. Why did he appear in Hanyang Town so quickly and his first division was wiped out. This person is not
Except, the country has no peace.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Air Force to dispatch, and he must find the main force of the Red Bandit Liu Yimin's army and blow them up and kill them all.
Thinking about the fact that in order to rescue Mianyang, Chiang Kai-shek actually joined the First Division. He felt that he was the biggest loser in this battle. He had to be regained. Therefore, he ordered Chen Cheng and Xue Yue to directly occupy Chengdu and quickly head north to capture Deyang, Mianyang, and in Mianyang.
The Red Bandits were encircled and annihilated under the city. The troops stationed in Guangyuan must be kept in a position and the Red Bandits must not cross the Jialing River and join Xu Xiangqian. The troops of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng of the Northeast Army, together with the troops of Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, and other troops of the Sichuan Army commanded by Liu Xiang, will be attacked.
Xu Xiang's front must destroy or defeat the enemy.
After receiving the good news that the Red Seventh Army had completely wiped out Hu Zongnan's First Division, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and others who had just arrived in Mianyang did not have time to rest, and immediately ordered Peng Dehuai to command the Red Seventh Army. The Fifth Army launched an attack on Tian Songyao's troops.
It was annihilated on the west bank of Jialing River; ordered the first legion to attack Langzhong immediately and eliminate the troops on the west bank of the Jialing River in Dengxihou's troops. Order the Ninth legion to keep small troops to monitor Mianyang, the main force rested in seclusion and waited for the fighter plane. After a brief rest, the Seventh legion would clear the west bank of Jialing River in Jiange County.
Defend the enemy and quickly send troops to capture Guangyuan.
What Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong did not expect was that due to the annihilation of the First Division, the situation of the war changed dramatically.
When Chiang Kai-shek received the order to rescue the First Division, Tian Songyao, the commander-in-chief of the Second Route of the Sichuan Army and the commander of the 29th Army, had already received a telegram from Li Jiayu and learned that the two divisions of the Third Route of the Third Route were defeated by the Red Third and Fifth Corps.
The main bandit force is likely to be moving to the south. Tian Songyao knew that if he hesitated, he would be in a catastrophe. Not only did he not send reinforcements to Jiange, he also did not stick to the southern county on the west bank of the Jialing River. He even planned to draw 10 regiments to reinforce Deng Xihou
All the plans were abandoned, and they acted overnight to collect all ships, and the entire army crossed the Jialing River. Tian Songyao's words were simple: "Even Chairman Jiang's First Division is over. I can still block Hong with my few broken guns from Lao Tian
bandit?"
Tian Songyao is very interesting. He sent a telegram to Deng Xihou when he retreated. Deng Xihou saw that the most likely reinforcement of Hu Zongnan's First Division had finished, and the defenders on the west bank of the Jialing River became alone, so he urgently ordered the Jiange defenders on the west bank of the Jialing River to evacuate quickly.
He crossed the Jialing River overnight, gathered towards Guangyuan, and ordered the Langzhong defenders to retreat immediately to Cangxi, echoing Guangyuan.
Therefore, when the Red Fifth Army rushed to the southern county town, they only saw the torch team that retreated to the east bank of the Jialing River. Dong Zhentang was so angry that he cursed Tian Songyao for no reason.
In desperation, Dong Zhentang sent a telegram to Peng Dehuai and the Red Army headquarters, and led his army to Langzhong regardless of fatigue, hoping to intercept some of the enemies in Langzhong. Who knew how far he had gone, and received a report: the enemy in Langzhong fled.
After dawn, the National Air Force dispatched a large number of planes to repeatedly investigate between Jianmen Pass and Jiange County to search for the main force of the Red Army. Unfortunately, the main force of the Red Army was missing, and the bodies of the National Army soldiers were everywhere on the Shu Road. The Red Army did not find it.
It was discovered that Tian Songyao's troops of the Sichuan Army had retreated across the Jialing River and that they also discovered the marching troops of Deng Xihou who fled from Jiange to Guangyuan.
In this way, from Mianyang to Guangyuan, from Jiangyou to the Jialing River, they all became the control areas of the Red Army.
After receiving the Air Force report, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely furious and ordered Liu Xiang to urge all Sichuan troops to defend the defense line. Those who violated the orders and retreated without authorization would be dismissed from office and investigated.
The matter was not over yet. As soon as He Jian sent a telegram to Liu Xiang, he called out that He Long and Xiao Ke's troops were frequently active and lacked troops. He asked to transfer Liu Jianxu to the two divisions that Xue Yue had entered to suppress him back to Hunan.
Before He Jian's telegram could be replied, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram saying that the troops had to be relocated for a long distance and they were planning to go on a relocation period in Wanxian for a period of rest and then go on a suppression.
Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he was furious that he walked around the room. These bastards fell out at the critical moment. When they saw something happened to the First Division, they all turned into turtles. Mother Xipi!
Wait, these guys don’t cooperate, then Chen Cheng and Xue Yue have become lonely again? Although the 200,000 army has strong combat power, the Red Bandits are too cunning, especially Liu Yimin, who fights like a god’s help, always appearing in
The impossible place will severely damage the National Army. Xiaoshui, Xikou, Qingxi Town, Yangping Town, and Hanyang Town will be repeated again. If that bastard is eyeing Xue Yue again, what will happen?
Besides, Xue Yue's troops have been marching all the time, and are they a tired army with standards?
It seems that I underestimated the enemy too much. Thinking that the Red Bandit Xiangjiang became a dog of a betrayal after the defeat, Liu Yimin dared to destroy He Jian's three divisions with one regiment. He should have been vigilant, but he still let that guy succeed. Xue Yue fought again
Three divisions were lost. Not to mention the main force of the Zhu Mao Red Band, Liu Yimin alone has changed from a regiment commander to a legion commander. He has too many guns and cannons, and the Red Band is no longer the Red Bandits who are carrying spears to fight.
But he used the elite cannon machine guns of the National Army to fight. Think about the idea that Liu Yimin dared to use a regiment to attack He Jian. Now he is strong and has excellent weapons, will he still be afraid of Chen Cheng and Xue Yue's 200,000 troops?
If Chen Cheng and Xue Yue fail again, their capital will be greatly reduced. I am afraid that before the Zhu Mao Hong Bandits come to fight, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, and Chen Jitang will attack first. In any case, Chen Cheng and Xue Yue can no longer repeat the same mistake.
.
Feeling that Chen Cheng and Xue Yue led the direct troops may be in danger, Chiang Kai-shek immediately generated a power to modify his orders, and after Chen Cheng and Xue Yue occupied the Deyang front line, they would build a line of defense, rest and standby, and strictly prevent attacks from the Red Bandits. Pay attention to contacting Pan Wenhua's unit of the Sichuan Army, and
The army cooperated closely and did not leave any gaps in sneak attacks for the Red Bandits.
After sending the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek decided to go to Chongqing to hold a military meeting, allowing Zhang Xueliang, Liu Xiang, Chen Cheng and Xue Yue to participate, and carefully study the combat deployment so as not to suffer any further defeat.
After receiving the report from Peng Dehuai and Dong Zhentang, Mao Zedong immediately ordered the First Army to rest and recuperate on the spot without any need to advance to the Jialing River. The Third Army and the Fifth Army were in the south, and Langzhong were in the south, and closely monitored the enemy movements on the other side. The mission of the Seventh Army remained unchanged.
Immediately, Mao Zedong drafted the "Declaration of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Red Army Headquarters on the Current Situation":
People of all ethnic groups in the country:
After occupying the three northeastern provinces of our country, the Japanese invaders are ready to move again today, repeatedly provoking the defense zone of our 29th Army stationed in North China, dispatching aircraft and cannons to destroy our villages and towns, and injuring our civilians. This fully demonstrates that the ambition of the Japanese invaders is to encroach on the entire country.
China has caused the Chinese nation, which has a history of thousands of years, to be destroyed. The North China crisis! The Chinese crisis!
At this critical moment, people of all ethnic groups across the country should unite in resistance to war, jointly fight against foreign aggression, defeat the invaders, and recover the ground. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army call on all domestic forces to stop civil war, unite, resist Japan and save the nation, and drive out the invaders.
Go to China!
However, the Nanjing National Government headed by Chiang Kai-shek not only did not unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to rise up in the war of resistance, but instead implemented the reactionary policy of first pacifying the country with foreign aggression, sat on the Japanese invasion, concentrated its efforts to suppress local forces in the country, and encircled and suppressed us with heavy troops.
The Red Army of Workers and Peasants who are heading north to fight against Japan, will be hurt by the relatives and the enemy's quick actions will be despised by people of all ethnic groups in the country and will be nailed to the pillar of shame by history!
Early this morning, Chiang Kai-shek's main division, Hu Zongnan, attempting to attack our army, was wiped out by heroic Red Army soldiers in Jiange County, Sichuan, and captured the enemy division commander Hu Zongnan. This is our army's successor to Xiaoshui, Hunan, Xikou
Another major victory after destroying He Jian's three divisions, the three and a half divisions of Xue Yue, the three and a half divisions of Zunyi, Guizhou, the two and a half brigades of the Sichuan Army were eliminated along the lines of Chengdu!
Our Workers' and Peasants' Red Army now has hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and is fully capable of eliminating all enemies who dare to obstruct our army from going north to fight against Japan. If Chiang Kai-shek dares to pursue our army again, our army will annihilate as many as possible, including reactionary warlords who followed Chiang Kai-shek to fight the civil war. Welcome.
Chiang Kai-shek transported weapons, ammunition and soldiers to our army.
For the common interests of the Chinese nation, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Red Army of Workers and Peasants are willing to give up their past grudges and unite all forces across the country to jointly promote the great cause of anti-Japanese war and save the country. He is also willing to conduct joint anti-Japanese negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek Nanjing National Government on the basis of meeting the following conditions:
1. Change the reactionary policy of suppressing the Communist Party and clearing the Communist Party.
2. Reorganize the Nanjing National Government, abolish the one-party dictatorship, and establish a democratic coalition government with various parties participating.
3. Mobilize the whole country to form a training force, and actively prepare for a comprehensive anti-Japanese war.
4. A rear base was designated for the Red Army to ensure the supplies of Red Army soldiers in the War of Resistance.
5. The Communist Party of China and the Red Army of Workers and Peasants are willing to work together with the people of the whole country, and are willing to send the main force of the Red Army to the north to assist our troops in North China to resist the Japanese invasion. We resolutely expel the Japanese invaders from China and will not give up until we achieve our goal.
Compatriots across the country: Our country has a history of civilization for 5,000 years, a vast territory, a large strategic space, and a 400 million people. Our anti-Japanese cause will surely win! The Communist Party of China and the Red Army of Workers and Peasants are willing to be the vanguard of the anti-Japanese war and lead the people of the whole country to defeat the invaders.
Let’s work together to build a democratic, fair and prosperous country!
Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: Mao Zedong
Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army: Zhu De
Chapter completed!
