Coming out of Comrade Chen Yun and Li Fuchun's house, it was still early to see that it was still early. Liu Yimin did not rush back to the Red Army headquarters, nor did he return to the station of the accompanying cavalry company. Instead, he took Li Chengyi and Tang Xingying for a walk on Zunyi Street.
At that time, although Zunyi was known as the second largest city in Guizhou, from Liu Yimin's perspective, it was still a small mountain town.
Along the way, Liu Yimin admired Yang Zhen who originally chose to build the city in Zunyi.
According to folklore, Yang Zhen took a tiger cart to Mujiachuan. When he saw the lush water and grass, the lush trees, and the aura of a king, he chose to build a city here as the center of his rule. Liu Yimin didn't see it that way. Looking at it all the way, Liu Yimin felt like a king.
Understandably, Yang Zhen only built the city here mainly because of Zunyi's topography.
The old city of Zunyi is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. To the west is Fuhou Mountain, to the north is Xiaolong Mountain, to the south is Honghuagang, and to the east is the Xiangjiang River. There are barriers on all sides. The city wall runs from Modao River to Fuhou Mountain.
Then go to Xiaolong Mountain, follow the Xiangjiang River along the foothills of Xiaolong Mountain to the intersection of Biyun Road, build momentum along the mountain, and defend the river in danger.
In the era of cold weapons, such terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack, basically ensuring safety.
Liu Yimin thought, fortunately Liu Bocheng adopted the method of cheating to open the city gate, otherwise, without artillery, Zunyi City would be really difficult to fight. Historically, when the Red Army occupied Zunyi for the second time, they sacrificed their lives including Deng Ping, Chief of Staff of the Third Army Corps.
Including the huge casualties, the three armies fought so hard that they could basically cancel their formation.
While walking and thinking, he unknowingly made a circle around the old town of Zunyi. After completing the circle, Liu Yimin had a clear understanding of the topography of Zunyi.
Judging from observations, the old city is the political and cultural center of northern Guizhou. It has only schools, hospitals, and libraries, as well as Confucian temples, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, churches, and mosques. The Zhou family in the east gate, the Li family in the north gate,
Ximen Cai Family, Nanmen Jian Family, Dabazi Yang Family, Xietaiba Luo Family, Daren Pavilion Jiang Family, Yangliu Street Liu Family, Si Tang Family and other elegant family courtyards and Wang Jialie, Bai Huizhang, Liu Jianqun
, You Guocai, Guo Huicang, Liu Siqi and other generals of the Guizhou Army, and the residences of important officials of the Republic of China are scattered among them. There are also industry gathering areas such as Ximatan, Macao Street, Jiaozi Street, etc. that specialize in serving dignitaries. Liu Yimin was dazzled by what he saw.
I can’t help but sigh that although this small famous city in northern Guizhou is not big in size, it does have a rich cultural heritage.
The new urban area on the other side of the Xiangjiang River is a commercial and industrial area. Most of the shops, financial institutions, banks, warehouses, factories and workshops, and bazaars are concentrated here. Because the silk weaving industry is relatively developed, and the Tongzi warlords regard Zunyi as their own
The most important base area is where large-scale construction is carried out, so there are many workers in Zunyi. Historically, after the Red Army occupied Zunyi, Mao Zedong and Zhu De both gave speeches to the masses in person. The Red Army also organized trade unions in various industries. These trade unions alone organized workers for
The Red Army processed 100,000 kilograms of rice, 10,000 sets of military uniforms, and transported 5,000 worker recruits, which restored the strength of the Red Army. Now that the Red Army has occupied Zunyi, it has changed a lot compared to the historical situation. More people should join the army.
.
After reading it, it was getting dark, and Tang Xingying was tired from walking. Liu Yimin and the other two went into a snack bar to try Zunyi's famous food.
The boss was a man in his 40s. As soon as he saw that he was a Red Army soldier, he took the initiative to recommend the shop's popular bean curd noodles and mutton noodles to Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin asked how the bean curd noodles are made, and the boss said: "This Red Army officer, bean curd is water tofu. It is made from the cellar water from the previous order of tofu and stored for a few days to become sour soup. The tofu ordered with this sour soup,
There is no bitter taste of gypsum or brine, it is tenderer than ordinary tofu and tighter than tofu. After the noodles are fished out, put the tofu pudding on top, let the noodles soak in the soy milk, and then put the cooked meat tips on it, the taste is delicious
!The shop has been operating for a long time and customers like it very much.”
When Liu Yimin heard this, his appetite was whetted and he said, "Here are three bowls."
The boss said okay and went to make some noodles.
Not long after, the boss served three bowls of noodles, and three small bowls of meat tips made of lean meat, chili, soy sauce, MSG, green onions, ginger, and coriander. He said, "Please use it with caution, sir."
Went aside to greet other guests.
Liu Yimin took out a chopstick of noodles, dipped it in the meat tips, and took a bite. He felt that it was really delicious, tender and smooth. He glanced at Li Chengyi and Tang Xingying and saw that they were also eating with gusto, so he called the boss over and asked
: "How are your noodles made? I feel they are smooth and chewy. They are really good."
The boss said: "Sir, the noodles made in this shop are made of fine flour mixed with fresh eggs, and are hand-rolled with a small amount of cornstarch and alkaline water. Naturally, they taste different from ordinary noodles. Sir, I think they are delicious.
If so, eat more."
Liu Yimin asked again: "In addition to bean curd noodles, are there any other famous foods?"
The boss said: "Yes, sir, after eating the bean curd noodles, you can try the mutton noodles in the store. This is a famous Guizhou specialty!"
Liu Yimin said: "Okay, here are three bowls!"
When Liu Yimin finished eating the bean curd noodles, he looked up and saw that Li Chengyi had already finished eating and was eagerly waiting for the mutton noodles! Tang Xingying, on the other hand, looked like a lady, chewing slowly and only ate half of the bowl of bean curd noodles.
The boss brought the mutton noodles. When Liu Yimin saw it, he saw that it was actually rice noodles soaked in mutton soup. He cooked the rice noodles and put them in a bowl. The rice noodles were covered with thin slices of cooked mutton, and the original mutton juice was poured on top.
Soup, mutton fat, add simmered chili noodles, pepper powder, salt, chili oil, turnips, green onions and other condiments. It tastes good and can make you sweat after eating it. It is similar to the northern mutton soup and mutton braised noodles.
.
Just when she was worried that it was too spicy and Tang Xingying couldn't get used to it, she saw that Tang Xingying had put down the bowl of bean curd noodles, took the mutton noodles and took a sip.
Liu Yimin thought that he was worried about the ancients. What era is it now? A girl who dares to run away from marriage to join the Red Army, a girl who dares to stare at the enemy's head with a pistol, how can she be so squeamish!
While I was eating, I heard a customer drinking in the tavern next door singing: "The eldest brother is a blacksmith and has no dishes to put on the chopping board. The second brother is a tailor and wears shabby clothes. The third brother is a carpenter and lives in a shabby thatched hut."
Liu Yimin asked the boss: "I think Zunyihe is more prosperous, but what I heard from that guy's song is that he doesn't have enough to eat and doesn't have enough to wear warm clothes!"
The boss said: "Sir, you saw that there are more mansions and shops in the city, so you feel that Zunyi is more prosperous! In fact, it is the same everywhere, there are fewer rich people and more poor people. These days, as long as you can survive, what else can you say?
Do you have enough to eat, and do you have warm clothes?"
Liu Yimin asked: "Does the boss have any opinion on the Red Army's occupation of Zunyi?"
The boss said: "We cook and sell food, what can we say? However, the Red Army is the most benevolent army I have ever seen in my life. If you don't take, don't want, don't rob, who else would dare to do business?"
Open the door? It’s a pity that the Red Army still has to leave. If they don’t leave, they will occupy Zunyi City. How great would it be?”
Liu Yimin was silent.
In fact, with the current strength of the Red Army, if it still wants to establish the red separatist regime in the past and establish a base area on the Sichuan-Guizhou border, Liu Yimin thinks it can be done. Historically, it was not possible because the Red Army's strength was too weakened. Now due to his arrival
, Mao Zedong has come to power in advance, with the strategies and tactics of a great man, and the constant instigation of his butterfly wings, separatism should be a piece of cake. But Guizhou is too remote, far away from the center of China and the future anti-Japanese battlefield.
It was too far. The Red Army wanted to build a brand new country, and the idea of establishing a base in Guizhou was obviously to be abandoned.
After finishing eating, Liu Yimin put down his bowl and was about to pay the bill and leave. Li Chengyi said: "Sir, I want to have two more bowls. This meal is so delicious."
Liu Yimin looked at Tang Xingying. The girl lowered her head and said nothing. There were tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. Perhaps because she felt Liu Yimin was looking at her, her head was so low that it almost touched her rice bowl, and she was stained with crimson.
Her face and white neck are really as shy as she is, and as charming as she is charming.
Liu Yimin thought to himself, he never thought that this little girl is really beautiful! However, this is a person of his grandmother's generation, so he had better not look at it, because the girl would be too embarrassed to leave. He looked away and said to Li Chengyi: "
You can eat as much as you want, do you still need to ask for my opinion?"
Li Chengyi said "Okay" honestly, and shouted to the boss: "Bring two more bowls of mutton noodles, cut half a catty of mutton into them."
The boss said hello and went to work.
Li Chengyi remembered that the teacher and Tang Xingying were there, so he asked: "How many more bowls does the teacher want? How many more bowls does Comrade Xiao Tang want?"
Liu Yimin burst out laughing, pointed at Li Chengyi and said: "You think everyone is just like you, with such a big belly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Tang Xingying say in a low voice: "I also want to eat another bowl of bean curd noodles."
Liu Yimin shouted to the boss below: "Another bowl of bean curd noodles." After thinking about it, he was afraid that Tang Xingying would be embarrassed if he didn't eat it, so he said again: "This meal is really good. Boss, give it to me too."
Another bowl of mutton noodles."
After shouting, she felt Tang Xingying glance up at herself, then quickly lowered her head.
After the three people finished eating, they returned to the place where the cavalry company camped. As soon as they entered the door, the sentry told Liu Yimin that the headquarters had just sent someone to inform him to go to a meeting immediately, but he was not found, so he had to go back.
Liu Yimin turned around and walked towards the venue. Li Chengyi and Tang Xingying followed him one after another. Liu Yimin waved his hand: "You can go back and rest, there is no need to follow." The two said almost at the same time, "Political Commissar (Director)
You've told me, we have to follow you wherever you go."
Liu Yimin ignored them and strode ahead.
When I arrived at the venue, I saw that the meeting had already begun. Chairman Mao was sitting in the chair presiding over the meeting, and all the participants were already in place. Liu Yimin knew that he was late, so he quickly found a seat and sat down.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Mao Zedong's provocative Hunan accent: "Comrades, the morning and afternoon meetings went very smoothly. We have completed the summary of the experiences and lessons of the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign and elected new leaders."
The general person in charge of the party. However, our meeting still has an important task that has not been completed, which is to discuss where the Red Army will move to and where to establish its base. Why do people have long butts? It’s just that when they are tired of standing, they leave
When you are tired, you can sit down and rest. Now, our Red Army has set out from the Soviet area and has traveled a long distance. We are already very tired and urgently need to find a place to stop and resume development. When the meeting was adjourned at noon, Comrade Liu Yimin came to see me and Vice Chairman Zhou
, Commander-in-Chief Zhu reported some of the intelligence they obtained, which I feel is very valuable. Comrade Liu Yimin, please report the situation to everyone."
Liu Yimin thought to himself, you just have to say it, but you have to ask me to say it. Doesn't this make me show my face in front of everyone?
After thinking about it, Liu Yimin immediately stood up and saluted the audience. Then he said in standard Mandarin: "Dear leaders, our guard division captured the enemy's 59th Division Commander Han Hanying and the 93rd Division Commander during the battle in Qingxi Town.
Tang Yunshan seized the documents they carried with them. From these documents, we learned that in addition to the Central Red Army, the Second and Sixth Red Army Corps and the Fourth Front Army, a Red Army headed by Liu Zhidan was also active in northern Shaanxi and had a base area.
Later, we interrogated Han Hanying and Tang Yunshan and learned that there was indeed the Northern Shaanxi Red Army. A very important task of Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army was to deal with the Northern Shaanxi Red Army. After the battle in Qingxi Town, I held a discussion with industrial and commercial representatives in Zhenyuan.
Shopkeeper Yan from the Zhenyuan branch of Qixian County, Shanxi also said that there is a craze in northern Shaanxi, and the leader is Liu Zhidan. Based on these circumstances, we judge that it is true that there is a Red Army base in northern Shaanxi. Report completed! "
After saying that, Liu Yimin saluted again and sat down.
Discussions began immediately in the meeting place. Some said that it would be better to rendezvous with the Fourth Front Army first, and then decide where to go; some said that the troops should be sent north immediately to meet Liu Zhidan in northern Shaanxi and develop the northern Shaanxi base area; some said that,
The place in northern Shaanxi is too poor to support so many Red Army troops. Wait, everyone has any opinion.
Zhou Enlai came to see that everyone was talking enthusiastically, but it was difficult to unify, so he talked to Mao Zedong in a low voice for a while. Then he raised his head and said: "Everyone, be quiet, Comrade Liu Yimin, tell me what you thought after receiving this information.
?”
Liu Yimin stood up again, saluted again, and reported: "Report to Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and all leaders. After we received this information, we analyzed it and believed that our army should quickly move north to northern Shaanxi.
There are three reasons for establishing a base in the north: First, since Japan invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces, the domestic class contradictions of oppression and counter-oppression, exploitation and counter-exploitation may be temporarily alleviated, while the national contradictions of aggression and counter-invasion may rise to the main contradiction. According to
Han Hanying confessed that some people in Chiang Kai-shek's National Government were already considering how to respond if Japan invaded China in an all-out manner. This shows that the ambition of the Japanese to invade China in an all-out way was already well known to everyone on the road. As a Chinese nation composed of the best elements of the Chinese nation,
At the critical juncture of national survival, the Communist Party and the Red Army should stand up and stand at the forefront of the anti-Japanese war and lead the people of the country in the great anti-Japanese war. Second, by going north, we can implement the Red Army's long-proposed northward movement to resist the Japanese and win the victory.
The support of the people of the whole country. In our letter to He Jian, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi, we have stated that the Red Army will go north to fight against Japan. If it dares to pursue the Red Army who goes north to fight against Japan, its behavior will be an act of traitor, and the pursuing troops will be traitors. From now on
It will be recorded in the history books and will be remembered forever. Judging from the reaction of the Guangxi faction, they basically followed the requirements in our letter. The pursuit of the forward did not come close to our rear guard for two days. This shows that as long as we fight to stop the civil war,
Unanimous anti-Japanese banner represents the great cause of anti-Japanese resistance. When local forces follow Chiang Kai-shek to pursue us, they will have concerns and hesitation. Our actions can also win the support and support of the majority of the people. The third is
Although northern Shaanxi is barren, it has a large space for strategic maneuver. Chiang Kai-shek's ruling power is weak and the mass base is good. Once we gain a foothold in northern Shaanxi, we can continue to expand our base areas and strengthen the Red Army. Once Japan's full-scale invasion of China breaks out, we can divide our forces.
Go deep behind enemy lines, establish base areas, mobilize and arm the masses, win the support of the people in the Anti-Japanese War, and continue to grow and develop. Besides, northern Shaanxi is sparsely populated, but there are wastelands everywhere. We can carry out military reclamation, and we can completely rely on ourselves and have enough food and clothing. In addition, establish base areas
The first condition is that the enemy's rule is weak. Northern Shaanxi is far away from the core ruling circle of Chiang Kai-shek's regime, and the enemy's power is weak. This is the condition we need to establish a base. Just imagine, if Chairman Mao had not gone to Jinggangshan, but to Shanghai and Nanjing
, I'm afraid we won't be able to sit here for a meeting for a long time. I'm done, thank you all!" After saluting, he sat down.
Mr. Zhu said: "I agree with Comrade Liu Yimin's analysis. It is impossible to go back to the Soviet area now. Small troops may be able to do it, but large troops don't even think about it. You can't go to Xiangxi. If you go there, you will still be surrounded and suppressed by the enemy's superior forces. At the moment,
The only feasible option is to quickly get rid of the enemy, stride northward, and establish a base in northern Shaanxi."
Zhang Wentian said: "I agree to put forward the slogan of stopping the civil war and uniting to resist Japan, and suggest that the people of the country be informed of our party's ideas."
Wang Jiaxiang said: "A hero is one who follows the trend. I agree to resolutely go north to fight against Japan. I suggest that the Central Committee appoint a responsible comrade to return to Shanghai in disguise, who can not only lead the struggle in the white areas, but also promote our party's ideas to the people across the country on behalf of the Central Committee."
Mr. Peng said: "What we need most now is to find a place to recharge our batteries. No matter whether northern Shaanxi is poor or not, as long as it can allow the troops to rest and recuperate, it is a good place. After we rest for a period and the troops regain their strength, we can win the war."
, If you want to win a great victory, why should you fear that food and ammunition can’t solve it?”
Chen Yun said: "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Now the biggest people's heart in China is to resist Japan. Our party should unswervingly put forward the banner of stopping the civil war and uniting to resist Japan. If necessary, we can contact third-party forces to mediate and cooperate with various local forces
Negotiations created an environment that forced Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan."
Seeing that everyone has almost said what they have said and their opinions are unified. Chairman Mao began to speak: "Everyone's opinions have become unified just now. They can be summarized in three points: First, we proposed to stop the civil war and unanimously resist Japan; second, we proposed to move north quickly.
To establish a base area in northern Shaanxi, the third is to contact local forces, force Chiang to resist Japan, and urge Chiang to resist Japan. These three points are great propositions. They clarify the goals and footholds of our Red Army's strategic shift and the guidelines for the next step of action. With these three points, we will
We will no longer mess around, and our army's strategic actions will have a basis. We use these three points to fight against Chiang Kai-shek's civil war, to pursue the Red Army and to compromise with Japan, so that the people of the country can understand who exactly is.
Who is revolutionary and who is reactionary, who represents the interests of the country and the people, who harms the interests of the country and the people, who is just and who is unjust. The people will naturally stand on the side of the revolution and justice.
, unite together to fight against Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary regime, and urge it to change its reactionary policy of encircling and suppressing the Red Army and not resisting Japan. In this way, it is possible for the Chinese nation to unite as one and win the war against Japan and aggression. Otherwise, it will be defeated by Japan
The invaders took advantage of the situation and defeated them one by one, becoming the sinners of the nation and history."
After Chairman Mao finished speaking, the meeting divided labor. Mao Zedong, on behalf of the Central Committee, drafted a statement on stopping the civil war and uniting against Japan. Zhou Enlai, on behalf of the Central Committee, drafted the meeting's decision on electing Mao Zedong as the party's general leader and military commander. Zhang Wentian represented the Politburo.
Drafted a summary of the experience and lessons of the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, and decided to convey the spirit of the meeting to all party organizations across the country, and to every branch of the Central Red Army.
The meeting also decided to implement a unified reorganization of the troops and enrich the combat forces with cadres from the central column and the troops expanded in Zunyi. The First Army Corps has jurisdiction over the 1st to 9th Regiments of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions, and the 3rd Army Corps has jurisdiction over the 10th Regiments of the 4th, 5th and 6th Divisions.
to the 18th Regiment, the 5th Army Corps has jurisdiction over the 7th Division, the 19th to 24th Regiments of the 8th Division, the 9th Army Corps has jurisdiction over the 9th Division, and the 25th to 30th Regiments of the 10th Division. The headquarters is directly under the Central Guard Division and Cadre Regiment, among which the guard
The division has jurisdiction over the 1st to 7th Guard Regiments, and there are also artillery regiments, heavy machine gun regiments, engineering regiments, and baggage regiments. The artillery regiments and heavy machine gun regiments of the guard division are managed by the guard division, and are coordinated and used by the Military Commission during combat. There are 11 combat units in the entire army.
division, forty-two regiments, and more than 86,000 men.
After the meeting, Liu Yimin returned to the station to rest. He kept thinking along the way that due to his arrival, the strength of the Red Army had been greatly strengthened. Historically, the Red Army had less than 20,000 people when it arrived in Zunyi. After the expansion, it only had more than 3,000 people.
It was organized into 16 regiments, of which the first corps was reduced to two divisions and six regiments; the third corps canceled the division organization, and the corps directly commanded four regiments; the fifth corps was reduced to two regiments, and the ninth corps was reduced to 3 regiments. The Military Commission
Directly affiliated cadre group.
Now the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only have the four main legions been established and basically fully staffed, but the own guard division alone has seven fully-staffed elite regiments and four auxiliary regiments, as well as a new recruit training regiment.
.
The most gratifying thing is that the Zunyi Conference not only established Mao Zedong's leadership, but also determined the strategic goal of the entire army to march north to northern Shaanxi. The Central Red Army, which has been brave and fearless in history and has experienced hardships in the snowy mountains and grasslands, can go into battle lightly and quickly move towards the Central Red Army.
Move forward with set goals.
When the Central Red Army of more than 80,000 people gains a foothold in northern Shaanxi, haha, little Japan, let me see if you can still be as rampant as you were in history. As long as I live, I will lead the Red Army warriors to bleed the Japanese devils until
Until the little Japanese bleeds out and everyone dies.
Liu Yimin couldn't help but laugh when he thought about his success. This made Li Chengyi and Tang Xingying confused. Tang Xingying couldn't help but scolded: "It's so late at night, why are you so crazy!"
Only then did Liu Yimin realize that there was a guard company commander and a female Red Army soldier beside him, so he had to stop having sex and the three of them quickly returned to their station to rest.
Early the next morning, Liu Yimin went to bid farewell to Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Comrade Zhang Wentian, Comrade Wang Jiaxiang, Comrade Chen Yun and other central leaders.
Mao Zedong was in a good mood and took Liu Yimin for a walk in the yard. About 10 minutes later, other leaders came to Chairman Mao to report on their work, which interrupted their interest in walking.
When parting, Chairman Mao said to Liu Yimin: "I can't give you 10 days, I can only give you five days at most. After five days, you will lead the troops to fight. I plan to have the Ninth Army advance to Chishui and Zheng'an in two ways.
Attracting the main force of the enemy's Sichuan Army to concentrate in the direction of Chishui and Zheng'an, the guard division and the 1st, 3rd and 5th Army Corps rested in hiding in Zunyi. After the enemy's main force concentrated on the Chishui front line, the guard division secretly entered Sichuan from Gulin without stopping, with the goal of attacking and occupying
Chengdu. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Army Corps followed up. After occupying Yibin, the troops were divided into two groups, one passing through Leshan and Meishan to Chengdu, and the other passing through Zigong, Neijiang, and Ziyang to reach Chengdu. After our main operation began, the Ninth Army Corps looked for opportunities to engage the enemy.
Disengage and catch up with the main force. The key to this battle lies in whether the guard division can successfully attack by surprise. We must attack by surprise when crossing Gulin and occupying Yibin. Especially when crossing the Yangtze River, we must be concealed so that the enemy cannot detect our intentions. As long as we attack and capture
If Chengdu is successful, our army will be at ease, whether it is negotiating with Chiang Kai-shek or heading north to northern Shaanxi, let me do whatever I want."
After a pause, Mao Zedong said again: "According to convention, we should not have such a plan. Instead, we should go to remote and wild lands and take a detour to northern Shaanxi. However, since you joined the Red Army, you have achieved so much
Each time, we anticipated the enemy's opportunity and made the first move. This made me consider that we could use the Guard Division as a surprise force to sneak attack on the enemy's heartland, causing shock throughout the country, and then pushing Chiang Kai-shek to sit down and negotiate with us.
"
Seeing that Liu Yimin didn't say anything, Mao Zedong took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and said, "Don't you think this plan is feasible?"
Liu Yimin thought to himself that he only briefly revealed the situation between the enemy and ourselves, as well as the movements of the Central Army and the Sichuan Army. He never expected that these great men would come up with such a big battle plan. Not to mention, this plan coincided with his own ideas.
, all attacked Chengdu. It seems that not only are they brave, but these great men and gods of war are also brave. No wonder Peng Dehuai led his troops to capture Changsha. It seems that once the fighter planes come, these great men will take action very quickly.
Accurate again. Now the Sichuan army is fighting on two fronts, and the area around Chengdu is empty. It is a good opportunity for fighting, and God will not be punished.
So, Liu Yimin said: "No, when we were at the passage, I thought about returning to attack Changsha, mobilize the enemy, and cover the main force's actions in Guizhou. Later, with the fighter planes in Qingxi Town, I chose to defeat Xue Yue's main force first.
The plan to follow the main force and attack Changsha had to be given up. In the past two days, I have been thinking about how to get rid of the enemy and move north quickly. One of the ideas was to lead the guard division to attack Chengdu and cover the main force.
Go north. The chairman's plan sounds scary, but it is actually feasible. First, the main strength of our army is still there, the weapons and equipment are better than when we were in the Soviet area, and we are fully capable of fighting. Second, the Central Army is far away in Guiyang and Liping.
, the Hunan Army and the Gui Army only defended but did not attack. The Sichuan Army we faced was fighting on two fronts. Our army had a good combat environment. Third, our army entered Sichuan and went straight to Chengdu, which meant going deep into the enemy's hinterland. The enemy was probably dreaming
Unexpectedly, the chance of a successful sneak attack is very high. If the Sichuan army returns from southern Sichuan to pursue our army, our army can fight the enemy decisively in the Chengdu Plain, and the ownership of Chengdu can be decided in one battle. At that time, the granary and abundant sources of troops in the Chengdu Plain will be
Once our army is opened, our troops will be greatly expanded."
Seeing that Chairman Mao was listening seriously, Liu Yimin added: "However, there are three points that the Chairman needs to pay attention to. First, it is best to have the Fourth Front Army and the Second Front Army coordinate their actions, especially when the Fourth Front Army launches an offensive to attract the attention of the Sichuan enemy. The second is that it is best to have the Fourth Front Army and the Second Front Army coordinate their actions.
If our army encounters a fortified city that is difficult to attack, we should make a detour and advance quickly without entangled with the enemy, with the goal of occupying the Chengdu Plain. Third, after our army captures Chengdu, if it encounters Chiang Kai-shek mobilizing heavy troops to besiege, we should quickly evacuate and move north quickly.
You should not fall in love with the prosperity of Chengdu and fight a war of attrition with the enemy's army on the Chengdu Plain."
Chairman Mao smiled and said: "Brother, little comrade, are you afraid that I will imitate Uncle Liu Huang and become the King of Sichuan?"
Liu Yimin also smiled and said: "See you soon, Chairman!"
Mao Zedong thought for a while and said: "If there had been no Japanese invasion, it would have been good for us to establish a red separatist regime in Sichuan. Sichuan is rich in products and has a large population. We can definitely mobilize the Second Front Army, and the First, Second, Fourth and Third Front Armies will be on the Chengdu Plain.
Compete with the enemy. If we succeed, we can seize Sichuan's resources and then compete with Chiang Kai-shek for the world. But it cannot be done now. The Japanese invaders have invaded. The whole country and the people are eager to fight against the Japanese and kill the enemy. If we continue to fight with the National Army in Sichuan, not only the Japanese will
If we laugh happily, the people of the whole country will not support us."
Liu Yimin said: "The chairman has seen everything thoroughly."
Mao Zedong took another puff of cigarette and said: "By occupying Chengdu, firstly, we can replenish the development troops; secondly, we can raise enough food; thirdly, we can gain bargaining chips with Chiang Kai-shek. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Yimin said: "Understood!"
Chairman Mao said: "The key to whether this plan can be realized depends on you and your guard division. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. This time, we want to let the guard division's strong sword be unsheathed and show its majesty! I
I believe you can complete the task!"
Liu Yimin saluted with a bang: "Chairman, please rest assured, if you use me in a tough battle, you will win if you use me!"
Mao Zedong added: "After you go back, seize the time to train the troops. The transferred cadres should have reported for duty by now. You must train the troops as a whole to ensure satisfactory command and smooth command. Tomorrow, Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng will go
I’ll discuss a specific action plan with you.”
Liu Yimin saluted again: "Chairman, please rest assured and promise to complete the task!" Then he said goodbye to Chairman Mao and hurried back to the army.
