After receiving the promise from Zhang Hongluan of the 44th Army, Fan Shisheng used all his 7,000 soldiers to assemble in Jingzhou in just ten hours. He opened the closed arsenal door and took out all the weapons that he had been reluctant to use for more than half a month.
Brand-new light and heavy machine guns and all ammunition, along with 500 pack horses, immediately went south to pursue Zhang Fakui's 4th Division, which had already headed to Cili for rest. It was a rare moment for the soldiers of the Yunnan Army to share the same hatred with the enemy. They gave way with good intentions, but in exchange for the humiliation of repaying kindness with revenge,
Even a clay figure can't stand this bird air.
An Yi in Yichang City was very busy. The smooth expansion of the Shizhen Department in Western Guizhou did not make him relax. Instead, he was even more nervous waiting for the reactions of the Yunnan Longyun and Guiyang Mao Guangxiang Departments, and made suggestions to the Shizhen Department through telegrams.
, always remind Shi Zhen not to be blinded by the victory in front of him. Maybe Mao Guangxiang and Long Yun, who were once enemies, will join hands for their own interests. Shi Zhen's tribe, which has just occupied the entire western Guizhou, will not be able to be attacked from the east or west.
Feel good.
Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek's appointment was issued in time at this time, and Mao Guangxiang finally became the chairman of Guizhou Province. However, seeing the rapid expansion of Shi Zhen's Ministry, he was entrusted with the important task of separatist control of Qianxi by the Central Committee. Li Shen's Ministry had not yet been completely eliminated, but it took away forty
Mao Guangxiang and his subordinate Wenwu finally saw the seriousness of the problem and attacked Li Shen's remaining troops in southern Guizhou more violently, hoping to end the battle as soon as possible and free up their hands to deal with the severe situation of the east-west division.
The war in western Guizhou has not yet been resolved, and Zhang Fakui's rebellion made An Yi nervous, who had just used thunderous means to quell the anger of the people in Yichang. Before he could come up with a proper way to deal with it, Wu Shang's 52nd Division suddenly fell into pieces, losing all face.
After Wu Shang said goodbye sadly, he led the only remaining guard regiment back to his hometown in Hunan. The 52nd Division existed in name only. An Yi could only telegraph this bad news to the Central Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief Chiang, and asked for punishment himself.
There has been no reply from the central government. One of Fan Shisheng's brigade was ambushed by the brave general Zhang Fakui. Fan Shisheng, who had just returned to Jingzhou, sent three telegrams to An Yi within an hour. In addition to complaining angrily, he also urgently asked for help and asked to camp.
Gather all the troops to deal a devastating blow to Zhang Fakui, who betrayed the revolution and massacred his colleagues. An Yi immediately telegraphed Fan Shisheng: You Xingying and Fan Shisheng called the central government at the same time to express their indignation and be ready to pursue at any time!
This time the central government's reply was very timely. In less than two hours, Commander-in-Chief Chiang's order reached He Jian, An Yi, Zhang Hongluan and Fan Shisheng at the same time, ordering An Yi to assist Fan Shisheng's troops in the pursuit; ordering Zhang Hongluan to use all his strength
Prevent the Fourth Division from going south, and contract with friendly forces Fan Shisheng's and He Jian's troops to surround and disarm the Fourth Division; order An Yi to immediately get in touch with He Jian, and direct Zhang Hongluan and Fan Shisheng's troops to coordinate the attack!
At this time, the land of China was turbulent. Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui, who had just become the heads of Guangxi Province for a few days, suddenly electrified the whole country and raised high the anti-Chiang flag. Chiang Kai-shek, who was distressed by the imminent war in the Central Plains, made matters worse. He repeatedly called Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui to appease them, asking them to
Don't be fooled by communism. As long as you wake up and repent in time, the central government will forget the past and continue to appoint the two people to govern Guangxi. At the same time, it secretly ordered Chen Jitang of Guangdong to once again take over as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army to attack Guangxi from the east, forming a strategic deterrent.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong and others, who had been defeated and fled abroad and were hiding in a corner of Hanoi, Vietnam, sighing, would never let go of this golden opportunity and would definitely use the excuse of anti-communism to return.
Guangxi recruited old troops again, so that the salted fish was reincarnated and its tail was not lost.
The Red Army in Jiangxi, Fujian, Hubei, Anhui and other places will also take this favorable opportunity to grow rapidly. In particular, the Zhu Mao Red Army, which has been operating across Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong for several years, has repeatedly achieved successes with outnumbered enemies and adopted flexible and effective combat methods to defeat Jiangxi.
, Hunan, Fujian and other armies have carried out repeated campaigns and achieved brilliant results. They have been replenished and trained again and again. The exponentially growing team has become the largest military force among the Red Army across the country.
"Master, urgent call from Yidu: More than 2,500 people from the He Long tribe have turned south and have reached the Longwang Cave area 30 kilometers north of Cili, and they have a tendency to continue southward."
Shi Pufang, the confidential and intelligence staff officer, still calls An Yi the division commander as before in the independent division.
"Report: General Zhang Hongluan called. More than 800 members of the Sangzhi Red Army suddenly appeared in Laohuchong, 28 kilometers northwest of Cili City. The direction of entry was initially judged to be Cili. General Zhang asked whether to change the action plan?" Deputy Section of Telecommunications Section
Changwei Airline came to report urgently.
An Yi stood up slowly, walked a few steps and suddenly turned around: "Call General Zhang Hongluan: Immediately order the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Cili Division to withdraw from Cili, retreat to Jinglong Bridge in the south to wait and see what happens, and give Cili to Zhang Fakui.
At the same time, we will closely monitor all armies, focusing on the direction of Cili, teach the first division, and teach the second division and third division how to change the original interception plan, and it is more prudent to adopt the second set of combat plans."
"yes!"
Satellite 1 drafted the message and handed it to An Yi for signature, and quickly returned to the confidential room to send the report.
An Yi turned to the map, pondered it carefully, and saw Shi Pufang walking towards the side door. He frowned, thought for a moment and shouted: "Pufang?"
"arrive!"
Shi Pufang immediately stopped and saw An Yi looking at the map. He took a deep breath and strode to An Yi: "Master, what are your orders?"
An Yi looked deeply and pointed to the west of Changde on the map: "Just think about it, will He Jian, as the chairman of Hunan Province, follow the orders of the central government at this time and send troops to cut off the line from Ande to Nanzui? He and
Although we have no friendship with Zhang Fakui, we have never held any grudges. Will we open our eyes to Zhang Fakui because of this and give Zhang Fakui a way out?"
Shi Pufang thought for a long time and said in a low voice: "There is quite a connection between Zhang Fakui and He Jian. During the confrontation between Ning and Han, weren't the two military aces in the hands of the Wuhan National Government Tang Shengzhi and Zhang Fakui? He
Jian is one of the top generals under Tang Shengzhi. No one would believe it if they said that the two of them had no connection! Furthermore, Master, wouldn’t you let Zhang Fakui live? Otherwise, with the sudden attack of nearly 40,000 brothers from General Zhang Hongluan’s three divisions,
It is again in a familiar area with crisscrossing rivers and dense water networks, and with the cooperation of the gunboats of the Yuanjiang Water Guard Brigade, where can Zhang Fakui escape? Master, why don't you take the opportunity to eat the Fourth Division in one bite to develop and strengthen yourself? Yes.
Aren’t you unable to let go of the old friendship with Huang Zhenqiu, Zhu Rihui and General Wu Qiwei?”
