Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Listening to what He Zhengdao said, Xiao Jinguang also knew it.For the independent column in this battle, the casualties of more than a thousand people were indeed a bit heavy.But Xiao Jinguang also knew that such a loss was already considered a big victory compared to his record.

I heard from the officers below that He Zhengdao had extremely strict requirements on the battle damage of the troops.If that army suffered too many casualties during the battle, even if it won, He Zhengdao would hold the commander accountable.

It now appears that those officers were right.The commander in front of him is indeed a little different from other senior combat commanders.Like to pursue the smallest loss and get the biggest victory.

'Commander, such a victory is already considered a big victory, so don't blame yourself too much.Right now we are in the middle of a battle, and the troops don't have time to conduct too systematic military training. It is already very good to be able to fight like this.

Leave the finishing touches to me, and leave the battle on the front line to you.I have always been curious before, why the independent division is fighting more and more soldiers and supplies, but now it seems that your command is still effective.

In this battle, the weapons, ammunition and supplies we seized alone are believed to be enough for us to cope with the battle for a period of time.After defeating these two Guangxi army divisions, the Sichuan army defending Tianquan City was probably already frightened at this moment. '

Xiao Jinguang is also very satisfied with the first battle of joining the independent column.He was still worried about He Zhengdao's youth before.At this moment, I can feel that He Zhengdao is still very experienced in dealing with people.

Regarding the transaction with Gui Jun, after He Zhengdao asked the headquarters for approval, he handed over all follow-up matters to Xiao Jinguang.Taking the main force of the two divisions with him, he headed for Tianquan City openly and aboveboard.

Originally thought that the Red Army that was constantly attacking Tianquan today was the main force of the independent division that almost captured Lao Jiang.Only now do I know that the real main force is yet to come.The nearly [-] Red Army, how can they defend?

Looking at Deng Xihou who sent another telegram asking for help, he also said with an extremely headache: "Reinforcement, where should I go to find reinforcements for them now? Send a telegram to Yang Sen and ask him to transfer two brigades to help us defend."

Hearing Deng Xihou's words, the chief of staff of the 28th Army smiled wryly and said, "Sir, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Yang Sen to send troops! Let Liu Xiang generate electricity and see what he says? Fighting recklessly with the Red Army is not worth it!

You and I both know how strong Gui Jun is.The closest to us right now is Liu Wenhui's troops.But you can also see that Liu Wenhui's main force withdrew again not long after leaving Ya'an.

He, an old fox, probably saw that this independent division was difficult to deal with, and didn't want to use up the main force at hand.If you really want to wipe out the troops in your hands, do you think the Central Army can really give him any good fruit to eat? "

When the Sichuan army began to worry about the independent column attacking Chengdu, the Red Fourth Front Army in Abali County also received news that the independent column had advanced into Tianquan.The commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian was also very shocked by the boldness of the independent column.

Looking at the deployment map of the Sichuan Army, Xu Xiangqian also smiled and said, "Deng Xihou will be frightened now! With his 28th Army alone, it may be difficult to block the advance of the independent column of the Red Army. .

As long as we chase our Sichuan army and divide our troops to reinforce it, then our chance will come.The central government's strategy of dividing troops seems to have taken a lot of risks, but it actually made the Sichuan army a little bit uncomfortable! "

Xu Xiangqian, who led the Red Fourth Front Army into southern Sichuan, fought against the Sichuan Army many times.Now that we have learned that the Central Red Army has entered the Danba area, it is believed that the reunion of the two armies is just around the corner.

Although the Central Red Army lost nearly half of its troops in the Xiangjiang battle.But since Mao Taizu regained power, the Central Red Army seems to have changed a different army, and its strength is constantly recovering and growing.

Even if there is one less independent column going north with the main force, the Central Red Army, which is now planning to join forces with the main force, also has nearly 5 troops.With the addition of the troops of the independent column, the combat effectiveness of the Central Red Army has also recovered a lot.

Under such circumstances, it may be impossible for the Sichuan Army to continue to block the Red Army going north.It's just that Xu Xiangqian also knows that the Northwest Army and Hu Zongnan's troops have already deployed defenses in the Gannan area, and it is not easy to break out of the encirclement.

Even if He Zhengdao cared about the situation on the front line, he knew it would be useless.Even if he knew, the situation of the Red Fourth Front Army is not very good.But he knew that for the time being, he was unable to intervene in this kind of matter.

At least the current Central Red Army has almost the same strength as the Red Army.Under such circumstances, I believe that the leader surnamed Zhang who planned to establish another central government in history must also consider the serious consequences caused by it.

The distant water cannot save the near fire, so He Zhengdao let go of his worries about the main forces joining forces.The commanders of the independent column began to be summoned to discuss the attack on Tianquan.For this portal, He Zhengdao must be defeated.

Even if the independent column does not enter Chengdu in the end, it must make a hole to let the Sichuan army that surrounded the Red Army come back for help.Only in this way, the pressure on the main force of the Red Army in the Aba area can be greatly reduced.

Looking at the Sichuan army's defense map of Tianquan City in front of him, He Zhengdao quickly said: "In order to end the battle as soon as possible and open up the passage into the hinterland of Sichuan. In this battle, we still adopt tactics of both psychology and force to force the Sichuan army to retreat on its own.

Starting tomorrow, your three main divisions will attack Tianquan from the left, right, and center respectively.Remember, the attack has to be big.You three main divisions, there is no distinction between main attack and assist, so give me all-out attack.

The reconnaissance team, after the battle starts tomorrow, create chaos for me in Tianquan City.What you have to do is to create a pressure on the Sichuan Army outside the city that the Red Army is about to encircle after the battle starts, forcing the Sichuan Army to collapse.

The recruit brigade acts as a reserve force for the column, and the three artillery battalions of the artillery regiment are all assigned to three divisions to participate in offensive operations.In this battle, we must win quickly, so that the Sichuan Army can truly feel the powerful attack power of our independent column. "

'Yes, Commander! '

Hearing that the general offensive will start tomorrow, the three main division commanders all seemed very happy.For them, with the detailed deployment map provided by the reconnaissance team, it is still not too much pressure to fight the Sichuan Army garrison in front of them!

(PS: I just applied for the group, and there are already many book friends in the group, waiting for your arrival. Group numbers: [-], [-], [-].)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Tianquan is located on the western edge of the Sichuan Basin, at the eastern foot of Erlang Mountain and the upper reaches of Qingyi River.This was originally an inconspicuous county town, but with the arrival of the independent column, it attracted the attention of all parties.

The two Sichuan Army garrison brigades guarding Tianquan, facing the independent column with the main force of the three divisions, really felt unprecedented oppression.You Qi learned that this independent column had just defeated two main divisions of the Guangxi Army.

Regarding the main force of the Red Army who came with the victory, the two garrison brigade commanders guarding Tianquan felt that it would be difficult for them to defend Tianquan City.They don't even have confidence in this battle, let alone the ordinary soldiers under them?

Some time ago, the raids and disturbances by the three divisions had already made these Sichuan troops lose their strength.With the arrival of the main forces of the two divisions led by He Zhengdao, they became even more worried about the upcoming battle.After all, no one wants to die in battle!

The main force of the independent column who rested peacefully for the night, many officers and soldiers who got up from the camp could smell the tangy aroma from the cooking squad.Many officers and soldiers laughed and said, "I ate another big meat bun today!"

Most of the veterans of the independent column have become accustomed to this situation.Before the war, the food will be extremely rich, which is also the tradition of the independent column.Even many newly joined backbones of the Red Army feel that this is too extravagant.

But they all know that among the main forces of the Red Army, the independent column has undoubtedly the most abundant material reserves.Occasionally eating a big meat bun with porridge for breakfast is not a big problem for the independent column.

What's more, they are all soldiers, and they are more energetic when they know how to eat and fight.The battle started today, and it is estimated that the battle will not end in a day.Therefore, it is very necessary to have a hearty breakfast.

Compared with the officers and soldiers of the independent column, they began to enjoy a hearty breakfast before the battle.The several garrison regiments stationed outside Tianquan still didn't dare to relax.Even last night, they found that the number of Red Army night raids seemed to have decreased a lot.

But the more so, the officers guarding the defensive position seemed worried.I feel that today, I am afraid that the general offensive of the Red Army will usher in. Whether they can hold the defensive position by then is a very worrying issue.

He Zhengdao, who also got up early in the morning, looked at the officers and soldiers who were eating breakfast, and chatted with the soldiers in a very approachable manner.For this situation, the officers and soldiers of the independent column are no strangers to it.

Among them, many backbones of the Red Army who were from the Sichuan Army also smiled and said, "Commander, will we enter Chengdu in this battle?"

Faced with such inquiries, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Shoot into Chengdu and capture Liu Xiang alive? I really want to! But the number of enemies before us is several times larger than ours.

In addition to standing in front of us, Deng Xihou's 28th Army.There are also troops commanded by Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua, and Liu Xiang, as well as Liu Wenhui's troops who were feared by us.These are the enemies we may fight against next.

As for whether we can enter Chengdu, it depends on how we fight the next battle.After the fight is over, if these people are hurt, if we want to attack Chengdu, I believe there will be no big problem. "

'Commander, we can definitely do it! '

'Confidence is a good thing!But don't be too ambitious!Fighting every battle well is what we have to do. '

After chatting with these grassroots officers and soldiers with a smile, He Zhengdao, who had finished his meal, quickly returned to his headquarters.For this kind of commander who doesn't have much airs, the officers and soldiers of the independent column love him very much.

After breakfast, the three main divisions began to attack the positions.Seeing the large Red Army troops appearing in front of the position, the defending Sichuan army immediately fired and shouted: "The Red Army is coming, the Red Army is coming! Enter the position, quickly enter the position!"

Such yelling and yelling can also tell how nervous and scared the defenders on the ground are.Even if they know that they are hiding in the trenches.But I still feel that I don't have much confidence in my heart!

Remindered by the sound of gunfire, the garrison troops of the Sichuan Army, which were in charge of blocking and defending, also began to enter defensive positions under the orders of their respective commanders.Compared to the fact that the Red Army has had enough to eat and drink, many of them haven't woken up much yet!

Looking at the panic of the Sichuan army in the front position, Zhang Cheng, who was in command, also smiled and said: "It seems that we came too early! I just looked at it, and many Sichuan soldiers seem to be not well dressed?"

Facing Zhang Cheng's ridicule, the chief of staff of the first division smiled and said, "It's normal for us to be afraid if we fight against our only division with the strength of a group. But in this battle, we still have to fight steadily."

'yes!In the battle of Pengba, our first division suffered the most losses.If the commander hadn't known, that battle was indeed difficult to fight, and we would all be criticized.In this battle, let's consume more shells!Let the artillerymen, prepare for the bombardment! '

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the chief of staff smiled and said, "Should we pull up the two artillery battalions?"

'Um!Since you want to scare away these Sichuan troops, then put in more effort.Pull the artillery battalion of the division headquarters, as well as the artillery battalion sent by the artillery regiment, to the front of the Sichuan Army's defensive position, so that these Sichuan Army can also open their eyes. '

'good!I hope those Sichuan soldiers will not be scared to pee their pants! '

Following Zhang Cheng's order, the two artillery battalions attached to the sole division set up shelling stances, one on the left and one on the right.Looking at the front of the position, the hundreds of mortars, the face of the garrison commander of the Sichuan Army who defended the position turned pale.
