Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Listening to Zhou Enlai's comments, Mao Taizu also nodded with a smile and said: "This kid, his thinking is indeed very different from that of our other army commanders. Although his approach is a bit nonsense, it is also extremely powerful for us.

Even if our main force enters Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia to establish base areas in the future, I am afraid that there will be no source of taxation at all in a short time.The basic necessities of the army are inseparable from money. It is really rare for an independent column to win battles and make money! "

In Mao Taizu's view, there are still some people in the Red Army who feel that he is too indulgent and trusting of He Zhengdao.But in Mao Taizu's view, He Zhengdao is entitled to his indulgence and trust.

Since the transition to the war, the main force has been able to travel so easily, and the independent column has played a big role.The materials and money delivered to the headquarters by the independent column alone will restore the material and fund reserves of the headquarters to the state before the war.

This is a great contribution to the Red Army.For such a meritorious minister, Mao Taizu asked himself what's the harm in indulging trust?

What's more, nowadays, no matter Zhou Enlai, Boss Zhu, or even several senior officials of the Red Army, they also value He Zhengdao's talent.If the Red Army can have a few more generals like this, I believe it is very possible to compete with the Central Army in the future!

In the first battle with the independent column, two garrison brigades were lost.Deng Xihou, who was far away in Meishan, also looked very angry.But what is even more angry is that the other warlords refused to save them.

Even if this situation was expected in advance, Deng Xihou also felt very angry when this kind of thing actually happened.This kind of "sweeping the snow before each door" made Deng Xihou also realize that he could not fight head-on with the independent column.

He really crippled his main force, and he won't have anything to say in Sichuan in the future.For this reason, Deng Xihou finally said that he could do nothing about Baoxing and Lushan's help telegrams, and let them fight and retreat at that time.

The main force of the 28th Army guarding Meishan began to build fortifications around Meishan.Such a move undoubtedly tells the other warlords that he only needs to keep his own territory.

As for whose territory the independent column will attack next, don't blame him for being desperate.Now that his troops have suffered losses, the others must also pay a price.

At least Deng Xihou can be sure that the Red Army will not stay in Sichuan for long.The reason is very simple, I really have to stay in Sichuan and not leave.These self-respecting Sichuan warlords may really fight the Red Army desperately.

And the situation in front of them is far from the time when they work together to fight the Red Army.Therefore, in Deng Xihou's view, it is also a wise choice to properly preserve strength to see the effect.

Seeing that Deng Xihou did not send troops to help, He Zhengdao quickly adjusted the order of the troops' attack.Order the Second Division to go directly to Baoxing, bypassing Lushan.The Dusan Division is responsible for solving the defenders in Lushan.

As for He Zhengdao himself, he led his only teacher to move across the territory of the two counties and move towards Chengdu.Such a move also shocked the warlords of the Sichuan faction. Yang Sen, who was worried that the independent column would attack his territory, quickly sent two brigades to stop it.

It's just that Yang Sen's troops moved, which meant that there was a loophole in the Sichuan Army's blocking line.After hearing the news, the Red Fourth Front Army immediately dispatched a main division to assault Maogong to meet the Red Front Army that was about to arrive here.

Facing Yang Sen's returning troops to defend Dayi, He Zhengdao also knew how important the Western Sichuan Plain was to the Sichuan Army.If the independent column is really allowed to rush in, I believe that these Sichuan warlords will suffer heavy losses.

After receiving the information from the reconnaissance troops, He Zhengdao looked at the topographical map, and quickly said: "Give me an order, the second division and the third division should speed up and eliminate the defenders in Lushan and Baoxing. The aftermath will be handed over to the political commissar." The recruit brigade is in charge.

The first division immediately launched a rapid march, and had to take down the ancient town of Xinchang before Yang Sen's main force came back to help.In this battle, we must come up with the 'iron feet' kung fu of housekeeping.Carry three days of combat supplies and set off immediately! "

After ordering the only division to start a rapid march, He Zhengdao also ordered the main force of the other two divisions to speed up the encirclement and suppression.In fact, as the main forces of the two divisions advanced, the isolated and helpless Baoxing defenders quickly disarmed and surrendered.

As for the defenders guarding Lushan, facing the approach of the third division of the independent column, they also did not last long.After the defeat of the outer positions, the defenders in the city quickly fled in the direction of Meishan.

Xiao Jinguang, who knew that by taking Dayi, he would seize the initiative in the war.When negotiating with Liu Wenhui about the captives and the territory, he also appeared extremely quick.After the money and goods were obtained, these burdens that dragged down the march were thrown to Liu Wenhui.

According to He Zhengdao's request, Xiao Jinguang led the recruit brigade to station in Baoxing, as for the ownership of Lushan.According to He Zhengdao's request, quotes were given to Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou respectively, and whoever had the higher price would give it to the other.

In addition, for the troops captured in Baoxing, Xiao Jinguang also asked people to bring He Zhengdao and Boss Zhu's personal letters and asked them to pass them on to Deng Xihou.There is only one meaning in the letter, and the independent column does not want to be an enemy.

It was only in order to respond to the main force to go northward to fight against Japan smoothly that the independent column made the move to attack his defense area.This act of slapping a sweet date made Deng Xihou also feel very speechless.

But he also knows that whoever wins Lushan will be able to win Baoxing.If Lushan is occupied by Liu Wenhui, then his 28th Army will probably be blocked by Liu Wenhui if he wants to continue to expand the territory.

Therefore, even if he is afraid of hating the independent column, he must accept the goodwill thrown by the independent column.As for Liu Wenhui, although he felt a little regretful, he knew that he couldn't afford the money.

This time, he was already content to get Tianquan City from the Red Army.For this reason, it was also very unkind, and acted as a foil for the independent column to raise prices, which made Xiao Jinguang laugh and say that Liu Wenhui is a good man!

Leading a brigade of recruits, as well as the recruited prisoners of the Sichuan Army, Xiao Jinguang also has more than 1 troops in his hands.With such a force, Deng Xihou, who had suffered consecutive defeats, also ignored Xue Yue's order to pursue.

He even directly responded to the cable report: "Our army has suffered heavy losses in weapons and personnel, and is no longer able to pursue the Red Army."

The simple reply made Xue Yue equally angry.But what made him even more angry was that Liu Wenhui had the same attitude as Deng Xihou.They turned a blind eye to the Red Army occupying Baoxing, and refused to send troops to fight the Red Army.

At this moment, He Zhengdao, who had taken the first step to occupy Xinchang Town, also breathed a sigh of relief.Facing Yang Sen's troops who were still a day away from them, He Zhengdao quickly issued an order to prepare for battle.

Seeing the tiredness of the officers and soldiers of the army, He Zhengdao still said: "Comrades, everyone should persevere. We are tired, and the enemy is also more tired than us. At this time, it depends on who can persevere to the end.

Next, I will give you half a day to rest.Before tomorrow morning, you must enter the blocking position and wait for the encirclement of the follow-up main force.As long as this battle is fought well, we will then have the initiative on the battlefield. "

Facing He Zhengdao's order, these officers and soldiers of the first division also knew it.They have already seized the opportunity, and the chances of winning have undoubtedly increased a lot.If we can fight this battle well, maybe we can really try to fight Chengdu Mansion.

If Chengdu can be captured, it will also be a huge shock for the Sichuan army.At least the Sichuan Army, which participated in the encirclement and suppression of the main force of the Red Army, must not be able to stay on the front line, and will definitely return to the division for rescue.

When the First Division arrived at Xinchang Ancient Town in the middle of the night, they began to rest and recover their strength.However, He Zhengdao led them here overnight and settled the reconnaissance battalion of the town hall, and began to look for a suitable location for blocking.

Early the next morning, the officers and soldiers of the first division who finally had a hot meal also arrived at the blocking positions selected in advance.Next, they will be here to block the two main brigades that Yang Sen came back to aid.

Although in terms of strength, Yang Sen's troops are superior.But for He Zhengdao, such a defensive battle also has a great advantage for the Red Army.What's more, the first division is the unit with the most machine guns in the entire column.

When the first division began to build the fortifications, the reconnaissance battalion that had arrived here earlier had been divided into several teams.At the beginning, they launched a harassing operation against Yang Sen's troops who returned to Dayi, delaying their marching speed.

As for the independent second and third divisions, they also knew that time was running out.They are now only half a day away from the first division.This also means that by the time Yang Sen's department starts the duel with the first division, the main force of the second division and the third division will almost arrive.

As long as the main force of the second and third divisions arrives, it will be the moment for the independent column to defend and counterattack.With the elimination of these two main brigades returning to aid Dayi, I believe Yang Sen will appear even more anxious!

Even Liu Xiang, who was on the front line, had to consider the consequences of losing Chengdu.As for whether to fight Chengdu or not, He Zhengdao thinks it still depends on how quickly the Sichuan army returns to defense and how determined they are to defend Chengdu.

If he felt that there was little hope, He Zhengdao would go around the periphery of Chengdu, take some advantage and turn around to join the main force that was about to join forces in Aba.If the hope is great, He Zhengdao will lead the three divisions to attack Chengdu Mansion.

The two Sichuan Army brigades who came back to help urgently also felt very helpless when they learned that the main force of the Red Army had rushed to seize Xinchang Town ahead of them.You know, they are also desperately rushing back along the way!

Just when they asked Yang Sen whether to move on or wait for follow-up reinforcements to meet.Knowing that Xinchang is only a part of the main force of the independent division, he felt that he should still have great confidence in breaking through the Red Army's resistance.

Therefore, the two main brigades that returned to the aid were quickly ordered to defeat the Red Army that seized the new field before the main force of the independent division came.Only in this way can they guarantee that Dayi will not be occupied by the independent division of the Red Army.

The misjudgment of the intelligence also doomed the fate of the two Sichuan Army brigades.After being harassed by the reconnaissance battalion all the way, they finally arrived outside Xinchang Town, only to find that the Red Army had already built fortifications.

Faced with Yang Sen's repeated strict orders, the two main brigades also desperately launched an attack.But after some fighting, it was discovered that the blocking Red Army's firepower was stronger than that of the Red Fourth Front Army that had fought.

Just when they felt that they had suffered heavy losses, they suddenly discovered that a main force of the Red Army had appeared behind them.Being pinched back and forth, they seemed to have no other choice but to surrender.

So far, the dilemma facing several Sichuan warlords has emerged.Should we continue to encircle and suppress the Red Army, or return to defend Chengdu? xh:.74.240.212

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

For many people, Sichuan is also known as the 'Land of Abundance'.And the place that can really claim the reputation of "Land of Abundance" is not the Chuanbian area controlled by Liu Wenhui, but the Western Sichuan Plain centered on Chengdu.

The unique geographical location and superior natural environment made the Western Sichuan Plain a region with very developed agriculture and handicrafts in the history of China. It became the main food supply base and main source of taxation for successive dynasties, so it is called "Tianfu".

For the Sichuan army, the Liangshan area, the Ganzi area, and the Aba area may not be as important as the Western Sichuan Plain.This is why, after learning that the Red Army had occupied Baoxing and Lushan, Yang Sen seemed so anxious to return to aid.

If the Red Army is allowed to enter the Western Sichuan Plain, it means that the foundation of the Sichuan Army will be severely damaged.In contrast, the areas controlled by Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui are all tasteless.

However, Dayi and Qionglai, which are located in the Western Sichuan Plain, are Yang Sen's important military food production areas and taxpayers.Compared with the number of Liu Xiang's troops left behind in Chengdu, his troops in this area are not many.

In Xinchang Town in Dayi, He Zhengdao used the main force of a division to complete the block before Yang Sen's troops.Cooperate with the main force of the two divisions following the former army, encircle and wipe out its two main brigades.When the news spread, even Liu Xiang was shocked.

After annihilating Yang Sen's return force, He Zhengdao looked at the Western Sichuan Plain that was open to him, and said happily: "Okay! Next, I'm afraid that the Sichuan Army that surrounded the main force and the Fourth Red Army will be in a mess.
