Chapter 68: Bing Fronts Directly at Guiyang
When the division successfully defeated the 03rd Division coming to assist, the Guizhou Army garrison guarding Xifeng City also quickly fell into a defeat with the infiltration of the reconnaissance company. In the end, it had to open the city gate and surrender to a regiment outside the city.
Seeing the city gate open, Zhang Cheng also said excitedly: "It's done, order the troops to enter the city as quickly as possible and take over the garrison warehouse and military camp in the city. In addition, post an Anmin notice, and no gangsters are allowed to take the opportunity to cause trouble."
Yes, the leader
The three battalion commanders who were only responsible for feint attacks were also very happy that they could successfully capture Xifeng City. The most important thing is that no one died in such a battle. It can be said that this was a complete victory.
The main force of the regiment rushed out of the city one after another, and soon all controlled the situation in the city. However, as Zhang Cheng entered the city, many people said unexpectedly: "Isn't that Captain Liu? Why did he put on the Red Army uniform again?"
Zhang Cheng, who had been stationed in Xifeng for a while, had dealt with officials and gentry in the city because he pretended to be the commander of the 704th Regiment of the Central Army. Now that he recognized his officials and gentry, he immediately felt very puzzled.
According to the news they received, wasn’t the 704th Regiment completely wiped out by the Red Army? So is the commander of the Red Army in front of him the same person as the commander of the Central Army stationed in Xifeng before him or there are really such similar people in this world?
After successfully taking over the military camp and warehouse, Zhang Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said to the guards beside him: "Give power to the division headquarters, just say we will successfully take down Xifeng City. Please ask for instructions, the next combat plan."
A group of units equipped with radio stations soon sent the telegram to the division. He Zhengdao, who received the telegram, also said unexpectedly: "Didn't this guy let him attack him? Why did you conquer Xifeng City?"
Wang Tianlin heard the questioning and smiled and said, "The guardian of Xifeng is a local garrison regiment of the Guizhou Army. You should know what qualities are for those soldiers. I have asked before that the first regiment took Xifeng and suffered very little casualties."
Okay, then ordered a regiment to control Xifeng City and wait for the main force of the division headquarters to join. At the same time, ordered the reconnaissance company to continue to go forward to reconnaissance and search for the deployment of the Guiyang army's troops.
Also, the news that the 03rd Division was defeated and the division commander He Zhizhong led the remaining troops to break out was sent to the headquarters. In addition, the second and third regiments and the logistics regiment were ordered to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and strive to meet with the regiment before dark.
Yes, the teacher
As Wang Tianlin issued these orders, He Zhengdao still felt a little distressed when he looked at the battle damage reports sent one after another. Nearly one hundred people were killed and more than two hundred people were injured.
But he knew that compared to their killing of nearly 3,000 and captives of nearly 4,000, I am afraid that many people will win a great victory. Thinking of this, He Zhengdao also felt that his heart seemed not hard enough.
One general succeeded and said that he was still a long way from becoming a qualified military commander.
Order the logistics regiment to send the minor and serious wounded to Xifeng City for treatment as quickly as possible. In addition, pack up the bodies of each of the sacrificed officers and soldiers, wait until they arrive at Xifeng City, and find a place to bury them.
Yes, the teacher
The correspondent who heard this order seemed to know that what He Zhengdao didn't like to see the most was that his troops suffered casualties. But the problem was that it was impossible to win such a great victory.
When the division cleaned the battlefield and began to move forward to Xifeng, He Zhizhong, who escaped from the Heaven of Heaven, also had the urge to cry when he looked at his subordinates who were lying on the ground. He knew that his military career was probably about to end.
But he still asked: "How many people have escaped?"
As the report poster, I have sent someone to do the statistics. However, there should be only more than 1,000 people from the Third Regiment who escaped with us. There are still some behind them, but I’m afraid there won’t be too many.
After coming out of the new stage of the drum, the 03rd Division, which had more than 9,000 men, has now almost wiped out the entire army. Such a crushing defeat made He Zhizhong really feel that his fate would not be too good.
Compared with the officers and soldiers of the 03rd Division, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, who were still resting in Maotai Town, listened to Zhou Enlai's laughter before he even entered the house, saying, "Old Mao, the division's victory is a great victory, the 03rd Division, he was crippled."
As the commander of the Red Army, what Mao Taizu and President Zhu like to hear the most is undoubtedly the word "good news". Zhou Enlai, who was also happy, said a few good words when he received the telegram from his division.
Mao Taizu, who received the telegram, looked at the telegram sent by his master and said with satisfaction: "It's true that with such a small casualty, such a big victory is indeed a big victory. This kid seems to be a little commanding level."
Mr. Zhu, who heard this, also smiled and said, "Mao, are you too strict with Xiao He? Although the division has the advantage of ambush, he has no advantage in terms of military strength.
In this case, he still won such a big victory, and you should perform well. It’s a pity that He Zhizhong actually escaped. However, when he returns to the new stage of the drum, he will probably vomit blood."
The Red Ninth Army, which is now attacking the Guxinchang, has not yet completely eliminated the Guizhou Army in the Guxinchang. However, from the current situation, victory is a matter of time. In this way, the main force of the Red Army will enter western Guizhou, which is smooth.
At this time, Zhou Enlai also said in time: "Old Mao, according to the telegram we intercepted, the Sun Du tribe of the Yunnan Army has headed towards Guiyang. It seems that Lao Jiang is really worried that the old nest will not be protected, so he asked the Yunnan Army to come and protect the carriage."
Oh, how many people have come
Probably the force of a division
After listening to the latest information provided by Zhou Enlai, Mao Taizu and General Zhu also began to analyze the combat map. Looking at the flag of the standard Sun Du tribe, Mao Taizu nodded and said, "It seems that the passage into Yunnan has also been opened."
Yes, however, we still have to seize the time and enter Yunnan before they can react. Otherwise, if the Yunnan army really blocks us on the border between Yunnan and Guizhou, we will have trouble when the main force of the Central Army commanded by Zhou Hunyuan returns to the aid.
When the commanding the division as the main force to induce the temptation, Mao Taizu's strategic intention was to transfer the Yunnan Army. Now that this strategic intention is realized, what the main force of the Red Army needs to do is to transfer as quickly as possible.
As the Red Ninth Army received a telegram from the new stadium of the Begun Field, Mao Taizu immediately ordered the Red First Army to serve as the main vanguard and began to march towards the Yunnan-Guizhou border. The other main forces of the Red Army also began to set off overnight.
The Red Army soldiers who do not need to fight and have sufficient supplies do not feel that it is hard to deal with such night marching. Compared to the past period, when fighting and rushing on the road, the situation is undoubtedly much better now.
The telegram from Sun Du's army to assist Guiyang was also forwarded to the division by the headquarters. Seeing this situation, He Zhengdao, who had just arrived in Xifeng City, immediately convened a meeting of the battalion commander to discuss the next combat plan.
Knowing that the division must compete with the Sun Du tribe who came to assist, He Zhengdao quickly calmed down the combat plan of coercing Guiyang and ambushing Sun Du tribe. Because, the newly formed 02nd Division around Guiyang had already entered Guiyang City.
He Zhengdao was also happy to see Chairman Jiang trying to defend Guiyang City to the death. After all, he never thought that he would actually attack Guiyang City and arrest the Chairman Jiang. Now Chairman Jiang's dispatch of troops has given him a chance.
The main force of the Third Division, who had been resting for a few minutes in Xifeng City, began to advance quickly towards Guiyang along the Xifeng line. He Zhengdao led the logistics regiment and rushed towards Guiyang without any obstacles.
For a moment, the entire Guiyang area became more and more popular. Many people who were concerned about this war felt that Chairman Jiang, who came to Guiyang to supervise the war, was afraid that in his dream, the Red Army could actually fight to Guiyang.
Under such circumstances, it seems that the whole country's attention has been focused on Guiyang. On the other hand, when entering Qianxi, the main force of the Red Army who was moving forward in a low-key manner seemed to have been forgotten.
Sun Du, who accepted the order to rush to help, received several telegrams of urging a day. But for Sun Du, unless he could fly, it would take as long as three days for the Yunnan military advisor to drive away Guiyang.
Seeing the constant news, Chairman Jiang, who was in charge of Guiyang, actually seemed a little nervous. But he knew that as long as Guiyang City was not broken, he would be safe. Just for safety reasons, the airport was controlled by his guard battalion.
Once the Red Army really attacks Guiyang City, even if he doesn't want to lose face, he is better than those who may lose his life in Guiyang. What we need to see next is whether the main force of the Red Army can really conquer Guiyang.
At least in the view of many people who are paying attention to this war, if the Red Army conquers Guiyang, it will only win some honorary victories. On the contrary, in that case, the main force of the Red Army will face the counterattack of returning to aid and encircling the army.
But before the last moment of the mystery was revealed, I am afraid that no one will predict what this war will turn out to be.
