Chapter 102 Central China Final Battle VI

At the same time, the Jiujiang siege troops and the Red Third Front Army's inner line troops that surrounded and annihilated the remaining troops in Anqing direction also launched the final general attack.

In less than half a day, the remaining enemies who had long lost their fighting spirit and were waiting for the final fate were completely wiped out.

Of course, most of the enemies were captured, and only a very small number of enemies who fought stubbornly were annihilated on the spot.

Since then, the overall situation of Jiujiang battlefield has been decided, and the idea of ​​a decisive battle in Central China in search of Huaizhou has been completed.

Just as Su Yu led the inner legion of the Red Third Front Army and opened and closed the Jiujiang battlefield, Xun Huaizhou led the main force of the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army and was also launching the magnificent Wuhan Battle.

On the evening of the 21st, Wang Ruchi led the 11th Division and more than 40,000 people from the 12th Division, with the cooperation of two squadron members of the First Special Forces Brigade led by Zhou Gangshan, secretly crossed the river in Maoshan Town downstream of Huangshi.

With lightning speed, they surrounded Huangshi, an important Hubei town in Huangshi. At this time, the troops of the two Kuomintang divisions in Huangshi were preparing to board the ship and go to the Jiujiang battlefield after a day of decoration.

Therefore, Huangshi City's defense is very empty, how can it withstand the attack of the powerful Red Third Front Army's external legion.

After Wang Ruchi commanded the army to launch an attack, Huangshi City was soon captured.

While Wang Ruchi was commanding the troops to attack the city, Zhou Gangshan had already commanded the members of the First Special Operations Group to sneak into the two Kuomintang frigates and several troop transport ships anchored on the Yellowstone Wharf through special means.

After quietly killing the sentry, the members of a large squad of special operations quickly controlled the core parts of these warships and secretly captured the sailors on the ship.

When Wang Ruchi's army attacked the dock, most of the enemy troops who were ready to go obediently became prisoners of the Red Army, and a few enemies who dared to resist were annihilated on the spot.

In this way, Wang Ruchi led his army to capture Huangshi City, an important Yangtze River town overnight, seized several warships of the Kuomintang Navy, blocked the Yangtze River waterway, blocking the possibility of Wuhan's enemy going east along the Yangtze River to reinforce the Jiujiang battlefield.

Early in the morning of the 22nd, Wang Ruchi left only a small number of troops to station in Huangshi, completed the cleaning of the battlefield, identified the prisoners, and made preliminary preparations for the future reorganization of prisoners.

He led the 11th Red Division and the main force of the 12th Red Division quickly advanced west along the south bank of the Yangtze River and rushed to the Wuhan battlefield.

On the same night when Wang Ruchi led his army to capture Huangshi, Xunhuaizhou personally led more than 70,000 main forces of the Red Third Front Army, which had been secretly transferred to the remote suburbs of Wuhan, and began to launch the Wuhan Battle.

This time, Xunhuaizhou did not invest all its troops in the siege of Wuhan, but instead kept more than 30,000 people from the Red Seventh Division and the Red Third Front Army's outer line troops as the general reserve team.

On the one hand, the general preparations are prepared to block the reinforcements from the Kuomintang in Jingzhou, Hubei and Xiangfan.

On the other hand, it was also to cause Chiang Kai-shek to siege Wuhan, which was a partial division that was unable to truly capture Wuhan, but was just to cooperate with the Jiujiang Battle, which was mainly used to restrain the illusion of the enemy in Hubei.

The move of searching Huaizhou really confused Chiang Kai-shek and other Kuomintang generals. Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered most of the troops that were originally planned to be deployed to the Jiujiang battlefield and the four Wuhan divisions who had already been transferred to the Wuchang direction of Jiangnan, and immediately cross the river and return north.

On the one hand, we must ensure that strategic important cities like Wuhan do not suffer any losses at all, and on the other hand, we must find an opportunity to annihilate this side division that secretly crossed the river by the Communist Army in southern Anhui.

At the same time, part of the military force remained in Wuchang City, Jiangnan, ready to resist the Red Army's troops coming from Huangshi.

At the same time, the forces of the three Kuomintang divisions in Xiangfan, Hubei were urgently ordered to rush to Wuhan City at night.

The two divisions of Jingzhou City also rushed to Wuhan at night.

To ensure that the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers who were encircled and annihilated to the southern Anhui Red Army and entered the Hubei battlefield.

The battle to siege Wuhan was very strange because the troops were invested in a relatively small amount of troops. Xunhuaizhou implemented a bluff to the siege of Wuhan, focusing on breakthroughs and gradually eroding strategies to break through the city defense of Wuhan little by little.

To this end, after formulating a detailed combat plan, Xun Huaizhou handed over the battlefield command to Peng Ganchen, and he personally led the members of the first brigade of special operations and cooperated with the main force to break through the enemy's positions in one direction every night.

From the evening of the 21st to the early morning of the 25th, the main force of the Red Third Front Army's outer line cut off pieces of meat from the Kuomintang defenders in Wuhan every day by cutting flesh with a knife, breaking through part of the defense every day. In a few days, it also ate more than 30,000 troops from the Wuhan defenders, but the Red Army's own casualties were very small.

What made the Wuhan defenders even more frightened was that from the evening of the 24th, Wuchang City on the south bank of the Yangtze River was also attacked by the Red Army.

Although the offensive was not particularly fierce like Jiangbei, it formed a siege against the Wuhan market.

In addition, the downstream Yangtze River route has been cut off. The upstream Yangtze River route has also been blocked by the Red Army's artillery fire, making the three towns of Wuhan a veritable isolated island.

On the morning of the 25th, when the five divisions of Gu Zhu, the inner army, completed the encirclement of Nanchang, reported the battle situation to Xunhuaizhou as soon as possible.

Xun Huaizhou was also very excited when he received a telegram from Su Yu. Xun Huaizhou learned from the Chairman's secret telegram that the Chairman actually spent a lot of effort to convince several members of the Central Committee. At the same time, under great pressure from all sides, he fully supported Xun Huaizhou's launch of the Central China Battle.

If I can't fight this battle well, there will be too many connections.

Xun Huaizhou knew that the current party was still in his childhood, and it was purely normal for him to have various voices, but he had to use victory after victory to prove that the ideas he proposed were correct.

At the same time, we can support the absolute authority of the Chairman. In this way, the whole party can unify its understanding as soon as possible, thereby reducing many unnecessary line struggles.

Now, Su Yu's troops have completed the encirclement of the five divisions in Nanchang, but they say that their plan to fight for the Central China has been more than half successful.

I believe that with the combat power of Su Yu's troops and the excellent command of General Su Yu, we will soon be able to completely eliminate these enemies. In this way, our army will be in a very proactive position in the entire central China battlefield.

And I was not crazy about Wuhan in the past few days, and finally gained something. I was confused and paralyzed Chiang Kai-shek, causing Chiang Kai-shek to fail to retreat to the Nanchang Legion in time.

Now, it’s time to close the net. After the siege of the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army in Wuhan in the past few days, it is actually a thousand holes and is in danger.

At 12 noon on the 25th, the main force of the Red Third Front Army's external legion, under the command of Xun Huaizhou and Wang Ruchi, reversed the normal state of the Red Army launching a general attack at night. With the bombing of the Kuomintang fighter jets, it began its general attack on Wuhan.

The powerful Red Third Front Army's outer line regiment's first artillery brigade and other general reserve units have also been invested by Xunhuaizhou in the Wuhan General Attack operation.

When the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army truly showed its powerful attack power and the endless artillery fire continued to explode on the Wuhan defenders' positions, the Wuhan defenders finally realized it.

It turned out that the Red Army besieged Wuhan was not a partial division, but an attack force that was stronger than the Red Army besieged Jiujiang.

Now, the enemy in Wuhan became really panicked. The Wuhan Kuomintang army, which had only more than 50,000 defenders, quickly lost its final will to resist under the powerful firepower of the Red Army's outer line army and the treacherous raid of the special operations brigade.

Many troops chose to surrender in an established system, which made the progress of the general attack on Wuhan by the Third Front Army surprisingly rapid.

By the evening of the 25th, most areas of the three towns in Wuhan were under the control of the Red Army.

There are only sporadic battles in isolated few areas on the battlefield.

Only a very small number of more tenacious defenders resisted stubbornly under the supervision of their superiors. In order not to cause too much damage to the city of Wuhan's three towns, Xunhuaizhou specially let the troops suppress the rhythm of the attack.

For these few enemy troops, special forces such as special forces, led by special forces brigades and divisions under the division, and the siege troops cooperated to eliminate these stubborn enemies.

The main force of the Red Third Front Army began to secretly transfer to the north of the city.

In the early morning of the 26th, there were no guns and cannons in the three towns of Wuhan. More than 90,000 troops from the seven Kuomintang divisions of the three towns of Wuhan were all annihilated. At this point, the victory of the Wuhan Battle was successfully over.

As soon as the Wuhan Battle ended, Xunhuaizhou sent a telegram to Wang Ruchi to command the 12th Red Division to immediately advance eastward, and captured only a few Hubei local security brigades guarding both sides of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Xun Huaizhou himself led the 13th Red Army, the 14th Division and the direct troops of the Legion rushed to Xiaogan, Hubei at the speed of a marching force.

Just when Xun Huaizhou led the Red Thirteenth and the 14th Division were heading towards Xiaogan to prepare to encircle and annihilate the enemy troops of the three divisions rushing to support Wuhan from Xiangfan, Huang Yingte led the extremely fierce unit of the Red Seventh Division, which had already divided the two Kuomintang divisions from Jingzhou to support Wuhan on the vast plain southeast of Xiantao County, Hubei at noon on the 25th.

Although there are more than 20,000 people, the two divisions of the Kuomintang are not the main divisions of the ace. In addition, they are prepared and unprepared, and they are the opponents of the Red 7th Division, the most powerful Red 3rd Front Army.

Surrounded by the powerful firepower and bravery of the Red Seventh Division, the resistance and suppression of these two divisions were quickly defeated.

Most of the enemy troops chose to give up resistance, and a small number of enemies who resisted stubbornly were annihilated on the spot by the Red Seventh Division.

The Red Seventh Division launched an encirclement and annihilation operation between the two divisions in Jingzhou at noon, and by 7 o'clock in the evening, the battle was all over.

With extremely small casualties, the Red Seventh Division wiped out more than 23,000 people from two divisions in Jingzhou, and most of the enemies were disarmed and captured.

Subsequently, the Red Seventh Division only left a few troops on the battlefield and escorted the prisoners. Huang Yingte himself led the main force of the Red Seventh Division to head north at night and used the speed of forcing the force to penetrate directly into Suizhou, Hubei.

After a day and two nights, it took me more than 260 miles, and finally arrived at the Luoyang Town, Suizhou at 5 a.m. on the 27th, and set up an ambush.
Chapter completed!
