In this way, the troops of the Kuomintang Xiangfan division, which had already arrived in Xiaogan City, had immediately retreated after hearing that Wuhan was captured by the Red Army on the 25th. The troops of the Kuomintang Xiangfan division, which had rushed to flee north, also became the on-site meal for the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army.

After hearing the fall of the three towns in Wuhan on the evening of the 25th, the three divisions of Xiangfan fled overnight.

They are still secretly glad for the past two days, fortunately they are escaping quickly.

Otherwise, when the Red Army recovers, their three divisions will not become dumplings and be eaten by others in one bite.

But they never expected that when they thought they had retreated to Suizhou after a day or two nights, and the large Red Army troops were still following them, they encountered the extremely powerful firepower attack of the Red Army in Luoyang Town, Suizhou.

These three divisions retreated to the area around Luoyang Town, Suizhou on the morning of the 27th.

When everyone was secretly relieved, they were hit by the tenacious blockade of the Red Seventh Division and were knocked out suddenly.

The 7th Red Division built a crescent-shaped defense circle in the Luoyang Town area. The three divisions of Xiangfan are now blocked, and there are Red Army troops chasing them behind them.

After a long time of rushing left and right, and fleeing east and west, finally on the evening of the 27th, the main force of the Red Third Front Army's outer line army led by Xun Huaizhou arrived on the battlefield.

Since then, there is no longer any suspense in the battle.

At two o'clock in the morning on the 28th, the three divisions of Xiangfan had a total of more than 37,000 people, and were completely wiped out by the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army.

On the morning of the 28th, Wang Ruchi commanded the main force of the 12th Red Division to advance eastward, and had successfully captured two important Yangtze River towns in Ezhou, Hubei and Huanggang.

According to the instructions of Xunhuaizhou, the Red Eleventh Division took three days off in Wuhan, and replenished and carried a lot of guns, ammunition, grain and medicine. It began on the night of the 28th and began to move secretly towards Yichang under Qiao Xinming.

At this point, the Hubei war in the decisive battle in Central China initiated by Xunhuaizhou was basically over.

At this time, the Jiujiang Battle initiated by the Inner Legion of the Red Third Front Army had reached its perfect end under the command of Su Yu.

Starting from the siege of the five divisions in Nanchang at 10:00 am on the 25th, the Jiujiang Battle has no longer had much variables.

Under the powerful attack power of the inside legion, although the five divisions led by Gu Zhutong are also very powerful, they are not opponents of the inside legion of the Red Third Front Army.

After three days of fierce fighting, the battle was basically over on the evening of the 27th. Five divisions had more than 70,000 people, most of which were captured by the Red Third Front Army, and a small number of enemies who resisted tenaciously were shot dead, and the battlefield entered the final stage.

At this time, Su Yu left some troops to clean the battlefield and escort the prisoners to seize them, and personally led a large army to the east of Anhui to Liangtian Township, Dongzhi County, Anhui again.

At this time, the division commander Xiang Dongfa and Liu Ying, deputy commander of the Southern Anhui Military Region, had led more than 8,000 main troops of the Second Brigade of the 16th Red Division and nearly 20,000 local troops of the Southern Anhui Military Region in Liangtian Township, Dongzhi County to block nearly 50,000 troops from the fourth Kuomintang division to Jiujiang from Chizhou and Tongling to Jiujiang for two days and two nights.

The blocking troops fought very fiercely.

The troops of these four Kuomintang divisions arrived in Liangtian Township on the morning of the 25th.

First of all, Liu Ying led nearly 20,000 local troops, using the method of blocking sneak attacks, so that the strength of the more than 50,000 people was stuck in this area and it was difficult to advance.

On the afternoon of the 25th, Xiangdongfa led the Second Brigade of the 16th Red Division to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the remaining enemies in Anqing direction, and immediately led the Second Brigade of the 16th Red Division to advance eastward and began to undertake the main task of blocking the four divisions of Chizhou and Tongling.

At this time, the enemy had already known that Jiujiang was lost, two divisions in Anqing surrounded and annihilated, and five divisions in Nanchang were surrounded by the Red Army.

Therefore, under the strict orders of Gu Zhutong and Chiang Kai-shek, they launched an attack on the Red Army's blocking troops even more frantically.

However, under the command of Liu Ying and Xiang Dongfa, the Second Brigade of the 16th Red Division and the local troops of the Southern Anhui Military Region fought extremely tenaciously.

Through layers of blocking and local raids, the four divisions only advanced more than thirty miles in two days and two nights.

On the night of the 27th, these four divisions had already known the news that the five divisions in Nanchang were annihilated. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also ordered the four divisions to retreat to Wuhu immediately.

But Liu Ying and Xiang Dongfa could throw away the fat piece that had been held in the mouth of the inside legion of the Red Third Front Army.

Long before the idea of ​​these four divisions trying to escape, Liu Ying and Xiang Dong issued a secret command of most of the troops to move eastward under Su Yu's telegram, transforming from blocking the enemy's advance westward to blocking the enemy's return eastward.

This block is even more cruel.

After learning that the second-line army of the Jiujiang Battle dispatched by Wuhu and Hefei had retreated urgently on the evening of the 27th and could no longer be put into the Jiujiang battlefield, the enemy troops in Chizhou and Tongling became even more crazy.

Because they knew that they would have a glimmer of hope only if the main force of the Southern Anhui Red Army reached the battlefield before the main force of the Anhui Red Army arrived at the battlefield.

Therefore, the four Kuomintang divisions almost all planned the regiment without any effort, and launched a fierce attack on the Second Brigade of the 16th Red Division and the local troops of the southern Anhui Military Region.

However, Liu Ying and Xiang Dongfa fought extremely resolutely, and the troops fought extremely tenaciously.

Although the battle was very fierce and the Red Army suffered great casualties, it failed to let the enemy retreat one more step.

At 6 a.m. on the 28th, the 16th Red Division, which completed the entire annihilation of the remaining enemies in Jiujiang, rushed to the Liangtian Township battlefield after forcibly marching.

This reduced the pressure on the 1st Brigade of the 16th Red Division and the local troops in southern Anhui.

At 5 a.m. on the 29th, after a one-and-two night forcing troops and rushing two hundred miles, the main force of the Red Third Front Army's internal army, finally arrived at the battlefield in Liangtian Township, Dongzhi County under Su Yu's leadership.

At this point, there was no suspense in the Battle of Jiujiang. In less than half a day on the morning of the 29th, the inside legion of the Red Third Front Army wiped out all the troops of the four divisions in Chizhou and Tongling.

A large amount of prisoner military funds were captured again.

Then Su Yu commanded some troops of the inner army to continue to advance eastward. On June 2, the inner army of the Red Third Front Army captured the three cities of Anqing, Chizhou and Tongling, which were guarded by only a few local security regiments.

At this time, the Kuomintang Wuhu and Hefei troops had already retreated in a hurry. The Jiujiang Battle was all over.

When the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy troops in Xiangfan in the early morning of the 28th, Xun Huaizhou had ordered Huang Yingte to lead the Red Seventh Division to carry forward the spirit of continuous combat without fear of fatigue.

After a brief battlefield rest, he immediately entered Yichang, an important Yangtze River town in western Hubei, and at the same time searching Huaizhou gave Huang Yingte the death order.

Huang Yingte was required to force more than 400 miles within five days, and the troops must complete the occupation of Yichang City before the evening of June 3rd.

Before this, Xunhuaizhou had already ordered Zhou Gangshan, who was originally in Wuchang, to lead the first and second squadrons of the special operations team to advance westward to cooperate with Huang Ying's special troops to occupy Yichang City.

On the night of June 2, the Red Seventh Division finally arrived outside Yichang City through a forcibly marched for five consecutive days.

With the strong cooperation of the special forces members led by Zhou Gangshan, Huang Yingte commanded the Red Seventh Division to launch a sneak attack on Yichang City unexpectedly.

Although Yichang City is also stationed in the two divisions of the Kuomintang Central Army.

However, after the special forces members used special means to control the division headquarters and secretly opened the north city gate.

More than 20,000 people from the Red Seventh Division, who pretended to be the Kuomintang army, drove into Yichang City in a swagger.

And when the Kuomintang army was inexplicably disarmed, it completed the disarming mission to him.

A very small number of Kuomintang officers and soldiers who dared to resist were shot dead on the spot. In the early morning of the third day, Yichang City was successfully controlled by the Red Third Front Army.

At the same time, the first unit of the 14th Red Division also arrived in Jingzhou City, Hubei in accordance with the orders of Xunhuaizhou. With the cooperation of the members of the Third Squadron of the First Special Operations Brigade, on the night of June 2, it successfully occupied Jingzhou City, which was guarded by the local security brigade.

At this point, the war in Hubei has all ended.

On June 3, the Central China Battle initiated by the Third Red Army was successfully concluded.

From the night of May 20th, the inside legion of the Red Third Front Army fired the first shot at Jiujiang City, and to the end of the successful occupation of Yichang City in the early morning of the sixth and threeth day. In a total of fifteen days, the Red Third Front Army successfully completed the battle in Central China.

In the battlefields of Anhui, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, nearly 500,000 Kuomintang troops fought a life-and-death battle, and completed the annihilation of more than 370,000 people in the 31st division of the Kuomintang regular army, and more than 40,000 local security forces in the Kuomintang. Among them, more than 36,000 people were killed, more than 380,000 enemy troops were captured, and more than 26,000 were seriously injured.

In the battle of Central China, the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army completed an astonishing record of annihilated 16 divisions of the Kuomintang regular army, and the inner legion of the Red Third Front Army also completed an impressive record of annihilated 15 divisions of the Kuomintang regular army.

In this battle, two important Yangtze River towns, Wuhan, Hubei and Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and controlled the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from Yichang, Hubei to Tongling, Anhui.

It actually controls most of Hubei, northeastern Jiangxi and southern Anhui in central China.

There are countless weapons captured.

Although Xun Huaizhou often asked the Chairman for instructions on the latest battlefield situation after the start of the battle, the Chairman also knew that the Central China Battle was developing in the most favorable direction of the Red Army.

However, when Zhou Enlai handed over the results report of the Central China Battle sent by Xun Huaizhou to him on the morning of June 3, his hands were still trembling with excitement. The Chairman quickly finished reading the results report of the Central China Battle.

I couldn't help but hold Zhou Enlai's hand tightly excitedly, and Zhou Enlai was also excited and happy by the news of the great victory of the East China Battle.

The two great men in modern Chinese history held their hands tightly together, and they were all very excited.

After a long time, the Chairman spoke first: "Enlai, I suggest that the Central Standing Committee be convened immediately."

"We need to discuss the current situation and the development of the situation after the end of the Central China Battle of the Red Third Front."
