Chapter 114: The Great Adaptation of Chongqing
However, in the past few days, Xiao Jinguang had a little bit of a heart, which was that he was worried about the safety of the Red Seventh Division who had been sent out by the Military Commission for many days.
Until now, Xiao Jinguang suddenly realized that the Red Seventh Division had no idea, and the ghost had successfully occupied Guiyang.
How could this not make Xiao Jinguang very excited?
However, such a surprise is nothing to Xunhuaizhou.
All this was as expected by him, otherwise, more than 20,000 people would have been standing alone in search and entered the hinterland of Guizhou.
Similarly, if he had no confidence in the Red Seventh Division at the beginning, he would not have led the Red Seventh Division to attack Chongqing City for thousands of miles.
After receiving the news that the Red 7th Division successfully launched a long-distance attack on Guiyang City, the entire Red 2nd Army caused a sensation.
This is a great good news. Now the main leaders of the Second Red Army Army Group already know that their troops are used to guard Guizhou.
I originally thought that I would face a city like Guiyang City that is attacking Guiyang City in the near future, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At that time, everyone was still a little confused, afraid that the Red Army would rebel again and commit the mistake of being unrealistic when it was encircled and suppressed, and blindly attacking big cities.
Who knew that when his troops had just completed the preliminary training, the powerful Red 7th Division had successfully attacked Guiyang City and completed the occupation of Guiyang City.
Thinking of such things will make these veteran Red Army soldiers who are not used to large corps combat excitedly.
The Red Second Army, which had completed the preliminary training task, left Siqu, a border town in northeastern Guizhou, one after another, and embarked on their journey of conquering Guizhou.
On the same day, Xunhuaizhou bid farewell to the reluctant Xiao Jinguang and the main leaders of the Second Red Army Army, and led Chen Jie and Otian Tian on the journey north to Chongqing.
Because in Chongqing, there are urgent and important things, and are waiting for him to deal with them.
Chen Jie and Oda Tian did not appear in the sight of the Central Red Army.
Although they also followed the Red Seventh Division south, they had been following the army dozens of miles away, walking a more difficult road, advancing while training.
When they arrived outside Siqu Town, the two of them also set up camp in the valley outside the town, continuing their very strict training.
Even if you occasionally enter Siqu Town, you will put on your makeup through the special disguise method given to them by Xunhuaizhou.
Xunhuaizhou basically rushed outside the town late every night to meet these two people and listened to Chen Jie's situation of completing the special training tasks of the Long Group members in the Northeast region.
Since the members of the Long Group were sent to the Northeast region by Xunhuaizhou in May to carry out a special task of promoting training through war.
The Dragon Team members used various means and as fast as possible to arrive in the Northeast region in less than a month.
At the same time, Xun Huaizhou telegrammed Su Yu and asked Su Yu to arrange four special operations teams of the Second Special War Team, a total of twenty people, each of whom secretly penetrated the Northeast using special methods and began a special operations in the Northeast region.
The actions of these four groups of members reported directly to Xunhuaizhou through Chen Jie and accepted Xunhuaizhou's direct leadership.
In fact, Xun Huaizhou gave the Second Special Forces Team the mission to the Northeast to cooperate with the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations activities. They did not know that the existence of the Dragon Team members was just objectively concealing the impact of the Dragon Team members' actions.
Recently, both the Dragon Team members and the Second Special War Team members have carried out effective actions in the Northeast.
In particular, the killing of traitors and the destruction of enemy spies has achieved miraculous results.
Before the Dragon Group set off, Xunhuaizhou compiled a list of traitors who were well-known in the Northeast in his memory, and also handed over the list of some major personnel of the Northeast Kwantung Army and enemy spies to the Dragon Group members.
Therefore, within more than a month after they arrived in the Northeast, they carried out extremely secretive but massive actions to punish traitors, destroy enemy special agencies, and ambush senior officials of the Kwantung Army.
Moreover, after each operation, in the name of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army heading north to fight against Japan, they left behind a trial letter against these Japanese and traitors, listing their crimes, and warning people that if they become Japanese and traitors, they will get such an end.
Similarly, the members of the special operations team also began similar actions, but their combat difficulty was much smaller than that of the members of the dragon team.
In addition, they are also responsible for the task of cooperating with some secret operations of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations.
Xunhuaizhou arranged a group to be responsible for contacting the main leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces at the beginning, and at the same time brought a special set of passwords to the other party to maintain contact with the central government.
The operations carried out by members of the Dragon Group and special forces in the Northeast have caused a lot of trouble to the Kwantung Army's operations in the Northeast.
Because of the powerful traitors, the Kwantung Army's control over the Northeast became much weaker.
Moreover, the actions of the Dragon Group and the Special Forces team members have won a very high reputation for our party and our army in the Northeast.
This brought unexpected convenience to our army's subsequent operations in the Northeast.
Xunhuaizhou arrived in Chongqing on the afternoon of July 26th, and Chongqing had become the ocean of the Red Army.
The main force of the Central Red Army and the Second Red Army set off from Siqu Town on July 15th. After eight days of long journey, they rushed more than 500 miles of mountain roads. On July 23rd, they entered Chongqing City.
At this time, the battle to defend Chongqing City had just ended shortly.
Qiao Xinming led a total of 50,000 Red Eleventh Division, the First and Second Divisions of East Sichuan. Starting from June 30, he joined the vanguard of Liu Xiang's besieging Chongqing.
Qiao Xinming stayed in Chongqing this time. Although his troops were small, he did not place all his troops in Chongqing city to defend.
Instead, only the 1st Brigade of the Red Eleventh Division, which was extremely good at blocking defensive operations and the newly established Second Sichuan Guard Division, formed the Chongqing Guardian Interior Corps, stationed in Chongqing City.
Qiao Xinming issued an order to defend the two troops to persist.
He himself personally led the Second Brigade of the 11th Red Division, the troops directly under the 11th Red Division, and the 1st Guard Division in the East Sichuan, a total of 30,000 people formed the Chongqing Garrison Outer Army, secretly left the city and began the ambush plan.
Although, Liu Xiang transferred 100,000 troops from all over Sichuan this time.
However, the team was relatively mixed and the equipment was even more average. In addition, the time to arrive in Chongqing was different, and it was divided into three large armies and sieges to attack Chongqing.
Such a clumsy tactical deployment really left Qiao Xinming with a relatively large battlefield space for combat.
Liu Xiang mobilized 100,000 troops this time from Chongqing to the west, northwest and southwest respectively.
Among them, the troops from the west and northwest directions came the most urgently, and the coordination was better. They were mobilized from the Chengdu area and the eastern Sichuan plain, with about 70,000 people.
The two troops launched attacks on the Red Army positions outside Chongqing on July 2.
The Sichuan Army was urgently transferred from Luzhou to the Chongqing battlefield with only two divisions and more than 20,000 troops, and at this time, it was two days away from the Chongqing battlefield.
Although the two attack troops in the northwest and western Sichuan Army fought more actively, the attack was very unsuccessful in the face of the Red Army's strong firepower and tenacious style.
The Sichuan Army had nearly 70,000 people. After paying a huge price, it took two days and three days to push the front line less than three kilometers.
Of course, the 11th Red Division and the 2nd Sichuan Eastern Guard Division also paid a considerable price of casualties.
However, according to the casualties ratio, the casualties of the Red Army are already very small.
On the evening of the third day, the battlefield changed dramatically.
The 30,000 Red Army led by Qiao Xinming ambushed the Sichuan Army along the southwest in Anlan Town, 50 miles southwest of Chongqing.
The 30,000 Red Army spent one night to almost wipe out more than 20,000 enemy troops, and only a few of them escaped into the mountains.
Qiao Xinming fought very neatly in this battle.
Before the Sichuan Army could react, it wiped out the enemies who had ignorantly entered the ambush circle.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the Red Army had already captured a large number of prisoners, quietly evacuated the Anlan area and disappeared into the mountains outside Chongqing.
Now, Liu Xiang, who was closely watching the siege in Chongqing, was scared to death.
Is more than 20,000 troops in the southwest of Chongqing in which he besieged Chongqing inexplicably annihilated?
How many troops does the Red Army have when it enters Sichuan this time?
Could it be that the Red Army is preparing to use Chongqing to attract its own troops?
Then there is a lot of your vitality, and then you can easily enter Sichuan?
With a few questions, Liu Xiang immediately organized his own staff to hold a meeting.
At the meeting, Liu Xiang's subordinates' opinions were immediately divided into two factions.
One group advocated that Chongqing should be firmly besieged, and at the same time, more troops should be mobilized immediately to Chongqing to fight the Red Army in the Chongqing area.
We strive to drive the Red Army out of Sichuan when the Red Army had not yet gained a foothold in Chongqing.
Once the Red Army gained a foothold in Chongqing, the Sichuan Plain could not be protected no matter how hard it was.
Another group of people advocated that the troops besieged Chongqing should be evacuated immediately.
Used to enhance the defense of Chengdu and its surrounding areas, while preserving vitality.
Wait for the change of the current situation and choose further action.
These two factions were quarrel at the meeting.
In the end, Liu Xiang decided that he could no longer increase his troops to Chongqing, but immediately mobilized troops to protect the Chengdu area.
At the same time, the troops besieged Chongqing in the western and northwest immediately suspended the attack and moved closer to each other to prevent being divided and surrounded by the Red Army.
After getting closer, the two Sichuan troops maintained an attack on Chongqing City, but were ready to retreat at any time.
After receiving Liu Xiang's order, the Sichuan Army of West Road and North Road immediately moved closer to each other, and finally formed a very bloated Sichuan Army siege group with a total number of 70,000 people in northwest Chongqing.
However, although the Sichuan Army was very bloated, its attack on the positions outside Chongqing City was much smaller in the next few days.
The pressure on the Red Eleventh Division and the Second Sichuan Garrison Division to defend the city was suddenly reduced a lot.
Qiao Xinming of course was happy to see Liu Xiang's deployment.
Chapter completed!
