After asking for instructions and reporting on Xunhuaizhou, Qiao Xinming led the Chongqing Peripheral Corps to reorganize and renovate more than 20,000 Sichuan Army prisoners in the southwest of Chongqing City..com

After nearly ten days of screening and sorting, more than 16,000 surrendered soldiers were obtained. According to the instructions, Qiao Xinming reorganized these surrendered soldiers into the Third Guard Division of East Sichuan.

In this way, by July 12, the number of the Red Army's Chongqing garrison outer legion led by Qiao Xinming had reached nearly 50,000.

In addition, the inner guard forces in Chongqing City are 20,000, which has exceeded the total number of troops currently used by the Sichuan Army to besiege Chongqing.

On July 13, Qiao Xinming led the Chongqing garrison outside army to cross the Yangtze River from Luohuang Town in southwestern Chongqing, and rushed towards the Sichuan Army siege entrenched in the northwest of Chongqing City.

The Sichuan Army's siege group saw that the Red Army had 50,000 or 60,000 troops outside Chongqing City, and crossed the Yangtze River and came to fight towards it.

If he dared to be negligent, he immediately asked Liu Xiang for instructions while joining the troops, stop siege and prepare to retreat.

The Chongqing garrison outside army led by Qiao Xinming all crossed the Yangtze River in less than two days.

Starting from the afternoon of the 14th, the outer legions launched an attack on the Sichuan Army's siege.

At this time, the Sichuan Army's siege corps had already received Liu Xiang's order and had evacuated the battlefield one after another since yesterday.

However, there are 70,000 Sichuan troops, and they are just evacuated.

On the way to retreat, Qiao Xinming led the Red Army to guard the Chongqing garrison and the outside garrison, and began to pursue the Sichuan Army troops relentlessly.

The pursuit did not end until July 17th. Although the Sichuan army fled very resolutely, it was still bitten by the brave Qiao Xinming tribe.

When the Sichuan Army fled back to Chengdu, there were only more than 40,000 troops left with more than 70,000 troops.

The troops were eaten by the Red Army in a row and more than 20,000 people were eaten by them.

At this point, the Chongqing defense war ended successfully.

Qiao Xinming led the Red Army's Chongqing garrison personnel.

Not only did they successfully save Chongqing, but they also killed nearly 50,000 Sichuan troops.

After two expansions, Chongqing's garrison troops reached more than 70,000.

Starting from late June, Wang Ruchi led the main force of the Red Third Front Army's outer line army and the five newly reorganized new recruit divisions to set off from all over Hubei and arrived in Chongqing in mid-July.

Wang Ruchi and Peng Ganchen arrived in Chongqing on the 17th.

According to the order of the Military Commission, after Wang Ruchi and Peng Ganchen arrived in Chongqing, they were immediately responsible for the temporary command of the troops in Chongqing and were responsible for sweeping all enemies in the eastern Sichuan area.

Ensure the Red Army's absolute control over the eastern Sichuan region and connect the eastern Sichuan region with the western Hubei region.

Therefore, Wang Ruchi started to deploy the battle in eastern Sichuan since he arrived in Chongqing on the 17th.

The outer line of the Red Third Front Army launched the Battle of East Sichuan from the 17th.

The Battle of East Sichuan begins on the 17th and ends on the 26th.

In just ten days, the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army swept across the vast areas of eastern Sichuan, including Guang'an, Dazhou, and Bazhong.

Although not annihilated many Sichuan troops, they firmly controlled the portal of Sichuan.

At the same time, the vanguard has entered the Guangyuan area of ​​northern Sichuan.

It is expected that in a few days, it will be able to occupy the Guangyuan region and hold the gateway to the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hanzhong and Gannan regions.

Prepare for the Red Army to go further north.

It was against this background that the Central Red Army and the Second Red Army arrived in Chongqing on the afternoon of the 23rd.

With the careful preparation and warm welcome from the outer legion of the Red Third Front Army.

Since the transfer in November 1930s and 4, the Central Red Army, which had not lived a stable life, was like returning to its hometown and entering a stable rest.

At this time, the eastern Sichuan region had gathered more than 350,000 troops of the outer line of the Central Red Army and the Third Red Army. It can be said that it is strong and powerful.

But the problems faced are equally serious.

After all, most of the soldiers of this 350,000 army were surrendered.

Among them, the Red Army troops joined the War of Wuhan after the Wuhan campaign, as many as 200,000, including the Central Army and Sichuan Army surrendered soldiers and some new soldiers.

In addition, after the Red Army entered Sichuan, more than 30,000 new soldiers were recruited in eastern Sichuan, which led to the Red Army's troops around Chongqing area reaching about 390,000.

Such large-scale surrender warriors and new recruits made the central bosses who had just arrived in Chongqing feel deeply stressed.

For this reason, the Chairman sent a telegram to Xun Huaizhou and quickly returned north to preside over the reorganization of the Chongqing Red Army.

Therefore, when Xun Huaizhou rushed back to Chongqing on the 26th, the chairman arrested the strong man, put countless questions in front of him, and asked him to give an answer.

Faced with the current complex situation, Xun Huaizhou, who came from later generations, also felt a headache.

The problem of reorganization of these prisoners in Xun Huaizhou is not the problem of Xunhuai.

What made him most troubled was the balance of relationships in all aspects.

Although Xun Huaizhou's resignation application officially came into effect from the moment the Central Red Army arrived in Chongqing.

However, considering Xun Huaizhou's huge influence in the Third Red Army, the Military Commission still did not issue a formal document.

This problem was also left by the Chairman to Xun Huaizhou to solve it himself.

After Xun Huaizhou returned to Chongqing on the 26th and had a secret talk with the Chairman overnight.

The next morning, the Chairman smiled relaxed when he walked with Xunhuaizhou to the Yangtze River in Chongqing again.

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee held an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau in Chongqing on the afternoon of July 27.

Members of the Politburo and senior Red Army generals in Chongqing attended the meeting.

Wang Ruchi and Peng Ganchen also attended the meeting as special representatives.

I should firmly shoulder the leadership of the people of the whole country and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country toward the path of common prosperity.

The second is the construction and development direction of our army.

In his report, the Chairman particularly emphasized that the future development of our army should develop towards formalization, groupization, modernization and civilization.

We must specifically impose the construction of grassroots party organizations in the military and strengthen the leadership of the army.

At the same time, the idea of ​​unified organization and allocation of the Red Army across the country was proposed.

Regarding the issue of local government construction, the Chairman emphasized the need to refer to the experience of the anti-Japanese democratic government construction in southern Anhui.

Using a combination of the anti-Japanese democratic government and the anti-Japanese coalition government, four major nationalization principles, including nationalization of strategic resources, nationalization of land and mines, nationalization of financial circulation, and nationalization of cultural education, were established in the areas controlled by the Red Army.

We must ensure the basic living security of the general public and enable the people to gradually live a prosperous and peaceful life.

At the same time, we must vigorously develop ethnic and private economy. Encourage honest individual enterprises to carry out legitimate and legal investment activities in the actual control area.

At the same time, appropriate compensation should be made to the original resource controller and excessive behavior should not be taken.

We must correct the left-leaning or right-leaning behavior in previous land reform work.

We must be vigilant about the infancy behavior in government work.

Strengthen the democratic and legalization construction of regimes at all levels.

We must eliminate the phenomenon of waste from governments and individuals at all levels.

We must establish an anti-Japanese democratic government with efficient integrity and governance for the people.

The report also elaborates on the main development directions of our party and our army in recent times.

A broad anti-Japanese democratic coalition government should be established in the west.

Lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to actively carry out the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement.

Be fully prepared for the upcoming War of Resistance.

The Chairman's report used nearly 10,000 words, which caused great shock to the delegates.

The conference then held a group discussion, and everyone was surprised by the many new ideas and new ideas put forward by the Chairman in the report.

Xunhuaizhou, Wang Ruchi and Peng Ganchen from the Third Red Army gave a detailed introduction to everyone based on what happened in southern Anhui and combined with the chairman's report.

This made everyone gradually understand the Chairman's thoughts.

The meeting lasted for three days, and finally, the meeting unanimously approved the Chairman's report.

At the same time, the new member and member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee was elected, and a list of members of the new Central Committee was selected.

The Chairman was elected as a member of the Party’s Politburo Standing Committee, General Secretary, and Chairman of the Military Commission.

At this meeting, Xun Huaizhou not only continued to be elected as a member of the Politburo.
