Starting from the end of August, more than a month of training and training were completed. The main forces of the First Field Army and the Second Field Army, with very high morale, totaled more than 260,000 people...com

Under the leadership of Lin Shuai, Nie Rongzhen, Liu Bocheng and Yang Shangkun, they marched west from the eastern Sichuan region and began the Sichuan Battle that swept across Sichuan Province.

In fact, within more than a month after the Central Red Army arrived in Chongqing, it also wrote to Liu Xiang, the Sichuan Army many times, hoping that he could stop the civil war, lead his troops to revolt, cooperate with the Red Army, and establish a Sichuan Anti-Japanese Alliance Government publicly.

However, Liu Xiang was hesitating and within more than a month, he mobilized 200,000 Sichuan troops, spreading densely near Chengdu, and posed as the Red Army decided to win and lose.

At the same time, Liu Xiang secretly planned to transfer resources to Xikang Province, hoping that after Sichuan was lost, he could retreat to the Sichuan-Tibet border and enter the mountainous areas. He prepared to deal with the Red Army for a long time after it was lost.

However, the Chairman and Xun Huaizhou had long seen through Liu Xiang's intentions, so the two had already formulated a careful and secure Sichuan strategy plan.

Although Xunhuaizhou troops went to the northwest to carry out a secret mission, Xunhuaizhou had already assisted the Chairman in preparing a plan to attack Sichuan before Xunhuaizhou set off.

From a strategic perspective, it is necessary to take Xikang first and then attack Chengdu. Use strong forces to put great pressure on Liu Xiang's troops in Sichuan, strive to prompt Liu Xiang to make the right choice, and liberate Sichuan peacefully.

If Liu Xiang was obsessed with it, then the People's Liberation Army would not mind the army siege and use force to capture various cities in the Sichuan plains such as Chengdu.

Therefore, the People's Liberation Army's First Field Army and the Second Field Army jointly dispatched, but the attack directions were different.

Liu Bocheng and Yang Shangkun led the entire Second Field Army to secretly advance westward under the cover of the First Field Army, bypassing important cities in the Sichuan Basin in Chengdu and directly into Sichuan-Kang Province in western Sichuan.

Lin Shuai and Nie Rongzhen led more than 130,000 First Field Army, divided into two groups, and some of the troops began to set off from Chongqing area in a dignified manner, traveling dozens of miles a day, and began the attack on the Chengdu area.

At the same time, according to the instructions of the Military Commission, the Second Army, which had stabilized control of the Guizhou area, also led a main division and the group artillery regiment and other direct troops, and attacked and advanced from northern Guizhou to southern Sichuan.

By mid-September, the Second Field Army led by Liu Bocheng and Yang Shangkun rushed straight to the Xikang area on the border between Sichuan and Tibet through a long distance. After launching several consecutive battles, it had swept the Xikang Special District on the border between Sichuan and Tibet.

On September 22, the Second Army captured Ya'an and wiped out more than 60,000 Sichuan troops entrenched in Xikang.

Immediately, after strengthening the defense of Sichuan border, the army marched eastward and swept across the Leshan and Meishan areas, heading straight to Chengdu.

At this time, Lin Shuai and Nie Rongzhen had already set off from Chongqing and divided into two parts. Part of them attacked from east to west in a steady manner, and successively recovered the Nanchong and Suining areas. In mid-September, the army gradually approached the periphery of Chengdu.

Another part of the First Field Army used a long-distance raid to penetrate directly into the Mianyang area in northern Sichuan, and captured the city of Mianyang, which was scarce in mid-September. Then the army rushed south and captured Deyang City in late September.

At present, the main force has gradually approached Chengdu from the north of Chengdu.

By the end of September, the 23rd Division of the Second Army commanded by Xiao Ke also successfully captured the Luzhou, Zigong and Neijiang areas, and crossed the Yangtze River and attacked the Chengdu area from the south.

By early October, the first and second field troops and the 300,000 main force of the Second Army directly under the Military Commission had formed an encirclement of the Chengdu area and began to clear out the outer strongholds in Chengdu.

Chengdu, which has concentrated 200,000 Sichuan troops, has become an isolated city and a dead city.

The entire Chengdu city was shrouded in the shadow of the god of death.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Xiang also knew that the situation was hopeless and she could no longer make the situation come true.

After our party strives for and does a lot of work, Liu Xiang formally responded to our party on October 16, accepting the conditions for reorganization of the Sichuan Army in Chengdu proposed by our party, and assisting our party in managing the Sichuan region well.

On October 18, Liu Xiang sent a telegram across the country, announcing that Sichuan region would join the Chinese anti-Japanese coalition government led by ** and accept the transformation of **.

At the same time, our party issued a statement to welcome the feat of the Sichuan Army's uprising, and at the same time appointed Liu Xiang as the governor of Sichuan Province, and began the transformation of new democraticism in Sichuan Province.

Immediately, the Second Army returned to defend Guizhou. The First and Second Field Army captured and revolted more than 200,000 Sichuan troops that captured and revolted in the Chengdu Plain.

Just as the Chengdu Battle was in full swing, the Great Northwest of China was undergoing profound changes, carrying out the largest major reshuffle in China's modern and contemporary history.

Starting from July, when the Red Army in the country was in full swing according to the requirements of the Military Commission.

Under Zhang Guotao's deliberate obstruction, the Fourth Red Army failed to move to eastern Sichuan according to the instructions of the Military Commission, and carried out regular training under the guidance of the Central Committee.

From late July to mid-August, under the insistence of Zhang Guotao and a small group of people who controlled the command of the Red Fourth Territory.

The Fourth Red Front Army had been hesitating in the Gannan area. In late August, Zhang Guotao not only did not implement the Central Committee's instructions, but instead led his team to attack in Ningxia and headed towards a road further and further away from the Central Committee.

Although Xu Xiangqian and many commanders and soldiers of the Red Fourth Front Army did not agree with Zhang Guotao's practice of violating the Central Committee's orders.

However, because Zhang Guotao controlled the voice of the Fourth Red Army, he could only make criticism and struggle, but could not interfere with the direction of the troops' actions.

Later, Zhang Guotao used the instructions of the Communist International to exclude Xu Xiangqian and other leaders of the Red Fourth Front Army who opposed the wrong practices from the core of the Red Fourth Front Army's leadership through the establishment of a front-end committee.

Regarding Zhang Guotao's attitude of refusing to implement the central government's policies and plans, the central government has criticized and educated him through telegrams many times since the end of July. With the purpose of curing the disease and saving people, he presented facts and reasoned his actions, hoping that he could change his mind.

However, Zhang Guotao still insisted on his own actions and began to move towards the path of splitting the party and splitting the Red Army as in history.

However, since the current situation of the Red Army is no longer the same as that of the historical period, most of the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Front Army are firmly standing on the central side.

Zhang Guotao blocked the news through control means and increased the anti-countering efforts against the Red Fourth Front Army. From late August, the Red Fourth Front Army began to set off towards the Tianshui, Pingliang and Guyuan areas. It also cut off its ties with the Central Committee and the Military Commission.

The Fourth Red Army neither asked the Central Committee and the Military Commission nor sought the current strong intelligence support of the Military Commission. Instead, it became an army alone, hoping to build a side of the world in the northwest region alone and open up ties with the Soviet Union. Then relying on the power of the Soviet Union Wang Ming and others to usurp the leadership of the central government.

However, the three horses in the northwest had long since panicked in the initially panic to the later layers of defense, and then to the end, after receiving the strong support of Chiang Kai-shek, they began to set up a shocking conspiracy.

We are preparing to annihilate this 100,000 Red Fourth Front Army, which is prominent, with simple equipment and no support from the rear.

Since the Red Fourth Front Army began to attack and advance towards Ningxia, Gansu in late August, it has lost the wise command of military geniuses such as Xu Xiangqian, and because it deviates from the central government, the people of the troops have become unstable.

So although Tianshui was finally captured in early September through hard battles, the troops suffered a large number of personnel reductions under the harassment and blocking of local militia and Gansu Ma Hongbin.

By the time the troops captured Pingliang on September 9, the troops had reduced their troops to less than 80,000, and they were injured and sick, and were scarce.

However, Zhang Guotao still insisted on his own, hoping to lead the Fourth Red Front Army through Ningxia and enter the Mongolian region, and eventually join the Soviet army entrenched in Outer Mongolia and establish a base on the Sino-Soviet border.

Zhang Guotao, who lacked effective intelligence, did not know that there was a huge trap waiting for him in front of him.

The three horses in the northwest were highly vigilant against this part of the Red Army when the Red Fourth Front Army entered the Gannan region in June. Later, because the Red Army in Chongqing became stronger and stronger and had already penetrated deep into northern Sichuan, it formed a response to the Red Fourth Front Army, and these three horses did not dare to act rashly.

After obtaining the secret report that the Fourth Red Army was unwilling to join the Red Army entrenched in the Sichuan region and instead wanted to march northwest alone through secret intelligence, Sanma was even more surprised and happy.

I was shocked that I was about to face the situation of direct confrontation with the Red Fourth Front Army. I was happy that after losing the strong support of the Red Army in the Sichuan region, the Red Fourth Front Army would become a lonely army. Moreover, there was no rear combat. After the Sanma was cleared against the local area, this part of the Red Army would become more and more difficult.

Although the three horses in the northwest usually compete with each other, their attitude towards the Red Fourth Front Army entering the northwest was surprisingly consistent. When the battle situation really developed as the Sanma expected, Sanma accurately judged the intention of the Red Fourth Front Army to attack Ningxia.

Since August, they have secretly transferred troops, gathering almost all the regular army and local militia armed forces in Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia provinces, with nearly 200,000 people. Starting from late August, they have secretly concentrated in southern Gansu and southern Ningxia.

More than 50,000 people were sent to harass and sneak attacks and blockades in Tianshui and Pingliang areas, slowing down the advancement speed of the Red Fourth Front Army and providing sufficient time for the secret concentration of the coalition forces of the three provinces.
