Due to the loss of the command of the main leader, the Sanma Group's army of more than 100,000 were running around on the battlefield like headless flies...

By the evening of the 19th, in addition to the 50,000 enemy troops in Guyuan City still holding on, the troops of the Sanma Group on the outer battlefield had basically been wiped out.

Some of the enemies were annihilated or captured, and only some of the enemy troops fled in scattered areas and fled back to their respective homes in vain.

Immediately, the First Army encircled Guyuan City, and the Fourth Red Army began to rest and replenish.

Next, it became very easy to siege and encircle Guyuancheng.

In the face of the powerful artillery fire of the First Army, the small Guyuan City almost became a cemetery.

At the same time, siege street combat troops like the First Third Division finally found a good opportunity for practical drills.

They all brought all the various techniques and tactics they had learned before to the siege and street fighting in Guyuan.

In less than two days, Guyuan City was lost, and most of the 50,000 Sanma troops that defended Guyuan City were annihilated, and a small number chose to surrender.

At noon on September 22, the last gunshot in Guyuan area stopped.

The Fourth Red Front Army attacked Guyuan City on the 15th and ended at noon on the 22nd.

The First Army and the Fourth Red Front conducted a shocking reversal in the northwest region.

All Chinese people saw a good show.

In seven days, the grand blueprint for the fully annihilated Red Fourth Front Army carefully planned by the Three Horses in the Northwest was shattered by the joint efforts of the First Army and the Red Fourth Front Army.

From the initial hunter to the final hunter, the repetition of the entire battlefield is too dramatic.

This even makes many historians unable to believe that the First Army and the Fourth Red Army had no contact before No. 16.

Most people think it was a good show staged by the First Army and the Fourth Red Front Army under the secret planning of the Military Commission.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain that the First Army had secretly headed north since mid-August, and every point was perfectly coordinated with the Red Fourth Front Army.

If it is a coincidence, then only gods can fight this battle.

Of course, only the parties involved know that it is actually such a coincidence.

And it was this unintentional coincidence, with Xun Huaizhou's amazing intuition and ability to catch fighter jets like ghosts and gods, who performed this shocking drama.

This battle laid the overall situation in the northwest in one fell swoop.

After Xun Huaizhou asked the Military Commission and the Chairman for instructions, he made proper arrangements for the First Army and the Fourth Red Front Army after the war.

Based on Xun Huaizhou's suggestion, the Military Commission appointed Chen Geng as the deputy commander of the First Army and the acting commander, responsible for commanding the daily operations of the First Army.

Under Chen Geng's direct command, the main force of the First Army began to embark on a long journey of conquering the Northwest.

Xun Huaizhou, who was the commander of the First Group Army, led the 14th Division and the Red Fourth Front Army, which focused on landing and airborne operations and were not easy to play their value in the Northwest battlefield in the future. After preliminary rest and supplementary measures, they escorted more than 100,000 prisoners and a large number of horses and equipment, and embarked on the trip back to Sichuan.

Because time was not tight when returning to the army, the army was relatively calm.

Xun Huaizhou and Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao and others led the Near Red Fourth Front Army and the 14th Division to escort the more than 100,000 prisoners. They walked along the way and marched about six or seventy miles a day. They set off from the Guyuan area of ​​Ningxia on September 24th, and until October 16th, they arrived at the Deyang area north of Chengdu, Sichuan.

Immediately, Xun Huaizhou led the 14th Division back to Chongqing area and began to plan the next combat operation.

On this day, Liu Xiang formally agreed to the negotiation results of our party and the Sichuan Battle actually ended.

The Military Commission ordered the Red Fourth Front Army to stand by in Deyang area, and to be reorganized with the soon-to-retreat Chengdu and the Deyang area to wait for reorganization and Liu Xiangchuan Army.

The People's Liberation Army began to reorganize again after the Chongqing reorganization in history.

By late October, a new reorganization plan was introduced.

Through the transformation of prisoners and uprising soldiers, new soldiers have been absorbed, and the People's Liberation Army in Sichuan has increased its strength by more than 300,000 troops. The remaining prisoners were incorporated into the labor camp and invested in the vigorous infrastructure construction in Sichuan.

This reorganization, the First and Second Field Army expanded again.

The First Field Army is still composed of three armies, but each army is expanded to three main divisions.

At the same time, the artillery, engineering, chemical defense, baggage, guard and other troops directly under the field army were expanded on a large scale. At the same time, the newly established independent division directly under the field army was established and organized into the 101st Division.

After expansion, the total strength of the First Field Army reached more than 270,000. The main leaders of the Field Army remained unchanged.

The Second Field Army was also composed of three armies, each army was expanded to three main divisions. The direct troops of the Field Army were also expanded on a large scale, just like the First Field Army, and the 201st Division of the Independent Division was also added.

After the expansion of the Second Field Army, the total force reached more than 260,000.

The core leadership team of the Second Field Army was adjusted. Liu Bocheng continued to serve as the commander of the Second Field Army, Deng Lao was transferred to serve as the political commissar of the Second Field Army, and Deng Ping continued to serve as the chief of staff of the Second Field Army.

More than 60,000 main troops of the Fourth Red Army were transferred into the First and Second Field Army during this reorganization to strengthen the backbone forces of the First and Second Field Army.

Most of the troops, as backbone, formed the Fourth Field Army.

The Military Commission conducted personnel transfers and exchanges with some middle and senior personnel of the First, Second and Fourth Field Army. Ye Jianying, the chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, was originally scheduled to be appointed as deputy chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army of China. He will no longer serve as chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army.

The commander of the Fourth Field Army was Xu Xiangqian, the former commander-in-chief of the Fourth Red Front Army.

The political commissar of the Fourth Field Army was transferred by Yang Shangkun, a political commissar of the Second Field Army.

The Chief of Staff of the Fourth Field Army was Zeng Zhongsheng, who had just resumed his work.

Chen Changhao, the former general political commissar of the Red Fourth Front Army, was transferred to the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army of China as deputy general political commissar.

After Zhang Guotao first entered Sichuan, he separated from the army and went to Chongqing alone. After the central government criticized and educated him, he made another appointment.

After being reorganized and expanded, the Fourth Front Army was also organized by the Third Army.

They are the 41st Army, the 42nd Army, the 43rd Army, and the 401st Division, the directly affiliated independent division of the Field Army.

Similarly, each army has three main divisions and the Fourth Field Army under its command, which also has more than 260,000 personnel.

This Deyang training starts on October 20th and ends until late November.

At this time, the First Army, led by Chen Geng, captured the cities and villages in the northwest region, and was invincible.

And in mid-November, the First Army swept across Qinghai, Gansu and parts of Ningxia.

The Ningxia area attacked all the way and entered the Yulin area in northern Shaanxi.

A strategic defense force was formed against more than 60,000 troops of the 17th Army of Yang Hucheng's troops of the Northwest Army.

Originally, the 17th Army in the northwest of Yanghucheng had a clear tendency to progress. Since August, our party and army have sent a large number of underground party members, had close contact with the 17th Army and had done a lot of ideological work.

This made General Yang Hucheng and the main generals of the Northwest Army admitted had a relatively clear intention to join the Red Army.

With nearly 200,000 troops from the northwest Sanma in September, the First Army and the Red Fourth Front Army led by Xun Huaizhou jointly resolved.

The 17th Army has actually been alone.

This time, the 11th Army attacked from Ningxia towards Yulin, entered the Yan'an area in late November, and successfully met with Liu Zhidan's troops of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Red Army.

At this time, the No. Filipino Army also initially completed the reorganization.

According to the orders of the Military Commission, the Fourth Field Army began to go north to Hanzhong. In early December, it controlled the Hanzhong area.

A siege was formed for the entire Shaanxi territory.

Yang Hucheng knew that it was time for him to make the final decision.

Not to mention, the Fourth Field Army of the People's Liberation Army has more than 200,000 people joined the Shaanxi battlefield.

With the ability to annihilate nearly 200,000 demons from Sanma, Xun Huaizhou, the First Group of the People's Liberation Army, who served as the commander of the army, as long as he seriously attacked his troops less than 70,000 people, his troops would have long become yesterday's yellow flowers and were wiped out.

**, in the past few months, I negotiated with myself with the greatest sincerity and patience, and took the initiative, because I used to be more sympathetic to the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and the face of not being positive in suppressing bandits.

Only when I gave myself such a chance, if I really want to be shameless and insist on reorganizing my troops according to the wishes of some of my subordinates, then what is the difference between me and the original local warlords?

I think ** will definitely not tolerate such a warlord team appearing in the rear.

It was only then that Yang Hucheng really made up his mind and held several meetings with his subordinates to conduct close consultations.

At the last meeting, Yang Hucheng detained a group of generals who opposed accepting the reorganization of ** on the spot.

On December 18, he formally signed an agreement with ** and agreed to accept the reorganization of ** of the 17th Army.

Immediately, Yang Hucheng issued a telegram across the country on December 20, announcing the uprising of the 17th Army, officially joining the PLA from now on and accepting the reorganization of the PLA.

Immediately, the 11th Army of the Earth led the Liu Zhidan's troops of the northern Shaanxi Workers and Peasants Red Army, who had been in charge of the troops, advanced south from northern Shaanxi, and escorted many warfares to the present. The captured three horses and other warlords captured a total of more than 60,000 people, and entered Xi'an City on December 26.

At the same time, the central government dispatched a large number of military backbones and political cadres, and arrived in Xi'an in late December.

Starting from late December, the Military Commission reorganized and renovated the 17th Army according to the plan.

With Liu Zhidan's troops of the Northern Shaanxi Red Army and the 17th Army as the backbone, plus a large number of military and political cadres sent by the Military Commission, the more than 60,000 prisoners captured by the First Army were reorganized and renovated, and nearly 40,000 surrendered soldiers were obtained.

Based on these three parts of the forces, the 17th Army was officially reorganized by the Military Commission into the Third Army of the People's Liberation Army.

The Third Army has three main divisions and direct troops under the Army, totaling 110,000 people, Yang Hucheng, the commander of the Third Army, Liu Zhidan, and Li Da, the chief of staff.
