War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 387 Chishui
In early 1935, a miracle was taking place in Chishui.

The reason why this war is called a miracle is that Xu Chaoyang in his era had arranged the confrontation between the two sides on the map himself. When he opened the global map, he was very sure that he could not make the predictions that existed in history. He had no choice but to accept it!

At the beginning of the battle, our army was reduced from 86,000 people to more than 30,000 people after the battle of Xiangjiang River. At this moment, the sun rose in my hometown. After determining the core at the meeting, we began to dominate the situation.

At that moment, our army was surrounded at the border area between GZ Province and SC Province. The eight divisions of Zhou Hunyuan and Wu Qi of the Kuomintang government, the three divisions of He Jian of the Hunan Army, the three brigades of Long Yun of the Yunnan Army, the twelve brigades of Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army, the three divisions of Li Zongren of the Guangxi Army, and the three divisions of Wang Jialie of the Guizhou Army were blocking in the front and chasing in the back.

Judging from the deployment of troops on both sides alone, this battle did not need to be fought at all. Judging from the situation between the enemy and us, the enemy has already surrounded our army completely. Our army is in precarious situation. Any mistake will result in the annihilation of the entire army.

According to the diary writer at the time, this army was about to be wiped out. At the same time, they had determined that our army's marching route was to cross the Yangtze River to join up with the main force. But the final result was that we annihilated 18,000 enemies and captured 3,000. Not only did we get rid of the enemy's encirclement, but we also slapped all the Kuomintang troops in the face!

The Chishui River, which flows through Tucheng Town and Chishui Town, is a natural wonder that witnessed the coming of this miracle.

……

The Zunyi Conference, which was recorded in history, had just ended at that time. Under such circumstances, the Zunyi Conference held after our army broke through the Wujiang River made the diary writer extremely annoyed, and he urgently dispatched troops from Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and part of Guangxi to threaten Zunyi.

For him, this was called a decisive battle, or in other words, it was the diary writer who forced our army to fight a decisive battle. As long as we won this battle, there would be no more war south of the Yangtze River.

After the Battle of Xiangjiang, our army was eager to find a large force, namely the Fourth Front Army. At that time, the Fourth Front Army had about 80,000 to 100,000 people. This force not only came from Hubei, Henan and Anhui, but also grew and developed in Sichuan, which has a very high population density. This was what our army wanted to do at the time, and this matter was also very obvious in the eyes of the Kuomintang government.

Another route for our army was to go to Xiangxi and join up with Red 2 and 6. Blocking these two routes became the top priority of the Kuomintang government. The second priority was to set up an encirclement and completely wipe out the troops in Zunyi.

The battle took place under such circumstances, and the first battle was at Tucheng.

At that time, to the north of our army were 12 brigades of the Sichuan Army, and it was He Jian of the Hunan Army who stopped our army from advancing to western Hunan; to the south was the Guizhou Army, which was slightly weaker and was badly beaten up by Hei Jin; further south was the Guangxi Army, and then the Guangdong Army.

The entire battlefield was almost surrounded...

If you are a person who does not understand history, or in other words, a person who does not understand the magic of the Battle of Four Crossings of the Chishui River, you don't even need to be there in person. Just sticking these pieces of paper on the map will make you confused. You can't even see them with your eyes. If someone pokes you, you won't be able to find the person. What's the point of fighting?
This is also the reason why readers of Xu Chaoyang's era questioned the male protagonist when reading the novel. They would often describe the male protagonist with words like "you wouldn't be able to survive without cheats in that era." There is nothing wrong with that. At least in this battle, if anyone came and accomplished this feat, it would be impossible not to question it. It is simply impossible.

However, readers have indeed questioned the protagonist of the book, but Xu Chaoyang has never seen anyone dare to question the sun in Four Crossings of the Chishui River, even though the battle looked so unbelievable!

The battle was launched under such circumstances. The first crossing of the Chishui River was to fight against the Sichuan Army in Tucheng...

It has to be said that the Sichuan Army at that time was really good at fighting. In this battle, except for Taiyang himself who did not go to the battlefield in person, many famous generals on the Heavenly List went up, even the general went to the battlefield in person, and all members of the cadre corps participated in the battle. However, not much was seen in the battle.

The Sichuan Army will not give in for nothing. No matter when, this sentence can be said to be true!

In that battle, the Sichuan Army almost killed and wounded the remaining 30,000-odd soldiers of our army, but the number of Sichuan Army soldiers increased as the battle went on!

why?
Because Chongqing is to the north of Zunyi, the Sichuan Army has already guarded all the major transportation routes into Sichuan, so as soon as a gunshot is heard anywhere, support will come from all over the place.

For Xu Chaoyang, who has seen history till this point, seeing this situation, he can only ask like a fool: "How do we fight this?"

Yes, this is the dilemma of ordinary people.

How to fight this battle?
Behind them were the Guizhou Army, in front of them were the Sichuan Army, further ahead were the Guofu Army led by Zhou, and to the south were the Guangxi Army...

In this battle, the enemy's strength was reduced from about two regiments in the battle report to two brigades, and the Sichuan Army eventually defeated more than 17,000 people. If the battle continued, the whole army would be annihilated. What can their brothers do if you attack them at their doorstep?
Under such circumstances, Taiyang urgently ordered a crossing of the Chishui River. He was supposed to head north to join the main force, but he went west directly under the resistance of the Sichuan Army. The whole army rushed to Zhaxi despite the enemy's bullets, and only then could they catch their breath. Is the diary writer capable?

You're already in the stew pot, how can I let you run away?
The Sichuan and Yunnan armies were urgently dispatched to chase and encircle us from the north and south, and finally our army was trapped in Zhaxi, which was considered to be a circle. The National Government Army was also rushing here with all its might, and this group of people was determined to make a decisive attack.

At this most dangerous moment, miracles began to unfold...

After the entire army had fought hard to break out of Zunyi, fought fiercely across the Chishui River and in the bloody battle of Tucheng, and sacrificed so many lives, they all rushed to Zhaxi... Alas, they just turned around and went back!

Aren't you surrounded?
Aren't you guys chasing and intercepting them?
I don't want to play with you anymore, okay?
When Xu Chaoyang first heard this history in the army, his mind was filled with passion. Under such circumstances, he felt that it was time to fight to the death to break through the encirclement... The leader who was telling the history at that time even praised him: "You have never fought in a war, so you don't know what death is. When one day you go to the battlefield and see people dying one by one, if you can still say such things, then you are a tiger!"

These are the original words, without any changes.

The Guizhou Army did not expect our army to come back. Wang Jialie was said to be celebrating his mother's birthday and even had a party. He was caught off guard by our army. This was the second crossing of the Chishui River. This time, our army's electric cannon hit the unprepared Wang Jialie on the forehead. He never thought that our army, which had already run away, would dare to come back. To use an Internet term, Wang Jialie was probably stamping his feet and shouting, "How dare you!"

But our army is back just like that!
Another battle to win!
We annihilated two of their divisions and eight regiments, captured more than 3,000 people, seized 100,000 rounds of bullets and more than 1,000 guns, which greatly boosted morale. This was the biggest victory our army had achieved since the start of the war with the Kuomintang.

This time, after returning from Taipingdu, they first occupied Tongzi, then Loushanguan, and finally Zunyi. There was a small episode here. The poem "Remembering Qin E" that has been passed down to this day appeared in Loushanguan.

This is not a matter of literary talent. It is amazing that such a masterpiece could be created in such a tense war situation!
The west wind is strong, the sky is full of geese calling, and the frosty morning moon is shining.

Frosty morning moon, the sound of horse hooves and the muffled sound of trumpets.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it has started from scratch.

Starting from the beginning, the mountains are like the sea and the setting sun is like blood.

Xu Chaoyang couldn't imagine it. He really couldn't imagine it. He had fought so many battles until today, and he couldn't imagine how he could have the leisure time in that situation. He even felt a headache facing the enemy's attacks from two directions on the same battlefield...

This is an army of more than 400,000 people, which has surrounded and intercepted more than 30,000 people into an encirclement. Where did their ambition come from at this time?
In contrast, the diary writer who learned of the results of the battle had already flown from Nanjing to Chongqing and hurriedly mobilized troops to counterattack, but was always led by the nose. It was only at this time that the three crossings of the Chishui River took place, from Maotai Town to Dacun.

The Dacun Longshan area has a characteristic, that is, the forest is dense and deep. At this moment, a small unit of our army turned on the radio and headed north, while the large unit hid in the dense forest and turned off the radio, keeping it silent.

At this time, the diary writer thought that our troops were going to cross the Yangtze River to the north, so he began to frantically mobilize troops to encircle them. In fact, the diary writer had lost his mind at this time, otherwise you would at least send people to scout and verify before making a decision, right?

At this time, our army crossed the Chishui River four times and headed straight for Guiyang. At this moment, the diary writer had already arrived in Guiyang to supervise the battle. This is how the famous sentence in history came about: "Fight to Guiyang, capture him and bring him back to write a diary." At this time, the troops in Guiyang had been transferred to the north. The diary writer was naturally panicked because he did not have enough defensive force, so he drew troops from the Yunnan Army again. After several draws, there were only a few troops left in the Yunnan Army, but in order to save the emperor, he had no choice but to send troops there.

The most critical point occurred during this period of time. Our army did not go to Guiyang, but went straight to the Yunnan Army’s base. The already empty Yunnan Army had no choice but to transfer the garrison of the Jinsha River back to protect itself. Then our army made a big turn, rushed to the Jinsha River, and cleverly crossed the Jinsha River to escape.

During these two months of fighting, every frame was thrilling and every decision was a gamble. As long as there was one mistake that was seized upon by the enemy, there would be no way to recover. But the Suns did it.

When Xu Chaoyang got the handwritten version of "Remembering Qin E" in Dagu, he was stunned. It was already the end of March. When Lao Yang explained the battle on the map during a meeting at the 217th Regiment headquarters, Xu Chaoyang was stunned.

Of course he knew this history, but every time he saw it, he felt so helpless...
