Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

In order to ensure the safety of the troops going south, the Red Fourth Front Army stationed on the front lines of Baoxing and Lushan launched a campaign against Ya'an, hoping to open up this road to the western Sichuan plain.As a result, it poured a basin of cold water on the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army.

Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou, who originally seemed to have a grudge against the Fourth Red Army, joined forces to stop them at this time.After a bitter battle, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou's two armies suffered losses on both sides.

Zhang Guotao was undoubtedly very angry at the defeat in the first match.He even made an impulsive decision to dismiss the commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian.Even though Boss Zhu tried his best to persuade him, he still failed to make him revoke this decision.

He Wei, the commander of the Ninth Red Army, was temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front line, and the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army formulated the Battle of Baizhangguan.Hope from here.Open up the passage into Chengdu.But the results still seem to be frustrating.

Baizhang Pass is the only way from Ya'an to Chengdu. Since ancient times, there have been people who have "obtained Baizhang (pass).There is no doubt that Chengdu must be won'.When the Red Fourth Front Army launched an attack, Liu Xiang had assembled more than 80 regiments to start blocking again.

Although the start went smoothly, the Red Fourth Front Army, with the Ninth Army as the main force, successively seized several important positions.But Boss Zhu, who was staying behind, keenly realized that this battle could not be fought again.

I personally found Zhang Guotao and said: "Kai Yin, this battle cannot be fought again. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that our main force will be wiped out. If we are so reckless, we will suffer a lot!"

Faced with Mr. Zhu's persuasion, Zhang Guotao still insisted: "He Wei fought very well and fought very tenaciously. Although our loss was not small, the loss of the Sichuan Army was even greater. Let's see now, who can persist until at last."

With such an answer, Boss Zhu really didn't know what to say.Just when he wanted to continue persuading, Zhang Guotao refused to continue talking with Boss Zhu because there were still things to deal with.This makes Mr. Zhu.Really very angry.

Looking at Zhang Guotao who left the headquarters, Boss Zhu rarely got angry and said: "Zhang Kaiyin, you will pay the price sooner or later for your impulsive actions. You don't know how to repent now, and I will see how you end up in the future!"

'Don't bother Brother Yujie, I have great confidence in my subordinates! '

A faint sentence made Boss Zhu so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhu Yue, who was by his side in the end, said cautiously: "Commander-in-Chief, in this situation, he is already in a difficult situation. But we... must be prepared!"

As the battalion commander who was sent to Boss Zhu's side, Zhu Yue was naturally aware of the current plight of the Fourth Red Army.But he also knew that Zhang Guotao had no way out.

Zhang Guotao now.After learning that the Central Red Army is in Yan'an, a new Soviet area has been established.If he finishes going south, he will continue to lead the troops north.The final outcome, I'm afraid it won't be much better than now.

In this case, it is better to fight into Chengdu.Maybe this is what he really thinks in his heart!

In view of this situation.Boss Zhu quickly found Dong Zhentang, head of the Fifth Red Army who was traveling south with the Fourth Red Army, and said very seriously: "Shao Zhong, I believe you have heard about the situation on the front line.

Now Zhang Guotao has gone a little crazy, but we have to be prepared.Command troops and be ready for rescue at any time.Secondly, we must defend the two places of Baoxing and Lushan.This is the way out, understand? "

'Yes, please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, as long as you give an order, the Red Fifth Army can go into battle at any time! '

Following Boss Zhu's order of the Fifth Red Army, be ready to respond to the frontline troops at any time.The battle situation on the front line took a turn for the worse as Boss Zhu expected.The ferocious counterattack of the Sichuan Army caught the Red Fourth Front Army, exhausted from the long battle, by surprise.

As Liu Xiang, who has been fighting for a long time, he knows very well that the Red Fourth Front Army is at the end of its battle.Compared with the Sichuan army joining hands, there is a solid rear that can supply the frontline troops with what they need at any time.For the Red Fourth Front Army, ammunition alone is a problem.

After repeated battles and strong attacks, many troops responsible for the main attack found that they had run out of bullets.And Liu Xiang, who also discovered this, moved out all his family assets.

More than a dozen elite brigades will remain unused. Under the cover of aircraft and artillery, they will counterattack from the north, east, and south to the positions seized by the Red Army.Such a fierce attack doubled the casualties of the Red Fourth Front Army.

Zhang Guotao, who learned that the frontline battle was unfavorable, not only ordered He Wei to resolutely fight back, but also personally led the reserve troops to join the decisive battle that was coming ahead of schedule.Around Baizhang Town, the two sides fought desperately.

But no one thought that Zhang Guotao, who was on the front line in person, was accidentally blown up by a bomb that fell from the sky and seriously injured on the spot.When the rescuers rescued him, Zhang Guotao already knew that he might not survive.

Looking at the tired generals of the Red Fourth Front Army surrounding him, Zhang Guotao finally realized what an irreparable price he had caused to this single-handedly built army.

Looking at the commander of the 31st Red Army beside him, he said: "Hongxin, send my order to let our troops withdraw from the battle. Send a report to Boss Zhu. After I leave, he will be in charge of commanding the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, and let Comrade Xiangqian assist. .”

'Chairman, you'll be fine!We'll send you to the rear now! '

'it's useless!I am very aware of my current situation, and I will send another report to He Wei, asking him to withdraw from the battle as quickly as possible.As long as we retreat to Baoxing, we still have a chance.Remember, convey my orders to the whole army.

This time, I was really wrong.I always thought that with the strength of our Red Fourth Front Army, if we can take down Sichuan, it will play a role in reversing the overall situation of our revolutionary cause.However, I underestimated the strength of the Sichuan Army.

I was fascinated by my desire for power and competitiveness, which led to today's fiasco.Being able to die on the battlefield may be the best destination for me.Hongxin, if you can see Committee Mao and the others in the future, remember to apologize to them for me. '

Maybe it's "a person who is about to die, his words are also good"!

When he realized that it was impossible for him to survive, Zhang Guotao still came to his senses.As a revolutionary pioneer, he naturally still has a passion for revolution.It's just that power makes him lose himself.

When Boss Zhu learned that the Sichuan Army was counterattacking on the front line, he led the Fifth Red Army to come to the rescue.Knowing that Zhang Guotao was seriously injured and sacrificed, he was stunned.He knew very well what this meant to the Red Fourth Front Army today.

Fortunately, Dong Zhentang, who was next to him, said in a timely manner: "Commander-in-chief, at this moment, there is no time to make us sad. Right now, we should rescue our frontline troops, how much can be saved!"

'good!Come, pass on my order, and send someone to invite Comrade Xiangqian back to preside over the overall situation of the Red Fourth Front Army.Comrade Hongxin, please cooperate with the Fifth Red Army to set up a blocking position here.

Zhu Yue, now we need your reconnaissance battalion to take action.I know that your reconnaissance battalion is all elites trained by Xiao He.You are also most familiar with the situation here.From now on, rescue will be carried out in company units.

Be sure to tear open the defense line established by the enemy, so that our front-line troops can stand out.I will send the Fifth Red Army to provide cover for you.Remember, your speed must be fast. '

Hearing Boss Zhu's order, Zhu Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander-in-Chief, then you are here!"

'Don't worry, I'm safe here.The soldiers on the front line are in danger now, and they need you most.Excuting an order! '

'Yes, Commander-in-Chief! '

With the help of the main force of the Fifth Red Army, plus the addition of the reconnaissance battalion to join the battle.For this company-based reinforcements, the firepower is extremely fierce.The Sichuan army, which was still laying out the encirclement, was also caught off guard.

The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Red Army who were trapped in the encirclement soon said happily: "Our people are here! Withdraw quickly!"

When they joined the scouts who came to the rescue, the members of the Red Fourth Front Army quickly discovered that these were the guards next to Mr. Zhu.Before, they always felt that the other party was too unlike a Red Army soldier.

'Don't be dumbfounded!Hurry up, we have to go to other places to save people.Withdraw in the direction of Baoxing, where the 31th Red Army and the [-]st Red Army have already established a blocking line of defense.Once there, you are safe! '

Putting aside such a sentence, these reconnaissance companies with extremely fierce firepower and combat effectiveness have become sharp knives that tear through the encirclement of the Sichuan Army.Rescued, a group of red four-sided troops that were almost blocked.

Until the last troops were rescued, the converging reconnaissance battalion even carried out a counter-attack against the main force of the Sichuan Army that was pursuing them.After a fierce counterattack, the main force of the Sichuan Army was defeated.

He Wei, who was rescued, was also deeply shocked by such fighting power.Only at this moment did he realize that the young He Zhengdao was not able to become the commander of the independent column because of nepotism!

It's a pity that this awakening seems to have come a bit late! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Looking at the attacking troops of the Red Fourth Front Army, they have already withdrawn from Baizhang Town.The pursuing troops were also counterattacked by the blocking troops of the Red Army.Liu Xiang, who was sitting in the rear, also knew that the battle of Baizhang was almost over.

Although the Red Fourth Front Army who attacked Baizhang suffered heavy losses this time, why not the troops in his hands?Facing this situation of mutual harm, Liu Xiang also couldn't feel any joy.

Even if he received the commendation telegram from Lao Jiang, Liu Xiang still felt dumbfounded.The most important thing is that Liu Xiang already knows that the Central Red Army has already laid down a large revolutionary base in northern Shaanxi.

This time he caused such huge casualties to the Fourth Red Army, the Red Army probably won't let him go in the future.Unless he can always have the capital to fight against the Red Army, his future outcome is also worrying!

When Liu Xiang calmed down and rewarded the three armies, the Red Fourth Front Army withdrew to Baoxing. After learning about Zhang Guotao's sacrifice, many commanders were dumbfounded.After all, Zhang Guotao is undoubtedly a spiritual pillar in these Red Fourth Front Army.

It doesn't matter if you lose a battle. It's not like they haven't lost a battle when they withdrew from the base area of ​​the Red Fourth Front Army.Victory or defeat is a common principle in military affairs, and many commanders are clear about it.But the collapse of the main spiritual pillar is what is truly fatal.

Facing the situation where the morale of the army was scattered, Mr. Zhu, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, called a meeting of regiment-level officers of the Red Fourth Front Army.Hope to reverse this unfavorable situation, and also discuss how to go next.

Even today's Red Fourth Front Army has less than 3 troops left.But with the addition of the Fifth Red Army, whose strength has not been damaged for a long time, the whole army still has more than 5 troops.No offense, no defense at least.

At this moment, after receiving the telegram from Boss Zhu, Mao Taizu and others who were far away in the headquarters in Yan'an were also shocked by the news.If it is said that the strength of the Red Fourth Front Army has been greatly damaged, which makes them sad, Zhang Guotao's sacrifice is somewhat regrettable.

In response to the situation sent by Boss Zhu, Mao Taizu quickly said: "Enlai, give He Zhengdao a power generation. Let him send people south to join the Red Army. The most important thing is to send Comrade Zhongsheng there. At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army. important!"
