The Red Fourth Front Army won four battles, and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region showed its vigor!
The Red Fourth Front Army, that brave and fearless team, set off four vigorous offensive campaigns 90 years ago, achieving the heyday of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region. I thought, let's travel through time and space together and feel that passionate time.
On November 7, 1931, the Fourth Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established in Huang'an County, Hubei Province. At this moment, after Chiang Kai-shek's third "encirclement and suppression" of the ** Soviet area failed, he began to plan the third "encirclement and suppression" of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet area. The Kuomintang army was assembled around the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet region, with 15 divisions distributed in southeastern Henan, eastern Hubei and western Anhui, preparing to launch a fierce attack. However, the "September 18" incident, the changes in the political situation in the whole country, the people's struggle against Japan and Chiang Kai-shek surged, and the intensification of contradictions within the Kuomintang led to the delay in the implementation of the plan for "encirclement and suppression" in the Soviet areas.
It was at this chaotic moment that the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Military Committee decided to no longer be passively beaten, but to take the initiative to attack the Kuomintang army and break the enemy's plan of "encirclement and suppression." As a result, from November 1931 to June 1932, the Red Fourth Front Army carried out four offensive campaigns in Huang'an, Shanghuang, Sujiabu and Huangguang.
Imagine the scene at that time, the Red Fourth Front Army bravely charged, in the face of 15 divisions of the Kuomintang army, how firm their determination and belief were. It's like a group of warriors who stand up, are not afraid of difficulties, and have no hesitation. This kind of heroism is awe-inspiring.
Battle of Hoang An: A feat to break the predicament].
Among these four battles, the Battle of Huang'an can be described as the pinnacle of the Red Fourth Front Army. In order to disrupt the "encirclement and suppression" deployment of the Kuomintang army on the southern front and consolidate and expand the Soviet area, the Red Fourth Front Army decided to contain the enemy with part of its forces and concentrate its main forces to launch the Huang'an Campaign. Huang Ancheng was the most prominent stronghold of the Kuomintang army on the southern front near the center of the Soviet area, surrounded by base areas and guerrilla areas.
At that time, the defenders of Hoang An Cheng had been repeatedly harassed by the Red Army since they were stationed in September, and their morale was low. The Red Fourth Front Army adopted a "three-step" operational plan, gradually clearing out the outlying strongholds, cutting off the defenders' communication with other areas, and finally carrying out a general offensive.
The victory in the Battle of Huang'an not only strategically broke the encirclement and suppression, but also was the first major victory after the formation of the Red Army. The whole battle lasted 43 days, and the Red Fourth Front Army annihilated the Kuomintang Army1More than 50,000 people, nearly 10,000 enemies were captured, and a large amount of ** equipment was captured. This battle connected the Soviet districts of Huang'an, Macheng, Huangpi, Xiaogan and other counties, and the central area of the Soviet districts was further consolidated and expanded to the south.
Looking back on this period of history, we seem to hear the cries of the people at that time and feel their desire for freedom and justice. In Hoang An, people of all ages, men and women, worked together to support the Red Army. The men carried food, grass and ammunition, the women washed and cooked for the Red Army and cared for the wounded, and the Red Guards participated in the battle without hesitation. This is the power of the people's war, everyone works for a common faith, and the little Huang An has become the cradle of heroes.
In the Battle of Hoang An, the victory of the Red Army was also strongly supported by the local people. Their support is not only material, but also a spiritual resonance. This history has left us with a ballad: "Little Huang An, everyone is a good man;".As soon as the gong sounded, 480,000;Men will fight, women will deliver food. This is a celebration of the heroic deeds of the people of that time, and it is a true portrayal of that era.
Shang Huang Campaign: The Wisdom of Winning More with Less].
The victory in the Battle of Huang'an brought confidence and motivation to the Red Fourth Front Army. Next, they showed more flexibility in the use of troops, challenged the enemy on the northern front, and carried out the Shanghuang Campaign.
At the starting point of the Shanghuang Campaign, the headquarters of the Red Fourth Front Army led the main force north, and at the same time ordered the Red 25th Army to participate in the battle. In the Shang and Huang areas, the Red Army found that the enemy was heavily concentrated and the enemy troops were intensively deployed. Faced with this situation, the headquarters of the Red Fourth Front Army decided to first eliminate the Second Division of Tang Enbo and other units, and then capture **.
The battle began, and the Red Fourth Army and the Red 25th Army cooperated tacitly to successfully annihilate the enemy army and cut off the enemy's contact. The success of the Shanghuang campaign can be described as a wise move to win more with less. The Red Army annihilated the enemy army one by one through division and encirclement, and finally isolated the enemy army.
The success of this campaign not only demonstrated the flexible use of troops by the Red Fourth Front Army, but also the successful application of the tactic of "winning more with less." At that time, the Red Army was not only brave and good at fighting, but also wise. Their tactical flexibility has raised the level of respect for them.
