After a thousand-mile trek, the Red Army arrived in Xingguo. However, the first army was eager to make meritorious contributions and immediately launched an attack on the Red Army, besieging 30,000 Red Army troops in Xingguo's Xingguo North of Xingwei.
At this critical juncture, the chairman decided to break through from Tomita, and then look for opportunities in the movement to break the enemy's "encirclement". However, as soon as the Red Army set out, it discovered that the information was wrong, and the two divisions of Chen Cheng's division had already reached Tomita before the Red Army.
In order to ensure safety, the chairman decided to lead the Red Army back to Xingwei.
The chairman of the original plan re-examined the situation of the enemy army and found that the main forces of Chiang's army were distributed in the north of Xingguo (Zhao Guantao's 6th Division), Chongxian (Jiang Guangnai's 60th and 61st Divisions), and Futian (Luo Zhuoying's and Chen Cheng's divisions), all of which were old Chiang's descendants and had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and if they were not properly handled, they would face the danger of annihilation.
This is only the first echelon of the enemy's army, there are two divisions in Ningdu, three divisions in Longgang, Huangpi, and Guangchang, and one division is stationed in Guangchang, and the enemy army has surrounded southern Jiangnan.
The only hope at present lies in repulsing the 47th Division of Shangguan Yunxiang and the 54th Division of Hao Mengling to the east of the enemy. These two divisions are local units with relatively weak combat effectiveness, and they are now stationed in the vicinity of Liangcun and Liantang in the east of Xingguo.
Shangguan Yunxiang was an old opponent of the last "encirclement and suppression", and in the second "encirclement and suppression", his troops had engaged the Red Army and were defeated by a brigade by the Red Army at Futian and Baisha.
However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, even if Shangguan Yunxiang's combat effectiveness is weak, but he is too close to the surrounding enemy forces, once **, other enemy forces can still quickly surround the Red Army.
Without managing to divert other enemy forces, this battle will not be fought. In addition, it is worth mentioning that nineteen years later, the front-line commander of the Jiang army in the Southern Anhui Incident was Shangguan Yunxiang.
In the face of many sieges, the chairman took the opportunity to formulate a new plan. He decided to create suspicious troops in the north and south, and the Red 35th Army and local troops marched to Liangkou in a big way to attract Zhao Guantao's troops to the south, while the first part of the Red 12th Army moved to Wan'an, attracting the two divisions of Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying and the three divisions of Jiang Guangnai to the north of Xingguo.
In this way, it was possible to create the illusion that the Red Army was about to cross the Gan River to the west. The main force of the Red Army would concentrate all its forces, quickly pass through the encirclement after the enemy was mobilized, and meet the Shangguan Yunxiang troops in Liangcun and Liantang head-on.
It was a life-and-death night, and the Red Army went out with all its might, seeking only one battle.
There were a large number of Red Army movements in the two directions of Liangkou and Wan'an, Lao Chiang ordered Zhao Guantao's 6th Division to follow and pursue, and the 5 divisions of Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying and Jiang Guangnai advanced in the direction of Wan'an.
The 47th Division of Shangguan Yunxiang in the east received the order to go to Xingguo, and the Red Army was frightened by the formation of the ** army. The next day, Shangguan Yunxiang suddenly heard the sound of artillery, and it turned out that the Red Army was attacking him.
Shangguan Yunxiang was flustered and asked for help from Hao Mengling's 54th Division next to him. Unexpectedly, on the contrary, the 54th Division was also brought into the encirclement of the Red Army. The Red Army won two battles at Liantang and Liangcun, annihilating most of the 47th and 54th Divisions.
The two suspicious troops sent by the chairman successfully completed the task, and they led a large number of Chiang's troops to the west, so that the main force of the front army could pass through the gap between Chongxian and Xingguo overnight, and made a major contribution to the victory of the first battle.
There was also an episode in which Chen Cheng's 14th Division laughed at Shangguan Yunxiang, and as a result, the Red Army really ate the 47th Division.
Lao Jiang formulated"The center blooms"He judged that the next target of the Red Army might be the four regiments of Zhou Hunyuan's 5th Division in Longgang. He planned to use Zhou Hunyuan to attract the Red Army to attack, and Chiang's army surrounded the Red Army on the periphery, and annihilated the enemy's main force in one fell swoop.
However, this plan went awry. Zhou Hunyuan reported that he had found a large number of Red Army troops here, and when Lao Chiang saw that the Red Army had taken the bait, he immediately ordered Chiang's army to encircle Longgang. The reinforced Jiang army was only halfway there, and Mao Bingwen's 8th Division also urgently told Lao Jiang that he also had a large number of enemy troops and asked for immediate support.
However, Lao Jiang reprimanded Mao Bingwen and ordered him to continue his advance towards Longgang. Mao Bingwen looked at the increasing number of Red Army troops around him and decided to ignore it"The center blooms"'s strategy, running directly to Ningdu.
It turned out that the chairman had already seen through Lao Jiang's tricks, and Zhou Hunyuan of Longgang was ready to wait for work. However, the chairman decided not to play his cards according to common sense, but to use Huang Gongluo's Red 3rd Army to make a feint attack to attract the attention of Chiang's army and create the illusion that the Red Army was plotting.
Then, the whole army went straight east to Huangpi and attacked Mao Bingwen's 8th Division. In Huangpi, Mao Bingwen's attitude will also affect the battle situation. If he chooses to support Longgang, the Red Army can encircle the point and send reinforcements to annihilate the enemy army.
If he chooses "friendly forces in trouble and immobile like a mountain", the Red Army can take advantage of his paralysis and carelessness to take Huangpi in one fell swoop. In the Battle of Huangpi, the Red Army successfully annihilated most of the 8th Division, completing the first large-scale infantry and artillery coordination in history.
In just four days, after jumping out of the encirclement, the Red Army brought its mobility to the extreme, achieved a quick victory, and won three victories in five days, destroying nearly 10,000 enemy troops. From the overall point of view, although Chiang's army had an absolute advantage, at Liantang, Liangcun and Huangpi, the Red Army was the real superior.
In fact, there is no simple way to defeat the strong with the weak, and if the weak side wants to defeat the strong side, it must form an absolute superiority at a certain key node and gather more powerful forces, which is the ultimate meaning of the chairman's military thinking.
And then, the situation on the battlefield is still grim, how can the Red Army completely turn the tide of the war? What will be the role of the chess pieces that the chairman hid before the start of the "encirclement and suppression"?
