Disclosure What is the attitude of the warlords everywhere towards the Red Army s Long March

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-26

The ** army led by Xue Yue worked closely with the warlords of all parties to jointly pursue the Red Army, which was the strategic deployment of the Kuomintang during the Red Army's Long March. However, behind this strategy of Chiang Kai-shek, he was actually trying to infiltrate the territory of warlords in the southwest.

Faced with such a situation, how do warlords everywhere respond? During the Red Army's Long March, what was the attitude of the warlords in various places?

In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the Nanchang Uprising with the help of Chen Jitang, the real purpose of which was to achieve his own goals, not to really reuse.

Chen Jitang realized that he might just be a pawn in Chiang Kai-shek's hands, so after weighing many parties, he chose to renew his old friendship with Li Zongren and save his life and status.

However, as the Red Army's power continued to expand, Chen Jitang began to feel fearful, and despite Chiang Kai-shek's order to encircle and suppress the Red Army, Chen Jitang still respected the Red Army for their heroic performance, so he did not take action.

In the fifth encirclement and suppression, out of fear of the Red Army's power and concern for his own status and life, Chen Jitang chose to stand still, neither obeying Chiang Kai-shek's order to join the encirclement and suppression war, nor did he want the Red Army's power to expand again.

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's urgent telegram, he chose to hold on, refused to take the initiative, and decided to focus on defense. In the end, he reached an agreement with the side of the Red Army.

Chen Jitang was not moved by Chiang Kai-shek's coercion and temptation, and he did not choose to join the camp of encircling and suppressing the Red Army, not out of conscience, but because he was jealous of the strong strength of the Red Army, and at the same time did not want to become Chiang Kai-shek's pawn.

All he pursued in his life was to occupy a piece of land and do everything to secure his position. However, from 1936 until his death in 1954, although he always followed Chiang Kai-shek, he was never reused.

He has real power in his hands, but he can't play a role, which is undoubtedly the most painful thing for a soldier who only wants to solve problems by force.

Chiang Kai-shek skillfully used kinship to protect his descendant army from unnecessary bloodshed. As for the local warlords such as the Gui Army and the Cantonese Army, he encouraged them to confront the Red Army, while he himself could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Bai Chongxi.

Bai Chongxi showed hesitation in the process of encircling and suppressing the Red Army, but in fact he did so to preserve his strength and wait for a better opportunity to better confront Chiang Kai-shek's ** army.

He had firmly claimed that the ineffectiveness of the Hunan army had caused the Red Army to cross the Xiang River, and in addition to fighting back, he had launched a fierce attack on Chiang Kai-shek's cronies' troops. When the Gui army encountered Chiang Kai-shek's cronies on the border of Guangxi, he, a small army commander, certainly did not dare to have such guts, which was obviously Bai Chongxi's order.

In this battle, the Gui army ignored the shouts of the cronies' troops, and the guns thundered, and finally the cronies' troops fled. After the war, Qin Lianfang took the initiative to admit his mistake, saying that he did not know that the opposite side was a cronies army, so he carried out a fierce attack.

Even if the cronies knew that Gui Jun had deliberately shot them, they could no longer blame them.

During the Red Army's Long March, Bai Chongxi did not directly refuse Chiang Kai-shek's orders, but constantly negotiated with him, using his landlord advantage to choose to repel the Red Army, but not fighting the Red Army head-on, in order to maintain his absolute occupation of Guangxi.

His actions have made people see the image of a warlord who will do whatever it takes to protect his own interests.

He Jian was one of the warlords who were more obedient to Chiang Kai-shek's command. In October 1934, the Red Army began the Long March, Chiang Kai-shek appointed He Jian as the commander-in-chief of the pursuit army, He Jian obeyed the command, but under Chen Jitang's non-resistance, the Red Army successfully broke through the first and second blockade lines on the part of the Kuomintang warlords.

The appearance of He Jian caused the Red Army to encounter severe challenges. In order to stop the advance of the Red Army, he sent the main forces to garrison Jeonju and joined forces with the Gui army. Although the Red Army successfully broke through the fourth line of defense in a bloody battle, in the bloody battle of the Xiangjiang River, due to He Jian's deployment, the Red Army paid a heavy price and lost more than 56,000 people.

In the encirclement and suppression war, the Hunan army undertook key tasks as the main force. Under Chiang Kai-shek's deployment, Quanzhou, commander of the first column on the Western Road, became the main battlefield of the Xiangjiang Campaign.

The Red Army entered Jeonju only four hours later, and it was not easy to break through in the face of the Gui army's defensive line. Although they succeeded in breaking through in the end, both the Red Army and the Hunan Army paid a huge amount.

As the main force, the Hunan army had to face multiple attacks by the Red Army.

Wang Jialie was not the king of Guizhou from the beginning, he was gradually promoted from an ordinary soldier of the Guizhou army to an officer with his own efforts and courage. In 1928, when the Guizhou army was in a scuffle, he keenly seized the opportunity and successfully controlled the power of Guizhou, and since then he has become the "King of Guizhou".

His rise was naturally inseparable from Chiang Kai-shek's support, but Chiang Kai-shek's original intention was not to make Wang Jialie the king of Guizhou, but to better use his influence and control over Guizhou to serve his great cause.

Under pressure from Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jialie eventually relinquished his post as chairman of Guizhou Province and became a military commander of Chiang Kai-shek. During the Red Army's Long March, Wang Jialie originally thought that he could take the opportunity to fight the Red Army, but the result was that the bamboo basket was empty, which made him feel helpless.

Several important generals of Wang's Liechuan Army had already gained insight into Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy, and in order to consolidate their power, some of them accepted the Red Army's suggestion and took the initiative to guide the Red Army's path, while others, after making contact with the Red Army, demanded that both sides not invade each other and retain their strength in order to deal with Chiang Kai-shek's possible attack.

Only in the Sichuan army.

Chiang Kai-shek's ambition was clear, and he tried to use the power of the warlords to eradicate the Red Army and reap the benefits of the fishermen. However, warlords everywhere learned about his scheme, which ultimately led to his failure to succeed.

Those who are wise and protect themselves, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world. However, Chiang Kai-shek failed to do justice even to his own troops, and such an act doomed him to failure.
