Chapter 0197 The Rebellion in Northern Sichuan ([-])

Moscow's reply rejected the CCP's request to jointly march to the northwest with the Kuomintang, and also rejected the CCP's plan to march to the northwest alone.Instead, he instructed the CCP to negotiate with the Kuomintang, and at the same time united with the left wing of the Kuomintang to oppose the conspiracy of the right wing of the Kuomintang and the Youth Party.

After receiving the instructions from the Communist International, Qu Qiubai, the leader of the Communist Party of China, immediately convened a meeting of the Central Bureau, which was held in a cave dwelling under Wangjialing.Qu Qiubai, Cai Hesen, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Guotao, Xiang Ying and other central leaders gathered together.

As usual, Qu Qiubai explained the purpose of the meeting, read out the international instructions, introduced the cause and effect of the matter, and then listened to everyone's opinions without expressing his own views.

"We can't go here, and we don't let them go, hehe, is this Northwest part of China?" Zhang Guotao first complained with a long face.

Recently, the comrades of the Central Bureau have been feeling a little bit dissatisfied with Soviet Russia in their hearts.After Stalin took power, he began to practice "socialism in one country", and his support for the Chinese revolution was obviously reduced. Moreover, he still didn't trust the CCP very much. He tended to support Feng Yuxiang or the leftists of the Kuomintang, hoping to use their power to promote the Chinese revolution. .

Especially the leftists of the Kuomintang, these people have also made considerable progress within the Feng Faction, and developed Guo Songling into a party member.It gained a firm foothold in Chahar again, and took many revolutionary measures, such as preserving the fruits of the CCP’s land revolution some time ago, and also “helping” Mongolia and the CCP to sell livestock products and deliver urgently needed supplies, solving many economic problems. difficulties.Therefore, Stalin had very high expectations for them, and believed that the problems of the Chinese revolution could be solved by transforming them.

"Comrade Guotao, pay attention to your words. The International must have their reasons for such instructions. It's just that we are low-minded and cannot see through them." Mao Zedong took a deep puff of cigarettes, looked at Zhou Enlai, and said: "Since the International has instructed, We have no choice but to recruit, Enlai, who do you think should negotiate with them?"

Hearing Mao Zedong's question, Zhou Enlai frowned and pondered for a while, but for a while he couldn't think of who to ask to negotiate with the Kuomintang.In this time and space, Chen Duxiu was relegated to Secretary of the Southern Bureau because he made a mistake during the Beijing Revolution, and he should be the one to negotiate this matter.However, this person's nationalist sentiment is also quite high, and he probably can't understand this obviously not very good instruction from Moscow, and he might complain about Soviet Russia with Sun Yat-sen.

"How about asking Yang Angong to negotiate with Luo Yaoguo?" Zhou Enlai thought for a long time, and he had no choice but to ask the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee to directly negotiate with Luo Yaoguo who was in charge of the matter.But it probably won't have much effect. If the Communist Party can cooperate with the Kuomintang to march into the Northwest, maybe Luo Yao Congress will be tempted, but the Soviet Russia's instruction that no one will be allowed to go, how do they negotiate?It seems that in the end there is only use of force.

"Is there no other way but to negotiate?" Qu Qiubai also felt that negotiating with the right wing of the Kuomintang was impossible, and the only way was to unite with the left wing of the Kuomintang to oppose it.

Zhou Enlai shook his head and said to Qu Qiubai: "Our strength in Sichuan is very weak. The only thing we can do is to mobilize the troops of Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao to stop the youth army from leaving Sichuan, but—" Zhou Enlai thought it would be difficult to do this. , how could you be willing to do such an offending and unflattering thing?And Luo Yaoguo is not that easy to talk to, if he really gets mad, he might use the KMT's direct army to help. When two 10,000+ people come to fight, won't the Crystal Monkey smash them to pieces?

Zhang Guotao stretched his Chinese face and sneered: "Then let them (the Communist International) pay some money. Anyway, this is their instruction. Don't they have great expectations for the leftists of the Kuomintang?" Zhang Guotao's intentions were very sinister. Let Borodin, an adviser to the Communist International, take Soviet Russia's aid to "persuade" and let "leftists of the Kuomintang" like Deng Xihou perform a show, and let the Communist International recognize the reality.

"That's how it is." Qu Qiubai thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "Enlai, you can make arrangements with the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, and I can talk about it with Borodin. We can also discuss the matter of marching into Shanxi. Now How many troops can we move?"

Zhou Enlai took out the notebook he carried with him, opened it, looked at it, and said: "Now the Fourth Red Army will stay in Suiyuan to take charge of suppressing bandits. Suiyuan is too large, and the strength of the Fourth Red Army is still a little weak. The Red Front Army At least one legion must be left to defend northern Shaanxi. Now the few troops in Guanzhong are all from the former National Army. Their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they also have conflicts with us. So we can only use the Red Second Front Army plus one legion, with a maximum of 3 people. , and there are no cannons. It seems a bit weak to attack Taiyuan with such strength, is it possible to attack Northwest Shanxi and establish a base—"

"Comrade Enlai, you don't seem to have enough faith in the revolutionary army!" Qu Qiubai interrupted Zhou Enlai without waiting for him to finish. Qu Qiubai stood up, looked at the people in the Central Bureau, and said with a serious expression: "Comrades, we The party is developing very well now, but there are some comrades who are not thinking about making progress, and feel that it is enough to have a piece of territory to dominate one side.” He glanced at Zhang Guotao and said: “The revolutionary cause is like sailing against the current. Retire! Now the enemy is not unified, we are facing scattered opponents, not monolithic, so we should be aggressive, take advantage of the opportunity of their division and internal strife, eliminate them in large numbers, and quickly expand our strength."

……

Chongqing in summer seems to be a huge furnace. This year, there is drought and little rain, and the temperature is unbearably high.Although Luo Yaoguo is a Cantonese who is relatively heat-tolerant, he couldn't bear the scorching heat without a trace of wind, so he stayed on the relatively cool Huangshan Mountain and couldn't come down.

Yang Angong, Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Zheng Youzhi, Secretary of the Military Commission, came to Xingshi early this morning in a car provided by Xiong Kewu to question Xingshi. Now they are sitting angrily in the living room of the villa.

"Rare customers, you two are really rare customers." Guessing their reason for coming, Luo Yaoguo still had to greet them with a smile. At this time, he also imitated those Sichuan soldiers in long shirts, taking off his thick general uniform, and put on a thin one. A long silk gown with cicada wings.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, and the two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and then fell silent.Yang Angong knew that today's negotiation was purely a formality, meaningless.The cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Youth Party does not directly conflict with the interests of the Communist Party. From this point of view, they did not destroy the three major policies. On the contrary, it was the bad intentions shown by Soviet Russia towards Northwest China, and many Communist Party members including himself Everyone feels uneasy.

"Your party has connections with Deng Jinkang, right?" Luo Yaoguo broke the silence first, and he looked at the other party with a gloomy face. After contacting the North during this period of time, he has basically figured out the forces behind Deng Xihou.

"We are connected with all forces that demand progress." Yang Angong replied straightforwardly. He smiled coldly and said, "It turns out that you are getting farther and farther away from the three major policies of the prime minister, and now you are actually colluding with fascist parties."

"We are willing to jointly manage the Northwest with your party. Will your party agree?" Luo Yaoguo asked angrily, "Will the Soviet Union allow you to use force in the Northwest?"

"Our party's ethnic policy is ethnic autonomy, not Han chauvinism, and we cannot bully weaker ethnic groups by virtue of their large numbers of Han." Yang Angong frowned slightly, and spoke out the rhetoric he had already thought up.

"Great Han chauvinism?" Luo Yaoguo chuckled, and said, "The Han nationality is a big nation in the first place. The [-] million compatriots in China are all Han nationality except for a few million Manchu and Mongolian people. The Northwest region also has the Han nationality as the absolute majority! Now we unite There is no such thing as bullying the weak and small ethnic groups in the operation of the Northwest by the Youth Party. This is also the statement of the Prime Minister in nationalism. Does your party object to it?"

"Now we and the [-] coalition forces of the Youth Party are about to leave Sichuan. I hope that Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao can make it easier to release the defense zone from Mianyang to Guangyuan. I will use the territory in the eastern part of Hanzhong to compensate them. In this way, everyone will Let's meet again." Without waiting for the other party's answer, Luo Yaoguo put forward a condition that he had carefully considered, hoping to avoid conflicts, after all, Deng Xihou is now wearing the KMT name.

Chapter 0198 The Rebellion in Northern Sichuan ([-])

The flames of the Northern Sichuan War had already quietly ignited. At the same time that Comrade Yang Angong went to the Huangshan Villa to fight with Luo Yaoguo, the director of the Kuomintang's Chongqing camp, and argued hard.Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, who were sitting in the headquarters of the "Gansu National Army" in Guangyuan City, suddenly discovered that the war had already started in private!

There is actually a difference between private and public wars?In the past, even Sichuan, where there are many strange things, has never heard of such strange things.And now Deng Xihou and Tian Donggua have finally seen what is not the most shameless, only more shameless!This time there are two opponents. It is said that they are not in the same group. One is Yang Sen, who has been crowned with the brand of the Youth Army, and Wang Zixing's three armies and twelve brigades. Now this army has left in a mighty way. Chengdu has settled in Deyang, and it seems that it is about to call.Another opponent is the Kuomintang's Fifth Army, Eighth Army, and the Gansu Army that came out of nowhere. These three armies have nearly [-] soldiers. This force now claims to be the same as Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao. The friendly army has no intention of being an enemy. Their purpose is to drive the young army out of Sichuan and restore Sichuan to a stable and prosperous situation. It sounds like a good guy.

Facing the youth army of Yang Sen and Wang Zixing who are about to fight to snatch their territory, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao and others naturally have to go all out to defend their homeland. They can't give up the fertile land along the road from Mianyang to Guangyuan, right?And to fight, you must concentrate your forces.The territory of Deng, Tian, ​​and Liu Bin totaled dozens of counties, spanning northern Sichuan, northwestern Sichuan, and the northern part of the Chengdu Plain.Their [-] army is distributed on such a large area, if they are not concentrated, they will definitely be defeated individually.But once they concentrate their forces, won't the vast territory in northern Sichuan be empty?So a branch of the National Revolutionary Army with regiments and battalions as the unit immediately followed up separately, stationed in the counties and towns that Deng and Tian had just evacuated, and even directly disarmed the small army they left there.In this way, in just over ten days, the war on the surface has not yet started, but Luo Yaoguo has already snatched a large area of ​​defense in the northeast and northwest of Sichuan in private!Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao actually lost [-] counties!

"Old man Ge! What kind of battle is this fighting?" Tian Songyao paced in the command room, swearing and scolding, he said: "These Kuomintang rightists are too unruly! While we are preparing for the battle with Yang Zihui At the moment, I almost snatched away all my territory! Even if Yang Zihui is defeated, we have no place to stay! Consultant Bao, do you have anything to do?"

Consultant Bao was Comrade Bo Luodin, the former chief adviser of the Kuomintang, but he was hired to ask questions, so the Communist International and Stalin felt that it was meaningless to keep him in Guangzhou, so they sent him to Yan'an to serve as an adviser to the Communist Party.This time, they brought aid from the Communist International to Guangyuan to help the Kuomintang leftists Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao.But he didn't expect that there is such a war in this world?Shouldn't this war be fought face to face between the enemy and us?How did it become a three-party show of "friends and foes"?And that "friend" was obviously in collusion with the "enemy".Using the "enemy" to attract the main forces of the two leftists, Deng and Tian, ​​to the front line of Mianyang, the opportunity to seize the vast territory in northern and northwestern Sichuan was great.

"Is it possible to concentrate a main force and annihilate one of their regiments or one battalion?" Huang Muyan, representing the CCP, suddenly interjected. Now he has finally fulfilled his wish and passed the party's test to join the Communist Party, but at the same time he is still a leftist member of the Kuomintang. .He walked to the military map, looked at it for a while, and said: "The troops of these Kuomintang rightists are very scattered and have penetrated into our territory. In fact, they violated the taboo of military strategists. We can concentrate some of our troops to encircle and wipe out some of them. If you hurt them, you can take the initiative."

is this okay?Tian Songyao looked at Deng Xihou. Now he is the boss. Sun Zhen took away more than half of Tian Songyao's army. There is only one division with 3 men left. I don't know if we can annihilate a regiment of the Kuomintang when we gather together?Deng Xihou still has nearly 1 guns in the three divisions, and there are also dissatisfied divisions of Liu Bin, Luo Zezhou, and Chen Guodong, which add up to more than [-] people.There were basically no artillery, few machine guns, and a shortage of bullets. The problem of military pay was partially solved by Borodin.

"Duke Jin, they have already made the first move, we can't just bear with it, otherwise we will be regarded as weak and deceitful!" Seeing Deng Xihou's hesitation, Huang Muyan took a military map from the table beside him, Standing in front of Deng Xihou, he pointed to Cangxi, a small town in the southeast of Guangyuan, and said with a smile: "This Cangxi county is our gateway to Guangyuan. It was captured by them ten days ago, and now they have a regiment of troops there. It is a regiment that was transformed from the Hunan Army. The leader of the regiment is Chen Mingren, a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa. He has never fought any battles. We happened to take him into action! We mobilized two divisions, and the one regiment that beat him was Lei Gong Fighting tofu can definitely be done with one move, and it won't affect the decisive battle. And now Yang Sen and Wang Zixing are busy reorganizing the troops, and they won't be able to move for ten days and a half months. We don't fight now and wait for them to reorganize the troops. It's all over."

"But—" Borodin seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. After all, it is the "KMT leftists" and not the Red Army who are fighting now, so it will not cause a break in the relationship between the two parties, and if this battle fails, Deng Xihou Hetian Songyao probably has no other way out but to join the Red Army and accept the adaptation, right?Thinking of this, Borodin stood up and said loudly to Deng Xihou: "General Deng, we have no choice but to fight! If we win this battle, we still have a place in Sichuan. If we lose, we will go out of Sichuan at most. If you don't fight, you will be squeezed out of Sichuan by Yang Sen in the end. General, please make up your mind!"

……

"Fu Gong, the latest information, Deng Xihou's two divisions quietly left Mianyang last night and went northward, whereabouts are unknown." The Sichuan Army really has no secrets. Huang Yin just led the two main divisions to the north, and Li Jiajue went to Luo Zezhou from his old troops. I got the news there that Li Jiajuan is now the commander of the No.40 Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army and is stationed in Da County.After getting the news, Li Jiajue did not hesitate, and immediately sent a phone call to Chongqing for camping.

Luo Yaoguo had just woken up and was still eating breakfast when he got the news from Sun Yuanliang who hurried over.This handsome guy has now completed his intelligence work and returned to the camp to be the chief of the colonel's intelligence department. Zeng Kuoqing was appointed as the director of the Sichuan Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, which is also a good vacancy.

"Order all the ministries that have entered the northern and northwestern Sichuan to return to strongholds that can be defended, and be more vigilant." Luo Yaoguo put down the snacks in his hand, stood up and walked to the war room, making arrangements while walking: "Who sent this news?" ?”

"It's General Li Qixiang (Li Jiajue), and his old subordinate Luo Zezhou is willing to join us." Sun Yuanliang smiled and said: "Luo Zezhou is now stationed in Mianyang with half a division, if we are willing to give him a division commander, he will join us. "

"How many troops does Mianyang City have now?" Luo Yaoguo asked after thinking about it.

"Originally there were two divisions of Deng Xihou and one division of Tian Songyao. These three divisions probably left a brigade watchman. In addition, there were Liu Bin, Luo Zezhou and Chen Guodong each with a missing division, with a total strength of about [-]. Now Huang Yin We have already taken away Deng Xihou's two divisions, and Luo Zezhou is willing to be our internal support." Sun Yuanliang stopped here and looked at Luo Yaoguo.

Chapter 0199 Lingjiang Street or Siping Street? (one)

Chen Mingren knew that he was about to become famous in a battle!

After receiving the early warning telegram from the camp in Chongqing, he immediately judged that Deng Xihou's target was him!The enemy's two divisions traveled thousands of miles to Lingjiang Street, Cangxi County to fight desperately with his No. 20 Third Division 68th Regiment.This is probably the intuition of the so-called famous generals, right?

It is more than 200 kilometers from Mianyang to Cangxi through mountains and mountains. It is estimated that the enemy will arrive in four days.So he had four days to build the fortifications and call for reinforcements.Now the 23rd Division and the 67th Regiment are stationed in Langzhong, a famous city more than 20 kilometers away.Chen Mingren sent a telegram for help to his teacher Wu Jianxue, and explained his reasons, because Cangxi is known as the Qinlong Lock and Key, and the Ping Fan in Northern Shu.Occupying Cangxi County by myself is like putting a knife on Deng Xihou's chest. With a little force, the army can go straight to Guangyuan Mansion. At that time, Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao's tens of thousands of troops will not even have a channel to go north out of Sichuan!Therefore, Deng Xihou's deployment of troops this time must be directed at Cangxi County.

After receiving Chen Mingren's report, Wu Jianxue did not dare to neglect. After all, he is the student of Chairman Jiang and Director Luo, and there are people above him, so he asked Qiu Qingquan, the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion, who graduated from the second phase of the artillery department, to bring half a cannon Battalion and six mountain artillery rushed to reinforce.At the same time, Chen Mingren's judgment was reported to Chongqing Xingying.

……

Today was the fourth day, and Chen Mingren was standing on the commanding heights of Gongjia Mountain, a highland outside the town, holding a six-power military telescope in his hand, and staring at the road in the distance.Under his feet is a very standard fortification, which consists of three trenches, traffic trenches, anti-battery holes, machine gun bunkers, artillery observation posts, and a command post. This is the masterpiece of Huang Guyu, who graduated from engineering.The frail and sickly deputy commander was not so much a soldier as an excellent engineer. In fact, he was originally an engineering graduate of Tongji College in Shanghai.

Here they come!The Sichuan army commanded by Huang Yin did not keep Chen Mingren waiting, and countless gray figures appeared on the road beside the Jialing River.An attack formation is being formed, ready to launch the first tentative attack.

Putting down the binoculars, Chen Mingren sneered at the enemy in the distance, and swaggered into his strong former enemy command post.Huang Guyu doesn't seem to intend to take over after the commander's death, so he always builds the strongest front-line command post for this regiment who likes to command at the front line. Basically, a few rounds of 75mm shells will not blow it up. of.

As soon as Chen Mingren entered the command post, the sporadic shelling of the Sichuan Army began.The artillery shells exploded craters around the position of the 68st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, raising waves of smoke and dust. After firing about a dozen rounds, none of them hit. It seems that the enemy did not find this well-camouflaged place. position.This is mainly due to the broken fishing nets full of leaves. It is said that these "camouflage nets" were thought up by their vice principal Luo Yaoguo one night.

I'm afraid there are three battalions of enemies, this Huang Yin is really powerful!As soon as he walked into the command post, Chen Mingren raised his binoculars and stared at the opponent's line.This is the first battle he has commanded independently. It is impossible to say that he is not nervous at all. After all, he is now using one regiment and half an artillery battalion to fight against [-] Sichuan troops. That timid division commander Wu Jianxue does not know when To bring troops to reinforce?

The enemies of the three battalions formed several gray lines and walked forward slowly without firing their guns. I guess they haven't discovered the deadly killer hidden under the green hillside in front of them, right?

When the belated enemy walked 68 meters in front of the 1st Battalion of the 50th Regiment, the dull roar of the Min 13 machine gun finally sounded. A total of 6 heavy machine guns fired at the same time. The six flames were like cutting wheat. The gray figures that came were cut down row by row. The front of the 1st Battalion's position immediately became a bloody slaughterhouse, and the first wave of the Sichuan Army's offensive was easily disintegrated in this way.

As soon as the enemy retreated, the rumble of shelling began again. This time the shells were fired very densely and the landing points were relatively accurate.The continuously exploding shells wiped out the camouflage on the position of the 68st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, and the entire defense line was finally fully displayed in front of the enemy.

Another three battalions of the Sichuan Army formed a new wave of assault formation, like three gray waves, slowly pressing up against the position of the 68st Battalion of the 1th Regiment.

"Boom--"
