On April 20, 1935, the 190th Regiment of the 32nd Division of the Chiang Army was ambushed by the Red Army in Taoling, Yuexi County, Anhui Province. The regiment commander was killed and two battalions were completely wiped out. The 32nd Division was considered an elite unit of Chiang Kai-shek's army and was well-equipped. The Red Army made a fortune because of this and seized more than a dozen machine guns of and mortars of .
This Red Army is the Red 28th Army that stays behind Dabie Mountains . Since the Red Fourth Front Army and Red 25 Army successively left Hubei, Henan and Anhui, the Red 28 Army, led by Gao Jingting, insisted on fighting alone. Facing the encirclement and suppression of the enemy army that was hundreds of times more than itself, not only preserved its strength, but also took the initiative from time to time. The enemy was severely damaged and the team grew stronger, which really brought the essence of guerrilla warfare to the extreme.
Red Army Guerrillas
Taoling ambush victory is certainly gratifying, but a mere battle is not enough to change the sinister situation. In the past, there were more than 20 counties in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, and there was room for room for rapid development and movement. The wounded were sent to the homes of fellow villagers. The troops had no worries anymore, just fight happily. Now after several "encirclement and suppression", the Soviet area has been completely lost. The Red 28th Army can only go to the enemy-occupied areas to fight guerrillas. The source of troops, food sources, and the resettlement of wounded personnel have become unsolvable problems. Therefore, Gao Jingting wanted to lead his troops to find the Red 25th Army. After finding the old troops, he had a support.
Taking advantage of the victory of the battle, the Red 28th Army held a meeting in Huangweihe Town, Huoshan County. After discussion, it decided to go to , Shaanxi , to find the Red 25th Army. The problem is that the Red 28th Army did not have a radio station, and its contact with the outside world was almost completely interrupted. It was only analyzed from the newspaper that Xu Haidong and the others were in southern Shaanxi. As for how far it is to go to southern Shaanxi and whether the enemy situation is serious, whether Hong25 is still in southern Shaanxi is still unknown, so they can only take one step at a time.

They set out not long ago, and they encountered the 106th Division of the Chiang Army in Wujian Mountain in Gushi County. The 195th Brigade, which was following behind, followed, and a regiment of the 96th Brigade also detoured from the side.
faces enemies three times, and major events are not good, and the Red 28th Army breaks through overnight. The dark night has always been the world of the Red Army. They marched all the way and left the enemy's army and came to Henan Mall, where they wiped out a battalion of the enemy's security regiment, and seized 20,000 bullets. Then the troops fought fiercely with a regiment of the 112th Division of the Northeast Army in Yangwandian, Luoshan County, annihilated two enemy companies and seized more than 10,000 bullets again.
is in Luoshan County . The Red 28th Army met with the Northeast Hubei Independent Regiment, which insisted on fighting here. Independent Regiment all joined the Red 28th Army. In this way, the total number of the entire army reached more than 2,500, compared with the departure. It has grown a lot before, and its weapons and equipment have been greatly improved.
The Red Army's equipment models are very diverse. Hanyang's rifles are the main guns
The key reason why the Red 28 Army can fight well is that they have a very capable leader Gao Jingting. Gao was from Xinxian, Henan Province. He studied in a private school when he was young and was proficient in literature and writing, which is rare in the Red Army. The resolute struggle against the enemy and the strong organizational ability made Gao Jingting stand out from the team that participated in the Huangma Uprising and became an important leader of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base.
He is a recognized guerrilla master, leading troops to fight in an unconventional manner, and summarized that "If the enemy is clear, fight, and if the enemy is unclear, fight; if there is a terrain, fight, and if there is a terrain, fight, and if there is a terrain, fight; if there is a small casualty, fight, and if there is a big casualty, fight; The principle of "four fights and four no fights" of "four fights and four no fights" is his major creation. Since breaking out of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, facing many enemy troops, his principle is very clear, that is, "drag down the direct army, attack Northeast Army , and ask for supplies from the security team." In short, it is a loss-making transaction that is determined not to be resolutely Do.
Gao Jingting
Pinghan Railway is the main line of defense for Chiang Kai-shek's army to blockade the base area, but the Red 28th Army went over without much effort. The enemy adjusted its deployment and sieges from multiple routes. Gao Jingting showed his true nature as a guerrilla master again, leading the Red 28th Army toward first, then turned north, and threw away all the enemies chasing him.
By the end of May, the Red 28th Army had entered southern Shaanxi and was constantly harassed by small groups of enemies.One day, the Forward Pistol Regiment encountered the enemy. The two sides exchanged fire and retreated separately, waiting for change. At this time, the Red Army saw the road behind the enemy, as if a large army was passing by, so they asked the nearby people what unit they were. The people replied that it was the Red Army.
The soldiers were immediately overjoyed and thought they were about to meet with the Red 25th Army, so they hurriedly reported to their superiors. Fang Yongle, who was the political commissar of the 82nd Division and was only 20 years old at the time, was old and calm. He judged that there was unlikely to be a Red Army here and asked the plainclothes team to continue reconnaissance. plainclothes team caught a prisoner and asked, and then they found out that these people were Northeast Army from Xi'an. The people called it " Fengjun ". The "Fengjun" in Henan dialect sounded like the "Red Army". The soldiers actually heard it wrong.
Northeast Army troops
This information is too important. If the enemy is really regarded as the Red Army, it may be a catastrophe. The Red 28th Army immediately convened all the leaders of the army, division and regiment for a meeting to study. At present, the enemy situation is much more serious than expected. There are five divisions in front and a brigade chased behind. It is impossible to advance westward according to the original route. , reopening the route. The problem is that I am not familiar with the place and don’t even have a map in my hand. How can I open up a new route? Gao Jingting called all the staff and reconnaissance personnel to come up with ideas, but no one could give a good opinion.
discussion for a whole afternoon but there was no result. Gao Jingting, who had always made decisive decisions, finally took a photo: Go back to Dabie Mountains and continue fighting guerrillas!
Actually, this is what everyone thinks, but no one dares to say it. Farmers have a strong sense of rural concepts and no one is willing to leave their hometowns unless they are absolutely necessary. It was a last resort to withdrawing from Hubei, Henan and Anhui, but the current situation has become a purposeless person and the troops are in a more dangerous situation. Then going back to their hometown is the only choice. Therefore, Gao Jingting's decision was unanimously supported.
On the premise that he completely lost contact with his superiors, Gao Jingting was a person in the Red 28th Army, without any restrictions on the rules and regulations. It was their own decision when they left the base area, and now they are their own decision when they go back. What's wrong? Take advantage of the situation and adapt to the situation. They should have been like this when they were born in the guerrillas.
Red 28th Army made a sharp turn, bypassed the 5th Independent Brigade, and captured a Northeast Army mule and horse brigade in Huaihedian east of in Tongbai County, and supplemented a large number of supplies. Then he set up an ambush at the Taohua Mountain Watershed, attacking the 5th Independent Brigade that followed the way, and seized hundreds of guns. This is not over yet. A few days later, the Red 28th Army annihilated two battalions of the Northeast Army in Guangshan County , captured 800 people and seized more than 500 guns. The Red Army was so powerful that it returned to the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains victoriously.
The Red 28th Army did not achieve the purpose of joining the Red 25th Army this time. But along the way, they created amazing results: under the siege of dozens of enemy regiments, they annihilated 6 enemy battalions, killed, wounded and captured more than 3,000 enemies, seized countless weapons and ammunition, and the Red Army itself suffered minor casualties. . It can be seen that Hong28's combat effectiveness and Gao Jingting's command ability are both excellent. They were able to persist in the red flag of the Dabie Mountains under extremely difficult conditions, which was indeed a miracle on earth.
