Sidu Chishui was described by Chairman Mao as his "proud work" in his military career. It was reviewed and deduced countless times by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. From a God's perspective, all the information was known, but it ultimately ended in failure. This makes us marvel at Mao Zedong's military talent. Let us learn about Mao Zedong's military talents through this game, and how he led the 30,000 exhausted Red Army to defeat the Kuomintang's 400,000-strong army.
The background of the fourth crossing of Chishui
The background of the fourth crossing of Chishui is Zunyi Conference. The Zunyi Conference was a historic turning point for the Communist Party of China. It confirmed Mao Zedong’s position in military command and denied Bogu Li De and others. The retreating military proposition led the Red Army team to victory. After the Zunyi Conference, the enemy was heavily fortified and it was difficult for the Red Army to break through the defense line. Mao Zedong decided to go back and forth between the enemy troops and break through the encirclement unexpectedly.
During the fourth crossing of Chishui, the Red Army was mobile and flexible, weaving back and forth and annihilating the enemy one by one, leaving the enemy confused as to the Red Army's true intentions. Afterwards, the Red Army was surprised, crossed the Wujiang River south, approached Guiyang, and quickly advanced westward without any rest. In late April 1935, one of the troops provided support on the flanks. In early May, they crossed the Wusha River and finally got rid of the 400,000-strong Kuomintang pursuit.
Now let me explain to you the encirclement of the Red Army from the four directions of east, west, north and south. You can understand it by yourself according to the accompanying pictures.
Let’s talk about the Red Army first. The core force of the Red Army occupies Zunyi . The 1st Red Army Corps is stationed at Loushanguan in the north. The 9th Red Army in the east is probably located at Xiangtan . The 5th Red Army Corps is in in the southwest. Tuanxi Town , Red Army Corps is south of Zunyi. It was obvious that four legions formed a defense line surrounding Zunyi.
The next step is to talk about the siege by the national army. To the south, eight divisions led by Xue Yue have occupied Guiyang and are about to cross the Wujiang and approach Zunyi. To the southwest of Zunyi there is the Guangxi-Guangdong Combined Army, and to the east of Wujiang there are four divisions of the Hunan Army , building a bunker defense line, and forming a large eastern barrier with the Guangdong-Guangxi Combined Army to the southwest to prevent the Red Army from escaping. In the north of Zunyi, Lao Chiang's Shangguan Yunxiang troops were moving towards Hejiang, preparing to join the encirclement. To the west of Zunyi, various fortresses on both sides of Chishui are guarded by ten brigades of the Sichuan Army, and the Yangtze River area is also heavily guarded. Wang Jialie's Guizhou army deployed early around the Red Army's defense line.
The Red Army's situation is extremely dangerous. To the north is the Yangtze River natural barrier, to the east is the Wujiang natural barrier and the Hunan Army's joint defense line. On the south bank of the Wujiang River is Xue Yue's army. To the west is the 10th Brigade of the Selected Army. It is also surrounded by Guizhou siege. The Red Army has 30,000 soldiers, and the National Army Four hundred thousand. In this situation, even if God's perspective is turned on, it is difficult to win.
The highest level of military command is to command the enemy
to cross Chishui, assemble in Tashi, and wait to annihilate the enemy.
On January 19, 1935, the Central Red Army set out from the Zunyi area and headed towards southern Sichuan in three routes. The 1st Red Army Corps on the right, to contain the enemy in Qijiang and Hejiang, set off from Songkan and rushed towards Chishui via Wenshui and Xishui; the 5th and 9th Red Army Corps and the Military Commission Column on the middle road started from Zunyi and Loushanguan. , Jingguandian attacked the enemies in Xishui and Tucheng; the 3rd Red Army Corps on the left, starting from the lazy bench, quickly got rid of the enemies who were chasing and flanking them, and advanced towards the ten cities. On the 26th, the 1st Red Army Corps entered Wanglongchang and Fuxingchang on the Chishui River , defeated the blockade of the two brigades of the Sichuan Army, and advanced southward along the Chishui River. The 3rd and 5th Red Army Corps, in coordination with the troops of the 1st Red Army Corps, defeated the pursuit and interception of the two divisions of the Guizhou Army Hou Zhidan's Department and the Sichuan Army Guo Xunqi's Department near Shicheng.
Subsequently, on the 29th, our armies passed through Shicheng and Yuanhouchang and crossed the Chishui River to the west. In early February, we entered the Xuyong and Gulin areas in southern Sichuan and prepared our cameras to cross the Jinsha River from the upper reaches of Yibin to the north.At this time, Zhang Guotao used the excuse that the Jialing River was "wide and deep and heavily defended" and resisted the central government's orders. Instead of leading the 4th Red Army to the south to attract the Sichuan enemy, Zhang Guotao instead attacked southern Shaanxi from the north. As a result, the Sichuan army had no worries and was able to gather troops. Use all your strength to block my northward advance. To the south, the enemy's Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan's columns and the Guizhou Army's Wang Jialie's Division moved from south to north, chasing the four brigades of our Yunnan Army's Sun Du Division, and also moved toward Bijie, Zhenxiong, and other places. Rapid progress. In view of the above new situation, Mao Zedong and others decided to postpone the plan to cross the Yangtze River north and instead move to the Tashi area where enemy forces were empty on the borders of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces. In a short period of time, they completed the reorganization and streamlining of the troops, which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the troops. , creating good conditions for waiting to annihilate the enemy.
Crossed Chishui for the second time, returned to Zunyi, and wiped out a large number of enemies.
Our army entered the Tashi area, but the enemy still judged that we would cross the Yangtze River north. In addition to adding more troops to the major crossings in the Yibin section, he also mobilized Yunnan Army and Sichuan Army Pan Wenhua units to approach the Tashi area in an attempt to attack us. Divide and attack together. In view of the fact that most of the enemy's main force has been attracted by us to the Sichuan-Yunnan border and the and northern Guizhou forces are empty, our army decided to surprise the enemy and march eastward, turning back to Guizhou. Our first regiment rushed to cross the Erlangtan of before the enemy, and successfully covered the troops from February 18 to 20. They crossed the Chishui River for the second time at the Taiping crossing of and Erlangtan, and continued to the direction of Tongzi and Zunyi. go ahead.
24 The Japanese occupied Tongzi. On the 25th, Ye Shi led Loushanguan. On the 27th, they defeated the blocking attack of three enemy regiments at Dong Gong Temple, and on the morning of the 28th, they once again attacked Zunyi City. At noon that day, after I entered Laoyashan, Honghuagang, and Zhongzhuangpu in the south of the city, I came into contact with the enemy's two divisions of Wu Qiwei's column rushing to support Zunyi. I took advantage of the enemy's unsteady footing and launched an attack. After repeated killings, I Most of the enemy troops were wiped out, and Wu Qiwei led the remaining troops in an attempt to escape across the Wujiang River. Except for a few people who followed him across the river, I captured more than 1,800 people and a large number of weapons who had not yet crossed the river. This battle in the Zunyi area lasted for five days. Two enemy divisions and eight regiments were defeated and annihilated, and more than 3,000 enemy soldiers were captured. It was the greatest victory achieved by the Central Red Army since its strategic shift. It greatly boosted morale and dampened the enemy's reactionary arrogance.
After crossing Chishui three times and four times, heading south breaking through the natural dangers of Wujiang and getting rid of the enemy
The Red Army crossed Chishui three times . On March 17, 1937, Mao Zedong became a three-person military team in Chen Fuchun on the Chishui River at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou. members, began to truly grasp the highest military command, and commanded the Red Army to cross the Chishui River for the fourth time to surprise Guiyang. This was the largest and most successful strategy and tactics implemented by Mao Zedong in his military career when he directly faced a powerful enemy in a battle of wits and courage. It reflected the most powerful tactics on the battlefield. Outstanding and most wonderful wisdom and strategy. On March 21, 1935, the Red Army crossed Chishui for the fourth time and began the "decapitation operation" of "capturing the thief first". Mao Zedong "built a plank road in secret and visited Chencang". While he ordered a small group of Red Army troops to march north with great fanfare, he led the main force to travel day and night and secretly headed south to attack Guiyang where Chiang Kai-shek was located. In the process, Mao Zedong forced Chiang Kai-shek to make three adjustments to the Yunnan Army in accordance with the Red Army's intentions, making way for the Red Army to march into Yunnan. Mao Zedong used the weak to control the strong militarily, manipulated Chiang Kai-shek, and brought the Red Army out of danger. This was obviously the main reason why Mao Zedong felt "satisfied".
During the Battle of Sidu Chishui, Mao Zedong learned from the lessons of previous battles based on the changes in the situation. He commanded the Central Red Army to skillfully intersperse between the heavy Kuomintang army groups and flexibly changed the combat direction, winning opportunities and creating fighter opportunities for the Red Army. During the movement, they annihilated a large number of Kuomintang troops, firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and achieved a decisive victory in the strategic shift. This is a glorious example in the history of Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army wars of taking the initiative with less victory and more change from passivity.
