Why was Mao Zedong's " crossing Chishui four times" successful?
Because he has a vision that others don’t have!
Mao Zedong during the Red Army period was so heroic that his eyes were burning
The Zunyi Conference chose Mao Zedong.
Although he was not yet the main person in charge of the party and the army,
he had been elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau.
After the Zunyi Conference,
Mao Zedong became Zhou Enlai's helper in military command,
Zhang Wentian replaced Bogu as the general secretary of the party.
At this time,
Zhang Wentian, out of his great trust in Mao Zedong's leadership and personal qualities,
proposed that Mao Zedong serve as the general secretary of the party.
But this proposal was dissuaded by Mao Zedong.
Here we have to pay tribute to Mao Zedong's foresight. sigh!
Why did Mao Zedong dissuade Zhang Wentian from this proposal?
He does have a profound view of the problem -
On the one hand,
this position was held by Bo Gu before the Zunyi Meeting.
After the Zunyi Meeting, Zhang Wentian replaced Bo Gu.
But if Zhang Wentian had not yet taken up this position, it quickly passed to Mao Zedong's hands. ,
will make many people think that "the Zunyi Conference is a bit of a power grab"
Many people will have a rebellious mentality about this.
They may even think that Mao Zedong's main purpose is to fight for power,
rather than sincerely leading everyone out of the enemy's encirclement and leading everyone to survive.
This will easily lead to the formation of teams. The new people's hearts are floating,
will naturally weaken the main intention of the Red Army to concentrate its forces against the enemy.
On the other hand,
along the way,
the experience and lessons of both success and failure have proved that Mao Zedong has the most potential as the supreme leader,
whether in politics or military,
Mao Zedong's ability was the strongest and most comprehensive.
Later, after he joined forces with Zhang Guotao, who led the Red Fourth Front Army,
in the process of Zhang Guotao's separatist activities,
the only person he feared most was Mao Zedong,
Others were not taken seriously by Zhang Guotao,
but Zhang Guotao's ambitions were swollen.
He wanted to seize the leadership of the party - suppress and replace the party's general secretary Zhang Wentian.
also wanted to seize military power - suppress and replace him. Want to replace Zhu De, Chairman of the Military Commission,
In this way,
including Mao Zedong,
almost all major leaders have become the targets of his suppression,
which means that in the struggle with the separatist Zhang Guotao,
almost all leaders stand with Mao Zedong Together.
Let's imagine,
If Mao Zedong accepted Zhang Wentian's proposal to serve as the general secretary of the party,
it is very likely that Zhang Guotao would hide his ambitions to win over other leaders in order to deal with Mao Zedong alone.
In this way,
To deal with the separatist Zhang Guotao,
the difficulty will increase several times.
In this matter,
except Mao Zedong,
no one has his foresight and foresight.
This is the first example of Mao Zedong having foresight and foresight that others do not have.
Battle of Tucheng (oil painting)
For Mao Zedong himself,
great changes have taken place after the Zunyi Conference.
Things have become more calm and sophisticated,
thinking has become more rigorous and thoughtful,
especially become sharper Introverted and better at uniting people.
After all,
After so many blows and setbacks,
Mao Zedong has indeed become more mature.
This has provided him with the ability to meet the severe challenges ahead,
leading everyone to "cross Chishui four times" and jump out of the enemy's heavy encirclement. Strong foundation.
After the Zunyi Conference,
Chiang Kai-shek,
who had been lost in pursuit of the Red Army, also came to his senses.
Remobilized 400,000 heavy troops to launch a new round of pursuit and interception.
On the surface,
Chiang Kai-shek’s 400,000-strong troops chasing and intercepting him were indeed terrifying,
but in Mao Zedong’s view,
this situation was not more severe than during the third counter-campaign of “encirclement and suppression”,
because he felt that Chiang Kai-shek’s This kind of encirclement can never be fought.
This is an encirclement formed by Chiang Kai-shek's various armies being put together here and there.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
For Mao Zedong,
his only disadvantage is that
the Red Army team is too tired,
therefore in a passive state,
Next,
what he has to do is how to turn the Red Army's passivity into initiative.
After the Zunyi Conference, Mao Zedong regained military power.
The first battle of the new starting point, the "Battle of Tucheng", did not let everyone see Mao Zedong's "use of troops like a god".
What's going on?
On the way to Tucheng,
Mao Zedong believed that there were valleys on both sides of the road,
where he could encircle and annihilate the Sichuan troops who were pursuing and going deep alone.
But strangely,
after a fierce battle,
did not achieve anything. The expected results,
, turned out that the enemy was not more than 6,000 people as the intelligence said,
, but more than 10,000 people,
and the enemy had follow-up reinforcements that were coming in a steady stream.
Obviously,
the war situation at this time was extremely unfavorable to the Red Army.
Mao Zedong once again demonstrated his foresight in emergencies.
He made a prompt decision and led the team to quickly withdraw from the battle.
As soon as he crossed the Chishui River west Enter.
This is the great thing about Mao Zedong.
When he found that this road was blocked, he quickly changed to another one.
Instead of stubbornly fighting like many people did,
Mao Zedong always adhered to one principle in his wars - he could not suffer losses.
He would never suffer losses in a battle. beat.
This is the second example of Mao Zedong having a vision that others did not have.
A surprise attack occurred when crossing Chishui
This time, Chiang Kai-shek spent a lot of money to "annihilate" the Red Army.
He hired Sichuan troops to deploy on the south bank of the Yangtze River,
to prevent the Red Army from crossing the Yangtze River north.
Under such circumstances,
Mao Zedong believed that it was necessary to avoid reality and get rid of the Sichuan Army,
then headed west into Yunnan.
How can the Red Army, which has only more than 30,000 people and is a tired army, survive being pursued and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?
Mao Zedong's method is one - to fight while walking, and to fight while walking.
China is such a big place,
If you can't walk here, you can go somewhere else.
As long as you keep walking,
you can always find it while walking. The enemy's fatal weakness and weak links,
will bite the enemy hard as long as he seizes the opportunity.
Mao Zedong used this method to make the Red Army become active.
Why did it go from the fifth counter-"encirclement and suppression" to the Zunyi Conference? During this period, the Red Army will be defeated one after another, and
is almost on the verge of despair?
The fundamental reason is that they do not have Mao Zedong's method of dealing with the enemy.
They do not have Mao Zedong's foresight.
This is the third example of Mao Zedong's foresight that others do not have.
Next,
In order to go west,
Mao Zedong took everyone back to the east first,
crossed Chishui twice, and captured Zunyi City.
During the experience when Mao Zedong led everyone to "cross Chishui four times",
Deng Xiaoping had the most profound experience.
He later said that his experience during the Long March was in three words - follow along!
These three words contain the true heart of many people, including him.
As long as you follow Mao Zedong, you will not be wrong!
When crossing Chishui for the second time, the Red Army saw the opportunity and bit the enemy - capturing 3,000 of the enemy's people,
achieved the greatest victory since the Long March.
The feeling that Mao Zedong had when he was commanding the counter-"encirclement and suppression" campaign in the base area came back.
When the enemy encircled the enemy to the east,
Mao Zedong led everyone west again.
At this time,
another thing happened that once again proved Mao Zedong's foresight - almost everyone agreed to attack Daguxinchang,
only Mao Zedong firmly opposed it,
because Mao Zedong said,
now is not the time to take advantage,
Once fooled, it will bring disaster to the Red Army.
We must withstand the temptation.
Later facts proved that Mao Zedong's judgment was correct.
If he really attacked Daguxinchang,
it is very likely that the Red Army would really fall into the enemy's encirclement and be annihilated.
This is what Mao Zedong had that others did not have. A fourth example of foresight.
Mao Zedong's opposition to the attack on Dagu Xinchang also brought about another result.
A new three-person regiment was established with Zhou Enlai as the leader and including Mao Zedong and Wang Jiaxiang to command the operation.
Next,
Chiang Kai-shek could not figure out where the Red Army under the leadership of Mao Zedong was going.
had to divide his troops to defend against the blockade.
In order to mobilize the enemy to move westward,
Mao Zedong led the Red Army to cross Chishui three times to march westward,
and sent a The regiment disguised itself as the main force of the Red Army and continued to advance northwest, but the main force of
assembled in secret.
Chiang Kai-shek mobilized his troops to pursue the Red Army westward,
but Mao Zedong led the Red Army across Chishui ,
back to Guizhou.
Mao Zedong faced Chiang Kai-shek's troops that were more than ten times the size of the Red Army.
With the Red Army, which had no base and was on the verge of despair, he "crossed Chishui four times".
He broke through the network that Chiang Kai-shek had spent all his money weaving.
He jumped out of the enemy's heavy encirclement of troops.
Let the Red Army turn danger into safety and change passivity into initiative.
