Lao Qin wrote the day before yesterday, "The enemy is taking a large attack, Xiang Ying advocated withdrawing from Soviet area . Chairman Mao: You can only leave after using 36 strategies", which tells the story of Chiang Kai-shek after the failure of the first "encirclement and suppression", and was so embarrassed that in February 1931, he mobilized 18 divisions and three other brigades, totaling 200,000 troops, and appointed the Minister of Military Affairs, He Yingqin to act as the commander-in-chief and initiated the second "encirclement and suppression". Xiang Ying, secretary of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area, was shocked by the enemy's momentum and proposed to give up the Soviet Area and go to the outside to fight guerrilla warfare . Chairman Mao had absolute confidence in breaking the enemy's second "encirclement and suppression", and made great efforts to "concentrate troops and destroy the enemy on the spot." The central "three-person group" composed of Ren Bishi, Wang Jiaxiang, and Gu Zuolin came to the Soviet area on April 1 and participated in the strategic discussion of the anti-"encirclement and suppression". Chairman Mao also took every opportunity to use various methods to patiently persuade Xiang Ying and the members of the " three-person group ". After more than a month of hard work, the Central Bureau finally agreed to allow the permission of "fight one war first" in the base area.
Because the enemy is so powerful and advances in several ways, it is worth studying which enemy troops to fight first.
For this reason, the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area held the third and fourth enlarged meetings in succession.
In the first anti-"encirclement and suppression" war in , Chairman Mao adopted the method of fighting the strong first and then fighting the weak, and defeated the strongest Zhang Huizan and Tan Daoyuan th Division, which were the strongest among the 18 invading divisions with a thunderous attack. The two divisions were destroyed, and other enemy troops scattered one after another, and the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" collapsed in an instant.
Therefore, many of the Red Army officers and soldiers who attended the meeting were influenced by their last victory experience and suggested that they fight the strongest Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai's 19th Route Army first. Everyone said happily: "After defeating Jiang and Cai, we can let go of our hands and feet and fight to southern Hunan."
Chairman Mao made a detailed analysis to everyone at the 4th enlarged meeting after careful research.
He said: "After my research and statistical results, I found that the 19th Route Army of Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai had never been defeated in history. It is the strongest combat effectiveness among the invading armies this time. Moreover, they have been in Xingguo for a long time and have completed the fortifications. The two divisions of it are closely connected and difficult to separate. Once we choose to fight Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai, it is easy to evolve into a tough battle rather than a mobile war. If we cannot capture it for a long time, the enemy from the north will come over, and our teachers' veterans are tired and are attacked from both sides, and they will suffer a great loss. Therefore, we should not fight Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai's 19th Route Army."
Everyone was stunned and unable to speak after hearing Chairman Mao's words.
Since we cannot confront Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai's 19th Route Army head-on, some people suggest fighting the 6th Route Army's Zhu Shaoliang , Mao Bingwen , Hu Zuyu and other troops.
Chairman Mao still shook his head and said, "The troops of Zhu, Mao and Hu are not weak, and if we fight it, we have to use troops westwards. There is another Ganjiang to the west. Even if we win them, there is no room for development. When we go back and fight eastwards, it will be a labor force to work hard and it will not be worth the loss."
So, which unit of the enemy will be attacked first?
Chairman Mao’s reason is: Among the five divisions of Wang Jinyu’s 4 divisions, Luo Lin’s division must defend Ji'an , and the other 4 divisions belong to the North and South Transfers. They are new to the North and the Land and the Land are not adapted to the local conditions, are not used to fighting in the mountains, have low fighting spirit and are not strong in morale, and are considered weak soldiers to us. Once we defeat them, we can sweep eastward, quickly expand the base area, recruit soldiers and raise funds, so as to break the next "encirclement and suppression".
After listening to Chairman Mao's analysis, everyone was convinced and agreed to fight Wang Jinyu's troops first, and determined the first battle to kill the 47th and 28th divisions of Wang Jinyu's troops. After the meeting ended, Chairman Mao, Zhu De and others ordered the main forces of the front army to enter the Baiyun Mountain area near Futian and Donggu, setting up ambush along the mountain.
In order to accurately understand the passes and canyons of the various mountains between Donggu and Futian, Chairman Mao and Peng Dehuai, two leaders of the Red Army, also went deep into the mountains and ridges to investigate.
While they observe the terrain and discuss military situations, they repeatedly argue every tactical problem. When they are hungry and thirsty, they pick the thorns and fill their hunger and quench their thirst.
Finally, Chairman Mao planned to arrange blocking and ambush positions from the Third and Fourth Army of the First Red Army about 8 kilometers from Donggu; Red Third Army went around to the right side of the enemy and formed a formation with the Ganjiang River back.
Forming a formation of a backwater is a taboo in military strategists. If it were normal, Chairman Mao would definitely not have done this risk. But in order to fight this battle well, he decided to give it a try.
Considering that the Red Third Army was brought out by Peng Dehuai, he asked Peng Dehuai with concern: "Is this arrangement possible? Is the Third Army too dangerous?"
Peng Dehuai is a natural general with a courageous spirit. He usually uses military force for his bravery. He answered confidently: "There is no danger. The enemy would never dream of our army attacking them from the flanks."
Chairman Mao's deployment, in addition to letting the Red Third Army form a formation, the Red First Army's position to block and ambush is also a dangerous place. It is five or six kilometers away from Guo Hua's sect's army to the north and more than 20 kilometers away from Cai Tingkai's army to the south. If our army cannot fight quickly in battle, it is likely to attract attacks from Guo and Cai.
In order to prevent any situation, Chairman Mao arranged for the Red 7th Division and the Red 35th Division to send one regiment to block the 19th Route Army in Fengbian, Chenggang, Fangtai and Chongxian; another regiment of the Red 35th Division restrained Grandmaster Guo Hua near Tantou. After the arrangement of
is set, the main force of the Red Army 30,000 is to wait for Wang Jinyu's troops to leave their positions, launch a shocking attack, and annihilate it.
On May 13, 1931, Chairman Mao received information that Wang Jinyu's 5th Route Army's 28th Division and 47th Division were invading Donggu in two routes. Therefore, he and Zhu De issued the "Order to Eliminate the Enemy of Attacking Donggu".
In order to ensure victory in the first battle, Chairman Mao rushed to the ambush position of the Red Third Army on the evening of the 15th, and found a guide to investigate the road with Commander Huang Gongluo, and found a remote path, and determined the direction of the attack of the main force of the Red Third Army from this path.
On May 16, it was not dawn yet, Chairman Mao and Zhu De led part of the direct team of the Red First Front Army headquarters to the command post in Baiyun Mountain from Huangshaao Village.
The avenue they walked was the day before by the Red Army troops, and they were safe and sound along the way.
However, after walking more than 20 kilometers and crossing Qiaotougang, the sun had climbed up the mountainside. The command post scheduled on Baiyun Mountain was already in sight. Three fellow villagers hurried over and reported to him, saying, "There is Baigouzi coming here, only three or four miles away from here."
What's going on?
How could an enemy appear behind our main force?
Everyone found it strange and whispered: "Where did these enemies come out?"
Time is urgent and cannot be sent out intermittently.
Chairman Mao and Zhu De said a few simple words.
Zhu De nodded, pulled out the wreck gun from his waist, took the guard company of the direct team to the east end of the bridge, occupied the favorable terrain, and prepared to face the enemy.
Chairman Mao led the radio staff and the communication platoon of the direct team to the command post.
After entering the command post, Chairman Mao heard the call for help from Wang Jinyu's 47th Division from the radio.
Chairman Mao judged that the battle would end soon.
Sure enough, not long after, the call for help was no longer heard.
Chairman Mao said to everyone happily: "We have won."
Yes, although our battle to encircle and annihilate Wang Jinyu's 47th Division has been won.
The danger he and Zhu De had just begun.
Zhu De led the guard company to launch a fierce attack with the enemy at one end of the bridge. The enemy has been knocked down a large area, but there are still more and more. It is estimated that there is a battalion's troops.
After Zhu De commanded the guard company to repel the enemy's attacks several times, he had to command his troops to retreat to another mountain road in Baiyun Mountain due to his limited ammunition.
As soon as Zhu De and his friends retreated, the command post where Chairman Mao was located was exposed to the enemy.
In an instant, the enemy's machine guns and mortar aimed at the command post, with full firepower, gunfire sounds continued, and the explosion of shells came one after another.
Chairman Mao’s situation is extremely dangerous.
In order to protect Chairman Mao, the staff and the communications platoon all threw away their carry-on backpacks, held the wrench gun, and covered Chairman Mao's retreat to the top of the mountain.
retreated to the mountainside, and Chairman Mao and his team met with some soldiers in the guard company led by Zhu De.
Chairman Mao looked around and did not see Zhu De. He was anxious and turned around and ran down, ordering more than 20 soldiers in the communication platoon and more than 10 soldiers of the guard company to launch a counterattack at the foot of the mountain. He said, "No matter what, we must find the commander-in-chief back."
The soldiers were red with their eyes and rushed down the mountain like tigers, and immediately repelled the enemy who was climbing in the front.
At this time, Zhu De led the two guards and retreated, climbing up the mountain.
When it reached the top of the mountain, Zhu De led everyone to occupy the favorable terrain and launch an attack on the enemy.
The enemy's attacks came one after another, and the direct team sacrificed many comrades, and there was not much ammunition left.
Chairman Mao encouraged everyone, "Comrades, if there is no bullet, we will smash the enemy with stones!"
We all know that the winning rate of using stones to fight against the enemy's machine gun and mortar is minimal.
In other words, Chairman Mao and his team's situation is really dangerous.
The enemy also found that we had no bullets. They were all ecstatic and kept shouting: "The Communist Army has no bullets, brothers, rush! The opportunity to make contributions is here!"
At this critical moment, the flying general fell from the sky!
As a loud charge sounded, Huang Gongliu led some of the soldiers of the Red Third Army to fall from the sky. They surrounded the enemy from behind, and the enemy suddenly became disorganized.
Not long after the battle, part of the Red Third Army also came.
The enemy was hit on both sides and collapsed quickly, dead, wounded, and fled, and soon disappeared.
The battle ended, and Chairman Mao carefully investigated the reasons for this encounter.
It turned out that the main force of the Red Third Army used the remote path found by Chairman Mao and Huang Gongluo the night before to launch a side attack on the enemy 28th Division, and the enemy 28th Division suddenly fell into chaos.
, Peng Dehuai was negligent in his work, that is, part of the Red Third Army failed to arrive at the scheduled location on time, causing the enemy 28th Division to escape a brigade. Part of this brigade wanted to escape from the main road west of the small bridge, but unexpectedly encountered a direct team led by Chairman Mao and Zhu De.
Lao Tan wrote the day before yesterday, "Who caught Zhang Huizan? Why did Chairman Mao say, "Is there a way to capture Zhang Huizan or Su Yu?" 》 said that our army won the first anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle, and the greatest contribution was Huang Gongluo's Red Army
This time, Huang Gongluo made another extraordinary contribution. Chairman Mao wrote " Fisherman's Pride·Anti-Second Encirclement and Suppression ". The first two sentences were "The clouds were about to stand on the top of Baiyun Mountain, and the voices were urgent under Baiyun Mountain", and then praised Huang Gongluo as "the flying general was coming to the sky."
