From to 1935 2020

As one of Chang Kaishen's direct descendants, the Eighteenth Army did not hesitate to retreat with him. The more unlucky one was Zhu Peide, who received the retreat order to stay behind at Yudu.When Zhu Peide saw the two friendly troops on the left and the rear running back at the same time, his troops in Yushe were immediately in the "south" salient position.

On the 1th, most of the main force of the Red Army was still in the Wuxiang area, and only Luo and Liu's more than [-] blocking troops confronted Zhu Peide's troops.

The third army in Zhu Peide's hands is the 3rd and 38th divisions. They have fought against the Red Army in the Ruijin base for many years, and the two sides know each other well.

Zhu Peide is one of the few generals in the Kuomintang army who has the weakest sense of warlord, relatively the best integrity, and knows how to put the overall situation first.He was teaching martial arts in Yunnan, and Zhu Peide and Zhu De were schoolmates.In the strict and almost cruel military training, the two encouraged and helped each other, and were selected into the special class because of their excellent grades, and they were called the "model two Zhu" of the school.

After the "April [-]" counter-revolutionary coup, Zhu Peide took great risks to welcome the communists Zhu De and Guo Moruo to Nanchang, and appointed Zhu De as the General Counselor of the Fifth Front Army, the head of the Third Army's officer training group, and the director of the Nanchang Public Security Bureau.

In late July 1927, when Zhu Peide realized that Zhu De, He Long, and Ye Ting were closely related and that important actions were bound to take place, he not only did not control Zhu, He, Ye, and others, but instead sent Wang Jun, who was also Zhu De's classmate, to When he went to Suichuan to control the troops, he asked Chiang Kai-shek for leave to go to Mount Lu for recuperation. Zhu De handled all the important military and political affairs in Nanchang, which objectively provided convenient conditions for the Nanchang Uprising. This is not generally explained by Zhu Peide's "left". .

In this battle, this person's misfortune is that his "morality" is too good.Chang Bald, who knew his character, gave him the order after the end. As a traditional soldier, this man obediently placed the two main forces under his command on the battlefield on the front line of Yudu.Prepared to attack and cover the retreat of friendly forces.

On the 25th, the [-]th Division, which was fleeing south frantically, unexpectedly discovered that the Red Army planes that had been flying to bomb them for two rounds every day for the past two days suddenly did not come, and continued to flee south in great joy.

Following Zhang Xueliang's statement of "forcing Chang to resist the war", the 57th and 67th armies responded militarily. In Shanxi, all the Chang Kaishen troops who entered Jin had a large-scale panic.

At dawn on the 145th, a GO[-] trainer plane landed at the front of the Red Army's control area in front of the Yushe defense line.At the same time, a total of [-] planes flew over the Yushe defense line and began to bombard the third army's temporary defense position violently.

Everything is just a reenactment of the scene of besieging and annihilating Wei Lihuang's No.14 army. The bombing was followed by shelling, but a new role was added: the tank appeared!

At this time, Xu Shuai had basically assembled the main force of the encirclement and suppression of Wei Lihuang's troops to the front line of Yushe.

The general attack started immediately.

Compared with the area in Wuxiang County, the terrain in Yushe is relatively flat, and there are many areas suitable for tanks to break through the defense line defended by the Third Army.

Although the Third Army was the Central Army, because Zhu Peide himself was not from the Whampoa faction, the Third Army was actually a motley army under Chang Kaishen's "not human"—it was abolished in 1935 and almost caused a mutiny.It's just that Zhu Peide, a traditional soldier, is more "honest", and he is also loyal to Chang Kaishen, helping to calm the grievances in the army.However, the recovery of the strength of the Third Army was due to Huang Ke changing history and the strong rise of the Red Army, so Chang Kaishen had no choice but to restore the Third Army and increase its strength.

The strength of the army has increased, but as the third-class people in the Central Army, the weapons are still the same, and there is a serious lack of anti-tank weapons.

Just like during the Battle of Bayannur.

Already dizzy by the air bombing, the Third Army's defense line was on the verge of collapse, facing the charge of the mini-tank group composed of five tanks with the M[-]A[-] infantry fighting vehicle driven by Elena as the vanguard, followed by four CV[-] tanks. , All defense lines collapsed like paper.

On the morning of the [-]th, with five tanks as the breakthrough arrows, they messed around in the third army's defense line. In just one morning, Zhu Peide's broken defense line completely collapsed.

On the [-]th, the main force of the Red Army had advanced more than ten kilometers behind Zhu Peide's line of defense, while the remaining troops of the Third Army were divided and surrounded by several hills or strongholds.

The remnants of Zhu Peide’s troops finally persisted until the following month before surrendering to the Red Army—the reason why they lasted so long was that during this period, Zhu De’s old friend, Zhu De, personally visited the front line of Yuci, sent a special envoy to speak out before the battle, and then Two old friends who have known each other for many years, after a long talk outside the city.Zhu Peide agreed to put down his arms and not resist, and the two sides ended the "warring state".

But the Red Army did not capture them and confiscated their weapons, but only temporarily monitored them.The reason was that during this period, Chang Kaishen could no longer fight.Carrying out killing battles, or capturing the other party, is of little significance, but will only increase resentment.

At that time, the main Red Army, eager to pursue the other two armies, only left some troops to monitor the remnants of Zhu Peide, and the rest continued to pursue.

Also on the [-]th, since the Central Army entered Shanxi from the northern Shanxi and Taiyuan railway lines, in the Xindingpan area, which had been relatively peaceful, countless Red Army guerrillas emerged overnight.

They are small in scale, but they planted landmines everywhere, fired cold shots, and frantically destroyed the Taiyuan-Shijiazhuang railway.In the early hours of the [-]th, over a hundred places along the railway line were blasted maliciously by the guerrillas.

They didn't simply dismantle the railway, but put a little explosive under a section of the track, blowing up the track so that it could not be opened to traffic.

In the past few months, Tianma Company has opened branches all over Shanxi, and Pan Hannian's cars have also traveled to every city along the Shanxi railway line.Every branch is a hidden seed buried in advance.A few hundred grams of explosives can easily deform a section of railroad track.After laying out the game for so long, it finally started to be revealed on this day.

Overnight, the entire Shanxi Railway was almost paralyzed.The Central Army, which was in a hurry to flee northward, immediately suffered a lot.

Tang Enbo's No.13 Army entered Jin by train, and then went south to Yushe.Along with him were Gao Guizi's 84th Division and Shang Zhen's [-]nd Army.Of these two troops, the former is from the Shaanxi Army, and the latter is a native of Shanxi.They were born in the motley army, and they are also very aware of Chang Baldzi's nature of driving the motley army to death first.Compared with Zhu Peide, a "traditional general", one of these two came from the Northwest, a place where swords come and go, and the other is also "dancing" between Yan Laoxi and Chang Kaishen The old oily.

After these two learned that Zhang Xueliang announced that the Northeast Army would enter Jin, they knew that something was wrong.Before Chang Kaishen's retreat order was issued, they retreated an hour earlier than Tang Enbo's troops.

When retreating, the two armies were located at the westernmost edge of the Central Army—according to Chang Kaishen's assumption, the previous offensive formation of the armies was originally designed to allow the Northeast Army, the [-]th Division, and the [-]nd Army to attack. The dark idea of ​​a miscellaneous brand first going to the city of Taiyuan to fight with the Red Army.

When the Red Army counterattack began on the [-]th, the [-]th Division and the [-]nd Army closest to Taiyuan were the first to encounter a fierce attack from the west.

It was the Red Army that surrounded Taiyuan and the [-]th Army led by Wang Yizhe, a friendly army of the Red Army, that attacked these two units.

When encircling and annihilating Wei Lihuang's troops, Xu Shuai took away a full 11 main force of the Red Army!

What was left in the hands of Chairman Li Yunshi was less than 4 troops.But during the period from the day of crossing the river on March [-] to April [-], being the "partial teacher" who surrounded Taiyuan-like Li Runshi was not just sitting idle.

Wei Lihuang and Guan Linzheng's troops entered Jin, and the two armies were busy staking land, and Sun Yuanliang's troops entered Jin, busy scraping land everywhere.

When the Red Army entered the country, it was busy fighting the local tyrants to divide the land, mobilizing the local people to rush to the Red Army, and working hard to transform the captured Jinsui Army into the Red Army.

When crossing the river on March 15, the total strength of the Red Army entering Jin was [-].

But by April 20th, within a month, the total strength of the Red Army in Li Runshi's hands had drastically increased to 10!Of the newly added [-] Red Army, one-third was the former Jinsui army who turned from white to red, and the rest of the new recruits joined the army after the land reform.At this time, the total strength of the Red Army in the hands of Li Runshi was close to [-].Coupled with the two "friendly troops" of the Northeast Army who changed their positions, they instantly transformed into terrifying behemoths beside the retreating Central Army troops.In terms of numbers, it even surpassed Xu Shuai's main force who was counterattacking on the southern front.

The 57th Army of the Northeast Army did not participate in the attack on the Central Army. They just stationed quietly near Taiyuan, and with a small amount of Red Army, they suppressed Yan Laoxi in the city without daring to move.

On the western front, a total of [-] Red Army and [-] Northeast Army united to launch a fierce attack on the flank of the Central Army.

Although the Northeast Army's combat effectiveness is poor, its weapons are excellent.With the Red Army as a friendly army, the 82nd Division on the left wing (west) of Tang Enbo's division, which was retreating, was defeated in one morning.

Then the more than 3 people of the Thirteenth Army had to directly face the joint siege of the [-] Red Army and the [-] Northeast Army.

On the 21st, Xu Shuai's Red Army marching north also bit the tail of Luo Zhuoying's [-]th Army and began a fierce attack.

At this time, Chang Kaishen's central army has collapsed in fighting spirit!

Facing one south and one west, two directions are coming, more than 20 Red Army and Northeast Army coalition forces, do not have the upper hand in terms of strength, no advantage in weapons, and the opponent still has air supremacy, constantly dispatching planes to bomb... ..

Both the [-]th Army and the [-]th Army were desperate at this time. Not many people wanted to resist. Everyone frantically ran and retreated in the direction of Shimen-Zhangjiakou along the damaged section of the Shanxi Railway.

Although the railway has been damaged a lot, the damage distance is limited after all, and Chang Kaishen is constantly moving the front of the train from other places at this time, traveling tens of miles, as long as he reaches a place where the train can pass, he will have a chance to get on the train. The train runs away.

There is a saying that a trapped beast will still fight.

If the trapped beast has hope, it won't fight to the death.

The betrayal of the Northeast Army, when they teamed up with the Red Army to backstab, from Chang Kaishen to the generals who commanded the battle below, their mentality completely collapsed at this time.

The rescue train did arrive quickly, and there were indeed some fast runners who grabbed onto the train and fled.

But with hope, it means that the will to resist will collapse even more, because everyone only cares about snatching the last hope.

The Red Army, which has air superiority, deliberately did not send planes to bomb the few trains, and allowed the defeated soldiers of the Central Army to scramble for those few trains at the station.One is that the distance is a little farther, and it is basically difficult to catch these people without bombing the train.Another reason is Chairman Lee Yun-seok's intention.After this battle, Chang Kaishen no longer has much influence in the north. It is meaningless to kill thousands of people—because the Red Army does not kill prisoners. If these people are captured, they will be released afterwards. It is meaningless to kill a few more people .

In the end, about [-] officers and soldiers of the Central Army fled to Shijiazhuang by railway.The rest could only use their feet to continue fleeing northeastward, back to Zhangjiakou and Baoding.

There are several classic battles that can be used as a reference for the scene when the two armies are defeated.

The first was the Battle of Dunkirk, where hundreds of thousands of British and French allied forces were driven by the German army like chasing sheep and frantically fled to seaside ports.

Another picture is the chaotic scene of the Kuomintang army in Xiaguan at the end of the Songhu Campaign, when Nanjing was defeated.

Zhu Huaibing's 94th Division, which ran the slowest, was overtaken by Xu Shuai's troops on the 22nd. Two-thirds of the troops were surrounded and wiped out. Fortunately, the division commander Zhu Huaibing was not among the captured ones, and he was considered the division with the greatest loss.

Although the rest of the Eighteenth Army were spared, they were all wounded. During the collapse of the whole army, they were bitten off by the Red Army one brigade or several regiments.

Tang Enbo's troops, which retreated the earliest and had the best position, received the strongest blow from the Red Army because the 84th and 32nd armies were "substitutes", and were only swept away by the "aftermath". The main force, the 88th and 89th divisions, were also defeated. The Red Army bit off several pieces of meat, and there were more than 3 people in the two divisions. When they finally retreated to Zhangjiakou, there were only more than 3000 people left.The worst situation was that the tank unit assigned to him by Chang Baldzi hardly played any role in this chaotic rout, and they were all thrown on the battlefield.

The reason why it didn't work is that all the tanks of the gun party's tank troops use tracks to drive from the train station to the front line-although the trucks in the convoy can fully carry the CV33 tanks on the march, but the tank transport vehicles Isn't it delicious to use it to transport your belongings?

From the initial support advance to the subsequent large retreat, these tanks also ran nearly [-] kilometers on the Shanxi road before and after, and then they started to have engine problems, broke down, and turned into dead turtles that could not move on the ground. being abandoned.

The reason for this is still related to Pan Hannian.

Because of his previous good performance, when he entered Jin this time, Tang Enbo asked Pan Hannian by name to recruit a convoy to deliver supplies for him, including the fuel needed for the tanks.

Therefore, according to the orders of the superiors, the underground party conscientiously completed the task of transporting supplies, and all supplies, ammunition, and fuel were in place in time.Even in the big retreat, the convoy is still very conscientious, giving priority to helping the officers of the Central Army transport their personal belongings. As for the more important shells, ammunition, who cares so much when they are running, of course they just throw them away. Lost.....

The only problem is that the fuel used to supply the tanks has been quietly mixed with a lot of brown sugar and other substances that will damage the engine. …

The tank used this kind of fuel fuel, and soon the engines were blocked and broke down during the long-distance march.

When the Battle of Shanxi finally ended, the remnants of Tang Enbo and Luo Zhuoying who had fled to Zhangjiakou had a combined strength of less than [-], and almost all their heavy equipment was lost.

But the battle wasn't over.

After the victory, the coalition forces of the Red Army and the Northeast Army continued to advance. They did not immediately attack the Central Army, which had temporarily stabilized its position in Zhangjiakou, but attacked eastward along the railway, aiming at Shijiazhuang.

On April 26, the combined forces of the Red Army and the Northeast Army captured Shijiazhuang, and on April 28, Baoding was also liberated.The rest of the Kuomintang who had withdrawn from Shanxi had no intention of resisting at all. Before the Red Army arrived, they got on the train together and continued to run.

At this time, all the units of the Central Army that had fled to Zhangjiakou, including Chang Kaishen himself, had transferred most of their main forces to the Pingjin area to join the 29th Army.

On the [-]th, Zhangjiakou, which had no soldiers, was also occupied by the Red Army.

And on the day that Chang Kaishen led his army out of Zhangjiakou in a panic, the second and fifth sons of the southern provinces also acted at the same time on this day.

Chen Jitang from Guangdong, Li and Bai from Guangxi took the lead, Liu Xiang from Sichuan responded, and the three voiced at the same time, announcing their separation from the Nanjing National Government and the establishment of the so-called Southern Anti-Japanese Coalition Regime, and then Hunan and Yunnan also responded happily.

What made Chang Kaishen vomit blood even more was that while the second and fifth sons of Guangdong and Guangxi were speaking out, they also sent troops to grab the territory together.

Guangxi Guangxi army sent troops to Hunan, while Chen Jitang of Guangdong marched by land and water to Fujian!

They want to regain lost ground!Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are interested in Hunan, and Chen Jitang is interested in Fujian.Because the main force was transferred to the north, Chang Kaishen's troops in the south were unprecedentedly empty.

While marching, they yelled for Chang Kaishen to step down. At the same time, they echoed with the Red Army and Zhang Yang in the north, expressing that they would form a new coalition government!

No more going around, use a sentence that everyone understands: Chang Kaishen resigns!It's time for a replacement!

The result of Chang Kaishen's exhaustion of the main force in Shanxi finally exploded fiercely at this moment!

The time came to May [-]th, and when Chang Kaishen was surrounded by enemies, the Red Army sent him a negotiation to stop the civil war and negotiate a comprehensive peace.

If there was no such foreign enemy as Japan, the Red Army would certainly not let go of chasing down the poor bandits at this best opportunity and completely defeating Chang Kaishen.

After all, at this time, in Shanxi, Yan Laoxi's army of more than 20 troops was still intact, and they were still guarding Taiyuan, Linfen, and Datong, becoming the biggest hidden danger.

And the war lasted from the end of March to the beginning of May.Although the Red Army has continued to win big militarily, this time has also reached the turning point of the so-called "offensive limit" in the military, and it is necessary to stop, rest and digest.

And during this period, Yan Laoxi, who was trapped in Taiyuan, was also dumbfounded when he saw that Chang Kaishen was so incompetent and easily defeated by the Red Army.His plan of killing three soldiers with two peaches has now been screwed up.

The Red Army, which stopped its offensive pace, began to carry out strategic contraction after May. The first thing to digest was the two stones in the belly of Taiyuan and Linfen.

At this time, Yan Xishan, who was already in a desperate situation, was finally forced to stand in line, openly expressing his willingness to negotiate with the Red Army, and "conditionally" joined the plan of establishing a coalition government proposed by the Red Army and Zhang Yang.

Lao Xi is willing to bow his head to negotiate and make concessions.The Red Army also understands that although they can take Taiyuan by force, this battle will definitely not be as easy as the northern mobile unit that severely damaged Chang Kaishen. , and the Japanese army outside the pass may enter the pass at any time to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China in advance, it is really no longer appropriate to fight in Shanxi.

During this period, the voices of the people demanding an armistice sounded again.

On May [-]th, Chang Kaishen, who was cornered by the pressure from the North and the South, succumbed...

No matter how desperately he tried to fight to the end, he couldn't do it now.

Zhejiang, Chang Kaishen's hometown.

In April, when Chang Kaishen suffered an unprecedented defeat in Shanxi.

The Suyu guerrillas located in southwestern Zhejiang, after a winter of rest and training, integrated the Red Army units in other parts of northeastern Fujian. At the end of April, they took the initiative to enter the outer line and launch the spring offensive.

The target of the attack was Longquan, which was closest to him.

Because of the northward transfer of the 11th Army, Chang Tuozi only released an [-]th division under the command of Huang Wei in southwest Zhejiang to command the suppression of bandits.

At this time, Huang Wei had no idea that Su Yu had received thousands of supplementary Liao 13 rifles and sufficient ammunition and shells two months ago. , The scale of the camp is arranged.

As a result, it naturally gave Su Yu a god-sent opportunity to defeat each of them.
