From to 1935 2020

If Chang Guang's mind can be clearer, he will find that there is actually a big flaw in this fake telegram: these grandsons who drink soldiers' blood, how could he easily reveal his flaws of "drinking soldiers' blood and eating nothing"? .

****

In the Scraping Democratic Party army, Hu Zongnan was not only from Huangpu, but even more. The "Jiangsu and Zhejiang" Whampoa Department has long been in the ranks of the "first-class central army".This gentleman's luck is even more amazing: during the war between Jiang, Feng, Yan, and Gui in the Central Plains, Hu Zongnan's troops faced Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. He originally thought it would be a bitter battle, but as soon as Song Ziwen's "silver coin bomb" came out, the opponents on the opposite side The Northwest Army surrendered without a fight, easily making Hu Zongnan's "famous general" the limelight-although they won with silver coin bombs, this fact is embarrassing, and it would definitely not be said in the propaganda, Song Ziwen can only be tragic As the "hero behind the scenes", Hu Zongnan took all the glory.

It is said that he is lucky because the organization of his department is the first division, which is easily misunderstood as "the number one in combat power".The first division goes to the first brigade, and the first brigade goes to the first regiment.Due to too many people bragging, even Chang Kaishen was affected, and they loved this famous general very much. In addition, the first division was originally the place where Chang Kaishen made his fortune. "Son" division, its treatment and equipment are naturally the best.

The emperor's close ministers, the emperor's guards, boasted too much, for a long time, and too much, often even believed in themselves, and then really claimed to be "the best in the world".

After the 49th Division was wiped out, it rained heavily in Baozuo area that night.

When the rainstorm happened, he had already arrived at Dajian Temple. Chairman Li Runshi looked at the downpour outside and worried that the road would be muddy due to the rainstorm. Wang Tianyuan and Wu Chengren, as well as the seriously injured 49th division electromechanical staff, all cooperated after being rescued, but this kind of telegram fishing is deceiving after all. I am a beginner and have little business experience, so I am still a little worried.

In fact, he worried too much, because the strongest spy had already arranged everything.

Li Tie, a squeamish first-class member of the Central Army, "the first brigade in the world", stopped advancing when the rainstorm occurred, and moved more slowly after the rainstorm. It took two full days to enter the ambush site set up by the Red Army.

The two-day delay has already allowed the Red Army's Ninth, No. 30, and No. 30 armies to walk out of the grassland. These were originally units of the Red Fourth Front Army, but the leader was replaced by Zeng Zhongsheng.After being rescued by the Central Red Army, Zeng Zhongsheng replaced the leadership of the Red Fourth Front Army usurped by Zhang Guotao.

At this time, Li Tiejun didn't know that his 5000 men were facing ten times as many "combatants" of the Red Army, and the opponent even cheated with an infantry tank.

Although the First Brigade of the "First Class Central Army" was Chang Kaishen's confidant, it was fully staffed, with more than 49 people.But the time of collapse and destruction is not much better than the [-]th Division of the "third class of the Central Army".

Compared with the 49th Division being feared by the Central Red Army in Fujian, they marched cautiously.Having been raised in the Northwest for many years, the "No. [-] Brigade in the World" who is used to beating people happily with "silver coin bombs" is completely "reckless" in marching and fighting.

Avant-garde reconnaissance, no!

Two-wing reconnaissance?is it necessary?We are fighting inside, how could we be ambushed?

When the gunfire of Yufu sounded and the "foreign dung" buried in advance blew up the officers and soldiers of the first brigade who were marching in the mountain road, Li Tiejun's thoughts at the time were:

"Aren't the communist bandits being blocked by friendly troops in reserved seats?"

Fighting in valleys is no better than fighting on plains.

When marching, they did not deploy the two wings for reconnaissance in advance, and let the opponent set up an ambush on both sides of the mountain road. After occupying all the advantages, they were trapped in the valley and were beaten. As long as the two ends were blocked, the end would be a death sentence!

The battle broke out at ten o'clock in the morning, and there was no "surprise" or novelty in the process.

When [-] troops passed through a valley, they were blocked at both ends and trapped in the center, and then gunshots rang out from all directions, and a large amount of "foreign dung" was buried in advance in several small highlands in the center of the valley. Go down and fry a slice.

There is no way to defend, and all retreats and advances are blocked.Then there was an M2A3 painted in beige desert paint that rushed out of the mountain road, relying on its invulnerability to penetrate the defense line of the first brigade in the world.....

By one o'clock in the afternoon, the "First Brigade in the World" had been wiped out.

Similar to the 49th Division who was completely cheated, the casualty rate of the First Under Heaven Brigade was only [-]%, and most of them surrendered directly.It also included Li Tiejun and the radio team of the First Brigade.

Throughout the battle, Li Tiejun's performance was worse than Wu Chengren's.

The only place where he had a bright spot was that before the entire army was wiped out, he finally had the opportunity to send an urgent telegram to Chief Hu Zongnan who was rushing from Songpan: Our army was attacked in a valley fifteen miles southwest of Baozuo. Surrounded by communist bandits, it is extremely critical...

The M3A [-] infantry fighting vehicle, carrying half a squad of elite Red Army commandos, followed by a company of Red Army soldiers charged, defeated his brigade guard company with "zero armor-piercing ability", and drove the tank to At the entrance of the brigade's temporary headquarters, his radio operator was still sending out telegrams dedicatedly.

The main content of the telegram is: Mr. Hu, for the sake of being at the same school in Whampoa for many years...

The content of the following telegram, because a large number of Red Army soldiers had killed nearby, shouted "Hand up your guns and don't kill", and stopped...

And "Officer Hu Zongnan" who received this telegram is now leading the second brigade of the first division, the independent brigade, and the supplementary brigade, three brigades, with a strength of more than 5000 people, leaving Songpan and rushing to Baozuo !

And they had been on the road for two days now!

Hu Zongnan's main force left Songpan's lair, but it was Li Runshi's good friend. Chang Kaishen owed him in his previous life, and in this life, he once again owed the former Kuomintang Propaganda Minister's salary of up to 720 yuan for half a year. He has always felt guilty and decided to Double the compensation here.

While the rain was falling, Chang Kaishen, a micromanager, looked at the map and listened to the advice of foreign military advisers around him. He soon found that there was a troop on the map that was very obtrusive: that was Hu Zongnan No. [-] Army in Songpan. The main force of the division!

There was a bloody battle here at Baozuo, and Wang Tianyuan and Wu Chengren sent telegrams for help one after another, all of which read: The Communist bandits are fighting a trapped beast, making a frenzied assault, and the corpses of our troops are piled up like a mountain...

The Red Army in Songpan was as large as its strength, and the chairman also had a number in mind at this time: about [-]—about [-] soldiers ready to fight.

Although the bandit army lacked ammunition and food, and their combat power was greatly reduced, after all, there were 10 soldiers, [-] soldiers!

How many people are seated here?

Wang Tianyuan reported: After joining forces, the strength of the two armies is only [-]!

Even with the addition of the first brigade on its way, it would not exceed [-].

Although at this time, all kinds of miscellaneous troops from other directions, after receiving the good news from the front line, also squeezed to the seats to help in the battle.However, the terrain in northern Sichuan is similar to that in northwestern Fujian, and in case of heavy rain, the mountain roads are even more difficult to navigate. Due to sparsely populated areas and difficulties in supplies, this group of miscellaneous troops marched "slowly like a snail".But at this time, as the main force of the First Division of the Central Army, which is the most powerful, it is still nestled in the "Songpan" front more than a hundred kilometers away, which is extremely annoying.

On the night when the 49th Division called to say that it would join forces with the Baozuo defenders, the Chairman of the Standing Committee, who had come to his senses, urgently called Hu Zongnan and immediately led the main force to leave Songpan and go north to support Baozuo. (The seat is located in the northeast of Songpan)

The main reason why Hu Zongnan held back his troops in Songpan before was because he was worried that the Red Army was divided into two armies to operate, and the reserved seats were only one way.

(This is the case in the original history. At that time, the Red Army was divided into the Left Army and the Right Army. The Battle of Baozuo in history was launched by the Right Army. After the battle, Zhang Guotao sent a telegram to let the original Hong Si in the Right Army The army went back along the grassland, which is the famous grassland division.)

In terms of strategic arrangement, Hu Zongnan's approach can also be regarded as quite satisfactory.And when the Baozuo battle broke out in this plane, the main force of the merged Red Army took the route of the right army in history.But there is one point that needs to be specifically stated: the former Left Route Army, the former Red Fourth Army's garrison, is not really completely empty at this time.Instead, Dong Zhentang's Fifth Army and Yu Tianyun's No.30 Army were placed in the Nansongpan area, pretending that the two Red Army groups were still "holding their troops" here, maintaining the false appearance of the confrontation between the two armies.

——This is an act of strategic deception that must be done.The reason is simple: the main force of the Red Army circumvented Songpan through the grassland, which was actually quite a risky military action, because it would take five days to go around the grassland!

And in these five days, once Hu Zongnan sees through the strategic intention in advance and shifts the main force in advance to strengthen the protection of the Baozuo area, the consequences can be imagined!

Therefore, before the launch of the Battle of Baozuo, two not weak troops must be kept active in the Red Army station in the south of Songpan to create the "false appearance" that the Red Army is still standing still.

And when Wang Tianyuan and Wu Chengren sent out "urgent telegrams" and "bloody battle against the Red Army" telegrams one after another, both Chang Kaishen and the foreign military advisers around him saw through the Red Army's garrison in the south of Songpan. The "fake" truth.

They guessed right!

As the "disguised" rearguard troops, Dong Zhentang's and Yu Tianyun's troops, the combined total strength of the two Red Army troops is actually just over [-]—but they are all field troops.

Chang Kaishen, who thought he had seen through the falsehood of the Red Army, immediately ordered Hu Zong's troops to send troops to the northeast to support Baozuo.

"Battle of reserved seats! Annihilate the Zhumao bandit army!"

This was the slogan that the Chairman of the Standing Committee published in the newspaper the next day after a little manipulation that night.

But at this time, the Sichuan army at Baizhangguan, which had been standing still, was semi-coerced by Xue Yue's army that had already arrived, and under the various threats and lures of the Standing Committee's leader, all the Sichuan troops and the Central Army finally left the pass and marched north. , Pressing towards the Nansongpan Red Army garrison.

When Li Tiejun's first brigade was completely wiped out, the south of Hu Zong had already gone north, and marched towards Baozuo for two days!

At this time, the Songpan garrison returned to the empty state before Hu Zongnan's arrival: at this time, there were only a bunch of Tibetan soldiers, chieftain soldiers, and the left-behind auxiliary soldiers of the First Division.Hu Zongnan originally planned to keep the newly formed supplementary brigade, but the Chairman of the Standing Committee, a good friend of Li Runshi, refused...

Songpan is empty!

Originally, Chairman Li Yunshi did not know this key information.He only regarded the annihilation of the first brigade as the last chance to squeeze Hu Zongnan's wool in this battle, and he was about to slap his ass and leave after he finished.

But his good friend felt that he was too sorry to only send wool.On that night of torrential rain, Hu Zongnan was slightly manipulated and asked his entire army to go north.

On the second day, a press conference was held for Chinese and foreign journalists, announcing that Hu Nannan had also gone northward, and that the entire army would support the camp.

"The Baozuo battle is about to start, and the Zhumao bandits will become the second Shi Dakai, and the entire army will be wiped out in Baozuo!"

"I have planned to send a plane to Songpan. Once the Zhumao bandits are captured, they will be airlifted to Chengdu immediately!"

At that time, there were nearly a hundred Chinese and foreign journalists gathered at the scene!

As soon as the chairman made a speech, the whole world knew it, so the Soviet Union also knew it. After Comrade Stalin knew it, he sent a telegram, and Chairman Li Yunshi also knew it...

Then, Dong Zhentang's department and Yu Tianyun's department located in the south of Songpan also found out...

As the strongest communist spy, Chang Kaishen was afraid that Li Runshi would mistakenly think that the notification of the military deployment to the world was "false information and deceit" and would not take it seriously, so he specially sent a message to Wang Tianyuan and Wu Chengren, who were "sticking to" their seats. Go to the telegram: Chief Hu has personally led the main force of the First Army to go north to support the seat!Victory is in sight, please persevere to the end, and after the two bandits Zhu and Mao are wiped out, I will give you the first credit!

In the telegram, he rewarded the two with a "wire transfer" of [-] silver dollars—but the two probably never had the guts to receive the money in their entire lives.

This is no wool, it's like sending sheep directly!And it is the kind that is delivered directly to the mouth!

The chairman of the committee reminded him so enthusiastically that Li Yunshi couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to!

****

“Songpan is empty!”

Dong Zhentang and Yu Tianyun, the two generals of Red One and Red Four who are best at fighting fierce and bloody battles, smiled at each other after receiving the telegram from the Central Red Army. They knew what to do when they made eye contact.

When Hu Zong's southern main force went north to support Baozuo, Dong Zhentang and Yu Tianyun's troops also ended their camouflage mission and joined forces to go north. The route they followed happened to be the route Huang Ke and Elena had taken when they went south, and the target was Songpan The seat of Hu Zongnan's headquarters in the county.

The chairman is eating mutton in the front, and the two of us, let's dig out the sheep's nest at the back!

-------------------- Chapter 70 really can only be voted for --------------------

In the artillery party army, the central army and the miscellaneous army, at the same division level, have great differences in organization.

The difference between the Central Army and the Central Army is equally large.

The ordinary "second-class" central army usually has a structure of one division and two brigades.

But to be really close to one's own family, the first-class Central Army, such as Chang Kaishen's first parent-child division, it would be unreasonable.

There are four brigades under the first division: the first brigade, the second brigade, the independent brigade, and the supplementary brigade that is being added and expanded.The total strength of the four brigades exceeds 2.Before the large-scale formation of German weapon divisions, it can almost be said to be the best equipped unit in the Central Army. ——Of course, good equipment does not mean strong combat effectiveness.A raging soldier, a raging nest.Chang Kaishen, the army raised by his "brother", how powerful is it?

So from the time of the Northern Expedition, this first division is just a piece of dough, with a great reputation, a lot of troops, strength, huh, huh.....

Hu Zongnan received the last telegram from the first brigade of his subordinates, and the time was exactly twelve o'clock at noon - when the Red Army started the war, it took only two hours to get Li Tiejun's brigade headquarters, and it took another hour to finish the final battle .

"The message is broken? My first brigade is finished? How is this possible!"

Chief Hu didn't speak, but at that moment, that's what he thought in his heart.

Huang Jie, the commander of the 2nd Brigade who was following Chief Hu, comforted him:

"Maybe the brigade headquarters was attacked and the radio station was damaged."

Then he added appropriately:

"This is more than 5000 people! Even if it is [-] pigs, if they are released to the Communist bandits, they will not be able to catch them in two hours!"

Although he is a colleague, Huang Jie, the commander of the second brigade, is very unhappy with Li Tiejun, the commander of the "No. [-] Brigade in the World".What kind of virtue is this guy? Huang Jie has been with him for many years and knows him very well.

He chose a good name: Li Tiejun——Tiejun Tiejun, in fact, it should be called Li Caobao.

The unit with a "good name": the first division and the first brigade, and then under the hypnosis of the whole world and my own self-praise, I really thought that I was the "first brigade in the world".

On the surface, he was consoling, but in fact he was beating around the bush and scolding Li Tiejun.

However, these words had an unexpected effect at this time. Hu Zongnan felt that it made sense. Even if the first brigade was ambushed, it would not be finished so quickly.

There are quite a few communists, but after so many days of bloody battles, how many bullets do they still have?The number of people in the first brigade is a little small, but the soldiers are well-equipped. Even if the terrain is unfavorable, if you form a group of hedgehogs to defend, those poor ghosts who can only charge with bayonets after a few bullets can take his guns within two hours. brigade?This is absolutely impossible!

But what happened to his ugly telegrams for help, like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, one after another?

That Li straw bag, in the telegram, even shouted that the bandit army dispatched armored vehicles and was invulnerable?It's a shame for the Central Army!

In fact, at this time, Chief Hu Zongnan had also decided that this Li Tiejun was really an idiot!

"Master, you know it. Brigadier Li, he just..."

Huang Jie said a word, then paused, feeling that the words should not be too explicit, reorganized the language, and then said: "The bandit army has been attacking the empty seat for a long time, and saw our army come to help. Under the battle of the trapped beast, we are about to Before being in despair, they went mad at the end. The reserved seats occupied a favorable location, and they couldn’t move them. Just when Brigadier Li’s troops arrived, the communist bandits must have played a siege. He was blindsided by the crazy charge. So the telegram is a bit exaggerated, armored vehicles that are invulnerable? This is northern Sichuan, and there are mountains everywhere. Even if the Communists really have armored vehicles, how did they drive in..."

Makes sense!
