Chapter 82 Annihilate the three county defense regiments

In August 1932, under the scorching heat, when the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army led by Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhidan moved to more than ten counties, fought against powerful enemies who “encircled and suppressed” our army, and won more than ten victories. With the success of the Xihuachi Uprising, this gave the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas who had been in trouble a chance to take a break. At this time, Li Gen, the representative of "Left" putschism, appeared.He was appointed political commissar of the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas.As soon as Shuang Gen took office, he mistakenly dismissed Liu Zhidan as commander-in-chief, and labeled Comrade Liu Zhidan as "escapeism" and "Shaoshanism". He first unrealistically believed that the revolutionary climax was coming.Let the Red Army divide the land in Wuqingyuan, a small village in Qiutouyuan at the northern end of Zhengning County, and appoint Yan Hongyan as the new commander-in-chief, and mistakenly order the Red Army guerrillas to attack the particularly fortified Wanglangpo stockade, causing heavy casualties to our army.After the defeat in the battle, he insisted on the adventurist slogan of "don't let the enemy's iron hooves step into the five hectares of land", and forced the Red Army to fight "plain warfare" and "positional warfare". Surrounded by an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment.The war was badly lost.Many soldiers from the Xihuachi Uprising fled, and the Red Army guerrillas fell into a very difficult situation. The guerrillas had to retreat to the Zhaojin area where the enemy's defenses were relatively weak.

In early September, the reactionary Kuomintang authorities intensified their "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Red Army's Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas.The Ninety-seventh and Ninety-eighth Regiments of the Longdong Garrison of the enemy Gansu Army Lu Dachang chased our Red Army guerrillas from Zhengning and the northwest to kiss; The Sun Youren Department of the May 11th Regiment approached from east to north with Tongchuan as the center; at the same time, it also ordered the three counties of Fuping, Tongguan, and Yaoxian to set up defense regiments with Hu Jingquan as the commander in chief and Dang Shufang as the vice president. Command the "bandit" headquarters to attack from the south to the area where our Red Army guerrillas are active.At the same time, the enemy further armed militia groups in Liulin, Miaowan and other places in an attempt to wipe out our army in the Zhaojin area in one fell swoop.

At this critical juncture, the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Xie Zichang back to the army.At the same time, Li Jiefu was appointed political commissar.According to the Golden Willow Ping.People's homes.Temporary command post.Xie Zichang, Liu Zhidan, Yan Hongyan and other Red Army generals were smoking choking dry tobacco, and the room was filled with smog and the atmosphere was solemn. "'Left' opportunism has once again harmed our troops." Liu Zhidan exhaled a thick smoke and said with deep feeling. "The enemy is attacking us fiercely from all directions, and they want to kill us here," Yan Hongyan, who was originally a tall man, was also exhausted and worried at this time.Taking another puff of dry tobacco and flicking off the embers, Xie Zichang glanced around everyone keenly, and then said firmly: "Our troops have suffered a lot at the moment. From the Qingjian Uprising and the Weihua Uprising to the , The harm of 'Left'ism has been following our armed forces like a ghost, and sometimes the losses caused are even more painful than the siege of a powerful enemy." At this time, Xie Zichang glanced at Li Jiefu, the political commissar with a strange expression, He went on to say: "We must strengthen our confidence. Every time we fall into a difficult situation, don't we survive it?"

Looking at Xie Zichang's determined eyes, Liu Zhidan also said firmly: "In the face of difficulties, the important thing is that we must establish the confidence and determination to overcome the difficulties, and we must have some revolutionary optimism at critical moments. All brigades must rectify their personnel and timely Take a rest and meet bigger and more difficult challenges with fuller enthusiasm." Although Li Jiefu was very disapproving of Xie Zichang's views on the 'Left', but seeing the current difficult situation of the troops, he just snorted to express his agreement.

After listening to the earnest words of several generals, the impetuous mood of the Red Army soldiers gradually calmed down.The commanders and fighters took a short rest and refreshment on Yangliuping, a protruding and condescending flat.All commanders and fighters have been educated in firm beliefs, and those unsettled elements with loose discipline have been eliminated.The appearance of the guerrillas has changed a lot.Subsequently, the troops set out to Zhaojin, which has a relatively good mass base.In Zhaojin, the Red Army carried out several small-scale food distribution struggles, and put up slogans and slogans to publicize revolutionary principles, and many people joined the Red Army ranks.

Early morning of September 12th.In the early autumn, Zhaojin Town has revealed a burst of coolness.Old Ji's house in the center of the street.Xie Zichang, Liu Zhidan, Yan Hongyan, Huang Ziwen and other army leaders were facing the map, studying the next battle plan and strategic deployment. Li Miaozhai suddenly walked in and said to several army leaders: "Last night, Zheng Qiqin kissed a suspicious man in his shop. Old Zheng saw him sneaking around, so he stabilized him in time, and I interrogated him immediately. He confessed that he had contacted Zhang Yanning, who was hiding in Hougou Village. The enemy's three-county security regiment was commanded by the deputy commander-in-chief Dang Xiefang, Ma Xizhe, the head of the Yaoxian Security Regiment, and the leader of the Xiaoqiu District Regiment, about 300 people, were marching from the Sipo area to Zhaojin early in the morning. The Hougou stockade is about to move around, delusional to cooperate with the outside and attack us."

"In the northwest, there are the 97th and 98th regiments of the Long Army's security guards chasing them, and the three county defense regiments in the south are aggressively attacking. Our army may consider moving to the Qiaoshan mountain range so that we can jump out of the siege." Yan Hongyan first said. expressed his opinion. "It's the 'Yushan Doctrine' again!" The "Left" leaning Jeff Li was the first to shout. "Relying on the siege of the Long army in the northwest, the security regiment expected that we would not dare to retreat to the northwest, so we could resort to tricks and pretend to retreat to the northwest. In this way, the enemy will be fooled." Zhidan said thoughtfully.

"Hongyan's idea is also a way of marching, but I am more inclined to Zhidan's opinion. We can discard some objects to give the enemy the illusion of being defeated and fleeing. In this way, after the enemy takes Zhaojin lightly, , it will produce a numb mentality, thinking that we will be attacked by the Long army, so that the mayor will be all vigilant. If we kill him at the right time and return the carbine, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Xie Zichang concluded. With the enemy at hand, Jeff, who has always been "left", also made a 180-degree turn in his attitude, expressing his agreement.The guerrilla's plan of action was immediately determined.

Xie Zichang, Liu Zhidan and others made detailed and careful arrangements for the army's action plan.Immediately ordered troops lost some supplies and quickly moved to the Jianban area in the northwest of Zhaojin.The same elbow ordered Shuang Miaozhai and Zheng Qiqin to try to disclose the news of the Red Army's defeat to Zhang Yanning's militia entrenched in Hougou Village in order to confuse the enemy.While retreating, our army set up secret sentries in places such as Xiliang and Yehugou to monitor the enemy's movements at any time. When the enemy's three-county security regiment arrived at Zhaojin in the afternoon, they saw the Red Army guerrillas throwing their helmets and running away, and they were really fooled.Seeing the defeat of the Red Army, Zhang Yanning was also very proud.In order to do the best for the landlord, Zhang Yanning ran back and forth for the three-county security regiment, showing great hospitality.In his lair, Siping and Buntan feast three county guards.These reactionary henchmen thought they had driven out the Red Army, and they could do evil.They frequently persuaded them to drink at the banquet, and they were obsequious to Dang Xie Fang, Chai Zifa, Ma Xizhe and others, and tried their best to curry favor.After drinking and eating, Zhang Yanning arranged women for the three leaders of the enemy army, and all the regiment members were arranged in his old house. The enemy was defenseless, not even a warning.Just fell asleep in a daze.

At midnight that night, Zheng Qilai sent accurate information on the number of enemy troops and the location of the camp.Everything went according to plan, and Xie Zichang and Liu Zhidan were very happy.The Red Army guerrillas hiding in the Jianping area quickly retreated, and with lightning speed, they came out to watch in the Zhaojinsiping and Tomb Beach area without anyone noticing.At dawn the next day, the sleeping enemy didn't know what was going on, and he became a turtle in a urn.Our Red Army guerrillas wiped out the enemy's three county defense regiments in one fell swoop, seized three to four hundred long and short guns, killed the enemy's deputy commander-in-chief Dang Xie Fang, and captured Ma Xizhe, Zi Zifa and others alive.Regrettably, Zhang Yanning, a cunning and habitual bandit, was very vigilant, escaped under the eyes of the Red Army again, and retreated to the stockade in Hougou, avoiding the punishment of the people.

Facing the pressure of a strong enemy.The Red Army guerrillas did not dare to love to fight, so they moved to Anziwa in the west.When entering the depths of the Qiaoshan Mountains, we were preparing for a little rest, but ended up being attacked by the He Quansheng Department of Yang Hucheng Department stationed in Chunhua. The guerrillas fought fiercely with the enemy until dark before retreating to the Liujiadian area.at this time.The Ninety-eighth Garrison Regiment of the Gan Army attacked the relatives from the front again, and the various units of the Red Army guerrillas retreated with each other, and it was not until the Malan that they got rid of the enemy. Xie Zichang and Liu Zhidan relied on their superb command skills to strategize and make decisive decisions.With a flexible and flexible strategic battle belt, he led the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Red Army to wipe out the three county defense regiments of Futongyao and achieved a major victory under special circumstances.It greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of our Red Army, once again demonstrated the strategy and combat effectiveness of the Red Army in the Zhaojin area, and greatly encouraged the revolutionary fighting spirit of the people in the Zhaojin area.
