Sidu Chishui in the Long March of the Red Army

Cross Chishui, mobilize Tashi and stand by and destroy the enemy.

193565438+1October19. The Central Red Army started from Zunyi area and marched into southern Sichuan in three ways. The right-wing 1 Legion contained the enemies of Qijiang and Hejiang, set out from Songkan and advanced to Chishui through warm water and Xishui. The fifth and ninth army corps and the column of the Military Commission set out from Zunyi and Loushanguan, and attacked the enemy of Xishui and Tucheng through the customs. On the left, the Red 3 Army started from the lazy bench, quickly got rid of the enemy of rear-end collision and side attack, and headed for Tucheng. On 26th, Red 1 Army entered Wanglongchang and Fuxing fields along Chishui River, defeated two brigades of Sichuan Army, and advanced southward along Chishui River. With the cooperation of the Red Army Corps (1), the Red Third and Red Fifth Army Corps defeated the pursuit and interception of the two divisions of the Guizhou Army's Defending Dan Division and the Sichuan Army's Guo Xunqi Division near Tucheng. Then, on the 29th, our army crossed Chishui River westward through Tucheng and Yuanhouchang. In early February, I went to Xuyong and Gu Lin in southern Sichuan, and prepared a camera to cross the Jinsha River from the upper reaches of Yibin to the north. At this time, Zhang resisted the central command on the pretext that Jialing River was "wide and deep, and heavily defended". He didn't lead the Red Fourth Army south to attract the Sichuan enemy, but went north to attack southern Shaanxi, so that the Sichuan Army had no worries and was able to concentrate on stopping us from advancing northward. To the south, the two enemy columns of Guizhou Army Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan and Wang Jialie Department moved from south to north to pursue our army; The four brigades of Sun Du Department of Yunnan Army also rapidly advanced to Bijie, Zhenxiong and other places.

In view of the above-mentioned new situation, Mao Zedong and others decided to suspend the plan of crossing the Yangtze River in the north, and instead headed for Zhaxi, an open area fortified by the enemy on the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan border. They completed the reorganization and streamlining of the troops in a short time, greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness, and created good conditions for standby enemy annihilation.

Second crossing Chishui, returning to Zunyi, a large number of body count.

When our army entered Tashi area, the enemy still judged that I would cross the Yangtze River in the north. In addition to sending more troops to the main ferry in Yibin section, the Pan Wenhua Department of Yunnan Army and Sichuan Army was also deployed to approach Zhaxi area in an attempt to join forces with us.

In view of the fact that most of the enemy's main forces have been attracted by me to the Sichuan-Yunnan border and the troops in northern Guizhou are empty, our army decided to take it by surprise and retreat to Guizhou. The first 1 regiment of our army rushed to Erlang beach, successfully covered the troops crossing Chishui River in Taipingdu and Erlang beach for the second time from February 18 to 20, and continued to advance in the direction of Tongzi and Zunyi. 24 occupied Tongzi. Occupied Loushanguan on the 25th night. On the 27th, he defeated three enemy regiments in Donggong Temple, and captured Zunyi City again on the morning of 28th. At noon that day, after I invaded Laoya Mountain, Honghuagang and Zhongzhuangpu in the south of the city, I contacted two divisions of Wu Qiwei Column in Zunyi. I took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch an attack. After repeated battles, most of the enemy troops were annihilated, and Wu Qiwei led the remnants to try to escape from Wujiang River. Except for a few people who followed him across the river, the remaining 1800 people and a large number of weapons that haven't crossed the river have been captured by me. The battle in Zunyi area lasted for five days, defeated and annihilated eight regiments of two enemy divisions and captured more than 3,000 enemies. This is the biggest victory since the strategic shift of the Central Red Army, which greatly boosted morale and dealt a blow to the enemy's reactionary arrogance.

Chishui, the third capital and the fourth capital, broke through the natural barrier of Wujiang River to the south and mobilized to get rid of the enemy.

After our army won in Zunyi, Chiang Kai-shek rushed to Chongqing on March 2 to personally command the Red Army's siege, in an attempt to adopt the tactics of combining fortress doctrine with key offensive, defend the south and attack the north, and panic in the narrow areas of Zunyi and Yaxi. In order to crush the enemy's new siege, our army will follow suit and wander around Zunyi in disguise to lure the enemy into our army and then turn to the northwest to seek new maneuvers. At the same time, the Red 3 Army pretended to attack the southwest Jinsha, mobilized the enemy Hunyuan in the south and Wu Qiwei in the west, and then transferred troops to attack Lubanchang to defend the enemy. This action of our army really mobilized the enemy. When the enemy's Wu Qiwei army crossed the Wujiang River in the north and the Yunnan army's Sun Du army approached our army, on March 1 1, our army suddenly turned to the north, occupied Renhuai on June 15, crossed Chishui River for the third time from Maotai on June 16, and then re-entered southern Sichuan. The enemy mistakenly thought that our army was going north to cross the river again, so they quickly adjusted their deployment and pressed our army to the south of Sichuan, in an attempt to form an encirclement for me again and gather our army on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

In order to further create the illusion and surprise attack of the enemy, on March 2 1 day, I disguised myself as the main force with 1 regiment, and continued to advance in the direction of Gu Lin and Xuyong in southern Sichuan, leading the enemy to the west. My main force moved eastward quickly. On the 22nd, I crossed Chishui River for the fourth time and returned to Guizhou again. On the 28th, the Red Army crossed the enemy bunker blockade line between Yaxi and Fengxiangba and reached the north bank of Wujiang River. On the night of 29th, our vanguard group 1 platoon reached the other side by bamboo raft in thunderstorm, and successfully captured the ferry. By 3 1, except for the Red 9 Army, which continued to contain the enemy on the north bank of the Wujiang River, the main force of the Red Army crossed the Wujiang River south, deftly escaping from the encirclement of the enemy.

Cross the Jinsha River and March northward. After crossing the Wujiang River in the south, our army opened up the prospect of marching into Yunnan and crossing the Jinsha River in the north into Sichuan. However, there are several brigades of Yunnan troops on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou, which is not conducive to our army's northward advance. When Mao Zedong deployed our army, he pointed out: As long as the Yunnan army can be transferred, it is victory. In order to achieve this strategic goal, our army adopted the tactics of introducing from the east to the west. At first, some troops pretended to move in the direction of Weng 'an and Ping Huang in eastern Guizhou, pretending to leave Hunan to join the Red Second and Red Sixth Army Corps in the east, and the main force went straight to Guiyang after Xifeng and Zazuo. At this point, Chiang Kai-shek has arrived in Guiyang from Chongqing. At that time, there were only four regiments in Guiyang and its suburbs. Chiang Kai-shek felt that the garrison was empty. He was afraid that I would take advantage of my weakness to capture Guiyang, and that I would move eastward to Hunan to join forces with the Red Army and the Sixth Army. So Long Yun's main three brigades were urgently dispatched to reinforce Guiyang, and Xue Yue Corps and the key department of Xiang Army were stationed at the border of Sichuan, Guizhou and Hunan. On April 9th, when the main force of Yunnan Army had all moved eastward, our Red Army/KLOC-0 Army suddenly pretended to attack Longli Town in southeast Guiyang, bluffing and confusing the enemy. However, our main force suddenly crossed the enemy line between Guiyang and Longli, marched into Yunnan, where the enemy was empty, at a speed of 120 Li every day, and crossed Beipanjiang on June 15. Chiang Kai-shek was shocked by our army's rapid westward advance. He dispatched two columns of Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan, three divisions of Xiang Army and one department of Yunnan Army to pursue me along the Guizhou-Yunnan Highway. At the same time, the Red 9 Army Corps, which I left behind to the north of Wujiang River, has also entered the vicinity of Qianxi Shuicheng after successfully completing the containment task.

In late April, when our army threatened the gates of Kunming, the enemy troops from all walks of life were still more than three days away from me. So our army occupied Yangcun and pretended to attack Kunming. The main force is advancing to the Jinsha River in the northwest. The Red 1 Legion was captured by Wuding and Yuanmou. The Red 3 Legion captured the Red Gate Crossing through Malutang; The column of the Central Military Commission and the Red 5 Army Corps went to Jiaopingdu via Longtan. On the evening of May 3, a cadre regiment of its advance team successfully sneaked into Jiaopingdu, annihilated the enemy on the other side, defeated the reinforcements of the two regiments of Sichuan Army, captured more than 600 people and took control of the ferry. Due to the wide area of Longjie River crossing and the harassment of enemy planes, the Hong Men River crossing is rough, which is not conducive to my crossing. The Central Military Commission decided that the Red 13 Corps only used seven small wooden boats to cross the river from May 3 to 9, except that the Red 1 3 Corps crossed the river at Hongmen. On May 4th and 5th, the Red 9 Army Corps on North Road also crossed the Jinsha River near Qiaojia in the northwest of Huize. At this point, the Central Red Army got rid of the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops, so that all the enemies of the tail chase were thrown to the south of Jinsha River by me, which completely shattered Chiang Kai-shek's arrogant plan to encircle the Central Red Army in the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan border region, realized the strategic intention of crossing the river to the north, and achieved a decisive and significant victory in the strategic shift.
