Not long after Mr. Peng's telegram was sent, Guo Zhuocheng's reply arrived.

The speed of this call back surprised Mr. Peng and the others again, as if Guo Zhuocheng was sitting next to the telegraph.

After reading Guo Shucheng's reply, Mr. Peng silently handed the telegram to Mao Rundong.

Mao Rundong glanced at it roughly, but quickly took a serious look: "Leader of the Red Third Army: Our team's morale is currently high, and the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, which is enough to deal a fatal blow to the attacking troops of the Gui Army. The soldiers and I believe that as long as we keep in mind Chairman Mao's 16-character guerrilla strategy and as long as we flexibly apply Chairman Mao's war strategy, we will certainly be able to win this breakthrough battle.

Now we have detected that the main force of the 44th Division of the enemy's Gui Army has stopped the pursuit, and the Red Army, which is retreating to the ferry, has turned to attack us, in an attempt to destroy our team, and then clear the area east of the Xiang River. We have initially achieved our goal of mobilizing the enemy and relieving the pressure on the main Red Army, and we believe that in the future we will also be able to achieve our goal of hurting the enemy and making the enemy dare not pursue us lightly.

In addition, most of the soldiers of our team were converted from the prisoners of the Gui army, and their thinking was not yet unified, and many soldiers were watching and hesitating. ……”

After reading the telegram, Mao Rundong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Tempering the troops in the war, uniting the people's hearts in the war, and taking the rank of general in the million-dollar army, this young man really thinks what others dare not think of, and does what others dare not do." has courage and knowledge, and has the shadow of your President Peng. ”

He firmly remembered the three words "Guo Zhuocheng" in his heart. At this moment, Guo Zhuocheng's admiration for him moved him more than any words, and he also felt his weight in the hearts of ordinary soldiers.

Mr. Peng took the telegram and handed it to Mr. Zhu, and said: "Hey, even an ordinary soldier has this kind of insight, why are some of our leaders who drink foreign ink so stubborn and old-fashioned?" ......, I really want to know how the 1,000 rabble in his consular district dealt with a jīng sharp division of the Gui Army. ”

Mr. Zhu glanced at the telegram, did not look at it carefully, but said: "Let Lao Mao command the whole army, this is the desire of the army and the people." ......, ladies and gentlemen, I think that the question of how we should proceed must be reconvened and studied again, and the opinions of more comrades must be absorbed. Otherwise, if we continue to let a foreign adviser toss around like this, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Wang Jiaxiang said a little weakly: "But there are people who support it, and it's really difficult for a few of us to do something......

……

Guo Zhuocheng, who was in Matouling, did not know that there were so many bigwigs staring at him, and he wrote about the strategy and tactics of Chairman Mao, not to pat Chairman Mao's sycophants, but to feel it, and he also knew that Zhōngyāng was about to convene a Liping Conference to discuss the future march route of the Zhōngyāng Red Army, and he wanted to add another weight to Chairman Mao's correct proposition.

Historically, there was a lot of bickering at this meeting, and there were endless arguments on both sides about whether to change the original plan for the rendezvous with the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, and in the end it was Zhou Luolai who firmly supported the proposal proposed by Chairman Mao at great risk, which put the Red Army on the right path.

Guo Zhuocheng knew the trend of history, and it had little to do with whether he added weight or not, but he still couldn't help but do it, maybe in this way, the bigwigs would be able to end the quarrel earlier, make up their minds earlier, and reduce the losses of the Red Army even more.

Every second now is precious, and it is related to the lives of many fighters.

Guo Zhuocheng believes that since he has traveled to this era, he should think about how to protect the Red Army soldiers more and leave more precious seeds for China. The Red Army is the jīng Ying of the entire Chinese nation and the most powerful driving force for China's development. Every time a soldier is saved, there will be more hope for China's fate, and there will be more strength for the aggressors in the future.

According to history, the Zhōngyāng Red Army was sharply reduced from more than 80,000 to 30,000, losing more than half, which really made Guo Zhuocheng feel heartache. If you can save ten thousand, or even thousands, even a few hundred soldiers, it is a great thing.

He has this self-confidence, and he has also completed the possibility of saving zài.

These Red Army soldiers under his command have all died in history, and aren't they alive and well now? Aren't they all still jīng warriors?

Even if the Red Eighth Army is a unit that only has a showmanship and no combat effectiveness, the Red Army soldiers in it will become brave and tenacious in the future after the baptism of blood, and they can also become a strong army and an iron army, not to mention the Red 34th Division, which is originally an iron army.

With them, Guo Zhuocheng will be able to gallop to his heart's content on the battlefield in the future, and he can lead these soldiers to beat the devils to the point of crying wolves.

According to the confession of the captured Gui Jun's dispatcher, and with Sheng Guozhen's superb technical means and good professional knowledge, he cracked the Gui Jun's communication code in a short time. At present, the compilation of communication ciphers is very simple, that is, the telegram code is composed of a number added by the supervisor at any time. According to the people of this era, because this number of additions is randomly set by the leader, the enemy does not know about it at all, and naturally it cannot be cracked.

If it is only by relying on the technology of this era, it is indeed difficult to crack it quickly, maybe when the enemy cracks it, the number of additions has been changed here, but for Sheng Guozhen who has crossed over, it is simply a problem for a primary school student to a college student, and it is not difficult for him at all, not to mention the help of Gui Jun's dispatcher. In fact, at this time, the Red Army had repeatedly cracked the code of the Kuomintang-Party army, and knew about the movement of the Zhōngyāng Army many times in advance.

Guo Zhuocheng was Tongguò Sheng Guozhen learned from listening to the Gui army's communications that the Gui army was so angry that he sent the 44th Division, a sharp force, to destroy the sudden appearance of the Red Army.

Both the commander of the main Red Army and the commander of the Gui Army were very surprised by the appearance of Guo Zhuocheng's army, as if it appeared out of thin air, there was no trace of it yesterday or even this morning, why did it suddenly appear now, and also wiped out one of their main forces?

Until now, no one knows how many people there are in this team and how many weapons there are. In the end, it was Xia Wei, the commander of the 15th Army of the Gui Army, who ordered his men to gather information everywhere, and only then did he learn a clue from his 45th Division: the 217th Battalion of their 134th Regiment was defeated by the dying Red Army when they were chasing an escaped Red Army company. The 24th Division also reported that one of their baggage detachments, including one company of escorts, was missing and was likely to have been captured by the Red Army.

A company that was scattered actually annihilated a battalion under his command and took away a baggage team, the army commander Xia Wei was naturally furious, but he thought that there could not be many people in this army, even if they captured the 217th battalion and captured all the baggage teams into their soldiers, the number would not exceed one battalion. The only concern is that they are well armed.

This estimate is also consistent with the reports of soldiers who escaped from the Gulingtou battlefield: they rushed out of the artillery position about a company of troops, but they were well armed and fierce, with more than 20 machine guns.

Xia Wei thought that this force should not be underestimated, although the number was only the size of a battalion, but they had sufficient weapons and artillery to rely on, plus the Red Army that held Gulingtou was also joined, plus the captured artillery and artillery defense company, it was likely that a regiment of men and horses could be gathered.

To ensure that they could be eliminated, Xia Wei decided to send a main division, killing chickens with a knife, and must remove this cancer that grew in Gui Jun's body.

When he reported this plan and his speculation to Bai Chongxi, the commander of the Gui army, Bai Chongxi was also surprised by this enemy army that appeared out of thin air, and quickly approved Xia Wei's battle plan, and agreed with Xia Wei's idea of killing chickens with a knife and giving the opponent a thunderous blow.

By the time of the battle, the Gui army could be said to have achieved most of its strategic objectives, not only blocking the Red Army from Guangxi, bankrupting Jiang Jiaoshi's small abacus of "driving the Red Army into Guangxi-West", but also bankrupting his plan to "follow the Red Army into Guangzhou-West".

Now that the main force of the Red Army has entered the territory of Hunan, whether the Red Army stays in Hunan, or whether it enters Guizhou and Sichuan, it has nothing to do with Guangxi.

In this case, it is no longer the most urgent task for the Gui army, which regards Guangxi as its own territory, to catch up with the Red Army, and it is the most important thing to clear the remnants of the Red Army in Guangxi, and it must not cause chaos at the last moment, and must not give Jiang Jiaoshi an excuse because this small group of Red Army is making trouble here, saying that the Gui Army is unable to solve the internal hidden dangers, so it sends the Zōngyāng Army to assist.

Bai Chongxi, who was regarded as "Little Zhuge ", not only completely agreed with Commander Xia Wei's battle plan, but also mobilized six planes to help the 44th Division, planning to annihilate this force in five hours. For this reason, Bai Chongxi also issued a military order to kill the Red Army in this place.

I heard that the Red Army on Matouling only had a rabble of about a battalion in size, and Wang Zanbin, the commander of the 44th Division, was very unhappy, you must know that he was attacking the Red Army now when it was extremely cool, and those main Red Army troops who had not yet had time to cross the river were so frightened that they were desperately fleeing because they were worried that the ferry would be occupied, and they had no power to resist at all.

In the eyes of Wang Zanbin and other generals of the Gui Army, the Red Army, especially the Red Army that fell into the encirclement, was all gold and silver. As long as these tall and strong Red Eighth Army captives are handed over, they can receive a lot of bounties from Jiang Yaoshi, and they can also receive better and more weapons and equipment. Who wants to gnaw on this bone without oil and water? Moreover, this unit also captured an artillery battalion on its own side, and if they bombarded a few cannons and smashed them on the heads of their own troops, it would be a big loss.
