Chapter 1524: The Chairman Asks
Because the Central Plains region was now in a mixed battle, Yan Xishan, with the help of Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang, went into battle shirtless and fought with Jiang Jiaoshi and gained the upper hand, but it was not said that Yan Xishan was in charge, and the central army stationed in Yichang disobeyed the military orders of the Yan-Xishan government, and except for the military salaries and weapons and ammunition, they were quite active, and the other orders of the Yan-Xishan government were not obeyed, and their radio stations were basically only in contact with Jiang Jieshi in Hong Kong.
Waiting for Lin Zong's First Army to suddenly appear, they did not ask for help from the Nanjing government in Yan Xishan, but from Jiang Jieshi in Hong Kong.
The question is, how can poor Jiang Yaoshi have troops to save them? Although he still nominally controls some troops, he is simply out of reach because of the distance. Coupled with Yan-Xishan's coercion and temptation, many troops had long listened to Jiang Jieshi's propaganda and did not listen to it, and some troops simply profited on both sides, constantly comparing Jiang Jieshi's and Yan-Xishan's conditions, and whoever gave them good conditions would follow him, and it was not at all the high-profile that they sang in their mouths to follow Jiang Jieshi.
After receiving the telegram from the defenders of Yi-Chang, Jiang Jiaoshi, who knew it, only lamented a few words in his apartment in Hong Kong, and then replied with a few words of encouragement, and then asked them to retreat immediately, get out of the way, and it was best to lead the Red Army to attack He-Nan, where the heavy troops of Yan-Xishan were located!
Because Jiang Yaoshi, with the experience accumulated in his many years of military career, quickly judged that the Red Army's trip to the mountains this time would definitely not be a petty fight, nor did it come to grab grain and divide territory, but because of the current chaotic domestic situation, knowing that now Yan Xishan was fighting with himself and came to fish in troubled waters, and he came to seize the world.
Yi-Chang is also good. Lake-North is also good. I can't fill the appetite of the Red Army. Instead of fighting meaninglessly with the Red Army here, and instead of being a thug for Yan Xishan, the Central Army stationed in Yichang might as well run away and run far away to preserve its strength and wait for the opportunity.
Jiang Yaoshi is also a hero, not really stupid, he knows that now it is the turn of the Red Army to fight with Yan Xishan, and now the biggest enemy of the Red Army is no longer his Jiang Jiashi and his Central Army, but the Jin Army, the Northeast Army, and the Northwest Army of Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, and Feng Yuxiang. He, Jiang Jieshi, and his Central Army, could finally sit next to the play and watch the play.
This can be regarded as a ray of solace in sorrow. By the time they are exhausted, I, Jiang, may still have a chance to pick peaches.
However, since Mr. Lin has made a move, how can this army, which is already rootless, escape? If they are allowed to run away to watch the play, then he Lin Biao will not be Lin Biao, and he will not have to mix in the army in the future, and he will take the initiative to send a report to his superiors to ask him to go home and hold his mother-in-law and child.
The newly equipped troops under his leadership had long been shouting that they were going to fight and make meritorious contributions, and before they arrived in Yichang, they had already calculated how to surround and annihilate the remnants of Jiang Jieshi's troops.
With the help of special operations forces, the First Army sent a small elite force to the lower reaches of Yi-Chang on the Zhijiang River before the battle, and took advantage of the terrain and rivers there to establish blocking positions.
When Jiang Jiaoshi ordered the Central Army stationed in Yichang to retreat. The Red 1st Army pursued quickly in the rear and soon bit the tail of the Central Army. The troops blocking Zhijiang also appeared before the arrival of the Central Army, surrounded and occupied Zhijiang Town, and then dug trenches and built fortifications.
Therefore, when the retreating vanguard of the Central Army arrived at Zhijiang Town, they were dumbfounded, shouting that it was impossible, how could the Red Army arrive before them, could it be that they flew from the sky, and at the same time quickly reported the situation to the superiors behind.
There is a saying in the military called "return to the army without restraint", which means that if you encounter troops who are eager to go home, do not stop them, for fear that they will desperately try to go home.
But now it is clear that this situation cannot be left unstoppable, and allowing them to escape is not in keeping with the situation of the Central Army or the thinking of the Red Army. Now the Central Army has no home at all, just a lost dog. And the Red Army had great firepower, great combat effectiveness, and was not afraid of the enemy's desperate efforts at all.
The commander of the Central Army ordered the forward troops to attack once, and seeing that the Red Army was fierce, it was not at all possible for them to rush away, and after lamenting, he sent a farewell message to Jiang Jiaoshi, and then ordered surrender.
Jiang Yaoshi has long had no confidence in this kind of army without a father and mother, and he didn't feel any sadness when he received this farewell message, but sneered a few times: "Yan Laoxi, Yan Laoxi, I, Jiang someone, see if you can toss for a few days." ”
Since he only wanted to watch the show, Jiang Jiashi naturally did not disclose this matter to the media, nor did he convene a meeting of several generals who followed him to discuss, but in front of him that nothing happened.
Mr. Jiang Jiashi did not say anything, and the Red Army did not have any reason to say it, because what the Red Army hoped most now was to make a fortune in silence, that is, to give a "surprise" to the Nanjing government led by Yan Xishan.
It can be said that this is the first time that Jiang Jiaoshi and the Red Army have reached a rare tacit understanding, although both sides hate each other so much that their teeth itch.
The prisoners were quietly sent to Chongqing for screening and selection, and those who were willing to join the Red Army and were healthy and strong were immediately absorbed by the Red Army, while those with knowledge and level were immediately sent to Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army, or joined the armored corps, or joined the artillery, and even a very small number of people were selected into the air force.
The remaining captives were not released, but were "classified" according to their physical qualities, knowledge and cultivation, etc., some were forced to learn knowledge, some joined the construction army, and some joined the ordinary ideological transformation camp......
While the prisoners were being sent back, General Peng's Second Army, General He's newly formed garrison, and Xu-Xiangqian's newly formed garrison began to enter Yi-Chang along the Three Gorges.
Yi-Changcheng is a departure base in the Central Plains of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, where Guo Zhuocheng also stored a large number of military supplies, weapons and ammunition transported from that time and space in 1993. The logistical units did not need to transfer weapons, ammunition, and food supplies from Chongqing, Chengdu, or even Guizhou, and this undoubtedly solved the Red Army's great worries.
Just as Mao Rundong privately sighed to Guo Zhuocheng: "Xiao Guo, you have reduced the workload of at least 300,000 of our people, and now we only need to transport weapons, ammunition, grain and grass from Yichang." Chongqing, Chengdu, and Guizhou-Yang can produce with peace of mind and seek development wholeheartedly, and the war will have no impact on this side. Hehe, I really didn't expect such a good thing. ”
Now Guo and Mao Rundong live in the mansion of the same government official in Chongqing, and the two families are only separated by a wall. Mao Rundong is tired from work, so he often comes over to take a look and chat with Guo Zhuocheng. Today he came over with another cup of hot tea, because the troops in front of him were progressing smoothly, so he was in a good mood.
Guo Zhuocheng smiled, for this kind of fraud, only a few leaders of the central government know about it, others are just guessing, many middle and lower-level officers still think that their superiors have already hoarded a large amount of materials here in Yichang.
He took a wooden stool and handed it to Mao Rundong, while he squatted on the side and stood on the horse, exercising. Because he was too busy, he had almost no time to practice Yongchun Tiger Wolf Fist now, and only stood like this for a short time to rest.
Mao Rundong watched him stand on his horse with great interest, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Guo, now that we have completely achieved political power in Sichuan and Guizhou, most of our energy is spent on production. What are your good ideas for rural land reform? ”
Guo Shucheng shook his head and said: "I don't have any ideas, I just think that if you follow the method of land reform in history, it is too cruel." ”
Mao Rundong frowned and said, "However, we can't stop carrying out land reform because we pity those big landlords and big capitalists, right?" So many people have no food or clothing, they are always struggling on the death line, how can we bear it? If we can't improve their lives, if we don't let them have land and a foundation for survival, we might as well let the Kuomintang mess around.
Our purpose is still for the benefit of the common people, or for their liberation. Whether we break away from the Soviet Union or obey the command of the Soviet Union, we cannot change the ultimate goal, that is, we must realize that the cultivators have their own land, and we must let the common people know that it is beneficial to follow our Red Army. ”
Guo Zhuocheng stood up, shook his arm, thought for a while, and said, "Can you redeem the landlord's land?" ”
Mao Rundong looked at Guo Zhuocheng and asked, "How to redeem it?" How can we get the money now that we're empty-handed? ”
Guo Zhuocheng said: "Blind benevolence is obviously impossible, I first declare that the land is state-owned, and the ownership of land is state, and any individual, unit, or group only has the right to use the land for a certain period of time, such as 50 years, such as 70 years, such as 100 years." The maximum area of land use rights that each person or family can possess is then stipulated, and those in excess of this area must be sold, either to other private individuals, units or groups, or to the state. Private individuals have the right of first purchase, and they have the right to use it for 50 years. ”
Mao Rundong asked: "Now many farmers are poor and white, not to mention buying land, even buying food for the stomach has no money, how are you going to solve it?" ”
"Loans!" Guo Zhuocheng immediately said, "I used the land he was going to buy as collateral, took out a loan from the bank, and repaid it in ten, twenty, or even fifty years." We also do not want the peasants to pay back real money, but to return the fruits of the land, such as rice, wheat, and other grains. ”
