In order to strengthen the defensive strength of the Central Soviet Region, Guo Zhuocheng also took out 20 M-2 howitzers with a caliber of 105 mm, 30 twin antiaircraft machine guns, 50 92 infantry guns, 70 81 mm mortars, and a lot of medicine from the materials transported in that time and space in 1992 to the security brigade, and even gave the local government some ordinary old machine tools and diesel engines, so that they could carry out some simple machining and repair some guns.

If it weren't for the fear that they would be too suspicious, or that the impact would be too great, Guo Zhuocheng would still want to keep more weapons and ammunition and more and more advanced weapons.

In addition, he chose a secret cave, the entrance of the cave was sealed with stones, cement, and steel bars, and the outside was guarded by some elderly soldiers who had retired from the security brigade, and only obeyed Guo Zhuocheng's telegraph orders to open the cave.

Guo Zhuocheng claimed that this cave contained guns, ammunition, and food, and that it could only be used when the central-Soviet zone was at its most dangerous, and Guo Zhuocheng could only be used after sending a telegram to Guo Zhuocheng.

In fact, there is nothing sealed in this cave, it is a passage used by Guo Zhuocheng to transmit materials. He planned that in the event of an emergency in the Central-Soviet District, he would be able to deliver weapons, ammunition and food to the defending forces of the Central-Soviet District through the cave in Guò in time.

Under Guo Zhuocheng's leadership, the security brigade remaining in the Central-Soviet District was commanded by Chen-Yi and Su-Yu, and its name was also changed to the Central-Soviet District Defense Corps at the request of Qu Qiubai and others. Of course, the approval of this name is not the credit of Guo Zhuocheng, his rank is not yet Cheng Dù, who was approved for a unit number, and it was approved by the people from the central government.

Originally, Guo Zhuocheng wanted to ask Su Yu to come over and assist him in leading the column under his command. But he was worried about his troops leaving. Taking advantage of the emptiness here, the Central Army attacked again. Su-Yu's departure is likely to greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the remaining troops. If there is a golden pair of Chen Yi and Su Yu here, Guo Zhuocheng can rest assured.

He believed that with the two of them, and with the weapons and ammunition he had left for the Central-Soviet District to equip nearly 30,000 regular troops, they would be able to repel the enemy's attack and, if not create a larger base area, at least protect themselves.

Guo Zhuocheng was very sure that the strengthened central-Soviet zone would not fall again. Although the current Central-Soviet Region does not have 100,000 men and horses, they are well-armed and do not have the arbitrary command of Wang Ming and others. What is more important is that it is impossible for Jiang Jieshi's Central Army to concentrate all its strength on attacking here, and his forces will be pinned down by the direct column and the Red Army, the main force of the Central Committee.

On March 10, 1935, the column directly under the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which had been in the Central Soviet Region for almost two months, had rested and almost trained, and began its westward expedition under the leadership of Guo Zhuocheng, Mao Runtan, Zhang Pingkai, Chen Peng, Wang Guangdao and others.

This time they took the oath and set off in the city of Ganzhou, and in order to keep it secret, they only invited a few leaders of the Soviet district to attend the swearing-in meeting, and then they bid farewell to these leaders and set off in the night.

Watching the column under their direct command leave majestically and with high spirits, several leaders were not happy.

It was also a farewell, but when the Central Red Army was sent away at the end of last year, everyone's hearts were depressed. I don't know the fate of myself and the entire Red Army. But now that this column is being sent away, everyone is full of confidence. Their curiosity fell more on Guo Zhuocheng personally, feeling that this person was a combination of contradictions.

Or they really love and hate Guo Zhuocheng.

What I love is that Guo Zhuocheng is dedicated to the public and does things fairly, and all the seizures are basically left, they just took away what they had to take, and they didn't even bring extra artillery and shells. In particular, the grain they took away was only enough to eat for a few days, and the rest was handed over to the Soviet district government.

What I hate is that Guo Zhuocheng is very stubborn and domineering, and he actually instigated everyone to oppose Wang Ming, and to encourage everyone not to follow the Soviet Union and not to obey the command of the Comintern-International.

After his encouragement, coupled with the fact that he sent grain and meat, the common people in the Soviet area had a happy and prosperous year, and all the Red officers and men had income in their pockets, so that everyone listened to him, and the common people even left Wang Ming and the Soviet Union behind, and only Chairman Mao was the leader in their hearts.

Many people worry in their hearts: "What if someone from Moscow comes to power in the future?" Will it cause another bloody storm? Mao Rundong didn't know if he would be implicated by this guy and suffer a catastrophe......"

There is a reason why Guo Zhuocheng led his troops to attack at this time, because the main Red Army, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, had just crossed Chishui three times, and it would soon be the fourth crossing of Chishui. The first two crossings of Chishui can be said to be aimed at getting rid of the desperate pursuit of Jiang Jiaoshi's central army and local troops, while the last two crossings of Chishui were the main force of the Red Army that began the strategic initiative and completely got rid of the pursuit of the central army.

On the one hand, these battles established a higher prestige and a more positive and wise image in the minds of the vast number of Red Army, and Guo Zhuocheng's actions would not have a negative impact on his image. On the other hand, Chiang Jieshi's attempt to encircle and destroy the Red Army would soon fail completely, and he should be free to step up his offensive on the central-Soviet zone.

Guo Zhuocheng did not want Jiang Jiaoshi's Central Army to beat the Central Soviet Region to pieces, so he wanted to jump out of this place and establish a base with the main Red Army.

Only a stable and safe base can Guo Zhuocheng give better and fuller play to the advantages of the traverser and play a greater role in this time and space, so he must go out immediately.

The road set by Guo Zhuocheng was to start from the city of Ganzhou, pass through Hu-Nan, Guizhou-Zhou, and finally reach Sichuan, striving to catch up with the main Red Army in Sichuan, and then seek the next step of development.

The way forward for the troops was already reconnoitred by the special combat team, and now Jiang Jieshi was busy dispatching troops from various places, on the one hand, he had to continue to pursue and suppress the main force of the Red Army, and on the other hand, he had to re-attack the central Soviet area.

Guo Zhuocheng found the code for the communication between the Central Army and the Central Army in 1935 from that time and space in 1992, and the huge telecommunications and intelligence brigade under his command was very familiar with the actions of the Central Army, and even the communication situation of the local warlords was also very clear.

If it weren't for the sake of secrecy, if it weren't for the other party to find out, Guo Zhuocheng even wanted to transfer a group of troops to the ideal position in the name of the presidential palace, let his own direct column annihilate them, or let them make way for his own troops.

In his view, being able to know clearly about the movement of the Central Army and the positions of the various departments of the Central Army is already a golden thigh, and he can no longer ask for anything extravagant, and he cannot be too dissatisfied. The matter of the radio station mobilizing opponents should wait until the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and then we must let the devils drink a good pot.

Soon after the Lunar New Year, it can be said that the coldest season in the south has passed, and walking in the mountains and forests late at night does not feel uncomfortable, but has a very comfortable feeling. These officers and men who have undergone a period of training are also full of energy and high morale. In the open mountains, the sound of neat and powerful footsteps came far, far away.

The entire unit did not carry too many weapons and ammunition, and only a few dozen 92 infantry guns and some mortars were heavily armed, and not only were the main forces of the two divisions almost lightly armed, but even the logistics brigade did not carry too much baggage.

They carry few things, the main reason is that Guo Zhuocheng has a secret space, which can be loaded with enough weapons and ammunition for the troops, which is equivalent to carrying a large ammunition depot at any time, such as the M-2 large howitzer, there is no need to follow the team at all, that will drag down the large troops, especially in the mountainous areas, many times it is difficult to move an inch.

Why make the officers and soldiers hard? All he's after now is speed.

Because of the speed of the troops, they forcibly marched more than 50 kilometers in one night and one day to reach the steep water town between Chongyi County and Shangyou County.

Although this area cannot be said to be the territory of the Red Army, after Guo Zhuocheng and his occupation of this place last time, the Central Army did not dare to pursue, so that this area belongs to a vacuum, and Guo Zhuocheng let the troops swagger to rest in and around this remote village where there are basically no outsiders coming in.

After resting here for the night, the column continued to penetrate straight to the west and began a long march: bypassing Chongyi County into Shatian Town, Guidong County, Hunan, passing through Qingjiao Town into Qili Town, passing through Yongxing County......

After five days of continuous forced marching, they infiltrated the town of Jiangkou between Hengyang and Leiyang counties. In the mountains and forests near Jiangkou Town, the subordinate column began to rest in secret. They recuperate and prepare for the next battle.

This time, Guo Zhuocheng's plan was to suddenly kill from the jungle and give the Hunan army who had just arrived here a dismount.

The Hunan army was a local warlord army second only to the Gui army, and this unit made a special contribution in the Battle of Xiangjiang and was one of Jiang Jiaoshi's biggest accomplices. They blocked the Red Army at every turn, pursued and suppressed the Red Army with all their might, and did not rest assured until the main Red Army was driven out of the territory of Hunan.

Now He Jian, chairman of Hu-Nan Province, sent troops to participate in the re-encirclement and suppression of the central-Soviet region on the orders of Jiang Jieshi, and when the other warlords and the central-army were not yet in place, they set out impatiently and sent a division and a brigade as the vanguard, wanting to show that they were much more reliable than the Gui army in front of Jiang Jieshi.

Guo Zhuocheng wanted to kill chickens to show the monkeys, and he was determined to destroy this division and brigade, so that the central army and local warlords who participated in the encirclement and suppression knew that the central Soviet region was not easy to provoke, and then delayed their offensive time, and gave Chen Yi and Su Yu's defensive corps more time to reorganize and run in.
