"Today, the mayor of Chongqing, Mr. Yang Yongtai, the deputy mayor of Chongqing, Mr. Zhuang Jihua, and the chairman of Sichuan Province, General Liu Xiang, held a grand opening ceremony in Chengdu and Chongqing at the same time, and the Chengdu-Chongqing railway, which carries the hopes of two generations of Sichuan people, was officially opened..."

The newly built Caiyuanba Railway Station was crowded, tens of thousands of people were in the sound of loud drums, Yang Yongtai and the commander-in-chief Ye Yuanliang cut the first train, and then boarded the train, the overseas Chinese drivers who came back from the United States excitedly sounded the whistle, the train started slowly, spewed out a puff of black smoke, and rumbled into the distance.

But no one noticed that Zhuang Jihua quietly left the train station after the celebration and ceremony, and got on the car back to the base.

"What, you're not happy?" Mei Youlan's demeanor towards Zhuang Jihua was very strange, she should have taken the train to Chengdu, but seeing that Zhuang Jihua didn't get on the train, she gave up the interview and got into Zhuang Jihua's car.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that it's not time to be happy." Zhuang Jihua said lightly, his expression was a little tired: "Let's drive, go back to the base." ”

"Cultural Revolution, what are you thinking?" Mei Youlan was still puzzled: "You have invested so much in this road, and now finally...., I really don't understand you." ”

"Little sister, there's nothing difficult to understand," Gong Xiuhua understood Zhuang Jihua a little: "This road is only part of his plan, this plan has only been half completed so far, how can he be as happy as those people." ”

"It's still embroidery," Zhuang Jihua sighed: "No, not only me, even Shaoqing, can only be happy to a limited extent." ”

"Oh," Mei Youlan understood, although she didn't know the whole plan, she also guessed that this must have been set in the United States, his brother and Zhuang Jihua came back to carry it out, and his father and grandfather assisted in the United States.

The atmosphere in the car was a little dull, and Zhuang Jihua smiled when he found out: "Anyway, we have taken a big step, and this is a very successful step, laying a good foundation for our next step." ”

"Next," the reporter's instinct made Mei Youlan interested, and she hurriedly asked: "Is it still to build a railway?" ”

"Yes, we are exploring two routes, Yucheng to Xiangfan, Chengdu to Guiyang," Zhuang Jihua turned his head to look at Mei Youlan and asked, "Do you know what the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway has gained the most?" ”

"It's convenient, what else can I have." Mei Youlan said tentatively.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "It is an experienced engineering team, the geological situation in the southwest is much more complicated than other regions, the Chengdu-Chongqing railway should be said to be the easiest, the Sichuan-Guizhou railway, the Chengdu-Kunming railway is ten times more complicated, our engineers have gained experience on this railway, and it will be easier to build these two lines in the future." ”

"Sichuan-Guizhou Railway?" Mei Youlan asked in wonder: "Isn't there a war in Guizhou?" ”

"It's almost time, the Red Army is about to leave Guizhou." Zhuang Jihua said lightly, but Zhuang Jihua still has a question in his heart, which route will the Red Army enter Sichuan?

The answer to this question became clear after ten days. The Red Army crossed the Chishui River four times in Guizhou, threatening Guiyang, Chiang Kai-shek, who supervised the battle in Guiyang, hurriedly transferred the Yunnan Army to Sun Du for reinforcements, and then the Red Army crossed the Wujiang River in the south, entered Yunnan, and approached the city of Kunming, the whole city of Kunming was under martial law, and Long Yun hurriedly transferred the Yunnan army stationed on the Jinsha River back to defend Kunming, but he did not expect that the Red Army just shook a shot, and then turned around and went north, and the Jinsha River ferry in northern Yunnan was empty.

"How is this battle fought?" Du Yuming listed the Red Army's march route and the march route of [***] from the battle report he received, and was surprised to find that all the Red Army's actions were very skillful, and each time they hit the weak point of the Kuomintang army.

"yes, they jump out every time when our circle is just forming and it's not tight, why are they so coincidental every time?" Fan Hanjie shook his head in confusion.

"Abnormal must be demon," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "There is nothing difficult to explain this, there is only one explanation, intelligence leakage." ”

"Intelligence leaks? It can't be. Fan Hanjie said suspiciously: "All the deployments are set by the principal, and all the columns at the lower levels are personally commanded by the principal, and they only understand their own tasks, is there a Communist Party intelligence officer next to the principal?" ”

"Is it only someone who leaks information?" Zhuang Jihua asked rhetorically, Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie were even more puzzled, Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "In addition to people, there are also telegrams, I estimate that our password has been deciphered, I don't know if our password is too simple, or they are too powerful." ”

"It can't be." Fan Hanjie was incredulous: "What evidence do you have?" ”

"How can there be evidence." Zhuang Jihua grinned: "I just estimate, from the results, unless you can catch the radio monitor in the Red Army, otherwise, this kind of thing will never come to fruition." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua stood up and walked to the map: "Now the actions of the Red Army can be predicted, they will cross the Jinsha River from northern Yunnan and enter Sichuan, and Ren Naiqiang and Li Anding of Panzhihua need to retreat. ”

"Agreed." Seriously first stated that he was more of a symbol here, and when it came to fighting, he felt that Zhuang Jihua, Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie were better than him, and these students were already better than the blue.

After Li Jiayu was transferred to the northwest of Sichuan, the troops in the Huili area were empty, and under the direct intervention of Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Wenhui transferred all the first brigades of Liu Yuantang to Huili, and Xu Jianshuang of the 16th brigade was stationed in Dechang, and Liu Yuanzhang, commander of the eastern border defense of Dianchuan, was stationed in Xichang.

Although a lot of troops were transferred, Zhuang Jihua believed that Liu Wenhui was not enough, since the Second Liu War, Liu Wenhui's elite was lost, and the rest were second- and third-rate troops, even if Liu Wenhui bought a lot of weapons from him, would he be willing to take them out and consume them with the Red Army? Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to put the treasure on him, and the escort team only had a reinforced battalion of more than 500 people in Huili, and if this strength wanted to stop the Red Army that had experienced a hundred battles, I am afraid that it would be a dream in vain.

"Well, yes, Huili estimates that it will be difficult to hold, and Dechang is also very difficult, how about retreating to Xichang?" Situ Fei suggested that he didn't speak just now because Chiang Kai-shek was involved, and now it was time for him to speak.

"Xichang?" Seriously drew a line on the map, which happened to pass through Xichang, and then he drew a line from northwest Sichuan: "You see, the Zhu Mao Red Army went all the way north to meet Zhang Xu's Red Army, and they fought in the south; Zhang Xu in order to cooperate with Zhu Mao's action, but also inevitably pressed down from the north, with Liu Wenhui's strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold the western part of Xikang, he must mobilize troops to guard Ya'an and other key cities, Xichang may only be a show. ”

"The teacher is right, only by retreating to Ya'an can we ensure safety," Zhuang Jihua agreed: "Send a telegram to Li Anding, and he will be responsible for directing the retreat, telling him that he must send the experts and professors to Ya'an safely, and the equipment can be stored at home first, and the telegram should be clearly written, he and the experts are back, I will give him credit, the experts will not come back, I will kill his head, the experts will come back, he will not come back, I will give him a tree monument, and the family will be raised by me." ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone was very harsh, Du Yuming was stunned, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to give such a ruthless order, Fan Hanjie hesitated to persuade: "No need, we start to retreat now, it must be too late." ”

"Panzhihua is divided into several teams, scattered in a radius of dozens of miles, and it will take several days just to gather, and the speed of the Red Army's march is very fast, and we are only now judging their movements, I am afraid it is too late." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said: "Tell him that it is really not possible, he can hide in his house, and he must ensure the safety of personnel." Move fast! ”

Sure enough, two days later, news came that the Red Army had conquered Kyaukpingdu, and then routed Liu Yuantang's two regiments, and Liu Yuantang retreated to Huili in embarrassment.

"We must stick to the Huili and block the Vermilion and Mao bandits!" Li Anding's eyes were red, and he immediately began to gather the exploration team after receiving Zhuang Jihua's telegram, but the development team was too scattered, and it took three full days to recover half of it, and the rest were on the way.

As soon as Liu Yuantang set off to Kyaukpingdu to block the attack, he immediately sent the one who had arrived away along with Ren Naiqiang, and he led the remaining three hundred people to wait for other teams in the county, he didn't dare to go, he knew that he wanted to leave that half, Zhuang Jihua really wanted to kill him.

"! How do I keep it? Liu Yuantang was a little angry: "I'm just such a person, how can you let me keep it?" ”

The city was already in chaos, and a few wealthy families began to flee to Dechang, while more people gathered at the gate of the county government axe and begged Liu Yuantang to guard the council.

Although Liu Yuantang shouted at Li Anding, he also had eight things in his heart, he had two regiments still on the way to retreat to the county seat, if he just shook his hands and left, these two regiments would be finished.

"Commander-in-Chief Telegram," while Liu Yuantang and Li Anding were arguing, the staff officer sent Liu Wenhui's telegram, and Liu Yuantang grabbed the telegram.

"The Red Army is looking for me, a poor bastard, even if you fight, you can't fight it, it's over, Lao Jiang ordered to stick to the reason, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

There was helplessness between the lines, Liu Yuantang seemed to see Liu Wenhui's dark face full of sorrow, he sighed in his heart, sat on the chair with his head a little dejected, and let Li Anding take the telegram from his hand, but as soon as his butt fell, he immediately felt that this would affect the morale of the army, and he immediately stood up and shouted from the officers around him: "The commander-in-chief ordered us to stick to Huili and live and die with Huili." ”

The officers looked at each other silently, and then replied unevenly: "Yes!" ”

Liu Yuantang sneered: "Adjutant! Send someone to chase my two wives back immediately! Brothers, I chased my wife back, and our family is in Huihui, and we are in trouble with our brothers! ”

"Yes, there are difficulties!" The momentum of the officers was all at once, and their voices were loud.

Liu Yuantang immediately started arranging, demolishing all the houses outside the city near the city wall to clear the shooting boundary, and then requisitioned the whole city to go to the city, with two people at each battlement.

Li Anding was in a hurry to send people to find the team that had not arrived, and ordered them to hide in their own territory, he estimated that even if they could reach the county seat, it would be impossible to escape from the county seat.

Li Anding's judgment was very correct, there were still two teams back to the county seat, this time he did not send them away, but left them in the county seat, and the Red Army reconnaissance team had already appeared outside the city, and they could not leave if they wanted to.

Note: The Red Army deciphered the Kuomintang army code, which was found out by Long Yun, and the Red First Army had an intelligence staff officer who was captured by the Yunnan army, and he carried the military orders of the Kuomintang army deciphered by the Red Army, Long Yun reported the situation to Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to order frequent changes to the existing passwords. The Kuomintang military system was complicated, and the Central Army, the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guizhou Army, and the Hunan Army had completely different passwords, so they had to be coded in a simple way
