Chapter 1077: Prophetic Foresight

In addition to paying attention to the movements of the Central Red Army entering Yunnan at any time, An Yi also participated in the opening ceremony of more than 10 enterprises, among which Luzhou Convenience Food Factory, Nanxi Beverage Factory, Xufu Seasoning Food Factory, Shuifu Canning Factory and Jiang'an Candy Factory are all key military enterprises designated by An Yi, among which instant noodles, canned pork, fish, meat and fruits, compressed biscuits and chocolate candy products are the trump card to ensure logistics supply in the future Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, An Yi attaches great importance to it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition, the Xufu Petrochemical Research Institute has made a breakthrough in the research of natural gas, the petrochemical experts who returned from studying in the United States under the leadership of Peng Jialian have overcome all kinds of difficulties to develop the technology of safe exploitation of natural gas, and the South Sichuan Mining Team has drilled the first gas well in Nanxi, and the initial practice of urban gas engineering in Nanxi County has been successful, and some wealthy families have purchased gas stoves and gas water heaters produced by Xufu Electric Appliance Factory through the urban pipe network connection, and began to enjoy the superior life brought by electrification. It is expected that in the next few years, with the exploitation of gas wells in Jiang'an, Changning and Xufu with proven reserves, ordinary people in southern Sichuan can also enjoy the benefits of natural gas as a clean energy.

Of course, Peng Jialian's research does not stop there, because there are few oil resources in the entire southwest, and the future war of resistance is in urgent need of energy supply, and now she is leading a research team to explore the production of natural gas to synthetic oil. The natural gas-to-liquids technology consists of two processes: the first stage is the production of syngas from natural gas; The second stage consists of syngas converted to liquid hydrocarbons on a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. Since Germany has achieved industrialization with Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology as early as three years ago, producing more than 2,000 tons of GTL base oil per day, Peng Jialian has the direction and motivation of research, and believes that with the deepening of cooperation with Germany, the future of southern Sichuan can achieve self-sufficiency in energy even if it encounters Japanese invaders.

An Yi was busy up and down, and he couldn't even spare time to go to the art troupe to see Han Yu and fulfill his promise, and then Chiang Kai-shek's telegram came again - because the Central Red Army was reorganized in Tashi, facing the five brigades led by Lu Han, the deputy commander of the Yunnan Army, and the four brigades led by Zhu Shigui and Sun Du of the 38th Army, the Red Army, which was inferior in strength and equipment, could not break through after a fierce battle, turned around and marched eastward again, and plunged headlong into the western Qianxi territory.

The Wang Jialie Department of the Guizhou Army, which was chasing behind the buttocks of the Red Army, was caught off guard, and was dizzy for a while, and was defeated all the way to the south. The two regiments of the main force of the Red Army pinned down Zhou Hunyuan's brigade, and when Xue Yue's army was rapidly advancing westward, the main force suddenly appeared on the line of Taipingdu and Erlangtan, crossed Chishui for the second time, launched a fierce attack, defeated the defending enemy in one fell swoop, and once again rushed into the Zunyi and Tongzi areas where the troops were empty. Wu Qiwei led two divisions to Zunyi in a hurry, just halfway to the road, was attacked by the rapid movement of the Red Army concentrated forces, both flanks at the same time by the division of the Red Army divisions and heavy losses, Wu Qiwei's column suffered losses and generals, miserable, and finally fled to the direction of Guiyang with less than the remnants of less than one brigade, and when the Wujiang River was half crossed, it was again attacked by the Red Army as fast as lightning on both sides, all weapons and baggage were almost lost, and nearly 2,000 men and horses who had not yet crossed the river became prisoners of the Red Army.

The Red Army's first major victory since the Long March was thus achieved, and Zunyi, Tongzi and other places returned to the Red Army. Xue Yue's Central Army and Wang Jialie's Guizhou Army were stunned, and immediately assembled troops to replenish the troops, and just after the preparations were completed, they found that the main force of the Red Army had abandoned Zunyi and headed for Dafang and Jinsha.

Xue Yue immediately ordered Zhou Hunyuan's column to attack the Jinsha area from north to south, and ordered Wu Qiwei, who had atoned for his crimes, to lead two more divisions from the direction of Guiyang to Jinsha, striving to block the Red Army's way and jointly attack the main force of the Red Army east of Bijie. At this time, the Red Army suddenly turned north, captured the county seat of Huairen again, crossed Chishui for the third time from Maotai Town on 16 March, and appeared on the Sichuan-Guizhou border heavily guarded by the Anjia Army.

Xue Yue, Zhou Hunyuan, Wang Jialie, and other troops of more than 100,000 troops were tossed around by the Red Army like monkeys, rushing back and forth in all directions, so exhausted that they could not catch up with them, and hurriedly reported to Chairman Chiang, who was in command in Chongqing, and at the same time sent a telegram to An Yi, asking him to strictly guard the front line of Sichuan and Guizhou, and to request that the fighters of the Southwest Air Force Command be dispatched to assist in the operation.

When An Yi was having a headache how to recover, after a thunderstorm in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou region, a heavy rainstorm suddenly came, and it began to rain continuously the next day, and the plane could not be dispatched at all. An Yi's problem was easily solved, and he immediately replied to Xue Yue: The Sichuan-Guizhou border defense line is "impregnable", and it will be difficult for the Zhu Mao Red Army to break through the formation and go north.

At this point, Chiang Kai-shek, who was originally full of confidence in gathering and annihilating the Red Army in Guizhou and Yunnan, finally could no longer sit still, and immediately ordered Xue Yue to gather troops, slowly press northward, and strive to compress the main force of the Red Army on the Sichuan-Guizhou border, and together with An Yi's six divisions and five garrison brigades, the Red Army was completely wiped out. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zhu Peide to command the troops to quickly enter Guizhou and encircle the Red Army from the west, and then ordered An Yi to vigorously cooperate with Xue Yue's troops and the Lu Han division of the Yunnan army, and planned to rush to Syria as soon as possible to command the overall situation.

In the headquarters of the Anjia Army's base camp, the generals and colonels gathered in front of the large map, looking at the location of the Red Army that had just been marked on the map and the route of each pursuing unit, and they were full of discussions, surprised by the Red Army's rapid speed and attack ability, and sincerely admired the Red Army's flexible and resourceful actions, so that no one knew when An Yi walked behind everyone.

An Yi quietly listened to the brothers' analysis and debate, and did not speak for more than 20 minutes, and was sincerely happy for the brothers' open thinking and self-confidence in their words.

Ye Cheng turned his head, saw An Yi smiling, laughed and instructed the brothers to continue discussing, walked up to An Yi and stretched out his hand to ask for a cigarette, and came to the balcony with An Yi to swallow the clouds and smoke:

"Grandma's Luján, what are you doing so hard? If we fight more leisurely, we won't force the main force of the Central Red Army to turn around and enter Guizhou again, but now it's good, we have a headache again...... Looking at you like this, it seems that you are not worried at all about the Vermilion Red Army attacking our army's defensive line? ”

"What am I worried about? Now that the Red Army is fighting so smartly, how can it make the mistake of attacking the strong with the weak and delaying time in vain? You can't blame Luján either, how could he allow the Red Army to storm his territory? In the past two years, the Guizhou army has also saved a lot of belongings, building roads in various parts of northern Yunnan, opening mines, just about to get rich, the Red Army has arrived, if they are communist, they are not so angry that they vomit blood? As for us, there is no problem, at most the soldiers will work hard and stay on the Sichuan-Guizhou border for a while. If you think about it, our defensive line is strong, almost all of them are in a favorable position and advantageous terrain, the Red Army really wants to fight and have to attack on the back, the investment of troops is less than we can not defeat us, it takes time to mobilize the more troops, if we don't get it right, we will be pinned down around the defense line and unable to advance or retreat, if it is delayed for a day or two, the army of Xue Boling, Wang Jialie and Sun Du will come up, and the Red Army, which has only more than 30,000 troops, how can it resist the nearly 300,000 troops surrounded on three sides? At that time, it will be more difficult for the Red Army, and the only way to retreat is to flee to the line of the junction of Hunan and Guizhou, but if it is that way, it may be even worse, that is, it can only survive for a few more days. An Yi replied easily.

Ye Cheng nodded: "Also, the brothers all had similar views just now, and they all knew that if the Red Army attacked our defense line, it would be a better strategy." However, it has been rainy for several days and the visibility is low, and it is not an easy task to really encircle the Red Army in an area 100 kilometers south of our defensive line, and the Red Army's mobile warfare and mountain warfare are much stronger than those of the Central Army and the Yunnan-Guizhou armies. ”

An Yi smiled: "The more this is the case, the more you have to run away quickly!" If you were in the position of Vermilion, what would you do? And from which direction should I break through? ”

"You mean, the Red Army's northward march is another illusion? The purpose is to mobilize the various troops of the pursuit and suppression, and then break the siege and go west again, leaving the 200,000 chasing army far behind? ”

Ye Cheng suddenly realized that this situation was extremely likely, and he was also deeply surprised by the Red Army's plan.

An Yi smiled and nodded: "Everything is possible, if you are a Red Army and face such a dangerous situation, what will you do?" Ha ha...... I'll have to have a cup of tea first, I'm dying of thirst. ”

An Yi went in and made himself a cup of tea, returned to his seat and picked up the newspaper, and couldn't help humming the song in his memory while reading, but he remembered it completely, but it didn't affect his familiarity with the melody:

“…… It is difficult to cross the mountain road, and the enemy has a heavy army to press the Guizhou realm, and the enemy has a heavy army to press the Guizhou realm...... Lala, four crossings of Chishui surprise soldiers, Wujiang River is dangerously crossed, and the soldiers are in Guiyang lalalala......"

Confidential secretary Zhao Bohan originally wanted to make tea for An Yi, but after seeing An Yi do it himself, he stood by the pillar embarrassedly and waited for An Yi's next order.

An Yi didn't notice that Zhao Bohan was standing beside him, holding the newspaper and happily humming the incomplete song, forgetting the lyrics and replacing it with "lala", which did not affect his good mood at all, and after singing two or three times and drinking a cup of water, he realized that something seemed wrong, and the singing stopped.

"Bohan, did you hear the song humming by the Commander just now? There seems to be a saying 'four crossings of the red water to surprise soldiers', right? Ye Cheng came behind Zhao Bohan and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Bohan hurriedly turned around: "Yes!" The second time I heard it clearly, there are four crossings of the red water...... Chief of Staff, you said that the Red Army has already crossed the Chishui River three times back and forth, will it not be possible to come back and forth again? ”

"What do you say?"

Ye Cheng smiled, patted Zhao Bohan's shoulder and left.

Zhao Bohan stood in place and scratched his head, thinking that if the Red Army crossed the Chishui again, An Yi would be divine, and An Yi expected the opportunity before the Red Army moved.

On the afternoon of 22 March, Chiang Kai-shek, who had to take a boat due to bad weather, rushed to the headquarters of the Anjia Army in Syria, and the Red Army also suddenly crossed the Chishui River in the morning of the same day. The only defeat was the He Long Corps, which went south to attack Dayong on the Hunan and Hubei borders, but not only failed to break through the Hunan army's defense line and went south to join the Central Red Army, but the officers and men of the department also suffered heavy losses, so they could only flee to Laifeng and Longshan in western Hubei again, and the distance between them and the Central Red Army became farther and farther.

When Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Syria, he learned that the Red Army had left the Sichuan-Guizhou border and went south, and immediately lamented and shouted cunning.

An Yi, Yang Bin and others hurriedly explained in harmony, saying that no matter how the Red Army tossed, it would not be able to cross the Sichuan-Guizhou border defense line guarded by the An Jiajun, and as long as the Red Army was still in Guizhou, it was still in a huge encirclement, and it was very difficult to go anywhere.

Chiang Kai-shek felt better, and simply finished dinner, returned to the guest house in Xiyuan to rest for a while, washed and changed clothes, and immediately started a war analysis meeting.

An Yi, Yang Bin, and Ye Cheng could only accompany Chiang Kai-shek to carry out research, but Guizhou had not yet discovered accurate information on the location of the main forces of the Red Army, and a group of generals could only surround the map and talk on paper, but there were many possibilities, including the Red Army that Chiang Kai-shek was most unwilling to see turn around and break the border between Hunan and Guizhou to the north. The Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army in the northern Sichuan battlefield and the Helong Army, which was suppressed without being destroyed, will be greatly encouraged, and the front line in western Hubei and eastern Sichuan, which is weak, will be caught in the merciless attack of the Red Army's many units.

That night, Chiang Kai-shek's orders were issued from Syria, Zhang Hongluan's 44th Army in Xiangxi was fully mobilized, and Liu Jianxu's corps, which was stationed in Qiandong with nearly half of its troops, also received orders to be vigilant at all times and act at any time.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had been scheduled to visit the Syrian Aircraft Factory and the Arsenal in the afternoon, suddenly received a secret report from Dai Li: At 9 o'clock this morning, the Soviet Russian Government and the puppet Manchurian Government signed a high-profile agreement on the illegal transfer of the China Eastern Railway in Tokyo, and European and American countries have also received relevant news.

Chiang Kai-shek was furious, from the beginning to the present, Chiang Kai-shek and the central government refused to recognize the sovereignty of the Eastern Railway between Soviet Russia and Japan, and repeatedly put forward strong negotiations on the transfer of the Eastern Railway between Russia and Japan. This time, Soviet Russia went so unscrupulously to sign an agreement on the illegal transfer of the China Eastern Railway, an illegal government that the Chinese Government and people have never recognized and deeply hated, and this is undoubtedly an extreme contempt for China's sovereignty and wanton damage to China's interests.

An Yi and the generals were also furious, and the excited An Yi ordered on the spot: immediately stop the cooperation negotiations with the Soviet Russian government and private industrial and commercial enterprises and financial institutions, and from now on prohibit people with Soviet and Russian passports from entering southern Sichuan, western Qianxi, Xiangxi and southern Yunnan, and all export contracts originally signed with the Soviet Russian State Import and Export Company for tung oil, tungsten products, antimony products, rosin, industrial tea oil, pig bristles, etc. will be invalid!
