The smoke of the Great War in Northern Sichuan had already been quietly ignited, and at the same time that Comrade Yang Agong personally went to the Huangshan Villa and Luo Yaoguo, the director of the Kuomintang Yucheng camp, to fight with each other. Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, who were sitting in the headquarters of the "Aid to Gansu National Army" in Guangyuan City, suddenly discovered that the war had already started in private!

Is there a difference between private and open war? In the past, even Sichuan, which had a lot of strange things, had never heard of such strange things. And now, Deng Xihou and Tian Donggua have finally seen what it is, there is no most shameless, only more shameless! This time there are two opponents, it is said that they are not in the same group, one is Yang Sen, who is crowned with the brand of the Youth Army, and Wang Zixing's brigade of three armies and twelve brigades, and now this army has left Chengdu and entered Deyang, and it seems that it is about to fight. The other opponent is the Kuomintang's Fifth Army, the Eighth Army and the reinforcement army that came out of nowhere, these three armies plus one fast also have nearly 100,000, this force now claims to be friendly with Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, and has no intention of being an enemy with them, their purpose is only to drive the youth army out of Sichuan, and return Sichuan to a stable and prosperous situation, which sounds like good people.

Facing the young army of Yang Sen and Wang Zixing, who were about to fight over and grab their territory, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao and others naturally had to go all out to defend their homeland, and they couldn't give up the fat territory on the road from Mianyang to Guangyuan, right? And if you want to fight, you must concentrate your forces. Deng, Tian and Liu Bin have dozens of counties together, spanning northern Sichuan, northwest Sichuan and the northern part of the Chengdu Plain. Their army of 50,000 was spread over such a large territory, and if they were not concentrated, they would definitely be broken by each other. But as soon as they concentrate their forces, won't the vast territory in northern Sichuan be empty? As a result, the National Revolutionary Army, which was composed of regiments and battalions, immediately followed up separately and stationed in the counties and towns where Deng and Tian had just been evacuated, and even disarmed the small units of troops they had left behind. In this way, in just ten days, the war on the surface has not yet begun, and in private, Luo Yaoguo has snatched a large area of defense areas in northeast and northwest Sichuan! Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao actually lost twenty counties!

"Ge Laozi! What kind of battle is this? Tian Songyao paced in the command room, scolding and swearing, and he said: "These Kuomintang rightists are really too unruly!" While we are preparing for the war with Yang Zihui, we are about to snatch up my territory! Even if we defeat Yang Zihui now, we will have no place to stay! Consultant Bao, do you have a way? ”

Adviser Bao was Comrade Borodin, the former chief adviser of the Kuomintang, but he was hired to ask questions, so GC International and Stalin felt that it was not interesting to let him stay in Guangzhou, so they sent him to Yan'an to be an adviser to GCD. This time, he brought the aid of GC International to Guangyuan to help the Kuomintang leftists Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao. But he didn't expect that there would be such a war in this world? Shouldn't this war be a battle between the enemy and us? How did it become a three-way singing drama of "friend and foe"? Moreover, that "friend" is obviously in collusion with the "enemy". Taking advantage of the "enemy" to attract the two main forces of the leftists, Deng and Tian, to the front line of Mianyang, the opportunity of the vast territory in northern and northwest Sichuan to be empty has greatly increased the opportunity to seize territory.

"Is it possible to concentrate a main force and annihilate one of their regiments or battalions?" Huang Muyan, who represented Zhong G on the side, suddenly interjected, and now he has finally passed the party test and joined the GCD, but at the same time he is still a leftist of the Kuomintang. He walked to the military map, looked at it for a while, and said: "The forces of these Kuomintang rightists are very scattered and have penetrated deep into our territory, in fact, they have committed a taboo in the soldiers, we can concentrate a part of our troops to encircle and annihilate them, as long as we hurt them, we can take the initiative." ”

Is that okay? Tian Songyao looked at Deng Xihou, now he is the boss, Tian Songyao's army let Sun Zhen pull more than half of it, and there is only one division of 10,000 guns left, and I don't know if I can annihilate a regiment of the Kuomintang when I concentrate it? Deng Xihou now has nearly 30,000 guns in the weight of the three divisions, in addition to the dissatisfied divisions of Liu Bin, Luo Zezhou, and Chen Guodong, adding up to about 10,000 people. Basically, there was no artillery, there were few machine guns, there was a shortage of ammunition, and the problem of military pay was partially solved by Borodin.

"Jin Gong, now that they have made the first move, we can't blindly tolerate it, otherwise we will be regarded as weak and bullied by them!" Huang Muyan saw Deng Xihou hesitate, so he took the military map from the table on the side, and spread it in front of Deng Xihou, he pointed to Cangxi, a small city in the southeast of Guangyuan, and said with a smile: "This Cangxi county is the gateway of our Guangyuan, it was captured by them ten days ago, and now they have a regiment of troops left there, this is a regiment changed from the Hunan army, the regiment commander is named Chen Mingren, a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, he has not fought any battles, we just happened to take him to the knife!" We will move the strength of two divisions, and it will be Lei Gong to fight tofu when we beat one regiment, and we will definitely be able to raise our hands and will not affect the frontal decisive battle. Moreover, now Yang Sen and Wang Zizheng are busy reorganizing the troops, and they will not be able to move for ten days and half a month. If we don't fight now, we will be done with everything when they have formed their troops. ”

"But-" Borodin seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, after all, it was the "Kuomintang leftists" who were doing it now, not the Red Army, so it would not cause a rupture in the relations between the two parties, and if this battle was lost, Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao probably had no way out but to join the Red Army and accept the reorganization, right? Thinking of this, Borodin stood up and said loudly to Deng Xihou: "General Deng, we have no choice but to fight now!" If we win this battle, we still have a place in Sichuan, if we lose, at most we will go out of Sichuan, if we don't fight, we will be squeezed out of Sichuan by Yang Sen in the end. General, please make up your mind! ”

……

"Fugong, the latest information, Deng Xihou's two divisions quietly left Mianyang last night and went north, and their whereabouts are unknown." There is really no secret in the Sichuan army, Huang Yin just took the two main divisions to the north, and Li Jiajue got the news from his old subordinate Luo Zezhou, Li Jiajue is now the commander of the 43rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, stationed in Da County. After getting the news, Li Jiajue did not hesitate and immediately sent a telegram to Yucheng Xingying.

Luo Yaoguo had just gotten up and was still eating breakfast, when he got the news from Sun Yuanliang, who came in a hurry. This handsome guy has now completed his intelligence work and returned to the camp to be the colonel's intelligence chief, and Zeng Guangqing was appointed as the head of the Sichuan station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, which is also a good shortcoming.

"Order all the units that have entered northern and northwestern Sichuan to return to strongholds that can be fortified, and increase vigilance." Luo Yaoguo put down the snacks in his hand, stood up and walked towards the war room, making arrangements as he walked: "Who sent this news?" ”

"It's General Li Qixiang (Li Jiajue), and his old subordinate Luo Zezhou is willing to take refuge in us." Sun Yuanliang smiled and said: "Luo Zezhou is now stationed in Mianyang with half of the division, if we are willing to give him a division commander, he is willing to take refuge in us." ”

"How many troops does Mianyang City have now, did he provide it?" Luo Yaoguo thought about it and asked.

"Originally, there were two divisions of Deng Xihou and one division of Tian Songyao, and these three divisions all left about one brigade to guard the family, in addition to Liu Bin, Luo Zezhou and Chen Guodong, each with a missing division, with a total strength of about 40,000, and now Huang Yin has taken away Deng Xihou's two divisions, and Luo Zezhou is willing to be our internal response." Sun Yuanliang stopped when he said this and looked at Luo Yaoguo.
