Chapter 733 is only because he is in this mountain

The battleship "Chutian" faced the rising sun in the east and went down the river, and two 100-ton inland river gunboats escorted the front and rear, calmly and unhurriedly sailing downstream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The "Chutian" is an 800-ton destroyer that has just been bought back from Britain, its gray-blue hull has smooth lines, the two majestic main guns on the front and rear decks are pointing obliquely into the blue sky, and the naval officers and men on the deck are neatly dressed and in good spirits, and they are all proud that their warships can become Chairman Chiang's car.

An Yi, who accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to Lushan to hold a meeting on the suppression of bandits, did not stand leisurely on the deck enjoying the beautiful scenery along the river with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee as other generals did, or instead shook his head and let out a few exclamations of admiration elegantly, he sat alone in the not very large command cabin, with a thick stack of materials on his desk, and buried himself in carefully reading a large number of recent reports on the suppression of bandits, and analyzing the current battlefields and operational objectives, directions, and time limits of various armies and divisions.

After reading the deployment of troops and the situation of the enemy in the western Hubei battlefield and Henan, Hubei and Anhui, An Yi sighed, shook his head slightly, closed the file and pondered for a while, and then picked up the battle reports of the various ways of the Jiangxi and Guangdong bandits on another stack of files and read them carefully.

Ge Jingen entered the command cabin with a radiant face and a high spirit, and saw An Yi sitting stupidly in front of the unrolled map, not moving, and couldn't help but walk to An Yi's side curiously, looked at the map carefully for a while, and introduced with a low smile:

"The Eighteenth Army and the Xianghan Ping Department of the Guangdong Army attacked from both sides, and drove Zhu De and Peng Dehuai out of northern Guangdong yesterday afternoon, and the next step is to estimate that General Jing Zhi will implement the guiding ideology of 'dividing troops and encircling them', encircling Zhu De and Peng Dehuai's troops, and then dividing and annihilating them."

An Yi raised his head: "Do you believe that the various departments of Jiangxi and Guangdong under the command of General Jingzhi can do it?" ”

Ge Jingen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, and sat next to An Yi: "This time it is very likely to get his wish, the six divisions of the Fourth Route Army of General He Jian in the direction of western Jiangxi and Hunan, the four divisions of the Sixth Route Army of General Zhu Shaoliang in the northwest of Jiangxi are oppressed, the 52nd Division of the 18th Army of General Chen Cheng in the eastern direction of Jiangxi, and the 17th Division of the 17th Division temporarily under the command of General Chen Cheng are firmly nailed to the line of Xinfeng and Nankang in the strategic places, and the three divisions of the 19th Route Army commanded by General Cai Tingkai are pressing from east to west on the line of Fujian and Jiangxi. Coupled with the assistance of the two aviation brigades at Nanchang Airport and the close monitoring of the enemy's movements, it was not so easy for the Red Army to slip away this time. ”

An Yi shook his head disdainfully: "At a cursory glance, it seems that our army has the upper hand, and it occupies strategic places and key areas that must be passed, but if you take a closer look, the various departments are uneven, the route of attack and suppression is full of loopholes, and the terrain of southern Jiangxi is complex and mountainous, and the forests cover the sky and the sun, which is really not conducive to large-scale troop marching and mutual coordination."

"Secondly, under the encirclement and suppression of many years, the Red Army has summed up a set of flexible and changeable tactics, and can flexibly use them according to different situations, and can often jump out of the encirclement unconsciously in the seemingly tight encirclement of our various armies, as long as they see an opportunity, they will gather troops at an astonishing speed, and launch a fierce blow to the lone army that has advanced or lagged behind, and after a successful blow, they will fly away, and when our various commanders react, they are often unable to determine the whereabouts of the main force of the Red Army, so that their doubts and doubts are shaken by their confidence. The encirclement formed after all the hardships also lost its effect, and the various departments were hesitant to advance and retreat under unclear commands, so every time they mobilized the army, they returned in vain.

"This time, under the advice of foreign advisers, General Jing Zhi has come up with a guiding ideology of 'dividing troops and attacking together'; so far, the troops have been divided, but the combined attack cannot be achieved at all, even if yesterday the three divisions of the 18th Army and the five divisions of the Guangdong Army forced the main force of the Red Army to withdraw from the front line in northern Guangdong and re-enter the huge encirclement that looks very good, but they have not achieved the results of striking at the enemy's vital forces, what is the difference between this and the last failed encirclement and suppression?"

Ge Jingen nodded frequently against the map, and when An Yi stopped talking, he waved his hand to let the two staff officers on duty who came up to listen carefully to An Yi's opinions busy himself, and then lowered his voice and said to An Yi: "It's better to be quiet...... This time, the commissioner is very confident in the Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian offensive of General Jingzhi and General Cixiu, and is now drinking tea and talking with the European and American advisers on the deck, looking forward to the scene of victory. ”

"It's okay to be unhappy now, I'm afraid that after failing again, he will regret it even more." An Yi sneered, stared at the map again, and his fingers swiped over Shixing, Nanxiong, and Dayu on the map, and finally stopped on the Meiguan Ancient Road: "What battle report is there here?" ”

Ge Jingen thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "No, at least not yet. General Zhang Xianghua's Fourth Army has entered the front line from Lechang to the east to join the battlefield, and Xue Boling's (Xue Yue)'s newly formed Fifth Army is about to move south from Ganzhou to Chongyi...... How? Why do you attach so much importance to the calm Meiguan Ancient Road? Did you find anything? ”

An Yi raised his head, pointed his finger on the Meiguan Ancient Road, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, if I command the Red Army, after jumping out of the encirclement of northern Guangdong, where should I go?" The most ideal and most unexpected place is to take the Meiguan Ancient Road, where the mountains stretch, the forests are all over, the streams are complex in vertical and horizontal terrain, it seems that there is no way to go, in fact, it extends in all directions, such as here, Dameiguan, it seems that there is only one road to go in the north and south, but as long as you carefully consider each stream, the stream is regarded as a channel, you will find that the southeast and northwest can go.

"As long as you can quietly and silently enter this mountain, the distance between you and the pursuers from all walks of life will be quickly widened, so that the pursuers from all walks of life will not be able to rely on the advantage of firepower and combat readiness and the superiority of troops, and then seek to break through or engage the initiative more. It's so critical here, I don't know if He Jingzhi and his advisory group thought of it? ”

Ge Jingen looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes!" The Red Army, which had no heavy artillery and no baggage, became a major advantage in this terrain. Later, I immediately ordered the Nanchang Air Force to fly over to take a look, and then sent a telegram to Brother Ci Xiu to inquire. ”

"Airplanes? Haha, it's useless to send planes to reconnoiter in that kind of place, I have deeply experienced it. An Yi took out a cigarette and lit it slowly.

Ge Jingen brought An Yi a cup of tea: "Give it to ...... In fact, you should have come back to command this inevitable attack, especially in Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Hubei, Henan region, you are the most familiar, Mr. Wei Caier said that you are the most suitable person to command the bandits, and also said that the first mountain unit of our army was established by you, and it is to make the best use of it to suppress bandits, he has repeatedly asked the commission to transfer you back, before Ren Gong left, he also called the commission, asking if he could seconded you to his right army headquarters, so the commissioner considered again and again or called you back, you are ready, It is likely that you will be sent to the Bengbu front in a few days. ”

An Yi held the cigarette in his right hand, took a puff and slowly exhaled the smoke, and then frowned and asked, "Isn't there a regular mountain brigade in Lu Yixuan's Seventeenth Division?" Why have they achieved nothing in the past year? ”

Ge Jingen smiled bitterly: "It is estimated that it is still a problem of application, in the past few months, they have traveled thousands of miles under the command of General Jingzhi, and they are tired and half dead but they have been in the air again and again, to put it mildly, they have played like a monkey for the Red Army, and the officers and men of the 17th Division are angry about this, and last month the commission finally transferred them to Brother Cixiu's column, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that they will make a difference."

"Compared with other departments, the performance of the 17th Division has been very good, several adventures in the past year can turn danger into relief, the most dangerous one is the encirclement laid by the three divisions of the Red Army** Army in early March, Lu Yixuan is not fooled, decisively occupy favorable terrain in the encirclement, and quickly ask General Jing Zhi to wave his division to flank the right flank of the ** Legion, ** can't eat the 17th Division, and is worried that the right flank will be attacked by our army, and quickly retreat after an hour of onslaught, Lu Yixuan did not dare to chase, and later in the battle report to ** This Huangpu Phase IV junior disciple is full of appreciation, haha! By the way, you are also in the fourth phase, and you can have a relationship with ** when you were in school? ”

An Yi shook his head: "No, we have only met a few times from afar, this guy walks with his head down, every time I greet him, he nods and smiles and goes to do his own thing, because he was very close to his leftist classmates at that time, I have never liked politics, so I try to stay away from the brothers of all factions, now that I think about it, I really feel a little embarrassed!" ”

Ge Jingen smiled: "If you really say it, I'm afraid this time Lu Yixuan will be against ** again, you can come and ...... The 11th Division is here, the 52nd Division is here, and Lu Yixuan's 17th Division is exactly in the main position of the right flank of Brother Cixiu, and dozens of kilometers away is the Meiguan Ancient Road. ”

An Yi pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "Let's imagine that the main force of the Red Army or a part of the main force has infiltrated the area north of Meiguan, if you are the **, where will you start to break the deadlock?" ”

Ge Jingen thought about it for a long time, and decisively pointed to the junction of the 52nd Division and the 17th Division: "If it were me, I would make a fuss in this place, as long as the 17th and 52nd Divisions were repulsed, the entire encirclement of more than 100 kilometers would be broken, and then affect the east and west fronts, forcing the opponent to readjust his strategy, and use the opportunity of the opponent's adjustment to find an opportunity to strike in one or two directions, and if I do a good job, I can make the whole situation even more chaotic."

"However, what will ** think we can't fathom, in the past few years, he has been promoted from a small battalion commander to the commander of the corps, every battle he has fought is remarkable, but there is no trace, his military status and talent are only below Zhu De, and he is slightly higher than Peng Dehuai, this guy is indeed a genius."

An Yi nodded and stared at the map again, muttering as if to himself: "What will this guy do......"

Eight kilometers northeast of Meiguan, Shigongping.

**Standing in front of the map hanging in the main hall of the Shigong Temple, standing still for a long time, the long table spliced in the hall was full of front troops and division commanders, everyone was nervously discussing the enemy situation that was constantly sent back, comparing and comparing with several simple maps on the table, and arguing in a low voice.

At the end of the day, Nie Rongzhen, director of the Political Department of the Front Army, took the document handed by the operational staff officer, and immediately stood up after reading it, walked to the contemplative ** facing the wall, and whispered in his ear: "It has been confirmed that it is the 17th Division led by Lu Yixuan, the elite of the Kuomintang Central Army, who is guarding the key places of Egg Ridge and Jigongzhai. ”

"Is him again?"

** Stunned for a moment, took the document and hurriedly glanced at it: "The combat effectiveness of the 17th Division is extraordinary, the department is adapted from the Ganzhong garrison unit from the independent division sequence, and its 50th Brigade is a mountain brigade equipped with automatic firepower, the officers and soldiers are well-trained, and the combat power is strong, in March, we had a fierce battle with this brigade, and as a result, the six regiments attacked for an hour and finally returned in vain, but paid the heavy price of more than 300 people lost in battle, this time the 17th Division is entrenched on the road we must pass forward, it is not easy to do!" ”

Nie Rongzhen was transferred back to the Central Soviet Region from Shanghai after Gu Shunzhang's rebellion, and he did not participate in the battle in March, but because he served as the secretary of the Political Department and political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, he was very familiar with Lu Yixuan, who was sent to the Soviet Union to study after graduating with excellent character and learning. What do you think? ”

** Stared thoughtfully at the map: "We must transfer this seventeenth division, a strong attack will not work, our equipment and training are not comparable to them, and they occupy the advantageous terrain, even if they go up to three divisions, they will not be able to gnaw...... Transfer him, you must transfer him......"

"It's not easy!"

Nie Rongzhen also approached the map to take a closer look.

** did not answer, turned around and paced slowly in front of the map, walked back and forth a few times, suddenly raised his head, and saw Li Xiaolong, director of the division's political department and chief of staff, hurriedly walking in, ** stopped and silently looked at Li Xiaolong who walked in front of him.

Li Xiaolong reported in a low voice: "The reconnaissance team of our division encountered a reconnaissance team of the Kuomintang army two kilometers north of Shajiangba, and our reconnaissance team killed four people and wounded five people.

"The enemy reconnaissance team fled with a corpse and two wounded on its shoulder, and from the analysis of their clothing and weapon configuration, it is likely that it is the headquarters of Lu Yixuan of the 17th Division, and among the enemy divisions around us, only Lu Yixuan's 17th Division, which is from an independent division, has a well-equipped and well-trained special service battalion."

**Taken aback: "Didn't expose the traces of my main force?" ”

"I don't think so, our reconnaissance team has all kinds of clothes except for the military cap on its head, which is similar to the Red Guards, and the enemy will not find anything from this." Li Xiaolong replied with some uncertainty.

** Paced lightly again, walked two laps and suddenly turned back: "Xiaolong, give you a difficult task......
