At this point, Mao Rundong said with finality: "Go! Even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we have to break into it. I believe he is a real revolutionary, and he must be a member of our Red Army. However, for safety reasons , I will go alone, Mr. Zhu and Xu Lai will stay here to command the troops, we have to leave a way out."
Mr. Peng said: "I'll go with you! I don't believe he is a bad person!"
Before the others spoke, Mr. Peng said again: "We will take a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people. If they are sincere, we will hand over the sick and wounded to them and transport weapons and equipment back."
Mao Rundong smiled and said: "No! If you want, bring the elite troops. We must quickly get weapons and ammunition from Zhang Pingkai and Peng Zhufeng before Guo Zhuocheng arrives in Guiyang City, and at the same time get the city defense of Guiyang City." .Only in this way can the initiative be in our hands, and we can see whether he is sincere or not."
Boss Zhu thought for a while and said, "Old Mao, are we going too far in doing this? We obviously don't believe them. Even if Guo Zhuocheng doesn't have any objections, other comrades under him will."
Mao Rundong said disapprovingly: "They are powerful. If they don't hand over this little initiative, we are not opponents of the same level at all. How can he gain our trust? Moreover, those of you who stay here must be prepared. Once we gain control in Guiyang, you must immediately enter the city and change your clothes immediately. In this case, we will take the initiative in everything, and we don't have to worry about whether Guo Zhuocheng is playing tricks."
As he spoke, he smiled and said: "Now we may have too many worries. We are scaring ourselves. Guo Zhuocheng may not be wary of us in the slightest. However, as long as he is not wary of us, I believe he will understand us. Action, that's it, no matter how much we discuss, there is no best way, just send a report to Guo Zhuocheng immediately."
There is really no need for Guo Zhuocheng to be wary of them. His purpose in coming to this time and space is to help, in order to make the Red Army stronger and grow at a much faster rate than in history. Otherwise he would not have sent a telegram asking them to stay. They will not take the initiative to hand over Peng Zhufeng's logistics brigade to the main Red Army with weapons, ammunition, military supplies, and people and belongings.
Of course, he was not completely wary, but what he was wary of was his own safety. He was wary of those who followed the Soviet Union and Wang Ming, and worried that they would assassinate him. To this end, he established the gendarmerie and arranged for Chen Peng, Sun Xingguo, Luo Xi and others to take command of key units.
After defeating the Xue Yue Corps this time, Guo Zhuocheng immediately arranged for the strongest first division to go to Chongqing. On the one hand, he ensured that the largest and most strategically important city in Sichuan was captured in one fell swoop, and at the same time, he guarded against the Taxation Corps. counterattack. On the other hand, it is also a kind of support for Guo Zhuocheng and a deterrent to others, because this army is led by Chen Peng. Only Guo Zhuocheng takes orders and fully supports Guo Zhuocheng. Those who want to cheer for Wang Ming and Moscow and want to sneak attack Guo Zhuocheng must first consider whether they can withstand the attack of Chen Peng's first division. Do you dare to risk your own life?
Naturally, Guo Zhuocheng also understands the caution of Mao Rundong and others. If it were him, he would definitely be more cautious. After all, Guo Zhuocheng has the ability to annex them. In this era where having troops brings power, it is normal for you to devour me and I to devour you. If you are annexed by a powerful person, not only will others not sympathize with you, but they will laugh at you and say you are too stupid and naive.
After receiving Mao Rundong's telegram, Guo Zhuocheng immediately called back: ", fully agree with the central government's decision. Comrades Zhang Pingkai, Peng Zhufeng and other soldiers will lead a platoon of soldiers to greet the Chairman and his party, and will immediately hand over the command after the meeting. Stay. The comrades in Guiyang City will arrange living and accommodation places for the main Red Army and make preparations for the handover of weapons and military supplies.
Because I am busy with military affairs and the military situation is urgent, I cannot go to greet him in person for the time being. When the first division of the directly affiliated column takes Chongqing, I will request the central government to leave Zunyi and lead the column leadership team to Guiyang to accept the leadership of the central government. "
This telegram reached Mao Rundong and others, completely dispelling their concerns.
Because Zhang Pingkai, Peng Zhufeng and others only brought a platoon of guards to greet them, regardless of how many troops Mr. Peng brought, it shows that Zhang Pingkai, Peng Zhufeng and others completely trusted them and had no defense against the central government.
But Guo Zhuocheng has been staying in Zunyi and has not come over. He told the central government clearly and unmistakably: He will not interfere with the defense of Guiyang and the troops in Guiyang city, and he will listen to the central government in everything. He will stay in Zunyi until the Red Army, the central force's main force, completely takes over Guiyang before obeying his orders.
As for things like busy military affairs and urgent military situations, commanding the battle to seize Chongqing, etc., these are just steps for both sides to step down. It is enough not to say some things too explicitly, so that everyone understands in their hearts.
? ?Zhuocheng could command the battle to capture Chongqing in Zunyi, and he could naturally command in Guiyang, because his command of the First Division could only be directed by telegraph, which was nearly 100 kilometers away from Chongqing. Or it doesn't matter if it's a hundred kilometers away.
¡¡
Just when Mao Rundong and General Peng led a force to Guiyang to join the logistics brigade led by Zhang Pingkai and Peng Zhufeng, the first division led by Chen Peng had reached the suburbs of Chongqing after an arduous journey.
Because Xue Yue's regiment was completely wiped out and Hu Zongnan's elite troops were defeated, the entire Chongqing was in a panic. All kinds of news flew all over the sky, and the citizens were even more shocked.
Although no one thought that the Red Army would send elite troops to seize the city, they could not help but be afraid when they thought that so many troops of the Central Army had been annihilated, but the officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps had not yet arrived.
What they fear most is not Guo Zhuocheng's troops, because they all believe that this invincible army must be going to capture Zunyi, Guiyang, and Kunming. What they are most worried about is the "missing" army. Yes, the Central Red Army troops that broke out from the Central Army's encirclement but are now missing.
Since they are missing and Chiang Kai-shek¡¯s Central Army cannot find any trace of them, who knows if they are lurking near Chongqing? Who knows if they will take advantage of it.
Many businessmen began to pack up their belongings and prepare to escape, while the officials kept begging Shangguan and the Tax Police Corps to speed up their advance and come to Chongqing earlier for defense.
They didn't know that just when they were panicking, some special forces of the column directly under the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the scouts of the First Division had disguised themselves as various people and quietly sneaked into the city, began to collect various intelligence, and occupied some important positions. Prepare for Chen Peng's first division to enter the city.
As a result of collecting intelligence, Chen Peng and others found that they were a little too cautious, and the defensive strength of Chongqing City was really not worth mentioning. There were less than one regular regiment of defenders inside, and they, like other citizens, were already in panic and were waiting for the tax police headquarters to arrive. They seemed to be breaking pots. They did not pay attention to the defense at all, nor did they step up the construction of fortifications. Instead, because of the chaos in the city, many officers and soldiers were invited by senior officials and wealthy households to guard private compounds. The purpose was just to prevent the ruffians in the city from taking advantage of them. They robbed and harassed high-ranking officials like them.
Chen Peng, who couldn't laugh or cry, immediately telegraphed the situation here to Guo Zhuocheng and asked for instructions to attack the city immediately.
Guo Zhuocheng, who was far away in Zunyi, naturally immediately responded and agreed. At the same time, he suggested not to show too much strength and try his best to give the arrogant tax police group the illusion that the Red Army occupying Chongqing was not powerful, so as to attract the tax police. The police headquarters came to try to regain this important town in the southwest.
Because he wanted to show his enemy weakness, Guo Zhuocheng took out the heavy artillery from the time and space storage space and gave it to Chen Peng to use without cheating.
The space Guo Zhuocheng carries with him is not where he can take out the supplies transported from the time and space of 1992, but wherever the troops he leads control, he can carry out supplies on the screen of the space-time control space. extraction and release.
In other words, even in Zunyi, he can provide weapons, ammunition and military supplies to the First Division in Chongqing, and even to the left-behind troops in Ruijin and Ganzhou, as long as someone there blocks a place and prevents them from letting go. As long as people see it.
After receiving Guo Zhuocheng's order, Chen Peng decided to reduce the troops participating in the battle by half, using one and a half regiments to deal with a regiment in the city. The reason why he still used one and a half regiments was that Chen Peng meant to make Chongqing lively. Let's make the guns and artillery sound louder. If we only send one regiment or even two battalions, although we can still capture the city of Chongqing, it will also show that the Red Army does not have many troops here. It will give the garrison, the central army, local officials and the tax police a contrary impression:
The Red Army can capture an important town with only a small number of troops. This combat effectiveness is too strong. If they add more troops from other places and rely on city defense fortifications, how can the Tax Police Corps take it back? There was no hope at all.
Of course, Chen Peng cannot send too many troops. Even if the Red Army in large numbers attacks everything randomly and keeps firing guns and artillery into the sky, its momentum will scare others away.
There was almost no suspense in the battle to capture Chongqing City. When the battle started at dawn on April 10, the defenders did not put up any decent resistance. Although the Red Army's guns did not hit them in many cases, the Red Army's firepower was much stronger than that of the defenders. Besides, the Red Army's show of weakness was a sign of weakness, but there was no reason for them to suffer losses. The most they could do was to fight. The enemy used to only need one bullet, but now it costs five or ten bullets to attack, and sometimes bombards with artillery shells, in order to prolong the time and show the difficulty of the attack.
