Zhu De, Chen Changhao, and Xu Xiangqian sent a telegram to Wang Shusheng and Li Xian on the operational principles of attacking Mingshan

(November 14, 1935)

Wang Shusheng, commander of the Central Column, and Li Xiannian, political commissar of the Central Column:

Zhan Caifang, political commissar of the Thirty-first Army (1), led the 274th Regiment and the 279th Regiment to the Zhongli field yesterday afternoon, and one of them marched toward Lotus Mountain and Mengding Mountain. Ye Sung-hwan's (2) department had reached the left bank of the Yazhou City River.

The Sichuan Military Instructor Zhang Jiecheng Brigade (3) retired to Yazhou, the pontoon bridge of the Tsing Yi River was broken, and most of the Sichuan Military Instructor retreated to the famous mountain.

The 267th Regiment of the 89th Division (on the 11th to Feixian Pass to pursue Guo Xunqi's division) and most of the Fourth Army could concentrate on Lushan Mountain and increase your side through Luosheng Mountain (the 267th Regiment and another battalion, against Guo Xunqi's two brigades at the Lingguanxi Case Heights, the enemy retreated at night, immediately followed in pursuit, but for the enemy rearguards, the most wrong thing was to misunderstand with the Fourth Army and miss an hour or two, ). The 269th Regiment opened five mouths tomorrow through Qinglongchang.

(b) Liu Xiang's one, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and Pan (4) brigades consisted of six brigades, concentrated in the qiongzhou and Pingluoba areas, with reinforcement or attack attempts. Zhou Lu (5) is not accurate in retiring from ZhuJiachang.

Li Jiayu (6) The enemy's three regiments were at Jiamen Pass, one battalion of Tiantai Mountain, and two battalions of triangular weirs.

According to last night's intelligence news: Guo Shi (7) remnants withdrew from the new store.

(c) How far have you destroyed the enemy in the famous mountains? Is it easy to fight if there are enemies in famous mountains? Make quick and detailed announcements so that action can be decided without delay. Regardless of whether mingshan is occupied or not, it is always necessary to concentrate troops, first seek opportunities in the field, and completely destroy the remnants of Yang and Guo, and if this is not possible, then quickly assemble the main force to clamp the front, prepare to advance in the direction of Li Jiayu, and attack the enemy (reinforcements) from the direction of Qiongzhou, and send a small unit to operate on the Ming and Qiong avenues.

(D) The radio station should contact us more to report, do not make a mistake.

According to the above cable, the diary of Zhao Rong, the supply minister of the Thirty-second Army, is inaccurate and should be November 11?

Diary of the Long March (excerpt) – Zhao Rong

November 14, 1935 Thursday of the 19th day of the 19th lunar month Qing Lushan Xin'anpu Zhushi Bridge

In the morning, we have a half-day break in the sky and leave at 2 p.m.

After our Thirty-second Army captured Jintang and Tianquan, it was ordered to pass through mei weaving field (imperial insult field) and Sanjiangkou to the camp of Zhushiqiao, which was southeast of Lushan, and prepare to cooperate with the Zhonglu Palace to attack Lushan. Today the journey is 40 miles.

Lushan is home to most of Liu Xiang's Yang Guozhen sect teachers. The Red Ninth Army, the 30th Army, and the 31st Army of our Central Route Army are besieging the county seat of Lushan County. The Red Fourth Army of the current Right Route Army was also reassigned to the Middle Route Army, supposedly in order to quickly capture Lushan in order to concentrate its forces and capture Chengdu.
