In the early morning of September 7, 1934, the vanguard of the Red Sixth Army was quietly entering Ganxi, until 10:00 a.m., when the Red Army, which had thought it was safe, was suddenly attacked by the main force of the Gui army stationed here, and as the main force of the enemy army appeared, more and more Gui troops hidden on the side gradually surfaced. In the face of a sudden attack, the Red Army's entire unit was cut into three sections.
However, when the enemy army formed a condescending situation against the Red Army and launched a fierce attack on the Red Army, the Red Army also urgently adopted a strategy to carry out a strong attack, tearing open a large opening in the encirclement circle of the Red Army by the Gui Army and breaking through it. At this time, the Gui army found that the frontal attack was not a way to attack the main force that was about to reach Ganxi from the flank, in order to ensure that the main force could smoothly pass through this section of the road, the Red Sixth Army still fought bravely in the face of the encirclement of 24 enemy regiments.
Finally, in the form of guerrilla warfare, he engaged in several days of maneuvering with the enemy in the mountains and mountains, and finally successfully joined the Red Army on October 24, 1934. However, the Red Sixth Army also suffered heavy losses, because in that Battle of Ganxi, the Red Sixth Army's strength of more than 9,000 people before departure was reduced by more than half, and now it is less than 4,000 people. However, the heavy losses of this battle also contained the actions of the main forces of Gui and Xiang, and reduced the pressure on the main forces of the Red Army.
The commander of the Red Sixth Army also expressed the tragic situation of the battle at the end of this battle, and regarded Liao Lei, the commander of the Gui Army, as an enemy. At the end of the Battle of Ganxi, Liao Lei did not stop there, but rushed back to Guangxi according to the orders of his superiors and immediately intercepted the Central Red Army. In early December, the Red Army had already crossed the Xiang River, and Liao Lei, in order to prevent the Red Army from entering the hinterland of Guangxi from the south, continued to attack the Red Army from the north, while preemptively occupying the key areas leading to the southwest and west of Guangxi.
The Red Army was finally forced to turn around and detour into Guizhou under the constant persecution of Liao Lei's army. Liao Lei led his army on many occasions to obstruct the red army's behavior and line, which had a huge impact on the Red Army and had long become a mortal enemy in the eyes of our army, but after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liao Lei, who was once regarded as an enemy by our army, was able to gain the respect of our army, all because he had a patriotic heart.
For example, at the time of the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Liao Lei had just been promoted to the position of commander of the army, and sitting in this position, he could have enjoyed the glory and wealth brought to him by the rights in the rear, but he did not care how far away Songhu was from him, and resolutely rushed to the battlefield, and after two months of urgent travel, Liao Lei, who was already a little tired, immediately threw his troops into the war of defending his family and defending the country.
In the Battle of Wuhan, due to the loss of Wuhan, the Kuomintang's combat strength also gradually retreated from eastern Guangxi to the west, and at this time, Dabie Mountain was left alone and fell into the control of the enemy. However, at this time, the Japanese army also gradually dispersed with the expansion of the occupied territories. When the Japanese army's strength to guard Dabie Mountain was somewhat reduced, Liao Lei took advantage of the fact that the enemy army was in a weak state to clear the enemy troops around Dabie Mountain, and then launched an attack on the Japanese army on the basis of Dabie Mountain to recover the lost territory.
For the plan to recover Wuhan, Liao Lei made a detailed layout and planning, but unfortunately, when Liao Lei had not yet realized his desire to recover Wuhan, he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in 1939, and before his death, Liao Lei did not leave too much but only a word, and must not let the Japanese army step into Dabie Mountain. In the face of Liao Lei's behavior of resisting the Japanese army at all costs in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was deeply respected by many generals of our army.
