The terrain in the north of Sichuan, the lower the south and the highest in the north, the more north, the more steep and dangerous the mountain, to the north of the Tongjiang River, it is even more dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you talk about defensive positions, you can't find anything better than this. In some dangerous places, the Red Army only needed to put up a few companies to withstand the attack of the entire regiment and brigade of the Sichuan Army.
Xu Xiangqian wants to grind Tian Songyao from "severe loss" to "exhaustion" here.
Sure enough, all of Tian Songyao's front-line troops were blocked in the mountains and could not advance one step at a time. Two or three days later, seeing that the morale of the Sichuan army was gradually depressed, Xu Xiangqian gave an order and launched a major counterattack. The Sichuan army was caught off guard and collapsed.
The Sichuan army is known as the "Sichuan Rat" by the outside world, that is, they run faster, whether they attack or retreat. In accordance with the custom of the princes in the melee, Sun Zhen discarded the guns, ammunition, and heavy belongings along the road and let the other side pick them up in order to buy time to run.
Su did not know that the Red Army was not the Sichuan Army, xu Xiangqian ordered that all units were not allowed to clean up the battlefield, but only to fight hard and chase.
In the Red Army series, the Red Fourth Front has always been known for its fierceness and fierceness. As the commander-in-chief, Xu Xiangqian personally joined the chase and chased a forty-mile mountain in one go. Probably running too fast, physical exhaustion is serious, after going down the mountain, Xu Shuai has a headache, holding his head in both hands, and can't speak for a long time.
Such a ferocious pursuit tactic, the Sichuan army has never seen it, and the fierce fox is not to be mentioned. Not only did the large front-line troops collapse completely, but even the few reserves originally placed in the later areas were also crushed by the trend.
Tian Songyao was stunned, he himself was stationed in Langzhong, but including Langzhong, the rear was empty--he had already put all his troops on the front line, and there was no enough troop left to be the general reserve.
What was even more tragic was that until this time, Tian Songyao and Sun Zhen had not figured out the true situation of the Red Fourth Front, and they did not know how many troops the other side had and where they would eventually fight.
The more confused the more panicked, the more panicked the more rudderless, except for fleeing for their lives, neither of them had any tricks.
Outside Langzhong City was the Jialing River, and Sun Zhen ordered a pontoon bridge to be erected for the retreat of the troops. However, when people were unlucky, they did not even help for days, suddenly it rained heavily, the river swelled, and the efficiency of crossing the river was greatly affected, and the collapse of the army on the shore was accumulating more and more, and everyone rushed to cross the river, and no one was willing to stay as a cover.
Wang Mingzhang saw that the situation was not good, and summoned a meeting of all officers above the regimental commander on the spot, hoping that who could carry forward the style of being a defender, but the army's heart had collapsed, and where could such a living bodhisattva be found again, it would be indisputable. Wang Mingzhang had no choice but to fall to his knees with a loud cry and prostrate his subordinates.
It was useless to kowtow, everyone was still running around, no different from the wild bees that had been taken off from their old nests.
Tian Songyao's extremely short months of "golden age" ended. He was ruthlessly retaliated against by the gears of fate, not only once again losing the three counties of Bazhong, but also following the battle of Chengdu Lane, the main force was seriously damaged, and two-thirds of the troops were lost, at least one-third, and even a slightly more complete regiment or company could not be found after the war.
The winter melon was really broken, and Tian Songyao did not say that he was attacking, and even felt difficult to retreat to protect himself, so he had to call Chiang Kai-shek and ask to resign from the "supervision of the suppression of bandits."
