Entering Hunan? Mao Zedong objected

In June 1928, after the great victory at Longyuankou, the Kuomintang army in Jiangxi was severely damaged and it was difficult to launch an "offensive and suppression" for a while, so the Red 4th Army seized the opportunity and decided to divide the troops into new occupied areas and mobilize the masses to deepen the agrarian revolution and expand the red areas.

For a time, the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area was full of vitality and the situation was very good.

However, the arrival of the two people caused a major crisis in the Jinggangshan base area.

On the 30th, Yuan Desheng and Du Xiujing of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee brought two urgent instructions, once again criticizing the practice of the people of Jinggangshan hiding in the mountains as too conservative, and instructing the Red 4th Army to develop in the direction of Hunan without hesitation and attack Zixing, Leiyang, Yongxin, Chenzhou and other places in order to "solve all military, financial, and political difficulties."

Contents of the first letter

Xianggan Border Special Committee:

After the provincial party committee decided that after the Fourth Army attacked the Yongxin enemy army, it immediately developed towards Shonan, leaving Comrade Yuan Wencai with a battalion to defend the mountain, and the Twenty-eighth Regiment allocated two hundred guns, armed lotus and Yongxin peasants, and vigorously expanded the organization of the Red Guards, implemented red martial law, and used the strength of mass combat to prevent the enemy's incursion. As a result, the Border Division of Xianggan and Gansu with workers and peasants as the main body was caused. Among comrades is the correction of the view of dependence on the Red Army. We should actively enhance the self-confidence and creativity of the masses. Essential! Essential!

Comrade Zedong had to go with the army, and the province appointed Comrade Yang Kaiming as the secretary of the special committee, Comrade Yuan Wencai to participate in the special committee, and designated Lotus to send two of the most capable comrades to work in the special committee, and the rest remained the same.

For details, see the Provincial Party Committee Notice. And The inspectors of the provincial party committee, Comrade Du and Comrade Yang Kaiming, explained everything in person.

This salute

Hunan Provincial Party Committee June 26

The general content of the second letter:

According to the plan of the second armed uprising in Hunan, the Red Fourth Army was required to "first solve the enemy army of Yongxin, and then kill a bloody road to develop towards Zixing, Leiyang, Yongxing, and Chenzhou in Hunan." Only by adopting such an active development policy can all military, financial and political difficulties be resolved. Moreover, it is possible to solve the situation of the enemy's two "encirclement and suppression" attempts." Demanded that the Red Fourth Army "execute immediately without hesitation!"

The instruction came too suddenly. As Mao Zedong said, he was most afraid of "the blind command of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and the qincha minister flying all over the sky." Zhou Lu, who was appointed by the Shonan Special Committee last time, brought great trouble.

At the Yongxin joint meeting, Mao Zedong refuted the completely unrealistic considerations of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, believing that by overestimating the combat effectiveness of the Red 4 Army and underestimating the strength of the Hunan warlords, it should develop to Jiangxi, where the Kuomintang is weak, in order to accumulate strength.

To this end, Mao Zedong, Chen Yi, and others argued on the basis of reason, and also wrote a long letter to the provincial party committee stating the interests and stakes.

Hunan Provincial Party Committee:

Comrades Yuan Du and Du arrived in Yongxin at the same time on June 30, and the notice of the provincial party committee and the central government's resolution on Hunan work were received.

That is, on the evening of June 30, the Special Committee, the Central Military Commission, and the Yongxin County CPC Committee held a joint meeting to discuss the letter from the provincial party committee, and comrades Yuan du and Du both participated, and decided that the Fourth Army should continue to carry out in-depth mass work in the counties bordering Xianggan and Gansu and build and consolidate the base areas.

With such a base area, if it pushes further toward Hunan and Gansu, the Red Army will consolidate its divided sides wherever it goes, and it will not be easy for the enemy to destroy it. The reasons for this are as follows:

(1) In the Fourth Army itself, there are many people who have been accustomed to the wandering life in the past, and they do not like to live in a fixed place, and they do the work of mass struggle in a difficult way, and they are full of the poison of the Red Army's adventures. In the past month, after many kinds of washing, and at the same time, the masses in Yongxin and Ninggang counties have become widespread, and they have gradually lost their hearts and understood that the policy of the central and provincial party committees last advocating the construction of the Ninggang base camp was correct. If we change them at once and bring the four armies back into the road of wandering and swimming, the transformation of the four armies will be even more difficult. The previous letter from the provincial party committee pointed out that the four armies had turned thousands of miles into battle and were close to liukou, and they must choose a place to rest and capitalize on transformation. This is very correct, it is being followed, and it should not be changed rashly.

(2) In terms of the enemy's situation, the enemy in Xiang Province is very tough, thick and strong, and is not as easy to attack as the Gansu enemy. The enemy was defeated by us four times in a row, his guts were broken, and the army's heart was shaken by the release of prisoners by me. ...... The Xiang enemy, on the other hand, fought with me more than five or six times, and could only repel a small part of it, while the enemy was unscathed and tenacious. Therefore, in order to avoid hard tactics, it is not appropriate to rush to Shonan at this time, and reverse deeper into the enemy's heavy siege, fearing the disaster of the total annihilation of the army. ...... This point does not seem to have been taken into account by the provincial party committee.

(3) Ninggang can become our military base camp, that is, in the mountains are both large and dangerous, the road leads to two provinces, the victory can be defended, the defeat can also run, and the enemy absolutely cannot surround me, if we add the foundation of the party and the masses in all counties, we can really fight a long-term struggle against the enemy. If you easily get out of (Ning) Gang at this moment, "the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs", the four armies are very dangerous.

(iv) This kind of proposition is by no means a conservative concept; in the past there were national uprisings in various places, and once the enemy counterattacked, it was like a river washed in water and defeated. This does not seek to consolidate the foundation, but only to seek the reason of the great momentum. At this moment, we are working hard to rectify this disease, on the one hand to establish a military base camp, on the other hand to build a solid foundation for the future of the uprising in The two provinces of Xianggan and Gansu, and now we are working with all our strength in Yongxin and Ninggang, making progress day by day, and advancing toward the southwestern end of Lotus, Anfu and Ji'an, going deep into the agrarian revolution and creating local armed ,...... The enemy attacks again, and there is a good chance of victory.

(5) Economically speaking, the number of the four armies is so large that the daily vegetable money frugality requires seven hundred yuan abroad. In addition to the burning of the counties in Shonan Province, the economy went bankrupt and the local tycoons were exhausted. Since zhu (de) arrived in Leiyang in February, he has not been able to raise a single article, and only relies on selling tobacco and soil to eat, but at this moment he goes to Shonan to solve economic difficulties, but it is absolutely impossible, and only in The xianggan side can really solve the current economic problems.

(6) The number of wounded soldiers increased to five hundred, and if they wanted to rush to Shonan, the army's heart would collapse, and it would not be able to go, which was also one of the most difficult problems.

According to the above six practical reasons, before the outbreak of the new warlord war, it is not possible to leave Ning, Yong, and Lian for Shonan. Once the foundation here is slightly solid, and the outside can be taken advantage of, the four armies can send out tea, You, Li, and Liu to participate in the general uprising in Xiang Province. At this time, the message with Xiangnannan should be tried to do everything in an effort, in order to echo each other and fight each other.

The above opinion is requested to be reconsidered by the provincial party committee and, according to the current situation, a new decision is made for the purpose of prayer.

Special Committee, Central Military Commission

On July 4, 1928, in Yongxin

(Source: "Documentary of China's Revolutionary War, Agrarian Revolutionary War, and Creation of Revolutionary Base Areas" | Zhang Wenjie, Huang Ying, Published by the People's Publishing House in January 2007)

This letter penetrates the back of the paper and analyzes the situation of the enemy and ourselves, lessons learned, economy, military, and geography in a down-to-earth and rational manner. This style of not blindly following, not being afraid of superiority, and thinking independently was quite valuable at that time.

Just after a small victory, the 29th regiment is going home

In July, at the time when Mao Zedong made a decision to resist the pressure of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and continue to build and consolidate the Jinggangshan base area, seeing that the Communist Party had a gradual trend of becoming bigger, the gansu and Hunan provincial governments began to consult and organize the first joint "meeting and suppression", which was extremely large.

The previous attack on Jinggangshan was basically led by Wu Shang's 8th Army of the Xiang Army and the 31st Army of Zhu Peide's Gan Army, where Yang Ruxuan was located.

At this time, the Second Northern Expedition of the State Government ended, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zhu Peide's 3rd Army, which was moving north with the army, to "quickly transfer back to Ganzhong to suppress the bandits from the north, and extinguish it in a timely manner so as not to burn the plains."

In addition, Cheng Qian, who had recently briefly ruled Hunan for assisting the Gui clan in his crusade against Tang Shengzhi, was already under house arrest and deprived of power by Li Zongren of the Gui clan in Wuhan, and his 6th Army was transferred to Jiangxi to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Jinggangshan.

The Jiangxi side wanted to gather more than a dozen regiments, and the Xiang army took the lead (Zhu Peide's main force needed to return from the Hebei battlefield); Wu Shang, with the 1st and 2nd divisions of the 8th Army, quickly attacked, starting from Chaling and Yuxian, first occupying the city of Ling, then Occupying Ninggang, and directly advancing towards Yongxin, where Mao Zedong was located.

In response, the Red 4th Army adopted the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. Zhu De and Chen Yi led the 28th Regiment and the 29th Regiment to march rapidly, and crossed paths with the Xiang Army, and soon liqueted the county and planned to attack Chaling again. The Xiang army saw that the rear was on fire, and after the Red Army captured The county, it had already returned from Yongxin to the front.

As a result, the Xiang Army's offensive was disintegrated.

The real trouble came, and the 29th regiment was clamoring to go back to Shonan.

This contingent was reorganized from the 3rd Division of the Yizhang Peasant Army, which was established after the Shonan Uprising, and many of these peasants with flat shoulders and darts were "going out for the first time", and the concept of hometown was very heavy, and they were known as "treetop soldiers" - watching the treetops in their hometown as soldiers, they were so far away that they could not see and did not do it. Therefore, they were quite resentful of the decision of Mao Zedong and others to move to Jiangxi:

"We have to take leave to go back to our hometown to harvest autumn, spring and autumn, tired buffalo, this time do not go back, how can a family live?"

"If I don't get a vacation, I have to go back, I don't believe I can cut off my brain!"

"I want to go back to Chenzhou to show off my might."

Taking advantage of Mao Zedong's absence, Du Xiujing took advantage of the situation to directly move out of the "big hat" of the Hunan Provincial CPC Committee and forcibly suppress Zhu De, Wang Erzhuo (head of the 28th Regiment) and others. The two sides quarreled, and the situation was about to get out of control.

Zhu De, Chen Yi, and others saw that they could not be stopped, and feared that the 29th Regiment would go back alone to fight alone and be defeated by the enemy, so they decided that the 28th Regiment and the 29th Regiment would go to Shonan together.

He Changgong, the representative of the 28th League Party, was very angry:

"Du Xiujing, if something happens, I have to cook you!"

3

Du Xiujing wanted to fight, and the price was heavy

The 29th Regiment, which was like an arrow, immediately changed its previous state of "seemingly unable to do it, in groups of three or five, and the pace was messy", and the speed of the march was so fast that the 28th Regiment could not catch up.

On the 24th, outside the city of Chenzhou, this unit encountered two regiments of the Kuomintang army. After all, the 29th Regiment running in front was not a regular unit, and it could not be attacked after hitting two hills, and it needed 28 Regiments to rescue the emergency.

As the main force of the Red Army, the 28th Regiment, which had extremely strong combat effectiveness, quickly defeated the two regiments of the Nationalist Army blocking the road, and at the same time received important information: At this time, the Gui warlords had opened up the two cantons and two lakes, and the newly recruited supplementary divisions of fan Shisheng's department on the Guangdong side were all new soldiers stationed in Chenzhou.

It was actually Fan Shisheng!

Zhu De was a little confused at once, before the intersection of the two we mentioned several times, Fan Shisheng helped Zhu De and the Red Army several times, "Don't fight." Du Xiujing was very insistent.

Fan Shisheng's supplementary division had little combat effectiveness, and the Red Army quickly broke through the city. In the face of the large number of supplies and silver dollars piled up in the city, some of the warriors who had been suffering on Jinggang Mountain for several months were eager to move.

Yang Dezhi, a later founding general and soldier of the special service battalion of the Military Department, recalled:

"Although the discipline of our troops was good, the discipline of the battlefield at that time was not very good. Especially those comrades who have a serious peasant consciousness, baggage, blankets, silver circles, everything is picked up, one by one shoulder and carry a large pile, really do not look like a Red Army, until Commander Zhu Jun entered the city, only to stop this violation of discipline ..."

The 28th Regiment was fine, but the officers and men of the 29th Regiment who returned to their hometown and won the battle did not pay much attention to it, and one by one they were full of booty, and they freely went to the streets to eat and drink, shop, cut hair, take a bath, and watch a play...

Du Xiujing raised his wine bowl and shouted:

"The enemy of Shonan is vulnerable, and the decision of the provincial party committee is extremely correct. We're going to take down the whole of Shonan. ”

Almost at the same time, Fan Shisheng's main force was killed. Originally, the main forces of the two divisions of the 16th Army commanded by Fan Shisheng were stationed more than ten kilometers north of the city at that time.

In the face of the enemy's main force, the Red Army certainly could not resist this.

"Breakout, break through!" Zhu De personally led the machine gun company, covered the troops to cross the bridge, and rushed to kill, the 28th Regiment and the army headquarters all came over, while the 29th Regiment was scattered because it could not be closed everywhere, and most of them were scattered.

The military headquarters ordered the 29th Regiment, which had been cut off, to move to Zixing three times, but they did not listen, did not want to return to Jinggangshan, and ran in rows with the spoils of war in the direction of their hometown Yizhang, which was basically wiped out by the Kuomintang army.

In the end, the 29th Regiment broke through with the large troops, and only a company led by Xiao Ke, a graduate of the Huangpu Ivy Period (hu Shaohai and Du Xiujing, the commanders of the 29th Regiment, had been following Zhu De's army headquarters and had successfully broken through). As one of the first regiments of the 4th Red Army, the 29th regiment system disappeared.

Pursuing the traitors, Wang Erzhuo was poisoned

Those who did not want to return to Jinggangshan to live a hard life were not only Yizhang Peasant Army.

During the breakout, Yuan Chongquan, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 28th Regiment, defected and led 6 companies to Suichuan, which was controlled by the Gan Army. How could the essence of the Red Army be so lost? The regimental commander Wang Erzhu led one of Lin Biao's battalions in pursuit.

When passing through Sha Tin and Guidong to Chongyi Sishun, Wang Erzhu shouted to the village, and Yuan Chongquan in the house suddenly opened fire. The elder died on the spot, and the revolutionary cause suffered heavy losses.

This operation recovered most of the soldiers of the second battalion, basically realizing that Yuan Chongquan was wrong and taking the initiative to return to the organization on the way. Yuan Chongquan and several of his cronies went to Suichuan to surrender the Kuomintang army liu shiyi' troops.

On the other hand, the Jinggangshan base area is in a state of life and death.

In August, Zhu De led the main force of the Red Army to carry out the task of pretending to attack the Enemy in Hunan province, and there was no news; the Nationalist army on the Jiangxi front had completed the assembly of more than ten regiments and launched a fierce offensive against the revolutionary base area of Jinggangshan. Relying on geographical advantages and mass intelligence, Mao Zedong commanded the 31st and 32nd regiments to stubbornly resist the Gan army near Yongxin for 25 days, and finally chose to withdraw to Jinggangshan again due to the disparity in strength.

The county towns and plains of Yongxin, Lianhua, and Ninggang, which had just been occupied not long ago, fell one after another, leaving only Jinggang, the forces of the Red Army on the hills, and the enemy forces under the mountains. The landlords who had been hit before took the opportunity to take revenge, killing and burning, forcing debts to collect rent, and retaking back real estate, causing a miasma of smoke, which was called "August failure" in history.

To make matters worse, a peasant who had burdened the Red Army brigade brought news of Zhu De's defeat in Shonan.

"What, the Twenty-Ninth Regiment was broken up?"

"A whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of people..."

"These are all consequences of the provincial party committee's decision to fight Shonan."

"Every time the bones and eyes are on the horizon, the provincial party committee will come to people, and I think it is uneasy and kind!"

Yuan Desheng, a representative of the Hunan Provincial CPC Committee, was a little embarrassed.

Mao Zedong "snapped" and slapped the table:

"The Twenty-Eighth Regiment can no longer be lost, and I am going to get them back!"

Mao Zedong led the 31st Regiment and the 3rd Battalion, and quickly set out to Shonan to look for the 28th Regiment, while Zhu Yunqing (the leader of the 31st Regiment) and He Tingying (the Party representative) led the remaining 1st Battalion of the 31st Regiment, together with Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo's 32nd Regiment.

Under the pretext of "dispatching", Zhu Peide escaped

On the side of the Jinggangshan base area, it also ushered in the classic War I that was recorded in the annals of the history of the founding of the army.

The Xianggan enemy stepped up its offensive and began the second "meeting", the Gan army advanced from Ninggang to Maoping with 1 regiment, and the Xiang army advanced to Dalong with 1 division.

The situation is urgent.

You may be wondering in front of the screen: Why is there only so many people coming? Is it too confident? Why didn't all the three armies of the Jiangxi side (the 6th, 31st, and 3rd armies) press up? How did Hunan become the main force?

It turned out that the old problem of the Kuomintang was committed again: it was difficult to coordinate the interests of the warlords.

After the commander of the 6th Army, Cheng Qian, became a victim of factional struggle, this unit was forced to come to Jiangxi to "suppress the communists" and rapidly divided internally. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to cut the grass and remove the roots, and at the moment secretly ordered Zhu Peide to eliminate the 6th Army, resulting in heavy losses for the unit, and finally only one battalion broke through to Fujian. That's it. The New 6th Army, which Cheng Qian had painstakingly assembled, was wiped out again (counting the Old 6th Army, this was the second time), and his life entered the darkest hour.

As a standard warlord of the Republic of China, a year ago, Zhu Peide indulged the Nanchang uprising and directly let the rebel army run away in order to let the communist army quickly leave his territory; a year later, he would not damage himself, this time, he went himself.

In order to consolidate his territory in Jiangxi, Zhu Peide was once very attentive to "suppressing the Communists," but the Red Army was too capable of fighting, causing a lot of losses to his family, coupled with the endless occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, and the sharp decline in fiscal revenues.

Zhu Peide couldn't stand it! Considering that Chiang Kai-shek had eighty percent of his intentions to eliminate dissidents by the hand of the Red Army, he decided to escape from Jiangxi on the grounds of the army's deployment.

What is the national army deployment?

After the Second Northern Expedition, the Nationalist government basically completed domestic unification, but in the course of the Northern Expedition, except for Chiang Kai-shek's 1st Army, other non-Chiang factions (such as Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongrenbu) developed to 200,000 or 300,000 people, each occupying several provinces, which has seriously threatened Chiang Kai-shek.

To this end, at the end of June, Chiang Kai-shek catered to the people's mentality of long-term war and peace, and proposed the reduction of troops -- the practice of "cutting the domain" on the grounds of dispatch. Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang and others were naturally unwilling, and after more than 1 month, everyone was busy with their own work and continued to expand their own forces.

Just when the troop reduction and dispatch was in a difficult situation, Zhu Peide, who was tired of "suppressing the communists," jumped out and openly expressed that he would set an example and support the reduction of troops in order to reduce the burden on the state. Of course, he secretly proposed to Chiang Kai-shek that it would be better to transfer him and his subordinates to rich areas such as Jiangsu.

The 3rd and 31st Armies under Zhu Peide's 5th Route Army, which originally had 25,000 men, were reorganized into the 7th and 12th Divisions (completed in September), with a reduction of 10,000 troops. He Jian, Yang Shuzhuang and others followed suit.

Zhu Peide was thus greatly favored by Chiang Kai-shek, saying that he had the merit of "drastically cutting off the masses of the four divisions of the institute, thinking that the generals would be the first." He did not go to Jiangsu, but soon entered the power center of the Kuomintang.

Therefore, we should not expect him to continue to vigorously "suppress the Communists."

Five major defensive lines, layout of the Yellow Ocean Boundary

The pressure on Jinggangshan is a little less. However, the nationalist side still has an absolute numerical and weapons advantage.

Let's take a look at the terrain of the defenders, Jinggangshan has five major sentries (i.e. passes) and 5 small roads leading to the outside:

To the north, the Yellow Ocean Boundary Outpost;

Northwest, eight-sided mountain outpost;

Southwest, double horse stone whistle;

To the south, cinnabar punching whistle;

To the east, the Tongmu ridge outpost.

Among them, the strategic position of the Huangyang boundary is the most important, 17 kilometers away from Ciping in the hinterland of Jinggang Mountain, with an altitude of 1340 meters; from this point to the west, through Dalong can pass through Hunan County; to the north, through Ninggang can be directly connected to Yongxin.

At the same time, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with steep cliffs on both sides, and only a thorny path can be passed in between. In the early morning, the sentinel and the nearby mountain pass and deep valley are often shrouded in thick fog, like a vast ocean, so the Yellow Ocean Boundary is also known as the "Wang Ocean Boundary".

It can be said that by holding the Huangyang Boundary, we have defended Jinggang Mountain.

Mao Zedong was very familiar with the terrain of Jinggangshan and proposed the task and location of building five major outposts (i.e., defensive checkpoints). At present, in the face of the enemy's attack, the military and civilians in the base area worked together to lay 5 lines of defense at the outpost of the Huangyang Boundary:

The first is the "bamboo nail array", which uses a mountain full of bamboo and sprinkles bamboo nails on the more than ten kilometers of mountain road leading to the Yellow Ocean Boundary under the mountain, forming a special defense line, and keeping the enemy's footboard on the eyes;

The second lane is the "tree array", where trees on the mountain are cut down and piled at intersections and obstacles are set up;

The third channel is the dug gully;

The 4th lane is the rolling wood stone;

The fifth lane was a stone bunker built a few months ago, the Red Army's combat position, made of stone and adobe, 80 to 100 cm above the ground, very strong.

In terms of troop allocation, the 1st Battalion of the Red 32nd Regiment held the enemy in the direction of the west of the river in the Maoping area, and the 2nd Battalion held Tongmuling and Cinnabar Chong to guard against the enemies of Suichuan and Yongxin.

The burden of guarding the Huangyang Boundary was handed over to the only remaining main force on Jinggang Mountain, the 31st Regiment. As a result of being taken away by Mao Zedong, only two companies of the 1st Battalion of the 31st Regiment and the machine gun company of the regimental headquarters are currently stationed in the Huangyang Border.

The machine gun company, whose name became loud, actually only had about twenty people plus two machine guns, and the bullets in each soldier's hand were only two or three rounds. Due to the shortage of materials in the base area, even a few blankets could not be found, so everyone stood guard at night, and could only get together to keep warm and find thatch to keep warm.

On the morning of August 30, the sun rose in the east, the fog cleared, and a series of squirming black dots began to appear on the sheep intestine trail below the mountain--the Xiang army began to attack.

Due to the steep slopes of the mountain and the cliffs on both sides, the Xiang army could only form a fish-like scattered line along the path, climbing up one by one, and even maintain a certain distance between each two soldiers, otherwise they could not shoot.

In this case, although the enemy has an absolute superiority in numbers, it is difficult to display real combat power. Because they are held back by obstacles such as bamboo nails, from time to time people are stabbed and scream.

The Red Army on the mountain saw it very well, but because there were not many bullets, it could only wait for the Xiang army to approach, so it ordered the release of rolling wood and stones, and at once the Xiang army killed and wounded more than 20 people, and retreated one after another.

Niu Yue, commander of the Xiang Army, who oversaw the battle:

"How many pieces of wood and bamboo nails have scared you like this?" This shows that the Red Army garrison is empty. Pass on my orders, it doesn't matter if you die, the mountain must be taken down for me! ”

But this day's attack still did not work, and many people were smashed to death.

7

The hand-bladed traitors defeated the Xianggan coalition forces

Early the next morning, the commander of a company of the Xiang Army came to report with an iron barrel he had picked up:

"It turned out that the Red Army did not have machine guns, and they set off firecrackers inside iron barrels to scare us."

At this time, the Xiang army was energized, and immediately launched a fierce offensive, pushing the battle line upwards more and more.

Gradually, the red army's gunfire became sparse—by this time there were few bullets left, and only stones and wood could be thrown continuously.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder sounded in the air, shaking the HuangYang Realm straight ahead.

"The communists have fired!"

"No, of the four regiments of the Red Army, only the 28th Regiment, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, has guns!!!. I'm afraid that the main force of Zhu Mao has returned, quickly withdraw, quickly withdraw!!! ”

The Xiang army ran very fast, and actually ran directly back to The County.

In fact, Mao Zedong had only been gone for a few days, and it was impossible to return to Jinggangshan with the main force of the Red Army at this time.

So, what's going on with this cannon shot?

Liu Shi (a party representative of the Main Combat Company of the Huangyang Boundary Defense War) who participated in the battle that year recalled:

"At about 4 p.m., we also brought the mortars that the 28th Regiment had left at the Ciping Repair Factory to repair; the cannons were captured from Xu Kexiang some time ago, and not only were the cannons repaired at the repair center, but there were only three shells, and the situation was urgent at that time, so no matter whether it was three or seven twenty-one, we lifted them up, and the first round went out and went dumb; the second shot was still silent; the last shot, but it hit near the command post of the Xiang Army, and the loud noise shocked the enemy, thinking that the main force of the Red Army had arrived, but it was actually frightened and ran away directly."

A regiment of the enemy Wang Junbu, Wen Xiang's army had fled back to Hunan, and did not dare to rush to attack, and also quickly retreated.

The siege of Jinggangshan was lifted.

On the other hand, Mao Zedong and Zhu Debu met in Guidong, took the road of Chongyi and Shangyou, and arrived at Huang'ao in Suichuan on September 8. The team had intended to return to Jinggangshan, but did not want to get news from Yuan Chongquan, the traitor who had killed Wang Erzhuo, who had surrendered to Liu Shiyi and was appointed chief of staff of the division, intending to lead the enemy army to attack. The traitor also uttered wild words: Last time I killed Wang Erzhuo, this time I will take Zhu Dexiang's head again!

Lin Biao, the new commander of the 28th Regiment, said bluntly: Don't go back to Jinggangshan, first take Yuan Chongquan's dog head!

Lin Biao, who was the commander of the 1st Battalion at the time, and Wang Erzhuo, the commander of the regiment, went after Yuan Chongquan together, and it can be said that Wang Erzhuo died in front of Lin Biao's eyes, how could he not hate?

On September 12, the Red Army encountered Liu Shiyi's forces. Under the anger, our army fought bravely, and Liu Shiyi's troops were not opponents at all, and they could not collapse in a moment. The Red Army not only killed the traitor Yuan Chongquan, but also captured more than two hundred people, and the remnants of Liu Shiyi abandoned Suichuan and ran to Ganzhou.

The Red Army took a break and returned to Jinggangshan on 26 September.

Mao Zedong, who learned of the great victory in the Huangyang realm, also gladly wrote "Xijiangyue Jinggangshan":

The flag is in sight at the bottom of the mountain, and the drums and horns at the top of the mountain are heard.

The enemy was besieged for thousands of times, and I stood still.

Barriers have long been tightened, and more united in will.

The cannons on the Huangyang Boundary roared, reporting that the enemy was at night.
