Southern guerrilla warfare: I led the Red Seventh Army Corps to amassed a million troops.

The first to complete the evacuation of the Nationalist Army was actually the Air Force stationed at Quzhou Airport.

This force, whether through fighting or negotiation, the Red Army could not obtain even a tiny bit of.

They currently lack both air force and air defense weapons, so they are indeed helpless against these iron birds flying in the sky.

During the negotiations, the Nationalist army demanded that the Red Army not disclose specific information about the operation to the outside world.

It must be guaranteed that the information will not be released to the public for at least one month!

We cannot unilaterally declare that the Red Army has won the victory.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhou Zeyuan made a demand, wanting to pry a complete airplane out of their hands.

But the Nationalist army sternly refused!

Zhou Zeyuan's plan failed. After consulting with the Central Committee, he sent another telegram in plain text, announcing the great victory in Quzhou!

However, the Kuomintang air force didn't leave them with absolutely nothing; at least they left them a complete airfield.

Although the planes and pilots were evacuated, the traces of their combat operations were not erased in the haste.

Zhou Zeyuan ordered the establishment of the Air Force Research Department. From now on, all remaining blueprints, maintenance tools, fuel and spare parts at the airport must be inventoried and sealed. No equipment or damaged parts left at the airport are allowed to be leaked.

More importantly, the Red Army also had a Nationalist pilot in their hands. They could use his expertise to dismantle the aircraft structure, understand the take-off and landing procedures and the logic of aerial combat, and build a basic aviation theory system from scratch.

They couldn't build airplanes in a short time, but they could at least figure out the enemy's take-off and landing patterns and bombing tactics, and also explore simple air defense countermeasures.

As evening approached, the Nationalist army's retreat continued, and Zhou Zeyuan reported the operational plan discussed by the Seventh Red Army Corps to the Central Committee.

Late at night, the Central Military Commission of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in southern Hunan sent a tactical analysis report, requesting the 7th Red Army Corps to review the report and then revise its operational plan.

The signature reads: Zhu!

This time, the signature is only his, which basically confirms that this is a tactical analysis personally written by the boss.

The reason for this is that every combat order issued by the Central Military Commission, including the order for the Northern Expeditionary Anti-Japanese Vanguard to advance into southern Anhui, had to include the name of the commander-in-chief.

Regardless of whether this was his original intention or not.

At least nominally, he was still the highest leader of the military, and according to organizational procedures, all military orders had to be issued by him.

Whether there are other political considerations involved remains unknown.

Therefore, Zhou Zeyuan always pays extra attention to the signature.

If other people's names are included in the signature, it can be basically concluded that the telegram has nothing to do with the boss.

In his current situation, he only has the right to sign, but not the right to make the final decision!

Getting back to the main point, this tactical assessment, based on existing intelligence, makes the most reasonable analysis of the next move of the National Army.

He believed that the next operational direction for the National Revolutionary Army should be to block the west and attack the east.

The specific reason is that the main force of the National Revolutionary Army is now divided between the two provinces of Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

Nominally, the Nationalist army in Jiangxi Province still had more than 20 Central Army troops, as well as some local warlord troops such as the Hunan Army and the Guangdong Army, which could be mobilized. It seemed that the army was well-equipped and powerful.

In reality, a large number of their troops were tied down in the Central Soviet Area, the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Soviet Area, and the surrounding guerrilla zones in various places.

Troops were to be stationed in strategic locations such as Nanchang, Fuzhou, and Jiujiang, and the warlord troops were more obedient to orders than to orders, harboring disloyal intentions.

The Central Army in Jiangxi guarded against them even more than it guarded against the Red Army.

Because the remnants of the Red Army had effectively lost the ability to threaten the security of the Central Army, but if the warlord forces betrayed them, they could deliver a fatal blow.

The complex situation in Jiangxi, where various forces were intertwined, made the Kuomintang hesitant to allocate too many troops to encircle and suppress the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi base area and the Seventh Red Army Corps.

On the contrary, they were worried that the Seventh Red Army Corps would break through the frontal blockade, march back to Jiangxi, and join forces with the Central Soviet Area!

Although the Nationalist army in Zhejiang numbered only a little over 100,000, this was the core territory of the Kuomintang, with a pure and unified military command. With its forces concentrated in western Zhejiang, there were no fatal hidden dangers!

At the end of the telegram, the commander-in-chief gave his solution: if the Nationalist army is blocking us from the west, then we should use a small force and second-line militia to pretend to break out to the west, while actually deploying the main force on the eastern front!

When dealing with the main force of the Nationalist army on the eastern front, we should not act recklessly. We should first divide their forces, then let their morale soar, and finally lure them deep into our territory before trapping them.

The specific operation was that after the main force of the National Revolutionary Army began to advance towards the base area.

We must resist step by step from the front, but the resistance should not be too strong, lest it arouse suspicion among the Nationalist army.

Subsequently, a force from the Huangshan base area marched north, bearing the designation of the 19th Red Division, bypassing Xuancheng, and marched with great momentum straight towards Wuhu, making the appearance of attacking Nanjing! This was the first route!

Then, a portion of the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi base area set out from north of Chun'an, secretly marched, launched a surprise attack, captured Lin'an, and subsequently announced the designation of the 7th Red Army Division. They marched eastward with great fanfare, making it appear as if they were about to capture Hangzhou! This was the second route!

Finally, Comrade Ye Fei led a part of the 12th Red Army, and mobilized as much local militia as possible to bolster their forces, and marched north to attack Wenzhou. (They feigned an attack on Xikou in Fenghua, but the commander-in-chief was too embarrassed to say it aloud.)

This is the third route!

With three armies feigning an attack, it's impossible for the principal not to lose his composure.

Once the principal directly intervenes in the front-line command, our army should seize the opportunity decisively, send the entire army forward, and fight the National Army to the death.

Zhou Zeyuan's thinking speed was comparable to that of a humanoid computer. In the instant after reading the telegram, he reviewed the entire deployment in his mind.

When he looked up, he found that Su Yu and Xun Huaizhou were still engrossed in the telegram, and their expressions were becoming increasingly surprised.

Su Yu was deep in thought with her brows furrowed, while Xun Huaizhou's eyes widened as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Zhou Zeyuan's lips curled into a smile, his tone laced with a hint of mockery: "Hey, you two, give us your opinion, what do you think of the boss's skills?"

Su Yu raised her head and gave a wry smile: "How could I be qualified to comment on the boss? But... this plan is truly excellent. It makes the most of our resources and outmaneuvers the enemy perfectly."

"The three-pronged attack, along with the luring of the enemy, was linked together in a coordinated manner, with almost no soldiers wasted."

Xun Huaizhou straightened up and let out a long sigh, as if he had unloaded a part of the heavy burden on his shoulders.

"It's not a matter of extremes, the problem lies in the overall perspective. I can see that Comrade Ye Fei's journey has already touched the edge of the overall perspective."

"Compared to before, it's a big improvement. But it still can't compare to the boss's level. He's handsome, we..."

He pointed to himself and Su Yu, "For now, we're just generals."

Upon hearing the word "temporarily," Zhou Zeyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his tone carried a hint of amusement: "Temporarily? It seems you have high aspirations, Old Xun."
