长征途中曾希圣献奇谋二渡乌江

Zeng Xisheng's Clever Strategy in Crossing Wujiang River the Second Time in the Long March

1935年3月底,红军在四渡赤水之后,准备南渡乌江,经贵阳入滇渡金沙江入川,汇合四方面军,但在乌江渡口遇险,南岸有三个师的敌军,北岸有六个师的敌军,南北之敌距离红军都不远。如果敌人发现红军主力在此渡江,势必会南北夹击,红军首尾不能相顾,必将是一场恶战,可能给红军造成巨大伤亡。关键时刻,军委二局局长曾希圣献奇谋代替“蒋总司令”行令,假冒蒋介石密电,命令国民党军周浑元、吴奇伟纵队远离红军在乌江北岸的渡河点,这样,红军就可以赢得时间安然渡江。毛主席同意代蒋介石发电报调动敌人,国民党军果然上当,对假电报深信不疑,远离了红军渡江地点,红军安然二渡乌江,跳出了敌人的包围圈。

At the end of March,1935,after crossing Chishui four times,the Red Army prepared to cross the Wujiang River,march into Yunnan via Guiyang,and then cross the Jinsha River into Sichuan to converge the four front armies.However,the army was confronted with danger when there were three enemy divisions on the south bank and six on the north bank and they were both not far away from the Red Army.If the enemy found that the main force of the Red Army was crossing the river here,it was bound to be a flanking attack.The Red Army could not guard both ends,so it would be a fierce fight and great damage could be done to the Red Army.At the critical moment,director of the Second Bureau of the Military Commission Zeng Xisheng came up with a strategy to issue a fake order of"Commander Chiang",that is,counterfeiting Chiang Kaishek's secret telegraph to order Zhou Hunyuan and Wu Qiwei columns of the Kuomintang army away from the Red Army's crossing point in Wujiang River,so that the Red Army could win time to safely cross the river.Chairman Mao agreed to issue the order to deploy the enemy in place of Chiang Kaishek.The Kuomintang army was taken in without any doubt of the telegraph and moved away from the crossing point,so the Red Army crossed Wujiang River the second time safely and got out of the encirclement of the enemy.
