Chapter 318: Stretched (Third Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The question raised by Comrade Peng is very important and very timely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, it is precisely because it is so important that it must be discussed and approved by the Central Political Conference, and a complete set of systematic and meticulous policy decisions can be drawn up in accordance with the actual conditions of each base area, and a complete set of systematic and meticulous policy decisions can be formally promulgated and implemented, so as to exercise unified leadership over the revolutionary armed forces throughout the country.
Therefore, it will be difficult for the members of the Central Committee present here to make a decision for a while.
Although the Sixth Party Congress held in Moscow has been successfully concluded, nearly half of the members have not returned to China and cannot hold a special meeting to make a decision in the near future.
Second, the distance between the central authorities and the various base areas is far away, communication is not smooth, and contact is extremely difficult, and contact has even been severed long ago, making it difficult to have a clear understanding of the actual situation in each base area, and there is also a lack of adequate preparations.
At present, the only thing that can be considered is the revolutionary base area in western Fujian.
Thanks to Comrade Baobao's detailed report and the favorable conditions for the instructors to own a radio station, the new secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Comrade Xiang Zhongfa, chairman of the Military Commission, Director Zhou, and Secretary Li Lisan, who is in charge of the national peasant movement, have a full understanding of the current situation, achievements, and development of the base areas in western Fujian, and have a full understanding of the instructors who have made outstanding contributions and are constantly developing and growing.
At Director Zhou's suggestion, the committee members readily agreed to first discuss the revolutionary armed forces in western Fujian, and in the name of the Central Military Commission, made the following provisional decision:
The "Special Committee of the Jiangxi-Fujian Border Region" was officially renamed the "Special Committee of Western Fujian," and Comrade Wang Haiping was tasked with acting secretary of the special committee, and Comrades Deng Zihui and Zhang Dingcheng were appointed as deputy secretaries to exercise unified leadership over the revolutionary base areas in western Fujian.
In accordance with Comrade Peng's opinion, it was approved to set up a command headquarters for the former enemy in the western Fujian revolutionary base area to exercise unified command over the military operations of all units in the Jiangxi-Fujian border region and the western Fujian base area.
Comrade Zheng Yi was appointed commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters and concurrently commander of the 1st Division, Comrade Li Zhao was appointed political commissar of the former enemy headquarters, Comrade Li Lianshan was appointed chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters, and Comrade Luo Huaisheng was appointed director of the political department of the former enemy headquarters.
In view of the special situation of the Fourth Red Division, the provisional meeting decided to continue to retain the number of the Fourth Red Division, and at the same time instructed the Fujian West Special Committee to complete the expansion of the Red Seventh Army as soon as possible, and to submit the list of commanders and political commissars at and above the division level to the Central Military Commission for examination and approval.
……
……
August 1, 11 p.m.
The instructions of the Central Provisional Conference were sent to Zheng Yi, and Zheng Yi immediately invited Li Zhao, Luo Huaisheng, Wang Huchen and others to convey the spirit of the meeting.
Li Zhao, the political commissar who lived in the backyard of the headquarters, was the first to arrive, and was very surprised after reading the instructions and telegrams from the central authorities: "What's the matter? Comrade Peng was appointed by the Central Committee as secretary of the Central Agricultural Committee and a member of the Military Commission, and at the same time concurrently held the post of secretary of the provincial party committee of the Soviet Province. ”
"yes!"
Zheng Yi didn't know whether it was good or bad for Comrade Peng Peng to stay in the Central Committee, so he slowly lit a cigarette, and his face showed a trace of sadness: "The burden on our shoulders is not light!" ”
Li Zhao put the telegram on the table, pondered for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "The Military Committee asks us to fully support the expansion of the Red Seventh Army and provide maximum help in weaponry and military training, but ...... Can you support it? In addition, does the all-army military pentathlon competition scheduled for 15 August need to be postponed? ”
"It can't be postponed, the notice has been sent to all departments, the two divisions and four battalions stationed in the front line of Ningdu and Ruijin have been conducting special training for two months, and the special service battalions directly under the direct command and the special service companies of the two divisions that will be established urgently need to be replenished."
"If it is postponed, it is likely to delay the upcoming anti-encirclement and suppression operation...... Zhu Peide's two armies have arrived in Jiangbei and will return to Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, in seven days at most, and the 13th Army of the Gui Department has also withdrawn from Beiping and left for Changsha in Hunan Province, leaving us with little time. Zheng Yi explained.
Li Zhao silently lowered his head, hesitated for a moment and said again: "Thanks to the large number of weapons and ammunition captured in the Battle of Longyan, the Red Seventh Army was able to quickly equip a division, and the remaining two Red Guard brigades were mixed with weapons and ammunition, and more than half of them were carrying big swords and shuttles, plus batches of recruits who were constantly sent to the camp in the west of the city, there was a big gap in weapons and equipment!" ”
Zheng Yi had nothing to do about it: "I can only wait for Xu Maofu's reply...... If all goes well, it is estimated that 8,000 Czech rifles will be available by the end of next month, and any more will have to be captured on the battlefield. ”
"We bought two batches of weapons and equipment, more than 3 million rounds of ammunition and medicines, and the nearly one million oceans that we had managed to save were almost exhausted and flowed away like flowing water. If it weren't for the more than 200,000 oceans we left before, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to uncover the pot in a few days......"
"Oops, I almost forgot, did the Red Seventh Army still ask for its own artillery battalion?"
Li Zhao nodded in embarrassment: "Huchen can't help it, most of the eight captured 37 guns and two French 75 mountain guns made in Yuben were distributed to the Red Seventh Army, and only four 37 guns and 5,000 sets of military uniforms were brought back, and the large number of bullets and shells captured were all left in Longyan." ”
Zheng Yi sighed worriedly: "The new Second Division of the Kuomintang in Zhangzhou and the remnants of Zhang Guohui who fled to Zhangzhou may attack Longyan at any time, and the Red Seventh Army cannot face it alone in a short period of time, Duan Xuan's Fifth Regiment still has to stay in Longyan, and the Fourth Regiment has to defend Liancheng, and the Red Fourth Division cannot move in Shanghang and Wuping, once the Ruijin and Ningdu directions fight, they can only rely on the three regiments of the First Division and the four directly subordinate battalions that have not yet completed the expansion, and the strength is stretched!" ”
In the face of such a complicated situation, Li Zhao was also speechless, he knew Zheng Yi's difficulties very well, so he could only work silently and try to share as much as possible for Zheng Yi.
……
……
In just three days, more than 3,500 recruits were sent in succession, once again filling the camp in the west of Tingzhou.
In order to free up barracks and instructors for the recruits, the 1,200 prisoners who returned from Longyan and the more than 700 brothers of the teaching brigade had to be moved to the training base at the foot of Qilin Mountain to carry out basic training and political and ideological study.
What's even more troublesome is that the daily consumption of nearly 7,000 recruits in the West Camp is almost astronomical, and the grain stock that was originally thought to be able to support until the end of the year is now only a month's amount left, and it can only be urgently transported back from the capture of Longyan to bring back millions of catties of grain, but the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, clothes and shoes have not yet been settled, so they can only take out real money to buy from local merchants, and where to raise money and food in the next three months, so far no one knows the bottom.
Li Zhao, who presided over the meeting, first read out the telegram of instructions from the central authorities, and all the participants were in high spirits and expressed their obedience to the orders of the central authorities, but when it came to the difficulties encountered in the expansion of the Red Seventh Army, everyone stopped talking, and all eyes were cast on Zheng Yi's face.
Zheng Yi unhurriedly took out his notebook and laid out the current size of each unit, the situation of weapons and equipment, the shortage that needed to be replenished, the inventory of food and materials, the ammunition consumption for training, the inventory list of the Battle of Longyan, and the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the 7,000 recruits in the camp in the west of the city.
At this time, the comrades attending the meeting were completely silent.
After listening to the sets of solid figures, clearly seeing the huge daily consumption, the food stocks that have been less than a month, the military uniforms, shoes and hats that I don't know where to get back, etc., I understand the weight of the burden that Zheng Yi and his instructor have been bearing.
As a result, the agenda of the meeting became more pragmatic and lengthy, and it lasted until the next day.
