The long night quietly departed, and the dawn slowly fell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of the rooster announcing the dawn is transmitted in the morning breeze, hundreds of birds are crying on Wolong Mountain, and Tingzhou City, which has been silent all night, is full of vitality.

In the conference room of the Chengbei Sect Instructor Headquarters, Zheng Yi and others, who had been discussing military affairs all night, finally received a telegram from Tian Antai, the head of the guard regiment, and the brothers who had been worried all night couldn't help cheering, but after learning the content of the telegram, all laughter disappeared.

Zheng Yi saw the worried looks of the brothers, and smiled to cheer everyone up:

"The situation of the Red Fourth Division is indeed very bad, the more than 200 seriously wounded people carried back all the way to Wuping are only more than 170 people left, and I am afraid that there will be sacrifices one after another, but more than 1,400 officers and men of the Red Fourth Division have successfully jumped out of the enemy's encirclement and have arrived at a safe area 28 kilometers southeast of Wuping."

"Except for fifteen wounded brothers, the rest are intact, even without the help of the Red Fourth Division, they can easily capture Wuping County, which is empty of troops!"

"So, please don't worry too much."

The brothers sat down again in relief, and Li Zhao took the lead in saying: "Then follow the instructions of the head of Tian, immediately gather all the officers and soldiers of the health team, and rush to Wuping with enough medicines and surgical instruments, I want to lead the team myself." ”

"Let's go, I'll call Duan Xuan and ask the third regiment to dispatch two battalions to answer." Wang Huchen stood up,

Li Zhao hurriedly persuaded: "Wait! Let's go, at this time, your role as chief of staff is much more than mine...... The readjustment of the military and political cadres of the teaching brigade needs to be completed as soon as possible, and all the 800 outstanding soldiers drawn from the four main regiments have arrived, and the training of new recruits and the work of recruiting cannot be stopped for a moment...... These are inseparable from you and Yaozi. ”

Dong Zongzhuo, director of the Political Department who had just arrived, stood up: "Political Commissar, the work of our Political Department is basically arranged, and I will go with you." ”

Zheng Yi groaned slightly, motioned for everyone to sit down first, and then said: "Let the political commissar go, and the various ministries going south to Wuping will be under the unified command of the political commissar." Huchen, you immediately call Duan Xuan and ask him to personally lead the team, do a good job of safety escort along the way, and absolutely not let a single officer and soldier of the health team encounter danger. ”

"Understood."

Wang Huchen immediately got up and walked to the telephone next to the wall.

Zheng Yi looked at Dong Zongzhuo, who was nervous: "Old Dong, it's okay for you to accompany the political commissar on a trip, bring more battle flags and party flags with you, if other comrades in the Political Department can go away, bring them over together, think of more ways, show revolutionary enthusiasm, and make the soldiers of the Red Fourth Division feel like they are coming home." ”

Dong Zongzhuo stood up again and saluted solemnly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

……

……

As Li Zhao, Dong Zongzhuo and other comrades rushed away, Zhang Yao took a map of the Jiangxi-Fujian border area that had just been drawn, put it on the table in front of Zheng Yi and quickly spread it out, and Wang Huchen and Zhang Yunrui, the chief of the intelligence section, also surrounded them after making the call, looking for the current location of the guard regiment and the Red Fourth Division.

"Twenty-eight kilometers are all mountain roads, and with the current state of the Red Fourth Division, it is very difficult to walk!" Zhang Yao said in a low voice.

Zhang Yunrui has already calculated: "It is a safe estimate that it will take at least six hours to march...... In the past two days, the sun was too vicious, and from 12 noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he could only hide under the shade of the trees to rest, and the attack on Wuping by the guard regiment was estimated to drag on until the evening. ”

Wang Huchen nodded: "It does take six hours, and it takes two sections to walk, but it will be easy when you get to Wuping." Wuping has only one battalion of rabble, and they are all local landlords and powerful armies, and the guard regiment only needs to concentrate its firepower to charge and fight, and it can be taken down with a single charge. ”

"Tingzhou to Wuping is nearly a hundred kilometers away, and it will take at least a day for the political commissar to lead the team to Wuping, and it is estimated that it will not arrive until noon tomorrow, Duan Xuan can't participate in the battle against Wuping." Jang Yunrui joked with a smile.

Wang Huchen was also happy: "He can definitely think of this, don't look at this guy's usual big grin, he is better than a ghost when calculating." ”

Zheng Yi was not worried at all about whether he would be able to take Wuping, let alone any accidents of the Red Fourth Division and the Guard Regiment that had already jumped out of the encirclement of the Guangdong army, so he turned his head sideways and said:

"Yaozi, you should send another telegram to Shangguan Yong, ask him when the second batch of supplies will be delivered, and if there are difficulties, or if there are any variables on the road, you should also call to inform him."

"Now everyone don't think about Wuping's side, the enemy is poorly equipped and has lax training, and he can't even count as a security regiment, so he should win the battle...... Let's think about the overall situation now. ”

"I'll go."

As soon as Zhang Yao left, Wang Huchen and Zhang Yunrui both realized that they were anxious, looked at each other and smiled and sat down to drink tea, waiting for Zheng Yi's orders.

Zheng Yi threw a pack of cigarettes that had just been opened and sealed in front of the two: "Yunrui, you are responsible for keeping in touch with the Second Regiment that has just taken Xinquan and Miaoqian Town, the main force of the enemy army in Longyan has been assembled for two days, and there is no sign of attacking the Second Regiment so far, this situation is very abnormal." ”

"I believe that Lao Zhao also saw the clue, remember to remind him to pay attention to the enemy's sneak attack, don't let the comrades in western Fujian be in a hurry, and take the initiative to attack......"

"At present, our troops are insufficient, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, maintaining deterrence and containing the enemy has achieved the goal, and after the guard regiment and the third regiment return, we will take an offensive."

"Understood!"

Zhang Yunrui replied in a low voice.

Wang Huchen asked: "Are you attending the military-civilian consultation meeting held this morning?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "No, no, I just slaughtered the two rich businessmen who colluded with the bandits, don't appease those businessmen and the elderly, I can't let them settle down and cooperate with our new government's economic development plan, at least I have to show my face and make a statement, Luo Huaisheng and Comrade Guo Diren also need our army to support them in all aspects." ”

Wang Huchen smiled, hesitated for a long time, and finally said the question hidden in his heart: "After the arrival of the Red Fourth Division, how to define and handle the relationship between the two armies?" The Fourth Red Division's weaponry, replenishment of troops, personnel appointments, political status, and other issues must be considered in advance! ”

Zheng Yi also had a headache, he didn't need to worry about the political status and personnel appointments of the Red Fourth Division, Comrade Peng and the military and political cadres of the Red Fourth Division could solve it by themselves, but it was very difficult to replenish weapons and equipment and soldiers.

During this period, 200 long and short guns were successively allocated to the comrades in western Fujian, and the remaining weapons and equipment of the instructor could only equip two regiments, and the red armed forces that the local party organizations in western Fujian were about to set up only about 800 people, all of whom received basic training in the military camp in the west of the city, and the weapons needed by these people had not yet been secured, and at least 5,000 soldiers would be added in the next two months, and weapons and equipment had become the biggest problem that plagued Zheng Yi.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zheng Yi asked Wang Huchen and Zhang Yunrui for their opinions: "You can also help me think about it, Comrade Wang Haiping proposed to me yesterday afternoon that I should follow the practice of the local party organizations in Hunan Province and Jiangxi Province and join hands to form a 'special committee for the Jiangxi-Fujian Border Region' and make concerted efforts to create a base area in the Jiangxi-Fujian Border Region." ”

"I think this is a good suggestion, the provincial party committee of Fujian Province has not been restored since April 12, and the party organizations in northern Fujian and coastal counties are in a state of independent affairs, and this is also the case in western Fujian, both uprisings failed because of weak forces and lack of unified leadership."

"Therefore, I personally am in favor of setting up a special committee for the Jiangxi-Fujian border region to exercise unified leadership and command over the party organizations and armed forces in various parts of western Fujian."

"However, such a big matter must be approved by the central government according to the organizational principles, but the problem is that we can't get in touch with the central government at present, so I have been hesitant and dare not make my attitude clear!"

Wang Huchen had a feeling that his eyes lit up: "It is a good way to set up a special committee for the Jiangxi-Fujian border region!" Do you have any other thoughts that you haven't spoken? ”

Zhang Yunrui was stunned, not knowing the meaning of Wang Huchen's words.

Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "After Comrade Peng arrives, he may be able to solve this problem, he is an old qualified member of the Central Committee and the Politburo." ”

Wang Huchen nodded frequently: "Yes, Comrade Peng not only has a high political status in the party, but as early as half a year ago, he took the lead in establishing the Hailufeng Soviet Government, which is the first red Soviet power in our country!" ”

"Moreover, there is a precedent on the Hunan side of the province, the special committee for southern Hunan and the special committee for the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas have been established one after another, and the western Fujian side fully meets this condition, and there is no problem in setting up a committee of former enemies in the base area when the base area is established...... Are you worrying too much? ”

Zheng Yi smiled and didn't answer, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and first asked for the opinion of Comrade Peng, even if he didn't mention such a major matter, the comrades in western Fujian would take the initiative to put it forward.

Now Zheng Yi's only distress is that he has been unable to get in touch with the central government, and many things can only be delayed because there is no instruction from the central government.
