At 4 p.m. on June 25, 1928, the 4th Division of the Red Army, which had worked hard and made remarkable efforts, arrived in Tingzhou and was warmly welcomed by more than 20,000 military and civilian personnel and representatives from all walks of life in Tingzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zheng Yi, the instructor and teacher, and Wang Haiping, Luo Huaisheng, the responsible comrades of the local party organizations in western Fujian, led hundreds of military and political chiefs to welcome them out of the ten miles.

The enthusiastic cheers and the festive sound of gongs and drums endured for a long time, and hundreds of battle flags and party flags were waved in the wind, and the officers and men of the oncoming Red Fourth Division were extremely excited when they saw all this, and they could not help but hold their heads high and could not help but speed up their advance.

Comrade Peng and Division Commander Yuan Guoping turned over and dismounted from a distance, and walked towards Zheng Yi and others who were striding in stride, and their big hands were tightly clasped together.

Comrade Peng hugged Zheng Yi, and tears rolled down his eyes: "Comrade Zheng Yi, I thought I would never see you again in this life......"

Zheng Yi was also excited, hugged the surging hard before slowly parting, and the tiger eyes were tearful: "Comrade surging is much thinner than before, and your body is full of bones." ”

Comrade Peng quickly wiped away his tears, took Zheng Yi's hand and laughed: "What's the point of being thinner, surviving is victory!" Ha ha....... Come on, come on! Let me introduce you first, this is Comrade Yuan Guoping, commander of the Fourth Red Division, you should know him. ”

Yuan Guoping whispered thanks to the enthusiastic Wang Huchen, walked quickly to Zheng Yi, and saluted uprightly: "Instructor Zheng, Yuan Guoping, a student of the fourth phase of Huangpu, greets you!" ”

Zheng Yi was pleasantly surprised, took Yuan Guoping's saluted hand, and looked up and down: "I have the impression that the outstanding students of the fourth political department, the captain of the propaganda team of the Iron Army, are now the division commanders of our revolutionary army, amazing!" By the way, Huchen, you all graduated from the same class! ”

Wang Huchen on the side said with a smile: "I know Duan Xuan, Lao Han and Comrade Yuan Guoping, and many of the students of the fourth phase of Huangpu are now in our revolutionary ranks, but during the study period of the Huangpu Military Academy, we strictly abide by your orders and dare not deal with the Communist Party students, so a few of us have not said a few words to most of the students of the fourth phase of Huangpu." ”

Everyone laughed, and Yuan Guoping's nervous mood completely calmed down, and there was no longer the slightest sense of estrangement when she first arrived.

Li Zhao, who came over in a hurry, reminded loudly: "Everyone, more than 200 wounded and sick are still behind the team, should we go back first and settle the wounded?" ”

Where is the reason for people to disagree? Immediately turned over and rushed back to Tingzhou City, the long procession continued to arrive at the big wharf in the east of the city, and the earth-shattering cheers and gongs and drums sounded again.

The slowly advancing procession crossed the makeshift pontoon bridge, passed through the city gate with battle flags unfurled, and headed for the camp in the west of the city in the midst of the welcome of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

After half a month of repair and expansion, the camp in the west of the city has changed greatly.

More than 200 instructors and more than 3,000 recruits made full preparations for the arrival of the Red Fourth Division, and the best three-row barracks were all vacated, and 1,500 sets of brand-new military uniforms and 1,500 sets of daily necessities were neatly placed in the barracks.

The makeshift hospital for the sick and wounded is clean and well-equipped, and all those admitted to the hospital receive the best possible treatment immediately.

More than 300 cadres and masses organized by the Tingzhou local party committee had already prepared a sumptuous meal at this time.

All of this moved the soldiers of the Red Fourth Division to tears, and Peng Peng and Yuan Guoping held the hands of Zheng Yi and others, and thanked them again and again.

After visiting the wounded and sick, they invited Peng Pao, Yuan Guoping and the two commanders of the Red Fourth Division to the Chengbei Division Headquarters, and the division staff officers had already prepared hot water and changed new military uniforms, and enthusiastically led the Pang Peng and others to the courtyard behind the main hall to bathe and change clothes, and Zheng Yi and the others returned to the conference room to make tea and wait.

That night, the soldiers of the Red Fourth Division who had been fighting continuously for many years were basically drunk, and the four surging men were also drunk by the enthusiastic instructors and chief officers.

From the Haifeng and Lufeng uprisings in May last year to the present, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang Party, many comrades' nerves have been highly tense, and now they have finally relaxed and can take a good rest.

Zheng Yi and the others were still very sober, and after the reception banquet, they took a shower and changed clothes, and soon gathered in the conference room of the division headquarters.

"I didn't expect that there are still some soldiers of the Red Second Division in northeast Guangdong, if it weren't for Comrade Peng telling me, I wouldn't have known that the Red Second Division still exists, it is said that Xu Xiangqian and Comrade Dong Lang are still leading the rest of the troops to fight guerrillas in the Dongjiang area, and their conditions are very difficult!"

Li Zhao sighed, his wet hair had not yet been dried, and he didn't remember to wipe it with water droplets running down his hair and feet.

Wang Huchen asked in astonishment, "How long has the connection between the Red Fourth Division and the Red Second Division been interrupted?" ”

Li Zhao nodded: "It was interrupted for more than a month, and for several months, the four divisions of the Guangdong Army have never stopped encircling and suppressing the Red Fourth Division and the Red Second Division, and the two divisions have been broken up several times. ”

"Even if it was the Red Fourth Division, some companies were separated, and if it weren't for Comrade Peng Peng and Comrade Yuan Guoping decisively retreating north into the mountains, the Red Fourth Division would probably have been defeated long ago."

All the brothers had serious expressions and looked at Zheng Yi one after another.

Zheng Yi snuffed out his cigarette and said slowly: "When we were eating just now, Comrade Peng Peng and Comrade Yuan Guoping were not very high, although they did not formally request us, their idea was already very clear, that is, to replenish the troops as soon as possible and quickly restore their combat effectiveness. ”

"The Red Fourth Division is a heroic unit, the predecessor of this team is the Guangzhou Uprising Force Officer Education Corps, most of the officers and soldiers are Cantonese, so in terms of replenishing soldiers, everyone needs to pay more attention to it, as much as possible to supplement the recruits who can understand Cantonese, and if it is really not possible, select recruits who can speak Hakka to add in, otherwise it will affect the communication and exchanges between officers and soldiers."

"I'm afraid it's not a small difficulty! Although there is not much difference between the Hakka dialect of southern Fujian and the Hakka dialect of Chaoshan, the difference between it and Cantonese is very big, and the western Fujian dialect is different from the southern Fujian dialect, and most of our existing recruits are from western Fujian, and it is difficult to communicate with the brothers of the Red Fourth Army! ”

Zhang Yao was the most gifted of the brothers, fluent in Mandarin, Shandong, Cantonese, and southern Gannan dialects, and he was helpless in the face of the current situation.

Zheng Yi also had a headache for a while: "Let this matter go for a while, and then discuss it with Comrade Peng tomorrow!" ”

"Let's talk about our own situation now...... The Fourth Regiment stationed in Donghuashan has now been assigned to the 11th Division under the leadership of Commissar Mao and participated in the battle to capture Yongxin a few days ago. ”

The brothers have already read the preliminary adjustment plan and know that the internal adjustment of the instructor is very large, and it has been approved by the division party committee.

Therefore, despite the reservations in his heart and the reluctance to leave the old troops, not a single one complained.
