The 36th Army rushed to Xinfeng County and immediately deployed the defense line according to the order, while Lin Junxiong's second battalion was "taken care of" by Xie Pufu and placed at the division headquarters to be responsible for defending the work on the grounds that the team lacked actual combat ability.

The trajectory of history has not changed, in October 1934, Xue Yue commanded the Sixth Route Army to occupy Shicheng, approaching the red capital Ruijin, while the Red Army faced dozens of times the Kuomintang army, and suffered from the left-leaning adventurism of Bogu and Li De's erroneous leadership, the Red Army retreated one after another, and the First Front Army of the Central Red Army was forced to start a two-year 25,000-mile Long March.

On October 20, Lin Junxiong fidgeted as the artillery fire continued to ring in the distance, knowing that the Red Army was breaking through the blockade of the 36th Army. At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Junxiong inspected the team and walked towards the headquarters of the Fifth Division, but there were no obstacles along the way, and only a few civilian officers were busy in the division headquarters.

Lin Junxiong greeted them as he glanced at whether he could get some useful information. A soldier from the division headquarters brought Lin Junxiong water and beckoned him to sit, and a civilian officer came up and asked, "Battalion Commander Lin, this is the division headquarters, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go back." ”

"Oh, I'm here to report something to the division commander, it's okay, I'll just sit here."

The civilian officer had no choice but to walk away, and the reason Lin Junxiong found for himself to go to the division headquarters was that the war was getting closer and closer, and only the second battalion was afraid that it would not be able to ensure the safety of the division headquarters.

Lin Junxiong sat for a while, the phone of the division headquarters rang, and Wu Ao, a staff officer of the division headquarters, picked up the phone, presumably because the military headquarters had some special order, he explained that the division commander went to the front line to supervise the battle, and then said: "Okay, okay, I will immediately arrange for someone to accept it, and personally send the order to the division commander in time", and then hung up the phone. Wu Ao asked the radio station to immediately accept a secret telegram from the military department, and soon the secret telegram was sent, Wu Ao clamped it in a folder and walked over to Lin Junxiong.

It turned out that Xie Pufu took several officers from the division headquarters to the front line to supervise the battle, and it was estimated that the telephone line was destroyed by the Red Army, so the military headquarters could not be contacted. Lin Junxiong felt that the enemy must have some trap, and thought that he must get this information.

Wu Ao walked up to Lin Junxiong and said politely: "Battalion Commander Lin, I have an urgent order from the military headquarters here to send to the division commander, see if you can send me a few people to accompany me." ”

Lin Junxiong stood up and pretended to accidentally knock down the teacup, then stretched his arm to pat the water on his body, his arm was too wide and "accidentally" knocked the folder in Wu Ao's hand to the ground, Lin Junxiong quickly picked it up, opened it and looked at it, handed it to Wu Ao, and said apologetically: "Staff Officer Wu, I'm sorry, fortunately, the document is not fine, I will arrange someone to escort you over immediately." ”

Wu Ao didn't have any suspicions, and even said that it was okay, so he walked out with Lin Junxiong.

After Lin Junxiong arranged a squad to escort Wu Ao to the forward position, he hurriedly found Li Mingli and said: "Xiao Li, the situation is urgent, the Kuomintang has just ordered all units of the 36th Army to deliberately leave openings to lead the Red Army to the west to break through, and the Guangdong-Jiangxi border, the Hunan and Guangdong borders, and the Hunan and Guizhou borders have been arranged by them in advance Two blockade lines, and the 36th Army and Wu Qiwei's second column are responsible for encircling and chasing behind. If you don't know the specific deployment of troops, you should immediately go back and tell Comrade Liao Chengxian about the situation, and report the situation to the party Central Committee as soon as possible, so that the party Central Committee can find out the weak points and break through the encirclement in a timely manner according to the situation. ”

The Central Red Army encountered fierce resistance from the Kuomintang army at the beginning, and Li De and others ordered a final onslaught, but if it was not possible, they retreated to Guangxi or Guangdong. It was only for the Red Army to charge, and the Kuomintang army quickly routed and fled, Li De and others were very puzzled, but still ordered the troops to move forward quickly.

The Red Army marched in a hurry, stopping near a small town in the middle of the night. Seeing that the Red Army soldiers took advantage of the short time to rest, Li De and Bogu couldn't sleep, and they had been studying the route to the west. Several people were arguing, at this time Liao Chengxian took Li Mingli in, Li Mingli told the situation, several people frowned, after a period of discussion, Li De said: "This information is too timely, it seems that we have to retreat again, avoid the enemy's blockade, but there are sieges in front of and chasing soldiers in front of them, where is it good to retreat?" ”

Bogu also shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that it is necessary to organize everyone to come to discuss immediately and listen to the opinions of Comrade Mao Zedong and Comrade Zhu De." ”

In the end, the Central Military Commission decided to move westward along the Guangdong-Jiangxi border, the Hunan-Guangdong border, and the Hunan-Guizhou border, and on November 15, it chose the weak point of the Kuomintang army to break through the second and third blockade lines; However, Li De and other leaders did not heed the advice of Comrade Mao Zedong and Comrade Zhu De, and blindly retreated and passively avoided the war, causing heavy losses to the Red Army and continuing to be in a disadvantageous position. After that, the Central Military Commission decided to rush across the Xiangjiang River between Xing'an and Quanzhou, and after bloody battles, crossed the Xiangjiang River (that is, the fourth blockade line) on December 1, and due to continuous hard fighting, the Red Army was sharply reduced from more than 80,000 to more than 50,000 people, and more than 30,000 people remained. In mid-December, when arriving at the Hunan and Guizhou borders, Mao Zedong's main army abandoned its original plan to enter Xiangxi to join the Second and Sixth Army Corps; On the 28th, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting in Liping, accepted Mao Zedong's proposal, and decided to advance to the Sichuan-Guizhou border area centered on Zunyi, so that the Red Army avoided the danger of annihilation.

On January 7, 1935, the Red Army occupied Zunyi. On January 15~17, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Zunyi, which focused on summing up the lessons and lessons of the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, corrected the military mistakes of Wang Daming's "leftist" adventurism, established the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee represented by Mao Zedong, and formulated the strategic guidelines after the Red Army, thus saving the Red Army and the Communist Party of China at the most dangerous juncture. This meeting was a great turning point in the history of the Communist Party of China and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and a sign that the Communist Party of China had moved from naivety to maturity.

When the Central Red Army entered and occupied Zunyi, Lin Junxiong marched with the large army into Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, and its surroundings, and learned that the Central Red Army had crossed the Chishui River and was preparing to cross the Yangtze River from north and south of Sichuan. Chiang Kai-shek urgently transferred 36 regiments to encircle, while Xue Yue urgently transferred Zhou Hunyuan's troops to cross the Wujiang River, enter Qianxi, and carry out a flank attack, in an attempt to press the Red Army to the south of the Yangtze River, east of the Hengjiang River, and north and west of the Wujiang River to destroy it.

During the march of the troops, Lin Junxiong promptly conveyed the news of the weakness of the Kuomintang troops in Tongzi, Loushanguan, and Zunyi to the Party Central Committee, so when the Kuomintang troops were preparing to encircle and suppress on a large scale, the Central Red Army suddenly turned to the prestige of northeastern Yunnan to advance. When Xue Yue commanded the troops to move closer to prestige, the Red Army suddenly pointed eastward, crossed the Chishui River for the second time, reoccupied Tongzi, Loushanguan and Zunyi in Guizhou, and wiped out three regiments of the 25th Army of Wang Jialie's National Revolutionary Army. Xue Yue urgently ordered Wu Qiwei to lead the Fourth Army to reinforcements, but was also defeated by the Red Army. In this battle, more than 10,000 people were annihilated by Wang and Wu, and Chiang Kai-shek lamented it as "a great shame since the pursuit of the national army".

After continuous long-distance running, the 36th Army was quite tired, and it was only after Zhou Hunyuan led the 36th Army to retreat to Renhuai County in the middle and upper reaches of the Chishui River. In the entire encirclement and suppression, Zhou Hunyuan led the 36th Army to the east to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Central Red Army, and fought many battles with the Red Army. Before Wu Qiwei crossed the Wujiang River north to reinforce Wang Jialie in the Battle of Zunyi, he hoped that Zhou Hunyuan's column could quickly approach Zunyi and fight with him, but Zhou Hunyuan did not dare to go to help in the battle, insisting that the troops were running for a long distance and urgently needed to rest. Later, for fear of being wiped out, he retreated again and again from the Changgang Mountain area, and finally retreated to Huairen. Chiang Kai-shek saw that the Red Army wanted to create a temporary base in northern Qianbei, and Huairen's Lubanchang was at the forefront of the battle against the Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek immediately formed the eighth column of the two nearby armies and the 36th Army, and appointed Zhou Hunyuan as the commander-in-chief of the column, and then Chiang Kai-shek replaced Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

Under the instruction of Chiang Kai-shek, Xue Yue entrusted the post of commander-in-chief of the former enemy to Zhou Hunyuan, and he prepared to return to Guiyang to wait for the next dispatch. Xue Yue's parting banquet, Lin Junxiong was also invited to participate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Xue Yue has made a great contribution to the encirclement and suppression, and the contemptible people are fortunate to take over the post of commander-in-chief of General Xue's former enemy, today's banquet is mainly for General Xue to see him off, and Zhou hopes that you can work with me with one heart and one mind in the future and serve the party-state."

Zhou Hunyuan applauded Xue Yue after speaking, once upon a time, when Xue Yue was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, he didn't have any right to speak, now that feng shui is in turn, now it's his turn to be in charge, how can he be unhappy in his heart. He applauded Xue Yue, perhaps celebrating himself in his heart.

Looking at Zhou Hunyuan's villainous appearance, Lin Junxiong couldn't help but take a sip of wine, thinking that maybe people in the Kuomintang army were like this, either labeled as the Whampoa Military Academy, or they were descendants of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, these people were pretentious, suppressed officers with real talent and learning, and corruption spread from the government to the army, so that many officers later chose to join the Communist Party.

Thinking of this, Lin Junxiong sighed softly, raised his head and saw Zhao Xiguang looking at him in surprise, Lin Junxiong raised the wine glass in his hand, but Zhao Xiguang threw a friendly look at Lin Junxiong for the first time in the world.

After the officers and Xue Yue dealt with it one by one, they all stepped forward to congratulate Zhou Hunyuan. Xue Yue sat next to Lin Junxiong and whispered: "Brother, officialdom is like this, this week Hun Yuan is the descendant of Lao Jiang, these people are not good at stammering, and the three fires of this new official will burn them." ”

Lin Junxiong looked at Xue Yue and said with a wry smile: "The chairman shouldn't exile the eldest brother again, right?" ”

"Hehe, that's not going to happen, brother, to be honest, I'm relieved when I unload the burden. If it weren't for Lao Jiang's pressing, the ghost would be willing to fight the Chinese. ”

Lin Junxiong looked at Xue Yue and wondered, could it be that he hated the Communist Party a few years ago, and now that grudge is turned in his heart?

"Brother, take care of yourself when I'm leaving. However, Hun Yuan can't get along with you this week, first, your position is too unequal, and second, although you have not directly participated in the battle, your performance in the past few months can be affirmed. But you still have to remember to keep your posture low and don't let people grab your pigtails. ”

Lin Junxiong was not worried about Zhou Hun Yuan or Xie Pufu being embarrassed, so he said to Xue Yue: "Don't worry, big brother, brother is measured." It's you, big brother, you must take care. ”

Xue Yue stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and pack my things too, you have time to come to Guiyang to see me." ”

Lin Junxiong was about to get up to see him off, but Xue Yue held him down and motioned him to go by himself. Looking at Xue Yue's lonely back with a guard, while Zhou Hunyuan on the other side was happily talking with everyone, Lin Junxiong shook his head and drank a full glass of wine, then got up and left a little lonely.
