On the 12th, the 3rd Regiment of the Red Front Army and the 74th Regiment of the Red 4th Front Army met at Dawei.

On the 18th, as the joy of the 3rd Regiment and the 74th Regiment of the vanguard spread throughout the three armies, the central leaders also came to Dawei one after another, and left Dawei to reach Maogong on the same day, where they met with the responsible persons of the Red Fourth Front Army.

At the beginning of July, more than 10 days had passed since the division was formed, and the 3rd Regiment had been garrisoning Maogong for three full days, but no military orders had yet been issued.

In the conference room of the third regiment, Han Xin trained the soldiers of the first company, and gave special training to the comrades of the strange team, and received Lin Dashan's order to rush here.

Far away, Han Xin heard Lin Dashan's roar, after getting along for so long, Han Xin is very familiar with his head Lin Dashan.

This is different from the unintentional scolding on weekdays, but Lin Dashan is really angry, but it is an extremely rare thing.

"Damn, what is he Zhang Guotao...... I think he just doesn't want to obey the command of the Party Central Committee, this is preparing to betray the revolution, this is ......"

"Lao Lin, be cautious!" The voice of political commissar Xiao Xiang also came out.

Han Xin entered the conference room, Xiao Xiang made a look, Han Xin consciously found a stool to sit down, surrounded by old acquaintances, Zhao Zhuang, the commander of the third battalion, Xiao Yingtang, the commander of the first battalion, and other company commanders, as for the comrades below the company level, they did not appear.

"Be cautious, he's not a thing, what's the matter, can't he scold him for being a bastard?" Lin Dashan's angry scolding sounded again.

Lin Dashan came back from the above meeting, obviously stimulated by something, his words made Zhao Zhuang and the others a little dazed, they didn't know why their head of the regiment was so angry, but they knew that Lin Dashan was really angry.

Zhang Guotao, in the memory of Zhao Zhuang and others, was the head of the Red Fourth Front Army and one of the early founders of the Communist Party.

But when their head said so, they didn't have a good time to speak, and quietly waited for the development of the gaffe.

Han Xin was awe-inspiring, Zhao Zhuang and the others didn't know the situation, but he was no stranger.

The disaster of Zhang Guotao is still well recorded in history, and after Mao Gong's re-division, the central leaders of the Red Army formulated a military policy for going north according to the situation at that time: concentrate forces to the east, develop northward, and establish a revolutionary base in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.

However, it was opposed by Zhang Guoshou, the leader of the Red Fourth Front Army, who advocated going south, believing that the terrain around Beichuan was not conducive to the supply of large troops, and that the water was deep and rapid, and the enemy was also prepared, so it was not easy to cross.

He advocated that the Central Red Army should move north along the Dajin River to occupy Abe, and the Red Fourth Front Army should go north to Zhemao County, Beichuan and other places, and advance into the area west of Songpan.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Guotao has put forward a strategic principle that is completely different from that of the central authorities.

Of course, later history proved that Zhang Guoshou was very wrong, and the northward policy formulated by Mao Zedong and others was the most correct path.

Zhang Guotao's ambition was too great, when the Red Army gained power, he wanted to fight for power, and after the Red Army lost power, he retreated to a domain, stubbornly self-reported, afraid of battle, and timid as a mouse......

But it's a pity that Han Xin knows this, but he can't explain it to Lin Dashan and the others, of course, even if it is clear, judging from the position of Lin Dashan and others, it won't play a big role.

……

Returning to reality, Lin Dashan was still scolding angrily, and even quarreled with political commissar Xiao Xiang.

"His mother's Zhang Guotao is seizing power, I think he just doesn't want to obey the party's command, he wants to pull the brothers of the Red Fourth Front Army to be the emperor of the soil!"

"Lao Lin, don't talk about it, these things are naturally worried about by the leaders of the central government, what are you doing?"

"Fart, the rise and fall of the world, Lao Tzu is responsible, Lao Xiao, Lao Tzu has always respected you on weekdays, although he is a weak intellectual, but he is a man, what's wrong with it today? Don't even dare to say half a damn word? ”

Lin Dashan's temper is very good, when he is happy, he looks at everyone pleasing to the eye, he is a little comrade in the cooking class, he can call others brothers; But when he's unhappy, it's to see who is not pleasing to the eye, and it's common to lie down and be scolded for no reason.

Xiao Xiang has a deep understanding of this, if he is serious about Lin Dashan's words, he will not be angry, so he will not take it to heart.

just sneered: "It's true that the old comrade-in-arms said that you are a hungry wolf, look at you, what do you look like, you will bare your teeth if you catch a person."

Zhang Guotao is suspected of sabotage, but he is the leader of the central government, and you are a little head of the regiment who can make a fool of him? ”

"Lao Tzu just scolded him, what's wrong?" Lin Dashan said with a stiff neck.

"Hehe, then why don't you scold at the brigade headquarters meeting? Why don't you write to the head of the division, why don't you write directly to Chairman Mao? If you really can't do it, you can write directly to Zhang Guotao, and you will say, Lao Tzu Lin Dashan is unhappy with you, and he wants to scold you, so give Lao Tzu his ears to listen to it......"

"Haha, if I could do this, I would have done it a long time ago...... Isn't it impossible? Lin Dashan smiled, and his face, which was still angry, disappeared in an instant, turning into an unembarrassed sneer.

This is the other side of Lin Dashan, he is more fierce than anyone else, and he is not soft when he cuts off the enemy's head, but if you have been in contact with Lin Dashan for a long time, you will find that these will not be the places where he impresses you the most.

Lin Dashan's deepest impression is that he is thick-skinned and shameless enough...... Or, in Xiao Xiang's words, "peasant cunning."

This kind of cunning is different from others, which makes people helpless, but it is difficult to get angry.

At this point, Xiao Xiang has to admit that it belongs to Lin Dashan's unique personal charm, in other words, he Xiao Xiang died, and at most some comrades-in-arms and friends with deep feelings came to mourn and grieve.

But if he Lin Dashan is not there one day, not only his relatives, friends and brothers, but also the soldiers he has brought and the chiefs who have obeyed his orders will follow one another and come and go.

"After the meeting, the strength of our Red Army quickly reached as many as 100,000 people, and Zhang Guotao's Red Fourth Front Army was 70,000 or 80,000, and we must be cautious in our attitude towards him.

I think you know this, so, Lao Lin, don't make useless complaints, let the comrades trim well, and then there is time for us to play. Abandoning the emotion in his heart, Xiao Xiang comforted.

"Damn it...... can only do this" Lin Dashan nodded unhappily, and said to Han Xin and the others on the side: "Although the situation is uncertain now, the orders of the Party Central Committee and our three regiments will never be violated."

The policy of going north was set by the Party Central Committee, and it will not be changed in the future, and the old chief also secretly signaled to me that in view of the heroic performance of our Ninth Division and the Third Regiment, our Third Regiment will still be the vanguard and lead the military activities in the future. ”

Maps

Lin Dashan shouted, Xiao Yingtang quickly handed over a map, Lin Dashan possessed, and pointed to a place after Han Xin and the others came over: "See that there is no here, the grassland in the northwest of Sichuan is a necessary place to go north, and we estimate that we will pass through here as the vanguard." ”

Lin Dashan paused, when the war was not urgent, he always liked to guide and guide his subordinates, in his opinion, these subordinates could not always follow him, to put it bluntly, there was no benefit.

And this is also one of the reasons why many of the soldiers led by Lin Dashan have now become regiment commanders, and when they see Lin Dashan, they are still respectful, and the old regiment leader and the old regiment leader keep shouting.

"Do you know why I'm bringing it up alone?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yingtang said: "Leader, this grassland in northwest Sichuan is a grassland to put it bluntly, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk!" ”

"Ha, it's okay, boy! Third battalion commander, what do you think? Lin Dashan praised and asked Zhao Zhuang again.

Zhao Zhuang snorted and said: "Regiment leader, I heard the brothers of the Red Sixth Regiment say that when their regiment crossed the grassland, due to lack of understanding and poor preparation, the losses were very heavy, and this grassland is afraid that it is a difficult bone to gnaw!" ”

"You kid is quite well-informed", you Dashan scolded with a smile, originally, it was basically over when he got here, but Lin Dashan looked at Han Xin surprisingly, and saw that Han Xin didn't say anything.

Hunting for curiosity, Lin Dashan said: "Han Xin, what do you think of it? ”

"Huh? Didn't the two battalion commanders say it just now? Han Xin replied inexplicably.

"Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu just asks you what you think and what suggestions you have." Recently, Lin Dashan and Han Xin have become very familiar with each other, and Lin Dashan's true appearance is naturally revealed, and he doesn't care about any swearing, he treats everyone equally, and laughs and scolds.

"Oh!" Han Xin touched his nose a little helplessly, he knew that even if he didn't say it, Lin Dashan could naturally find out the news from the locals, but out of the reminder of the details, as well as the perspective of a person who came over, Han Xin knew the horror of the grassland, and too many Red Army soldiers were sacrificed here.

After thinking about it, Han Xin relied on his memory and said: "Commander, this grassland in northwest Sichuan is a typical flat plateau, with a large area, more than 15,000 square kilometers.

Because there are the White River (Gequ River) and the Black River (Moqu River) from south to north, the river course is tortuous, the fork river channel is clustered, and the water flow is sluggish.

Coupled with the poor drainage, the water has become a large swamp, and the water and grass have ...... over the years."
