After a burst of cheers from the crowd, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and the decadence of being defeated by the Kuomintang army in the past few days was swept away.
The chairman took the telegram and read it several times, and finally sighed: "It's really amazing, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the International Division of the Young Communist Party is really a heroic army of our army!" A division dares to win consecutive battles with one enemy and eight enemies, and deter the enemy. The complete annihilation of the three divisions of the Central Army of the Kuomintang with the strength of one division is an unprecedented victory since the establishment of our Red Army! Commander-in-chief, Enlai, and boss, I suggest that the battle report of the Young Communist Division be circulated to the whole army, so as to boost the low morale of our army for many days, and call on the whole army to learn from the heroic Young Communist International Division, fight skillfully, flexibly, and win battles.
In addition, it is recommended to call back the Young Communist Division immediately: 1. The troops will continue to be stationed in Shicheng to deter the stubborn masses and cover the main force of our army to complete the strategic transfer. 2. After the troops broke away from the main force of the Central Committee, the Young Communist Division was given the right to make decisions on the spot, and Jiang Dingwen and other captured officers of the Kuomintang were given full authority to the Young Communist Division. 3. With the Long March imminent, the Young Communist Division must make early preparations, and its tactics must be flexible and changeable, so as to avoid the enemy becoming annoyed and angry, and gather heavy troops to gather around it. Fourth, the hero was awarded the Special Merit of the International Division of the Young Communist Party once, Comrade Zhang Cheng was awarded the Red Star Medal of the first class, and Comrade Xiao Hua was awarded the Red Star Medal of the second class. ”
Vice Chairman Zhou said: "The chairman's opinion is very pertinent, and I agree. ”
Mr. Zhu, Zhang Luofu, Wang Jiaxiang and other central leaders raised their hands in favor one by one, and although Bo Gu, who was the general manager of the Central Committee, did not like the chairman, he did not make much trouble, and after seeing everyone's unification of opinions, he only said: "Just do what everyone wants!" ”
Shicheng, the headquarters of the Young Communist Division.
"Division commander, the central government has called back and sent us a commendation order." Xiao Hua smiled and handed a telegram to Zhang Cheng.
"Collective special merit, a first-class Red Star Medal, a second-class Red Star Medal, the central is so big, it seems to have a familiar taste." Zhang Cheng said in surprise.
"Look at this telegram, it should come from the chairman's hand, and only his old man is so majestic." Xiao Hua said nostalgically, like Zhang Cheng, Xiao Hua is also a very optimistic figure of the chairman, and the relationship between the two is similar to the friendship between teachers and students.
"Well, it seems that the day when the chairman will return to the mountains is not far away, and only under his command will our Red Army feel like a fish in water." Zhang Cheng nodded and said.
"Division commander, the central government seems to be extremely satisfied with us, and even the right to make decisions on the fly has given us the Young Communist Division, you know, this kind of right is not even the first army of President Lin and the third army of President Peng." The political commissar said with a little emotion.
"The central government has so much trust in us and has given us such a great right to be a young communist division, we must lead the troops well, and we must not live up to the trust of the central authorities, and our burden will be even heavier in the future. Alas, with great power comes great responsibility, and now that the strength of our Young Communist Division has expanded to 24,000 people, we must be responsible for 24,000 lives. ”
"Division commander, you still have to shoulder the matter of leading the troops, at most I can only check and fill in the gaps for you, and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, this year, it is not easy for anyone." Xiao Hua sighed.
"Political commissar, Chen Cheng has been frightened by us in the past few days, there is no war, since the formation of the Young Communist Division, all the way to the south and the north, we haven't talked about it yet, tonight we will learn from the ancients, let's have a candle night talk."
"Okay, before the establishment of the Young Communist Division, we were really happy to promote words and guide the country together. But when I really took on the heavy responsibility, I realized how difficult it was to lead a good army. It's time for me to have a good chat with you, after all, with our age, we probably have to be together for a few years. ”
"Political commissar, the Long March is imminent, and our Red Army is about to lose its Soviet base areas, tell me whether our Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party still has a chance to come back to life." Before Zhang Cheng came to this era, his understanding of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Party in this era was only some written descriptions such as treating death as home, throwing his head, and spilling blood, and so on, and when he came to this era, he profoundly understood how difficult it would be for the Chinese to overthrow the so-called three mountains without the sacrifice and dedication of the Chinese Workers and Peasants.
"Hehe, I can't imagine that you are still confused about the future of the Chinese revolution, division commander, if you have time, you should read more of the chairman's book, didn't the chairman say that a spark can start a prairie fire, in my opinion, as long as there are still workers and peasants in China, our revolutionary cause will never perish." Xiao Hua said firmly.
"Well, what the political commissar said is good, we workers and peasants should have such determination, but political commissar, what do you think of our army's long march?" Zhang Cheng admired.
"Actually, I don't think we should go on a long march, but seriously sum up the lessons of the defeat in the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression war, and ask the chairman to go out again, just like before, and command our Red Army from victory to victory. As long as we have the chairman leading us, plus we have a deep revolutionary foundation in our Soviet areas, the common people support us, and there are many guerrillas to provide us with troops, we should be able to expand our base area to the whole of China, right? ”
Zhang Cheng shook his head, not agreeing with Xiao Hua's point of view, he said patiently: "If there are only two major forces in China, the Workers' and Peasants' Party and the Kuomintang, we really should not go on a long march, as long as we have the correct leadership of the chairman, we will surely grow stronger step by step until the whole of China is unified." It is a pity that the actual environment may not be like this, and the ambitions of the Japanese devils have not stopped for a day after they occupied Northeast China, and the heart of China will not die, as long as it digests the fruits of victory in Northeast China, it is imperative to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China.
It's just that now our Workers' and Peasants' Party is still in the young stage of growth, and it is not yet able to bear the burden of leading the people of the whole country to resist Japan together, and this heavy burden, at this stage, only Chang Kaishen of the Kuomintang has the strength to bear, for the overall situation of the anti-Japanese resistance, the core area of the Kuomintang is close to the East China Sea, as long as the Japanese army completes the landing, the magic capital, Nanjing will definitely fall, so the Kuomintang army very much needs the southern region as a strategic rear, and almost all of our Red Army's Soviet base areas are in the south, which is like a stalk in the throat for Chang Kaishen, not extinguished or unhappy. If we insist on establishing a base area in the south, we will certainly lose both sides and give the Japanese devils a chance to wipe them out.
Therefore, the Long March is not only the need for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party to jump out of the encirclement of the Kuomintang and regain its life, but also the need to preserve the revolutionary forces to obey the overall situation of resistance against Japan. With China's vast land and population advantages, it will be China that will win in the end. ”
Xiao Hua was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he looked unaware of it, and it took a long time before he said: "Master Commander, you think really far, but we can only talk on paper now, as for these strange points of yours, let time prove whether it is correct or not." ”
Later, at the founding ceremony after the liberation of China, Xiao Hua recalled what he said to Zhang Cheng today, and admired Zhang Cheng's foresight, but Zhang Cheng at that time was modest on the outside, but he was secretly smiling in his heart, this is just to take out the facts that will happen in history to fool you, haha.
