Just when the passage meeting was in full swing, the Young Communist Division had already finished its rest and recuperation in the resource county and was following the footsteps of the Central Red Army with high morale and marching towards the passage county in Hunan Province.

In the past three days, the soldiers of the whole division have been well fed and energetic, and their combat effectiveness has been fully restored, and they are even better than before. At around 8 p.m. on the evening of the 12th, the radio station of the division's communications section finally got in touch with the radio station of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.

Zhang Cheng and the political commissar immediately sent a telegram to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, to the effect that the International Division of our Young Communist Party had broken out of the encirclement on the evening of 1 December, forcibly crossed the Xiangjiang River, and then moved to the direction of Gui Province's resource county.

Our division in the battle of the Xiangjiang River successively defeated Zhou Hunyuan's column, Li Yunjie's 27th Army, Xia Wei's 15th Army, and captured a large number of Nationalist troops, so the troops did not lose much, but grew step by step, now our division has six combat brigades with a total of 30,000 troops, and captured more than 6,000 Nationalist soldiers, let them serve as civilian husbands for our army, now most of them are willing to join our army, our division into Guizhou during the construction of resources county, seized a large number of assets, strong combat power, strong morale.

In addition, after our division broke through the resource county, it occupied the enemy's government treasury, and the captured 800,000 oceans and a large amount of weapons and ammunition will enter Tongdao County at about 9 o'clock on the morning of 13 July, escorted by Comrade Zhang Fengming, chief of staff of the division and commander of the Sixth Brigade. As for what our division will do next, I would like to ask the central authorities for instructions.

Commander of the International Division of the Young Communist Party: Zhang Cheng; Political Commissar: Xiao Hua.

On December 12, 1934.

When the passage meeting was about to end, suddenly, a staff officer hurriedly barged in and sent a telegram to Chief of Staff Ye Jianying.

Ye Jianying hurriedly read it, suddenly stood up, and said in a voice full of joy: "Comrades, pause. There is news from our heroic Young Communist International Division. ”

The telegram read by Chief of Staff Ye Jianying was the telegram sent by Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua to the Central Military Commission of the Central Revolution. Happily, the International Division of the Young Communist Party not only escaped, but also expanded its troops to 30,000 men, which was undoubtedly a timely rain for the Central Red Army, which had few soldiers and many officers.

"Lao Mao, you country nephew is really amazing! Not only did they break out of the encirclement of the enemy, but they also brought the troops stronger and stronger, and the entire 30,000 troops exceeded the sum of the first and third army corps! Amazing, amazing! Zhang Luofu exclaimed loudly.

"Humph! A division actually has 30,000 troops, and who allowed him to expand the army without permission, has no organization and discipline, and his crime is unforgivable, and he should be removed from his post and investigated as soon as possible. Foreign consultant Leng Sensen said.

"Comrade Advisor, you are wrong in this statement. The expansion of the International Division of the Young Communist Party was approved by me, the boss, Jiaxiang, and other central comrades, and was not an unauthorized expansion. Moreover, our Central Red Army is at a time when there is a shortage of major generals, and the stronger the troops of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, the stronger the strength of our Red Army. Deputy Commander Zhou bluntly refuted it.

The speeches that followed were again one-sided, and everyone was pleased with the growth of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, and even Comrade Bo Gu, who had always been a foreign adviser, stood on the side of the majority.

In particular, Lin and Peng, the two bosses of the First and Third Army Corps, knew that Zhang Cheng had always been generous, and during the battle on the Xiangjiang River, they gave 2,000 recruits to the Red 34th Division and the Red Eighth Army respectively.

Didn't Zhang Cheng's telegram say that the International Division of the Young Communist Party was still escorting 6,000 prisoners, these prisoners were either the Central Army or the Hunan Army, they were all excellent soldiers, and they could fight, and they didn't need to train for at least a few months before they could go to the battlefield like a recruit egg.

Therefore, the commander of Lin Hu's Third Army, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "Commander Zhang Cheng is really a famous tiger general!" It just so happened that Pingping Township was less than 30 miles away from the county seat of Tongdao, and such a heroic unit as the International Division of the Young Communist Party deserved the courtesy of our Central Red Army, so I will lead the troops to welcome them back. After speaking, Mr. Lin stood up and was about to leave the venue.

Mr. Peng didn't expect Mr. Lin, who had always been like a little girl, to react so quickly, and he was actually one step ahead of him, in a hurry, he hurriedly grabbed Lin Husan's arm, and pretended to be bold: "That's not good, the First Army has always been the first-class main force of our Red Army, how can it be lightly separated from the Central Committee, and it is still my Third Army Corps to lead the troops to meet the International Division of the Young Communist Party." Chief of Staff Deng, let's go, go and meet our hero division! ”

"Smack!"

Dong Zhentang, the commander of the Fifth Legion, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said loudly in annoyance: "Oops! I almost forgot that the International Division of the Young Communist Party was the life-saving benefactor of the 34th Division of my Fifth Army Corps, so I have to personally thank Commander Xiao Zhang, ha, I went to find a tree and went with him to greet Commander Xiao Zhang. ”

Seeing the red-faced faces of several army commanders arguing, several central leaders who knew that they were careful couldn't help but laugh. Deputy Commander Zhou stopped their nonsense, saying: "I know that the troops have suffered heavy casualties since the Long March, and that they have not been able to replenish their forces after losing their base areas. So everyone is coveting the 6,000 captives of the International Division of the Young Communist Party. I think so, the Fifth Army Corps has already replenished 2,000 recruits with the 34th Division, so this time the recruits will not be needed, I heard that the International Division of the Young Communist Party is rich and wealthy, and the machine guns have been popularized to the squad, so let's ask Zhang Cheng to replenish a batch of guns and ammunition to your Fifth Army Corps, presumably Zhang Cheng will not refuse.

The first and third army corps are the main forces of our army, and more than half of the Xiangjiang battle losses are lost, I don't think any of you have to fight, and the two major army corps will each replenish 3,000 recruits. However, the reason why these prisoners were willing to join the Red Army was that the International Division of the Young Communist Party had extensively carried out a campaign to talk about their grievances and grievances, and our Central Military Commission had detailed information on their campaigns. ”

"Understood." The bosses of each legion had their own gains, and they immediately died down.

Perhaps it was the telegram of the International Division of the Young Communist Party that diluted the antagonistic sentiments between the two sides, or perhaps it was the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the International Division of the Young Communist Party that gave a shot in the arm to the Central Red Army in distress, and the central leaders who had never seen a smile since the battle on the Xiangjiang River resumed their previous style of talking and laughing, especially the performance of the commander in turning the tide in this channel meeting convinced a large number of central leaders, and his influence in the central Committee was greatly enhanced, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang Cheng greatly enhanced the confidence of the commander.

The passage is located in a poor county town in the southwesternmost direction of Hunan Province. From the geographical point of view, it belongs to the old society, which is a county that does not care about anything. The nature and name of the meeting held in this county town have always been interpreted differently by later historians.

This is because it was neither a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee nor a meeting of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, but the participants of the meeting were the principal responsible persons of the Party and the Military Commission at that time, and the decisions of this meeting were important contents related to the life and death of the whole party and the whole army.

With such historical significance, the Passage Conference cannot be overstated.
