Zhang Cheng and the soldiers of the Four Front Army hugged each other and jumped a few times, shouting loudly, venting the joy and sorrow in their hearts and the indescribable loneliness, feeling that the whole person was much younger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he stopped this crazy move, Master Han rushed over. Under the guidance of the commander of the Red 25th Division, Zhang Cheng and Han Dongshan's two big hands clasped tightly together, and then they hugged each other and saluted.

After everyone's excitement calmed down a little, the two exchanged information about each other.

Seeing that the follow-up troops of the 25th Division had also arrived and that it was dusk, Zhang Cheng proposed that the two armies enter Dawei Town to rest and recuperate, and wait for the commander and the central leaders to cross the Jiajin Mountain tomorrow to meet everyone.

Division Commander Han had no doubts at all, and he said very cheerfully: "Commander Zhang, you are the chief in terms of official position, and you are also the big brother of the Central Red Army, you can give orders, and I will listen to you." ”

So, Zhang Cheng took the troop company to accompany the 25th Division of Commander Han and went straight to Dawei Town. Along the way, Zhang Cheng and Master Han Dongshan talked cordially.

From Master Han's words and deeds, Zhang Cheng found that he was very similar to Li Yunlong, both of them were outspoken and open-minded, which greatly won Zhang Cheng's favor, and the two talked happily and laughed all the way.

Zhang Cheng knew that the historical division commander Han Dongshan was an extremely brave general, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was awarded the rank of major general, he was illiterate, and he fought only with a bloody and brave spirit, but he was invincible, and he was promoted all the way to the division commander, which can be said to be a legendary general of the Four Front Army.

Seeing that the Shao Zong automatic firearms were extremely sophisticated, Division Commander Han Dongshan asked Zhang Cheng curiously: "Commander Zhang, I found that your troops are very different from our four front armies, and their weapons and equipment are much better than the Kuomintang troops I have seen. ”

Zhang Cheng replied with a smile: "Division Commander Han, you and I may not know much about our army when we first come into contact with each other, but I think you will understand after you get along for a long time in the future." As for these weapons and equipment, haha, all of them were made for us by the enemy. ”

When Division Commander Han Dongshan heard this, he was shocked and said: "Commander Zhang, the weapons captured by your troops are so sophisticated and so many, you must have won a lot of battles, tell me about the war history of your troops." ”

Zhang Cheng felt that this Commander Han Dongshan was really honest and cute, and he didn't know anything about himself, so he replied: "Commander Han, your question has stumped me, if you want to talk about the war history of our troops, it is too rich to finish in a day and a night." Why don't we go into Davian's camp first, and I'll tell you more about it when we have time, what do you think? ”

Division Commander Han Dongshan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Commander Zhang is right, look at me, I just can't figure it out, and I forgot that we haven't set up camp yet." ”

After entering the Dawei camp, Wang Hui of the Communications Section, who followed the Young Column Pilot Regiment first, immediately reported to Zhang Cheng: "Commander, the radio station has been arranged, and I have reported to the Commander-in-Chief and the Central Military Commission the news that our army's leading regiment has successfully crossed the Jiajin Mountain and successfully joined forces with Dawei and the Fourth Front Army. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, and then ordered him to immediately send a telegram to the political commissar to inquire about the political commissar's march.

After a while, Zhang Cheng got in touch with the political commissar and soon learned about the situation of the troops of the Shaozong and the artillery troops on the Qionglai Mountain Road.

The commissar reported to Zhang Cheng that the troops had already traveled most of the distance, and if all went well, they would be able to reach the town of Dawei tomorrow morning.

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and told the political commissar to be careful and careful, and never have any accidents, and the political commissar understood it again and again.

As soon as he ended the call with the political commissar, Division Commander Han Dongshan arrived as scheduled. On this night, Zhang Cheng and Han Dongshan chatted freely, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they both felt that the other party was very temperamental and formed a deep friendship.

On the other side of Jiajin Mountain, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission had just received good news from the Young Column Pioneer Regiment, but before they had time to celebrate, the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission received two letters from the underground organization for the responsible comrades of the Red Fourth Front Army.

One was written by Zhang Guitao to the Party Central Committee, in which he said: "Our vanguard regiment has occupied Maogong on the 8th, and most of it is advancing towards Maogong, and the vanguard troops are advancing towards Dawei, building fortifications and guarding the enemy troops to cover your rendezvous. ”

The letter also said: "The rendezvous is imminent, the morale is greatly boosted, and the arduous struggle of the Western Expeditionary Army (referring to the Central Red Army) is extremely admired by the commanders and fighters here. At the same time, he reported to the central government: "Changhao is in Beichuan, and my brother is in Maoxian." ”

Another letter was written by Xu Xiangqian, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army, to the central authorities, in which he gave a detailed account of the deployment of the enemy's army and our army in northwestern Sichuan, asked for instructions on the operational policy after the two armies converged, and expressed a warm welcome to the central army of the westward expedition that had been arduously transferred to the battle.

After receiving the letter from the responsible comrades of the four fronts, the comrades were overjoyed that the two most powerful main forces of the Red Army were about to join up, and the revolutionary forces were unprecedentedly strong.

At this time, before the two main forces of the Red Army had met, all the commanders and fighters on both sides, including Zhang Guitao, were looking forward to meeting as soon as possible.

However, once the two armies really realized the merger, as the responsible person of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, especially after receiving these two letters, the commander-in-chief immediately turned to thinking about the problems that might exist and even would definitely occur after the meeting.

It seems that compared with the happy looks of other central leaders, the commander-in-chief looks worried.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the political commissar led the baggage troops to Dawei, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the remnants of the Young Column and the vanguard of the 1st Army Corps, the 2nd Division and 4th Regiment, arrived at Dawei one after another. After another hour, the main forces of the Central Column and the 1st Army also arrived in Dawei.

After learning the news, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar hurriedly led the column headquarters and the leading cadres of the three divisions to meet them.

Seeing that the commander, the heads of the central committees, and the boss of the First Army Corps, Lin Nie, were all safe and sound, Zhang Cheng and the cadres of Shaozong naturally relieved their hearts, and everyone was extremely happy.

Division Commander Han Dongshan was also busy directing and reorganizing the ranks of the 25th Division to meet the review of the commander-in-chief and the central leaders, so Zhang Cheng led Division Commander Han Dongshan to hurry forward and introduce him to the commander-in-chief and the head of the Central Committee.

When the commander saw Zhang Cheng coming, he held Zhang Cheng's hand tightly, and the two of them met with one eye, and everything was silent.

Then the commander walked in front of the division commander Han Dongshan, and Zhang Cheng immediately stepped forward to introduce to the commander: "Commander, chiefs, this is Comrade Han Dongshan, the commander of the 25th Division of the Fourth Front Army of our Central Red Army. ”

The commander tightly held the hands of Division Commander Han Dongshan and said to him gently: "You have come all the way to meet us, it is really hard, I salute you!" ”

Division Commander Han Dongshan and the officers and men of the Fourth Front Army heard the commander-in-chief's sincere words for the first time, and they were instantly deeply moved by the commander-in-chief's approachable attitude.

This is an unprecedented treatment in the Red Fourth Front Army, Zhang Guitao is the only one in the Fourth Front Army, where will he treat these cadres under them so courteously!

A warm current poured deep into Han Dongshan's heart, making the pores of his whole body extremely warm and comfortable.

"Report Commander! I am Han Dongshan, commander of the 25th Division, and I was sent by Commander-in-Chief Xu of the Fourth Front Army to greet the commander-in-chief and the leaders of the Central Committee. ”

Under the infection of the commander-in-chief's cordiality, the previous nervous restraint of Division Commander Han Dongshan immediately disappeared without a trace, and the voice of the report was loud and upright, showing the majesty and majesty of the soldiers. (To be continued.) )
