Chapter 53 Xiaoxiang Wind and Rain III
Dao County, known as Daozhou in ancient times, is known as "Lotus City". Adjacent to the west bank of Xiaoshui, the www.biquge.info is the largest county in southern Hunan and a famous ferry port on both sides of Xiaoshui. Because of the discovery of the world's earliest artificially cultivated rice specimens and the birth of Zhou Dunyi, the originator of the Song Dynasty, the ancient city of Daozhou in southern Hunan is known as "the source of the valley of the world", "the holy land of science", and "the pottery of the world".
Daoxian County is located at the northern foot of Wuling, and its geological and climatic conditions are very suitable for the growth of oranges and oranges. If you count from Qu Yuan's writing of "Ode to Orange" to Yongzhi, it has a history of more than 2,000 years.
When the Red Army arrived in Daoxian, it was the season when oranges were ripe, and not only were the trees all over the mountains full of ripe oranges, but the common people did not care whether the red and white sides were fighting or not, and in order to make a living, they still carried the fresh oranges that had just been picked from the trees into the city to sell.
When the commanders and fighters of the Red Army, especially the intellectuals from the big cities, saw this sweet and big orange, they could not help but donate generously one after another, competing to buy it and feast on it.
However, just when the commanders and fighters of the Red Army were about to make a big profit, the commander-in-chief had no appetite, and the commander-in-chief, as a military strategist of a generation, clearly knew that the Red Army's entry into Daoxian meant that it had entered a Jedi with the Xiangjiang River in front and Xiaoshui in the back. Moreover, there are the Gui troops commanded by Bai Chongxi in the west to hold the Xiangjiang River, and in the east, Xue Yue, Zhou Hunyuan and other central armies cut off the Red Army's retreat to the east from Xiaoshui, plus the Hunan army in the north and Chen Jitang's Guangdong army in the south, the consequences are really unimaginable!
At this point, he thought that his suggestion in the Yizhang area was rejected again, and for a while, he felt that he had "the intention to kill the thief, but he had no power to return to heaven".
At this time, Jiao Yang walked in with a bamboo basket filled with fresh oranges. As soon as she saw the commander-in-chief's expression standing in the cold wind looking up at the sky, she knew that he was still worried about the future fate of the Red Army.
She knows who she is as a wife, and what she can do at this time is to give her husband some more comfort. Therefore, when she came to the commander, she deliberately picked out a big and ripe orange and handed it to the commander, so she said lightly: "Runzhi, you once said that Daozhou oranges are famous all over the world, and you like to eat them very much." See! With the money I saved, I bought a basket of oranges that had just been picked from the tree and ate them while they were fresh. ”
The commander looked at the big and fresh oranges handed by his wife, and a warm emotion rose from the bottom of his heart, he took the oranges, and said emotionally: "Okay, okay, I'll eat it right away." ”
Just as the commander was soothed by his wife and was about to make a big deal of fruit in front of the basket of oranges, Zhang Cheng shouted from outside the courtyard: "Commander, is the commander at home?" I've come to see you. ”
"Ahh It's that little guy in Zhang Cheng, I'm going to meet him. The commander hurriedly put down the orange in his mouth, and didn't even have time to wipe the juice on the corner of his mouth, so he hurriedly trotted out of the courtyard, and when he saw Zhang Cheng's heroic and slightly childish face, he didn't wait for Zhang Cheng to salute, so he held his hand tightly and said excitedly: "Okay, good! Our Red Army combat heroes are back! ”
Zhang Cheng was a little flattered, but looking at the commander's thin figure due to the illness a few days ago, he said emotionally: "Commander, you are much thinner than before, for the sake of the revolution, you must take care of your health!" ”
"Xiao Zhang, you've come to see us, quick, quick, come in and eat oranges. Lao Mao, you are really, why do you still let Xiao Zhang Qian at the door, come in quickly. Sister Jiaoyang also came out, and handed Zhang Cheng an orange as soon as they met.
Entering the room, the commander and Zhang Cheng sat down separately, and the chairman looked at Zhang Cheng deeply and said, "Amazing! There is no one who throws me. ”
It should be said that in this world, Zhang Cheng is regarded as a relative the most, except for Sister Jiaoyang, who is the commander. Therefore, after listening to the commander's words of praise, Zhang Cheng's tears were about to fall.
Zhang Cheng held back his tears, and said for a long time: "Commander, don't worry, Zhang Cheng will never let you down!" ”
The commander smiled and said, "Good, good, I believe in you!" Zhang Cheng, you have won several big battles in the past few months, especially the battle to eliminate Jiang Dingwen is the most surprising, tell me quickly, how this battle was fought. ”
Zhang Cheng did not dare to conceal it, and said in detail: "After receiving the task of the Central Military Commission, I thought that if I wanted to complete the task assigned by the Military Commission to block the enemy, I could not fight the troops to the fullest, and I could only turn the passive into the active, and I must strike first, not passively defend. At that time, I considered that Chen Cheng's 50,000-strong army was about to reinforce Jiang Dingwen, who was confronting our Young Communist International Division in Shicheng, and if his two armies met, our Young Communist International Division would face the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang 80,000-strong army alone with 20,000 horses, and no matter how it fought, it would have no chance of winning.
Therefore, I think it is necessary to seize the time lag between Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen before they meet, contact the local guerrillas to carry out a cold gun and cold artillery campaign, and delay the march of Chen Cheng's army. He also took advantage of our army's good athleticism to attack the place where it must be saved, and forced Jiang Dingwen to come out and fight a decisive battle with our Young Communist International Division. Then I ordered Li Yunlong's first brigade to capture Ningdu, and besieged Guangchang without attacking, but Jiang Dingwen was determined to be a turtle, Chen Cheng's army did not come, he would not come out, and then I deliberately sold a flaw, causing the hypothetical emptiness of Shicheng, Jiang Dingwen was so happy that he finally launched an attack on my Shicheng, the third brigade feinted, and lured Jiang Dingwen's army to the Dayou Township area bordering Ruijin, and the main force of our division was already waiting in Dayou Township, when Jiang Dingwen entered the ambush circle, he could not escape. ”
The commander's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "Okay! You have skillfully used the two magic weapons of our army's sports warfare and guerrilla warfare, and you can take the initiative to seize the opportunity, no, there is no opportunity to create an opportunity, so that Chen Cheng will fall into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, and you will fight fast and slow, creating an opportunity to eliminate Jiang Dingwen in one fell swoop, which is really wonderful! It is a pity that this movement warfare and guerrilla warfare are obviously very effective against the enemy, but the central authorities have abandoned these two magic weapons and persistently fought hard with the superior enemy in positional warfare and a war of attrition. ”
Naturally, Zhangcheng's city government would not say anything about criticizing the Central Committee, and he could only comfort the commander-in-chief to relax, saying that the difficulties of the Red Army were temporary, and the future was a great cloud.
On several occasions, Zhang Cheng almost wanted to ignore it, and told the commander the information that there was a Red Army in northern Shaanxi, so as to reassure the commander's heart. It's just that Zhang Cheng can't explain the source of the intelligence, and the commander now has only the right to make suggestions in the central government, not the right to make decisions, and what he says will not have any effect.
The time to get together always passed very quickly, and after lunch with the commander's family, Zhang Cheng gave a gift and left. After Zhang Cheng walked for a few minutes, when he turned around, he found that the commander was still standing at the intersection, like a parent sending off a child who had traveled far away, watching Zhang Cheng leave.
Zhang Cheng had tears in his eyes, waved his hand back, and immediately walked on the road without hesitation.
