During the rest period of Hadapu, in order to let everyone rest at ease, the commander also put forward a slogan: "Everyone should eat well!" ”

In order to implement the commander-in-chief's instructions for rest and recuperation, the comrades of the logistics departments of various departments wantonly purchased pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, so that the soldiers ate three meals a day during the rest and recuperation period.

Zhang Cheng also handed over the newspapers about the Red Army in northern Shaanxi that he had collected during this period to the commander-in-chief and the central leaders. When the leaders saw the newspapers telling them exactly what the Red Army was doing in northern Shaanxi, they felt like they had taken a reassuring pill, and they no longer doubted the authenticity of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.

During the recuperation period, the fighters got a pleasant holiday, and their bodies and minds were fully relaxed. The heads of the Central Committee and the leaders of various ministries do not have this treatment.

On July 9, 1935, the Party Central Committee held a meeting of cadres above the regimental level at the Hadapu Guandi Temple, and the commander-in-chief made a "Political Report on the Situation and Tasks", and on behalf of the Party Central Committee, officially issued the "Go to Northern Shaanxi!" ".

This was the first time that the Central Red Army had put forward a clear and specific final destination since it left the Soviet area of Jiangxi Province in October 1934 to start the Long March.

When the commander and other central leading comrades walked into the venue, there was warm applause in the Guandi Temple. The commander waved everyone to sit down, and then said with a warm smile: "Today is July 9th, and it has been almost a year since we left the red capital Ruijin last year and crossed the Yudu River.

In the past year, we have traveled more than 20,000 miles, breaking the enemy's countless pursuits, encirclements, and suppressions. Although there were still planes in the sky, Chang Kaishen dreamed of destroying us, but we came over.

We have walked through Jiangxi Province, Hunan Province, Guizhou Province, Guizhou Province, Sichuan Province, crossed the Xiangjiang River, Wujiang River, Snow Mountain, grassland, and Lazikou, and now we are sitting in the Guandi Temple in Hadapu and holding a meeting in peace. This in itself is a great victory! ”

The commander-in-chief's stirring speech was once again met with warm applause.

The commander-in-chief continued: "The Kuomintang reactionaries have deployed 300,000 or 400,000 troops in the vicinity of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces to pursue and block us, and this cannot but be said to be a serious threat to the Red Army's northward march to resist Japan. Therefore, the task of going north to resist Japan is still very arduous. ”

The commander-in-chief continued to say wittily: "Thanks to the Kuomintang newspaper, which provided us with more detailed information about the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. There are not only Liu Zhidan's Red Army, but also Xu Haidong's Red Army, as well as the Red Army base area! ”

The commander-in-chief continued: "In order to adapt to the new situation, the central authorities have decided to reorganize the troops. The Shaanxi-Gansu Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was formed, with Comrade Peng Dehuai as the commander, and I as the political commissar, with four subordinate columns. ”

Finally, the commander-in-chief called on everyone in a loud voice: "Comrades, march forward victoriously." It is only seven or eight hundred miles to northern Shaanxi, and that is our destination, our anti-Japanese advance position! ”

The commander-in-chief took a sip of water and continued to report to the cadres on the current situation and tasks.

He concluded with five questions:

1. The seriousness of Japan's aggression in the north;

2. The situation of the base areas in northern Shaanxi and the Red Army;

3. The economic and political conditions under which the north could become a new base area for resistance against Japan;

Fourth, avoid continuing to fight the Kuomintang army and quickly concentrate in northern Shaanxi;

Fifth, strictly rectify discipline, pay full attention to mass work, publicize the significance of our army's march north to resist Japan, and pay attention to recruiting new fighters.

Finally, the commander-in-chief called on all the commanders and fighters of the Shaanxi and Gansu detachments to break through the blockade line of Guyuan and Pingliang, the last pass of the Long March, and join the Red Army in northern Shaanxi as soon as possible!

The commander-in-chief ended his inspirational speech with a wave of fists. The commander-in-chief's speech strengthened the confidence and courage of the Red Army cadres in victory.

After the meeting, the party Central Committee carried out the famous "reorganization of Hadapu" and carried out all-round "refueling" and adjustment of the officers and men of the Red Army who had been fighting for one year in terms of physical strength, daily life, material, spirituality, and troop establishment.

1. Improve food, restore physical strength, and replenish supplies.

In order to restore the physical strength of the Red Army commanders and fighters as soon as possible, the Red Army came up with a "unique order": each person in the whole army was given a piece of ocean to improve their food.

The General Political Department also specially implemented the slogan put forward by the commander-in-chief, "everyone must eat well," slaughtered pigs and sheep, bought chickens and eggs, and organized meals on a large scale for all catering units, and invited the masses around the garrison to have a meal together. After resting and resupplying, the Red Army's physical strength was generally restored, and everyone appeared to be in good spirits.

2. Readjust the structure, reorganize the troops, and expand the number of troops.

After the Central Red Army arrived at Hadapu, the party Central Committee carried out a major adjustment and reorganization of the troop structure in accordance with the needs of the new situation and new tasks of "going to northern Shaanxi" and immediately rushing to the anti-Japanese front, that is, "Hadapu reorganization." The current reorganization of the armed forces is another major reorganization after the "reorganization of the three bays."

After the reorganization, the Red First Army was under the jurisdiction of the Red 1st, 3rd, and 5th Army Corps and the International Column of the Young Communist Party, and four corps-level troops (the Fifth Army and the 32nd Army were merged into the Red Fifth Army Corps, with about 12,000 troops. ）

3. Analyze the situation, unify thinking, and boost morale.

The Hatapu meeting was convened by Red Army soldiers after being surrounded and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops and after climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands. In the face of the still grim enemy situation and the unfavorable factors of the Red Army soldiers' extreme exhaustion and the possibility of slackening their physical strength and fighting spirit, the commander-in-chief made an important speech enabled the officers and men of the Red Army to have a clear understanding of the situation in a timely manner, to clarify their tasks, to be greatly encouraged and invigorated mentally, and to receive vital "refueling" and encouragement in the revolutionary fighting spirit.

Fourth, tactically formulate an operational policy of feints to attack Tianshui and intelligently cross the Weihe River.

In the face of the enemy's strength and weakness, and the disparity in strength, how could the Central Red Army defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the enemy four times our size with 90,000 people? The commander-in-chief and the party Central Committee won a surprise victory, and formulated the operational policy of attacking the east and attacking the west, feintting to attack Tianshui, luring the enemy eastward, and crossing the Wei River wisely. The Party Central Committee made a feint to the east and threatened the Kuomintang reactionaries: "We will attack Tianshui."

At the same time, Chang Kaishen's mood was extremely bad. He had just issued the latest wanted warrant to the nation for the head of the Red Army, raising the reward for Vermilion to an unprecedented price of 500,000 oceans.

However, less than a week after Chang Kaishen issued the reward message, the hero's young column captured Lazikou again. After receiving the news, Chang Kaishen immediately ordered the air force to send planes to Lazikou to fly low to reconnoitre.

After confirming the news, Chang Kaishen, who was sitting in Chongqing, was anxious and hurriedly ordered his attendants and senior staff members to meet again to redeploy the national "anti-bandit" plan.

Chang Kaishen was in a very bad mood, he didn't even eat a bite of breakfast, so he walked into the command room in a depressed mood, habitually stood under the map marked with different combat symbols, and silently looked at the Loess Plateau in the northwest in a daze.

Half an hour later, without waiting for the "anti-bandit" meeting to begin, Chang Kaishen, who was a little disheartened, suddenly canceled the meeting, and he already had a premonition that the red bandits had been completely reborn, and it was very unrealistic for the Central Army to want to exterminate them alone, and the key was to see the cooperation of the Northeast Army.

For this reason, Chang Kaishen sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, asking him to send troops to blockade Weishui and block the Central Red Army.
