Since the International Division of the Young Communist Party effectively blocked the pursuit of the Central Army of the Kuomintang in the Liping area, the Central Red Army had only one weak enemy after entering Guizhou Province, and the Central Red Army was naturally overwhelmed and progressed smoothly all the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the vanguard of the right flank, the Red First Army entered the Jianhe River on the 20th, captured Shi Binghe Zhenyuan on the 25th, divided the troops and advanced rapidly on the 28th, and successively captured Yuqing and Huangping, and even took five cities in a few days.

On December 26, the Young Communist Division sent a telegram to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, reporting in detail the victory of the Liping Resistance Battle and asking the Central Committee for instructions on the next move.

The Central Military Commission of the Central Revolution quickly sent a telegram back: It warmly congratulated the International Division of the Young Communist Party on its victory in Liping and informed the whole army of its commendation. At the same time, the next action against the International Division of the Young Communist Party was to keep up with the pace of the Central Red Army and block any unit that dared to pursue our army.

Reading between the lines, it reflects the great trust of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission in the Young Communist Division, and handed over the back road of the whole army to the Young Communist Division. After reading this telegram, Zhang Cheng and the comrades of the division's party committee all felt heavy in their hearts, and they only felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavier.

The next day, an uninvited guest came to the headquarters of the Liping Division of the Young Communist Division, and Zhang Cheng received this guest accompanied by members of the division's party committee.

Guo Siyan was bold, did not hide the slightest, and made his intentions clear from the point, saying that he would follow Chen Cheng's old example and use the Red Army's capture of the ocean to ransom the captured officers and soldiers of the Central Army.

Although Zhang Cheng was extremely moved, after all, it was the other party who opened his mouth first, so Zhang Cheng took a pinch of it, and after some verbal arguments, the two sides reached an agreement to exchange prisoners of war. At noon the next day, the two sides exchanged a total of 4,000 prisoners of war, and the Central Army also ransomed 300 Kuomintang officers for 1 million oceans.

After the deal was concluded, Zhang Cheng immediately asked the doctors of the field hospital to actively treat the Red Army soldiers whose bodies had been severely damaged by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and these Red Army soldiers were veterans of a hundred battles, and as long as their bodies recovered and joined the International Division of the Young Communist Party, the combat effectiveness of the Young Communist Division could be greatly increased.

At present, the composition of the fighters of the Young Communist Division is becoming more and more complicated, and as a result of the successive capture of a large number of Kuomintang soldiers, the proportion of soldiers of the former Kuomintang army has continued to rise, and the ratio of the original child soldiers to the original has reached almost 5 to 5.

However, if 4,000 veteran Red Army soldiers with rich combat experience join the Young Communist Division, it will inevitably be able to neutralize the contradictions between the two sides, and with the participation of a third-party force, it will also be possible to achieve a balance within the troops, and the triangle will be the most balanced, the strongest and the most reliable.

Except for a few who insisted on returning to their original units, the vast majority of the 4,000 veteran Red Army members were willing to join the Young Communist Division, so that the strength of the Young Communist Division reached an unprecedented 36,000 men.

Zhang Cheng had some thoughts in his heart at this time, it would be too inappropriate for such a huge army to use division-level establishment, and it was not conducive to the management and command of the troops, so it should be promoted to the corps level.

However, Zhang Cheng also understands that the Zunyi Conference has not yet been held, and there is still some time before the commander and his old man fully take charge of the military and political power, so let's wait for some time.

After the Central Red Army penetrated deep into Guizhou Province, it found that the poor here were particularly poor and were vividly called "dry people" because their blood and sweat had been squeezed out of all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Therefore, everywhere the Red Army went, there were "dry people" begging for them. These "dry people" are unclothed and skinny. This scene shocked every commander and fighter of the Red Army, and many could not help but shed tears.

On the march of the Red Army, passing through Jianhe County on the south bank of the Wujiang River, people saw an old woman in her 60s and her little grandson still wearing patches and patches in the cold winter, lying dying on the side of the road. The commanders and fighters of the Red Army immediately surrounded them.

At this time, the commander came from behind, saw a lot of people around the front, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

A Red Army soldier replied: "The old mother said that all the grain her family had harvested in a year had been robbed by the landlords, and her son had also been arrested by the Kuomintang a few days ago. She had no way to live, so she had to beg for food with her little grandson. Hearing this, the commander was already in tears.

He immediately took off the sweater that his wife had knitted for him, and asked the guards to bring two bags of dry food and give them to the old woman along with the sweater.

He squatted down and said to the desperate old man kindly: "Old man, you remember, we are the Red Army, and the Red Army is the army of 'dry people'. The old man in the sweater nodded movingly, and muttered in a loud voice: "Red Army, Red Army ......" led her little grandson and walked away tremblingly.

Looking at the old man's distant back, the commander had tears in his eyes and fell into a long contemplation, he was worried about the fate of China, the fate of the Chinese revolution, and the life and death of the Red Army.

Everyone was still gathered in place, and they were shocked to see the commander in tears, as a great man of a generation, the commander is like steel, and he will never shed tears easily, which shows how much this incident stimulates the commander.

After regaining calm, the commander saw that everyone was surrounding him, and he also wanted to use this incident to educate the soldiers, and the commander said on the spot: "What do we see from this old mother? What we see is by no means what happened to this old mother's family, but a microcosm of our disaster-stricken motherland, which has fallen into the point of hunger and cold!

The Motherland and the people are like this, so what about our tasks? Our task is precisely to save our motherland and people from the dire situation. The task is daunting, but also glorious! ”

In connection with the tasks at hand, the commander-in-chief continued: "Comrades! This glorious task, we must accomplish! This purpose must be achieved! At present, what is in front of us is the dangerous Wujiang River, which is turbulent and turbulent, and there are countless difficulties and obstacles. We must move forward bravely and step out of a path in the wind and waves! ”

At this time, the commander-in-chief had realized that he could no longer allow the leaders of the Soviet faction to continue to carry out the wrong line, and that he had no way to retreat if he wanted to save the fate of China.

The commander-in-chief knew the crux of the Red Army's problems: before the Red Army broke through and moved, the Central Committee delegated military command to the highest "three-man regiment." In other words, if the decisions of the Liping Conference and the future military plans that run counter to the Supreme "Three-People's Regiment" are to be ensured, the Central Committee must withdraw the military powers delegated to the Supreme "Three-People's Regiment."

However, the members of the supreme "three-man group" included not only Bo Gu, who was in charge of the overall responsibility of the Party Central Committee, and foreign advisers sent by the Comintern, but also Zhou Xiangyu, the general political commissar of the Red Army who had high prestige and real power. If the three of them were to investigate the reasons for removing the command of the supreme "three-man regiment," how would they reply?

If it was proposed that the supreme "three-man regiment" carried out a wrong military line, would Zhou Xiangyu approve of it? How many members of the Politburo will vote in favor? Moreover, from the day of the birth of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party, personnel changes in the Central Committee had to be approved in advance by the Comintern.

Now, as a result of the breakthrough and transfer of the Red Army of the Central Committee, the Party Central Committee, which had moved with the Red Army, had lost contact with the Comintern, what would they do if Bo Gu, Yang Advisers, Kaifeng and others refused to convene a meeting of the Central Committee on personnel changes under the pretext that they had not obtained the approval of the Comintern?

In this regard, the commander-in-chief once again fell into deep worry.
