Just when the Central Red Army successfully concluded the Zunyi Campaign, a grand banquet was being held in the Nanjing Presidential Palace to entertain Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal in the northeast who had returned from overseas. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chang Kaishen, chairman of the Kuomintang Military Commission and a special-grade army general, patiently fooled his sworn brother with a spring breeze on his face and a lotus on his tongue, and immediately appointed him director of the Wuchang camp of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.

However, when the banquet was at its most enthusiastic, Chang Kaishen saw his confidential secretary hurriedly break in.

Chang Kaishen saw that he disturbed the interest of the banquet, and the smile on his face couldn't help but turn into anger, and he scolded in a low voice: "Panic, what kind of system!" ”

The confidential secretary obviously got the big news, and he ignored Chang Kaishen's reprimand, ran straight to Chang Kaishen, and presented the telegram.

As soon as Chang Kaishen looked at the telegram, his heart suddenly chuckled, the green tendons on his head jumped, his face became red and white, and his mustache also turned up.

The confidential secretary saw that his momentum was not right, and was about to step forward to reach out to help, but Chang Kaishen pushed him away, ignored Zhang Xuehao's curious inquiring gaze, and left the banquet hall directly.

The scene was chaotic, and everyone speculated about what had happened, which made Chang Kaishen angry.

Zhang Xueliang was even more panicked, he didn't know where to offend this sworn brother, he didn't dare to stay in Nanjing for a long time, and arranged a plane to fly back to North China overnight.

Not long after Chang Kaishen returned to the office, a more detailed information sent by Dai Li and Xue Yue's message of "asking for punishment" were presented in front of Chang Kaishen's desk.

Chang Kaishen was in an extremely irritable mood at this time, and after reading the telegram, he couldn't help but scold: "Niang Xipi!

How can this Vermilion Red Army become more and more powerful! This Xue Yue and Wu Qiwei are all rice buckets, I have repeatedly ordered him to be careful of Zhu Mao, be careful of Zhu Mao, and never fall for Zhu Mao, why don't they listen to me? Niang Hippi! ”

Chang Kaishen stayed alone in the office and scolded Xue Yue, Wu Qiwei and Wang Jialie, who was lying on the gun, for more than ten minutes, until he calmed down, he stopped this hysterical swearing.

Calm down and think about it, although Chang Kaishen was angry at the incompetence of the front-line generals, he released the Vermilion Red Army again and again.

But now the students of Whampoa have not grown up and are not of great use. For a while, he had no one to use, so he had to order a power message to appease Xue Yue, Wu Qiwei and other generals, and ordered them to lie down and taste their courage, and make meritorious contributions.

Subsequently, Chang Kaishen personally flew to Chongqing, and he wanted to personally deploy and dispatch troops again to plan a new round of encirclement and suppression of the Zhu Mao Red Army.

Under the wise leadership of the commander-in-chief, the five-day Zunyi Campaign finally came to a successful conclusion, in which the enemy annihilated two entire divisions of the Central Army and more than 10 regiments of the Guizhou Army.

More than 19,000 rifles, more than 500 light and heavy machine guns, more than 80 mortars, 18 mountain guns, more than 1 million rounds of ammunition, 5,600 shells, and nearly 50,000 grenades were seized.

The rest of the war materials were piled up, which not only solved the problem of the shortage of materials in the Red Army, but also greatly strengthened the Red Army's automatic firearms and artillery.

More than 10,000 enemy troops were captured, including more than 10 senior generals such as division commanders and brigade commanders, which can be called the greatest victory of the Central Red Army since its Long March.

The prestige of the commander-in-chief reached its peak after this victory, and all the commanders and fighters of the Red Army respected him like a god and believed in him wholeheartedly.

The victory in the Battle of Zunyi once again turned the surrounding area of Zunyi into a sea of joy, and the local people sang and danced to welcome the arrival of the Central Red Army.

After the central column entered Zunyi City, the Military Commission immediately issued a telegram order, ordering the first part of the Young Column to hold the Loushan Pass, and most of the rest to replenish and recuperate, and at the same time ordered the rest of the Red Army to start replenishing and recuperating in the cities around Zunyi.

Comrade Zhang Luofu, the provisional general head of the Central Committee of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, was in a particularly happy mood at the moment.

Since the Zunyi Conference, he has increasingly trusted and admired the commander-in-chief's strategic and tactical and military command skills, believing that it is more advantageous for the commander-in-chief to command in the frontline.

Therefore, Zhang Luofu passed a resolution of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to set up the former enemy command again, appointing Mr. Zhu as the commander of the former enemy and the commander as the political commissar of the former enemy.

In this way, the Central Committee was tantamount to completely handing over to the commander-in-chief the power of the Red Army to command the campaign.

At the same time, he also decided to take the opportunity of the rest and recuperation of the whole army to reaffirm the spirit of the Zunyi Conference in the army and strengthen the prestige of the commander-in-chief in the army.

On the morning of 4 March, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided to convene a meeting of cadres at and above the company level at the Catholic Church in the old city.

After receiving the notice from the political commissar, Zhang Cheng walked into the conference hall with more than 100 cadres at and above the company level, wearing brand-new military uniforms.

At this meeting, the Central Committee formally appointed the commander-in-chief as the political commissar of the former enemy, which meant that the commander-in-chief officially assumed the post of commander of the Red Army four years later.

At the meeting, everyone's eyes were fixed on the commander-in-chief, and after Comrade Zhang Luofu presided over the speech, he invited the commander-in-chief to speak on the stage, and this decision immediately won warm applause from the audience for more than ten minutes, and many people shed tears of excitement when they looked at the commander-in-chief's figure.

This scene left a strong shock on everyone, especially Comrade Yang Adviser and Comrade Bo Gu, who were on pins and needles in the applause of these ten minutes, and they were eager to flee the venue immediately.

After the applause gradually subsided, the commander made an inspiring and enthusiastic speech, and he said in a loud Hunan voice: "...... Since the Zunyi Conference, our Red Army has won a series of great victories and gradually seized the initiative in the war. This shows that the spirit of the resolution of the Zunyi Conference is correct.

I hope that all the officers and men of the Red Army will follow the revolutionary line laid down by the Zunyi Conference, forge ahead courageously, overcome all difficulties, open up new Soviet areas, and accumulate revolutionary forces.

I believe that it will not take many years to completely overthrow Chang Kaishen's dictatorship, drive out the Japanese invaders, regain China's rights and interests, and establish a democratic, free, prosperous, and strong new China with the people as the masters of the country! I firmly believe that our goal will be achieved, and that day will come soon! ”

These majestic and extremely agitating words evoked tremendous repercussions in the hearts of all the Red Army commanders present and were deeply imprinted in their minds.

After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, the meeting room once again erupted in long-lasting applause.

Some Red Army commanders slapped their palms red and swollen without realizing it, and Zhang Cheng was one of them, and at this moment he was immersed in the shock of witnessing history with his own eyes, and he could not extricate himself for a long time.

At the same time, it also caused a strong shock to the central political elites sitting on the rostrum, and they profoundly realized that the innate leadership style of the commander-in-chief was completely incomparable with ordinary people.

In the long-term work together in the future, they gradually learned that the commander really has the talent to stabilize the country and the country.

They were all secretly glad that they had made a wise and correct choice in the Zunyi Conference.

A trustworthy and wise helmsman was chosen for China, and in the future journey, they worked together to turn the tide and build a new China that the whole world looked at.
