On January 8, after the Young Communist Division captured Loushan Pass and successfully joined forces with the troops of the Red First Army, he led the division headquarters into Zunyi City. Before www.biquge.info entered the city, he saw a long snake-like team in front of him rushing towards the Young Communist Master.

The political commissar said: "Look at this costume, it should be the leader of the first regiment who has arrived."

Zhang Cheng said: "Let's hurry up, we can't let the chief wait for us!" ”

Then the two of them threw off the large army, followed only by two guards, and hurried forward.

When he arrived, he was startled by Zhang Cheng, it turned out to be the head of the first corps, Lin Nie, who came to greet him personally, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar hurriedly dismounted, trotted a few steps, stepped forward and saluted: "Report to the two chiefs, Zhang Cheng, commander of the International Division of the Young Communist Party of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and Xiao Hua, political commissar, report to the two chiefs that our department was ordered to go to Zunyi to meet the main force of the Red Army, and the task has been completed." Please instruct! ”

After Chief Lin Nie returned the salute, Mr. Lin immediately asked: "No need to be polite, little brother, you can first tell me how these battles were fought, whether it is Shicheng's annihilation of Jiang Ding's cultural department, or the battle against Zhou Hunyuan's column, they are all classic battles that can be used as textbooks."

I've read all the detailed battle reports, but I'll listen to you first, you know, these battles are all fairy battles, even if I can't make up my mind to fight. ”

Obviously, Zhang Cheng's record was even impressed by Mr. Lin, and he couldn't wait to ask Zhang Cheng to explain in detail. Zhang Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Report to Commander Lin, I'll ......"

But Zhang Cheng didn't finish his sentence, but Nie Rongzhen stopped: "Let's go back and talk about it, I guess it won't be happy on the road." ”

Mr. Lin was still very willing to listen to Mr. Nie's advice on ordinary trivial matters, and he nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go into the city and talk about it." ”

After entering Zunyi City and coming to the headquarters of the First Army, Mr. Lin directly sat Zhang Cheng down: "Hurry up and talk about it, we are all anxious to listen." ”

Zhang Cheng said: "After receiving the order from the Central Military Commission asking our division to act as the general rearguard, I thought that if we want to fulfill the task assigned by the Central Military Commission to block the enemy, we must take the initiative to attack, fully mobilize the enemy, firmly grasp the initiative in the war, and absolutely not passively defend in a blind way.

At the time of the Shicheng Blockade, there was a time difference of five or six days before Jiang Dingwen and Chen Cheng's army met, so I made full use of the advantages of our army's mobile warfare to force Jiang Dingwen to take the initiative to attack our division, and then introduce it into the encirclement to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Mr. Lin nodded again and again after hearing this, and said: "Yes, the strategic decision is right, and I dare to make up my mind, this battle is well fought." When you have the opportunity, you will go to the Red Army University and be a teacher for the students for a few days, teaching them your tactical command. ”

In addition to serving as the commander of the Red First Army, Mr. Lin was also the president of the Red Army University, and he invited Zhang Cheng to give lectures at the Red Army University, which can be described as justifiable.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said modestly: "I still have to learn from Mr. Lin and your predecessors, how can I give a lecture to your big brother?" No, no, I can't do this. ”

Mr. Lin waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Don't postpone, this matter is settled." Let's talk about the battle with Zhou Hunyuan.

I know this person Zhou Hunyuan, this person is brave and strategic, he is Chang Kaishen's right-hand man, and he has fought with all units of our Red Army, which has made us suffer a lot of losses. ”

Zhang Cheng said: "At that time, our division was responsible for covering the column of the Military Commission to cross the river and to be the rear of the whole army. I just thought, among the enemies who pursued our army on several roads, Zhou Zong was the strongest and pursued the most fiercely, and I think he must also be the most arrogant.

They must have thought that our army had long been powerless to fight back, and that they could only flee in confusion. So I set the target of the attack on Zhou Zong.

At that time, Zhou Zong divided his troops into two routes to attack Wenshi and the watermill where our division was stationed, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's division of troops to concentrate my forces to counterattack Zhou Zong's two divisions in the waterwheel, and after destroying the two divisions of the waterwheel, I would return to Shiwenshi to defeat Zhou Zong in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the two divisions of Wenshi retreated ahead of schedule after hearing the news, and only half of the campaign goal was achieved. ”

Mr. Lin bowed his head and was silent, and said after a while: "The technical content of this battle is not high, it is purely to overwhelm people by force, how many people are in your troops, how is the equipment, how can it be overwhelming Zhou Zong in a head-on confrontation?" ”

Zhang Cheng did not hide it, and said in detail: "When our division was established, there were about 9,500 people, and in the battles of Tuancun, General's Palace, Qiujia Pass, etc., our division defeated the enemy army one after another and captured a large number of Kuomintang soldiers.

In view of this situation, our division carried out extensive activities of heart-to-heart talks and grievances, and actively mobilized prisoners to join the Red Army; in these battles, although our division lost two or three thousand men and horses, through the transformation of prisoners, the number of troops soon reached 15,000.

After returning to the Soviet area, the Central Committee of the regiment supplemented our division with five or six thousand men one after another, and before the Long March, the strength of our division had reached more than 20,000 people.

In the course of the Long March, our division won several victories one after another, and continued to mobilize prisoners to join the Red Army, and so far, the strength of our division has reached 36,000 people. ”

"Hiss......"

Even though they were as calm as Lin Nie, the two bosses, after hearing Zhang Cheng report that the total strength of the Young Communist Division had reached 36,000 people, the two of them still gasped at the same time.

After a long time, Mr. Lin muttered: "36,000 people, only compared to the combat troops, the men and horses of your division have already surpassed our main Red Army." ”

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he was also surprised, the strength of his own troops had actually surpassed that of the main Red Army?!

Political Commissar Xiao Hua was also a little weak-hearted and asked, "Two CEOs, will there be a problem with this?" ”

Mr. Nie waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, not only are you not guilty, but you have merit!" If you were in the Soviet zone, you would have made a mistake if you were to expand your ranks so wantonly.

However, this is a special period, and our army has lost most of its strength in the battle on the Xiangjiang River, and there is a serious shortage of troops. ”

Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they heard this, Nie is always an old qualified political work cadre, and if he says that there is no problem, then there must be no problem.

However, Mr. Nie said: "But you also have to be mentally prepared, the Military Commission is likely to ask you to slim down the International Division of the Young Communist Party and replenish the extra troops to other troops." ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it's not easy to manage if there are too many people, and I and Political Commissar Xiao Hua are about to lose our heads for these more than 30,000 people, and it is exactly what we want to add to other main forces." ”

When Lin Nie and the two bosses heard this, they suddenly glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a fox-like smile.

Mr. Lin said again: "Little brother, I am your eldest brother, and the extra troops in your army should simply be handed over to the eldest brother's first army." ”

Before Zhang Cheng could agree, a roar suddenly came from outside the door: "Okay, you Lin Husan, no wonder I can't find you for a long time, it turns out that you have made a surprise attack."

Zhang Cheng boy, don't promise him, he is fighting too yin, let's hand over the soldiers to my three legions, the three legions are open to war, and my old Peng will never treat your soldiers badly. ”

Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua glanced at each other, and they both felt helpless, these bosses are going to have a fight, they are caught in the middle, what should they do.
