Chapter 157 Hadapu "Gas Station"

In the Duoli Temple, the commander-in-chief and the heads of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission received a telegram from Zhang Cheng on the front line, and they were immediately jubilant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Luofu's poetry was full of excitement and recited: "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains." Lazikou, our road to the north was completely opened.

The commander smiled and said to the chiefs, "Yes! After taking Lazikou, there will be no more powerful Xiongguan on the road of our Central Red Army going north to northern Shaanxi, and the central government's strategy of advancing northward will certainly be able to achieve a great victory.

In addition, Shao Zong's battle was really beautiful, not only captured the Lazikou moat, but also won by skill, his own casualties were small, and the capture was large. Especially their special operations brigade, their combat methods are worth promoting.

Finally, we must publicize this great victory in a big way, and inform the whole party and the whole army, especially the Fourth Front Army, that I want them to show them that there is a way out for us to go north, and it is not the escapism that Zhang Guitao said. ”

As a matter of fact, the leaders of the Central Committee were still very annoyed that the Fourth Front Army was going south alone, so the commander-in-chief's opinion was immediately unanimously supported by all the leaders.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief, in the name of the party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Central Revolution, personally sent a telegram to the leaders of the Red Fourth Front Army, explaining that the situation in the north was very good, and demanding that they immediately stop the wrong line, quickly follow the footsteps of the Central Red Army, and go north together to establish a solid base area in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.

In fact, the commander-in-chief also knew that this telegram was of no use to Zhang Guitao at all, and would only make him scoff, but the commander-in-chief just wanted to tell Zhang Guitao that the Central Red Army's journey to the north was bright and the prospects were ambitious, and that it would never be as pessimistic as he said and would bring about its own destruction.

At the same time, another significance of this telegram was to report safety to Mr. Zhu, Liu Shuai, and other comrades from the First Army, and to inform them of the current good situation of the Central Red Army and the great victories it had won.

Finally, it is hoped that through their mouths, they can make propaganda to the officers and men of the Red Fourth Front Army, so that they can change their mentality and support the central government's northward route.

After the Shaozong captured Lazikou Township, he did not stop advancing, but crossed the snow-capped Minshan Mountain to the northeast, pursued the enemy army for nearly 100 miles, occupied the big grass beach in Min County, and captured hundreds of thousands of catties of grain and more than 3,000 catties of salt stored by the enemy in the big grass beach.

Minshan is the location of the heavenly court of gods and gods in ancient Chinese history and myths and legends, the birthplace of "Kunlun Mountain in the sea" and fairy culture and Taoism, the hometown of the ancestor of Chinese humanities, the god of sericulture, the ancestor of the god of tourism and the hero of water control, and the birthplace of ancient Shu civilization.

When Zhang Cheng crossed the Minshan Mountain, he looked around on the top of the mountain, saw the world of snowy peaks like the sea for the first time, and felt a world of myths and legends.

However, Zhang Cheng's heart to go north was very eager, and he didn't have much time to look at the scenery. After he led his subordinates down Minshan, he walked out of the Tibetan residential area and entered the densely populated area of the Han nationality.

This made Zhang Chengda feel like he had returned to the world from heaven all of a sudden, and he was still very excited when he saw the dense flow of people.

From the snowy white world to the fields where the golden sunlight shines on the earth, and smelling the fragrant fragrance of the rice flowers on the fields, this is tantamount to coming to a fairyland for the Red Army soldiers who have almost all been poor along the way, and have experienced many hardships and dangers.

In particular, the fragrance of rice flowers on the Gannan Plain, just like the taste of hometown, makes people particularly kind, and the soldiers smiled more unconsciously along the way, and soon sang cheerful songs, which attracted the people along the way to be amazed, and stopped to watch from time to time.

Since Shaozong formed the army, Zhang Cheng has constantly emphasized the importance of discipline, and everywhere he went, he never committed any offense against the people. Along the way, the fighters sang Zhang Cheng's latest plagiarized song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions".

Seeing that the Red Army soldiers were all speaking kindly and being polite, they gathered around them to ask questions, and the soldiers wanted to preach the policies and propositions of the Red Army to the people in a good voice, and soon won the favor of the people.

An old man in his seventies even sighed: "I have lived for more than 70 years, and I have never seen such a good army, which was originally called the Red Army!" Red army...... Red Army ......"

The old man kept the name of the Red Army in his heart, and his mouth kept repeating it.

When the Red Army soldiers arrived at the camp, in addition to consciously abiding by the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention," they also took the initiative to help the common people in their work, such as carrying water, cutting wood, cleaning, repairing ditches, and so on.

The actions of the fighters have been supported by the people, who enthusiastically invited the Red Army soldiers into their homes and gave them many small gifts, and the soldiers strictly observed discipline, did not take a stitch from the masses, declined the gifts, and were satisfied with just a sip of water.

The enthusiastic people seemed to let the soldiers return to their hometown Soviet area, and many soldiers shed tears of emotion, and the military and the people were extremely harmonious.

After descending from Minshan to Gannan, Zhang Cheng ordered the 4th Brigade to stay in a small village at the foot of the mountain and take charge of receiving the main force of the Red Army behind. In addition, Zhang Cheng also left a large amount of grain and materials seized in Dacaotan in the camp and ordered the Fourth Brigade to hand over to the central government to solve the urgent need of the central government for food shortage.

Zhang Cheng ordered the 1st Division to pursue the defeat of the new 14th Division, continue to advance towards Minxian, and contain the main strength of the Kuomintang army. He personally led the main force of the small column to the east and went straight to Hadapu.

Hadapu is located in the northwest of Danchang County, with an open area, convenient transportation, dense population and a prosperous market.

At this time, there was only one local security team in the town of Hadapu, and when they learned that the Red Army troops were coming, the security captain immediately fled with the money, and the soldiers of the security team put on civilian clothes and disbanded and went home.

Our army took this densely populated town without much effort, and also seized a large number of silver dollars and grain from the puppet town government.

On July 6, the commander and the central column entered Hadapu.

Hadapu is a very rich town with convenient transportation, and it is also the base of Chinese medicinal materials in Gannan, where the local angelica is famous all over the world and the business is very developed.

The Red Army has been marching and fighting continuously for more than a month, and the officers and men are extremely tired and in urgent need of rest. Moreover, many wounded and sick were added in previous battles, especially Deputy Commander Zhou and Wang Jiaxiang, who also fell ill one after another and needed a stable environment for treatment.

The conditions of Hadapu were very good, the products were abundant, especially the medicinal materials were very abundant, and there were no strong Kuomintang troops around, so the commander and the central leaders decided to rest here.

Later generations described the Red Army's rest in Hadapu as a "gas station" in the Long March, because the Red Army got a full rest in Hadapu and became energetic and high-spirited again.
