Chang Kaishen had already calculated that the next move of the Central Red Army would inevitably be to join the Red Second Front Army in Helong through Xiangxi in the north, and he successively ordered and constantly urged the warlord He Jian of Hunan Province to build fortifications on the road leading to Xiangxi, and as a result, in just a few days, the Hunan army built hundreds of pillboxes on the border of the Soviet area and built an extremely tight blockade.

At the same time, Chang Kaishen also mobilized a total of 15 divisions of the Central Army and the Hunan Army, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, to form two major group armies, and waited for the Red Army to automatically enter the net he had laid out. If the Red Army really got into his carefully arranged "pocket" this time, as he expected, there is no doubt that what awaits the Red Army will be the total annihilation.

While Chang Kaishen carefully arranged the trap like a hunter, the tired Central Red Army was still trudging through the ravines and ravines.

The march was difficult, the troops had just been ordered to rest for half an hour, and the soldiers who had no task were hurrying to sleep.

However, at this time, the commander could not sleep peacefully no matter what, although he was already very sleepy, he stood on the top of the mountain wearing a military blanket, holding the cigarette that Zhang Cheng had given him before in his left hand, taking a puff or two from time to time, and his right hand was habitually crossed on his waist, looking at the scenery of the mountain in the distance, silently thinking about something.

Suddenly, he seemed to see the tall mountain peaks turned into majestic giants, and the bamboo forests and trees all over the mountains were like the hair on the giants' bodies, flying unbridled with the gentle mountain wind.

Yes! How much like the King of Qin in the ancient military formation, this is the beauty of strength! The commander wanted to ride the wind back in this beautiful scenery, and he was a little intoxicated.

He looked far away, looking at the endless magnificent mountains and rivers, and the magnificence of nature gave him endless inspiration, so in the dark he suddenly faced the strong wind, looked up at the sky and sang:

"Mountain,

The fast horse is whipped and not saddled.

Looking back,

Three feet from the sky.

mountain

Turning the sea over the river and rolling the huge waves.

Rushing Rush,

The battle of 10,000 horses is still in full swing.

mountain

Piercing the blue sky is not broken.

Heaven is falling,

In the meantime. ”

When the commander stood on the top of the old mountain boundary and enjoyed the cultivation of the magnificent beauty of the mountains and rivers, his heart was surging for a while, and he had the ambition to compete with the heavenly princess.

"Good poetry! Good poetry......" A voice of admiration suddenly sounded.

When the commander heard this, he looked back sharply, and saw that Zhang Luofu was standing behind him, looking admiring and admiring, so he waved his hand and said modestly: "Thank you for the praise, I dare not be ashamed!" ”

"May I ask who is the hand of this three-in-one and sixteen-character order?" Zhang Luofu asked.

"It's despicable!" The commander-in-chief did not give way.

"Really?"

"Sure enough!"

"When?"

"Just now!"

"What's new?"

"Yes!"

At this time, Zhang Luofu was even more surprised in admiration. He would never have imagined that after the defeat of the Red Army at the Xiangjiang River, the commander-in-chief would be able to compose such a bold poem in such a desperate environment. It's incredible, it's incredible! As a result, he fell into deeper contemplation......

"Luo Fu, what are you thinking?"

"I can't figure it out, how can you still be in the mood to write poetry and lyrics in this situation? And it is so majestic! ”

There is no doubt that the commander-in-chief was a romantic revolutionary, and he was convinced that the defeat at the Xiangjiang River was the inevitable result of the Red Army's erroneous line, but he alone believed that he could not set things right.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief can only hope that more comrades will awaken and realize that if the status quo of the dictatorship of foreign advisers is not changed, there will be no way out for the Red Army.

When the Central Red Army was forced to break through and move, it was the army that first awakened, and the generals of the army had the most direct personality, and whoever could lead them to victory would accept their leadership. It has been proved by practice that the Red Army can continue to achieve victories only under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, and under the command of foreign advisers, they constantly move from defeat to defeat, and in the end even the Central Soviet District is lost.

However, it is not enough for the army to awaken, and in the Workers' and Peasants' Party it has always been the Party that commands the gun. Therefore, he needs to wake up more comrades in the Central Committee, and Comrade Zhang Luofu in front of the commander in chief is already showing signs of awakening.

"The ancients often used poetry to express their aspirations! When you can't express your feelings in words, I think poetry is an excellent form of expression. ”

Zhang Luofu seemed to hear some indescribable words from these words, so he nodded thoughtfully.

However, Zhang Luofu did not come out this time to talk about poetry and poetry with the commander, he has always been a realist, so he got straight to the point and said: "Lao Mao, these days, I have never understood why our soldiers are so heroic, but our revolution is still failing?" I'd like to hear what you think, especially about those people. ”

When the commander heard this, he did not speak for a long time, and finally he said something like this: "I think now is not the time to hold those people accountable. ”

"That'...... If we don't hold accountable, how can we correct our mistakes? ”

"First of all, we must have a clear understanding of the situation between us and the enemy, and the top priority at the moment is to resolutely prevent the Red Army from repeating the mistake of the disastrous defeat on the Xiangjiang River!"

The commander's answer was concise and to the point, which made people feel unconvinced, and Zhang Luofu nodded again and again after hearing it.

After an extremely arduous trek, the Central Red Army finally broke out of the ravine and captured a small county town in the southwest of Hunan Province on December 10, 1934.

Located at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, the passage is a "passage" and is the main road to the southwest of China. To the north it leads directly to Xiangxi, to the west it can enter Guizhou Province, and to the south it can enter Guizhou Province. Where should the Central Red Army go next? This was a major question that would determine the life and death of the Workers' and Peasants' Party and the Red Army.

Since the heavy losses suffered by the Xiangjiang River have caused a tremendous shock among the high-ranking cadres of our party and our army, and in view of the open criticism within the central authorities and the increasingly rising voices from the commanders and fighters of the whole army, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission has decided to take a day off in Tongdao County and convene an emergency enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission to study and resolve the direction of the Central Red Army's strategic advance. This meeting was later known as the "Passage Conference".

On this day was December 12, and the meeting was held at the Gongcheng Academy in the east of Xianxi Town, and in the face of great criticism, the foreign advisers still refused to admit their mistakes, ignored the pocket formation that Chang Kaishen had already set up, and demanded that the Central Red Army continue to meet the Second Front Army in Xiangxi to the north.

At this critical moment, at a critical juncture when the life and death of the party and the Red Army were at stake, the commander-in-chief expressed his views with great courage and a clear-cut banner: "This plan will not work, and if we insist on doing so, we will certainly repeat the tragedy of the Xiangjiang River!" What is even more serious is that we have only a few troops left, and if we suffer any further heavy setbacks, we will inevitably collapse. ”

At this important juncture, the commander-in-chief's opinion won the firm support of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhou, who agreed with the commander-in-chief's proposal to "transfer troops to Guizhou Province, where the enemy is weak and weak."

Due to Deputy Commander Zhou's unequivocal supportive attitude, the meeting eventually became one-sided. Bo Gu, the general manager, knew that the general trend was gone, so he had to sigh and say, "Just follow Comrade Runzhi's proposal." ”

At this point, the new action plan proposed by the commander-in-chief for transferring troops to Guizhou Province has become a foregone conclusion. On December 12, 1934, the day of the meeting, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued an order for the Red Army to enter Guizhou on December 13.
