On the day of receiving the good news from Zhangcheng, the Red Army soldiers gathered on both sides of the Yellow River cheered loudly, which made the Jin army suspicious and reborn, and thought that the Red Army had a camp roar.

As a result, the investigation found that it was a Red Army that annihilated the Ma Jiajun who came to attack Qingyang, and after getting the news, the Jin army reported to Yan Laoxi as soon as possible, and Yan Laoxi got the report, and the Jin army was shocked.

Amid the cheers of the officers and men of the three armies of the Red Army, the commander-in-chief and the leaders of the Red Army celebrated in a big way, and everyone drank wine to celebrate the achievement, and the commander-in-chief even took advantage of the wine to write a press release entitled "Warmly Celebrating the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's Total Annihilation of the Main Force of the Majia Army," demanding that the "Red Star" publish it overnight and inform the whole party, the whole army, and all the people in the base areas of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Soviet Region of this great news.

Originally, the Central Army under Chang Kaishen was ready to move, wanting to cross the Yellow River east after the Ma Jiajun broke through Qingyang, in order to respond to the offensive of the Ma Jiajun and flank the Red Army.

After hearing the news of the Red Army's victory at Qingyang, Yan Laoxi immediately ordered the negotiation team of the Jin Army to quickly reach an agreement with Deputy Commander Zhou, who was in charge of the Red Army's negotiations, and agreed to take the territory of the two sides as the demarcation line according to the Red Army's negotiation conditions.

After the Red Army's victory in Qingyang, Deputy Commander Zhou was full of confidence, and naturally he would not hastily agree to reach an agreement with Yan Laoxi, but he flexibly grasped the proportions of the fire, and did not want to stimulate Yan Laoxi too much, for fear that he would completely fall to Chang Kaishen, so after extorting a large amount of military funds and salaries from Yan Laoxi, the two sides quickly reached a secret agreement on armistice, and the Red Army's Eastern Crusade ended victoriously after achieving fruitful results.

Under the wise leadership of the commander-in-chief, the Eastern Expedition defeated more than 30 regiments of the Jin army, transferred to more than 50 counties in Jin Province, annihilated more than 23,800 enemies, and captured more than 8,000 enemies.

At the same time, in the Eastern Expedition, the Red Army greatly expanded its strength, in order to defend the fruits of victory, more than 10,000 Soviet youths enthusiastically joined the Red Army, and after the war, nearly 8,000 Jin troops were mobilized to join our army, so far, the total strength of the Red Army exceeded 100,000 people, and the revolutionary force was unprecedentedly strong.

After the Eastern Expedition, the Central Red Army controlled the vast base areas stretching from Lüliang in the east, to Qingyang in the west, Ganquan in the south, and Ordos in the north, stretching for thousands of miles from east, west, north and south, and ruled over a population of nearly 10 million people unprecedented in history.

In addition, our army marched eastward into the wealthy Jin Province, smashed the coffers of more than 20 county towns, seized a total of 500 catties of gold and more than 10 million yuan of silver, organized more than 30 guerrilla units and Red Guards in the local area, established Soviet power at the county, township, and village levels, greatly developed the party's local organizations, and laid a solid nail in North China, established a solid anti-Japanese base area, and planted the revolutionary fire of resistance against Japan in the future all-out war of resistance.

As a great strategic action that affected the course of the Chinese revolution, the Red Army's Eastern Crusade played the prelude to the battle of the people's army under the leadership of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party to rise up against the Japanese invading army, laid a historical foundation for the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission to take Jin Province as the strategic fulcrum for persisting in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was an extremely important milestone in the victory of the Chinese revolution.

However, even though the Red Army was more than ten times stronger than the original time and space history, Zhang Cheng was still not satisfied, he asked the commander for instructions to launch the Western Expedition Campaign, took advantage of the victory to pursue, marched to the northwest, and annihilated the Ma Jiajun who dared to invade the base areas of our Soviet region in one fell swoop.

After the commander-in-chief and the Military Commission discussed, he quickly agreed to the plan of the Western Expedition initiated by Shao Zong, and the commander-in-chief was even more dashing, personally writing down the 14 characters of "It is advisable to chase the poor and brave the leftovers, and not to sell the name and study the overlord" to Zhang Cheng, encouraging him to make persistent efforts to eliminate the Ma Jiajun who had been entrenched in the northwest for decades, and make greater contributions to the Party Central Committee and the Chinese revolution.

After receiving the telegram from the commander and learning of the fourteen characters that the commander had written for himself, Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and ordered Quan Zong to actively prepare for the westward expedition.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of March 31, Zhang Cheng held a celebration meeting of the Qingyang victory and the oath meeting of the Ma Jiajun in the west campus of Qingyang City.

At the beginning of the meeting, the political commissar conveyed to the whole army the party Central Committee's commendation order for the Young Column and the 13th Division of the Fifth Army Corps, and presented awards to those who had made meritorious contributions in the Qingyang Campaign.

After the award was awarded, Zhang Cheng made a very encouraging speech to the officers and men of the whole column: "Comrades, in this Qingyang Campaign, under the condition that the 13th Red Division held out for seven days, our column traveled day and night, galloped thousands of miles to help, rushed to Qingyang in a short period of seven days, and annihilated the main force of the Ma Jiajun Army that dared to invade the base area of our Soviet region under the city of Qingyang, and achieved the greatest result of annihilating the enemy since the founding of our army.

After this battle, whether it was Chang Kaishen's Central Army, or Yan Laoxi's Jin Army and other warlords, they were all deeply shocked when they heard the name of our army! And the Ma Jiajun, who had been powerful in the northwest for decades, was even crippled by our army. Comrades, ironclad facts have proved that even though we are an invincible and invincible army, we are the strongest army in contemporary China! ”

Zhang Cheng's rare praise made the soldiers feel glorious and proud, the soldiers' palms were smashed, and the thunderous applause was endless, and for a time it overshadowed the loudspeaker in the venue, interrupting Zhang Cheng's speech.

Looking at the excited Red Army soldiers, Zhang Cheng pressed down with his hands again and again, signaling everyone to be quiet, and after everyone's excitement gradually subsided, Zhang Cheng said loudly: "I know that in the past 20 days, the comrades have first marched east to Yan Laoxi, and then galloped to Qingyang day and night, and everyone is very tired.

However, the Ma Jiajun, who has ruled the northwest for decades, has wantonly oppressed the good and the good in the northwest, reduced the people to serfs, and inflicted unimaginable cruel persecution on women.

If we let go of the Ma Jiajun easily, they will use the people's fat and ointment extorted from the people of the northwest to expand their army on a large scale, and when they become strong again, they will stand on the heads of the people of the northwest and make a fortune, and even stab our army in the back again when it is weak.

Can you watch this happen? Can you promise that Ma Jiajun will continue to ride on the heads of the people and be powerful? Can you watch the resurgence of the brutal Ma Jiajun? ”

"Can't!" "Can't!" "Can't!"

"Defeat the Ma Jiajun and liberate the Great Northwest!"

Seeing that all the officers and soldiers had ignited their fighting spirits and their fighting spirit was high, Zhang Cheng, who was very relieved, hit the railway while it was hot: "I order: Shaozong will pursue and kill the Ma family army to the end, and I will lead you to conquer the northwest and destroy the Ma family army." Do you have confidence? ”

"Yes!"

The fighting spirit of the soldiers in the whole column was aroused by Zhang Cheng, and at this time, Zhang Cheng did not hesitate to let them go to the soup. The vigorous campaign of the Western Expedition kicked off under the impetus of Zhang Cheng.
