Chapter 82: The Zunyi Conference
Wang Jialie thought of this, and he couldn't breathe this breath.
Thinking about it again, I couldn't help but scold the red bandit in my heart. You red bandit, where is it not easy to go, but you have to go to the border of Hunan and Guizhou, and you have entered Guizhou? What's so good about Guizhou, nine mountains and half water and half fields, and there are poor people and ghosts everywhere, why are you here? It doesn't matter if you come here, but you've caused trouble for my old king. Because you have attracted Chiang Kai-shek and his Central Army. Well, if you don't come, Chairman Jiang will be embarrassed to occupy Guizhou directly for a while, and he can also spare time and troops to slowly clean up those disobedient guys. However, in your area, we are passive! Not only is it passive, but our current troops, being made by you like this, have no strength at all, how can it be possible to be against Xue Yue's people?
Thinking of the tragic situation of his two descendants, Wang Jialie, who was about to get angry, really couldn't lift his spirits. You must know that Comrade Lao Wang originally planned to act according to Chairman Chiang's order to block the Red bandits on the Jinping and Liping lines and to block the Red Army's entry into Guizhou. As a result, without waiting for their five regiments to go to Liping, the red bandits had already occupied Liping. Later, I thought that I had built a bunker on the front line of Lao Jinping, and the outside of the bunker was densely covered with bamboo sticks, hoping to make the red bandits retreat and continue to advance to Xiangxi. Unknowingly, this red bandit is strong, and it took him two months to get all kinds of obstacles, and the red bandit swept them all in one night, and then called directly. This time it's miserable, our troops who relied on this obstacle to block the red bandits, and didn't expect the red bandits to move so quickly, were defenseless, and suddenly gave the red bandits the upper hand, and almost all the troops were wiped out! What is the strength of their own double spearmen, that is still clear. To tell the truth, knowing that the enemy could not be defeated by these red bandits, he did make some small calculations, that is, he used the hands of the Red Army to clean up the three guys of Judah Guocai, Hou Zhidan, and Jiang Zaizhen, and then joined forces with the Gui department to block the Central Army in the east of Guizhou. Who would have thought that this red bandit was not at all as Chairman Jiang said, "he has been beaten to the point that he has only one breath left", but is alive and well. Don't you see, the troops of your 5 divisions in Guizhou were beaten to only one regiment in just over ten days? That firepower, let's be sure, is enough to compare to his old Chiang's Central Army!
This old Jiang is not a human! At this time, we are still calculating! Haven't you always listened to him and what Chairman Jiang said? Basically, Chairman Jiang asked him to beat whoever he wanted! It's just that last time it was a bit mysterious! As soon as the Jews occupied Guiyang, Chairman Chiang urgently issued an announcement appointing the provincial chairman, and didn't it clear that he might abandon and annex himself at any time? As soon as the Red Army entered Guizhou, Chairman Chiang's Central Army would inevitably follow, would he come to fight the Red Army or his own? I'm afraid that three points will hit the Red Army, and seven points will hit myself!
Thinking of this, Wang Jialie was bitter! He has tens of thousands of Xue Yue's divisions in the Central Army, and we only have one regiment at the moment, how can we be able to resist it? Fortunately, our local regiment and security regiment came quickly, He Zhizhong just reported that after two days of integration, it has barely been formed into a division, and Li Zongren's side is also interesting enough, and he also called yesterday, saying that a batch of weapons has been transported, and it is estimated that they can get to us today. Well, in this way, we can relax for the time being!
Wang Jialie really breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and thought about what to do later. However, before he could sit down, who had been circling in the room just now, He Zhizhong rushed in angrily, and when he saw Wang Jialie, he shouted: "Commander, it's over, it's all over!" ”
Wang Jialie was originally in good health, but this centripetal force was haggard, and he almost had a heart attack. He Zhizhong came like this, and he was stunned for a moment. When He Zhizhong reported the reason in detail, Wang Jialie was stunned for a moment, and finally sat down on the ground!
There is no other reason, just because of the bad news reported by He Zhizhong!
It turned out that just now, the red bandit came again, and he had completely annihilated the division he had just formed; As for the weapons that Li Zongren transported, they could fully equip a whole division of standard weapons, and before they could open the seal, they all fell into the hands of the red bandits!
It's the Red Bandit again!
Wang Jialie was stunned, first scolded for a while, and then regretted it for a while, regretting that he should not have promised Chairman Jiang to fight the red bandits, but now he has caught fire and let the red bandits bully him! - It's just that it doesn't make sense, this red bandit has already been beaten, how can it be fought back?
When I asked He Zhizhong again, I realized that the opponent was the Red Bandit and the Seventh Army. Thinking about this, what the Seventh Army may be true, Wang Jialie was really silent, and thought about his own way out, then He Zhizhong persuaded again, and said: "The red bandits march is very fast, the military seat is fast, if you don't leave, we will all be captured by the red bandits!" ”
As soon as he heard He Zhizhong's words, Wang Jialie was finally speechless, hurriedly informed his wife, and then fled from Guiyang in panic with the help of the only little guard. It's just that Li Jiansheng's department did not enter Guiyang, but after destroying this division and taking the weapons of the entire division, he turned around and went straight to Zunyi. Today, Guizhou is all under the control of the Red Army, the main force of the Guizhou army has been completely wiped out, and there are their own people to meet wherever they go, and the enemy pursuing in the rear is also far away, and Li Jiansheng's troops are marching very fast. In just ten days, Li Jiansheng's department had already crossed the Sword River and came straight to Zunyi.
On the way, Li Jiansheng handed over all the work of the regiment to Luo Ronghuan, and led the cavalry regiment and the guard regiment to Zunyi first. The Zunyi meeting was held as scheduled in Baihuizhang Mansion. Li Jiansheng, who participated in the meeting, was surprised to notice that Comrade Kaifeng's famous words to Mao Weiren did not occur during the meeting: "What do you know, didn't you just rely on the "Art of War" to command the Red Army to fight several battles? On the contrary, although Comrade Kaifeng did not explicitly support Mao Weiren, most of the time he did not say a word and did not express contrary opinions whenever Mao Weiren talked about it. This was a big surprise to Li Jiansheng.
As with the official history known to Li Jiansheng, the meeting was still presided over by Bogu, who first made a summary report on the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign at the meeting. This was followed by a discussion around the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign. Mao Weiren made a long speech, concentrating on the most pressing military issues at present and criticizing the military mistakes of the "leftist" opportunists. He said: If the enemy is strong, why did the first, second, third, and fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns achieve victory? He cited many facts to show that the government and the masses in the base areas strongly supported the war against "encirclement and suppression," and refuted Bogu's argument that the government and the masses in the base areas did not support them enough. Wang Jiaxiang spoke in agreement with ***'s opinion and expressed his support for *** to lead the Red Army. Zhang Wentian agreed with the views of Wang Jiaxiang and emphatically pointed out: In the current sinister situation, only when Comrade *** comes out to lead the Red Army can it break the enemy's encirclement, pursuit, and interception. Zhou Enlai made it clear in his speech that he wanted to remove Bogu from his leadership post and suggested that Comrade *** come out to lead the Red Army. Li Fuchun, Nie Rongzhen, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, and Chen Yun also spoke at the meeting, supporting the correct opinions of Wang Jiaxiang, Zhang Wentian, and Zhou Enlai, and agreeing to remove Bogu from his leadership post. Bogu, as in history, did not think that his mistakes were too big, Comrade Kaifeng did not agree with everyone's criticism, Li De desperately defended his mistakes and rejected everyone's criticism of him, Comrade Yilang was silent, and he did not know what to think, only Li Jiansheng felt that this Comrade Yilang's eyes often glanced in his direction. However, for some reason, the attitude of the four people this time is by no means as "quite imposing" as stated in the history books, on the contrary, judging from Li Jiansheng's feelings, most of them are cautious when they speak, only justifying their subjective thoughts, and rarely involving objective situations. This made Li Jiansheng unable to understand, and he didn't know if history was really like this, or that history books and movies had all kinds of performances, or that history had changed to a certain extent after he came, so that the attitude of the originally tense Zunyi Conference was as relaxed as it is now!
It's no wonder that Li Jiansheng can't understand it, you must know that Comrade Bogu, Kaifeng, Li De, Yilang and a few others, it is precisely because they were severely trained by Li Jiansheng at the gate of the passage city that they have today's results, otherwise according to the official history, they will never be so relaxed!
The meeting was hotly debated. Mao Weiren's current status has long been different, although everyone is red-faced, but he has always been smiling. At this time, seeing that the meeting had been going on all morning, everyone was still arguing, and then glanced at the several corps commanders sitting in a row next to them, as if they had thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Our little hero Comrade Li Jiansheng also came to the meeting, and I don't think he spoke." Do you want to listen to him? ”
As soon as Mao Weiren said this, everyone calmed down and came to see Li Jiansheng. Li Jiansheng is still sighing at this time, first, thinking that everyone's attitude is a little different from history, and second, thinking that the Zunyi Conference in history did not have his own, but this time he participated in it, which is really surprising! Therefore, when I heard Mao Weiren speak, I didn't react at first. Fortunately, he reacted well enough to return to normal in a flash of lightning. As soon as he stood up, he gave a standard military salute and said loudly: "Li Jiansheng, the commander of the Red Seventh Army, greets all the leaders!" ”
After showing up for a photo, Li Jiansheng didn't say much, but said calmly: "Chiefs, what should be said, I have already said it in the passage!" What happened in the end of the fifth anti-encirclement campaign can be proved only by the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Central Red Army. I am a military commander and I don't understand politics, I only know that I resolutely follow Mao Wei, who has always led us to victory...... Commissioner action! ”
Here, Li Jiansheng almost said the concept of "Mao Weiren", but fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed his words to use the name "Mao Commissioner" for Mao Weiren in Jinggangshan. Li Jiansheng's status in everyone's minds is incomparable. You must know that he was originally the leader of the Red Third Front Army, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and now half of the officers and men of the Central Red Army are supplemented by the original Red Third Front Army. At the most critical juncture of the Central Red Army, his Red Third Front Army followed up and turned the tide; More importantly, when the Central Red Army blossomed everywhere in Guizhou, his Red Seventh Army Corps, as the rearguard, created a great space for the whole army to move. Many veterans present at the scene remember that more than half a month ago, when the telegram of the three divisions of the Central Army and the 63 Division of the Hunan Army was reported to the central authorities, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, who was the first to receive the telegram, changed his usual steady and peaceful attitude, and immediately rushed out of the headquarters with his guards, shouting all the way, "Great victory in Qiandong, annihilation of four entire divisions of the enemy." The result was known to everyone. Comrade Zedong and Comrade Enlai, who were discussing other matters together at that time, were also alarmed, and they all came out of the room together, and they were all overjoyed to hear about it. Later, I took the telegram from Mr. Zhu's hand and read it, and I learned the details. Even a person like **, who is good at using soldiers, also high-fived and praised Li Jiansheng's actions in Qiandong!
You must know that after entering Guizhou, the Central Red Army, under the leadership of Comrade **, fought a lot of good battles, from skillful battles in Zunyi to forced crossing of the Wujiang River, there were both skillful battles and tough battles, and the troops of Liao Lei and Wang Jialie of the Central Army who pursued into Guizhou were beaten to pieces. Although only the column of the Military Commission and the 1st Army of the Red Army marched with him, which could not be counted as the strength of the entire Central Red Army, this still greatly restrained the enemy's deployment in Guizhou, attracted the enemy's attention, and allowed the 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 9th Red Army Corps to gallop across the land of Guizhou, and finally occupy the entire territory of Guizhou! **Powerful is also powerful here, in this battle, he personally led not many troops, although there is only one legion and another military commission column, but the enemies destroyed are much more than the other legions! At least, the Liao Lei Department of the Central Army was defeated by the troops led by Comrade **! Now, the only remaining regiment of this army is afraid that it has retreated to Hunan and joined the main force of Xue Yue's department!
Many of the people present were masters of using soldiers, and they had witnessed Comrade **'s use of soldiers like gods, and later they saw with their own eyes Comrade **'s admiration for Comrade Li Jiansheng's use of soldiers, so they already agreed with Comrade Li Jiansheng now. Li Jiansheng didn't know that in front of these historical figures, he was definitely "talking the talk". As a result, I thought he would talk about it for a long time, but he only said a few words. Unexpectedly, a strange scene happened: although the tone was still calm just now, but still arguing with reason, Bogu, Kaifeng, Li De, Yilang and a few others, heard what Li Jiansheng said, and stopped all of them at this time, didn't say anything, glanced at Li Jiansheng together, glanced at ** again, glanced at everyone again, and all fell silent. After a while, as if thinking for a while, Comrade Kaifeng stood up and said loudly: "I declare that I will retract what I just said, and I resolutely support Comrade **!" As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, including Li Jiansheng. Although Li Jiansheng knew that Comrade Kaifeng in history finally said this, he definitely did not say it at this time, but at some time in the future. It seems that this Zunyi Conference is a little different from the historical ones. As for the other comrades, they didn't expect Comrade Kaifeng's attitude to suddenly turn 180 degrees, and they all looked at him blankly. When Comrade Kaifeng sat down, everyone fully reacted!
Comrade Kaifeng's statement obviously has a certain effect. Comrade Yi Lang also made a clear statement later and supported Comrade **. The attitudes of Comrades Bogu and Li De have also been greatly relaxed. The next meeting will go much more smoothly. As a result, after intense discussions, and on the basis of the opinions of the overwhelming majority of the people, it was decided to entrust Zhang Wentian with the drafting of the "Summary Resolution of the Central Committee on Opposing the Five 'Encirclement and Suppression' of the Enemy" mainly based on the content of the speech. Li Jiansheng is too familiar with this resolution. Zhang Wentian drafted it, which was later "adopted at the Politburo meeting on February 8, 1935," and the resolution was mimeographed by the Central Committee on February 16.
Li Jiansheng received this "resolution" on the way to Sichuan with his troops.
It turned out that after the meeting, Mao Weiren made a separate appointment with Li Jiansheng, and in addition to expressing his appreciation for the successive victories he had led his troops to win some time ago, he also put forward a new demand: At the just-concluded Zunyi Conference, the enlarged meeting of the Zunyi Political Bureau unanimously decided to change the "resolution on creating a Soviet base area with northern Guizhou as the center" made at the Liping Conference to "establish a Soviet base area in the southwest or northwest of Chengdu." Therefore, the Central Red Army will go to Sichuan or the northwest to develop a new Soviet area. In this way, the various departments of the Central Red Army had new arrangements. At present, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Army Corps of the Central Red Army are all in Guizhou, of which the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 9th Army Corps are already distributed in various strategic points throughout Guizhou, and only the 7th Red Army Corps under Li Jiansheng's unit has not been in Guizhou for a long time, and it can take the first step, that is, according to the arrangements of the central authorities, it will enter Sichuan first, annihilate the Sichuan Army, or occupy one of the two places in Chengdu and Chongqing. In this way, it is possible to establish a new Soviet area in Sichuan with Chengdu as the center, or to continue northward and open up new base areas in the northwest or northern Shaanxi!
When Li Jiansheng heard this, he immediately said that he would resolutely complete the task, and thought: This is roughly the same as the historical facts in history. Thinking of this, he remembered something again, and Li Jiansheng said again: "Chairman, when our department attacked the Xue Yue Department of the Central Army, they completely annihilated their Huiji detachment, but I didn't expect that this Huiji is still a cultural person, he likes to read newspapers, and we confiscated their newspapers, and there is such a news on it, saying that another unit of the Central Army and Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army have won a victory in attacking the Red Bandit Liu Zhidan in northern Shaanxi, and it is expected that the Red Bandit will be completely annihilated within half a year. I mean, although this news is very bad for Liu Zhidan's department, I have to admit that it provides good news for us! ”
Li Jiansheng remembered that after the Central Red Army entered Sichuan, it was surrounded by the enemy, and he didn't know where to go for a while, and it happened that the soldiers captured the enemy's newspaper.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Jiansheng raised it, Mao Weiren's eyebrows moved, and he asked rhetorically: "Is there such a thing?" After getting Li Jiansheng's affirmation, Mao Weiren suddenly fell into deep thought, smoked fiercely, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Li Jiansheng: "The information you provide is very important. In this way, you lead your troops to set off first, and then enter Sichuan first! ”
Li Jiansheng saluted solemnly again, turned around and left, and led his troops to start a new round of battles!
(Ladies and gentlemen, that's all there is to it today)
