Chapter 30: The Battle of Tongues in the Passage
Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng was not polite, so he continued: "I just said, we need a goal to strive for, we need a strong leader, in fact, these are not enough, we also need the most solid executor and a correct strategic policy. Several of them were old leaders, and they all knew that the goal of our Red Army was to establish a Soviet New China, and in this way, the first element was solved. The second element, the most solid executor, we also have, is our strongest ranks of the Red Army. The third and fourth elements are two in one, because it is only when there is a strong leader that it is possible to come up with the right strategic approach. Conversely, without this strong leader, there can be no correct strategic approach. The correct strategic approach is extremely important, because it is it that guides the most solid executor to unswervingly and overcome all difficulties to achieve the ultimate goal! And at the moment, I have to say that we, the Red Army, are missing these two vital factors! And these are these two factors that can determine our life and death! ”
Seeing that the three of them were savoring their words and did not make a sound, Li Jiansheng continued: "I am a soldier and I don't understand these political issues, but I like history and I like to think, so I think about our current situation from a historical perspective and come to such a conclusion. If you say something wrong, please correct it! ”
Zhang Wentian glanced at ** and Wang Jia, nodded at Li Jiansheng, and said, "You spoke very well." Keep talking! It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's wrong! These people in our central government should also listen to the words of military commanders like you, because your words come directly from the grassroots level, and they are very intuitive and representative. Let's listen to it, just for reference! ”
Li Jiansheng got Zhang Wentian's words, thought about it, and decided to continue in his heart. At that moment, he organized his language a little, and then said: "As a soldier, our requirements are actually not high, that is, to constantly win battles!" But looking at the situation in front of you, this is not the case at all! Think about it, since the five anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Red Army soldiers were still the original Red Army soldiers, but the Soviet areas became smaller and smaller, which eventually led to a strategic shift in the whole army, resulting in the subsequent defeat at the Xiangjiang River. On the one hand, the enemy is stronger than before, and on the other hand, and most importantly, the strategic thinking of our supreme command organs has deviated, thus pushing the Red Army into danger again and again. Speaking of this, Li Jiansheng paused and said: "Why do I say that the deviation in the strategic thinking of the supreme command organization is the most important?" It is mainly compared with the fact that the enemy is strong. It is true to say that the enemy is strong, and in fact it is what our Red Army has always encountered. Let me ask you, from the first anti-encirclement campaign to the fourth counter-encirclement campaign, when did the Red Army not face several times the enemy? And what time did it not end with the final victory of our Red Army? Therefore, it is a fact that in this fifth anti-encirclement campaign, the enemy's strength has increased, and it is stronger than every previous time; But I don't think that's the key factor, because if we command it right, we might still be able to win with less, as we did the four times before! Therefore, I think the most crucial factor is still what I just said, that is, there is a deviation in the strategic thinking of the supreme command body! ”
Speaking of this, Li Jiansheng paused again, glanced at the three leaders, and said, "Why do you say that?" Let me give you a few examples. The main force of the central government crossed the Xiangjiang River, and such a major strategic shift, but they were reluctant to throw down the altars and jars, and the huge column of the Central Military Commission was extremely slow to move due to the weight of the baggage. If I remember correctly, on November 26, the column of the Central Military Commission had already arrived at Wenshi and the waterwheel, which was only 60 kilometers away from the first ferry port on the Xiangjiang River, and in four days, it only walked more than 10 kilometers a day. A lithograph machine made the Red Army, which served as the cover of the two wings of Xiangjiang Xinwei at that time, pay a heavy price. Do the leaders know that almost every telegram sent by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to the Red Fifth Division at that time was a request to 'continue to persevere'. What does it mean to keep going? Meaning casualties! Meant sacrifice! However, the Red Fifth Division fought for two whole days, and the central column was still crossing the river, and in these two days, the three battalion commanders of the Red 15th Regiment sacrificed two, and one regiment that was not full of numbers lost five or six hundred people! I think this is a direct manifestation of the deviation in the strategic thinking of the supreme command organ. This is not taking the life of a soldier seriously! And for us, the life of a soldier is the most precious treasure! Speaking of which, I also want to say what Commander Peng Dehuai of the Red Third Army said, that is, walking with a coffin like this is not a war at all! This is all about destroying the revolution in China! ”
After speaking, seeing that the three chiefs were still thinking, Li Jiansheng said again: "What do you need to fight?" The first point is to know the other side, so that we can survive a hundred battles. But we're not! If it's not like this, it's just that, don't command randomly, this chaotic command will kill people, and it's not one or two, one death is thousands of people! For example, at that time, the Red 34th Division was blocking the enemy in the Xinwei area, but in fact, they had already gotten rid of the enemy, and as a result, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission had a telegram in the past, and they had to act according to this telegram. You must know that the intelligence of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission at that time was completely wrong, and the marching route ordered in the telegram was all occupied by the enemy. More than 4,000 people! If it weren't for the immediate arrival of our Red Third Front Army, Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin's division, I'm afraid it would have been over long ago! Why is this happening? In the final analysis, it is not seeking truth from facts! In my opinion, this is a microcosm of the deviation in the strategic thinking of the supreme command organ of the central government in military command! As he spoke, he thought to himself: According to normal history, this division really doesn't have it, and I'm just telling the truth now, not cursing or anything!
The second example given by Li Jiansheng was obviously known to a certain extent by several people present, and they all bowed their heads at this time. The scene was extremely solemn for a while. When Li Jiansheng saw it, he immediately guessed that he talked about this fact when he met with Mr. Peng and others last time, and then Mr. Peng reflected this matter to the central government!
The scene cooled down for a while, and Zhang Wentian said again: "Comrade Jiansheng, we all know what you said, and it is really as you said, it is a problem of the central government. Then you know, what is the deep-seated reason for this? ”
Li Jiansheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it was difficult for him to answer the question when it rose to this level, but he had to answer the situation in front of him, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I think that the reason for this situation is, in essence, that our party is still in the early stage of party building, has no ideas and theories of its own, and will only copy and copy foreign experience, and does not pay attention to seeking truth from facts and not paying attention to independence and self-determination!" ”
Because Li Jiansheng was reluctant to say more, these words were very general. It's just that what Li Jiansheng didn't expect was that his few general words made a ** voice who had followed him to listen to the speech very early, and he had already noticed it but ignored it: "Hmph! It's just nonsense and demagogy! ”
