Looking at the distant convoy, Lao Caizhong suddenly said to Zeng Zhongsheng: "Lao Zeng, do you say that our commander-in-chief is not sensitive?" ”

Poor sensitivity? Zeng Zhongsheng didn't react at once. I thought to myself, if the commander-in-chief is not sensitive, then there will be no good sensitivity in our army. You see, which one of those who fought was not sensitive to something in advance, and then formed an opinion on the enemy, and finally won every victory? But Comrade Lao Cai is saying this now, which is strange and does not fit his personality. When he looked up at Cai Zhong, he saw his smile, understood something at the moment, laughed, and said: "Lao Cai has a point, our commander-in-chief, is poorly sensitive!" Luo Ronghuan also spoke at this time, and said with a smile: "He, he's a poor sensitivity!" After a pause, Luo Ronghuan said again: "The fool can also see that those girls have a very good impression of the commander-in-chief, but he doesn't know it." It was okay that he didn't say anything, and when he said it, several people laughed. Zeng Zhongsheng deliberately raised his eyes and said to Luo Ronghuan: "Political commissar, I seriously criticize you, your political commissar has not done his job." At least, you don't pay attention to the commander-in-chief's family life. Luo Ronghuan said with a smile: "I sincerely accept the criticism of the chief of staff, because I should care about the family life of the commander-in-chief." However, we have only one commander-in-chief, but there are several girls, which one does he choose? Cai Zhong, Liu Qiao, Zeng Zhongsheng and others laughed for a while, and they all said that this kind of difficult matter should be handed over to the party General Li to command himself.

Not to mention that several chiefs were discussing Li Jiansheng's affairs, but it was said that Li Jiansheng led a large army to set off at 5 a.m., and at about 10 a.m., the convoy officially drove out of the Red Army Defense Area and entered the Red Army Defense Area in northern Shaanxi. The sentry post in front was the Red 25th Army of Liu Zhidan's Red Army of the Red Army in Northern Shaanxi. To the surprise of Li Qing, the leading commander of the convoy, it was Liu Zhidan, commander of the Red 25th Army and commander of the Wayaobao garrison, who led his troops to greet Li Jiansheng's headquarters at the outpost! Although he knew that his convoy had already sent a telegram to Yan'an when it was about to set off, Li Qingwan did not expect that he would be greeted by Liu Zhidan, a famous general of the generation who Li Jiansheng had put on his lips and the main founder of the Northwest Red Army and the Northwest Revolutionary Base Area, who personally stood on the side of the road to greet him!

Li Qing immediately got out of the car, first saluted and shook hands with Liu Zhidan, and at the same time immediately sent someone to the back car to send a message to Commander-in-Chief Li Jiansheng to explain the current situation. Liu Zhidan returned the salute to Li Qing and held his hand, but his heart was full of emotion. On the one hand, I was moved by a letter from Li Jiansheng more than a year ago, and on the other hand, I was moved by the large-scale team in front of me. All this has completely overturned his thoughts about the Red Army. Is this still the Red Army, which is called the Red Bandits? Is this his brother's army? When did our Red Army become so wide? Also, is it really as the commander-in-chief Li Jiansheng, who has never met before, but knows his environment and his psychological changes very well, speculated? Perhaps, without his letter, he might not be alive now? While he was thinking, the guard next to him gently tugged at his clothes, and he looked up to see a group of people on the opposite side rushing towards this side quickly. The first one was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was too young to speak, and there was a group of people in the back. Although he is young, Liu Zhidan still sighed at the moment: "I am so young!" After thinking about it, he immediately stepped forward quickly, and the two big hands were clasped together.

Li Jiansheng laughed and said, "But Commander Zhidan? It's more powerful than I thought! Liu Zhidan put down his thoughts, clenched his calloused hands, and said with a smile: "I can be regarded as seeing our Red Army god of war!" With that, he burst out laughing. Li Jiansheng also laughed and said, "Commander Liu's Eastern Crusade fought well!" Liu Zhidan said a few words modestly, and sighed in his heart: If it weren't for your letter, this battle might be my final battle. However, for now, it's all over, and everything is fine. Perhaps, it will be your judgment, right? looked at Li Jiansheng intently, and happened to meet Li Jiansheng's gaze, those crystal-like eyes seemed to be able to move everything. Seeing Li Jiansheng's smile on the other side, for some reason, Liu Zhidan's heart was inexplicable, and he no longer acted like a child at the moment, he really let go of his mood and seriously introduced several generals to Li Jiansheng who came with him.

Not to mention the ups and downs in Liu Zhidan's heart, Li Jiansheng's heart is even hotter.

It all started with a letter. A letter written by Li Jiansheng to Liu Zhidan more than a year ago, just after the Red Army joined forces with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.

It turns out that in the official history, Liu Zhidan can be regarded as a heroic figure and a tragic figure. Liu Zhidan's original name was Liu Jinggui, and the word Zidan. He was born on October 4, 1903 in Jinding Town, Baoan County (now Zhidan County), Shaanxi Province. Liu Zhidan has been involved in the revolution since his youth. In 1925, he joined the Communist Party of China, and in the autumn of the same year, he was ordered by the party to enter the Whampoa Military Academy. During the Great Revolution, Liu Zhidan served as the political director of the Fourth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and actively participated in the war against the Beiyang warlords. After the defeat of the Great Revolution in 1927, he traveled to Hubei, Anhui, Shaanxi and other provinces, engaged in organizing uprisings. In 1928, he organized the Weihua Uprising with others and served as chairman of the Military Committee of the Northwest Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. After the "September 18 Incident" in 1931, he organized the Northwest Anti-Imperialist Allied Army and served as deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff. In 1932, the 26th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established, and Liu Zhidan still assumed leadership responsibility. In February 1935, Liu Zhidan was appointed chairman of the Northwest Revolutionary Military Committee. In May, after the Red 26th Army and the Red 27th Army converged, they formed the former enemy's general headquarters of the Northwest Revolutionary Military Committee, with Liu Zhidan as the commander-in-chief, and led the main forces of the Red 26th Army and the Red 27th Army to conquer the six county towns of Yanchang, Yanchuan, Anding, Ansai, Baoan, and Jingbian after more than two months of mobile operations, annihilating a large number of enemy troops, and smashing the Kuomintang army's second "encirclement and suppression" of the Shaanxi-Gansu border Soviet area. In August, in the third anti-"encirclement and suppression" in northern Shaanxi and Shaanxi-Gansu border Soviet areas, Liu Zhidan commanded the main force of the Red Army, annihilated one regiment of the Jin Army of the Kuomintang, and forced the main force of the Jin Army to withdraw to the east bank of the Yellow River. After the victory of the three anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggles, the two Soviet areas of northern Shaanxi and Shaanxi-Gansu border became one and became the foothold of the CPC Central Committee and the Red Army after the Long March of the Anti-Japanese Red Army. In September, the Red 26th Army, the Red 27th Army and the Red 25th Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi during the Long March joined forces to form the Red 15th Army Corps, with Liu Zhidan as deputy commander and chief of staff. In October, he participated in the command of the Battle of Laoshan. Later, he was arrested and tortured during the "Purge" during the reign of the "leftist" line, but he always adhered to his principles. Soon, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China arrived in northern Shaanxi, and Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others quickly corrected the mistake of "suppressing rebellion" within the party in the Shaanxi-Gansu region, and Liu Zhidan was released. After that, he served as deputy director of the rear office of the Northwest Revolutionary Military Committee, commander-in-chief of the Red Army's Northern Route Army and commander of the 28th Army, and commander of the Wayaobao garrison at the seat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. But in fact, although Liu Zhidan was free at that time, his thinking had always been bullied by "left-leaning" ideas. Under these circumstances, in order to prove that he was not a rightist counter-revolutionary, he even had the mentality of begging for death. In April 1936, Liu Zhidan led the Red Army to the east, in Sanjiao Town, Zhongyang County, Shanxi Province, Liu Zhidan, a non-commissioned officer of the Huangpu Military Academy, who was born and had military qualities, knew that it was dangerous to command operations in an unsheltered place at the front line, was hit by a cold bullet and died. Later, Zhou Weiren said: "Comrade Zhidan died on the battlefield, originally he was a senior commander, there was no need to charge into battle, he was just to wash himself and prove that he was not a spy, he would rather charge into the battle and sacrifice himself, so he rushed forward inexplicably and sacrificed." Without this anti-rebellion movement, Comrade Liu Zhidan would not have been sacrificed. He died at the age of 33. Later, Mao Weiren inscribed a monument for him: "Leader of the masses, national hero." Zhou Weiren wrote an inscription for him: "Up and down for 5,000 years, thousands of heroes; The people's hero is Liu Zhidan. In 1943, Zhang Wentian wrote an inscription for him: "Comrade Zidan's line is the line of Comrade Mao Zedong, the leader of our party, the line of the Bolsheviks of our party, and the line of Marxism-Leninism in real China." Comrade Zidan, the spirit is immortal! "Liu Zhidan is a bloody man. In a highly similar situation to him was Zhang Zizhong, a senior general in the Kuomintang army. As the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army, he did not have to go to the front line in person, but in order to wash away the impression of a "traitor" on his body, he went to the front line in person with a heart of death, and finally died heroically.

Because he knew the development trajectory of history, and also sighed at Liu Zhidan's talent and blood, Li Jiansheng had already sent him a handwritten letter. The letter analyzed the current situation in detail, and "speculated" that Liu Zhidan had used self-sacrifice to prove his mentality, and then made speculations about the development of the Chinese revolution and the process of the Japanese invasion of China. In the letter, Li Jiansheng asserted that Japan would fully invade China within two years, and that the whole people would resist Japan at that time. In the end, he proposed in the letter, instead of sacrificing himself so early in order to prove that he was defiled, making his relatives hurt and making the villain happy, not provoking humiliation and bearing heavy burdens for several months, seeking a useful body, and sacrificing for the nation on the battlefield of resistance against Japan? Man, he is not afraid of death, but he is not afraid of words? Afraid of insults?

It was this letter that made Liu Zhidan deeply confined to thinking. Although he has not met Li Jiansheng, I have to say that his current life is really sad, because he is not trusted and only bullied. Not to mention, he really has the idea of dying on the battlefield and seeking to make a name. However, this letter made him think about it seriously. He could see in the letter that he felt a deep sense of comradeship and understanding. After thinking seriously for a few days, Liu Zhidan finally made a decision: Human words are indeed terrifying, but I am not afraid of death, how can I be afraid of human words? I just have to endure humiliation and bear the burden for a few months, and then go to fight against Japan! Sacrifice on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, that's just as Commander-in-Chief Li Jiansheng said, it is a well-deserved death!

After having this decision, although he still suffered all kinds of incomprehension and bullying, Liu Zhidan continued to work according to his original habits, and he no longer thought nonsense, but just stepped up training the troops. And the next developments, as Li Jiansheng speculated in the letter, happened one by one. Especially at the end of last year, the "Double Twelve" incident really shocked Liu Zhidan. You must know that in his letter, after a great deal of factual analysis and speculation, Li Jiansheng speculated that there would also be a split within the Kuomintang Party, and he speculated that the Northwest and Northeast armies, which were not part of Chiang's lineage, might mutiny against Chiang between late November 1936 and early January 1937. Although the analysis of the length of time of the incident spanned three months and the actual two months, it was impossible to accurately reach the day of "Double Twelve", but the analysis of the antecedents, time period, and the number of the troops that launched the mutiny was so accurate that Liu Zhidan sighed. Mo Mingzhong is also full of unprecedented hope for the future.

Seeing Liu Zhidan's current good mental outlook, Li Jiansheng thought to himself: This legendary figure of the Red Army seems to have walked out of the psychological haze zone. That's a good thing. Thinking of this, my heart was hot, and I understood the meaning of this legendary figure coming to greet him in person, and also sighed that he had done another good thing for the Chinese revolution: to keep this legendary warrior in the world.
