After receiving a special telegram from the central government, Li Jiansheng was only secretly surprised in his heart, feeling that although this historical trajectory was slightly deviated, it finally returned to the original point. I don't say much at the moment, it's just recruitment, training, martial arts competitions, and production. He Long and a few others are also veterans in this regard, so naturally they are not a problem. You must know that in the official history, the Red Army of all walks of life finally arrived in northern Shaanxi after the Long March, only the He Long Division of the Red Second Front Army and the Red 25th Army Headquarters had the least attrition. One of the most important points is that bases have been established along the road. And right now, what Li Jiansheng is doing is exactly what He Long has done in history! You must know that one of Li Jiansheng's specialties is the study of history, and he knows too well what the results of the troops without a base area will be. Therefore, at all times, he is responsible for developing the base area. This was the case in the development of the Hunan, Guangdong, and Jiangxi base areas in those years, and the same was true on the Long March later. It is precisely because he has always paid attention to these fundamental tasks that his Li Jiansheng's troops have become stronger and stronger, and they have the scale of more than 100,000 people today!

Not to mention Li Jiansheng's exclamation, but to say that on July 6, a full month earlier than the official history, the Central Committee held a meeting and decided that Zhou Enlai would be the commander and political commissar of the Red Army, Zhou Kun would be the chief of staff, and Li Fuchun would be the director of the Political Department. Immediately afterwards, the First and Fourth Front Armies of the Red Army were mixed into the Left and Right Route Armies and entered the vast grassland that was inaccessible and the climate was unpredictable.

On July 20, Li Jiansheng and He Long received a telegram from the central government, and the Red Second Front Army and the Red Third Front Army were also divided into two route armies, the left and the right, and continued to advance northward along the mountainous areas on the border of Sichuan and Hunan. After receiving the order, the two discussed it for a while and decided to adhere to the instructions of the central authorities. The Red 6th Army Corps of the Red Second Front Army, that is, the Red 16th Division and the Red 17th Division of the Red Second Front Army, as well as the Red 18th Division, which came from the base area after receiving the order, and the Red 18th Division, Red 19th Division, and Red 20th Division of the Red Third Front Army, as well as the logistics headquarters, and some directly subordinate troops, led by Li Jiansheng and Ren Bishi, formed the Left Route Army and moved north. The Red 2nd Army Corps of the Red Second Front Army, namely the Red 4th Division, the Red 5th Division, and the Red 6th Division of the Red Second Front Army, and the Red 15th, 16th, and 17th Red Divisions of the Red Third Front Army, as well as the Recruit Training Headquarters, and some directly subordinate troops, led by He Long and Luo Ronghuan, formed the Right Route Army and moved north.

On August 18, Li Jiansheng and He Long, who were still on the road, received telegrams from the central authorities, but they were about the Red First and Red Fourth Front Armies. The Right Route Army of the Red First and Fourth Front Armies, which had already entered Shaanxi and Gansu, was reorganized into the Shaanxi-Gansu Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with General Peng as commander and Mao Weiren as political commissar. As for the Left Route Army, after entering Gansu, it was successively attacked by the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia. Although it is not as tragic as it was in history, it still suffers heavy losses. After receiving the telegram, Li Jiansheng's heart was like a knife, and he made up his mind that after returning to northern Shaanxi this time, he must annihilate all these Ma family troops! Therefore, after making up his mind, he discussed with Comrade Ren Bishi, and finally decided that the whole army would go straight to Shaanxi. At the same time, he sent a telegram to He Long and Luo Ronghuan, and the two armies went hand in hand!

At the same time, the Shaanxi-Gansu detachment crossed the Minshan Mountains, successively captured Lazikou, broke through the Weihe blockade, crossed the Liupan Mountain, and arrived at Wuqi Town (now Wuqi County) in the Shaanxi-Gansu District on October 1, about 20 days earlier than in history. At this point, the main force of the Red Front Army lasted one year, crisscrossed 11 provinces, and the Long March of 25,000 miles came to a successful end. When they arrived at the base area, only about 42,000 men remained. Li Jiansheng received a special call on the road, and sighed in his heart, this is much better than in history. You must know that when the Central Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi in history, there were only more than 6,000 people left!

Knowing that after the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Li Jiansheng let go of the burden in his heart, so he happily discussed a series of military actions with Ren Bishi, and then sent a telegram to He Long and Luo Ronghuan, which received full support. As a result, the enemy who pursued and intercepted them along the way was miserable. First of all, after the Zhou Hunyuan Department of the Central Army was once again eaten up by one brigade and two regiments, greatly improving the equipment of the Red Second Front Army, Li Jiansheng commanded the cavalry brigade and the special service brigade to join forces to raid Liao Lei of the Hunan Army, and vividly wrapped the artillery of a whole regiment that Liao Lei's unit had just equipped. By the time Liao Lei reacted and chased after him, Li Jiansheng's department had already transported the new equipment of the regiment away. And Liao Lei's brigade, which was chasing, was completely annihilated by He Long's command post. Only at this time did Liao Lei react and refused to pursue anymore. Most of the other troops who heard the news did not dare to chase too closely. Only Liu Xiang's subordinates were still chasing, but as a result, how could the poorly equipped Sichuan army be the opponents of Li Jiansheng and He Long's subordinates? A whole division, before he could react, was made dumplings by Li Jiansheng and He Long. Fortunately, both of them knew that the Sichuan army was not well prepared, but the source of troops was good, so they were not willing to kill them, but only attracted surrender. As a result, there were more than 5,000 people in this division, and they were added by He Long and Li Jiansheng to five people, and one and a half were covered. So far, He Long's department has grown to 30,000 people!

This series of victories made the Central Army, the Hunan Army and the Sichuan Army dare not move. In this way, Li Jiansheng and He Long freed their hands and organized the troops to continue north.

At the end of February 1936, after the victory of the Red First Army in the Eastern Crusade, Li Jiansheng, He Long and others led the Red Second and Red Third Front Armies, with a total of more than 140,000 yuan, to the Shaanxi and Gansu revolutionary base areas. On February 28, the headquarters of Nie Rongzhen of the Red First Army joined forces with the Left Route Army of the Second and Third Front Armies of the Red Army that had rushed to Li Jiansheng and Ren Bishi in the Ganzi area. The two sides were very happy to see each other. On March 3, the headquarters of Xu Haidong of the Red Front Army joined forces with the Second and Third Front Armies of the Red Army under He Long and Luo Ronghuan who arrived next in Huining. On 7 March, the Yuntian Headquarters of the Red Third Front Army received the headquarters of the Left Route Army of the Red First and Red Fourth Front Armies in the Ganzi area.

said that after Li Jiansheng and Nie Rongzhen met, they were not in a hurry to see Mao Weiren, but just sent a telegram in their own name. However, it is an operational plan, mainly to open up the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo base area and annihilate the Ma Jiajun. After Mao Weiren carefully studied this plan, he also guessed that Li Jiansheng had already prepared, and he was very annoyed by the heavy losses of the Red Army's Left Route Army, and he believed in the strength of Li Jiansheng's troops, so he agreed to this plan.

In the following month or so, Li Jiansheng's department only did three things: first, to rebuild; Second, rest and recuperate; Third, prepare for war.

On April 1, Li Jiansheng personally led the Special Service Brigade, the Reconnaissance Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the Engineer Brigade, the Red 20th Division, the Red 19th Division, and the Red 18th Division, with the assistance of Zeng Zhongsheng and Yuntian, to quietly move to the old base camp of the Ma Jiajun. Luo Ronghuan then led the Red 15th Division, Red 16th Division, Red 17th Division and artillery brigade to follow. As for Cai Zhong, he led the recruit training headquarters to reorganize training on the spot.

A big battle with the ultimate goal of annihilating the Ma Jiajun quietly kicked off!
