At the end of June, the Red 4th Army and the Red 5th Army transferred to Hunan, and according to the orders of the Central Committee, the current situation required the formation of the Red 1st Army, the Red 3rd Army and the Jiujiang Red 5th Army. Peng Dehuai led the Red Third Army in early August. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Changsha's troops, Changsha was conquered in one fell swoop. He Jian, who was sitting in Changsha, fled in embarrassment and almost became a prisoner. However, the situation did not allow for optimism, and the warlords in various localities saw the strength of the Red Army and spontaneously joined forces to deal with it. Therefore, the Red Third Army was forced to withdraw from Changsha after less than 9 days of capturing Changsha.

In fact, the Red Third Army Corps under Peng Dehuai did not have the conditions to capture Changsha at all, and the Central Committee ordered the Red Third Army Corps to attack Wuhan. However, Peng Dehuai was sober, he did not attack Wuhan directly, but used a compromise plan to go north to attack Yuezhou first, attract the enemy to return to Wuhan, and then wave his army to attack Changsha, on the surface Changsha has 30,000 troops, but the vast majority are landlord arms. And Peng Dehuai only has 8,000 troops. After careful analysis, Peng Dehuai boldly drew up a combat plan to attack Changsha and conquered Changsha in one fell swoop. Peng Dehuai's military talent in this battle is highlighted, and it can be said that Peng Dehuai's capture of Changsha has created a classic example of winning more with less.

The troops continued to fight and the soldiers were seriously attritional, especially the lack of logistical supplies, and the Red officers and men were extremely fatigued. Due to the Red 4th Front Army in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Base Area (after the reorganization of the Red Army, the Red Army in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Base Area was named the Red 4th Front Army), the Red 2nd Front Army in the western Hunan and Hubei base areas suffered setbacks one after another, and the strategy of seizing the central city of Wuhan was overshadowed. In the next step, the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee was faced with a new readjustment, but the opinions of the top leaders were not unanimous, which in turn made it difficult for the Red Army units in Hunan and Hubei to change their positions.

On this day, at the garrison of a certain Red Third Army Corps in southern Hunan, the corps commander Peng Dehuai looked at the map with his eyes and frowned. Obviously, he was anxious about the current Red Army encountering walls everywhere in Hunan, when Xiao Feng, the commander of the Red 6th Division, walked in. After the reorganization of the Red Army, Xiao Feng served as the commander of the Red 6th Division, although he was the division commander, but his subordinates only had more than 2,000 people. Seeing Peng Dehuai's solemn face, he said: "Commander, my subordinates have something to say!" Peng Dehuai raised his head: "I'm here to complain again, I don't want to listen!" ”

"Legion Commander, if you don't want to hear me, you have to say it. After we entered Hunan, we continued to fight, and although we conquered Changsha, we could not gain a foothold at all, and I disagreed with the strategy of seizing the central city. Seeing Peng Dehuai thoughtfully, Xiao Feng continued: "I think Ouyang Jian would also oppose this, he relied on the base area to fight and win successes, and annihilated a large number of enemy forces. Not only has the base area been consolidated, but it has also achieved great development, and I think Ouyang Jian's approach is correct. ”

"Truth be told, I'm thinking about it. At present, the enemy forces are fighting more and more, we are becoming more and more passive, and it is simply not feasible to seize the central city. Comrade Xiao Feng, don't be impatient, I will make suggestions to the CPC Central Committee. In fact, Zhu Mao also had objections, but the order of the Central Committee had to be carried out. "The Central Committee and the Venezuela are far away in Shanghai, and they know that they are blindly commanding, and they don't know the situation here at all, and this battle is really a wretch." "Okay, I understand your feelings, but we still have to focus on the overall situation and don't be rash."

That night, an enemy force pursued them, and they had to switch to the battle. A drizzle fell from the sky, and the soldiers dragged their tired steps back on the road again. Xiao Feng rode a war horse and looked ahead, and a trace of worry appeared on his face again. Before Peng Dehuai left the station, he opened his heart to the headquarters by telegram and talked about his ideas, and praised Ouyang Jian's strategic layout in the Jiujiang base area, hoping that the headquarters would telegraph to the Central Committee to change the current unfavorable situation.

At the headquarters of the Red Army in Liuyang, Hunan, Zhu De received a telegram from Ouyang Jian: "Runzhi good news, Ouyang Jian's department has captured Pingxiang and Yichun, and the entire western part of Nanchang has been taken. "Runzhidao:" I am afraid that the Central Committee and Venezuela will turn a blind eye and still pursue the strategy of seizing the central city. At present, the enemy is fighting more and more, and this strategy is no longer feasible. However, we still implement this strategy, and we will only become more and more passive! ”

Zhu De fell silent thoughtfully, "Yujie, I can't wait any longer, I suggest that the troops return to Jiangxi from the new and rely on the base area to develop and grow." Comrade Ouyang Jian has provided us with valuable experience, and Ouyang Jian has created rare conditions for us to return to Jiangxi. "Good! I'll draft a report to the Central Committee! "Report! Red 3 Corps Commander Peng Dehuai telegram! Runzhi took the telegram and said happily: "This is just in time, and our front-line commanders have seen the problem." ”

As soon as Runzhi's words fell, Lin walked in and said, "Commander, political commissar, I have something to say!" "Haha, look at your lawsuit, don't hesitate to say anything." "At the beginning, I had an opinion on the development of Political Commissar Mao's base area, but now I have figured it out that only by basing ourselves on the base area can we be like a fish in water. Ouyang Jian taught me a lesson, 4 battles and 4 victories, it was unbelievable. In particular, he waved his troops to the east, mobilized the enemy in the movement war, and returned to the division to eat the 51st Brigade of the Central Army, which was simply a stroke of genius, and all this could not be done without a solid base. ”

"Your thoughts are the same as those of Commander Peng, and the questions you raised are being discussed with Commander Zhu, and we will report to the Central Committee soon. However, it will take time to change the decisions of the Central Committee. Lin got what he needed, and a rare smile appeared on his face. After Lin left, Zhu De said: "At present, He Jian has gathered heavy troops to encircle, and our situation is even more difficult. Ouyang Jiandian reported that the Central Plains War Lao Jiang has turned from passive to active, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang have shown signs of defeat, and it is estimated that the Central Plains War will end at the end of the year, how sure do you think Ouyang Jian's judgment is? ”

"Ouyang Jian's analysis and judgment have all come true one by one, and I believe him. If we stay in the base area, I am afraid that the results will be even more brilliant, maybe we have already taken Nanchang City, and we have missed the great fighters. Zhu De also sighed and said: "I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to achieve such a big result, outwitting the 15th Brigade, encircling and annihilating the 17th Brigade, capturing Yang Chisheng alive in the enemy's formation, and annihilating the 51st Brigade of the Central Army in a big roundabout, it is like a dazzling novel." "I'm sure that Ouyang Jian's strength and deeds are still to come!"

"Do you know why Ouyang Jian went south to set up a formation?" "Take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy army to seize territory!" "This is just one thing, and the second is to welcome us to move! He thought that we would definitely return to Jiangxi! Zhu De gasped and said, "Ouyang Jian actually has such a strategic vision!" "Fortunately, our party has such outstanding military talents, is it really providential?" In fact, Runzhi didn't know about the letter from July, and if he knew, he wouldn't know how he would feel. "Report! With the voice, Chen Yi walked in! After the formation of the Red First Army, Chen Yi served as the political commissar of the 12th Division.

Zhu De personally brought Chen Yi a cup of tea and said: "The Central Committee has a new appointment, in order to strengthen the leadership of the Party of the Red Fifth Army, you will be recruited to serve as the political commissar of the Red Fifth Army!" Chen Yi heard that his eyes lit up and said: "Great, I have long wanted to meet Ouyang Jian, a legend, when will I leave!" Zhu De said: "You explain your work to the newly appointed political commissar of the 12th Division, and leave in 3 days." "Yes!" Runzhidao: "Comrade Chen Yi, you must have a good relationship with Comrade Ouyang Jian, I heard that many of his methods are strange, so you should listen to his suggestions more." "Don't worry, Commissar Mao, I will do a good job of unity."

It was late at night, and the rain outside was falling non-stop, and Runzhi looked out into the darkness with a strong tobacco smell in his mouth. Although he had never met Ouyang Jianhe, he felt that they were close to each other. In particular, what Ouyang Jian did in the Jiujiang region seemed to be something he imagined, which deepened this idea. At this moment, Runzhi seemed to have the urge to see Ouyang Jian immediately, and he wanted to witness with his own eyes what Ouyang Jian thought. Ouyang Jian's ability to develop rapidly to this day and become a powerful force in the Red Army is by no means by luck, he wants to know the answer.

"Runzhi, it's time to rest if you've been in poor health lately!" He Zizhen took a nap and walked in to ask with concern. "My heart fluctuates and I can't sleep." "Are you thinking about that Ouyang Jian? Now the troops are all spreading, and they all want to meet this legendary Red Army general. Runzhi fell silent, and his heart swelled with longing that he had never felt before, there was no doubt that Ouyang Jian would become a tiger general in the future. The sound of the rain outside is so pleasant, like beautiful music that is intoxicating.

From late August to early September, Peng Dehuai led the Red Third Army Corps to Liuyang, and formally formed the Red First Army in accordance with the Central Committee's order, with Zhu De as commander-in-chief and Runzhi as the general political commissar, and at the same time, the Red Fifth Army Corps in Jiujiang was officially placed under the command of the Red First Army. At the same time, in view of the tremendous changes that had taken place in Jiangxi and the fact that the main Red Army was in a difficult situation in Hunan, the Central Committee ordered the Red Army to turn back to Jiangxi.

In early September, the day before the Red Front Army was about to return to Jiangxi, the headquarters of the Front Army burst into laughter and laughter, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Runzhi said with a hearty expression: "Comrades, Xiao Ke, the commander of the 1st Division of the Red 5th Army, has led his troops to occupy Pingxiang and Yichun, and the situation is very good!" Ouyang Jian has created very good conditions for us, and I believe that the time has come for the Red Army to make great achievements. "Comrade Runzhi, so Pingxiang is already a base area?" Peng Dehuai was surprised. "Not only that, the entire vast area west of Nanchang is controlled by Ouyang Jian, and our entry into Jiangxi is equivalent to going home!"

Zhu De's hearty laughter infected everyone, and everyone inquired about new news. All of a sudden, Ouyang Jian became a news figure, and everyone began to judge it. Lin said to Peng Dehuai: "After we enter Jiangxi, we will take over Pingxiang, Yichun, and Xinyu, because Ouyang Jian's troops will be withdrawn and reorganized. According to the report of the dark arrow, the enemy forces in Ji'an have all withdrawn to Ganzhou. It is estimated that we will go back to repair and recuperate for a while, how about it are not interested in going to Jiujiang to see? ”

"Of course I want to go, this opportunity is too rare and I have to go, I want to see who Ouyang Jian is." "I mainly want to see how Ouyang Jian reorganized the troops. Also his armament enterprise fascinates me, and I wonder how he did it. Also, I want to hear Ouyang Jian's strategic concept with my own ears. Lin and Peng Dehuai reached a consensus and decided to go to Yunshui County together after returning to Jiangxi.
