As he led the army to Gansu and looked at the situation map of the enemy and us, He Zhengdao made some unexpected discoveries. In the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region, the strength of the Central Army was not large, and the strength of the troops of the warlords in the northwest was also uneven.

Compared with the arrival of the Central Red Army here in history, it is already the end of the crossbow. The Central Red Army, which is now advancing into Gannan, is becoming more and more courageous the more they fight. Despite the need to face a food crisis, there are ways to solve it in Gannan.

In response to this situation, He Zhengdao sent a telegram to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. I plan to take Gannan as the center and fight with reinforcements from all walks of life here. And people like Yang Tusi are also what He Zhengdao needs to woo.

As for Mao Taizu, who received He Zhengdao's strategic vision, he also knew more than 80,000 Central Red Army. If all of them enter northern Shaanxi, the food problem alone will overwhelm the headquarters.

Under such circumstances, it is also very important to open up new base areas. And He Zhengdao's bold idea was to use Gannan as the front line to create a red base across the three provinces.

Although this strategic idea is a bit bold, Mao Taizu knows very well that if this strategic vision can be realized. In the future, the depth of the Red Army's strategic defense in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo will be greatly extended, and it will be able to attack and retreat, and it will also be able to better develop its base areas.

After convening a meeting of the leaders of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, it was decided that the independent column could try it. In addition to the Red 1st Legion, which operated with the headquarters, the Red 9th Legion was also sent out. Participated in the Gannan War.

In the face of the Central Red Army advancing on Gannan on three routes, Hu Zongnan, who was responsible for the encirclement and suppression of the northwest. It also seems a little powerless. Chairman Chiang, who learned of this situation, also ordered the allied forces in the northwest to fully cooperate with the encirclement and suppression.

It's a pity. The Northwest Army does not seem to be very skeptical of Chairman Chiang's orders. For them, in the face of the Central Red Army, which was in full swing, they also didn't want to be too offended.

In any case, the Central Red Army, which has now entered Gannan, is respectable in name. Compared with Chairman Chiang, who was busy annexing various warlords and ignoring the fall of the three eastern provinces, there were still many voices of criticism among the people.

With the approval of the headquarters, He Zhengdao immediately ordered the Duer Division to come to meet the headquarters. Launched an attack on Zhouqu and Tangchang. The new brigades are being reorganized in the Diebu Division, and two reinforced regiments are being formed to prepare to take over the defense of the two cities.

In addition, the 3rd Division and the newly formed 4th Division attacked the two cities of Luqu and Lintan. And he personally led the only division, and planned to meet with Yang Tusi, and wait for an opportunity to attack Minxian County, which was heavily guarded by the Gansu local army.

The three-way attack of the independent column made Hu Zongnan, who was concerned about the movements of the independent column, also said with a solemn expression: "What is his idea for this independent column?" Could it be that they want to occupy Gannan? ”

Compared to the movements of the independent column. At this moment, the Red Third Army, the Red 30th Army, the Red Ninth Army, and tens of thousands of horses also launched a sweep of the cities in Gannan. In addition to replenishing supplies on the spot. And I didn't forget to recruit new soldiers.

This kind of behavior made Hu Zongnan also seem worried. He sent an urgent telegram to Chairman Chiang, hoping to let the 'Ma Jiajun', which had troops in Ganning, Ningqing, and Qingdao, move south quickly. Participated in the encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Army.

In the face of the situation of fronts everywhere in Gannan, the troops from all walks of life who were originally stationed in Gannan were encircled and suppressed. It also seems to be panicked. For the Red Army, which moved thousands of miles from Gannan to Gannan, it was even the enemy. They also have to say a word of obedience.

Mao Taizu, who also paid attention to the progress of the troops from all walks of life, saw that the troops had won a lot, and said with great satisfaction: "It seems that we are really on the right path when we march into the northwest this time." However, we still need to join the Red Army in northern Shaanxi as soon as possible.

Although Gannan is a good place, there are too many ethnic minorities here. If you are not careful, you may trigger ethnic antagonism and conflict. In contrast, although the place in northern Shaanxi is poor, it is more conducive to our creation of a new Soviet area. ”

Out of this consideration, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, which was watching the battle in the rear, successfully arrived in Gannan under the protection of the Red First Army. And at this moment, He Zhengdao has led the only division to arrive in the territory of Zhuoni.

Looking at Yang Jiqing, who was dressed in toast clothes, He Zhengdao, who was riding on the horse, still dismounted in advance with great etiquette. With Tibetan etiquette, greet this hereditary 19th generation Tusi.

Looking at He Zhengdao's salute, Yang Jiqing was also very surprised: "I really didn't expect that Commander He is so familiar with my Tibetan etiquette. If I didn't know that you were a Han general, I would have wondered if you were an authentic Tibetan family! ”

'Yang Tusi is polite! He fought in the south and the north, and in the Aba area alone, he had dealt with many leaders and toasts. In order to show respect for you, it is necessary for us to know the necessary etiquette and the forbidden things. ’

After a brief rebuke at the city gate, He Zhengdao only led a reconnaissance company and entered Yang Jiqing's Tusi Mansion. The main forces of the rest of the first division were all camped outside the city to rest. This made Yang Jiqing also feel that the Red Army had given enough sincerity to cooperate.

During this time, as the situation in Gannan became worse and worse, the Gansu warlord Lu Dachang, who was the most difficult to deal with Yang Jiqing, had been planning to coerce Yang Jiqing by force to attack the independent column that had entered Diebu and Zhuoni.

It's a pity that such a move not only did not make Yang Jiqing succumb, but aroused Yang Jiqing's anger. The reason is simple, these two places are the places that his Yang family has managed for generations. It's up to him to decide what to do!

Entering the Tusi Mansion, Yang Jiqing also ordered someone to send delicacies with unique Tibetan characteristics. Looking at He Zhengdao, he seemed to know and used to eating these foods, and Yang Jiqing was also very happy.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Jiqing said tentatively: "General He, I am very grateful that your army has not caused harm to my people in the area under my jurisdiction. It's just that I wonder if your army plans to stay in Gannan for a long time? ”

Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao quickly smiled and said: "Yang Tusi, I believe you should have heard that our Red Army came to the north to resist Japan. Next, we will continue to walk north, and we will not stay here for long.

Just considering that in the future, the Central Army and the warlords in the northwest will persecute those who are friendly to us, and we will establish a guerrilla zone in Gannan to publicize our policies and provide help to our friends as much as we can.

When we came, the commander-in-chief of the Red Army and Vice Chairman Zhou were very grateful to the friends of all nationalities who had given us the best help they could to help us when we switched to the war. As for where the guerrilla zone will be located, the extent of which has not yet been determined. ”

Hearing that the Red Army would not stay on his turf, and that it was possible to provide him with security protection, Yang Tusi smiled and raised his glass: "It seems that your army is really a benevolent and righteous army, and I will salute the general on behalf of the people of Tusi Mansion." ”

He Zhengdao, who didn't shirk either, continued after drinking: "Yang Tusi, I believe you know my intention. The current situation does not allow me to indulge too much. This is also the first time I have attended such a banquet.

Last time I wrote my letter, I believe Yang Tusi also read it. During this time, we also borrowed a lot of food from you in the Diebe area, which solved the urgent needs of our main force. For this reason, I also prepared a batch of gifts to Toast to express my gratitude. ”

did not give anything in kind, but asked the guards around him to hand Yang Tusi a list. Looking at the list of weapons above, Yang Tusi also felt his eyelids jump. These weapons were enough for him to form a reinforced regiment.

Thinking of the price of these weapons, Yang Tusi immediately said, "General He, this gift is too valuable. Those grains are also a little bit of my heart for your army. How dare you accept such a big gift from the general again!

Don't hide it from the general, as the situation becomes more and more chaotic, my Tusi Mansion is also worried about internal and external troubles. Lu Dachang, who is far away in Minxian County, has also been greedy for my family wealth and territory, and has repeatedly encouraged me to be the enemy of your army.

It's just that when I think of the sword and the disaster, it is the people under my rule who suffer, and I really don't want the flames of war to burn to the place I manage. Don't look at the armed team under my command, there are a lot of them, but in fact, they are all shelf goods, and they are not useful at all.

These weapons, if General He doesn't mind, I can pay for them with money or food. I hope to use these weapons to form a Tusi armed regiment to protect the territory and the people. These days, I don't have a gun in my hand, I panic! ”

Hearing what Yang Tusi said, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Yang Tusi, it stands to reason that we are embarrassed to accept your kindness. It's just that when our army first arrived, there was indeed a shortage of materials, and this bag was even more shy.

So be it! The price of the weapon is calculated according to the price I negotiated with Ruoergai. In terms of ammunition, I will compensate Toast when the time comes. Weapons are still to be used by people after all, which also consumes a lot of bullets.

If Yang Tusi doesn't mind, I can send a platoon to train the armed regiment for you. To be honest, if you don't receive formal training, even if these weapons are in the hands of your armed team, I am afraid that they will not be effective.

As for Lu Dachang, please also rest assured that Yang Tusi. This time, the main force of the first division under my command was going to Minxian County, which he was guarding. If nothing else, he shouldn't have a chance to trouble you in the future.

It's just that I must say that I'm sorry that my main force won't stay in Gannan for long. In order to go north to resist Japan, we still need to advance in the direction of northern Shaanxi. At that time, you need to be careful of the retaliation of the local army in Gansu. ”

Hearing that He Zhengdao could also send him a training platoon, Yang Tusi also felt that the other party wanted to master his troops. But after listening to the latter words, he felt that he seemed to have a little villain's heart.

He is still good at managing places, but he really doesn't know much about this kind of leading troops to fight. Although there are henchmen who manage the Tusi armed forces for him, it is estimated that it is inferior to the regular army.

For this reason, in the face of He Zhengdao's kindness, Yang Tusi still accepted it all. But for He Zhengdao, this gave him a chance to stick a nail in his head. Even he planned to form a guerrilla zone around the Gannan border.

After all, if nothing else, it would not be long before the Red Fourth Front would also move north. When the time comes, it is also very necessary to leave a force on the Gannan border to respond! (To be continued.) )
