In the late autumn season, the Jiujiang base area ushered in the harvest season. Due to the large-scale promotion of glass greenhouse seedlings, upland rice and rice have obtained the best harvest in history, and preliminary statistics show that grain crops have generally increased by 3 percent. As the saying goes: If you have food at home, don't panic. The military and civilians in the base areas were more supportive of the red regime. In accordance with the decrees promulgated by the Red Army, the Red Army strictly cracked down on bullying and dominating the market, advocated fair trading and encouraged business, and the circulation field also began to become active, and a thriving scene appeared in the Jiujiang base area.

Under the subtle influence of Ouyang Jian, Mao Zetan, the newly appointed secretary of the special committee, consciously or unconsciously devoted his energy to the industrial and agricultural production in the base areas. In the two years he spent with Ouyang Jian, he understood a lot of things, and it can be said that Ouyang Jian's insight liberated him from his closed thinking, and then produced changes in thinking and behavior. On this day, Chen Yi got out of the army, Ouyang Jian was reading the materials at the corps headquarters, and an operational staff officer came in to report: "Report, the anti-rebellion team appointed by Jiangxi Province has arrived." ”

When Ouyang Jian heard this, he realized that trouble was coming, and he was really afraid of something, so he walked a few steps on the ground and suddenly had an idea. "Go and call the comrades of the anti-rebellion group!" Soon after, the operational staff officer brought in a group of 10 members of the anti-rebellion team. The leader of the team, Liao, is about thirty years old, and he looks like a white-faced scholar with glasses. After all, Ouyang Jian was a legend of the Red Army, and the personnel of the anti-rebellion group were very excited. Soon the conversation got to business. The leader of the group took out a letter of introduction from the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and said that he had come this time to follow the instructions of the provincial party committee and to carry out a purity campaign in the Red Army units and local governments to eliminate dissidents.

It is undeniable that their good intentions, revolutionary enthusiasm and starting point are all good, but Ouyang Jian knows what the stakes will be. As soon as they met, Ouyang Jian said politely: "Comrades, we resolutely respond to the call of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and vigorously cooperate with your work. But now the focus of the work is to prepare for a large-scale encirclement by the enemy. At present, there are many arsenals in the county that need to be transferred, so our current work is mainly anti-encirclement and suppression work. Therefore, you should put aside the anti-rebellion work for a while. "Commander Ouyang, this is the work assigned by the Central Committee, and you must obey it unconditionally."

"Team Leader Liao, I understand your feelings, but as the supreme leader of the base area, my central task is to defend the fruits of victory in the base area. At present, one of my engineering units is digging a cave in Tongluo Village, and I am currently lacking excellent cadres like you. Now I appoint you as the political commissar of the Tongluozhai Engineering Force, and I will immediately set off for Tongluozhai. "Commander Ouyang, but ・・・・・" "No, I'll explain to the above." "Commander Ouyang, I want to meet the political commissar!" "The commissar has disembarked from the troops, I have the right to arrange your work, this is the order to set off immediately!" "Yes!" The team leader had no choice but to lead his subordinates to Tongluo Village. 、

Ouyang Jian called several staff officers who knew about it and said, "The news of the arrival of the anti-rebellion group is not allowed to reveal a word to anyone, including the political commissar, understand?" "Understood!" Several staff officers replied aloud. After the staff officer left, Ouyang Jian instructed Xiao Ma to find Mu Shixiong. Ouyang Jian knew in his heart that the war preparedness project in Tongluo Village was to prepare for the future resistance against Japan, and the project would be carried out for several years. After Mu Shixiong came in, Ouyang Jian finally explained: "The people of the anti-rebellion group are not allowed to leave Tongluo Village, and all their correspondence is only allowed to enter but not leave, understand?" "Understood"

That evening, Chen Yi came back and said happily: "All departments have basically completed the reorganization, and it can be said that the troops are strong and strong, and I am full of confidence in the anti-encirclement and suppression operation." "Political and ideological work is the strong point of the political commissar, and it can be seen that the work is going smoothly." "Through the education of remembering and pondering hard work, the ideological consciousness of the officers and men has been greatly enhanced, and the cohesion of the troops is gratifying, and the enthusiasm for fighting is unprecedentedly high." Chen Yi took a sip of tea and seemed to remember something: "The Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee sent a letter, saying that a counter-terrorism team was sent and hoped that we would cooperate vigorously. According to the date, the anti-rebel group should arrive today, they are not coming. ”

"I've been at the Legion Headquarters all day today, and if the anti-rebellion team arrives, I should know that they are probably delayed on the way." Ouyang Jian decided to completely conceal the arrival of the anti-rebellion group. Chen Yi was still excited without noticing it: "The militia and guerrillas in all counties have been organized, and a large number of mines have been distributed, and special personnel have been sent to guide them on how to carry out mine warfare. The fruits of the victory in defending the base areas, the enthusiasm of the common people is not said, and the situation is gratifying and pressing! Ha ha! I'm in a good mood today, I haven't played against each other for a long time, so let's kill a game. ”

At present, Chen Yi has fully adapted to Ouyang Jian's tactics, after all, Chen Yi's Go skills are profound, and the level of the two is between the two of them, and winning or losing lies in playing on the spot. In this game of chess, Ouyang Jian lost by 3 meshes. "Brother Ouyang, now that I am playing chess with you, I must be 100% committed, if I am not careful, I will fall into your trap, once I am passive, I will have no chance of turning the tables. Your twist is not sharp, but the layout and ending are strong points. "Brother Chen, Go is like a battlefield, you and I learn from each other's strengths, it is a sharp knife that stabs the enemy, and we must be the sharp knife of the Red Army."

"Well said, we are going to be the sharp knives of the Red Army." "Brother Chen, there is one thing I didn't tell you, I sent someone to bring your wife, and she will probably arrive tomorrow." "Now that work is so intense, is there something wrong with the relationship between children and daughters?" "It is difficult for us to be ascetics in the revolution, and we must not forget that we have the obligation to reproduce the offspring of the revolution." Chen Yi said gratefully: "It's rare for you to work hard, thank you!" Chen Yi seemed to remember something and asked, "Brother Ouyang, I heard that your lover was detained in Nanjing, why didn't you want to rescue him?" ”

Ouyang Jian said with a tingling pain in his heart: "Lu Wenting is detained in Nanjing No. 1 Prison, which is heavily guarded, and Dark Arrow has been trying to find a way to rescue him, but the possibility of rescue is very small. Because of me, the enemy is more closely guarded, and there is news from inside that the enemy is treating her with both soft and hard, and Wen Ting is very brave. Ouyang Jian's expression was heavy after speaking. Chen Yi stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand your feelings, for the sake of faith, we must endure this painful torture. ”

The next day, in the army headquarters, the person in charge of picking up Chen Yi's wife came back as scheduled, but Chen Yi's wife was nowhere to be seen. The captain of the special combat team said bitterly: "Political commissar, after you left Xinfeng, Mrs. has not heard from you. Later, it was falsely rumored that you had died, and Mrs. committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in grief, and we ・・・・・・. Chen Yi sat on the chair in pain when he heard this, and everyone was in a sad mood and didn't know what to say. Soon, Chen Yi stood up, took out his pen and ink, and waved it. I saw four sentences and seven laws jumping on the paper: What is the misty spring mountain? Check out the last few poems. Fangying is everywhere, and the ice posture is vaguely seen at the corner of the door.

When Ouyang Jian saw the poem "Remembrance", he closed his eyes in pain and wondered, is this the will of heaven? Suddenly, he thought of Dabao, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. The three children have arrived at the base safely, but there is no news from Dabao so far, and it is difficult to ・・・・・・. Ouyang Jian didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, he didn't know how to comfort Chen Yi, an amazing woman, who was awe-inspiring and regretful.

The days flew by, and the time entered November, and preparations for the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Jiujiang base area were in full swing. On this day, Ouyang Jian and Chen Yi returned from inspecting the troops in Fengyun Town, because Xiao Ke's 9th Division was stationed in Fengyun Town. As soon as the figures of the two appeared at the legion headquarters, the deputy legion commanders Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan stepped forward. "Legion Commander. Political commissar, just received information from the dark arrow, the war in the Central Plains is over, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan surrendered to Lao Jiang. At present, Chiang Kai-shek has returned to Nanjing from the front, and the main forces of the Central Army are moving northward on a large scale. ”

"Commander, as you judged, Chiang Kai-shek consolidated his position in the first battle, and then he will command the Central Army to encircle and suppress the base area. Legion Commander, your judgment is very accurate, and there are basically no discrepancies. It seems that our combat readiness in the past few months is just right. Dark Arrow has notified all localities to closely monitor the movement of the Central Army and give feedback at any time. Chen Yi said: "The time has come to test us, and immediately notify all departments to prepare for battle." In addition, the local organizations were informed that they must do a good job in clearing the wilderness and not let the people in the base areas suffer losses. ”

"Is there a call from headquarters?" Ouyang Jian asked. "Nope!" "I estimate that the headquarters of the front army is formulating a strategy, and it is possible that we will be asked to hold back the enemy army, and we can hold as much as we can, so as to ensure that the main force of the Red Army fights." As soon as Ouyang Jian's words fell, an operational staff officer came in to report: "Report, call from the headquarters!" Saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Ouyang Jian took the telegram and glanced at it and handed it to Chen Yi and said: "Political commissar, there is no major discrepancy in the central task of the call from the headquarters, that is, let us cooperate with the main Red Army to fight, there is no specific combat mission, and we have full autonomy." ”

Chen Yi glanced at the telegram: "It seems that Zhu Mao is very confident in you, you are the military commander, and it is up to you to decide how to beat you." Ouyang Jian said: "Immediately notify the officers above the division level to go to Yunshui County to hold a military meeting as soon as possible." Ouyang Jian continued: "We don't blindly formulate anti-encirclement and suppression plans, but plan according to the enemy's situation. At present, our strength has been undoubtedly exposed, and the enemy army is not an idiot, and will certainly take corresponding countermeasures, and it will be more difficult to capture the fighters and how to mobilize the enemy's troops, and we must be mentally prepared. ”

At this time, the central base area was also shrouded in the pre-war atmosphere, and after several months of expansion, with Ruijin as the center, including the northwest region of Fujian, the Jinggangshan area, the area west of Nanchang, and even the area west of Jiujiang, such a vast base area created unprecedented favorable conditions for Zhu Mao to smash the enemy's encirclement and suppression, and at the same time gave Zhu Mao increased his confidence in victory. After several months of army expansion, the total strength of the First and Third Red Army Corps has now reached more than 50,000 people, and the most gratifying thing is that the main Red Army has been given a few months of rest and recuperation.

In a few months, the headquarters of the Red Army demanded that all field units conduct rigorous military training in accordance with the military training program of the 5th Army Corps. It is self-evident that the main Red Army units embarked on the road of regularization and army building ahead of schedule. In addition, with the vigorous support of Ouyang Jian, the main force of the Red Army established a grenade arsenal and an explosives factory in Ruijin, and the clothing factory, especially the logistics department, began to take shape, providing a certain guarantee for the Red Army troops to fight.

In the past month, the Jiujiang base area has supported a large amount of grain, which has made Runzhi and Zhu De more confident. The military meeting at the headquarters of the Front has been completed, and the commanders-in-chief have returned to their respective units to stand by. At this time, Run's long hair was neatly combed, and he looked very energetic in a well-fitting new military uniform. Runzhi is accustomed to pinching his waist with his left hand, and thinking about problems with a cigarette in his right hand. The overall strategic principle of the military conference has been formulated, that is, to bring the enemy in to fight, not caring about the gains or losses of one city or one place, and the aim is to destroy a large number of the enemy's vital forces in guerrilla and mobile operations.

Maybe it was the cigarette that burned to the roots, and Runzhi felt burned and hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt, but out of habit, he took out another cigarette and lit it, and took a beautiful puff. At this time, Zhu De walked in from outside and said with great interest: "Runzhi, good news!" ”
