PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
In the eyes of many Red Armymen, the Sichuan Army is also known as the double-spear soldier, which means that the Sichuan Army likes to carry two guns in battle, one of which is naturally a smoking gun. And this smoking gun is not all used to smoke big * cigarettes.
In fact, cigarettes were high-end in those days, and ordinary soldiers could not afford to smoke them at all. Many Sichuan soldiers who like to smoke also smoke tobacco leaves with smoking guns. Over time, some people jokingly called the Sichuan army a group of double-spearmen.
And the Red Army reconnaissance regiment that has now arrived in Lixian is also a group of double-spearmen. In addition to the machine gunners, nearly half of the officers and men of the regiment were armed with captured submachine guns and carried a rifle on their backs.
Each officer also had a twenty-round box cannon stuck in his waist. Such equipment, in the eyes of many Red Army, was like a group of nouveau riche. But they all know that this is the sharp knife of the independent column.
Knowing that the reconnaissance group had returned ahead of schedule, Mao Taizu felt that He Zhengdao was a little overblown. But when he saw the more than 1,000 scouts standing in place in front of him, silent, but standing straight, he knew that this was the real elite.
According to He Zhengdao's report, most of the members of the reconnaissance regiment of the independent column are now commanded by the backbone of the Red Army. The new soldiers are also the ones who can stand the test.
With such a regiment to protect it, it is estimated that if not a single division attacks, it is estimated that it is unlikely to succeed. Seeing the military appearance of the independent column reconnaissance regiment, Mao Taizu somewhat understood He Zhengdao and why he sent this regiment back in advance.
It's a bit too showy, though. But if you think about it from another angle, doesn't it show the strength of the independent column? Compared with today, there are more than 80,000 personnel in the Red Fourth Front Army. But equipment is still very scarce, and it is difficult for everyone to shoot a gun.
As for the Red Army. Because the independent column was captured all the way, plus the accumulation of their own battles. One shot per person can still be guaranteed. And this time, He Zhengdao must have brought back more materials than the previous times.
With the return of the independent column reconnaissance regiment, all central organs were closely protected by the reconnaissance regiment. There is a reconnaissance regiment inside, and there is a Red Army Corps outside, and such protective measures can already explain some problems.
After arranging things. Li Xiangdong came to Mao Taizu's temporary residence and said in front of Vice Chairman Zhou and President Zhu: "Commissar Mao, Commander-in-Chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, this is the letter that the commander asked me to forward to the Central Committee. ”
Although it was written to Mao Taizu, when He Zhengdao confessed, he still asked Li Xiangdong to hand over in front of these two people. In this way, it also shows that he is above board, so that people will not misunderstand him and Mao Taizu.
I heard that He Zhengdao had to hand over the letter in person. Mao Taizu also seemed a little surprised, but quickly opened the letter and browsed it. It's just that after reading it, Mao Taizu's expression looked very solemn, and even a little angry.
Just when Mr. Zhu was curious about Vice Chairman Zhou. Mao Taizu said in a cold tone: "Boss, Enlai, take a look at Xiao He's letter!" If this letter is true. Then this matter is really serious! ”
After reading the letter, Zhou Enlai was surprised and said, "Comrade Xiangdong." Is this letter true? ”
'Report Week Vice President! The commander did not tell me about the contents of the letter. But. He said it. If the Central Committee wants to confirm the contents of the letter, it can check with Commander-in-Chief Xu of the Red Fourth Front Army. In addition, the reconnaissance regiment is always at the disposal of orders. ’
Such an answer made Mao Taizu say with a solemn expression: "It's really unbelievable that he dared to do this in order to fight for power and profit." Comrade Zhongsheng is a special commissioner of the Central Committee, how dare he do this! It's so presumptuous! ”
In fact, He Zhengdao's letter to Mao Taizu was more about Zeng Zhongsheng, the former secretary of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Special Committee of the Red Fourth Front Army. Even according to the information learned from history, he also pointed out the place where Zeng Zhongsheng may be being held at the moment.
In addition, there are also some information about the suppression of the Red Fourth Front Army from later generations. One of them may be the thing that finally crushed Zhang Guotao. That is the Red Fourth Front Army, the current military commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian.
According to the information that He Zhengdao saw in later generations, in the process of that rebellion, Xu Xiangqian's wife was also arrested in the name of suppressing the rebellion. Even, now Xu Xiangqian doesn't know very well, whether this wife is dead or alive.
Looking at Mao Taizu, who was rarely angry, Zhou Enlai's heart was also extremely uncalm. He had the experience of purging rebellion in the Soviet area, and he knew very well that there was no way to guarantee that such a purge would kill a single person.
The problem, however, is that the current purge of the Red Fourth Front Army obviously has bad political tendencies. In order to control the military and political power of the troops, this kind of ******** was finally made out of nothing. If you don't get angry, it's a lie!
Even Mr. Zhu said with a serious expression: "If this matter is not properly handled, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!" Enlai, can you make an appointment to meet Comrade Xiang Qian alone without alarming that person? ”
For this inquiry, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this!" What are your opinions on Comrade Zhongsheng? ”
Mao Taizu, who heard this, also pondered for a moment and said: "Comrade Xiangdong, can you secretly rescue a person from a place in the shortest possible time?" ”
In the face of such an inquiry, Li Xiangdong quickly said: "Report to Commissar Mao, when I came back, the commander had an explanation. We, the Reconnaissance Corps, are ready to take your orders as long as the leaders need them.
As for the rescue mission, the old backbone of our reconnaissance regiment has also followed the commander many times before. There's just one sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Please also criticize and correct the leaders! ”
'You say! ’
Although Li Xiangdong is not very clear, what was written in He Zhengdao's letter to Mao Taizu. But he somewhat knew that this matter had something to do with the Red Fourth Front Army. And the word 'rebellion' made his heart tremble.
'Report to the chief, though I don't know who the chief wants us to save. But I must make it clear that in order to ensure the successful completion of the rescue mission. In the process of rescuing, we were afraid that we would not be able to do it without injuring a single person.
The three chiefs have also seen that our reconnaissance battalion is equipped with individual bows and crossbows that the commander has people build. The biggest role of this crossbow is to shoot enemies at close range. Only in this way can we guarantee that we will not alarm the enemy we are going to deal with.
If you use a gun, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your goal at all. If we want to save no one and rescue the people who need to be rescued, we can't do it ourselves. Therefore, I hope that the three leaders will allow us to do something undisciplined in our actions. ’
Li Xiangdong, who had a somewhat apprehensive expression, said these words. Mao Taizu and others also felt that Li Xiangdong's concerns were very reasonable. It's just that once it hurts someone, what will that one think after learning the news?
After half a ring, Mr. Zhu suddenly said: "I know that your reconnaissance regiment is an independent column, and it is equipped with the unit with the most radio stations. If you were asked to go to a place and ask about a person's whereabouts, would you be able to do it?
Of course, the premise is that you are not allowed to hurt anyone. All you have to do is find this person and connect with him. What about the rest, we will give you specific tasks on the radio when the time comes. ”
'You can give this a try!' In our reconnaissance group, there are still many soldiers who are good at infiltration and camouflage. As long as there is a specific location and the information of that person, we will find out the news of this person in the shortest possible time. ’
After listening to Mr. Zhu's inquiry, there was also Li Xiangdong's answer. Mao Taizu and Zhou Enlai both understood the reason why Mr. Zhu did this. For the headquarters, it is only necessary to know whether Zeng Zhongsheng is still alive at present.
If you can connect with the other party, let Zeng Zhongsheng convey some news to the central government. I believe that when the time comes, with these news, the central government can catch Zhang Guotao off guard. Once the other party takes the risk, no one will dare to say anything about the rescue of the reconnaissance group!
'Good! Then, the central government has given you an important task. Remember, this task must be kept strictly confidential. As for the content of the relevant tasks, let Vice Chairman Zhou talk to you later, and he will also be responsible for contacting you. ’
'Yes, mission guaranteed!' ’
When the reconnaissance group secretly dispatched a small and capable unit and began to secretly go to Zhuokeji, the capital of Aba, to carry out an investigation. Zhang Guotao of the Red Fourth Front Army also looked a little dignified about the arrival of the independent column.
As for this elite unit of the Central Red Army that has made outstanding achievements in the war, if Zhang Guotao says that he is not afraid at all, it is a pure lie. The most important thing is that he knows that this army cannot follow him.
According to what he knew, He Zhengdao, the commander of the independent column, was Mao Taizu's personal guard company commander before. Political Commissar Xiao Jinguang, that is even more famous Maoist. This means that this force is a staunch supporter of Mao Taizu.
Most importantly, the independent column currently has more than 30,000 elites in three divisions and one brigade. In addition, according to the information received one after another, the independent column once again recruited tens of thousands of recruits in several battles to attack the western Sichuan Plain.
In this way, the strength of the soldiers and horses of a single independent column would be equal to that of the Central Red Army that joined them. After the convergence of these two forces, the strength of the Central Red Army was undoubtedly a little higher than that of the Red Fourth Front Army.
In this case, he wanted to fight against the Central Chamber again, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to achieve his goal. Therefore, he had thought about using force before, and he quickly canceled this plan.
It's just that in the face of the fact that there is now a meeting in the north and south, and there is no reunification for a long time, Zhang Guotao still feels that he must stick to his own ideas. Even if the Central Red Army refused to agree, then he would lead the Red Fourth Front Army to the south alone.
An independent column can still attack the western Sichuan Plain. He believed that with the current strength of the Red Fourth Front Army, it would definitely be able to defeat the Sichuan Army that had occupied the area for many years, and eventually turn Sichuan into a new Soviet area of the Red Fourth Front Army.
With this decision, Zhang Guotao quickly ordered that all units of the Red Fourth Front Army should not transfer a single soldier without receiving his order. A few people who were not at ease, he even sent special personnel to keep an eye on them.
Once it appeared to him, it was possible that something that would make his plan come to naught. At that time, he could only take the risk and lead the Red Fourth Front Army to the south to realize the strategic plan of **** Sichuan!
