In the headquarters of the Yunshui County Column, Li Guangda, Mao Zetan, Zhang Hanfu, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqiang were seated. Ouyang Jian said: "The advance and suppression of the Jiangxi army ended in failure, and we won the victory of the counter-attack. At present, the clique headed by Chiang Kai-shek is in a state of anxiety, and the Northwest Army and the Jin Army headed by Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan are sharpening their knives, and the contradictions between the two are getting deeper and deeper, and the signs of military conflict between them are very obvious. And Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were unwilling, and the two returned to Guangxi to set off a new round of anti-general waves, and He Jian is currently leading his troops to attack Guangxi. The situation is becoming more and more favorable for us, so I have decided to use this opportunity to expand our armaments. ”

Ouyang Jian continued: "According to the needs of the military struggle, Comrade Li Guangda no longer serves as the deputy commander of the column, and Comrade Li Guangda still serves as the principal of the military school. The post of deputy commander of the column was held by Su Yu, and Comrade Luo Ronghuan was appointed chief of staff. The candidates for the first team and the second team were recommended by Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan. At present, there are 2,000 recruits in Tongluozhai and Meiling, and we have the conditions for large-scale expansion. The next five detachments will form a scale of 5,000 people, and each detachment will reach 1,000 people. ”

"We are going to set up a logistics regiment, and the logistics regiment includes a boat bridge battalion. An engineer battalion was set up, and the engineer battalion was to undertake the task of laying mines on a large scale. The artillery brigade was expanded, and the strength of the artillery brigade reached 300 people. I plan to increase the number of people in the special operations team from 30 people. As for the detachments of the reconnaissance unit to form themselves, at present, the county seat of Xingzi has been controlled by Su Yu, and I have ordered Su Yu to form a guerrilla force in Poyang Lake. The shrinkage of the Jiangxi army into a line has created conditions for us to move on a large scale, and Xiushui County in the southwest, Wuning County in the west, and Ruichang County in the north have been controlled by us. ”

Ouyang Jian looked around at everyone and said: "According to the spirit of the Gutian Conference, political work must go first, and the political commissar is fully responsible for this aspect. The local government is responsible for the logistics support work, and Secretary Tan is stepping up mobilization. I call for the completion of the armament expansion mission in early May. In the future, the Red Army School will be located in Yunshui County, and Tongluozhai and Meiling will be used as backup bases. After the relocation of the arsenal, the firearms institute, and the clothing factory, they continued to expand their scale, and Comrade Zhang Hanfu, director of the Political Department, was responsible for ・・・・・・ this area. ”

On this day, in the column headquarters, Tao Yong silently packed his bags, and his eyes seemed to be a little tear-stained. "Don't be sad, don't live up to the expectations of the column leader!" The pony seems to be reluctant to give up. "After I leave, you have to take care of the life of the column leader, don't let him be too tired." "Don't worry, it's not been a day or two since I worked as a guard for the column commander. I know that my two brushes are not the material for being an official, and I really envy you! "To be able to stay with the column commander is to be enviable."

"Brother Tao, I will be the company commander as soon as I get out of the army, I am jealous!" "Why don't we change?" "I'm not going to change!" "You're cheap, and you're still selling well!" The two fell silent. "I'll miss you, remember to have a few more eyes when fighting, I hope you're safe." "Don't worry, pony, the enemy hasn't made that bullet yet!" "I believe that you must be blessed and rich." The two teased, and Tao Yong's mood improved a lot. He packed up and looked around, and when he looked at the pony again, he saw that the pony's eyes were full of tears. "Say goodbye to tears, we all have to be strong."

Pony held back tears and nodded solemnly. Tao Yong picked up his backpack and stepped on the shell gun that Ouyang Jian gave him and walked out of the house. Seeing that the door next door was closed, Tao Yong walked in front of him and reported loudly: "Report!" "After a while, Ouyang Jian and Mao Zetan walked out." Report to the column commander, commissar! I'm leaving, what else do you command? "I've said everything I need to say, go and do a good job, I believe you can do it!" "Please rest assured, Captain Column, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" "Tao Yong, I don't want to say anything before parting, don't forget to be motivated." "I remembered the commissar!"

Tao Yong raised his hand and saluted and turned to leave, having been together for so long day and night, Ouyang Jian's face also showed a trace of affection. "I can see that you are a little reluctant, Tao Yong is a good material, and he will definitely be able to produce after training." "That's why I sent him to the front-line troops, and he had to go through the test of war to thrive." "Tao Yong won't let you down, this kid has a flexible head." As soon as Mao Zetan's words fell, Guo Mei walked in wearing a beautiful military uniform. "The commissar is also there!" Guo Mei greeted generously.

At present, Guo Mei is a cultural teacher at the Red Army School, and Mao Zetan left with a smile. "Is there something wrong with me?" "I can't come to see you, don't you welcome me?" Guo Mei glared at him with disgust. "I don't mean anything else." "I'm resting today, and I'm here to check on you!" "Check what?" "You usually strictly require everyone to pay attention to hygiene, pay attention to the appearance of the army, I am here to check the hygiene. Colt! "Here! Please ask Teacher Guo to command? "The little horse has a good deal to do." Take me around to see how hygienic the column leader is. ”

The pony was a little embarrassed, and Ouyang Jian couldn't help it. After a while, Guo Mei turned Ouyang Jian's dirty clothes out. "Comrade Guo Mei, I've been very busy lately, so my health condition is a little worse." "Words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, and strict requirements for others must first be strict with yourself." After Guo Mei finished speaking, she started to do laundry. "Instructor Guo, is this my dereliction of duty or am I coming!" Pony blocking. "Okay, look at the clothes you washed, they haven't been washed by the column leader himself." The pony blushed with embarrassment.

Ouyang Jian sighed in his heart when he saw Guo Meimali's busy figure, in just a few months, she had undergone a qualitative change, and Miss Jiao's style was invisible, replaced by a different kind of youthful atmosphere and "empathy". Ouyang Jian couldn't help but think of Lu Wenting again, and his heart began to ache faintly again. Whenever there is a dead of night, Ouyang Jian can't help but think of Wen Ting, and sometimes asks himself, is this love? It's so hard to love someone. He knew that Guo Mei still admired him, and Ouyang Jian couldn't bear to hurt her if he didn't stop her.

Soon the old calendar year came, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers rang out outside, and Ouyang Jian, Mao Zetan, and Zhang Hanfu gathered together to keep vigil. There was some food in front of me, but there were no dumplings. Southerners don't make dumplings during the New Year, and Ouyang Jian also has to follow the customs. After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Hanfu opened the conversation box and asked, "Captain Column, we have been in contact for a long time, and I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you." "Just say what the problem is." "I find that your speech seems to be prejudiced against Soviet Russia?"

Ouyang Jian's expression became serious, and he felt the need to talk about his thoughts: "As soon as the October Revolution sounded, Soviet Russia overthrew the rule of Tsarist Russia and created the first socialist state. Marxism-Leninism then spread to China, inspiring a large number of revolutionaries to devote themselves to this great revolution for the sake of China's destiny. It is true that Soviet Russia is an example for us to learn from and a source of strength. However, the Soviet Russian model cannot be fully transplanted to China. The two countries have different national conditions. Soviet Russia was a capitalist country, while China was a semi-colonial, semi-feudal country. ”

Zhang Hanfu and Mao Zetan were shocked when they heard this kind of comment for the first time. Ouyang Jian continued to talk eloquently: "There are a large number of industrial workers in Soviet Russia, and industrial workers are very conscious as proletarians, so Soviet Russia can seize the central city in a very short period of time and establish a strong red regime. China is a large agricultural country, with 90 percent of the population as farmers, and it is still in a state of ignorance. It is impossible to get them to accept revolutionary theories for a short time. Farmers can only be motivated by seeing the benefits. Therefore, the only correct path for the Chinese revolution is to work the land. ”

"I really appreciate the idea of Junzhi, who is the only sober pioneer. At present, many people blindly worship Soviet Russia, are hot-headed, and try to directly transfer the successful experience of Soviet Russia to China in disregard of China's actual situation. I believe that the Chinese revolution must proceed from reality and follow China's own revolutionary road, and we already have the conditions for this. That is, to make full use of the vast rural areas, adopt the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside, and then seize one or even several provinces to establish a solid red regime. ”

"Therefore, we must not be in a hurry, let alone be hot-headed regardless of reality. There is nothing wrong with the enthusiasm of the revolution and the starting point, but if the wrong decisions will cause huge losses to the revolution and even ruin the results, then we are the sinners of the revolution. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, what you said is reasonable, you can't be in a hurry in everything, you must take precautions. I'm ashamed, I'm not as good as you know about the Soviet Union, and you should be down-to-earth and take one step at a time to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

It can be seen that Zhang Hanfu, a Bolshevik who admires Soviet Russia very much, is changing under the subtle influence of Ouyang Jian, and the key is that Ouyang Jian's views are accepted by him. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, your political consciousness is far higher than ours, I am very shocked by this, I have been together for so long, it is the first time I have heard your high arguments." Mao Zetan liked. Ouyang Jian smiled and said modestly: "This is just my personal thought, because I have the obligation to perform sacred duties repeatedly. In fact, Ouyang Jian knew that soon Li Lisan was going to implement the plan to seize the central city, and at the moment Ouyang Jian was powerless to stop it.

Ouyang Jian continued: "Comrade Zhang Hanfu, your theoretical level is very high, combined with the current situation, combined with our analysis and judgment, make a fuss in theory. In particular, you should carefully study the articles published by Comrade Runzhi before and after the Gutian Conference, and maybe you can get a better answer! Zhang Hanfu nodded. Ouyang Jian's next step was to take advantage of the gap between the military rearmament battle and go to Shanghai. There are two purposes for going to Shanghai, and when he sees Enlai, he should make Enlai mentally prepared in advance, and lay the groundwork for supporting Runzhi in the future.

In addition, Ouyang Jian wanted to meet the arms dealer Hermann, and it was estimated that he had returned from Germany. They had to handle their previous agreements themselves. Ouyang Jian knew that the Germans were very strict, and the agreed things would not be aborted. If we do not get a good grasp of the matter of purchasing arms, I am afraid that there will be no opportunity in a few years. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they ushered in the arrival of the New Year under the serious topic. Zhang Hanfu was overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol and fell asleep, and Ouyang Jian and Mao Zetan walked out of the room side by side.

The night in the county town was lit up by the light of firecrackers, and the mood of the two was fluctuating, and it was difficult to calm down. "Political commissar, I must go to Shanghai to report the situation in detail to Comrade Enlai, and at the same time obtain Comrade Enlai's support to the greatest extent." Ouyang Jian's reason, Mao Zetan couldn't refuse. "Do you want to bring more people with you for safety?" "It's not safe to have a lot of people, I take Mu Shixiong, pony. Shangguan Fei, 4 people will do.

"Shangguan Fei?" Mao Zetan's face showed a surprised expression. "Shangguan Fei has connections in Shanghai, so it is convenient for us to operate in Shanghai."
