Chapter 40 Concerns of Headquarters (Requests for Recommendations)

Regarding the reorganization and management of the prisoners, after He Zhengdao, who acted as a white-faced, even threatened and frightened, Yao Shengjun, as the political commissar, quickly arrived at the camp where the prisoners were located with the officers and soldiers in charge of logistics and carrying a steaming meal.

Looking at the vegetable pot, there was still fragrant meat, and many prisoners of the Central Army felt that the food of these Red Army was so good? Even if they are in the Central Army, it is not easy to eat meat in ordinary times.

It seemed that these prisoners of the Central Army were greedy for the taste of meat in the pot, Yao Shengjun smiled and said: "This is the horse meat that was killed in today's battle." In normal times, when we march and fight, it is not easy to eat such a meal. ”

After Yao Shengjun said this, these prisoners of the Central Army also truly believed that the Red Army battalion commander who arranged the food for them still did not violate He Zhengdao's order and provided them with the same food as the Red Army.

This kind of food arrangement that treats everyone equally, still makes many Central Army feel that these Red Army troops may not be as hateful and terrifying as they imagined. In the case of the Red Army, which was captured by them, it would be nice to be able to drink a sip of water.

When the captives began to eat, He Zhengdao, who also returned to the temporary station, looked at He Xiaoshan, who came in with the food, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten yourself?" ”

'Eat! I haven't eaten meat for a long time, this horse meat stew is very fragrant tonight, brother, you can eat more! ’

Usually when outsiders are there, He Xiaoshan will also call He Zhengdao 'head of the regiment'. Now when there are only two of them, He Xiaoshan calls He Zhengdao 'brother'. For such a title, He Zhengdao also felt very comfortable.

Even if the two have no blood relationship, since they recognize He Xiaoshan as their younger brother, He Zhengdao also sincerely treats him as his own brother. If possible, He Zhengdao will always take him with him.

While He Zhengdao was eating, the headquarters of the Red Second Army Corps in Xiangxi, far away, Mr. He felt a little unbelievable about the news provided by the Jingzhou guerrillas today.

Looking at the same unbelievable political commissar, Mr. He asked, "Political commissar, do you think this news is credible?" ”

Although it is a little hard to believe, I still believe Comrade Xu Sicheng's report. According to the information he provided, isn't it in line with our previous suspicion that something was going wrong near Jingzhou? ’

If someone else reports the news, perhaps Ren Bishi will not be credible. However, Xu Sicheng, who reported the intelligence today, was the backbone of the Red Army sent by the military region to the Jingzhou area to organize guerrilla areas behind enemy lines.

The Red Army soldiers who went back to the headquarters with him to report the situation were questioned individually one by one. It was concluded that an independent regiment, formed entirely from the Red Army that had broken up and captured the Red Army, sacked the city of Jingzhou in Hunan Province.

'So you mean, let's send a telegram and ask the headquarters?' At least the political commissar and head of this independent regiment believe that someone at the headquarters should know. If it is, it is really rare! ’

'Okay, then send a telegram and ask!' It's just that I'm more troubled now is how to get out that batch of supplies. More than 3,000 rifles, as well as a batch of machine gun ammunition and food, are really important to us. ’

Ren Bishi, who basically believed in the guerrilla leader's report, also attached great importance to the batch of materials hidden in the mountains of Jingzhou. With these materials, the Red Second Front Army was able to expand at least one main regiment.

Most importantly, the food and ammunition hidden there were exactly what the Red Second Front Army urgently needed. It's just that around Jingzhou City today, the Hunan army has also gathered heavy troops, and it is really difficult to get back those materials smoothly!

Hearing this, Mr. He, smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as this independent regiment really exists, I believe we can always find an opportunity to go around to Jingzhou." What's more, He Jian won't stay there forever. ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Red Second Front Army, Mr. He naturally knew the importance of these materials to them. If the news is confirmed, Mr. He feels that in order to get back this batch of materials smoothly, it is also very necessary to fight with the Hunan army.

And at this moment, the main force of the Red Army, which was far away in Zunyi, had just held a meeting of great significance. In this meeting, Mao Taizu, who had been excluded from command decisions, finally regained command of the army.

As for the resolution documents issued to the various units after the meeting, many Red Army commanders and fighters felt that this was long overdue. After fighting along the way, many commanders knew that there was a major problem with the command from above.

According to the decision of the Zunyi Conference, the Red Army decided to establish a new Soviet base area in the southwest or northwest of Chengdu. It's just that the current situation is still very unfavorable for the main forces of the Red Army.

Although after advancing into Guizhou, the Red Army won successive battles. But Mao Taizu and others all knew that with the entry of the main force of the Central Army. The various national * armies that followed them were only afraid that they would implement a new encirclement and suppression strategy, and they were afraid that it would be equally dangerous if they continued to stay in Zunyi.

Just when Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu and others began to discuss the next course of action. Looking at the telegram of the Red Second Front Army copied by the telegraph operator, Zhou Enlai, who was in charge of the confidential telegram management of the headquarters, also felt incredulous.

Even though it was late at night, he still put on a suit and went to the combat command room, which also had no rest and was still studying the map. Looking at Mao Taizu and the others, who were discussing the next battle plan, he said with a smile: "Old Mao, look at this telegram?" ”

'What telegram?' Is it worth sending it so late? Good news? ’

Pretty much, you know when you see it. If the news is true, you should be happy! ’

'Oh! ’

Mao Taizu, who received the telegram, said in disbelief after reading the telegram sent by the Red Second Front Army: "Is this true? ”

Regarding Mao Taizu's surprised expression, Mr. Zhu also said with interest: "Old Mao, what is really fake?" ”

When Mr. Zhu took the telegram, he was also surprised after reading the telegram: "He Zhengdao, this kid, still has such a ability?" It seems that he was placed at his hometown's house, and he really put it right. ”

'Yes! If this news is true, then it is really good news. With a team of more than 2,000 people, I really don't know how this kid did it. That's more than 2,000 lives! ’

Thinking of the Red Army soldiers who were scattered and captured after the Red Army fought fiercely all the way from the beginning of the Long March, Mao Taizu felt very uncomfortable. Even if he knew that there were immortals in war.

But along the way, there were really too many dead Red Army commanders and fighters. Every time he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. Now he suddenly heard that He Zhengdao had rescued more than 2,000 captured Red Army soldiers, and he was indeed too happy.

At this time, Zhou Enlai also smiled and said: "I have checked the archives before, and the political commissar of this independent regiment is the political commissar of the Second Division and the First Regiment of the Red First Regiment that was broken up by the Xiangjiang River. At that time, their division commander was still distressed for a long time! ”

According to the list of independent regiment cadres sent by the Red Second Front Army, Zhou Enlai found that these people were real after some investigation. But everyone was listed as killed or missing during the Long March.

In that kind of hurry, it is normal for some people to make mistakes in counting the number of people. Despite this independent regiment, there were only more than 2,000 people. But for the Red Army, these people were precious.

"Enlai, you first send a telegram to Mr. He, and tell him that these people in the Independent Regiment are real. Also, get in touch with the Independent Regiment as soon as possible to see where they are at the moment.

If possible, we will get in touch with the Independent Mission as soon as possible. When the time comes, our next battle plan, maybe they can play a big role. I think that at present, the Central Army should not have discovered the existence of this independent regiment. ’

'Okay, I'll send a telegram now.' It seems that letting that kid be a guard company commander is a bit of a condescension. It's really hard to believe how that kid managed to save so many people. However, their current situation is also very dangerous! ’

Thinking of the current surroundings of Guixiang, it can be said that there are many armies. The independent regiment, which only has more than 2,000 people, is afraid that once its whereabouts are revealed, it is afraid that the entire army will be in danger of being wiped out at any time. Thinking of these, Zhou Enlai was also a little worried.

When the Red Second Front Army arrived, it received a telegram from Zhou Enlai. They also began to contact the independent regiment according to the radio contact signal provided by Xu Sicheng, who sent the letter.

But after the call, the telegraph operator said in frustration: "Boss, the call is not answered, and the other party's radio station should be silent." What to do? Do you continue to call? ”

Hearing the news, Mr. He thought for a while and said, "Forget it! Presumably, at this time, it should be inconvenient for them to turn on the radio at any time. Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, you call again and see if there is a response. ”

'Yes! ’

Understand that this time is really too late, and for the separate regiment, which is hiding behind enemy lines, it is quite possible that it is on the march. In this case, it is normal for the radio station to not turn on.

In fact, Mr. He didn't know that this was intentionally done by He Zhengdao. The reason is that although he remembers the time of the Zunyi meeting. But he is still a little worried about whether history will change.

Therefore, if we delay for a day or two and get in touch with the main force, perhaps in He Zhengdao's view, Commissar Mao should return to his post as a military commander at that time. At that time, he will not have to worry about being blindly commanded by those leaders who do not understand military affairs!
