As many people speculated, the return of the independent column made the head of the headquarters, who had been depressed during this time, also seem to breathe a sigh of relief. In the face of the strong Zhang Guotao, they were very humble before.

Although it was the first time that the two Red Army armies met in Sichuan. But with the idea that 'the Red Army in the world is one', no one will think about a real fight. However, this kind of situation of blackmailing the central government has indeed made the central government very angry and passive.

Looking at the independent column that followed the Red Ninth Army Corps and successfully arrived in the Lixian area, whether it was the three main divisions, or the troops currently hanging with the recruit brigade, and the logistics troops with no end in sight.

Everyone knows that this is the most elite and powerful unit under the command of the Central Red Army. And the backbone commanders of this army were all brought from the Xiangjiang River by He Zhengdao, and they are also absolutely loyal to He Zhengdao.

And He Zhengdao, the commander of the column, is Mao Taizu's confidant. Now that He Zhengdao is returning, Zhang Guotao, who previously wanted to take over Mao Taizu's military command, is afraid that it will not be easy to do so again.

Looking at Mao Taizu and the others who greeted them at the city gate, He Zhengdao and Xiao Jinguang also ran forward. Coming to these smiling heads of the headquarters, He Zhengdao saluted very respectfully: "Hello leaders! ”

'Good! It's good to be back! Seeing that you have come back safely, our hearts can finally land. This time, you have succeeded in fulfilling the task of the main force. Connecting six cities. That's amazing! ’

Listening to Luo Fu (Zhang Wentian)'s praise, He Zhengdao also said embarrassedly: "Thank you, General Secretary, for your praise!" But. We're still not done. Originally, I wanted to hit Chengdu. Outcome. The Sichuan army returned too quickly.

In order to ensure the safety of the column, I chose to withdraw and join the headquarters after consulting with the political commissar. I really feel sorry that I didn't make Chengdu. Please also criticize the leaders! Amazing three words, I dare not be ashamed! ”

'Old Mao, do you hear that?' This kid is turning a corner and wants us to praise him! Chengdu, that is the nest of the Sichuan army. If you really serve it, it is estimated that the Sichuan army will fight with you! You've done a good job of bringing the troops back. ’

Just when the heads of the headquarters were laughing. Mao Taizu also said in a timely manner: "Enter the light, the right way, I will introduce you to a few leaders of the Red Fourth Front Army." This is Comrade Zhang Guotao, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and head of the Red Fourth Front Army! ”

'Hello, Chairman Zhang! I am He Zhengdao! ’

Looking at Zhang Guotao, one of the founders of the Red Army, who finally embarked on the road of betrayal of the party, even if they both knew each other's positions. But He Zhengdao still looked very respectful and gave the other party a very standard military salute.

Zhang Guotao, who returned the salute, also said politely: "I've always heard of it." There is a brave and warlike general in the Central Red Army, and when I saw it today, Commander He looked younger than I thought! ”

Faced with Zhang Guotao's seemingly joking words. He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Chairman Zhang, it's serious! If it weren't for the help of the comrades of the column, the head of the headquarters would have trusted him. I'm afraid I won't be able to be this commander. ”

After replying politely, everyone watched the verbal confrontation between the two. I also felt snickering in my heart. The meaning of Zhang Guotao's words is obvious, and he feels that the central government has appointed such a young He Zhengdao. It's just a bit of nonsense.

But He Zhengdao's answer is also very interesting. pointed out that the comrades of the column helped, and the subtext was that the independent column was the unit he pulled up. And the trust of the head of the headquarters is undoubtedly that he has done a good job and has not embarrassed the head of the headquarters.

Many people's impression of He Zhengdao was still in the Soviet area. But when they saw He Zhengdao this time, they really realized. This young man who joined the Red Army and could only play with throwing knives is really mature!

waited until Mao Taizu gave He Zhengdao again, introduced the political commissar of the Red Fourth Front Army, and the commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian. He Zhengdao's attitude was also very respectful, and it was enough to give these leaders face.

To welcome the return of the independent column, the head of the headquarters also gave He Zhengdao great treatment. But everyone knows that after the independent column and the headquarters converged, the Central Red Army was no longer afraid of the Red Fourth Front Army in terms of strength.

That night, He Zhengdao received an invitation from Mao Taizu and appeared at Mao Taizu's temporary residence. At this time, Zhou Enlai, Mr. Zhu, and even several leaders of the Central Red Army gathered in this simple temporary residence.

The people who were on guard duty were all the most elite officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment under He Zhengdao. It can be said that with the return of the reconnaissance group, it is not easy for the people of the Red Fourth Front Army to get close to this place easily.

And near the headquarters of the Red Fourth Front Army, it was also heavily guarded. In this case, even ordinary soldiers can feel the clouds that permeate the sky over Lixian, and they can't be dispelled by continuous condensation.

Seeing He Zhengdao coming in, Mao Taizu also said directly: "Zhengdao, do you know the reason why we deliberately brought you in secret?" ”

'Please make it clear to the leaders! ’

In the face of He Zhengdao's directness, Mao Taizu said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Enlai, let's introduce the situation first!" ”

'Good! This is a reconnaissance report sent back by the reconnaissance regiment of the independent column not long ago in Zhuokki. Here, there is also a handwritten letter written by the comrade Zhongsheng who was urgently sent back by the reconnaissance group, and is still secretly detained.

Considering the seriousness of the situation, I was worried that some people would take risks. For this reason, this news waited until the return of the independent column, and I called everyone to announce it. Luo Fu, you have been in contact with Comrade Zhongsheng, you should be familiar with his handwriting! ’

I was also a little curious about why on the night of the return of the independent column, Zhou Enlai secretly summoned the Standing Committee members of the Standing Committee who came here for a meeting. Soon saw this handwritten letter that the reconnaissance group urgently sent back.

After reading the letter, Luo Fu was very shocked and angry: "How is this possible? How dare he be so lawless! ”

The other members of the Central Committee who had been invited* were equally shocked by the contents of the letter after reading the secret letter in turn. It's just that this result, in contrast to the current situation, seems to be very reasonable!

If these disobedient people are not eliminated, how can Zhang Guotao have such supreme power in the Red Fourth Front Army? It is precisely because he has such power that he dares to fight against the Central Chamber.

After the letter was read by everyone, even He Zhengdao could feel that the aura of these Standing Committee members had become much thicker. But soon these committee members were very embarrassed. After all, the strength of the Red Fourth Front Army was not inferior to that of the Central Red Army.

Most importantly, Zhang Guotao, by virtue of his absolute control over the Red Fourth Front Army, already had the right to dialogue with the Central Committee on an equal footing. Coupled with the importance of the other party in the party, it is really not easy for them to deal with Zhang Guotao's problem!

After half a ring, He Zhengdao seemed very calm and did not speak. And Mao Taizu finally said: "Things have happened, and the current situation does not allow us to continue to drag on." The Northwest Army and Hu Zongnan's troops are speeding up their deployment.

If we don't leave, the food crisis alone will be enough to bring us down. In this case, it is necessary to come up with a plan as soon as possible. Even if the Red Fourth Front Army does not leave, we must start to set off and continue northward. ”

'What about the Red Fourth Front?' ’

Soon, a member of the Standing Committee asked such a question, and Mao Taizu pondered for a moment and said: "Righteous way, you are the only commander among us who led troops into the western Sichuan Plain. Do you think it is possible for Sichuan to be occupied by us? ”

did not directly answer the words of the Standing Committee, but Mao Taizu asked He Zhengdao a question that seemed to be not answered. It's just that everyone quickly understood the intention of Mao Taizu to ask this.

If you want to **** Sichuan, it is a prerequisite to lay down Chengdu. can't take Chengdu, the so-called **** Sichuan, which is also a joke. I'm afraid that the Red Army won't be paid, but the food must be eaten! The western Sichuan Plain is the granary of Sichuan.

Regarding Mao Taizu's inquiry, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "If you want to occupy Sichuan, you must take Chengdu." Without the granary and tax land of the West Sichuan Plain, it is impossible to gain a foothold in Sichuan.

Now that the Sichuan army is facing us, it seems that it is retreating one after another. But all the leaders know that there are many factions in the Sichuan army, and they have not worked together to encircle and suppress us, and more of their own elites are retained.

If we really stay in Sichuan and don't leave, the Sichuan army can join forces to resist the entry of the Central Army into Sichuan, and we can fight to the death with our Red Army to the end. Even if we can win the Sichuan army, what will become of Sichuan in the end?

In addition, the words of Sichuan people governing Sichuan are very well recognized by the people in Sichuan. This should be best known to the commander-in-chief. Once they touch the bottom limit of the Sichuan army, their combat effectiveness will exceed our imagination.

This is also the reason why, after learning that Yang Sen and Liu Xiang returned to help, I gave up attacking Chengdu. In my opinion, the final result of fighting to the death with the Sichuan army is that we and the Sichuan army are both defeated.

The most important thing is that the Central Army has now set up a camp in Chongqing. Lao Jiang's move is already obvious. If the Sichuan army finds it difficult to deal with us, it is inevitable to let the central army enter Sichuan.

If that situation really is formed, even if we defeat Chengdu, it is unlikely that we will want to turn it into a base area. And such a war, which is also not recognized by the people of Sichuan, will also allow the Central Army to find a handle to attack us.

After all, the slogan we played before was to go north to resist Japan. If we stop, what will the people in China think of us? At least in terms of political advocacy and propaganda, going north to resist Japan is very important to establish the image of our party and our army. ”

With such a statement, the Standing Committee members present also really realized that it seemed a little too idealistic to think about **** Sichuan. But for going north to resist Japan, is it really the way out for the Red Army?

Regarding this concern, the Standing Committee members will not voice it in this case. But what they can confirm is that He Zhengdao supported Mao Taizu's adherence to the northward strategy. Knowing this already says a lot!

The rest to do may be to have a solemn talk with Zhang Guotao. If Zhang Guotao continues to insist on going south, I am afraid that the two main forces of the Red Army, which have just met, will face the situation of parting ways again!
