Chapter 306: Li Tie's Arrangement
At this time, in the headquarters of the Red Army, the Military Committee and the central leadership were engaged in a fierce quarrel, and some of the central leaders believed that now that they had crossed the Xiang River, they should break through the fourth blockade line in one go.
Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, now the river bridge behind him or the pontoon bridge has already been blown up by the Red Army when it crossed the Xiang River, and it is time for the Red Army to attack Liu Xiang in front of him with all its might.
However, the commanders of the Military Commission did not agree with the opinion of the central leadership, because the Red Army was now at the end of its strength, and it was impossible to break through the 50,000 fully loaded Sichuan army in front of it.
Moreover, they are veterans of the Sichuan army who have just experienced the Sichuan Civil War for several years, and compared with these other soldiers, they have no advantage except for a slightly stronger will to fight.
Moreover, tens of thousands of red-blazing soldiers not only lacked food and clothing, but also lacked even the most basic ammunition, coupled with the fact that all the soldiers were seriously underrested in the past few days, and many soldiers could even sleep when aiming.
And now they are contacting the angel, and I believe that there will be a reply soon, because this place is mountainous, and if Commander Chiang's troops want to replace Liu Xiang, they will have to walk at least three days or more.
They could have given the warriors a day of rest, and after that day, whether the angels came in or not, their troops would find a way to climb the mountain in front of them.
Climbing over the high mountain in front of you, you may die for life, but if you attack the Sichuan army in front of you now, you will be asking for your own death.
Several leaders of the dogmatic faction in the central government now also know that they have a powerful ally codenamed Angel, after all, the reason why life in the Soviet District has been able to survive in the past few years is also thanks to the various supplies of this angel. Including this long-distance strategic shift.
Even though they knew that their command had made a mistake, several regiments of the Red Army finally broke through three blockades in succession and finally arrived here by relying on their strong will.
And these achievements are inseparable from the supplies that the angels once sent.
Just like now, although the ammunition is insufficient, the soldiers still have some medicine and salt that the soldiers urgently need, which allows many of their wounded fighters to hold on.
However, in the face of such a heavy encirclement, several central leaders who did not have strong military qualities could not hold their breath, and they wanted to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible so as not to fall into the hands of the national army.
As for whether the Red Army soldiers can fight again, in their eyes, they have held out for so many days, and it is not bad for these two days. That's why they repeatedly came to the Military Commission to force the palace.
However, seeing that several bigwigs of the Military Commission today closed their eyes one by one, as if they were closing their eyes and meditating, they themselves knew that it was because others looked down on them in their hearts, which made several central bigwigs very uncomfortable.
Li De was thinking, "It seems that he is not a military commander, and when he jumps out of the encirclement, he will abdicate and make way for Xian, and he cannot let the Soviet power in China, which has just improved, be destroyed in his own hands because of his blind guidance." ”
Bogu was thinking, "I have always trusted Li De's command ability, but in fact, it was the blind obedience to his command that led to the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, and I suffered such a big loss when I broke through, am I wrong to trust?"
Then I was wrong to listen to Secretary Wang Ming's words? It was the German military adviser Li De who recommended him, and Li De also talked about military strategy. Could it be that he is the legendary Zhao Kuo from Germany?
Alas, Secretary Wang Ming is far away in the Soviet Union, I may really make a mistake, and I will not give the order of the foreign monarch, isn't it just the current form? As an old party member, why would I make such a low-level mistake? ”
And some leaders are not angry in their hearts: "Okay! Aren't you in charge of the military? When you get out of the encirclement, I will join a few members of the Standing Committee to dissolve your current Military Commission and replace it with someone who listens to you. ”
As soon as several leaders of the Central Military Commission saw this, several central leaders stopped talking. Instead, he opened his eyes and began to speak.
"Angel is the most important ally of our party and the strongest supporter, and Minister Li has explained in detail to Comrade Angel the situation we find ourselves in, and it is necessary for us to listen to his final opinion.
Whether the angels succeed or not, whether they can help us or not, the warriors urgently need to rest and recuperate is an objective fact in front of us.
Before you arrive here, we have sent a telegram to Zhang Guotao in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region that we will join them in the north, and suggest that he continue north with us then.
Otherwise, he will soon suffer the same losses as our Central Red Army, but unfortunately he has not replied so far, so we are also waiting for his news so that we can make a decision on the next move. Zhu Weiren explained to the central leaders in front of him.
"But you pinned the hopes of the whole party and the whole army on an angel who had never met, this is really child's play." A central leader said.
"The identity of the angel is only known to me and Minister Li, including the current Commander Zhu, he has only guessed who it is, but we have never betrayed the identity of the angel, because this is the greatest protection we can do for him." Zhou Weiren once again emphasized not to make a fuss about the identity of an angel, because this is the iron law of the secrecy front.
"You can hint at it, right? For example, which powerful warlord is he, Zhang Xueliang? Yan Xishan? Or Feng Yuxiang?
Or is it an international friend? You at least have to make us know what to do, right? The leader guessed 108,000 miles away.
Looking at the few central leaders in front of them who did not know anything about China's domestic situation, Zhu Weiren and Zhou Weiren couldn't help but look at each other.
They both saw deep remorse in each other's eyes, how could they obey the blind command of these dogmatic leaders sent by the Comintern?
It seems that the plan to deprive them of military command and leadership must be carried out quickly, or the revolutionary ranks will have to be buried sooner or later.
While these leaders were still discussing their next move in this makeshift straw hut, Minister Li walked over from the distant mountain road with difficult steps.
Minister Li came directly to the headquarters, and his face was full of tears with excitement. When Li De saw Minister Li's eyes full of tears, he was frightened and immediately shouted: "What's the matter? Didn't the angel reply? Or are we hopeless? ”
Bogu and several other central leaders were also shocked, if there was really no way, they would have to explain here this time.
Thinking that the hard work of escaping here could not avoid the end of defeat, several central leaders were also sad, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in front of them, they would have cried a long time ago.
"It must be good news, if it is bad news, Minister Li will be more stable than usual, not so excited." Commander Zhu, who had been sitting without speaking, said affirmatively.
"I think so, O Knon, let me tell you the good news of the angel, for I suppose he has either buried us somewhere, or sent a great army to save us." Zhou Weiren was also very confident that the angel sent him must be good news, but unfortunately he only guessed the beginning, not the end.
"An angel calls, tonight, the whole army will go north and pass directly through Liu Xiang's defense area." As soon as Minister Li's words came out, the entire command headquarters suddenly became noisy.
"Is he crazy? There are 50,000 troops on the opposite side, and we only have 30,000 tired divisions that are short of guns and ammunition, how can we pass through Liu Xiang's defense area? Li De was surprised again, this angel that the Military Committee has always looked at is not a spy of the National Army who broke into our party, right?
"Like, isn't that pushing us into the fire pit? Does he want us all to die, so that he can lead us Soviets? "A central leader burst into flames.
"Yes, what kind of heart do these angels and your military committee have? Have you already discussed with Liu Xiang on the other side, and want us to throw ourselves into the net, so that you can go and receive Jiang Guangtou's reward? ”
These political leaders are really not suitable for leading troops to fight, and they are not logical at all. If the Military Commission wants to rebel, how good it would be to directly tie them up and send them to Commander Chiang. And why bother with so much thought.
"Don't make a noise, everyone, listen to Comrade Kenong's words." It was Zhu Weiren who made the final decision, and everyone present looked at Minister Li quietly.
Minister Li calmed his breath, wiped the tears in his eyes, and said word by word: "Angel letter, let us pass directly from Liu Xiang's Chinese army in a light car tonight."
Don't light torches, don't make loud noises, when passing through the Chinese army defense area of the Sichuan army, there will be 10,000 new rifles and 2 million rounds of ammunition on the road, as well as seven days' marching rations. Let the soldiers silently pick it up and leave.
By tomorrow morning, all the troops must pass through the defense area of the Sichuan army, and their Sichuan army will launch a fierce attack on the current garrison of our army at eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow. All those who did not leave the station will be wiped out. ”
As soon as Minister Li finished speaking, there was silence in the headquarters.
"Did I hear me right? Not only did the 50,000-strong army on the opposite side not attack us? And send us guns, ammunition, food supplies? Isn't he Liu Xiang crazy, or is the angel crazy and talking nonsense? A central leader was the first to ask questions.
"That is, when we are all fools? Isn't that a fantasy? With such an obvious strategy to lure the king into the urn, and then come up with a strategy to catch turtles in the urn, can you people in the Military Commission still believe it? Anyway, if you want to go, you can go, I won't go. Another central leader raised a question.
"I believe what the angels say." Zhou Chuanren replied recently.
"I believe it too." Another member of the Military Council replied.
"I believe it."
"I believe it." More and more people support what Minister Lee said in his telegram.
Minister Li said with tears in his eyes again: "Even if the emperor Lao Tzu is here, I don't believe such a thing when he says something to me." But I believe what the angel says. Everyone set their eyes on Zhu Weiren, and now he hasn't expressed his position yet.
Zhu Weiren lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "So many knowledgeable and literate military geniuses believe in the angel's arrangement, I have no reason not to believe it. Anyway, whether you leave tonight or not, we must go. ”
Li De and Bogu saw that the members of the Military Commission agreed, although they were also full of doubts, but because they had no way to deal with the situation in front of them, the two of them could only agree with the opinions of the Military Commission.
And as soon as the two of them agreed, there was no need for the entire Central Party Committee to stick to it. In the end, everyone immediately reached a consensus and fully followed the angel's telegram.
Soon the order was transmitted, and it arrived at eleven o'clock in the evening, so the troops immediately passed through the defense area of the Sichuan army.
The people of the Central Party Committee also immediately left the headquarters of the Central Military Commission and returned to their own territory to arrange for the packing of various important materials and prepare for the evacuation operation in the middle of the night.
Just as everyone was leaving, Zhou Weiren suddenly found that there was a small paragraph under Minister Li's telegram that Minister Li had not read.
Zhou Weiren took a closer look and smiled: "This is really the style of angels, every time you will make something that makes you cry and laugh." ”
Zhu Weiren was also very surprised when he heard this, and the members of the Central Military Commission came to Minister Li one after another, and everyone gathered around Minister Li to carefully look at the last line of Minister Li's telegram.
I saw that at the end of the telegram, there was a line of small words written behind the signed angel: "Brother Xintie! eternal life. ”
