In Hunan, on the west side of Jiangxi, a troop is marching with difficulty. The troops seemed to have traveled a long way, as if they had just experienced a battle, and they were all ragged and exhausted. But their resolute faces reveal strength, and the red hat badge and red collar badge on the military cap are particularly bright after being nurtured by the war. As a result of the continuous transfer of this unit, a large number of wounded appeared in the marching columns. This unit was the Red 2nd Front Army active in the Xiangxi base area, and they retreated to Jiangxi in accordance with the orders of the Central Committee.

The Red 2nd Front Army was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and after continuous fierce battles, it broke through the enemy's layers of encirclement and interception, and finally reached the Hunan and Jiangxi borders. The total strength of the troops was 8,000 when they set out from the base area, and the total strength of the troops is less than 3,000 at present. They received an order from the CPC Central Committee on 15 August to withdraw to the Jiujiang base area in Jiangxi, and after more than 20 days of fierce fighting, the officers and men finally saw the light of day and saw the warm embrace. At this time, the commander of the front army, He Long, and the political commissar Guan Xiangying, led the horses side by side, and the two of them carried two wounded people on their horses.

"Commander, you found that no troops approached Jiangxi, there were no enemy troops to intercept them, and the enemy troops following were gone, it seems that the 5th Army Corps is really intimidating to the enemy, and it is worthy of its reputation!" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying's face was excited. "The Central Red Army has played a majestic role, especially Ouyang Jian's 5th Army Corps, he is worthy of being the god of war of the Red Army, and the enemy is terrified!" He Long couldn't hide his joy and looked forward to seeing Ouyang Jian as soon as possible. "The Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee has called to inform me that Zhou Enlai, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is currently in Jiujiang, and I must report to Comrade Enlai about the evil consequences of the expansion of the base area."

Seeing that the political commissar was indignant, He Long was also heartbroken. It can be said that half of the loss of the Xiangxi base area was caused by its own civil strife. In particular, as a result of the expansion of the anti-rebellion campaign, many military cadres have been subjected to groundless suspicion and even persecution, which has greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the troops. It is said that Ouyang Jian did not implement the decision of the Central Committee to carry out the anti-rebellion campaign at all, and only then did he achieve brilliant results, and He Long admired Ouyang Jian's courage very much with mixed feelings in his heart.

A Red Army unit appeared in front, and everyone was cheered. Needless to say, it was the ** troops of the 5th Army who came to respond. Many soldiers cried with joy, and the two troops converged, hugging each other lovingly, and jumping excitedly. This is a warm embrace, this is the embrace of loved ones. Looking at this scene of long-drought seedlings and nectar, He Long and Guan Xiangying couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. He Long is 36 years old and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. After the failure of the uprising, he went to Xiangxi and opened a red base area. At the moment, he was forced to abandon the base area, and his feelings were extremely heavy for this.

Outside Xiushui County, Zhou Enlai, Ouyang Jian, Chen Yi, Su Yu, and Luo Ronghuan greeted him in person. There is no need to repeat the warm scene of the meeting, when He Long was ashamed and blamed himself, Zhou Enlai comforted: "Comrade He Long, the revolution is not smooth, we should look forward." Lao Jiang has suffered heavy losses in Jiangxi, and it is inevitable that he will not be angry with you. Of course, there are other factors that should not be mentioned. According to the order of the Central Committee, your unit officially joined the 5th Army Corps, and the number will be announced after the reorganization is completed. ”

Ouyang Jian said: "Brother He, I won't say more kind words when you come to Japan." Your unit suffered heavy losses, so the reorganization was completed in Xiushui County, and all the wounded were sent to the Yunshui County Field Hospital for treatment. "Commander Ouyang, it's my honor to be able to fight under your command, I'm not dreaming!" He Long's hearty personality caused everyone's laughter. "Comrades, you are guests from afar, and I naturally want to do my best as a landlord. The food and drinks have been prepared, let us have a hearty drink and have a good time. And the people went into the city in high spirits.

The troops' camp had already been prepared, and there was a special person in charge of hospitality. The wounded of the troops did not stay, and continued often before Yunshui County. When the comrades-in-arms met, the entire Xiushui County was full of songs and laughter. The atmosphere during the banquet was warm, Ouyang Jian raised his glass and said: "Brother He, on behalf of the 5th Legion, I once again welcome you to come, come and give us this drink!" After a glass of wine, He Long's face flushed and said, "Commander Ouyang Jian, I didn't expect your personality to be so bold and standard military demeanor. "Division Commander He, you may not know that Commander Ouyang is not only a soldier, but also a great intellectual, he knows two foreign languages, and it can be said that he is second to none among the senior generals of the Red Army." Perhaps stimulated by alcohol, Enlai was witty and teased.

Luo Ronghuan said: "Commander He, if you let Commander Ouyang come to talk about it, I'm afraid you will have the feeling of listening to the book of heaven." Enlai smiled and said, "Commander Ouyang, tell me about your strategic concept, so that Senior Commander He will be happy." "Alright! Since everyone is happy, I'll show it off again. According to the current excellent situation in Jiangxi, we have initially reached an initial strategy, which is to build a solid base area. Practice has once again proved that Zhu Mao's strategic policy of advocating the establishment of a solid base area is extremely correct, and our medium-term strategy is to ······ in the next step. ”

It was the first time He Long listened to Ouyang Jian's description of the future pattern, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, maybe it was because he was drunk and everyone was drunk, he was actually drunk. Two days later, Zhou Enlai, Ouyang Jian, Chen Yi, He Long and others returned to Yunshui County. After the reorganization of the unit is completed, officers at and above the regimental level will go to the Yunshui County Military Academy for a three-month training, and there are more than 50 female soldiers from the Xiangxi base area in the queue, and the field unit is not suitable for them, so some of these female soldiers are assigned to the field hospital of the regiment, and some are assigned to the telegraph technical detachment to learn the technology of sending telegrams.

These female soldiers from the Xiangxi base area, after two days of warm embrace, quickly rejuvenated the lively nature of the girl. Especially when they changed into the new female soldier uniforms, their beautiful figures were suddenly revealed, like flowers, slim and elegant, forming a beautiful landscape. There were female soldiers in the queue, and they were suddenly full of vitality. And the female soldiers often show their singing voices in the queue, full of singing and laughing. Enlai and Guan Xiangying went hand in hand, and political commissar Guan Xiangying took the opportunity to report to Enlai on the situation in the Xiangxi base area.

In this box, three war horses walked side by side, Ouyang Jian was in the center, and He Long and Chen Yi were on the left and right. During the journey, Ouyang Jian chatted very speculatively with He Longshan Nandi and Beishenkan, and there seemed to be no strangeness, while Chen Yi gaged beside him, humorous and funny. I don't know when the witty Sichuan dialect next to him was silent, Ouyang Jian couldn't help but squint at Chen Yi, and found that he was staring intently into the queue of female soldiers. Following his vision, Ouyang Jian discovered the New World. "Brother He, do you know the tall, good-looking girl in the female soldier queue?" "That's the captain of our health team, known as a flower of the health team, why are you interested!"

"It's not me, you look at the commissar?" He Long glanced at Chen Yi's expression and said in a low voice: "The political commissar is very discerning, the girl's name is Zhang Qian from Nanjing, and now she is going to marry the boudoir!" "What's the girl's name?" "It's called Zhang Qian!" Ouyang Jian was immediately stunned when he heard this. "How do you know her?" "I don't know, but I ask you one thing, the political commissar is single now, look at the expression of the political commissar, eighty percent of them have taken a fancy to Miss Zhang Qian, and you are responsible for fulfilling them." "Haha, there's no problem on me."

"Something is on you!" Chen Yi was awakened by He Long's throat and asked in surprise. "Commissar, the commander of the regiment has given me a special task, which will be kept secret for the time being!" Ouyang Jian secretly peeked at the tall girl and secretly thought: This Zhang Qian is definitely not the other Zhang Qian, maybe it is just a duplicate name. But isn't this coincidence a providence? Secretly observing Chen Yi, he found that he began to enter a certain state again. It seems that the political commissar fell in love at first sight! If the girl is willing, there will be no problem with this marriage.

The group of people was resting in front, and Ouyang Jian waved his hand to call Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan in front of him and asked, "I heard that the political commissar gave you two Zhang Luo objects, how is the progress?" "Commander, don't hide it, I'm in a hurry, but the political commissar is very busy and I'm embarrassed to ask!" "You're not shy about it, Chief of Staff?" "Commander, this kind of thing is still fate!" ", finding a wife is like charging into battle, if you shrink and shrink, can a good girl automatically throw herself into your arms?"

"Blame me for being careless, at present, our senior generals are all old and old, and it is time for them to form a revolutionary family. In this way, after returning to the regiment headquarters, I will order all officers above the regiment level to gather in Yunshui County, and I will give an order to find a wife. "Commander, you won't be Lalang's match, will you!" Su Yu exclaimed. "It's your own business to find a wife, how can I do it all. I will provide you with convenient conditions, as for whether you can find a wife, it is your own business. ”

Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan were confused, and they didn't know what kind of conditions the corps commander had created to find his wife. Seeing that the commander of the Ouyang Legion was secretive, it was inconvenient for the two of them to ask in detail. Ouyang Jian found that He Long was an anxious man, and he was talking to the tall girl during the break, and the girl was a little shy and looked over here from time to time. didn't expect He Long's efficiency to be extremely high, and immediately began to talk about matchmaking. Turning his head, he saw that Enlai and Guan Xiangying were still talking, and the expressions of both sides were very serious. "Chief of Staff, order the troops to rest for another hour!" Ouyang Jian ordered.

Soon, He Long walked back in good spirits, obviously done. "Legion Commander, the task you gave me is complete!" "So the girl agreed!" "Of course I agreed!" "Master He, what kind of dumb riddle did you play, what did you agree!" Political Commissar Chen Yi walked over and asked confusedly. "This, Commander Ouyang or you say!" He Long waved his hand. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Political commissar, we are all men, and it is inevitable that we will be cheesy. As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty. "You've confused me, what the hell is going on, you two are muttering about nothing?"

"Commissar, isn't it a good thing to be beautiful as an adult?" "What adult beauty?" "Okay, don't pretend, have you been looking at a tall girl all the way?" "It's a good girl, I don't deny liking her, and if the girl doesn't have a partner, I'm ready to attack!" "Haha, you don't shy away from it, tell you the truth, save your firepower! Brother He has already done it for you. "Political commissar, which tall girl is named Zhang Qian, she is the captain of the health team, and she is 19 years old this year. I told you about your situation just now, and Miss Zhang Qian is very satisfied with you and agrees to get along. ”

Chen Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately walked towards the tall girl. When Zhang Qian saw Chen Yi coming over, her face was slightly red and she walked out of the queue of female soldiers shyly. "Political commissar, you're too anxious, no one is robbing you!" Ouyang Jian and He Long couldn't help but laugh heartily when they saw this scene.
