Chapter 64: Alone? (Ask for recommendation)
As a soldier who traveled back to this era in later generations, He Zhengdao knows better than anyone else. The Long March forged a Red Army with an iron will. Each of those who survived could be called the elite backbone of the Red Army.
But for many surviving Red Army, this long march full of blood and suffering is a past that many people do not want to recall. Because, on this road, they feel too much life and death.
For many people in later generations, those who fell in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression deserve their remembrance. But there are not many people who have fallen on this Long March and will really remember them.
In He Zhengdao's view, the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were a dark time that could not be looked back on for many Chinese people. There are many warlords, frequent civil wars, and the smoke of the War of Resistance, and in any process, countless good sons and daughters have died in it.
Compared with many Red Army soldiers who did not know at this moment, the two parties, which were regarded as mortal enemies in the future, would eventually come together again because of the War of Resistance. At that time, think about the people who have fallen on the Long March now, how would they feel?
Other people, He Zhengdao can't control it. But he knew one thing, the more than 20 Red Army soldiers buried outside Renhuai City at this moment were all his soldiers. If he is alive in the future, he will come back to pay homage to the souls of these comrades.
Even if he knew that in this civil war, including the Central Army, there were also many people who paid with their lives. Nobody wants that to happen, but it happens.
As the commander of the independent division, He Zhengdao must tell every officer and soldier that he will not forget the meritorious deeds they have made at this moment. If there is an opportunity in the future, He Zhengdao will also advocate to pay tribute to these Red officers and soldiers who died in the Long March.
The soldiers who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression need future generations to remember their exploits. But these soldiers, who sacrificed their precious lives for the belief of the Red Army, are also worthy of being remembered by the Red Army. Well, remembering this kind of thing is sometimes a painful thing!
Looking at the officers and soldiers of the independent division who went out again, political commissar Yao Shengjun could also feel that after this funeral before the expedition. The expressions of the officers and men of each independent division appeared to be more mature and steady, and their mentality seemed to have changed greatly.
Thinking about the 'grievance' model that He Zhengdao came up with, Yao Shengjun couldn't help but say: "Division Commander, I think you can completely shoulder the division commander's political commissar!" The previous funeral really made the officers and men of our independent division more brave and fearless. ”
Facing Yao Shengjun's words, He Zhengdao said with some emotion: "If I can, I don't want to do that." Even if I know that it's normal for people to die in war. But watching each of the fighters leave, I don't feel good in my heart.
I just hope, taking this opportunity, to tell our fighters. No one wants to fight such a civil war. But if we want to survive, we have to fight such a battle. Only by living can we wait until the day when our ideals are realized.
This road is destined to be cast with blood. As their commander, I just want to make them feel that their sacrifices are more worthwhile. But if I could, I would prefer them to live.
As for the division commander and political commissar you said on one shoulder, then you really exalted me. If you hadn't managed logistics and the ideological education of the troops, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been as easy as I am now. Don't really say this in the future! It's going to make people laugh! ”
seems to be contradictory, but it still makes Yao Shengjun feel that this division commander, who is more than ten years younger than him, has a mature mentality that does not match his age. Such a civil war, if there is a choice, who wants to fight?
It's just that Chairman Chiang, who holds that 'if you go outside the country must first settle down inside', he doesn't want to see that there are voices of resistance against him in China. If they want to continue on this path, they must fight to the end.
'Division, I believe that victory will be ours after all!' ’
I believe it too! ’
As the division commander and political commissar of the independent division, even though the age gap between the two is large, they feel that it is very comfortable to work with each other. In terms of military command, Yao Shengjun will not interfere. In terms of political education, He Zhengdao will not ask either.
Soon after the independent division came out of Renhuaicheng, the main force of the Red Army, which had only rested briefly in Xishui, strode along the safe passage opened by the independent division. When the independent division advanced into Qianxi, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission was also stationed in Maotai Town.
Looking at the transferred prisoners and supplies, Zhou Enlai, who received the supplies, also said with emotion: "Lao Mao, it seems that Xiao He is better than we imagined." Every time there is a seizure, don't forget to leave a copy for our headquarters! ”
'Isn't it normal for seizures to be returned to justice?' It's just that this kid, why does he purchase so many supplies every time? ’
In Mao Taizu's view, the money seems to be relatively small among the materials handed over by the independent division. But the materials are a little more than you can imagine. Even if he felt that it seemed right to do so, he was still a little puzzled.
Faced with Mao Taizu's inquiry, Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "What? There are too many supplies, and you still dislike it! I think this kid is actually very smart, and knows that these supplies are more useful for us to move on to the next war than money.
With an independent division in front of us, our actions have undoubtedly become easier. It's just that next, whether the independent division can withstand the resistance of the Guizhou army, I'm really a little worried! Why don't you send the Red Ninth Army to help? ”
Knowing that the independent division wanted to advance into Guiyang, it must first defeat the Guizhou army division in Qianxi. If this Guizhou army division is not defeated, and the independent division feints to attack Guiyang, it may face the danger of being flanked in the front and rear.
Regarding Mr. Zhu's worries, Mao Taizu finally shook his head and said, "Forget it!" We should have faith in him! As long as the independent division defeats the Qianjun division in front of them, our next road will be better.
At least, they will not worry about the encirclement of the Qianjun army from behind. If we really want to support them, we must march faster. Presumably, at this time, the Central Army had already discovered that our main forces had shifted. ”
In fact, Mao Taizu's guess was correct. When the independent division entered the territory of Qianxi, the reconnaissance company acting as the vanguard sent a message. The Guizhou army division stationed in western Qianxi seems to have been prepared.
Knowing this situation, the independent division that entered Wuma Town in Qianxi also began to think about the next battle. At least He Zhengdao believed that the Guizhou troops stationed in Jinsha in the later generations should not have the courage to take the initiative to attack them.
At this moment, it is not called Jinsha's new drum field, which is itself the Sichuan-Guizhou border Sichuan-salt traffic artery, and there are many people who come and go to do business in it, and hundreds of miles of local specialties are gathered, which also makes it a commercial market town controlled by the Guizhou army.
Although he knew that this was an important town for the Qianjun to collect commercial taxes, He Zhengdao felt that the strong attack was not in line with the current situation of the independent division. After some discussion, He Zhengdao felt that the strong attack on the new drum field did not conform to the combat style of the independent division.
said directly: "Chief of Staff, since the Qianjun already knows, we have taken Renhuai City." Then they must have guessed that our main forces have withdrawn from the north bank of Chishui. Now, they are powerless to stop us from marching into Qianxi.
The Guizhou army division in front of us, as can be seen from the defensive measures they have arranged, they seem to be worried that we will enter western Qianxi. If we pretend to bypass Qianxi and continue to advance towards Guiyang, how do you think Chairman Chiang will respond? ”
'What does the division commander mean, transfer this Qian army out? ’
As the chief of staff of the division, Wang Tianlin naturally also has a certain degree of operational command ability. Hearing He Zhengdao's analysis of the battle situation, Wang Tianlin felt that the trick of luring the snake out of the hole would indeed be easier than fighting a tough battle.
Hearing that Wang Tianlin understood what he meant, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This place is not far from Xifeng, and there is also a garrison regiment of the Guizhou Army stationed in Xifeng. If we enter the territory of Xifeng again, do you think the Qianjun who are playing the new drum field will come out? ”
'Even if they don't come out, Chairman Jiang, who is worried about the instability of Guiyang, will order them to copy our back road! ’
'Nice! The first regiment, the logistics regiment and the artillery battalion were ordered to march forward in a hurry. What do you think of letting them play the number of the independent regiment and spreading a slogan along the way, entering Guiyang City, and capturing Commissar Jiang alive? ’
'Good! In this way, Chairman Jiang will not be able to panic! ’
Compared with Mao Taizu, who commanded the Red Army, in terms of military command, Chairman Chiang's command ability did not dare to compliment. I believe that as soon as this slogan comes out, that Jiang member will be very angry even if he is not afraid.
In this way, Chairman Chiang will definitely annihilate the infantry regiment that broke into the territory of Xifeng by the lone army at all costs. And He Zhengdao, who still has two infantry regiments in his hand, can completely hide his strength, and the 103rd Division is caught off guard.
With the order issued, Zhang Cheng took the newly expanded infantry regiment, as well as the largest number of late regiments, and the artillery battalion to dig up and bury the mountain artillery, and bypassed the new field of drumming and marched towards the territory of Xifeng.
The newly formed 103rd Division, which guarded the new drum field, was originally in strict battle and waited for the Red Army to attack the rich new drum field. But the Independence Army suddenly changed its course and headed straight for Xifeng City, which made them very surprised.
With the news fed back one after another, the main force of the Red Army that captured Renhuai City really marched to Xifeng in a hurry. It seems that the 103rd Division, which is stationed in the new drum field, is completely ignored, and it is possible to outflank it from behind.
After all, according to the intelligence held by the Central Army, the main force of the Red Army is still near Maotai Town, and it is at least two or three days away from coming. Isn't this main force of the Red Army going deep into the army alone in such a lonely way?
