"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, General He, Political Commissar, you are all here!" Seeing the expectant eyes of several people, Liu Hua relieved the tense atmosphere and said with a smile.

"Liu Hua, seeing that you are so relaxed, you must have succeeded." The one who had been frowning finally let go.

"Commander-in-Chief. You're a god. Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Quick, let's talk." The commander-in-chief said excitedly.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua is fortunate not to be dishonored, this time Zhang Guotao lost his wife and soldiers."

"Eh, you're going to kill me in a hurry, say it quickly!" As he spoke, he also hit Liu Hua's head

"I said, I said, commander-in-chief, take a look, this is the list of cadres I asked Zhang Guotao for, and tomorrow the people on the list will come to the headquarters to report." As he spoke, Liu Hua handed a large list in his pocket to the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief took the list and looked at the light. "Haha, Chief of Staff, Liu Hua has helped us a lot this time." The commander-in-chief said with a smile.

"Uh, Commander-in-Chief, what's the matter?" The Chief of Staff gave an expectant look.

"Come on. Look. The cadres Zhang Guotao gave were all the cadres we wanted to save but couldn't save, but I didn't expect Zhang Guotao to release all these cadres in order to win over our Liu Hua. Hehe. With that, he handed the list to the chief of staff

The next day, 150 cadres came to the headquarters of the Seventh Army Corps on time to report, Liu Hua looked at the ragged cadres in front of him, Liu Hua shook his head, it seems that Zhang Guotao is really cruel to these cadres

Comrades, now that you have come to the Seventh Legion, I don't care what you have done, whether you have made mistakes or not, now that you have survived the Seventh Legion, everything has to start anew. The Seventh Army Corps was formed after the Battle of Xiangjiang, and only more than 2,000 soldiers in front of you are the old Red Army, and all the remaining soldiers are composed of soldiers who are willing to join the Red Army among the prisoners of war of our army, although the proportion of the Red Army is very small, but the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army is indeed very strong, which you can see from all the examples of the Seventh Army Corps. Now that the Seventh Army Corps has you joining, I think the combat effectiveness in the future will only be strong, not weak, and now I order, all those who have served as regiment-level cadres will stand in the first row, battalion-level cadres will stand in the second row, company-level cadres will stand in the third row, and those below the platoon-level cadres will stand in the fourth row, give you one minute, start now.

Soon, the lively German cadres immediately became quiet, and the soldiers stood in four rows very neatly. According to their respective specialties and original positions, Liu Hua divided all the cadres into all regiments, companies, and battalions through the unified distribution of the corps commanders, and the phenomenon of the lack of cadres in the Seventh Army Corps was finally resolved, and now each regiment in the Seventh Army Corps has a regiment commander, a political commissar, a deputy regiment commander, a chief of staff, and a deputy political commissar. Each battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, deputy instructor, all cadres have deputy positions. Seeing the cadres of the Seventh Army Corps now, Liu Hua smiled, because he knew that in the future war of resistance, the expansion of the troops would be very fast, and now that there are so many cadres, there is no need to worry in the future.

After staying in Ganzi for a week, all of Zhang Guotao's plans to separate the Red Army were easily cracked by Mr. He and others, and in the end, Mr. He got the contact code with the Central Red Army. Finally, direct contact with the Central Red Army was made again. Soon, a telegram from the Central Committee once again brought together the Party Committee of the Red Second Front.

The meeting was convened under the auspices of the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff, who first read the telegram from the central authorities, which was very clear and demanded that the Red Second Front Army and the Red Fourth Front Army go north together and join forces with the Central Army in northern Shaanxi.

However, the participants all knew that Zhang Guotao at this time had the purpose of splitting the Red Army, and under such circumstances, it was unimaginable to ask him to go north with the Fourth Front Army.

The meeting made careful arrangements, and in the event of a last resort, the Second Front Army could go north on its own, but it had to bring with it soldiers and cadres that the Fourth Front Army could trust.

In the next two days, after the commander-in-chief, the chief of staff and others continued to secretly contact, under Zhang Guotao's nose, a large number of cadres and soldiers were secretly connected, the most important of which was Xu Xiangqian, the commander-in-chief, looking at the list, Liu Hua not only spoke, it seems that his arrival has changed history.

(The reason why it was able to succeed under Zhang Guotao's eyes was that after the Central Red Army went north, the Fourth Front Army carried out the Eastern Crusade under the command of Zhang Guotao, and the 80,000 horses of the Bass Army became less than 40,000 now, and it also included a lot of non-combatants, and the real combat strength was comparable to the current Second Front Army, and even in terms of weapons and equipment, it was not as good as the Second Front Army.) At this time, Zhang Guotao's influence in the Four Front Army was not as good as before. ）

A week later, on 7 July 1936, Zhang Guotao, under the pressure of the vast number of cadres, was forced to agree to go north, and under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng, the Red Second and Fourth Front Armies marched north across the grasslands, with the Fourth Front Army as the first echelon and the Second Front Army as the second echelon. Because Ganzi is located in an ethnic minority area. The supplies were not very sufficient, and coupled with the long-term gathering of the four front armies here, the heavy blockade of the Kuomintang army, and the poor Ganzi was even poorer.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops and horses of the two front armies can be said to be in short supply, but Liu Hua is not too worried, because since the Seventh Army was still a division, it began to buy a large number of bacon and other meat that can be stored, and now these meats are average to each person's can get a few catties of meat, plus the continuous purchase of barley and grain, the rations displayed by each member of the Seventh Army Corps are 10 days' ration, which is enough for these grains to pass through the grassland. The current political commissar, Director Li Qing's bulging grain bags, only then did he know how wise the regiment commander's decision-making was at that time, and everyone looked at the regiment commander with admiration or admiration.

On this day, the Seventh Army Corps and the entire Second and Fourth Front Army embarked on the journey north, riding on war horses, looking from afar, they could not play until the edge, and the smell of rotten turf was everywhere. At this time, five days have passed, and the remains of the sacrificed warriors have begun to appear on the grassland.

"It seems that the situation of the soldiers in front of you is not optimistic! Political commissar, let the cavalry company go to the front and have a look, and by the way, also go to the 26th Army of the Red Cotton Tree to have a look! Liu Hua rode on his horse and suggested to the political commissar next to him.

“

"Well, I agree, let's go!" The commissar immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon the cavalry company split into two and rushed to the front and back of the ranks.
