Chapter 48: Gift-giving

"Commander of the corps, President He has called and asked us to rush back to Sangzhi to convene a meeting of the Second Front Army of the Red Army," political commissar Guan Xiangying hurriedly walked into the headquarters with a telegram.

"Well, inform Director Li and the division commander to come to the meeting." Liu Hua looked at the telegram handed over by the political commissar.

Soon, several main leaders of the Red Seventh Army came to the command headquarters, and Liu Hua saw that all the people had arrived and walked to their positions.

"Comrades, in the past few days, the political commissar and I are going to Sangzhi for a meeting, all the affairs of the Red Seventh Army are managed by Director Li Qing, and this time, we have captured a lot of soldiers of the Hubei army, we must do a good job of capturing them, let them participate in our team as much as possible, and when I come back from the meeting, I will ask the three main divisions to reach the full strength of 5,000 people, and the new regiment will also be replenished, comrades have no confidence."

"Yes," several division commanders stood up and said neatly.

"Well, okay, I'll say so much today, and the rest of the specific tasks will be arranged by the political commissar." After saying that, he sat down

Soon, the legion meeting was over, Liu Hua, Guan Xiangying, and Li Qing stayed.

"Political Commissar, Director Li, I estimate that the main purpose of this meeting should be to target the enemy's winter encirclement and suppression of us, I estimate that this time we have another big battle, so, Director Li, during this time, we must seize the time to train the troops, do a good job of material reserves, don't we have a lot of enemy garrisons and county towns nearby? You will send a regiment from each division to take turns to train the troops, and get me more supplies and ammunition to come back, although General He's side also won the battle this time, but I estimate that there are not so many captures, I plan to hand over most of the captured ammunition and materials, and our supplies will have to rely on ourselves. Political Commissar, Director Li, what do you think? After speaking, Liu Hua looked at his two old partners.

"Commander, I agree, it's just that we are numerous" The political commissar looked at Liu Hua. Director Li Qing also looked at Liu Hua and nodded, agreeing with the political commissar's point of view.

"Okay, let me talk about my data first: we left all the mortars, each regiment strengthened an artillery platoon with 4 mortars, 36 heavy machine guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 5,000 rifles, 150 light machine guns, 6 million rounds of ammunition, 12 mountain artillery, we left a mountain artillery company to be equipped, 5,000 mortar shells, 5,000 mountain artillery shells, 500,000 catties of grain, what do you think."

The two thought for a moment and nodded, "I'm bringing 50 machine guns and 40,000 grenades," the commissar continued.

Soon, several people all came to an agreement.

Early the next morning, Liu Hua took all the supplies and the guard battalion to Sangzhi, because of the need to protect the baggage along the way, several people did not run wildly on horseback, but kept following the baggage troops to Sangzhi slowly. After a day's march, the troops rushed to Yujiaping for rest, and the next day Liu Hua and the political commissar continued to rush with their baggage, and until noon, they saw a group of people riding horses running towards this side.

Liu Hua saw from a distance that the person in front of him was Mr. He, and when he saw Mr. He once again leading several army leaders to greet him, he immediately dismounted and walked towards Mr. He.

"The commander-in-chief, the political commissar, and the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, Liu Hua, came to report." Liu Hua said with a standard salute.

"Well, Liu Hua, good job, another big victory, it is really the pride of our Red Army's Second Front Army, and there is progress." Mr. He was the first to say.

"Liu Hua, that's good, I hope you keep up your efforts." Political Commissar Ren also walked over and patted Liu Hua on the shoulder.

After speaking, Liu Hua He Xiaoke, Wang Zhen and others met separately, and a group of people walked towards Sang Zhi with a smile.

Soon, all the people came to the conference room of the headquarters, first of all, Xiao Ke began to report the battle summary of the previous period on behalf of the 26th Army Corps, Liu Hua couldn't help but be surprised after hearing it, the two army corps were less than 20,000 people, and the enemy was destroyed to 12,000 people, but their own casualties were also very large, but with the addition of the prisoners you were willing to participate in the Red Army, the number of the two army corps reached 20,000. After listening to Captain Xiaoke's report, Liu Hua couldn't help but nod his head.

Soon it was the turn of the Seventh Army Corps to report, the political commissar took out the prepared data and began to report, listening to the General He and Ren Political Commissar nodded uncontrollably, and finally, the political commissar took out the list of materials handed over to the headquarters, and immediately made several corps commanders stand up happily, you know, although the Second and Sixth Army Corps also captured, but after all, there were very few captures, and many weapons were damaged during hand-to-hand combat. So seeing the items on the list doesn't excite them?

Mr. He immediately came to his senses, looked at the materials on the list and stood up, "Comrades, since we have so many supplies now, let's also be relieved, pass on the command command, all the weapons of the main force will be unified, the ammunition will bring 100 rounds of ammunition and 4 grenades, one light machine gun per squad, 500 rounds of ammunition, and 50 mortar shells per gun, as for the 12 mountain guns to form two mountain artillery companies, each with 50 rounds of ammunition, all the remaining ammunition is reserved, and all the food is also reserved, Maybe the struggle will be even more brutal later, so we must leave the back hand. ”

The few legion commanders below immediately burst into laughter when they heard this. I've been leading troops for so long, and I've never been so arrogant. And Mr. He, who was sitting in the first place, was also very happy, even according to his own requirements, there would be 5 million rounds of ammunition left in his headquarters, and there were basically more than 4,000 rounds of artillery shells left, with so many reserves, he would no longer be afraid of the enemy's blockade in the future!

Mr. He is really happy to see Liu Hua now, you know, Liu Hua, this kid has come a few times, and he has given a few gifts to the front army, looking at Mr. He's eyes looking at him, Liu Hua suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Oh, Liu Hua, thank you for your great gift, you have solved the great favor of our front army this time, we don't have to be afraid of the enemy's encirclement and suppression for a long time, the so-called Lyle is not rude, hehe, Ren Political Commissar, should we give this kid a salute in return!" After speaking, he looked at the political commissar with a smile.

I saw that the political commissar Ren looked at Mr. He's mysterious smile and nodded immediately, and also laughed, "Yes, what Mr. He said is right, you must return the gift, you must." ”

At this time, the people in the entire meeting looked at the two people in front of the table with a puzzled expression, and Liu Hua was no exception, I don't know what the two leaders were fighting.

"Liu Hua, I remember what you said in Qiaoling's room last time you left, that is, since you came back today, what you said last time is not counted!" Mr. He looked at himself with a smile.

At this time, everyone in the conference room seemed to suddenly realize and smiled, Liu Hua, after listening to Mr. He's words, his face immediately turned red.
