The Red Army on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River jumped out of the encirclement of the Sichuan Army at night, and also jumped out of the fourth blockade line of Commander Chiang, and now as long as they break through the blockade line of Yunnan and Guizhou again, the Red Army can be regarded as having escaped death.

And Qunan and Guizhou were not the key defensive places of the Nationalist Army, so it was much easier for the Red Army to break through the defensive lines of these two places than the previous Nationalist defensive lines.

What's more, they have just received tens of thousands of guns from Huaxing Company and a large amount of grain and grass supplies. It can be said that the current Red Army is now highly motivated, and even if it encounters the main force of the National Army again, it can still shake the Central Army.

When Commander Chiang, who was far away in Nanjing, heard that the Red Army had escaped on the north bank of the Xiang River, which was heavily encircled, he was so angry that he smashed everything he could see on the desk in his office. Dai Li, along with a group of generals in the army, watched Commander Jiang be furious, and they didn't even dare to gasp.

"It's a failure! How did Liu Xiang do it? Didn't you send a telegram a few days ago saying that the Red Army was blocked? Why did he send a telegram early this morning saying that most of the Red Army had disappeared except for a few who had been annihilated?

On the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, there are either mountains or rivers, and they can still fly to the sky? I don't understand, why can so many armies still let them run away? Commander Jiang asked the generals in front of him.

The generals in front of them were also puzzled, they also had inside lines in the Sichuan army, but most of those inside lines were in the ranks of the small local warlords of the Sichuan army, and there were not many around Liu Xiang.

They could only report the information they knew to Commander Chiang: "Report to the principal, the inside line we hid around Liu Xiang only said that the night of the Red Army's escape.

Their Hunan army had an unusual military movement, and many troops guarding various mountain passes were temporarily transferred to the left and right ends of the mountain passes to be deployed.

The next day, they were ordered to return to their original station, and that night the weather was dry, and they found many traces of the army that had just marched.

It's just that as soon as they returned to the garrison, they received another order to attack the Red Army, and everyone rushed to attack the Red Army garrison. Naturally, these traces can no longer be seen.

What is even more strange is that when their artillery bombarded the Red Army garrison and completely occupied the entire Red Army camp, they did not find any corpses in the Red Army garrison, only some new graves that had been blown up, and some heavy equipment that was not easy to march.

However, looking at the mountains and forests on both sides, there was no sign of the army entering, so our people suspected that Liu Xiang might take advantage of the night to divert the Sichuan army on the road to the north, and then deliberately let the Red Army go north.

Then the illusion of an attack on the Red Army, which fled from the mountains overnight. A general who apparently graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy said.

"Is there any hard evidence?" Commander Jiang calmed the anger in his heart a little, after several months of hard fighting, he saw that he was about to completely annihilate the Central Red Army, but when he was about to complete the success, he made a mistake again, and Commander Jiang really had the heart to kill Liu Xiang.

"There is no direct evidence, these are just speculations. Because this is the only possible explanation for why the Red Army disappeared for no reason. The general said.

Commander Jiang shook his head: "Liu Xiang is also a strong party, and without direct evidence, we can't impose blame."

Although the Red Army has broken through the fourth line of defense, we still have the fifth and sixth lines of defense, and I only want to know how to remedy it, how to catch the Red Army's whereabouts as quickly as possible.

We still have hundreds of thousands of troops near the Xiangjiang River, and no matter where the Red Army is hiding, they will have to reappear in our sight sooner or later.

Moreover, the leaders of the Red Army this time were stupid, although they crossed the Xiangjiang River, but their next step must be to march to Xiangxi, and I have always been worried about Liu Xiang.

So I had already arranged heavy troops in Xiangxi, just because I was afraid that if Liu Xiang did not stop the Red Army, when they were both defeated, they would annex Liu Xiang's troops in one fell swoop.

However, as long as the Red Army is still on the border of Hunan, they will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand, and I believe that our army will soon find their traces, and tens of thousands of troops will be hiding in the mountains, and it is not a long-term solution, and they will have to jump out sooner or later.

We will surround the Red Army again while they are again in sight, but I do not want anything like this to happen that is beyond my control. Our intelligence work is not in place. ”

Commander Chiang was very dissatisfied with his inability to fully grasp the movements of the Sichuan army, and he was also angry that his spy personnel did not completely penetrate the Sichuan army's system.

Dai Li, who was in charge of military intelligence work, saw that Commander Jiang was looking at him fiercely, and immediately stepped forward to take the initiative to take the mistake: "The principal's anger is all the fault of the lowly position, and it is the lowly investigation department that acted unfavorably and did not detect the movements of the Sichuan army in advance, so please punish the principal."

"Yu Nong, how can I blame you alone for this matter, it is also because we did not pay attention to the intelligence and information work of these local warlords that led to today's defeat.

In the past, we only planted agents around warlords above the military level, and ignored the monitoring of battalion and regimental troops.

In this case, I have the right to upgrade your Military Survey and Statistics Section to the Military Intelligence and Statistics Bureau. At the same time, Xu Enzeng's Central Statistical Survey Section was upgraded to the Central Bureau of Statistics. I want the two of you to work together.

From now on, all cities and towns above the county level in China will be manned by political workers from the Central Bureau of Statistics. All units above the battalion level in China must be supervised by a special intelligence group of your Military Command Bureau.

Even those armies that are not under the management of our central government, you have to arrange for people from the Military Command Bureau to enter me. I don't limit the staffing, as long as you are a useful person, you can develop as much as you want, and you can directly find Chen Lifu for the funds, and Chen Guofu will receive them.

We must know the latest movements of all those who support us and those who oppose us throughout the country, and from now on you will be the first director of the Military Command Bureau, and you will be given the rank of major general. ”

"Thank you, Principal, for cultivating. The humble duty must be done to the fullest, and then it is just after death. Dai Li finally looked forward to his promotion. Now he has finally entered the ranks of generals. It's just that his old opponent Xu Enzeng was also promoted all of a sudden, which made Dai Li very indignant.

Commander Chiang's efforts to make amends were not very effective, because just after the Battle of Xiangjiang, that is, at the end of the third or fourth year, Zhu Weiren and Zhou Weiren of the Military Council had already taken joint action to empty the military command of Bogu and Li De.

And in the middle of January of the 35th year, a meeting was held in Zunyi, and finally a new military leader was established with Zhu Weiren, Zhou Weiren and Mao Weiren as the main ones, and at the meeting, it was decided to use the marching route provided by Li Tie to avoid the national army in Xiangxi. Go to Guizhou, where the national army is weak. This greatly surprised Commander Chiang's expectations.

How did he know that this was Li Tie once again sabotaged his plan, and it was Li Tie who sent the marching route of his previous life to the Red Army in advance, which made the Red Army take a lot of detours, and the losses suffered by the Red Army were naturally minimized.

Immediately after the Zunyi Conference, the Red Army embarked on the journey to the north again, and on a narrow marching road, Mao Weiren, who was once again used with a wooden stick, joked to Zhou Weiren:

"I now admire more and more the skill of this angel, and the route he pointed out, although it looks very dangerous, is in line with the military doctrine of death and rebirth.

If it had been before, our soldiers would have lacked clothing and clothing, and there would have been a shortage of food and grass, which would indeed have caused great casualties to our troops.

However, with the targeted supplies he has laid in various places, and with the incomparably strong will of our Red Army soldiers, we will certainly be able to completely break out of the encirclement of the Nationalist Army and finally reach northern Shaanxi to establish our new revolutionary base areas. ”

"Yes, I also believe that after this long journey, all the Red Army soldiers who can survive will be turned into steel and iron bones, and become a real iron army that cannot be defeated or dragged down." Zhou Weiren said.

"Also, who is this angel? Although only you and Kenong know his true identity so far, I can see from the conversation between Mr. Zhu and Minister Chen that they also know. Mao Weiren suddenly became interested in the identity of angels.

"Haha, don't expect me to tell you, I swore by the party's spirit, don't expect me to betray my comrades." Zhou Weiren said.

"Hehe, Comrade Zhou, you are too cunning, why don't we make a bet? If I guess correctly, you will give me your box of Chinese cigarettes from Huaxing.

If I guess wrong, how about I give you my big front door of Huaxing products? ”

Seeing that Zhou Weiren didn't say a word, he seemed to agree. Mao Weiren's interest came immediately, he took Zhou Weiren's hand and came to the side of the road to stop, and whispered to him:

"Actually, you have wanted to tell us the identity of the angel for a long time, but you are afraid that others will know about it, and you will be embarrassed to see people in the future, right?

At that time, after these times of comrade angel's help to our party, many of us guessed the true identity of the angel, but everyone was maintaining a tacit understanding, and no one was the first to say it.

In today's China, who else can there be, who has a long history with our party, and who can selflessly help us repeatedly.

And only this person has the power to help us. "Mao Weiren is already wise and almost demonic, if he wants to guess the identity of the angel, it shouldn't be difficult.

But Zhou Weiren wanted to see the real chapter with Mao Weiren today, and he didn't show his mouth when he was alive or dead, and finally Mao Weiren was helpless, so he wrote the word "Li Tie" on the ground with the wooden stick in his hand, so that Zhou Weiren could see if he guessed right.

Zhou Weiren looked at the two words written by Mao Weiren, shook his head, frowned and did not speak.

"What? Guessed wrong? That can't be, right? So who do you say? Let me lose and understand. Mao Weiren didn't expect that he guessed wrong, which made him very uncomfortable, so he wanted to know the true identity of the angel even more.

Seeing that Zhou Weiren was leaving, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Weiren: "Forget it, I'm afraid of you, my big front door is for you." That's okay, right? ”

Seeing that Zhou Weiren was unmoved, Mao Weiren was also anxious: "Otherwise, I will give you all the cigarettes this month, this will be fine, right?"

And I also swear in the spirit of the party that I will never mention the true identity of the angel to a third person other than you and me, which is all right? ”

Hearing this condition, Zhou Weiren finally smiled, but he stretched out two fingers. Mao Weiren took a look: "Comrade Zhou, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob, you just got the supplies buried by the angels, and I have only been assigned a total of ten big front doors, which are not enough for me to smoke for two months, can you bear to take them all?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Weiren was about to leave again, Mao Weiren was really anxious: "Forget it, if you are careless in making friends, I will lose to you, as the so-called Chaowen Dao is dead, I will give you all the cigarettes for two months."

Seeing that Mao Weiren finally came up with a price that he was satisfied with, Zhou Weiren came to the ground again in front of the two words Li Tie, took Mao Weiren's wooden root and ticked the two words "Li Tie". Then he returned the stick to the great man, as if the conspiracy had succeeded.

Watching Zhou Weiren walk away, Mao Weiren, who understood that he had let Zhou Weiren calculate, shouted loudly: "Even if I guessed correctly at the beginning, then why are you shaking your head?" ”

I only heard Zhou Weiren walking in a hurry, and replied loudly to Mao Weiren: "I didn't sleep well last night, and my neck was a little stiff." ”

Hearing Zhou Weiren's shameless answer, Mao Weiren shouted loudly: "Don't be complacent, your wife Xiao Dengzi asked me to supervise you to quit smoking, and I will go to your house tonight to report you." ”

As soon as Mao Weiren's voice fell, he saw Zhou Weiren in the distance stumbling and almost didn't fall.
