Although the first Spring Festival Gala in the Northwest Soviet Region was held in a very simple manner, and both the stage and the performances were shoddy, it was already very remarkable in the eyes of the military and people of the Northwest Soviet Region. After so many years, it is the first time to feel such a festive and lively atmosphere, especially the many revolutionary songs and military songs that appeared in the program, which made the workers, peasants and Red Army at this time love it, and they all said that they must learn it.

Later, when people learned from the art troupe that most of the songs and programs in the Spring Festival Gala were compiled by Li Keji, Li Keji had to confirm the title of famous songwriter.

If it had been before, Li Keji would have been very ashamed, this kind of plagiarism of other people's works always embarrassed him, especially when others praised him in person, it was more like slapping him in the face.

Now that he has developed his cheek, he is no longer ashamed of it, but in order to avoid showing his face, he has always tried not to be brought up on this topic, and even made up a lot of knowledge about music in order to cope with the troubles he may encounter. Although he is not proficient, he can barely sing with a score, so that his eyes are black and he doesn't know anything.

Due to the rush to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala, the soldiers and civilians could not stay outside for too long, and the first Spring Festival Gala was not long, only a short two hours, and there was no performance until the final countdown to welcome the New Year as in later generations.

After the performance, Li Keji was called over by the host to have supper together, but what he didn't expect was that Xia Xiangning was also invited, which made him feel a little embarrassed for a while.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Li Shengshi couldn't help laughing, but he didn't make fun of him, but after arranging the seat, he asked Li Keji and said, "Xiao Li, it's been a few months since you came to the northwest, are you particularly homesick, especially now." ”

"How can I miss home when I am a wanderer, but I still prefer such a fulfilling day in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army than staying at home and doing nothing." Li Keji naturally knew what the main seat wanted to ask, although there was an extra Xia Xiangning next to him, he was not afraid of exposing anything, and frankly said his thoughts.

"Yes, how can I not be homesick when I am a wanderer, I haven't been back to my hometown for many years, not only me, but the vast majority of the workers and peasants in the Red Army have never returned to their hometown since the day they joined the revolution, and many of them have been separated from their wives. Even so, the comrades still adhered to the ideals of the revolution and sacrificed everything for the sake of the revolution. Xiao Li, I am very grateful for everything you have brought to the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and I am even happier that you are a qualified revolutionary fighter. ”

After sighing, Li Shengshi ordered Li Keji and Xia Xiangning to eat, compared to the lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner just now, it is now more like a family dinner, plus Li Keji and Xia Xiangning are only four people.

During the dinner, compared with Li Keji's slight embarrassment, Xia Xiangning was even more ashamed, and she didn't take the initiative to speak throughout the whole process.

After eating the family banquet at the main banquet, Li Keji sent Xia Xiangning to the dormitory of the Military and Political University, although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he and Xia Xiangning were tied, and if he left her alone, he would definitely not lose much of a good reputation.

Chinese New Year's Eve is followed by the Spring Festival, a new year and a new atmosphere, the common people are still immersed in the joy of the New Year, but the workers, peasants and Red Army have to start busy, before the revolution is successful, it is already a blessing in the blessing to be able to steal a day of leisure.

After the New Year, the Military and Political University also underwent new changes, not only did the first batch of graduates of the crash course be assigned to various units to preside over the work, and another group of cadets who came to study were replaced, and even the president Cheng Zhigeng was transferred to the commander of the first division, and the new president of the Military and Political University was appointed by Mu Sanhu, who had just arrived.

Mu Sanhu, nicknamed Tiger, ranked third in the family, was once a student of the fourth phase of Huangpu, the commander of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and one of the ten marshals of the future Republic.

Different from Cheng Zhigeng's humor, Mu Sanhu usually speaks little, unless there is something, it is rare to see him chatting normally. Li Keji tried several times, but in the end he ended up with no problem, he simply didn't want to know how to contact feelings, but had something to say, as an ordinary comrade, he really didn't expect that someone would be more difficult to contact than otaku.

The normal communication is not smooth, but Mu Sanhu is very serious in work and study, and he will consult Li Keji when he doesn't understand something, but he is very talkative when he consults, not only the regulations are clear, but Li Keji's thinking in many places has opened his eyes, and he has to make up all kinds of knowledge in order to deal with him.

Although his daily work is very busy, Li Keji, who can often be seen at the top level of the central government, is also very familiar with information from the outside world. Not long ago, the 24th Army of Liu Wenhui's Sichuan Army was afraid that the Fourth Front Army would occupy Xikang and would not leave, so he led the army to drive the Fourth Front Army back to Sichuan.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Front Army not only received material replenishment, but also changed all weapons and equipment to the 56 series, but in the first battle, the 136th Division under the jurisdiction of the 24th Army was completely wiped out, and the 137th and 138th Divisions lost most of them.

The battle was led by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhao Wu, and the commander of the Fourth Army, Xu Xiangqian, personally commanded the 24th Army, which simply and neatly defeated the 24th Army, which greatly boosted the morale of the Fourth Front Army for a while.

Originally, the Fourth Front Army was preparing to survive the winter and then return north, but at this time, it heard that the Second Front Army, which had withdrawn from the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Revolutionary Base Area in November last year, had arrived in the western Guizhou region and was preparing to wait for an opportunity to go north to join the Central Red Army. The Central Committee immediately ordered the four front armies to stand by and prepare for the arrival of the two fronts, and then march north together after the two armies meet.

At the same time, the Northwest Soviet Region had to face the first counter-encirclement and suppression after a lapse of several months. Although the outcome of the Battle of Five Banners shocked the surrounding warlords, the People's Party's ambition to destroy the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army never diminished.

In order to eliminate the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Chang Kaishen not only mobilized his First Army, Third Army, and 37th Army, but also transferred the 100th, 35th, and 5th Divisions of the Northwest Three Horses, and the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe's Division, and other troops, and violently pressed the Northwest Soviet Region, which had just been established.

In the face of the menacing BJP army, if it had passed, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would have been nervous, and although it was not necessarily afraid, all kinds of worries could not be avoided. However, now that they have been equipped with new equipment, the ammunition is very sufficient, and after there are no worries, all the commanders and fighters are extremely relaxed.

Chairman Li Shengshi even smiled and said to everyone: "Our Chairman Chang Kaishen Chang Xi is really so immoral, just after the New Year, the snow has not yet melted, why did he rush to the Soviet area with great momentum." It's really unbearable to have a New Year's holiday. ”

With the beginning of the main banquet, Mr. Zhu Weizhu also smiled and said: "The main banquet, on a festive day like the New Year, how can you do it without making a noise, Principal Chang came well this time, and directly saved the cost of firecrackers for our workers, peasants and Red Army." ”

"The chief chair and the boss can rest assured, although Principal Chang is menacing, we will let him come and go. It's not the New Year, so I'm embarrassed as a student if I don't give some gifts to Principal Chang. Cheng Zhigeng, who was next to the two, said with a smile.

Jokes aside, in the face of the People's Party's army, the Party Central Committee did not dare to relax its carelessness at all, and now the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has just had a little possessions, and it has been wiped out at one time, and there is no place to replenish it if it wants to.

On the issue of materials, there is Li Keji's help without any problems, and one of the keys is the source of soldiers.

The Northwest Frontier has always been barren and sparsely populated compared to other places, and although the Datong Party occupies the territory of the 12 nearby counties, it does not actually control much of the population.

When they arrived at Wuqi Town, the Central Red Army had only more than 6,000 men at full capacity, and 1,500 officers and soldiers had been recruited in the Battle of Wuqi Town, and then they joined up with the 15th Army Corps to get another 8,000 troops.

In order to expand the number of troops, over the course of several months, the political work cadres of the Datong Party went deep into every household and almost wiped out all the young and middle-aged people in the base areas through revolutionary propaganda, ideological education, good military salaries, and generous treatment of military dependents.

In addition, the singing of "On the Songhua River" also allowed the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to absorb many officers and soldiers from the Northeast, and established the new 5th Division after breaking up with the previously incorporated Northeast officers and soldiers.

After the reorganization, the Central Red Army at this time already had more than 30,000 combat troops, which did not include the militia county brigades, and the duties of the county brigades in various localities were only to maintain law and order.

Although the county brigade was only a militia, it was equipped with all 56 semi-automatic rifles, and the establishment of each brigade was equivalent to the strength of a battalion, and its combat effectiveness far exceeded that of most warlord troops of the same period.

Compared with the county brigades, the combat units are equivalent to the field war army of later generations, and the light machine guns and grenade launchers are all deployed to the squad level, and the firepower is almost suppressed by most countries in the world, and the domestic warlords cannot be compared.

In addition, whether it is the heavy machine gun, mortar, and rocket launcher in the company-level support fire, the Type 89 anti-aircraft gun and the 107 rocket launcher at the regimental level, they are almost armed to the teeth.

With such powerful firepower, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army naturally did not fear the surging People's Party troops at all, and they all wanted to let the People's Party troops feel the taste of being pressed and beaten by others.

After knowing the trend of history, the Party Central Committee actually did not want to continue the civil war, and the original slogan of "resisting Japan and abnormality" was changed to "forcing the normal to resist Japan" long ago, but Chang Kaishen was far away in Jiangnan, and a little coercion in public opinion had little effect on him.

As early as when Chang Kaishen was preparing to raise troops to encircle and suppress the northwestern Soviet region, the intelligence department of the Datong Party had already overheard all kinds of telegrams from the People's Party, and the one who overheard these messages was Shen Chuan, who had established the first radio station of the Datong Party.
