The main force of the Red Army, which annihilated the two main divisions of the Central Army, once again crossed Chishui, which really surprised the various national armies participating in the encirclement and suppression. In the face of the main force of the Red Army, which was preparing to enter southern Sichuan again, the national * army that had been drawn from all directions regrouped.

Although he got rid of the pursuit of Wu Qiwei of the Central Army, even this lieutenant general of the Central Army became a prisoner of the Red Army. Regarding this, He Zhengdao, who learned the news, also seemed very surprised.

If his memory is correct, although in the battle of the four crossings of Chishui, the Red Army also crippled the two central divisions led by Wu Qiwei. But in the end, the lieutenant general of the Central Army was lucky to escape being captured.

Now, that seems to have changed!

can think about the appearance of the independent group, He Zhengdao feels that this is normal. After all, his appearance, in a sense, has already changed the trajectory of this Long March Red Army. What will become of it in the end will take time to see.

Seeing that it was not early, He Zhengdao, who had been chatting with Mao Taizu for more than two hours, finally returned to the station of the independent regiment. With Mao Taizu's promise, He Zhengdao was not worried that the independent regiment would be dismantled.

For the officers and men of these independent regiments, when they did not return to the main force, they all looked forward to joining the main force as soon as possible. But when they really converged with the main force, they felt that some people looked at them very strangely.

He Zhengdao, who convened a meeting of the battalion and company commanders of the whole regiment, could also feel that the expressions of these battalion and company commanders were a little wrong. Even the faces of individual people looked very angry, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed.

In response to this situation, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "What? We finally succeeded in meeting with the main force, how can we not be happy. On the contrary, they seem to be in the middle of their minds? Can you tell me what the hell is going on? ”

In the face of He Zhengdao's inquiry, these can be said to be the battalion company commander who owes He Zhengdao a life, and he doesn't know where to start with his grievances. You can't tell He Zhengdao that some people suspect that they have betrayed and managed to survive until now, right?

Fortunately, Yao Shengjun, who was the political commissar, had already learned some information before, and said with a helpless expression: "Regiment commander, you should know that we are all from various main forces. Many people were mistakenly thought to have died in battle.

Now we are back alive, even though there are people who are glad that we are alive. But there are still people who wonder why we survived. You also know that it is easy to misunderstand people about being captured and coming back alive. ”

Listening to Yao Shengjun's words, He Zhengdao also slapped the table and shouted at the right time: "MD, who said you have a problem? Let me come and tell me! As for the report on your joining the Independent Regiment, I have asked the political commissar to submit it to the Central Committee.

If the leaders really felt that our independent regiment could not be trusted, would Commissar Mao and Mr. Zhu still meet us in person? For such people who have the heart of a villain, you should not deal with them at all. ”

Looking at He Zhengdao, who slapped the table and scolded his mother, several company commanders who listened to the gossip also felt very moved. It's just that they all know that this kind of thing is also relatively common in the Red Army. Being captured was a matter of great shame for many Red Army soldiers.

But the problem is that they were indeed captured by the national * army before they were rescued. If it weren't for He Zhengdao's rescue, they would probably have fallen under the guns of the Central Army Inspection Group at this time.

After scolding a few words, He Zhengdao continued: "Just because of this matter, do you feel that you can't stand the grievances? They are all seven-foot men, can a few gossips crush you? Then you guys let me down too!

The mouth grows on others, they can say whatever they like, just ignore them. Whether you are loyal or not, I and the political commissar have seen it, and the leaders also know it. Others, what do they do?

In addition, I will tell you one thing, the independent regiment will continue to retain its structure and will be directly under the jurisdiction of the column of the Central Military Commission. Before I received any other orders, you were all battalion commanders of my independent regiment, and I was a soldier of He Zhengdao, do you understand? ”

Hearing the news, the five battalion commanders got up at the right time and said, "Yes, regiment commander!" Got it! ”

'What about you?' Dumb! ’

'Yes, Captain, we know! ’

The company commanders who were yelled at also hurriedly got up and replied. Seeing these battalion and company commanders, his mood began to calm down, and He Zhengdao also knew that the morale and military spirit of the independent regiment must be maintained, and this morale could not be dispersed.

So he quickly said: "I have talked with several leaders and Commissar Mao before, and they have unanimously agreed that the independent regiment will continue to be retained and become a regiment-level unit of the Military Commission column, and the commanders of all battalions and companies will remain unchanged.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter which unit you're from, and whether you want to go back to your original unit or not. Until you get orders from your chief, you all need to obey my orders. The independent regiment is not allowed to be taken away casually.

If anyone thinks we are interested in our equipment and weapons, tell them. If you want people, if you want guns, let them ask the chief to give orders. No change was allowed in the Independent Regiment without an order from the chief.

Don't think that everything will be fine if you join the main force. You all know how many encirclement and suppression troops are waiting for us in front of us and behind. These weapons and people are where our confidence lies in defeating the enemy. ”

After saying this, the battalion and company commanders also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Independent Regiment was a newly formed unit, they got along with He Zhengdao during this time, and every officer could see that He Zhengdao's command ability was very strong.

Fighting with these regiment commanders, they also feel very relieved!

At this time, Yao Shengjun spoke again: "Regiment commander, what about the weapons we captured last time?" And those captives, what to do? With so many weapons and prisoners, I'm afraid it will also affect our marching speed! ”

Regarding Yao Shengjun's question, He Zhengdao quickly said: "The captured weapons and ammunition will be given priority to our battalions and companies. According to our previous rules, light machine guns were assigned to the squad level, and each company formed a platoon of heavy machine guns.

Secondly, the artillery battalion was temporarily dispersed to four main battalions, and a mortar platoon directly under each battalion was formed. As for Battalion Commander Zhu, he temporarily served as the commander of the artillery company directly under the regiment. The next time the mountain cannon is captured, it will be replenished for you first. ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

Although the artillery battalion was disbanded, Zhu also understood that an independent regiment with an artillery battalion was indeed too extravagant. Breaking up the artillery battalions and dividing them into the other four main battalions would also increase the combat effectiveness of each battalion.

As for him, the battalion commander, who was demoted to the company commander, Zhu Definition did not feel any disappointment. What's more, he believes in He Zhengdao's ability, and he, the battalion commander, will definitely be able to be mentioned again in the future.

As for the prisoners, the commissar took the time to get a look. If there is a suitable one, it will be added to our group first. The rest of the prisoners, who were still hesitating, were all handed over to the headquarters. Our main force is also in urgent need of reinforcements.

Compared to those captives, follow the main force in the future. The future task of our independent regiment should still be to be the main force or play the forward. After the meeting, the fighters were asked to rest and wait for orders from their superiors at any time. ’

According to Ho Zhengdao's prediction, if history has not changed much. Perhaps in a few days, the main force of the Red Army will cross the Chishui River again and advance towards Guiyang, where the forces are really empty.

The main force has not moved for the time being, and I still want to see where the troops of various encirclement and suppression have arrived. According to the enemy's arrangement, finding the most suitable route for the Red Army to break through is undoubtedly something that Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu urgently need to solve.

With the commanders of each battalion and company, bring back the content of the regimental headquarters meeting. Many Red Army soldiers also felt that it was indeed better to continue to stay in the independent regiment than to return to their old units.

For these Red Army soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, some of them could no longer find a home in the main forces. The reason is that the establishment of the unit they were in has been abolished. This means that they will not be able to return to their original units.

Since they were rescued by He Zhengdao and followed He Zhengdao all the way here, they still wanted to stay in the Independent Regiment. This force is where they see it as their home. And the news brought back by He Zhengdao undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

As for He Zhengdao, who ended the meeting, he returned to the telecommunications platoon of the Independent Regiment and asked Sun Shicheng, who had been listening to the telegrams of the Central Army, what kind of movements the Central Army was currently having. After all, the Central Army did not know that He Zhengdao had completely mastered their communication code.

Hearing He Zhengdao's inquiry, Sun Shicheng quickly handed over all the telegrams he had heard to He Zhengdao for a look. Seeing the Guiyang area, if there was a real emptiness in the army, he knew that the time was almost ripe to cross the Chishui four times.

With this telegram of the Central Army's troop mobilization that was monitored, He Zhengdao asked Sun Shicheng to pay attention to rest, and soon found Mao Taizu again to make a report. handed this troop mobilization map to Mao Taizu, who was a little surprised.

Knowing that He Zhengdao had a telecommunications interceptor like Sun Shicheng in his hands, Zhou Enlai was also very surprised. Based on He Zhengdao's telegram and the information he had gathered, Zhou Enlai believed that this telegram was still credible.

And Mao Taizu quickly said: "Righteous way, do you have any good suggestions for the next main battle plan?" ”

Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao was really taken aback. How dare he open his mouth at will about such a battle plan that will determine the fate of the Red Army? If you're not careful, you'll become a sinner for the ages!
