Chapter 305: The North Bank of the Xiang River
On the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, in a valley where the headquarters of the Red Army's military command post is located, Liu Hailong, who has once again been demoted from the commander of the guard regiment to the commander of the guard battalion, is secretly weeping while drinking porridge water with only a dozen grains of rice.
"What kind of battle is this? Even he, the battalion commander, could see that the battle was not right, so why did the leaders of the Military Commission still listen to the words of those officials and masters sent by the Soviet Union, just because they were sent by the Comintern? Is it because they have studied and drunk foreign ink?
Pity the soldiers of the guard regiment of my regiment, all veterans of a hundred battles, in order to cover the leaders of the central government, the troops of the Red Army's Commander Lin and Commander Peng were completely lost to block the pursuit of all sides.
And his guard regiment, in order to support the front-line combat units with serious attrition, has been drawn from a regiment to a battalion.
And just now more than 200 of them were evacuated, one company to serve as the pioneer, and the other company to support the rearguard army that was blocking the enemy in the rear.
Seeing that the elite soldiers of the hundred battles brought out by himself were taken away one by one and never came back, Battalion Commander Liu Hailong's heart was very painful.
What a good soldier, no food, no clothing, no guns, no ammunition, and at the last moment with sharpened wooden sticks, he was also charging at the enemy, and Liu Hailong couldn't remember how much stubble the guards around him had changed.
The only thing that didn't change was the wooden box that Minister Li gave him for protection, and the soldiers of a squad. When the whole regiment broke through from the Soviet zone, a squad of soldiers was sent to protect the box.
I remember asking Minister Li at that time. What if I lose this box? Minister Li said very, very solemnly at that time:
"You can lose yourself, you can lose the entire guard battalion, or even lose him Minister Li, but this box cannot be lost."
Moreover, no one except Minister Li and Zhou Weiren was allowed to open or destroy this box without the orders of the two of them.
Anyone who violated these two prohibitions could be beheaded by any soldier, as he said in front of all the soldiers of this guard squad.
Liu Hailong is now sitting on this box and secretly feeling sad, if he continues like this, he will soon be demoted from battalion commander to company commander. No, according to the soldiers and horses under management, he is now the commander of the guard company.
"Ugh." Just when Liu Hailong was still sighing, Li Kenong and Zhou Weiren came to Liu Hailong's side with solemn faces. Liu Hailong immediately jumped off the box when he saw it, hoping that sitting on the box would not be regarded as breaking the rules of the box.
And Minister Li and Zhou Weiren didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, only to see Li Kenong solemnly suggest to Zhou Weiren again:
"Commander Zhou, do you really want to send a report? We are in a situation where there is no other way but to fight hard, even if we send a report to the angel, he is far away in Shanghai, and we have Liu Xiang's army of 50,000 in front of us.
There are Xiangjiang and Xiaoshui blocking on the left and right, and there are more than 100,000 pursuers behind him, even if he knows our situation, he can't do anything.
And he is thousands of miles away, even if I use the longevity lock, he desperately sends people to rescue, but it is far from quenching his thirst? ”
"I know all these things you said, now that the Military Commission has reached an agreement, we will no longer listen to the command of Bogu and Li De, as long as we rush through this defense line, we will reach Zunyi, and we are ready to hold a whole army and all-party meeting in Zunyi, and then we will naturally re-elect the most suitable leader to lead everyone out of the enemy's encirclement.
We will defeat the enemy by our own means, but we are now almost out of ammunition and food, and Liu Xiang's 50,000 army on the opposite side is waiting for work, even if we try our best, we may not be able to rush through.
Now nearly 500,000 troops are coming around us. If we can't break through Liu Xiang's defense line in a short time, our party will really have to be wiped out by the national army.
I just wanted to give it a try, anyway, if the angel saves us, the third request for this longevity lock runs out. If it didn't work, we all went to see Marx, and it was a pity that we didn't need to keep the long-life lock, we are a revolutionary team, even if there is only one in ten thousand hopes, we have to give it a try.
So you send it, at this time, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of God. Zhou Weiren also replied solemnly.
Li Kenong had no choice but to let Liu Hailong carry the box in front of him. Liu Hailong didn't expect the box he kept to be so important, but fortunately, he had been listening to Li Kenong's explanation, and along the way, he almost slept with this box in his hand.
Liu Hailong handed the box to Li Kenong, who took out a precious radio station from the box, and then took out a codebook from his arms.
Then, he asked Liu Hailong and the rest of the fighters to retreat ten meters away. Only Zhou Weiren was standing beside him.
Li Kenong discussed the content of the telegram with Zhou Weiren in a low voice, and then began to send it to Li Tie word by word according to the provisions in the codebook.
At this time, in the Golden Tiger Club, Li Tie was changing the diaper of his second daughter, who had just been born for half a year, while changing the diaper with his unfamiliar hands.
While shouting at the thousand-tailed scorpion and Xu Meiqi: "Come on, child's mother, does it take so long for you to change your clothes?" I don't understand this kid's diaper. You come out and change your child's diaper first.
Xu Meiqi, who had just been urinated on by her second daughter, changed into clean clothes and walked out of the back room.
As soon as she came out, she gave Li Tie a blank look.
This Li Tie understands everything, but he doesn't know anything about the trivial things of life. It would be nice if he knew how to do business and could serve children.
Poor Li Tie must not know Xu Meiqi's thoughts, otherwise, no matter how good his temper is, he will teach Xu Meiqi a lesson, he is not a god, he can really do anything.
Just when Li Tie finally took a breath and was able to sit down to rest, the thousand-tailed scorpion suddenly sent a telegram to Li Tie with a red cover.
Li Tie looked at the five-pointed star logo on the cover, and he knew that it was an urgent telegram from the radio station he sent to Li Kenong.
Li Tie knew that the matter was important, so he immediately walked into the back room, took out a book from the safe, and translated it word by word.
When Li Tie translated the entire telegram, he was taken aback, and the decisive battle of the Xiangjiang River, which he thought would take place in a few months, had actually started ahead of schedule.
Moreover, Liu Xiang, who would not participate in the war until a few months later, also arrived at the Xiangjiang battlefield ahead of schedule. Moreover, it happened to block the Red Army on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, which did not happen at all in the original history.
It's bad, there are too many things that won't change, and this history has deviated more and more from the original historical track. But when you think about it, it's also.
He is the richest man in the world, the 19th Route Army was also saved by him, Ma Zhanshan has also become the king of the Northeast, and Wang Yaqiao has now become his worker.
Something else can't happen. Fortunately, the great form of history has not changed, but it has been slightly advanced.
Li Tie immediately took out a letter in front of the table, wrote a pair of words, put it in an envelope, and then he called Tie Dan and told him in person.
Tie Dan heard it so earnestly, he immediately put away the letter, left the Golden Tiger Club, took ten special combat team members, went straight to Huaxing Airport, got on Li Tie's Huaxing special plane, and flew towards Chongqing.
At this time, Liu Xiang, who was confronting the Red Army on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, was leading a group of generals to observe the Red Army camp in the distance.
"Commander Liu, the Red Army on the opposite side has long run out of ammunition and food, and we have enough soldiers and food, and we are waiting for work, why don't we just attack them directly?" A division commander beside him asked.
"Do you know who the commander of the Red First Army is on the other side? They are Commander Lin and Commander Nie, the top students of the Huangpu Military Academy back then, and they are the victorious generals who have experienced a hundred battles and are invincible.
With only tens of thousands of remnants, they were able to break through the encirclement and interception of Commander Chiang's hundreds of thousands of troops to reach here, how strong do you say their combat effectiveness is?
As for why not attack? Why should I attack? Wounded beasts are the most dangerous. All I have to do is block the road, and as soon as the Nationalist army next to me comes, I will hand over the position to the Nationalist army.
Haha, after all, Commander Chiang said that as long as I can wait for the arrival of the Nationalist Army, it will be a great achievement, and I will not sacrifice my brother and give him Commander Chiang's life.
But I don't mind biting them again when the Red Nation is at its weakest, so let them fight the ghosts first. When they are both defeated, we will reap the benefits of the fishing urn. Liu Xiang smiled and explained to his generals.
Now that his 50,000-strong army has blocked the Red Army's way, he is not worried that the Red Army will break through from his front. That's about the same as looking for death.
It would be better for the Red Army to cross the river again and flee along both sides of the river again, which would be much better than to attack him head-on.
You must know that the 50,000 Sichuan troops he brought are all his descendants, and they are also the most capable troops in Sichuan, so it can be said that in the land of China, except for the 19th Route Army and the Japanese army, he is not afraid of the Red Army.
"High, really high." Just when all the generals were patting Liu Xiang's sycophants and praising him for his old scheming, a signal soldier hurriedly came over, saying that there was a friend from the headquarters who came to see him.
Liu Xiang still wondered what kind of person had such a big shelf? Even let him go to the headquarters to meet? Then I saw that this signal soldier came to Liu Xiang's side and handed him a letter, he opened it, his face changed greatly, Liu Xiang immediately left the generals and rushed back to the headquarters.
As soon as Liu Xiang entered the headquarters, he saw Tie Dan drinking tea in the hall, Tie Dan and Liu Xiang have also been friends for many years, and the two of them are not polite and go straight to the point.
Liu Xiang took out the letter and handed it to Tie Dan, only to see that there were four big characters written on it.
Looking at these four big characters in a daze, Liu Xiang's face changed again, and he seemed to have returned to ten years ago, and the scene ten years ago flashed in front of him.
Back then, he had such a conversation with Li Tie in Shanghai Huaxing Foreign Bank, as long as he saw these four words, "why hurry", he must immediately give up his current killing thoughts, otherwise he will not live to be fifty years old.
And this year he is forty-six years old. In other words, if he doesn't do what Li Tie said, he won't live for five years.
You must know that he just unified Sichuan three months ago and became the king of Sichuan, and his good life has just begun, how could he be willing to die so early?
has known Li Tie for almost ten years, and he admires Li Tie's ability, not to mention that he originally believed in metaphysics, and now seeing that the prediction made ten years ago comes true today, if he doesn't believe it anymore, then he is not Liu Xiang.
"Brother Iron Egg, how do you do it? But whatever I Liu Xiang can do, I will do it. Liu Xiang said very sincerely.
"It's very simple, my young master said, the army on the other side, you must let it go. As long as they pass through your defenses safely, you're over.
At that time, my young master will let them go north bypassing Sichuan, so that they can not only help you survive the killing, but also make Commander Jiang lose the opportunity to meddle in Sichuan, otherwise as long as Commander Jiang can take the opportunity to seize Sichuan on the grounds of pursuing the Red Army, then you will have no place to cry. Tie Dan said with a smile.
What kind of person Liu Xiang is, and the stakes in this, he just understands it with a roll of his eyes.
I saw Liu Xiang nod solemnly: "I didn't say it, I believe Brother Li Tie's words." ”
