Compared with ordinary soldiers, as the person in charge of the Eighth Route Army in Central China, He Zhengdao understands what it means to 'focus on the overall situation'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The two parties signed a cooperation agreement, but they still face and feel discord, which is also related to the grievances between the two parties in the early years.

From the start of the Nanchang Uprising to the end of the Red Army's Long March, the past few years have also been called the 'White Terror' period by later generations. Many of those who chose to embark on the revolutionary road with the Red Army fell on the road of pursuing revolutionary victory.

In addition to these revolutionaries, there were also many family members of the Red Army, who were also ruthlessly oppressed and harmed. It's just that compared with the situation here in Dabie Mountain, in fact, the situation in the southern Jiangxi Soviet area is undoubtedly more serious.

Even many revolutionary fighters who have embarked on this road know very well that the revolution is not a good family, it is a price to pay with their lives. However, most of the soldiers of the advance team who returned to the Dabie Mountains to rebuild the base area at this moment were people who were familiar with the local situation.

Some people, when they received permission from the army to return home to visit their relatives, found that their family members had been persecuted to death by the local garrison and the government after they were transferred. Many revolutionary fighters suddenly became loners.

Although there is a popular saying that 'the family will not be harmed', the Nationalist government, which suppressed the Red Army, knew very well that without brutal control would not be enough to deter those who opposed them.

In the face of these advance team members who have no home to return to, or even can't find a home, He Zhengdao, as their commander, wants to say that he completely sits idly by, and he can't do it in his heart, which will also affect the revolutionary enthusiasm of these team members.

But if you manage it, those who rely on the blood of the Red Army martyrs and their families on their hands are the targets of promotion and reuse by the Nationalist Government. In the event of retaliation, how will the Nationalist Government react?

Looking at the situation reported one after another, He Zhengdao and Xiao Jinguang also felt very embarrassed. Even Luo Nonghuan, who was the political director, was full of annoyance: "If this matter is not handled, it will affect the morale of the troops!" ”

As a political cadre of the army, Luo Nonghuan naturally knew that some of the backbone of the guerrillas were now immersed in the grief of their family persecution. In any case, they had the enthusiasm to sacrifice for the revolution, but they did not want to involve their families.

Now they're back, and they thought they were returning home. You can see the collapsed houses, and the cold tombstones. Even some fighters could not find the bones of their family members, and this kind of grief and indignation is also human.

Listening to Luo Nonghuan's words, Luo Ruiqing also smiled bitterly and said, "If it was before, we wouldn't let them go no matter what." But now is the period of bipartisan cooperation in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and if we carry out liquidation, it will give them an excuse to attack us. ”

Xiao Jinguang, who is the political commissar, also nodded and said, "Yes!" Although we are different from the early years, we will not be as worried as we were before. But the situation now is that we have a foreign enemy that we need to resist together.

In our current situation, if those people are really taken out and executed, what will the Nationalist Government think? According to our research over this time, some people are now holding the position of county governor.

It is not difficult to solve these people, but what is really difficult is how to deal with the impact of this matter. Now it seems that when we selected the advance team members, it seemed that we were a little ill-considered! ”

At this time, Luo Nonghuan said, "Commander, what do you think about this?" ”

Even if he didn't come to the new 67th Army for a long time, Luo Nonghuan knew very well how high He Zhengdao's prestige in this army was. Those team members who were originally angry and angry held back their grief and continued to work after receiving He Zhengdao's order.

This should be replaced by commanders who have no prestige, but I am afraid that those soldiers will not pay attention to the orders of their superiors at all. Avenging your family is also a matter of course. I can't even protect my family, so what kind of revolution is it?

He Zhengdao, who was asked, also said helplessly about this kind of thing: "If I knew what to do, I wouldn't have asked my superiors." But this matter, completely ignored, I'm afraid it still won't work.

As Director Luo said, if this matter is not handled well, it will affect the morale of the military very much. But if it is disposed of, it will let the national government catch the handle. Dealing with this kind of thing really needs to be careful and not be carried away by anger.

The matter has been reported to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, including Vice Chairman Zhou, and I have also sent a telegram. Let's hear what the leaders have to say, and then we'll do the specific work. But I still say that some people must be punished as they deserve.

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. Even if we are two parties and two armies, in this kind of matter, the enmity is not like this. But there are some hatreds, and we still have to settle accounts with them in the end. ”

At least in He Zhengdao's view, some people are completely taking revenge for personal gain when they carry out this kind of liquidation task. Doing such a thing that ruins the family should indeed be punished accordingly.

But then again, during the revolutionary period of the Red Army, there were also many landlords and the Central Army who were disposed of. This kind of thing is actually not less. This means that there is some hatred that cannot be eliminated.

received a telegram from He Zhengdao asking for instructions, and Mao Taizu saw that the telegram was half-ringing and did not speak. As the leader of the party, Mao Taizu understands the feelings of those soldiers who want to avenge their families, but he also understands that this kind of thing cannot be messed with.

Don't look at the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, but there are as many crises and challenges as it needs to face. At least at this stage, Mao Taizu did not dare to say that the Eighth Route Army was sure of defeating the Central Army.

You kill my people, I will take revenge. I want your people, you want revenge. This kind of thing has been commonplace since the day when revolution was popular in China. But the question is, if this matter is not explained, what will the officers and soldiers think in their hearts?

The ruthless killing of "it is better to kill 3,000 by mistake than to spare one" has indeed caused many revolutionaries who followed the Red Army to pay a heavy price. But the current situation is that their revolution is still unsuccessful, and they still need to continue to work hard!

After thinking for a long time, Mao Taizu finally said: "Call back to the independent column, just four words, the overall situation is important!" ”

Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou who received the telegram requesting instructions were mostly the same when they called back to He Zhengdao. Looking at these received callbacks, He Zhengdao also knew very well that he needed to appease those soldiers who trusted him.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Political commissar, chief of staff, you have to worry a little more about the recent affairs of the troops. In the matter of recruitment, the work of political examination must be done in detail. The work of training recruits should also be carried out as soon as possible.

Next, I will take the time to visit the bases of the various guerrillas. First, we want to learn about the development of the guerrillas, and second, we want to learn about the local people's situation and the people's evaluation of us.

Taking advantage of this inspection, I will personally do ideological work for those fighters. Since the chairman has instructed us to put the overall situation first, we can only endure humiliation and bear the burden, and first focus on the joint war of resistance. But I have to give them an explanation for this.

Director Luo don't argue with me, although I am not a political cadre, I know these soldiers I brought out, and I also believe that they will listen to me as a commander. The morale problem is solved first, and then we can carry out the next step. ”

Hearing that He Zhengdao was going to inspect the guerrilla brigades, Xiao Jinguang thought about it with Luo Ruiqing, and felt that this might be a good solution. Even Xiao Jinguang must admit that He Zhengdao is the real backbone of this army.

Among the people who reported this time, the vast majority were veterans who fought with He Zhengdao on the Long March. These veterans will still listen to He Zhengdao's words. It's also a little easier to do that.

Thinking about this, Luo Nonghuan could only say: "Okay then!" But what if you go out and have a military mission? After all, now the little devil has not retreated, and we are only afraid that there will be combat missions next! ”

'No problem! According to the situation we have detected so far, the second army of the little devils has retreated in the area of Lu'an to carry out defense. If they tried to attack again, they would have to wait at least until reinforcements they had drawn from the rear arrived.

In a short time, it is estimated that their reinforcements will not be able to catch up for a while and a half. As for sending our troops to the front again, it will have to wait until we have almost rested. After all, our casualties this time are not small!

If Lao Chiang orders us to fight again, he will send a telegram to the headquarters at that time, saying that we have not finished resting yet, and I hope they will give us more time to rest. In short, no matter how much you want us to fight, you can't agree too much. ’

Hearing this, Luo Ruiqing smiled and said, "What does the commander mean, we also have to put up a shelf?" ”

'Of course! Although we do not want to break the agreement of the joint war of resistance, our record this time is also obvious to all. However, the recent propaganda of the Nationalist Government has completely ignored the fruits of our victory!

We are soldiers, and obeying orders is our first duty. But we came to participate, in the name of secondment assistance. Now to erase our credit, shouldn't we lose our temper? If you don't use bean bags as dry food, you can't really bully us! ’

After saying this, He Zhengdao continued: "Only by pinching them will they understand that we are not the 51st Army or the 77th Army, we are the New 67th Army of the Eighth Route Army with independent combat rights."

If you want the horse to run, but you don't want to give the horse grazing, that's such a good thing. Properly put up the shelves, and when we ask them for supplies and supplies in the future, they will give them a little more happily.

What's more, we also have our own difficulties. At the end of this battle, we could have lost nearly half of our troops of nearly 60,000 men. With such a big loss, shouldn't we be given a little more time to recuperate? ”

Thinking of the exaggerated war losses reported one after another, Xiao Jinguang and the others also smiled. In fact, this battle damage is at least three times exaggerated. And the extra 20,000 people have actually spread behind enemy lines that are currently controlled by the little devils.

Of course, in the Dabie Mountain area, many troops were also scattered into pieces. This means that the plan to set up an anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines in Central China is actually already being implemented! (To be continued.) )
