Chapter XXVIII

"Division commander, the central government has called back, and sent a congratulatory telegram." The political commissar smiled and handed a telegram to Liu Hua, who was in a daze.

"I am very happy to hear that your unit has won a great victory in annihilating an entire division of the enemy, and I hope that your unit will make persistent efforts to achieve an even greater victory for the victory of the Chinese revolution. In addition, Comrade Liu Hua is the main decision-maker in the future of the reading division, and the political commissar does not have the final decision. Central Revolutionary Military Commission: Zhu, Mao, Zhou. ”

"Division commander, are you stunned, you must know that this telegram means that the Central Committee has completely handed over the Reading Division to you, which has never been done in our Red Army." The political commissar said a little jealously.

"Commissar, what do you say? You are the political commissar of our reading division, don't talk nonsense, at this time, the Military Commission's trust in us has given us such a great power, we must not live up to the trust of the central government, and our burden will be even heavier in the future. ”

"Political commissar, anyway, there is no war now, we haven't talked about it yet, let's have a good chat tonight, you don't leave yet."

"It's time to have a good chat with you, after all, I'm still your partner."

"Political commissar, you said that this time we annihilated a division of the enemy, and the enemy should not come to encircle and suppress it in the near future, what should we do recently?"

"I've also thought about this question, and it's always been difficult to choose whether to return the base areas or re-establish them. What do you think? The political commissar looked at Liu Hua, who was smoking.

"Political commissar, do you think that we will fight back to the base area and rebuild the base area."

"I think we should be very sure, after all, where we have a deep revolutionary foundation, the masses support us, and there are many guerrillas, we should be able to gain a firm foothold if we go, right?"

Liu Hua shook his head, did not speak, handed the political commissar an investigation report written by the reconnaissance company, the political commissar glanced at it, and in an instant, his eyes were about to pop out. "These kings, raised by bitches, are really not a thing, and I am inseparable from you." A quiet commissar swore off.

It turned out that Liu Hua had learned about the destruction of the base area through the guerrillas in the past few days. It can be described as miserable, and the families with a little revolutionary foundation are basically killed by the Kuomintang party

Seeing that the political commissar's mood had eased a little, Liu Hua asked: "Political commissar, do you still think that you can return to the base area and rebuild the base area?" ”

"It seems that it will be impossible to fight back to the Soviet zone." The commissar shook his head.

"Then we will rebuild the base area and rebuild a piece of the world." The commissar raised his head and said.

It seems that the commissar is only thinking about establishing a base area. Liu Hua thought secretly.

"Political commissar, do you think we have enough time to establish a base area, you must know that if Chiang Kai-shek knew that we would once again completely annihilate one of his divisions, he would definitely draw a large number of troops from the front line or rear to encircle and suppress it, you know, he will never tolerate the presence of a permanent Red Army in his rear again, besides, it takes time for us to establish a base area, and the task given to us by the central government is to attract enemy troops and cover the transfer of the main force, so that the task of the central government will not be completed."

Neither of them spoke, but sat quietly.

"Teacher, your brain is spinning fast, just talk about it." The commissar really couldn't think of it.

Liu Hua pointed to Changsha on the map. "Changsha, division commander, you want to fight Changsha."

"Political commissar, you are wrong, it's not a fight, it's a feint, now that the Hunan army has fallen to the front line, Changsha will definitely be very empty, if our troops are directed at Changsha, what do you say He Jianhui will do?"

"He will definitely ignore Chiang Kai-shek's opposition and transfer troops from the front line to protect Changsha, which is the nest of the Hunan army, and he can't afford to lose it." The political commissar suddenly came to his senses.

"Divisional commander, then?" The political commissar knew that his division commander was very young, but he must have considered the problem very carefully, and there must be a follow-up.

"Rendezvous with the Red 26th Army." Liu Hua finally said the purpose he had been thinking about for a few days, "And then follow the main force with the 26th Army Corps." ”

The political commissar was stunned, what a lot of effort did this take, if he wanted himself, he would never have thought that the 26th Army Corps, which was active in Xiangxi, would have his division commander really different.

"Division commander, the Military Commission said that we will listen to you in terms of operations, I agree with your plan, should we report the plan to the Central Committee." The commissar said in an affirmative tone.

"Political commissar, don't be busy yet, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"Just say it, don't be a mother-in-law," the commissar said with a smile.

"Alright! Commissar, we have captured so many weapons and so many prisoners this time, I think we should do a reorganization of the troops. You see: now we have a total of 58 mortars, and I think we should set up a mortar battalion directly under the division, and distribute the rest evenly among the regiments, so that they can form mortar companies, so that in the future, when the regiments fight alone, there will be no lack of heavy fire support. Heavy machine guns were required to be assigned to battalions, each battalion had a heavy machine gun platoon, and the regiment had a heavy machine gun company. In addition, the snipers in these battles played a great role, requiring each regiment to have a sniper platoon, a baggage company and other directly subordinate units. All three regiments are required to reach full strength. ”

"Wait, division commander, when the full establishment is reached, how many people are there!" The commissar asked in surprise.

"Political commissar, it's not much, each regiment seems to me to have 3,000 people,"

"My mother, 3,000 people, this is almost catching up with a division of the Red Army and a brigade of the Central Army......"

"Hehe, political commissar, you're right, I just want to achieve that in the future, one of my regiments can fight against a brigade of the Central Army without suffering, and our whole division can annihilate them against the enemy's division, and our recruit battalion should also be upgraded to a new corps, equipped with only light weapons, not heavy weapons, and each regiment must have a new battalion, so that in the future, casualties in the main force can be directly replenished from the new battalion, without affecting the combat effectiveness of the main force."

After speaking, Liu Hua looked at the political commissar in a daze with a smile.

"Commander, if you really have you, I agree, follow you, it's really exciting." The commissar said with a smile.

"But, division commander, if we do what you say, we will have too many recruits, and there will be too few veterans in the troops, so this problem will not be easy to handle!"

Liu Hua didn't speak, and pointed in the direction of Jinggang Mountain with his finger. "Haha, Commander, you can think of this, I really convinced you."

"Hehe, political commissar, it's not about me, it's about so many excellent soldiers, let them stop fighting guerrillas in the mountains, it would be too wronged to them, you know, they are all wounded and sick under the main force, and they all have rich combat experience."

"But, division commander, they are now in the guerrillas after all, how can we" The political commissar looked at the division commander with a puzzled face.

"Hehe, it's very simple, this time we have seized so many weapons and ammunition, let's give them some light weapons and ammunition, those guerrillas will definitely laugh and let them go. By the way, do you know how many people there are? Hehe, there are more than 1,200 lightly wounded and more than 500 seriously wounded, which is more than half of the regiment, hehe"

"Division Commander, how do I feel that you are very much like a merchant now!" The commissar laughed.

"Report chief, telegram."

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Reader has telegraphed." Vice Chairman Zhou took the telegram and shouted to Comrade *, who had already resumed military power after the Zunyi meeting.

"Well, here, what surprise did that kid Liu Hua bring us?" Since the commander-in-chief received Liu Hua's good news one after another, he has regarded Liu Hua as his favorite general, and when he heard that he was a reader, he immediately asked happily.

"Liu Hua, this kid. The courage is not small, the soldiers pointed directly at He Jian's lair, I think it can, commander-in-chief, what do you see? Mr. Zhu looked at the map and pondered for a while.

"Yes, yes."

"What else? Come and see, Liu Hua, this kid, has more than 10,000 readers, and they are all about to catch up with one of our legions. He is really good at development, no wonder he dares to start with Changsha. The chairman sighed when he saw the reader compiled by Liu Hua attached to the telegram.

"Hehe, God really helps the Red Army, we have more than 10,000 more horses!" Vice Chairman Zhou has been worried about the future of the Red Army every day since the number of Red Army troops was reduced to 30,000 after the Battle of Xiangjiang, and now he has more than 10,000 more horses out of thin air.

"Hehe, since everyone agrees, let's send a report!" The commander-in-chief, seeing that the opinions were unified, proposed.

"Hehe, division commander, it's so fast, the Military Commission has agreed to your plan, it seems that you and the Military Commission think the same."

"It's the same thing that heroes see, you know?" Liu Hua objected.

"Okay, I'm not going to fight with you, it's so late, I should rest, and I have a meeting tomorrow? Just keep being your hero! I'm gone."

Looking at the back of the political commissar, Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally go to northern Shaanxi.
