"Division commander, division commander, call from the central government, call from the central government." Liu Hua, who had just entered his dream, was woken up by a shout.

"Political commissar, what's the matter, you're in such a hurry, didn't you say don't you want to disturb me at night?" Liu Hua said with his eyes half-open.

After listening to the words of the division commander, Li Qing couldn't help laughing, is this still the division commander, how can you think of a child, "You kid can't get up yet, tell you, the central call, if it's late, then you can't blame me!" ”

"What? The central government called, why didn't you say it earlier! He snatched the telegram at once, and walked to the telegraph room without putting on his clothes.

"The Central Revolutionary Military Commission:

Yesterday afternoon, our troops were divided into three routes, and one regiment went straight to Changsha, and attacked Changsha, forcing He Jian to transfer two brigades from Zhuzhou for reinforcements, and I led the main force to ambush the enemy in the middle of the road, and completely annihilated the enemy army.

After that, the 2nd Regiment joined up with the logistics and other troops led by the political commissar to force the Xiangjiang River, and I led the 3rd Regiment and the troops directly under me to launch a feint attack on Zhuzhou, forcing a regiment of the enemy's Xiangjiang defense to come back to help, and on the way ordered the commander of the 3rd Regiment to lead two battalions to annihilate it.

In addition, after the reinforcements of Zhuzhou were completely annihilated by our reading division, He Jian ordered two regiments of the Anhua garrison to return to Changsha, and were completely annihilated by our second regiment in the field, and then took advantage of the victory to occupy Anhua County.

In the end, all the combat units broke away from the enemy, crossed the Xiang River, and joined Anhua. The number of enemies destroyed this time was more than one division, and countless were captured, and the specific number is being counted.

Reading Teacher: Liu Hua, Political Commissar: Li Qing"

At this time, the conference room was silent, and Vice Chairman Zhou's hand holding the telegram was trembling, what a great victory! Not only did it force the Hunan army to come back to help, but it also relieved the pressure on the central government, and once again annihilated one division of the enemy. Everyone was shocked, and they just sat blank like that,

"What are you doing in a daze! I think I should send a congratulatory message to the reader as soon as possible. Lao Mao reminded.

"Yes, send a congratulatory telegram, the reading teacher is amazing!" The commander-in-chief also hurriedly said.

"Division commander, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission sent a congratulatory message." The political commissar said with a smile.

"Political commissar, call back, just say that our department has decided to rest in Anhua for one to two days, so that the queen will continue to advance to Xiangxi, and I hope that the Central Revolutionary Military Commission will notify the Red 26th Army in advance, and in addition, tell us the contact password in advance. Let's send it like this! Liu Hua said.

After reading the telegram sent by the reader, several leaders were silent again, you must know that now the Red 26th Army is also in the midst of the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's heavy troops, "Boss, what do you think?" The chairman looked up at the contemplative commander-in-chief.

"Lao Mao, Enlai, I think it's okay, Liu Hua, this kid has given us so many surprises, and he hasn't failed once, since we let him be the head of the reading division, we should believe him, plus he has gone through this battle, ammunition and other materials must be very sufficient, if you go to Xiangxi, maybe you can help He Huzi a big favor?"

"Yes, I agree." Vice Chairman Zhou also made up his mind and said.

"I also agree, by the way, send the situation of the 26th Army Corps over, make a reference for Liu Hua's kid, and tell them all the contact information." The Chair added at the end of his summary.

"Division commander, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission called back to agree, and at this time, the contact information, as well as the current situation of the Red 26th Army Corps, were also sent."

"Political commissar, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission is thoughtful, you can keep the contact information, and show me the situation of the 26th Army Corps sent by the Military Commission."

"Okay, division commander, you should also rest early." Seeing the red circles in the division commander's eyes, the political commissar reminded in a low voice.

Hearing the political commissar's concern for him, Liu Hua nodded, put the telegram on the table, and returned to the bed.

The next day, the reading division held a meeting as scheduled, and the political commissar first read the congratulatory telegram from the central government, and when he heard the central government's high evaluation of the reading teacher, every cadre had a smile on his face. Seeing everyone's smiles, Liu Hua was also happy, and immediately proposed to announce the results of the past few days. The political commissar picked up the counted results and stood up again.

"After statistics, we annihilated a total of seven regiments of the enemy in this battle, with a total of more than 11,000 people, of which more than 2,500 were captured, most of the prisoners were captured by the second regiment and the two divisions of the Hunan army, of which 800 prisoners have been directly absorbed by the regiments, and now there are 1,700 prisoners who are being guarded by the new regiment.

36 mortars, 42 heavy machine guns, more than 160 light machine guns, more than 8,000 rifles, pistols, and submachine guns were captured, and countless ammunition were seized.

Our army has captured a total of 4 radio stations, so by now, our reading division has a total of 10 radio stations.

Our army lost 745 casualties, nearly 100 seriously wounded, and more than 500 lightly wounded, and most of the dead were composed of ambushes of the enemy's 3rd division. However, all vacancies were filled by the personnel of the respective recruit camps, which did not affect the combat effectiveness. ”

After listening to the political commissar's briefing, everyone was even happier, chatting with each other about the battle.

"Seeing that the comrades were so happy and won the battle? I am also very happy, but comrades cannot be too happy, because we still have a long way to go, and we are now alone, so we cannot be too proud, and greater difficulties are still waiting for us. Liu Hua watched in silence as everyone was woken up from joy by his own words.

"Well, very well, now we are here for a formal meeting, and the main purpose of today is to tell you all about our final destination this time." Seeing that everyone suddenly started talking again because of his words, Liu Hua smiled.

"Okay, let's not discuss it, you should know about the 26th Army Corps led by Comrade He Long, they are now operating in Xiangxi, pinning down the enemy army and creating opportunities for the main force to break through. We just want to take the readers and their teachers to jointly complete the tasks assigned by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. After speaking, he looked at the people who were in shock with a smile.

"Don't be surprised, with our current strength, going to Xiangxi will definitely give a big surprise to the Red 26th Army Corps that is in trouble, do you have confidence!" Seeing that everyone had not yet reacted, the political commissar hurriedly spoke to encourage everyone.

"Confident" listened to the words of the political commissar, and the cadres below replied in unison.

"Okay, comrades are confident, now I order, the new regiment from the prisoners to replenish 1,000 people, in the formation of two new battalions, the baggage battalion abolished, the formation of a logistics department, Comrade Li Xiaowu as the director, under the jurisdiction of one battalion of infantry, 450 people, all equipped with light weapons, responsible for protecting our baggage, two 500 people of the baggage battalion, the backbone of the armed forces. Supervisors at all levels were directly promoted from the former battalion-level supervisors, and the baggage companies of the former regiments handed over all the reserve materials to the logistics office and placed them under the command of each regiment. ”

"The remaining prisoners were given to three regiments of recruit battalions, and each regiment was expanded into four recruit companies. The mortar batteries of each regiment were all expanded into artillery batteries with 12 mortars, the heavy machine gun platoons of each battalion were expanded into heavy machine gun companies with six heavy machine guns, and each regiment was equipped with two radio stations to facilitate the regiment commander and the political commissar to carry out their tasks separately. ”

"The artillery battalion was expanded into a mortar reinforced battalion of 5 companies. The heavy machine gun battalion was expanded to 5 companies and reinforced battalions, and both the artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion were required to set up baggage companies. ”

After listening to the words of the division commander, every commander in charge was happy, now that it is good, the firepower of his own troops has finally been strengthened again, can you not be happy.

"Okay, everyone knows what they should know. I plan to rest in Anhua for two days, and we will leave and dismiss in two days. ”

Immediately, the entire Anhua county seemed to be in operation, and the logistics department purchased all kinds of scarce materials again under Liu Hua's order, you must know that the logistics department now has nearly 1,000 porters, as well as 800 mules and horses (more than 200 of which were captured in these battles, and all handed over to the logistics office. After having such a strong transportation capacity, Li Xiaowu desperately bought supplies, food, cloth, cotton, medicine, and even the restaurants in Xing'an were mobilized to make dry food for the troops. It is convenient for the troops to fight later.

The heavy machine gun battalion and the artillery battalion were looking for people everywhere among the prisoners, digging people, in short, the entire Hung Yen county was in a busy situation.

However, at this time, the Red 26th Army Corps, which had just joined the division for a long time, was in a very difficult situation, although the troops conquered Sangzhi, Dayong and other county towns after continuous fighting, and captured a lot of materials, but in the face of the whole army of nearly 20,000 horses, how small the materials were, seeing that it was already a cold winter, many comrades in the second army were still single-clothed, which made He Long and Ren Bishi and others worried.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the base area that the enemy had just established, several regiment leaders sat down again. Looking at the sad faces on everyone's faces, Mr. He knew that the encirclement and suppression of the enemy army must be very serious this time. Just as everyone was frowning and thinking, the operator walked in.

"Mr. He, political commissar, central telegraph."

"After discussion by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, in order to strengthen the Red 26th Army Corps, continue to contain the enemy army, and create opportunities for the main force, the Central Reading Division operating in Xiangdong is hereby ordered to join your unit and jointly contain the enemy army. Among them, there are more than 12,000 soldiers in the Reading Division, well-armed, and the division commander: Liu Hua. Political Commissar: Li Qing. Your department will contact you in the near future, so please be sure to accept it.

Central Revolutionary Military Commission: Zhu, Mao, Zhou"

"Political commissar, have you ever heard of the Central Reading Division, I don't seem to have the impression that when the Central Reading Division will have a Central Reading Division operating in Xiangdong." After listening to the telegram, Mr. He looked at the political commissar who read the telegram suspiciously.

"Mr. He, I don't know, but I know Li Qing, as far as I know, he is a good political commissar, but it seems that he was purged before the Central Committee's Long March, I haven't heard of that Liu Hua, otherwise, let's send a telegram to ask the Central Committee specifically!" Ren Bishi's political commissar looked at Mr. He.

"Alright! I agree, and hope that the arrival of the Reader will bring us good news. Mr. He nodded and began to smoke again.
