Chapter 39: The Red Second Front

In the evening, the three chief officers of the corps headquarters came to the conference room for a meeting, and through the mutual understanding of several people, Liu Hua was very happy to know that his current three main divisions had reached the state before the reorganization. Immediately, the sequence of tomorrow's march was discussed, with the corps commander Liu Hua and political commissar Guan Xiangying leading the first division as the vanguard of the whole army, Li Qing leading all the logistics baggage and new corps, the second division as the middle army of the whole army, and the third division as the rear guard of the whole army.

The next day, Liu Hua, Guan Xiangying lover with a division of German men and horses took the lead in departure, because there were almost no enemy troops nearby, in the future before sending a reconnaissance battalion to reconnoiter around, the first division boldly marched to Yujiaping, due to the continuous contact of the radio, at noon, the troops were only 10 miles away from Yujiaping, after receiving the report of the Red 26th Army, learned that Mr. He, Ren Political Commissar and others were already waiting for him in Yujiaping, Liu Hua couldn't wait any longer, and took the guards and political commissar Guan Xiangying to ride a horse and want to rush to Yujiaping, In less than half an hour, a group of people were seen walking outside the town. According to the memories of later generations, Liu Hua quickly recognized the first person as the future Marshal He Long, next to him was the political commissar Ren Bishi, followed by the leaders of the legion Xiao Ke, Wang Zhen and others

Liu Hua hurriedly dismounted and greeted him forward, with a standard salute

"Report to Commander-in-Chief He, political commissar, Liu Hua, commander of the Red Seventh Army Corps, come to report."

Looking at the young man saluting him in front of him, Mr. He, Political Commissar Ren and others looked at him one after another, he was so young, he couldn't believe that he was the hero of the Red Army.

"Commander Liu Hua, hehe, hello, I've heard about your deeds, it's a miracle, a miracle, I can't believe it? I didn't expect the corps commander to be so young, come, let me introduce you to it. ”

The rest of the time was to meet some leading cadres of the Red 26th Army under the introduction of Mr. He, looking at the generals with weathered faces, Liu Hua was moved, looking at the soldiers along the way, Liu Hua left tears, the 26th Army fought too hard.

Along the way, many soldiers were still wearing single clothes in the cold winter, looking at the rifles in the hands of the soldiers who were almost smoothed, and even a submachine gun could not be seen among Mr. He's guards.

"Mr. He, the 26th Army is fighting very hard, I don't know if there are any difficulties now!" Liu Hua couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, Comrade Liu Hua, I'm not afraid of your jokes, hehe, due to Chiang Kai-shek's economic blockade, there are still nearly half of the soldiers in the whole army who have no cotton clothes, and the rifles in the hands of many soldiers are almost smoothed, and ammunition is even more lacking" Speaking of this, everyone is not talking.

"Mr. He, political commissar Ren, we will meet this time, and our Seventh Army Corps has nothing to send, and there is just a batch of surplus drug funds, you can see if you can solve some of the problems." As he spoke, he took out the list he had been preparing for a long time.

"So many, Comrade Liu Hua, you" Seeing so many supplies, Mr. He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

"Mr. He, that's the case, when we decided to join you, we thought of your hard work, so we started to stock up on cotton clothes and other materials, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy now, hehe!"

Mr. He continued to ask: "Commander of the Sixth Army, there are still so many ammunition and weapons, is the weapons and ammunition of the Red Seventh Regiment still enough?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. He, you can accept it with confidence, you don't know, the Red Seventh Army is now lacking in nothing but a shortage of people, especially weapons and ammunition, and there are too many to use up." Guan Xiangying, the political commissar next to him, saw Mr. He's hesitation and immediately said with a smile.

"Mr. He, how many things are there, show me too!" Wang Zhen next to him saw that Mr. He had been holding the piece of paper, and immediately said with a smile.

"Hehe, since Guan Xiangying has said so, then I want it," Mr. He finally smiled.

"Haha, comrades, let me give you the gift that the Red Seventh Army brought us:

There are a total of 15,000 sets of quilts and clothes, and a total of 200,000 catties of grain.

36 mortars, 36 heavy machine guns, 5 bases of ammunition,

200 light machine guns, 10,000 rifles, submachine guns, pistols,

500,000 rounds of ammunition"

"Oh my god, so much, now we don't have to worry about ammunition, hehe." Several cadres of the legion immediately exclaimed after listening to Mr. He's words, and at the same time had a better impression of the young corps commander in front of them.

"Okay, see you are happy, comrades are all ready, ready to welcome the coming Red Seventh Army, in the evening, our whole army will have a dinner, what do you think!" Seriously proposed.

"Good!" All of them answered in unison.

After nearly two days of busy green, all the troops were moved to the vicinity of Sangzhi, and all the leaders of the Red 267th Army came to the temporary headquarters to discuss future combat matters, due to the arrival of the Red 7th Army, the Red 26th Army Corps, which was short of guns and a small single order, suddenly poured a great replenishment, but due to Chiang Kai-shek's economic blockade of the Soviet area, the supply of materials in the Soviet area has been in short supply, especially food.

Faced with such a problem, the mood of the leaders of several regiments turned from the joy of receiving supplies a few days ago to a headache.

"Mr. He, political commissar, our Seventh Army originally had 100,000 catties of grain in reserve, plus the grain captured in Taoyuan, our Seventh Legion is taking out 150,000 catties of grain to supply to the Second and Sixth Legions." Seeing the dull atmosphere in the conference room, Liu Hua was the first to stand up.

"Commander of the Sixth Army, thank you, you don't know, you have solved a lot of our big problems, hehe, but 150,000 catties of grain for nearly 40,000 troops can't last a few days!" Listening to the words of the political commissar, several corps commanders fell into deep thought again.

"We must break the enemy's blockade and go to enemy-occupied areas so that we can have enough food." Mr. He finally spoke. Several people nodded after hearing this.

"I think it's winter now, and the enemy forces around us should have a lot of reserves, we can't sit here and wait, we have to attack."

"I agree with Mr. He." Xiao Ke, the commander of the Sixth Army next to him, immediately agreed.

"Well, I agree, but how can we solve the problem of command?" Commissar Ren threw out another question.

"Report to several chiefs, the central emergency telegram."

"Congratulations to the Red 26th Army Corps and the Red Seventh Army Corps on their victorious rendezvous, after the study of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, in order to better command the future battles of the Red 267th Army Corps, the Red Army Second Front Army was specially formed, under the jurisdiction of the Red Second Army Corps, the Red Sixth Army Corps, and the Red Seventh Army Corps. He Long, commander-in-chief of the front army, was appointed as Bi Shi, and Chen Bojun, chief of staff.

"Okay, now the problem I just had is solved, hehe, I didn't expect the telegram from the Military Commission to come in time." After reading the telegram, the political commissar Ren was able to speak wittily.

"Okay, since the central government has called, then I, He Long, will be the commander-in-chief, hehe, it's noon, don't leave today, let's celebrate, let's celebrate the establishment of our Second Front Army today, how about it!" Mr. He stood up and said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. He, you can't be stingy today! You cook it yourself. Wang Zhen immediately stood up and agreed.

"Okay, you Wang Zhen, you like to face me, okay, I still have a lot of good things that Liu Hua brought there, and today I will be cheaper for you kid," After speaking, he looked at Liu Hua who was contemplative.

"Mr. He, several of you leaders have agreed, how dare I not go, besides, I don't take advantage of it, I'm not a fool," suddenly saw Mr. He looking at himself, Liu Hua stood up in shock.

"Since everyone is gone, let's go!"

At noon, the leaders of the Second Front of the Red Army drank at the house of the commander-in-chief.

"Hey, I said Liu Hua, you tell me clearly, what else is in your Seventh Legion, you didn't blink your eyes last time you took out something so understanding, there must be a lot of treasures, I can see your baggage troops, so many guys, real, tell me quickly." Already drunk, Shook asked.

"It's like, there's something good, let's hear about it." Even Mr. He, who was not drunk next to him, asked.

Liu Hua was blindsided all of a sudden, my God, it seems that I want to do it again today

After the continuous grinding of the leaders, Liu Hua finally had to reluctantly take out the inventory of 6 radio stations, a company of mortars, nearly 50 light machine guns and ammunition to several army commanders.
