Chapter 84: The Long March (3)

Faced with Zhang Guotao's invitation, Liu Hua smiled and handed Zhang Guotao's letter to political commissar Guan Xiangying. After reading the letter, the commissar frowned.

"Commander, Chairman Zhang must have bad intentions when he invited you to dinner in the evening, I think you should not go! He said that he was sick and could not attend the banquet. The commissar proposed.

"Hehe, political commissar, don't worry, Zhang Guotao's trick will definitely not succeed, and I want Zhang Guotao to take out something for our Seventh Army tonight." Liu Hua looked at the nervous political commissar with a smile and said.

Joke, as a graduate student of the National Defense University in later generations, he has a clear understanding of Zhang Guotao's surname and tricks in history, how could he be deceived by Zhang Guotao? Liu Hua was full of confidence in going to the banquet in the evening.

In the evening, Liu Hua came to Zhang Guotao's residence with a company of guards, and saw Zhang Guotao in history from a distance, followed by Chen Changhao, the political commissar of the Fourth Front Army, and Comrade Xu Xiangqian, the commander-in-chief. Liu Hua hurriedly dismounted. A false courtesy is still needed. "Report Chairman Zhang, Commander-in-Chief Xu, Political Commissar Chen, and Commander Liu Hua of the Seventh Army Corps were ordered to come and report." After speaking, he stepped forward and saluted the three of them with a solemn military salute.

"Commander Liu, don't be so polite, they are all your comrades and brothers, don't be so outside." Zhang Guotao first spoke, looked at Liu Hua with a smile and said.

"Comrade Liu Hua, you are a hero of our Red Army, I am very happy to meet you, and when I have time in the future, you must tell me about your situation by the Xiangjiang River at that time and the development of the troops in the future. Commander-in-Chief Xu said.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief Xu, my tactics are all based on [***] tactics, there is nothing to say, you know, I have admired you for a long time!" Liu Hua hurriedly said, and at the same time looked at Zhang Guotao next to him with the rest of his eyes. When Liu Hua mentioned [***], his color moved significantly. Liu Hua said to Zhang Guotao quietly,

"I don't know what task Chairman Zhang gave me today, Liu Hua will definitely complete it."

"Hehe, there is no task, just let a few of us get to know the heroes of our Red Army." Zhang Guotao immediately covered the unhappy expression on his face and said with a smile.

Dinner was plentiful, for the current Red Army. After the meal, Commander-in-Chief Xu and Political Commissar Chen left one after another, looking at the backs of the two leaving, Liu Hua secretly thought that the one who should have come is still coming.

"Comrade Liu Hua, I don't know what you think of the Central Red Army's northward resistance?" Liu Hua couldn't help but be stunned, Zhang Guotao was really different, Liu Hua thought about it and said.

"Report Chairman Zhang, I was only a squad leader during the Long March, and later because of the casualties of the cadres of the army, I was promoted in a very short time, which is also the trust of the leaders in me, since the Xiangjiang River, basically cut off the contact with the central government, the decision of the central government and why such a decision is not something that I can discuss as a new cadre, but I am a [***] member, I will do what I should do, and I will not support [***] retreat." After Liu Hua finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Guotao who was sitting on the opposite side seriously.

Liu Hua's answer can be described as very incisive, neither so far nor objected to it, which made Zhang Guotao, who wanted to know Liu Hua's thoughts, fall into deep thought.

"Hehe, Comrade Liu Hua, you are modest, you must know that if it weren't for you, maybe the Central Red Army would have stopped for a while" Comrade Liu Hua, your contribution is obvious to all of us. ”

In this way, the two kept fighting, but Liu Hua, with his understanding of Zhang Guotao, has been answering Zhang Guotao's questions vaguely, which makes Zhang Guotao depressed, but he can't get angry......

"Comrade Liu Hua, I don't know what the current situation of the Seventh Army is?" Zhang Guotao looked at Liu Hua who was drinking tea expectantly. At the same time, Liu Hua was also stopped by this sentence. Here's your chance. Liu Hua thought secretly.

"Report Chairman Zhang, because the proportion of the old Red Army of the Seventh Army is very small, many soldiers are adapted from battlefield prisoners, and sometimes even show fear of running away in the process of fighting." Liu Hua said exaggeratedly.

"Eh, it seems that you must strengthen the ideological propaganda work of the troops!" Zhang Guotao didn't know that he had fallen into Liu Hua's scheme.

"Yes, Chairman Zhang, I will, Chairman Zhang, can you help us with the Seventh Legion!" Liu Hua took advantage of the opportunity to hurriedly ask.

"Comrade Liu Hua, if there are any difficulties, just mention them, I will definitely help if I can tie them up." Zhang Guotao's mind is also alive, now I will give you some sweet dates to eat, and I don't want to repay me in the future. Zhang Guotao thought secretly. But he didn't know that for Liu Hua, he was a meat bun beating a dog...... There is no return.

"Chairman Zhang, I heard that the strength of the Fourth Front Army is strong, and the proportion of the old Red Army is very large, so that many soldiers have gone through several tough battles, and each of them has strong combat effectiveness and rich ideological and work experience, and the Seventh Army Corps just lacks such soldiers and cadres, I want to ask Zhang Zhuzi to help our Seventh Army Corps, and I should drop more than 100 cadres, I think that if the Seventh Army adds cadres supported by the Fourth Front Army, the combat effectiveness will be greatly strengthened in the future." Liu Hua hurriedly said.

At this time, Zhang Guotao suddenly thought of some cadres who were imprisoned by himself who did not obey him, the number of which was just 150 people, why not transfer these people over, anyway, these people can't be killed, and if they are placed in the Four Front Army, they will also affect other cadres and soldiers, and throw them to Liu Hua, which will save a lot of things, and at the same time, it can also make Liu Hua, this kid, owe himself a favor. wanted to play these, Zhang Guotao hurriedly said. "In this way, Comrade Liu Hua, I have transferred 150 cadres from the Fourth Front Army to the Seventh Army Corps, and you must make good use of these cadres to demonstrate their quality and combat effectiveness." Zhang Guotao said with a smile.

Liu Hua hurriedly seized the opportunity and said: "Thank you, Chairman Zhang, if Chairman Zhang has anything to tell in the future, as long as Liu Hua can help, he will definitely help." Liu Hua gave Zhang Guotao an empty vernacular.

But Zhang Guotao didn't think so, what he thought was that Liu Hua had already been received by him under his account

Slowly, the two chatted for more than ten minutes on meaningless topics, and after both of them got their satisfactory results (Liu Hua got 150 cadres, Zhang Guotao got Liu Hua's empty words), Zhang Guotao instructed the staff officer to bring over the list of cadres to be transferred to Liu Hua, and told Liu Hua that these cadres would report to the headquarters of the Seventh Army Corps tomorrow morning.

In this way, Liu Hua took the list of 150 cadres and returned to the headquarters of the Seventh Army with a smile. Rushing back to the headquarters, he saw several familiar faces waiting for him.
