Chapter XXXVII, Cavalry Corps III

This time He Zhuguo was followed by the Sixth, Seventh, and Tenth Divisions. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info three divisions totaling more than 20,000 people. In the rear, Qing*yang County still has more than 10,000 troops, as well as equipment that is inconvenient to carry in the mountainous areas, and logistical baggage. This is a great wealth for both the Ma Jiajun and the Red Army. If we can have these equipment, not only will there be a huge increase in firepower, but the troops will also be able to expand a lot.

Xia Xinsheng dropped his pencil, looked at He Zhuguo and asked, "How much do you know about the Northwest Second Horse?" ”

He Zhuguo said a little lonely: "As early as after leaving the customs, the young marshal, no, it was Zhang Xueliang who formulated the strategy of taking the northwest as the station. It was also recognized by Jiang Jieshi. Zhang has always trusted me, so I know all these things. We have a deep study of Erma and Sheng Shicai. In particular, the people of Erma are fierce, the people are single, and under the influence of their religion, they are very fanatical. The troops are also very murderous. So I'm afraid that the third and fourth divisions will be more auspicious, and I don't know if we can save them? ”

Xia Xinsheng stood up and circled the table twice, gritted his teeth and said: "I won't tell you these nonsense, we ourselves are facing a very big predicament now, and we don't have the time to do things that are unprofitable and get up early." Let me make it clear to you, only if our troops have repelled the Ma Jiajun in the past, then these two divisions must join our Red Army. There is no reason why we haven't saved our lives, so we will go and save our strength for that Young Marshal Zhang! In other words, if you can't convince them, we may meet these two divisions. Either the people and the equipment come together, or we knock them down and get the equipment. ”

He Zhuguo thought for a while and said: "That's better than falling into the hands of the Ma family, what do we need to do, just say, my cavalry army will fully cooperate!" ”

Luo Ronghuan raised his eyes and asked, "Is it really so serious?" ”

He Zhuguo said with a miserable smile: "As early as when our Northeast Army first arrived in the northwest, there was friction with the Ma Jiajun, and all the captured soldiers were tortured and killed. We also learned some things about Ma Jiajun from the Yang * Hucheng Department of the Northwest Army. It's definitely possible for them to do that. ”

Xia Xinsheng returned to the table and said, "Judging from the current situation, we can't fully trust the liberation fighters of the Cavalry Army, I hope you can understand." ”

He Zhuguo nodded in agreement, and Xia Xinsheng continued: "However, it is very difficult for our troops to go down to the plain to fight against the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, and the strength and firepower are too poor. What's more, we have to take the initiative to attack in order to solve the crisis of the third and fourth divisions. Therefore, we must solve the problem of the reorganization of the cavalry corps as quickly as possible.

In other words, the commanders of the cavalry corps must be wronged. I am afraid that it is not only necessary to equip you with political workers, but also to send a lot of soldiers and military commanders over if you are not successful. In this way, we dare to hand over our backs to you without being reorganized. This ideological work requires your cooperation to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

Luo Ronghuan added: "Of course, after this matter is resolved, we can still fulfill our previous promise and withdraw all military personnel, leaving only the political cadres in your cavalry army." ”

He Zhuguo raised his head and sighed and said: "It's only like this, there is no problem with Ma Jiajun beating me, I'm afraid that Guo Xipeng and Wang Qifeng won't be able to turn around, and let us Northeast people fight in the same room!" ”

Xia Xinsheng nodded and said, "It's not good to say this." However, as long as I can save more strength and go to the battlefield to fight devils in the future, I think it should be worth it. It is better than falling humiliated at the hands of your own people. ”

He Zhuguo lowered his head, thought quietly for a while, raised his head and said firmly: "We have all joined the Red Army, we should not look ahead, I will absolutely obey the party's decision, and I will only do it if it is beneficial to us." What needs to be done, you can give the order directly! ”

Xia Xinsheng moved the map aside and said, "We have to do a few things now, first, send a report to the central government to explain the situation in detail and ask for authorization for the Qingyang operation.

Second, do a good job of ideological work on the comrades of the cavalry corps, so that they know why we are doing this. Political Commissar Luo is smarter than all of us in this matter, and it is up to Political Commissar Luo to decide how to implement it according to the situation. As long as the soldiers can let go of their ideological baggage, I will raise my hands in agreement with the orders and prohibitions. You just have to be bold and bold, and I will accompany you to carry the problem.

Third, the cavalry corps should be urgently reorganized immediately, and all the political workers supported by the central authorities should be strengthened into the cavalry corps. The fighters of the cavalry company of our column were also strengthened to the cavalry corps and mixed together with the northeastern soldiers. Prepare for the refusal of the 3rd and 4th divisions to revolt peacefully. I suggest that the political commissar of the cavalry corps be selected by the Central Committee to be temporarily appointed by the political commissar Luo. We will wait until the selection of the person determined by the central government has arrived.

Fourth, the soldiers who had just fought with the Ma Jiajun went to various departments to impart their experience, so that everyone could have a direct understanding of the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun. Everyone is ready to go, and as soon as the central order arrives, we will set off immediately. ”

Chen Geng asked: "Our infantry firepower is really poor, and we will suffer a big loss if we go up like this, isn't it ......?" ”

Xia Xinsheng thought for a while and said: "It depends on the meaning of Commander He and the cavalry soldiers, asking for something from your comrades, this is too ugly!" ”

He Zhuguo hurriedly stood up and said: "I'll do this thing, try to equip as much equipment as possible to the friendly army, save our fellow villagers in the northeast, I don't think everyone will get better, if there is really something that doesn't open his eyes, I, He Zhuguo, will be the first to spare him!" ”

The telegram was quickly drawn up and sent to the central government, and all the division of labor was rapidly developed. The soldiers gave up their rest and raced against time to make all the preparations for the next big battle. Originally, after seeing the losses caused by the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun to the inferior Red Army, they did not have much confidence in taking the initiative to attack, but fortunately, the cavalry army poured most of Zhang Xueliang's efforts.

In addition to the three cavalry regiments, each division of the cavalry corps has a special service company, an infantry artillery company, a light antiaircraft artillery team, an armored car company, an engineer company, and a communications company. Of course, this is only in terms of establishment, of which the cavalry artillery company and the light anti-aircraft artillery team have been temporarily reorganized, and the armored car team has been temporarily organized by one-third. In addition to four cavalry companies, each regiment also had a machine-gun company, a companion artillery team and a communications platoon.

With the cooperation of He Zhuguo, after doing ideological work for the soldiers, the cavalry corps directly distributed half of the machine gun unit and all the artillery units. It was handed over to the command headquarters for unified command.
