To say that the 15th Army Corps is actually the merger of the Red 25th Army of General Xu Haidong and the Red 27th Army of the Northern Shaanxi Base Area, the corps commander Xu Haidong, political commissar Cheng Zihua, deputy corps commander and chief of staff Liu Zidan, director of the Political Department Gao Gang, and deputy director Guo Shushen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info has jurisdiction over the 75th and 81st divisions. There are more than 7,000 people in the whole regiment. The first few times he beat the Northeast Army to lose four divisions in a row, which made Zhang Xueliang hesitate.

It's just that to the surprise of Xia Xinsheng and the others, judging from the reports of both sides, the results of several consecutive battles are good, but the strength of the 15th Army Corps has decreased instead of increasing. It can be seen that they do not adopt a pay-as-you-go approach. Moreover, in any case, one of the two armies must be dominant. This made Xia Xinsheng and them very incomprehensible, and the three of them simply let the troops start to make various preparations before departure, and Xia Xinsheng and the three of them came to the central station to meet the chairman.

The commander-in-chief had already handed over the eastern river defense to Commander Liu Bocheng to be in charge, and he had already rushed back to the central government. After Xia Xinsheng's report was approved, they entered the door, and the three great men were already waiting in the conference room. After the salute, everyone went straight to the topic without talking nonsense.

The chairman said: "The tasks have been issued, you don't lead the team to set off to meet us, I don't know if there is any difficulty?" ”

Xia Xinsheng stood up and said: "I think there are several problems that must be solved, first, Mr. Peng is leading his troops to fight fiercely with Hu Zongnan's troops, and our battlefield is far away. Although Mr. Peng's command ability is beyond doubt, I think it is difficult to understand the dynamics of the battlefield in time if the battlefield is too far away. In addition, as for our cooperation with the 15th Army Corps, they won such a great victory, and it was said that the troops should be greatly expanded, but the news we received was that the troops were seriously reduced. ”

The chairman said: "They don't have the experience of paying and making up for it, they can't make good use of the prisoners, and the previous policy of the central government is to unite the Northeast Army, so they just control the prisoners, and they don't ask for the next step." ”

Xia Xinsheng thought for a while and said, "But what about the command problem on our front line?" We are two independent troops, and we must have a unified command in order to coordinate well. Even if there is a lot of money, there is only one person in charge. Everything is discussed, and this battle cannot be fought. ”

The commander-in-chief laughed and said, "Or let the chairman guess, then who do you think is the right person to command?" ”

Xia Xinsheng thought for a while and said, "This, I am not familiar with the people of the Fifteenth Legion. Personally......"

The vice chairman smiled: "I think it's better for you to do it yourself, you are familiar with paying and making up for things, they have never done this." How to form combat power as quickly as possible, you have also practiced in Huizawa. ”

Xia Xinsheng panicked, this commanding the old general is not fun, and hurriedly said: "This is not a joke, let me be a little ghost to be the ......home of the old revolutionary."

The chairman waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid of changing generals, you talk about your ideas first, and we'll see if you have made progress!" ”

Xia Xinsheng Zhengse said: "If the Northeast Army wants to say that the training should be good, I estimate that the weapons and equipment are much better than most troops." Their weakness should be a morale issue. So are we learning from Hanshin? ”

The commander-in-chief asked, "You mean to come to an embattled?" ”

Xia Xinsheng stood up and said: "In fact, their biggest failure is to form a cavalry army to come to Shaanxi to fight a mountain war with us. There was simply no way to exert the might of cavalry. It's just that there are a large number of them, and if they want to be wiped out, they will be at most 30% sure. However, if the central government can equip us with more art troupes, I think it can rise to 50 percent, and if the art troupe can be in the northeast, it will be 80 percent conservative. If there are more political cadres, we should still be able to force the Northeast Army to retreat and drive one of the Zhongyang Army out of Shaanxi. ”

The chairman asked, "And how many political jobs do you want?" We are now short of cadres everywhere, and the central government has no way to give you more. ”

Xia Xinsheng thought for a while and said, "Of course, the more the merrier, but if we can let Luo Ronghuan come to us, this one is enough." ”

The vice chairman smiled: "After going around for a long time, you came around here to wait for us, you really know how to pick the time." ”

The chairman waved his hand and said: "Then give it to you, I am giving you 100 political work cadres, Comrade Chen Geng is a fierce general, and it is indeed a waste to use it as a political commissar, I think it is better to let Comrade Chen Geng be the deputy commander." That's all we have to offer. ”

The commander-in-chief put his finger up and emphasized: "This is a crucial battle that will affect the entire battle situation, and we can only win but not lose." Comrade Xia Xinsheng, now I can't help but be humble and polite, the 15th Army Corps has no problem winning the battle at present, but how to use the prisoners well still needs you to think more about it. ”

The three of them stood up and saluted, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”

The three of them bid farewell to the chairman and rushed to the Ministry of Military Industry with their troops. In the middle of the night, Liu Ding was called up from the bed, Minister Liu opened the door with his clothes on, and saw that it was Xia Xinsheng, and said angrily: "What are you howling in the middle of the night!" ”

The two of them didn't feel so polite after dealing too much, Xia Xinsheng spread his hands and said: "I'm here to ask for a debt, hurry up and call me out, I'll take it to the south to fight!" ”

Liu Ding was not ambiguous when he heard this, so he quickly got dressed and took the three of them straight to the warehouse, and dragged everything that could be used away by Xia Xinsheng. Xia Xinsheng was still not at ease, and saw three black things on the side, walked over and uncovered the covered cloth to see that the good guy's three waist-thick cannon barrels were tightly wrapped.

Minister Liu was in a hurry, and the old hen guard cub generally blocked the cannon behind him and said: "This is the flying thunder cannon we tried to make, we can't take it away, we still have to study it!"

When Chen Geng saw such a good thing, he was so hungry that his eyes couldn't move, and he pressed Liu Ding's horizontal arm and said: "Let's collect debts and repay whether you are useful or not, you can bring it first, or we will collect interest!" ”

Xia Xinsheng said leisurely: "I said Minister Liu, in fact, you don't want to be like this, you are studying a fart here, are you willing to give you something to shoot?" Have you thought about it, a dozen pounds of explosives are fed, can you afford to play? I don't think you might as well go with us and test it on the battlefield. What effect can't be seen? ”

Liu Ding was moved when he heard this, this weapon really can't even be tested in the rear, and it will be different when it comes to the front line, and the bullets used in the war are not so distressed. simply made a report to the central government overnight, and took a few people to join the Red Star Column. When he arrived, he also brought the fifty horse rifles that he had tried to make, so that Chen Geng and Xia Xinsheng laughed like old eagles.
