47. Mentors Across History (II)
Under the darkness of the night, several Red Army soldiers stood cautiously in a bamboo forest, looking at the noisy Changhua Town.
According to the general standards of the Chinese battlefield in this era, relying on the darkness of the night and the obscuration of the line of sight by the grass and trees, they have been well concealed.
However, in the screen of the full-color night vision device, they thought they were hiding very much, but in fact, they had already been exposed.
-- Relying on modern technology, Liliang has been able to turn the night into day in everyone's eyes.
ββ¦β¦ This is...... Local partisans? Or the main Red Army? Three talents and one gun? And it's really shabby! β
In the courtyard of a certain wealthy mansion that was requisitioned as a temporary headquarters, on a three-story wooden building with carved beams and delicate shapes, Wang Qiu asked with some confusion when he used a full-color night vision device to observe these Red Army soldiers in ragged clothes and only the red star on his hat could identify him.
-- In the "red TV series" he watched, the extras who played the Red Army were of course poorly dressed and rustic, with broken guns on their backs and straw sandals on their feet...... But at the very least, you can always mix a fairly neat gray military uniform, which has a little "regular army" style.
But what are the guys who appear on the screen now, what are they wearing? It's not even a hole, it's a strip of rag or a sack piece?
Moreover, among the three people seen in the night vision device, only one person was holding a rifle, and the remaining two were armed with ...... Bodal?
ββ¦β¦ Either way, these guys are frost-resistant. It's December winter! Even the Jiangnan water town is very cold! β
Cai Rong, who was standing beside him, also interjected - despite wearing a thick military coat. This Lori is still a little shrunken by the cold wind, and her vitality is not as abundant as usual. So looking at these Red Army soldiers dressed like Hanako, I was suddenly quite shocked.
ββ¦β¦ Whether these people were regular Red Army or local partisans. To be honest, I don't know. There may be people among the Kuomintang prisoners of war who know their details, but it is too late to inquire now. Professor Yang replied slowly, "...... So, we should get in touch with them as soon as possible. β
ββ¦β¦ Belch? Make your first contact now? We haven't even figured out where each other came from! Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
ββ¦β¦ If you don't hurry up now, it's too late! What should we do if the Red Tenth Army turned around and went west to southern Anhui as recorded in the history books? Continue to chase to Huangshan? Professor Yang asked rhetorically. β¦β¦ So we have to hurry up and not miss any opportunities! β
ββ¦β¦ Well, you have a point...... So who to reach? Wang Qiu spread his hands helplessly. β¦β¦ General Political Commissar Hu Dexing, who has the most suitable identity, is walking around the mountains with a group of underground parties in Changhua to help us find the Red Army! It's a pity that I haven't come back until now......"
ββ¦β¦ Comrade Wang Qiu, since you are the captain, it is now your turn to play the role of an exemplary pioneer of leadership! Senior Sister Ma Tong munched on a pizza. With a grin, she nudged him with her greasy fingers. ββ¦β¦ Please carry forward the style and sacrifice a little! β
ββ¦β¦ Yo! Now when you need to take an adventure, you remember that I am the captain? Wang Qiu was slightly stunned at first, and then glanced at Ma Tong with a nonchalant face, "...... Didn't you think of me as a fast food guy delivering food before, casually calling around? β
-- Complaining is complaining, but the matter of connecting with the Red Army is indeed urgent. Otherwise, any next jihua will not be able to expand.
However, although they are all under the banner of sickle and hammer. However, there is no trust between the two sides at all, so how can the purpose of engagement be safely achieved?
In Wang Qiu's view, this was a very risky thing -- he was not sure that the Red Army soldiers on the other side were all rational enough people.
For example, shortly after the Lugou Bridge Incident, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated for the second time in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Party Central Committee in Yan'an sent people to the southern provinces to contact the various guerrillas left behind before and after the Long March, and to restrain and reorganize them -- at this time, if Chiang Kai-shek was attacked again, it would become a sabotage of the War of Resistance, and the common people of the whole country would poke their backbones and be scolded as traitors -- as a result, the leaders of the red guerrillas in one base area were not well informed, their "vigilance" was too high, and they regarded people from the central government as witty Kuomintang spies. It was only after shooting five traffic officers in a row that he finally believed the central authorities' statement...... And this leader was not punished afterwards (because he soon died in the war of resistance) and became a martyr.
What is ridiculous is that the traffic officers who were unjustly killed by him also became the revolutionary martyrs of our party, and their names were engraved on the monument......
ββThere is no way, in the turmoil of war, all kinds of accidental killings and accidental injuries are inevitable, which dynasty and which generation does not have a few unlucky ghosts?
Even during the Korean War and the Iraq War, many American GIs who were killed by their own planes had nowhere to complain.
Therefore, for this seemingly simple, but actually very risky job, Wang Qiu, who is not very adventurous, felt very entangled for a while.
Of course, he also knew that the easiest way to solve this problem quickly was obviously to find a suitable helper to act as a substitute for the dead ghost.
Luckily, this practice seems to be very easy. After walking out of the headquarters, Wang Qiu only rolled his gaze slightly, and already saw a person who was very suitable to act as a substitute for the dead - she was playing a boring game of "eagle and chicken" with a group of children next to a campfire.
ββ¦β¦ Comrade Gu Mansha! In this regard, classmate Wang Qiu's eyes rolled, and the next moment he shouted to the female disciple of Political Commissar Hu Dexing.
The female "reserve political commissar" who was called by name, Gu Mansha, the former Shanghai beach dancer, turned her head to look at him in confusion, and found that Wang Qiu was standing at the door of the temporary headquarters and beckoning to her. So, Miss Gu Mansha, a rookie underground party comrade in this time and space, stopped and took out a handful of candy from her pocket. Sent all the children away, then got up and patted the dust off his body and ran to him. ββ¦β¦ Is there anything wrong, Comrade Wang Qiu? β
ββ¦β¦ Ahem, now there is an important task entrusted to you, Comrade Gu Mansha. Wang Qiu coughed a few times dryly, and said in an unskilled tone, "...... As you know, we left Shanghai. The main purpose of coming here was to find the Red Army and set off a new wave of revolution. And now. We finally found traces of the Red Army -- in the mountains and forests north of the town, less than a mile away......
-- At this point, he finally got to the point, "...... So. It's hard for you to go up the mountain for a run. Bring these Red Army brethren here. β
Under Wang Qiu's face-to-face order, although Miss Gu Mansha was still full of apprehension -- she naturally understood everything that Wang Qiu could think of -- she had no choice but to carry a sickle, hammer and red flag, and go up the mountain to find the Red Army while singing "The Internationale......
An hour later, she was strangled by a dagger by the throat by a vigilant and suspicious Red Army soldier, and returned to the town with a bitter face.
At the same time, in Yaoshan Township, more than 30 kilometers southwest of Changhua County. It was not easy to find the general political commissar Hu Dexing and the underground party of Changhua, who were camping in the 19th Red Division, and also to persuade Su Yu and Xun Huaizhou, two senior commanders and fighters. and to prove that he is not crazy, and has endured countless mental tortures...... Fortunately, an MP5 player given by Wang Qiu at the time of parting had a very intuitive persuasive effect at this time......
All in all, no matter how chaotic the process was, the two sides finally completed their first contact peacefully - congratulations, congratulations!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
On December 4, 1934, after a long period of mutual testing and exchanges, Xun Huaizhou and Su Yu finally led more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 19th Red Division out of the reckless mountains in northwest Zhejiang and arrived in Changhua County to join the "Chengguan Dogtooth International Column" from a century later.
And Wang Qiu also held a feeling of admiration, and in this remote mountain town, he met General Su Yu, who will be quite famous in the future.
-- Su Yu, young name Jiye, scientific name Duozhen, Ziyu, Hunan Huitong, Dong people. He is an outstanding modern Chinese military strategist, revolutionary, and strategist, the main leader of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the head of the ten founding generals of the People's Liberation Army. He once fought the miracle of "seven victories in seven battles between the Soviet Union and China" on the battlefield, and won the Menglianggu and Shanghai battles beautifully. His series of genius commands and outstanding strategic thinking in the later war of liberation made him one of the best generals in Shijie's modern military history, and he was also deeply admired and respected by the military circles of Shijie countries.
However, on the battlefield of gunfire, Su Yu is almost an undefeated god of war who can create miracles. But after leaving the battlefield, Su Yu's poor political consciousness and various stupid tricks made him offend a lot of generals and great men of our party, so that his evening scene was quite bleak.
In general, Su Yu is a very good professional soldier, but he is only a very good professional soldier and lacks the necessary political literacy.
Today, Su Yu, chief of staff of the Red Tenth Army Corps, who is only 27 years old, stands alive in front of Wang Qiu -- it was a bitter winter, the weather was freezing cold, and he was wearing three patched single clothes on his upper body, two tattered trousers on his lower body, two straw sandals of different colors on his feet, and an old bag of dry food with a broken foreign magnetic bowl in the bag. Aside from that hearty smile, it was difficult to associate him with the dignified General Su Yu in the old photo.
If it weren't for someone else's identification, Wang Qiu would never have believed that the sloppy homeless man in front of him was the famous General Su Yu!
In addition, Xun Huaizhou, the commander of the 19th Red Division standing beside Su Yu, is also a legendary figure in the early history of the Red Army.
-- Xun Huaizhou, born on August 29, 1912 in a poor peasant family in Liuyang County, Hunan Province, was frail and sickly when he was a child, and was still unable to stand and walk at the age of four. At the age of thirteen, when he was a student in high school, he set up the ambition of "doing something great with the country in the future", and actively participated in revolutionary organizations such as the Children's League, the Student Federation and the Peasant Association during the Great Revolution, participated in anti-imperialist and anti-feudal activities, and became a local student leader.
At the beginning of 1927, Xun Huaizhou joined the Chinese Communist Youth League. When the Revolution failed, in September of that year. Xun Huaizhou participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising and went to Jinggang Mountain with the rebel troops. Because of his bravery, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. He joined the Party in 1928 at the age of 16.
Subsequently, Xun Huaizhou was promoted from deputy squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander to the commander of the 100th Regiment of the 34th Division of the 12th Red Army in 1930 at the age of 18. Subsequently, he led his troops to participate in several anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations before and after, and made many military exploits. At the age of twenty-one, he became the commander of the Red Seventh Army and was elected a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic - a status roughly similar to that of the Politburo Standing Committee in modern China!
At this time, Xun Huaizhou, who was only twenty-two years old. When most of his peers in modern China were college students, they had already experienced six years of bloody battles on the battlefield and became the central officials of the Red Regime...... Such a rocket-like promotion speed can only be achieved in this cruel war years. will appear - anyone who is not capable or unlucky. All have long been eliminated in the brutal and fierce war.
If it continues to develop all the way like this, Xun Huaizhou, who can be called a genius of war, may be able to become a marshal after the founding of the country.
It is a pity that according to the original historical process, this 22-year-old general Xun Huaizhou will soon die in Tanjiaqiao in southern Anhui on December 14, thus ending his young life and becoming a name that has not been paid much attention to in the history of the party and the revolution.
As for the Red Nineteenth Division with them...... Well. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an army of ragged tramps. Since it has been a long time since he left the base area, there is nowhere to replenish the military uniforms and supplies. The officers and men of the Red Army could only wear whatever they wanted, and even draped blankets over their bodies, completely ignoring the question of the neatness of the army. In terms of visual effects and neat appearance, I am afraid it is not as good as the Roman legions that Wang Qiu and they saw in ancient Egypt.
However, it was such a tattered, rustic, and impoverished army called Huazi, a group of Tubaozi commanders who had no luxury or extravagance at all, and finally defeated all the domestic and foreign enemies of "high-end and high-grade", and became the supreme ruler of the land of China and the people of billions of trillions......
On the other hand, when Wang Qiu and other travelers were amazed at the youth of the leaders of the Red Army, the officers and men of the Red Army in this time and space were also shocked by this "international column" composed of "foreign comrades", especially the countless advanced ordnance in their hands.
-- In order to show their strong strength and facilitate the next cooperation negotiations, Wang Qiu and the others this time mustered up all their strength and put tanks, helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles, rocket artillery, and howitzers ...... There is also a "Mobile Suit Gundam" with a very bluffing appearance.
In the eyes of the Red Army soldiers, it was simply a rolling iron stream that could not be seen at a glance, and it could be called a foreign extravagance that was outrageous.
At this time, the Kuomintang also provided a target opportunity for the traversers to shoot -- at the same time that the Red 19th Division arrived in Changhua, the Central Air Force in Hangzhou again sent six bombers to prepare to attack the "Western Red Bandits" entrenched in Changhua. Unsurprisingly, they were all shot down by the traversers using man-portable anti-aircraft missiles, six of the Kuomintang pilots were charred in the explosion, and the other six were captured after a successful parachute jump.
So, looking at the Kuomintang planes that disintegrated in mid-air, and thinking of the embarrassment of being pursued and strafed by the planes in the past, the Red Army soldiers were completely convinced of the terrible combat effectiveness of these "foreign comrades" and that their countless ordnance and equipment were by no means good-looking.
-- Letting the other side see your strength is the first step to ensuring the success of the negotiation.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
As with most bilateral negotiations, the meeting began with a warm but meaningless greeting.
-- Although he had the guarantee and endorsement of General Political Commissar Hu Dexing, and the thousands of Kuomintang officers and soldiers in the prisoner of war camp outside the town, it also proved that these "future comrades" were definitely not a trap set by Chiang's bandit army -- not to mention that even Chiang Kai-shek did not have such high-tech advanced equipment...... However, out of the most basic vigilance, Su Yu and Xun Huaizhou's attitude towards these "future comrades" who appeared inexplicably was still very cautious.
Then, after a few polite words and some views on the current situation, before they could get down to business, it was noon, and the smell of food came from the backyard...... Wang Qiu simply beckoned everyone to go to dinner, and a group of people followed him into the backyard with great expectations.
Next, they were struck by the sumptuous meal and the strange cutlery - in the middle of the courtyard, two improvised field cooking vehicles in camouflage paint were parked. On the stone pier in front of the cooking cart, there is a row of huge iron buckets that are shiny enough to illuminate the human figure, and the aroma of food constantly wafts out.
Several "amateur chefs" in snow-white burqas and white cloth hats were standing behind the buckets and wielding long-handled spoons. A group of ragged Red Army soldiers were already lining up to eat, while many more who had finished their meals were crouching in the corners, spitting and gobbling up.
ββ¦β¦ Comrade Wang Qiu, what delicious food did you make for us today? So fragrant! Su Yu, who has always been self-cooked, immediately smiled when he saw this.
ββ¦β¦ Potato roast beef! Let the comrades of the Red Army enjoy the Communists in advance. Proletarian life!"
Wang Qiu replied, and at the same time picked up a shiny iron plate from the long table next to the cooking cart and stuffed it into Su Yu's handβSu Yu looked down and found that it was a large iron plate, boxy, and divided into several small grids, like an iron plate being pressed out of several small pits, and chopsticks were attached.
Next, the cook behind the cooking cart picked up a large spoon and scooped a large spoonful of vegetables from the bucket and placed them on Su Yu's plate, red and white mixed together: white potatoes, red beef, and a rich sauce poured on it, exuding a strong aroma that made people salivate.
Although I don't understand at all this potato roast beef with "altogether. What kind of relationship does there have between "proletarian life", but such a sumptuous meal still makes Su Yu feel amazed -- for the Red Army commanders and fighters of this era, being able to eat beef once is like the New Year.
ββ¦β¦ This...... How embarrassing is this, it's really wasteful to give all of us beef......" Su Yu said with some embarrassment.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome, the Red Army soldiers have worked hard from afar, and they always want to treat you to a meal of haode. Wang Qiu just waved his hand disapprovingly, and at the same time motioned for the chef to continue cooking, "...... According to the rules of our Chinese, no matter what we talk about, we will eat first! β
In addition to the roast beef with potatoes, the other buckets were filled with seaweed shrimp skin soup, stewed radish and white rice, which added up to a simple working meal - of course, for the Red Army of this era, it was already a rare feast. After scooping up the dishes, most of the Red Army soldiers had to sit on the floor with their plates due to the lack of sufficient tables and chairs. But the sumptuous meals and delicate stainless steel tableware still made them happy.
In short, after a hot meal that is rich in oil and water, delicious and delicious, the relationship between the two parties suddenly seems to be much more harmonious.
However, when some key cooperation issues are mentioned, conflicts between the time-travelers and the Red Army in this time and space are still inevitable.
ββ¦β¦ Comrade Wang Qiu, I am very aware of your great strength, I am very grateful for your kindness and help, and I am very willing to believe in your origin -- although this sounds incredible, it is the only reasonable explanation...... But that doesn't mean we can do what you do! β
At the conference table, Master Xun Huaizhou knocked on the table with his fist and said angrily, "...... We are revolutionaries who fight for our ideals, not thugs hired by landlords and old money! Since you are our descendants, you should know that our Red Army is a party army and is disciplined! β
-- Because they did not expect the Red Army generals to be so disciplined, remained unmoved in the face of the temptation of arms and material aid, and insisted that all military operations must be instructed by the central authorities, the traversers, who were accustomed to spending money on cannon fodder, suddenly became succumber...... Fortunately, they have a backup plan.
ββ¦β¦ It seems that we can't negotiate, so we have to find a more professional person to do it. Wang Qiu lamented, "...... Let Sonia ...... No, let's let Colonel Ihonovsky do me a favor! Turn the two comrades into werewolves so that they can be teleported into our shijie and talk to our party! (To be continued......)
