Chapter 814 Still Can't Be Changed
What makes Liu Lang really unable to laugh is not because the red army will embark on the bloody road full of hardships and hopes, reflecting tenacity and longing for a resurgence.
Rather, not only did he not stop the stubborn crushing of the ruts of history, but he still did not even change the fate of his grandmother when he was young. The young grandmother, who was far more determined to the ideals of the Red Party than Liu Lang imagined, made a decision that ordinary people find incredible.
On 8 October, Liu Xiang arrived in Chengdu from Chongqing, and on the 19th held a military conference on "suppressing bandits" in Chengdu, at which the bald boss allocated 2 million rounds of bullets, and on 22 October Liu Xiang was officially reinstated and continued to preside over the "suppression of bandits" military.
However, the eyes of the whole of China seem to have forgotten Sichuan. This is because, on 10 October, at a time when the Red Army in Jiangxi had suffered repeated setbacks but had not actually broken its bones, it decided to abandon the territory of Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, which had worked hard for several years, with a population of several millions, and carry out a strategic transfer of the whole army.
Nearly 90,000 people in the entire red troops, including the supreme command organs, the logistics organs, and then the subordinate units, left the base areas and quietly marched towards Xiangxi, while the bald bigwigs were still dreaming of gradually exterminating the two main forces of the red troops in Jiangxi and Sichuan by using the method of step-by-step.
It wasn't until October 16, when the Red Army crossed the Yudu River, that the bald man and his staff suddenly realized that the Red Army was about to retreat. After several years of hard fighting, from the first large-scale attack on the red zone to the fifth time now, the first four times were all losses and losses, this time, under the advice of the military advisers of the Third Reich, he did not pursue great results but only sought to compress the living space of the red troops, and finally achieved some results. But even the bald guy never imagined that his dream would come true so quickly.
You must know that the Red Army still has 100,000 soldiers to fight and hundreds of thousands of reserve soldiers, and even if you want to destroy them all, it will take at least two years.
However, in order to regain a company-level defensive position, they did not hesitate to kill an entire company, and the tenacious and almost desperate Red troops actually withdrew, leaving the base they had operated for several years, and took the initiative to withdraw.
This made the bald boss not even have time to laugh, but ordered all the troops on the front line not to act rashly, lest the red troops lure the snake out of the hole and bite off a piece of meat again.
In the past few years, the red troops have done this many times, and the entire division and regiment that they have eaten are not one or two, and even the rifles and machine guns they are holding now are mostly supplied by the government.
Yes, the bald guy was a little confused for a moment, and he couldn't understand why the red troops were withdrawing, and they were still withdrawing as a whole. But Liu Lang knew that this retreat was really not entirely due to the military defeat caused by the old man's being idle, and the entire red army militarily listening to the polar bear military adviser who only had military talent at the battalion commander level. There are as many as 780 percent of the 10 marshals, 10 generals, and 57 generals of the future republic, and they will eventually find a way to defeat the bald tycoons who have built bunkers step by step.
However, the brilliance of military genius could not stop the decline of the economy. Since the bald bosses adopted a step-by-step iron bucket policy, it has become more and more difficult to supply supplies from outside, and the red troops who cannot maintain the offensive can no longer obtain new sources of income. It is really difficult to feed an army of 100,000 people by relying on self-sufficiency in the base area alone, even if the common people are very supportive, and it is difficult to maintain their lives if they tighten their belts. For more than a year, the economy in the red base areas has continued to deteriorate.
Through this tragic lesson, the Red Army learned the importance of economic development, which played a very good role in drawing lessons for them to establish anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in the northwest, north China, Shandong, and southern Anhui in the future. But now, they have to accept the heavy consequences.
You have to leave, otherwise under the collapse of the economy, the 100,000 army has no provisions, what to do with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the bald boss? With broadswords and spears, they are not afraid, but the warriors can't just go hungry and fight!
The great transfer of the red troops, destined to shine in the sky of history, began. And Liu Lang's young grandmother, Comrade Yang Hongman, a girl with big pigtails, was originally protected by Liu Lang in Nanchang in the name of the liaison of the Chinese Business Group, even if the red troops began to transfer as they had in time and space, the four soldiers of the guard platoon of the Independent Regiment who were responsible for protecting her would bring her back to Sichuan.
Liu Lang was extremely sure of this, because in the half year after he left, the senior management of the Independent Group and the Huashang Group noticed his "special" concern for the red girl, and they increased their business efforts in Nanchang.
The so-called intensification of business is just a synonym for continuing to inject strength into Nanchang. Since there is investment, there must be an escort, and the escort team composed of recruits led by veterans who retired due to disability in the independent regiment has more than 100 people in Nanchang.
Even, under Xiao Fenghua's deliberate attention, the Independent Regiment sent a combat squad equipped with submachine guns to infiltrate Nanchang to protect the safety of the special father and daughter.
It can be said that even if someone perceives Yang Hongman's identity and wants to be unfavorable to her, nearly 200 armed forces can protect her from Nanchang City. This point was praised by Xiao Fenghua, who was in charge of intelligence work, without a trace after Liu Lang returned.
However, when he watched Xiao Fenghua gently put the information from Nanchang City on his table with a bitter face, Liu Lang's face suddenly became ugly.
Not only did the pigtailed girl not mean to continue to stay in Nanchang City, but the moment she received a secret message from the red army that she wanted the whole army to evacuate, she chose to go with them. Just like in the time and space of the past, he stepped on that road full of hardships and unknowns side by side with the old man of his youth.
It was also a miracle road.
I'm afraid she doesn't know that when she leaves, it's most of China!
From October 16, 1934, when the Red Army crossed the Duhe River in Jiangxi, to October 1936, when the three main forces of the Red Army successfully joined forces, the Red Army traveled from Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi, which lasted two years and traveled tens of thousands of miles, during which it went through countless fierce battles.
On average, there was an encounter almost once a day, and the march lasted 368 days, with most of the remaining 100 days spent in battle.
According to the statistics of Snow, a famous American journalist in the future, the Red Army climbed a total of 18 mountain ranges, 5 of which were covered with ice and snow all year round; crossing 24 rivers; through 12 provinces; Occupied 62 cities; Break through the encirclement of 10 local warlord groups, in addition to defeating or evading the pursuing Central Army. An average of 71 miles a day, and an army and its baggage to maintain such an average speed in one of the most precipitous areas on earth, cannot be described by any other word if it is not described as a miracle.
In the past, Liu Lang only understood how the Red Army walked into and walked out of that difficult road in old photos and recorded historical texts, or in the words of his own old man, but it was not very intuitive, and it was even difficult to have a big resonance.
But when he came to this era, he realized that the so-called hardships were really difficult to describe in case. The roads of this era are not either highways or concrete roads like the future, especially in the undulating mountains, if there is a dirt road for people and horses to walk, it is considered a good road.
The red soldiers of this era did not have any military boots and training shoes, and from the top to the soldiers, almost everyone was straw sandals. As for the legendary cloth shoes, it's good that they can travel 200 miles. Moreover, there are very few that can be had. Even at the moment of their death in battle, the cloth shoes that they cherished and were not willing to wear were still hidden on their chests, and in the end, they were stained red with blood.
But from the moment he saw the telegram, Liu Lang believed that even if he told her these things in advance, she would still choose like that! There, not only carries her life ideals, but also her love.
Liu Lang's eyes were full of bitterness, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, this was his grandparents in that time and space, their will, like their comrades-in-arms, was like steel.
Only a unit with such an iron will could fight the Japanese for eight years in that even more difficult era.
Since it was irretrievable, Liu Lang was also very calm, and ordered the four guards platoon soldiers and the combat squad of the independent regiment not to reveal their identities, and to follow and protect Yang Hongman from Nanchang to catch up with the red troops with the new identity that the Chinese business group had created for them a long time ago.
All weapons were not allowed to be taken out of Nanchang City, and the group went to Guizhou under the cover of the Chinese merchant group, where they would receive new weapons supplies.
There, too, they will surely catch up with the Red Army.
Because there, the old man finally won the command of the Red Army, and under the command of that genius military strategist, the Red Army really embarked on a road of phoenix nirvana rebirth.
Of course, what is more important is that Liu Lang does not want them to catch up with the most tragic battle that the red army has encountered in the strategic transfer of 10,000 miles.
It was a battle that brought tears to the eyes of countless red veterans decades later.
Liu Lang still remembers the tears left in the dry eyes of the old man who is over ninety, every special day.
