Chapter 1059: Sending the Buddha to the West (2)

"Oh my God...... It's really Comrade Li Xiaolong—"

"Comrade Huang Han, let's meet again-"

The two pairs of big hands held each other tightly for a long time, and the two tiger generals looked excited and burst into tears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xiaolong shook Huang Han's hand vigorously, his lips squirmed a few times, and said emotionally: "Comrade Huang Han, I have wronged you and the comrades of the Independent Division!" ”

Huang Han let go of his hand slightly, and shook his head again and again: "I, Huang Han, always believe in the party and the Central Committee!" ”

"Good, good!"

Li Xiaolong was extremely moved, turned to Liu Ziyuan, the political commissar who was trembling with excitement, stretched out his hands, and tightly held the big calloused hands:

"Comrade Ziyuan, I have wronged you! The vast majority of the comrades of the Independent Division of the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei Border Region who have filed a complaint have been repeatedly verified by the Central Committee and have found that there is no problem, and all of them are good comrades who have been wronged under the left-leaning erroneous line of the party, especially the situation of you, Comrade Huang Han, and Comrade Du Qiliang, deputy division commander, and I have clearly concluded in the rehabilitation document that you are all excellent commanders of our party and our army who can stand the test......

Liu Ziyuan was so excited that his eyes were closed, full of tears, he mechanically shook Li Xiaolong's hand and couldn't speak for a long time, the tiger general Du Qiliang, who was full of scars, suddenly turned around and squatted down, covering his bearded and thin face, and cried bitterly. Seeing that Li Xiaolong and the three members of the central special task force who came together were deeply moved, they sighed.

"Get up, get up for me! This is a great joy for our independent division, everyone should laugh, what kind of cat urine is flowing? ”

Huang Han scolded, and the whole hall immediately fell silent, and the commanders wiped away their tears embarrassedly, stood upright, and stood up straight like javelins one by one.

Huang Han sorted out his appearance, walked to Li Xiaolong, who sighed slightly, and said solemnly: "Comrade Xiaolong, and these three comrades, what are the instructions of the Central Committee, please just give orders, the 17,215 commanders and fighters of our Independent Division are ready to fight, as long as the Central Committee gives an order, you can set off!" ”

Li Xiaolong shook his head with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry!" Come on, Comrade Huang Han, let me introduce you, Lao Liu, Deputy Division Commander Du, you also come over, everyone meet, get to know a few comrades from the headquarters......"

……

At the enlarged meeting of the party committee held next, Li Xiaolong, on behalf of the party Central Committee and the Political Department of the Red Army, solemnly read out the documents specially issued by the Central Committee for the independent division of the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei border region.

Li Xiaolong then announced: According to repeated studies by the Central Military Commission and the Political Department, and in view of the actual situation of the independent division in the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei Border Region and the rapid changes in the situation, it has been decided to reorganize the independent division of the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei Border Region into the 20 th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, reorganize the original independent division into the 40 th and 41 main divisions, appoint Comrade Huang Han as commander of the 20 th Army, appoint Comrade Liu Ziyuan as deputy army commander and chief of staff, and await another appointment of the post of political commissar by the central authorities. Comrade Du Qiliang, former deputy commander of the Independent Division, served as the commander of the 40th Division, Comrade He Jingguo, former chief of staff of the Independent Division, served as the commander of the 41st Division, and the deputy commanders of each division were nominated and recommended by Army Commander Huang Han and Deputy Army Commander and Chief of Staff Liu Ziyuan, and the division's political commissar was appointed separately by the Central Committee.

Li Xiaolong solemnly handed over the appointment document to Huang Han with both hands: "Comrade Huang Han, before I came, the ** who had already begun to resume work specially came to me and let me tell you that the 20th Army is an excellent unit with a glorious historical tradition in our army, the first commander was Comrade Hu Shaohai, who sacrificed his life, and the political commissar was Comrade Deng Zihui, who is still remaining in the base area in western Fujian to lead the revolutionary struggle. The second commander of the 20th Army was Comrade Zeng Bingchun, who died unjustly in 32 years, and his experience was very similar to yours, but he was not as lucky as you, and the chairman said that when you were fighting together on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, you served as a staff officer in Comrade Peng Dehuai's regiment, and many of you fought side by side with the 20th Army, so you should know Comrade Zeng Bingchun with each other. The reinstatement of the 20 th Army and the merging of the 20 th Army into our First Front Army and its becoming the absolute main force show the earnest hope of the Central Committee and the Chairman for you and your comrades, and that the 20 th Army will become stronger and stronger with the efforts of you and your comrades, and that it will become a heroic unit of the Red Army that terrifies the enemy. ”

Huang Han was stunned in his heart, you must know that the expansion of the suppression and rebellion in the Soviet area began with the Red 20 th Army, and after the "Tomita Incident", countless commanders and fighters of the Red 20 th Army died at the guns of their own comrades. However, these thoughts can only flash in his heart, and at this time there can be no hesitation, Huang Han took the appointment document with both hands, and stood upright:

"Please rest assured that the Party Central Committee, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to the expectations of the Central Committee and the Central Committee, and will never disgrace the martyrs of the 20th Army!"

"Good! Congratulations to you, Comrade Huang Han, congratulations comrades! Li Xiaolong took the lead in applauding, and the audience burst into long-lasting warm applause.

The participating cadres and party members who were recognized by the ** Central Committee again did not have as many concerns as Huang Han, and at this moment it was like a new life, and their spirits were greatly boosted and their morale was like a rainbow. Everyone's faces were full of smiles, just like the prodigal son who had been away from home for many years and returned to his mother, feeling extremely warm and happy.

At the end of the enlarged meeting of the party committee, the commanders at all levels quickly brought back the spirit of the central instructions and conveyed them, the entire Zheng'an County was full of jubilation, and the soldiers who were recruiting troops in various villages and towns threw down everything and embraced each other excitedly, and the officers and men of the two main regiments outside the city rushed out of their positions, dancing with their hands, and flying into the sky with octagonal hats, and their faces were full of tears and laughter.

Accompanied by Huang Han and Liu Ziyuan, Li Xiaolong and others, who went out of the city to inspect the situation of the regiments, walked halfway and heard bursts of cheers from the bottom of their hearts and shouts of exhaustion, and could not help but feel a lot of emotion; from the various voices full of sincerity and gratitude, he deeply realized the strong cohesion and centripetal force possessed by this unit, and he was very clearly aware that this strong army, which had hardly lost a battle since its establishment, had deeply laid the brand of Huang Han and had a unique and distinctive style.

Li Xiaolong walked a few steps and saluted the soldiers along the way, looking at the neatly arranged and disciplined soldiers walking by in unison, Li Xiaolong suddenly felt a long-lost feeling sprouting in his heart, this feeling was so familiar, it made him think about it for a while-not bad! It is him, the stern and orderly body of the model battalion, and the toughness and simplicity of An Jiajun, this feeling has long been buried deep in Li Xiaolong's heart, and he will never forget it in this life, and he will not be able to linger.......

"Wait...... Commander Huang, you, this...... Why is there a machine gun in every platoon? And the platoon commander, the pistol produced by the Jiangnan Factory and the Xiangxi Factory will not be hung on his waist, right? ”

Officer Qin, who was walking behind, widened his eyes and exclaimed, standing there blankly pointing at a platoon of soldiers who had just walked over, and he was a little incoherent.

Liu Ziyuan's eyebrows fluttered, and he stopped and proudly introduced to Li Xiaolong, Secretary Qin, and others, who were very surprised: "That's right! Soon after its establishment, under the leadership of Commander Huang, our unit successively attacked the transport convoy of the Kuomintang elite unit Anjia Army, and seized three batches of weapons and equipment and a batch of as many as 30,000 sets of military uniforms.

"In this way, each of our regiments gradually has its own machine gun company, mortar company, and engineer company, and the rifle and machine guns in the hands of all officers and men of the whole army can be of uniform caliber, and the commanders above the battalion level are also equipped with short guns, and the commanders below the battalion level are personally willing to choose whether to barge guns or imitation American pistols.

"In the second half of last year, we fought side by side with Commander He's Second Army twice, and we also gave them a lot of equipment, haha! It's a pity that the batch of materials seized in Dazhong County last time was lost, including hundreds of bundles of gray military cloth, enough to equip a regiment of sapper shovels and other auxiliary materials, and Gu Changfeng, the bandit leader of the Anjia Army, led two divisions to suddenly touch the base area, we can only retreat decisively before the enemy surrounds us, and as a result, the batch of materials was distributed to the villagers in the base area, we are in a hurry, and we are not embarrassed to come back. ”

Several headquarters officials were envious, and Li Xiaolong's mind came to Gu Changfeng's cold and slightly evil face, as well as the half-cut tiger-headed knife handle exposed behind his back, and he couldn't help but sigh, and said quietly:

"Gu Changfeng is extremely powerful, during the model battalion period not long after the start of the Northern Expedition, I entered An Yi's model battalion at that time, earlier than Gu Changfeng joined, after playing the bronze drum, he led a group of bandits to join the model battalion, and then I worked under him for a few days, and I am very familiar with him. This guy is strong in martial arts, very cunning, experienced in studying under the famous martial arts masters, I heard that he cut off the head of the wicked man in the rivers and lakes at the age of sixteen, and made rapid progress after being recruited by An Yi, and was promoted to colonel after the end of the Northern Expedition, and was successfully promoted to major general after Chiang Kai-shek fought the Central Plains War.

"Especially in the North China War of Resistance, I heard that this guy led a division of the An Jiajun Army deep into the icy and snowy western Liaoning, and fought side by side with the Yang Jiuxiao Department of the Volunteer Army at that time, and the battle achievements were impressive, and the officers above the captain of the small Japanese wing committed suicide two, if it weren't for the fact that this person fought Nanchang in the early days of the Northern Expedition, he drew a knife in front of Chiang Kai-shek to kill the colonel medical officer who treated An Yi's injuries, which frightened Chiang Kai-shek, and was not liked by Chiang Kai-shek, I am afraid of his status today, By no means under Hu Jialin, the commander of the 17th Army of the Kuomintang ace army, who was stationed in the important areas of North China.

"You have to be careful when you meet him, this guy has never suffered a loss in war, he is very cunning and insidious, and he will fight to the death after he is calculated, as soon as the officers and soldiers of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang mention him, no one dares to say big things, which shows the ability of this Gu Changfeng."

Everyone thought so, and Secretary Qin sighed: "It's a pity, this An Yi is not used by me, if it is ......"

"Officer Qin, let's go, I haven't left the city to visit the soldiers yet, it's getting dark."

As soon as Li Xiaolong heard this, he immediately interrupted Secretary Qin's words, and when Officer Qin realized that he had lost his words, he immediately closed his mouth in amusement, lowered his head guiltily and followed behind.

After dinner, it was already dark, and Li Xiaolong and others walked to the backyard of the headquarters for a walk, still deeply shocked by the afternoon inspection.

The quality of the officers and men of the Huang Han army, the level of political education, and the level of training, etc., far exceeded the expectations of the central authorities; before they came, they had already overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Huang Han Army, but after seeing the excellent equipment of the officers and men, the level of fortifications, the arrangement of troops, and the setting of firepower points, they were all deeply shocked that this elite army was higher than the military quality of all units of the Red Army. Strict military discipline and high-level training and command are the cause.

In addition, the level of leadership and command of commanders at all levels left an extremely deep impression on Li Xiaolong and others, and several general officers privately commented that even in the heyday of each corps, no unit could compare with the well-trained and sophisticated equipment of the Huang Han Division, and now the three divisions together are not as many as his division, not to mention that most of these people are veterans with experience in several wars, and they also have such sophisticated equipment and sufficient ammunition.

The four of them walked around, returned to the back porch under the horse lamp, continued to exchange experiences, and after a while, they saw Huang Han and Liu Ziyuan coming happily, and the four of them hurriedly stood up to meet them, took the military supply cigarettes from the Syrian Mansion handed by Huang Han, lit the fire and smoked it.

Before everyone could say a few words, a rush of footsteps came, and the combat staff officer of the Independent Regiment, accompanied by Du Qiliang, ran up quickly and reported immediately:

"Report to the division commander, a squad of the reconnaissance company of the Independent Regiment encountered the enemy outside Sanjiang Town in the north, and the enemy fired first......

"What? How's that going? ”

Huang Han was startled, and everyone immediately gathered around.

"What the situation is has not yet been figured out, like the enemy is chasing a person who rushed to our position, a battalion on the position received the news of the reconnaissance company and quickly dispatched support to defeat the strength of a company of the enemy, after the enemy retreated, the reconnaissance company found a corpse wearing the uniform of an enemy major, before it had time to search carefully, the enemy's artillery fire came over without a brain, the second platoon commander of the reconnaissance company withdrew with the corpse, our regiment commander did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent me to report urgently, it is estimated that the matter is very important, our regiment commander did not dare to touch the corpse without permission...... I rode all the way back and didn't hear any more firefights. ”

The combat staff officer of the independent regiment, who was covered in mud and sweating profusely, finished speaking in one breath, and was so tired that he was panting.

Huang Han hurriedly tightened his belt: "Communicator, prepare the horse!" ”

Li Xiaolong hurriedly caught up: "Commander Huang, I'll go and have a look too." ”

"Good!"
