Chapter 1051 back to the carbine

The snow that drifted overnight turned the thousands of ravines in the hinterland of the Wuling Mountains into a piece of silver white. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When dawn comes, the snowflakes slowly stop, and the sun that has not been seen for more than ten days warms the remote and quiet mountain village through the gap between the two high mountains in the east.

The name of the mountain village is Longxi, which is one of the three base areas painstakingly operated by the Huang Han Red Army, and the name of Longxi Village is actually larger than several towns outside the mountain in terms of population and the size of the four almost connected villages.

Longxi is located 28 kilometers south of the west of Qianjiang County, and 46 kilometers north of Lianhu Town, which was attacked by Gu Changfeng's An Jiajun four days ago. Longxi is not far from the county seat of Qianjiang, east of Xianfeng County of Hubei Province, west of Pengshui County, south of Youyang County, north of Lichuan City, Hubei Province, is the junction of Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces and cities, known as "Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei throat", is also a well-known three regardless of the zone.

Accompanied by political commissar Liu Ziyuan and deputy division commander Du Qiliang, Huang Han slowly walked to a long thatched hut on the edge of Longxi, discussing various information in the past three days as he walked.

The shed in front of it is built by the enthusiastic work of every household in the four local villages, and the Longxi water is naturally distributed along the foot of the mountain, which is far warmer than it looks on the outside, between the thick log pillars, there is a dense thick wooden plank wall, and in each of the barracks that is spaced out, there is a fire pit for heating and making a fire like every household, and on the simple triangular stove built up randomly with mountain stones is a marching pot, and the delicious broth in the pot exudes an attractive fragrance in the vigorous flames.

On the five-meter-wide stream, there are single-plank bridges, all of which are cut down and laid horizontally, and each wooden bridge is guarded by a heavily armed soldier wearing a gray cotton jacket.

The sentries standing at the head of the bridge saw the division commander, political commissar and deputy division commander walking slowly, and they had already puffed up their chests and were ready to salute, but the three of Huang Han stopped at the rooting stone more than ten meters away from the bridgehead, handed each other cigarettes and lit fires, and continued to discuss in a low voice, it seemed that they would not come over for a while.

The sentry thought about it, and hurriedly squatted down to pick up a stone, threw it casually, and smashed it on the water in front of the secretary who was washing vegetables.

"Can you confirm that the main force of the 24th Army has withdrawn?"

Du Qiliang still asked again with some unease, Gu Changfeng, the bandit leader's speed and ruthlessness, made him remember it vividly, he had always thought that his troops were the best at running, compared with He Huzi's troops, his regiments were more than one or two points stronger, but after the crisis four days ago, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the An Jiajun was far beyond his estimate.

Originally, Du Qiliang was also very unconvinced by Huang Han's praise of the military ability of the An Jiajun, and from time to time he said a few words to Huang Han, after the first contact four days ago, he was completely convinced, if he hadn't strictly complied with Huang Han's orders, reluctantly gave up the materials that had been snatched back to the mountains with great difficulty, and retreated quickly, I am afraid that even the two main regiments he led would not be able to come back, especially the accurate marksmanship of the An Jiajun, and the accurate discrimination ability of the officers and soldiers of the An Family, so that Du Qiliang still has lingering palpitations. If his guards weren't wearing steel helmets, they wouldn't have been as simple as lying on the bed with their heads wrapped around and humming now.

The bearded political commissar Liu Ziyuan nodded: "That's right, it was withdrawn, the information sent back by our intelligence officer hidden in Syria is very clear, and it is reported that An Yi has returned to Syria, and all officers above the division level of the Anjia Army held an emergency meeting, and Gu Changfeng, who replaced Liu Xiang's command, also appeared in Syria with An Yi."

"In addition, in the news at eight o'clock last night, the South Sichuan Radio Station was very worried about the threat posed by the main force of our Central Red Army and the Second Front Army of He Huzi, and not only mobilized the whole people to be on alert, but also reported the news that our three regiments attacked the defenders outside Xianfeng City, asserting that the main force of our army had once again entered the border area between Hunan and Hubei. From this point of view, there is no need for the three divisions of the An Jiajun to continue to stay in eastern Sichuan, and what they want to keep is their old nest in southern Sichuan, and it is normal for them to leave eastern Sichuan and withdraw to deploy defenses. ”

"Damn, that's a really fast run......"

Du Qiliang, who had a thin face, rubbed his nose that was red from the cold, shook his head and cursed, and then stomped his feet to get closer to Huang Han and the two again:

"There's something I can't say when there are a lot of people, now let's be brothers, I won't say it's unpleasant, if Gu Madman's troops are really like what our reconnaissance company reported, wouldn't it become the same troops as us?"

Liu Ziyuan let out a long sigh: "Alas, I was also confused, it seems that the 'model battalion spirit' of this An Jiajun is not blown out, they are really consistent in words and deeds, and their relationship with the common people is like fish and water." A division of the Anjia Army occupied our Lianhu base area for two days and one night, and did not kill a single person indiscriminately, did not coerce the villagers, did not go into any house to sleep and make trouble, and before leaving, repaired the dangerous bridge in the north of the town, and repaired the two houses that were blown down by them in the rain, and the division commander also personally came to the door to apologize, leaving ten oceans before leaving. As for the seizures, they only carried away the shells, and distributed all the large quantities of materials that we could not hide to the villagers, and even valuable materials such as sapper shovels and military shoes were also distributed to each family.

"To be honest, such an army, I really don't know how to characterize, even the villagers in Lake Town are all confused, we have been preaching the brutality of the Kuomintang army in the past, but after the division of the An Jiajun entered, not only did not commit any crimes in the autumn, but also did a lot of real good things, so that the villagers got benefits, the villagers must now begin to doubt our political propaganda, how should we explain it when we go back? What a headache! ”

Huang Han kept touching the hard stubble on his chin, and there was no good way for a while: "This situation is very unexpected and very special, but let us run into it." In the past, when I was in the central base area, I heard many times that An Yi's troops possessed the 'model battalion spirit', and since the Northern Expedition, they have been strictly implementing the 'Whampoa spirit' of the founding period of the Whampoa Military Academy. The original Northern Expeditionary Force was jointly established by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and almost all the political propaganda measures were formulated by our ** organization, and only An Yi's troops persisted consistently, and almost all the other Kuomintang troops faded. But let's just meet An Jiajun, what can we do? ”

"But...... Then we have to give a reasonable explanation to the villagers in the base area of Lianhu Town, right? Otherwise, if the villagers ask you why the Kuomintang troops are not as bad as your Red Army says, how will you answer? "Liu Ziyuan is a very serious person.

"Yes! How do you explain it? Du Qiliang also scratched his head.

Huang Han threw away the cigarette butt helplessly: "How else can you explain it?" This kind of thing has to be said realistically, we must not fool the people, we must not do things to deceive the people. My opinion is that if I tell the villagers the truth, I will say that only the An Jiajun in the Kuomintang army is like this, and the others are ...... This is also not appropriate, this is the first time that the Kuomintang army has entered the Lianhu base area, and almost all the people in the eight villages of ten miles have seen the Kuomintang army for the first time. ”

The three of them were all worried, squatting by the cold wind and squeezing by the stream, and sighed, at a loss in the face of the problems they encountered for the first time on the road of revolution. If there is a war, it is fine, and when the gun goes off, there will be no worries, but this belongs to the category of political ideology, and it cannot be solved by fighting a war. The common people are really very, most of them only believe what they see with their own eyes, and they know in their hearts who are good to them, and they cannot be easily persuaded by a few slogans and a few words of mobilization.

The independent regiment commander and several battalion commanders stood on the other side of the single-plank bridge, and when they saw that Huang Han and the three of them were nervously discussing, they all squatted down, obviously encountering some problems, and no one dared to come forward to disturb them at this time, so they could only watch from a distance and be anxious.

In the end, it was political commissar Liu Ziyuan who made up his mind, stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, it's no big deal, let's say whatever we want, whatever the villagers ask, we will answer truthfully, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, what we have done for more than a year has not been recognized by the villagers, just because An Jiajun's troubles have damaged our image and reputation." As long as you speak clearly and realistically, the villagers will let go of the knots in their hearts. ”

"That's what you say, but how do you ask the comrades below to explain?" Du Qiliang is still worried.

"How to explain it? Good explanation! ”

Liu Ziyuan approached Du Qiliang: "Directly speaking, An Yi and our division commander were originally classmates at the Whampoa Military Academy, and the ** regiment commander of our Red Army was also a classmate, and they all embarked on the revolutionary road together under the education of Secretary Zhou, Nie Political Commissar and other leaders, therefore, this An Yi's army is different from other armies of the Kuomintang, most of the officers and soldiers of this army come from poor families, and many of them are poor children who were displaced here by the disaster a few years ago, so they know the hardships and sufferings of the common people. It did not oppress and harm the common people like other Kuomintang troops, and was the best unit in the Kuomintang army. ”

Du Qiliang nodded with relief: "It seems that it can only be like this, but if the people ask how such a force can fight with our Red Army?" How to answer? ”

Huang Han spoke: "This is easy to do, let's just say that An Yi, the commander of the An Jiajun, is confused for a while, we are doing his ideological work, and win him into our revolutionary ranks, this is not my blind break, but a big issue that the Central Committee is discussing recently, I heard that the work has been officially carried out in the Guizhou Guizhou Army, and An Yi is an important object that the Central Committee is trying to strive for."

"Anyway, don't hide it, don't underestimate the villagers who don't have much knowledge, several families in the village, such as the rich peasant Qi Lao Liu, are all in and out of business all the year round, and they have also supported our Red Army very much this year, and got back a lot of important information about the surrounding counties for us, people like him, it is impossible not to have heard of the achievements of the An Jiajun in resisting Japan and the British, and it is impossible not to have heard of An Yi's name, maybe the villagers in the base area have already spread it secretly, if we still want to continue to fool the villagers, not only can we not stay in this Hunan and Hubei borderI am afraid that our entire Red Army and our entire Party will suffer a loss of honor because of this. ”

"Yes, I support the opinion of the division commander!"

Liu Ziyuan agreed very much, and Du Qiliang also nodded frequently.

Huang Han glanced at the battalion commanders of a group of regiments who were stamping their feet in the cold on the other side of the single-plank bridge, turned to Liu Ziyuan and Du Qiliang, and said in a low voice: "Hold a military meeting in the independent regiment later, and Qiliang will be responsible for the pre-war preparations." Lao Liu, after the military meeting, you should immediately convene an enlarged meeting of the party committee at or above the level of instructors, and all the party members and comrades of the peasant association, the Red Guards, and the women's association in the base area should be present as observers, report the situation truthfully, and tell everyone the decision of the three of us, and only by unifying our thinking can we act in a unified manner, and tonight our main force must be stationed in the Lianhu base area, and the day after tomorrow will be a three-day continuous attack and fierce battle, and there will not be much time for us to delay. This time, we must kill him with a horse pistol, show morale and confidence, and make full confidence accumulation and material preparations for going south. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Ziyuan and Du Qiliang replied in unison.
