At two o'clock in the afternoon on the fourth day of the child's month, Ruijin Yeping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Hundreds of Red officers and soldiers dressed in gray cloth uniforms and octagonal hats were scattered among the green trees around the old ancestral hall with blue bricks and gray tiles. Sticking out his head and looking up at the weather, his expression was extremely complicated. Some people are angry, some are confused, and more are puzzled and thinking.

Beginning at 9 o'clock in the morning, various types of planes of the Kuomintang army frequently appeared in the skies over the entire Ruijin area, and batch after batch of low-flying enemy planes did not drop bombs or strafe them, and the density of planes was frighteningly high at noon. There were no less than fifty sorties, often two or three enemy planes in a group with a sharp roar. The formation flew low and slowly over the town and the surrounding villages and towns, and the Red officers and men who escaped from their houses and hid in the cracks in the broken walls and stones could even see the numbers of the planes and the silhouettes of the pilots, and the number of enemy planes slowly decreased until one o'clock in the afternoon, but a group of planes would arrive every hour or so.

Under the lush big grid tree at the entrance of the village, the commander of the Red Fourth Army** stood on the edge of the broad canopy, calmly looking up at the departing plane, without saying a word, the political commissar Nie Rongzhen beside him retracted his gaze and was puzzled

"It's strange, from the morning to the present, the enemy planes have not stopped, the number is so large, flying so low, unprecedented, what is even more strange is that not a single plane of all sizes dropped bombs and strafed, not even a leaflet, could it be that Lao Chiang sent us to review?"

** smiled, and said thoughtfully with a deep gaze: "In connection with the large-scale movement of the enemy army that began yesterday afternoon, and the sudden appearance of the nearest Gongyu Division, I am afraid that the seriousness of the matter is far beyond our estimates. I have been wondering if Chiang Kai-shek, who was in the field, took advantage of the chaos of the newly established Wang Chingwei government in Nanjing, taking advantage of our carelessness and the rare winter break, to suddenly start a long-planned campaign? However, today's intelligence shows that it seems that the 11 enemy divisions in the east, west, and north directions did not have a normal overall coordination and action at all, but instead seemed to be doing their own thing, fighting their own battles.

Although the enemy's troops gathered heavy troops on all sides and advanced more than 10 kilometers to dozens of kilometers to our base areas, even Jiang Dingwen's Ninth Army, which had not long entered the area on the border and had never fought with our army, suddenly broke into the four counties and areas of the northeast and southeast of Jiangxi with astonishing determination and degree. There are also Chen Cheng's department in Ji'an and Zhu Shaoliang's department in Ganzhou. Large-scale sorties almost at the same time, such a situation has never been encountered before, it is puzzling! ”

"What's the news on Secretary Zhou's inside line?" Nie Rongzhen pondered and asked again.

** Shaking his head: "There is no useful news at present, the Shanghai and Nanjing intelligence stations called back last night and said that they had no knowledge, and even the high-level military and political positions of the Kuomintang Central Committee did not know what was going on with this big Hao Ermo military operation." He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs and Commander-in-Chief of the Suppression, was holding a meeting in Shanghai, and according to the secret telegram, He Yingqin was very surprised when he heard the news. Now, just waiting for the report from our own Nanchang intelligence station, maybe the comrades in Nanchang can report the exact news on time. ”

Li Xiaolong trotted over. Salute in front of the two people: "The army commander, political commissar, chairman, boss and secretary Zhou are here, in order to prevent possible bombing by the enemy, the meeting was held under this big banyan tree." ”

**After returning the salute, he glanced at the more than a dozen central leaders and more than 20 army generals who were striding from two directions, nodded and asked in a low voice: "What is the situation in the west and northwest of Donghua?" ”

"All the Ran telephones reported that the frequency of enemy aircraft had decreased, and the Gongyu Fan Division opposite the two main regiments of the 1st Division had fled back to Yihuang, and the various defensive lines of our army had once again calmed down, and there was no abnormal situation. The deputy officers and political commissars of all regiments of our division were concentrated at the headquarters of the independent regiments and regiments on the front line due north, closely monitoring the enemy, and holding a meeting to analyze the battle situation

After Li Xiaolong finished answering, he remembered something and immediately added: "Li Desheng, the enemy pilot who was captured yesterday morning, has been safely sent to Donghua, considering that the commanders are holding a meeting here, and the various departments of our army in Ruijin City are making intense pre-war preparations, I thought about it again and again, and asked the army commander and political commissar for instructions, but everyone was avoiding enemy planes, so I had to report to Director Luo Ruiqing of the Security Bureau for consideration, and Director Luo suggested that the prisoners be escorted to Donghua and handed over to the Political Department of our division and the 28th Regiment for temporary guarding and reform

"Li Desheng? How is it the same as the pseudonym used by the chairman? What a coincidence, haha! Nie Rongzhen made a joke. Yin's advertising ** laughed rarely: "Maybe it's a pseudonym, maybe anything can happen this year" Xiaolong, your thoughts are safe, your approach is correct, what are you worried about? Walk. Greet the boss and the chairman together, it seems that this meeting will not know when it will be. ”

Li Xiaolong nodded and followed the two of them to meet him.

Ten minutes later, two rows of long tables and more than a dozen stools were placed under the big lattice tree shaped like a giant umbrella, and a large military map of Jiangxi was hung on the trunk of the big tree.

After Chief of Staff Chen Qihan briefed the participants on the military situation, there was a lot of discussion at the meeting. Opinions were very divided, and more than two hours had passed since each of them had expressed their judgments in order. There was no intense discussion, and the sun was slowly turning westward.

As a result of the prevalence of the erroneous ultra-left line and the remote command of the international leadership organs thousands of miles away, the chairman's position was gradually squeezed out and greatly weakened, and the correct guidelines summed up by the Soviet Red Army for several years were criticized. On the contrary, the strategic idea of "attacking big cities and taking the lead in completing the revolutionary war from one province to several provinces," which is eager for quick success and quick gains and extremely incompatible with the actual situation, has prevailed, and the chairman has argued on several occasions on the basis of reason. In the past few days, a number of important leaders of the central authorities who have come to the Soviet area have also erroneously and rudely proposed:

In order to alleviate the work pressure of the chairman and take care of his sick body, the chairman was "suspended" from the work of the Military Commission, and he only had to devote himself to the management of civil affairs as chairman of the Soviet. Therefore, although the President was present at this emergency meeting, he did not say a word or express any opinion from beginning to end, but only smoked silently, listened calmly and quietly, and did not comment on everything that was said at the meeting, even if it was a very naïve opinion and sensational judgment, and the Chairman only glanced at the speaker.

Lengthy meetings led to intense discussions, with many disagreements mixed with a lot of unbridled judgments, making the meeting fruitless.

Secretary Zhou raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Turning to Mr. Zhu beside him, he discussed a few words in a low voice and announced the adjournment of the meeting, so that everyone could finish the meal as soon as possible and continue the meeting and discussion in the large conference room of the ancestral hall.

The crowd 6 continued to stand up and walk towards the village. The chairman sat on the bench and had no intention of leaving, smoking silently and thinking quietly.

Falling on the crowd of the old... Fierce ** and Li Xiaolong went to Xin Xi's side and stood quietly, Xin Xi raised his head and pointed to the stool opposite:

"If you want to say anything, sit down and say, it's okay to eat later, I guess this meeting will be held until tomorrow morning."

** sat down with Li Xiaolong with a wry smile, ** reported the details of the abnormal movement of the Kuomintang army and the numbers of each division and brigade to the chairman who had not received first-hand information, and finally said worriedly:

"Chairman, I don't know the bottom of my heart, now the central government has asked for a plan to attack Ganzhou, and yesterday I asked for my opinion again, but I didn't express my position. It only raised a question: the total strength of the enemy army in Ganzhou was 11,000 men, the city was high and the walls were thick, and the territory was open, and if it could not be defeated within three days, it might encounter enemy reinforcements and fall into a bitter battle. ”

"I see! Although your expression is euphemistic, the meaning is the same as mine: the enemy's reinforcement is not terrible, what is terrible is the wrong tactics carried out under the wrong guiding ideology, what has we relied on in the past few years to develop and grow? Isn't it a set of effective methods summed up with blood and sweat that are especially suitable for the current situation of our Red Army? I also want to fight in big cities, and I want to go shopping in Nanchang City and old Nanchang. How many years haven't I been? I heard that it is not what it used to be, and it is extremely prosperous! But is it okay? At least not under the current conditions! Let's just say that there were two encounters today, and under the same conditions, your Red Fourth Army also paid the price of more than 500 casualties, although our army has a firm conviction. With great fearlessness, he killed more than 200 enemies, captured a batch of weapons and brought back nearly 500 prisoners. But we can't stand this kind of consumption. It's just an encounter, what if you gather a massive force to attack it and fight an equally well-armed enemy? Now this sudden situation is very strange, we can't hear it with our ears, we can't see it with our eyes, and even the opinions within the supreme command organ are all varied. Whose heart has the bottom? How to explain the abnormal enemy planes that began to fly in the sky yesterday afternoon and this afternoon? Everyone knows that Sun Ziyun knows that his confidant is invincible, but this is easier said than done! The chairman said worriedly.

Nodding: "Yes!" Now I can't even "confide in myself, let alone talk about it," I always feel that there is a problem with the CMC's recent policy decisions and direction, but I don't know where the essence of the problem is, and I am very confused, and Comrade Rong Zhen also has this opinion, and Xiaolong has reported the same opinion to the CMC and the political conference several times, but it has also been exchanged for serious criticism. "Yin・'The chairman of the advertisement turned to Li Xiaolong and nodded appreciatively: "Xiao Li is a person with the ability to think independently. He has also been engaged in military, political, and intelligence work, and has both practice and theory, which is rare to have such rich experience. I won't say much else, I just want to ask Xiao Li, what do you think of the abnormal situation in the past two days? ”

Li Xiaolong hesitated for a moment, and replied cautiously: "I'm still very confused, it's too abnormal, my mind is turning over and over, one hypothetical after another emerges, and it will be overturned after a while, it would be good if I could get the information of Nanchang, after all, the Kuomintang is always in Nanchang, and the intelligence of Nanchang is the most worth looking forward to." But until now, I haven't received any news, and there is no movement in the newspaper, which is very abnormal, I am worried that there will be an accident at the Nanchang Station where our military headquarters has been established for several years? Anxiety! ”

The chairman nodded and turned to **: "What about you?" ”

**Looking at the remnant sun on the horizon: "I'm ready for the worst, if the estimate is good." It is likely that a big war is coming, and Chiang Kai-shek has no shortage of excellent generals around him, but what he lacks is excellent executors and firm beliefs, this time. Could it be Chiang Kai-shek bypassing the Kuomintang Central Committee. What about a sudden large-scale attack?

"Well, can't rule this out, probably."

The chairman nodded with a smile: "But we also have to look at the current situation around us, according to what you told me on the Internet, if it is Chiang Kai-shek's large-scale sudden plan, there should not be the blindness of the Kuomintang departments going around and fighting their own battles. And although they mobilized more than a dozen divisions, none of them had a clear direction. That is to say, it is tantamount to telling us that they do not have a clear strategic goal at present, and how can this battle be fought without a goal? It is not excluded that the enemy will confuse us by feints. But such a global large-scale feint and confusion. Is it possible? Doesn't that create loopholes everywhere? Isn't there a hidden danger everywhere that gives us an opportunity?

These issues should be taken into account. If my estimate is correct, it is likely that the enemy will not have any further offensive actions, otherwise he is not afraid that our army will gather forces to pick them up one by one? In the past few years, they have lost a lot of money, so they should learn to be smarter than before! ”

** nodded heavily: "The chairman's words are very reasonable!" When I think about it again, it seems like I feel something,"

"Don't worry, think about it slowly, such a large-scale movement of the enemy has indeed scared many of us, and the paper tiger also has three points of power! Let's go back to dinner first. I will have a good talk at the next meeting, and if necessary, I will also explain my opinion to you, how I am still a member of the Military Commission, or the chairman of the Soviets, and since it is a democratic conference, I also have the right to speak! Let's go, let's go back together. ”

The chairman stood up and walked back side by side with the two men. took a few steps and asked Li Xiaolong in a low voice: "Xiao, Li." I heard that Xiao Lu of the 28th Regiment Teaching Team was very remarkable, and he used a broken light machine gun to shoot down one of the enemy's planes, and successfully captured the enemy's pilot, right? ”

Li Xiaolong smiled: "Yes, Chairman." Xiao Lu modestly said that the lottery was hit, haha! The pilots have been sent to the 28th Regiment at the foot of Donghua Mountain. It is estimated that he will be temporarily detained in the production base next to the creek behind the regiment headquarters. Several times before, there was also an educational adaptation of prisoners there.

"Hmm. Terrific! I am not proud of my great achievements. This Xiao Lu is very good, after the meeting, I also want to meet the pilot when I have time, chatting can increase a lot of knowledge, and we must keep pace with the times and continue to improve. The chairman smiled lightly.

Li Xiaolong immediately agreed: "Okay, when the chairman is free, I will accompany the chairman." If it weren't for the chairman personally talking to Comrade Wang Zheng, caring for him, and treating him with great courtesy, there would be no Wang Zheng today, and our headquarters would not have achieved today's achievements in communications construction. ”

The chairman smiled and waved his hand slightly: "I have won the award, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, I believe that as long as you treat each other with sincerity and treat people equally, everything is easy to do."

Xiao Li, after this personnel adjustment, you have to shoulder a heavier burden, and no matter what you do, you must be thoughtful and meticulous and consider many aspects. In the past few years, you have experienced it, and your personality is not as sharp as it used to be, and you are a lot more mellow and humble, which is very good! People, always slowly realized in the tempering of the years"
