"Regiment Commander, Mr. He called us and asked us to rush back to Sangzhi to hold a meeting of the Red Army's Second Front Army," political commissar Guan Xiangying hurriedly walked into the headquarters with the telegram.
"Well, notify Director Li and the division commander to come for a meeting." Liu Hua looked at the telegram handed over by the political commissar.
Soon the main leaders of the Seventh Red Army came to the headquarters in a dusty manner. Liu Hua saw that everyone had arrived and walked to their positions.
"Comrades, the political commissar and I are going to Sangzhi for a meeting in the next few days. All affairs of the Seventh Red Army will be managed by Director Li Qing. Also, this time we captured many soldiers of the Hubei Army, and we must be good at capturing them.
Let them join our team as much as possible. When I come back from the meeting, I will ask the three main divisions to reach their full strength of 5,000 people, and the new corps must also be fully staffed. Do you have the confidence, comrades?"
"Yes," several division commanders stood up and said neatly.
"Well, okay, that's all I have to say today. The remaining specific tasks will be arranged by the political commissar." After saying that, he sat down.
…
Soon, the legion meeting was over, and Liu Hua, Guan Xiangying, and Li Qing stayed behind.
"Political Commissar, Director Li, I estimate that the main purpose of this meeting is to target the enemy's winter encirclement and suppression of us. I estimate that we will have another big battle this time, so, Director Li, we must hurry up during this period.
It’s time to train the troops and reserve supplies. Aren’t there many enemy garrisons and county towns near us? Just allocate a regiment from each division to train troops in turn, and get me some more supplies and ammunition. Although Mr. He’s side is also
We won the battle, but I don't think we captured that much. I plan to hand over most of the captured ammunition and supplies, and we will have to rely on ourselves for supplies. Political Commissar, Director Li, what do you think?" After speaking, Liu Hua looked at
To his two old partners.
"Regiment commander, I agree, but in terms of numbers we..." the political commissar looked at Liu Hua. Director Li Qing also looked at Liu Hua and nodded in agreement with the political commissar's point of view.
"Okay, let me tell you my data first: We will keep all the mortars. Each regiment will strengthen an artillery platoon with four mortars. We will bring 36 heavy machine guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and 5,000 rifles.
150 light machine guns, 6 million rounds of ammunition, 12 mountain artillery pieces, we left one mountain artillery battery with equipment, 5,000 mortar shells, 5,000 mountain artillery shells, and 500,000 kilograms of grain. You, you?
Let’s see how it goes.”
The two thought for a moment and nodded. "We are bringing 50 machine guns and 40,000 grenades," the political commissar continued.
Soon, several people all reached an agreement.
Early the next morning, Liu Hua took all the supplies and the guard camp to Sangzhi. Since the baggage needed to be protected along the way, a few of them did not ride wildly on horseback. They just followed the baggage troops and slowly marched to Sangzhi. After a day
During the march, the troops arrived at Yujiaping for rest and recuperation. The next day, Liu Hua and the political commissar continued on their way with their baggage. At noon, they saw a group of people riding towards them on horseback.
From a distance, Liu Hua saw that the person in front of him was Mr. He. When he saw Mr. He once again leading several army leaders to greet him, he immediately got off his horse in emotion and walked towards Mr. He.
"Commander-in-Chief, political commissar, Liu Hua, commander of the Seventh Army Corps, is here to report." Liu Hua said with a standard salute.
"Well, Liu Hua, good job. Another great victory. We are really proud of our Second Front of the Red Army. We have made progress." Mr. He was the first to say.
"Liu Hua, that's good. I hope you will keep up the good work." Political Commissar Ren also came over and patted Liu Hua on the shoulder.
After speaking, Liu Hua, He Xiaoke, Wang Zhen and others met respectively, and the group walked towards Sang Zhi with smiles.
Soon, everyone came to the conference room of the headquarters. First, Xiao Ke, on behalf of the 26th Army, began to report on the combat summary of the previous period. Liu Hua couldn't help being surprised after hearing this. The two corps had less than 20,000 people.
Let the enemy be wiped out to 12,000 people, but the casualties are also very large, but with the supplement of prisoners who are willing to join the Red Army, the number of the two legions has reached 20,000. After listening to the report of Commander Xiao Ke,
Liu Hua couldn't help but nodded.
Soon it was the seventh army's turn to report. The political commissar took out the prepared data and began to report. Mr. He and political commissar Ren could not help but nod their heads. Finally, the political commissar took out the list of supplies handed over to the headquarters, which immediately made several army commanders happy.
They stood up. You must know that although the 26th Army also captured something, it was very small after all. Many weapons were damaged during hand-to-hand combat. So can they not be excited to see the supplies on the list?
Mr. He immediately woke up and stood up looking at the supplies on the list, "Comrades, since we have so many supplies now, let's be generous and send an order to the headquarters to unify the weapons of all the main forces and all the ammunition.
Bring 100 rounds of ammunition and 4 grenades, one light machine gun for each squad, 500 rounds of ammunition, and 50 rounds of mortar shells each. As for the 12 mountain cannons, they form two mountain artillery batteries, each equipped with 50 rounds of ammunition.
All ammunition and food have been reserved. Perhaps the subsequent struggle will be even more brutal, so we must leave a backup force."
The following legion commanders immediately beamed after hearing this. They have led the troops for such a long time and have never been so generous. Mr. He, who was sitting there, was also very happy. Even according to his own requirements, his headquarters still
There will be 5 million rounds of ammunition left, and basically more than 4,000 rounds of artillery shells left. With such a large reserve, we will no longer be afraid of the enemy's blockade!
Mr. He is really happy to see Liu Hua now. You know, Liu Hua has given gifts to the front army several times since he came here. Looking at the way Mr. He looked at him, Liu Hua suddenly felt that something was wrong.
place.
"Oh, Liu Hua, thank you for your great gift. You have solved a big problem for our front army this time. We no longer have to fear the enemy's encirclement and suppression for a long time. The so-called Lyle is not completely disrespectful, haha, whatever
Political Commissar, should we return the favor to this kid?" After saying that, he looked at the Political Commissar with a smile.
Political Commissar Ren nodded immediately when he saw Mr. He's mysterious smile, and also laughed, "Yes, Mr. He is right, you must return the favor, you must."
At this time, everyone in the meeting looked at the two people in front of the table with puzzled faces, and Liu Hua was no exception. They didn't know what kind of doctrine the two leaders were fighting.
"Liu Hua, I remember what you said in Qiaoling's room last time when you left, that's what... Since you're back today, what you said last time doesn't count!" Mr. He looked at it with a smile.
Own.
At this time, everyone in the conference room seemed to suddenly realize and smiled. Liu Hua's face immediately turned red after hearing what Mr. He said.
