"Legion Commander, there's a call from headquarters." The communications staff hurried in.
"Oh, show it to me." "Order: Liu Hua, commander of the Seventh Red Army Corps, and Comrade Guan Xiangying, political commissar, come to the headquarters for a meeting as soon as possible. He Long." Looking at the above message, Liu Hua, who had been nervous, finally relaxed.
"What was supposed to come finally came," Liu Hua said with emotion.
"Inform the political commissar to come to the headquarters immediately." Liu Hua immediately ordered.
Watching the correspondent's retreating figure, Liu Hua once again fell into deep thought.
"Commander of the Corps, what's the matter? You're so anxious!" the political commissar ran into the conference room and asked.
Liu Hua said nothing and handed over the telegram. "So fast!" Political Commissar Guan said to himself after reading the telegram.
Political Commissar, how have you completed the task I ordered the troops to do a week ago?" Liu Hua looked at the political commissar.
"You are talking about asking the troops to prepare military rations! Yesterday I received a report that all troops have completed their tasks, so you can rest assured." Political Commissar Guan Xiangying replied immediately.
"Well, that's good, political commissar, let's go!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the conference room door.
The two of them led a platoon of guards and rode war horses, rushing towards the general headquarters in Dayong County. Finally, after nearly half a day of running around, the shadow of the county town appeared in Liu Hua's eyes.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar, Red Flag Army Commander Liu Hua, and Political Commissar Guan Xiangying are ordered to come and report." When the two came to the headquarters and saw General He and Political Commissar Ren Bishi in the conference room, they immediately saluted and said.
"Well, it's not bad. I heard that your Seventh Army Corps often paid fees during this period and made many seizures. Now the army is about to engage in a big battle. See if you can support the headquarters!" Mr. He looked at Liu.
Hua Heguan said to Ying with a smile.
"Ah..." they both shouted at the same time.
"Mr. He, please spare us! You also know that our Seventh Army Corps has just been established and has a weak foundation. In addition, many of the soldiers in it are composed of captured soldiers. Although some supplies have been seized, they are only enough.
For my own use, I'm afraid that after giving it to the headquarters, the troops will not have supplies, and those captured soldiers will..." Liu Hua looked at Mr. He in front of him with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. I know that Liu Hua, you kid, has many evil ideas. Seeing that you have brought a lot of things to the Central Command Headquarters before, I will spare you this time. Xiao Ke, congratulations, Wang Zhen will be here in the afternoon.
You guys should take a rest first. After they arrive, we will have a meeting on specific matters," Mr. He replied with a smile.
In the evening, the lights in the general headquarters were on all night, and several comrades from the Party Committee of the Second Red Front Army discussed the correct plan before lying on their beds to rest.
After a night of discussion, the meeting finally decided: Facing the heavy encirclement and suppression by the enemy's 130 regiments, the entire army was prepared to break out, follow the march route of the Central Red Army, and finally reach northern Shaanxi to join forces with the main force of the Red Army.
In order for the main force to successfully break out of the enemy's heavily encircled circle, Liu Hua led the main force of the Seventh Red Army to move to the Hunan and Hubei borders to lure and contain the Li Jue tribe and cover the main breakout. After the main force, the Red 26th Army, broke through, the Seventh Army
The camera moved, caught up with the main force, marched to northern Shaanxi together, and joined forces with the Central Red Army.
Hearing this order, Liu Hua and political commissar Guan Xiangying smiled and said nothing. Because they knew that among the current Red Second Front Army, only the Seventh Red Army had the most combat effectiveness. They could operate with flexibility, allowing their troops to cover the entire army's breakout.
is the best choice.
"Report to Mr. He and serve as political commissar. The Seventh Red Army Corps will resolutely complete its mission and cover the main force's breakout until the last man." Liu Hua and Guan Xiangying stood up at the same time.
"Well, you two, remember, don't fight hard. If you can't continue, you will disguise yourself and lead the backbone of the army north to find the main force." Looking at Liu Hua and Guan Xiangying in front of him, Mr. He patted their shoulders affectionately.
said.
You know, before issuing this order, Mr. He and Political Commissar Ren had discussed it for a long time. You must know that the current strength of the Seventh Army is equivalent to half of the entire Red Second Front Army. If it is placed in the base area like this, it may be able to stand out in the end.
Less than half. For such a loss, the two of them cannot bear it anyway. But looking at the entire army, only the Seventh Army has the strength to cover the entire army's breakout, and only the Seventh Army's tactics are the most flexible and can be more flexible.
It's good to shuttle through the enemy's heavy troops to save yourself.
The remaining content of the meeting was to enforce discipline, etc. Soon, General He announced the end of the meeting. Everyone did not stay longer or exchange too many greetings. After shaking hands with General He, the political commissar, they immediately rushed to the station of their troops.
…
The headquarters of the Seventh Red Army. Liu Hua and Guan Xiangying were sitting in front of each other and discussing.
"Commander of the Corps, our Corps has a long and heavy mission this time. The life and death of the entire Second Red Front Army rests on our Seventh Corps~!" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying lit a cigarette and said.
"Yes, political commissar!" Liu Hua also lit a cigarette, "We must have a complete plan that not only attracts the enemy's troops, but also minimizes our own casualties and takes out the Seventh Army as much as possible."
"Correspondent, which Hunan military deployment map is here?" the political commissar stood up.
Soon, a map of the enemy's deployment was placed in front of the two of them.
Slowly, after constant discussions and denials, Yitiao's attack route was drawn on the map.
"Communications staff, please send a message to the political commissar of each division commander. They must rush back to the Corps Headquarters for a meeting before eight o'clock in the evening and send the message immediately." Liu Hua walked out of the conference room and shouted to the confidential room.
In the evening, the conference room of the Seventh Legion slowly became lively. Liu Hua, Guan Xiangying, and Li Qing walked into the conference room, and the noisy conference room immediately became quiet.
"Comrades, the meeting will now begin. First, the political commissar will introduce to all compatriots the spirit and gist of the meeting at the headquarters." Liu Hua stood up and began a simple opening.
Political Commissar Guan Xiangying stood up: "Comrades, this headquarters meeting mainly determined two major events. The first is to determine the future direction and development of our Red Second Front Army. The meeting was reached after intense discussions and telegrams from the Central Committee.
unanimously, and finally decided that the troops would be surrounded by heavy enemy troops..." Half an hour passed, and the cadres below all showed expressions of surprise. You know, faced with such a major decision, if Liu Hua did not come from the future and understand history, he would be the same
You will also be surprised. You must know that compared with the Central Red Army's northern Shaanxi base area, the current Xiangxi base area will only be larger, not smaller, and will be stronger, not weaker.
"Haha, comrades, I know you are surprised by this decision, but this decision by the General Command and the Central Committee is wise. Perhaps, comrades have felt that the enemy is deploying more and more troops around the base area.
Supplies are becoming increasingly scarce. Maybe comrades don’t know that except for our Seventh Army Corps, the other two armies of the Front Army are now reducing their military ration supplies. The reason why we have not reduced it is thanks to Comrade Li Qing, Director of the Army’s Logistics Department.
"It's because he has been raising rations for the troops from the beginning that we are in the current situation." At this point, Liu Hua stopped. At this time, everyone looked at Li Qing next to him.
"Haha, comrades, these are what the legion commander ordered me to do." Li Qing said with a blush.
"Haha, Director Li Qing is so humble. Comrades should have thought clearly now!" Liu Hua waved his hand and said.
"Okay, now it is time for Political Commissar Comrade Guan Xiangying to tell you about our battle plan and the tasks of each unit." Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Okay, now let me talk about our combat objectives this time." The political commissar paused, "This time the mission of our Seventh Army is to cover the main breakout. In order to better attract the enemy's troops, the Army Commander and I decided that this
This time we wanted to capture Changde by surprise, and then direct our troops towards Changsha. After the attention of the locals was attracted, the entire army withdrew covertly from the alley, assembled in Lishui, and broke through the Lishui defense line with lightning speed.
Break out of the enemy's encirclement, join forces with the main force of the front army, and march northward to northern Shaanxi. Now I will arrange combat missions..."
The political commissar spoke in detail, and time passed quickly. An hour later, the political commissar finally finished his speech. "Now I order the corps headquarters reconnaissance battalion and the reconnaissance companies of each division to report to the headquarters before noon tomorrow." Liu Huashan stood.
Get up and say, "Okay, it's okay now, let's break up the meeting."
After all the cadres walked out of the conference room, Liu Hua, Guan Xiangying, and Li Qing stayed behind.
"Director Li, please count the logistics ammunition reserves. The ammunition of the unified army is now unified. The artillery shells require 80 rounds for each gun, 150 rounds for the rifle, 1,000 rounds for the light machine gun, 5,000 rounds for the heavy machine gun, and 5 grenades.
Come on, take a look, how much ammunition do we have left?" Liu Hua looked at Director Li Qing, who had been silent.
A few minutes passed. Li Qing raised his head and said, "Commander of the Army, after distributing according to your standards, there are still 1.5 million rounds of rifle ammunition left in the logistics department, 120 rounds of artillery shells left for each gun, and a lot of heavy machine gun ammunition left."
"Political Commissar, it seems that our family is quite wealthy." Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Yes, haha, this is mainly because of you. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. You must know that I didn't agree with you when you gave this order. Come on, your decision is correct." The political commissar also smiled.
.
"Okay, political commissar, please stop complimenting me." Liu Hua looked at Li Qing again, "Director Li, you will send out the ammunition when you get back tonight. I will ask all the troops to come and collect the remaining supplies tomorrow."
Everything is under the unified management of the baggage regiment. Director Li, everything must be done before tomorrow night, and then you will lead the new regiment. The baggage regiment will move toward Lishui from a hidden path, and then wait in hiding near Lishui. Remember
, we must not let the enemy discover you."
"Regiment commander, political commissar, don't worry, I will resolutely complete the mission." Li Qing stood up and said.
"Okay, two eldest brothers, we have said what needs to be said. Let's disperse. Starting from tomorrow, we will stay up late again." Liu Hua said with a smile.
