On the fifth day after crossing the Jinsha River, the vanguard of the Seventh Army Corps led by Liu Hua successfully arrived at Zhongdian at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Since there are a large number of ethnic minorities here, especially Tibetans. Once they arrived in Zhongdian, Mr. He served as political commissar.
A party committee meeting was convened, which particularly emphasized the central government’s issues regarding the treatment of ethnic minorities, resolutely understanding the customs and habits of ethnic minorities, and respecting the customs and habits of ethnic minorities...
In the face of the central government's policy, the Seventh Army resolutely implemented it. However, due to the reactionary propaganda of the Kuomintang, a large number of Tibetan compatriots were suspicious of the arrival of the Red Army. Many people hid food and other supplies. Due to the war in the past month,
Even the seventh legion, which has ample supplies, does not have much food reserves, let alone the other two legions.
In order to prepare sufficient supplies for climbing the snow-capped mountains, all the cadres of the Seventh Army Corps, under Liu Hua's order, took Da Yang everywhere to publicize our army's policies. In addition, the Seventh Army Corps' strict military discipline will not offend the common people. Those who are hiding
The Tibetan compatriots finally returned to their homes and sold their excess food to the Red Army. In this way, with the adequate preparations of the Seventh Army, sufficient supplies were collected for the entire Second Front Army.
With sufficient supplies and the help of a large number of mules and horses from the Seventh Army, the Seventh Army began the arduous climb up the snow-capped mountains.
As a later graduate student, Liu Hua knew what was the biggest obstacle to crossing the snowy mountains. "Faced with huge difficulties, Liu Hua ignored the objections of the political commissar and others. In addition to centralized management of the remaining materials of the Seventh Army, all the remaining mules and horses were vacated.
They were distributed to various companies, so that each infantry company of the Seventh Army had 4 to 5 mules and horses. Each soldier wore thick enough cotton clothes and prepared enough peppers and other refreshing foods.
Food. Finally, the Seventh Legion embarked on a journey to climb the snow-capped mountains.
Facing the thousand-year-old snow and snow pits that are ubiquitous on the snow-capped mountains, if a person falls, he will no longer be afraid. All the troops are mules and horses leading the way, and the soldiers follow behind. When you are tired, just
Pulling the tail of the mules and horses forward, eating a bite of chili pepper and snow when tired... With the help and efforts of the cadres, soldiers, mules and horses, the Seventh Army successfully crossed the snow-capped mountains. And came to meet them.
The Red Fourth Front Army successfully joined forces in Ganzi.
Looking at the jubilant soldiers, Liu Hua's mood was not calm at all, because Liu Hua knew that this alliance was not so successful in history, because at this time Zhang Guotao, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army, had already established a separate Central Committee and the real Central Red Army.
Fighting in separate chambers, Liu Hua shook his head in the face of this situation. He hoped that he could use his own strength to save more cadres and soldiers of the Fourth Front Army. Thinking of this, Liu Hua and the political commissar and others went to meet the command of the army.
Go away.
Suddenly, the troops who came to greet them spread out on a small road, and several people came towards Liu Hua. At this time, Liu Hua was stunned, because the two great men who came to greet them were the two great men who had stayed in the Fourth Front Army from the Central Committee, "Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Liu Bocheng."
"Chief of General Staff" With the help of the political commissar, Liu Hua regained his nervousness and ran quickly towards the commander-in-chief and chief of staff.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, chief of staff, commander of the Seventh Army Corps Liu Hua, and political commissar Guan Xiangying to successfully cross the snowy mountains and join forces with their comrades from the Fourth Front Army. Please review by the chief." Liu Hua solemnly saluted the two great men with a standard military salute.
.
"Haha, Comrade Liu Hua, it has been a year since we wanted to say goodbye. Haha, the army is getting more and more powerful. You are a miracle in our Red Army. We will talk about your affairs in the evening. Mr. He will be the political commissar.
, where are comrades Xiao Ke, Wang Zhen and others?" the commander-in-chief asked, returning a military salute to Liu Hua and others.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that this time the Seventh Army Corps will serve as the vanguard of the entire army. President He, Political Commissar Ren and others are still on their way. It is estimated that they will all arrive in Ganzi tomorrow morning," Liu Hua replied.
"Well, it seems that you have quite a lot of people in the Second Front Army. Let's go back to the headquarters and tell me about the situation of the Second Front Army and your Seventh Army in the evening." The commander-in-chief looked at the steady stream of people walking by.
The soldier of the Seventh Legion said.
At the commander-in-chief's suggestion, the group walked towards the temporary headquarters.
In the evening, Liu Hua, Guan Xiangying, commander-in-chief, chief of staff, and private personnel recorded the temporary headquarters of the Seventh Army. The reason why Liu Hua was not at the reception headquarters of the Fourth Front Army was that Liu Hua knew clearly that the commander-in-chief wanted to tell some important news.
things...
"Liu Hua, Comrade Guan Xiangying, please introduce to us the current situation of the Second Front Army first, so that we can have an idea." The commander-in-chief asked quickly after sending everyone else away.
"Commander-in-Chief, there are currently about 22,000 people in the Second Front Army, among whom... After nearly half an hour of explanation, the faces of the two great men finally showed smiles of joy and excitement.
"Boss, now that we have the protection of more than 20,000 people from the Second Front Army, we finally don't have to look at Zhang Guotao's face and can finally return to the Central Committee." The chief of staff said to the commander-in-chief with a smile.
"Yes, Comrade Liu Hua and Comrade Guan Xiangying, the Chief of Staff and I have already understood your situation. Now I will tell you about the current situation of the Fourth Front Army. There is one more thing. The content of our conversation tonight must be
Keep it confidential." Seeing the two men nodding solemnly, the chief of staff began to tell the current situation of the Fourth Front Army.
After listening to the words of the Chief of Staff, Liu Hua fell silent. Although Liu Hua knew about Zhang Guotao's crimes in the Fourth Front Army, he did not expect them to be so serious. However, as a political commissar with strong principles, after hearing the words of the Chief of Staff, not only did Liu Hua's eyes turn red,
Gritting his teeth. "Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, don't worry, the political commissar and I know what to do. I guarantee that all the soldiers of the Seventh Army will be loyal to the party and obey the party's command." He stood up and said solemnly. At the same time, the political commissar Guan Xiangying responded.
He also stood up.
"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, the Corps Commander and I will definitely lead the troops well. Jiang's revolutionary forces will be brought to Yan'an and we will not give those people a chance."
After listening to their statements, the two great men smiled and nodded.
The next day, the entire Second Front Army finally arrived in the Garze area. Under the auspices of the Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff, the Second and Forth Front Armies held a successful meeting. However, on the second day of the meeting, things seemed to be a little different.
Changes occurred. The party committee of the Second Red Front Army was called by Zhang Guotao for talks. Liu Hua, commander of the Seventh Army Corps who was also the party committee, was also invited.
Just before inviting Liu Hua, Zhang Guotao paid special attention to the newly formed Seventh Army Corps of the Red Army, especially Liu Hua. You must know that Liu Hua's Seventh Army Corps was formed after leaving the Central Red Army, and his feelings for the Central Red Army were not as strong as those of the Second and Sixth Army Corps.
Deeply, in order to strengthen his own strength and achieve his goal of splitting the Red Army, Liu Hua's Seventh Army became Zhang Guotao's target. At the same time, Zhang Guotao valued Liu Hua the most.
