Chapter 104 Kangding reunites again
Xue Yue, who was far away in Guiyang, was also furious when he learned that the 86th Division was surrounded and annihilated by the Red Army Division. In his opinion, since the Red Army switched, there seemed to be no good news every time he encountered the division.
The main force of the Red Army, which was originally severely injured in the Xiangjiang Battle, now seemed to have reached another 50,000 or 60,000. Such a force entered Sichuan, and it was impossible for the Red Army to block the northward advance with the strength of the Sichuan Army alone.
What's more, the Fourth Red Front Army, which also entered Sichuan at this moment, has more troops than the First Red Front Army. If the two armies really join, it is really worth thinking about who will decide in Sichuan in the future.
Most importantly, Chairman Chiang's so-called policy of first placing external forces will become completely empty talk. Faced with the Red Army, which is getting stronger and stronger, it is really unlikely to suppress the development of the other party.
Just as Xue Yue was considering how to solve the difficulties he was facing, Liu Wenhui's telegram made Xue Yue feel unbelievable. But in shock, he felt that this business would not be successful without doing it.
Not to mention that the division has two major generals and commanders, as well as many colonel chiefs and main regiment commanders. These senior officers are also a good thing for the Central Army to redeem them alive.
If he didn't redeem it, it would probably make many senior officers of the Central Army feel heartbroken. Xue Yue sometimes felt that he didn't want to fight the civil war. But as a soldier, he often had to do some things.
Soldiers, obey orders as their duty
However, Xue Yue did not dare to make decisions without authorization in this matter. In his opinion, even if the company-level officers are not important, the battalion-level officers are all backbone officers of the Central Army. If the troops can be redeemed, they can be reorganized.
What's more, there are also those pilots who were caught alive, who are even elites of the Central Army. The training funds the Central Army spent on these pilots were not small. How could it be lost casually?
Xue Yue, who received the telegram, quickly said: "Tell Liu Wenhui that you can talk to the teacher. At least, you must know what the teacher's conditions are. Forward this telegram to the chairman and ask him to give him a lecture."
The result was very natural. When the telegram was sent to Chairman Jiang, the chairman could not help but say, "My grandma, this Red Army Master is too arrogant. The person who captured me dared to ask me to pay the ransom.
This kind of behavior looks like a soldier, it is completely the behavior of a group of bandits. It seems that I am not wrong to call them the Red Bandits, and they actually did this kind of thing to ask for ransom."
Looking at Chairman Jiang who was cursing with anger and cursing, He Yingqin, who was standing in the office, said at the right time: "Chairman, although the behavior of the Red Bandits is very abominable, I think we still need to talk to them about this matter.
If our senior officers knew that we refused such negotiations, they would probably feel heartbroken. And after these people were redeemed, they could completely let them redeem their sins and reorganize new troops.
With this experience and lesson, when they fight against the Red Bandits in the future, I believe they will have more experience in how to deal with the Red Bandits. At least we must redeem those division commanders and regiment commanders."
When He Yingqin said this, Chairman Jiang said angrily: "The defeated generals are not worthy of death to redeem them for what kind of Niang Xipi they come back to do. What kind of battles are these people fighting? How come they are defeated in the hands of the division many times?"
Although he was very angry, Chairman Jiang also knew that He Yingqin's words were very reasonable. If he did not pay the ransom, the Red Army only needed to announce the news, his prestige in the army would be greatly damaged.
After a while, Chairman Jiang said: "Call back to Xue Yue and let him be fully responsible for the matter. If the ransom is too much, don't talk to the Red Bandits. But these two division commanders and pilots must be rescued by me."
Although this idea is good, for He Zhengdao, the two Central Army commanders and these captured pilots, how could he easily hand it over to the Central Army? I can't think of bleeding, I'm afraid it's impossible.
After some bargaining, the last ransom for the two division commanders was 50,000 oceans, and each pilot was 30,000 oceans. The colonel officer was 10,000, lieutenant colonel, 3,000 major, and lieutenant and captain were 1,000 oceans.
Such a price is not expensive in He Zhengdao's opinion. But after some statistics, the ransom that the Central Army needs to pay is also as high as one million oceans. Without cash, He Zhengdao also agreed to discount the drug.
After receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao, Zhou Enlai smiled and said, "Old Mao, this business really made this kid talk about it. The millions of oceans have really made Chiang Kai-shek lose his fortune this time."
Mao Taizu was also satisfied with Zhou Enlai's happiness: "With this fund, we will go north to establish a base in the future and have a certain amount of capital reserves. With Liu Wenhui's payment, we have made a lot of money this time."
Yes, I think that when we establish a base in the future, this kid can make money. I think if this kid is doing business, he will definitely have a lot of promise.
Even if there are senior officials who have any objections to He Zhengdao's repeal of prisoners, they learned that these prisoners exchanged nearly two million yuan for the main force. They also knew that the master seemed to have made contributions in this matter again. It would not be easy to knock out money from Chiang Kai-shek.
All the prisoners who needed to be handed over to Liu Wenhui's troops who came to hand over. The last batch of retreating reconnaissance battalions soon brought these ransoms and a large amount of medicine to keep up with the pace of the main force of the division.
When the division and headquarters successfully met in Kangding, they watched the division with its troops breaking through to nearly 30,000 again, Mao Taizu also considered whether to promote the division into a legion.
Looking at He Zhengdao, who was riding a horse and leading the main force to arrive, the Red Army leader standing at the gate of the city, he truly understood that the division won repeatedly, and that was not without reason. At least in terms of weapons and equipment, the division surpassed other troops.
Member Mao, Commander-in-Chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, Dear Chief, and He Zhengdao, the commander of the division, report to you
Looking at He Zhengdao, who was running forward and saluted a hundred meters away, Mr. Zhu also smiled and said, "Xiao He, your master has made great contributions along the way. With you as the defender and forward, the main force is much easier."
I dare not be the commander-in-chief. If the teacher can have the situation today, except for the heroic comrades, without the command and support of the head of the headquarters, we will not be able to be today.
You can't tell, you are quite modest, but you have made merits, and no one can erase your merits. Okay, go to the city first, you invited us to dinner, today we will treat you to dinner
Thank you Commander-in-Chief, thank you all the leaders
After saluting General Zhu again, He Zhengdao took Chief of Staff Wang Tianlin and walked with these Red Army leaders who had left the city to greet him. Those who were interested found that He Zhengdao had been following Mao Taizu.
If everyone hadn't known, He Zhengdao was the commander of the teacher at this moment. Many people felt that He Zhengdao seemed to have become a personal guard for Mao Taizu in the base area.
Mao Taizu, who also saw this, felt very pleased. Even if it was just a move to enter the city, it could make people see at a glance who He Zhengdao was.
With He Zhengdao's army, Mao Taizu could also feel that his voice in the Red Army is getting stronger and stronger. The power comes from the gun, and this is still very reasonable. If you have soldiers under your command, you are not panicked.
Before dining, He Zhengdao still escorted millions of ocean gold worth by the reconnaissance battalion and handed it over to Zhou Enlai in front of all the Red Army leaders. Among them, there were many medicines.
What even touched many Red Army leaders was that He Zhengdao specially collected a lot of medicines that were helpful to their bodies. These Red Army leaders knew that some medicines could not be bought with money.
But this time, taking advantage of the negotiation opportunity, He Zhengdao specially named the Central Army and asked him to send these medicines. Even if the conversion price is very high, in He Zhengdao's opinion, it is also very worth it.
Seeing this scene, Mao Taizu also felt that this confidant general who seemed to be inconsistent with common sense still understood some human nature. At least after taking the medicine he gave, these leaders should remember him well.
If there is really something involved in He Zhengdao in the future, I believe these leaders may not blame too much. What's more, many people know who brought all this to the main force whose strength is gradually recovering.
The division was joined by He Zhengdao and the headquarters, and both were the vanguard and defender. It was the division's victory in a row that allowed the Red Army to move to the present day, but its strength has not been damaged but has increased a lot.
Such credit also makes him realize that He Zhengdao will become an indispensable general in the Red Army
