Chapter 50 Be a Vanguard

Early the next morning, many Red Army commanders and fighters resting in the camp saw the last independent regiment that had joined the headquarters, which seemed to be packing their luggage to prepare to depot. However, other troops did not seem to have received any combat instructions.

Although everyone knows that the current place is not suitable for long-term stays. However, without the orders of superiors, the troops dare not mobilize at will. The independent regiment may realize that a new round of battle is about to begin.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who had been resting for three days, He Zhengdao, who was standing in front of the team, said nothing and waved: "Go!"

As the reconnaissance company of the advance troops of the Independent Regiment, it undoubtedly became the first unit to leave the garrison. The remaining officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment also trotted away quickly. As for where they went, many Red Army commanders and soldiers did not know.

Just as He Zhengdao led the Independent Group to start early in the morning, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, who were also getting up early, looked a little serious. They all knew very well that the task undertaken by the Independent Group this time was not an easy task!

Seeing that the Independence Group had disappeared from sight, Mao Taizu still refused to leave. Mr. Zhu seemed to know something and said with a smile: "Mao, since you have handed him such an important task, you should trust him.

Although there are only more than 3,000 people in the Independent Regiment, you can look at their equipment. Our main force is afraid that we will not be able to pull out any troops equipped with the same equipment as them. I believe that this kid will not disappoint us."

‘But I still feel a little unbearable. If I hadn’t known that their independent group was the best equipped, I wouldn’t have given them such a task. After all, it would have been a very lucky thing for them to come back alive.’

Mao Taizu didn't say the rest, and Mr. Zhu could understand it a little. These people finally came back alive, but now they have to serve as the vanguard of the main force to stab the hornet's nest that encircled and suppressed the army. The bad result can be imagined.

After a while, President Zhu said, "Who told us to be the Red Army?"

A seemingly helpless sentence also reveals the situation facing the Red Army now. For Mr. Zhu, he knew very well that Mao Taizu gave the mission to the Independent Regiment, which was somewhat unbearable.

But all the commanders and soldiers of the army looked at him. As Mao Taizu's former guard company commander and the current commander of the independent regiment, the independent regiment commander of He Zhengdao may not be able to say how powerful the combat effectiveness is. But its weapons and equipment are definitely the best in the entire army.

Since the Independent Group has such conditions, it is not a matter of course to undertake some difficult tasks?

But all this was not very clear to He Zhengdao. The first reconnaissance company that left, after walking a distance from the base, all changed into the Central Army uniforms and began to reconnaise the enemy situation for the main force.

Even though He Zhengdao knew that there was no central army's encirclement in the area transferred by the Independent Regiment at present. However, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he released the entire reconnaissance company and continued to reconnaissance the enemy situation in front of the Independent Regiment.

The independent regiment that only carried five-day rations, not many weapons and ammunition were carried. As for the prisoners who were taken into custody, Yao Shengjun felt worried and handed them all over to the Military Commission Column for responsibility.

Therefore, after a few days of rest, the independent regiment was still very happy to go to the enemy-occupied area again. During the days when they met with the headquarters, many Red Army soldiers felt that it was more free to live outside alone.

Most of the comrades around me are like them, and they have experience of being captured. As for the newly added comrades, they are all ordinary soldiers of the former Central Army. In comparison, it seems to be a bit like a brother in trouble.

Yao Shengjun, who set out with He Zhengdao, seemed a little confused and said, "Captain, where is Xiao Shanzi? Why is he not by your side? I thought just now, you sent him to convey the message! Why haven't you met with us yet?"

When it comes to Yao Shengjun's inquiry, He Zhengdao said calmly: "Xiaoshan has another mission, and he will not meet with us for the time being. It's okay, as long as we can live, I believe we will meet again."

From He Zhengdao's words, Yao Shengjun could somewhat hear that the task He Xiaoshan was probably not simple. In fact, after careful consideration, He Zhengdao finally decided to send He Xiaoshan to perform that task.

In addition, he also drew five elite soldiers from the reconnaissance company. However, He Zhengdao did not tell anyone about the actions of these six people. But He Zhengdao still hoped that when the main Red Army forces arrived in Yan'an smoothly, they could meet again there.

Seeing that He Zhengdao refused to tell He Xiaoshan and others what tasks they were carrying out, Yao Shengjun was unwilling to ask more questions. At the headquarters these days, Yao Shengjun really understood He Zhengdao's position in the hearts of those leaders.

Although He Zhengdao is not old, with the recognition of these leaders, I believe that his achievements in the Red Army will be of good condition in the future. Before leaving, Zhou Enlai also specially asked him to cooperate with He Zhengdao's work in future actions.

After a day and night of travel, the Independence Regiment appeared again by the Chishui River the next evening. Looking at the floating bridges that were still built, the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment also felt that they wanted to turn back to the place where the battle ended last time.

Looking at the somewhat tired officers and soldiers, he looked at He Zhengdao in the sky and quickly said, "Order the troops to rest on the spot! Eat some dry food and water, cross the river on time at 8 o'clock in the evening. The reconnaissance company will cross the river in advance to build fortifications."

After the order was issued, the main forces of the Independent Regiment began to find places to rest one after another. For these Red Army soldiers, marching and rushing on the road was a common thing. It was rare to get a few hours of rest!

Seeing the reconnaissance company wearing Central Military uniforms crossing the Chishui River in advance, He Zhengdao was also waiting for news about the reconnaissance company. Fortunately, the weather was good tonight, and the moonlight above his head could allow the Independent Regiment to cross the river without tempting.

He Zhengdao did not dare to ensure that the Central Army or other encirclement and suppression troops would not send reconnaissance posts to conduct reconnaissance. Therefore, letting the reconnaissance company go in advance and finding out the enemy situation on the other side of the river.

Not long after, the correspondent of the reconnaissance company returned and informed that no enemy situation was found ten kilometers across the river. He Zhengdao also felt relieved when he heard this news. It seemed that the Central Army had not yet noticed it, and they had the intention to return to the army again.

In fact, shortly after the Independent Regiment set out, a regiment of the Red First Army also began to march swagger. The direction of their march was exactly the direction where the various encirclement and suppression armies were currently located.

Of course, the task undertaken by this main force is to attract and involve the attention of the encirclement and suppression of the army. As for He Zhengdao's independent regiment, their task is to eliminate the enemies on the Red Army's front line again.

Even according to Mao Taizu's instructions, he hoped that the Independent Regiment could become a sharp knife for the main force and plunge into the rear of the already empty encirclement and suppression army again. This task is simple and simple, but it is not easy and not easy.

Once exposed in advance, the entire combat mission will be affected. For this reason, He Zhengdao seemed very cautious during the march. The reconnaissance post of the entire reconnaissance company carefully searched the several kilometers of the troops traveled.

Fortunately, the focus of the encirclement and suppression of the army is now on the main force of the Red Army resting on the north bank. Various soldiers and horses are gathering nearby one after another. As for the east bank where the Independent Regiment is passing by at this moment, it seems flat.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were woken up one after another at 8 o'clock felt that they had not had much rest. But they all knew that the tasks undertaken by the Independent Regiment were not easy this time. Next, I was afraid that there would not be much rest time.

After successfully crossing the Chishui River, He Zhengdao told Sun Shicheng, who was marching with the regiment headquarters: "Call the headquarters and our headquarters has successfully crossed the Chishui River. No enemy situation has been discovered yet and we are continuing to move as planned."

‘Yes, the leader!’

As the only correspondent who was personally instigated by He Zhengdao, Sun Shicheng was also personally received by Zhou Enlai during his few days at the headquarters. If the meeting was not appropriate, then inquiry in person, or it might be similar.

In short, after meeting Zhou Enlai, Sun Shicheng really felt the difference between the Red Army and the Central Army where he was before. If he was in the Central Army before, not to mention the headquarters leader like Zhou Enlai, it would be nice to say a word to the division commander.

After the meeting with Zhou Enlai, he still returned to the Independent Group to serve as the platoon leader of the telecommunications. However, compared to He Zhengdao's appointment before, Sun Shicheng, the platoon leader was directly appointed by Zhou Enlai.

It seems that he is still the platoon leader, but now Sun Shicheng is in the Independent Group. The telecommunications squad leader who did not trust him no longer doubts him. This feeling of being trusted makes Sun Shicheng feel very good.

When the headquarters received a telegram from the independent regiment, General Zhu said happily: "Old Mao, it seems that your guess has been successful. Now most of the main forces of the Central Army have gathered on the North Shore. Can we withdraw?"

‘No hurry! Let the troops take a day off and give the Central Army more time to pocket the pockets! If we run away now, they will think we are running too fast. Wait a little longer, I believe that the Independent Corps should be able to reach the Xishui territory tomorrow.

If the Independent Corps can really solve the Guizhou Army that Xishui, then our main force should have more time to transfer after crossing the Chishui River. So, it doesn't matter if you wait for one more day, now it's up to you to see the news about the Independent Corps."
