Chapter 48 The memory engraved in my heart on April 7

March 5, 1988 was the 90th birthday of Comrade Zhou Enlai.At this moment, it arouses my deep nostalgia for the respected Comrade Zhou Enlai. Comrade Enlai is one of the founders of our army.He has made immortal contributions to the Chinese revolution and the people.The glorious achievements of his life will shine through the future. In this article, I only recall some past events fifty years ago to commemorate. I still vividly remember the first time I met Comrade Zhou Enlai.It was August 1930. During the attack on Ruichang County, I was wounded and transferred to Shanghai for treatment.When I recovered, the Central Committee sent Comrade Wu Defeng to inform me to go to a party organ for a meeting.There were six or seven people present at the meeting that day, and there was a comrade named Wu Hao who seemed calm and composed.In his speech, he said: The Kuomintang army is stationed in Minhang Town, and our comrades are doing secret work in it.Now, the party organization seems to have been discovered by the enemy and is in danger of being destroyed.There are two ways, one is to organize military violence, and the other is to withdraw our comrades as soon as possible if military violence is impossible.Having said that, he turned to me and said: Didn't you lead the Daye military violence?If the Minhang troops are violent, you go to command.I thought, why is this comrade so familiar with Daye Bingbao and me? Who is he?As soon as I got back to the hotel, Comrade Wu Defeng asked me: Did you see Zhou Enlai today?I answered: no.He said: Why didn't you see it?Seeing that I was surprised, he said to me: The Wu Hao who spoke at the meeting today is Zhou Enlai.My heartstrings were deeply touched. Comrade Zhou Enlai, the main leader of the Nanchang Uprising, has long been a figure I have admired for a long time. I never imagined that I would be honored to meet him here today.And his concern for his comrades in the Minhang army and his careful planning of the military violence were just like the Daye military violence against us.

In the summer of 1928, due to the failure of the Hailufeng base area, I returned to the north and found a position as a battalion adjutant in the Yue Weijun army in Queshan County, Henan Province.The battalion's deputy battalion commander, political instructor, and chief secretary are all party members. The chief secretary is Comrade Zhao Pinsan, who once worked with me on secret Party work.By the spring of 1929, there were 14 or 15 companies in this army with party branches and more than 70 Communist Party members, forming a solid battle fortress. This local warlord force originally belonged to the Second Army of the National Army.During the period of the Great Revolution, the Second Army already had an organization of our party, and the officers and soldiers had been affected by the upsurge of the Great Revolution.We taught soldiers to sing revolutionary songs, taught them how to read, and instilled revolutionary principles.The officers and soldiers maintain a strong old relationship such as fellow countrymen and old subordinates. We make friends with them and gradually make them accept new ideas.In this way, sympathizers and progressive elements were united, party members were developed, and the influence of the party penetrated deep into soldiers and junior officers, and we also gained a firm foothold.The party organization is under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission. Comrade Zhou Enlai is the secretary of the Central Military Commission. Comrade Nie Rongzhen also works in the Central Military Commission. Comrade Shi Zhongwei is directly in touch with us. Through Shi we can report the situation of the troops at any time and receive instructions from Comrade Zhou Enlai.

Yuebu is not a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek has long wanted to annex it. In the winter of 1928, Jiang transferred Yuebu to the Huaiyin area of ​​Jiangsu Province and downsized it into the new First Division.With this change, some veteran officers were dismissed or demoted, and some party members were also removed from their positions.The battalion I was in was organized into the sixth regiment, the second battalion and the fifth company. The battalion commander Meng Zonglu was demoted to the company commander, and I became the platoon leader.The minds of the officers and soldiers were turbulent.Just when we were in a difficult time, we received instructions from the Central Military Commission asking us to stick to the party's position. At the beginning of 1929, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Yue Fan to Nanhu, Wuchang, Hubei Province for "reorganization training", and excused Yue Fan Feng Wangxiang's ineffectiveness, removed him from the post of division commander, and was replaced by Cao Wanshun.Cao brought in a group of Whampoa officers and replaced a large number of old officers in order to control this force.The veteran officers and soldiers were deeply dissatisfied with Jiang and Cao's high pressure and the practice of excluding and discriminating against non-directed descendants.Anti-Chiang and anti-Whampoa officers' sentiments grew rapidly among the officers and soldiers.These contradictions are favorable conditions for us to carry out in-depth party work.These Whampoa students were resolutely anti-communist and had anti-communist experience.This has made our activities encounter many difficulties and the struggle has become more complicated.At this time, the Central Military Commission instructed us in a timely manner: we must adopt the policy of being lean and concealed and accumulating strength, preserve the party organization, and wait for a favorable opportunity to seize this armed force.This is a great encouragement to us.Soon, the opportunity came.Zhang Fakui fought against Chiang in Yichang and Shashi, and sent the new First Division to fight.As soon as the first, second and third regiments of the vanguard arrived between Shashi and Yichang by boat, they were ambushed by Zhang Bu and disarmed.When the fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments of the follow-up troops arrived, Zhang's troops had already withdrawn to the south.The Fourth and Fifth Regiments were stationed in Yichang and Shashi, and the Sixth Regiment was stationed in Zigui County.Before the troops left Wuchang, the party organization had a plan for military violence and organized an uprising headquarters.As soon as this white army went to the front line, it was defeated and stationed near the Honghu base area. This is also an advantage for our soldiers to become the red army.Just at this time, an unexpected situation happened: Wang Junjie, the head of the Fifth Regiment, as an old officer, took advantage of the unstable state of the troops to plan to mutiny and drag the troops away.The person in charge of the party organization saw that Wang was also engaged in a mutiny, and only thought that he had a certain influence among the soldiers, but he did not recognize his face, lost vigilance, and rashly told Wang Junjie that "the soldiers should be violent as the Red Army". The head of the organization was killed instead.Wang Junjie launched the Yichang mutiny first, took away the fourth and fifth regiments, and killed a group of Whampoa officers.Soon, the Sixth Regiment was ordered to sail back to Yichang from Zigui. The ship was disarmed by Chiang Kai-shek's "Weisheng" warship in the middle of the river.So far, the first plan to launch a military violence has failed.This is mainly because some of our party members still lack experience in struggle, unable to cope with the rapidly changing and complicated struggle situation, and lost an opportunity to launch military violence.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately and thoroughly cleaned this unit.The Sixth Regiment was ordered to return to the Hankou Qiaokou Barracks from Yichang unarmed, and was reorganized into the 15th Independent Brigade, headed by Tang Yunshan.Because Wang Junjie once shouted the slogan of killing Huangpu officers when he mutinied, Jiang used this excuse to replace all the old officers above the platoon leader with Huangpu students.At that time, I did not dare to say that I was a student of the Wuhan Central Military Academy, but falsely claimed that I was a graduate of Yan Xishan's academy.They thought that Yan Xishan was a feudal warlord, so they concluded that I was politically backward, not born as a bandit, and had some military skills to use.In addition, the thinking of the second platoon leader was more progressive, he spoke well of me in front of the battalion commander, and I became the only old platoon leader left.The squad leader of this battalion has not changed, and several of them are party members.Although some monitors are not party members, they all respect me because I am the only old official left.The organization of our party has been greatly reduced, and the struggle has become more acute.At this time, we received instructions from Comrade Zhou Enlai, asking us to maintain and consolidate the party's position and to control the troops well.So, we set about sorting out the party organization.In the three companies of the second battalion, I influenced and united sympathizers by building relationships and making friends, getting close to the company and platoon leaders.The party members of the other battalions of the Second Regiment are still contacted by me alone.The person in charge of the party organization of the first battalion and the first company is Comrade Bai Yujie, the leader of the fourth squad, and Comrade Wang Yu, a member of the third battalion and the ninth company.After I got in touch with Comrade Zhao Pinsan outside, I often discussed how to proceed with the work.

Although this unit has been reorganized several times, the influence of our party is still growing, which is unexpected by Chiang Kai-shek, Tang Yunshan and Huangpu officers.Because they have many internal contradictions, and we have learned lessons from our mistakes, the level of struggle is also improving, and the Central Military Commission has given timely instructions, the party organization has shrunk, and the party members have endured more tempering.We bide our time and actively prepare for a new military violence. At the beginning of October of this year, the 15th Independent Brigade, which was riddled with holes, was going to attack the Red Army. This was a good opportunity for military violence.After I heard the news, I immediately contacted Comrade Zhao Pinsan, and they agreed that the guns in the hands of the Communist Party could not hit the Red Army, and that they would resort to military violence.At this moment, the Central Military Commission sent Comrades Shi Zhongwei, Ke Naikang (Qing Shi), and Deng Qianyuan from Shanghai to Hankou to look for me, which made me very happy.After deliberation, we formulated a plan to serve as the Red Army.Shi Zhongwei went to report to the Central Military Commission, and Ke Naikang and others went to get in touch with the Southeast Hubei Special Committee and the Red Army, and then sent people to Daye City to join me.

At the beginning of December, the Central Military Commission sent Comrade Liu Zhenshan to Daye City to convey to me the party's decision: to adopt the plan of coordinating internal response to external forces, where I would fight inside and the Red Army would attack from outside.The two of us immediately discussed the timing of the violence.I said, December 11th is the day of the Guangzhou Uprising, and the Daye military violence was held on this day. Isn't it just a commemoration of the Guangzhou Uprising?I once participated in the Guangzhou riots in the teaching group, so I think of this day.Liu said that the preparation time was too late.It was decided that 12 o'clock at night on the 14th was the time for the military violence. We first acted in the city, and then the Red Army attacked the city at dawn.Liu Zhenshan went back to report, and we started to move nervously inside and outside the party, preparing for an uprising. On the night of the 14th, it was raining.At 11:30, I gathered the Party members and squad leaders of the Fifth Company, and publicly unveiled the flag of righteousness: The soldiers are violent, go to the Red Army!First of all, deal with the reactionary officers.Without using a knife or gun, we quickly arrested the company commander, the platoon leader, and the company staff.The second platoon leader did not take this method, but I persuaded him to follow us.Then he called up the soldiers of the whole company and showed his hole cards: the soldiers are violent and become the Red Army!At this time, the crowd was excited.Individuals with low consciousness also joined in.We used two platoons to deal with the other two companies, and two squads to clean up the battalion headquarters.The sixth company has a party organization, and if the company headquarters is taken down, the whole company is captured.The Seventh Company was just transferred from the First Regiment. It lacked the foundation of the party's work and did not solve it smoothly.There was a battle between the enemy's battalion and the Seventh Company and our violent troops. Since it was not suitable to fight hard, I led the fifth and sixth companies to retreat to the suburbs.The Red Fifth Column attacked the city at dawn, and the enemy battalion commander and the Seventh Company hurriedly abandoned the city and fled. They were severely beaten by our army and were all disarmed.The violent troops joined the Red Army victoriously.

In the first battalion in Yangxin City, Bai Yujie was about to take away the first and second companies when he heard the news of Daye's military violence. Unexpectedly, after he killed the reactionary company commander, he was killed by the first squad leader who was a bandit.Other party members took the first and second companies outside the city and rushed to my base. After successive victories, the enemy was shocked, and the first regiment and the third battalion of the second regiment rushed into Daye.Comrade Wang Yu of the Third Battalion and Ninth Company was about to revolt, but the enemy had long believed that the Ninth Company was "unstable" and placed the company in the center of the county to take strict precautions. On the 24th, it was rumored among the people that the Red Army was coming to attack the city. Comrade Wang Yu rushed to the top of the city with other companies to prepare for the battle, and dragged out 80 or 90 people.Seeing that the momentum was not good, the enemy fled back to Wuhan in panic.

This military violence was won under the correct leadership of Comrade Zhou Enlai and the Central Military Commission, which had a great impact. The Central Military Commission called it a "model Daye military violence."The violent troops were combined into the second detachment of the fifth column of the Red Army. Comrade Chen Qi served as the party representative and I served as the detachment leader.Since then, this red army reorganized from the White Army has embarked on a journey to defend the base area in southeastern Hubei. In the winter of 1933, I was studying at the Red Army University, and once again personally listened to Comrade Zhou Enlai's teachings on the situation in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas and the Red Army's actions.At that time, Comrade Enlai was the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.At that time, the Provincial Committee of Hubei, Henan and Anhui sent Comrade Cheng Fangwu to report to the central government and asked the central government to send military cadres to them.Vice Chairman Zhou decided that I would leave the Central Soviet Area and work in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas.

In May 1934, before leaving, Vice Chairman Zhou told me: At present, the enemy has an absolute advantage in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions. The enemy uses bunkers and blockade lines to continuously compress and divide our base area into several small pieces. "Suppression" and "pursuit" troops alternately attacked, blocked, and pursued our army. Our base area shrank, and our manpower and material resources encountered serious difficulties.The Red Army suffered constant casualties and it was difficult to replenish.If the Red Army continues to weaken until it is wiped out, then there will be no bases.What is the way out?The central government decided that the main force of the Red Army should make a strategic shift to establish a new base.In this way, the army can be developed, and at the same time, the main force of the enemy army can be drawn away, reducing the pressure on the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui.The number of enemy troops in the base area has decreased, and some of the remaining armed forces can persist for a long time, and the old base area can be preserved.What area should the main force of the Red Army choose to establish a new base area?Vice-Chairman Zhou said: base areas should be chosen where the enemy's strength is relatively weak; our party has revolutionary influence among the masses, or the masses there are easy to win; the terrain is convenient for our army to fight and defend, and there are relatively abundant food and other material conditions. .

After I listened carefully and comprehended Vice Chairman Zhou's intentions, I was on my way.I left Ruijin in May, and arrived at the office of Comrade Zheng Weisan, secretary of the Northeast Hubei Province Committee, in September, waiting for the provincial party committee and the 25th Red Army to return from northwest Anhui.The provincial party committee studied the central document and Vice Chairman Zhou's instructions, unanimously expressed their support, and decided to develop in the western Funiu Mountain area, so the provincial party committee decided to implement a strategic transfer of the Red 25th Army and march westward.The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee is still Comrade Xu Baoshan.The Provincial Party Committee decided that I should be the commander of the 25th Red Army, Wu Huan should be the political commissar, and Xu Haidong should be the deputy commander.In fact, the provincial party committee also served as the military party committee, leading the Red 25th Army on the Long March, leaving Comrade Gao Jingting to lead the Red 28th Army to persist in the struggle in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas. On November 16, our army issued the "Advice for the Departure of the Second Advance Team of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to the North to Anti-Japanese War". More than 2,900 people in the whole army began the Long March.After our army set off, we could no longer communicate with the Party Central Committee. Under such circumstances, we followed the course of action instructed by Vice Chairman Zhou to make the activities of the Red Army conform to the requirements of this line of action.

After our army advanced westward, Chiang Kai-shek hastily mobilized the superior forces of more than 30 regiments to block and pursue our army, in an attempt to annihilate our army during the Long March.Our army first repelled the attack of the "chasing and suppressing team" in Zhudiantang, Luoshan County, crossed the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway from the south of Xinyang City, and entered Tongbai Mountain. In order to conceal our intention to go north to Funiu Mountain and mobilize the enemy, our army marched west after crossing the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway.When our army crossed Tongbai and camped 30 miles east of Huyang Town, it was discovered that the enemy had mobilized the 40th Army from Nanyang, Biyang, Fangcheng, Yexian and other places, and the 44th Division of Laohekou in Western Hubei to Huyang Town. In the regional blockade, five detachments of the "pursuit and suppression team" and the 115th Brigade of the Northeast Army followed and pursued, attempting to pinch our army back and forth.We moved in the middle of the night, turned around and marched northeastward, jumped out of the enemy's front and rear pincer circles, and quickly passed Pingshi Town and the east of Biyang City and entered the mountainous area. In the next step, if our army wants to enter the Funiu Mountains, it has to cross the Xu (Chang) South (Yang) Highway.The enemy discovered that our army was going north and sent the north back to deploy.When our army entered the vicinity of Dushu Town, the enemy's 115th Brigade and cavalry regiment had arrived first, blocked the road, attacked us fiercely, and prevented our army from crossing the road.Here, after fierce fighting, we got rid of the enemy, crossed the road, and walked up to Funiu Mountain the next morning.In this battle, under the unfavorable conditions of flat terrain, cold current, heavy rain and snow, and very bad weather, our army, under the direct command of Wu Huanxian and Xu Haidong, defeated the enemy's fierce joint attack of tens of thousands of infantry with less than 3,000 troops. Turning danger into safety is a crucial battle for the Red Twenty-Five Army to preserve itself and complete the task of strategic transfer.Therefore, when the troops crossed the Henan Great Plains and went up to Funiu Mountain, their emotions were particularly high. The reactionary organization in the Funiu Mountain area is tight, and there are many landlords surrounded by villages, and the masses are trapped in the fenced villages, unable to get close.Our army cannot mobilize the masses to establish base areas, that is, march to southern Shaanxi.The 60th Division of the 19th Route Army of the enemy has advanced to the south of Lushi City, defending Zhuyang Pass and Wulichuan Pass, blocking the entrance that our army must pass through when entering Shaanxi.However, our army took advantage of the emptiness of the enemy in Lushi City, and entered Shaanxi at night by detouring the narrow passage more than 1 mile wide in the south of Lushi City and north of the Luohe River. The enemy's attempt to block our army's way failed.The enemy didn't give up, and the two regiments of the 42nd Division of the Shaanxi Army transferred from Xuanguan and Huayin stopped our army in the Sanyaosi area, and our army annihilated one battalion.Our army fought fiercely with the enemy's 60th division in Yujiahe, Luonan, killing and injuring more than 800 enemies, and I also suffered more than 200 casualties.Both Comrade Xu Haidong and I were seriously injured in this battle.The victory of this battle finally completely smashed the enemy's pursuit and blocking. Since our army set off, until December 10th, it has defeated the siege and onslaught of the enemy forces more than 20 times that of our army, achieved the goal of strategic shift, and successfully completed this long march. The Provincial Party Committee held a meeting in Yujiahe on December 10, 1934, and decided to establish a base at the junction of the three provinces of Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi.This is the way to estimate that Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Hucheng will not be able to deploy to deal with our army in the short term. I can take advantage of the conflict between the Shaanxi army and Jiang army, seize the opportunity, quickly establish a base area, and carry out the glorious and arduous task assigned by Vice Chairman Zhou.This area has high mountains and dangerous roads, lacks roads, and is suitable for establishing a revolutionary base. The enemy does not allow us to establish base areas and gain a firm foothold, so they will inevitably attack our army.Therefore, while our army concentrated its forces on dealing with the enemy's attack, it drew out the 1st company troops and some cadres to mobilize the masses in the localities, establish guerrilla groups, anti-donation troops and other organizations, open up new areas, expand the Red Army, and establish a revolutionary regime.By the end of January 1935, when the enemy launched an offensive, our army had created the first revolutionary base in four counties of Yunxi, Xunyang, Zhen'an, and Shanyang, and established new bases for the victory of the struggle against "encirclement and suppression" Conditions are prepared.Then, our army defeated the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" many times in Caiyuyao, Wengongling, Huayin, Lantian and other places, and opened up three revolutionary areas in Lantian, Shangxian, Zhen'an, Huayang, Lushi and other places. base. By the beginning of May 1935, the Red Twenty-Five Army had grown to more than 3,700 people, and the local guerrilla divisions and anti-donation troops had grown to more than 2,000 people. Two special committees, Henan-Shaanxi and Hubei-Shaanxi, were established, and more than 30 party members were recruited. A revolutionary base area, the Soviet regime has been established in 10 districts, 46 townships, and 314 villages. The Soviet area has a population of 500,000 and an area of ​​more than 900,000 mu of arable land. The Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base has initially been established. On April 20, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the three divisions of Wang Yizhe's Sixty-seventh Army of the Northeast Army, Tang Junde's Ninety-fifth Division, the Forty-fourth Division, the Fortieth Army, and the Shaanxi Army, a total of more than 30 regiments. The strength of our army, under the command of Yang Hucheng, launched the second "encirclement and suppression" against me.At that time, the Provincial Party Committee had foreseen this large-scale "encirclement and suppression" campaign and made full preparations.At that time, I was seriously injured and could not participate in the meeting held by the provincial party committee. Comrade Wu Huanxian came to ask for my opinion. The combat policy of delaying and fighting.Because there are many mountains and mountains, there are no roads, and relief is difficult, the enemy must adopt the policy of quick battle and quick decision.Our army has adopted the above-mentioned policy in combat, delaying the enemy before attacking, disrupting the enemy's deployment, and fatigue the enemy; emptying the field to clear the field, starving the enemy; combining mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, and defeating the enemy one by one.Our army first entered Shang County and north of Luonan from south to north, killed and wounded more than 200 enemies, and surrendered more than 100 guns. In this way, the enemy changed the attacking spearhead of the North-South joint attack to the north.However, our army then went straight to the southeast, captured Fushui Pass, occupied Qingshan Street, and captured more than 170 enemy officers and soldiers.Our army took the enemy by surprise again, and captured Jingziguan in the rear of the enemy from a long distance, wiped out more than one enemy company, captured the chief of the enemy's 44th division's military supplies alive, seized a large amount of military supplies, and solved the cotton-padded clothes of the entire army.The enemy army swarmed towards Jingziguan again, while our army moved from south to west to the base area, which completely disrupted the enemy's deployment and dragged the enemy out.Our army lured the enemy into the middle of the base area. With the cooperation of the guerrilla division, we fought the battle of Yuanjiagoukou, wiped out the enemy's police brigade, killed and injured more than 300 enemies, captured more than 1,400 of the enemy's brigade commander Tang Sitong and handed over 1,000 guns. remaining branch.This excellent annihilation battle completely bankrupted Chiang Kai-shek's arrogant attempt to annihilate our army within three months. From November 1934 to July 1935, under the leadership of the Hubei-Yuan-Wan (E-Yu-Shan) Provincial Party Committee, the Red Twenty-Five Army successfully realized the strategic shift, established the Hubei-Yu-Shan Revolutionary Base, and smashed the enemy's two The second "encirclement and suppression" of heavy troops also allowed itself to grow and develop. The Red Twenty-Five Army has reached more than 4,000 people, which fully reflects the wisdom and correctness of the Red Twenty-Five Army's strategic transfer policy instructed by Comrade Zhou Enlai. In mid-July, in order to draw the enemy out of the base area and look for opportunities to eliminate them, our army led a guerrilla division to attack to the north of Zhongnan Mountain. The forward reached more than 20 miles south of Xi'an, which greatly shocked the enemy's nest in Xi'an.When our army was in Ziwu Town, Comrade Shi Jianmin, a traffic officer of the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Provincial Committees, broke through the enemy's heavy blockade, came to the army bravely, and sent us central documents and newspapers. We are glad to hear that the Party Central Committee and Comrade Mao Zedong directly led After the Central Red Army joined forces with the Fourth Red Army in western Sichuan, they marched northward toward the Qing and Gan borders.At this time, the Provincial Party Committee decided that the combat policy of the 25th Red Army was to actively cooperate with the main Red Army, go west to Gansu, contain the enemy, destroy the enemy's rear, join up with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, and welcome Chairman Mao Zedong and the Party Central Committee with new victories.Comrades Zheng Weisan and Chen Xianrui led part of the armed forces to persist in the Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi base area.The 25th Red Army marched westward to the south of Gansu, conquered Liangdang County, captured Tianshui County, and then crossed the Weihe River to the north, cutting off the Xilan Highway for 18 days. Against the Central Red Army.After many fierce battles, we repelled and annihilated the blocking and tail-chasing enemy forces.In the battle of Sipo Village, Jingchuan, more than 1,000 enemies were wiped out, and our side paid a high price. Comrade Wu Huanxian, the respected political commissar of the whole army, died heroically.This strategic action destroyed the enemy's rear, mobilized the enemy's troops to fight against us, and effectively coordinated the Central Red Army's northward march. On September 18, 1935, our army arrived at Yongping Town, Yanchuan County, joined forces with the 26th and 27th Red Army, and successfully completed the second Long March.After the rendezvous of the two armies, in order to fight in unison, the 25th Red Army, the 26th Red Army, and the 27th Red Army were combined into the 15th Red Army. political commissar.Our regiment immediately went into the battle to break Chiang Kai-shek's "encirclement and suppression" of the Shaanxi-Gansu border area, and decided to switch to outside operations, encircle Ganquan, cut off the enemy's rear transportation line, mobilize enemy reinforcements in Yan'an, and eliminate the enemy in mobile warfare.Sure enough, at Laoshan, south of Yan'an, the two regiments and the entire division of the 110th Division of the Northeast Army were wiped out, and the enemy commander He Lizhong was killed; , Gao Fuyuan, the head of the enemy regiment, was captured alive. In late October, the Central Committee and the Red Army arrived in the Xiasiwan area of ​​Ganquan and joined forces with the 15th Army Corps.Under the command of Chairman Mao Zedong, Vice Chairman Zhou Enlai and Comrade Peng Dehuai, the Central Red Army and the 15th Red Army conducted the battle of Zhiluo Town.After annihilating the 109th Division of the enemy, the Central Red Army chased and wiped out a fleeing enemy regiment in Heishuisi.Vice-Chairman Zhou came to our position before dusk, personally led us to inspect the terrain of Shizhaizi, and instructed us: the enemy wants to escape, and he must be wiped out during the movement.Our army launched an attack that night, and the remnants of the enemy broke through and fled, but were all annihilated by our army in pursuit.In this battle, the entire division of the enemy's 109th Division and a regiment of the 106th Division were wiped out.So far, the Kuomintang army's third siege of the Shaanxi-Gansu border area was completely smashed, and a foundation stone laying ceremony was held for the task of the Party Central Committee to place the national revolutionary base camp in the northwest.Since then, the Chinese revolution has entered a new period. The Red Twenty-Five Army has expanded from more than 2,980 people at the beginning to more than 3,700 people, and its military and political quality and combat effectiveness have also been greatly enhanced.Comrades Zheng Weisan and Chen Guangrui led the two companies and wounded cadres and soldiers who remained in the Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base Area to form the Seventy-Fourth Division. It is a Red Army unit of more than 1,700 people.Under the leadership of Comrade Gao Jingting, the 28th Red Army persisted in guerrilla warfare for three years in an extremely difficult environment and preserved the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas.At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red 28th Army became a detachment of more than 3,100 people in the New Fourth Army. After breaking up with Vice Chairman Zhou in Ruijin and meeting again in the Shaanxi-Gansu base area, I couldn't help but be filled with passion.Vice Chairman Zhou said to me enthusiastically: In the summer of a year ago, you were sent to Hubei, Henan and Anhui because of the Daye military violence. , became part of the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Red Army, and they once fought with you. After more than 50 years, his utter friendship to his comrades is still touching!It has been 12 years since Comrade Enlai left us, but he will always be a monument in my heart.
