Chapter 28 (3) Slapping the table against "foreign consultants"

On December 11, 1934, the Red Army occupied Tongdao County, Hunan Province. At this time, the deployment of Jiang's army was very obvious. The 16 divisions of Xueyue, Liu Jianxu, Zhou Hunyuan, and Li Yunjie arrived at Chengbu, Suining, Hongjiang, Qianyang, and Jingxian. In the area of ​​Shicun, Shicun, and Shijingshan, Wang Jialie deployed troops on the line of Jinping and Liping.In this way, Jiang Jun, who was five or six times stronger than the Central Red Army, laid a pocket on the way the Central Red Army went north to Xiangxi. If the Central Red Army still followed the original marching route, marched westward to occupy the passage, and prepared to go to the west of Hunan and Hubei to join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps, it would be tantamount to drilling into the pockets that Jiang Jun had pre-stretched.

The next day, Zhou Enlai presided over an emergency meeting of the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and the Red Army Headquarters at Gongcheng Academy on the hillside outside the city to discuss the Red Army's course of action. Li De was also notified to attend the meeting.When Li De and his translator Xiao Wu walked into the venue, they didn't see Bo Gu, but they saw Mao Zedong, Luo Fu, and Wang Jiaxiang present.In particular, the participation of Mao Zedong made Li De feel very strange, because he had not seen Mao Zedong at a meeting of this level for a long time.He hurriedly asked Zhou Enlai: "Why doesn't Comrade Bogu come to participate?"

Zhou Enlai said: "I decided to hold this meeting on a temporary basis. Only comrades in the city are invited to participate. This is neither a meeting of the Politburo nor a meeting of the Military Commission. It can be regarded as a meeting of leaders!" Hearing Zhou Enlai's explanation, Li De could still accept it.Bogu was not in Tongtong City at this time, and other members of the Political Bureau and Military Commission who were in other places did not come to participate.But he was very annoyed that Mao Zedong was able to sit beside him at this time.Why did Zhou Enlai invite Mao Zedong at this time?But it was difficult for him to speak out, his face was gloomy.In addition, during this period of time, he contracted malaria, his body was weak, and his whole body was deformed when he got angry.

Zhou Enlai was waiting for Li Delai. After seeing Li Delai seated, he said solemnly: "Comrades, everyone is invited to come today to discuss the marching route of the troops. Since entering Laoshanjie, comrades have had many discussions. Among them One is the whereabouts of the troops. This question is not ordinary, it is the top priority before us! If you have any ideas, please bring them up!" After listening to Xiao Wu's translation, Li De opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Enlai: "Isn't the course of action already decided before departure? Apart from acting according to the original plan, I don't know what other ideas you have! "

Zhou Enlai said: "The situation has changed. On our original marching route, Jiang Jun has deployed heavy troops..." "Didn't Jiang Jun deploy heavy troops along the way?" Li De rushed to speak without waiting for Zhou Enlai to finish speaking. "They deploy their heavy troops, and we go our way. When we made this action plan, we didn't think that Jiang's army would stay away from us, and let us go easily and swagger!" Zhou Enlai said, "Comrade Li De, is your opinion that the march must be carried out as planned?" Li Delue thought for a moment, and said: "Zhou Hunyuan's troops are chasing us on the same parallel line as ours, and other troops are also rushing to the strategic point to the west. Let them overtake us, and we will turn north behind them. , Join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps. Relying on the base area of ​​the 2nd Army Corps and adding the 2nd and 6th Army Corps, we can attack Jiang’s army in a wide area and create a large Soviet area in the triangle bordering the three provinces of Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.”

Zhou Enlai looked around at the participants and said, "What do you think of Comrade Li De's opinion?" Mao Zedong, who had been meditating, spoke at this time.He said: "I disagree with Comrade Li De's opinion." Li De stared and said in a mocking tone: "Mr. Mao, please advise!" "Don't dare to be. How dare you dare to give advice to the advisor!" Mao Zedong retorted, "We just crossed the Xiangjiang River. I don't think the advisor will forget the situation soon! Why did we suffer so much on the side of the Xiangjiang River?" What about the big setback?" He deliberately paused, staring at Li De with burning eyes.

Li De tilted his head, puffed on his cigar, his face was a reddish brown. "Since we set off from Jiangxi, we have been chased and intercepted by the enemy. Now, we are still being chased and intercepted by the enemy!" Mao Zedong's voice was a little slow, but his tone was very strong. "Chiang Kai-shek already knew where we were going, and deployed heavy troops on the way we were going. It was equivalent to opening a big pocket waiting for us to drill! We knew this was the case, why did we still go to a dead end?" Li De pointed to Mao Zedong and asked loudly: "Then tell me, where are we going?"

Mao Zedong also replied loudly: "We should enter Guizhou, where the enemy's forces are relatively weak." Li De smiled coldly and said, "I thought you Mao Zedong really had some superhuman tricks! Hey, what are we going to Guizhou for? Don't forget, our original plan was to go to Xiangxi to fight with the 2nd and 6th Army Corps. After the rendezvous, establish a Soviet area there. This plan has been approved by the Communist International!" Mao Zedong also sneered and said: "I know that the original plan was approved by the Communist International, but it was not approved by Chiang Kai-shek! If you want to go, Mr. Chiang won't let you go!"

"Mao Zedong, you are too much!" Li De slapped the table and shouted, pointing at Mao Zedong. "You don't even pay attention to the decision of the Communist International, what do you want to do?" Zhou Enlai's face darkened, and he said sharply to Li De: "Comrade Li De, how can you speak with such an attitude? If there is any problem, you can discuss it calmly!" "Ignoring the decision of the Communist International is absolutely not allowed!" Li De shouted angrily. "Hey, why are you getting so angry?" Zhou Enlai said in a critical tone, "If you have any point of view, it is allowed to talk openly and honestly!"

"You blatantly despise the decision of the Communist International! You are too..." Li Deyi was so angry that his head was sweating, and he was in a trance for a while, as if he had been shot suddenly. "Comrade Li De, what's the matter with you!" Seeing Li De's abnormal expression, Zhou Enlai hurried over to help him.Seeing that Li De was in pain and knowing that it was caused by malaria, he called the guards and helped Li De back to his residence to rest.He sent Li De out the door, Li De grabbed his hand and refused to let go, out of breath and speechless.He said in a comforting tone: "Comrade Li De, don't worry! I will take care of it. You should have a good rest!"

Back at the venue, seeing Mao Zedong exchanging views with Luo Fu and Wang Jiaxiang enthusiastically, Zhou Enlai said: "Comrade Chairman Mao, you haven't finished your high-level discussion yet, please continue!" Mao Zedong said: "I still say that, I can't go to Xiangxi according to the original plan, but should enter Guizhou." Zhou Enlai looked at everyone and said, "What do you guys think of Comrade Mao Zedong's proposal?" Luo Fu said: "I agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's suggestion." Wang Jiaxiang said: "I also agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's suggestion." Zhou Enlai pondered for a while, and said: "Well, let's march to Liping first. When we arrive in Liping, we will hold a Politburo meeting to discuss the next action plan." Hearing what Zhou Enlai said, Mao Zedong, Luo Fu, and Wang Jiaxiang all had joyful smiles on their faces. After entering Laoshanjie, the three of them began to discuss the military line and policy, criticized the mistakes of the "Left" central military command, and reached a consensus on the whereabouts of the Red Army after breaking through the fourth blockade line of the Jiang army.But they were very worried whether their proposition would be opposed by Zhou Enlai. They know how important it is to have Zhou Enlai's support!If Zhou Enlai did not support it, it would be quite difficult for their proposition to gain the upper hand and be accepted by the trio. In the three-person group at this time, Bo Gu, who did not understand military affairs, still relied on Li De. After Li De crossed the Xiangjiang River, it was not so much that he was not used to the harsh climate in the south and contracted malaria and was physically and mentally exhausted. Xiangjiang was frustrated and dejected.This foreign consultant is very good at talking on paper, but once he is asked to command a big battle, he seems to be lacking in confidence and unable to do what he wants. Only Zhou Enlai, at any time he remained calm, strategizing.After crossing the Xiangjiang River, he actually played the leading role in the trio, and he made the final decision on major military affairs.His military leadership has until now been unreplaced.Now, he is finally beginning to take Mao Zedong's advice.Moreover, this decision was made when he played a leading role in the trio. The next morning, Li De sent someone to call Zhou Enlai.Zhou Enlai thought that Li De was seriously ill, so he rushed to Li De's residence in the primary school.Seeing that Bogu was also there, the two were chattering over a telegram.The telegram was drafted by Zhou Enlai last night in accordance with the spirit of the daytime meeting's decision and released in the name of the Military Commission.The telegram ordered all units of the Field Army to change their planned marching route and march towards Liping.Judging from their expressions, Zhou Enlai knew that they were very unhappy with the telegram. Zhou Enlai asked about Li De's condition with concern, but he seemed impatient. He slapped the telegram draft in his hand on the table and said in a questioning tone: "Comrade Zhou Enlai, you ordered the troops to march towards Liping, and I Comrade He Bogu knows nothing about this! Please explain the details to us." "This order was issued based on the decision made at yesterday's meeting." Zhou Enlai said in a calm tone as much as possible. "The troops broke through the enemy's four blockade lines in a row and have just crossed the old mountain boundary. Now they need to rest. In Guizhou, the enemy's strength is relatively large." Weak, so everyone's opinion is that you should go there to rest." "This item was not included in our original plan, and you Zhou Enlai participated in the drafting of that plan!" Li De said gruffly, "Mao Zedong, Luo Fu, and Wang Jiaxiang want to change our original plan. I understand this. But you, Zhou Enlai, support them and this group, it's simply inexplicable!" "What's so difficult to understand?" Zhou Enlai became impatient, and his tone of voice raised. "The troops first go to Liping to rest. If there is any problem, we will hold a meeting in Liping to decide." "This is not superfluous!" Li De sneered, "Going to Liping to rest, if it is not superfluous, then we have abandoned the original plan and acted according to Mao Zedong's plan!" "Comrade Li De, if you have any comments, please bring them up in Liping!" Zhou Enlai said in a strong tone, "I have issued the order, and the troops are also acting according to the order. It is impossible to take back the order." Seeing that Zhou Enlai was uncharacteristically angry, Bogu couldn't help panicking.He hastily smoothed things over and said: "If the troops go to Liping first, then go north from Liping after a rest, and join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps in western Hunan. In my opinion, this is not much different from our original plan." Li De stared at Bo Gu, as if he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he asked loudly, "You think so too?" Bogu took a look at Zhou Enlai and said to Li De: "Now the army really needs to rest and reorganize, so it's okay." Li De thought hard for a moment, looked at Zhou Enlai, and said to Bogu: "Since you have no objection, then let's make this decision first. However, I want to remind you that Mao Zedong and his gang are setting a trap for you. You must not be deceived!" At 6:00 on December 12, the Military Commission issued a telegram to Lin Biao and Nie Rongzhen that the 1st Army Corps on the West Route should enter Guizhou via Yanyingpo, Xinchang, and Malukou; Boundaries set their own course.Under the current conditions that the Hunan enemy is chasing us, the 1st Army should regroup a little bit, and it should not be too scattered, which is not conducive to combat. At 19:30 on the same day, the Military Commission issued an "urgent" telegram to the heads of all regiments and columns. The telegram said that the Hunan enemy was advancing towards the channel with the main force of Tao Guang's 1st Army, and other routes continued to advance towards Hongjiang and Jingxian, and were preparing to enter Guizhou.There is news that Guidi plans to enter the regiment from Linxi.Therefore, the deployment of our army to continue westward on the 13th is: the 2nd Division of the 1st Army Corps and the 9th Army Corps should advance to the Xinchang, Yayingpo, and Karst Cave areas, send alerts to Jing County, and continue to send reconnaissance troops to Malukou and Liping ; The 3rd Corps, with the goal of quickly breaking away from the enemy in Guangxi, marched with the main force to the Tousuo and Tousuo areas of the Yatunpu regiment, and guarded against guerrillas in the direction of Linxi and Guyi; the 1st and 2nd columns of the Military Commission planned to advance to the area north of Boyang; The 8th Army Corps should rush to the Tuxi and Yuanxin Tuan areas, and should find another route to advance westward from Shuangjiangkou without passing through Yatunpu. On December 15, the Red Front Army broke through Jiang's defense lines in Liping and Jinping and captured Liping County. At this time, Jiang Jun's Qianbu, He Jian, Xueyue's troops, and Gui Jun respectively stood on the front line of Qingshui River and approached Tongren, Jinping, Tianzhu and Rongjiang in Guizhou. After Zhou Enlai and Zhu De entered Liping, after analyzing the latest mobilization of Jiang's army, they decided not to cross the Qingshui River according to the original plan, to reconnaissance and guard against Tianzhu and Jinping, and march westward along the south bank of the Qingshui River to occupy Jianhe. On the third night after the Red Army captured Liping, Zhou Enlai presided over a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in a beautiful house next to the church in the city.Bo Gu, Luo Fu, Zhu De, Chen Yun, Mao Zedong, Wang Jiaxiang, Liu Shaoqi, Li De and others attended the meeting.Xiao Wu sat next to Li De and was responsible for the translation.The main topic of the meeting was whether the troops should go north to Xiangxi to join the 2nd and 6th Red Corps as originally planned, or change the marching route and enter northern Guizhou to establish a new Soviet area on the border of Sichuan and Guizhou. At the beginning of the meeting, Bogu said in an unquestionable tone: "Go to Xiangxi to join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps and establish a Soviet area there. This is our original plan. This plan was reported to the Communist International for approval. Now, We can only act according to the plan approved by the Comintern, and don't think about any other plans." Mao Zedong always expressed his opinion after everyone else had spoken.This time he was uncharacteristically, and took the lead in responding to Bogu's words: "It is of course a great thing to be able to go to Xiangxi to join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps as originally planned. But now Chiang Kai-shek has deployed heavy troops on our way to Xiangxi. If you want to go, it is tantamount to drilling into the enemy's open pocket!" His scorching gaze pierced through the lenses of myopia glasses and shot straight at Mao Zedong's face.He said in an eloquent tone: "Changing the marching route, will the enemy let us go? They can deploy heavy troops on our way to Xiangxi, and they can also deploy heavy troops on our way to other places!" Mao Zedong sneered and said: "A hero does not suffer from immediate losses. We know that the enemy has laid down heavy troops waiting for us, so why do we want to die at the enemy's guns?" With a straight face, Bo Gu raised his voice and said, "We don't need to continue arguing like this. I won't say anything else. If we want to change the marching route, we need to ask the Communist International for approval, but now our contact with the Communist International has been cut off!" Can we change the original plan without the approval of the Communist International?" Mao Zedong puffed on his cigarette irritably and fell silent.Bogu can't do without the "Commintern", which is really scary.The Communist International is the immediate boss of the CCP, who dares to defy the decision of the Communist International?Two years ago, because he did not implement the "offensive line" of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China under the guidance of Moscow, and ran counter to the 100% correct Wang Mingism, he was labeled a "rightist" and lost his military power. The humiliation of excluding, striking, and criticizing. Zhou Enlai's face was always gloomy, and it was not difficult to see from his expression that he was a little upset.He participated in the decision to go to Xiangxi to join the 2nd and 6th Red Corps and establish a Soviet area in Xiangxi, and he raised his hand during the vote.Now he has come to veto this decision that has been reported to the Communist International for approval!Making such a choice, he couldn't feel relaxed.If he supports Bo Gu and Li De's proposition and sticks to the original plan, he may not have to take any risks personally, but can he ignore the dangers of the troops for his own future?In fact, his personal fate is connected with the future of the troops. If the future of the troops is unpredictable, what about his personal future? After a long period of hard thinking, he said in a milder tone: "The enemy deployed heavy troops on our way to Xiangxi, which we did not expect before. That is to say, the situation has changed a lot now. Yes Therefore, we should also pay enough attention!" Bo Gu cast a resentful glance at Zhou Enlai and said, "Comrade Enlai, I firmly oppose this way of thinking about problems that deviates from principles!" "Should we consider the actual situation? Of course we must." Zhou Enlai said as calmly as possible, "We are on the march, and the battle situation changes every day. After we cut off contact with the Communist International, the situation here has changed a lot. changes. We should think of this, and what would happen if the Comintern learned of these circumstances?" Bogu said with a sad face: "Comrade Enlai, you are making an assumption. And this assumption itself is a departure from the principle!" Zhou Enlai smiled coldly and said, "Then I don't agree!" Li De has been smoking a cigar and listening to Xiao Wu's translation.At this moment, he couldn't sit still.As early as the passage, he had already accumulated a lot of resentment.The idea of ​​negating the original plan approved by the Communist International and changing the marching route was brought up by someone else, but it was Mao Zedong!In his view, Mao Zedong's guerrillaism and the offensive line of the Comintern were incompatible.Moreover, Mao Zedong's concept of guerrillaism has long been criticized. Mao Zedong has been excluded from the core of power for many years, so why is he making a comeback now, and pretending to be in power to dictate military decisions! This is not enough, his proposition was even supported by Zhou Enlai!How can this be endured?He can look down on Mao Zedong, but he dare not be unreasonable to Zhou Enlai.He is clear about Zhou Enlai's status and prestige in the party, and he cannot offend this person.But to Mao Zedong, he must not be polite. So, he first glanced at the participants with stern eyes, and said in a reprimanded tone: "I have never been able to figure out why you have to change the original plan? Go to Xiangxi to join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps, and the two troops will unite , we can establish a new Soviet area there, this is the best plan! How can we be afraid and change the original plan when we see the enemy's slight transfer?" Mao Zedong took a puff of smoke and said: "Comrade Li De, this is not a question of fear or not, but a question of strategy." "A joke! When did I ask you Mao Zedong for advice?" Li De sneered, "It is you Mao Zedong who shouted the most for changing the marching route! Don't forget that your rightist ideas and guerrillaism have long since It became famous!" Mao Zedong was annoyed, so he was not polite to Li De.He raised his voice and said: "Comrade advisor, don't forget that your regular warfare, your 'fort against fort' and 'short assault' strategies and tactics have caused us to lose the Central Soviet Area! Our Central Red Army has lost the Central Soviet Area by the time of departure. There are more than 80,000 horses in the Xiangjiang River, and only the current 30,000 people are left after crossing the Xiangjiang River!" Li De's buttocks were on fire, and he jumped into a rage.He pointed at Mao Zedong and shouted: "You are taking advantage of our temporary military defeat to incite the morale of the army and attack the correct line of the Communist International in order to achieve your ulterior conspiracy!..." "Comrade Li De, don't talk like that!" Zhou Enlai interrupted Li De. The anger in Li De's heart could no longer be controlled.Mao Zedong's irony made him feel that his authority had been challenged, which he could not tolerate.He threw the cigar butt in his hand on the ground, stood in the middle of the room, waved his arms and shouted: "What kind of strategy do you call this? Huh, it is clearly Chiang Kai-shek who frightened you! Seeing that the troops are mobilized, you are so frightened." My son, but also to change the marching route, this is an open confrontation with the Communist International line!" "Comrade Li De, what are you talking about?" Zhou Enlai asked angrily, pointing at Li Dezhi. "How dare you disobey the instructions of the Communist International!" Li De was probably too angry, and ignored Zhou Enlai's sharp questioning.He stomped his feet, waved his hands and yelled wildly: "How dare you do this? Hehe, let me see which one of you is so bold! I don't agree, don't even think about it! You..." "It's outrageous!" Zhou Enlai was so angry that he slammed the table.Because of too much force, the table shook, and the lantern on the table rolled to the ground.Xiao Wei, the guard standing at the door, hurried over and re-lighted the extinguished lantern. Everyone in the room, including Li De and Bo Gu, was stunned.They had never seen the gentle Zhou Enlai lose such a temper. Zhou Enlai stared at Li De with both eyes, and his voice was full of anger: "Comrade Li De, you are a military advisor sent by the Communist International, and we have always respected you. But you must also know that you are a military advisor, not an 'overlord', you cannot Point fingers at us condescendingly, let alone accuse us for no reason!" It took Li De a long time to recover, staring at Zhou Enlai and arguing: "Comrade Zhou Enlai! Don't I even have the right to criticize?" Zhou Enlai said loudly: "Is this criticism? You are using power to suppress people! You keep talking about the Communist International, and you always use the Communist International to suppress us! Do you want to listen to the opinions of the majority of comrades here? Have you respected the opinions of comrades?" Opinion?" Faced with Zhou Enlai's reprimand, Li De was speechless, filled with shame and annoyance, and walked away disgruntled as soon as he shook his hand. "Comrade Li De!..." Seeing that Li De was enraged and leaving, Bogu hurriedly followed Li De out the door. Mao Zedong, Luo Fu, Zhu De, Wang Jiaxiang and others looked at each other, with expressions of indignation and anxiety on their faces.The head of the Central Committee who held the highest power and the military advisor of the Comintern left the venue. How can this meeting continue?They unanimously cast their concerned eyes on Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai let out a long breath, and said decisively: "Don't pay attention to him, let's continue the meeting!" Hearing what Zhou Enlai said, Mao Zedong was relieved.After all, Bogu was the general manager of the Central Committee, and Li De was a military adviser sent by the Communist International. If Zhou Enlai did not object, or his attitude was a bit vague, it would be very difficult to overthrow their claims.Now, Zhou Enlai's attitude is so clear, he knows that his proposition will prevail. He stood up and said loudly: "Comrades Li De and Bo Gu insisted on going to Xiangxi to join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps as originally planned, and the idea of ​​establishing a Soviet area in Xiangxi will definitely not work. We should enter Guizhou, where Jiang's army is relatively weak. , Only in this way can we avoid large resistance, which will help us preserve our vitality and expand our troops. Therefore, I advocate that the new Soviet area should be on the border of Sichuan and Guizhou, not in western Hunan." Zhou Enlai looked at everyone and asked, "What's your opinion?" "I agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's proposition." Luo Fu said, "However, if you have any different opinions, comrades, try to raise them." "I also agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's opinion." Zhu De said, "From the current situation, we have no other way to go." "Yes. That's right." Wang Jiaxiang said, "Comrade Mao Zedong's proposition has been discussed with me and Comrade Luo Fu many times before the channel meeting, and we all think it is correct." Chen Yun and Liu Shaoqi also agreed with Mao Zedong's proposition. At this time, Bogu came back to the venue alone.Li De left in a huff, making him lose his backbone and appear anxious.Zhou Enlai glanced at Bogu and said: "Comrade Bogu, all comrades agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's proposition. We changed our plan to join the 2nd and 6th Army Corps in western Hunan, and moved to northern Guizhou to establish a new Soviet area in the Sichuan-Guizhou border area. You What's your opinion?" Bogu looked around at the participants, lowered his head, and let out a long breath. Seeing that Bo Gu was silent, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and asked everyone, "Do you have any comments, comrades?" "No more." Several people said almost at the same time. Zhou Enlai looked at Bogu again, and saw that Bogu had kept his head down and kept silent, and frowned.He originally wanted to wait for Bogu to express his opinion, but after thinking about it, he felt that doing so was too accommodating to Bogu alone, and put the opinions of the majority of comrades in a secondary position.So, he said in a decisive tone: "Then we will use Comrade Mao Zedong's opinion as the keynote, make a resolution in the name of the Politburo, and issue it to the entire party and army for implementation." After full discussion, the meeting finally passed the "Decision on Strategic Guidelines" of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.In view of the controversy within the central government, the meeting decided to hold a meeting of the Politburo after going to the Zunyi area to summarize the experience and lessons of military command since the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" war. After the meeting, the Secretariat of the Central Committee telegraphed the heads of the corps and columns, and informed the Politburo of the Central Committee of the decision on the strategic policy on December 18.The Political Bureau of the Central Committee believes that the decision to create a new Soviet base in western Hunan is now impossible.In order to enable our Field Army to achieve close coordination with the Fourth Front Army and the 2nd and 6th Army Corps in the future, we must seek a smooth environment in terms of political, economic, and residents' conditions, so as to facilitate the thorough smashing of the Fifth Army. The first "encirclement and suppression" and the future development of the Soviet movement and the Red Army. The Politburo believes that the new base area should be the Sichuan-Guizhou border area.In the area that should be centered on Zunyi at first, under unfavorable conditions, it should be transferred to the northwest area of ​​Zunyi.The actions of the field army when advancing in the direction of Zunyi: We should resolutely eliminate the enemy troops in Guizhou that hinder us, and try to avoid major battles with the enemies of Jiang, Hunan, and Guangxi.However, when encountering the above-mentioned enemy forces on the advancing route, we should attack them to ensure that we advance to the designated area.In order to ensure the implementation of this strategic decision, we must resolutely oppose the pessimistic and disappointing failure sentiments of underestimating our own strength and the dangerous tendency of growing guerrillaism.The Political Bureau of the Central Committee instructs the Military Commission to formulate military action plans at various stages in accordance with this decision.The Secretariat of the Central Committee shall work with the Political Department to strengthen political work to ensure the realization of this decision and the deployment period of military operations.
