Chapter 14 Chapter 14 People are tired and horses are exhausted, Mao Zedong asks his subordinates for cigarettes

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Three Armies, in order to get rid of the huge threat from the party and the army, took decisive emergency measures, and quietly retreated northward from Brazil and its vicinity at 2 o'clock in the morning in the autumn of 1935. It was the most thrilling journey since the Western Expedition. It is also the darkest journey taken by Mao Zedong and other communists in the history of the Communist Party of China.During this journey, in addition to the overlapping obstacles set up by nature and the hunting and killing of enemies with claws and claws, there is also a layer of dark swords stabbed by comrades in one's own camp.It is easy to hide a bright spear, but hard to guard against a dark sword.One leaf knows autumn, so plan ahead.Mao Zedong and other CCP leaders took timely actions to get rid of the coercion from the aggressive Zhang Guotao, led his troops to escape from the danger zone, and took difficult steps, determined to establish a base in a new area, and then carry out the arduous, tortuous and complicated struggle .

Mao Zedong saw Yang Shangkun and Ye Jianying talking with him in a small village under a big mountain, and after taking a nap, he continued on his way.The rugged mountain trails, coupled with the fact that he did not close his eyes last night, made Mao Zedong very tired, dizzy, and his legs and feet were weak.Since joining the revolution, it was the first time that he was coerced by comrades in the party and faced such a dangerous situation.If we did not take action last night and "escaped" secretly, what an embarrassing situation the Chinese revolution would have faced, and what a huge disaster the Red Army would have faced. It is unimaginable!Looking back, and thinking about the frequent exchange of letters and letters with Zhang Guotao in the past few days, especially the change last night, he felt thrilled, and he felt lingering fear when he thought about it.Why does the Chinese Communist Party have so many disasters?Why are there so many thorns on the road of Chinese revolution?No matter how rough the road under his feet, how dark the surroundings are, or how dangerous the situation is, he is determined to step forward, shoulder tons of difficulties, and work with like-minded comrades to welcome the arrival of the light step by step.

"Boom!" An enemy plane dropped a bomb on the mountain where Mao Zedong was marching.The smoke and air waves that were raised filled the valley.This is the only place leading to Gannan. The enemy has set up a blockade, and red tongues of fire are gushing out from the bunkers.The three armies are fighting hard to pass through the enemy's blockade.Mao Zedong didn't dare to go any further, and hid in the rock cavity on the back of the mountain with the secret agents.Mao Zedong lay on the damp stones in the rock cavity, took out the pocket watch in his pocket and looked, the hour hand was pointing at 4 o'clock.He felt a little hungry, since he had chewed two highland barley buns yesterday afternoon, so it was almost a day ago, and he hadn't eaten anything or drank a sip of water.Calculate the distance traveled, at least eight or ninety miles.Mao Zedong asked Xiao Chen if he had something to satisfy his hunger; Xiao Chen said that he left too hastily last night, and because lights were not allowed, everyone fumbled out in the dark, and the dry food bag was dropped, so he didn't bring it out.Originally there were more than 2 catties of fried barley noodles, if you bring them out, you can completely satisfy your hunger.Mao Zedong didn't blame Xiao Chen for his negligence at all. In such an emergency last night, who would care about such a little barley noodles.So Mao Zedong had no choice but to take out his cigarette, light it up, and smoke it one mouthful after another, using the cigarette to "satisfy his hunger".

Mao Zedong marched in extreme fatigue and hunger, and the Red Army soldiers were no exception.The hungry and tired body still has to deal with the enemy's attack and fight bravely, otherwise, everyone's life will be in danger.Kui Ye quietly withdrew, called "grain hunting", but in fact, everyone hardly brought a grain of food. "Fleeing in a hurry", everyone slipped out on an empty stomach.After walking for a day without eating, I burned my saliva to moisten my parched tongue and comfort my empty stomach, but in order to prevent enemy planes from finding the target of fireworks, I dared not even boil water.So everyone was struggling between exhaustion, hunger, and thirst.Opening a pair of eyes that were about to turn green due to hunger, he searched around intently to see if he could find something to eat.Horrified and terrified eyes, watching the "patronage" of the plane bomb from time to time, each of them sighed, showing a look of waiting to die, the god of death may snatch their frail lives at any time.

Some soldiers were so hungry that while avoiding air raids, they quietly searched for wild vegetables on the rock walls. There are no wild vegetables in this northwest highland with long loess, but clusters of weeds grow in damp places.Baptized by the autumn wind, these weeds have gradually withered and turned yellow, losing their green life and nutrients.The young warrior discovered the weeds, like Columbus discovering the New World, he uprooted the weeds, weakly shook the soil from the roots, wiped his dirty clothes, and began to chew greedily.This bitter and astringent weed has a real taste but not a taste.The soldiers chewed for a while, then lay down next to the small puddle where water accumulated on the rock wall, bent down, and sucked the muddy sandy water.

In the evening, the sound of rumbling enemy planes disappeared in the distant sky, and the soldiers who were so thirsty dared to climb out of the cover and took some weeds and shrub poles to boil water.Those warriors who brought a little highland barley flour mixed it with boiled water and swallowed it; some warriors with fried wheat soaked it in boiling water and chewed it.At this time, there is highland barley flour and fried wheat to satisfy the hunger, which is considered the best and the best food, and it can be said to be a "Hua Banquet".The boiled turbid yellow water mixed with fried black, yellow, black and yellow highland barley flour was like mud sauce, and the starving soldiers swallowed it in big mouthfuls.The fried highland barley, soaked in boiling water, slowly began to swell. In the mottled enamel tank, it looked like grains of sand. When the soldiers chewed it, it was sweeter than anything else. It surpassed the "eight treasure rice" on the feast. ", "Pearl porridge".

Mao Zedong was no exception. In the evening, sitting on the uninhabited loess hills, he ate a vat of highland barley flour mixed with boiling water.Compared with other commanders, it was a little extravagant. It was Mao Zedong who ate a few more fried peppers prepared for him by the civil servant Xiao Chen.These peppers were bought by Xiao Chen from Tibetans when he was stationed in Maoergai.After buying it, Xiao Chen fried it with ghee until it was browned.When Mao Zedong found it boring, he picked two of them to satisfy his cravings.Mao Zedong took a sip of the dark barley paste, and then chewed the pungent taste released by the small peppers, and some hot sweat oozes from his wide forehead.He wiped it with his hands and felt cool. At this time, cold sweat began to break out from his vest, his head felt dizzy, and he felt nauseous. reaction, physiological phenomenon.He closed his eyes slightly, and forced himself to calm down, trying to restore balance to his unbalanced mind.Mao Zedong exerted great will to restrain himself, but there was not much effect. His eyes turned black, his ears began to buzz, his nausea intensified, and he wanted to vomit, but his stomach was empty.He kept retching, the sound of "ohhhhhh" was repeated and intermittent, the pepper he just swallowed strongly stimulated the empty stomach wall, his chest felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick, and there was a burst of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh As a result of his vomiting, he spit out mouthfuls of yellow water, which must be a mixture of hot peppers, barley flour, and gastric juices that he had just swallowed.Mao Zedong lowered his head and vomited for a while, feeling better.As a result, all the little food he ate in one day seeped into the loess under his feet, leaving an empty stomach.He used the enamel jar that still had some highland barley flour paste, scooped up some boiling water, rinsed his mouth, and walked slowly to a small tree, thinking, I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night here tonight, so let's get a good sleep. At dawn, we will go on our way again, and we will talk again when we arrive at Gaoji (that is, the Russian border) in southern Gansu.

Mao Zedong sat under the little tree, leaning against the trunk as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and said to the little tree in his heart, tonight, you will be my bed, let me spend the night next to you.At this time, Xiao Chen came over with an oilcloth and said to Mao Zedong: "Chairman, the ground is wet. I will find you an oilcloth." Mao Zedong said with appreciation: "It's great to have this oilcloth tonight! It can shelter you from the wind and rain. Xiao Chen, you should go to sleep as soon as possible. We have to march in a hurry tomorrow morning." In this way, this team, which hurriedly escaped from the danger zone and traveled eighty to ninety miles, "set up camp" in this cold, empty and desolate corner of Northwest China.At this time, a very good wish arose in their hearts, that is, they hoped that it would not rain tonight, and that they would get a good night's sleep to relieve the extreme fatigue caused by the sudden rapid march for many days, especially since midnight last night.

Mao Zedong leaned against a small tree, closed his sleepy eyes and fell asleep for more than ten minutes. God seemed to be against them on purpose. Suddenly, it started to rain, and the surrounding area was beeping non-stop, making everyone restless. Go to bed, those who are sitting and those who are asleep, get up quickly.The sound of wind and rain at night makes me sleepy after a tired journey.Gusts of wind and torrential rain were blowing wildly in the dark countryside.God is too unfair, why should it rain heavily to torture these unsheltered and troubled soldiers!Does nature use such cruel means to test whether they are loyal to their beliefs.

Not only did Mao Zedong fail to sleep, he was drenched all over without a dry spot. Although he was standing with an oilcloth on his head, the rain was so heavy that an oilcloth would not help at all.This is completely different from when he was a young student in Changsha in his early years, in order to exercise his body, he deliberately took wind and rain baths! Mao Zedong stood upright in the stormy night, with a worn oilcloth on his head.During the interval between wind and rain, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when he touched his pocket, the cigarette was completely soaked. "Hehe——" He sneezed hard, shivering from the cold, his upper and lower teeth began to fight involuntarily.

All the Red Army campers were thoroughly drenched, and everyone cursed God's ruthlessness. If there is love, they should open their eyes and look at the poor Red Army campers below.The commanders and fighters thought to themselves, if God is the work of human beings, then they have to work hard with it. In the early morning of the next day, Mao Zedong was wrapped in wet clothes and trousers, and continued to march with the escaped Red Army. Mao Zedong's body temperature was difficult to dry the wet clothes and pants overnight, so that it was very inconvenient to move his legs and feet, as if something was restraining his body. It's really unpleasant to walk all the way and cough all the way.They hurried forward along the Baozuo River.The path after the rain was muddy and slippery, and it was extremely difficult to walk. Many people fell and fell, and many people seemed to be turned into clay figurines.They passed a very narrow path with precipitous cliffs on the left and the turbulent Baozuo River on the right. They moved very slowly, almost crawling, and fell into the torrent if they were not careful.In the afternoon, the water in the Baozuo River suddenly swelled up, and soon submerged the road, and the water depth on the road instantly reached several feet, making it impossible to walk.Because you can't see the path, if you step on the wrong foot, you will slide down the torrential yellow current.At this time, the sky is gradually getting dark again, and it is almost evening, should we stop advancing temporarily?Where to camp?And I don't know what the water situation will be like tomorrow?What if the chasing enemy takes the opportunity to catch up?It's really a dilemma, it's difficult to walk!Some people secretly resented: Why are there so many difficulties?Eat so much?One difficulty after another!One difficulty after another!Why is fate so bad!When will it be the end to be tortured by evil and difficulties?It seems that the life of disaster has to be handed over to these great hardships and dangers.In such a difficult and distressing situation, everyone had to do everything possible to move forward, struggling to move forward, fighting to move forward, because only by moving forward can there be a way out. People who can swim walk and swim along the river bank and float past.Those who can't swim will venture to climb the steep and dangerous cliffs, or brave the thorns and thorns in the grass in the gaps of the cliffs, and advance with difficulty.Mao Zedong swayed his tall body, walked and swam, ups and downs on the waterway by the river, the sudden flood did not cause him too much panic.Because in the early years, he once hit the water in the big river in his hometown, and the waves stopped the flying boat.He likes big winds and big waves, and he is not afraid of big winds and big waves. He believes that big winds and big waves are just a classroom for training one's will and perseverance.At this time, he was worried about the thousands of red seeds. He wanted to let them lose as little as possible and move them to a safer place as soon as possible.He is particularly worried about the elderly and sickly women in the recuperation company of the Ministry of Health cadres.There are also those who are injured and do not want to send the wounded and sick to follow the army. At this time, Zhou Enlai, who was sitting on a stretcher, had even more difficulty moving forward.In front of the flood, Zhou Enlai barely supported his emaciated sick body, left the stretcher and walked slowly towards the cliff. Two special agents, Xiao Wei and Xiao Fan, rushed forward to help him climb up the steep cliff with difficulty.Zhou Enlai was panting for breath, sweating profusely all over his body. He put his hand against his painful right abdomen from time to time, gritted his teeth, and climbed with difficulty step by step. However, news of those who drowned in the water due to lack of physical strength and struggled for half a day, and those who fell into the rapids while climbing on cliffs due to physical weakness, continued to spread to Mao Zedong's ears.He also saw with his own eyes the corpses of the Red Army floating with the water, floating and sinking with the waves in the turbulent turbid current, and his heart constricted.When it was dark, the Red Army, who passed through the gates of hell and escaped death, finally arrived in Gaoji one after another.Until 12 o'clock in the evening, a group of five and a group of ten soldiers, dragging their tired and hungry bodies, were still walking towards Gaoji. Fortunately, everyone who survived and came to Gaoji felt extremely tired and exhausted.This thrilling scene is no less than crossing the Xiangjiang River and rushing through the Wujiang River, no less than the violent waves of the Dadu River, the cruelty of the snow-capped mountains, and the filth of the grassland.There is an extra layer, and he is cautiously guarding against the cold arrows shot quietly by his comrades.It will be even more troublesome and difficult to deal with if your own people fight.External, internal, and all kinds of evils of nature rushed towards the Red Army.The Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese revolution are once again facing the challenge of a huge disaster and a huge crisis. When Mao Zedong arrived in Gaoji, it was already dark.This small village in southern Gansu is deathly silent.He was arranged to live in a low thatched hut.When he sat down on the bunk built by the door panel, he couldn't get up.His body felt paralyzed and uncomfortable, his waist was sore and limp, his legs were swollen, and his clothes and pants, which were wetted by the night rain and floating water, were mostly dried by the fumigation of body temperature.The half-wet and half-dry dirty clothes smelled of a strong sweaty acid smell, and it was constantly itching here and there, which was extremely uncomfortable, presumably it was because the lice felt uncomfortable after being soaked in water and kept struggling there, or something like this The nasty parasite was hungry, and was biting Mao Zedong's hungry flesh.At this time, Mao Zedong couldn't care so much anymore. His heart was tightly bound by the fate of the Red Army and the future of the Communist Party of China. He was concentrating on thinking about how to go on the road under his feet! Xiao Chen walked into the room, lit the lanterns for Mao Zedong, and brought Mao Zedong a jar of highland barley flour mixed with boiling water. Mao Zedong was so hungry that he took the jar and ate it hungrily.After eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said to Xiao Chen: "Do you have any cigarettes? Get a bag for me. One day I have some cigarettes, and I'm in a panic." Xiao Chen replied: "Okay, I'll do it." Mao Zedong also said: "Hurry up and find Comrade Luo Fu, I have something to do." Xiao Chen agreed and left the hut. After a while, Luo Fu, accompanied by Xiao Chen, stepped into Mao Zedong's room with a lantern. Luo Fu's clothes were not completely dry, and his body also had an unpleasant smell of sweat.Because of Brazil's rapid march at night and the many disasters encountered on the road, he was very embarrassed, and his face was even more ugly, with a layer of livid in the gray.Overnight, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and with the pair of myopia glasses, he looked more like a scholar in trouble. Seeing Luo Fu like this, Mao Zedong walked around and laughed, and said humorously: "Wen Tian, ​​you look like a 'deserter'." Luo Fu replied: "Everyone escaped originally, it's not what 'deserter' is." Mao Zedong smiled wryly: "Yes! We are all refugees, and finally escaped from Zhang Guotao's clutches." Luo Fu stared at Mao Zedong and saw that he was also wearing half-dry dirty clothes with his shirt unbuttoned. Zhang Guotao's tragic scene was completely caused by Zhang Guotao, otherwise, how could such a situation and fate be brought about.Sitting on the wooden bed, Luo Fu stared at Mao Zedong with a ray of anxious eyes behind his glasses and asked: "Old Mao, what do you want from me?" Mao Zedong said: "The day before yesterday, we evacuated Brazil in an emergency. This sudden action was unknown to the majority of cadres and soldiers. Comrade, we should meet here to unify our views and study the next steps, how about that?" Luo Fu nodded: "I think so too. After running out of Brazil, the troops are in a bad mood. For a day or two, many people have fallen behind, left behind and sacrificed. Many people don't understand this emergency operation. It is necessary to unify their understanding. Let me explain to the following." Mao Zedong immediately said: "The meeting will be held tomorrow, how about it? Everyone is here, so I can inform you." Mao Zedong yawned repeatedly while talking, looking very tired. At this time, it would be great if he had a cigarette to refresh him. Luo Fu pondered for a while and said: "Well. If there is a meeting tomorrow, we have to prepare. We must have a clear opinion on Zhang Guotao's splitting of the Red Army, make a resolution, and announce it within a certain range. It is best to call a few more people and hold an enlarged meeting." Mao Zedong stood up, waved his hand and said: "Zhang Guotao, it's not his problem alone. If we don't handle it well, it will implicate a large part of the Fourth Army. We must be cautious. At this time, we must not act emotionally!" Luo Fu was thinking about Mao Zedong's words, and there was a temporary silence in the hut.Only the flame of the lantern on the bedside stool dangled in the glass case, like a little elf, beating non-stop. The next morning, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held an emergency meeting at the Headquarters of the Three Corps in Cuntou. In addition to members of the Political Bureau, Cai Shufan, Ye Jianying, Lin Boqu, Li Weihan, Yang Shangkun, Li De, Lin Biao, Nie Rongzhen, Zhu Rui, Luo Ruiqing, Peng Dehuai, and Li Fuchun , Yuan Guoping and other persons in charge of various aspects have all been notified.Everyone found a bench and huddled together in the hut, all looking a little depressed.One by one, their puzzled eyes flickered, and they waited anxiously, as if they were anxiously expecting something again. Luo Fu briefly exchanged opinions with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, and then said to everyone: "Comrades, in the past two days, Zhang Guotao has caused some trouble. Some comrades may know about it. Zhang Guotao's trouble is not simple. He wants to split up. He sent a secret message to Chen Changhao to coerce us to go south. If he doesn't follow, he will 'Throughly launch the inner-party struggle'. In a word, everyone should follow him. There is no way out to the south, how can we follow him. So we had to leave Brazil as soon as possible. The situation was urgent. At that time, as soon as we decided to go, everyone Follow along, no explanation is allowed, there is no time. Everyone obeyed the orders of the central government, got up in the middle of the night, set out overnight, and finally escaped from the danger zone. This is luck among misfortunes. "This incident should now be explained to the commanders and fighters. First, this is a struggle between two lines, one is the central line, and the other is the right-leaning warlordism-Zhang Guotaoism. Comrade Guotao has since withdrawn from Tongnanba From the beginning, he gradually formed a line against the central government. He was afraid of the enemy. In the construction of the Red Army, he did not want the leadership of the party. The Red Army became an army ruled by individuals. In terms of training cadres, he wanted people who supported him. No matter in which aspect, the tendency of warlordism is fully displayed, which is obvious. "The problem exposed by Comrade Guotao should be made clear to the cadres. If his mistake of splitting the Red Army is not corrected, his future will inevitably be to form a second party, but is there any other way to make him change? I think it is possible. Because we still have Commander-in-Chief Zhu with him, comrades from the Fifth Army and the 32nd Army, and a large number of good cadres. After our work, it is still possible to win him over. We should try our best Strive for the latter possibility. "Secondly, why didn't the central government immediately launch a struggle against Comrade Zhang Guotao's wrong line? Because in the past, the central government stood on the Bolshevik line and treated him like an army on the one hand. After realizing his mistakes, they used many methods to win him over. Many methods were used, such as sending representatives, negotiating, making concessions, etc. But in the end they split. It seems that the central government’s efforts to win him failed. But the central government has adopted many correct methods. It is now , as long as there is still a chance, we will still win him. In the end, it is necessary to make an organizational conclusion, but this is only when it is completely impossible to win him. "Thirdly, due to the changed situation, our current strategic policy had to be changed, because the First and Fourth Front Armies were separated, and our strength was weakened. "Fourth, through the explanation of these many problems, our cadres should be more united and firmly believe that we are the only correct one. Some comrades feel that we are more united, and this view is correct." After listening to Luo Fu's concise introduction of the actions of the past day or two, the participants understood a lot.Because Luo Fu's speech clarified the central government's consistent correct policy in dealing with this issue, and reflected his own principled position on Zhang Guotao's mistakes.Everyone was very angry with Zhang Guotao's actions. The reunion of the two armies had been long awaited, but it was not easy. Today, Zhang Guotao broke up and wanted to hijack the central government and go south, blatantly defying the central government's policy of going north.Especially Ye Jianying and Yang Shangkun escaped and were almost chased by Chen Changhao's cavalry on the way. Thinking of the scene of the night before, they still have lingering fears.In the midst of everyone's condemnation, he became even more angry with Zhang Guotao at this time.So when Luo Fu had just finished speaking, Ye Jianying couldn't wait to stand up and said: "I propose to expel Zhang Guotao from the party!" Yang Shangkun said loudly: "I agree! Zhang Guotao is no longer worthy of being a Communist Party member." Peng Dehuai went on to add: "I can see that Zhang Guotao is ambitious." An atmosphere of desolation, desolation and righteous indignation shrouded the venue. Who wouldn't hate Zhang Guotao's sudden move?Seeing that the content of the meeting was being replaced by the opinions on the organization and handling of the discussion, Mao Zedong stood up, opened his clothes, put one hand on his waist, and pushed forward with the other palm: "Zhang Guotao cannot be expelled from the party. It is not appropriate to raise this issue at this time. Jianying and Shangkun, your opinion is not appropriate!" Everyone stared at Mao Zedong with strange eyes. Mao Zedong helped his fluffy long hair falling from his temples, and said to everyone: "When dealing with Zhang Guotao, I still say the same thing. I advise you to keep in mind the word 'tough'. To make brown sugar, you can't stop pulling it. Don't be a glass. The glass will break when you hit it. Zhang Guotao is not alone. Tens of thousands of the Fourth Front Army are involved. This is a very good revolutionary armed force under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. We must pay attention to uniting the vast Fourth Front Army. At this time, raising the issue of Zhang Guotao’s expulsion from the party will complicate and sharpen the issue. Going to the opposite side of the problem is not conducive to the overall situation of the revolution. We still have to strive for Comrade Guotao's transformation and let him return to the correct line. When encountering conflicts and difficulties, don't jump at the touch of a button, but talk about strategies , tell me the steps!" When Mao Zedong said this, a few people who originally supported Ye Jianying and Yang Shangkun's opinions stopped silent. They weighed the weight of Mao Zedong's speech in their hearts and thought that what Mao Zedong said was reasonable. Mao Zedong went on to say: "It was definitely wrong for Comrade Guo Tao to split. We insisted on the policy of going north, but Guo Tao opposed it and insisted on the opportunistic policy. After we joined him, he initially stayed put. In mid-July, the Party Central Committee instructed the Red Army to concentrate. As a result, Because Comrade Guotao obstructed it, it could not be realized. After he arrived in Luhua, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee decided that he should be the general political commissar of the Red Army, so he sent troops to the north. But when he came to Maoergai, he wavered again. When he arrived in Aba, he would not I would like to go north, but I want the right army to go south. At this time, some comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held an informal meeting in Enlai, and decided to send a telegram to Comrade Guotao, asking him to go north. But Comrade Guotao openly resisted the Central Committee. It was decided to call Chen Changhao privately, not only not to implement the policy of going north, but also to order us to go south. If we do not obey his orders, we will solve the problem by thoroughly launching inner-party struggle. Comrades, the enemy is now, and the environment is extremely difficult and dangerous. Let us fight our own comrades! What kind of situation will it be? It is unimaginable. Not only will both lose, but the fisherman will benefit. What good will the revolution do? Our situation is so difficult that we are not allowed to split and cause civil strife, Zhang Guotao The secret telegram is a very dangerous signal. It forces us to take urgent action to get out of danger. It is impossible to do otherwise. Zhang Guotao insists that there is no way out for going south. The terrain in the south is not good, and it is an ethnic minority area, and the supplies are not enough. Solved. The Red Army only has to reduce its personnel, and it is difficult to replenish. There is no strategic retreat. If it does not go north quickly, most of the troops will be wiped out. Obviously, the Central Committee cannot take the First and Third Army Corps to take this road. "Because the First and Fourth Front Armies have been separated, Zhang Guotao will go south, and the Chinese revolution will suffer serious losses. Therefore, the First and Third Armies must change their plans for establishing the Sichuan-Shanxi-Gansu base area, and use guerrilla warfare to open up international connections, close to the Soviet Union, and in the vast areas of Shaanxi, Gansu Seek development. The terrain and living conditions in the Shaanxi-Gansu area are better than those in the Sichuan-Kangsu area. As long as everyone is united and relies on guerrilla warfare, we can defeat the enemy and achieve our goals. "Zhang Guotao's mistakes were not accidental. He had already made serious mistakes when he was in the Tongnan Basu District. After smashing the enemy's six-way offensive and withdrawing from the Tongnan Basu District, he began to form a wrong line. We and the Fourth Front Army After the meeting, the central government thought of many ways to correct Zhang Guotao's tendency towards warlordism, but to no avail. Comrade Guotao's mistakes, if they continue to develop, may become warlordism, or oppose the central government and betray the revolution. The struggle with Zhang Guotao is two It is necessary to adopt the correct method of inner-party struggle to deal with the struggle between two lines. Finally, it is necessary to make an organizational conclusion. But we don’t do it yet, we must do our best to win him to the north.” After Mao Zedong finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Enlai and asked: "Well, tell me!" Zhou Enlai said to everyone: "I agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's opinion. For Comrade Guotao, we must do our best to fight for it. We are one step ahead. I believe he will follow him to the north soon." Luo Fu asked everyone: "Anything else?" Peng Dehuai said: "Since we have been separated from the Fourth Front Army and the number of troops has been severely reduced, in order to facilitate unified command, we should reduce the establishment." Mao Zedong immediately agreed: "Old Peng's opinion is right. The past organization is not suitable for the current operation, and the number of troops should be reduced." Zhou Enlai nodded aside. Luo Fu asked everyone: "Any new suggestions?" Deng Fa, Li Fuchun, Wang Jiaxiang, Nie Rongzhen, Yang Shangkun, Lin Biao, Bo Gu and others spoke one after another, all agreeing with Luo Fu and Mao Zedong's speeches.Unanimously support the Party Central Committee's policy on going north.In the end, everyone unanimously agreed on the "Decision on Comrade Zhang Guotao's Mistakes" drafted by Luo Fu and sent to the Central Committee members. According to Peng Dehuai's opinion on reducing the number of troops, the meeting decided to formally establish the "Shaanxi-Gansu Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", with Peng Dehuai as the commander, Lin Biao as the deputy commander, Mao Zedong as the political commissar, Wang Jiaxiang as the director of the political department, and Yang Shangkun as the deputy. director.In addition, a "five-member regiment" composed of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Wang Jiaxiang, Peng Dehuai, and Lin Biao was established as the highest leadership core of the entire army, that is, Peng Dehuai and Lin Biao were added to the "three-member regiment" established after the Zunyi Conference.In addition, an establishment committee headed by Li De was established, with members including Ye Jianying, Deng Fa, Cai Shufan, and Li Weihan, responsible for the drawdown of the troops.
