Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Li Yan finally understood the cause and effect

My heart is full of complexity

Li Yan originally considered that the 45th Division had a different training system from the Red Army in Meishan.

On the battlefield, the coordination is poor

Therefore, in the first battle, we did not plan to use these newly recruited Shandong soldiers as the main force.

But I didn't expect that doing so would hurt these people's self-esteem.

Li Yan saluted everyone

Then he said sincerely: "I would like to apologize to everyone here first."

"I was inconsiderate and made you suffer."

“But I definitely don’t look down on anyone.”

"We Shandong people are all brave men, and I have also learned about everyone's situation privately."

"Many people were killed because the Japanese occupied Jiaodong and then the warlords fought each other."

"Everyone joins the army to survive"

"After joining the National Army, there are many things you don't want to do"

“But we have to do it.”

"But you still adhere to the bottom line of 'save the country, save the people, don't fear death, don't love money'."

“That alone deserves everyone’s respect.”

"So I promise, from today on, I will treat everyone the same."

After he said this, more than 20 people in the yard burst into tears.

In order to survive these years,

Like a stray dog, being chased from north to south

Being ostracized and cursed, having trouble eating and sleeping every day

There is too much pressure and grievance in my heart

Until now, they have met someone like Li Yan who understands them and speaks to their hearts.

Li Yan was also very sad. There were too many Shandong people like the 45th Division.

How humble people are in this era.

At the same time, Li Yan was also pleased

They have gone through so many hardships and still have a conscience.

This is the true soul of China's immortality

"Instructor, instructor, Tong Liang and Dai Ping are back."

The leopard rushed directly into the yard and shouted loudly

Li Yan asked: "Is Lu Yun here too? Where are they?"

Leopard said: "Yes, it's at the headquarters."

Li Yan and Lu Zhiguo looked at each other

Lift your legs and leave

Li Yan suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Tiger Head"

"It's true that we in the Red Army value equality for all."

“But we also value thriftiness.”

"You take the lead and eat pancakes with green onions."

"If you can't finish your meal today, I'll put you in solitary confinement."

After that, Li Yan laughed and left the yard with Lu Zhiguo and Leopard.

The Shandong soldiers in the yard all watched Li Yan leave.

I secretly made up my mind that I would never surrender this time.

Just walked into the command room door

Li Yan saw Lu Yun, with a rosy face, sitting in the command room with Dai Ping and Dong Liang drinking tea.

As soon as I saw Li Yan come in

Lu Yun laughed and stood up: "Captain Li, congratulations on annihilating the 108th Brigade, the ace unit of the National Army today!"

Li Yan also smiled and said: "Your reconstruction of the 19th Route Army is a cause for celebration."

They both burst into laughter

Tong Liang and Dai Ping also saluted Li Yan and Lu Zhiguo with a smile and shouted, "Instructor, Chief of Staff!"

Li Yan smiled and waved his hand: "You have worked hard these past two days."

“Haven’t you eaten yet?”

"It just so happens that the kitchen staff has made some delicious food today. You two should follow Leopard and go eat first."

"If you have anything to say, tell me later"

"By the way, let the kitchen prepare a banquet. Mr. Lu has come from afar, so we must entertain him well."

Lu Yun smiled and did not stop

After Leopard and his men left, only Li Yan, Lu Yun, and Lu Zhiguo were left in the command room.

After introducing each other, the three sat down

Lu Yun said directly: "Captain Li, you asked someone to call me here, you didn't just want to have a meal, did you?"

Li Yan also became serious at this time and said: "Mr. Lu, I do have something to talk to you about."

"I think you are also aware of the current situation in southwestern Fujian."

"Our Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district is in imminent danger, and we need your help."

Lu Yun nodded: "Captain Li"

"As for our relationship, just say whatever you want to say."

"As long as it is something that the 19th Route Army can do, we will definitely not refuse."

Li Yan said directly without hesitation: "I hope your 19th Route Army will send troops to attack Zhangping."

Lu Yun was stunned

When he came, Lu Yun did think that Li Yan would ask the 19th Route Army for help.

But I didn't expect to be asked to attack Zhangping

I couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "Captain Li, I'm telling the truth."

"We have indeed gathered more than three divisions of troops in Yong'an now."

"But now the nationalist troops in Ninghua, Qingliu and Sanming are also ready to make a move."

"With the number of troops we have, if we attack Zhangping, I don't think we can even hold Yong'an."

"But now security groups from all over the country are gathering in Yong'an."

"If you give us another week, it will be absolutely fine."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu, attacking Zhangping will benefit both of us."

"I know you have sent people to Nanjing to negotiate with the Nationalist government."

“But now it has not recovered yet.”

“This is because the Nationalist government is waiting for news from Fujian.”

"Now the whole country is full of voices for uniting to resist Japan"

“The Nationalist government also had to take it seriously.”

"But why do they still dare to attack our Red Army despite public criticism?"

"That's because if our Fujian Red Army fails, they can collect wealth here in Fujian without any worries."

"Then they bought weapons in large quantities, pretending to be ready for a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders."

"Then they directed their attacks at our Red Army and local forces."

"They will say that our presence has caused chaos in the area and caused economic downturn."

"Without economic support, the war against the Japanese invaders will have to be postponed."

"By that time, both we and you will be condemned by the public."

"On the contrary, if we can work together to resist the encirclement and suppression of the national army..."

"Then the national army will never dare to act rashly again."

"When the time comes, you can privately use the Nationalist prisoners as threats and publicize the 19th Route Army's determination to resist Japan in the newspapers."

"To save its image, the Nationalist government had no choice but to acknowledge your existence."

Lu Yun's brain was spinning rapidly

Every word Li Yan said makes sense

The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. History is written by the victors.

If the Red Army loses in Fujian, then the National Army can do whatever it wants.

The 19th Route Army was not yet firmly established. If it lost its reputation, it would also lose the support of the Red Army.

Even if the 19th Route Army had troops, it would still fail in the end.

After figuring it out, Lu Yun no longer hesitated and asked directly: "Captain Li, tell me about your plan?"

Seeing that Lu Yun had figured it out, Li Yan said, "We, the Red Army, will never let you suffer any loss."

"I hope you will first withdraw a brigade of troops."

"Quietly replacing our 3rd and 4th Regiments in the direction of Wan'an Town"

"Help us to tie down a division of the Nationalist army heading towards Wan'an Town."

"I will concentrate all my forces to attack Shanghang"

"Once we take Shanghang, we will follow Jiaoyang Town and go straight to the back of Wan'an Town."

"So we have four regiments and you have the strength of a brigade."

"We'll attack from both sides and take down this division in one fell swoop."

"Then only one brigade of the Nationalist Army remained in Changting, Longyan, and Zhangping."

"The Nationalist Army in Changting did not dare to act rashly"

"Don't forget that there are still our Red Army troops on the Fujian-Jiangxi border. They won't let us connect together."

"That leaves one brigade each from Longyan and Zhangping."

"When the time comes, you take Zhangping and we take Longyan"

......

"Then we split it into two parts, with Yong'an and Zhangping as the boundary."

"Jointly manage Fujian"
