Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Chapter 139: The End of the Southwestern Fujian War

Before Li Yan asked

The Chief of Staff immediately asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yun did not hide it any more: "During the Fujian Incident, our 19th Route Army...

“Being beaten back step by step by the national army”

"That was because many senior officers in our 19th Route Army were not of one mind."

"I secretly joined the Nationalist Army at the beginning of the uprising"

"But these surrendered senior officers were not valued by the National Army."

“Instead, he was transferred to Nanjing”

"Reducing military power by publicly promoting but secretly demoting"

"The army I raised was purged a while ago."

"I'm not willing to give in"

"The officers who surrendered a few days ago knew that our 19th Route Army had already taken Yong'an."

"They privately found the people we sent to Nanjing for negotiations."

“They said they were giving us a helping hand.”

"We then realized that most of the security forces in Yong'an and Zhangping were their former subordinates."

"If we attack Longyan and Zhangping"

“They will cooperate with us.”

"That's why I said that taking Longyan and Zhangping would be a snap."

The old squad leader's eyes lit up, then he frowned and asked, "Mr. Lu?"

“Is this reliable?”

"Those officers who surrendered can betray you once"

"I can betray you a second time"

“Could this be a conspiracy of the national army?”

Li Yan shook his head and said: "No"

"Senior officers of the 19th Route Army who surrendered"

“Most of them happened in the later period of the Fujian Incident”

"If they really agreed with the national army, they wouldn't have fought for so long."

"Finally, surrender is because you feel that it is impossible to do anything and you give up resistance."

"At least I can keep my men alive."

Lu Yun sighed slightly: "The one who knows us is Captain Li."

"But Mr. Li knew that those senior officers who surrendered would contribute to the resurgence of the 19th Route Army."

"Also discusses the reasons for the failure of the Fujian Incident"

“The biggest reason is political error”

"An uprising broke out in Fujian at that time"

“A mix of many parties”

"These parties all share a common goal of resisting Japan."

"But apart from this, the rest of their political ideologies and military approaches are very different."

"To hastily establish a new government without achieving a unified ideology"

"Overestimating one's own power"

"So Mr. Li said that the failure of the Fujian Incident cannot be entirely blamed on those generals who surrendered."

"At the same time, Mr. Li also said that these people can be trusted to cooperate."

"The reason why these people found the 19th Route Army again"

"That's because they have now put aside their selfish political opinions."

“I also understand the reasons why the Fujian Incident failed.”

"Unity"

"More importantly, they don't want to see the team they built with their own hands"

"Destroyed by the Nationalist Army"

“So this time they came to us with one request.”

"Then wait until the 19th Route Army has gained a firm foothold and treat those soldiers who surrendered to the National Army well."

Li Yan, the old squad leader, and Lu Zhiguo both nodded.

Especially the old squad leader and Lu Zhiguo, they understand these people very well.

Because they all experienced the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Soviet area.

Soon the two sides reached an agreement

It only took 2 days

The 19th Route Army captured Zhangping

Meishan Red Army takes Longyan

The only pity is that when the commander of the 80th Division felt that the situation was hopeless, he fled south with his guard company.

Li Yan also kept his promise

Hand over all captured Kuomintang officers to the 19th Route Army

The 19th Route Army also used these prisoners to launch another round of negotiations with the National Army.

During the negotiation process

The main force of the national army heading south entered a frenzy

People change species, grass burns, stone cuts

The 19th Route Army also split into two groups

Take Qingliu County and Ninghua County north of Yong'an

There are also Hua'an County and Datian County south of Yong'an

The troops once reached six divisions

Create established facts

The Nationalist government was also under the oppression of the six southern provinces.

Had to agree to rebuild the 19th Route Army

The boundary is the territory currently occupied by both parties

Redefine power

After the reconstruction of the 19th Route Army

The Red Army base in southern Fujian was also destroyed

The Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district also suffered heavy losses

In the end, only more than 500 people were left with the help of Hongmen.

Smoothly entered Wuping for repairs

This ended the 22-day-long Southwest Fujian melee.

Unlocking a new chapter

It's rebuilding everywhere now.

Li Yan had no choice but to ask the old squad leader to go to Wuping in person.

Discuss the later matters with the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district

The Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district agreed with Li Yan's proposal

In order not to further irritate the nerves of the national army

All the Red Army troops in southwestern Fujian

Temporarily use the 19th Route Army's organization

In order to quickly restore the power of the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district

Li Yan handed Wuping and Liancheng to the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district as a base for northward development

And sent Sushan's 4th Regiment to Liancheng to cooperate with the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district in the defense

Meishan can no longer meet the development needs of the Meishan Branch of the Red Army

With the unanimous approval of the Meishan Party Committee, it was reported to the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district.

Move the headquarters to Shanghang City

Time passed quickly and it was already the end of March 1936.

Li Yan, the former squad leader, Lu Zhiguo and three others

With the Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade and the Special Operations Battalion

Hundreds of carriages of supplies were transported to Wuping

This is Li Yan coming to this world

First meeting with Zhang, Tan, and Deng

Li Yan was very excited along the way

The old squad leader and the chief of staff were both baffled.

Two days later, Li Yan and his team finally arrived 2 miles outside Wuping County.

Chief of Staff Lu Zhiguo pointed to the gate of Wuping County and said, "Old squad leader, captain..."

"Look at all the people standing at the city gate."

"Are you going to pick us up?"

Dai Ping's eyes were sharp: "Instructor"

"Those people at the Wuping County gate are wearing our Red Army uniforms"

“It should be to pick us up.”

Li Yan was stunned

Said to the old squad leader: "Old squad leader, should we go first?"

The old squad leader nodded and said, "Yeah."

“We can’t keep our comrades waiting too long.”

Li Yan ordered: "Leopard Song Tao"

"You guys walk slowly behind."

"My old squad leader, the chief of staff and I will go first."

"When you arrive in Wuping, hand over the supplies to the comrades in the military sub-district."

As Li Yan and the other two quickly whipped their horse whips

Running towards the city gate of Wuping County

Just arrived near the city gate

The chief of staff said to Li Yan: "Commanders Zhang, Tan, and Deng are all here."

Li Yan hurriedly pulled the reins

Jump off the horse

Then the old squad leader and Lu Zhiguo also pulled the reins and dismounted.

Before the three of them moved forward

Zhang, Tan, and Deng have arrived in front of Li Yan and the other two.

Zhang Yi took the old squad leader's hands and said, "Old squad leader, thank you for your hard work."

Then he shook hands with Lu Zhiguo

When he got to Li Yan's side, he said, "You must be Comrade Li Yan, right?"

Li Yan immediately saluted Zhang, Tan, and Deng solemnly and said, "Hello, three leaders."

Tan walked over with a smile

Holding Li Yan's saluting hand

He teased: "You are a good boy."

"However, we have been in Wuping for so long."

"You didn't even mention that you came to see me and Minister Deng."

“That’s heartless.”

Deng also came over and patted Li Yan on the shoulder

He smiled and said, "Minister Tan is right."

"You must have forgotten how you pestered us for weapons and ammunition."

The old squad leader looked at Li Yan with an embarrassed look

Said: "I am talking about Lao Tan and Lao Deng"

"You two can't bully our captain in front of me"

"Otherwise I will never be done with you two."

Chairman Zhang said: "Old squad leader, you are still so protective of your children."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone burst into laughter

Chairman Zhang said: "A few days ago we made contact with the Central Red Army."

“I Called You Here This Time”

"It is to convey the instructions of the Central Red Army"

"
