Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

"Company Commander, we must take over Gutian Town and overthrow the "Yanwang Palace". We can't let people like this run rampant in the village anymore."

The stonemason slammed the table angrily and shouted

Song Tao said: "If I had known earlier, I would have sneaked into Gutian Town and killed this bastard."

Gao Xuan was so angry that he was about to speak when Li Yan scolded him: "What are you arguing about?"

"Didn't everyone hear what Captain Zhang said just now?"

"That Huatai is rich and powerful, with people and guns. Gutian Town has a complex terrain. How can we defeat it with only twenty or so of us?"

Li Yan's scolding calmed everyone down.

Gao Xuan wanted to speak just now, but was retorted by Li Yan. At this time, he muttered softly: "We can't just ignore it."

Li Yan slapped Gao Xuan on the back of the head with a loud "Pa!": "Why don't you learn your lesson? Fighting doesn't rely on brute force."

"Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't fight. We need to think of something."

Gao Xuan rubbed his head and said, "Captain, how come you're always so accurate? What if you knock me silly again?"

Li Yan fell into deep thought and stopped arguing with Gao Xuan.

Everyone picked up the cigarettes on the table and started smoking, and the command tent became quiet.

After a while, Zhang Dong's voice came from the command room.

"Well, Captain Li, I have an idea. I wonder if it will work?"

Li Yan quickly said, "Captain Zhang, don't be polite. One person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long. If you have any good ideas, please tell me."

Zhang Dong cleared his throat and said, "I've met Huatai a few times."

"You can wear the uniforms of the National Army and follow me into Gutian Town. Then tell me that you have received an order to return to Yong'an and are passing through Gutian Town to rest."

"After all, Commander Liu of the 83rd Division is a graduate of the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy, so Lu Bangguo should give us some face. I believe that even if Huatai is ignorant, they will still let us enter Gutian Town."

"Once we enter Gutian Town, we'll find the right opportunity to seize Huatai, and Gutian Town will naturally fall."

Li Yan's eyes lit up

What a good trick to capture the thief and the king, he is worthy of being a graduate of Yunnan Military Academy

However, Zhang Dong's words did not make everyone happy, but made them more hesitant.

Zhang Dong looked at the expressions of the few people and immediately understood. His face turned pale and he said, "This is your Red Army!"

"I gave you advice sincerely, but you didn't believe me."

"If you don't trust me, why did you call me over?"

"Humph, how can you take care of yourself?"

Zhang Dong was so angry that he stood up and was about to leave

The old squad leader quickly stood up and stopped Zhang Dong: "Captain Zhang, you misunderstood, you misunderstood"

Li Yan also stood up and said, "Captain Zhang, calm down. It's not that we don't trust you, but this matter concerns the life and death of all of us, so we didn't react for a while. I apologize to you on behalf of everyone here."

Zhang Dong's anger subsided when he saw that Li Yan, the company commander, had personally apologized to him.

If you put yourself in their shoes, you will also hesitate when encountering such a thing.

After Zhang Dong figured it out, he sat down and said, "There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life. One is the landlord bully, and the other is the Japanese invaders."

"The landlord bully forced my parents to death, and the Japanese invaders killed my only brother."

"I once swore that I would eliminate these two types of people."

"But whether I was in the 19th Route Army or the Central Army, what I saw most was collusion between officials and bandits, flattery, intrigue, and corruption."

"During this period, I have observed everything you, the Red Army, have said and done. To be honest, I see hope in you, the Red Army."

"Although you Red Army soldiers are poor, you are equal to your officers and soldiers, and you have strict discipline. You are sincerely working for the people."

"Since ancient times, water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

"Now I also believe what Captain Li said, because you Red Army soldiers have great justice in your hearts."

"What I can't do, you Red Army can do. This time I proposed this method, also want to help you, but also to give an explanation to the oath I once made."

As soon as Zhang Dong finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the command room.

Everyone saw sincerity in Zhang Dong's eyes

"Captain Zhang, I believe in you. I will carry out your plan tonight."
