Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Lu Zhiguo shook his head and said, "Commander, it's easier said than done."

"The First Independent Division of Southwestern Fujian and our 70th and 71st Regiments"

"Attack Changting for several hours"

"One-third lost"

“Even if they retreat to Liancheng”

“How many days can we hold on?”

"There is also the Southwest Fujian Military Region Headquarters and the Independent 3rd Division."

"Even if we withdraw from Wuping and go to Shifang Town, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack..."

"We are facing a siege from three armies: Yunmenling, Pingyuan County, and Jiaoling County."

“How long can it last?”

“And Shanghang”

"Shanghang now has a full force of two regiments."

“How can we defend Shanghang?”

"We still don't know whether other units of the national army will join in."

"Why don't we take advantage of this now while the losses are minimal"

“Just concentrate all your strength.”

"Take Changting and enter Jiangxi"

Lu Zhiguo had just finished speaking

Tong Liang came to the east wing

Said: "Instructor"

"Director Fang is here!"

Li Yan said: "Please come in."

Walking towards the door

Before Li Yan took two steps

Director Fang walked up to Li Yan

First, he shook my hand with Li Yan

Nothing said

He walked straight up to the old squad leader and saluted

Looking at the old squad leader covered in bandages

He said apologetically: "I'm sorry, old political commissar"

“I didn’t know they were so brave.”

“I dare to torture you.”

"I didn't protect you well"

The old squad leader shook his head gently and said: "Xiao Fang"

“It’s not your fault”

"If it weren't for you"

"The 24th Red Division may be finished"

Director Fang nodded

Turn around

He said in a negotiating tone: "Commander Li"

"Captain Liu has already told me what's going on here."

"I hope you won't retaliate against the patrol team."

“This is for your own good.”

"Leave them to me"

"I will report their mistakes to my superiors truthfully."

"If they make mistakes, they will be punished according to party discipline."

Li Yan was about to say something

Taoist Zhao Long also came in

The Taoist said: "Instructor"

"The inspection team has confessed."

After saying that, he glanced at Director Fang again.

Li Yan understood what the Taoist meant

Said: "Speak"

"Director Fang is not an outsider"

The Taoist priest then said: "According to Xia Ming and Wang Feng's explanation..."

"ZY never issued an order for a feint attack on Changting"

"Xia Ming said that because ZY learned that the Southwest Fujian Military Region was rising again."

“DZY is very happy”

"But when discussing how to relocate the Red Army in Southwest Fujian"

"There was an argument"

"Some people say the Red Army in Southwest Fujian has just risen"

"Plus, we now need to unite all forces to resist Japan."

"We need to take this time to recuperate and avoid drastic action."

“But some people object.”

"It is said that the ZY branch of the Gannan Soviet Area is being surrounded and suppressed by the Nationalist Army."

'It's a very bad situation'

"In addition, the Southwest Fujian Red Army now has a powerful force of four divisions."

"So many nationalist troops in southwestern Fujian were wiped out again"

"Now is the golden opportunity to take advantage of the weakness of the national army."

"Changting should be taken quickly"

"Fight to Jiangxi"

"Save the ZY Branch of the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area"

"Unite all remaining personnel in the Soviet area"

"Restore the original power of the Soviet area"

"The two sides have different opinions and are at a stalemate."

"In the end, it was the great man and the commander-in-chief who made the decision."

"We just sent an inspection team to Fujian"

“Then we’ll see if we have a chance.”

"Break through the Nationalist Army's defense line"

"Provide some guns, ammunition and supplies to the ZY Branch of the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area"

"If possible"

"Rescue the people from the Gannan Soviet Area ZY Branch and bring them to Fujian."

Li Yan nodded and said, "I knew it."

"Now the call for a nationwide joint anti-Japanese war is so loud"

"With the political vision of a great man and commander-in-chief"

“I will never do something that would ruin the overall situation.”

Director Fang was confused

He hurriedly asked, "Wang Feng also brought the order to feint an attack on the ZY branch of the Gannan Soviet Area."

"How could this be?"

The Taoist said: "These are all fake."

"It was a conspiracy of the inspection team"

"This is because those who suggested invading Jiangxi were dissatisfied."

“So they contacted the Communist International.”

“And with the consent of the Communist International”

“Just bypass the central government”

"New orders were issued to the inspection team."

"So the Gannan Soviet Area ZY Branch and the Southwest Fujian Military Region were both deceived by the inspection team."

Director Fang is incredible

He said loudly: "They are deceiving their superiors and subordinates."

"Aren't they afraid of the truth being exposed?"

Li Yan said at this time: "The inspection team came to Fujian"

"It was indeed an order from ZY"

"The Southwest Fujian Military Region also knows about this."

“They are not afraid to seek verification”

"The other is the Gannan Soviet Area ZY Branch and the Southwest Fujian Military Region."

"So far from the Shaanxi-Gansu Red Army"

“It’s inconvenient to contact you and it takes a long time.”

"As long as they can do it before ZY finds out"

“Finishing their work”

"That's a done deal."

Speaking of which

The Taoist said: "The instructor is right."

“They don’t want to expose it.”

“A thorough deployment was indeed made.”

"First, they were worried about the next order to invade Jiangxi."

"The Southwest Fujian Military Region will not agree"

"I will contact ZY"

“That’s what’s exposed.”

“That’s why the order to feint and attack Changting was issued.”

"But in order to achieve their goal of entering Jiangxi"

"We must turn the feint attack on Changting into the capture of Changting"

"So they thought of controlling the most powerful Red 24th Division."

"Come and help them take Changting"

“Once Changting is taken”

“The arrow is on the string and has to be shot.”

"Even if ZY knew, it would be too late."

After everyone heard the Taoist's words

In combination with Li Yan's refusal

My heart is cold and I am silent

Especially Lu Zhiguo

Li Yan just said that ZY has a big problem

He still has some doubts

There's no more luck now.

Director Fang at this time was just like Lu Zhiguo at that time.

Haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet

Said: "Different opinions"

"Can we discuss this?"

“Why do these people do this?”

The old squad leader sighed

Said: "It's not those people yet"

“Seeing Fujian’s resurgence”

"As long as the Soviet area can be restored"

"It can prove that they were fighting against the encirclement and suppression in the Soviet area."

“The military approach is correct”

"So they can get support from GCGJ"

"Regaining the Red Army's right to speak"

“But they don’t know.”

"This has pushed the newly rising Southwest Fujian Military Region into the abyss."

Then the old squad leader compared Li Yan's speculation with the current situation faced by the Southwest Fujian Military Region.

I told Director Fang again.

Southwest Fujian Military Region to the present

How difficult it is

Director Fang knows it all clearly

He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart

He pulled out the pistol from his waist and shouted: "They are going to destroy our Red Army!"

"I'm going to shoot them"

Li Yan quickly grabbed Director Fang and said, "It's no use shooting them now."

"Let's think about how to get through this difficult time."

Hear this

Director Fang stopped

Looking at Li Yan, he said, "Commander Li"

"You give the order."

"As long as we can save the Southwest Fujian Military Region"

"We will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Li Yan said: "Okay"

"Since Director Fang said so..."

"I really have a favor to ask of you and Comrade Lu Zhiguo."

"I hope you can hold Shanghang for 5 days"
