Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Li Yan was in a very complicated mood at this time

There is admiration, regret, and relief

I admire Lai Lingxiu's greatness.

I regret my own preconceived notions.

Fortunately, the generals of the Red 24th Division are growing rapidly.

Zhang Dong is now the commander of the 4th Independent Division

Now Song Tao appears again

Going through so many things

I have been able to endure until now and have not collapsed yet.

Already have the qualifications of a general

There are also Su Shan, Zhao Wu, Gao Xuan, Bao Zi and others

Slowly, you can also stand on your own

Thought of here

Li Yan burst into laughter

Said: "Leopard, prepare the horses immediately"

"We set off for Nanchang overnight"

"Leave this to Song Tao, Gao Xuan and the others."

"I can rest assured now"

......

On December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident occurred

The young marshal declared an end to the civil war and united to resist Japan

On December 16, 1936, after the Nationalist government failed to persuade the young marshal to surrender,

Letters and telegrams from all walks of life in China demanded a crusade

The Air Force then launched bombing raids on cities near Xi'an and gradually turned towards Xi'an.

On December 23, 1936, the two sides held formal negotiations under the attention of all walks of life.

On December 26, 1936, the two sides signed six agreements to stop the civil war and jointly resist Japan.

Peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident

The Xi'an Incident and its peaceful resolution occupy an important historical position in the development of Chinese society

It contributed to the establishment of the Anti-Japanese National United Front and greatly inspired the Chinese people's enthusiasm for resisting Japan.

It laid the foundation for the entire nation's war of resistance and became a turning point from the civil war to the national war against Japan.

Becoming a hub for changing times

At the same time, the ten-year civil war was basically over.

This gave the Red Army and local troops a chance to breathe.

Li Yan dared to go to Nanchang at this time

That's because he knows

At this time, the attention of all walks of life in China is focused on the ancient city of Xi'an.

Don't want to at this time

unexpected events

Li Yan and his team's trip to Nanchang seems dangerous

But the chances of success are great

really

Li Yan led his men along the border between Hunan and Jiangxi

Pass Yongxin to Pingxiang

Then head northeast through Yichun, Shanggao, and Gao'an

Until Nanchang

It only took three days in total

The road is almost unobstructed.

Even entering Nanchang City

It only cost a few dollars

The soldiers guarding the gate smiled and escorted Li Yan and his companions into the city.

Waiting to the inn

Leopard asked in confusion: "Instructor?"

"What's wrong with these white dogs?"

“Several oceans”

"We entered Nanchang City so easily"

Li Yan looked at the crowd who were equally curious

He smiled and explained: "It's not that the white dog is easy to talk to."

“But the sky has changed.”

"You all know about the Xi'an Incident."

"Now all parties have ulterior motives"

“Everyone is watching this matter.”

“Where is the time to manage the things below?”

"The soldiers below have become lax."

"Plus, the national army has been purchasing German weapons during this period."

“The economy is about to collapse”

"Many places haven't received military salaries for several months."

“Especially Jiangxi”

“They are all local security groups.”

“The Nationalist government can no longer take care of it.”

"If those big-headed soldiers don't grab some now"

“I don’t think it will take long.”

“It’s time to get hungry.”

The leopard nodded in understanding.

Said: "Instructor"

"In that case"

"Then why don't we let Captain Gao and Captain Song use this method?"

"Go straight south"

"Let's go back to our own territory?"

Li Yan said: "Do you know why we don't go directly north from Ji'an to Nanchang?"

"Instead, we have to travel an extra hundred kilometers through Pingxiang?"

Li Yan came and everyone shook their heads

Then he said: "The situation is different"

"Although the soldiers of the National Army in various places have relaxed their guard"

"But the Nationalist troops in Ji'an, Ganzhou, Xingguo, and Yudu cannot relax."

"The Nationalist army has now lost the three southern regions: Xunwu, Huichang, Ruijin, Ningdu, and Shicheng."

"If Ji'an, Ganzhou, Xingguo and Yudu are all lost"

"Then the Nationalist army will lose half of Jiangxi."

"No matter what the final outcome of the Xi'an Incident was"

"All Jiangxi officials, big and small, will be dismissed and even face military courts."

"In addition, we have more than 200 troops on Jinggang Mountain."

“Most of them are wounded.”

"The national army is not stupid either"

"Can't they see the gunshot wound?"

Tong Liang's eyes lit up and he said, "Instructor"

"In that case"

"Then can we bribe the prison staff?"

"Secretly rescue the Taoist deputy captain and the others."

“This is fast and safe.”

Li Yan shook his head and said: "This possibility is not high."

"The Nationalist Army would rather let the 46th Division give up the encirclement and suppression of the Youshan Soviet Area ZY Branch"

"They also want to encircle and suppress us"

"This shows the determination of the national army to destroy us."

“They finally caught our people.”

“And they have to take credit for it.”

"How can we possibly rescue the Taoist priests through bribery?"

"Those security groups and the national army are greedy"

"But they also know which is more important, brains or the ocean."

"I guess we just paid a lot of money."

“They’ll arrest us.”

"Besides, we don't even know where the Taoist priests are being held."

“It’s too early to say that.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about this.”

“We only have three days now.”

“It must be before the 26th.”

"Rescue the Taoist priests."

“There are eight of us now.”

Divide into four groups

"Leopard, Zheng Hu, you two will go to the south of the city."

"Zhao Long, Tao Ying, you two will go to the north of the city."

"Laomao, He Peng, you two should go to the west of the city."

"Tong Liang and I are going to the east of the city."

"Before dark today"

"Find out where the Taoists are being held captive."

Nanchang Headquarters

Chairman Xiong of Jiangxi Province said: "Director Xue"

"What's the situation in Xi'an now?"

Director Xue paused for a moment and said, "The bombing has stopped."

“Now all parties have entered the negotiation stage”

Chairman Xiong raised his eyebrows and said, "You are a person who cares a lot about face."

"I heard that someone would rather die than surrender."

Director Xue looked at Chairman Xiong meaningfully.

Said: "Brother, you are well-informed."

“Things that are thousands of miles away”

“Everything is clear and obvious.”

Chairman Xiong laughed and said, "It won't work if you don't know the answer."

"We have lost most of the southern Jiangxi region"

"The Red Bandit leader Li Yan has not been captured yet."

"I really want to send troops to recover the lost territory while the Red Bandits are still struggling to gain a firm foothold."

“But now the higher-ups just don’t agree.”

"Once the Red Bandits Grow Up"

“We think it’s impossible to recover the lost land.”

“How will I, as the chairman of Jiangxi, explain this to whom?”

“I’m also anxious.”

Director Xue shook his head and said, "Brother, you don't have to be so anxious."

"Although we didn't catch the bandit leader Li Yan"

“But it also hit them hard.”

“So many people were arrested”

“I can now report this to my superiors.”

Speaking of this

Director Xue's mysterious

He whispered: "Brother, put your heart in your stomach"

"I guess"

"It won't be long before someone comes back."

“The Party-state is in a turbulent period”

“We just have to follow orders now.”

"Stabilize the overall situation"

“It will be a great achievement then.”
