Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

After a week

Taoist priest Su Shan brought the supplies from Meishan Mountain and found the headquarters of the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district at Maozi Mountain in Yongding.

Along the way, with Elva following him, and at the same time, the National Army was undergoing a major purge, people were in panic and the defense line was relaxed.

More than a hundred horse-drawn carriages of supplies arrived safely at the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district

At this time, Zhang, Tan and Deng were discussing why the Kuomintang's encirclement and suppression campaign had a whimper.

Su Shan led the Taoist priest to the headquarters of the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district to meet with the three chiefs Zhang, Tan, and Deng.

Before entering the house, Su Shan shouted: "Good news, good news"

Chairman Zhang smiled and said to Ministers Tan and Deng, "That kid Su Shan is back. He's like Monkey King, always so rough."

Minister Deng also laughed and said, "Su Shan is originally a military cadre. Fighting requires energy. Why do you insist on letting him do intelligence work?"

Minister Tan also jokingly said: "Sun Wukong is great, he can do anything."

The conversation between the three people happened to be heard by Su Shan and the Taoist priest.

The Taoist gave Su Shan a dirty look, as if to say, "So this is what you are like."

Su Shan blushed and complained: "I say, three great leaders, how can you speak ill of your comrades behind their backs?"

Chairman Zhang said, "I've said a few words to you. Do you still have any objections?"

Su Shan was suddenly discouraged. If it were someone else, Su Shan might get angry with him.

Chairman Zhang is not an option, he is my immediate superior.

I couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Chairman, there are still people here, can't you give me some face?"

Minister Tan laughed and said, "When did our Comrade Su Shan start to care about face?"

"Who is this comrade?"

The Taoist priest quickly stood at attention and saluted, saying, "The captain of the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade's Dragon Blood Brigade assault team reports to the three commanders."

Zhang, Tan, and Deng looked at each other.

Minister Deng said doubtfully: "Meishan Guerrilla Brigade"

Su Shan said: "Three leaders, you asked me to find the Red Army troops in the Battle of Meishan"

"That team was the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade."

Zhang, Tan, and Deng are incredible.

A little-known guerrilla unit was able to defeat an elite enemy regiment and two battalions.

My heart is full of doubts and suspicions

Tan Zhenlin asked, "Su Shan, are you sure? How could a guerrilla force be so powerful?"

Su Shan deliberately said mysteriously: "The Meishan guerrillas are indeed very powerful. We will talk about this later."

"First, my three leaders, guess who I saw in the Meishan guerrillas?"

Zhang, Tan, and Deng looked at each other, all confused.

After a while, Chairman Zhang kicked Su Shan hard and said, "Little monkey, you've learned to be mysterious. Come on, tell me."

"Otherwise I'll keep you doing intelligence work."

Su Shan didn't even bother to rub his butt, and hurriedly said: "Chief, please don't do that. Isn't that okay?"

Su Shan was very reluctant to go this time.

How can intelligence work be as exciting as fighting the enemy on the battlefield?

But that's because there's really no one left.

Chairman Zhang also promised to let Su Shan return to the army after he returned.

Su Shan finally agreed. Now that he heard that he had to do intelligence work all the time, he couldn't stand it.

"I met my old squad leader in Meishan"

Chairman Zhang asked, "You mean that old squad leader?"

Su Shan said: "Commander, there are a few old squad leaders, that is, our old superior, the old political commissar Zhang Ping"

Minister Tan confirmed again: "It's the old squad leader of the 1st Company of the 24th Division."

Su Shan said affirmatively: "Yes, the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade was reorganized from the 1st Company of the 24th Division."

"Comrade Li Yan is the captain of the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade"

At this time, Zhang, Tan, and Deng all stood up excitedly.

Minister Deng held Su Shan's hands and said, "I didn't expect the old squad leader and the 1st Company to be here."

"Tell me how they are now?"

Su Shan replied: "They are hiding in the source cave deep in Meishan Mountain."

"We have also established a base there, and it is developing quite well now."

"Please ask the Taoist comrade from the Meishan Guerrilla Unit to report the specific situation to the three commanders."

Minister Tan looked at the Taoist priest curiously and asked, "We don't seem to have seen this comrade before."

"The surname Dao is rare, how come you chose the name of a Taoist priest?"

The Taoist scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Report to the commander, I just joined the Red Army."

"I don't have a name, because I used to be a Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain, so everyone calls me a Taoist priest."

Minister Tan asked curiously, "Master, why don't you go up to the mountains to practice cultivation instead of joining the Red Army?"

The Taoist priest said in a low voice: "There has been war for many years, and Longhu Mountain is not at peace."

"The master said there was no food left on the mountain, so he asked some of us to go down the mountain and find our own way out."

"I fled to Fujian with a few fellow apprentices."

"I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Gutian Town, I was captured by the local bully Huatai and taken to his factory."

"If our instructor hadn't rescued us"

"I died in that black factory a long time ago. To repay the favor, I joined the Red Army."

Minister Tan patted the Taoist priest on the shoulder and said, "You are so grateful and repaying kindness. Well done!"

Then Minister Tan sighed: "In this world, even monks don't have a pure land."

Then the Taoist smiled and said nothing.

Minister Deng asked: "You just said instructor?"

The Taoist explained: "It is our team leader Li Yan"

Minister Deng nodded and said, "Comrade Taoist, come, sit down and have a drink of water."

"You are a guest, please don't stand around"

Let the Taoist comrade tell us about the situation of their Meishan guerrilla brigade."

“We are too curious”

"Company 1 was the rearguard unit at the time, and there were less than 50 of us when we separated."

"How did you destroy an enemy regiment and a battalion?"

Chairman Zhang also said: "Yes, yes, everyone sit down."

"You're welcome, Taoist comrade."

"We don't have any good stuff here, but we do have tea."

Everyone smiled and sat down

The Taoist priest took a sip of water and slowly reported the situation of the 1st Company in Meishan.

How did the 1st Company hide in an unknown cave to avoid the enemy, how did they capture two platoons of Zhangdong, and how did they capture Gutian Town, Shuangyang Town, and Wan'an Town?

How did they expand the Red Army training, build arsenals, and then launch the Meishan Campaign?

How did they finally eliminate 83? It was a brigade that surrounded Wei to save Zhao.

Report everything in detail

Su Shan then added how to find the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade, how Li Yan reached an agreement with Elhua, and how to transport supplies.

This process lasted for an hour.

Zhang, Tan, and Deng, the three leaders, have also experienced many things.

I didn't expect that the 1st Company had experienced so much in such a short time.

Sigh
