258 thousand miles of detour

At the beginning of the lanterns, Li Xiang, who had been busy all day, dragged his tired body back to Luojiashan Villa.

In the hall, Narcissus, Tang Yuewan and the female staff in the villa are playing against the landlord. Since the end of the Central Plains War, the atmosphere in Luojiashan Villa has also become relaxed. But Li Xiangxin is not relaxed at all. Now he is worried about the second "encirclement and suppressation" in Jiangxi.

"I'm back." The Narcissus raised her eyes and flattered him.

"Well, I'm back." Li thought he couldn't stand it.

"Have you eaten yet?" Tang Yuewan asked with a drunken face without raising his head. She was absorbed in the cards in her hand and had won a bunch of chips in front of her.

"I've eaten."

Li wanted to walk upstairs in a hurry.

In the study, Meddie is sorting out piles of documents under the lamp.

"Why don't you play with them?" Li wanted to ask with a smile.

"There is no money." Medy said without raising his head.

"I remember that you just got your salary, and it's not enough for you to lose?" Li wanted to go to the chair behind the desk and sit down.

Medy glanced at him and said, "I'm going to play. Who should I give it here? They have been busy all day, and now they are not asked to finish playing. So let them all go, I'm here."

"What a 'real' housekeeper sister." Li wanted to laugh and said, "I'm sitting here. Don't worry."

Meadowy put a stack of classified files on the desktop, put them in front of Li Xiang, and said, "You're here, and I can't go." If there is something, I can also do something here.

"I have a big article to do. I don't know how long it will last." Li wanted to take out the paper and pen and said, "Don't stay with me."

"Okay, I'll divide this into categories, and I'll go to rest." After Madison finished speaking, she silently buried her head in tidying up.

Li wanted to look at the dedicated housekeeper, shook her head, and also buried her head to start writing. Quickly write down the words "How to create the National Revolutionary Army of Iron" on the paper...

This anti-"encirclement, the new 4th Army of the Jiangxi National Revolutionary Army, with only more than 30,000 people, has to break the large-scale "encirclement" of 300,000 enemy troops, which is more than ten times their own without the necessary rest. What a difficult task!

Li Xiang is very clear that in order to successfully complete this difficult task, in addition to determining the correct combat policy, it is also necessary to strengthen Wuchang's absolute leadership of the New 4th Army, improve the quality of the army, and emphasize centralized command and unified training to enhance the combat capability of the New 4th Army.

The combat policy is worried by the professionals of the General Staff. Li wants to prepare to write a big article on How to Create an Iron National Revolutionary Army to achieve the chaotic idea of unifying the New Fourth Army because of the arrival of Li Liejun and others.

Li Xiang wrote in the article that in the current grim situation, "creating the National Revolutionary Army is one of the most urgent and important tasks of the Party at present."

How to create an iron National Revolutionary Army? Li wanted to summarize six basic conditions:

First, "determine the class nature of the National Revolutionary Army." The article wrote: "The National Revolutionary Army is the army of workers and peasants, and can also be said to be the army of all the hard-working people."

Second, "Unconditionally under the leadership of the three people." The article combines the actual situation of the Chinese revolution and the growth process of the National Revolutionary Army to discuss: "The National Revolutionary Army in Hubei District is the vanguard of the Chinese revolution, and the New Fourth Army can only complete its great historical task under the correct leadership of the three people." And pointed out: "The vanguard of the Chinese revolution has carried out its leading role through the political commissars and political organs in the National Revolutionary Army."

Third, "The importance of political training." The article said: "The political training of the National Revolutionary Army is to inspire and improve the awareness of the three people of commanders and combatants. Let them recognize the interests of their own class, strive for the political tasks of their own class, and fight to the death with the enemy, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating the enemy and liberating the class.

Of course, the explanation of Sanmin Zhuyi should be based on Wuchang's revisionist.

Fourth, "improvement of military technology." Li Xiang has always attached great importance to continuously improving the military technology of the National Revolutionary Army. He said in the article: "China's new weapons come from various countries, and the types are becoming increasingly complicated. Therefore, the National Revolutionary Army must surpass the enemy in tactics, and must work hard to learn how to use new weapons in terms of technology, so that when we get new weapons from the enemy, we know how to use them as soon as we get them.

Fifth, "Consciously abide by the iron discipline." The article said: "The cultivation and improvement of the spirit of conscious compliance with discipline is to make the loyal and bravery of all commanders and combatants obey discipline, and converge into the loyalty and courage of the whole army and obedience to discipline. With such a conscious and disciplined National Revolutionary Army, it is the Iron National Revolutionary Army.

Sixth, "There should be centralized command and unified training." Li wanted to point out: "It is necessary to make the actions of the National Revolutionary Army, under any circumstances, have the greatest degree of concentration to eliminate the armament of its class enemies."

Just as the Kuomintang army launched an unprecedented attack on the revolutionary base areas of Jiangxi, Li Xiang published this paper, which played an important guiding role in improving the combat ability of the New Fourth Army and even the whole Jiangxi against "encirclement" and achieving the second victory against "encirclement and suppressing".

The Kuomintang army acted quickly. In early July, Duan Zhigui commanded the left-wing army group to approach Jianning, Fujian, where the headquarters of the New 4th Army was stationed. However, they did not know the main force of the New Fourth Army.

Duan Zhigui mistakenly judged that the main force of the New 4th Army had been transferred from the border of Fujian and Jiangxi to Guangchang, Shicheng and Ningdu, and ordered the army to continue to advance south and occupy Guangchang and Ningdu successively. As a result, the main force of the New 4th Army was not found and rushed to the air.

Then, Duan Zhigui mistakenly judged that the main force of the new 4th Army might be in the northwest of Ningdu, ordered the army to run to this area and rushed to the air again.

Li Chun commanded the right-wing army to advance to Futian, Donggu and Ningdu as planned.

At this time, the weather was hot. After they entered the revolutionary base, they were unfamiliar with the terrain and were disturbed everywhere, and they could not find the main force of the new 4th Army to fight. They rushed east and west and fell into a dilemma.

Lin Dong described the secret telegram to Li Xiang: "They are chasing and climbing mountains every day. They haven't caught the fire yet. They don't know that they are tired to death."

"At this time, if the main force of the New 4th Army is directly inserted from the predetermined combat areas of Ningdu and Xingguo from the stations in western Fujian and northwest Fujian, it will meet with the main force of the enemy, which will be unfavorable to the New 4th Army." Li Xiping stared at the map.

Li Xiang is a little confused. The marks on the map are very complicated, far beyond what his amateur military level can understand.

"All changes are inseparable from its clan! Still use the general's sixteen-character formula to deal with them, avoid the enemy's main force, and fight against their weakness!" Zeng Gao pointed out on the map: "The situation is slightly flexible with the first anti-encirclement and suppressation, adopt grinding tactics, carry out a thousand-mile detours to the south, bypass the edge of the enemy's attack, and enter the enemy's back from the southern part of the southern base of Jiangxi."

Li Xiping said in a popular way: "Our way is to avoid the enemy first, fatigue him, and then start fighting when he is tired."

......

After receiving Wuchang's order, Lin Dong immediately led the main force and headquarters of the New 4th Army, starting from the stations in western and northwest Fujian, and marched southward along the Wuyi Mountains on the border between Fujian and Jiangxi from the left side of the enemy.

The big playground of a primary school held an oath meeting to the south.

All kinds of troops and horses gathered one after another, with red flags, flashing darts, high-spirited battle songs, and loud slogans one after another. The majestic atmosphere of a faction's battle enveloped the playground. Suddenly, warm applause was overwhelming, as surging like a river tide - Commander-in-Chief Lin Dong and other leading comrades boarded the stage!

In the image of ordinary people, Lin Dong did this to the commander-in-chief. If there is not forty, there should be fifty. But Commander-in-Chief Lin Dong, standing in front of him, is not like that at all: he is very young and heroic. Although he is not tall, he has neat straps on his legs, and he wears a pair of thick thatched straw shoes, not even a pair of socks. However, the expression on his face was relaxed and majestic. Under his broad forehead, there was a pair of deep and clear eyes, steadily looking around the team gathered on the lawn. When he stood up, he was used to separating his legs and crossing his arms behind his back - a man in his twenties, probably because he had experienced many earth-shaking struggles, so his young body looked as strong as steel.

In the middle of summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the climate is sultry. Coupled with the lack of food, it is extremely difficult to eat, and we can only satisfy the hunger with porridge every day. However, the New Fourth Army still marched vigorically to the south of the southern Jiangxi base.

Lin Dong led the team from the peak of Guangchang to Shicheng and Ruijin. When he passed through Beikeng, he saw the local guerrillas warmly coming to welcome him.

Lin Dong jumped off his horse, walked to everyone, and told them in a concerned tone: "The enemy's troops have set out from Nanfeng and followed us. Their front troops have reached the peak of Lihua Mountain. According to the decision of Marshal Li, our troops will get rid of the enemies here and turn back to destroy them.

Speaking of this, Lin Dong told the guerrillas with concern: "You should be vigilant and keep fighting!"

After saying that, he stepped on the mount vigorously, waved to everyone, and led the troops to move on.

Lin Dong led the new 4th army team. In the rapid march for more than ten consecutive days, he took a detour of thousands of miles through Anyuan, Ninghua, Changting Ruijin and other places to the Yinkeng area north of Lingdu, hiding in the deep mountains and canyons.

After Lin Dong's headquarters rested for a few days in the Yinkeng area and observed the enemy's movements, he then led his troops to the northwest and came to Xingxingwei in the north of Xingguo. While resting here, the troops prepared to turn to the counterattack and carried out pre-war political mobilization.

Soon, Duan Zhigui found that the main force of the new 4th Army was concentrated in Xingguo, but he mistakenly judged that the main force of the new 4th Army had the intention to cross the Ganjiang River in the west, so he concentrated the troops of nine divisions and rushed to Xingguo in several ways, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Red Army on the east bank of the Ganjiang River
