Chapter 28 Decision-making

"Sir, the Central Committee has called back and sent a congratulatory message." The political commissar smiled and handed a telegram to Liu Hua, who was in a daze.

"I am very happy to hear that your unit has achieved a great victory in wiping out an entire enemy division. I hope your unit will continue to work hard and achieve greater success for the victory of the Chinese revolution. In addition: Comrade Liu Hua will be the main decision-maker in future operations and other decisions of the independent division, and the political commissar will not

Has the final decision-making power. Central Revolutionary Military Commission: Zhu, Mao, Zhou."

"Division Commander, are you shocked? You must know that this telegram means that the Central Committee has completely handed over the independent division to you. This has never happened before in our Red Army." The political commissar said a little jealously.

"Political Commissar, what are you talking about? You are the political commissar of our independent division. Don't talk nonsense. The Military Commission's trust in us has given us such great rights. We must not let down the trust of the Central Committee. Our burden will be even greater in the future.

It's heavy."

"Political Commissar, there's no war going on now anyway, we haven't talked about it yet, let's have a good chat tonight, don't leave yet."

"It's time to have a good chat with you. After all, I'm still your partner."

"Political Commissar, you said that this time we wiped out an enemy division, and the enemy should not come to encircle and suppress us again in the near future. Can you tell us what we should do in the near future?"

"I have also thought about this issue. It has been difficult to choose whether to return to the base area or re-establish the base area. What do you think?" The political commissar looked at Liu Hua, who was smoking.

"Political Commissar, do you think it is possible for us to return to the base area and rebuild it?"

"I think we should be very sure. After all, we have a deep revolutionary foundation there, the masses support us, and there are many guerrillas. We should be able to gain a firm foothold there, right?"

Liu Hua shook his head and said nothing. He handed the political commissar an investigation report written by the reconnaissance team. The political commissar glanced at it and his eyes almost popped out. "These bastards and sons of bitches are really not a thing. I don't think so."

You are at odds with each other..." A quiet political commissar said dirty words.

It turns out that Liu Hua told the political commissar that the reconnaissance company had learned about the destruction of the base area through the guerrillas in the past few days. It can be said that it is terrible to see that families with some revolutionary foundation are basically killed by the Nationalist Party...

Seeing that the political commissar's mood had relaxed a little, Liu Hua asked: "Political commissar, do you still think you can return to the base area and rebuild it?"

"It seems that it will be impossible to fight back to the Soviet area." The political commissar shook his head.

"Then we will rebuild the base area and create a new world." The political commissar raised his head and said.

It seems that the political commissar only wants to establish a base area. Liu Hua thought to himself.

"Political Commissar, do you think we have enough time to establish a base? You must know that if Chiang Kai-shek knew that we were wiping out one of his divisions again, he would definitely deploy a large number of troops from the front or the rear to carry out encirclement and suppression. You must know that he would never

Once again, we tolerate the presence of the Red Army in our rear. Besides, it takes time for us to establish a base area, and the task given to us by the Central Committee is to attract enemy troops and cover the transfer of the main force. In this way, we will not be able to complete the Central Committee's task."

Neither of them spoke, they just sat quietly.

"Teacher, your mind is quick, just tell me." The political commissar really couldn't think of it.

Liu Hua pointed to Changsha on the map. "Changsha, division commander, you want to attack Changsha."

"Political Commissar, you are wrong. It is not a fight, but a feint attack. Now that the Hunan Army has been pushed to the front line, Changsha will definitely be empty. If our troops are directed towards Changsha, what do you think He Jianhui will do?"

"He will definitely ignore Chiang Kai-shek's opposition and mobilize troops from the front to protect Changsha. Changsha is the home base of the Hunan Army and he cannot afford to lose it." The political commissar suddenly realized.

"Sir, what's next?" The political commissar knew that his division commander was very young, but he must have considered the issue very carefully, and there must be more to it.

"Reunion with the 26th Red Army." Liu Hua finally revealed the destination he had been thinking about for several days, "and then follow up with the main force with the 26th Army."

The political commissar was dumbfounded. What a feat this would take. If he had asked for it, he would never have thought that the 26th Army Corps that was operating in western Hunan, and that his division commander was indeed extraordinary.

"Division Commander, the Military Commission has said that we will listen to you in terms of combat. I agree with your plan. Should we report the plan to the central government?" the political commissar said in a positive tone.

"Political Commissar, don't be busy now. I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"You just say it, don't talk about it," the political commissar said with a smile.

"Okay! Political Commissar, we have captured so many weapons and so many prisoners this time. I think we should reorganize the troops. You see: now we have a total of 58 mortars. I think we should set up a division.

Directly under the mortar battalion, the remaining ones are evenly distributed to each regiment, allowing them to establish mortar companies, so that when each regiment fights alone in the future, there will be no shortage of heavy fire support. Heavy machine guns are required to be assigned to battalions, and each battalion

There must be a heavy machine gun platoon, and the regiment must have a heavy machine gun company. Also, snipers have played a big role in these battles. Each regiment is required to have a sniper platoon, a baggage company and other directly subordinate units. These three are required

The regiment must reach full strength.”

"Wait a minute, division commander, how many people will there be when the full establishment is reached?" the political commissar asked in surprise.

"There are not many political commissars. In my opinion, each regiment must have 3,000 people at full strength,"

"Oh my god, 3,000 people, this is almost as big as a division of the Red Army and a brigade of the Central Army..."

"Haha, political commissar, you are right. What I want to achieve is that in the future, one of my regiments can fight against a brigade of the Central Army without suffering a loss. Our entire division can annihilate them all when facing one of the enemy's divisions. Also, our new barracks

It should also be upgraded to a new regiment, equipped only with light weapons and not heavy weapons. Each regiment must have a new barracks, so that if the main force suffers casualties in the future, it can be directly replenished from the new barracks without affecting the combat effectiveness of the main force."

After saying that, Liu Hua looked at the political commissar who looked dazed with a smile.

"Sir, I really belong to you. I agree. It's really exciting to follow you." The political commissar said with a smile.

"But, division commander, if we do as you say, we will have too many new soldiers and too few veterans in the army. This problem will be difficult to solve!"

Liu Hua said nothing and pointed in the direction of Jinggang Mountain. "Haha, leader, you can think of this, I really admire you."

"Haha, political commissar, it's not about me, but there are so many outstanding soldiers. It would be too unfair for them to stop fighting guerrillas in the mountains. You know, they are all sick and wounded from the main force, and they have rich

combat experience."

"But, division commander, they are in the guerrillas now. How can we..." The political commissar looked at the division commander with confusion.

"Haha, it's very simple. We have seized so many weapons and ammunition this time. If we give them some light weapons and ammunition, those guerrillas will definitely let them go with a smile. By the way, do you know how many people there are in total? Haha, there are a total of lightly wounded people.

There are more than 1,200 people, and there are more than 500 seriously injured people, which is more than half of the regiment, hehe..."

"Sir, why do I feel like you look so much like a profiteer now?" the political commissar said with a smile.

"Report to the chief, telegram."

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, the Independent Division has sent a telegram." Vice Chairman Zhou received the telegram and shouted to the comrades who had restored military power after the Zunyi Conference.

"Well, here we come, what surprise does Liu Hua bring us?" Since the commander-in-chief received Liu Hua's success reports one after another, he has regarded Liu Hua as his favorite general. He heard that it was an independent division.

, asked happily immediately.

"Liu Hua, this guy, is very courageous. The troops are pointing directly at He Jian's lair. I think it's okay. Commander-in-Chief, what do you think?" Mr. Zhu looked at the map and pondered for a while.

"OK fine."

"What else? Come and see, Liu Hua, this guy, has an independent division of more than 10,000 people, and he is almost catching up with our army. He is really good at development, no wonder he dares to attack Changsha." The chairman saw

The independent division compilation attached by Liu Hua behind the telegram lamented.

"Haha, God is really helping the Red Army. We have more than 10,000 troops!" Vice Chairman Zhou has been worried about the future of the Red Army every day since the number of the Red Army was reduced to 30,000 after the Battle of Xiangjiang. Now he has gained 10,000 more out of thin air.

How can we not be happy when there are many people and horses?

"Haha, since everyone agrees, let's send the report!" the commander-in-chief suggested when he saw that the opinions had been unified.

"Haha, division commander, it's so fast. The Military Commission has agreed to your plan. It seems that you think the same as the Military Commission."

"This is called heroes seeing things the same way, do you understand?" Liu Hua objected.

"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. It's so late and I should take a rest. I still have a meeting tomorrow? Just continue to be your hero! I'm leaving."

Looking at the back of the political commissar, Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally go to northern Shaanxi.
