I really came here to fight against Japan

When the Ma family army saw that the main force of the Red Army continued to move north, they no longer paid attention to it.

Since that is the territory of the Shaanxi people, let the Northwest Allied Forces in Xi'an worry about it!

Suo Wuxing and Political Commissar Ding led the team to Tianmailing. Once the column's red flag was raised, this Red Army guerrilla zone...

They should be called the "Gansu Northwest Soviet Area", and thus it was established.

Even so, the people of the Ma family army did not take their affairs seriously.

The reason why it is called the Great Northwest is because the Northwest is so huge.

Lanzhou is more than 1,300 miles away from northern Shaanxi and more than 1,000 miles away from Tianmailing.

I heard that Tianmailing was occupied by a group of Red Army soldiers, and they also sent people to investigate.

It turned out that the leader Huo Haichuan, who originally occupied Tianmailing, had defected to Suo Wuxing's Red Army.

All of a sudden, even the eldest son of the Lao Suo family in southwestern Gansu became the commander of the Red Army.

Looking at his clothes again, we can see that his hat has been changed to the octagonal hat of the Red Army.

The rest of his clothes remained the same as before, so he went back to report with peace of mind.

I guess this Young Master Suo Wuxing is tired of staying at home.

Knowing that the Red Army passed through here and went to Shaanxi, they came out pretending to be Red Army soldiers in order to rob the rich.

Think about it, his family is extremely wealthy, and you want him to fight the local tyrants and divide their land?

Isn't this the same as asking him to demolish his own house? Who would believe it if I told him that?

Besides, the Ma Jun family is doing business together with the Suo family!

If you report this, you will only cause trouble for your own commander!

Therefore, no one ever mentioned the fact that a group of Red Army soldiers had occupied territory on Tianmailing Mountain, thousands of miles away from Lanzhou.

The main force of the Jiangxi Red Army finally arrived at the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area.

The Nanjing government also breathed a sigh of relief after learning about this.

Finally, the Red Army, a serious threat, was driven from the hinterland of the south to the barren land of the Northwest.

All the central troops stationed in the territories of local warlords stayed where they were and had no plans to leave.

The guerrilla zones of the Red Army in various places were left to local forces to deal with.

The central army is watching behind them, so they are not worried that the local troops will not work hard.

After the local warlords had one division directly annihilated by the Red Army, they also became obedient.

Therefore, the main force of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi finally had a short period of time to recover.

With the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival of 1936, the Red Army began a prosperous new year.

Just after the Spring Festival, Commander Song Wenwan started to get busy.

He was recommended to join the Southern Government's local military officers training class in Jiujiang.

There was no other way, so the southern government reached out to the warlords of all sizes in various provinces.

Let them select some local security commanders and militia commanders to study at the Jiujiang Officer Training Class.

To put it bluntly, it is to brainwash them and make them get closer to the Central Army as much as possible.

Before the New Year, Song Wenwan traveled thousands of miles to Xining and held a military meeting between Gansu and Qinghai.

I thought there was some military secret that I could learn about, but who would have thought it was about going to Jiujiang to study.

The boss was very easy to talk to and decided to draw lots to select a representative to go to Jiujiang.

The final result was, as expected, something unexpected happened.

None of the direct generals of the two provincial leaders won the lottery, so Song Wenwan was the one who was drawn.

Song Wenwan was so angry that you two provinces only sent one person to Jiujiang, and he was a Han Chinese officer.

As the Southern government, can't you see that you are just giving them a perfunctory treatment?

With Song Wenwan's current strength, there is no way for her to turn against them.

After the Spring Festival, Song Wenwan took a battalion of guards and reluctantly went to Jiujiang.

When they arrived in Jiujiang, Song Wenwan immediately became everyone's mascot.

He is so pitiful. If this happened in ancient times, this would be equivalent to a hostage sent back to the capital by a local general.

He cannot be considered a real son. At most, he is a godson, and he is treated as perfunctorily as possible.

What was unexpected was that Jiujiang not only did not make things difficult for him, but also seemed very interested in him.

Of course he knew what was going on. It was nothing more than that the big guys in Gansu saw that he was not favored by them and wanted to win him over.

Who is Song Wenwan? He was immediately "won over" by the Central Army.

At the graduation ceremony in March, he specially invited the central army to enter Gansu to help him maintain the local area (to give him courage).

When Song Wenwan saw the commander of the First Army on the rostrum, she immediately invited him.

The commanders, both big and small, in the audience were cursing in their hearts.

It doesn’t matter if you come to the fore, but what should we do?

If we don’t invite the Central Army to “play for two days” today, will we not be able to even leave the venue?

What no one expected was that the leader of the First Army would be the first to back down.

What kind of place is Gansu's southwest? It's really sparsely populated!

Even if we had good places, they were occupied by the Ma family army, so there was no room for them to interfere.

If his First Army really marches in, even supplies will be difficult to solve. They can't defend the place on an empty stomach!

Fortunately, the person who presided over the meeting understood his difficulties and specifically rejected Song Wenwan's invitation on his behalf.

Song Wenwan stopped while she was ahead, and after saying it was a pity, she sat back down as if nothing had happened.

In fact, he would not be afraid even if the Central Army sent troops to Gansu.

Who made the Northwest have so many swordsmen and bandits? We sent people to rob them of their supplies several times, and they ran away out of hunger.

Commander Song doesn't even need to take action personally. I'm afraid the people in Xining will take action directly.

Among the commanders sitting below, there are also smart people.

Commander Song is clearly playing a trick of retreating in order to advance!

So they stood up and expressed their willingness to accept the guidance of the Central Army.

It’s just a pity that the Central Army is too busy and has no time to help them, and he expressed deep regret.

The higher-ups were extremely angry, and it was all because of the commander of the First Army who had retreated in the face of battle.

Otherwise, the purpose of this training can be achieved ahead of schedule.

At first, the Central Army was a little suspicious and thought it was all Song Wenwan's fault (in fact, it was him who did it).

But Song Wenwan made another request, which dispelled everyone's doubts about him.

Song Wenwan said, "Chairman, we have all learned a month's experience in suppressing the Communists. You should let us practice it, right?"

The chairman of the meeting was also stunned and asked, "Commander Song, how do you plan to implement it?"

Song Wenwan said: "Chairman, I am different from them. I don't have the opportunity to fight the Red Army normally.

Now that I have finally come to Jiujiang, I am just in time to go to the Red Army Soviet Area in Jiangxi.

We can help the local militia to encircle and suppress the Red Army and learn from their combat experience."

When the people in the conference hall heard this, they thought, why don’t you go back to your base after finishing your studies? What are you learning about fighting the Communists?

It has been almost a year and a half. If the Red Army was easy to deal with, why would there still be so many of them active in the mountains of Jiangxi?

Do you think your life is too long?

Everyone made an assessment of him in their hearts: Song Wenwan was a person with no bad intentions.

He is just stupid! If he is not stupid, would he let the big guys in Gansu bring him here to waste time?

Finally, the higher-ups approved it and issued him a special pass.

Let him take his guard battalion to Jiangxi to observe and learn from the experience of the National Army in suppressing the Communists!
