I really came here to fight against Japan

The political commissar was surprised and said, "Zhao Datou, what did you just say? There is a base of our Red Army in northern Shaanxi?"

Zhao Datou was stunned by the question and turned to look at Company Commander Yue who had just joined their battalion.

Company Commander Yue also didn’t know why the political commissar of the Red Army Vanguard Regiment had such a big reaction.

Captain Yue said: "There is a Red Army base in northern Shaanxi. I told Captain Zhao about it today!"

Commander Yang said: "We in the Red Army don't know about this, how did you know about it?"

Captain Yue was shocked and said, "So you didn't even know there was a Red Army base in northern Shaanxi?

I saw you marching towards northern Shaanxi, and I thought you knew it a long time ago!"

After Captain Yue finished speaking, he immediately took out a map from his side and gave it to Yang Tuan. On it were drawn the Red Army's marching route and the National Army's defensive posture.

Captain Yue explained: "This is the military deployment plan given by the Central Army at the joint military meeting last month.

Many of us here know that you are going to northern Shaanxi to join up with the Red Army troops there.

So when we saw you were indeed heading that way, none of us mentioned it.”

Captain Yang slapped his thigh and said, "Look, this matter has gone wrong, hasn't it?"

His superiors don't know this good news yet, so he has to report it to them right away.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly came to him with a happy look on his face.

"Reporting to Captain Yang, the headquarters asked you to come over immediately to attend an emergency military meeting."

The political commissar asked, "Comrade, do you know what happened?"

The young soldier said: "I heard that the leaders learned from the enemy's newspaper that there is a base of our Red Army in northern Shaanxi."

Company Commander Yue was very embarrassed, feeling as if he had almost delayed the Red Army's important event.

This matter is mainly to blame Song Wenwan, as he only has a vague understanding of the details of history.

In his opinion, the Red Army should have known long ago that there was a base in northern Shaanxi.

As a result, he did not think of giving a reminder and almost delayed the Red Army's important event.

Captain Yang saw that the map was there and that someone who knew the inside story was there too.

He simply went to the headquarters with the political commissar, taking the ammunition, maps, and Company Commander Yue.

Zhao Datou, who was left behind waiting for the task, finally became proud.

When she was just "married", there were only about 300 people and about a hundred guns.

Today was the first time we "returned home", and not only did everyone have a horse, but there were also more than two hundred people.

Not only was everyone equipped with a gun, but even Zhao Datou himself had an additional submachine gun.

Now his head is pressed against his back, and he only looks at people with his chin.

The two battalion commanders who stayed behind in the regiment didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But Captain Zhao was restless and kept touching this and poking that, calling everyone "little devil".

The two angry battalion commanders worked together to knock him over, and only then did he calm down.

Zhao Datou said: "My two old friends, I had thought about it when I came here.

I can’t give you any more guns from the battalion, so you’ll have to think carefully before giving more to the platoon comrades.”

“Grenades and bullets are consumables, and I can make the decision on these.

Let me put it this way. I've brought you a thousand grenades, and 10,000 rounds of light and heavy machine gun bullets each."

"You are the vanguard group, and you will definitely have a share of the two mortars we brought back this time.

I've left fifty of each type of shells, so don't be reluctant to use them when the time comes.

You must bring all the comrades to the Shaanxi-North base area safely."

In the middle of the night, Captain Yang and Company Commander Yue finally returned.

As the vanguard regiment of the entire army, they will start moving towards Wuqi Town tomorrow morning.

There is a division of the Central Army there. If we can get rid of them, we can open the door to northern Shaanxi.

The superior leaders agreed with Commander Song's opinion and decided that Suo Wuxing's guerrilla detachment would not follow the main force but would develop in Gansu.

The only change was the name of the Gansu Northwest Guerrilla Detachment, which was changed to the Gansu-Shaanxi Guerrilla Column.

We should strive to connect the bases in northern Shaanxi and northwestern Gansu as soon as possible.

Moreover, the superior leaders said that Comrade Zhao Datou's name was not famous enough.

He was given a new name, Zhao Bi Da.

It means the road to victory of the revolution, which must be reached.

While Comrade Zhao Bi Da was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears.

Captain Yang took away all the submachine guns and the corresponding bullets from their battalion.

What Captain Yang meant was: There is a crucial battle to be fought in Wuqi Town.

Comrade Zhao Bidada, you are at least a division-level cadre.

Why do you still care about these two submachine guns? Aren't you ashamed?

Then, before Comrade Zhao Bidada could react, Commander Yang set off with more than fifty submachine guns.

The next morning, Zhao Bidada led the people in the camp back to their original base.

He didn't have to worry about it, as Captain Yue got it done that same evening.

Company Commander Yue brought the newly received submachine guns, bullets, and grenades to the battalion headquarters.

Some Red Army soldiers who went with them came back and reported to Battalion Commander Zhao.

When the people in the armory saw Captain Yue, they were all very polite.

Not only did they call him Brother Yue, but they were also very happy to give him supplies.

The next morning, Political Commissar Ding and Suo Wuxing held a meeting for everyone.

The Northwest Gansu Guerrilla Detachment was upgraded to the Gansu-Shaanxi Guerrilla Column.

Suo Wuxing was appointed commander of the column, and Comrade Ding Xiaoyun was appointed political commissar of the column.

At this time, it would be inappropriate for Comrade Zhao Bi Da to serve as the deputy commander of the column.

The headquarters sent a comrade named Yang Liqing to serve as the deputy commander of the column.

This was a division-level cadre of the Red Army, who was an expert in both guerrilla warfare and positional warfare.

All the infantry battalions were reorganized into detachment numbers, and everyone was collectively promoted by one level.

Zhao Bidada's battalion, as a unit with the roots of the old Red Army, naturally became the commander of the first detachment.

Suo Wuxing said: "It is said that our northwest is vast and sparsely populated, so we have given you the numbers and troops.

For future development, you will have to rely on your own abilities.

If you have a battalion under you, you are the battalion-level detachment commander.

Once you have three battalions under your command, you will be a regimental-level detachment commander.

At the end of the year, everyone will be ranked. By then, everyone will be at brigade level. If you are still a battalion commander, don’t blame me for revoking your number! "

Political Commissar Ding saw that Suo Wuxing from the Gansu Sixth Militia was quite capable.

He also came up with a last-place elimination system. He himself was quite comfortable, sitting in the column headquarters and enjoying the fruits of his labor.

Sun Desheng served as the commander of the cavalry detachment, the boss of Tianmailing, and the deputy commander of the cavalry detachment.

As the vanguard of the entire army, they first returned to Tianmailing to scout the enemy situation.

That afternoon, the Gansu-Shaanxi Guerrilla Column set out towards Tianmailing in the northwest of Gansu.

Commander Song Wenwan returned to his base, secretly wondering what kind of big prize he could draw in the system today.

He had to put the development of the troops in Gansu aside for the time being.

The entire Northwest is home to only a few inhabited areas.

If he recruits one more soldier, the Red Army will have to recruit one less soldier.

So he prepared to go to other provinces to recruit people. For example, in neighboring Sichuan, there were still many guerrillas left behind by the Red Army.

Rather than fighting hard under the heavy siege of the enemy, it is better to go back to Gansu with me to develop!
