Long March Gouba Meeting: ** Strive to go to work, a certain leader resolutely disagrees, saying that if you don't do it, you won't do it! 」。
At the Zunyi Conference in January 1935, he was elected a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, and on March 4 he was appointed political commissar of the Red Army's former enemy headquarters. However, unexpectedly, less than a week later, ** was removed from this position.
What is the reason for this? It turned out that on March 10, after the second crossing of Chishui, the commander of the Red First Army** and the political commissar*** jointly sent a telegram**, suggesting an attack on the new drum field.
Zhang Wentian, who was in charge of the work at that time, immediately convened an enlarged meeting to discuss the battle plan. Most people unanimously agreed with this plan, and only *** one person was against it.
He believed that the hostile situation in the region was not as rosy as everyone thought, and that the Kuomintang might well have set a trap for the arrival of the Red Army. According to the principles of organization, Zhang Wentian suggested that everyone should decide by a show of hands, but *** said that if he insisted on implementing this plan, he would not be able to continue as the political commissar of the former enemy headquarters.
Kaifeng immediately said: The minority obeys the majority, you are making trouble. And Zhang Wentian insisted: If you can't agree, you can only leave. In the end, by a show of hands, ** only got his own vote, and the meeting decided to attack the new drum field the next day, and removed him from the post of political commissar of the former enemy headquarters.
The truth is often in the hands of a few", *After deep thought, he realized the danger of the action, so he lit the lantern and persuaded *** and ** to postpone the issuance of the next day's offensive order.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the Second Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission intercepted the enemy's telegram, confirming that the Dian and Sichuan armies were secretly assembling at the new drum field. In the end, at the insistence of ***, the Red Army successfully avoided the ambush.
The decisive victory of the Gouba Conference has forcefully confirmed the incomparable correctness of the military thinking. It also reminds us that military decision-making is not guaranteed by democratization.
Therefore, at the meeting, ** proposed to reorganize the new "three-person group" to replace the three-person group composed of Bogu, Li De, and **. Zhang Wentian immediately accepted and implemented this proposal, and thus formed a new military command core of Wang Jiaxiang.
This reorganization made the military command more active after the Zunyi Conference, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent three crossings of Chishui, the fourth crossing of Chishui, and even the victory of the entire Long March.
