Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

After repelling the enemy's attack, Li Jiansheng breathed a sigh of relief. In his impression, the Central Soviet Area was also undergoing recuperation at the moment. The fourth large-scale counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Central Soviet Area in history took place next year, that is, from February 1933 to

What happened in March, therefore, for the base area where I am and the 18th Red Army

Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for the rest of this year: first, the third military operation of encirclement and counter-encirclement and suppression will take place immediately this year; second, the Kuomintang troops will rest and recuperate in preparation for the possibility of——

This may refer to next year - make full preparations for the third military campaign of encirclement and suppression and counter-encirclement and suppression.

This answer is actually easy to analyze. You can know it by referring to the anti-encirclement and suppression operations in the Central Soviet Area. The first, second, and third times in the Central Soviet Area were one after another, with a very short time interval in between; but the third time

Between the fourth time and the fourth time, and between the fourth time and the fifth time, the time interval is relatively long. The longest time is nearly a year!

At the moment, for me, I just don’t know what attitude this enemy will take: Should I do it immediately? Or should I rest and prepare for a period of time before doing it again?

But no matter which way it is, for now, Li Jiansheng is afraid that he still has to step up the training of the army and enrich the economy of the base area! When he thought of this, Li Jiansheng's thinking became more active. Just as he was thinking, Huang Su and others came in again.

Li Jiansheng smiled and nodded in greeting to Huang Su. Huang Su was obviously very excited, after all, such a big battle was rare. As soon as the two met, they came to a general opinion: step up the army reorganization!

In the afternoon, the Legion Party Committee meeting was held. Everyone generally came to the following opinions:

First, step up the training of troops and consolidate the experience and lessons learned from these two victorious battles;

Second, step up expansion. Because of two consecutive major victories, the mood of the people in the base area is high, and the land reform is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the people in the base area are extremely supportive of the Red Army. Every day, people ask to sign up to join the Red Army. You can use this advantage to step up enrollment expansion;

3. Regarding the treatment of prisoners, we agree in principle with the proposal of Army Commander Li Jiansheng. The more than 5,800 people captured in the first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign will be transferred to the remaining 5,000 people after the main forces have replenished the battle losses.

A total of 2,600 prisoners were captured, all of whom were incorporated into active military units.

Fourth, before the expansion of the army, the sniper company directly under the legion selects good marksmanship in advance and upgrades the sniper company to a sniper battalion; the reconnaissance company recruits some veterans and those with special skills and skills, and upgrades it to a reconnaissance battalion; the engineer battalion recruits some engineers to implement enhanced engineering.

Corps; the baggage battalion recruits part of the baggage troops to strengthen the baggage regiment; the artillery among the captives is directly under the corps

During the selection of the corps, the artillery battalion was upgraded to an artillery brigade directly under the corps. Liu Fugui was appointed as the brigade commander and had two artillery regiments under his jurisdiction. All prisoners who knew how to use heavy machine guns were assigned to the machine gun regiment directly under the corps, and some light machine gunners were selected to be assigned to the machine gun regiment.

regiment, and upgraded the machine gun regiment to a machine gun brigade. Liu Limin was promoted to brigade commander. It has a two-battalion heavy machine gun regiment and two two-battalion light machine gun regiments.

5. The Eighteenth Red Army Corps expanded by two new divisions, namely the Seventh Red Division and the Eighth Red Division.

The 3rd Red Regiment was drawn from the 1st Red Division and renamed the 19th Red Regiment. The 6th Red Regiment was drawn from the 2nd Red Division and renamed the 20th Red Regiment. Together they formed the backbone regiment of the 7th Red Division. Luo Dekai served as the division commander and Lu Tongfan, the backbone of the Central Soviet Area, served as the commander.

Division political commissar. Lu Tongfan was a deputy division commander of the former Red Army Corps. He was transferred

Later he served as deputy commander of the 1st Red Division. This time he was promoted to the commander of the new 7th Red Division. The 9th Red Regiment was drawn from the 3rd Red Division and renamed the 22nd Red Regiment. The 12th Red Regiment was drawn from the 4th Red Division and renamed the 23rd Red Regiment.

The regiment together formed the backbone regiment of the Eighth Red Division, with Yang Huwei as the division commander and He Jingsheng as the division's political commissar.

There are a total of 7,600 prisoners. Excluding the above specially recruited people, there are about 1,100 people, and there are still more than 6,500 people. After the first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, all the prisoners have been organized into 16 battalions. These formations are still preserved to supplement recruits.

Newly formed

into 2 battalions, a total of 18 battalions. According to the organization method of three battalions per regiment, a total of 6 standard regiments were organized, with about 200 people remaining. These six regiments were renamed the Red Third Regiment and the Red Sixth Regiment respectively.

Red 9th Regiment, Red 12th Regiment, Red 21st Regiment, Red 24th Regiment, divided into

The remaining approximately 200 people were all incorporated into the division-directly-affiliated troops of other divisions, and were recruited from other divisions.

Divide 200 people into four professional platoons of 50 people, and organize them separately

The 7th Red Division and the 8th Red Division are considered professional units directly under the two divisions, and initially form the skeleton of the two divisions' staff, special agents, teaching, security, sniper, reconnaissance, communications, cooking and other units; as for the sources of troops, they rely on new recruitment and

It will be supplemented by prisoners of war in the future.

Sixth, two consecutive counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns were successful. A total of about five enemy divisions were annihilated and a lot of seizures were made. In addition to the various units directly under the corps headquarters, it was fully capable of arming regiments with artillery, arming heavy machine guns with battalions, and arming light machine guns.

On duty, all departments are required to strengthen their weaponry and provide training on the use of weapons. Good

Most of the new recruits are former soldiers of the enemy's local warlords and the Central Army. They are of high quality and there is no need to worry about the use of weapons. However, ideological and political work must be strengthened. Therefore, chief officers at all levels must go to the front line and do their job as soldiers.

, ensuring that the combat power is maximized before the possible third counter-encirclement and suppression campaign!

After the meeting, the heads of each division and directly affiliated troops immediately rushed to their respective units. They organized the army, trained and trained, did the work and did the work. The vigorous military training and the army reorganization began again. Three days later, the organizational expansion of each department was completed.

.At this point, Li Jiansheng’s Eighteenth Red Army Corps took control

8 divisions, as well as directly affiliated artillery brigades, machine gun brigades, reinforced engineering regiments, reinforced baggage regiments, special service regiments, teaching regiments, guard battalions, sniper battalions, reconnaissance battalions, communications companies, cooking squads, field hospitals, and weapons development institutes.

The Quilt Factory, both in terms of weapons and soldiers, is unprecedentedly powerful.

While strengthening the organizational construction of the army, the army is being reorganized, including military and political training, while recruiting troops to expand. The establishment is easy to handle. With the assistance of professional institutions at all levels of the legion, it will soon get on the right track; military training is not slow either, because there are

With the handling of the training office and the teaching group, and the fact that each new unit was organized into each division separately, with the assistance of each division, all aspects of work quickly got on track. There is no need to worry about recruitment and expansion, because there are various military stations

and training offices and local governments

As soon as the banner of support and expansion was raised, in just one week, more than 2,200 new soldiers were recruited throughout the base area, including progressive young people in the base area and young people from surrounding areas affected by the base area. The staff office and training office are

Ask Li Jiansheng for instructions

Later, two new corps were established. Gao Dashan and Li Zheng, the two deputy commanders of the teaching corps, were appointed as the commanders of the two new corps respectively. Li Shangzheng, a local party member, and Xiong Jie, a veteran political worker from the Central Soviet Area, were appointed as the commanders of the two new corps.

The political commissar of the new corps is mainly responsible for the training of these new recruits.
