Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Chapter 5 First meeting with Chen Shuxiang

Looking at several people gathered around from a distance, and some of them were obviously not wearing the camouflage uniforms of his own army, Li Jiansheng guessed that these people were the famous Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin and others in history without even thinking about it. Therefore, the guns were put into the box at once and they came over quickly. Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin and other leaders of the Red 34th Division, who had obviously received Li Zhi's prompt, also came over quickly.

As expected, Chen Shuxiang is a capable middle-aged man, neither tall nor short, with particularly sharp eyes. At first glance, he looks like a real soldier. However, Cheng Cuilin gave him the impression that something was wrong. In Li Jiansheng's impression, this political commissar He was supposed to be a quiet, weak man wearing glasses, but he turned out to be a tough middle-aged man, powerful and about the same age as Chen Shuxiang.

Li Jiansheng greeted him with a smile. You must know that this is the real Central Red Army. Although these people have been sacrificed in history, they are all famous men. Thinking that he has changed some history and saved These talented people, Li Jiansheng was inexplicably excited, so the sincere smile was reflected on his face, and the excitement was fully revealed by his rich body language. However, just taking a few steps forward, Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin and other leaders of the Red 34th Division in gray cloth military uniforms came a few steps ahead and reached Li Jiansheng's eyes. Without saying a word, they all saluted and loudly said: "Chen Shuxiang, the division commander of the 34th Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Cheng Cuilin, division political commissar, and Cai Zhong, director of the Political Department, expressed his greetings to Commander-in-Chief Li Jiansheng of the Third Red Front Army,"

Li Jian, who was walking quickly, stopped abruptly and was startled. It took him a while to realize: They were saluting him as subordinates. Oh, no wonder, he had forgotten his identity. He was a dignified person. The commander-in-chief of the third front army, they are the division commander, political commissar and director of the division's political department of the 34th Division. The commander-in-chief of the front army is at least three levels higher than them. You must know that there is a corps below the front army, and the division is below the corps. I didn't think about this. Is it necessary to be so hierarchical?

Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng felt a little helpless and didn't care about this so-called etiquette. However, seeing the blood-stained old Red Army soldiers saluting him in front of him, he had no choice but to put aside all his doubts and unhappiness and raised his hands in return. The two sides just shook hands and talked and laughed, but Li Jiansheng didn't know that in fact Mao Weiren, Boss Zhu, Zhou Weiren, etc. had always been in harmony with these grassroots cadres. The army did not have such a strict hierarchy concept before, but later the central power was withdrawn, and it was especially solemn. Since the launch of the counter-attack, the sense of hierarchy in the Red Army has gradually strengthened. However, tough men like Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin and others who fought out of the hail of bullets did not care much about this hierarchy. But today it is different. They almost They sincerely thanked the youngest senior general of the Red Army for saving them in a critical moment and rescuing the 34th Division. Therefore, these men saluted Li Jiansheng sincerely. Besides, Li Jiansheng's deeds, they were I heard it so well that I admired him very much in my heart. How could I not be excited to see him today and be saved by him? However, Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin and others are all men and are not used to acting like daughters, but this subordinate The ceremony to pay tribute to Li Jiansheng has already explained a lot.

Li Jiansheng didn't know what the leaders of the Red 34th Division were thinking like this. He only knew that they were division-level leaders, and he was the leader of the front army. That's why everyone treated him like this. If he knew about it, his face would probably be red for a long time. He knows that Chen Shuxiang and Cheng Cuilin are both people he respects very much. If someone he respects greatly pays tribute to him because he admires him, Li Jiansheng is too shameless to accept it.

Fortunately, the few people present were all straightforward people. They met each other and introduced each other once, and they were acquainted. Li Jiansheng heard Chen Shuxiang introduce that the director of the 34th Division’s Political Department is also named Cai Zhong, so he took a few more glances, and later He smiled and said, his Red Third Front Army also has a senior general named Cai Zhong, who is also a veteran in political work. Next time, he will have to call the two Cai Zhongs together to see which Cai Zhong is more powerful. This statement , but it made several people laugh out loud.

After the mutual exchange, Li Jiansheng asked carefully about the situation of the 34th Red Division. He learned that although the 34th Division suffered heavy losses, the backbone of the division was still there, but the ammunition was seriously insufficient. Li Jiansheng nodded to express his knowledge, but his heart flew away again: Historically, the Red 34th Division finally broke through after being severely damaged by the Guangxi Army at Guanyin Mountain. However, it had to follow the erroneous order of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and advance from Banqiaopu to Bailuyuan, intending to cross through an appropriate area south of Jieshou. After crossing the Xiang River, they didn't know that Banqiaopu, Jieshou and other places had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The 34th Division took the initiative to fall into the enemy's trap again. This time, the 34th Division was crippled. Cheng Cuilin and Cai Zhong Chen Shuxiang was killed in the battle, and the remaining troops retreated. On the way, they were attacked by the Gui army again and were divided into several groups. Chen Shuxiang led more than 1,000 people to break through and reentered Guanyang. They ran out of ammunition and food. They were repeatedly surrounded and attacked by militia groups. December 5, 34 The division returned to Guanyin Mountain and was attacked by militia groups again. Chen Shuxiang urgently summoned division and regiment cadres and announced two decisions: first, to break out from places where the enemy's strength was weak and to develop guerrilla warfare in southern Hunan; second, if the breakout failed, Vowing to shed the last drop of blood for the Soviet New China, Chen Shuxiang and division chief of staff Wang Guangdao led the division directly and the remaining members of the 101st and 102nd regiments, a total of about 400 to 500 people, broke out eastward. The 100th regiment was responsible for covering under the command of regiment leader Han Wei. After fierce fighting, 100 With only about 30 people left in the regiment, Han Wei decided to disperse and break out. On December 9, when Chen Shuxiang was trying to cross the Guzi River in southern Hunan, he was ambushed by the local security group. Chen Shuxiang was wounded in the abdomen. In the end, only two soldiers were left to carry Chen Shuxiang away. He was killed by the enemy. As a prisoner, Chen Shuxiang stretched out his hand to cut off his intestines from the abdominal wound. The enemy chopped off Chen Shuxiang's head and hung it on the city wall of Xiaowumen in his hometown of Changsha County. At this point, this heroic Red Army steel guard was basically wiped out, with dozens of remaining troops. They went to the mountains to fight guerrillas, which later grew to more than 200 people. They were finally wiped out by the Kuomintang. Except for a few soldiers in the division who hid among the people and survived, Han Wei was the only one who found the Central Red Army and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, saved them, and changed the fate of these people at the most critical moment. Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng's heart felt inexplicably. He looked at the soldiers of the Red 34th Division who were resting around him, and couldn't help but let out two thoughts. Xing Weeping: Such a good soldier finally did not end up under Li De’s blind command, and finally did not die in the hands of the Guangxi militia that looked like bandits. This in itself is the value of coming to this era. Yes, this is me. In the counter-revolutionary campaign, he saved more than 1,600 key members; in the Xinwei Blockade, he saved the 34th Red Division. Needless to say, all of this is the value of his coming to this era.

Thinking of this, the pride in Li Jiansheng's chest finally filled up again. Then he slowly came back to his senses and looked up, only to find that everyone was looking at him in surprise. Li Jiansheng's face heated up: He is still too young. No, I have lost my composure now. At the moment, I don’t want to be too pretentious, so I have to tell the truth and say: I’m sorry, I just thought of the soldiers of the 34th Division who fought hard, and I felt a little excited...

It's okay that he didn't explain. This explanation made everyone's minds a little more lively. Li Zhi, Wu Zheng, and Li Yu came here day and night with Li Jiansheng. The days on the road were so miserable. Well, it took three days to march nearly 700 miles, averaging more than 200 miles of mountain roads every day. You know, it was all done on the feet. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief told them that they knew they were here to save their comrades, so everyone didn't say anything. At this moment, his comrades were rescued and the enemy was eliminated, and they were in a happy mood. Therefore, when the commander-in-chief said this, everyone felt the same, and several division leaders of the Red 34th Division looked at Li Jiansheng's situation and then looked at Li Zhi , the demeanor and attire of Wu Zheng and others showed that this brotherly army had indeed suffered a lot for their own troops this time, but their commander-in-chief was still complaining about himself. How could anyone describe this touching feeling in words? At that moment, several division leaders sighed in their hearts: Commander Li is really a talented person. They looked at each other, lined up in a row, and saluted Li Jiansheng solemnly once again.
