Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

What Li Jiansheng did not expect was that many years later, he would actively request to cancel the designation of the Third Red Front Army and merge the Third Red Front Army into the First Red Army, which greatly strengthened the strength of the First Red Army, while he himself was only The fact that he served as the commander of the Seventh Red Army was recognized by later historians as one of the examples of humility among generals of the Republic. This was related to Peng Dehuai's initiative to give up the expansion of the Third Red Army during the Agrarian Revolution and preferred to serve as the commander of the Third Red Army; as well as the Liberation War During this period, Su Yusan gave up the posts of commander and political commissar of the East China Field Army, preferring to serve as deputy commander, deputy political commissar, acting commander, and acting political commissar of the East China Field Army; and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Guangda wrote three times when he evaluated generals, requesting that he not be awarded the title. His rank as a general and his subsequent request to be demoted were collectively referred to as the four major humility incidents by later historians. Of course, these are things for later and will not be mentioned in detail for the time being.

Looking at the documents in hand, Li Jiansheng had mixed feelings. Of course, the current situation was pressing and he couldn't help but think too much. He immediately ordered the special agent brigade and the guard regiment to be on guard, and personally issued an order for each division to act in accordance with the documents and orders of the central government. After receiving his order, the former Red Army units happily accepted the adaptation order. That night, an uninvited guest broke into Li Jiansheng's bedroom. Li Jiansheng, who was about to take a rest, saw that the visitor was not someone else, but his own. When Liu Fugui, commander of the artillery division, saw Li Jiansheng, his anger subsided, but he still said a little sadly: "Commander-in-Chief, the artillery division is gone."

Li Jiansheng also knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment. When he looked at his condition, he immediately ran a lot of distance. He didn't guess that he had just rushed here overnight after receiving the order. He was a little moved, but his face was just He smiled slightly and said: "Liu Fugui, I am only the commander of the Seventh Red Army, not the commander-in-chief of the Third Red Army."

"Oh, Corps Commander, our artillery division is gone." Liu Fugui was startled, then realized it, but still raised his own question: "Well, I don't know what the Corps Commander thought, how he could accept the dispersion of the artillery division to So many troops,”

Li Jiansheng stared at Liu Fugui, laughed again, and said: "Liu Fugui, do you feel uncomfortable when you don't have a division commander? If that's the case, I will immediately request that you be transferred to a division as a division commander." ,"

When Liu Fugui heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said: "Legion Commander, you don't know my character yet. I just want to kill the enemy with you. I really don't care if I am a division commander or not. It's just that I see us. Some of the family property that we worked so hard for, how can we just divide it?"

Li Jiansheng saw that Liu Fugui was really what he thought. He did not care about the position of division commander, but about these artillery pieces. He was confident in his heart. He smiled and said: "Liu Fugui, let me ask you, do you believe me?"

"Well," Liu Fugui obviously didn't expect Li Jiansheng's question and was startled. However, he soon understood the subtext of Li Jiansheng's words and said happily: "Legion Commander, you mean that we may develop into something like this in the future. Artillery Division,"

"You have such a vision. If you take a longer view, how can you only develop into an artillery division? I think it is completely possible to develop into an artillery corps after the launch. The prerequisite is that you believe me or not."

"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Liu Fugui knew Li Jiansheng too well. If he said one, he would be one, if he said two, he would be two. If he said that, he must be sure. He immediately became happy and said loudly. : "Faith, faith, faith,"

In the next few days, the temporary central committee held a meeting in the passage, and Li Jiansheng's troops stepped up their reorganization. Commander Lin of the First Red Army Corps, Commander Peng of the Third Red Army, Commander Dong of the Fifth Red Army, and Commander Luo of the Ninth Red Army , suddenly received the generous gift from Li Jiansheng who was transferred from the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. At first, they were stunned one by one, and then they found that these newly transferred soldiers were strong and well-armed. Even the military uniforms, military quilts, and military shoes were all new. Sighing, everyone in their respective units lamented that Li Jiansheng was able to lead troops, and the soldiers he brought out were all elite soldiers. They also lamented that Li Jiansheng was very good at making equipment. How sophisticated these weapons were. Their old army could not compare with them. As for the soldiers leading The military rations in the past also made the veterans lament: Most of the veterans did not have much food in their hands, but the soldiers who transferred from the Red Third Front Army had full food bags. Especially when Li Jiansheng's artillery battalion came over, it immediately became several The regimental commander's precious treasure is given top priority and taken care of.

Several legion commanders were overjoyed. Firstly, their teams were full and restored, and they also increased their formations and troop sources. Secondly, they lamented Li Jiansheng's generosity. After this, several legion commanders Li Jiansheng's opinion of Li Jiansheng is extremely good, and he is full of praise every time he talks about it. As for the leaders of these soldiers, because of the order of the central government, all of them have been transferred back to the Seventh Red Army. These people don't care. You know, right now, this Among the several main forces, which one does not have a lot of backbones, there are only a handful of people who can serve as regimental leaders. Therefore, as soon as the sources of troops provided by Li Jiansheng came over, several legions were completed in a very short period of time. The organization is enriched.

While these army commanders were busy reorganizing the army, Li Jiansheng also met with Huang Su and bid farewell to Huang Su. Huang Su returned to the Eighth Red Army with a special agent brigade and a guard regiment, and soon met with Zhou Zikun and others. Together, the two troops he brought were later unified and integrated into the guard regiment of the Eighth Red Army. Later, they often played a key role at critical moments, and later became the troops directly under the 389th Brigade, and returned to the command of Li Jiansheng. Down.

Huang Su was sent away. Luo Ronghuan had not yet arrived, but Zeng Zhongsheng had arrived. Li Jiansheng immediately ordered all ministries to be integrated on the spot: After part of the special agent brigade was taken away by Huang Su, the remaining three battalions were organized into the special agent regiment, with Wu Zheng as the commander and Li Yu as the commander. Regiment political commissar, the guard regiment was originally a brigade-level establishment. Now part of it has been taken away, and it is still a guard regiment. Li Zhi is the regiment commander. The artillery division currently has only two battalions left, which have been reorganized into an artillery battalion. Liu Fugui, who was the artillery division commander He was appointed as the artillery battalion commander, and Huang Fengke was changed to the instructor; the engineer division currently only has two battalions left, which were reorganized into a battalion of 800 people, called the engineer battalion. Peng Xu still served as the battalion commander, Wen Chunlin served as the instructor, and the supply battalion now There were only two battalions left, and they were reorganized into a supply battalion of 800 people. Xu Zhengfang and Zeng Xiangyang no longer served as battalion leaders. Liu Limin, the former commander of the Guards Division, served as the battalion commander, and Wang Zhengfei, the former political commissar of the Guards Division, served as the battalion instructor. , Huang Hua serves as deputy battalion commander.

As for the combat troops, Li Jiansheng ordered: the original Red 1st Division and the 8th Red Division were merged and reorganized into the new Red 16th Division according to the overall combat order of the Red Front Army, with division commander Yang Zhishen, division political commissar Su Zhengfei, division chief of staff Gao Yuan, deputy division commander Yang Huwei, Deputy political commissar He Jingsheng; the 2nd Red Division and the 7th Red Division were originally merged and reorganized into the New Red 17th Division according to the overall combat sequence of the First Red Army, with division commander Guo Hu, political commissar Li Qin, chief of staff Li Qing, deputy division commander Luo Dekai, and deputy political commissar Lu Tongfan. ; The 3rd Red Division and the 6th Red Division were originally merged and reorganized. According to the overall combat order of the First Red Army, they were the New Red 18th Division, with division commander Lu Keshan, political commissar Guo Zhengjun, chief of staff and deputy division commander Hu Tingquan, and deputy political commissar Cai Zhong; Red 4th Division and The 5th Red Division was originally merged and reorganized. According to the overall combat order of the Red Army, it was the New Red 19th Division, with division commander Yan Dong, political commissar Bai Kaishan, and deputy division commander and chief of staff Niu Dali. After reorganization, there were four divisions: 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th. Each division has a standard strength of more than 9,000 men. Each division has two brigades and six regiments. The brigade is the division under Li Jiansheng's original standard strength of 4,500 men.

As for the departments directly under the Seventh Red Army, they are still generally as before: Xu Zhengfang is appointed as the deputy chief of staff of the Army Logistics, and the political commissar of the Logistics and Heavy Equipment Department. Zeng Xiangyang is the director of the Logistics and Heavy Equipment Department; Su Sai, the former political commissar of the 5th Red Division, is transferred to the Legion Security Department to take over. Wu Kelie is the director; Sun Wenjie, the leader of the teaching regiment, and Qin Jianqiang, the political commissar; He Xiaolu, the director of the clothing factory; Wu Kelie, the former security director, is the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and he has returned to his hometown; Ren Huayun, the communications battalion commander, and deputy battalion commander District chief Zhengping, battalion instructor Fan Chao; field hospital party secretary and political commissar Qiu Xiangping, cavalry company commander Shao Qianjin.

Because this was Li Jiansheng's starting unit, it was reorganized quickly. It took only an hour after Li Jiansheng's order was issued, and the reorganization was completed. As for the division commanders, political commissars, regimental commanders, regimental political commissars, battalion commanders, instructors, and companies who may be demoted, The commander and instructor, because Li Jiansheng's demotion was ahead of them, accepted it without hesitation and quickly entered their roles. As for the more than 700 key members of other units who were transferred back from the Third Red Front Army, Most of them were trained by Li Jiansheng personally and rescued from the Central Soviet Area. They are convinced by Li Jiansheng and are unwilling to leave Li Jiansheng's army. Therefore, this current approach is quite in line with their requirements, and they don't care whether they are promoted or promoted in the new army. As for the more than 100 old Red Army veterans Li Jiansheng rescued from the Xiangjiang River, they were all incorporated into the combat troops to serve in actual duties. As a result, the Seventh Red Army had a strange situation: not only did it have a large number of regiment-level company commanders, There are also many division-level battalion commanders and regimental commanders.

By the time Luo Ronghuan arrived at the legion headquarters of the Seventh Red Army, Li Jiansheng had already reorganized the unit. When the political commissar arrived, he warmly welcomed him, introduced him to several other generals of the legion, and held another welcome meeting that night. , then he asked Yuntian and others to accompany Luo Ronghuan to get familiar with the troops directly under him; then he bid farewell to several old leaders one by one overnight and told him that he would go to the army the next day. Several old leaders also gave encouragement one by one, so that Li Jiansheng did a good job and didn't want to carry the burden. Li Jiansheng agreed and thanked them one by one. Early the next morning, the first thing Li Jiansheng did was to meet with Commander Lin and transfer the defense of Passage City to Lin. The commander of the Red Army Corps; the second thing is to take other leaders of the Corps Headquarters to pick up Luo Ronghuan, a respected old political worker, and then lead the special agent group and the guard group directly out of the city to join his own large army. The commander of the new Seventh Red Army Corps ascended on horseback,
