Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Chapter 79: Expanding the Army Again

The rest of Xue Yue's troops gave Li Jiansheng's troops a great opportunity. Because Xue Yue hated the inaction of the Hunan Army and Gui Army, and was unwilling to inform the warlords of these two places of the fact that his troops had been damaged, the relevant situation was not disclosed. There was no notification. As a result, Li Jiansheng's troops were successfully reorganized and allowed the entire army to attack Chen Guangzhong's 63rd Division.

It turned out that after capturing a large number of soldiers of the Central Army, Li Jiansheng was overjoyed, because in these fierce battles with Xue Yue's troops, more than 13,000 soldiers of the Central Army were captured, and more than 5,600 were lightly wounded. In Li Jiansheng's view, these people were all captured. It is possible to transform them into soldiers of their own army, and these soldiers of the Central Army are of good quality, which Li Jiansheng likes the most. Fortunately, Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar, and Zhao Boping, the director of the Political Department, are very proactive and strong in their work ability, and they have already "invented" Li Jiansheng's That set of grievance activities was used to perfection. As soon as the prisoners arrived, all political staff came to the front line, doing work, chatting about daily life, complaining, eating and living together, and more than 8,000 people were converted in an instant. Later, by continuing to work, he converted more than 2,000 people. The remaining more than 1,000 people were semi-voluntarily and semi-forced, and were also recruited into the regular army. In this way, Li Jiansheng suddenly had more than 12,000 people on hand.

With so many sources of soldiers, Li Jiansheng's first thing was to allocate one battalion from each of the Special Agent Regiment, Guard Regiment, and Teaching Regiment, then break them up into four battalions, and then select more than 700 captive soldiers from these people, formed the 62nd regiment, and then transferred elite troops from the four main divisions to supplement the special agent regiment, guard regiment and teaching regiment, so that these three most elite regiments could all be restored to full strength. On this basis, from these Troops were mobilized from the captured troops to supplement the four main divisions and restore the four main divisions to full strength.

The second thing is to establish the 20th Division. The 59th Regiment of the 17th Division, the 60th Regiment of the 18th Division, and the 61st Regiment of the 19th Division will be transferred together with the 62nd Regiment to form the 20th Division. The division commander Hu Tingquan, the political commissar Lu Tongfan, and the former The four regiments of the 16th Division were not moved, and one battalion from each of the three regiments of the 17th Division was used as a basis to recruit new soldiers, and the 63rd Regiment was established, attached to the 17th Division; and one battalion from each of the three regiments of the 18th Division was used as the basis. Based on this, the 64th Regiment was established to supplement new recruits, which was affiliated with the 18th Division. Based on one battalion from each of the three regiments of the 19th Division, it was supplemented with new recruits and the 65th Regiment was established, which was affiliated to the 19th Division. Several newly established regiments, all The cadres of regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons are all old cadres that Li Jiansheng rescued from the Central Soviet Area or later on the banks of the Xiangjiang River.

The third thing is to replenish the artillery brigade, sniper battalion, baggage regiment, and engineering regiment. All the remaining prisoners, as well as some lightly injured personnel, are organized into two new regiments. These new regiments at all levels The cadres were all the backbones of the Seventh Red Army. As a result, in just three days, Li Jiansheng's command had a total of 20 regiments and five entire divisions of combat troops. This did not include the artillery brigade, engineering regiment, and baggage regiment. Guard regiment, special agent regiment, cavalry regiment, sniper battalion and two new regiments. In fact, the current cavalry regiment has become a full cavalry regiment after this battle, because after annihilating the Central Army Huiji First Detachment, they obtained More than 700 horses, plus more than 170 horses recruited by Li Jiansheng from the logistics system, turned Shao Qianjin's cavalry regiment into a veritable cavalry regiment with three battalions and another directly affiliated company. In fact, the logistics system did not even have enough horses. , However, because Li Jiansheng established an entire division in one go and changed the uniforms and weapons, which greatly reduced the pressure on the logistics system, he was able to allocate some war horses. As for the sniper battalion, although it is still a battalion at the moment, it The strength is strong. The number is nearly 1,500, which is equivalent to an ordinary regiment. The artillery brigade has grown again. In Liu Fugui's opinion, as long as he fights one more battle and annihilates a brigade of his enemy, his artillery brigade will definitely be upgraded. For the artillery division.

Liu Fugui's wish did not come true, because Li Jiansheng had made up his mind to annihilate another enemy unit, and it was not a brigade, but a division. It turned out that, like Xue Yue, Li Jiansheng's eyes had been set on Chen Guangzhong's 63rd Division, for no other reason than he Coming from a later generation, he knows this army very well. Unlike Xue Yue who disdains Chen Guangzhong's division, he hates this division very much. The reason is Chen Guangzhong's indiscriminate killing. He is familiar with history and knows that since the Long March of the Central Red Army, Later, Chen Guang's central department actively pursued the Red Army and rushed to the front line. Taking official history as an example, after the Red Army moved to Guizhou, He Jian used the excuse of encircling and suppressing the Second and Sixth Red Army to withdraw most of the main force of the Hunan Army, leaving only Lieutenant Commander Chen Guang followed the Central Army in pursuit of the Red Army and burned, killed, and looted the Miao people in the Zhenxiong area of ​​Yunnan, causing almost no human habitation within a radius of dozens of miles. Because there were so many people killed, the bounty was reduced from 3 silver dollars per left ear to 1 silver dollar. , In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Division Chen Guangzhong was ordered to garrison the Jinshan Guard. Unlike the 800 warriors of the 62nd Division of the Hunan Army who stained the Jinshan Guard with blood, Chen Guangzhong saw that the war was tense and secretly ran back to Shaoyang to build the Chen Garden Pavilion, which led to the defeat of the division. Major General Li Bojiao, the brigade commander, After he was killed in battle, Chiang Kai-shek became really angry and imprisoned him in Shangrao, Jiangxi. After he was released, Chen Guangzhong returned to his hometown, bullied men and women, and committed all kinds of evil, forcing a generation of Shaoyang famous actress Hua Zhongxi to commit suicide by drowning herself in the river. When Hunan was peacefully liberated, Chen Guangzhong jumped out again and was appointed by Bai Chongxi as the so-called "Commander of the National Salvation Army", specializing in attacking and killing rebel troops and ordinary people. Li Jiansheng always believed that Tao Guang killed many people, but he was never as indiscriminate as Chen Guangzhong. He originally hated Tao Guang. , because he massacred this division on the battlefield and even killed Tao Guang directly; but this time, he had made up his mind that Chen Guangzhong's troops would "leave no one behind" and would not "accept surrender".

The order was given to all ministries, and each ministry immediately prepared and then moved forward in sequence according to the deployment of Chief of Staff Zeng Zhongsheng. Unfortunately, Chen Guangzhong, who was targeted by Li Jiansheng, was still kept in the dark and killed more than 800 Red Army soldiers on the bank of the Xiangjiang River. He also raped and killed them himself. Chen Guangzhong, who had captured three female Red Army soldiers, thought that Commander He Jian's arrangement this time was still as "easy" as before, so he did not take into account that the Central Army in front had shrunk and just sent his troops forward. As a result, they crashed into Li Jiansheng's army. During the siege, although the combat effectiveness of this division was not weak, the entire five divisions of Li Jiansheng's department who faced the enemy were eager to make contributions. Their weapons were unprecedentedly replenished, and they received the order "leave no one behind" early, because so many of them were killed. It was extremely tragic. Xue Yuebu, who received the distress telegram, wanted to rescue, but Li Jiansheng's 16th Division was watching him; Wei Yunsong's troops from the Guangxi Army wanted to go to rescue, but were stared at by the 19th Red Division; Li Juebu of the Hunan Army wanted to rescue, but was stopped by Li Jiansheng. The special agent regiment, teaching regiment, sniper battalion, and the Guards Division temporarily formed by the guard regiment were blocked in place and did not dare to use force easily. In this way, Li Jiansheng's three main divisions were able to attack easily and without any worries. After an hour's attack, the entire Hunan 63rd Division was wiped out. Of the more than 8,300 people in the division, only 13 were arrested for minor injuries. Li Jiansheng used his later investigative knowledge to examine them and determined that 4 of them had not been stained with the blood of ordinary people. Except for the Red Army troops, all the remaining 9 people were shot.
