Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Sure enough, what followed was consistent with the historical trajectory Li Jiansheng remembered: after the troops rested for two days in Guitang, they immediately returned to Yizhang, reoccupied Yizhang, and established the Soviet government on February 6, with Chen Youkui as chairman. The main force subsequently left Yizhang.

Zhang went north to occupy Chen County, and then divided his troops to assist the peasant army in Zixing, Yongxing, Leiyang and other counties to capture the county seats and establish Soviet governments in these counties.

Before the troops were launched, they also took some rest in Yizhang.

The first is the treatment of prisoners. According to Mr. Zhu’s intention, in addition to the political propaganda carried out by the workers’ and peasants’ revolutionary army military and political personnel to expose the crimes of enemy officers in deducting military pay and abusing soldiers, and mobilizing prisoners to report enemy officers lurking in prisoner camps,

And declare that our party, I

Afterwards, Mr. Zhu addressed all the prisoners in the division and announced: Those who wish to join the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army will be treated equally without discrimination. Those who request to go home will be given necessary travel expenses and dismissed. In this way, and

A group of prisoners joined the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army.

The next step is to establish the Third Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. According to the decision of the Military and Political Joint Conference on February 1, on February 7, the 3rd Independent Regiment of the First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, referred to as the Yizhang Independent Regiment, was expanded to the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.

The Third Division of the Revolutionary Army. Division Commander Hu Shaohai, Deputy Division Commander Chen Dongri, and Party Representative Gong Chu stayed in Yizhang to defend the victory. The Guitang Independent Battalion and the captured Xu Kexiang soldiers were all incorporated into Hu Shaohai's Third Division.

The First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army also conducted certain training. Because the main grassroots cadres of the companies and platoons of several combat battalions were attrited, injured or sacrificed, certain adjustments were made. Among them, Captain Changsu of the Second Company of the First Battalion was transferred to the commander of the First Company.

Xiong Fulin, the commander of the third company, was transferred to the commander of the second company; Xu Haonian, the former deputy commander of the first company, was promoted to the commander of the third company; Li Jiansheng was promoted to the deputy commander of the second company because of his bravery and outstanding military exploits.

Ranked after Liu Zhili, deputy commander of the second company. Miao Gui was promoted to platoon leader of the third platoon, Yang Ning was the first deputy platoon leader of the third platoon, and Chen Dao was promoted to the second deputy platoon leader of the third platoon. There are also many other squad platoon leaders from the original ministries.

There were promotions; most veterans were promoted to squad leader or deputy squad leader. A group of newly joined young people and improved prisoners were added. After the army was reorganized, it was commanded by Zhu, Chen, and Wang and developed northward. Li Jiansheng followed the army.

During this period, farmers in most areas of Anren, Chaling, Guidong, Rucheng, Linwu, Jiahe, Guiyang, Changning, and Hengyang counties also held uprisings. The rebels occupied more than ten counties in southern Hunan and mobilized workers and peasants extensively.

the masses and establish a revolutionary government.

History is still moving forward on its established track.

In early March, when Mao Zedong led the 1st Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to station in Zhongcun, Lingxian County, he learned that the Nanchang Uprising Army and the Southern Hunan Uprising Army led by Zhu, Chen, and Wang Erzhuo were operating in southern Hunan, and he immediately decided to divide his troops into two groups to greet them.

Zhu and Chen went up the mountain: He, He Tingying, and Zhang Ziqing led the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army along the way.

, starting from Lushi in Ninggang, Jiangxi, and wedged between Guidong and Rucheng in southern Hunan; the other route, the 2nd regiment led by He Changgong, Yuan Wencai, and Wang Zuo, started from Dajing, Jinggangshan, and headed towards Zixing and Chenzhou. Mao

The great man also sent his brother Mao Zetan to Chenzhou with a special agent company to get in touch with the troops led by Zhu and Chen.

In mid-March, the Shonan Special Committee held the Shonan Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Congress in Taipinglou, Yongxing County, and established the Shonan Soviet Government. These peasant and army units were also organized separately: Leiyang Peasant Army was organized into the 4th Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army

Division; Chen County was organized into the 7th Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army; the peasant armies in Yongxing and Zixing counties were organized into two independent regiments of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. Including Hu Shaohai's 3rd Division, the newly formed Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army totaled more than 8,000 people.

.

In late March, seven divisions of the Kuomintang army counterattacked into the southern Hunan area. In order to preserve the revolutionary forces and avoid a decisive battle with the enemy under unfavorable conditions, Mr. Zhu made a decisive decision to withdraw from southern Hunan and go to Jinggangshan.

On March 29, Mr. Zhu led the troops to complete preparations for the transfer. With the help of the secret agents led by Mao Zetan, the main force of the 1st Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by Mr. Zhu and Wang Erzhuo arrived at Miandu in Lingxian County via Anren and Chaling.

.Li Jiansheng followed the main force.

Mr. Chen led the main force of the Southern Hunan Special Committee, the county party committees and some of the first division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to arrive in Zixing County on April 8. Together with the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by He Changgong, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo who came down from Jinggang Mountains

The 2nd regiment meets up.

Mao Weiren and others led the 1st Regiment to contain the enemy forces in Rucheng, Guidong, and cover the movement of the Southern Hunan rebels. They arrived at Longxi Cave in Zixing County in mid-April and joined the Yizhang Independent Battalion led by later founding father General Xiao.

meet.

The Yizhang Independent Battalion also became the first Xiangnan uprising army to join forces led by Mao Zedong himself. At the same time, Mr. Chen led the main force of the 1st Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army and the 2nd Regiment led by He Changgong, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo.

They arrived at Miandu in Lingxian County together and met up with the main force led by Mr. Zhu. Then, Zhu and Chen led the troops directly under them from Miandu Jingmu Village to Ningganglong City at the foot of Jinggang Mountain.

In late April, Mao Zedong led his troops back to Longshi and immediately went to Longjiang Academy to see Mr. Zhu.

Everyone in later generations knows what Zhu and Mao's successful rendezvous meant to the Republic. Li Jiansheng, who studies history, is also particularly yearning for it. Fortunately, as a member of the First Battalion, he was lucky enough to see this scene: the two men between Mao Mao and Boss Zhu.

Two big hands, tightly held together!

Although the two great men had never met, they had long cherished each other. They called each other affectionately and shook hands tightly!

Li Jiansheng did not cheer loudly like the people around him. He just felt that his nose was a little sore, and the tears flowed down involuntarily. In fact, among so many people present, he was the only one who truly knew the relationship between Mao Mao and Boss Zhu.

What this historic handshake will mean to the Party and the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army! What it will mean to the whole of China! In fact, from this day on, the names of Mao and Zhu have been closely linked!

Who dares to believe it? I actually saw this scene? Oh, that’s true! ——Li Jiansheng was very excited when he saw those two pairs of big hands holding each other, but more importantly, he couldn’t believe it. He was just confused.

It lasted for many days. Many people around him thought he was sick. Only he knew that he was excited!

After the two armies joined forces, they were jointly organized into the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. Mr. Zhu was appointed as the commander, Mao Weiren was appointed as the party representative and secretary of the Military Commission, Wang Erzhuo was appointed as the chief of staff, and Mr. Chen was appointed as the director of the Political Department. Mr. Zhu's headquarters was organized as the No. 4 Army.

The 10th Division was organized into the 11th Division by Mao Zedong, and the peasant armies from various counties in southern Hunan were organized into two divisions. Mr. Zhu was also the commander of the 10th Division, and Wan Xi was the party representative; Mao Zedong was also the 11th Division.

Division commander, He Tingying was appointed as the party representative. The two divisions were governed by 5 regiments: the 10th Division was governed by the 28th Regiment and the 29th Regiment; the 11th Division was governed by the 31st Regiment, the 32nd Regiment, and the 33rd Regiment. Soon, the 13th Division of the Red Army was established, and Mr. Chen was appointed as the division commander.

, under the jurisdiction of the 34th Regiment, 35th Regiment, and 36th Regiment. Soon, the division system was abolished and organized into 6 regiments. The 6 regiments were divided into two directions and acted separately!
