Rebirth of the Anti-Japanese Heroes

After defeating the enemy's attack, Li Jiansheng heaved a sigh of relief.In his impression, the Central Soviet Area is currently undergoing a rest.The fourth large-scale anti-encirclement and suppression operation in the Central Soviet Area in history took place next year, that is, between February and March 1933. Within a short period of time, there are only two possibilities: one is that the third encirclement and counter-encirclement campaign will take place immediately this year; Make full preparations for the third encirclement and suppression and counter-encirclement and suppression military operations.

This answer is actually easy to analyze, and you can know it by referring to the anti-encirclement and suppression operations in the Central Soviet Area.The first time, the second time, and the third time in the Central Soviet Area were one after another, and the time interval in between was very short; but between the third time and the fourth time, between the fourth time and the fifth time, the time The interval is longer.The longest time was nearly a year!

Right now, as far as I am concerned, I just don't know what attitude the enemy will take: should we proceed immediately?Or rest and prepare for a period of time before proceeding?

But no matter which way it is, for Li Jiansheng right now, he still has to step up the training of the army and enrich the economy of the base area!Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng's thoughts became active.Just as he was thinking, Huang Su and others came in again, Li Jiansheng smiled and nodded to Huang Su.Huang Su was obviously also very excited, after all such a big battle is rare.As soon as the two met, a general opinion was formed: step up the army!

In the afternoon, the legion party committee meeting was held.Everyone has roughly reached the following opinions:

First, intensify the training of the troops and integrate the experience and lessons of the two victories;

Second, step up expansion.Because of two consecutive victories, the sentiment of the people in the base area was high, and the land reform was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the people in the base area strongly supported the Red Army. Every day, people asked to sign up for the Red Army. We can use this advantage to speed up the expansion of enrollment;

Third, the treatment of prisoners, in principle, agrees with the proposal of Li Jiansheng, the head of the army, that more than 5800 people captured in the first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the remaining 5000 people after the main forces supplemented the battle losses, and this time around A total of 2600 prisoners were captured, all of whom were incorporated into active-duty troops.

Fourth, before the expansion of the army, the sniper company directly under the legion selected good marksmanship in advance, and upgraded the sniper company to a sniper battalion; Corps; the supply battalion recruited part of the supply troops and strengthened the supply regiment; the artillery among the captives was selected by the artillery regiment directly under the regiment, and the artillery battalion was upgraded to an artillery brigade directly under the regiment, with Liu Fugui as the brigade commander and two artillery regiments under its jurisdiction; Those who use heavy machine guns will all belong to the machine gun regiment directly under the Jian Corps, and some light machine gunners will be selected to join the Jian Machine Gun Regiment, and the machine gun regiment will be upgraded to a machine gun brigade.Liu Limin was promoted to brigade commander.It governs a two-battalion heavy machine gun regiment and two two-battalion light machine gun regiments.

[-]. Two new divisions were added to the Red Eighteenth Army, namely the Red Seventh Division and the Red Eighth Division.

The Red Third Regiment was drawn from the First Red Division and renamed the Red Nineteenth Regiment, and the Red Sixth Regiment was drawn from the Second Red Division and renamed the Red Twenty Regiment. Together they formed the backbone regiment of the Seventh Red Division. Division political commissar.Lu Tongfan was a deputy division commander of the former Red Army Corps. After being transferred, he served as the deputy division commander of the Red First Division. This time he was promoted to the division commander of the new Red Seventh Division.The Red Ninth Regiment was drawn from the Third Red Division and renamed the Red 22 Regiment, and the Red Twelve Regiment was drawn from the Fourth Red Division and renamed the Red 23 Regiment. Together they formed the backbone regiment of the Red Eighth Division. Yang Huwei served as the teacher and He Jingsheng served as the political commissar of the division.

All the captives totaled 7600. Excluding the above-mentioned special recruits, there were more than 1100 people, and there were more than 6500 people left.Among them, all the captives after the first anti-encirclement campaign have been formed into 16 battalions. These formations are still preserved, and recruits are added, and 2 new battalions are formed, a total of 18 battalions. According to the formation of three battalions per regiment, a total of Organized into 6 standard regiments, and about 200 people remained.The six regiments were renamed the Red Third Regiment, the Red Sixth Regiment, the Red Ninth Regiment, the Red Twelve Regiment, the Red 21 Regiment, and the Red 24 Regiment, and they belonged to the Jianhong First Division, the Red Second Division, the Red Third Division, the Red Fourth Division, Red Seventh Division and Red Eighth Division.As for the remaining about 200 people, they were all incorporated into the units directly under the divisions of other divisions, and 200 people were transferred from other divisions to reorganize into four professional platoons of 4 people. The directly subordinate professional troops of the two divisions initially formed the skeleton of the two divisions' staff, secret agents, instructors, guards, sniper, reconnaissance, communications, cooking and other troops; as for the source of troops, it was supplemented by new recruits and future combat prisoners.

[-]. Two consecutive anti-encirclement and suppression victories, annihilating a total of about five enemy divisions, and captured a lot.In addition to setting up various units directly under the Legion Headquarters, it has been able to fully arm artillery to regiments, heavy machine guns to battalions, and light machine guns to squads. Therefore, all ministries are required to strengthen their weaponry and teach them how to use weapons.Fortunately, most of the new recruits were soldiers from the local warlords and the Central Army of the original enemy.Therefore, the chief officers at all levels are all on the front line, do a good job as soldiers, and ensure that the combat power is maximized before the possible third anti-encirclement campaign!

After the meeting was over, the heads of the divisions and directly subordinate units immediately rushed to their respective units. The reorganization of the army, the training of the training, the work of the work, the vigorous training and the reorganization of the army began again.Three days later, the expansion of the various ministries was completed.So far, Li Jiansheng's Red Eighteenth Army has 8 divisions under its jurisdiction, as well as artillery brigades, machine gun brigades, reinforced engineering regiments, reinforced logistics regiments, secret service regiments, teaching regiments, guard battalions, sniper battalions, reconnaissance battalions, and communication companies. , cooking squads, field hospitals, weapons research institutes, and clothing factories, whether it is weapons or soldiers, are unprecedentedly powerful.

While strengthening the organizational structure of the army, military training includes military and political training, while recruiting and expanding red.The organizational system is still easy to manage, with the assistance of professional institutions at all levels of the legion, it will soon be on the right track; military training is not slow, because it is handled by the training office and the teaching regiment, and each new unit is organized into each division separately , with the assistance of the forces of various divisions, so all aspects of work quickly entered the right track.There is no need to worry about recruiting and expanding red, because with the support of various military depots, training offices, and local governments, as soon as a dozen red flags were expanded, a total of more than 2200 new recruits were recruited in the entire base area in just one week, including those in the base area. Progressive youth and youth in surrounding areas affected by the base area.After asking Li Jiansheng for instructions, the staff office and training office set up two new regiments. The two deputy heads of the teaching regiment, Gao Dashan and Li Zheng, served as the heads of the two recruit regiments respectively. Xiong Jie, a veteran political worker, served as the political commissar of the two recruit regiments, mainly focusing on the training of these recruits.
