Rebirth of the Anti-Japanese Heroes

The most difficult thing right now is political training.Li Jiansheng, who came from a later generation, knew the importance of political work very well, so he strengthened his work in this area from the very beginning.Not only did he order political workers at all levels to do their work carefully and in place, but he continued to give lessons to the recruits himself.In fact, for these captive soldiers, he is not too worried about their military quality, but this ideological work cannot be relaxed.As a result, he personally compiled the "Red Eighteenth Army Training Outline", in addition to systematically explaining military training, armaments, etc., he also wrote a large chapter on the practices and detailed rules of political and ideological work.Fortunately, the veterans who have been following Li Jiansheng now have a good set of routines; those party members who came to the army from the local area used to have a set of ideological work, and later absorbed a lot of experience from Li Jiansheng, so it is no longer comparable to what it used to be. ; As for the more than 300 old Red Army soldiers from the Central Soviet Area, most of them are both military and political experts.With these three aspects working together, Li Jiansheng's troops became more and more unified.

After writing the "Outline", Li Jiansheng changed his mind a little, and made a slight change to a military camp song "We Serve as Soldiers" in later generations, and made it a new song "created" by himself, and distributed it to the troops:

There is no difference between us soldiers, just because we all wear plain military uniforms.

What's the difference between us soldiers, since we left our hometown, it's hard to see our parents.

It's the same thing if you say it's different, they're all in their youth, they're all passionate.

It's the same even if it's different, the same footprints are left for mountains and rivers.

Our soldiers are different, with our heads resting on the cold moon of the mountains, and our bodies covered in snow, rain and wind.

Those of us who are soldiers are different. For the sake of the peace of the people, we hold our guns tightly.

It’s the same thing if you say it’s different, they’re all yearning for glory, and they’re all winning glory.

It's the same even if it's different, the same demeanor is flying on the flag of the Red Army.

That's what we soldiers are like.

……

In just a few days, all the troops sang this new song composed by the regimental commander everywhere. As for the original "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" and "Return from Target Shooting", they were also sung every day.

That's all, Li Jiansheng specially proposed to hold a ceremony for commending the whole army in Yizhang.The location is in Dapingli outside Yizhang County.In addition to continuing to promote the skill competition of "big training and big production", it is more important to commend a group of advanced people.As the Red 5 Regiment, which made the most contribution and suffered the most battle damage in the second anti-encirclement campaign, it has already been fully equipped this time, with a total of more than 400 new recruits.Chief of Staff Wang Hanying presided over the meeting, and Legion Political Commissar Huang Suxian announced the commendation decision.In addition to some meritorious fighters, such as You Juncai who killed the enemy's leader, and the Red Fifth Division who fought in the front and then fought, etc., the most striking thing is that the Red Fifth Regiment was awarded the "Grand Priest" in addition to the collective special merit. Baishidu Heroes" title.Li Jiansheng, head of the legion, personally conferred the flag of the "Baishidu Heroes Regiment" to the Red Fifth Regiment.

Li Jiansheng just remembered that the troops of later generations did this.He, who studies history, knows that the predecessors of many troops in later generations have glorious histories, such as the "Tashan Heroes Regiment".Therefore, he intends to do the same this time.Unexpectedly, as soon as this proposal was put forward, it was supported by the heads of the legion.However, even he, the instigator, did not expect that the effect would be so good.For example, after this meeting, all divisions and regiments immediately launched unprecedented troop training activities, and everyone held back their energy. Next time, they must get such a flag for their troops, and the commander of the regiment will also be required to present the flag. .As for Li Bao, the head of the Red 5th Regiment, an old Red Army member from the Central Soviet Area, when he saw the viciousness of the other troops, he burst into laughter and at the same time stepped up the training of the Red 5th Regiment. The slogan was still a sentence that Li Jiansheng said accidentally. The words: "Always one step ahead of others", the effect is equally astonishing!

Once this aspect was on the right track, Li Jiansheng's main point of view shifted, and he concentrated his efforts to assist Xu Zhengfang in handling logistics, supplies and equipment.Right now, Xu Zhengfang is already a member of the Party Committee of the Legion, and has been promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff of the Legion, in charge of the logistics department, equipment department, supply regiment, cooking squad, field hospital, clothing factory, etc.Li Jiansheng came to him and mainly dealt with the following matters:

First, the clothing factory has stepped up production of equipment to ensure that each soldier has more than two sets of uniforms, including a gray cloth uniform and a camouflage uniform, and each soldier has more than three pairs of shoes.Each soldier must have a quilt.Those with insufficient processing capacity can and are encouraged to use the former army + residents method to purchase pre-produced military uniforms, shoes and quilts from the homes of residents in the base area in the name of customization.When five divisions of the enemy are wiped out, some of the captured soldiers will have uniforms and military shoes. As for the military leather shoes taken from the dead soldiers of the enemy, they will be distributed to the existing troops according to their size.

Second, field hospitals stepped up preparations for medicines and enrichment of medical personnel.In addition to the pharmacies in the counties guaranteeing residents' medicines through normal channels, Li Jiansheng asked to secretly purchase large quantities of medicines from other places through the existing channels and in the form of currency.

Third, nowadays, the residents in the base area, as well as the army, have the habit of raising pigs, and a large amount of pork is on the market.Li Jiansheng asked Xu Zhengfang to make use of the way ordinary people in the south cook smoked meat, cured meat and wind-blown meat, and store meat in a planned way.Moreover, as far as he knows, Yao and Zhuang also have secret methods for making meat, and they can ask relevant old people to help them make it.It is required that this meat can be used by the whole team for more than half a year.

Fourth, buy horses and mules through channels as much as possible, so that the army's logistics regiments and field hospitals can be turned into mules, or some of them can be turned into mules.

Fifth, the engineering units of the legions, divisions, and regiments, in addition to being equipped with the necessary equipment—such as the engineering shovel “invented” by themselves, etc., must be equipped to the people—they must also be equipped with various bridges and tunnels. , The equipment for opening mountain roads must also be partially turned into mules and horses.It is necessary to strengthen the training of engineering troops to clear roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering rivers!

It can be said that every time Li Jiansheng mentioned one, Xu Zhengfang wrote one full of doubts.Because there are many things that he doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to ask more questions, so he just decides to execute them immediately.He always felt that this young legion commander was a mystery, and there was always a reason why he asked to do this.What he didn't know was that what Li Jiansheng did was essentially making full material preparations for the possible Long March in the future!And it is targeted preparation!

Once these tasks were assigned, Li Jiansheng plunged into it and personally taught the engineers three lessons, the first of which was how to build a pontoon bridge.
