The scope of participants in this battle: all the troops directly under the independent column, field army, garrison troops, militia, party members, cadres, and employees of various agencies and enterprises in the area controlled by our independent column are all participants.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Thunder battle until victory!Our army has set up two headquarters of 'Front Operations' and 'Rear Support'.

Leading members of the Rear Support Command: Zhong Shoufu, Jin Zhiyuan, Chen Xinzhong, Huang Yuqing, Xiao Fei, Lin Qinghua; Zhong Shoufu, the first head of the Rear Support Command.

Leading members of the front combat command: Wu Aihua, Xiang y, Chen y, Su Yu, Xia Zhongqing, Cheng Liang, Fu Lin, Zhang Guanglu; the first chief of the front combat command is Wu Aihua, the second chief is Xiang y, and the third chief is Chen y.

Our army's forward operations are divided into four combat groups:

The first combat group: Comrade Qi Yeguo is the first head of the group, and the brigade and above commanders of the participating troops are the group command members.It has jurisdiction over the 5th Marine Division, Teaching Brigade, Armored Brigade, 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade, 2nd Air Defense Brigade, and Longyan Garrison Brigade with a total of 7 people.The combat point of this group is to rely on the permanent fortification group of Boping Ridge to carry out sniping against the enemy, and not let the enemy cross the Boping Ridge one step!

For the second combat group, Comrade Zhuang Xizhen will be the first head of the group, and the commanders above the brigades of the participating troops will be the members of the group command.Jurisdiction over the 2nd Marine Division, the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Light Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Air Defense Brigade, the Light Infantry Regiment, and the Yongan Garrison Brigade with a total of 5 people.The combat focus of this group is to guard and counterattack to ensure the safety of the northeast of our base area. Note that this combat group can abandon Yong'an, Qingliu, Ninghua and other counties if necessary.

For the third combat group, Comrade Xia Zhongqing was the first head of the group, and the brigade and above commanders of the participating troops were the members of the group command.It has jurisdiction over the Meizhou Garrison Brigade, Jiexi Garrison Brigade, and Chaoshan Garrison Brigade, a total of 16 garrison regiments with nearly 5 people.The main point of this group's operations is to defend and counterattack, to guard against the Guangdong army's attack, to ensure the safety of the southwest of our base, and to cooperate with the fourth group when necessary.

第四作战集群，由粟裕同志任集群第一首长，各参战部队旅以上长官为集团指挥成员。辖陆战第1师、陆战第3师、陆战第4师、重炮旅1团、防空旅1团、闪电特战大队、箭鱼突击队、司令部警卫团、瑞金警备旅，总人数刚好10万人。本集群的作战要点是攻击前进！

In this battle, the 1st Regiment of the Air Force of the Independent Column was responsible for battlefield support in the direction of Longyan and Yongan; the 2nd Regiment of the Air Force left a fighter brigade to guard the east of Guangdong, and the rest of the forces were under the command of the 1th Combat Group to participate in the battle in the direction of Jiangxi. "

"Papa..." As soon as Chen y finished speaking, the teachers and brigade commanders applauded violently!Because, in this battle plan, there is a very important idea, that is to give the national army a thunderous blow, and take the opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi and Fujian.Most of the division commanders and directors of the headquarters participated in the discussion of these ideas before. It can be said that this is a product of the wisdom and will of the commanders and fighters of the entire army.

The independent column has no combat missions for almost 8 months, and it is training troops every day. It is training before the expansion of the army, and it is also training after the expansion. According to some squad leaders and soldiers, one person can already deal with three people in the national army. , In the later period, the soldiers had great opinions, saying why the chief didn't take us out to fight a battle.

Now, the combat mission is finally issued, and those little bastards under his command are about to howl with excitement again.

"The third item of the meeting, please ask the independent column political commissar Xiang y to give the campaign instructions!" After the applause subsided, Xia Zhongqing said immediately.

"Comrades! I think eight words are most appropriate to describe this battle. Which eight words are 'the task is arduous and the future is bright'. The task is arduous. Three times the number of people, the combat task is very difficult; the bright future means that after this battle, the national army will no longer be able to attack our base areas, and Chiang Kai-shek will no longer be able to adhere to the wrong policy of fighting against the outside world first, that is to say, After this battle, the large-scale civil war is very likely to end!

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this campaign and finally realize the operational intentions of the column party committee and headquarters, I would like to make three requests to everyone:

First, all participating troops and personnel, regardless of the front and rear, must focus on one goal, that is, everything is for the front, and everything is for victory!The comrades in the front must not be afraid of sacrifice and fight the enemy bravely, and the comrades in the rear must do all kinds of security work, especially the comrades in the transportation department and the health department. If you make a small mistake, it will cause more damage to the comrades in the front. sacrifice.

Second, commanders at all levels must keep in mind the "scientific decision-making" that the commanders usually say, they must dare to fight, be good at fighting, and formulate practical battle plans based on changes in the battle and the actual situation on the battlefield, so as to achieve success at the lowest cost. Biggest win!

Third, Party committees, cadres at all levels, and all party members in the army, especially the political commissars, instructors, and instructors of the army must give full play to their role as models and vanguards.In wartime, we must charge forward; in peacetime, we must do a good job in the ideological work of cadres and soldiers.It is necessary to provide strong organizational and ideological guarantees for the victory of the campaign. "

"For the fourth item of the meeting, Comrade Wu Aihua, commander of the independent column, please give instructions." Xia Zhongqing controlled the rhythm of the meeting.

"Comrades, the independent column has formed many fine traditions or habits since its foundation in Rongshuping. I won't say much about the others, but I will just talk about these traditions and habits.

First, we are an independent column and never do business at a loss. This is the case in wars, production, and everything else.The evaluation of the military exploits of the independent column is based on cost.Everyone must not forget.Some people say, Wu Aihua, you look like a businessman.In this regard, I feel very relieved, I just want to care about more than businessmen.Because if a businessman can't settle the account, he will lose a little money at most; but if the commander of the army can't settle the account, he will lose the life of the soldier!Whoever doesn't take a soldier's life seriously, I'll take his official hat seriously!When the battlefield environment allows better means of destroying the enemy, we cannot allow soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices.Of course, what I say is not against sacrifice, but depends on whether the sacrifice is worthwhile or not; it depends on whether the commander considers the relationship between victory and sacrifice in the specific command behavior.

Second, independent column operations pay attention to mobility and flexibility.The first and second combat clusters, although the strategic point requires defense and puts the emphasis on defense, there should be necessary counterattacks.However, the stakes of this campaign are high, and counterattacks need to be matched with other strategic clusters throughout the campaign.In the early stage of the battle, the task of the first and second groups is to stick the enemy, not to let the enemy escape easily, let alone to allow the enemy to easily attack the base area.When the fourth group has made a major breakthrough, and the enemy troops on the eastern front are unstable, showing signs of wavering and retreating, they must attack decisively, intersperse, and dare to fight.This time, the national army has concentrated 80 troops, and if our army does not leave 20 prisoners, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Third, there are some new elements in this operation. It is estimated that the national army will dispatch planes to bomb our cities and forward positions, and our army also has anti-aircraft, air force and tank units. The combination of infantry and artillery, and the combination of infantry combat, but that was just a drill, and this time it was actual combat.To achieve the effect of drills in actual combat, it depends on commanders at all levels using their brains more.Battles and battles are not only contests of courage and artillery, but also contests of wisdom.

Finally, after the meeting, the commanders of each unit should immediately go to the staff to receive the combat tasks of the unit, and must arrive at the combat position on time as required! "

Wu Aihua gave an order, and the war machine of the independent column started to run at high speed.The busiest ones are the logistics department and the equipment department. Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first.Before the combat meeting was held, the column requested the supply managers of each unit to accompany them. During the meeting of the column, each unit also obtained relevant supply indicators, including varieties, specifications, quantities, and pick-up locations.

When the independent column entered the battle point, the central government in northern Shaanxi was also paying close attention to the situation in the southeast.

Due to Wu Aihua's birth, history has undergone tremendous changes.When the Fourth Red Army joined forces with the First Red Army, the number of the First Army was 5000 more or less than in history, and the independent detachment, as a strong force of the Red Army that clearly supported Zhu, Mao and the Central Committee, exerted a powerful influence on Zhang Guotao. Pulling effect.Therefore, Zhang Guotao did not dare to set up another central government as in history, nor did he forcefully lead his troops to attack Ya'an in western Sichuan.

The Red Front Army and Fourth Front Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi had a total strength of 8 troops, which was much stronger than that of the same period in history.

In August 1935, when the independent detachment reported their expansion plan, looking at the size of the 8-strong Red Army, as well as the deployment of the Navy, Air Force, Armored Forces, Air Defense Forces, and Heavy Artillery, Zhang Guotao himself was even more cautious. What, I don't even have a 25mm mountain gun under my command, and a marine regiment in the independent detachment (independent column) is equipped with 75 12mm howitzers and 105 18mm mountain guns.

When the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, the independent column sent a proposal telegram to the central government after research: "Save strength, wait for opportunities; comprehensive defense, limited counterattack!" This proposal telegram, all cadres above the division level of the independent column sign.

At a meeting of cadres at a certain level in the central government, after the central government read out the reorganization plan and suggestion telegram of the independent column to the participating cadres, some Red Army cadres were so excited that they cried on the spot, "Red Army, Red Army, finally have a team that is not inferior to the Kuomintang. Strength!"

At that time, many people suggested that the central government should order the independent column to lead the entire army to northern Shaanxi to join the Central Red Army, so as to completely break the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Northeast Army and Northwest Army.

However, this proposal was opposed by all members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
