Chapter 203: Overstretched (Subscription Requested)

Two days later, Zheng Yi ordered a regiment and a battalion to stay at the old camp pass and continue to monitor the direction of Wan'an and Taihe, while the rest of the soldiers returned to Xingguo County with a large amount of booty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Knowing that the instructor returned from victory, more than 30,000 people poured out of the north of the city, eating pot pulp, and welcoming him.

The villagers, who had acquired fields, cattle, farming tools, and seeds through the agrarian reform movement, had already regarded their instructors as their own soldiers, and the revolutionary government of Xingguo County, which had been established for half a month, had finally played its due role, and the work of political propaganda, agricultural production, household registration, military training, and infrastructure construction had gradually been put on the right track.

At the strong request of the revolutionary government and local party organizations in Xingguo County, the instructor quickly convened a party committee and selected 45 grassroots backbone cadres who had returned from injury to be transferred to the local party committee and government to serve as leaders of the local security departments.

After receiving a large amount of aid funds, the revolutionary government of Xingguo County quickly set up a lumber mill, a brick and tile factory, a farm tool factory, a textile factory, and other publicly-owned enterprises, and built a farmers' market on the vacant land near the wharf in the south of the city.

The instructor division also sent a company of veterans and political cadres to help the county government train 1,200 Red Guards, and generously sent the captured 800 Mosin Nagant rifles, 300 Hanyang rifles, six Browning light machine guns, and 120 domestic imitation shell guns to the Xingguo County Government to equip the 1,200-strong Red Guards to defend the nascent revolutionary regime.

Zheng Yi's division also moved out of the county government compound with the best conditions in the city, and moved into the Dasheng Temple across the river in the south of the city, purchased 16 wooden boats from the local people, and built a pontoon bridge over the river to facilitate passage.

After a busy week, the various departments of the instructors entered a relatively relaxed period of recuperation, and the Kuomintang troops entrenched in Ganzhou, Wan'an, and Ji'an never dared to launch an attack on Xingguo and Ningdu.

According to the latest information, after Zhu Shigui, commander of the garrison division of the Yunnan army, led more than 700 remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Ji'an, he immediately added the 1,200-strong Ji'an security regiment to his garrison division, urgently recruited more than 1,500 local strong men to form a local security force with a settlement fee of 10 oceans per person, and exercised military control over the city of Ji'an.

Checkpoints have been set up at the major wharves, ferry crossings and land transportation arteries within 10 kilometers of Ji'an, and strict checkpoints are carried out on ships, caravans and personnel.

The 1st Independent Brigade of the Yunnan Army was still entrenched in Wan'an County, and every day it sent small units of elite troops to carry out reconnaissance and vigilance in all directions, and did not relax the slightest because of the withdrawal of the instructors.

After discussing with Li Zhao, Wang Huchen, and others, Zheng Yi ordered the special service company and the police communication company of each regiment to stop harassing the enemy in Ganzhou and Wan'an, and all units of the division seized the time to make adjustments, replenish troops, sum up experience, and look for gaps.

After three months of intense training, Duan Xuan's third regiment finally officially formed an army after strict assessment by the division headquarters, and went to Ningdu to take over the city defense under the leadership of political commissar Li Zhao.

Chen Minxian's Fourth Regiment was replenished and now had more than 1,700 recruits of Xing nationality, and the regiment handed over the defense of Ningdu to the Third Regiment led by Duan Xuan, and immediately returned to the Donghuashan base area in the north to start a six-month military basic training.

The reconstituted teaching group quickly set up a framework.

The first company of guards, composed of the winners of the division's military pentathlon competition, was assigned to the teaching regiment, and more than 20 platoon commanders of grassroots companies who had made meritorious contributions in combat and more than 200 wounded who were still recuperating from their wounds were included in the teaching regiment.

Under the leadership of regiment commander and political commissar Dong Zongzhuo and more than 200 officers at all levels, five new battalions were formed from Ningdu and 800 recruits of Xing nationality and headed for the Chenggang base in the reckless mountains to the north for a six-month basic military training.

As a result, the strength of the instructors increased to five regiments and three battalions, totaling more than 8,500 officers and men, but within half a year, only Li Lianshan's 1st Regiment, Zhao Jingting's 2nd Regiment, and Duan Xuan's 3rd Regiment stationed in Ningdu were able to pull into the battlefield, as well as the divisional guard battalion and the newly formed engineer battalion.

The instructor's combat strength barely reached 5,000, and among these 5,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 were newly added recruits who had never been on the battlefield.

Therefore, all regiments and battalions have been taking advantage of the rare time to recuperate day and night for military training, and the second batch of 500 grassroots officers and men who have taken the oath to join the party have become the military backbone of the large-scale military training, and the daily consumption of grain and meat has also increased exponentially.

Fortunately, a large amount of materials were captured in the two battles of attacking Ningdu and threatening Taihe, which could still meet the supply of 8,500 soldiers of the division for half a year.

However, the stocks of weapons and equipment have been depleted.

In order to lighten the logistical burden and facilitate the replenishment of ammunition, the instructors left only 7.92 caliber rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and 6.5 caliber Japanese 38 rifles, and all the large number of Russian-made rifles and obsolete Hanyang rifles captured were sent to the growing Red Guards in Xingguo and Ningdu counties, with the result that more than 800 recruits in the reorganized training regiment were still unarmed.

However, all the rifles in the inventory have been sent, and Zheng Yi cannot find a place for the Red Guards to come back, so he can only try to make up for the shortage as soon as possible.

After repeated consideration, Zheng Yi quietly called the chief of staff, Wang Huchen, to discuss together.

After listening to Zheng Yi's statement, Wang Huchen thought about it for a long time and felt deeply embarrassed: "Whether it is to fight Ganzhou or Wan'an, at least the main regiments will not be able to dispatch for half a month. ā€

"The Shangguan Yong task force sent to Fujian Province has just established an intelligence station in Putian, and it will be fast to open the trade route from Putian to eastern Gandong within two months, I think it's better to wait."

"After the three main regiments complete the special training for half a month, we will decide whether to attack Ganzhou or Wan'an."

Zheng Yi had a headache for a while: "Now not only is there a lack of weapons and equipment, but the more than two million rounds of ammunition that have been saved are constantly consume......d in high-intensity training."

"When the special training for half a month is over, I'm afraid that each regiment will only have three bases of ammunition left, only more than 50 mortar shells left, and the stock of medicines will be almost exhausted, so it won't work if you don't replenish it as soon as possible!"

"Wait patiently for half a month, after half a month, I will lead the troops out with you to rob, nothing will come faster than robbery." Wang Huchen has a rare sense of humor.

Zheng Yi couldn't help laughing, and ordered Pan Yan, who was happy on the side, to call the deputy chief of staff, take out the battlefield record of the three changes from the drawer and hand it to Wang Huchen: "This is what I spent a week writing down, you can help me take a look, and if there is a political mistake, point it out immediately." ā€

Wang Huchen was quite puzzled, took the manuscript of more than 8,000 words and read it carefully, and was soon attracted by the wonderful content of the ambush battles against Xingguo, Ningdu and Yaotou Ferry, and he did not notice that the new deputy chief of staff Zhang Yao came to sit down beside him.
