Chapter 269: Good News Comes (Second Update)
The heavy rain for several days had little impact on the Jinggangshan base area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Less than a month after the completion of the project, there were no flash floods or landslides at the three major passes of Eling, Lipi, and Huangyangjie, and the fortifications built with granite stone strips and blue bricks had perfect drainage facilities, and the command post and anti-artillery bunkers up to four meters deep were rationally laid out and cleverly designed.
The firepower points on the solid permanent fortifications complement each other and are scattered.
After inspecting the fortifications of the Huangyangjie Pass, the members of the Committee of the Former Enemy gave high praise to the instructors, engineer battalions, and the troops left behind who undertook the task of building the three major passes.
"Lao Mao, the scenery is so good, let's write a poem."
Commander Zhu's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and Commissar Mao, who had just lit a cigarette, made a joke and cleverly excused himself, making everyone laugh, and the hearty laughter spread far away in the mountains.
Three days ago, on 25 May, according to the instructions of the higher authorities, the two divisions of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which had been victoriously joined a month earlier, were officially renamed the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
Zhu Yujie served as the commander of the Fourth Army, Commissar Mao served as the political commissar of the Fourth Army, Wang Erzhuo, who had a steady personality and resourcefulness, was promoted to chief of staff of the army, and Comrade Chen Zhonghong, who had rich experience, served as director of the Political Department of the newly formed Fourth Army.
The First Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by Commissar Mao was renamed the 11th Red Division, with Commissar Mao concurrently serving as the division commander and former member Comrade He Tingying serving as the political commissar of the division.
The First Division of the Chinese Revolutionary Army led by Commander Zhu was renamed the 10th Division, with Comrade Wan Xixian, a former member of the CPC Committee, serving as the political commissar of the division, and under the jurisdiction of the 28th, 29th, and 30th Regiments.
Due to the serious attrition of personnel in successive battles, the 10th Division currently has only two main regiments of the 28th and 29th divisions, with less than 2,000 officers and men, one-third of whom are peasant troops who have returned one after another after the failure of the Shonan uprising, and the 30th Regiment has only one number left, and it is necessary to wait for the arrival of the two regiments assigned by the instructor before the 10th Division can be replenished.
It is a matter of great regret that, in accordance with the instructions of the Comintern, the members of the Central Committee have rushed to Moscow one after another to attend the convening of the Sixth Party Congress, and in addition to the continuous search and sabotage operations by the Kuomintang authorities in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and other places, the contact between the special commissioners sent to the Jinggangshan Base Area, the Hubei-Anhui Border Region, and the Hunan-Hubei Border Region has actually been cut off from the Central Committee.
The comrades of the Central Military Commission, who left Shanghai and rushed to Moscow, were unable to exercise unified leadership and reorganization of all the revolutionary armed forces because of their lack of understanding of the revolutionary armed forces throughout the country.
Therefore, the former committee of the Jinggangshan Base Area can only follow the instructions issued by the central commissioner and carry out reorganization in light of its own actual situation, and the teachers who are brave and good at fighting are still unknown.
Zheng Yi, the instructor and division commander, and Li Zhao, the political commissar, repeatedly put forward a request to the central commissioner to resolve the ownership of the troops as soon as possible, and on many occasions expressed their hope that they would be incorporated into the armed sequence of the Jinggangshan base area led by Commissar Mao.
However, it is doubly regrettable that the contact between the former committee of the base area and the central authorities has long been severed, and it is difficult for Member Mao and the former committee members of the base area to make a decision in the face of such a major issue.
In the past few days, Commissar Mao has been very troubled by this, and the three main regiments of the instructor, under the leadership of division commander Zheng Yi, occupied Ruijin again without bloodshed, and then left one regiment to garrison, and the other two regiments advanced to the east without stopping, and it took only one and a half days to defeat Tingzhou, an important town in western Fujian, and the situation on the border between Jiangxi and Fujian changed rapidly, and the area controlled by the revolutionary armed forces increased exponentially.
After the good news came, the soldiers and civilians in the Jinggangshan base area cheered and rejoiced, and the officers and men of the Red Fourth Army who had just completed the reorganization were deeply encouraged, but only the far-sighted and far-sighted member Mao felt the pressure and his worries were even heavier.
On the high post at the Huangyangjie Pass, Lin Yurong, Wang Liang and other battalion company commanders were still carefully observing in the fortification group under the high post, and Commander Zhu seemed to sense that Commissar Mao had something on his mind, smiled slightly, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What, are you still thinking about the expansion of the base area in southern Jiangnan?" ā
Commissar Mao threw the cigarette butt at his feet, gently stepped on the embers, looked at the mountains stretching in the distance, and replied softly: "That's right, the current situation is very favorable to us...... The four major military groups of the Kuomintang are still fighting ceaselessly against the warlords in the north, and the Hunan troops in the west of our base area have also withdrawn from eastern and southern Hunan one after another because of numerous internal contradictions. ā
"Since the Guangdong army in the north of Shaoguan was beaten by the instructor, there is no shadow, the Yunnan army in Jiangxi Province has retreated on all fronts, and it is unable to move south in a short time, and even a regiment of the Yunnan army stationed in Yongxin has not dared to act rashly in the city, and the pressure on the Jinggangshan base area has been greatly reduced, and it has been connected with Suichuan and Xingguo in the east."
"It's never been a good situation, shouldn't we take the initiative to do something?"
Zhu Juncheng agreed: "Yes! Now that the instructor has occupied Ruijin again and expanded his influence to Tingzhou, an important town on the border of Jiangxi and Fujian, we have time to consolidate the red regime in Xingguo and Ningdu counties, so that the red regime and the revolutionary forces will expand exponentially. ā
Commissar Mao nodded heavily, turned to Commander Zhu and said his thoughts: "The 2,700 soldiers who have been rowed over from the instructor have arrived in Xiaping, and they will be able to arrive in Ninggang at noon tomorrow. ā
"Early this morning, Comrade Han Shouren called me from Xiaping, and he told me that the 2,700 soldiers who arrived last night were well equipped and had sufficient ammunition, and that all the soldiers were equipped with 80 percent new 38 rifles and 79 rifles, and that they had brought as many as 35 light and heavy machine guns, 500,000 rounds of spare ammunition, 300 boxes of hand grenades, and as many as 370 war horses and pack horses."
"It can be seen from this that Zheng Yi, Li Zhao, Wang Huchen and other comrades have always had a deep affection for our base area, and it is not easy to give us tremendous support even though they are in urgent need of weapons and ammunition for their own attacks!"
"I try to persuade Comrade Lu Yi to leave a regiment to supplement the 10th Division, and Brother Yujie should also be more proactive, as long as we can get a regiment of personnel and equipment to replenish, we can expand eastward, first take Suichuan, which no one cares about, and then divide a part to go to Xingguo, and completely consolidate the base area in southern Jiangnan."
