Chapter 144: All for the War (Subscription Requested)
After attending the afternoon meeting on the division of labor, the three members of the Committee of the Former Enemies of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not want to eat, drink or drink, and immediately rushed back to Longshi with a platoon of guards to prepare for the attack on Yongxin in advance.

Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo, who had just been appointed as the chief and deputy commanders of the Second Regiment of the First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, could not sit still, and after bidding farewell to Zheng Yi and Commissar Mao, they immediately led more than a dozen fierce brothers to return to Maoping on horseback, and took the more than 300 brothers who had just changed into new military uniforms to Longshi to accept the command of the former enemy committee.
Accompanied by Zheng Yi and Li Zhao, Committee member Mao visited the indigenous villagers in Xiaping Village, visited more than 80 villagers who had just moved in and were in urgent need of rebuilding their homes, had cordial conversations with the villagers, and asked them about their warmth and warmth.
When he came to the barracks under construction at the foot of Songshan, Commissar Mao looked very carefully, walked around inside and out, and returned to the gate of the stone bars again. Where does the lime come from? ”
Li Zhao replied truthfully: "The green bricks are very cheap, 300 pieces of lime from the ocean, the lime is transported from the village of Eling, the distance is far, 20 taels of an ocean, there are stone strips and slate at the foot of the mountain, our soldiers and a few villagers with stonemason skills work together, and dozens of pieces can be knocked out every day." ”
"As for the gray tiles and timber, most of them are sent from several villages in Tongmuling, there are several brick kilns and a timber workshop there, and we pay all the villagers who help them, and the wages are calculated on a daily basis, with a minimum of 80 copper plates per day and a maximum of 100 copper plates per day.
Commissar Mao nodded frequently: "It's done very well, the salary is three percent higher than that of Ninggang County, and it's very kind!" It is precisely because you adhere to principles, strict military discipline, and treat the people well that you will gain the heartfelt support of the people in just a few days. ”
Li Zhao smiled brightly: "In the next step, we plan to set up a coordination committee for civil-military relations, with Comrade Qin Shuming as the director, but we are not sure about the women's working committee, and we don't know whether it should be managed by the Xiaping Peasant Association established in the future, or by us?" ”
Member Mao pondered for a moment: "I suggest that it is better for you to take charge of it for the time being, because at present other ministries are also strengthening the building of party organizations at all levels, because there are too few party members, and we have just arrived in Jinggangshan, we do not have a solid mass foundation, so we cannot take care of most of the villages and towns outside Ninggang County and HL City for the time being, and it is better to have your division party committee temporarily take charge of it, and we can also accumulate experience for the construction of base areas in the future." ”
Li Zhao finally put his mind at ease, discussed with Zheng Yi slightly, and made another request to Commissar Mao: "Commissar Mao, we would like to ask you to help us refer to the reorganization plan of the tutor, is it okay?" ”
Commissar Mao smiled: "Since you don't think I'm troublesome, I'll help you become a military advisor." ”
Zheng Yi and Li Zhao laughed and asked Commissar Mao to return to the division headquarters together, and summoned Han Shouren, Wang Huchen, Qin Shuming, and Li Caijuan, four members of the division's party committee, to come up with a proposed reorganization plan for Commissar Mao to examine and approve it.
After reading the five-page reorganization plan, Commissar Mao was quite surprised: "The adjustment is very large! I can understand the benefits and the need for secrecy when you have merged the most elite special service company, the guard platoon, and an infantry company in charge of the internal guard into the newly formed divisional guard battalion, but I don't understand the reason for changing the name of the reorganized teaching regiment to the third regiment. ”
At Zheng Yi's signal, Chief of Staff Wang Huchen came to answer this question:
"There are two differences between the reorganized training regiment and the teaching regiment in the ordinary sense: First, in order to reduce the burden of training recruits in the main regiments, in the future, all recruits will have to undergo training in the regiment's recruit camp for six months, and only after passing the examination will they be supplemented to each main regiment."
"The second reason is that the second battalion of the regiment is actually a grassroots officer training course, and each battalion and company of the main regiment selects and sends outstanding squad and platoon commanders to the second battalion for study and training in basic military theory and tactical command, so that these outstanding squad and platoon commanders can quickly become qualified commanders."
"The third battalion of the regiment is a training battalion for the training of outstanding soldiers, and this battalion will follow the operational command to learn and observe during the marching operation, and if necessary, it will also be put into the battlefield."
Commissar Mao pondered for a long time: "I understand that you are thinking about frequent operations, integrating the training of new recruits, the training of officers, and the training of commanders at the grassroots level, which is very creative and very efficient in doing a good job!" I want to bring this experience back and see if it can be promoted in the first division. ”
The generals and colonels were very happy, and Wang Huchen continued to introduce the provisional fourth regiment in the plan: "The provisional fourth regiment is the 130 wounded and sick and some officers who stayed in Jinhua Mountain, although there is no contact so far, but I believe that they can continue to grow and gain a firm foothold in the Jinhua Mountain area, so they will leave a number for the time being, if not, they can be withdrawn at any time." ”
"This idea is very thoughtful, we must get in touch as soon as possible, if it is feasible, we must strengthen the strength of all aspects of Jinhuashan, and establish the party branch, maybe we will soon be able to use this temporary group."
Committee member Mao was very keen-eyed, saw the essence of the problem at a glance, and reminded him in a timely manner.
After getting the approval of Commissar Mao, Zheng Yi and others were finally relieved, so that when they ate, everyone had a great appetite, and generally ate one or two more bowls than usual.
Late at night, accompanied by Zheng Yi, member Mao visited the communications center and was very surprised to see the telephones on the desktop.
Zheng Yi replied briskly: "I wish I could hand over the radio station and telephone system to you and the front committee now, but you and the front committee have not been able to determine the location of the military and political command center in the base area for a long time, and the matter will drag on until now. ”
Committee member Mao was very happy: "After the fight against Yongxin, our former committee will move, and it is very unsafe to stay in Longshi, and in the past two days, we have caught four Kuomintang spies who spy on intelligence, and we don't know how many invisible spies there are." ”
"Commissar Mao, your guards are not qualified, and I will transfer two elites from Hunan Province to you from the spy company later, and pick a few good horses, and your horses will not work!" Zheng Yi's tone was firm.
Commissar Mao patted Zheng Yi's arm: "Okay, listen to you this time!" Take me out for a walk, Xiaping is a good place, I want to see more. ”
Zheng Yi readily agreed, walked out of the side gate of the small temple side by side with Commissar Mao, and came to the flat playground by the small river: "I am now very worried about the Nanchang uprising units that have arrived in the Chaoshan area of northeastern Guangdong. ”
The instructors mainly collected all kinds of news from the radio station one after another, most of which belonged to the publicly released war situation reports, some of which were true and some were false, and special personnel needed to screen them, and Zheng Yi reported all the information he knew to Committee member Mao.
In response to the Nanchang uprising troops moving south, the Lufeng Peasant Army of Guangdong Province successively occupied all areas of Hailufeng except Haifeng City in early and mid-September.
On 14 September, Cai Tingkai's 10th Division, which had led his troops to participate in the Nanchang Uprising, was taken over by Jiang Guangnai, and entered Fujian from Yundu and Ruijin to flank our rebel army heading south.
On 17 September, the main force of the Nanchang rebel army entered Guangdong from Fujian, and Huang Shaohong, the acting commander-in-chief of the 8th Route of Guangdong, commanded all the troops to advance in unison and press and surround the sea.
On 18 September, more than 7,000 people from Huang Qixiang's front unit of Zhang Fakui's army arrived in Shaoguan and immediately joined the ranks of the encirclement and suppression of the rebel army.
On the same day, the rebel army Helongbu attacked Tai Po, swirled down the Han River, and captured Sanheba on the 19th, and Ye Ting's troops also arrived the next day. Subsequently, the rebel army divided its troops, with Zhu Yujie leading the Ninth Army and the 25th Division of the Eleventh Army to hold the Sanhe Dam, and the General Headquarters led the main force to continue to advance towards Chaoshan.
The main force of the rebel army first repelled the four regiments of Wang Jun, the commander of the Chaomei garrison, and defeated Chao'an on the 23rd, and the vanguard entered Shantou on the 24th.
On the 23rd, Huang Shaohong arrived at the command post headquarters of M County and advanced towards Tai Po, and on the same day, Xue Yue and Huang Xuchu's headquarters occupied Tai Po.
On the 25th, Huang Shaohong ordered his subordinates to occupy Fengshun City, and the main force occupied Tangkeng, and then attacked Baifenpu and Chao'an; The Central and Central armies blocked the Han River and blocked the retreat of the rebel army.
On the 26th, the rebel army rested in Chaoshan for three days, and the second division of troops on that day: the third division of the 20th Army was led by division commander Zhou Yiqun to guard Chaoshan; The 24th Division of the 11th Army and the 1st Division of the 20th Army converged and the surging Dongjiang Workers' and Peasants' Self-Defense Army concentrated in Jieyang.
On the 28th, the 1st Division of the 20th Army and the 24th Division of the 11th Army, the main force of the Nanchang Rebel Army, attacked and advanced to Tangkeng, and the 2nd Division of the 20th Army was the follow-up force. Near Tangkeng, the rebel army engaged Wang Junchao's Mei Garrison Brigade, Chen Jitang's 11th Division, and Xue Yue's 2nd Division.
As a result, two days and nights of continuous fierce fighting, until the 30th, the rebel army ran out of ammunition and food, lost more than half of it, and retreated to Jieyang, which fell into the hands of the enemy that night.
On the 28th of the same day, with the cooperation of British, Japanese, American, French, and other warships, the Guangdong Navy's Flying Eagle and Minsheng launched a landing operation in Shantou to attack the rebel troops, but were repulsed by the guard regiment.
On the evening of the 30th, Huang Shaohong's troops captured Chao'an, and the Nanchang rebel army was cut off by the enemy because of the Chaoshan connection, and Shantou lost its protection.
The latest news is that on 1 October, the Nanchang uprising troops crossed the Rongjiang River at a fort about 40 miles from Jieyang, went to Guiyu the next day, and arrived at Wushi near Liusha Town, Pun County, on the 3rd, where they were ambushed by Chen Jitang's 11th Division and Xu Jingtang's 13th Division.
After listening to the briefing on the war situation, Commissar Mao was worried: "The situation is indeed very critical, but the more this time, the more we need the commanders to be calm and calm, and we can't mess up our own positions." Comrade Zheng Yi, you should get in touch with Comrade Xiangyu as much as possible, and at the same time record all the KMT statements and battle reports received by the radio station, because we cannot become blind or deaf, and every piece of information is very precious to us. ”
"Understood! Communication is even this during this time, three shifts a day, now the weather is getting colder and colder, don't worry about the machine is too hot, every day I will send you a briefing, I will think of a way to get you a few Siemens radios back there, we can't cut off contact with each other, otherwise I am very uneasy! ”
Zheng Yi nodded with a stern expression, and then said unceremoniously: "The first division seems to have expanded to two and a half regiments of nearly two thousand people, but if you really want to fight, most of them will not be useful. ”
Commissar Mao was happy: "You can't think like this!" Complaining too much to prevent bowel breaking, understand? ”
Zheng Yi smiled bitterly: "It's just that it's too clear to be painful!" Until now, we still can't get in touch with Director Zhou, and we are even more blind to the central government, please take us in, you are too cautious, you have to let us wait for the instructions of the central government, it's difficult! Fortunately, the party committee of our instructors has been established, the soldiers' committee has also been established, and the performance of political cadres at all levels has been quite satisfactory. ”
Commissar Mao shook his head again and again: "The battle must be fought, and political work must also be done, and your reorganization this time is very timely and reasonable, and the two main regiments can be used to the maximum extent without delaying the training of recruits and the training of grassroots officers. ”
Zheng Yi humbly accepted the opinions, and after discussing several difficulties in political work with Member Mao, the topic gradually turned to the direction of Hunan Province: "What is the level of the South Hunan Special Committee?" ”
Member Mao took the cigarette handed by Zheng Yi, lit it and patiently explained:
"The South Hunan Special Committee was established in May 1924, and its original name was the South Hunan Local Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China, which was subordinate to the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and had a very large jurisdiction, and was the highest party, government, and military leadership organ in Hengyang, Shuikoushan, and 24 counties in South Hunan.
"Half a month ago, Chen Youkui, Zhou Lu and other comrades were ordered to reorganize the South Hunan Special Committee and renamed it the South Hunan Special Action Committee, and Comrade Chen Youkui served as the second secretary of the South Hunan Special Committee of the Central Committee and the Communist Party of China, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in the 24 counties of South Hunan and the chairman of the South Hunan Soviet Government.
"The day before yesterday, I was specially appointed to send me a letter, asking me to lead the troops south to participate in the riots in the southern Hunan area, but at that time, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo had not yet agreed to join the revolutionary ranks, and the former committee had no clue about the recruitment work in Ninggang County, and I had just completed the reorganization, and two of the battalions still had to guard the county seat of Ninggang, how could I get out? As a result, the commissioner left in a huff, alas! ”
"Didn't Comrade Peng Gongda preside over the work of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee? He should know the actual situation! Is there some misunderstanding in this that blames you for the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising? Zheng Yi asked.
Committee member Mao solemnly explained: "In any case, the Autumn Harvest Uprising did fail, and I, the former secretary of the party committee, must definitely take responsibility, just like your Nanchang Uprising Former Enemy Committee, in the face of the Central Committee's questioning, don't you also have to take responsibility?" Fortunately, you are not a former member of the committee, and the Central Committee will not be able to contact you for a while, otherwise you Zheng Yi will also have to take responsibility, which is necessary, and no one can avoid it! ”
In the face of Commissar Mao's serious criticism, Zheng Yi had no choice at all: "It turns out that I have always wanted to hand over all political work, personnel management, and officer training to you, a powerful person, after meeting you. Alas...... Forget it, don't think about it, let's knock Yongxin down first, otherwise I won't be able to survive this winter. ”
Commissar Mao couldn't help but smile again: "Okay, let's talk about it after the fight Yongxin, this battle is not difficult for you, and it is estimated that it will be over in half a day." ”
"After defeating Yongxin, I applied to immediately lead my troops to travel two hundred miles, take advantage of the emptiness in the enemy's rear, take Chaling with lightning speed, and then beat Yuxian in one go, and then turn back from Yuxian, so run a circle, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days, and then take a good rest, and then fight Yongxin."
Zheng Yi seemed to be angry, and Commissar Mao was dumbfounded when he heard it, and it took a while to realize that Zheng Yi was not joking.
After weighing it repeatedly, CPPCC member Mao immediately agreed: "This plan is very good, and I think that the former party committee and even the Hunan provincial party committee will also fully support you." ”
"According to the analysis of the current situation in Hunan Province, it is indeed an extremely clever battle plan, which can not only play a role in promoting the revolutionary uprisings in various parts of southern Hunan but also temper the combat effectiveness of the troops and continuously accumulate experience for future revolutionary struggles.
