Chapter 316 Expanding the Red (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
When everyone was almost finished, Wang Huchen pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet:
"Everyone played well, and the results were brilliant...... In this battle, more than 3,390 enemy men were killed, one-third of whom were killed by unconscionable artillery, more than 5,800 enemy officers and men were captured, and 8 37 guns, 2 75 mountain guns, 7,150 38 rifles, more than 300 pistols of various kinds, 17 heavy machine guns, 28 Lewis machine guns, 14 Browning light machine guns, and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition of various kinds were captured.

"Due to the effective rescue, the malicious arson of the routs and ruffians and hooligans was extinguished in advance, the two major grain warehouses in the city and the military camp at the foot of Tianma Mountain are well preserved, and all the food and military supplies of the enemy army have fallen into our hands.
The brothers applauded excitedly, and Li Lianshan knocked on the table and reminded: "Our troops on the northern front have also captured a lot, especially the weapons, I have carefully examined them, most of them are the 38 rifles, and nearly half of them are newly issued, everyone knows how well this rifle is performing......
"So, I have to remind everyone here, don't forget that the boss has to expand two regiments on his side, and he doesn't want to confiscate all the captured weapons, but at least he has to select a few thousand good 38 rifles from them and send them to the boss along with the ammunition, this thing has no place to buy if you have money."
"I'm in favor of it, and I'll do it as soon as the meeting is adjourned." Duan Xuan echoed loudly.
Huang Guoxing and the three political commissars of the regiment also agreed, and demanded that it be done as soon as possible, otherwise there would be too many people and many dreams.
Wang Huchen readily agreed, and immediately handed over the task to Huang Guoxing: "Your second regiment and the teaching brigade will return to Tingzhou tomorrow, and you will be personally responsible for this matter, and all regiments will cooperate closely, in addition to the 38 rifles and supporting ammunition, by the way, you will send back 20,000 sets of quilts and military uniforms in the warehouse of the Tianmashan military camp." ”
"Understood!" Huang Guoxing replied with a smile.
Wang Huchen continued: "Most of the brothers in the 1st Regiment of the 19th Division who served as the reserve are still carrying big swords and shuttles, except for a dozen officers, the others are all in civilian clothes, and it is necessary to allocate 1,500 rifles and 50 pistols to them as soon as possible, as well as 3,000 sets of captured military uniforms and shoes and hats. ”
Guo Qingyang, the new quartermaster chief of the Second Division, nodded heavily: "It can be done after lunch." ”
Wang Huchen turned to Tao Zhuguo, the political commissar of the division on the left: "Old Tao, you can say a few words." ”
Tao Zhuguo smiled: "After laying Longyan, we have basically completed the tasks assigned by the organization, and it is estimated that in three days, the regiments will be withdrawn one after another......"
"Lianshan will report to the general headquarters, the fourth regiment will also return to Liancheng to station, and Duan Xuan's fifth regiment is estimated to stay and wait for the special commission of the Jiangxi-Fujian border region and the Red Seventh Army to take over the defense before returning to Tingzhou."
"As for me, I will leave it with Duan Xuan to the end, and fully assist the special committee and the comrades in western Fujian to establish the Longyan revolutionary government, which is a serious political task that must be resolutely accomplished."
"Okay, listen to you."
Duan Xuan reluctantly expressed his position, causing the brothers to laugh.
Tao Zhuguo explained: "This is also what the boss means...... In addition, Comrade Shangguan Yong will most likely arrive tomorrow at noon or evening, and then you will need to cooperate with his work and select a hundred young and simple soldiers with good skills from among the captives for him to take away. ”
Duan Xuan suddenly came to his senses: "Okay! Please rest assured, the political commissar will cooperate with Shangguan Yong. ”
Gao Cheng, the new chief of staff of the Second Teaching Division, suggested: "Ladies and gentlemen, more than 5,000 people have been captured this time, most of them are from western Fujian, can you select a group of young prisoners from poor families and send them to the camp in the west of Tingzhou City to study and reform?" Anyway, it's a little better than the current training of new recruits, right? What's more, our tutor's political work has been doing well, and he will definitely be able to reform it in three months at most. ”
Qin Baijun, political commissar of the Fifth Regiment, strongly agreed: "This is a good idea!" The teacher has told us more than once that the reform of prisoners will be an important part of the political work of our revolutionary ranks. Now that group of people has become a regiment of excellent soldiers, and seven of them have become company commanders. ”
"I agree with the Chief of Staff and Bai Jun! Commander, look ......," Tao Zhuguo, who had a mild personality, asked with a smile.
Wang Huchen nodded: "It's completely okay, among the nearly six thousand captives, more than half of them are under the age of twenty-five, even if they are screened again and again, and strictly examined, at least a thousand people can be singled out, and if these thousand people are reformed, they will be the strength of two infantry battalions, and it will be beneficial to us no matter how you say it." ”
As a result, the decision to screen the captives was unanimously adopted.
From this day on, the team led by Zheng Yi gradually established a complete and efficient system for the reform of prisoners, which will play an important and positive role in the future revolutionary war.
……
……
After laying down Longyan, the red base area was expanded to the southeast by thousands of square kilometers, which made Zheng Yi greatly relieved, and the heavy pressure was reduced by half, and he took his dog Xiaoqiang with excitement and pulled the political commissar Li Zhao to the camp in the west of Tingzhou City to inspect the camp that was being expanded.
More than 2,000 recruits who have been in the army for a week are undergoing the most basic cohort training.
Since there are only 12 sewing machines in the quilt factory under the Women's Association and the two local sewing shops, the production of military uniforms is far from keeping pace with the increase in recruits, and more than 2,000 recruits are still wearing a variety of civilian clothes, some barefoot and some wearing straw sandals, but all of them are very serious.
After inspecting the four-row barracks that were being built with tiled roofs, Zheng Yi and Li Zhao returned to the big tree at the edge of the colonel, looking at the sweaty officers and soldiers on the playground, Li Zhao couldn't help but shake his head again and again:
"The originally set six-month recruit training period was basically useless, and the first three batches of more than 7,000 recruits were trained for less than a month and a half, and they were hurriedly incorporated into various armies and pulled onto the battlefield, alas!"
"Although it is said that it is possible to learn war in concrete actual combat, it has been pulled away without systematic training and assessment, and I always feel that it is not a good taste in my heart."
"Fortunately, after the 1,000 recruits we selected went to Ruijin, they continued to train according to the original plan, although the progress was slower, but at least the combat effectiveness was guaranteed, so that people could rest assured."
Zheng Yi was also helpless about this situation, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The situation is pressing!" The comrades of the special commission could not wait, and the Red Seventh Army continued to form new units, so they had no choice but to let the recruits who had just learned to walk the right step and discharge their guns end their training ahead of schedule. ”
"But in general, the expansion of the Red Army is the trend of the times, and it is better than directly integrating the Red Guards into regular combat units, and neither you nor I can express opposition."
"However, in any case, our two divisions must strictly implement the military training system, and would rather be slow than ensure quality, which is the foundation of our existence."
"The Red Seventh Army set up a total of three divisions of the 19th, 20th and 21st Divisions in one go, and organized the 3,000 recruits and the 3,000 people of the two Red Guard Brigades into four regiments after less than a month of training...... Isn't it a little too anxious? ”
Li Zhao said worriedly.
Zheng Yi thought for a while and kindly reminded: "The two regiments that participated in the Battle of Longyan passed with their bare hands, and now they have successfully captured Longyan, seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and military uniforms, and will be able to meet the equipment needs of the two regiments immediately. ”
Li Zhao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then changed the topic and chatted with Zheng Yi about the Battle of Longyan.
