Jinggangshan, Ciping, the venue of the former committee of the base. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As Commissar Mao's words fell, exclamations rang out, except for Commissar Mao and Han Shouren, the other committee members were deeply shocked, and they never expected the instructor to develop so quickly.

After everyone calmed down, Han Shouren asked, "How do we reply to the instructor?" Is it necessary to inform the Commissioner and the Special Commission of the Border Districts? ”

Everyone looked at Commissar Mao and Zhu Yujie, Commissar Mao lit a cigarette and thought nervously, Zhu Yujie thought for a while, and said: "The commissioner and the comrades of the special committee of the border region have just left the base area in the morning, and I am afraid that they have not crossed the Ganjiang River at this time. ”

"If Comrade Zheng Yi leads the three main forces to Ruijin, will the revolutionary situation be very good and the Xingguo and Ningdu will not be affected by this?"

Wang Erzhuo voiced his concerns.

Committee member Mao also expressed his thoughts: "The workers' and peasants' revolutionary governments were established in Xingguo and Ningdu three months ago, the party organizations in the two counties have also been restored, and their own Red Guard brigades have been formed with the strong support of the instructors. ”

"It is reported that the Red Guard Brigade in each county has more than 2,000 people, and all of them are equipped with rifles and a small number of light machine guns.

"Judging from the current situation, after all, the enemy's encirclement on all sides has just been broken, and the Dian army in the north and the Guangdong army in the south have been severely damaged one after another, and Yang Chisheng, who is cowering in Ganzhou City, does not dare to come out at all, and there should be no danger in a short time."

"In this case, let Comrade Zheng Yi act as soon as possible, and transport the scarce materials back as soon as possible, we urgently need replenishment here!" Zhu Yujie agreed.

There were no more objections from the participants, and the ownership of the instructors had not yet been determined, and the central government would not give clear instructions until the end of the month at the earliest, so that the subordination of each other could be clarified.

……

……

At midnight, the opinions of the meeting of the former committee of the base were transferred to Zheng Yi, and Li Zhao, Wang Huchen and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the three main regiments could not set off immediately, and they had to wait for the completion of the prisoner handover with the Yunnan army before they could go to Ruijin, and then launch the offensive in western Fujian.

On the morning of the next day, Li Zhao, the instructor and political commissar, hurriedly returned to Xingguo to make preparations for the handover of the two regiments.

Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen inspected the city defense of Ningdu non-stop, watched the Ningdu Red Guard Brigade undergoing rigorous military training, visited the officers and soldiers recuperating from the wounded, and finally inspected the prisoner of war camp together with Yang Yuhan, commander of the First Division of the 39th Army of the Yunnan Army, and Li Sisu, chief of staff.

May 21, noon.

The transport team of the Yunnan Army from Nanchang finally arrived at Shishang Town, north of Ningdu, and Zhu Zhiru, chief of staff of the 39th Army, crossed the west bank of the Meijiang River under the escort of a squad of guards, and handed over to Zheng Yi, who had been waiting for a long time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, more than 2,000 officers and men of the transport team of the Yunnan army withdrew from Shishang Town and retreated to two kilometers north of the town to wait in line. Later, more than 5,000 Yunnan prisoners, escorted by two battalions of the third regiment of the instructor, crossed the Meijiang River and entered Shishang Town.

More than 60 fully loaded carriages neatly arranged above the wharf on the east bank crossed the west bank in a steady stream, and it lasted two and a half hours before the entire handover work was announced.

Yang Yuhan, the commander of the first division who stayed at the back of the team, and Li Sisu, the chief of staff, were full of emotion, and after a brief discussion with Zhu Zhu, who came to greet them, they came to Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen together, stood for a long time but couldn't say a word, and finally gave a military salute to Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen, turned around slowly, and followed the embarrassed Zhu Zhuru to leave on the horse.

……

……

The weather in May is unpredictable, and it was still a good weather with the sun shining brightly, but after nightfall suddenly the wind blows fiercely, the dark clouds are thick, the rumbling thunder explodes at the head, the dazzling lightning pierces the black clouds and the surging sky, and the dust and dead leaves and grass are soon enveloped in the pouring rain that is getting denser and denser.

The heavy rain for a day and night broke the eastward expansion plan drawn up by the instructor party committee, and there were few pedestrians in the streets and alleys of Ninghua City where the rain flowed, and more than 2,000 members of the Ningdu Red Guard Brigade, who were conducting intense training in the south and north of the city, had already returned to their respective defense areas.

Hundreds of carriages loaded with weapons, ammunition, food, and cloth were again dragged under the warehouses and stables.

Zheng Yi took this opportunity to convene officers at and above the battalion level to discuss the problems that arose after the adjustment of the three main regiments.

After the battle of Licun, the regiments of the instructors were given three days of precious rest and recuperation, and more than 300 seriously wounded were concentrated in Yutunan University for nutrition and wounded, and together with the seriously wounded, there were tens of thousands of horses of cloth and a large amount of food and supplies.

More than 600 officers and men who were slightly wounded were treated and returned to the establishment one after another, plus 500 recruits and 80 military instructors brought by political commissar Li Zhao from Xingguo, and all regiments participating in the battle were replenished with sufficient troops.

Even if we do not count the two battalions of the Sixth Regiment and the Guard Regiment, which are about to be separated, the readjusted instructors still have six main regiments and three battalions directly under them, and the total number of personnel is still as high as 11,235, far exceeding the rough estimate of the front committee of the base area.

Thanks to the 10 75 mountain guns captured in two victories, the instructor division selected 180 artillery from each regiment and formed the first artillery battalion of the division together with a newly formed infantry company and an engineer company. The original baggage battalion, communications company, and medical team have been maintained or expanded, and the two special service companies plus the original division headquarters guard platoon have formed a new special service battalion.

The biggest change was the reorganization of the Guard Corps.

The vast majority of the 2,08 officers and men of this regiment are veterans drawn from various regiments, and although joint training has not yet been carried out and has not been tested in actual combat, in the minds of the officers and men of the whole division, the reorganized guard regiment has surpassed the second regiment with outstanding merits in terms of weaponry and equipment, as well as the quality of officers and men.

In time, the guard regiment will surely become the trump card of the whole division, which shows the good intentions of division commander Zheng Yi and chief of staff Wang Huchen.

Yang Liding, the former commander of the machine gun battalion of the Second Regiment, was promoted to deputy commander and concurrently served as the commander of the machine gun battalion, Sun Yingfa, an experienced political officer of the division headquarters, served as the political commissar of the regiment, and Zhou Bingyao, the former head of the operational staff of the division headquarters, served as the chief of staff of the regiment.

The Guards Regiment has two infantry battalions, one machine gun battalion, one police company, one baggage company, and one engineer company, and is equipped with 12 Maxim heavy machine guns, four French Bayi mortars, and 36 Czech light machine guns transferred from the special service company.

The total number of officers and men of the other regiments has increased by a large margin, and the number of officers and men of the other regiments has exceeded 1,800, except for the 1st Regiment of Li Lianshan, which is stationed in Jiangkou Town, south of Xingguo, which has not yet been adjusted.

After the instructors' units seized a large amount of weapons, equipment, and materials in successive victories, and the weapons and equipment of the division's regiments were changed almost twice, and more than 6,000 rifles and 30 light and heavy machine guns were taken out to support the Red Guards in Xingguo and Ningdu counties, the instructors still had 4,500 rifles, 280 pistols, and 17 heavy machine guns in stock.

At present, the number of rounds of ammunition in the whole division has reached 2.5 million, and the number of oceans and gold bars is even more astonishing, totaling 960,000, and this huge wealth is packed in 27 carefully selected and sturdy carriages, which are now parked in front of the barracks of the special service company in the backyard of the county government, which are covered with thick waterproof tarpaulins and look like boxes of ammunition.

Most of this huge amount of money will be sent to Tingzhou, and the task force led by Shangguan Yong will secretly send it to Hong Kong as funds for the purchase of medicines and important weapons and equipment, and the rest will be distributed as allowances for officers and soldiers.
