After the conclusion of the central meeting, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua immediately rushed back to the column headquarters, first conveyed the spirit of the meeting to the members of the party committee of the headquarters, and then made specific arrangements for the next step of the column's work in accordance with the relevant decisions of the central authorities.

Zhang Cheng is determined to take advantage of this period of time to once again carry out a large-scale reorganization training activity, improve the military quality of the troops, further grasp the six-point basic tactical principles, do a good job in the combat training of the troops, strengthen the running-in of new and old soldiers, and comprehensively enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.
In addition, the political commissar is responsible for promoting cultural learning activities throughout the army and striving to eradicate illiteracy throughout the army.
Since Leshan is a populous city, after our army occupied this place, many students from poor backgrounds also joined our army, and in addition to the student soldiers recruited from Guiyang, the number of educated officers and soldiers of our army gradually increased, and the political commissar assigned these officers and soldiers to the basic troops and temporarily served as cultural instructors of the troops.
As a traverser, Zhang Cheng of course knew that literate troops were more combative, and the second batch of Chinese expeditionary forces that fought in Burma in history was a very obvious example.
This expeditionary force of 100,000 students was in stark contrast to the Kuomintang army, which had been defeated many times in the country. They successively participated in the northern counteroffensive of Burma, Myitkyina, Bhamo, Nankan, and Lashio, and won a complete victory in the second campaign of conquest of Burma, and played a major role in opening up the Sino-Indian highway.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng is very supportive of this cultural literacy activity carried out by the political commissar. He specially ordered Feng Shaojie's logistics office to come up with a sum of money to buy stationery for the soldiers, and asked each soldier to be allocated a pencil and a notebook.
Zhang Cheng also demanded that the soldiers must recognize 10 characters every day in the process of studying culture, and conduct a cultural evaluation at the end of the month. Officers and men who fail to read 300 words will be sentenced to one day of confinement, and a ceiling will be set in future promotions.
If there is a pen, there will be a reward, and the top three who know the most words in each unit will be awarded a certificate of merit, and will be given a pen, notebook, towel and other material rewards, and will be given priority in future promotions.
Finally, Zhang Cheng also particularly emphasized that this activity should be carried out persistently, and it is not possible to fish for three days and dry nets for two days.
In the future, cultural study activities should be carried out during the interval between battles, and efforts should be made to ensure that after one or two years, every soldier will be able to initially grasp cultural knowledge and basically understand military orders and documents.
Subsequently, the members of the party committee of the column headquarters carried out a specific division of labor, and everyone assumed their own responsibilities and cooperated closely.
Zhang Cheng mainly focused on the tactical training of the troops, and organized a new phase of the officer training team to train the military tactical command ability of grassroots officers.
In addition to carrying out the cultural study activities of the troops, the political commissar should also be responsible for the life of the troops, and extensively carry out various activities to do a good job in the building of spiritual civilization in the troops.
Zhang Fengming was responsible for assisting Zhang Cheng in the training of the troops, serving as an instructor of the officers' training team, mainly responsible for teaching the officers to do their homework on the map.
Feng Wenbin, director of the Political Department, was mainly responsible for liaison with the local government and propaganda work of the troops, and asked him to complete the task of recruiting 300 student soldiers during this period of recuperation.
Hu Wei, the minister of security, was responsible for listening to the KMT's radio station and screening a large number of prisoners and soldiers in the army, eliminating some bad elements with bad intentions and purifying the revolutionary ranks.
As for the logistics minister, Feng Shaojie's workload is the largest.
Zhang Cheng and his political commissar knew that our army was about to go north to northern Shaanxi, and on the way, not only had to face the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops, but also had to climb snow-capped mountains and cross grasslands, and experienced countless hardships and dangers.
Whether or not the logistics of the troops are sufficient or not has a bearing on the life and death of thousands of officers and men.
After the meeting, Zhang Cheng deliberately left Feng Shaojie behind, and asked him about the reserves of various materials of the army so far, and when he knew that the current material reserves of the troops were quite sufficient, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
Subsequently, Zhang Cheng revealed some ambiguous news to Feng Shaojie that our army was about to go on another expedition, and asked Feng Shaojie's logistics department to prepare early.
Then, he handed him a list of materials purchased by the troops in large quantities, and solemnly asked him to make up all the materials on the list by all means.
The list of materials particularly emphasized that there must be enough warm cotton clothes, military boots, tents, medicinal herbs, dry food, pickles, dried fish, salt and other daily necessities.
In the end, Zhang Cheng also specially told Feng Shaojie not to be afraid of spending money, and to purchase as many materials as possible on the list, even if the funds of the army are spent, it is not a pity.
Feng Shaojie and Zhang Cheng have been together for a long time, and they also know Zhang Cheng very well, and when they see his repeated instructions, they know that this expedition is not simple. Therefore, he cautiously agreed and promised to complete the procurement task assigned by Zhang Cheng.
Subsequently, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar went to the field hospital of the column to visit the wounded who had been wounded in previous battles.
Tian Fangfang, the director of the hospital, reported to Zhang Cheng some practical difficulties in the hospital, and Zhang Cheng immediately sent manpower to solve them.
However, the northward movement was imminent, and the resettlement of some seriously injured people made Zhang Cheng feel extremely headache. Through understanding, Zhang Cheng knew that there were nearly 600 seriously injured people in the hospital who were not suitable for long journeys.
Moreover, Zhang Cheng knew that during the expedition, he would have to climb snowy mountains and cross grasslands, and if these seriously wounded were carried on stretchers, it would bring great difficulties to the march of the troops.
Zhang Cheng actually didn't want to leave these seriously wounded here, after all, a large part of these seriously wounded were squad and platoon commanders who were charging ahead of the troops, and they were the basic backbone of the troops.
However, the journey to the north was too difficult, the natural environment was extremely harsh, and for the sake of their lives, Zhang Cheng had to reluctantly settle them in the local area.
The seriously wounded were reluctant to stay, and when Zhang Cheng and the political commissar announced the decision of the headquarters to them, many of the wounded left hot tears.
Faced with this situation, even Zhang Cheng, who was extremely hard-hearted, was a little teary-eyed.
In the end, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar repeatedly assured them that the troops would never give up on them, and when they recovered from their injuries and recovered their health, the liaison officers left by the troops would take them to the new base area, which calmed the unwillingness and sorrow of the soldiers.
In the end, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar decided to follow the story of Shicheng and place the seriously wounded in the Qionglai Mountains to recuperate in concealment, and left each seriously wounded with twenty oceans, which were enough to solve their difficulties in life.
Zhang Cheng also ordered three special combat personnel to stay in the local area to be responsible for organizing guerrilla units, developing revolutionary forces in the local area, and taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting the seriously wounded.
After solving the problem of the placement of the seriously injured, Zhang Cheng's mood relaxed a lot.
Then he thought that he was about to go to northern Shaanxi to establish a revolutionary base area, and then he would be able to fight devils happily, and his mood was even more urgent, and he wanted to fly to northern Shaanxi now. (To be continued.) )
