Chapter XXIX

On the way back, Zhang Cheng saw that the military and civilians in Ruijin were very depressed, "Maybe they already know that the Red Army is about to leave Ruijin, the red capital." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Cheng thought to himself.

In fact, it is no wonder that in this red capital, most of the early leaders and military generals of the Workers' and Peasants' Party were tempered and grown up at this time, and the first and second generation leaders of New China, nine of the ten founding marshals of the Republic, seven of the ten senior generals, and 35 generals, 114 lieutenant generals and 440 major generals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army who were awarded titles before 1966, all fought, worked and lived in Ruijin that year.

At the same time, the people of Ruijin supported the army and participated in the revolution with great enthusiasm, and contributed everything to the construction of the Red Army and Soviet power. In Ruijin, where there were only 240,000 people, a total of 110,000 people joined the army and participated in the war, and more than 50,000 people sacrificed their lives for the revolution, of which 10,800 died in the Red Army's Long March, and there were 17,166 martyrs in Ruijin. From 1932 to 1934, the people of Ruijin subscribed to 680,000 yuan of public bonds and lent 250,000 quintals of grain, of which 415,000 yuan of public bonds and all the donated grain were selflessly donated to the Soviet government, and 26 million silver dollars of deposits in the Soviet State Bank during the Long March were used to support the revolution.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, because he knew that in history, after the Red Army's Long March, the Kuomintang reactionaries raised their butcher's knives against Ruijin and other ordinary people in the Soviet area, and all kinds of reactionary organizations such as the "Returning to the Hometown Regiment," the "Eradication Communist League," the "Assassination Regiment," the "Volunteer Brigade," the "Door-to-Door Regiment," the "Jingwei Regiment," the "Security Brigade," and the "Soshan Brigade" carried out frenzied revenge against the people in the Soviet area.

The crimes committed by the Kuomintang reactionaries against the common people in the Soviet areas are too numerous to mention, and it can be said that they are comparable to the massacre carried out by the Japanese devils in Nanjing; whenever the Kuomintang troops occupy the hometown of the leader of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, they carry out a policy of exterminating the family members of the leaders of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and they do not leave any ordinary people with the same surname as the leaders of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, just like the nine tribes of Zhulian in ancient times.

In the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese devils were world-famous for slaughtering 300,000 Chinese people, but the Kuomintang reactionaries killed nearly one million people in the Soviet region, but few people knew about the "white terror" they personally created, and perhaps it was difficult for future generations to believe and unwilling to believe how the Chinese could be so cruel to their own compatriots and commit such crimes.

"I must stop all this, if the Kuomintang reactionaries continue to kill indiscriminately as they have done in history, then I have no choice but to stop killing them, and the reactionary organizations such as the 'Returning to the Hometown Group', the 'Assassination League' and the 'Eradication of the Communist Party' must be strangled in the embryonic stage. Only the special operations brigade can complete the task of killing and killing. It seems that after the Long March, most of the members of the special operations brigade can only continue to stay in the Soviet area to fight guerrillas, and only they have the ability to create a 'red terror' to deter those inhumane reactionaries. ”

After Zhang Cheng had an idea in his heart, his mood quickly calmed down,

In the afternoon, after returning to the division headquarters, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered the logistics office to make preparations for the Long March and speed up the production of a series of easy-to-carry baggage such as military flags, military uniforms, and military rations.

In the evening, Zhang Cheng, who had been working hard all day, had just laid down, and the guard Xiao Li ran to the door and kept calling.

"Division commander, division commander, the central government has called."

Zhang Cheng suddenly got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. But I thought in my heart: "I just came back from the central station, why did the central government send a report again?" Something important must have happened. ”

"Major news report: Due to the sudden defection of Kong Hezhong, commander of the Hubei-Jiangxi Military Region and commander of the 16th Red Army, the plan for the large-scale military strategic transfer of the Central Red Army has been leaked ahead of schedule. Chang Kaishen has already launched a fierce bombardment of important targets in the Ruijin Soviet area, and ordered Chen Cheng's five divisions to reinforce Jiang Ding's cultural department, planning to encircle and suppress your Shicheng defense line, and hope that your department will make preparations for counter-encirclement and suppression in advance. Central Revolutionary Military Commission: Zhu, Zhou. ”

"Damn, Jiang Dingwen has five divisions, and after transferring two divisions to garrison the place, there are only three divisions left, and he originally wanted to eat him in one bite, but now that there are reinforcements from Chen Cheng's five divisions, there are a total of eight divisions to fight me, Chang Kaishen is so generous!" Zhang Cheng sighed secretly.

"Xiao Li, inform the division headquarters, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, political commissars, and regimental battalion commanders of directly subordinate units to have a meeting at the division headquarters at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Also, call me Li Dapeng from the reconnaissance battalion. ”

Ten minutes later, Li Dapeng, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, arrived in the dust.

"Report to the division commander, Li Dapeng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, came to report." Li Dapeng saluted.

"Dapeng, how is the situation of the reconnaissance battalion now? How's the morale? Zhang Cheng asked.

When Li Dapeng asked this question, he knew that the reconnaissance battalion had a task, and he said with some excitement, "Report to the division commander, the morale of the soldiers in the whole battalion of the reconnaissance regiment is high and they are always ready. ”

"Very well, now I order, scatter the reconnaissance battalion to all the periphery, especially the area around Stone City, and keep an eye on the enemy's movements. In addition, a total of five divisions of Chen Cheng's division are moving towards our army, and I ask your reconnaissance battalion to send a company to contact the local guerrillas, extensively carry out a cold-gun and cold-artillery campaign, harass and attack Chen Cheng's troops as much as possible, and lay mines on the main road they are marching, so as to delay the enemy's march. Did you hear me clearly? ”

"It's clear, the reconnaissance battalion resolutely completed the task." Li Dapeng replied firmly.

Looking at Li Dapeng in the distance, Zhang Cheng returned to the room and lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply sat up and began to think about how to fight in the future.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhang Cheng convened a military meeting of divisional, brigade, regimental, and battalion cadres.

Looking at the nearly 100 generals in the conference room neatly sitting in the entire conference room, Zhang Cheng was extremely proud, he was going to lead these teams to fight in the south and the north, and fight for the liberation of the whole of China.

"Before the meeting starts, let's report our family background so that everyone knows what they know." Zhang Cheng threw bricks and led the jade road.

"Report to the division commander, there are three infantry regiments under the jurisdiction of the first brigade, and the troops directly under the brigade have a fire support company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, a cavalry company, and an artillery company, with a total of 4,500 people in the whole brigade, and the soldiers are highly motivated and ready to accept combat missions at any time." Listening to Li Yunlong's report, Zhang Cheng nodded and looked at Ding Wei, the commander of the second brigade.

"Report to the division commander, there are three infantry regiments under the jurisdiction of the second brigade, and the troops directly under the brigade have a fire support company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, a cavalry company, and an artillery company, with a total of 4,500 people in the whole brigade, and the soldiers are highly motivated and ready to accept combat missions at any time." Zhang Cheng nodded and looked at Zhou Weiguo.

"Report to the division commander, there are three infantry regiments under the jurisdiction of the third brigade, and the troops directly under the brigade have a fire support company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, a cavalry company, and an artillery company, with a total of 4,500 people in the whole brigade, and the soldiers are highly motivated and ready to accept combat missions at any time." Zhang Cheng continued to nod and looked at Chen Shiqu, the commander of the Teaching Brigade.

"Report to the division commander, there are three new regiments under the command of the brigade, and the troops directly under the brigade have a fire support company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, a cavalry company, and an artillery company, with a total of 4,500 people in the whole brigade, and the soldiers are highly motivated and ready to accept combat missions at any time." Zhang Cheng nodded, and immediately looked at Chief of Staff Zhang Fengming.

'Report to the division commander, the division has a reconnaissance battalion, a cavalry battalion, an engineer battalion, a baggage battalion, an artillery battalion, a heavy fire battalion, a sniper battalion, as well as a communications department, a field hospital, and a cultural and art regiment, of which there are 2,000 combatants and 1,300 non-combatants. Chief of Staff Zhang Fengming said.

As the meeting recorder finished counting the data, Zhang Cheng picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and saw the shocking number, even with Zhang Cheng's calm character, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

"Comrades, after a series of battles, instead of becoming weak, our Young Communist Division has become stronger and stronger. Now the division has a total of more than 21,300 people, which can be described as a large number of generals and sophisticated weapons, but the vicious battle we are facing has just begun. After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he took out the telegram from the Central Revolutionary Military Commission in his pocket.
