Back at the division headquarters, political commissar Xiao Hua, chief of staff Zhang Fengming, director Feng Wenbin, and director Feng Shaojie, members of the division's party committee, arrived one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The five-man group of the division headquarters first briefly reviewed the previous battle situation and made some summaries of some problems in the battle, and then Zhang Cheng mentioned the problem of prisoners.

Zhang Cheng said solemnly: "Up to now, the scale of our Red Army's fifth anti-encirclement and suppression war has become larger and larger, the degree of fighting has become more and more fierce and cruel, and the war situation has become more and more unfavorable to our army. Because our army confronted the elite divisions of the Kuomintang army ten times that were ten times superior to the Kuomintang army head-on with absolutely inferior troops and equipment, fought positional warfare with the enemy whose weapons and equipment were far superior to ours, and resisted the machine guns, heavy artillery, and aircraft of the Kuomintang army with flesh and blood, the casualties were very heavy, and now the Red Third Army Corps and the Red Fifth Army Corps have been losing one after another on the eastern front is a very obvious example.

If we continue to fight like this, we don't need to think about it to know that the loss of our soldiers is very serious, and in the battle a few days ago, the Red Third Army Corps sacrificed more than 3,000 soldiers, a loss of more than one and a half percent. It can be said that the replenishment of our army's troops is a big problem, and the troop resources transported by the Soviet area have also reached the limit, as can be seen from the fact that most of the soldiers in our Young Communist Division are fifteen or sixteen dolls. ”

"Division commander, this situation is very common in our army, have you thought of any good solution?" Political Commissar Xiao Hua asked.

Zhang Cheng looked at everyone, and then sent the guards and combat staff officers around him from afar, and then lowered his voice and said: "The solution is yes, but it is contrary to our army's prisoner policy, and it depends on whether we can use it flexibly." ”

Xiao Hua and the others knew Zhang Cheng's idea of fighting the prisoners as soon as they heard it, and they all came to their senses in an instant: "Division commander, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Cheng paused before speaking: "In fact, this method is to transform the captive soldiers in our hands into our Red Army. ”

"You mean forcing prisoners to join the Red Army, isn't it a violation of discipline! So what's the difference between us and the KMT's forcible pull-out? Feng Wenbin, as the director of the political department, was particularly disgusted by the violation of discipline and stood up to criticize.

Zhang Cheng pressed Feng Wenbin's shoulder to tell him not to get excited, and finally asked slowly: "If it wasn't forcible and the prisoners voluntarily joined our army?" ”

Feng Wenbin was puzzled: "Division commander, how can we make a large number of captured soldiers voluntarily join our Red Army troops?" Our Red Army was notoriously poor, and there was no money to pay, and very few prisoners were willing to join our army. ”

Zhang Fengming echoed: "Yes, even if the captives are forced by the force of our army to join our team, it is difficult to guarantee whether they are sincere or not. ”

Zhang Cheng drank a cup of tea and replied calmly: "This problem is actually not difficult to solve. We must understand that the vast majority of the KMT soldiers we captured were born from poor families who were exploited, and many of them were forcibly captured by the KMT, and they were all deeply oppressed by the landlords' old wealth, and if we want them to voluntarily join the Red Army, we must first make them realize that our Red Army, like them, is from a poor background, and is a poor people's army, and the reason why we are fighting and making a revolution is to break the old society and overthrow the exploitation of the landlords' old wealth, so we and them are all the same class. A stand.

In order to make them realize their own class position and change their thinking, first of all, we should hold a grievance rally, and through interrogation, we can find out a few prisoners who have been deeply exploited by the landlords and old fortunes to come to the stage to complain about their grievances, accuse the landlords and old fortunes of cruelly exploiting and oppressing their own families, profoundly expose the disasters brought about by the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang to themselves, and let them understand how the government and the landlords collude with each other to oppress their own profound crimes. The brutal truth was used to arouse the resonance of the captives, arouse their class consciousness, and arouse their class hatred of the landlords and old wealth.

Secondly, the Political Department organized and carried out three inspections to check the class, work, and ideology of all the prisoners, with the aim of purifying the revolutionary ranks, unifying the class stand, and enhancing ideological consciousness. Those officers who had committed the most heinous crimes could be dealt with severely and quickly, pitting the KMT officers against the prisoners.

Then, with the squad and platoon as a collective, the officers and men of the whole division vigorously carried out heart-to-heart talks, mobilized the broad masses of party members and soldiers to make friends with the captured soldiers, talked heart-to-heart, complained about the misery of being exploited and oppressed by the landlords and old wealth, and the glory after joining the Red Army, enlightened and educated them, guided them to unify their class stand, and made them realize that our Red Army is our own people, and we should also care about their lives, actively help them solve practical difficulties in life, gain their approval, and make them feel a sense of intimacy and belonging to the Red Army. Let them slowly dissolve into the big family of our Red Army.

In the end, it was the Red Army soldiers who set an example to influence them, so that the captives could see how the officers and men in the Red Army units were equal and unanimous, that we Red officers and soldiers shared weal and woe, ate the same meals, slept in the same beds, wore the same clothes, no one engaged in specialization, and the officers and men helped each other in harmony and harmony; Our cadres should also be polite, treat the soldiers kindly and cordially, teach them to read and write, so that the prisoners know the dignity of being human beings, enjoy the pleasure of being human beings, and free them from ignorance and numbness. ”

Xiao Hua and the four of them were stunned to listen to Zhang Chengkou's hanging river, crackling and flickering, and opened their mouths in shock, and after a long time, Xiao Hua woke up from the shock, stretched out his thumbs with both hands, and said in a loud voice; "Clever! It's really brilliant! Compared with the commanders and fighters of the army, you are more suitable to be a political commissar than me! ”

"yes, yes! High, the division commander is really tall, at least as tall as a three-story building. Zhang Fengming, who had been influenced by Zhang Cheng's modern language, also praised loudly.

Thinking that the magic weapon of talking about grievances was plagiarized from the chairman, and praised Xiao Hua and Zhang Fengming, the thick-skinned Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little hot, and he said modestly: "Where! Where! I also thought more than others in the war, and now I take it out and talk nonsense, comrades, brother, bear with me! ”

Director Feng Wenbin nodded and said: "Division commander, I think your method of dealing with prisoners is very good, although it is a little unruly, but it does not violate the discipline of our Red Army, I agree to implement it." It's just that this method is so good, should it be reported to the higher authorities and spread throughout the army? ”

Zhang Cheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't report to your superiors for the time being, let's try it out in our division first and see how it works." This matter is more sensitive, to put it mildly, I am a person brought out by Chairman Mao, after the chairman lost the leadership of the Red Army, I can be regarded as being thrown into the cold palace, at present the situation of our Red Army is relatively difficult, more than one thing is better than one less thing, this matter is only known to the five of us. Political Commissar Xiao Hua, Director Feng Wenbin, the two of you are responsible for the transformation of prisoners, and most of the prisoners must be converted into our soldiers, especially radio personnel, artillerymen, machine gunners and other technical arms, and none of them can be left. ”

"Yes! Resolutely complete the task. Xiao Hua and Feng Wenbin stood up and saluted.

"Division commander, I don't know much about the Central Committee, is it really that difficult for our Red Army now?" Zhang Fengming stared at Zhang Cheng and asked cautiously.

Zhang Cheng lowered his voice and said solemnly: "You can forget what I said today after listening to it, and don't reveal it." As everyone knows, under the wise leadership of the chairman, our Red Army launched the Autumn Harvest Uprising, established the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area, successfully joined forces with the troops of General Zhu Lao of the Nanchang Uprising, created the Great Red Army, established the Chinese Soviet Republic, and commanded the Central Red Army to break the three encirclements and suppressions of the Kuomintang Party, and was invincible and invincible. However, after the Soviet Union returned from studying and came to power, they put aside the chairman's movement warfare and guerrilla warfare and practiced the tactics of going head-to-head with an enemy who was ten times more powerful. ”

"Hiss......, Master, your words are too alarmist." Xiao Hua was shocked.

"Shhh Feng Wenbin interrupted in a cold sweat.

"Lao Feng, you stopped it well, we really can't say much about this topic, for today's plan, our main task is to win more battles and continue to grow our team." Xiao Hua continued.

Zhang Cheng also listened to the advice, stopped peddling his private goods in a timely manner, did not say more, and talked with the four about how to report the results of the battle to the superiors.

Subsequently, the party committee of the division unified its understanding on the issue of reporting the results of this battle, that is, in such a chaotic situation, it should try to deal with it in a low-key manner and avoid showing too much sharpness, so that the gun would shoot the first bird.

Our battle report to our superiors only roughly stated: On the orders of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, our Young Communist Division blocked the enemy's 26th Division Zhou Zhiqun's unit, defeated the 26th Division of the Kuomintang Army on the afternoon of 13 September, killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured alive Zhou Zhiqun, commander of the enemy's 26th Division, and captured 3,000 rifles, weapons, ammunition, and war materials.

After Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua signed, they instructed the communication dignitaries to send out the telegram overnight, and after finishing these trivial matters, the time was late at night, and everyone was extremely tired physically and mentally after marching and fighting these days.
