Zunyi, referred to as "Zun", is located in the northern part of Guizhou Province. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Adjacent to Guiyang in the south, Chongqing in the north, and Sichuan Province in the west, it is the throat of Kunming to the north and Chengdu and Chongqing to the south, and it is also an important transportation hub in the southwest region to undertake the north and south, connect the east and west, and connect the river to the sea.

According to the "Zunyi Mansion Chronicles", in the third year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1176), the twelfth generation of Banzhou Tuyang Zhen moved the ruling land from Baijinbao to Mujiachuan (now Zunyi Old City).

After arriving at Mujiachuan, he saw that here "lush forests and bamboos, towering, and strict weather", and immediately decided to build a city here as the inheritance place of the Yang family of Banzhou.

At ten o'clock on January 9, 1935, Zhang Cheng led two thousand officers and soldiers of the Young Communist Division to wear brand-new military uniforms, marched neatly and neatly, and marched into Zunyi City with high spirits.

As soon as they saw the arrival of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, the masses excitedly marched forward, and when the International Division of the Young Communist Party approached the city gate, the Red Army soldiers who were waiting in line immediately boiled over and their slogans shook the sky.

The most advanced city of the International Division of the Young Communist Party was a contingent of meritorious soldiers, who shouted majestic slogans while marching in a neat manner, and all of them wore military medals, which made them look particularly energetic and heroic.

It was followed by the team of the Art Troupe, a military band composed of 40 male members playing marches such as the military song of the International Division of the Young Communist Party as they walked.

Most of the members of the art troupe are still female soldiers, they are dressed in very well-tailored new military uniforms, carrying pistols at their waists, waving their hands vigorously, as soon as they arrive at the downstairs of the city gate, they look at the central leaders in a uniform manner, and they are not weaker than the male soldiers.

This was followed by a column of six brigades, headed by a standard-bearer and two flag guards, and the red flag read "International Division of the Young Communist Party of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" in bold letters.

They walked in unison, wore five-pointed and eight-pointed hats with red cloth on their heads, wore coarse gray military uniforms with red cloth collar badges, and wore military boots of the captured Central Army of the Liberal Democratic Party.

This was followed by the ranks of the artillery regiments, whose cannons advanced in turn from small to large, from low to high, all pulled by tall horses, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Finally, there were the cavalry regiments led by Wang Hu, all of whom rode white horses, skillfully manipulating the horses and walking neatly at the back of the line with small broken steps at the same pace.

The parade lasted half an hour and was spectacular.

The International Division of the Young Communist Party displayed a mighty and majestic lineup in front of everyone, which not only presented a generous gift to the Party Central Committee, but also shocked all the officers and men of the Red Army.

The commander stood on the high city gate tower, watching Zhang Cheng, who he relied on the most, leading his troops into Zunyi City with high spirits, and all kinds of joyful emotions of surprise, satisfaction, and pride came to his heart, which made him feel a lot of emotion.

Even Comrade Bo Gu, who had always been at odds with the commander-in-chief, sighed with surprise: "I didn't know that our Central Red Army still had such a well-trained and well-equipped powerful unit. ”

After the parade, Zhang Cheng was invited by the commander to have dinner at the commander's house, and by the way came to catch up and visit his proud sister Yang who had been talking about him.

When I came to the place where the commander lived, it was originally a villa mansion where the officers of the Guizhou Army lived, and after the Red Army captured Zunyi City, it was assigned to the central leaders to live.

Also living here with the commander are Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Luofu.

Zhang Cheng walked into the house where the commander lived, the house was very warm and comfortable, Sister Jiaoyang was very happy to see Zhang Cheng coming, and pulled him to his side to ask long and short questions.

What caught Zhang Cheng off guard was that Sister Jiaoyang actually asked him a personal question, and Zhang Cheng, who was completely unprepared, had to prevaricate her with the words "The revolution has not yet succeeded, why should the family be", but Sister Jiaoyang was not satisfied, and insisted that Zhang Cheng accept her blind date arrangement, which made Zhang Cheng embarrassed, until the commander opened his mouth to relieve the siege for him.

In addition to Zhang Cheng, Deputy Commander Zhou and Mr. Zhu were also invited by the commander, and after they were full of wine and food, everyone entered the study and sat around a round table, sipping steaming tea.

The commander smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone is very curious about our Red Army hero's Young Communist International Division, and today I invite him over to listen to our Red Army hero talk about the situation of the Young Communist International Division!" ”

"Yes! Fine! I have long been yearning for the heroic unit of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, so let Zhang Cheng introduce it. Mr. Zhu said happily, and everyone echoed.

In the face of the anticipation of so many central leaders, Zhang Cheng, who had already gone through the wind and waves, had no stage fright, and after he cleared his mind, he narrated the various situations of the International Division of the Young Communist Party since its establishment.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and after they learned that Zhang Cheng's troops were nearly 40,000 people, they were even more excited.

Then after hearing Zhang Cheng say that he had "lost" 13,000 captives under the blackmail of the bosses of the major legions, he couldn't laugh or cry at the "intrigues" of Zhang Cheng and the bosses, but they admired Zhang Cheng's broad-mindedness very much, and they were willing to give up more than 10,000 soldiers.

In the end, the commander said: "Even if the International Division of the Young Communist Party conceded 13,000 soldiers, the International Division of the Young Communist Party still had nearly 27,000 people, which is far beyond the establishment of the main army.

It is obviously inappropriate for such a large army to still use the division level. Sooner or later, this issue will have to be resolved, and since everyone is here, how should we arrange it? ”

Mr. Zhu and the commander have always been called Zhu Mao, Zhu is not separated from Mao, and Mao is not separated from Zhu.

As soon as he heard this, he understood the commander's intentions, and immediately suggested: "I think it should be listed as a separate column, considering the seniority of Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua, the rank is slightly lower than that of the corps by half a level, and it belongs to the army level, which is directly under the command of our Red Army headquarters."

There is no need to change the name much, so that the characteristics of the International Division of the Young Communist Party can be maintained, and the feelings of the comrades of the Central Committee of the Communist League can be taken into account, so it will be called the International Column of the Young Communist Party. What do you think? ”

Mr. Zhu's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and the commander also recognized it very much, he nodded and said: "The boss is a very good idea, which not only takes into account the feelings of the veteran leaders, but also allows the International Column of the Young Communist Party to be upgraded to the army. After Zhang Cheng returned, he made good preparations, and after the Politburo meeting was approved, he would officially notify the whole army in writing. ”

Zhang Cheng was naturally overjoyed, although it was not the level of the legion he dreamed of, but positioning his troops as a column, the effect was not much worse, and doing so could also reduce the pressure on Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng was naturally a hundred satisfied, ten thousand satisfied.
