When the whole division was in full swing for the large-scale training, Zhang Cheng, as the division commander, was not idle, he locked himself in the conference room every day, studying the current situation of the enemy and the enemy against the map on the wall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the retreat of the Red Third and Red Fifth Army Corps, the International Division of the Young Communist Party has been in a relatively prominent position in northern Fujian, and this situation is extremely unfavorable.

Because the Young Communist Division quickly annihilated the enemy's 26th Division and 46th Brigade with lightning speed, the enemy army was temporarily in confusion and confusion, but after a long time, once the enemy woke up, he would carry out a frantic counterattack on the Young Communist Division.

After discovering that the situation was extremely unfavorable, Zhang Cheng's cold sweat flowed out in an instant, and an emotion called fear arose. Therefore, he resolutely ordered the whole division to force the crossing of the Min River tomorrow morning, and the target was to reach Tuancun southeast of Lichuan, and to use the Red Third Division stationed in this area as horns and echo each other from afar, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy.

At the same time, he sent a reconnaissance battalion as the vanguard overnight to set out immediately to open the way for the whole division, and to closely monitor the movements of the enemy troops in the nearby area, and to be ready to adapt to any situation at any time.

On the evening of the 21st, the whole division retreated peacefully to the regimental village, and the next morning Zhang Cheng immediately arranged for the deployment of the defensive areas of each regiment, and Zhang Cheng, who was familiar with history, knew that Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai, and others of the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintang would launch the Fujian Incident next month, and there would be no major battles in the next month, which gave the Young Communist Division a relatively stable environment to complete the reorganization and training of the whole division.

At 14:30 p.m., the Young Communist Division held a commendation meeting for fighting at Wangjiawan, where the division headquarters was stationed, and the organs directly under the division headquarters and various regiments all sent representatives of meritorious service to participate, plus the new corps, the Red Third Division, and the common people nearby, a total of about 15,000 people watched the meeting.

Feng Wenbin, director of the division's political department, presided over the meeting, political commissar Xiao Hua made a summary report on the battle, and then Zhang Cheng came to the stage to announce the units and individuals who had been awarded for meritorious service.

Zhang Cheng first read out the order of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission on giving the Young Communist Party International Division a collective first-class meritorious service, and then read out the divisional party committee's collective first-class meritorious service to the First Regiment of the Young Communist Party, the heavy machine gun battalion, the sniper company, the reconnaissance battalion, and the health brigade; The 2nd Regiment of the Young Communist Party, the 3rd Regiment of the Young Communist Party, the Artillery Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, and the Engineer Battalion were recorded as collective second-class merits; Orders were given to the baggage battalion, the teaching battalion, and the communications section to record the collective third-class merit.

When Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua walked in front of them, all the representatives of the meritorious service units immediately saluted the two leaders, and then Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua presented pennants and certificates of merit to the deputies.

The soldiers on the field were very solemn in the process of awarding awards, Zhang Cheng Xiaohua issued pennants one by one, one issued certificates, and one unit after another went on in turn.

The soldiers of the 3rd Red Division and the nearby residents gathered around to watch, and the solemn scene also infected them, no one made a sound, although they did not understand the mood of the old Red Army, but they also knew that it was disrespectful to the Young Communist Division to make different noises in this atmosphere.

This kind of solemn scene did not burst into thunderous applause until all the meritorious units were presented with awards. Then an even more exciting moment came, and Division Commander Zhang Cheng and Political Commissar Xiao Hua were going to wear military merit medals and big red flowers to individuals who had made meritorious contributions.

In the battle of ambushing the enemy's 26th Division on the afternoon of the 13th, Wang Erdonkey marched forward bravely and directly captured Zhou Zhiqun, the commander of the enemy's 26th Division.

They were Zhang Daya, a soldier of the blocking company who killed seven officers and two machine guns in the ambush battle, and Li Rushan, a soldier of the heavy firepower company who blocked the enemy's retreat with a heavy machine gun in the blocking battle......

After the first prize was awarded, 56 soldiers who had been awarded second-class meritorious service and 138 soldiers who had been awarded third-class meritorious service came to the stage to receive the awards.

When Wang Erdonkey drove the donkey to the shelf and looked at the loudspeaker on the stage, he was confused. He had never seen such a big scene, he was so flustered that he didn't know what to do, when he whispered to the speaker to ask the host what to say, it also caused the audience to laugh, and finally he used all his strength to roar loudly: "Meritorious service is glorious!" ”

This roar resonated with all the meritorious servicemen, and almost every meritorious soldier burst into tears and shouted loudly: "Meritorious service is glorious!" ”

This roar was truly shocking to all the soldiers of the Young Communist Division, including the old Red Army and the captured soldiers who had just been transformed into the New Red Army!

Bang Bang Bang ......

The audience erupted in thunderous applause again.

Meritorious service is glorious, and special merit is the most glorious! This scene swelled up in the hearts of all the fighters, especially the soldiers of the New Red Army, for the meritorious soldiers on the stage, and even jealousy!

Looking at Wang Erdonkey, who was wearing a medal and a big red flower on the stage, all the soldiers had a similar thought that "the eldest husband should be born like this, and he can replace him".

Oh, yes! What kind of thing is he's a king and two donkeys? Isn't it just a cowherd baby, such a person can also make special merits, then my XXX is no worse than him, why can he stand on the stage and receive meritorious awards, and I can only watch from the audience, I also want to make great merits, special merits!

At this moment, the captives who had just been transformed into Red Army soldiers also had a lot of emotion, they also participated in the commendation meeting when they were soldiers in the Kuomintang, but most of the commendations were officials, and even if there were a few soldiers occasionally, they were only related to the officials, and they were just asked to gild and frame the façade.

However, at the commendation meeting of the Red Army, most of the commendations were ordinary soldiers, and the combat exploits they made were all made in battle, and they were unanimously affirmed and envied by all officers and men.

Finally, Zhang Cheng once again took the stage and made a brief and forceful speech, highly appraising and praising the heroes who had performed outstanding in this battle, and encouraging them to make persistent efforts, bravely kill the enemy, and make new contributions to the people.

Finally, the commendation meeting ended successfully with the singing of the "Military Song of the International Division of the Young Communist Party".

On the second day, Zhang Cheng came to the prisoner camp to inspect, and Feng Wenbin, director of the division's political department, welcomed Zhang Cheng into the house and reported to Zhang Cheng in detail on his work in the past few days.

Feng Wenbin said: "After Political Commissar Xiao Hua held a grievance meeting, the captive soldiers actively wanted to join our army. In view of these prisoners, who were of mixed quality and quality, the comrades of our Political Department and the Security Department carried out three strict inspections and screenings of all the prisoners, namely, class, work, and ideology.

A total of 156 reactionary diehards and ruffians were found, and eight reactionaries who had aroused great public anger and committed heinous crimes were shot to death. For the 37 technical officers (including artillerymen, machine gunners, cavalry, signal soldiers, medical soldiers, engineers, etc.), we arranged for the most patient female comrades to go to guide and persuade them, and under the patient guidance of the female comrades, they have agreed to join our army; The remaining 211 people were detained separately and re-educated through labor was implemented.

For the nearly 2,000 captive soldiers whose identities are relatively innocent, we have organized them into three battalions of the new corps, and the first stage has concentrated on studying ideological and political work, and the results have been very good, and a relatively good foundation has been laid for the second phase of large-scale military training. In particular, yesterday's commendation meeting had an extremely positive impact on the prisoners, and after watching the commendation meeting, the enthusiasm of the prisoners more than doubled. ”

After listening to the report, Zhang Cheng was quite satisfied with the work of the Political Department, verbally praised Feng Wenbin, and then told him to guard against arrogance and rashness, to reward comrades who have made great progress in ideological transformation, and at the same time to do a good job in monitoring the ideological dynamics of the recruits, so as to prevent enemy special personnel from infiltrating our army and causing sabotage.

In the following days, Zhang Cheng inspected the fortifications built by various units, put forward some suggestions for rectification of some defects, and exhorted all units to heighten vigilance, combine light and dark at their posts, strengthen ties with local guerrillas, and prevent enemy troops from sneaking in. At the same time, all regimental headquarters are required to take turns to rest and recuperate and conduct training, so as to continuously improve their military quality and technical and tactical level.

Zhang Cheng personally gave lectures to the grassroots officers, teaching the officers to study tactics, command, infantry and artillery coordination tactics, sports tactics, guerrilla tactics, sparrow tactics, and so on.
