Chapter 678 Guerrilla Detachment

Seeing Peng Xuefeng walking over with Liu Yimin, Zhang Taisheng, commander of the First Regiment of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment, came out of the ranks, saluted Liu Yimin in a standard military posture, and reported loudly: "Commander Liu, Zhang Taisheng, head of the First Regiment of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment, reports to you, the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment has finished platoon, accept your review, please instruct"

Zhang Taisheng was a native of Xishan Village, Guantian Township, Luling County, Jiangxi Province, who joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1932 and was already the chief of staff of the regiment during the Long March. Liu Yimin was ordered to establish the Red Army University, and Zhang Taisheng was also the first batch of students to enter the school.

Peng Xuefeng's qualifications are much older than Liu Yimin's, but Liu Yimin's military exploits are too prosperous, and he has long surpassed many division commanders and army commanders in the Red Army, and has become one of the most prestigious senior generals in our army.

Although I didn't have much contact with Liu Yimin before, everyone knows Liu Yimin's legendary story. Peng Xuefeng knew that although Liu Yimin was open-minded by nature, he had served as the president of the Red Army University and the president of Kang University, and his requirements for military appearance and military discipline were extremely strict, otherwise he would not be able to bring out such a strong army as a teacher. Therefore, although the army had just been reorganized, with only more than 1,000 people, untidy clothing, incomplete weapons, and could not be included in Liu Yimin's legal eyes, Peng Xuefeng still ordered Zhang Taisheng to seriously organize according to the military etiquette and asked Liu Yimin to inspect the troops.

Liu Yimin returned the military salute to Zhang Taisheng, nodded, and walked quickly towards the team.

Standing in front of the team, Liu Yimin began to give the soldiers a full uniform, while softly asking how old they were, where they were from, when they joined the army, whether they were afraid of little devils, and so on.

After the busy work, Liu Yimin stood still in front of the team and said loudly: "After the battle of Xuzhou, the main force abandoned the Henan-Anhui Soviet region and moved to the east and south, and the Japanese army from all walks of life flocked to pursue. The Henan-Anhui-Soviet region completely fell into the hands of the enemy. At this time, there was a unit with only a small number of standard weapons, and the rest were all earthen guns, broadswords, and spears, but they were not afraid, and in accordance with the orders of the Central Committee, the General Headquarters, and the Yangtze River Bureau, they faced the direction of the attack of the little devils, and with the determination to die, they still resolutely advanced into eastern Henan and launched guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Comrades, do you know which unit this glorious unit is? ”

Most of the fighters of the guerrilla detachment were soldiers of the three detachments pulled up by Wu Zhipu, and they were basically the children of Huanghuai peasants who put down their hoes and got up with the Japanese army. After receiving the order, saying that they were going to be reviewed by the chief, the soldiers were full of energy, but unfortunately it was a new unit after all, and many soldiers were not even comfortable with one, two, one, and stood there nervously. When Liu Yimin talked about the glorious deeds of his troops, the soldiers immediately relaxed, and naturally followed those old Red Army soldiers and shouted: "It's us" and "the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army"

The guerrilla detachment shouting "New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment" was naturally the cadres brought by Peng Xuefeng from Zhugou and the cadres and soldiers of the previous brigade of the New Fourth Army led by Xiao Wangdong; shouted "It's us", needless to say, it is a new warrior who got up with Wu Zhipu and fought hard with the little devils.

Liu Yimin stopped the still uneven answer with a smile, and continued: "This answer is not neat, and it does not meet the requirements of our army's majesty. But this is not to blame the soldiers, everyone was originally a farmer who made a sunrise and rested every day, and the small days were moist and moist, and they were all his grandmother's damn little devils, who wanted to kill us, rob us, and invade us, and everyone who harmed us could no longer live with their wives and kangs, so they had to get up and fight with them, and it was understandable that everyone had a short time to join the army, a short training time, and an untidy password. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin's face was blank and he said sharply: "However, as a soldier, we should be strict with our requirements, train strictly, keep our ranks neat, our slogans neat, and our pace neat, and we must have a kind of overwhelming and invincible force In the next step, the guerrilla detachment must train strictly in accordance with the standards of the Red Army's infantry training program, and train the soldiers into qualified soldiers of the New Fourth Army."

As soon as Liu Yimin criticized, the cadres and soldiers were silent. Peng Xuefeng, who was standing behind Liu Yimin, couldn't hold back his face, but he couldn't explain it now, so he could only listen to how Liu Yimin came down to criticize.

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he paused for a while and continued: "The Henan-Anhui region can attack the Xuzhou and Longhai lines to the north, the Pinghan line to the west, the northern Jiangsu to the east, and the southward can directly threaten central Anhui, eastern Anhui, western Anhui, and even the Yangtze River. The strategic position is important, and the economic position is also important. As long as a firm base is established and the Japanese puppet army is repulsed, then there will be money, grain, and people. I can tell you very responsibly that the main force of the Eighth Route Army will go all out to support the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army in establishing the Huaibei base area, and will ask for money, guns, medicine, and people. In a word, it is necessary to develop our army in Huaibei into a strategic group with tens of thousands of troops and strong combat effectiveness. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to start from scratch and build up the troops in accordance with the standards of our army's first-class main force from the very beginning. Let the soldiers learn culture and improve their fighting skills in our army, and become real soldiers of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army who can be literate and martial. That is what I often emphasize, picking up a gun is a combat hero, picking up a hoe is a model of production, and doing mass work is an excellent work team member. This criterion is what I demand from the first class main force of our army, and the whole army should build and develop troops in accordance with this standard. Comrades, do you have the confidence to accomplish this task?"

At this moment, everyone's voices were in unison, and they shouted loudly: "Yes"

Liu Yimin shook his head: "The voice is too small for me to hear." Louder, is there any? ”

The fighters made an earth-shattering cry: "Yes"

Liu Yimin smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm very happy, very satisfied." From the shouts of my comrades, I saw the prototype of another elite army of our army, and I looked forward to it infinitely. Well, the first time I met with the comrades of the guerrilla detachment, I also had to have a greeting gift, right? What do you want? ”

Now it was lively, and the fighters shouted one after another: "guns", "grenades"

Liu Yimin kept laughing, and only when the shouts of the soldiers stopped did Liu Yimin say again: "Okay, in order to congratulate the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army on its victorious eastward advance, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army has decided to equip the guerrilla detachment with weapons and ammunition according to Japanese-style equipment, and there is no shortage of machine guns, small steel cannons, and 38 large covers. In addition, each soldier has two sets of military uniforms and five oceans in summer and winter. After a while, all these equipment and funds were handed over to Commander Peng and distributed to each unit. After that, I will wait to hear the news of the victory of my comrades. ”

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he waved his hand to disband the troops. At this moment, the whole army cheered and jumped out of joy. The old Red Army and the new soldiers were all excited, and they were talking about it one by one, with such a good weapon, which part of the devils should they clean up?

Liu Yimin had a lot to do and did not have much time, so he met with cadres above the company level of the guerrilla detachment on the spot. Among these cadres, in addition to Zhang Taisheng, the commander of the first regiment, Teng Haiqing, the commander of the second regiment, was originally from the Fourth Front Army, fought bravely and tenaciously, was seriously wounded many times, and later became a famous general of the East China Field Army. Tan Youlin, political commissar of the Second Regiment, was a veteran of the Red Army who joined the army in 1930 and was born in the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army. Only Liu Yimin, the political commissar of the First Regiment, was not familiar with the situation of Li Yue, and he himself went out on a mission and did not see him.

Zhang Zhen and Xiao Wangdong are also veteran Red Army cadres who participated in the Long March, and both went to the Red Army University to study. I met the young old principal here, and I felt very cordial, and I talked about work and thoughts around Liu Yimin, and asked about the battle of Taixi, which was very lively.

During the war years, life and death hung on the line, and Liu Yimin was also very happy to see so many cadres who came out of the Red Army, and told them to study and apply the strategies and tactics from the Red Army University and the Anti-Japanese University to the actual situation in the Henan-Anhui border region. This is the Great Plains, which is conducive to the maneuver of the Japanese army. In this way, we have to think of digging trenches and tunnels, and we must dig the trenches into a new transportation network, so that the tanks and cars of the little devils will fall into them and cannot get out, thus limiting the mobility of the Japanese army. Another point is that we should never forget the building of political power. Only by establishing a stable political power can we sit firmly on our shoulders, turn the Henan-Anhui border region and even the entire Huaibei region into our base areas, and solve the problems of food and soldiers necessary for the survival and development of the troops.

Later, Liu Yimin specially discussed with Peng Xuefeng and Wu Zhipu on the issue of base area construction, which was actually the set of experience that Liu Yimin had in Shaanxi and Shandong. However, this Huaibei region is a bit complicated, and it is impossible to carry out land reform, and our army's rations are still mainly relied on buying. In view of this problem, Liu Yimin demanded that Peng Xuefeng and Wu Zhipu immediately set about establishing local political power, establishing a fiscal and taxation system, conscientiously implementing the policy of reducing rents and interest rates, and while developing the troops and doing a good job in the armed struggle, they should also think of ways to organize production and solve the problem of feeding the army and the common people. In a word, it is the base area of the first country, and the people's lives must be guaranteed, which is stronger than the rear controlled by the first country.

Liu Yimin deliberately said to Wu Zhipu: "Old Wu, others say that Xiucai rebelled, and it will not be successful in three years. As soon as you pull the flag and shout, you will be crowded. This shows that unity against Japan conforms to the will of the people. This is the case in everything in the world, that is, our policies should reflect the will of the people. Only in this way will the common people support us and follow us. On the Long March, I said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. I hope that comrades will seriously think about and understand this sentence. ”

Wu Zhipu is an old party member, and the future release of satellites is something that appeared after the conditions changed, and he has no problems later. After listening to Liu Yimin's words, Wu Zhipu held Liu Yimin's hand tightly and said thank you Comrade Liu Yimin for the reminder and the Eighth Route Army for sending charcoal to the guerrilla detachment, and we must conscientiously study and implement Liu Yimin's instructions and uphold and develop the Henan-Anhui border region well.

Liu Yimin immediately ordered the First Baggage Regiment that accompanied the army to the south to complete the weapons and ammunition for the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army, allocate 100,000 yuan in legal currency as funds, and distribute five pieces of ocean and two sets of military uniforms to each soldier. The doctors and nurses selected by Chen Tong and Ni Hua were also ordered to arrive.

For a time, the guerrilla detachment's shotguns were replaced, and the soldiers put on new military uniforms, carried 38 big covers, and put five oceans in their pockets. Wu Zhipu, Zhang Zhen, Xiao Wangdong and several regiment commanders were so happy that they almost jumped up, 100,000 legal currency, a full set of Japanese-style equipment, a small field hospital, gods, what kind of treatment is this, is it simply the main division of the Eighth Route Army

Several people immediately discussed around Peng Xuefeng, from how to expand the army, train troops, and establish political power. In the end, Peng Xuefeng was excited, and sent a telegram to the chairman, the boss, and the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, giving a detailed report on the instructor's support and supplementation of the guerrilla detachment, and the spirit of Liu Yimin's speech when he inspected the troops and met with cadres, and solemnly assured the Central Committee, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army that they would resolutely implement the decision of the Central Committee to advance eastward to resist Japan, cooperate with the troops of the Eighth Route Army to fight in the south, and develop and strengthen the base areas in the Henan-Anhui border region.

After receiving Peng Xuefeng's telegram, he laughed and said to Chen Yun and Zhang Wentian that Liu Yimin is simply the god of wealth of our party and our army, and he is very popular everywhere he goes. It seems that we have to let him go to more places, in that case, the little devil will cry even more, and the various units of our army will grow faster.

The telegram sent by the two bosses, Zhu and Peng, once again affirmed the importance of the guerrilla detachment's eastward advance, and demanded that Peng Xuefeng seize the opportunity of the instructor to lure the enemy south, quickly establish a base area, and when the instructor returns to the north, leave behind a main force and integrate it into the guerrilla detachment sequence to expand and consolidate the base area in the Huaibei region.

Chiefs Ye and Xiang of the New Fourth Army sent a telegram directly to Liu Yimin, saying that they had ordered all units of the New Fourth Army to actively cooperate with the instructors to fight in the south, and asked Liu Yimin to be a guest at the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army when possible.

Peng Xuefeng and Wu Zhipu, who were happy in their hearts, asked Liu Yimin to temporarily mix the guerrilla detachment and the cavalry brigade that followed Liu Yimin, and let the main force bring new troops, even for a few days, so that the soldiers could feel the style and combat effectiveness of the main force.

Liu Yimin thought that he would stay in Qinglong for a few days and observe the movements of the Japanese army, so he agreed to Peng Xuefeng's proposal and asked him to discuss with Hu Laohu, and directly implement the docking of squads with squads, and each squad of the cavalry brigade should lead the guerrilla detachment to one squad, including ideological education and tactical action training, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the guerrilla detachment in a short period of time.

A temporary compilation that completely opened the eyes of the fighters of the partisan detachment.

The cavalry brigade has a small number of instructors among the main brigades, but a high proportion of veterans. It is not easy to train cavalry, and it is even more difficult to raise cavalry. If nothing else, the consumption of feed alone is a big problem. Especially now, the weather is cold, there is no green fodder, and the war horse is so delicate, and it is completely fed by concentrate feed mixed with forage, and the cost is even greater. In addition to the armored regiment, the most expensive unit among the instructors is the cavalry brigade.

As the backbone of the assault force, the armament of the cavalry brigade has also undergone great changes in the past year or so. The soldiers were all one-color cavalry rifles and oriental swords, and each squad was also armed with Bayi automatic rifles and submachine guns. Liu Yimin's requirements for firing artillery on horseback and machine gun shooting on horseback were realized, and the firepower was also very powerful. In particular, after the establishment of the artillery regiment, the firepower of the entire cavalry brigade was raised to a higher level. Fast speed, fierce firepower, and strong assault ability are the true portrayal of the current cavalry brigade.

After Hu Laohu accepted the task, he actively implemented it and quickly completed the organization of the troops. Now it's good, the soldiers teach and learn together during the day, and at night they complain together around the brazier, and the new and old soldiers speak enthusiastically, and the atmosphere is quite warm. The water melted between the two troops and the soldiers.

Considering the strategic position of North China, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, briefly reporting on the rendezvous with Peng Xuefeng's guerrilla detachment after breaking through the Longhai Road, and then suggested that the forces in the Henan-Anhui region should be strengthened, and cadres from Henan and Anwei should be transferred back to the Central Plains Bureau for distribution work, and troops should be transferred to strengthen the armed forces in this region. The instructor plans to transfer a brigade to join up with the guerrilla detachment led by Peng Xuefeng and set up a second-level military region, with Peng Xuefeng as the commander and the head of the transferred unit as the political commissar, to lead the armed struggle in the Henan-Anhui border region in a unified manner. The troops in this area can be assigned to the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army. However, this alone is not enough, and it is suggested that the central authorities and the general headquarters should send key cadres and troops to the south to establish base areas in southern Henan, eastern Henan, and northeastern Anhui. The instructor plans to transfer another brigade to strengthen the forces of northern Jiangsu, and troops can also be transferred to strengthen the forces of northeastern Anhui. The above-mentioned troop movements are subject to the orders of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters.

The chairman sent a telegram back instructing Liu Yimin that after getting rid of the attack of the Japanese heavy army group, he could transfer troops to strengthen the struggle force behind enemy lines in Henan, Anhui and the Soviet Union, and the task at hand was to attract the Japanese army heavy army group to the south and ensure the stability of the various base areas in Shandong.

Liu Yimin didn't live long in Qinglongji. No way, the little devil doesn't cooperate.

After the Japanese divisions pursued to Xuzhou, they found that the Eighth Route Army once again broke through the Jinpu Road and moved south, which meant that the operational plan planned by the base camp to use Xuzhou as bait to attract Liu Yimin's forces to attack Xuzhou was aborted. This time, the Japanese army learned well, and no longer followed the baton of the Eighth Route Army, but gathered troops in Xuzhou, preparing to seize the opportunity of Liu Yimin's southward movement to clear out various districts in Shandong, completely wipe out the resistance forces in Shandong, and restore public order in Shandong.

What kind of line is this, Liu Yimin's original intention was to lead the bull's nose of the Japanese heavy army group to the south again to protect the Shandong base area. If the little devil is not fooled, it means that Liu Yimin has failed strategically. If the little devils and heavy army groups are allowed to carry out a divisional sweep of Shandong, then it will be difficult for the Shandong base area, and if it is not done well, it will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, Liu Yimin had to take action

When he was separated from Peng Xuefeng, Liu Yimin once again told him that the Japanese army in eastern Henan had shrunk into important cities and communication lines because it was afraid of the main attack of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, and it was a good time to develop the Henan-Anhui border area.
