The most difficult thing at the moment is political training. Li Jiansheng, who came from later generations, knew too well the importance of political work, so from the very beginning, he strengthened this work. Not only did he order political workers at all levels to do their work meticulously and effectively, but they also continued to personally teach the recruits. In fact, for these captives, he was not too worried about the military quality, but this ideological work could not be relaxed. As a result, he personally compiled the "Outline for the Rectification and Training of the 18th Army Corps of the Red Army," which, in addition to systematically expounding on military training and armament, also devoted a large chapter to writing down the practices and detailed rules for political and ideological work. Fortunately, the veteran who had been following Li Jiansheng now has a lot of routines; Those party members who came to the army from the localities originally had a set of ideological work, and later absorbed a lot of experience from Li Jiansheng, so they were no longer comparable to the past; As for the more than 300 veteran Red Army soldiers from the Central Soviet District, most of them were military and political masters. With the concerted efforts of these three aspects, Li Jiansheng's thinking became more and more unified.

After writing the "Outline", Li Jiansheng moved his mind, and slightly changed a military camp song "We Are Soldiers" in later generations and turned it into a new song "created" by himself, and sent it to the troops:

What is different about us soldiers, just because we are all wearing simple military uniforms.

What is different about us soldiers, since I left my hometown, it is difficult to see my father and mother.

It's the same when it comes to saying it's different, it's all the years of youth, and they're all hot-blooded.

In fact, it is the same to say that it is different, the same footprint, leaving the mountains and rivers long.

We are soldiers, but they are different, with the cold moon of the mountains on their heads, and their bodies covered in snow, rain, wind and frost.

We are soldiers, but we are different, for the sake of the people's tranquility, we hold the guns in our hands.

It's the same when it comes to saying it's different, all of them are eager for glory and winning glory.

It is actually the same to say that it is different, and the same style is flying on the banner of the Red Army.

That's what we're soldiers.

……

In just a few days, all units sang this newly composed song by the regiment commander everywhere, and as for the original "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" and "Return from Target Shooting," they were also sung every day.

That's not all, Li Jiansheng specially proposed to hold a grand commendation meeting for the whole army in Yizhang. The location is in Daping, just outside Yizhang County. In addition to continuing to promote the skill competition of "large-scale military training and large-scale production," what is more important is to commend a number of advanced people. As the Red 5th Regiment with the greatest contribution and the greatest battle losses in the second anti-encirclement and suppression, this time it has already been fully equipped, with a total of more than 400 new recruits, and all the veterans who were originally slightly injured have also returned to the team, and have returned to the standard establishment. Chief of Staff Wang Hanying presided over the meeting, and Huang Suxian, political commissar of the corps, announced the commendation decision. In addition to some meritorious soldiers, such as You Juncai, who killed the enemy's leader, and the Red Fifth Division, which blocked the front and fought at the rear, and other individual and collective meritorious service, the most eye-catching thing is that the Red Fifth Regiment was awarded the title of "Baishidu Heroic Regiment" in addition to recording collective special merits. Li Jiansheng, the commander of the regiment, personally awarded the regimental flag of the "Baishidu Heroic Regiment" to the Red Fifth Regiment.

Li Jiansheng just remembered that the troops of later generations did this. Studying history, he knew that many of the troops in later generations had a glorious history in their previous lives, such as the "Tashan Heroic Regiment" and so on. Therefore, he plans to do the same thing this time. As soon as this proposal was proposed, it was supported by the leaders of the legion. However, even he, the initiator, did not expect that this effect would be so good. For example, immediately after this meeting, all divisions and regiments launched unprecedented military training activities, and everyone was holding back their strength to make such a flag for their troops next time, and the regiment commander should also give the flag to the regiment commander. As for Li Bao, the commander of the Red 5th Regiment, the old Red Army from the Central Soviet District, when he saw the ruthlessness of the other troops, he laughed happily, and at the same time, he also intensified the training of the Red 5th Regiment, and the slogan was still copied from Li Jiansheng's accidental words: "Always one step ahead of others", and the effect was equally amazing!

As soon as this aspect was on the right track, Li Jiansheng's main focus shifted, and he concentrated his efforts to assist Xu Zhengfang in grasping logistics, baggage, and equipment. At present, Xu Zhengfang is already a member of the party committee of the corps, and has been promoted to deputy chief of staff of the corps, in charge of the logistics office, the equipment department, the baggage regiment, the cooking class, the field hospital, the clothing factory, etc. Li Jiansheng found him, mainly dealing with the following things:

First, the clothing factory stepped up the production of equipment, and it was necessary to ensure that each soldier had more than two sets of uniforms, including one set of gray cloth military uniform and one set of camouflage military uniform, and each soldier had more than three pairs of shoes. Each fighter should have a quilt. Where the processing capacity is insufficient, it is possible and encouraged to use the previous military + resident method to purchase military uniforms, shoes, and quilts from the homes of residents in the base area in the name of customization. When annihilating five enemy divisions, some of the captured soldiers were given uniforms and shoes, and the military leather shoes taken from the dead soldiers of the enemy were distributed to the existing units according to their size.

Second, field hospitals have stepped up the preparation of medicines and the replenishment of medical personnel. In addition to opening pharmacies in various counties to ensure that residents use medicines through normal channels, Li Jiansheng demanded that a large number of medicines be secretly purchased from other places through existing channels and through money.

Thirdly, nowadays, the residents in the base area, as well as the troops, have the habit of raising pigs, and a large number of pork is on the market. Li Jiansheng asked Xu Zhengfang to make use of the way ordinary people in the south make smoked meat, bacon and wind-blown meat, and store meat in a planned way. Moreover, as far as he knows, the Yao and Zhuang tribes also have secret methods for making meat, and they can ask the relevant old people to assist in making them. It is required that this meat can be used by the whole army for more than half a year.

Fourth, as much as possible, we should purchase horses and mules through channels, so that the army's baggage regiments and field hospitals can be converted into mules and horses, or partially turned into mules and horses.

Fifth, in addition to being equipped with the necessary equipment -- such as the engineer shovels that they "invented" -- they must also be equipped with all kinds of equipment for building bridges, digging holes, and opening mountain roads, and they must also be partially mule and horse-like. It is necessary to strengthen the training of engineering units to cross mountains and open roads and build bridges when encountering rivers!

It can be said that every time Li Jiansheng mentions one, Xu Zhengfang writes one with suspicion. Because, there are many things that he doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to ask too much, so he just decided to implement it immediately. He always felt that the young Legion Commander was an enigma, and there was always a reason why he asked for it. He didn't know that Li Jiansheng did this, in essence, to make full material preparations for the Long March that might appear in the future! And it's a targeted preparation!

Once these tasks were assigned, Li Jiansheng plunged headlong into it and personally gave three lessons to the sappers, the first of which was how to build a pontoon bridge.
