After the officers above the company level arrived, a military meeting was held. The atmosphere was very serious, Ouyang Jian glanced at everyone and said majestically: "Comrades, the Central Bureau ** order: The Jiujiang Independent Column of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army will be formally formed, and the Military Commission will appoint me as the commander of the independent column, Comrade Mao Zetan as the political commissar, Comrade Li Guangda as the chief of staff, and Comrade Zhang Hanfu as the director of the Political Department. The Jiujiang Independent Column has 6 detachments under its jurisdiction, and the first detachment is the leader Su Yu! The 2nd Detachment Leader Luo Ronghuan, the 3rd Detachment Leader Xiao Ke, the 4th Detachment Leader Xiao Feng, the 5th Detachment Leader Song Renqiang, and the 6th Detachment Leader Zhang Shiying. ”

Ouyang Jian continued: "The deputy detachment leaders and company platoon commanders of each detachment continue. However, each detachment should add a political commissar, and below there is a list of political commissars of the detachment announced by Political Commissar Mao. After Mao Zetan announced the list of political commissars of each detachment, Ouyang Jian continued: "According to the report of the enemy situation of the hidden arrow, the 15th Brigade of the Jiangxi Army is currently stationed in Yongxiu County. The 5th Division of the Jiangxi Army has begun to advance to De'an County, and the location of De'an County is very important, so it is inferred that the 5th Division of the Jiangxi Army should station at least one brigade in De'an County. ”

"According to the situation of the 15th Brigade of the Gan Army stationed in Yongxiu County, it can be concluded that the 5th and 6th Divisions of the Gan Army will not move north again, and they will stay to deal with us. Comrades, do not think that we will be happy if we annihilate a single regiment of the enemy army in a hearty manner, the enemy army will be more careful, and they will take corresponding countermeasures to constantly compress our living space. At the moment our forces are still too weak to fully confront the enemy. Therefore, the next step is to break up the whole into parts, accumulate small victories into big victories, and launch guerrilla warfare against the enemy. ”

"In the next step, we will use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to deal with the enemy and continue to accumulate strength. I demand that all units resolutely implement the established tactics and bring down the enemy. War is about logistics, and you have to work more on the enemy's logistics and supplies, and hit his seven inches. Su Yu! "Here!" "The area of activity of your detachment is Xingzi County. Xingzi County is adjacent to Yongxiu County, and your target is the 15th Brigade of the Jiangxi Army, so that he will not be able to live in peace for a moment! "Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! ”

"Shock!" "Here!" "Your detachment is pulling to Jiujiang County to operate, mainly to harass operations, to attack the enemy frequently, and your task is mainly to attack the enemy's transportation lines." "Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! "Xiao Feng!" "Here!" "Your detachment is pulled to Jing'an County for activities, Jing'an County is located on the west side of Nanchang, the purpose is to maintain pressure on Nanchang and drag down Liu Shiyi's troops stationed in Nanchang!" "Yes, resolutely complete the task!" "Zhang Shiying's main goal is to harass the Gan army in De'an County and drag the enemy army to the greatest extent."

Ouyang Jian's expression softened a little and continued: "For the troops fighting on the outside line, each detachment carries 5,000 oceans, and there is no problem in meeting your needs for three months of combat. Not only must we fight bravely to kill the enemy, but we must also have some security in our lives, so that you will not be hungry and hungry and affect the battle. "Laughter from below." One thing I must warn you is not allowed to expand the ranks without permission, because in the current state of the army, there are not many soldiers, but the fine. The combat attrition base is responsible for replenishing troops, understand? "Understood!"

"Column leader, what is our detachment doing?" Song Ren was in a hurry. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Your detachment, including Luo Ronghuan's detachment, follow me to defend the Tongluo Zhai base. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, isn't there too little force to defend the base!" Mao Zetan said worriedly. Ouyang Jian continued: "The terrain in the Jiuhua Mountain area is complicated, and the large army cannot be deployed. In particular, the terrain of Tongluo Village is dangerous, and it is not easy for the enemy to capture it. Even if we are captured, we will not be afraid, the secret passage will allow us to evacuate safely. ”

"Political commissar, as long as we hold out for ten days and half a month, the enemy army will automatically retreat, because the logistics cannot support their continuous operations. Don't worry, I have a way to defend Tongluo Village. At present, the clothing factory is stepping up the production of military uniforms, and after five days, we will all change our clothes, and then hold an uprising pledge meeting, not only to call on the people to boost morale, but also to show the military might of our Red Army in a big way. Comrades, take advantage of the time in the past few days to make preparations, and after the swearing-in meeting is over, all departments will set off. ”

As soon as everyone dispersed, the telegraph operator sent another telegram. Ouyang Jian and Mao Zetan entered into a discord. "What instructions!" Ouyang Jian handed the telegram to Mao Zetan and said, "Comrade Enlai instructed that the dark arrow is not suitable to stay in Yunshui County, and asked us to escort it to Ruijin safely." I'll go to the Four Seas Grain Store, and you go to the quilt factory. ”

Early the next morning, a horse-drawn carriage quietly hit the road. Outside the South City Gate, Ouyang Jian held Li Kenong's hand and said: "Comrade Zhenzhong, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and Enlai's decision is right." At present, Ruijin is the safest base area, which is conducive to the rapid development of Dark Arrow. ”

Li Kenong was a little reluctant and said: "Comrade Ouyang Jian, the enemy will pounce soon, the situation is not optimistic, take care!" "Rest assured, Comrade Epicenter, I have the confidence to deal with the enemy!" Ouyang Jian turned to Shangguan Yun and said, "Sister, have you said goodbye to your father?" "I said goodbye last night." "Remember to escort the epicenter comrades to Ruijin safely, in the future, as hunters of dark arrows, you must absolutely obey the command, the invisible front is more important and cruel." "Big brother, don't worry! I will not fail your trust. Also, don't take Madame's affairs to heart! Shangguan Yun was a little gloomy.

"I see, take care along the way!" Ouyang Jian shook hands with all the team members one by one. In the end, Ouyang Jian and Li Kenong embraced, at this time, silence is better than sound, there are no superfluous words, and they wave goodbye to each other. On the city gate, Mu Shixiong and Dabao stood side by side, Mu Shixiong's unrestrained face seemed to reveal some warmth, as if he was controlling himself. "Sister Shangguan, take care all the way!" Dabao's eyes moistened. The carriage gradually moved away, but Mu Shixiong and Dabao were still standing, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Three days later, in the headquarters of the column, a new military uniform was displayed. The fabric of the military uniform is dark green, and the military uniform is a short jacket with a slightly tightened bottom, and the style is very chic and novel. If you look closely, you can see that the collar badge sewn with red flannel on the collar of the jacket is very eye-catching, there are two pockets on the chest, and the officer's uniform is slightly different from the soldier's deputy in that there are two more pockets underneath. The left arm of the jacket has a triangular badge with black letters on a white background, and the word "Red Army" is hand-embroidered on it. The military trousers are moderately fat and look slender with the top. The elbows and shoulders of the blouse, the knees and hips of the trousers are visibly thickened, and there are sewing reinforcement threads to prevent wear and tear.

There are three types of military uniforms: large, medium and small. The military hat is also dark green, with a slight octagonal appearance, and the five-pointed star is also sewn with red velvet. At the beginning, Ouyang Jian took out the drawings to show them, and many people did not agree with the style of the military uniform. Ouyang Jian talked eloquently, saying that this style of military uniform can save a lot of fabrics, and the purpose is to be diligent and thrifty. At the same time, Ouyang Jian calculated an account for everyone, if a set of military uniforms can save 2 feet of fabric, what ······. That's a good reason, what does it mean to save? There was no reason for anyone to refute it, and in the end everyone unanimously agreed.

Ouyang Jian looked at the temporary new military uniform, although it was very different from his imagination, it was already very good. Zhang Hanfu was a little impatient, so he chose a medium-sized military uniform to put on. He was tall and slender, with a set of temporary military uniforms, and suddenly the house was full of brilliance, looking chic and dignified, and there was a hint of might. The people around him praised him, and everyone had a love for beauty, not to mention Zhang Hanfu, a "bourgeoisie" who lived in a big city and had been to the Soviet Union, so he was very concerned about the appearance of the army. Zhang Hanfu admired himself in the mirror and absolutely agreed with Ouyang Jian's "creativity".

Zhang Hanfu took the lead in changing his clothes, and the combat staff officers, two female newspaper operators, and several guards in the column also rushed to change their clothes, and everyone made a mess. Ouyang Jian wants this effect, the independent column must not only be strong in combat and complete in weapons and equipment, but also lead the way in terms of military appearance and appearance. Ouyang Jian knew that there were differences in the color of the Red Army uniforms in various places, and the styles were slightly different, and the only ones that were the same were the red collar badge and the red hat badge, so it would not cause great controversy in the style of the military uniform.

When everyone was in a mess, Ouyang Jian checked the equipment of individual soldiers. On the table are cloth shoes (there is no way, only hair shoes can be matched in the current state), a thin quilt, and backpack straps. Military satchels, armed belts, bullet bags, grenade bags, rice bags, leg ties, an oil umbrella, the only thing missing is a military water bottle, there is no way to equip it under the existing conditions. Frankly, there are some things that have been purchased one after another before. If you don't prepare, you can't distribute these things even in front of you.

Five days later, the troops lined up in the square in front of the county government, and more than 2,000 people were uniformly dressed, with bright red collar badges and bright red cockades, like red flowers waiting to be released. The people of the county town spontaneously gathered to watch, and shocked expressions appeared on their faces. What the Red Army was like was probably deep in their hearts. Ouyang Jian was wearing a straight new military uniform, with a resolute face under the cockade, and what was different was that he was wearing a pair of shiny riding boots under his feet. First, Ouyang Jian made a shocking declaration of uprising, and then Mao Zetan made a stirring political speech.

Finally, Ouyang Jian announced a column-type military parade, a bright red flag was waving in the wind, behind the standard-bearers Ouyang Jian, Li Guangda, Mao Zetan, and Zhang Hanfu walked side by side, and behind them were the detachments in a column-type formation, and each chief officer walked in front of the formation. The parade troops walked around the main streets of the county seat, which not only gave the officers and men a good time, but also cultivated a sense of pride as Red Army soldiers, and also made the people firmly remember this mighty division.

After the parade, Su Yu, Xiao Ke, and Xiao Feng led their subordinates to set off. Ouyang Jian and others saw them off. The strength of each detachment is 300 men, which is basically a battalion. Outside the city, Ouyang Jian held the hands of the three people and said, "Before parting, I only have one word, destroy the enemy and save yourself." Get the biggest win with the least cost. Political Commissar Mao Zetan said: "You are both a combat team and a task force. Everywhere they went, they had to secretly mobilize the masses to form militia organizations, and they could be given the weapons and ammunition they had captured. ”

"Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief and political commissar will ensure that the task will be completed!" The three raised their hands and saluted, and Ouyang Jian and the others returned the military salute. Later, the three detachments rushed to different directions in a column, watching his subordinates disappear into the lofty mountains, Ouyang Jian knew that the difficult road of conquest had begun. End of the first part.
