Chapter 31 Welcoming the Red Fifth Army
Not to mention the expansion of the Red 28th Regiment, the Red 31st Regiment was also expanded at the same time, and now it is also the establishment of four battalions. Huang Kecheng, Wu Zhonghao, Tang Tianji, Deng Hua, Zhao Erlu and other founding fathers of later generations are now serving as military commanders of regiments or battalions in this regiment! This once again made Li Jiansheng a little confused. Because in his memory, the Red 31st Regiment actually only had three battalions. The 2nd battalion only existed for a few months, and by February 1929 it was withdrawn, and the soldiers were merged into the 1st and 3rd battalions, and from the current point of view, this strength is obviously more, and even the 4th battalion has been reorganized, and it seems that the possibility of this withdrawal will be reduced in the future!
After a while, I thought, why is it that it is a little different from history? It seems that there are more Red Army soldiers now than there are in history! After thinking about it again, it seems that after coming here, relying on the advantages of this unpredictable prophet, under the leadership of the great man, he continued to attack the enemy, and the number of enemies killed did not decrease, and the number of prisoners was much greater than in history. Come to think of it, because of the abandonment of this group, the strength of this Red Army unit has increased a lot now!
Li Jiansheng sighed while thinking about it, but after a while, he saw the guard messengers who had been guarding Mao, Zhu and others coming straight to his side, and he estimated that something was wrong at the moment. Sure enough, as soon as the young man saw him, he immediately ran over and sent a direct message: the chief told him to go at once.
Li Jiansheng was a little untouched, and he didn't know what was going on, but he still immediately followed the young man to see the chief. Tidy up your clothes while jogging. Several chiefs are there. As soon as they saw him come in, they all greeted him happily. Li Jiansheng respectfully saluted the leaders, and guessed in his heart: It is estimated that there is a new task, and I don't know what it is!
Sure enough, when several leaders saw this mighty Li Jiansheng, they smiled similarly. In the end, Mr. Zhu spoke. It turned out that after discussion at the meeting of the Military Commission of the Red Fourth Army, it was decided that he would take the second battalion and go down the mountain with Chief of Staff Wang Erzhuo to meet the Red Fifth Army of the Pingjiang Uprising!
Yes!?
Is this the case?
How could it be yourself? -- Of course, he doesn't remember very clearly who went to greet him in history, but it seems that He Changgong, Bi Zhanyun, Xia Yan, Zhu Yiyue, Zhang Wei, and others led the special service battalion and independent battalion of the Red Fourth Army and the Lianhua County Red Guard Brigade to form the North Road Action Committee to pick them up. At the moment, the army looked neat and reported: Guarantee the completion of the task!
In fact, Li Jiansheng also knew in his heart that several old chiefs let themselves take the second battalion like this, probably because they watched themselves win several battles. And now to meet the Red Fifth Army, on the way to experience the usual big battle! However, the old leaders of the Red Fifth Army are all people they respect, and it is amazing to be able to see these people.
Not to mention that Li Jiansheng's heart blossomed, he hurriedly returned to the camp to mobilize the troops, and then went down the mountain with Wang Erzhuo to meet the Red Fifth Army. However, it was said that as early as mid-July, because his identity was exposed, Huang Gongluo, the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 5th Independent Division, took the lead in the uprising; On the 22nd, Mr. Peng, Teng Daiyuan and others led the first regiment to launch the Pingjiang Uprising, and Ying and Huang Gongluo revolted. After the Pingjiang Uprising, the Hunan warlords gathered six regiments of troops for a siege. On 1 August, the Red Fifth Army withdrew from Pingjiang County and fought in Pingjiang, Liuyang, Wanzai, Xiushui, and Tonggu in Jiangxi, and Tongshan in Hubei, where it waged guerrilla warfare and opened up revolutionary base areas in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi. In the middle, they had the intention of rendezvous with the Red Fourth Army once, but because of the traitor's informant, the road was blocked by the enemy, and in the end it was unsuccessful. And now, the Red Fifth Army, after a certain amount of repair, decided to join the Red Fourth Army again. Several leaders of the Red Fourth Army received the news and made such a decision. Of course, there is a slight deviation from historical events that among the people who went to pick up, in addition to Wang Erzhuo, He Changgong, Bi Zhanyun, Xia Yan, Zhu Yiyue, Zhang Wei and several others also went, and the troops led by them, including the special battalion and the second battalion of the military headquarters of the Red Fourth Army, and the Red Guard Brigade of Lianhua County, jointly formed the North Road Action Committee. The original independent battalion followed Lin Dashuai's battalion this time to carry out operations outside!
However, it was said that Li Jiansheng took the second battalion, together with the special battalion led by Bi Zhanyun, and went down the mountain directly with Wang Erzhuo, He Changgong and other leaders, and under the leadership of the Lotus Red Guard Brigade, they rushed to the Jiudu area almost effortlessly, and the troops had to continue to advance, but Li Jiansheng, who was familiar with history, vaguely remembered that the Red Fifth Army seemed to have met with the Red Fourth Army North Road Action Committee in this area, so he immediately reported his thoughts to several leaders. The chiefs, as soon as they met, confirmed that it was reasonable to rendezvous in this area, and at the same time put the troops on alert, in case it was necessary to go out to attack the enemy and meet the Red Fifth Army, they must also be able to immediately enter the battle. Fortunately, whether it is Bi Zhanyun's special battalion or Li Jiansheng's second battalion, the combat effectiveness is among the best, so there is no need to worry too much. However, things went very smoothly, and after a short time, Yang Ning, commander of the first company of Li Jiansheng's second battalion, came to report to a person in charge of the Lotus Red Guard Brigade, saying that the personnel who fought at the front station had already confirmed that after Peng, Teng, and several others led their troops to occupy Wanzai County in Jiangxi, they passed through Zhuping, Xicun, Xuanfeng Town, and other places, and smoothly entered the border of Lianhua County, and came over here. Wang Erzhuo, He Changgong and others immediately got up to prepare and went to greet them, and they were not far from Jiu, when they saw a team turning over the mountain. The second battalion and the special battalion are both first-class alert, but Li Jiansheng has good eyesight, and among so many people, he is afraid that he is the only one who recognizes Mr. Peng. The handsome one next to him must be far away! Seeing that it was really this group of people, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and ran to report to Wang Erzhuo and others. Wang Erzhuo, He Changgong and others had already seen this army, and they also guessed that it was Peng and Teng's men, and immediately greeted them. The two sides were so unhappy to meet. Although Li Jiansheng knew these people, which were all in the history books of later generations, he could only pretend not to know them at this time, and he also knew several leaders of the Red Fifth Army as several leaders of the Red Fourth Army were introduced. This introduction was still carried out by the underground party organization and the leading personnel who came to take over. As soon as I introduced it, several pairs of big hands were tightly clenched together.
Very excited, Mr. Peng shook hands with Wang Erzhuo's people one by one, and of course held Li Jiansheng's hand tightly; Teng Daiyuan and the others also shook Li Jiansheng's hand tightly. Li Jiansheng was so excited that he couldn't react for a long time. Fortunately, after experiencing Zhu and Mao's Jinggangshan Division, Li Jiansheng was much better this time, but while sighing that these two hands were powerful, he organized the troops to be responsible for the perimeter guard.
After the two troops converged, they moved in the direction of Xincheng through Sanwan and Gucheng. On December 10, they arrived at Ninggang New Town, where the main force of the Red Fourth Army led by Mao and Zhu had already been waiting, and the two armies met victoriously. Li Jiansheng, who once again witnessed this historical fact, was full of emotion. He knew that the victorious rendezvous of the Red Fourth Army and the Red Fifth Army would greatly strengthen the revolutionary armed forces on the border and lay a solid foundation for the next stage of base work!
