For the name of the Red Seventh Army, Li Jiansheng still knows about it. This corps was also historically one of the main forces of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

In fact, as early as February 1933, according to the order of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the Red Tenth Army was transferred from the northeast of Jiangxi to the Central Soviet Region and incorporated into the Red First Army. On June 7, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided to reorganize the Red Tenth Army into the Red Seventh Army Corps. On October 28, the Red Seventh Army was formally established, with the corps commander Xun Huaizhou and political commissar Xiao Jinguang under the jurisdiction of the 19th Division: division commander Xun Huaizhou (concurrently, later Zhou Jianping), political commissar Xiao Jinguang (concurrently, later Lu Zhenqiu); Twentieth Division: Division Commander Li Jukui (Later Su Yudai), Political Commissar Li Xiangwu; 34th Division: Division Commander Zhou Zikun (later Peng Shaohui), Political Commissar Tan Zhenlin (later Cheng Cuilin).

On July 6, 1934, in order to alleviate the military pressure on the Central Soviet Region, the Red Seventh Army Corps was reorganized into the "Northward Anti-Japanese Advance Team" in Ruijin, Jiangxi, and went to Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Soviet Regions, with the commander-in-chief Xun Huaizhou and political commissar Le Shaohua. In October, it joined the Red Tenth Army in Chongxi, Jiangxi, and according to the instructions of the central government, the two divisions were combined into the Red Tenth Army and continued to move north. The headquarters of the Red Seventh Army was reorganized into the 19th Division, with division commander Xun Huaizhou, political commissar Nie Hongjun, and chief of staff Wang Ruzhi. On December 14, he was defeated at Tanjiaqiao in Huangshan, Anhui Province and retreated to Jiangxi. In January 1935, the Red Tenth Army was surrounded by the National Revolutionary Army in Huaiyushan, most of them were scattered, and only more than 1,000 people escaped under the leadership of Su Yu, Liu Ying and others, and then the unit insisted on guerrilla warfare in the local area until 1937, when it was reorganized into the second detachment of the New Fourth Army and put into the battlefield of the War of Resistance against Japan.

Unexpectedly, after the Red Seventh Legion was renamed, because of its own arrival, it actually rebuilt this legion. Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng smiled a little bitterly. After a while, I thought, this is not enough, my temporary Red 15th Army Corps, the number was fortunately revoked, otherwise I really don't know how the Red 15th Army was formed later. You must know that in China's modern history, the 15th Red Army Corps is also a remarkable army, and it is also one of the main forces of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

According to the official history, on September 18, 1935, after the Red 25th Army, which had been left behind in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region, crossed the Wei River, it joined forces with the Red 26th Army and the Red 27th Army led by Liu Zhidan in Yanchuan, Shaanxi, and according to the order of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, the two armies were combined to form the Red 15th Army Corps, with corps commander Xu Haidong, political commissar Cheng Zihua, deputy corps commander and chief of staff Liu Zhidan, director of the Political Department Gao Gang, and deputy director Guo Shushen. The 75th Division (reorganized from the Red 25th Army): Division Commander Zhang Shaodong and Political Commissar Zhao Lingbo; 78th Division (reorganized from the 26th Red Army): Division Commander Yang Sen, Political Commissar Zhang Mingxian (later Cui Tian Mindai); The 81st Division (reorganized from the Red 27th Army): Division Commander He Jinnian, Political Commissar Zhang Dazhi. There are more than 7,000 people in the whole regiment.

On November 3, 1935, the 15th Army Corps of the Red Army and the Central Red Army joined forces and were incorporated into the Red First Army: Corps Commander Xu Haidong, Political Commissar Cheng Zihua, Chief of Staff Zhou Shidi, Director of the Political Department Guo Shushen, Deputy Director Feng Wenbin, with jurisdiction over the 75th, 78th, and 81st Divisions and a cavalry regiment. In 1937, the Red 15th Army was reorganized into the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with Brigade Commander Xu Haidong, Deputy Brigade Commander Huang Kecheng, and Chief of Staff Lu Shaowu into the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Thinking about these historical figures, and then looking at the report at hand, Li Jiansheng sighed again. Of course, this exclamation is not for himself, but because of the backbones he rescued, as well as the backbones he cultivated, all of them returned to his own troops in this way. Another thing that made him a little frightened was the appointment and dismissal of the personnel of the Red Eighth Legion, because Huang Su and Gan Weihan had returned to the state of history, that is, Zhou Zikun was the commander of the Red Eighth Legion, Huang Su was appointed as the member of the Legion, and Gan Weihan was appointed as the head of the Legion Organization! Li Jiansheng was a little incomprehensible, how did this history go around and around, and finally return to the original track?

In fact, what Li Jiansheng can't understand is far more than that.

Later, the Red Eighth Army was not withdrawn and merged into the Red Fifth Army a few days later, as in history, on December 18, as in history, but continued to develop towards its own history. However, this regiment never developed very much. When it was later reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, the headquarters of the Red Eighth Army was only reorganized into a brigade, which was reorganized into the 125th Division, and was commanded by Li Jiansheng. At that time, political commissar Huang Su had already died as an established historical fact in history. Zhou Zikun, Gan Weihan and others had been transferred to other main forces of the Red Front Army at that time, and this brigade was finally commanded by Feng Dafei. Feng Dafei in history was also sacrificed, and after entering the Red Seventh Army by chance, he was reused by Li Jiansheng, who was familiar with his situation, and was finally promoted to brigade commander. It's a pity that in the War of Resistance Against Japan, this senior general also died in the end. But his 389 brigade later came out of 32 generals!

Contrary to the slow development of the Red Eighth Army, the Red Seventh Army developed rapidly later, and the vitality of the troops quickly recovered. This unit, which was more than 40,000 people at the time of the reorganization, grew to more than 80,000 by the end of the Long March. And because the backbone of the Red Seventh Army is very strong, this army is getting stronger and stronger. In the end, when it was reorganized into the 125th Division of the Eighth Route Army, it was suddenly reorganized into 6 brigades. Similarly, Liu Zhidan's unit, which originally belonged to the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, later joined Li Jiansheng's unit, and this unit was also developed. In the end, it was possible to form a brigade on its own, that is, the 390 brigade. At that time, Li Jiansheng's 125th Division also became the only division in the Eighth Route Army with 8 brigades, and its strength was extremely strong. After the death of Zuo Quan, deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, Li Jiansheng was promoted to deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, but he has always led the post of commander of the 125th Division. Several deputy division commanders, including Yun Tian, Ji Zhentong, Peng Zhi, and Liu Zhidan, have also been working together to complete the work of division commanders, but they have never served as division commanders.

What Li Jiansheng didn't expect was that in the later War of Resistance Against Japan, Cheng Cuilin, then the deputy brigade commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, died. When people were sorting through his body, they accidentally found a letter addressed to Li Jiansheng, then deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army and commander of the 125th Division, in his underwear pocket. It wasn't until he saw the letter that Li Jiansheng understood one thing: it turned out that the reason why the Central Revolutionary Military Commission demoted him from the commander-in-chief of the Red Third Front Army to the commander of the Red Seventh Army was because Cheng Cuilin reported to the Central Committee that he had killed prisoners. Of course, he Cheng Cuilin assured with his party spirit that he was just standing in the position of a political worker and doing what he thought should be done. It's just that what happened later made him unexpected: he couldn't imagine that the Central Revolutionary Military Commission dealt with Li Jiansheng so heavily, and demoted him directly from the commander-in-chief of the front army to the corps commander, and many units of the original three front armies were also transferred to other units. Of course, what he didn't know was that there were actually two stages in this matter, the first stage was indeed the punishment of Li Jiansheng by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission; In the second stage, Li Jiansheng took the initiative to make a proposal to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission implemented it according to his suggestion, and because of the support of several major central leaders, including Mao, Zhu, Zhou, Zhang, Wang, and so on, the most elite forces of his army were not only not allocated, but were concentrated unprecedentedly. This also laid the foundation for the Red Seventh Army to become the only division with 8 brigades. Seeing his life-saving benefactor Li Jiansheng being treated like this, Cheng Cuilin, who was also a slanderous man, never smiled again, and never dared to meet Li Jiansheng again, and since then this suicide letter has been placed in the pocket of his underwear until he died. At that time, Li Jiansheng had long since taken this matter to heart, and he never imagined that there would be such a thing. After reading this letter, I was filled with emotion, and I really felt Cheng Cuilin's ironclad backbone, and I really understood the truth behind this public case. Later, he made a special trip to Cheng Cuilin's grave to pay respects. Later, he came forward to raise Cheng Cuilin's two children until they became adults.
