Chapter 12: The Jiangjin Fellowship (4)
According to Mao Weiren's telegram order, Li Jiansheng, Xu Xiangqian, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Changhao and several other commanded more than 180,000 people of the Red Seventh Army and the Red Fourth Front Army under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Military and Political Commission, and rested well in Chongqing. With the exception of some units on the outermost line, which were placed on first-level alert, all other units were transferred to rest and recuperate on the spot. In fact, whether it was the Red Fourth Front Army led by Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao, or the Red Seventh Army led by Li Jiansheng and Luo Ronghuan, they were all fighting continuously and urgently needed to recuperate. This time, Mao Weiren's telegram just matched everyone's meaning.
As soon as Li Jiansheng met with several principal leaders, he immediately put forward his own opinions, believing that Zeng Zhongsheng should be immediately instructed to draw up a joint operation plan for the next stage of the two units. Eventually, according to his intentions, the two forces would still carry out the established policy, move north, and finally join forces with the Red Front Army to form a unified operation. Therefore, while the large forces are resting and recuperating, the special operations forces must give up rest and move forward in a planned manner, so as to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent advance of the large forces. Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao generally agreed with Li Jiansheng's opinions, but they were very strange about Li Jiansheng's special operation. This is the first time they have heard such a word, let alone such a special method of warfare. Because Li Jiansheng created this method of warfare by himself, it is not easy to say much, so as not to be suspected of selling melons by Wang Po. However, Luo Ronghuan, who was very much in favor of this method of operation and had studied it very much, seriously introduced this special operation method to Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao and others.
Luo Ronghuan's cultural skills are very good, his speech ideas are clear, and his speech speed is not fast or slow. Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao, the two battle-hardened generals, both nodded in admiration. Therefore, Li Jiansheng's proposal was quickly adopted. And the leader is Li Jiansheng's commander of the Red Seventh Army Special Service Brigade Gao Yuan. Of course, Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao exchanged a few words, and they insisted on asking the special service brigade of the Seventh Army Corps of the Red Army to send some special combat fighters to teach in the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, and they would send outstanding fighters from the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army to form a special combat regiment and hand them over to the special operations fighters sent by these troops for training, hoping that the special operations units of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army would be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Li Jiansheng and Luo Ronghuan also exchanged opinions a little and agreed to Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao's request.
The next morning, the soldiers of the Special Service Brigade led by Takahara set out on the road. Li Jiansheng personally sent another group of soldiers to the Red Fourth Front Army and handed them over to Chen Changhao for arrangement. In the afternoon, Cai Zhong sent a report, but told him that after the troops conquered Chongqing, that is, the surrounding areas, the Red Seventh Army and the Red Fourth Front Army had strengthened their recruitment work, and among them, the Red Seventh Army recruited 4,000 new recruits. It is understood that the Red Fourth Front Army also recruited more than 3,000 people. When Li Jiansheng heard this, he sighed in his heart, and only felt that there were two things he couldn't think of this time. First, the two main forces have nearly 8,000 people this time, and they are all first-class Sichuan soldiers; Second, the number of soldiers recruited by his Red Seventh Army exceeded that of the Red Fourth Front Army, and some people couldn't figure it out; After all, the Red Fourth Front Army has developed in this area for a long time, and theoretically it should be more famous and easier to recruit troops, but they did not expect that their own direct troops would recruit more troops than them. Later, when I heard Cai Zhong's explanation, it turned out that although the Red Seventh Army started a little late, there were many Sichuan soldiers in the army, and their influence in the local area was greater, so it was very smooth to recruit. Hearing this explanation, Li Jiansheng smiled and was relieved, and just asked Cai Zhong to properly arrange these recruits. Consideration could be given to setting up a recruit regiment in each division under the current several main divisions, which would be responsible for training new recruits. Cai Zhong raised the question of whether it was possible to consider turning it into an organization and training headquarters to integrate the teaching brigade into a training brigade and be specifically responsible for training recruits after recruiting more than 10,000 people in central Sichuan not long ago, and this time more than 4,000 people have been recruited. In this way, once the recruits have been successfully trained, they can be directly integrated into the front-line units of various operations. When Li Jiansheng heard this, he felt that this idea was very good, so he immediately asked Cai Zhong to form a report, and after submitting it to Rong Huan's political commissar for approval, he immediately implemented it. It just so happens that right now is the time for a big military training. Cai Zhong took the order and left, but Li Jiansheng remembered something, called Cai Zhong back, and announced his second decision: immediately set off a new round of martial arts training in the whole army, and let Cai Zhong immediately inform Chief of Staff Zeng Zhongsheng and come up with a plan. When Cai Zhong heard this, he agreed and raised his legs.
Of course, Li Jiansheng has some other ideas. Because after all, he concurrently holds the first position of the Northwest Military and Political Commission, and theoretically, any activities must be carried out simultaneously in the two units of the Red First Army, the Red Seventh Army and the Red Fourth Front Army, but considering that the Red Fourth Front Army is pulled by Xu Xiangqian and others, and he directly commands it like this, I am afraid that it is a bit noisy, but it is not good. Later, I thought about it, it was better to advance in my own troops first, and later I had the opportunity to advance to the Red Fourth Front.
Li Jiansheng sat down again and thought about it carefully, not even knowing that Luo Ronghuan had come in. It wasn't until Shen Pheasant, who poured tea for Political Commissar Luo, gently reminded Li Jiansheng that Li Jiansheng reacted. Seeing that it was the old partner who came, Li Jiansheng quickly stood up, organized the language, and explained his thoughts. Luo Ronghuan thought about it for a while and agreed with Li Jiansheng's opinion. The two of them discussed it carefully again, and then asked the staff officer to issue an order:
First, the Red Seventh Army Corps Training Command was established, with Cai Zhong as the commander and political commissar of the training headquarters, and the former brigade commander and political commissar concurrently serving as the deputy commander and deputy political commissar of the training headquarters respectively. The original teaching brigade was formed and merged into the training headquarters to train all newly recruited soldiers in a unified manner.
Second, a leading group for the "large-scale military training and large-scale military competition" of the Red Seventh Army was established, with Li Jiansheng and Luo Ronghuan personally serving as advisers, and Zeng Zhongsheng being directly responsible for the training and competition.
Third, the above two orders were communicated to the two leaders of the Red Fourth Front Army, the army, and the government.
Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao's reaction was very fast, and the two of them rushed over in the evening, the name was to learn from the scriptures, Li Jiansheng and Luo Ronghuan were both old mouths, and when they saw the scene of the two of them, they knew that they were very interested in their work, and they were afraid that it was not as simple as learning from the scriptures. Sure enough, Xu and Chen then proposed that the Red Fourth Front Army would also conduct large-scale military training and competition at the same time, and would also set up a training headquarters to train new soldiers, but they had two requests for Li and Luo. One is to ask the Red Seventh Army to support some artillery, because the Red Seventh Army's artillery is really eye-catching. Of course, the training of artillery was also entrusted to Li and Luo. Second, when the large-scale military contest and large-scale military training have come to an end, it is necessary for the two armies to have a big competition. When Li Jiansheng heard this, he felt that this method was very good, and immediately nodded in agreement.
The rest of the large army in the Chongqing area is 20 days. In the past 20 days, a major event has occurred in the Red Army.
