At this time, the Red Army propaganda slogans were plastered everywhere in the passage county, and there was an expression of excitement on the faces of pedestrians.

At the gate of the former headquarters of the Security Corps, the masses who had made their clothes lined up in a long line to hand over their clothes and receive wages from the Red Army. Those who had already handed over their clothes were busy going back to get the fabrics and continue to do as much as the Red Army could.

In those days, the purchasing power of the silver dollar was very strong. A silver dollar can buy 7 catties of pork in Shanghai, and it will be even more in a more remote place like the channel. Therefore, the active surnames of the people in and near the county town are very high, especially the poor families, how have they seen such a pie-in-the-sky good thing? Therefore, the Red Army cadres who were responsible for the release of the material were very busy.

The merchants opened their shops early in the morning, and they already knew that the Red Army was buying and selling, and that the cloth shops, tailor shops, and dye shops had all done business with the Red Army, and that all the stocks of the cloth shops had been sold, and they had made a lot of money. It is necessary to quickly open the door and see if the Red Army needs to procure their goods.

The cadres of the Red Army led groups of soldiers to go from house to house to various stores to purchase materials, such as foreign oil, salt, medicine, grain, cigarettes, liquor, and so on, and bought everything that the troops could use; the only few restaurants in the county town were also processing dry food for the Red Army, and even the blacksmith shops were busy building sapper picks and shovels for the Red Army.

At around 11 o'clock, the Red Army held a public trial meeting in the center of the county town to conduct a public trial of the captured county magistrate, secretary of the county party department, chief of the police chief, head of the security regiment, chief of the tax bureau, and director of the finance bureau.

It turned out that after the telegram of the 18th Red Regiment demanding a public trial of several criminals who had committed the most heinous crimes, the Central Military Commission of the Central Revolution immediately replied and agreed, requesting that a public trial be held in the name of the political axe of the Provisional Central Committee of the Soviets. Early in the morning, the Political Department of the 18th Regiment posted the notice of the public trial meeting on the streets of the county seat and the nearby villages, and the residents of the county town and the people of the surrounding villages rushed to the meeting venue early.

The common people knew that these officials were all bad guys, but they didn't expect them to be so bad. Therefore, as soon as the Red Army cadres announced the number of bad deeds and embezzlements of a few bad guys, the common people realized that they had worked hard for a year and had finally gone into the pockets of these guys, and the Red Army soldiers took advantage of the situation to guide them and shouted slogans such as "Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries" and "Resolutely suppress the counterrevolution," and the majority of the masses also chanted slogans. A lot of people started throwing rocks and dirt at these guys, throwing whatever they picked up. In the end, the Red Army cadres announced that the county magistrate, the secretary of the county party department, the chief of the police, the head of the security regiment, the chief of the tax bureau, and the director of the finance bureau would be executed.

After the trial, several of the guys sentenced to death were shot dead on the spot.

The Red Army cadres then announced that the land seized by these fellows would be distributed to the poor and landless peasants, and that they would open warehouses for grain.

This made the common people completely excited, and they all gathered around the Red Army cadres to report the situation and demand the division of land. Even the Red Army's recruitment tables were lined up in long lines, and by the time it was time for lunch, 500 recruits had been recruited. Together with the 300 people mobilized from the security corps and the police, the boot camp has 800 recruits at once.

Xi's recruit battalion commander Lei Ming and instructor Chang Huayu have been following Liu Yimin's ass to ask for weapons and equipment, saying that they can go to the battlefield in three months.

Liu Yimin had no choice but to say that he would use the weapons and ammunition of the seized passage security regiment and the police station to conduct training first, focusing on bomb throwing, shooting, and bayonet fighting. Who knew that I had seen the thunder of the weapons of several combat battalions, and said that the rifling of the guns of the security regiment was worn out and could not be used. In the end, Liu Yimin promised to give priority to replenishment before sending Lei Ming away.

In the afternoon, the 2nd Division of the 1st Red Army rushed to the county seat.

The 1st Red Army was the main force of the main forces of the Red Army. This heroic and legendary unit has been tempered into steel after the tests of the Nanchang Uprising, the Autumn Harvest Uprising, the establishment of the Central Soviet Region, and the successive anti-encirclement and suppression wars. After the start of the Long March, the First Army, like the Red Third Army, has always been the pioneer. During the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, the 1st Army Corps held the blocking position of the foot hill, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of aircraft and artillery, it resisted the frantic attack of the 16 regiments of the Hunan Army with its flesh and blood, and formed two barriers, one left and one right, with the Guanghuapu position of the Red Third Army Corps, ensuring that the central column safely crossed the Xiangjiang River from the Jieshou Ferry. At the most critical time, the small unit of the Hunan army once attacked the corps headquarters and almost endangered the safety of the corps leader. Historically, after the Zunyi Conference, the 1st Red Army was reduced to 2 divisions and 6 regiments, accounting for half of the 12 regiments of the Central Red Army. Liu Yimin, who came from later generations, knew that a series of classic battles in the history of the Long March, such as the surprise attack on Zunyi, the forced crossing of the Wujiang River, and the capture of the Luding Bridge, were all masterpieces of the Red Army's pioneering troops. The troops derived from the First Army Corps have always been the elite of our army in the subsequent War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and have established immortal feats for the birth of the Republic.

Looking at the soldiers of the Red Second Division in front of him with shabby military uniforms and tired expressions, Liu Yimin had mixed feelings, these are all elites of a hundred battles, and everyone is a well-deserved hero of the people. He told Li Qing, who was in charge of logistics, to make good arrangements for food and lodging, and to change the soldiers of the Second Division into new uniforms to ensure that the soldiers could eat and sleep well.

Due to the logistical preparation of the 18th Regiment, the cadres and fighters of the 2nd Division were rested and recuperated in the county town of Tongtong. In the words of a regimental commander of the Second Division after the founding of the People's Republic of China, for the first time since the Long March, he ate a hot meal, took a bath, got a haircut for the first time, put on a new military uniform for the first time, and slept peacefully for the first time without fear of the enemy's attack. Division Commander Chen Guang and Political Commissar Liu Yalou also praised the Red Eighteenth Regiment.

The next morning, the 2nd Division of the 1st Army Corps, which had taken a short rest, took the dry rations prepared by the 18th Regiment and went to Sixiang and Malukou to reconnoiter the roads into Guizhou and continue their journey as pioneers of the Red Army.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, the 1st Division of the 1st Red Army, the Corps Headquarters and the Central Column rushed to the county seat of Tongdao.

In order to welcome the leaders of the Central Committee and the comrades-in-arms of the First Army Corps, and also to display the spiritual outlook of the 18th Regiment after its formation and boost the morale of the Red Army, Liu Yimin arranged for the troops without vigilance to wear brand-new military uniforms and line up at the city gate to welcome them.

In accordance with Liu Yimin's request, the troops took the company as a unit and sang "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention":

Revolutionary military personnel should keep in mind the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention.

First, all actions should be commanded and marched in unison in order to achieve victory.

Second, I don't take a stitch from the masses, and the masses support and like me.

Thirdly, all seizures should be credited and efforts should be made to lighten the burden on the people.

We must achieve the three major disciplines, and we must not forget the eight points of attention.

First, we should speak in a harmonious manner, respect the masses, and not be proud.

Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing.

Thirdly, if the borrowed person has used it, return it in person and do not lose it.

Fourth, if the thing is damaged, the compensation will not be worse than half a cent.

Fifth, it is forbidden to beat or scold people, and the warlord style is resolutely overcome.

Sixth, love the crops of the masses, and pay attention to the march and combat everywhere.

Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and hooliganism must be eliminated.

Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat prisoners, beat and scold, or search their pockets.

Everyone should be conscious of observing discipline and supervise each other, so as not to violate.

Revolutionary discipline must be clearly remembered, and the people's fighters love the people everywhere.

The defense of the motherland will always move forward, and the people of the whole country will support and welcome it.

One company after another sang, singing and singing, and each company competed, and your singing was not over, but my singing was up, one after another, and it was very spectacular.

The cadres and fighters of the 1st Regiment and the Military Commission Column were attracted by the song of the 18th Regiment, and looked curiously at this mighty Red Army unit as they walked.

When Zhang Wentian and Wang Jiaxiang arrived at the city gate, they couldn't help but stop on the side of the road and listen to the soldiers singing.

Zhang Wentian said: "Lao Mao, why haven't we heard this song." ”

* said: "Words are our three disciplines and eight points of attention, and the song is also very familiar, as if there was this song during the Northern Expedition, it is not simple, it is good." ”

Wang Jiaxiang said: "Just ask them to come and ask." Squad Leader Hu, you call their regiment leader to come over. The guard squad leader Hu agreed and ran away.

When Liu Yimin heard that [***] was here, his heart burst into tears with excitement. [***]Ah[***], I'm finally going to see you, it's really fucking good to cross through, you can meet the great man directly, and you will follow the great man to fight in the north and south in the future, happiness, happiness. By the way, if it is possible, please [***] write a few more of his poems to yourself, and leave them to the children as heirlooms in the future, if you can return to the time and space of the 21st century, just with the mixed chairman's handwriting, you can stun your classmates from Peking University and the general dreamers of the National Defense University.

Seeing Liu Yimin crying for a while and dementia for a while, squad leader Hu suddenly felt very funny, it seems that this head of the regiment has not seen [***], as soon as he heard that the chairman was called, he was excited like this. [***] It's very ordinary, how many Red Army cadres and soldiers are very familiar with him, this regiment commander will not really be a recruit as everyone says! Thinking of this, squad leader Hu shouted: "Captain Liu, [***] and several chiefs are waiting for you." ”

Liu Yimin finally came to his senses, damn, he patronized his Yiyin, and forgot that the soldiers were watching, shame, shame. Busy said to squad leader Hu: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, let's go, let's go see [***]." ”

In front of *, Zhang Wentian, and Wang Jiaxiang, Liu Yimin saw that according to the portraits of later generations and the images in movies and television, he determined the identities of several people, slightly adjusted his military appearance, and saluted: "Report [***], Chairman Zhang, Director Wang, Liu Yimin, acting head of the 6th Division and 18th Regiment of the Red Third Army Corps, report, please instruct the chief." ”

* In his thick Hunan accent, he said, "Please take a break." You are the same Liu Yimin, who was the acting head of the regiment on the day he joined the army? I have heard about your deeds in the past few days, and you are remarkable, courageous and wise, you fought your way out of the siege, and also inflicted heavy losses on the Gui army and the Hunan army, saving the lives of many Red Army soldiers, and you are really a legendary hero of our Red Army. ”

Liu Yimin hurriedly said: "Report [***], at that time on the Xinwei battlefield, I judged that the enemy was besieging the Jieshou Ferry based on the interrogation of prisoners and the battlefield situation, and the central column of our army should have passed through the Jieshou Ferry, so I suggested that the commander of the 34th Division, Chen, abandon the marching route demarcated by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and rush straight to the Phoenix Mouth after the surprise army attacked the Gui army. To tell the truth, it was mainly because the Red Army soldiers were brave and tenacious, and the leadership of the 34th Division made the right decision, otherwise it would not have succeeded. ”

* smiled: "Yes, I know when I am young, I don't take credit for myself, it's good." I listened to the soldiers singing very well, can you tell me what's going on? ”

Liu Yimin replied: "Report [***], this is my own compilation of the three major disciplines and eight points of attention of the Red Army into lyrics, filled in the tune, and let the soldiers sing as a march. The purpose is twofold, one is to educate the fighters to observe discipline, and the other is to improve morale. ”

* Haha laughed, "Luo Fu, Jiaxiang, you two look at how creative our Red Army soldiers are, our three disciplines and eight points of attention are sung like this, not only the Red Army soldiers know, but the common people also know, and immediately understand the difference between our Red Army and the Kuomintang Central Army and other warlord troops." Liu Yimin, well done, the propaganda effect of this song can withstand many propaganda teams, and in the future, we will teach all the Red Army soldiers so that everyone can sing it. ”

Liu Yimin said: "Please rest assured that the Red 18th Regiment will resolutely complete the task you have given!" ”

* He asked again: "Comrade Liu Yimin, why do I see that your 18th regiment is very neat, and it seems that there are a lot of people." ”

Liu Yimin hurriedly replied: "Report [***], our regiment suffered huge losses in the Xinwei blockade battle, only 800 of the 1,500 people remained, and only more than 500 people were left after the battle at Gulingtou, and then when the 34th Division was reorganized on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, the commander of the 34th Division, Chen Shuxiang, let 113 people from the 34th Division's top soldier company join our regiment, and reorganized more than 400 troops and soldiers scattered on the Xiangjiang River except for the 8th Army Corps, and incorporated more than 900 soldiers of the Gui Army and the Hunan Army that we captured in the battle into the new barracks of our regiment, and joined the battle sequence after a short period of training. Now the whole group is 2160 people. In addition, 800 recruits were recruited in the channel today, the troops are sufficient, and the morale is also very high, but there is a lack of mortars and other heavy weapons, and light weapons are not enough, and the weapons of the captured channel county security regiment are all broken, and now all the new soldiers are basically empty-handed. ”

Wang Jiaxiang asked: "I heard that the soldiers of the Gui Army were deeply deceived by reactionary propaganda, how could you convert them into Red Army soldiers in such a short period of time?" ”

Liu Yimin said: "Report to Director Wang, we have carried out two activities in the army, one is the heart-to-heart activity, that is, the cadres and the soldiers talk about their hearts, and the old Red Army and the new soldiers talk about their families. The second is to carry out the activity of complaining about the hardships brought about by the Kuomintang reactionaries, the hardships brought about by the warlords' secession and melee, the hardships of the exploitation of the landlords, and the hardships of being illiterate and uneducated, so that the new soldiers quickly realized that only by following the Red Army can they change the fate of being exploited and oppressed. ”

Zhang Wentian said: "Jiaxiang, this heart-to-heart talk activity has been carried out by our Red Army before, but the activity of complaining about grievances is definitely a pioneering initiative in the political and ideological work of the Red Army, and it is of great significance to us in the future to expand the Red Army and transform prisoners. ”

Wang Jiaxiang said: "Lao Mao and Luo Fu, the work of the 18th regiment is indeed innovative and worthy of investigation. By the way, Liu Yimin, you just said that you followed [***] and the Red Army, there is no problem, why do you still follow *? ”

Liu Yimin said: "Report to Director Wang, I have only been in the Red Army for a short time, but before I joined the army, I knew that all the newspapers in China called our Central Red Army the Zhumao Red Army, and the common people regarded Comrade * as a savior. In the past few days of joining the Red Army, I have learned from the opinions of the cadres and fighters that the Red Army soldiers are looking forward to [***] leading us to victory. When I studied with some old comrades, I also learned a little about the history of our Central Red Army. Objectively speaking, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Zhu were the main founders of our Central Red Army and the pioneers of the Central Soviet Region. In the hearts of the old Red Army soldiers, [***] is the leader of the Red Army and the banner of the victory of the Red Army. So, there's nothing wrong with us saying that we're going to follow along*. ”

* A warm current is surging in my heart, I have stood aside for so long, the Red Army soldiers are still thinking about themselves, even Liu Yimin, who has just joined the army, knows his contribution to the Red Army, it can be seen that history is written by the people. Although this Liu Yimin is not very old, he has clear thinking, strict logic, and is brave and resolute, and he is a wise and brave general in the Red Army, and such a comrade is the wealth of the Red Army.

After stabilizing his thoughts, he said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, the achievements of the Red Army in the Central Soviet District should be attributed to the leadership of the Party and the struggle of all the Red Army commanders and fighters. In the future, don't mention following *, I am also an ordinary party member, just mention following the party and the Red Army. ”

Liu Yimin said: "Chairman of the report, I have been thinking a lot in the past few days. Judging from the history of China and other countries, if we want to accomplish great things and build a prosperous, prosperous and strong country, we must have a clear goal of struggle and a strong core of leadership. ”

Seeing that the three leaders were silent, Liu Yimin continued: "If this leadership core is a period of peace construction, we should focus on strengthening the construction of the open cooking mechanism, mainly focusing on decentralization and limiting power, ensuring that the leadership core can represent the interests of the majority of the people, and resolutely abandoning personal dictatorship and reading talents. The prime minister system in ancient China was essentially an attempt to separate the imperial power from the executive power, but it was not well implemented. For example, the constitutional monarchy implemented after the bourgeois revolution in Britain, the separation of powers practiced in the United States, and the Soviet congress system practiced in the Soviet Union have all become the fundamental systems for the founding of the country. ”

At this time, Wang Jiaxiang turned sideways on the stretcher, and Liu Yimin hurriedly asked, "Director Wang, the wound hurts again?" ”

Wang Jiaxiang waved his hand with difficulty: "It's okay, you continue." ”

Liu Yimin went on to say: "The core of leadership in wartime must highlight the role of leaders, and clear goals of struggle, wise leaders, correct strategies, and a strong army are the most basic factors to ensure victory in the war. Because with a clear goal of struggle, we can unite people's hearts, form a group, and give birth to leaders; With a wise leader, the right strategic course can be determined; Only with a correct strategic policy can we command the army to be invincible. The founding battles of all Chinese dynasties, from the Shang Tang Dynasty, the Wu Wang's War, the Qin Dynasty's unification, the Chu and Han dynasties' struggle for hegemony, to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, all victories were based on this truth. The same is true of foreign history, without Washington there would be no current United States, without Lenin there would be no brand new Soviet Union. ”

Zhang Wentian said: "What you said is very reasonable, can you analyze the situation of our Red Army?" ”

Liu Yimin said: "The goal of our Red Army is to establish a Soviet New China, and the goal is there, and there is a strong Red Army contingent, but what is lacking is a strong leader and a correct strategic policy. In the past, a very important reason why the Soviet region was able to continue to grow and develop in the midst of the encirclement and suppression of a strong enemy was that there was a strong leadership core that understood China's national conditions, knew what the people wanted, and could give the people. There is a command that knows oneself and one's opponent, is resourceful and decisive, and can formulate correct strategies and tactics. Therefore, the policies of the Red Army can be supported by the masses, the ranks of the Red Army can continue to grow, and the base areas can continue to develop. ”

Seeing that the three of them were savoring their words, Liu Yimin thought about it. He continued: "Since the five anti-encirclement campaigns, the Red Army soldiers have remained the same Red Army soldiers, but the Soviet areas have become smaller and smaller, which eventually led to a strategic shift in the whole army, resulting in the subsequent defeat on the Xiangjiang River. ”

Zhang Wentian said again: "Do you know what caused this? ”

Liu Yimin replied: "I have only been in the Red Army for a short time, I have not studied enough, and I have not thought about many things maturely. Since the chief asked, I said, "If something is wrong, please correct it." ”

Zhang Wentian said: "You say it, it doesn't matter if it's wrong." ”

Liu Yimin had no choice but to say: "The reason for this situation is, in essence, that our party is still in the early stage of party building and is still very naïve. Theoretically, they blindly copy and copy, and do not know how to integrate the principles of Marxism with the reality of the Chinese revolution. ideologically left and right, not seeking truth from facts; Organizationally too much dependence on the Comintern, forgetting the autonomy of reading. As a result, Xiang Zhongfa, who was illiterate in Dou Da, could become the general secretary of the party, and Li De, a foreign adviser who had only the level of an artillery regiment commander, could override the Politburo, decide on the movement of troops by drawing lines on the map, and command 100,000 Red Army. This phenomenon runs counter to the party's guiding ideology and organizational principles, and is extremely abnormal. If it is not reversed immediately, our Red Army will face the end of total annihilation, and our cause will be ruined by the mistakes of a few individuals. The blood of the martyrs on both sides of the Xiangjiang River has once again proved that only the strategic thinking of the Red Army is the correct strategic thinking that conforms to the reality of our Red Army and the Chinese revolution. We, the Red Army, urgently need to return to the post of commander-in-chief of the Red Army, lead us out of the predicament, and strive for victory. ”

"Humph! It's just nonsense and demagogy! ”
