Chapter 15 The East Bank of the Xiangjiang River (3)

Everyone is still silent! Li Jiansheng was unmoved, and continued to roar:

"Shame! This is a disgrace to the entire 8 Corps! It's a disgrace to the entire Central Red Army! It is also a shame for our entire Red Army! Look at it, they are all dignified men, but when they cross the river, they want the protection of these imps of the Young Communist International Division! It's not upside down, so what? It's not a shame, so what? This is not a disgrace to our Red Army, so what? ”

It's still silent! Three rhetorical questions in a row shocked every fighter's heart. Li Jiansheng glanced at everyone again, waved his big hand, almost word by word, and roared: "If you want to wash away this shame, if you want to stop us all from being ashamed, it is a man's and a ball, pick up the weapon in your hand and wash away your shame with the blood of the enemy!" ”

Seeing that everyone had finally calmed down completely, Li Jiansheng glanced at everyone again, paused for a while, and finally announced the order loudly: "Your department, the scene is reorganized into three regiments." After that, the specific reorganization rules were announced in detail:

First, the remaining 1,500 people of the original Red 15th Division, with 1,000 people as the backbone, supplemented by 500 soldiers of the original Red Eighth Army, were unified into the 46th Regiment of the Red 15th Division. Huang Hui served as the head of the regiment. These 1,000 soldiers of the former Red 15th Division, as well as 500 soldiers of the former Red Eighth Army, were selected by him. Second, the remaining 500 people of the original 15th Division, as well as more than 400 soldiers left behind by the original Red Sixth Division and the Red Fourth Division, totaling more than 970 people, plus the additional 540 soldiers of the Red Eighth Army, were unified into the 47th Regiment of the Red 15th Division, with Lin Xiangze, the first deputy head of the 13th Regiment of the Red 5th Division of our Red Third Front Army, as the head of the regiment, and Wu Hua, the first deputy political commissar, as the political commissar. Of course, they can only serve as your regimental commander for the time being, and they will return to our troops in the future. As for the new regimental cadres in the future, they will select soldiers who have performed well in battle. Third, the remaining more than 1,700 people of the Red Eighth Army Corps were unified into the 48th Regiment of the Red 15th Division, with Pang Maolin, the first deputy head of the 14th Regiment of the 5th Red Division of our Red Third Front Army, as the head of the regiment, and Yang Tianfeng, the first deputy political commissar, as the political commissar. In addition, the 14th and 15th regiments of the 5th Red Division of the Red Third Front Army will also transfer a total of 30 backbone cadres to serve as grassroots cadres in the regiment. Of course, these people, like the regimental cadres of the 47th regiment, will only serve in your regiment temporarily, and will return to our troops in the future. As for the new regimental, battalion, and company-level cadres in the future, they will also be selected from the battle to serve as soldiers with outstanding performance!

After a pause, Li Jiansheng asked the correspondent to inform Bai Kaishan, the political commissar of the Red 5th Division, that he had something to discuss. The correspondent went.

Li Jiansheng walked back and forth on the high ground twice, thought about it, and still felt a little uneasy for a while, and continued to announce three articles: First, all three regiments, each regiment is organized into three combat battalions of 500 people. Each combat battalion has a battalion commander, two deputy battalion commanders, a battalion instructor, two deputy instructors, a clerk, and one communicator. Three more combat companies and one fire support platoon were set up below. The fire support platoon consisted of 30 people, one platoon commander and one deputy platoon commander, equipped with 10 Czech light machine guns and 10 captured Thomson submachine guns, and each machine gun had a shooter and a secondary shooter. Don't worry about weapons, there are many captures, let everyone choose. Each combat company has 108 people, and there are three platoons with 30 people in each platoon, one platoon leader and two deputy platoon leaders, and three combat squads with 9 people in each squad, one squad leader and two deputy squad leaders. There are three combat groups in each squad, and the team leader is a squad leader and a deputy squad leader.

Article 2 means that the appointment of cadres of all battalions, companies, platoons, and squads shall all be made by the method of selecting soldiers, with soldiers selecting squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, squad leaders and deputy squad leaders selecting platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders, cadres at the platoon level selecting cadres at the company level, and cadres at the company level selecting cadres at the battalion level.

Article 3, that is, the method of appointing cadres of the above-mentioned battalions and companies is limited to the newly formed 46th and 47th regiments. The three battalions of the 48th Regiment were directly appointed by him, and the cadres were mainly drawn from the 5th Red Division. Among them, the commander of the third battalion, Guo Kaiyang, and the instructor Xiang Shougui; The commander of the sixth battalion, Yu Zhong, and the instructor Lin Jianjian; He Yang, commander of the ninth battalion, and Lin Kedong, instructor. These people are all the first deputy posts of veteran battalion-level cadres of the Red 5th Division of the former Red Third Front Army. As for the company cadres, they are mostly composed of strong generals drawn from the former Red 5th Division. Of course, further down, the grassroots backbone at the deputy company, platoon, and squad levels also used the method of selecting soldiers from the other two regiments.

After the order was issued, Li Jian was afraid that these people would not be able to do anything, and he clearly ordered that all the selection work must be completed within 20 minutes.

As soon as his order was issued, the various units immediately moved into action and organized a group of troops. Bai Kaishan then rushed over. At that time, the oxen vigorously blocked the position on the hill and could not catch up; Only Baikai Mountain was closer, so it came over quickly. Li Jiansheng hurriedly discussed with Bai Kaishan about the transfer of cadres. Bai Kaishan didn't say a word, agreed, and then immediately summoned the troops, and contacted Niu Dali through the radio, so that the cadres who were dispatched immediately reported to the general headquarters.

However, Li Jiansheng clearly underestimated the abilities of these fighters. You must know that these soldiers usually fight together, and who has the ability or not, and who can fight, it is all clear, so when it comes to promoting personnel, it doesn't take much time at all. In less than 10 minutes, the leaders of each battalion, company, platoon, and squad were elected. The cadres dispatched by Li Jiansheng also arrived later. Seeing that all the cadres were in place, Li Jiansheng immediately announced the appointment decision, and asked all the cadres to return to the team, organize the troops, and complete it within a quarter of an hour. After thinking about it, Li Jiansheng deliberately asked the accompanying staff officers to form a text in case it was handed over to Comrade Peng Shaohui for the record in the future.

After all these arrangements were made, Li Jiansheng looked at the neat troops with satisfaction and said: "In order to facilitate unified action and command, the three regiments of the Red 15th Division were unified into the Red 15th Army Corps, and together with the Red 34th Division, the Independent Division, and the Guards Division, they acted with the main force. After crossing the river, I will arrange for each of you to find your own troops! Huang Hui and the others responded one by one. Li Jiansheng arranged again: "Now everyone's task is to eat and rest. When the bridge is repaired, you cross the bridge first! Huang Hui and the others responded again and went to rest.

Li Jiansheng's incident was later learned by political commissar Huang Su, who quietly asked Li Jiansheng one day later: "Is this okay?" Our Red Army cadres are all appointed by their superiors, so is it against the party's policy to let the soldiers elect them? ”

Li Jiansheng smiled and said to him: "No problem, I have read the mimeographed newspapers of the Red Army, this is not our initiative, when the Red Army began to go to Jinggangshan, Commissar Mao was in favor of doing so." To tell the truth, if this is done, the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the troops are high. ”

Hearing Li Jiansheng say this, Huang Su didn't say anything more. Later, however, some people took advantage of this to say that Li Jiansheng was engaging in mountaineering and dividing other people's soldiers into his own troops. However, although Comrade Xiao Hua didn't say anything, the straight-minded General Peng roared: "Li Shuai is saving the Red 15th Division!" He left me the filing papers! Whoever dares to say such nonsense again is ill-intentioned! In this way, Li Jiansheng escaped a catastrophe. And some veterans of the Red Third Front Army who participated in this matter that day realized that the commander-in-chief Li Jiansheng insisted on letting the staff officers form a written text and later handed it over to Comrade Peng Shaohui for the record, which really played a great role, at least once again to protect him and many of his generals! But he didn't know that Li Jiansheng knew that the political struggle within the party was complicated and was unwilling to leave a truth for others, so he had to prepare so secretly. I didn't expect this preparation to be effective in the end.
