Chapter Twenty-Six: Welcoming the Advance Force of the Red First Army

said that the fire was because Li Jiansheng's department calmly changed hands without firing a single shot.

In fact, before launching the Battle of the Passage, Li Jiansheng had already determined the idea of outwitting. Later, the scout came back to report that Lei Datong, the chief of the channel police, had married his daughter-in-law. Li Jiansheng and the others thought about it and decided to take action according to the plan. In the end, the soldiers of the special service brigade and the guard regiment that he led led to disguised themselves as woodcutters, fishermen, and farmers, and mixed into the city in twos and threes. As for himself and Li Zhi and a few others, they pretended to be Shen Ying's buddies and asked Shen Ying to pretend to be a rich lady and enter the city together. As a result, the city gates were successfully controlled, and the police station and the police chief's house were successfully controlled. All the leading figures of the passage county who were congratulating at Lei Datong's house were wiped out. As for the City Defense Bureau, it was surrounded by a part of the guard regiment led by Li Zhi.

Because he didn't think that the Red Army in western Jiangxi would hit the passage, the passage was defenseless up and down, so Li Jiansheng succeeded in a sneak attack in one fell swoop. On December 9, one day ahead of the real historical facts, the Red Army fully occupied the passage. Once they entered the passage, Wu Zheng's Special Service Brigade Special Service Regiment immediately asked the locals to lead the way with a large amount of money to disarm the unsuspecting Tongdao County Security Regiment, while the Second Special Service Regiment disarmed the urban defense soldiers of the Tongdao County Urban Defense Bureau, and the Third Company of the Guard Regiment disarmed all the members of the Tongdao Police Station. So far, there are more than 1,100 people in the three armed forces of the Tongdao County Security Corps, the Urban Defense Bureau, and the Police Department, all of which have been solved by Li Jiansheng's troops without blood.

Just over an hour after Li Jiansheng's unit occupied the passage, the troops of the 16th Red Army Corps, which had come directly behind the special service brigade and the guard regiment, also rushed over. On the same day and the second and third days that followed, for a total of three days, the Red 2nd Division occupied the line of Linkou and Xikou; The Red 4th Division occupied Xianxi and probed in the direction of Hengjiang Bridge and Jingzhou; The Red 6th Division occupied the first line of Yatunbao and Boyang; The Red 8th Division occupied Longcheng and Ganxi. At this point, a large area around the passage was occupied by the headquarters of the Red Third Front.

Li Jiansheng's move was handled in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities, and second, he knew that an extremely important meeting on the passage was about to be convened, so he consciously or unintentionally strengthened his defense in this regard and occupied all the places around the passage, with the aim of laying a good foundation for the central authorities to hold a meeting in the passage.

On the afternoon of December 10, one day ahead of the real historical facts, the 2nd Division of the 1st Red Army rushed to the county seat of Tongdao.

The 1st Red Army was the main force of the main forces of the Red Army. The leaders of this army are all some cattle in later generations. The current commander of the corps is the later generation of Lin Dashuai, Lin Biao; The political commissar is also the marshal of later generations, Nie Rongzhen; The chief of staff is the highest-ranking general Zuo Quan, who died in the Central Committee during the Anti-Japanese War; The Propaganda Minister of the Political Department was Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of reform and opening up in later generations; The director of the Security Bureau is Luo Ruiqing, the general of later generations. According to Li Jiansheng's historical knowledge, after December 18, the Red Eighth Army was abolished, and most of it was merged into the Red Fifth Army. Luo Ronghuan, the former director of the Political Department of the Red Eighth Army Corps and later Marshal, was transferred to the Red First Army Corps as the director of the Political Department.

Li Jiansheng is still relatively familiar with this unit. Because if he hadn't come to Shonan in the first place, he would have been a member of the Red First Army now. According to the established historical development, there are only two possibilities for him, Li Jiansheng, one is that he was killed in the process of "suppressing rebellion", and the other is that he has been promoted to the main leader of the division or regiment level of the Red First Army. You must know that when he was in Jinggangshan, he was the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the main battalion, and now the commander of the 1st Red Regiment, Lin Dashuai, is the commander of the 1st Battalion of the main force!

As for the Red 2nd Division of the 1st Red Army, which was the first to enter the passage, it had 3 regiments under its jurisdiction, namely the 4th, 5th, and 6th Regiments. When Li Jiansheng found out, he immediately led the guard group out of the city to greet him. After being introduced, Li Jiansheng was also secretly frightened in his heart, because these people on the other side were also some cattle. The first one is Master Chen Guang. can be regarded as Li Jiansheng's old acquaintance. I met at the time of the Shonan Uprising, and later we also had exchanges on Jinggang Mountain. Together with Commander Chen Guang was the political commissar of the Red First Army and the Red Second Division, the first air force commander of the later generations, the founding general, Liu Yalou. The commander of the 4th Regiment who followed him and was also the founding general of the later generations, Geng Biao; The political commissar is Yang Chengwu, who is also the founding general of the later generations and one of the famous "Three Yangs"; The political commissar of the 5th regiment, Lai Chuanzhu, the founding general of later generations!

However, for the time being, Li Jiansheng's position is far above them, and he is the commander-in-chief of the local Third Front Army. And the cattle people have seen a lot, and the mentality is also calmer, and there is no excitement when seeing the cattle people at the beginning. He didn't know that he looked at these cattle people and sighed, and in the eyes of those people, he was the real cattle man! His legendary process has long been known to everyone!

While secretly thinking that the number of these divisional and regiment-level main cadres seems to be wrong, it seems that there are still a few missing, such as the commander of the 5th regiment and the head of the 6th regiment, I don't know whether it was sacrificed or leading the troops at the back of the team, and at the same time I met with everyone enthusiastically. Li Jiansheng shook hands and hugged these people affectionately, and welcomed everyone into the county seat. It's just that, looking at these soldiers of the Red Second Division in front of him with shabby military uniforms and tired expressions, Li Jiansheng had mixed feelings. You know, these are all elites of a hundred battles! Because this is a heroic and legendary army, it 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 previous anti-encirclement and suppression. 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. Unlike the revocation of the number of the Red Eighth Army after the Zunyi Conference, historically, the Red First Army was reduced to 2 divisions and 6 regiments after the Zunyi Conference, accounting for half of the 12 regiments of the Central Red Army. Li Jiansheng, 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 forcible crossing of the Wujiang River, and the capture of the Luding Bridge, were all masterpieces of the Red Army's pioneering force.

Imagining the future of this army, and looking at the current situation of everyone, Li Jiansheng couldn't bear it for a while. At that moment, Li Zhi, the head of the guard regiment, was immediately temporarily responsible for the logistics and arranged the food and accommodation. He also stressed that the soldiers of the 1st Red Army and the 2nd Red Division should be given new uniforms to ensure that the soldiers can eat and sleep well. Li Zhi was actually not good at logistics, but fortunately, Wu Jiang, the logistics chief of the Red 16 Regiments and the deputy of Xu Zhengfang, who rushed over with the divisions of the 16 th Red Army Corps, was now in the county seat of Tongdao, so Li Zhi did not need to worry about it, and immediately conveyed the commander-in-chief's order.
