When Huang Hui and the others heard this, they immediately went to organize the troops.

Li Jiansheng sighed again: In history, when the remnants of this army arrived at Youzhuping and suddenly appeared in front of Peng Shaohui and Xiao Hua, they made the two leaders call it "magical"; And the fact that they were able to survive and rush to the march to find the main force is indeed a surprise and admiration for people. It's just that, judging from the current situation, it was because of the timely arrival of their Red Third Front Army and the rescue of them that this heroic unit was saved. However, there is no such thing as the Red Three-Front Army in history. Therefore, he came from later generations, Comrade Li Jiansheng, really don't know what this history is all about!

After sighing and thinking about it, Li Jiansheng issued another order, asking the Red 5th Division to immediately organize a bridge to be built, and one is four, in case the large army crosses the river. As for the rest of the troops, they looked for good ground on the hills on both sides to establish a solid blocking position to ensure that the main force could cross the river. After Niu Dali and Bai Kaishan received the order, they immediately led the team to take action, building bridges and setting up positions.

After the arrangement was completed, Huang Hui and others rushed over again. Li Jiansheng carefully inspected this young army, and only felt that although these people were full of gundust and had gone through such a bloody battle now, they were only slightly replenished, but they were still in good condition! This is the real Iron Warrior! A true soldier of a hundred battles!

After thinking about it, Li Jiansheng solemnly gave a military salute to everyone and greeted them again. Then let them rest, and let the cooking class of the Red 5th Division cook food for everyone. After that, Li Jiansheng came to the Xiangjiang River to watch his troops build bridges. While walking, I looked at the battlefield situation left behind by the Red 5th Division when it rescued the International Division of the Young Communist Party just now. Seeing the enemy's casualties and listening to the detailed introduction of the chief of staff of the Red 5th Division, Li Jiansheng nodded slightly: It seems that Niu Dali and Bai Kaishan are good, and the battle just now is obviously fought well, which can reflect the combat effectiveness of the Tieliu Guard of the Red 5th Division, an elite soldier in a hundred battles. Well, how to say it? It can be regarded as the prestige of the Red Eighteenth Army!

When they arrived at the riverside, they saw a unit of the 5th Red Division building a bridge. Three bridges are already in shape, and one is in the process of being cabled. The four bridges are separated by a few kilometers each, and they contrast with the bridges that were left behind by the Central Red Army and were blown up. Niu Dali's part is restoring the bridge. By then, Li Jiansheng will have five pontoon bridges on hand. The troops of the Red 15th Division were escorting the prisoners and supporting the wounded and sick to rest and wait on the side of the ferry. Looking into the distance, the gray corpses of the Red Army are floating everywhere on the Xiangjiang River, the pontoon bridge left by the Central Red Army has been blown up, and the broken bridge deck is full of Red Army corpses. Groups of scattered Red Army troops stood in the cold wind, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Li Jiansheng's heart moved inexplicably. I was in a hurry, trying to prevent the tragedy of the Xiangjiang Campaign, but I worked hard, I didn't sleep well, I didn't eat well, and I was very tired, so I rushed directly from southern Jiangxi to northeast Guangxi, but I still couldn't catch up, and this tragedy still happened! After thinking about it, Li Jiansheng immediately found Huang Hui and a few others, and put forward his own opinion: let him gather the troops immediately, and he will reorganize the Red 15th Division and other departments!

Huang Hui and the others didn't say a word, and immediately organized the troops to stand in front of Li Jiansheng again. Li Jiansheng's guard company moved around and gathered the scattered groups of Red Army troops standing in the cold wind. However, what made Li Jiansheng frown a little was that unlike the orderly soldiers of the Red 15th Division, these scattered Red Army soldiers were chaotic, and no one even listened to Li Jiansheng if he wanted to say something.

Li Jiansheng and others finally gathered the team, and when they asked about the situation, they learned that most of these stragglers were from the Red Eighth Army, with more than 2,800 people, and they were pursued by Zhou Hunyuan's Department of the Central Army. When the International Division of the Young Communist Party crossed the river, the whole team ran across the river, who knew that after the Red Eighth Army retreated, they swarmed across the river and blocked more than 1,800 people of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, but the pontoon bridge was blown up, and the Hunan Army pursued the troops arrived, and more than 1,800 people of the International Division of the Young Communist Party rose up to block the attack, and some of them were sacrificed, and now there are only more than 1,500 people, and most of them are wounded. If it weren't for these red imps, the nearly 3,000 stragglers of the Red Eighth Army might have been captured by the Hunan army. As for the other scattered Red Army, they came from a wide range of sources, most of them were from the 6th Red Division, some were from the 4th Red Division, and some were from other units. There were not many of these soldiers, but there were quite a few number of newspapers, and there were as many as eight or nine, including the first, third, fifth, and ninth regiments of the Central Red Army. Li Jiansheng smiled bitterly, he knew what was going on in his heart, he didn't want to say anything, he was just thinking about how to deal with these remaining Red Army stragglers!

Li Jiansheng knew that the Red Eighth Army, like the Red Ninth Army, was a new unit formed by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission before the Long March by adopting the policy of expanding the Red Army. Among them, the Red Eighth Army was basically established on the basis of the Western Army. At that time, in order to smash the fifth "encirclement and suppression" of the Central Soviet Region by the Kuomintang authorities, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided to open up four battlefields: eastern, southern, western, and northern. At that time, the Western Army had only one Central Guard Division, which had just been formed and had not yet participated in the battle, with less than 5,000 people, plus five independent regiments of the Jiangxi Military Region, a total of about 7,000 people.

Later, in order to support the operations on the Western Front, the masses of the "model county" Xingguo actively responded to the call of the Soviet district government to expand the Red Army, borrow grain to collect grain, and donate military shoes. By October 1934, the Xingguo Supplementary Division had successively replenished 11 batches of more than 20,000 soldiers for the Red Army.

On September 21, 1934, in order to facilitate the solo operation and breakthrough transfer, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the Red 21st Division and the Red 23rd Division under the jurisdiction of the Western Army to form the Eighth Army Corps of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with more than 10,000 ** soldiers of Xing nationality. However, due to the frequent fighting, the Red Eighth Army did not have time to gather for an inaugural meeting. In the early days of the Long March, several leaders of the corps, including corps commander Zhou Kun, political commissar Huang Su and others, made successive mistakes when handling affairs, which directly led to the low combat effectiveness of the troops: First, during the Long March, the leaders of the corps did not even send a scout in advance, and the troops had to advance while searching. Stop-and-go, stop-and-go, like an old cow pulling a broken car. Next, the troops were extremely fatigued due to the lack of organization and leadership. During the march, the soldiers walked and walked, and then fell asleep on the side of the road, unable to wake up no matter how much they shouted. Facing a long line of "sleeping soldiers" arranged like Chai He, Huang Su, the political commissar of the regiment who was usually irritable, was so anxious that his eyes smoked, and he whipped the soldiers lying down with a horse whip, but this also had little effect, and woke up this one, and that one lay down again. This situation made Zhou Kun, the commander of the legion of the chronic son, unable to hold back his urgency, snatched a light machine gun from a soldier in the machine gun squad, and slammed a shuttle into the air. That's when the warriors woke up. But this kind of "wolf is coming" practice has done too much, obviously making the soldiers think that the leaders of the legion are coaxing them, and as a result, when they really encounter a war, it is a mess as Luo Ronghuan, director of the Political Department of the Red Eighth Army deduced!
