Chapter 53: A New Plan for Expansion
The second point is that Li Jiansheng himself drew up a plan to purge several nearby counties, and strive to unify these counties, including Zixing and Chenxian, under the banner of the Red Army, and establish a unified red revolutionary base area. It turned out that those white dogs were very good at the White Terror, and now they had to destroy some of them by themselves, the main force of the Red Army. It just so happened that this also more or less exercised his own team.
The third point is to step up logistical supplies and reserves. Including weapons and equipment, clothing and food, etc., must be guaranteed in sufficient quantities. Therefore, under the circumstance that Yizhang County has financial resources, it is necessary to expand around.
After formulating the first draft of the plan, Li Jiansheng asked Chief of Staff Wang Hanying to immediately organize the staff officers to draw up a detailed battle plan, and he found the telegraph operator. This telegraph operator is a native of Changsha County, and his name is Ou Zhengping. Li Jiansheng had dinner with him, learned some more about the situation, and immediately appointed him as the head of the telephone squad -- after some conversation, he felt that this person was not bad, he was still a college student, and he was very enthusiastic. It didn't take long to get to the troops. The reason why he was willing to join the Red Army unit turned out to be Li Jiansheng's rhetorical question yesterday, because his family's situation was not good. My heart moved, so I was willing to come over to help. Li Jiansheng then made a temporary decision to directly promote him to the rank of squad leader -- directly subordinate to the management of Fan Chao, the platoon leader of the communications platoon, and let him recruit and train people in the team himself. Ou Zhengping first did not expect that the head of the Red Army would personally invite him to dinner, nor did he expect that he would be entrusted with a heavy task at once, and he was excited and moved in his heart, and immediately made up his mind that he must work hard and do a good job.
Many years later, Lieutenant General Ou Zhengping, one of the founding fathers of the People's Republic of China, was one of the few personnel on the telecommunications intelligence front who was awarded such a high military rank. Every time I talk about Li Shuai with someone, the old man will sigh: Without Li Shuai, there would be no Zhengping in our district today; Without Li Shuai's meal, I wouldn't have my results today...... Of course, this is also a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
However, it was said that after Li Jiansheng dealt with this matter, he immediately threw himself into the whole army. Seeing Wang Hanying holding the four binoculars collected from the 27th and 33rd regiments, his heart moved, and he immediately had an idea: one is equipped for Yang Zhishen, and several other regiment-level cadres can share it if necessary; The other three were disassembled into two single-barrel telescopes, and the idea was to install them in Hanyang, a sniper company, to make several sniper rifles in the original sense. Wang Hanying said that I am afraid that no one can do this well. Li Jiansheng thought about it and felt that he was afraid that it would be like this, and he had no choice but to ask Liu Laohan for help. Liu Laohan looked at it, shook his head with some regret, and said that there was no way. Li Jiansheng was disappointed, but he was seen by Liu Heyun, the eldest son of Liu Laohan, who was going home to see his father, and he didn't speak at the moment, but just picked it up. Two days later, he came with a gun, but it was Hanyang-made with a telescope. Li Jiansheng tried it, and the effect was good, it turned out that his marksmanship was already good, so he could see it more and more clearly. Great joy at the moment. Let Liu Heyun pack the other ones. Then he called Wu Kelie over and asked him to choose six of the most powerful soldiers and equip them with these six special sniper rifles. Although I also know that the range of this Hanyang-made is limited at the moment, and it is not comparable to a professional sniper rifle, but for now, it is indeed a good thing.
Then Wu Kelie went to do it himself. Li Jiansheng thanked Liu Heyun again and left. At noon the next day, Wu Kelie told him that six sniper rifles had been arranged. Li Jiansheng nodded, indicating that he knew, and went to think about his own business again. After everyone had a full meal at noon, Li Jiansheng immediately organized a meeting of cadres. By this time, the sequence of his troops was clear:
The entire independent regiment is more than 2,700 people. The name "Shonan Independent Regiment" is still used. Set up a regimental headquarters. It consists of five combat battalions, a training battalion, a reconnaissance company, a logistics company, a guard communications company, an engineer company, a fire support company, a sniper company, a weapons research institute, a clothing factory, and an iron bureau. Among them, the first five specialized companies are all reinforced companies, and the sniper companies are standard establishments.
The regiment leadership consisted of 8 people. The head of the regiment was personally appointed by him Li Jiansheng; He Changming, Secretary of the Party Committee and Political Commissar; Yang Zhishen, deputy head of the military regiment; Cai Zhong, deputy head of the regiment in charge of logistics, baggage and separate units; Yun Tian, deputy regiment commander in charge of special operations; Zhao Boping, Director of the Political Department; Chief of Staff Wang Hanying; Zeng Xiangyang, director of the soldiers' committee.
The combat battalions are numbered as special service battalions, 1st battalion, 2nd battalion, 3rd battalion, and 4th battalion. 350 people per battalion. The combat battalions are numbered from 1 to 12 companies, with three combat companies per battalion. The sequence of the special service battalion is the first, second, and third companies of special agents.
The commander of the special battalion is still Yuntian, Wu Zheng is also the instructor, and the deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor Liu Limin. The first battalion commander Guo Hu, instructor Li Yu, and deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor Niu Dali. Lu Keshan, commander of the second battalion, Su Sai, instructor, and Wang Zhengfei served as deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor. The commander of the third battalion, Guo Da, formerly known as Guo Gang, instructor Qian Zhuangming, and deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor Liu Fei. Liu Fei was a company commander of the original 30th Regiment, with good quality, and his performance has been good after joining the South Hunan Independent Regiment. The commander of the fourth battalion is Yan Dong, the instructor Liu Ye, and the deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor Zheng Da. Zheng Da is a native of Guangdong, born in Orion, and is one of the first members of the Pingshi Party organization to join the South Hunan Independent League.
The training battalion has 280 soldiers, and its subordinates are the first, second, and third companies. Battalion commander Bai Kaishan, instructor Mi Ying, deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor Yu Xiangyang. Yu Xiangyang was also a veteran guerrilla of the original 30th Regiment, and served as a grassroots cadre of the Zixing guerrillas, and later found the South Hunan Independent Regiment. Li Jiansheng noticed that his political and military qualities were still excellent, so he was promoted exceptionally. Under normal circumstances, the training battalion does not participate in battles, but is used as the general reserve of the whole regiment. Usually mainly responsible for two aspects of work: one is to train grassroots backbone cadres; The second is to train new recruits. Most of the soldiers who participated in this training camp were soldiers with better performance and higher skills among the battalions and prisoners.
The camps are set up in the same way as before. In addition to the three combat companies each specialized, there are also five special platoons and one cooking squad directly under the battalion, namely, a reconnaissance platoon, an engineer platoon, a fire support platoon, a guard communications platoon, a logistics platoon, and a cooking squad. Each combat company consists of three combat platoons and several special squads; The battalion has several squads under its direct command of the special platoon.
After announcing the sequence of troops and the military and political commanders of each unit, Li Jiansheng immediately issued an order for rectification and training. He also made it clear that the training would last for one month, and after a month, it would expand outward and wipe out several surrounding counties, mainly targeting the reactionary landlord forces and bandits in the neighboring counties, so as to achieve the goal of raising troops by war!
By that time, it was already more than August 1930. Li Jiansheng, who was familiar with history, knew that Mao, Zhu, Peng, Chen, Wang and others should have established the Central Soviet Region at this time, and they were about to usher in the first anti-encirclement and suppression. If I am not mistaken, three months later, in November, the first anti-encirclement campaign will take place. Li Jiansheng felt that if he didn't seize the time to take advantage of this rare opportunity to develop his strength, it would be absolutely unreasonable.
