The question is, who is it after now? To attack the Yu Han Mou Department in northern Guangdong, it is difficult to attack from a long distance, and it may not be able to catch up with the enemy's retreat speed, so he will not choose; Fighting the Jiangxi enemy in the southeast of Hunan is also a long-distance attack, not chosen; Fight the Gui Army again? It is estimated that it will not be able to hit, and at the moment the 74th Division and the 9th Division are running faster than monkeys, and they can't fight. In the end, there was only the Hunan enemy. First, the distance is not too far, and I have a head; second, the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Gui army, and it is easier to fight; Three, this time it was He Jian who was responsible for exterminating himself on the North Road, and he didn't react much when he fought other troops, but if he annihilated the Hunan enemy with his own department, he might have a long memory! Well, just hit He Jian's department!

The idea was certain, and he immediately asked the staff office to draw up a battle plan, and reported the situation to Huang Su, who agreed with Li Jiansheng's opinion and said that he personally led the Red 2nd Division to help. Li Jiansheng nodded. An appointment was made.

On the morning of the third day, the Red 1st Division and the Red 8th Division were left to continue to rest, while the remaining 5 divisions and troops directly under the corps advanced rapidly and came straight to the direction of Leiyang. The Red 2nd Division also came to Leiyang under the leadership of Huang Su.

As Li Jiansheng guessed, after getting the news that the military headquarters of the 45th Army had been terminated and the four entire divisions had been destroyed, all the officers and commanders of the troops who had entered the base area were stunned. You know, this is not another army, this is the Gui army! Their combat effectiveness, then we can see it! -- As a result, all the units involved in the "encirclement and suppression" invariably chose to withdraw their troops. It's just that the retreat is too slow. The 46th Division of the 25th Army of the Hunan Army He Jian was a little slower, and was surrounded by red bandits at the peak between Changning and Guiyang, and waited for the 45th Division of the 25th Army to come to the rescue, and the 46th Division was completely annihilated. Fortunately, the 45th Division saw the opportunity quickly and immediately retreated, but despite this, it was still chased and beaten by the red bandits and "lost" its combat effectiveness! In the battle, Li Jiansheng's troops won both battles and captured nearly 5,000 enemies.

When this news came out, without waiting for He Jian's order, the southern and northern Kuomintang troops that had entered the revolutionary base areas in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi retreated on all fronts, and they were very fast. Two days later, there were no more enemy troops in the base area. Of course, when the troops were withdrawn, because the divisions of Li Jiansheng's division continued to divide their troops to pursue and destroy, the five armies of He Jian's division left a total of no less than one division and a large number of supplies. Li Jiansheng's troops captured more than 1,300 people.

At this point, the third joint encirclement and suppression carried out by the Kuomintang authorities in the revolutionary base areas of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi ended with a complete victory for Li Jiansheng's troops. The battle, from March 1933 to May, ended with the total annihilation of 5 entire divisions of the enemy army and the total number of 6 and a half divisions of the enemy!

When the news of the victory in the Great War came, the base area was full of songs and laughter. Li Jiansheng's prestige has been unprecedentedly enhanced! As for weapons and equipment, they have also been replenished like never before!

The ministries immediately rested. But Li Jiansheng, Huang Su and others did not have to rest, because in addition to the more than 12,000 prisoners, there were still a large number of young people to join the army. Encouraged by the successive victories, the young people in the base area enthusiastically joined the army; That's not all, the news came out, and many young people near the base also rushed over. In addition, what Li Jiansheng didn't expect the most was that there was a guerrilla force in Guizhou, which was close to the base area, and two guerrilla units in Sichuan, both of which asked to join Li Jiansheng's department as a whole! This makes Li Jiansheng's department face a new expansion of more than 19,000 troops!

Li Jiansheng secretly calculated that the Kuomintang troops would next carry out the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign against the central Soviet region, and it was estimated that they would not launch a major offensive against their base area for the time being, which would obviously help him reorganize his army. If the idea is so certain, there is an idea. After discussing with Huang Su at the moment, it was decided to continue to reorganize the army under the condition of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the main force of the corps:

First, the establishment of the Red 9th Division and the Red 10th Division. An old regiment was drawn from the 5th and 7th Red Divisions to form the skeleton of the Red 9th Division, with He Jingsheng as the division commander, Lu Binggui as the political commissar and Zhu Linlin as the chief of staff. An old regiment was drawn from the 6th and 8th Red Divisions to form the skeleton of the Red 10th Division, with Wang Zigui of the old Red Army as the division commander, Zhu Ting of the old Red Army as the political commissar, and Zhang Sai, Li Jiansheng's old subordinate, as the chief of staff. The regiments vacant in each division were all selected from prisoners and recruits to ensure the size of three regiments of the main force of each division. In this round, the two new divisions needed to consume a total of nearly 8,000 soldiers, and after the battle losses of the original divisions were replenished, about 2,000 people were consumed. The original machine gun brigade directly under the corps was expanded into a machine gun division, under the jurisdiction of two brigades and four regiments of light and heavy machine gun units. The original commanders of the two brigades were automatically promoted to divisional commanders. The engineer regiment was upgraded to an engineer brigade with two regiments, and the baggage regiment was upgraded to a baggage brigade with two regiments. The commanders of the original two regiments were automatically promoted to brigade commanders. This one went back and forth, and more than 4,000 soldiers were consumed.

Third, the three newly joined guerrilla units were reorganized into three special service companies, which together formed a special service battalion, which, together with the existing special service regiment of the 18th Army of the Red Army, was jointly organized into a brand-new special service brigade of four battalions directly under the central government. The former commander of the special service group was automatically promoted to the commander of the special service brigade. The main leaders of the three guerrilla units, Huang Chuming, Zhang Ziyang, and Yang Feng, each had appointments. Zhang Ziyang was appointed commander of the newly organized special service battalion, Yang Feng was appointed political commissar, and Huang Chuming was promoted by one level to deputy brigade commander of the special service brigade, partnering with Wu Zheng and Lu Shulin.

Fourth, the field hospital of the former 45th Army was merged with the field hospital of the former Red Eighteenth Army Corps, but it was still divided into two departments: Chinese medicine and Western medicine. It is under the control of Xu Zhengfang.

Fifth, the remaining 5,000 or so people were organized into five independent regiments and trained on the spot.

As soon as the plan for reorganizing the army was announced, all units immediately put into action and quickly reorganized the army in accordance with the plans of the General Staff Office and the Training Department. The most awesome are Liu Fugui and Liu Limin. The two of them are in charge of heavy firepower weapons, but their eyes are very hot. As a result, three days before the order was obtained, everyone still only cared about the whole army; However, as soon as the work of reorganizing the army was initially completed, the two new commanders were forced to entertain them. When Li Jiansheng and Huang Su learned about this, they only smiled slightly.

As soon as the reorganization of the army was completed, the large-scale military training operation was immediately launched. More than a month later, the initial effect was reflected. Of course, this is due to the fact that most of these recruits are the original regular army with foundations, and some of those who take the initiative to join are hot-blooded young people, who endure hardships and hard work, so they make rapid progress.

Li Jiansheng was very happy, and together with Huang Su, he sank to the front line to personally guide the development of the troops. Watching the troops progress day by day, Li Jiansheng was happy from the bottom of his heart. A few months later, news came from the central government that the enemy's fourth counter-encirclement campaign had been repulsed and ended with an unprecedented victory! When the news came, Li Jiansheng was so happy that he kept his mouth shut and continued to step up the reorganization of the army.

However, at this time, something happened that all the commanders and fighters of the Red Eighteenth Legion could not have imagined, and the direct target of this matter was Li Jiansheng, the commander of the Red Eighteenth Legion!
