When Li Jiansheng told Xu Zhengfang about this idea, the old party member left excitedly. Li Jiansheng smiled and looked at his back, a warmth floated in his heart, but he felt that there seemed to be something behind him, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw the five female soldiers sitting in a group looking at the map, which were the five little girls such as the Shen family sisters, the Yun family sisters and Lao Jue. At this moment, all five pairs of hot eyes were projected on him. Li Jiansheng felt a little bad, so he hurriedly didn't turn around, and thought about going out again, but he was welcoming the political commissar Huang Su in.

You can read the joy on that face. Huang Su's young and handsome face was full of rigidity, and now he was full of joy. As soon as he entered the door, he glanced at Li Jiansheng with a smile, and then at the five young girls behind him who were "concentrating" on the map, and smiled at Li Jiansheng: "It's really yours!" ”

Li Jiansheng smiled slightly, knowing that he was referring to the total annihilation of the enemy's three divisions this time, he was also very happy in his heart, and said immediately: "It's all the result of everyone's efforts!" Huang Su nodded. He also discussed with Li Jiansheng some matters concerning the next step up of army reorganization. Regarding the transformation of prisoners, the two people had the same opinion, and in the end, Huang Su personally took care of this work. So he went first. Looking at Huang Su's back, Li Jiansheng sighed: "It's really good to have such a big brother-level political commissar at the head, I can be lazy!" ”

He thought like this, but he didn't know that the soldiers had already regarded him as a god, and at this moment, his prestige was in the entire legion, and it was Xiang Feng. Not only because of the three divisions of the enemy, but also the change of clothes made everyone happy. Later, some soldiers chatted with other friendly and neighboring troops, and this war was a must-talk. In the end, everyone often ends with this sentence: "Alas, I think that when we were the commander of the legion, that weapon was up to us!" Boy, the weapon we just captured from the enemy, this gun can not get twenty shots except for military training, damn, you can replace it with a new one! Enough bullets! With this sentence, the friendly and neighboring troops immediately stopped, and the eighteenth army was born there triumphantly. As for those new backbones from the Central Soviet District, after this battle, they also completely identified with this young corps commander and fully integrated into the Red Eighteenth Army Corps.

As soon as the battle is over, it is time to rest, reorganize the army, reward the assembly, convert the prisoners, and so on. Li Jiansheng has no plans to set up a new system. Of these 6,000 people, more than 5,800 were willing to join the Red Army. Li Jiansheng transferred more than 5,800 people, in addition to about 300 artillery and heavy fireman, another more than 500 people were added to the original formed units, and the remaining 4,900 people were all scattered and organized into 16 battalions, which were respectively assigned to a total of 16 regiments from the 3rd Red Regiment to the 18th Red Regiment. This brilliant victory allowed Li Jiansheng's department to recruit nearly 1,000 new soldiers, and in addition to the two new recruits who were equipped with the Red 1st Regiment and the Red 2nd Regiment, the remaining 300 people were selected by various units. Because of the abundance of weapons, the large number of backbones brought from the Central Soviet Region last time, and the fact that some of the soldiers captured this time were party members, mainly from the 6th Division of the Cantonese Army, the strength of these newly formed battalions was not weak.

In this year of 1932, everyone spent it in training!

Eating three elite divisions in one fell swoop shook the whole country. Both the Kuomintang authorities, and the Soviet districts of the Red Army. After receiving the news through the telegram, Mao, Zhu, Zhou and other great people were extremely excited and sent congratulatory telegrams one after another. As for Chairman Jiang, he was so angry that he scolded him and made up his mind to eliminate this group of red bandits.

Obviously, he didn't want Li Jiansheng and others to have a good year. This was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and news came from Li Jiansheng's intelligence clues, showing that the troops of Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces had begun to assemble to carry out the second joint encirclement and suppression of Li Jiansheng's revolutionary base area.

On the one hand, Li Jiansheng stepped up the training of soldiers, and specially allocated 1 million silver dollars to the intelligence personnel of the secret front, and then asked the corps staff office to quickly make a detailed plan for dealing with the battle.

Three days later, the intelligence feedback came back, showing that the 7th Independent Division of the Jiangxi enemy, the 22nd Brigade of the Jiangxi enemy, the 91st Division of the Hunan enemy and three local security regiments, the 5th Division and two local security regiments of the Gui enemy, the 2nd Division of the 1st Army of Yu Hanmou, the Guangdong enemy, and the 5th Division of the 2nd Army of Xianghanping. A total of five divisions, one brigade, and five local security regiments, with a total strength of more than 45,000 troops, nearly twice the size of Li Jiansheng's unit, instructed He Jian, chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, to organize a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the area.

On 4 March, troops drawn from Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, and other areas entered Hunan one after another and arrived at their designated positions. Among them, the 5th Division of Guangxi was stationed in Yongzhou City, the 2nd Division of Guangdong Guidong and the 5th Division were stationed in Yongxing, the 91st Division of Hunan was stationed in Hengnan and Changning, the 7th Division of Jiangxi was stationed in Leiyang, and the 22nd Brigade was stationed in Chenzhou. According to He Jian's meaning, each department was divided into three columns, the 5th Division of Guangxi and the 91st Division of Hunan on the West Road Column, and a total of 5 security regiments, the 7th Independent Division and the 22nd Independent Brigade of Jiangxi in the Middle Road Column, and the 2nd and 5th Divisions of the Guangdong Division of the East Road Column. Of course, the target is still the center of the Hunan Jiangxi, Guizhou and Guangdong border Soviet districts, Yizhang County!

Li Jiansheng immediately ordered all the divisions to assemble near Yizhang, and he himself asked the military and political leaders of the divisions to participate in the pre-war discussion. During the discussion, Bai Kaishan, Peng Zhi, and others advocated that the troops could go south to attack Shaoguan or north to attack Hengyang, which was a typical strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao," that is, attacking the enemy must be saved, and it could cause a sensational effect, so as to force the Kuomintang troops to go on the defensive and abandon their "encirclement and suppression." This view was also endorsed by several division-level commanders. Li Jiansheng thought about it carefully and felt that this plan seemed very good, but it was very difficult to implement: if he went north to attack Hengyang, if he was not careful, not to mention whether he could attack or not, even if he captured it, the attacking army would definitely fall into a heavy siege, which would be equivalent to destruction; As for going south to Shaoguan, it is more likely, but once this happens, it is difficult to say whether it can really break the enemy's encirclement and suppression, and it may also cause the encirclement of Yu Hanmou and Xianghanping. Therefore, this is not a good plan.

After thinking about it again, he proposed at the moment that in a situation where the Red Army and the Soviet area had not yet been consolidated and the enemy was strong and we were weak, it was not appropriate to break away from the Soviet area and rashly attack the big cities. In the face of the large-scale "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang troops, it is necessary to take the initiative to retreat, lure the enemy into the Soviet area, discover and create the enemy's weak points, rely on the support of the people in the Soviet area, choose a battlefield conducive to the Red Army's operations, concentrate forces on a timely counteroffensive, and annihilate the enemy in the movement in order to smash its "encirclement and suppression."

On March 6, the 18th Army of the Red Army adopted the strategic policy of "luring the enemy into depth" at the Yizhang Conference, and decided that the main forces of the Red Army, including the 1st to 5th Divisions of the Red Army, should all infiltrate Linwu and fight in the mountainous area between Linwu and Yizhang, where the terrain and mass conditions were better; Once again, the Red Sixth Division served as a partial division, and all of them infiltrated Mangshan and were responsible for protecting the various government offices in the Soviet area.

Accordingly, the party, government, army, and people in the Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Guangdong border Soviet regions took swift action to carry out political mobilization, carry out the practice of clearing the wilderness on strong walls, deploy guerrilla warfare, and establish organizations to support the Red Army's operations, and so on, so as to make preparations for opposing "encirclement and suppression."
