Chapter 3: Triumph (3)
I slept well. Li Jiansheng felt that this might be the most solid sleep he had in the past few years. This one slept until noon the next day. When he woke up and went out, he found that the guard Tian Shangwu was still standing straight at the door. My heart warmed, knowing that this kid was only afraid of protecting himself and didn't sleep last night, and I felt a little sorry in my heart. I was about to say something, but I saw a few pretty girls standing in the courtyard. I all know each other, the two at the top of the line are the sisters Shen Pheasant and Shen Ying, and the few on the left are the sisters of the Lao family and the Bai family, who were brought over from Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, and they are veterans. The few on the right are several female college students who later joined the army, and the leader is Shang Zhiyuan. Li Jiansheng looked at it, it was estimated that something was wrong, but he was a little strange in his heart, these girls were together, it should be squeaky and chirping, why is the water quiet now? Fortunately, he lowered his head slightly, saw Tian Shangwu beside him, and immediately knew what was going on. Eighty percent of the time he gave the girls a warning. I nodded secretly in my heart.
Just thinking about this, Lao Yan spoke first, it turned out that the troops received an order to rest and recuperate yesterday, but a large number of young people in her hometown had already rushed to the base area before the troops came back, wanting to meet with the chief. Li Jiansheng was about to make a statement, but Shang Zhiyuan spoke first, saying that Political Commissar Luo, Chief of Staff Zeng, Director Li, Deputy Chief of Staff Yuan, and Deputy Chief of Staff Xu were all at the meeting, and they were already waiting for the commander-in-chief. Although he was indeed a little hungry when he saw the food boxes carried by the Shen family sisters, Li Jiansheng became more and more apologetic when he heard that so many important military and political figures from the front army were waiting for him in the conference room. I guessed that it was the result of Tian Shangwu's blocking, but seeing that Comrade Oda hadn't slept all night to defend himself, he couldn't get angry. At that moment, he had a plan in his heart, his face sank, and he shouted to Tian Shangwu: So many leaders are here, why don't you wake me up? Punish you to go to bed now and come back this time tomorrow! Natian Shangwu is also a clever person, as early as when Shang Zhiyuan reported, he noticed that the commander-in-chief's face condensed, and he had already seen Li Jiansheng's enemy who was silent at present, so he knew that there might be something overdone this time, and he had already estimated that he would be criticized. But he has been with Li Jiansheng for a while, he knows a lot about Li Jiansheng, and he also admires him very much, and he has made up his mind that no matter how the chief criticizes himself, he will resolutely not return the favor and resolutely implement it. It's just that he was thinking about being punished, but he didn't expect such a punishment, and he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up and saw Li Jiansheng's serious expression, his heart was inexplicably warm. Knowing that the chief is very safe in the base area right now, and the chief's punishment for himself, the blind man can also see that it is to protect himself. Don't hesitate now. I saw him put his feet together, looked at his waist, and when he saluted, he shouted: "Yes!" After saying that, he ran away and saw that he had taken a shower and gone to sleep.
Li Jiansheng didn't have time to eat, so he nodded at the Shen family sisters, and followed Shang Zhiyuan quickly, leaving a few Yao family sisters and Shen family sisters there. Not to mention what the girls thought in their hearts, but they all knew the current situation, so they followed and left, each busy: Lao and Bai Yao sisters divided into two waves, one to receive people from their hometown, and the other to the hospital to wait for work arrangements. And the Shen sisters ran straight to the confidential room.
Not to mention the whereabouts of a few girls, but to say that Li Jiansheng came directly to the conference room, only to find that several leaders of the front army, as well as the heads of various divisions and brigades directly under the front were waiting in the conference room. Li Jiansheng looked at it and sighed secretly, fortunately, this conference room is relatively large, and there are so many people.
Speaking of this conference room, it was the headquarters of the detachment directly under the Shaanxi Garrison Command of the original Kuomintang troops in Tongguan. Since the last time Li Jiansheng's troops were defeated, they have been occupying Tongguan, a strategic place. To say, how many times did Li Jiansheng come to Tongguan in his later life, but at that time, Tongguan was already a famous tourist attraction in China, and there was no situation of soldiers and horses facing each other at all; But now it is different, this is where Li Jiansheng's Red Third Front Headquarters is located. Although it does not have the prosperity of later generations, it also has its unique charm. Before Li Jiansheng's headquarters occupied this place, the Shaanxi Garrison Command of the Kuomintang troops stationed a regimental detachment here. At that time, it was the Red 18th Division of the Red Third Front Army, Niu Dali, and Bai Kaishan who attacked this place. Niu Dali's initial cultural level was the lowest among the commanders and brigade commanders of the 6th Division and 5th Brigade of Li Jiansheng's department, but he was willing to learn, his brain was quick to respond, and he had many ideas, and he won the true biography of Li Jiansheng in the battle, so he made rapid progress, and now he is fully capable of being the head of the division. When attacking Tongguan, he learned the essence of Li Jiansheng, that is, the so-called "lion fights rabbit, still go all out", so although he knew that Tongguan only had a considerable strength of one regiment and was stationed in the so-called garrison detachment, but considering that the strategic significance of this place was very important, there could not be any difference in this battle, so he still sent all the five main regiments and one independent regiment under the jurisdiction of a whole division, and finally naturally wrapped a dumpling. The entire regiment-level garrison detachment of more than 1,000 people did not miss a single person, even weapons, food, men and horses, were completely annihilated by Niu Dali's subordinates, which made political commissar Bai Kaishan and chief of staff Luo Kaikai laugh out loud. As for the detachment leader of the Kuomintang troops, he died in the chaos; The chief of staff reversed quickly and surrendered immediately, leaving a life. The result is still the same: the rest of the department is broken up and reorganized, and the chief of staff Luo Kai is very handy in doing this. Therefore, after the regiment-level detachment was annihilated on the spot, the independent regiment of the Red 18th Division under Niu Dali and Bai Kaishan was immediately upgraded to the 6th Regiment of the main force, and the remnants of the Kuomintang garrison regiment of more than 700 people were scattered, and more than 500 of them were assigned to various regiments under the jurisdiction of the division, but the more than 500 old Red Army soldiers who returned to each regiment in each regiment at a ratio of 1:1, as well as the remaining more than 200 people of the original regiment, plus more than 300 people from Yuan Guoping's recruit training command, and the backbone of each regiment of the Red 18th Division. In just three days, the new independent regiment of the 18th Red Division was formed. This made the Red 18th Division under Niu Dali and Bai Kaishan the third integrated division under Li Jiansheng to have 7 regiments, including 6 main regiments, after the Red 15th Division and the Red 16th Division. Division Commander Niu Dali, Political Commissar Bai Kaishan, and Chief of Staff Luo Kaikai led the Red 17th Division to make great strides with the Red 15th Division led by division commander Yan Dong, political commissar Su Sai, and Chief of Staff Yang Huwei, as well as the Red 16th Division led by division commander Yang Zhishen, political commissar Su Zhengfei, and chief of staff Liu Qiao, all of which were seven regiments under their jurisdiction. The slight difference is that all 7 regiments of the Red 15th Division are the main regiments, while the Red 16th Division and the Red 18th Division have only 6 main regiments and 1 independent regiment. This time, the Red 17th Division was red-eyed, and the division commander Lu Keshan complained to the political commissar Guo Zhengjun to death. At that time, when the front army determined the task, Guo Zhengjun attended the meeting, but the task was not won, which was regarded as a missed opportunity, so how could Division Commander Lu Keshan, who has always taken the headquarters as the first-class main division, swallow this breath? The political commissar was scolded by the division commander so much that he couldn't raise his head, which was the first time in the Red 17th Division. Fortunately, Chief of Staff Qian Zhuangming persuaded the two of them that the next time they had a chance, they would swallow up one of the enemy's divisions at once, and they were afraid that they would not be able to reorganize three regiments? When the time comes to surpass the Red 15th Division, isn't that still a little more arrogant? In this way, the Red 17th Division returned to a harmonious atmosphere. Of course, this is all for later, and I will talk about it next time.
Besides, since Li Jiansheng's unit occupied Tongguan, because Li Jiansheng knew the strategic significance of it, and estimated that according to the official history, the next nearly two years will usher in the best opportunity for the Red Army to develop and consolidate the base area, so after the Red 18th Division captured Tongguan in the first battle, it asked Niu Dali, Bai Kaishan, and Luo Kai to seriously manage this place. To tell the truth, Niu Dali's ability in this place is average, but fortunately, he came from a poor rural area step by step, and knows the suffering of the masses here, so he is very attentive. As for Bai Kaishan, that is an old political worker, and this is his job. And Luo Kai can be regarded as a rare Kochi in Li Jiansheng's department. You must know that this kid was a major officer in the Kuomintang army before, and before that, he was a serious college student, and later went to the Kuomintang army military academy. It was only when he was in college that he was influenced by Max's ideas that he joined the underground party in a military school. Therefore, it is easy to do this kind of thing. No, how can there be a scene in the war in Tongguan now? It's completely prosperous! And Li Jiansheng's front army headquarters is naturally settled here!
Tongguan is located in the north of Tongguan County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, bordering the Yellow River in the north and the mountainside in the south. "Notes on the Book of Water" contains: "The river flows south of Tongjiguan Mountain in the Guan, because it is called Tongguan. It was founded in the first year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (196). Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. Tongguan was located at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Guancheng was built on the loess plateau, the Sui Dynasty moved south for several miles, and the Tang Wu Dynasty moved north to the lower part of the plateau, forming the old site of Tongguan City today. And Li Jiansheng's department is centered on Tongguan and radiates to the surroundings. Due east, it is connected with the base areas of Liu Zhidan, Xu Haidong, and Xi Zhongxun of the Northern Shaanxi Red Army, and now the Red Army has joined forces with the Red Army of Northern Shaanxi, and is developing a newly opened up base area. To the southeast, it was the base of the Red Fourth Front Army. To the south, it was the base area opened up by the First Division of the Red Second Front Army. At present, the four main forces of the Red Army have formed a rallying scene, and the red base areas have been connected into a large area, and there is a burning trend.
