The first item on the agenda of the congress was to announce the formal establishment of the "Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi Border Revolutionary Base Areas," which have under the jurisdiction of four major revolutionary base areas that have been connected in southern Hunan, northern Guangdong, northeast Guangxi, and southwestern Jiangxi.

The second item was the proclamation of the formal establishment of the "Provisional Soviet Government of the Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi Revolutionary Base Areas." The chairman of the government is Ho Changming. There are 32 county-level red regimes under its direct jurisdiction, including 18 in southern Hunan, 9 in northern Guangdong, 4 in northeastern Guangxi, and 1 in southeastern Jiangxi. This includes four ethnic minority autonomous counties, namely Fuchuan, Ruyuan, Lianzhou three Yao autonomous counties, and Lianshan Zhuang Yao Autonomous County.

The third item is to announce the formal establishment of the "Red Eighteenth Army". No one can understand why the "XVIII Corps". When discussing the plan drafted by Li Jiansheng, Li Jiansheng's explanation was that at present, the red regime and the red army were everywhere, and his own army was estimated to be the eighteenth, so he chose this. This slightly dispelled everyone's doubts. In fact, only Li Jiansheng himself knows that this "eighteenth" is really because there was the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army later, that is, the Eighth Route Army! It was a brave and warlike army, and I chose this name to get my light on it. In a sense, when Mao and Zhu set up the Red Fourth Army on Jinggang Mountain, why was it "four"? It is also because during the Northern Expedition of the Nationalist Government before, there was a Fourth Army where Ye Ting's Independent Regiment was located, known as the "Iron Army", and the two great men named their army the Fourth Army, and also froused that their troops would become the "Iron Army". The truth is consistent. In Li Jiansheng's opinion, anyway, at this time, the Red Army numbers in various places are chaotic, and he will give this name, regardless of whether there is the same name in the Red Army sequence in other places.

The corps has a corps headquarters. There are seven specialized organs, including the General Staff Office, the Political Office, the Logistics Office, the Equipment Office, the Training Office, the Intelligence and Information Office, and the Security Office.

In Li Jiansheng's first draft, there were no three organs: the Training Department, the Intelligence and Information Department, and the Security Department, but there was a teaching office with the same responsibilities as the Training Department, and an aircraft maintenance office with the same responsibilities as the Intelligence and Information Department, and there was no security office. The first two, at the suggestion of Huang Su, an old political worker from Jinggangshan, changed their names, but their responsibilities were similar; As for the latter, Zhao Boping, who was born in local work, believes that this security office should be set up, and the personnel should be transferred from the guard company, and their duty is to be responsible for protecting the safety of the leaders. Li Jiansheng was reminded by this, and remembered that with the expansion of his troops, he was afraid that there would be enemies and traitors infiltrating him in future battles, so it was necessary to set up this department, so he nodded and agreed. As for the equipment department, everyone was puzzled at first, thinking that it was set up in duplicate with logistics, and there was no need to set up two identical ones. Li Jiansheng specifically pointed out that this equipment is only about weapons, including existing weapons, guns and ammunition, and various weapons newly developed and produced in the future. Logistics is responsible for clothing, food, housing, and transportation, so it should be separated. Only then did everyone understand. Of course, this is just Li Jiansheng's explanation, but he from later generations knows that the troops of later generations have both logistics departments and equipment departments, and he just copies the experience of later generations.

The regiment consists of an artillery regiment, a machine gun regiment, an engineer regiment, a baggage regiment, a special service regiment, a teaching regiment, a guard battalion, a sniper company, a reconnaissance company, a communications company, a cooking class, a field hospital, a weapons development institute, and a clothing factory.

In the first draft of Li Jiansheng's reorganization of the army, there were no artillery regiments and machine gun regiments, but there were fire support battalions. Later, after discussing with several other people, it was felt necessary to set up two separate fire agencies to be responsible for fire support. Li Jiansheng felt reasonable after thinking about it, so he agreed. What's more, after several years of development, not to mention that its own weapons research and development institute has been able to produce some earthen cannons, there are quite a few cannons that were originally captured from Tan Xiuming's department. Therefore, the artillery regiment he set up this time included a 60 mountain artillery battalion, a 75 mountain artillery battalion, and an earth artillery battalion. The mountain artillery of the 60 Mountain Artillery Battalion includes two batches, the first batch was captured from the 27th and 33rd regiments of the original Zhou Hunyuan Division, with a total of 22 60 mountain guns; The second batch was 30 Type 60 mountain guns seized from Tan Xiuming's department. This time, in addition to the 22 guns assigned to some grassroots units, the other 30 mountain artillery pieces were reorganized into three 60 mountain artillery companies, which were incorporated into this artillery regiment. As for the 75 Mountain Artillery Battalion, it also includes two batches, the first batch was also captured from the 27th and 33rd regiments of the original Zhou Hunyuan Division, with a total of 10 75 mountain guns; The second batch was 30 75 mountain guns collected from Tan Xiuming's department. Li Jiansheng assigned 19 of them to grassroots combat units, and the other 21 were built into three companies, which were also included in this artillery regiment. As for the earthen artillery battalion, the equipment was relatively easy to assemble, because the earthen cannon was made by Li Jiansheng's weapon development. Although the power is not as good as these standard mountain artillery, it is better to "develop it by itself", so the number is more, and one battalion is equipped with 40 guns! Another about 60 pieces of equipment are equipped to various grassroots units!

As for the machine-gun regiment, it included one heavy machine-gun battalion and two light machine-gun battalions. Li Jiansheng did not have many heavy machine guns at hand, and the total number of them was only 42. Light machine guns are good, there are more than 160 of them. To this end, 18 heavy machine guns were specially used to form a heavy machine gun battalion, and 36 light machine guns were organized into two light machine gun battalions. The remaining light and heavy machine guns are all equipped with grass-roots units.

The engineer regiment is composed of the original reinforced engineer company and some new recruits. The baggage regiment was formed by enriching the original reinforced baggage company. The special service regiment was formed by the integration of the original 1st Special Service Battalion, part of the reconnaissance company, and part of the reinforced sniper company. The teaching regiment was formed by the integration of the original training battalion and a veteran. The guard battalion was formed by the original reinforced guard company, and some soldiers of the reconnaissance company and some soldiers of the sniper company. The sniper company and reconnaissance company were all reorganized from the original reinforced sniper company and reinforced reconnaissance company, and are now established as standard companies. The field hospital was upgraded from the medical team of the South Hunan Independent Regiment originally set up by Li Jiansheng, and the original Yao sisters, except for Kai Yunlei and Yun Bei and Lao Jue, were all merged into this institution as a whole. Fortunately, Li Jiansheng has always recruited many medical practitioners who are willing to join the Red Army, although it still does not reach the standard scale of field hospitals, but this frame has been set up, and the strength is not very bad. Of course, because there were not many Western medicine doctors and Western medicine in the hospital, and most of them were "barefoot doctors" from the people, Li Jiansheng planned in advance to divide the entire field hospital into two subspecialties: Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. At present, there are only two physicians in Western medicine, and Western medicine was also purchased when they occupied the counties; The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a large number of people, including Yao doctors, Zhuang doctors and Han doctors, with a total number of 16 people, who mostly use herbal medicines, and the scale is not small. As for the weapons development institute, it is now at least three times the size of the original. The scale of the quilt factory has also increased a lot. The cooking class is still Li Dayuan's class.
