Chapter 83: The Establishment of the Red Eighteenth Army (3)

Lu Keshan, commander of the Third Division, Guo Da, political commissar, now renamed Guo Zhengjun, and the chief of staff is Qian Zhuangming, the former instructor of the old third battalion. The first two are old Red Army and old Jinggang, and they are also the old subordinates that Li Jiansheng has been bringing over, with strong combat effectiveness, and Li Jiansheng is relieved. Qian Zhuangming made rapid progress and had knowledge and level, and Li Jiansheng proposed him to take up this position.

The commander of the Fourth Division, Yan Dong, the political commissar Su Sai, and Yang Huwei served as the chief of staff. Yan Dong is a very good commander with a strong sense of the overall situation. Su Sai turned out to be a member of the local party committee, but later Li Jiansheng saw that it was good, so he asked him to join the army. This man is really good, he has a very good set of ideological work, and he has developed very well in the army, so Li Jiansheng will directly promote him to the leadership position of the division.

Niu Dali, commander of the Fifth Division, Bai Kaishan, political commissar, and Luo Kai served as deputy division commander and chief of staff. The first two are Li Jiansheng's old subordinates, and the latter one admires Li Jiansheng very much at the moment! As soon as the three of them heard that Li Jiansheng had asked them to take such an important position, they all responded happily.

The commander of the Sixth Division, Hu Tingquan, and the political commissar Cai Zhong. Liu Ye, the former instructor of the old fourth battalion of the Shonan Independent Regiment, served as the chief of staff. At the beginning, when he heard that one of the newly recruited cadres in his army was Hu Tingquan, Li Jiansheng couldn't help but be shocked. Because this person was the acting political commissar of the former Red 10th Army during the Long March of the Red Army in the Central Soviet Region, and later died! At the beginning, he planned to let this Comrade Hu serve as the head of the corps, but later Hu Tingquan himself asked to go to the grassroots level, and Li Jiansheng arranged for him to be the commander of the Sixth Division, which was equivalent to his position when he came to southern Hunan. Therefore, at present, he is holding the position of division commander in the Central Red Army. Cai Zhong is a veteran party member in the local area, and he has been assisting Li Jiansheng all the time, doing the work of a political commissar, and this time he partnered with Comrade Lao Hu.

Liu Fugui was the head of the artillery regiment directly under the corps, and Huang Fengke, a veteran of the Red Army in the Central Soviet District, was appointed political commissar.

Liu Limin, the former deputy commander of the training battalion of the South Hunan Independent Regiment, was solid in his work, energetic, and fond of machine guns, and was highly favored by Li Jiansheng, so he was directly promoted to the head of the machine gun regiment this time. The political commissar of the machine gun regiment was Wang Zhengfei, deputy commander of the old third battalion.

Peng Xu, the head of the engineering regiment, was originally the commander of an engineering company in the Yu Han Mou Department, an underground party member, and a leader of one of the few engineering soldiers born in a professional class. Lin Dazhi, the head of the baggage regiment, Li Jiansheng's old subordinate, and the former deputy battalion commander of the baggage battalion. The political commissar of the baggage regiment was concurrently served by Xu Zhengfang. The head of the special service regiment was Wu Zheng, the former instructor of the special service battalion, and the political commissar was Lu Shulin, a veteran of the Red Army. Yu Xiangyang, the former deputy commander and deputy instructor of the teaching battalion, was promoted to the head of the teaching regiment, and Mi Ying, the former instructor of the teaching camp, served as the political commissar of the teaching regiment.

The commander of the guard battalion was Li Zhi. Xu Jinsong continued to serve as Li Jiansheng's personal guard. The commander of the reconnaissance company is still Xu Kai. The commander of the sniper company was served by sharpshooter Fan Feng, who was originally a sharpshooter, and later grew rapidly under the guidance of Li Jiansheng, and was entrusted with an important task by Li Jiansheng this time. The former sniper company commander was promoted to the regimental guard battalion as deputy battalion commander, responsible for teaching the guards battalion soldiers marksmanship. The commander of the communications company was appointed Huayun, and Ou Zhengping was appointed instructor. Li Dayuan, the leader of the cooking class. The director of the field hospital was Yun Bin, an old physician and compatriot of the Yao nationality. The director of the weapons research and development institute is still Liu Laohan. He Xiaolu, the director of the clothing factory. He Xiaolu also served as the deputy director of the logistics department.

It turned out that Li Jiansheng brought ten from Jinggangshan, in addition to the above positions, the rest have also been promoted to the head of the main regiment.

After announcing this, Li Jiansheng demanded that all troops immediately assemble in Yizhang in southern Hunan and Lechang in northern Guangdong for unified reorganization. The entire reintegration process was completed within three days, after which the units immediately entered into a state of reorganization. After the reorganization was completed, the first and second divisions were stationed in southern Xiangnan, and the station was in Yizhang; The 3rd and 4th Divisions were stationed in northern Guangdong and stationed in Lechang; The 5th Division was stationed in the northeast of Gui and was stationed in Bucheon; The Sixth Division was stationed in southwest Jiangxi and stationed in Nanxiong.

By this time, the uniforms of the various units were still uniform, but the weapons were still seriously insufficient. Only 6 divisions with a total of less than 5 divisions of fighters are equipped with weapons. Therefore, Li Jiansheng asked all units to pay attention to collecting the enemy's weapons when stepping up training. In order to strengthen the training achievements of various units, Li Jiansheng proposed that the whole army hold a three-month intensive training, and said that after one month, a major skill competition would be held among various units. The content of the competition includes literacy, map literacy, military posture, shooting, fighting, stabbing, bomb throwing, weight-bearing marching, armed diving, digging trenches, wilderness survival, etc., with a total of more than 20 items in 4 categories.

The General Staff and Training Services have developed detailed intensive training plans. And the final reward is even more eye-catching: the corps commander personally proposed that one month later, the first month of the competition will be evaluated, and all those who win the individual championships will be awarded by the head of the corps, and the winning officers and soldiers will personally wear big red flowers.

It was an effective proposal that immediately caused a strong response throughout the Legion. Li Jiansheng's various departments were enthusiastic, and they quickly threw themselves into the large-scale training and competition. Li Jiansheng and the leaders of the various corps also took the form of contracting troops, and all of them went down to the front line. Li Jiansheng went directly to the Fifth Division stationed in Buchuan, the political commissar to the Second Division, Yuntian to the First Division, Peng Zhi to the Sixth Division, Zhou Pei to the Fourth Division, and Wang Hanying to the Third Division. These corps-level chiefs are all first-class technical top-notch, and this has caused the divisional-level commanders of each division to descend to the regiment, the regimental-level commander-in-chief to the battalion, and the battalion-level commander-in-chief to the company. The effect is obvious.

By the end of the first month, a total of 18 officers and soldiers had won a total of 25 championships. You Juncai, the most powerful soldier of the Fifth Division, won four individual championships in stabbing, bomb throwing, trench digging, and armed swimming. According to what was said in advance, the Red Eighteenth Army specially held a grand meeting to unify the divisions to Yizhang. In front of everyone, Li Jiansheng and other regiment leaders personally presented certificates, bonuses and red flowers to the winners. Li Jiansheng's unique discovery of the seedling You Jun is the biggest harvester this time, and the flower on his chest was personally worn by Li Jiansheng. Li Jiansheng even announced in public that He Juncai was directly appointed as the deputy company commander of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment of the Fifth Division, which is also the sharp knife company of the Fifth Division.

As for the shooting champions, there are two, one is a professional shooter of a sniper unit, and the other is an ordinary shooter of other units. The former is a veteran Luo Shun, and the latter is a recruit named Chen Weicai. Chen Weicai joined the army in Bucheon, and he was born in Orion. Li Jiansheng also personally gave him a big red flower, but this kid was very moved! I was so excited that I cried on the spot.

Looking at Chen Weicai, who was in tears in front of him, Li Jiansheng, who was standing on the rostrum, was also infected, and he was full of emotion, only feeling that he was really right about doing this, and sighed that this kind of encouragement method from later generations was really good, because the effect was so good that people wanted to cry with excitement. Including him, the head of the legion!
