Li Jiansheng discussed with He Changming, Cai Zhong, Zhao Boping, Yang Zhishen, Yun Tian, Zeng Xiangyang, Wang Hanying and several others, and decided to use the enemy's main force to besiege the central Soviet area and launch an offensive to deal with the Central Red Army. That is, 16 independent battalions in each county were immediately assembled, and 6 independent battalions were used to defend the revolutionary base areas in southern Hunan in a centralized manner, under the unified command of He Changming; The other 10 local independent battalions, the main force of the fourth battalion, and the independent regiment directly under the Guiyang independent battalion, a total of 12 battalions, under the unified command of Yang Zhishen and Cai Zhong, concentrated superior forces to attack Leiyang in Hengyang, and made a northward posture; If possible, it is also possible to consolidate this place as part of the base area. Li Jiansheng, Zhao Boping, Yun Tian, and a few others led the main force to cross the Mang Mountains and go straight to Guangdong, where they fought several major battles in northern Guangdong, annihilated one of the enemy, and established some base areas as much as possible to deal a heavy blow to the enemy and flank the central Soviet region as much as possible. In addition, He Changming and the county Soviet power were to take charge of the day-to-day affairs of the southern Hunan Soviet area, make every effort to consolidate the red power, and vigorously develop production to meet the needs of the base areas and the supply of troops.

The characters from all walks of life agreed one by one, discussed some details in detail, and then went their separate ways. Li Jiansheng's reconnaissance company took action in advance. According to Li Jiansheng's intentions, he first explored the intelligence in the areas of Shaoguan and Qingyuan in Guangdong. Zhao Boping moved with the reconnaissance company, got in touch with the party organization in advance, and inspected some candidates who might later become leaders of the local Soviet power. At this time, the radio station was already preliminarily equipped. Zhao Boping took a radio station -- the headquarters of the 27th Regiment of the former Kuomintang Army -- to take action in advance. Three days later, the Special Battalion and the Third Battalion moved under the leadership of Yun Tian and Zeng Xiangyang. Several special companies also acted with the troops. The same with a radio station - the 33rd Regiment of the former Kuomintang troops - operated. Another day later, Li Jiansheng led the first and second battalions to operate. But there was no radio at this time, and it had to be reported by personnel. Fortunately, it is not far from the Chinese army troops in Yuntian, and the difficulty is not too great.

Before Li Jiansheng left, all the independent battalions in various places had been assembled. Li Jiansheng met with the military and political leaders of the various independent battalions, gave a detailed explanation, and then led his troops to leave.

By the time Li Jiansheng led his troops to Guangdong, the Yuntian Institute had already joined Zhao Boping's department, and based on the accurate situation, as well as his familiarity with Pingshi, and the cooperation of the local party organization, he took Pingshi at once with lightning speed. The city defense bureau and police station in Pingshi all fell into the hands of the Red Army. After Li Jiansheng led his troops to Pingshi, he immediately repaired it. After the extremely reactionary forces in Pingshi were put on trial, the building of local political power was immediately strengthened. Wan Zhiping, Luo Lie, Yin Hui and several other local leaders of the peasant movement and the leaders of the underground party organizations were brought in by Zhao Boping. Li Jiansheng warmly welcomed them, had dinner together and analyzed the surrounding situation together, and soon formed a unified opinion.

Early the next morning, all departments were assembled. Yuntian led the special battalion and the third battalion to attack Lechang with great fanfare. Li Jiansheng led his troops to secretly pull out. Five special companies followed Li Jiansheng's actions.

Sure enough, as Li Jiansheng had predicted, Yuntian's troops attacked with great fanfare, making the Lechang defenders extremely nervous. The two sides fought a large-scale battle in Lechang. But because it had been hinted at a long time ago, although Yuntian's troops fought fiercely, the casualties were not large. At the end of the day, the Cantonese army guarding Yunchang was evenly matched.

The Guangdong army, the impression on Li Jiansheng, is actually good. This is mainly because part of the original troops of the Nanchang Uprising came from this army!

In fact, as early as after the Protectorate War, it was always the Gui family that controlled the territory of Guangdong. With the support of Sun Yat-sen, Zhu Qinglan, the governor of Guangdong Province, allocated 20 battalions of his pro-army to be under the command of Chen Jiongming and moved to Shantou, becoming the prototype of the modern Guangdong army. Later, Chen Jiongming, Xu Chongzhi and others organized and trained troops on the Fujian-Guangdong border, and expelled Mo Rongxin, the Guangdong overseer of the Gui line, in the 1920 Gui War, and Sun Yat-sen was able to return to Guangzhou to rebuild the military government and continue the Northern Expedition.

However, Chen Jiongming, the "child soldier" who poured Sun Yat-sen's whole efforts, still could not get rid of the nature of a warlord, and rebelled in the Northern Expedition in 1922 and bombarded the presidential palace, after which the Guangdong army quickly divided and collapsed, divided into Chen Jiongming, Xu Chongzhi, Deng Keng, Li Fulin and other departments. After several battles and changes, the first division of the First Army of the Guangdong Army under Chen Jiongming's department with the strongest combat effectiveness was taken away by Deng Keng to support Sun Yat-sen. After Deng was assassinated, he was succeeded by Liang Hongkai, independent of Chen and Li. In 1925, the National Revolutionary Army, mainly Whampoa students, launched the Eastern Crusade, and Chen Jiongming, who was in Huizhou, was completely wiped out. Li Fulin's department was originally born in the green forest and had no combat effectiveness, but it was later organized into the Fifth Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and then it was later annexed by Chen Jitang.

After Liao Zhongkai's assassination, Xu Chongzhi was squeezed out by Chiang Kai-shek, and his troops were annexed by Chiang Kai-shek and organized into the 3rd, 14th, and 20th divisions of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which later evolved into the troops of the Kuomintang Central Army. Liang Hongkai was also forced away by Jiang, Li Jishen took over as the division commander, and during the Northern Expedition, it was expanded into the Fourth Army, with outstanding military achievements, and was known as the "Iron Army", also known as the "Mother of the Guangdong Army".

Li Jishen's Fourth Army consisted of Chen Mingshu's 10th Division, Chen Jitang's 11th Division, Zhang Fakui's 12th Division, Xu Jingtang's 13th Division, and Ye Ting's Independent Regiment. **The independent regiment led by him was closer to the 12th Division, and later launched an uprising in Nanchang; Xu Jingtang's department was weaker and was later annexed by Chen Jitang.

After the split of Ninghan and Han, the internal struggle of the Guangdong army moved from open and secret struggle to open rupture, and Zhang Fakui was the pillar force of the Wuhan government. Chen Mingshu supported Ning Fang, and his general Cai Tingkai was stationed in Jiangxi at the time and participated in the Nanchang Uprising, but later defected and took troops to Zhejiang to defect to his old boss Chen Mingshu. Chen Jitang, who stayed in Guangzhou, was the backbone of Hu Hanmin's Cantonese government, and successfully annexed Li Fulin, Xu Jingtang and other Cantonese armies, and his power continued to expand, controlling Guangdong and becoming the "Southern Heavenly King".

Li Jiansheng also knew something about the later development of these troops. Because later, Zhang Fakui failed to oppose Chiang, and the troops were handed over to Xue Yue, becoming a side line of the Kuomintang Central Army, or "Ban Chen Cheng Department", which was the main force pursuing the Red Army during the Long March, and inherited the traditional number of the Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War, and other armies such as the 94th Army and the 99th Army also had a lot to do with it.

Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai's troops stood on Chiang Kai-shek's side during the Central Plains War, sent troops to Changsha to cooperate with He Jian to block the northward advance of the Gui army, and sent troops to the Central Plains to fight against Feng's army. Later, he moved to Shanghai to participate in the famous Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai, and then transferred to Fujian, launched an incident to establish the "Republic of China", and after the defeat, the troops were reformed or disbanded by the central government. The main figures among them, including Chen Mingshu, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai, Dai Ji, Ou Shounian, Zhang Yan, etc., later most of them went to the New China camp.

Due to the departure of these Cantonese troops from Guangdong, from 1930 to 1936, Guangdong became Chen Jitang's territory, and on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Jitang implemented local secession of the central government under the guise of the "Liangguang Government Committee", and carefully managed the interior, with remarkable political achievements. The Guangdong Army was expanded to 3 armies with 13 divisions, as well as dozens of fighters, and the air force was even stronger than Chiang's Central Army.

The topographic map of Guangdong is in the shape of an isosceles triangle, with Shaoguan, Zhanjiang, and Shantou forming three strategic corners; Chen Jitang deployed Yu Hanmou's 1st Army in Shaoguan, Xianghanping's 2nd Army in western Guangdong, Li Yangjing's 3rd Army in Shantou, and Guangzhou with only one instructor, and the provincial capital was very empty of troops -- Chen Jitang's deployment was mainly to deal with Lao Chiang's invasion.

What Li Jiansheng is directly facing now is the 1st Army of Yu Hanmou of the Guangdong Army.
