In fact, Li Jiansheng didn't like the recruits or veteran soldiers of the Red Eighth Army very much, you know, they were the troops of the former Central Guard Division. However, he, who was accustomed to dealing with captive soldiers, simply didn't believe it: we have even transformed the captive soldiers, can't these old soldiers be transformed? This is also the reason why he divided the remnants of the Red Eighth Army into three regiments, obviously to let those veterans take these new recruits and veteran soldiers. As for the 48th Regiment, it was simply led by the backbone of the Red 5th Division in person, and this idea was also hit. And the final result really satisfied Li Jiansheng!

Of course, what he didn't expect was. These veteran soldiers of the Red Eighth Army were later polished by Li Jiansheng and transformed in batches, and they really became veritable real strong soldiers. Later, when he returned to the Red Army, he remembered Li Jiansheng's benefits. As a result, such a strange group of soldiers appeared in the later Red Army sequence: people are heroes who don't mention the courage of the year, and heroes don't mention the shame of the year; But this group of soldiers is different, they like to mention the shame of the year, after talking about the shame when they crossed the Xiangjiang River, the conversation changed, but they also talked about the influence of Comrade Li Jiansheng, and since then their thinking and actions have undergone great changes, and finally they have become a real soldier. Later historians also believe that Marshal Li Jiansheng's training by the Xiangjiang River has, in a sense, played a fundamental role in the qualitative change of the Red Eighth Army. It was also since then that the Red Eighth Army, which was once very unfavorable by people, finally gave birth to a group of real soldiers. Of course, this is all for later, so I won't say much about it for the time being.

said that Li Jiansheng spent a lot of effort on the boss, and finally arranged the affairs of the International Division of the Young Communist Party and the Red Eighth Army, so he was relieved. Looking at the brand-new unit in front of him that was gradually regaining its combat effectiveness, Li Jiansheng sighed with emotion: Is this still the group of deserters? Not anymore! Come to think of it, after being educated by blood, they will grow faster and eventually become a strong army!

Seeing that this aspect was finally dealt with, Li Jiansheng came to deal with the last and most special group of stragglers: more than 110 old Red Army soldiers in their 30s. These people were in rags, but they were all very skilled. If you look at them alone, they are strong-willed people. Li Jiansheng secretly thought in his heart that these might be the former Red Army cadres who were persecuted by the wrong line, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, and he had the intention to bring all these people to his troops for protection, and immediately came to them and said calmly: Welcome everyone to join the Red Third Front Army!

Seeing that everyone's attitude was very calm, but there was joy in their eyes, Li Jiansheng knew that he had guessed correctly. At the moment, his demeanor was straight, and he said loudly: "Comrades, I now announce that you have been incorporated into the Red Eighteenth Army of our Red Third Front Army, and I invite cadres at and above the company level and comrades who have served as cadres at or above the battalion level to please come out of the ranks." ”

To Li Jiansheng's great surprise, his words fell, and all of these 117 old Red Army soldiers took a step forward!

Yes!

This time, Li Jiansheng was so surprised that he almost screamed!

Because, he couldn't have imagined that these people were all cadres above the company level!

Li Jiansheng calmed down and shouted: "Sign up!" ”

"Wang Hui, the former deputy commander of the Red First Army, reported in detail"

"Deng Chengming, the former deputy commander of the Red First Army, reported to duty"

"Li Guoping, the former deputy commander of the Red Third Army Corps, reports to duty"

"Li Qing, the former political commissar of the 1st Red Army, reported to duty"

"Chu Gaoping, the former head of the Red Third Army Corps, reports"

"Zhang Xiangtao, the former deputy head of the Red Third Army, reported for duty"

"Mu Kou, the former deputy chief of staff of the Red Ninth Army, reports for duty"

"Chen Mingshan, the former battalion commander of the Red Fifth Army, reports"

"Chen Dayong, the former deputy battalion commander of the Red Ninth Army, reports for duty"

"Gong Houming, former deputy chief of staff of the 1st Red Army, reported to duty"

"Hong Xueyuan, the former company commander of the Red Fifth Army, reports for duty"

"Zhao Boshan, the former political commissar of the Red Ninth Army Division, reports for duty"

"Liu Hu, the former deputy head of the Red Third Army, reported for duty"

"Huang Chunde, the former deputy head of the Red Fifth Army, reported to duty"

"Chen Zhengsheng, the former commander of the Red First Army, reported for duty"

"Wang Keyi, the former battalion commander of the Red Ninth Army, reported to duty"

……

After all the 117 people reported for duty, Li Jiansheng gasped. Because among this group of characters, there are 5 cadres at the division level, including a division commander, two division political commissars, a division chief of staff, and a division political department director; 13 cadres at the deputy division level; 35 cadres at the regimental level; 19 deputy regimental cadres; 37 battalion-level cadres; 8 company-level cadres. You must know that these are all outstanding commanders of the Red Army who have been tempered into steel, including commanders at the division and regiment levels, as well as backbone cadres at the grassroots level at the battalion and company levels. Any one of them in the middle can pull up a battalion. Why are their names not in the history of the military in later generations? Come to think of it, according to the original history, they all died on the side of the Xiangjiang River, and like the other Red Army martyrs who fell in the Xiangjiang River, they didn't even leave their names, leaving only a wisp of heroic souls, guarding the waves of the Xiangjiang River that shed endless heroic blood year after year.

sighed, and remembered that these people were now his comrades-in-arms, Li Jiansheng couldn't help but feel ecstasy, and shouted in his heart that he had found a treasure. I have tried my best to save more than 1,600 cadres from the suppression of the rebellion in the Central Soviet Region, and this time I have saved more than 100 of them, and it seems that the backbone of my troops can be further enriched! Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng said again: You should immediately go to the pile of confiscated weapons, find a weapon for each person, prepare enough guns and ammunition, and then prepare dry food and drinking water for more than three days for each person, and come here to gather in a quarter of an hour.

These backbones immediately dispersed. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were all assembled again. Everyone had a gun, a water bottle and food on their backs. It can be seen that they were all captured from the corpses of the enemy. Looking at their current demeanor, Li Jiansheng nodded, and said: Your task now is to immediately seize the time to rest. After the pontoon bridge was erected, I crossed the river with my guard regiment. After crossing the river, I will confirm your mission. Got a question?

Everyone shouted in unison: No problem!

Li Jiansheng nodded again, and asked these veterans to rest by themselves and come to the Xiangjiang River alone. Because it suddenly occurred to him that, according to the time calculation, the large army would arrive at the riverside later this afternoon. However, it is clear that it is very dangerous to continue to stay on the east bank of the Xiang River, and we must think of crossing the river in its entirety tonight. I just don't know, how is the pontoon bridge on the river erected?

While thinking and moving forward, Li Jiansheng once again went to the edge of the river, watching the river flowing turbulently, and his mind was stunned all of a sudden. You must know that Li Jiansheng, who specialized in the study of the Xiangjiang Campaign, knew from the research of later generations that the Fenghuangzui Ferry section of the Xiangjiang River could be waded in vain at this time. In fact, during the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, the water depth of the Jieshou Ferry could not be waded in vain, while the Fenghuangzui Ferry could be waded in vain due to the wide water surface. It is a pity that the Red Army did not know at that time, and under the bombardment of enemy aircraft, it was impossible to measure. I just wonder if it's the truth right now? Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng didn't speak, and as soon as he took off his shoes, he went into the water.
