The Recruit Company's grievance meeting was undoubtedly a success.

As soon as he woke up the next day, Liu Yimin found that Cai Zhong had made two stones, put a stone slab on them, and climbed on them to write. Liu Yimin walked over and saw that Cai Zhong wrote a report on grievances and three investigations.

Seeing Liu Yimin looking, Cai Zhong raised his head and said, "Are you awake?" I would like to summarize the grievance complaint activities and the three investigation activities that we have carried out and report them to the General Political Department of the Red Army. ”

Liu Yimin looked at Cai Zhong, who was only 30 years old, and the wrinkles on his brows were already very deep, and the wrinkles on his brows became more and more prominent.

Liu Yimin knew that Cai Zhong was an old Jinggang, who turned out to be the political commissar of the 102nd Regiment of the 34th Division, and was transferred to the director of the Political Department of the 34th Division before the Long March. According to the original history, Cai Zhong was sacrificed at gunpoint attacked by the 44th Division of the Gui Army as soon as the 34th Division broke out of Guanyin Mountain in Xinwei. The appearance of Liu Yimin has also changed Cai Zhong's fate. Especially since the formation of the 18th Regiment with Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong's performance has made Liu Yimin very respectful: loyalty, fortitude, strong principle, and flexibility, which embodies the characteristics of political cadres in the Red Army period.

Hearing Cai Zhong's words, Liu Yimin said: "Now that you are on the way to transfer, I'm afraid you have to find time to write slowly." However, it should be summed up that if we can use this method to transform prisoners, we can continue to grow the Red Army even in the most brutal battles. ”

Cai Zhong said: "I don't know if you have noticed, at the grievance meeting last night, the new soldiers who originally belonged to the Hunan army spoke a lot. Especially after the arrest of a few officers who drank the blood of soldiers, their mood was particularly high and their transformation was particularly fast. And the new soldiers who originally belonged to the Gui army spoke relatively little. ”

Liu Yimin said: "I noticed it last night. Gui Jun is different from Xiang Jun, so he is not in a hurry, let them continue to complain today. You report to the head of the legion and deal with those scum officers. ”

Cai Zhong said: "Okay. ”

Then he said, "Otherwise, I'll go with the recruit company." ”

Liu Yimin said: "No, I believe that the problem can be solved today." Let's get ready to go. ”

Jokes, grievances, and three inspections are the main contents of the PLA's new-style army reorganization in history, and through complaints and three investigations, our army's combat effectiveness has increased exponentially. In the Huaihai Campaign, our army suffered too many casualties, and adopted the policy of replacing the prisoners as soon as they were captured, maintaining a strong attack force, and the secret of transforming the prisoners was the Grievance Campaign. Liu Yimin came from later generations, so he naturally knew the power of the grievance movement and the three investigation movement, but he couldn't say it to Cai Zhongming.

However, in fact, the prisoners of the Gui army are indeed more difficult to convert, which is different from the prisoners of the Hunan army.

At that time, the soldiers of all kinds of warlords were all pulled by Lazhuang Ding, most of them were from poor families, and most of them had no ideals and sense of justice. Originally, as soon as the Red Army political workers did their work, they could turn their guns to beat the white bandits, but even if they were not allowed to turn their guns, they could also psychologically divide and disintegrate the prisoners, so the discipline of the Red Army strictly prohibited beating, scolding, and mistreating the prisoners.

He Jian, the leader of the Hunan army, was a standard opportunistic warlord, with no ambitions, but his hands were covered with blood, and even in the original history, Chiang Kai-shek never treated He Jian and Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang and other bigwigs equally. The style and discipline of the Hunan army can be imagined.

Gui Jun was different, and it should be said to be an alternative among the warlord forces at that time. Because the main officers of the Xingui department were all graduates of military academies, they also started with the ideal of overthrowing the warlords by revolutionary means, and they also had the ambition to win the world, and after the reunification of Guangxi, they did not adopt a major policy of sabotage. In addition, after many years of fighting with Chiang Kai-shek, he had suffered the loss of being bribed and defeated by Chiang Kai-shek because the cohesion of the troops was not strong, so he often regarded himself as a revolutionary army, and paid great attention to the ideology and style of the troops and the construction of the officer corps and the reserve military service corps, thus forming a tenacious style of work in which the Gui army could fight, fight, and endure hardships. Therefore, it is to be expected that the Gui army captives will be difficult to reform.

Thanks to Liu Yimin, a Ph.D. student from later generations, a heart-to-heart talk activity narrowed the psychological distance between the Red Army soldiers and the captured recruits, and a grievance activity allowed these Gui army prisoners to settle their accounts: It turned out that the misfortune of himself and his family was caused by this irrational social system and the beneficiaries of this system, the ruling class and the exploiting class.

The breakthrough came from a new fighter named Lee Dehyun.

Li Dexian turned out to be a platoon commander in the Gui Army. The home is on the edge of Guilin, Guangxi. His father had five brothers, a large family living together, renting 100 acres of paddy fields from the landlord. Every morning, the grandmother led his mother and aunts to cook, feed the pigs, and start the day's work. My father and uncles soaked in the paddy fields all year round. The annual harvest is also good, and a lot of rice has to be beaten down, but the landlord's rent is paid, and the rest of the family is rations, and then they begin to pay all kinds of miscellaneous donations, and the miscellaneous ones are handed over, and the family can only eat some white rice during the busy farming and the New Year, and most of the time they have to rely on miscellaneous grains and wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

In desperation, my father and uncles discussed that they must cultivate a scholar, and they could no longer let the children be blind and let the old rich bully. In this way, the family exchanged the rations saved from their mouths for money for Li Dexian's education, hoping that he could change the fate of the whole family.

Li Dexian joined the Gui Army after finishing his studies, and because of his education, he was quickly sent to the teaching team for training, and became a platoon commander when he came back. I thought that I would soon be able to soar with my talents, but I didn't expect to be captured by the Red Army after a battle.

Through complaining, the Red Army soldiers helped Li Dexian calculate an account, and every year his family paid 60 stone for land rent and various taxes, which was 1,200 stone in 20 years, and 1,200 stone was 600,000 catties. It turned out that his whole family worked as a coolie for landlords and warlords. I studied and became a soldier, with the aim of changing the fate of my family and the poor, who knew that it was my brother who picked up the gun and shot the Red Army. Even if he is not captured this time, even if he can make himself a bigger official, in the end it is still the landlords and warlords who defend the people, and the poor people are still dealt with, and there is no difference in essence from the landlord's nursing home. Therefore, it is the right choice only to become the Red Army, to completely overthrow the exploiting classes, and to establish a new society in which everyone is equal, everyone has land and work, and everyone has work.

Li Dexian's transformation led to the lower-level officers of the Gui Army among the prisoners, and the 30 people transferred from the Red 5th Division were all Guangxi soldiers from the original Red Seventh Army, who were the elite of the Red Army, and it was easy to communicate with the Gui Army prisoners. Therefore, the whole training work of the recruit camp went much smoother all of a sudden, and the three of Le, Li Qing, Hong Chao, and Chen Dazhong, laughed with big mouths.

Since then, the prisoner conversion work of the recruit company has been effective.

After receiving the report from the recruit company, Liu Yimin began to reorganize the troops.

The combat effectiveness of the first, second, and third battalions has recovered relatively well. One of the battalions is in the best situation, especially the company formed by the former top soldier company, since meeting Liu Yimin, the continuous victories have stimulated the troops' roars, sophisticated equipment, elite soldiers, and high morale, if Liu Yimin wants to build the Red 18th Regiment into a sharp arrow of the Central Red Army, the first company is the arrow of this sharp arrow, ready to pounce on the enemy at any time, and kill with one blow. In particular, Liu Yimin deliberately taught the company the tactical essentials of infantry squads, platoons, and companies in teams of three, alternate cover, and coordination with the attack, as well as the tactical ideas of concentrating firepower to the maximum, deceiving the enemy, luring the enemy, confusing the enemy, and failing to attack the enemy, so that these elite soldiers in a hundred battles have made a qualitative leap in their tactical level and tactical thinking. Led by the first company, the other two companies of the first battalion were trained according to the training methods of the first company. When the cadres of the second and third battalions saw it, they also followed the same example. In just a few days, the three backbone battalions of the 18 regiment have regained their combat effectiveness.

Liu Yimin felt that it was time, and after discussing with Cai Zhong, Liu Jianjian, and Chen Dazhong, he organized the recruit battalion into the fourth battalion, with Hong Chao and Chen Dazhong serving as battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders respectively, and Li Qing still serving as battalion instructors. Under the jurisdiction of the 10th, 11th, 12th companies, the former recruit battalion first company commander Peng Hu served as the commander of the 10th company, Cheng Guangrong served as the instructor of the 10th company, the former commander of the second company of the recruit battalion, the commander of the 11th company of the Southern Red Army served as the commander of the 11th company, Shi Tugen served as the instructor of the 11th company, the former commander of the third company of the recruit battalion Yang Yan served as the commander of the 12th company, and Ding Jiesheng served as the instructor of the 12th company. The soldiers were dispersed and the old Red Army and the new fighters were assembled, the four combat battalions were all enriched to 480 people, the regimental headquarters guard squad and the communications squad were rebuilt, the sniper platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, and the fire support platoon were all increased, the embarrassing situation of only three people in the cooking squad was ended, and the regimental headquarters and each battalion set up a cooking squad. Lei Ming, who was transferred from the 5th Division, served as the battalion commander, Chang Huayu served as the instructor, Hou Sanxi, the former commander of the fourth company of the recruits, was reappointed as the commander of the first company of the recruits, Yu Qingshan was reappointed as the instructor of the first company of the recruits, Sang Yida, the former commander of the fifth company of the recruits, was reappointed as the commander of the second company of the recruits, Chen Xi was reappointed as the instructor of the second company of the recruits, Cheng Baocheng, the commander of the sixth company of the former recruits, was reappointed as the commander of the third company of the recruits, and Guo Decheng was reappointed as the instructor of the third company of the recruits.

The four combat battalions, one recruit battalion, one fire support platoon, one reconnaissance platoon, one sniper platoon, one guard squad, one communications squad, and one field ambulance station of the whole regiment are the temporary field ambulance stations of the Red 5th Division rescued by Liu Yimin in Xialiwan Village under Guanyin Mountain in Xinwei, with two doctors and three nurses, but unfortunately all the medicines have run out. With a total strength of 2,160 men, it was the largest regiment in the Central Red Army.

It is a pity that in addition to only 6 heavy machine guns and a clear lack of heavy firepower, there are also insufficient light weapons. The first, second, and third battalions were replenished from the captured Gui Army weapons according to the standards of the first company when they were reorganized along the Xiangjiang River, but at that time, nearly 1,000 people in the new battalion were prisoners, and they were empty-handed, and the captured weapons were handed over to the Red 34th Division, and the regiment reorganized by the 8th Army Corps basically took away all the weapons eliminated by the 18th Regiment and the 34th Division when it was reorganized.

The four battalion commanders all came to ask Liu Yimin what to do if he didn't have a gun. Liu Yimin said what are you worried about, this little will stump a few big battalion commanders? The weapons of the Central Army are good, there are many cannons, machine guns, Type 79, submachine guns, and grenades, so we can go and get them at any time. The battalion commanders who said it were eager to try and asked when they were going to pick it up. Liu Yimin said that we don't need to find time, people will chase after us with guns and cannons, and we can wait for them if we stand still.
