Chapter 28 Initial Effects
"Haha, you three noses are long enough and have a very sensitive sense of smell, come and sit!" The three people who came in were Lin the commander of the 1st Battalion, Yuan Chongquan, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, and Xiao Jin, the commander of the 3rd Battalion. The voice came from the mouth of Xiao Jin, the commander of the 3rd Battalion. "Leader, the person you should invite the most to treat is me, Brother Hao was poached by you from me, and I found it first." Xiao Jin is 26 years old this year, a native of Shimen, Hunan, and graduated from the third phase of Huangpu. In fact, he did not participate in the Nanchang Uprising. When he and Chen Yi arrived in Nanchang, the rebel troops had already withdrawn, and the two did not dare to stay in Nanchang City for a long time and immediately chased after the troops.
Hearing that the rebel troops went south to Guangdong, the two chased them all the way and after several twists and turns, they finally caught up with the rebel troops in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi, and participated in the battle of Sanheba, and then followed Zhu De to participate in the Jinggangshan Division. Therefore, it is incorrect that Xiao Jin participated in the Nanchang Uprising. In addition, Xiao Jin should have died heroically in the battle of Longyuankou. However, Hao Lei's father and son participated in the battle, and the battle losses of the 28th regiment dropped greatly, and the butterfly effect was first fulfilled in Xiao Jin, who was unscathed. The regiment commander Wang Erzhuo did not escape the catastrophe, and one month later he was shot and died in the pursuit of traitors.
And this traitor is Yuan Chongquan, the commander of the 2nd Battalion who is here. The hard life of the Red Army made Yuan Chongquan lose his faith, and then led his troops to defect to the Jiangxi army. After the matter was revealed, Wang Erzhuo, in view of the fact that he and Yuan Chongquan were fellow villagers and classmates in the first phase of Huangpu, tried to persuade Yuan Chongquan to change his mind, but Wang Erzhuo died under the guns of his former brothers, fellow villagers, and comrades-in-arms. A month later, the Red Fourth Army conquered the county seat of Suizhou, captured the traitor alive, and all the officers and men of the 28th Regiment publicly tried and executed the scum. This hasn't happened yet.
Lin said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you should be most grateful to Brother Hao, if it wasn't for Brother Hao who killed the enemy machine gunner, you would have gone to report to Marx a long time ago!" "Lian Commander Hao, I'll borrow a cup from the Flower Immortal Buddha to you." The Lin who interjected was small, even though he was ridiculous, he was serious, and his eyes were deep and seemed to be always thinking about problems. Lin was the most outstanding among the three battalion commanders because of his own performance, and his military command talent was far above that of the other two battalion commanders. Lin is the 4th phase of Whampoa, and some people say that Lin is hand-drawn by Run, which is not true. Upon closer study, this was not the case during the Jinggangshan period.
After the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, when the rebel army was reorganized in Tianxinyu, Lin, Nie Heting, Yang Zhicheng and others were all company commanders, and Su Yu was the party representative at that time. They belong to the same level, and they go up Jinggang Mountain together, on a starting line. Lin and Zhu De and Chen Yi didn't know each other before, and there was no "nepotism", but because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to battalion commander by Zhu De and Chen Yi before going to Jinggangshan, and Runzhi didn't know Lin at that time. Lin served as the head of the 28th Regiment and was the squad that picked up Zhu De. At that time, Zhu De and Runzhi's troops often fought separately, and Runzhi's influence on Zhu De's troops was limited.
After Wang Erzhuo's death, Zhu De temporarily served as the commander of the 28th Regiment, and Lin was promoted from the battalion commander to the chief of staff of the 28th Regiment as a transition, and officially became the commander of the 28th Regiment a month later. Lin took over Zhu De's class, and Zhu De's opinion played a decisive role in who should be the head of the 28th regiment. As an outstanding young general, Lin was promoted two levels in a year, from company commander to regiment commander, and was the commander of the main regiment of the Red Fourth Army, which was unusual. At that time, the Red Fourth Army suffered repeated setbacks under the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression, and the troops had to be downsized. The main force of the Red Fourth Army was reduced from the first three divisions to three regiments, and many officers were not promoted, and some were demoted.
At the same time, those who were higher than Lin's official positions were: Zhang Ziqing, Hu Shaohai, He Tingying, Zhu Yunqing, Gong Chu, etc. Battalion-level officers are more qualified than Lin, such as: Li Qizhong (Huangpu Phase I), Zhou Zikun (Huang Phase II) was originally Lin's superior. Hu Shaohai was demoted two levels in a row from division commander to battalion commander, and they all became Lin's subordinates. The reason why Lin stood out was that he had excellent performance and high skills, and at the same time was promoted and favored by Zhu De and Chen Yi. And Runzhi determined the dominance of the Red Fourth Army after the Gutian Conference, at this time Lin was already the commander of the 1st Column, and he had already established his important position in the Red Fourth Army.
Getting back to the point, Wang Erzhuo said happily: "Let me tell you a secret, Hao Lei and his son are Li Zheng's (Ouyang Jian)'s subordinates!" Several people looked surprised when they heard this. Commander, where is the secret detachment now? Yuan Chongquan asked. The secret detachment is in the hands of the military department, and you have no right to know. "I can only tell you that "Li Zheng" is a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, nothing more. "Seeing that the head of the regiment is tight-lipped, this involves confidentiality work, and everyone is not good to ask again. Wang Erzhuo had already instructed Hao Lei and his son, so it was inconvenient for the two to say anything.
Hao Lei has been dizzy when he was touted, and his enthusiasm was difficult to resist, and everyone in front of him was the boss, who raised a glass and drank, and the atmosphere was very warm. Lin seemed to have caught something, and began to secretly ask Hao Yi. "Brother, how does Li train your ······?" Hao Yi was a little reserved. After listening to Hao's intermittent narration, Lin was very shocked in his heart. It not only comprehends the unexpected role of sniping in wartime, but also has a significant impact on "Li Zheng | The change in the training methods of the troops was also greatly shocked, and the unusualness was quickly caught in it. The next day, he specially asked Hao Lei and his son to learn more about the situation, and wrote down the key points of the father and son's narration in a notebook.
This is the characteristic of Lin, what others can't see, he can quickly smell. When he became the head of the 28th Regiment two months later, he knew Ouyang Jianqi. Then he began to adopt Ouyang Jian's training methods in the 28th Regiment, and at the same time, he paid more attention to the importance of Hao Lei's father and son, and changed the regimental guard company into a special combat team. Needless to say, the butterfly effect inadvertently began to ripple on Lin's body. In fact, Ouyang Jian sent Hao Lei and his son to follow Tan Song to Jinggang Mountain, which was done intentionally. He thought of the ability of Hao Lei's father and son, and he definitely couldn't come back. In view of the performance of Hao Lei's father and son, it is very likely that he will enter the main force of the Red Fourth Army. He wanted to use Hao Lei's father and son to change Wang Erzhuo's fate, and then influence Lin. The purpose was to make Lin interested in his military training and tactics, and to establish silent communication with each other.
Maybe luck let Xiao Jin get it first and change his fate. But it is a pity that it did not change the fate of Wang Erzhuo, and he still died under the guns of traitors. More than two months have passed, and the changes that have occurred in the middle have changed beyond recognition, Lin was promoted to the commander of the 28th Regiment at the age of 23, and Hao Lei led the regimental headquarters guard company to also undergo the test in the war. Due to Hao Lei's father and son, more than a dozen excellent shooters emerged in its guard company. A sniper is not comparable to a good shooter. The so-called good scorer is just on the 100-meter line. The key is that the battle losses of the Red 28th Regiment have always been maintained at a reasonable level under the condition that all units of the Red Fourth Army have suffered a large number of battle losses. In addition, the attack power of the 28th regiment has been increased.
A few days after Lin took office as the head of the 28th Regiment, he learned the real situation of the secret detachment from the military headquarters. As the senior of the fourth phase of Huangpu, Ouyang Jian, he had heard that Ouyang Jian's military quality in the first phase of Huangpu was excellent, and he was highly praised by Soviet instructors, nothing more. For this mysterious senior, Lin accepted it in his heart. If you consider it purely from the military field, Lin believes that Ouyang Jian's vision is very unique. On this day, Lin personally invited Hao Lei to dinner. During the banquet, Lin just stuck the wine glass to his lips to show respect, but in fact, he was drinking with Hao Lei. Seeing Hao Lei's face flushed, he asked, "Brother Hao, I want to know your marksmanship at 200 meters, how is Ouyang Jian's archery skills?" ”
"Commander, now I don't shy away from it in front of you, Chief Ouyang has no missing bullets around 300, that is the real magic gun! I can only do it with a telescope at 300 meters, and Chief Ouyang can do it with a telescope at 500 meters! Lin Wenwen gasped 500 meters? What is the concept of 500 meters, Lin knows very well in his heart. "You mean using a telescope?" "It's a monocular used by Westerners, which can be mounted on a rifle and can see clearly." "Brother Hao, don't worry, this kind of telescope is not difficult to find, and I will meet your requirements."
"But the telescope needs to be readjusted, but unfortunately I can't. It's a pity that my sniper rifle was left in Yunshui County! Hao Lei said quietly. Yunshui County, you mean that the secret detachment is in Yunshui County? Hao Lei immediately woke up half of the wine when he heard this. Commander, I've broken discipline! "Brother Hao, don't worry, I will keep it a secret!" After Lin finished speaking, his eyes were aimed at the military map, speculating why the military department had been hiding a secret detachment in Yunshui County, but Lin quickly denied that it was the military department. At the same time, it was also judged that after Ouyang Jian retreated in Nanchang, he did not chase the southbound troops due to his wounds, but withdrew to Luoxiao Mountain to continue the struggle. That's Lin's acumen.
Lin began to think quietly, it was his habit. According to the description of Hao Lei's father and son, Lin secretly admired Ouyang Jian, just imagine what kind of perseverance is needed to lose contact with his superiors and lead more than a dozen subordinates to base themselves in Yunshui County, Lin feels that he can't do it. Seeing that Hao Lei was asleep, Lin continued to figure out what role this secret detachment in Yunshui County would play in the future, but Lin didn't see it. However, the role of sniping in actual combat began to appear, and Lin tasted the sweetness. In addition, advanced training methods have won his approval.
Lin is not a showy person, but he has a keen eye for the military. After much thought, Lin instructed the guards to call the chief of staff and the political commissar, and he should vigorously train excellent marksmen and improve training methods in the troops, and submit a report to the military department.
Later, after continuous operations, the troops could not train systematically, and this report ran aground in the military headquarters. However, Lin vigorously cultivated excellent shooters in the department and played a pivotal role, which will not be mentioned later. Due to the heavy encirclement and suppression of the enemy, the Red Fourth Army was often broken into pieces, and the harsh situation made Lin gradually forget about the secret detachment. On the night of the day Lin invited Hao Lei to drink, Lin received an order and led his troops to set off. When Lin was shocked to hear that the secret detachment had been born in the north, he was already the commander of the Red First Division.
Due to the supply difficulties in the Jinggangshan area, it could not meet the needs of the troops. In addition, there was also the interference of human factors, and the main forces had to be pulled to the outside line to fight. In the Jinggangshan area, except for a small number of troops who persisted in guerrilla warfare, a large number of troops were engaged in fighting on the outside line. In line with the principle that the enemy advances and we retreat, the Red Fourth Army began to develop in the direction of southeastern Jiangxi and Fujian in light of the enemy's situation. As the situation deteriorated, the combat attrition of the Red Fourth Army continued to increase and decrease, and the troops were gradually downsizing.
Because Chiang Kai-shek united with Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang to deal with Zhang Zuolin with all his might, the Red Fourth Army, which was in a difficult period, was more or less respite. Chiang Kai-shek defeated Zhang Zuolin and forced the Northeast Army to retreat to the three eastern provinces. The situation was for the clique headed by Chiang Kai-shek, whose dominance began to solidify. Originally, the victory of the Northern Expedition was gratifying, but the distribution of interests, contradictions between them began to erupt. Chiang Kai-shek believed that his military strength was strong, but he still did not take the Red Army seriously, and in his heart the Red Army could not afford to make much waves. The Northwest Army, the Jin Army, including Li Zongren, are still his heart disease.
The Northern Expedition was victorious, and the sphere of influence should be redivided, and since the Northwest Army made the greatest contribution in the Second Northern Expedition, the benefits obtained should really be the most. However, the benefits gained in the distribution of vested interests are greatly reduced. Especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the benefits allowed Yan Xishan to take the lion's share, which means that Yan Xishan's efforts were not great, but the benefits were not high, which in turn caused the conflict between Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan to escalate. Originally, there was a feud between the Northwest Army and the Jin Army, and it was difficult to reconcile between them. However, Chiang Kai-shek was in a hurry and tried to use the contradiction between the two to weaken the strength of his opponent on a large scale, and then mutated the flashpoint of the contradiction.
Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to take advantage of the contradiction between Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan to take advantage of the opportunity to weaken his military strength. Large-scale disarmament and gimmicks on the establishment of armies with the intention of continuing to strengthen centralization. Chiang Kai-shek was a master of control, however, he did not expect that the army was the capital on which the warlords depended for their survival, and that any time power came out of the barrel of a gun, it was an iron rule, and not only the communists understood this truth, but the warlords were well aware of it. The large-scale disarmament and the disguised increase in the power of the Central Army undoubtedly moved the cheese of Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang.
Not only Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan were dissatisfied with the disarmament and retaining the current establishment, but also the Guangxi warlords Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were extremely dissatisfied. This laid the groundwork for the later joint generals, Feng Yuxiang, and Yan Xishan to join forces again and then break out in the Central Plains War. Not to mention how Chiang Kai-shek's punches and kicks were broken down individually, the contradictions and fierce battles within the Kuomintang provided great opportunities for the Red Army, which was in a very passive position, and also created conditions for the Red Fourth Army to win successive military victories in Fujian.
In fact, what Ouyang Jian didn't know was that in view of the fact that the Yunshui Security Regiment exterminated the old fox in one fell swoop in De'an County, the Nanjing Military Commission had already included the Yunshui Security Regiment in the reorganization plan. However, with the retreat of the Northeast Army into the Northeast and the subsequent large-scale disarmament, this reorganization plan had to be temporarily shelved. Just imagine that Zhu Peide's Jiangxi army will be downsized on a large scale, so the Yunshui County Security Corps can only be ignored, and the Nanjing Military Commission has no reason to reorganize the Yunshui County Security Corps. Maybe this was the providence of heaven, allowing Ouyang Jian to escape.
