Chapter XVII East Coast Reorganization

"Regiment commander, you said that this time we not only completed the task, but also captured so many shells and weapons, if the regiment commander knew, he would definitely be happy" Chen Guangrong, who was already the commander of the fire battalion, looked at the shells on the camels on the horses and the shells on the prisoners, and said with a smile in front of Liu Hua.

"You said that you, you are all the battalion commanders, you have the same hippie smile as before, what do you look like, and then I will remove you" Liu Hua looked at him happily and said fiercely.

"Don't, don't! Leader, I've only been in office for two days" Looking at Chen Guangrong's appearance, Liu Hua couldn't help but smile. Ignoring him, he climbed a small hill by the side of the road.

Raising the binoculars and seeing the fiery red by the river, it seems that Mr. Peng is still there, Liu Hua thought secretly. looked at the back of the team again and found that it was pitch black, Liu Hua smiled and said to Bruce Lee, the leader of the guard platoon who came with him.

"It seems that Wang Zanbin was scared by us, and he didn't dare to send troops to chase him anymore, hehe"

"Immediately order the troops, collect torches, speed up the march, and be sure to rush to the riverside before dawn," Bruce Lee replied.

Soon, an hour passed, and Liu Xiaogang, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon who had been opening the way for the troops, ran to Liu Hua's side.

"Report to the head of the regiment, I heard gunfire on the riverside in front, I didn't dare to startle the snakes, listening to the density of gunshots, there should be many people fighting."

After listening to Liu Xiaogang's report, Liu Hua did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly ordered

"Go and scout the situation immediately, find out the situation and report back to me."

Looking at the figure in the distance, Liu Hua fell into deep thought, you must know that in history, the pontoon bridge was blown up during the day today, and the battle by the river was the final battle between the international division and the enemy left on the east bank. Thinking of this, Liu Hua was frustrated.

Looking at the wounded people walking in front of him, those were all soldiers of the 34th Division, seeing that they had gone through a tragic battle, although they suffered heavy casualties, they were still walking forward with high morale, looking at these energetic soldiers, Liu Hua seemed to be moved.

What is there to be afraid of, how can Lao Tzu say it now, there are thousands of people, and they didn't dare to reorganize the troops just now, but now they have lost contact with the central government, and once those troops are reorganized, plus so many weapons captured, they must be an elite again. There are so many people, and they are still afraid that they will not be able to fight a piece of their own world, so it is a big deal to return to Jinggangshan to fight guerrillas in the end. Thinking of this, Liu Hua raised his head and walked forward.

"Regiment commander, regiment commander, we have figured it out, we have caught a tongue, he said that they are from the 112th Regiment of the Central Army, and they are attacking the remaining hundreds of people of the International Division, and the International Division is almost unable to hold on. Behind the International Division there were several hundred scattered Red Army, many of them from the Eighth Army Corps. But, but" Liu Xiaogang lowered his head in frustration and did not continue.

It seems that his vision has come true, Liu Hua patted Xiao Gang's shoulder and said.

"Did the pontoon bridge blow up?" Liu Hua asked coldly.

Liu Xiaogang nodded. Looking at Xiao Gang with a depressed face, Liu Hua knew that he had to cheer up and set an example for the soldiers.

"Xiaogang, do you believe me?"

Liu Xiaogang nodded, still without a trace of expression.

"Since you believe me, then you cheer me up, isn't it just that the pontoon bridge was bombed? It's a big deal that let's fight back to the base area, there are so many of us, and there is so much ammunition, what is there to be afraid of, believe me, I will definitely lead everyone out. Liu Hua said seriously.

"Commander, I believe in you, it's a big deal for us to go back to Jinggangshan to fight guerrillas." Xiao Gang raised his head, not depressed, and said steadily.

Seeing Liu Xiaogang quickly recover from depression, Liu Hua was very happy.

"Okay, go and call a few battalion commanders, and we'll have a short meeting."

You all know about it, now that we're stuck on the East Coast, let's talk about what to do. Liu Hua looked at the silent crowd and broke the silence and said.

"Commander, say it! We all listen to you,"

"Listen to you, regiment commander, just say it", Chen Guangrong echoed after listening to Chen Revolution's words.

"Okay, I think we should save all the troops on the east bank, the more people the better, then we will have enough troops to break out of the encirclement, and then fight back to the base area, plan to break through the central siege, and then find a way to find a radio station and get in touch with the central government. Let the central government indicate our next move. After speaking, he looked at the silent crowd.

"I agree," Lao Sun was the first to say

"Agree" "Agree"

Soon, several people in the meeting agreed.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, I order. Lao Sun took the 123rd Battalion to rescue the trapped International Division, remember, we must completely annihilate the enemy, and we must not let them ventilate the news, Chen Guangrong led the artillery to collect all the scattered Red Army, and it will be reorganized for a while. The reconnaissance platoon was all dispersed, the wounded horses were mounted, and when they found the enemy's situation, they immediately reported it, and all the prisoners were to be guarded by the 34th Division, and the 34th Division took the opportunity to rest and recuperate, and after a while, it could go to the battlefield after being reorganized. The guard platoon followed my actions and carried out immediately. ”

"Yes," shouted in unison.

The battle for the rescue of the International Division soon began, and it ended quickly, and the fight was thorough. After the three battalions surrounded the 112th Regiment, all the fire was opened at once, and in an instant, half of the 112th Regiment fell. Three battalions pounced at once, and soon the regiment collapsed. The remaining more than 100 people all surrendered.

As the battlefield slowly quieted down. After being contained by the guard platoon, nearly a thousand ragged Red Army soldiers stood in front of Liu Hua. Obviously, there were three groups of people in the Red Army standing in front of them: the face full of gunpowder must be the international division that had just come down from the position, numbering more than 300 people, and their faces were numb, and some did not even have guns, and there was no need to think about it, it must be the skirmishers of the Eighth Army Corps, the largest number, nearly 500 people. And the last group of people made Liu Hua not understand, they were all about 30 old Red Army, and there were nearly 100 people.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Liu Hua said loudly, "Now that I am reorganizing you as the head of the Red Tenth Regiment, is there anyone who is not convinced."

Look at the silent warrior in front of him.

"Now I order all cadres above the company level or who have served at or above the company level to be listed."

Soon, several fighters from the side of the International Division stood up, all of whom were company-level cadres. There were even fewer on the side of the Eighth Army, and it is estimated that all the cadres were killed in battle. To Liu Hua's surprise, almost half of those veterans came forward.

Gao Yuan, the former head of the Red First Army, Wang Nanhu, the former deputy head of the Red Third Army, Chen Dazhong, the former deputy head of the Red Fifth Army, and Li Qing, the former deputy political commissar of the Red Eighth Army Division

After listening to these people's reports, Liu Hua was immediately stunned, who are these people! OMG.

Seeing that the regiment commander began to be in a daze again, Lao Sun reminded, "Regiment commander, those people were all demoted because of the rebellion, I don't know what's wrong, they didn't cross the river."

"Okay, now I order, Gao Yuan is the commander of the fourth battalion of the Red Tenth Regiment, the officers and soldiers of the department are more than 34 of Hong, Wang Nanhu is the commander of the fifth battalion of the Red Tenth Regiment, the officers and soldiers of the department are the rest of the International Division of the Young Communist Party, and 200 officers and soldiers are added from the remnants of the Eighth Army Corps, and the third battalion of Zhao Dahe is also supplemented with 200 remnants of the Eighth Army Corps, and Chen Dazhong is appointed as the commander of the sixth battalion, composed of the remaining 100 and more than 100 members of the Eighth Army Corps and all the remaining Red Army cadres plus all the prisoners who are willing to join the Red Army. The guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon select officers and men from each battalion to form a guard company and a reconnaissance company, and give you half an hour to reorganize the troops, and the fighters select the squad leader, the squad leader selects the platoon leader, and the company commander is appointed by the battalion commander. All personnel are replenished from captured weapons and ammunition, which must be sufficient. Assemble in half an hour, and then I will see the seven main battalions full of spirits. ”

"Yes, resolutely complete the task." All the appointed cadres shouted in unison.

After finishing speaking, he came to Li Qing's side, "Political Commissar Li, can you just go to the regiment headquarters to serve as the acting political commissar, since I was appointed as the head of the regiment, the Red Tenth Regiment has not had a political commissar, is it okay?" After speaking, he looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing was originally unhappy that Liu Hua did not arrange a position for him, but when he saw that Liu Hua actually found him in person and asked him to be the political commissar of the regiment, can he not be excited?

"Regiment leader, since you trust me so much, I will definitely cooperate with your work and be a good acting political commissar." Li Qing replied excitedly.

Looking at the reorganized troops in front of him, Liu Hua was like a dream, these are six infantry battalions, one firepower battalion, two directly subordinate companies (missing a platoon of reconnaissance), each infantry battalion is a full establishment of 500 people, and the whole regiment has a total of more than 3,500 people, which is more than the two main regiments of the Red Army.

Speaking of firepower, it is even more incredible. Due to the large number of captures, each infantry squad has a light machine gun, the fire battalion includes an artillery company with 12 mortars, two machine gun companies with 12 heavy machine guns each, the ammunition is even more sufficient, there are many shells to play, there are 100 rounds of ammunition per person still left, looking at the entire Red Army, the firepower of a division is not comparable to Liu Hua's Red Tenth Regiment, in addition to heavy firepower, in terms of light firepower will only be better than a division of the Central Army.

Looking at the warrior in front of him, Liu Hua was stunned. Li Qing was also stunned, is this still a group?

"Comrades, I am Liu Hua, the head of the Red Tenth Regiment, and many of you should have heard of the Tenth Regiment! Four regiments of the enemy were annihilated at Gulingtou, and then one regiment of one division of the Central Army was annihilated with the 11th Regiment. You must have a hard time believing me! But I tell you, it's all true, look at the rifle bullets in your hands that have been seized in the past two days. I don't say this to invite credit, I just want to say that it turns out that we only have about a thousand people, and we lack ammunition, we can all win the battle, and today? We have more than 3,500 people, well-armed and ample ammunition, what else do we have to fear, aren't we surrounded by tens of thousands of people? Isn't it just that we are all left on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River? What's the big deal, it's a big deal that let's go back to the base area. ”

Looking at the silent warriors below, Liu Hua shouted loudly

"Comrades, are you willing to sit here and wait for the enemy to come and catch you?"

"Unwilling" Looking at the soldiers who gave different answers, Liu Hua shouted again, "Answer me loudly, whether you are willing or not." ”

"Unwilling"

"Okay, I don't want to, do the comrades have the confidence to fight back to the base area with me and rebuild my homeland."

"Yes"

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was immediately mobilized by Liu Hua's few words, Li Qing was completely convinced, his partner was not only open-minded, but also able to fight, and his ideological work was so powerful, it seemed that he would have to study more in the future.
