Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Li Jiansheng even estimated that the Central Committee would not agree; of course, he also thought that if the Central Committee agreed, only the Fifth Red Front Army would be suitable.

The Red 1st and Red 4th Front already exist. It is impossible for me to use these two numbers. In the official history, the Red 2nd Front was composed of the Red 2nd Army and the Red 6th Army led by He, Ren and others. I dare not occupy them. The Third Red Front Army does not exist in history. I am afraid that it cannot be used. The Fifth Red Front Army is used. The first is that it is arranged in order. It is after the Fourth Front Army. It makes sense; the second one, although it also does not exist in history. But at any rate, I have created many miracles since I came to this era. It is not surprising that I will create a new one.

But unexpectedly, history is still progressing on the normal track. Or maybe there is a certain destiny: Li Jiansheng's troops were actually agreed to use the designation of the Red Army's Third Front. This is the designation of the Red Army's Front that does not exist in official history.

Sigh. Sigh deeply.

However, with the approval of the central government, Li Jiansheng and Huang Su breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. After an afternoon and an evening of preparation, the next morning, Li Jiansheng formally held the founding meeting of the Third Red Front Army and officially announced the formation and appointment decisions. :

1. The Sixteenth Red Army Corps, the Eighteenth Red Army Corps, and the Seventeenth Red Army Corps, which will be formed from nearby small groups of Red Army units in accordance with the central government’s documents, will jointly form the Third Front Army of the Red Army. Li Jiansheng will serve as Party Secretary and Commander-in-Chief of the Front Army; Huang Su will serve as Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Front Army and General Political Commissar; Wang Hanying is a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Chief of General Staff; Zeng Zhongsheng is a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Deputy Commander-in-Chief; Liao Rongkun, the former deputy commander of the 25th Red Army, is a member of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Director of the Political Department; Xu Zhengfang is Member of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Director of the Logistics Department; Liao Chenxing is a member of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Director of the Training Department; Fan Chao is a member of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Director of the Intelligence and Information Department; Wu Kelie is a member of the Party Committee of the Front Army and Director of the Security Department.

2. The directly affiliated units originally assigned to the Red 16th and Red 18th Army Corps. Including artillery division, machine gun division, engineer brigade, baggage brigade, special agent brigade, teaching brigade, sniper regiment, reconnaissance regiment, field hospital, etc. All Return to the original organizational structure and unify and integrate. Upgrade to a unit directly under the front army. Leadership positions return to the original state before the separation. The resulting vacancies in the direct units of the two legions will be resolved by each legion. The front army can allocate part of its backbone support. And restore the five independent regiments that were temporarily formed by recruits and prisoners to their original state to make up for the vacancies left by the legions after the deployment of troops to form directly affiliated troops. The equipment system and logistics system at the front and legion levels must be merged. .organized into a new two-level logistics department, front army and corps.

3. The newly formed Sixteenth Red Army Corps. Ji Zhentong was appointed as the Army Commander. Peng Zhi was appointed as the Political Commissar of the Army Corps. Zhou Pei was appointed as the Chief of Staff. Xie Hanchang was appointed as the Director of the Political Department. Zeng Xiangyang was appointed as the Director of the Logistics Department. The former First Deputy Director of the Training Department of the Eighteenth Red Army Corps. , veteran Red Army Deng Xianzhong is appointed as the director of the training department. Xiao Taiming is appointed as the director of the security department. Ren Huayun is appointed as the director of the intelligence and information department.

4. The original Eighteenth Red Army Corps was replaced by Yuntian as the Army Commander, Liu Qiao as the Political Commissar, Wang Bingnan as the Chief of Staff, Zhao Boping as the Director of the Political Department, Huang Hua, the former First Deputy Director of the Logistics Department, as the Director of the Logistics Department, and Ou Zhengping as the Director of the Intelligence and Information Department. ; Jin Wanbang, former member of the Jiangxi Provincial Soviet Standing Committee and Minister of Military Affairs, is appointed as the director of the Legion Training Department. This time, the old Red Army Li Jiansheng rescued from the gunpoint of the anti-revolutionary personnel, Yu Zidan, former deputy director of the Security Department of the 28th Red Army, is appointed as the director of the Security Department .

5. According to the instructions of the Central Committee, the Red Army from nearby places will be unified into the Seventeenth Red Army and reorganized into the Third Red Front Army. Although it is impossible to successfully reorganize immediately, it is estimated that many contacts from the Red Army will come to the base area in the near future and stay. The training office personnel of the two legions were responsible for reception and registration, making preparations for future renovation work.

I have to say that this back and forth was really a toss-up. However, this may be a once and for all matter, but it still made Li Jiansheng and Huang Su determined to do it. It took a whole week for all the troops to fully restore their organizational structure. This was disappointing. Li Jiansheng once again saw the shortcomings and deficiencies of his army. He also saw the importance of the staff office. Therefore, he continued to issue an order: the staff office of the front army was upgraded to the staff department.

Li Jiansheng may not realize now how much his order today will help him in the future. Later, when fighting the Japanese army, it was because of the huge staff and preparation capabilities that Li Jiansheng was able to strategize again and again. , and won again and again. Of course, in the end, Li Jiansheng realized this. He summed up his experience and pioneered development. He spent his whole life working hard for the staff work of the army and the construction of the staff department, and achieved outstanding achievements. Of course, this is something for later. I won’t say more for now.

After the army reorganization was completed, Li Jiansheng telegraphed the report on the reorganization and appointment results of his troops to the Central Committee. He breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that by doing this, he was ahead of the Central Committee's planning of the national Red Army designation in August 1934. And now he can be regarded as a high-ranking member of one side. He has become a dignified senior commander of the front army.

The excitement was short-lived. Once the troops were reorganized and rested, Li Jiansheng unified the command of the two legions and the troops directly under the front army to assemble in the direction of Chenzhou. The Red Sixteenth legion was under the jurisdiction of the Red 2nd Division, and the Red 4th Division was ordered to complete the task first. Interspersed to form a semi-encirclement in the north of Chenzhou. After a day and night fierce battle, the two local security groups stationed in Gaoting were completely annihilated. Then they interspersed with the Red 3rd Division and the Red 5th Division of the 18th Red Army to attack from the north and south. They were defeated in one fell swoop. Another security regiment of the 73rd Division of the Hunan enemy stationed at Pingpingwei. After two battles, more than 3,000 people were captured. Yu Ke'an, the commander of the 73rd Division, led his troops to escape back to Leiyang. At this point, the Hengyang, Leiyang, and Chenzhou front lines had been completely destroyed by the Red Third Front Army. Cut off. Chenzhou became an isolated army. The Red Army had four entire divisions to firmly control the main traffic arteries connecting Leiyang and Chenzhou. Other units of the Red Third Front Army used the four Red Divisions 2, 3, 4, and 5 to clear out the outskirts of Chenzhou. The enemy has completed the siege of Chenzhou. At this point, a total of 8 divisions including Red 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, artillery, and machine guns have been assembled outside Chenzhou, as well as three direct brigades of engineers, baggage, and special agents.

When attacking Chenzhou City, Li Jiansheng once again used the old Marshal Lin's offensive tactics: carrying out massive soil work. This is why he insisted on having all engineers and baggage troops come to the battlefield this time. In his opinion. These people are either the most professional, or they have more people and more strength and can help. Of course. From the bottom of his heart, Li Jiansheng also wants to see how the engineers he has trained and trained for many years are doing. Hmm. Consider it a review.
