Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

The 16th Red Army Corps is the leading force, and the 8th Red Division is the arrowhead of the leading force; the 15th Red Army Corps and the engineer brigade directly under the front army follow the Red 16th Army Corps; followed by the logistics system, field hospital and weapons development institute of the 3rd Red Front Army; Next is the 17th Red Army Corps, the artillery brigade directly under the front army, which was originally directly under the artillery division; and finally the 18th Red Army Corps at the rear, of which the 1st Red Division and the Secret Service Brigade serve as the rearguard of the rearguard force.

Li Jiansheng's Red Third Front Army marched through the night in such a march sequence, and marched for more than two hours. By around 1 a.m. on December 2, Li Jiansheng saw that all the troops were extremely exhausted, and considered that they had already crossed the Xiangjiang River. , temporarily leaving the enemy far behind, so they had a chance to rest. Therefore, they immediately telegraphed to Huang Su in front to let all the troops rest on the spot. Of course, before taking a rest, considering the reason of keeping out the cold, the cooks of each ministry A pot of chili soup was cooked for each commander and fighter. It was night, and more than 90,000 commanders and fighters of the Red Third Front Army lit a fire to rest on the road. The Seventeenth Red Army Corps temporarily became a guard because there was less fighting, and they arrived at 5 in the morning. At around 12:00, Li Jiansheng was woken up, and he took the 16th Red Army Corps, which had also seen little fighting, to replace the 17th Red Army Corps as the guard. The 17th Red Army Corps troops continued to rest. As for the soldiers of the 15th Red Army Corps, they were sleeping now. They felt the most fragrant because they were the ones who lacked the most sleep. Perhaps, this night's rest was the most restful night they slept since the Long March.

At around 8 o'clock the next morning, all Li Jiansheng's troops got up, had breakfast, and continued marching. After a night's rest, the soldiers of each unit had recovered. The International Division of the Young Communist Party of the 15th Red Army Corps, the 34th Red Division, and the Independent The troops of the division were the calmest. A good night's sleep allowed these young soldiers to quickly recover their physical strength and spirit. The replenishment by the Xiang River changed the weapons in their hands. The bullet bags were full, and the grenade bags were also full. The combat effectiveness seems to have increased instead of falling. Li Jiansheng's original unit, due to years of heavy cross-country training, now has an obvious advantage. It can not only continue to fight, but also has a night's rest, and its physical strength recovers quickly. Now it is also Li Jiansheng was so high-spirited and saw that his troops were in good spirits. He smiled slightly and immediately sent a telegram to ask the Red 8th Division at the front to lead the team and set off.

Next, there was another three consecutive days of rapid march. Although there were also harassments from enemy aircraft, because the soldiers avoided in an orderly manner, they did not cause much damage. As for the enemy's pursuit on land, they were temporarily thrown away by the Red Army. They just followed at a distance. In this way, the marching speed of Li Jiansheng's troops was not greatly affected. They just moved forward unhurriedly, eating when it was time to eat and resting when it was time to rest. The fourth day, 12 On March 5, Li Jiansheng's troops finally arrived at Madi, which is considered an important town in northeastern Guangxi.

Li Jiansheng's troops immediately rested on the spot. After several days of marching on time and resting on time, the soldiers' condition was getting better day by day. They were far less tired than when they first fought in the Xiangjiang River. Li Jiansheng rushed to the guard regiment to prepare for him. In a courtyard in Madi, Huang Su rushed over and told Li Jiansheng the good news: It turned out that the Third Red Army had already contacted the main force of the First Red Army. At present, Commander Peng Regiment of the Red Third Army of the First Red Army was there. In a small village not far ahead, several generals from the Red 15th Division, Red 34th Division, and Red 18th Regiment of the 15th Red Regiment, which originally belonged to the Red Front Army, wanted to see their old leader. Huang Su knew that Li Jiansheng knew Mr. Peng. I wanted to ask him if he was going.

Go, of course, why not? You know, I came to southern Hunan not long after I took Mr. Peng to Jinggangshan. I haven’t seen Mr. Peng in these few years. Even when I went to the Central Soviet Area, Boss Peng is still on the front line, and he has not seen him.

As soon as Li Jiansheng saw Huang Su's proposal, he went together without saying a word. Also going were Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin, Huang Hui, Wu Zixiong and others. Wu Zixiong is now much better and can move off the stretcher, but he cannot do strenuous exercise. Of course I will go with Li Jiansheng and others.

The place where Mr. Peng lives is actually across this town from Li Jiansheng's camp. Li Jiansheng's department is on this side of Madi Town, and Mr. Peng and his friends live on the other side of Madi Town. Li Jiansheng and others are all young people, and they are afraid that It took only a pack of cigarettes to arrive. Mr. Peng’s temporary resting place was in a small courtyard at the east end of the town. The courtyard was very quiet. The Red Army troops camping in squads were sleeping in the open space outside the courtyard. Li Jiansheng noticed It seems that there are many wounded among these soldiers, most of them are lightly wounded. Seeing this, Li Jiansheng secretly moved in his heart, guessing that the troops may have fought too hard, and most of the seriously wounded may not be able to be evacuated from the position, which is why this happened. situation.

When several soldiers on guard saw a group of soldiers wearing strange clothes, they immediately became vigilant. However, perhaps they knew that they were surrounded by their own people, so they did not fire directly. Li Zhi immediately stepped forward and informed them. Li Jiansheng, the commander-in-chief of the Third Red Front Army, came to visit Mr. Peng. When these guards heard that he was the commander-in-chief of the Third Red Front Army, their faces lit up with joy. Two of them were about to go in and report. Li Jiansheng thought about it and wanted to see the old leader. Then he signaled the guards to be quiet and just go in with a few of them. Just make a shushing gesture, and then go into the courtyard with Chen Shuxiang, Cheng Cuilin and others. After entering the courtyard, I heard Mr. Peng using his unique thick voice. The Hunan accent is scolding: "What the hell is this war? My three armies are almost finished."

It seemed that Mr. Peng had been scolding his mother at home for a while, and Li Jiansheng and others were able to hear the last two sentences. Upon hearing this familiar accent, Li Jiansheng subconsciously stopped and continued to listen. However, Mr. Peng's voice stopped temporarily. He paused, only to hear another voice speaking: "Commander of the Army, now is not the time to curse. The troops are all crippled. The fifth and sixth divisions have suffered two-thirds casualties, and the fourth division has also suffered one-third casualties. We must hurry up." Find a way." Li Jiansheng was not very familiar with this voice and could not guess whether it belonged to Yang Shangkun or Deng Ping. However, these words obviously aroused the anger of Mr. Peng: "What can I do? If this continues, the army will be wiped out sooner or later. ," paused for a moment, and then almost roared: "This is not a war, this is just letting Bald Jiang kill him, these commanders are just giving random orders, messing around, no, not messing around, it's Baldy Jiang is commanding, we go wherever he tells us to go, we have to block wherever he tells us to block, and we have to get into the pockets he arranges,"

Then there was an extremely depressed sigh, the voice of Mr. Peng, which seemed particularly lonely,
