Chapter 523: The Secrets of Li Yunlongs Red Army Period
Three days have passed since Zhou Weihan presided over the reorganization meeting of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region.
More than 5,000 new soldiers who needed to be replenished to each regiment have been assembled in the newly built camps near the military region. Zhou Weihan ordered Zhou Weiguo to take several combat staff to contact each regiment. The weapons and equipment were uniformly exchanged and equipped by the Military Supplies Department.
Therefore, after only three days, each main force group and independent group quickly reached full strength as required.
Before reorganization, the recruits have been organized according to the organization of the infantry company. The combat backbones selected from the main regiment serve as cadres at all levels of the infantry company. Outstanding soldiers among the recruits can serve as deputy squad leaders, squad leaders, deputy platoon leaders, etc.
After the reorganization, the deputy positions of each main force regiment were transferred to the independent regiment to serve as chief military and political officers at all levels.
The vigorous reorganization of the troops of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region once again made Tan Lin sigh with emotion. Not only are the main force groups strong in combat effectiveness, but the potential of the reserve cadres is also among the best among the Eighth Route Army departments.
"Hey, let me tell you, when I was in the Tainan Military Region, I always advocated the cultivation of talents. I never stopped in terms of cultural learning. Before the Tainan Cadre School was established, the military region established cadre training classes and teaching teams.
, cadres at all levels are forced to come here in turn to study!”
"Otherwise, there would be no situation like this. When the Tainan Military Region troops were reorganized, each main regiment had already transferred a group of cadres to the main regiments. Now this is the second time!" Zhou Weihan said proudly
.
Take Jing Dagang's regiment as an example. The regiment is a model regiment in the Tainan Military Region. Since the reorganization of the Tainan Military Region, the regiment has not had a large number of new recruits for a long time.
The proportion of veterans in a regiment has always remained above 95%. What is this concept?
Judging from the combat quality of a regiment of soldiers, even an ordinary veteran transferred to the core regiment is enough to serve as a squad leader.
"To put it bluntly, when the regiment is fully established, we can use the regiment as a framework, expand it into a division, and add all the existing 5,000 new recruits to the regiment. With the old foundation of the regiment, we can still maintain a good situation.
Combat power." Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Haha, Old Zhou, what you said is that before the Red Army was reorganized, the unit numbers were mixed. There were even a few units with division-level designations, with at most more than a thousand people. Later, the National Government gave three division designations.
It gave the chiefs a lot of headaches at the time!”
"In desperation, each unit of the Red Army could only select elites and mix them into three divisions, which were almost formed into the rear troops. The 129th Division was jointly formed by the Fourth Red Army and the Northern Shaanxi Red Army!"
"A large number of cadres are retained in government agencies, in battalion schools or in teaching brigades, and some cadres with extremely strong military command capabilities are employed in the army. Even so, many capable cadres can only resign themselves to deputy positions, while regiment-level cadres can only serve as subordinates.
The battalion commander is pretty good. If a division-level cadre can be the leader of the main regiment, it proves that he has made many meritorious deeds before the adaptation!" Tan Lin said with emotion.
"Later, when we crossed the Yellow River eastward, our Eighth Route Army troops expanded rapidly, all relying on the old foundation left over from the Long March during the Red Army period. Some cadres relied on a company of old Red Army soldiers to pull out a regiment, and there were not a few!"
"That's for sure. After all, they are elites who survived many bloody battles, climbed snowy mountains, and crossed grasslands!" Zhou Weihan affirmed.
Those who survive the waves are extremely strong, both physically and mentally, and they are also lucky.
"By the way, I heard Li Yunlong mention it. He seemed to be the battalion commander or deputy commander of the 386th Brigade's supplementary regiment? I can't remember clearly!" Zhou Weihan's words intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Li Yunlong.
On the body.
"Hey, Comrade Li Yunlong is a very experienced comrade. His seniority from the position of regiment leader to the top and the bottom is not something that ordinary comrades can experience!" Tan Lin said half-jokingly.
"Have you ever heard of Li Yunlong before coming to Hebei, Luyu?"
"Have you forgotten what I did before?"
Tan Lin was from the First Red Army, and Li Yunlong was from the Fourth Red Army, but after the Red Army joined forces in northern Shaanxi, Tan Lin served as the director of the Organization Department of the Rear Area Political Department of the Red Army.
"When joining forces with the Fourth Front Army, the Fourth Front Army suddenly moved south. At that time, the communication equipment was backward. Perhaps the correspondent failed to contact Li Yunlong's regiment. By the time Li Yunlong found out, his regiment had long since separated from the main force!"
"It was a coincidence that Li Yunlong's regiment was stationed near the First Red Army Corps where I was at that time. I was the director of the political department of the First Red Army Corps at the time, and Lin was the commander of the regiment. They picked up a regiment for nothing for no reason. Who can be upset?
In this way, the Li Yunlong Regiment was incorporated into the First Red Army Corps."
Zhou Weihan suddenly became interested when he heard this. He had never heard Li Yunlong talk about this before, and then asked: "According to what you said, Li Yunlong suddenly changed from the Fourth Red Army to the First Red Army. Later he
Why did you follow the Western Expedition?"
After hearing this, Tan Lin glanced at Zhou Weihan meaningfully and said, "Humph, when it comes to fighting, Li Yunlong is a talented person, but when it comes to politics, his mind is like a lake of water!"
"Later, Li Yunlong led his troops and made great contributions. Such a tiger general won Lin's love. However, Li Yunlong's regiment was also a famous main regiment in the Fourth Front Army. The leading cadres of the Fourth Front Army applied to their superiors to transfer Li Yunlong's regiment back!"
"At that time, I had been transferred to the Rear Area Political Department. Lin had no choice but to find me and asked me to come up with an idea. What I meant was that by keeping Li Yunlong on the pretext of letting him enter the Red Army Anti-Japanese University to study, he could transfer his troops back.
The Fourth Front Army!"
"But Li Yunlong, a stupid young man, refused to go to the Anti-Japanese University to study, and had to stay in the army. In the end, both sides had no choice but to exchange a regiment. Li Yunlong's regiment returned to the Fourth Front Army, and Ding Wei's regiment was transferred to the First Front Army!
"
"You will know what happens next!" Tan Lin finally said.
"Oh, so that's it!" Zhou Weihan nodded with deep satisfaction, suddenly feeling that it was really good to have a qualified partner like Tan Lin.
Tan Lin had served in the Political Department and was familiar with the profiles of cadres at all levels of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, because of the work of the Political Department, he had dealt with many cadres from the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. Having such a partner just made up for Zhou Weihan's role here.
deficiencies.
"That being said, Li Yunlong is indeed a qualified and capable comrade. He was wronged by having him be the regiment leader!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Didn't I meet a good superior like you? I promoted Li Yunlong. However, after getting in touch with him during this period, I feel that Li Yunlong has changed a lot from before!"
"We haven't seen each other for several years and we work together again. I almost doubt that this is still Li Yunlong?" Tan Lin said in surprise.
