After the training and formation of the troops was completed, it was time for the Red Army to get out of the mountains. According to historical development, the next step is for the first legion to occupy the passage. Considering that the Red Army has heavy combat tasks, heavy casualties among its backbone, and the tactical level is in urgent need of improvement. Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, Liu
After discussion, Li Qing decided to set up a regiment training team, and selected personnel from the squad platoon cadres and combat backbones of the four battalions to join the training team to study and serve as the final reserve team of the entire regiment during combat.
The teaching team leader is concurrently served by Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong is responsible for the cultural education and ideological education of the teaching team, and Liu Jiancheng is responsible for military education. In Liu Yimin's words, the teaching team will be the cadre team of the 18th Regiment in the future, and its mission is to train company, platoon, and squad cadres for the army.
, so training and education must be in front of the whole team. Especially in the study of cultural knowledge, every team member
You must learn at least 1,000 words, learn simple arithmetic, and learn to read maps. If possible, you must also study by major. For the time being, you can offer four majors: artillery, infantry, engineering, and politics. Based on the Red Army school textbooks, you can march while marching.
Study, learn while fighting, and generally do not arrange combat missions for the teaching team until the life and death of the entire regiment.
In accordance with Liu Yimin's request, Liu Jianshe and Cai Zhong searched for talents in the entire regiment and selected instructors for the teaching team. They actually found several instructors who had made mistakes in the former Red Army school and were reorganized by the Xiangjiang River.
Cai Zhong asked Liu Yimin if he dared to use it. Liu Yimin said that these people were all staunch revolutionary fighters and that they violated the wrong line of Li De and Bo Gu. In fact, they were all correct.
Cai Zhong looked at Liu Yimin with wide eyes: "How dare you say that the central leadership is wrong?"
Liu Yimin said: "The only criterion for testing truth is practice. Practice since the Red Army's five counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns has proven that Li De and Bogu's line is wrong. The blood of Red Army soldiers on both sides of the Xiangjiang River has declared the bankruptcy of Li De and Bogu's line. Facts
It proves that Comrade Mao Zedong’s line is correct. Only by choosing Comrade Mao Zedong as our commander can our Red Army move from victory to victory.”
Cai Zhong said: "Aren't you afraid of being arrested?"
Liu Yimin said: "We may die at any time now, so why are we afraid of arrest? Besides, we are not in the Soviet area now, and their method of arresting people will no longer work. Don't worry, just do it boldly."
After the training team was established, Liu Yimin took an afternoon to gather all the cadres above the deputy squad leader for short-term tactical training, focusing on training infantry offensive, defensive, anti-artillery and anti-aircraft tactics. He summarized the offensive time of the infantry squad that had been tempered by wars for later generations.
The line formation, triangle formation, trapezoidal formation and defensive formation, triangle formation, trapezoidal formation, anti-slope position construction, anti-gun hole construction, anti-air shooting, camouflage position, etc. were explained in detail.
Seeing the cadres listening intoxicated, Liu Yimin also carried out the six major tactical principles of the four fields: one point and two sides, three three systems, three fierces, three situations and three ways of playing, four fast and one slow, and four groups and one team.
Explanation. Especially when talking about the three-three system, what Liu Yimin talked about was different from the Red Army's prisoner policy, emphasizing that the prisoners of the national army should be replaced as soon as they were captured.
A cadre reported that this was inconsistent with our army's policy of mobilizing prisoners to voluntarily join the Red Army and paying traveling expenses to prisoners who did not want to join the Red Army.
Liu Yimin said that this question is well raised. The prisoner policy of our Red Army is good. It has played a role in promoting the Red Army and dividing and disintegrating the enemy. However, practice has proved that many prisoners were continued to be captured after being released and continued to join the national army to fight the Red Army. These
People are quick to surrender when our army is victorious, but they will also attack us viciously when our army is defeated. I believe all comrades understand this. Therefore, the best way is to give full play to the strong political and ideological work of our army.
Advantages, directly transform these prisoners into Red Army soldiers and join us in the revolution. You must know that many national army prisoners are well-trained soldiers. They can directly join the battle as soon as their minds change. In this way, the Red Army team can be quickly strengthened and the enemy weakened.
To achieve this, each of our cadres is required to be both a commander and an ideological and political work instructor, and each Red Army soldier is both a combatant and an ideological and political worker. The complaints and three investigation activities we have carried out have already served as a guide for those who are captured or imprisoned.
I found a good way.
Another cadre reported that most Red Army soldiers were illiterate and could not do ideological and political work.
Liu Yimin said that if you can't read, you should learn to read. In the future, all squad leaders of the 18th Red Regiment must be able to know 1,000 words, be able to read maps, write summaries, and use rifles, light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and platoon leaders must be able to write about battles.
To sum up, the company commander must have the level of a Red Army school graduate, and the cadres above the battalion commander must have the level of a Red Army university graduate. They must learn while marching, and learn while fighting. We must know that an army without culture is an army without a future, and our Red Army soldiers will die.
If you are not afraid, are you still afraid of learning to read? Remember, we must not only be heroes on the battlefield, but also heroes in learning. From now on, at the end of each battle, we will summarize the gains and losses of the battle in squad units, platoons, companies, and battalions.
A written battle summary must be formed. When fighting a battle, the tactical literacy of individual soldiers must be improved a step, the command ability of cadres must be improved a step further, and the overall tactical level of the army must be improved a big step.
After the tactical training, the cadres began to lead the soldiers in marching drills to experiment with the new tactical ideas taught by Liu Yimin.
Considering that the morale of the troops was generally low after the tragic defeat in Xiangjiang, Liu Yimin thought about whether to come up with a military song or something in advance. After much deliberation, it was better to sing "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention". Especially when the 18th Regiment was reorganized.
The troops urgently need to be restrained by Red Army discipline.
Liu Yimin called Cai Zhong and told him his thoughts. Cai Zhong said you sing and I will listen and then talk about it. Liu Yimin sang and Cai Zhong said yes, but the content and words are a little different from our "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention"
, it seems to have been changed for the better.
Liu Yimin said, of course. Didn't you see that I have been thinking about it for several days? Our group will learn to sing first. If the singing is good and the effect is good, it will be spread among the Red Army troops.
Cai Zhong said, I never thought you could compose music.
Liu Yimin said that I did not compose the tune. It was a tune from the Prussian military song "Kaiser Wilhelm's Military Drill Song". When training the new army in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, used this tune to write lyrics as a formation song. After the Republic of China, Beiyang
The armies of various warlord factions and the Northern Expeditionary Army all used this song to fill in new lyrics as a military song. I modified our Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention and added them to the song. The purpose is to strictly enforce military discipline and improve the cohesion of the troops.
Cai Zhong said that you are really good at it. You can't tell that something will make a big difference if you stir it up a little bit.
In this way, the famous "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" were released in the Red 18th Regiment 2 years earlier than in history.
After the training and formation of the troops was completed, it was time for the Red Army to come out of the mountains. According to historical development, the first legion occupied the passage and began to hold the famous passage meeting. Since the original radio station of the 18th Regiment had been damaged in the Xinwei Blockade,
Liu Yimin had no choice but to walk to the legion headquarters early in the morning to report on the reorganization of the troops and request instructions.
The Legion Headquarters of the Third Army was temporarily located in a mountain temple. When Liu Yimin arrived, General Manager Peng and Chief of Staff Deng Ping were crawling in front of a map to analyze and study it.
After not seeing each other for a few days, both Mr. Peng and Deng Ping seemed to have lost weight. Mr. Peng was better, he was stocky, and he came from a grassroots level in the army. Although he was a little thinner, his energy and energy had not changed much. Chief of Staff Deng Ping looked like
She is extremely thin, and her eye sockets appear to be extremely deep and her eyes are extremely bright.
After listening to Liu Yimin's report, Mr. Peng was very satisfied. Regarding Liu Yimin's proposal of equipping with radio stations and weapons, Mr. Peng said that there was nothing. If it were available, Liu Yimin would not need to be the commander of the 18th Regiment. Someone in the Red Army could be the commander.
There were too many. In the end, Mr. Peng arranged a radio station for Liu Yimin from the army. Then Mr. Peng pointed to the map and said to Liu Yimin: "The Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the Third Red Army Corps to be the left wing, the Second Division of the Red First Army Corps, and the First Column of the Military Commission.
, the 9th Red Army Corps is on the right wing, the 1st Red Army Division is on the right, the 2nd Column of the Central Military Commission is in the center, the 5th Army Corps leads the 8th Army Corps to the rear, and advances towards the passage, with the goal of marching into western Hunan. Now the 1st Army Corps and the 2nd Division are marching along the city to the passage, and our 3rd Army Corps is marching towards the passage.
We will also enter the passage area today. Considering that the main force of the Xiangjiang Campaign suffered serious casualties and the supply of food and ammunition was difficult, and your regiment fought several clever battles starting from the Xinwei blockade, the backbone troops have sufficient ammunition and high morale, and the newly formed company needs
Run in the battle, so your regiment is ordered to be the vanguard of the army and advance towards the channel with the goal of occupying the county town of the channel. After completing the task, organize defense on the spot, send powerful troops to the north and west for reconnaissance and warning, and pay attention to connect the first army and the Military Commission column
.Do you understand?"
"Complete the mission resolutely!"
After Liu Yimin answered, he saw that Mr. Peng's face was neither surprised nor angry, and he said cautiously: "I want to report to the commander of the army, I want to make a suggestion, is that okay?"
Mr. Peng said: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Reporting to the commander of the regiment, there is no problem for our army to occupy the passage, but it cannot march to western Hunan. Now even a three-year-old child knows that Chiang Kai-shek planted pockets on the way the Red Army advanced to western Hunan. It may be bigger than the pockets on the Xiangjiang River, and the plot is more insidious. Especially
In order to prevent the Central Red Army from joining forces with the 2nd and 6th Army Corps, the Hunan Army had already built bunkers along the line of western Hunan. Not to mention that the current Red Army was unable to break through, even if it broke through, it is estimated that the Central Red Army would have to peel off its skin even if it did not die. Therefore, the Red Army
We must not advance toward western Hunan, and we should quickly change our march route. It is recommended that we seize the passage and then advance toward the Guizhou border."
President Peng said: "I will report this suggestion to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission."
Liu Yimin tried to suggest: "Can we report these situations to Chairman Mao, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou separately? We cannot force the Red Army to point the enemy's guns at the enemy."
Mr. Peng's eyebrows jumped up, he thought for a while, and said: "You don't need to think about other things. Pay special attention to strengthening the vigilance after occupying the passage. No attack to the north without orders."
"Yes, resolutely complete the task!"
After coming out of General Peng's place, Liu Yimin hurried back to the army, summoned several regiment leaders and several battalion commanders to assign tasks. He ordered the reconnaissance platoon to set off immediately and conduct reconnaissance in the direction of the passage; the first battalion, company and sniper platoon served as the vanguard of the entire army to search in the direction of the passage.
Advance; the 1st Battalion, 2nd Company, 3rd Company and 2nd Battalion, and the Regimental Fire Support Platoon serve as the second echelon, advancing immediately behind the forward; the 3rd and 4th Battalions serve as the support echelon, and the distance from the second echelon cannot exceed 2,000 meters. The remaining recruit battalions
The cadres and soldiers of the regiment and the teaching team served as a cover echelon, following the actions behind the third echelon. In order to avoid misunderstandings and accidental injuries, the entire regiment wore Red Army uniforms when setting off. Once outside the security range of the Red Army security force, the reconnaissance platoon and forwards all changed into Hunan Army uniforms.
The second echelon put on Gui army uniforms and pretended to be marching as enemy troops. The regiment leader moved with the vanguard, the chief of staff moved with the second echelon, the political commissar moved with the third echelon, and the director of the political department moved with the covering echelon. Political Commissar Cai Zhong proposed as
Military leaders and regimental leaders should not move with the vanguard. Liu Yimin said that I have better ways to deal with the enemy than you. If I move with the vanguard, I can grasp the situation as early as possible and avoid losses as much as possible. Stop arguing. The whole regiment will prepare for one hour and bring a day's worth of supplies.
Dry food, set off immediately in an hour, and try to have dinner in the passage city in the evening.
