At 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, while the residents on Jingwuzhou Street were still sleeping, the Red Army troops drove to the farmland outside Jingwuzhou Street in company units, where a small platform had been set up.
The first battalion and the first company began to sing, singing "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention". As soon as they finished singing, the second company started singing, then the third company, and then the other battalions. After the singing was finished, it was impossible to tell who was who.
The level is high. Zhao Jie, the instructor of the first battalion, was unwilling and immediately stood up and shouted: "All the first battalion is here, listen to my command and shout the slogan: one battalion, one battalion, pioneer. Get ready, shout!"
"One battalion, one battalion, pioneers! One battalion, one battalion, pioneers!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, which was very powerful and majestic.
Li Congmin, the instructor of the Second Battalion, followed suit and immediately shouted the slogan "Second Battalion, Second Battalion, Assault Heroes".
When Hu Xuerong, the instructor of the Third Battalion, heard this, one of you is a pioneer and the other is an assault hero. Are we, the Third Battalion, worse than you? Didn't you shout two sentences? I shouted four. So "Third Battalion, Three Battalions, Red Army heroes. Can attack"
The four slogans of "Good defense and invincibility!" rang out in the wilderness at dawn.
Liu Yi, the instructor of the Fourth Battalion, thought to himself, you have run out of good words. You are pioneers, assault heroes, good at attacking and defending, so what are we? So, the Fourth Battalion also shouted: "Four Battalions, Four Battalions, pacesetters of the Red Army. Tactics
Be flexible and win every battle."
The instructor of the fifth battalion, Wang Nanhu, was a veteran of the Pingjiang Uprising. He knew that this was an excellent period to boost morale and enhance the pride of soldiers, but he could not show weakness. Although his battalion was newly formed after the Xiaoshui War, the two backbone companies
It is also an old company during the training period in Xiyan. The Battle of Xikou was fought with vigor and excitement. It is a veritable main camp. Don't you two or four sentences? But each sentence has four words. I will give you seven words.
After a little practice, it started: "Red Army troops - count five battalions, Battle of Xikou - gain fame. Go north to fight against Japan - be a vanguard, fight south and north - be called heroes." A company called the first four
The two companies shouted the last three characters, with great momentum.
Lei Ming, the commander of the Sixth Battalion, took a look and thought, this is not shouting slogans, is it simply an attack on the mountain? The morale of each one is higher than the last, and each one is more confident than the other. Who do our Sixth Battalion fear? We are also fighting in Xiaoshui, Xi
The main battalion that came out of the Battle of Mouth. Although it was formed a little late, it’s not my fault, it’s the commander’s fault for not discovering our Lao Lei’s ability earlier. The sixth battalion should have been formed long ago! Before the instructor Li Deguang could ponder the slogan, he
He stood up and commanded and shouted: "Thousands of troops and horses - look at the six battalions, cut down the pass and seize the pass - Ren Hengxing. Fight a bright road - clean up the mountains and rivers - all red."
Li Chang, the commander of the artillery battalion, could not hold it any longer. Hearing the slogans of the infantry combat battalion, he felt irritated. As soon as the thundering Sixth Battalion finished shouting, the artillery battalion came up: "Artillery battalion, artillery battalion, dominate the battlefield.
The divine eye shoots with perfect accuracy."
He Mingliang, the commander of the engineering battalion, heard that the artillerymen were already up. What are the engineering battalions waiting for? If they don't rush forward, the engineering battalion will stop messing around in the future. He hurriedly asked the instructor Ren Chaoran to discuss it, and Ren Chaoran was also thinking about it.
One sentence, one sentence by me, and I quickly finished four sentences. After I compiled it, I saw that the artillery battalion was still shouting, and the shouting was so loud that it shook the sky. He Mingliang thought what was so great about the artillery, so awesome! Although our engineer battalion is now
I have never done engineering work, but we are issued weapons according to the standards of combat battalions. Of course, there are no cannons yet, but there will be some in the future. During the battle at Xikou, the regiment commander used the engineer battalion as the main battalion.
So the engineer battalion was started: "Engineers and engineers, top-notch technical soldiers. Able to fight and build, a model of the Red Army."
Wang Dahu, the instructor of the Eighth Battalion, took office yesterday. Since meeting Liu Yimin in Xinwei, Wang Dahu feels that a brand new door has opened in front of him. The treasures inside are shining. Everything is new, never seen or heard of. Therefore, Liu Yimin
He kept every word he said and every move he made in mind and studied it carefully. After being promoted from platoon leader to company commander, and becoming the leader of the most elite sharp knife company in the 18th Regiment, Wang Dahu felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Yesterday, three new combat battalions were established. Wang Dahu did not expect that he, the instructor, and the second company commander would be directly promoted to battalion instructors beyond the deputy battalion level, so he has been thinking about how to improve the morale of the troops.
In addition to discussing with the battalion commander, they also specifically consulted Cai Zhong, Liu Jianli and Li Qing. In the end, Cai Zhong personally compiled a few allegro verses and asked Wang Dahu to take them back and teach the soldiers to learn them. It just so happened that he learned and sold them now.
He yelled: "Being in the Red Army is the most glorious thing. The Red Army is the son of the workers and peasants. We carry guns and fight for the workers and peasants. The workers and peasants say that we are heroes. We say the Eighth Battalion, and I mean the Eighth Battalion. The Eighth Battalion is a new battalion of the Red Army. The first, second and third battalions do it.
Model, the 4th, 56th and 4th battalions are model soldiers. The new battalions are new recruits who have to learn and train hard. One day, they will go to the battlefield, charge into battle, and perform extraordinary feats."
This shout was both in line with the actual conditions of the Eighth Battalion and full of high fighting spirit. The soldiers from other battalions applauded.
Although most of the new soldiers in the new camp are new soldiers who joined the army, many of them have not fired 10 rounds of ammunition, but during the Xiaoshui battle, the grenade group in the new army camp made a great contribution. They did a great job in camouflaging and escorting prisoners in the Xikou battle.
Not bad. Therefore, in the minds of many soldiers, they are already old Red Army soldiers. The result is not bad. The troops were reorganized yesterday and the soldiers in the new barracks are still soldiers in the new barracks. Although the two battalion commanders have gone to combat camps to serve as battalion commanders,
Some soldiers were still unconvinced. No, when they saw that the Eighth Battalion actually ran to the front of their own camp and shouted slogans, they became angry. He was obviously a prisoner he captured the day before yesterday. Why is he now in the combat camp?
And I was still in the recruit camp? So, as soon as Chang Huayu, commander of the recruit battalion, made a gesture, a thundering roar burst out: "The recruit camp of the 18th Red Regiment, the first battle was majestic. The grenade dropped and the enemy was frightened and bloody.
Dye your clothes with bayonets red."
The new soldiers of the Seventh Battalion and the Ninth Battalion stood there quietly, with songs and slogans ringing in their ears for a while, one after another, in full swing, and their hearts were filled with overwhelming emotions! How many soldiers were captured in a state of confusion.
, learn to shoot, learn to assassinate under the commander's whip, and follow the commander to fight and arrest people. When have you ever seen such a battle? Some soldiers even thought, in the past, just thinking about catching a red bandit cost three oceans or five dollars.
The vast ocean, and then went to drink, gamble or bask in the sun. Who would have thought that the Red Bandits turned out to be a group of such passionate warriors! It seems that they are really fighting for their ideals. Who can defeat such an army? It seems that they are really fighting for their ideals.
Joining the Red Army was really the right move.
Before the seventh and ninth battalions shouted slogans, it was already 7 o'clock. Liu Jianshe, who presided over the meeting, announced the start of the founding meeting of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The first thing to do was to welcome new soldiers to join the army. The six main battalions and directly affiliated troop platoons
Cadres above the commander stood in a row in front of the rostrum, holding the red flowers made last night in their hands, including the new barracks and Xiaoshui of each battalion. Under the leadership of the cadres, the new soldiers who joined the army in the Xikou battle came one after another.
Go to the rostrum and ask the cadres to wear red flowers on their chests. The red stars on their hats, the red collar badges on their shoulders, and the red flowers on their chests make every new soldier feel warm in their heart.
Many years later, a new soldier in Xiaoshui who joined the Red Army said in an interview with a reporter: "At that moment, let alone asking me to take a gun to shoot white dogs, even asking me to block the enemy's machine gun holes, I would pounce without hesitation.
Go up. You are young and don’t understand that in old China, human life is as cheap as grass. When I grow up, when have I ever enjoyed the dignity and glory of being a human being and a soldier!"
The next step was to summarize and commend the battles in Xiaoshui and
, the third red battalion, the fourth red battalion, the heavy machine gun battalion, the sniper platoon, and the radio station were awarded collective special merit, and the artillery battalion, the red fifth battalion, the red sixth battalion, the engineer battalion, the recruit battalion, the cavalry company, and the reconnaissance platoon were awarded collective first-class merit.
As well as orders to record second-class collective merit for the baggage battalion, teaching team, guard platoon, communications platoon, and field rescue units.
Representatives of the meritorious units stood neatly in front of the rostrum. Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong stepped down from the stage and presented awards to the units with special merit, first-class merit, and second-class merit respectively.
There were no pleasantries, no greetings, not a single word of praise or encouragement. The scene was completely silent, and anyone who dared to cough would be greeted with a blank stare. Awards, salutes, handshakes, awards, salutes, handshakes, went on in sequence.
When Liu Yimin handed the last certificate of award to the first battalion commander Gao Yuan, and the two solemnly saluted and shook hands, there was a cry on the field. It was the old Red Army soldiers of the 18th Regiment who couldn't restrain their excitement, and they turned from gentle sobbing to
Weeping loudly. Yes, who would have thought that the 18th Regiment, which had exhausted all its reinforcements at Gulingtou and was waiting to perish with the enemy, could be reborn from the ashes and develop into the Central Guard Division that was about to be established?
After the crying subsided and the soldiers' emotions became slightly more stable, Li Qing began to read out the decision of the 18th Regiment Party Committee to credit the soldiers who were brave and outstanding in the battle of Xiaoshui and Xikou. There were too many names and the document was too long. This article
I won’t count them one by one. A total of 3,320 people were awarded third-class merit, 960 people were awarded second-class merit, 390 people were awarded first-class merit, and 15 people were awarded special merit.
In the morning of early winter, the air was very fresh, and bursts of earthy fragrance from the farmland penetrated into the nose, awakening the Red Army soldiers who were sobbing and suffering just now. The residents of Jingwu Prefecture who got up early gathered in a circle to watch.
I don’t understand the mood of the old Red Army soldiers, but it feels really fresh to see the soldiers lining up and coming forward to receive awards and wearing red flowers. Soldiers also wear red flowers. This is a rare thing only in which dynasty and generation.
Ah. However, no one is stupid. The villagers know that this Red Army unit has won a great victory, and they are now appraising their merits!
15 cadres and soldiers who were honored with special merit came up to receive the award. They are: Wang Tongsheng, the sniper platoon leader who first wounded the enemy's 48th Brigade Commander Liu Jiren in the Xiaoshui ambush, and Li, the sniper platoon leader who wounded the enemy's division commander Zhang Liangji in the Xiaoshui ambush.
In the Battle of Buffalo and Xikou, the enemy's 63rd Division Commander Chen Guangzhong and the Chief of Staff's sniper platoon soldiers Wang Shangwu and Liu Bin were killed. The battle of Xikou decisively started with 50 men, and Hu Laohu, the cavalry company commander who blocked the first shot, pretended to be an enemy radio station and lured the enemy into an ambush.
Radio station director He Xinghua and operator Lu Wen used a platoon to harass the enemy's Wang Yuying brigade's third battalion, seventh company and first platoon leader Qi Fengnian. In the initial battle, Xiaoshui took advantage of the heavy machine gun firepower of the heavy machine gun battalion's first company and first platoon leader Long Huwa and the second platoon.
Changlonghuzi, Yang Degui, the mortar operator of the fourth battalion fire support company who hit the enemy's mortar position with one shot when Tao Guang's troops were annihilated in the Battle of Xikou. The first mortar company of the artillery battalion played a key role in defeating the enemy when Tao Guang's troops were annihilated in the Battle of Xikou.
Second platoon leader Zhang Chenglin, Xiaoshui, and Xikou battles, used a rifle to kill 17 soldiers of the first battalion and one company with one rifle. Bai Dagui, Xiaoshui, and Xikou battles. In the battle, a light machine gun of the third battalion and seventh company of the second platoon and one squadron of machine gunners was killed.
Cheng Ningwang, Wang Chunming, squad leader of the 1st Platoon of the 2nd Battalion, 6th Company, 3rd Platoon, was the first to rush onto the road in Xiaoshui.
Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong dazzled the heroes who were awarded special merit with honors and flowers!
Soldiers from several guard platoons held ribbons and red flowers cut from red cloth, and certificates of meritorious service followed behind the regiment leader and political commissar. Liu Yimin handed the certificates of meritorious service to the soldiers who had performed meritorious service, and then turned around and took them from the soldiers in the guard squad.
Li took the red flower as big as a bowl and put it squarely on the chest of the soldier who had done meritorious service. Cai Zhong then draped the red ribbon on the body of the soldier who had done meritorious service. Then, Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong took a step back together, saluted, and shook hands with the soldier.
They shouted in unison: "It is glorious to make meritorious service!" Almost every soldier who made meritorious service had tears in his eyes and replied loudly: "The Red Army will win!"
This time, for all the Red Army soldiers, including the old Red Army and the new Red Army, it was a real shock to the soul! It is glorious to make meritorious service, and the most glorious thing is to make great achievements! Especially the new soldiers, seeing Yang Degui and Bai Dagui, who were also new soldiers, accept
The head of the regiment and the political commissar are wearing red and wearing flowers, and the huge waves in the heart are shouting wave after wave, the enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, I also want to make meritorious deeds, make great achievements, I also want to be the head of the regiment, and the political commissar is wearing red and wearing flowers
flower!
After the commendation ceremony, it was the founding ceremony of the Central Guard Division.
Cai Zhong first read out the order of the Central Guard Military Commission on the establishment of the Central Guard Division. Liu Yimin was appointed as the commander of the Central Guard Division and secretary of the Party Committee. Cai Zhong was appointed as political commissar and deputy secretary of the Party Committee. Liu Jianli was appointed as member of the Party Committee and chief of staff. Li Qing was appointed as member of the Party Committee and director of the Political Department.
Wu Zheng is appointed as member of the party committee and director of the logistics department.
Then, Cai Zhong read out the Red Army General Political Department’s announcement on the formation and appointment of cadres of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Guard Regiments under the jurisdiction of the Central Guard Division: The 1st, 4th, and 6th Battalions of the original 18th Red Regiment were organized into the 1st Guard Regiment.
He serves as the regiment leader, Hong Chaoyuan serves as the political commissar, and Lei Ming serves as the chief of staff; the original 2nd, 5th, and 7th battalions of the 18th Red Regiment were organized into the 2nd Guard Regiment, with Zhang Hongtao as the regiment leader, Zhao Shan as the political commissar, and Li Yimo as the chief of staff; the original Red Tenth Regiment
The Third Battalion of the Eighth Regiment, the Eighth Battalion, and the Ninth Battalion were organized into the Third Guard Regiment, with Chen Dayong as the regiment commander, Chen Dazhong as the political commissar, and Shi Ran as the chief of staff.
After the order was read out, each unit lined up again in the new order and performed the flag presentation ceremony.
Just listen to the host Li Qing shouting: "The flag-presenting ceremony for the establishment of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has begun. The flag-giver is Liu Yimin, commander of the Central Guard Division. The flag-receiver is Gao Yuan, the commander of the First Guard Regiment. Please take over the flag from the First Guard Regiment."
"
Plateau, Hong Chaoyuan, Lei Ming came out, walked to Liu Yimin, stood in front of Liu Yimin, and saluted. Liu Yimin unfolded the red flag in his hand, and saw a golden five-pointed star embroidered in the upper left corner of the red flag, next to it was the word "August 1st", and in the middle was "Guard"
Below "One Regiment" are the characters "Invincible in attack, invincible in battle", and in the lower right corner is the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army on December 15, 1934.
Liu Yimin handed the flag to Gao Yuan and shouted loudly: "Where the people are and the flag is, it will be passed down forever!"
Gao Yuan took the flag in his hand, let it flutter in the wind with a whoop, and shouted loudly: "The people are here and the flag is here, and the flag will be passed down forever! Thank you, Master!" Then he walked towards a group of troops holding the flag with his head held high.
The flags given to the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment are the same as those of the First Regiment. The difference is that the flag of the Second Regiment is embroidered with the words "Strong and unyielding, victorious in every battle", while the flag of the Third Regiment is embroidered with "Both offensive and defensive, powerful and courageous".
.
After the flag-giving ceremony, Liu Yimin, the new commander of the Central Guard Division, delivered a brief speech, which later generations of military historians called the Jingwuzhou Oath: "Today, the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established. This is the result of Chairman Mao and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.
Vice Chairman Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu’s affirmation of the military exploits of the 18th Red Regiment represents their supreme trust in us. The future task of the Central Guard Division is to defeat all enemies, defend the Party Central Committee to the death, and defend Chairman Mao! Carry the workers’ and peasants’ revolution to the end
, drive away all invaders, eliminate all reactionaries, and strive to build a prosperous, strong, civilized, and harmonious New China!"
Amid the applause of the soldiers, the founding ceremony of the Central Guard Division ended.
When later military historians commented on this festival, they said this: "On December 15, 1934, during the Long March, the founding ceremony of the Central Guard Division was held in Jingwu Prefecture. It was grand and enthusiastic, and played a role in uniting people's hearts and boosting morale.
, created a new approach to the ideological and political work of our army. Since then, the Central Guard Division has integrated old Red Army soldiers and new soldiers into one. This department later developed and expanded into a Red Army regiment-level unit, a first-level military region during the Anti-Japanese War, and a first-level military region during the Liberation War.
Millions of lions have laid a solid foundation. It is truly an act of phoenix nirvana."
