Liu Yimin and Director Cai Zhong immediately led the vanguard company and the 18th Red Regiment to organize.
In addition to the seriously wounded, the 18th Regiment has a total of 521 people, including minor casualties. Since encountering the Red 34th Division, it has been under protection, and the wounded have also received preliminary treatment. The soldiers ate dry food while marching, which kept their spirits and morale high.
There has been a certain recovery. Liu Yimin knows that these are extremely loyal elite soldiers who have fought in many battles and are the key to the future development of the army.
As long as you successfully lead them out of the Long March, they will become the backbone and heroes on the battlefields of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. If they are well trained and well educated, everyone may become an intermediate, or even
Senior officer Liu Yimin is determined to organize his troops according to the model of training officers from now on.
After counting the number of people, including the Jianbing Company and Director Cai Zhong, the whole regiment has a total of 634 people. The battalion-level organization has been temporarily canceled and organized into 5 combat companies, including a fire support platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, an interdiction platoon, a guard squad, and a communications platoon directly under the regiment headquarters.
Class, cooking class.
The fire support platoon has 36 people, including one platoon leader and two deputy platoon leaders. Since the captured mortars belong to the 34th Red Division, the fire support platoon is temporarily equipped with 6 heavy machine guns and three fire squads, each with 11
There are one squad leader and two deputy squad leaders, equipped with two heavy machine guns, and two heavy machine gun teams. The deputy squad leader also serves as the team leader. Due to the small number of people, the task of carrying heavy machine gun ammunition is borne by the combat company.
The guard class, communications class and combat class have the same setup. The reconnaissance class and sniper platoon are trained as special forces by Liu Yimin, which requires marksmanship, physical fitness, and education, so selection is difficult. The reconnaissance platoon only has 13 people, and the sniper platoon has only 13 people.
22 people. The smallest one is the cooking team, which has only 3 people, because there are not so many soldiers willing to work for the time being.
Each combat company has 108 people, including one company commander, two deputy company commanders, one instructor, two deputy instructors, one clerk, and one correspondent. There are three combat platoons and one fire support squad. The fire support squad is 10
One person, one squad leader and one deputy squad leader, equipped with four
It is a Czech-style light machine gun. Each machine gun is equipped with a shooter and an assistant shooter; each platoon has 30 people, one platoon leader and two deputy platoon leaders. The platoon has three combat squads, each with 9 people, one squad leader and two deputy squad leaders.
Name. There are three combat groups in each squad. The team leaders are the squad leader and the deputy squad leader concurrently.
Company, platoon, and squad cadres are appointed through the selection method of soldiers. Soldiers select squad leaders, deputy squad leaders, and squad leaders. Deputy squad leaders select platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders, and platoon-level cadres select company-level cadres.
It takes a long time to say this, but in fact it is very fast. The soldiers are all stupid, and corpses are crawling out of the sea of blood. Everyone knows who has combat experience, command ability, and rescue comrades, so it only took half a day.
The grouping was completed in an hour.
The first company is dominated by the former leading platoon company, with company commander Wang Dahu, instructor Wang Xinyun, deputy company commanders Shen Nantang and Li Yunlai, deputy instructors Chen Dongsheng and Zhang Shan, and several former squad leaders of the leading platoon, Li Dashan, Liu Shizhu and Luo Yan, all promoted

Director Cai Zhong quietly asked Liu Yimin: "Is this okay? Our Red Army cadres are all appointed by superiors. Doesn't it go against the party's policy to let the soldiers choose?"
Liu Yimin smiled and said to him: "No problem, I have read the mimeographed newspapers of the Red Army. This is not our initiative. When the Red Army started to go to Jinggangshan, Comrade Mao Zedong approved of doing it this way. To be honest, doing this will improve the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army."
All high."
Director Cai Zhong asked again: "Do you also know Chairman Mao?"
Liu Yimin said: "Of course, many people across the country know that he is the founder of the Red Army and the great savior of the Chinese people."
Later, I don't know how this sentence spread. People in northern Shaanxi also wrote this sentence into "The East is Red", which became famous throughout China.
Half an hour later, Liu Yimin rushed to the ferry with the reorganized Eighteenth Red Regiment and waited to cross the river.
At this time, it was completely dark, and it was impossible for enemy planes to appear. The soldiers of the 101st Regiment of the 34th Red Division had already waded across the Xiangjiang River. The soldiers of the 102nd Regiment also followed Liu Yimin's idea and pulled up two men with leggings.
A rope, the soldiers lit torches and were wading across the river while pulling the rope.
Political Commissar Cheng Cuilin also made arrangements for the wounded to cross the river. The division troops were setting up simple stretchers and preparing to carry the wounded across the river. A cadre from the division political department and a dozen soldiers were bringing together the scattered Red Army soldiers at the ferry.
We gathered together, but it seemed that the effect was not great. There were piles in the east and west, but no queue was formed yet.
In the distance, I could vaguely see a torch-bearing team rushing towards the ferry. Needless to say, they must be the enemy troops chasing after them. Time waits for no one, Liu Yimin ordered Wang Dahu to immediately lead a company to attack the Red Army skirmishers.
Assemble. After the team was assembled, when I asked about the situation, I found out that most of them were from the Eighth Red Army Corps, with more than 2,400 people. They were pursued by the Zhou Hunyuan Department of the Central Army. When the International Division of the Young Communist Party crossed the river, they ran across the river as a whole team.
Yes, who knew that after the Eighth Red Army retreated, they swarmed across the river and blocked more than 400 people from the International Division of the Shao Communist Party. As a result, the pontoon bridge was blown up. The pursuit troops of the Hunan Army arrived, and more than 400 people from the International Division of the Shao Communist Party rose up to stop it.
, some of them were sacrificed, and now there are only more than 300 people. If it weren't for these little red devils, more than 2,000 skirmishers of the Eighth Army might have been captured by the Hunan Army long ago. There are also some sporadic soldiers of the Red Sixth Division and other units.
Liu Yimin knew that the Eighth Red Army Corps, like the Ninth Red Army Corps, was a new force formed by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission's red expansion policy before the Long March. The main force of the Red Eighth Army Corps was the Central Guard Division, which was originally responsible for the security of central agencies. In Bogu, Li De
In the eyes of others, it is a treasure. But in fact, the Central Guard Division rarely experienced battles, and its combat effectiveness was not very strong. After the expansion, there were too many new soldiers. Many of the new soldiers were farmers in the Soviet area who had just laid down their hoes, and had basically no training.
, nothing to talk about at all
combat effectiveness. In addition, at the beginning of the Long March, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission blindly blocked the news. The Red Army soldiers did not know where the troops were going and where they would be home. Many new soldiers were unwilling to leave the Soviet area, and some were pessimistic and disappointed about the future.
lead to breakthrough
Deserters appeared during the first three blockades. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, many new soldiers fled. Historically, the Gui Army claimed to have captured 7,000 Red Army soldiers. Some were wounded, and some were captured after running out of ammunition and food, but most of them escaped from the battle.
New warrior.
When the four blockades were broken through in the early days of the Long March, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission probably knew that the Eighth Red Army Corps was not very effective, so it arranged the Eighth Red Army Corps in the middle of the marching sequence. The First Red Army Corps was on the right wing of the forward, followed by the 9th Red Army Corps; the Third Red Army Corps was on the left
, the Eighth Red Army Corps followed; in the middle was the central column; and the rear guard was the Fifth Red Army Corps. This formation was vividly compared to a sedan-carrying formation by Mr. Peng.
Historically, during the Battle of Xiangjiang River, more than 10,000 members of the Eighth Red Army were attacked by two regiments of the Central Army, and the troops were scattered. Luo Ronghuan, director of the political department of the army, had only one soldier carrying a mimeograph machine with him after crossing the river; Zhou Kun, the commander of the army, had only one soldier with him after crossing the river.
3 soldiers. The entire Eighth Army Corps had only 1,000 people who crossed the Xiangjiang River, and more than 200 combat personnel, most of whom were logistics personnel. In the end, it was revoked and incorporated into the Fifth Red Army Corps.
In fact, the main reason why the Red Army suffered such heavy losses in the Xiangjiang Battle was that Li De and Bogu had wrong strategic thinking and the slow movement of the central column. But it was also related to the poor combat effectiveness of the newly formed troops. Among the several legions, the Eighth Red Army suffered the greatest losses, almost
Complete
The army was annihilated. Different from the huge losses of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Red Army Corps, the soldiers of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Army Corps fell facing the enemy's guns. It was tragic, tragic and extremely glorious; but the losses of the newly formed troops were mainly
It comes from the fact that the combat effectiveness is not strong and the enemy is defeated.
In the past, propaganda mainly promoted the invincible battles of our army, and rarely publicized the defeated battles. In particular, our army also had the problem of deserters, which could be said to be kept secret. For example, the Battle of Xiangjiang, the disastrous defeat of the West Route Army, the Battle of Kinmen, etc., were in the 1980s
by
It was only later that ordinary people gradually understood it. As for the issue of deserters in our army, it has rarely been mentioned in history books. In fact, the reason why our army has become a lion in hundreds of battles is that it has been tempered by countless wars, similar to the issue of deserters.
Wait, there is no need to say anything.
Think about the heroic spirit of the Red Army pioneers, the First Red Army and the Third Red Army, who marched forward to defeat all enemies. Think about the tragic feat in real history of the Red Army's iron-clad defenders, the Red Fifth Army and the 34th Division, who fought until the last drop of blood was shed. Let's take a look.
The remnants of the Eighth Red Army were defeated, and Liu Yimin felt sad:
Such a unit has lost its combat effectiveness and its morale has been depleted. Only by reorganizing its organization and relying on the leadership of powerful cadres can it regain its combat effectiveness. I remember once reading the novel "The Legend of Iron Blood: The Long March" written by the brave Yang on the Internet, and there is a story on the bank of the Xiangjiang River
You can borrow the plot of reorganizing the troops.
Thinking of this, Liu Yimin stood in front of the team and shouted loudly: "Now, as the acting commander of the 18th Regiment of the 6th Red Division, I am ordered by the head of the 34th Red Division to reorganize you. Who is dissatisfied?"
The team was silent. Liu Yimin scanned it with his eyes, and when he saw the effect, he shouted: "I declare battlefield discipline: Anyone who disobeys orders, kill! Anyone who escapes from the battle, kill! Anyone who panics, kill! Fire support platoon leader Wang Runqing!"
Wang Runqing took a step forward and shouted, "We're here!"
Liu Yimin ordered: "I order you to serve as the law enforcement captain, and anyone who violates battlefield discipline will be shot!"
Wang Runqing saluted and shouted: "Resolutely execute the order!" He turned around and shouted: "The entire fire support platoon is here, machine guns ready!"
Seeing the muzzles of six heavy machine guns in the black hole in front of them, the team suddenly became silent.
