I usually ask everyone to get more familiar with the military and political organizational structure of the Kuomintang, and I also give everyone a few copies of the organizational laws of the Kuomintang ministries that I brought from Wuhan to circulate, but many comrades are unwilling to read them, thinking that the enemy's things are reactionary.
, only things created by oneself and those of the Soviet Red Army are correct. This is very bad. Others
Not to mention, let’s just say that the new recruit training method we implement now is also derived from the infantry drill of the Kuomintang army. Let’s not say that stones from other mountains can attack jade, but only know the enemy and know yourself and predict the enemy’s opportunities.
We should fully understand all aspects of the Kuomintang's military and political affairs, which will be beneficial to our work and not contrary to the Bolshevik position."
Wan Tao, who had just returned from Shanghai to receive political training from the Central Committee, is no longer what he used to be. Not only does he still serve as deputy secretary of the Xiangxi Party Committee, he also has the additional position of Central Supervisor. His status in the Second Red Army is only lower than that of He Huzi.
He was so merciless when being congratulated by his beard
The scolding in front of him made his face suddenly turn red, and several other military-level leaders also shut up in embarrassment. After carefully studying He Huzi's words, they all felt that they were justified. However, in the face of the spirit of the central government's new internal rectification document, no one could
I dare not openly agree with He Huzhu’s views.
Zhou Yiqun waved his hand and chuckled to break the awkward atmosphere: "I remember Director Zhou said something in Huangpu that people like An Yi can be fought for. Director Zhou also said this before the Nanchang Uprising.
When Comrade Wan Tao went to the Central Committee for further study, didn't he convey Director Zhou's opinions when he came back?
The Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory under An Yi has never cut off the drug purchase channels in our Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi base areas. The 44th Xiangxi Army who wears the same pants as An Yi is more open-minded.
They can sell us medicines that are in short supply, and they can also sell us weapons and ammunition that are in short supply. If not for the large number of people affected by the disaster who moved to western and northern Hunan this time, maybe they would even sell us grain and new military biscuits.
Because of this, we did not have a bigger conflict with the 44th Army, and the Yin Jinan 16th Division in the Yichang area never had a red face with us. This shows that the central leadership comrades have a vision, and we should also use it.
This is an opportunity to learn more about our opponents and make the best preparations for future armed struggles!
Now I have a question that I would like to submit to the party committee for discussion. Based on the current situation in western Hubei, I feel that it is probably the Kuomintang army that is preparing for the next important military operation. It first cleans up internally and then goes all-out externally. This is what Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the reactionaries, often plays.
The conspiracy methods cannot but attract our attention."
Duan Dechang echoed loudly: "I agree with Secretary Zhou's opinion. According to the information we received, except for one of Tang Shengzhi's eight divisions who fled to Yan Xishan's territory, Liu Xing, Gong Hao, Feng Huatang, An Juncai, Gong Zifan Suo
Under the tight encirclement of the two legions and eleven divisions of the Kuomintang Central Army, they all surrendered. The melee between the Kuomintang warlords in the Hubei, Henan, Shandong and Anhui areas temporarily came to an end.
However, the enemy's military encirclement and suppression in areas such as Hunan and Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong increased the input of troops. If it were not for the two main divisions of the Kuomintang's Central Army under the command of Zhu Shaoliang's Sixth Route Army, they participated in the Guangdong-Guangxi warlord war and cooperated with Guangdong.
Chen Jitang from Hunan and He Jian from Hunan together besieged Guangxi warlord Li Zongren. Maybe many of our base areas will be under heavy siege by the enemy.
Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the newly established An Yi Fifth Army is probably coming for us. An Yi seems to be a gentle and kind person, but in fact, his methods are ruthless and cunning. From the examples of his rising through the ranks, This can be seen in the article. I also found that this person has a very significant characteristic, that is, he does not move. Once he moves, he moves quickly and is full of tricks. He often uses some unconventional tactics and various deceptions. means to achieve its purpose quickly and effectively.
In addition, there is another issue that deserves our attention. An Yi's 16th Division of Yin Jinan, the newly established 44th Division of Gu Changfeng, and each division of the 44th Army of Western Hunan all have well-equipped and powerful mountainous areas. Brigade, this new type of combat unit first appeared in the independent division, the ace unit of the Kuomintang Central Army. Practice has proved that this new type of combat unit is very suitable for the requirements of mountain operations. We must be more vigilant!
If An Yi, after completing the purge of the entire western Hubei, western Hunan, and northern Hunan theaters, suddenly directs various armies to attack Sichuan and Hubei and Hunan and Hubei from three directions, we are likely to face unprecedented pressure."
Everyone took it seriously upon hearing this, and after intense discussions, they all believed that there was a great possibility. At present, the melee in Hubei, Henan, Shandong, and Anhui has ended, and Chiang Kai-shek has stepped up the encirclement and suppression of various Red Army base areas. An Yi's Fifth Army Corps is probably using illusions to confuse the Red Army in the Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan base areas. Once he completes military preparations such as internal purges, he is likely to use his usual methods to launch a large-scale and violent attack on the Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan Red Army base areas. attack.
After the discussion reached a consensus, He Huzi asked Duan Dechang humbly: "Dechang, as the name suggests, the mountain brigade is a force used for mountain operations, but I am not very clear about the organization, command system, firepower configuration, and combat methods of this force. Can you tell everyone about the specific situation?"
Duan Dechang shook his head with some regret: "This is indeed a new type of mountain combat unit. I also heard it introduced by a German instructor when I was studying in Huangpu. Unfortunately, the instructor did not teach the training methods and composition knowledge of the mountain unit. None of us learned it. From the analysis of the intelligence on the garrison in western Hunan that we have obtained over the past few months, An Yi may have already grasped it, otherwise he would not have established such brigade-level mountain troops in each division under his command.
Just take the mountain brigade of the 1st Division taught by Zhang Hongluan’s 44th Army as an example. Most of the officers and soldiers are recruited from mountain people and bandits in western Hunan. The number of officers and soldiers in the entire brigade is about 5,000 in four regiments. Each regiment is equipped with a mortar. Artillery, a cannon battalion of light and heavy machine guns and an engineer company that built bridges through mountains. The specific number of weapons and equipment is unknown. With the help of new training and various new equipment, they can travel hundreds of miles a day at full load in complex mountainous terrain.
Through our reconnaissance and visits to fellow mountain villagers in various parts of western Hunan, we found that the mountain troops who often go deep into the mountains of western Hunan for training are almost all equipped with uniform camouflage uniforms and steel helmets. Judging from the shoe prints left behind, they all wear new combat rubber shoes. It is equipped with new machine guns produced by Nanchang Arsenal on a large scale, and its marching speed is definitely not slower than any of ours. I speculate that its combat effectiveness is not comparable to ours."
After listening to Duan Dechang's analysis, everyone was deeply worried. The mountain brigade of the 44th Army of Western Hunan alone was more numerous than the entire army. If An Yi transferred Yin Jinan's 16th Division and Gu Changfeng's 44th Division, Joining the encirclement and suppression, his poorly equipped soldiers had no choice but to avoid their sharp edges. Due to the emergence of this new type of mountain troops and the Kuomintang army's familiarity with the terrain in western Hunan, the weather and location were not advantageous. The only advantage he had was one person and one person. .
The girl's smooth and beautiful face was full of worries. After groaning for a while, she stood up and decided to return to Yichang again.
Shop, continue to start revolutionary work, and provide as many information and help to the Red Army of the Hunan and Hubei Sichuan.
