As the commander of the *** Division, Liu Hua, after a month of continuous fighting, returned to the base area and did not have enough time to rest. Because the reorganization and training of the troops were all waiting for him. Returning to the base area,
After just one day and one night's rest, Liu Hua came to the headquarters and began to work intensely.
Since this battle basically captured the equipment of a Japanese division, it was enough for the Japanese division to re-equip as a whole and reorganize a division of troops. Therefore, as soon as he entered the headquarters, Liu Hua began to get busy.
.The reorganization of the troops and the change of uniforms were all overwhelming on Liu Hua's shoulders.
Finally, after study by the division party committee and approval from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the Yan'an Military Commission, it was decided to reorganize the division's security regiment into a three-regiment security brigade. At the same time, the three subordinate military divisions were added to the establishment of three regiments, and each military division was
The establishment of the six regiments is divided into the first regiment, the second regiment, the third regiment, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment.
After reorganization, the entire *** division has a total of 24 infantry regiments, a teaching regiment, an engineer regiment, a cavalry regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, three mountain artillery regiments, an air defense battalion, and three *** cavalry battalions...
.Total strength is more than 60,000.
At this time, the total number of regular troops in the entire *** division was only more than 22,000. Even if the new soldiers recruited by Liu Hong in Taiyuan were included, the number was less than 30,000. There was a shortage of 30,000 troops. However,
, Fortunately, at this time, the *** division controlled more than 40 counties and cities, with a population of more than 8 million people. Among these 8 million people, it was not very difficult to recruit 30,000 new soldiers.
What's more important is that there are tens of thousands of troops in the entire base area alone in the militia organizations and local garrison groups.
In this way, within a week after the order was issued, all the 30,000 men who were lacking in the army were recruited. Moreover, these 30,000 men were all militiamen or garrison troops who had undergone basic training. It can be said that as long as they are equipped with
With enough good weapons and equipment and a little training, they will become a powerful force.
With the soldiers, the next step is to distribute weapons. In order to facilitate the supply of ammunition to the troops in the future, and also to unify the equipment of the entire army, Liu Hua boldly eliminated about one brigade of domestic weapons and replaced all the equipment of the entire army with Japanese ones.
However, what reassures Liu Hua and Deng Ran is that since the Anti-Japanese War, the *** Division has fought several major battles in succession, all of which were annihilation battles. Therefore, the various Japanese weapons stored in the Logistics Department are enough
Equip all troops.
After reorganization and refitting, the *** Division is a brand-new ordinary infantry regiment, which has a regiment headquarters, a mortar company, a heavy machine gun company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, a communications platoon, and three infantry
Battalion. The total strength of the whole regiment is 2,000, including 1,200 Type 38 rifles, 36 light machine guns, 9 heavy machine guns, 9 mortars, and a radio station.
At the same time, the division's heavy artillery regiment is equipped with a 12-gun 150mm heavy artillery battalion, a 12-gun 105mm heavy artillery battalion, a 12-gun 75mm field artillery battalion, and a 300-person supply battalion. The whole regiment has a total of 36 heavy artillery pieces. Under each division
The artillery regiment under its jurisdiction includes a 6-gun 37mm rapid-fire artillery battalion, a 12-gun 70mm infantry artillery battalion, a 12-gun 75mm mountain artillery battalion, a 6-gun 75mm field artillery battalion, and a 300-person supply battalion, with a total of 36 guns each.
Plant artillery.
It can be said that, looking at the entire Central Army of the Communist Party of China, although the equipment of the *** Division is not as good as that of the direct troops of the Central Army of the Communist Party of China, it can definitely be regarded as a first-class equipped unit.
As time passed day by day, the tens of thousands of newly reorganized troops had slowly got on track under the leadership of their respective commanders and began to conduct various tactical training. Guan Xiangying, the political commissar of the *** division,
After almost a year of hard work, I fell ill and fell into bed again.
When the political commissar of the *** division fell ill, not only the members of the *** division party committee were very anxious, but even the Party Central Committee far away in Yan'an was also very concerned. After some exchanges with Liu Hua, the Party Central Committee finally agreed
In response to Liu Hua's request, the political commissar Guan Xiangying was transferred back to Yan'an for rest and reorganization. At the same time, a new political commissar was dispatched to take over Guan Xiangying's position.
Finally, under constant urging from the Party Central Committee, political commissar Guan Xiangying, accompanied by the farewell of all cadres at regiment level and above in the *** division, left the army where he had stayed for three full years. Of course, following the political commissar to Yan'an
Not only was there a guard regiment to escort the troops, but more importantly, there was also 10 million oceans and 450 kilograms of gold that Liu Hua was going to hand over to the central government, as well as a large amount of medicines that were urgently needed by the Party Central Committee.
After seven days of marching, the entire escort team was finally welcomed by the Yan'an garrison, crossed the Yellow River, and entered Shaanxi. After another almost two days of rapid march, they finally arrived in Yan'an, the seat of the Party Central Committee.
However, when Bruce Lee and his party were about to arrive at the gate of Yan'an City, the group of people who had been waiting at the gate of the city shocked Bruce Lee. Because, standing prominently at the gate of the city were the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and Ye
The Chief of General Staff, and all the big guys in the central government...
"Mine...there are so many people..." Seeing so many big guys coming towards him, Bruce Lee's head almost seemed to be short-circuited, and he stood there blankly.
"Commander Li, the chairman is waiting for you in front, hurry up and go..." Seeing Bruce Lee in a daze, a commander of the accompanying Yan'an Garrison Division quickly reminded him.
"Ah...well, comrades, speed up the march. The chairman and the commander-in-chief will personally greet us at the city gate? Comrades, cheer me up. Let the chairman and the commander-in-chief take a look at the guards of our *** division.
The style of the brigade..." Bruce Lee couldn't help but blush after reacting. He turned to face the 2,000 soldiers behind him and ordered loudly.
The distance was less than two miles and took less than a few minutes to complete. Soon, Bruce Lee took Huang Zhengqing, the leader of the first regiment of the Guard Brigade, and ran to the chairman.
"Reporting to all commanders, Bruce Lee, commander of the *** Division Guard Brigade, has been ordered to report..." Seeing the big bosses in front of him, Bruce Lee quickly saluted and replied loudly.
"Well, the young man is good. He is the commander of the security brigade at such a young age. Come on, take me to see your political commissar." Seeing the young and steady face in front of him, the chairman nodded secretly and patted Bruce Lee on the shoulder.
, said with a smile.
"Yes, Chairman. Leaders, please... the political commissar is on the carriage behind the team..." Under the leadership of Bruce Lee, the group quickly arrived at the carriage.
"Ah... Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Ye... Why are you here... *** Division Political Commissar Guan Xiangying should report to you..." Seeing the familiar faces in front of you, lying on the carriage, you were filled with excitement.
Guan Xiangying, whose face turned pale, couldn't help but feel excited. He wanted to sit up from the carriage and salute several people.
"Comrade Xiang Ying, stop saluting. You look like you are so sick. Although the revolution is important, you must remember that the body is the capital of the revolution. You must take care of your body. Let's go back to the city together, let us Red Army
The hospital director will give you a good look." Seeing Guan Xiangying who wanted to salute, the chairman quickly helped him lie down.
"Comrade Bruce Lee, let's enter the city right away..." the chairman turned to Bruce Lee and ordered next to him.
"Chairman, there is a batch of very important supplies here. The division commander asked me to deliver them to you personally..." For reasons of confidentiality, Liu Hua did not report the seizure of a large amount of property in the city through the radio
. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of escorting the political commissar back to Yan'an and sent this property directly to Yan'an.
"Well, what kind of treasure is there? It's kept so secret and yet it needs to be handed over to me personally." After hearing what Bruce Lee said, the chairman said with a smile.
"Report to the Chairman, this is an order given to me personally by the division commander. This batch of materials can only be handed over to you if you see the Chairman. Otherwise, the mission will not be completed..." After listening to the Chairman's words, Bruce Lee said again.
"Okay, show me what kind of treasure it is that makes our Master Liu so cautious." Seeing Bruce Lee with a serious face, the chairman nodded and said.
"Yes, Chairman." With that, Bruce Lee took out an intact envelope from his pocket and handed it into the hands of the Chairman. The Chairman took the envelope with a trace of body heat and saw on the envelope "Personally signed by the Chairman."
"After four words, his face became serious. He opened the envelope, took out a thin piece of paper, and began to read it seriously.
The contents of the entire envelope were very brief, with only a few lines of characters and a series of running numbers. The chairman took less than half a minute to read all the contents. However, to everyone's surprise, after reading
There was no change in the expression of the chairman who contained the contents of the envelope.
"Brigadier Li, immediately put your group on guard within a radius of one kilometer. Boss, Boss Ye, Ke Long, Jia Xiang, and Luo Fu will stay. The remaining people will return to the city and return to their jobs immediately.
Go up." The chairman slowly folded the letters in his hand and shouted loudly to Bruce Lee and a group of big guys behind him.
"Yes, Chairman... One regiment and one battalion will be on guard within one kilometer of the surrounding area. The second and third battalions will protect the supplies and start taking action immediately." After receiving the chairman's order, Bruce Lee ordered loudly without any hesitation.
.Soon, a battalion of fully armed soldiers marched out. With the chairman as the center, they quickly formed a circle within a radius of one kilometer.
Although the other leaders following the chairman wanted to know the specific content of the letter, for disciplinary reasons, they quickly withdrew from the encirclement formed by the guard group, leaving only a few central officials who the chairman asked to stay.
lead.
"***, what happened? Is it so serious?" Seeing the serious face of the chairman, the commander-in-chief quickly asked.
"Haha, boss, don't worry, it's a good thing, not a bad thing. It was Comrade Liu Hua who gave us a gift. Kelong, you are the God of Wealth of our Red Army. Liu Hua did you a big favor this time...
"Seeing the anxious look of the Commander-in-Chief, the Chairman quickly said with a smile. At the same time, he handed the letter in his hand to Li Kelong who was beside him.
"Ah...this, Chairman, this is true..." Out of curiosity, Li Kelong took the letter from the Chairman's hand and quickly opened it. If you don't know, you will be shocked when you see it.
"Haha, don't ask me about this. You should ask Brigadier Lee, Bruce Lee in front of us..." the chairman said with a smile.
"Reporting to the Chairman, all the chiefs, all the supplies are in the team, including a total of 10 million yuan, 450 kilograms of gold, 3,458 pieces of various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and two tons of various medicines. Please check and accept the chiefs." I saw the chairman stealing over.
With a questioning look, Bruce Lee quickly answered.
"What, 10 million, and 450 kilograms of gold..." After hearing Bruce Lee's answer, several people exclaimed at the same time. You know, the entire Red Army, and even party organizations around the world, have all the funds combined.
Not so many.
"Yes, sirs. All these finances were confiscated from the homes of traitors and Japanese expatriates in the city after we occupied Taiyuan. Following the order of the division commander, all these finances are now handed over to the Party Central Committee as a party
Military expenditures from the central government." Bruce Lee replied loudly.
"Okay, great. With this batch of funds, our party will no longer have to worry about funding for at least two years. Great..." Li Kelong couldn't help but wonder when he saw the dozens of big boxes in front of him.
His eyes were shining and he said excitedly.
"Comrade Bruce Lee, please keep this batch of supplies and help us transport them to the Military Commission Headquarters for handover." Looking at the excited Li Kelong, the chairman said with a smile.
"Yes, Chairman, leaders, the security brigade promises to complete its mission."
In the following time, it took the Guard Brigade a full half-day to transfer this batch of financial secrets to the central government. At the same time, the two tons of medicines brought by the Guard Brigade were also transferred to the Red Army General Hospital.
Chang smiled and took them all away. Of course, after completing the mission, it was impossible for the two thousand-strong guard regiment to be stationed in the small Yan'an City. Under the arrangement of the guard headquarters, the guard brigade regiment was arranged in a dilapidated place.
inside the barracks.
From this moment on, the 1st Guard Brigade Regiment began their three-day life in Yan'an. However, the Guard Regiment attracted the attention of all troops in Yan'an from the first day of training. Because, their training,
Not only is there cross-country training that is rare for the Eighth Route Army, but more importantly, there is also live-fire training that is almost non-existent in the Eighth Route Army.
Looking at the countless bullets fired by the guard regiment on the first day of training, Captain Wang of the Yan'an Guard Regiment, who was stationed less than one kilometer away from the guard brigade station, finally couldn't stand it anymore and took several guards to the first guard regiment.
Training venue. At this time, the entire regiment was training on various tactical movements under the command of their respective commanders. The brigade commander Bruce Lee and the regiment commander Huang Zhengqing were shuttling back and forth between the various companies, inspecting
Training progress of various units.
"Report to the brigade commander, Commander Wang of the Yan'an Garrison Regiment is here and is waiting for you at the brigade headquarters." Just as Bruce Lee was instructing a soldier on his tactical movements, the brigade headquarters correspondent came to him and reported loudly.
"Um, is it Captain Wang who greeted us the day before yesterday? Did he tell you what happened?" Upon hearing the captain of the security regiment, Bruce Lee was curious and then asked.
"Yes, brigade commander, but I don't know what it is?" The correspondent nodded.
"Okay, we'll go back to the brigade headquarters right away..." Bruce Lee nodded and quickly walked towards the brigade headquarters not far away.
"Brigadier Li, you are back..." Seeing Bruce Lee walking into the headquarters, Commander Wang quickly stood up and said.
"Captain Wang, it's you...Is there something urgent..." Seeing Commander Wang, Bruce Lee quickly asked.
"Haha, Brigadier Li, it's actually nothing. I just want to ask you for help with something, and I'm embarrassed to say it..." As he said that, Commander Wang smiled sheepishly.
"Captain Wang, if you have any questions, just say it. We are all the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is one family. How can a family not help each other?" Seeing the hesitant Commander Wang, Bruce Lee said quickly.
"Okay, since Brigadier Li has spoken, I, Lao Wang, won't be like this today. Brigadier Li, it's like this. Although our security regiment is all equipped with Japanese equipment reinforced by the front line, after all, the front line
The war is important, so although each soldier has a rifle, the average number of bullets is less than five rounds. If the Party Central Committee is attacked by the enemy, just a magazine in the hands of the soldiers will not be able to stop it for long. Yesterday
I saw that the guard brigade fired a lot of bullets in a single live-fire shooting. I wanted to ask the guard brigade to support us with some ammunition..." Commander Wang of the guard regiment said sheepishly.
"Ah, I almost forgot one thing..." After listening to Commander Wang's words, Bruce Lee slapped his head fiercely. Because, before he set off, the division commander specifically stated that Yan'an was in the enemy's territory.
Among them, there was a lack of various supplies. The guard brigade was required to reinforce the Yan'an garrison with some weapons and equipment as much as possible after arriving in Yan'an. For this purpose, the guard brigade specially carried several bases of extra ammunition.
"Commander Li, what did you forget..." Captain Wang asked curiously when he saw Bruce Lee's appearance.
"Haha, Commander Wang, the division commander specifically explained this matter before I set off. In order to ensure the safety of the Party Central Committee, we must reinforce the Yan'an Garrison Regiment with weapons and equipment as much as possible. In this way, Commander Wang, for the sake of the Garrison Regiment
In order to better protect the security of the Party Central Committee, I decided to support the security regiment with 9 heavy machine guns and 9 mortars with corresponding six base ammunition. In addition, there are 300,000 rounds of rifle bullets. When the time comes, I will let
The soldiers were sent to the garrison station in person." Upon hearing Commander Wang's question, Bruce Lee replied with a smile.
