In the evening, Liu Hua, the political commissar, returned to the temporary station arranged by the central government. At the same time, the plan for the reorganization and garrison of the troops was also in hand. In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops and enrich the combatants of the troops, the central government decided to compress the entire Red Second Front Army into a corps.
General He served as the commander of the army, and Liu Hua's Seventh Army was reduced to a division of the army to garrison the Garze area and defend the south of northern Shaanxi to prevent the Northeast Army captured by the national army from launching a sneak attack on the Red Army.
Seeing that he was given a division commander in front of him, although he was demoted, Liu Hua was not unhappy at all. Instead, he smiled secretly. You must know that if you are given a division commander now, he would be a brigade commander during the Anti-Japanese War, and he will be a brigade commander during the liberation in the future.
He became a lieutenant general. If he had not developed his skills during several counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns by the local people during the Anti-Japanese War, he might have become a general in the future. How could Liu Hua not be secretly happy?
The next day, he discussed the reorganization plan with the political commissar and submitted the final list of cadres to the General Political Department for record. Liu Hua took the political commissar and others back to the station for reorganization and troop training. He must do it before the troops go to the anti-Japanese battlefield, right?
Conduct targeted training to enable the troops to show their power on the anti-Japanese battlefield...
Now Liu Hua can be said to have a strong army. Although there are still about 8,000 soldiers, every soldier has fought all the way and is an elite who has been baptized on the battlefield. The commander of the first regiment is Sun Xingbang, the political commissar Zhao Dahe, and the commander of the second regiment is Gaoyuan political commissar Chen Dazhong.
, the third regiment commander Wang Nanhu, the political commissar Chen Revolution, the new regiment has the cadre structure of a regiment, the regiment commander He Tie, the political commissar Peng Qing, the artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion were merged into a heavy firepower regiment, the regiment commander Chen Guangrong, the political commissar Zhu Ping, the baggage
Battalion Commander Li Xiaowu, reconnaissance battalion, guard battalion, sniper company...
Such a division-level unit is unique in the entire army.
In the temporary conference room of the Seventh Army Corps (now the 13th Division), Liu Hua, political commissar Guan Xiangying, and chief of staff Li Qing announced the reorganization plan. As soon as the political commissar finished speaking, the cadres below were in chaos. After all, they were demoted for no reason.
I have lost my job, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Comrades, I know you have all been demoted, and I have been demoted, but why are you unconvinced? When we broke out from the Xiangjiang River, who cared about this? Now that we are in northern Shaanxi, you ask
Let me ask, how many cadres are idle now, and now you are arguing like this just because you have been demoted, are you still soldiers under me, Liu Hua!" Liu Hua's last words were almost shouted.
The noisy conference room suddenly became quiet. Liu Hua continued: "Comrades, now we can be said to be the division with the best equipment and the largest number of personnel in the entire Red Army. I am happy to be able to lead such a division. Think about it.
, now we have established a base area, and now, the Japanese have already occupied the three northeastern provinces and are preparing to invade the whole of China. Comrades, don’t be surprised, this will definitely happen, and it will happen soon, when the time comes
The war of resistance has begun. I believe that when the time comes, our Red Army will also march to the battlefield. What we will face then is the Japanese devils who are armed to the teeth. If we compare with them, we will suffer big losses, so you must be the fastest.
Within a certain period of time, the reorganization of the troops will be completed, and then in addition to leaving certain troops on guard, all the remaining troops will undergo major training. The troops must be trained into elite soldiers in the shortest possible time. In particular, the troops' hand-to-hand combat must be strengthened, and the troops' automatic
Firepower equipment, especially shell guns...
The next day, the entire 13th Division began a military-wide reorganization. Many cadres quarreled over a company commander and a squad leader, especially those cadres from the Fourth Front Army. Political Commissar Liu Hua and Chief of Staff watched the excitement.
The troops laughed, these people are all warriors. At the same time, Liu Hua also fulfilled his duty during the breakout and formed a teaching team. Through his military knowledge and understanding of the Japanese army in later generations, he learned about the soldiers.
We and cadres were consulted, hoping that in the near future on the anti-Japanese battlefield, this knowledge could penetrate into the hearts of everyone. Similarly, Liu Hua also knew that these troops would definitely expand to a certain extent in the future anti-Japanese battlefield.
It will definitely work.
The troops were reorganized for a day. Similarly, Liu Hua's teaching team was also formed. The first batch of training was for all platoon commanders and company commanders. The next day, Liu Hua handed over matters in the division to the political commissar and chief of staff.
After holding it in hand, he took the teaching team to the mountains around Thread and began to explain to them future tactics and the situation of the Japanese army...
In this way, half a year has passed. After several months of training, the combat effectiveness of the 13th Division has skyrocketed. Almost all cadres in the division have undergone a round of training. At the same time, the soldiers who have completed the training have handed over tactics to
The soldiers are all familiar with the Japanese combat equipment and have formulated relevant tactics for training...
In the middle, history still developed in the same way as before. Zhang Xueliang launched the Xi'an Incident, and finally successfully resolved the incident with the help of Ding Dang. At the same time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also entered the conference room in order to cope with the future national war of resistance.
Discussions began about the all-out war of resistance. According to the history that Liu Hua knew, the problem of the Red Army's troop establishment should have been solved now. Seeing that the July 7th Incident was getting closer and closer, Liu Hua became more and more excited...
"Division Commander, there is a call from the Central Committee, requesting that all affairs of the army be handed over to the Chief of Staff, and asking us to have the Central Committee hold a meeting tomorrow." Political Commissar Guan Xiangying ran over.
"What is supposed to come has finally come!" Liu Hua said to himself.
"What's coming...Sir, what did you say?" the political commissar asked, looking at Liu Hua who was talking to himself.
"Um, it's nothing. Let's go to the conference room and call the chief of staff." Liu Hua replied excitedly.
"There is a problem..." The political commissar had been in contact with Liu Hua for a long time. He was already used to Liu Hua's frequent dazes. Without asking any more questions, he asked the guard next to him to call the chief of staff and followed Liu Hua into the conference room.
After a while, Chief of Staff Li Qing ran into the conference room covered in dust. "Chief of Staff, what have you been doing? You are sweating profusely because you are not very tired. Come on, have a drink of water." Liu Hua handed over a cup that had just arrived.
of boiling water.
"It's nothing important. I just went to each regiment to check on the training status of the troops, and by the way, I made statistics on the ammunition reserves of the entire division," Chief of Staff Li Qing said immediately after taking a sip of water.
After listening to the words of the Chief of Staff, Liu Hua immediately pricked up his ears. You must know that since the reorganization of the army, Liu Hua has restrained himself from leading the teaching team and did not care much about the wrong ammunition reserves. Now he is going to the battlefield, and the ammunition is restricted.
It is an important factor in the army. "So what is the situation of the army's ammunition now?" Liu Hua asked quickly.
"Division commander, political commissar, I did some statistics, and it's okay. Due to our reserves in western Hunan at that time, each soldier now has 50 rounds of bullets and 5 grenades. At the same time, after constant battles, there are now 12 mountain cannons, and the shells are
There are about 150 rounds for each gun, 62 mortars in total, about 220 rounds for each artillery shell, 83 heavy machine guns with more than 4,000 rounds for each bullet, and 3 to 5 light machine guns for each company.
There are about 150 in total, that's all," the chief of staff waved his hand. "Well, also, the division headquarters' supply camp also stores 800,000 rounds of ammunition, 12,000 grenades, and a large amount of food, that's all.
That’s it.” After saying that, he spread his hands.
"There are so many. You must know that this is unique in the whole army. I really didn't go to the regiment commanders first and left so many good things." The political commissar sighed.
"Haha, political commissar, don't get too happy too early. Look, we will definitely bleed during this meeting." Liu Hua said with a smile.
"What's the bleeding? Please explain clearly." The two of them looked at Liu Hua at the same time. Liu Hua smiled and said nothing.
