It took more than three years from 19331October 28th to1August 935 when it was reorganized into the Red 32nd Army. In order to defend the Central Soviet Area and cover the Long March of the Red Army, he made great achievements.
I have served as the head of the regiment, the head of the combat section of the regiment headquarters and the chief of staff of the division. In the fifth "encirclement and suppression" against the enemy and many battles on the north bank of Wujiang River, I was injured three times. I am one of the few survivors.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/933, shortly after the establishment of Hong Jiu Legion, our 7th Regiment was ordered to drive from Ruijin to Qianshan Village between Guangchang and Jianning, Fujian, to build fortifications based on Wuyishan, and prepare to block the enemy of Nanchang.
There are more than 1000 people in our group. It is a very arduous task to repair three fortifications with a width of five kilometers with the other two regiments in a short time. In addition, the local mountains are steep, the trees are covered, and it is rainy season, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the construction.
However, in order to defend the red revolutionary base area, everyone was not afraid of fatigue, digging mountains and repairing trenches day and night, cutting down trees and building castles, and the three lines of defense were completed as scheduled. I still remember that when Commander-in-Chief Zhu sent the head comrades of the Corps of Engineers to the completion and acceptance of the project, he expressed satisfaction with the quality of the project.
In September this year, Chiang Kai-shek, on the advice of military advisers from Germany, Italy and the United States, mobilized 500,000 troops to "encircle and encircle" the Central Soviet Area.
Under the wrong command of Bo Gu Kailai and Li De, the Red Army carried out the so-called "short assault" and "all-round war of resistance". As a result, all the troops of Hong Jiu Legion entered the position and launched a head-on confrontation with the enemy.
Every day, the enemy has dozens of planes bombing our fortifications in turn, and dozens of mountain guns and wild guns on the ground keep pouring shells at our positions. Our fortifications are not reinforced concrete, nor are they connected by barbed wire. How can we resist the enemy's indiscriminate bombing?
Many fortifications were blown down, and some were buried by mud and gravel raised by bombs. Our army can only fight without fortifications.
As soon as the enemy's artillery fire stopped, its law enforcement team urged the soldiers who were afraid of death to overflow their positions like sheep and came at me. On the phone, I once again issued an order to the third battalion commander: no one can shoot until the enemy reaches the killing distance of my Grenade.
The enemy is getting closer and closer to our position. When only a few tens of meters away from us, the battalions launched fire attacks one after another, and the dead and wounded enemies fell down one after another.
On one occasion, Comrade Liu Ang, the battalion commander of our 3rd Battalion, personally led a company out of the trench, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy and killed dozens of people.
The enemy's charge and our counter-charge are repeated about six or seven times to eleven or two times a day. After each charge, there are always thirty or forty or fifty or sixty enemy bodies lying at the front of our position.
After dark, the enemy did not dare to move out, so we repaired the fortifications, walked out of the bunker, collected the guns and ammunition left by the enemy, and replenished the urgent needs in time. After seven days and seven nights, I received a phone call from Comrade Luo Binghui, the head of this unit, at the command post. He ordered our regiment to quietly withdraw from its position after nightfall and quickly return to Jianning, the main base area, for standby.
Our regiment's steel position was defended by a regiment of the Third Corps led by Comrade Peng. This is the first hard battle since the establishment of the Ninth Army.
1933 1 1 On 26th, Chen and others, the generals of the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintang, signed an armistice agreement with the Red Army of the Central Soviet Area, established the "Fujian People's Government", and publicly broke with Chiang Kai-shek.
However, this government was quickly strangled in the cradle by Chiang Kai-shek. Later, Chiang Kai-shek adopted a step-by-step bunker tactic to encroach on our central Soviet area.
In order to save the nation from peril and reverse the passive situation that the Red Army has been trapped in the narrow world at the foot of Wuyishan for a long time, the CPC Central Committee made a decision in July: the Red Seven Army Corps led by Xun Huaizhou and Comrade Le formed an anti-Japanese advance team to go north to fight against Japan, and ordered the Hong Jiu Army Corps to escort the Seventh Army across Wuyishan Mountain, across Shaxi and Youxi River basins in central Fujian and reach the east bank of Minjiang River. This move is called "Oriental Activity".
In order to escort the Seventh Army Corps to cross the river smoothly, the Corps mobilized cadres above platoon level. In the battle orders issued by the legion, I was appointed as an avant-garde by the Red Seven Regiment. After I exchanged views with Comrade Zhang Zhenfeng, the political commissar of the regiment, I immediately conveyed the orders of the Corps Department to the officers and men of the regiment.
We have made corresponding preparations for the situation that the enemy is about to enter the white area. If we consider that it is unlikely to meet a large number of assembled enemies on the way forward, landlords and armed militia can meet them almost anywhere.
In order to deal with these stumbling blocks, we dressed the reconnaissance platoon from head to toe, dressed completely like the Central Army. We deployed this platoon at the forefront of the troops, not only to find out all kinds of situations for the follow-up troops, but also to take action with cameras, and to swallow up a small group of enemies without firing a shot.
In mid-July, when our regiment left the base area and entered Shawutang, the largest market town east of Haokou, our reconnaissance platoon met a militia squad leader. Comrade Chen Shengbao, the platoon leader, said to him, "The Central Military Region Brigade is behind, so you should assemble your team quickly. Our commander should give you a lecture and be fully armed when assembling, but for the safety of the commander, no one is allowed to put bullets in the gun. "
The little leader immediately executed, and soon gathered more than 80 nominal police.
At this time, platoon leader Chen made a decisive decision, commanded the whole platoon of soldiers to hand over the enemy's guns quickly, and announced to them: "We are the Red Army, and we have come to the north to resist Japan. Anyone who is an enemy of the Red Army is a traitor and will be treated as a traitor. "
After listening to platoon leader Chen's words, these vigilante members were dumbfounded with fear and said in unison: Never be an enemy of the Red Army.
Our group started from Ninghua, crossed the clean stream and passed Artemisia? , Shawutang, Hu Da, Yikou, Xinqiao, Youxi, Zhanghuban by the Minjiang River. In the distance of more than 600 miles, except for the enemy shooting at me when pretending to attack Yong 'an City, most of them adopted the tactics of Comrade Chen Shengbao, and flexibly removed the stumbling block on the way forward.
After the seventh army successfully crossed the Minjiang River, the ninth army returned from the original road. When our army turned around and returned to Li, it seized more than 400 boxes of gunpowder and 670,000 Jin of salt from Lu Xingbang, the warlord leader in western Fujian. These two materials are scarce in the Central Soviet Area.
At that time, our arsenal, because there was no such gunpowder, made short-range bullets with weak penetration, and because the enemy imposed an economic blockade on me, it cost a piece of silver to buy one or two salts, so the Military Commission ordered our army to transport the spoils back to the Central Soviet Area.
Due to the grim situation of the enemy, our army could not take the main road when returning to Lebanon, and all kinds of vehicles could not be used. So all the commanders and fighters have to shoulder heavy burdens, from the head to the monitor, with an average weight of more than 50 kilograms per person.
The road is long, the sun is hot and the summer is bitter. However, in the six or seven hundred miles of bad luck, no one left behind and no one complained. 1000000 kilograms of gunpowder and salt were all shipped back to the Central Soviet Area, which won the reputation of being able to suffer and endure great pain for the Hong Jiu Legion.
1At the beginning of September, 1934, after completing the task of escorting the Seventh Army to cross the river and transporting100000 kilograms of gunpowder and salt for the Central Soviet Area, our army entered Liancheng study room east of Changting.
Ten days or so, we began to build fortifications to prevent the enemy of the eastern front from invading Changting and Ruijin, and built 30 Li of traffic trenches and bunkers.
Soon, the enemy also began to build fortifications and bunkers on the opposite mountain in front of me. Both sides could see each other's activities, but neither was within the effective range of the rifle, and no one fired blindly.
One day, Luo Binghui, the head of the army, called my regiment command post. He said: "In front of your seventh regiment, the enemy has a prominent part, and about a company is standing guard there. They have just set up a tent and are going to build a bunker there. How about a surprise attack before the enemy stands firm? "
I said to the head of the army, "Good! Our group is willing to undertake a surprise mission. "
The head of the Luo Binghui Army then said in a commanding tone: "Order your regiment to send a battalion to kill the prominent part of the enemy tonight!"
Put the phone down, I called Song Li, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, to my command post, explained to him the task of attacking the enemy at night, and studied the combat methods with Comrade Song Li. According to our plan, the officers and men of the whole battalion set out lightly, each with five grenades.
After the dead of night, the officers and men of our second battalion set out quietly, slowly descended the mountain, detoured to the left rear of the enemy, and gradually completed the encirclement on three sides.
At one o'clock in the morning, only one shot was heard. More than 300 steel athletes rushed to the vicinity of the enemy tent with lightning speed. Hundreds of grenades exploded simultaneously. Some enemies ran out of the tent naked before getting dressed. 120 many enemies were killed, and besides 15 people were captured, more than a dozen escaped.
The battle lasted only ten minutes without any casualties. I quickly returned to my position and was praised by the head of the legion. Soon, Song Li was promoted to be the deputy head of the seventh regiment where I was.
However, after that, the battlefield situation has changed a lot. After several days of fighting with the enemy, our regiment found that the enemy invested more and more offensive forces, the number of charges increased day by day, and our casualties increased day by day.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, the enemy threw a regiment in front of me and charged our position. Some of them have rushed 300 meters away from our position, and the situation is quite critical.
At this point, the head of the army called and ordered me to personally take a battalion to carry out counter-charge. I immediately led all the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion, mounted bayonets, jumped out of the trenches, and under the cover of the 1st and 3rd Battalions, rushed over from the enemy's left.
The enemy was in a mess at once, and the gunfire from both sides stopped together. Only bayonets collided and shouted. After a few minutes of fighting, the enemy left more than 100 bodies and fled to the position. Suddenly, gunfire and gunfire rang out from the positions of the enemy and ourselves. An enemy shell exploded near me, and two centimeters of shrapnel hit my waist. I fell to the ground and was carried back to my position by my comrades.
Because the shrapnel hit deep in the waist, the medic couldn't handle it, so I had to leave the battlefield temporarily. After I left, our Ninth Army Corps and the First Army Corps continued to fight against the enemy for about ten days, annihilating a brigade of more than 2,000 people, and gaining time and cover for the Central Military Commission and the Central Red Army to leave Ruijin and start the Long March.
After I was seriously injured in the battle of the study, Comrade Zhang Ruguang, a doctor from the Ministry of Health of the Ninth Army, operated on me and took out the enemy's shells from my waist. In those days, it was the moment when the Central Committee, the Red Army Corps and the Third Army Corps withdrew from the Soviet area and began the Long March.
Although the Long March was not expected at that time, due to the defeat of a series of battles such as Lichuan and Guangchang, everyone had a premonition that there would be a "big move" one day.
On the way from the study to Ruijin, I saw that there were more than 100 wounded people in the Ministry of Health of the Ninth Army, and there were 70 or 80 seriously injured people lying on a stretcher like me. There are enemy planes patrolling in the sky, and guns are heard in the distance. Everyone can feel the seriousness of the situation. It seems that unexpected things will happen at any time, and everyone's mood is very heavy.
After arriving in Ruijin, our Ministry of Health lived in a big village more than ten miles away from Ruijin. Two days later, comrades from the Corps, Cai, Guo, Huang and others came to express their condolences to us.
The head of Luo Binghui's army said goodbye to the wounded in a big house. I lay in the small room next door and listened to him say to the wounded, "You have sacrificed your blood for the people and made great contributions. You should have let your comrades have a good sleep and rest quietly, but Chiang Kai-shek, the son of a bitch, just wouldn't let us recover. In order to smash the enemy's fifth "encirclement and suppression", our army will leave here to fight. If the injured comrades can't move with the troops, they will stay temporarily, and the Soviet government will take care of you. When they are well, they can return to their original troops or join the local Red Army. I hope comrades can rest in peace and wait for the news of our victory. Goodbye, comrades! "
Although I was lying alone in another small room next door, I could hear clearly what happened in the big room next door.
After listening to the leader's speech, no one applauded and no one asked the leader questions. I can't see if anyone is crying, but I can totally imagine the affection of the injured.
I thought to myself: from June 1929 to now, I have fought a fierce battle for five years and sacrificed many close comrades. I finally managed to get the title of Central Soviet Area. But today, I can't even keep this title, because I have to stay because of serious injuries. I can imagine the fate of staying. Once caught by the enemy, I can only resign myself to fate.
Thought of here, my heart ached. However, in order not to make the colonel sad, and not to increase the ideological burden on other wounded people, I pressed my sadness to my heart and looked forward to seeing the colonel for the last time.
Sure enough, Luo, Cai, Guo and Huang left the big house and came to my hut. They brought me four cans and whispered to me, "We're taking you away. I hope you will recover soon and return to work. "
God, this sudden good news immediately made me happy. However, the thought that there are so many wounded and comrades who can't walk and fight has forced them to March behind my back. This guilty pain tortured me for more than a month, until my security forces passed the enemy's second blockade, and I got off the stretcher. But at this time, my health was still unable to return to work in the combat troops, so I had to stay at the headquarters as a combat soldier for the time being.
The Ninth Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps, as the flank guards and defenders of the main force of the Central Red Army's Long March, mainly dealt with the Kuomintang columns Zhou Hunyuan and Wu Qiwei, which have been chasing our army, with about 670,000 people.
This is Chiang Kai-shek's own army, well-staffed and well-equipped. Since our army left Ruijin, it has been following our army like two wolves, posing a great threat to me.
The main ways for us and the Fifth Army Corps to deal with these two wolves are: to slow down the enemy's marching speed by destroying bridges, highways and cutting wires; When encountering favorable terrain, he stopped to give him a head-on blow, and used sports defense tactics to contain the enemy, so that the enemy always fell behind my guard troops during the 200-kilometer journey of our army crossing the first, second and third blockade lines until our army reached the east bank of Xiangjiang River and the county town of Guangxi.
Chiang Kai-shek's 400,000 troops blocked the front and pursued hard. The columns of Zhou and Wu finally caught up with my fifth and ninth legions.
In order to cover the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the Red Army's main force to break through the fourth blockade, the Ninth Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps launched a life-and-death battle with the enemy and fought bloody battles on the east bank of Xiangjiang River for six or seven days. Despite heavy sacrifices, they finally completed the task of covering the crossing of the river by the Central Military Commission and the brothers.
After the central government entered Zunyi City, the Ninth Army Corps of our army was ordered to enter Meitan and Suiyang in the northeast of Zunyi to rest. At this time, my wounds have all healed, and I asked the head of the regiment to return to work in the seventh regiment.
Luo Jun, the head of the regiment, said to me, "Comrade Feng succeeded you as the head of the seventh regiment. Don't go back to the seventh regiment to be the head of the ninth regiment!" So I went to the ninth regiment and partnered with Comrade Jiang Qihua, the political commissar of the regiment.
After Zunyi meeting, we didn't know the importance of this meeting for some time. I only heard that I was going to cross the river to meet the fourth army in northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi. Everyone is very happy to hear this news, hoping to arrive at the rich "land of abundance" as soon as possible, and everyone can put on decent cotton-padded clothes. After that, there was a series of running and fighting, crossing the Chishui River again and again.
1In mid-March, 935, the Red Army came to southern Sichuan for the second time. When Chiang Kai-shek was playing chess again, our regiment held a meeting of cadres at or above the company level to sum up operational experience and lessons.
Huang Tong, director of the Political Department of the Legion, formally conveyed to us the contents of the Zunyi Conference and the direction of our army. At that time, he also proposed "crossing the Yangtze River in the north and joining forces with the Fourth Army". However, the blockade of the Yangtze River by the Sichuan army is getting stricter and stricter, and the Yunnan-Guizhou army is sandwiched between the east and the west and cannot cross the Yangtze River in the north.
On March 20th, the main force of the Red Army, under the cover of our Ninth Army Corps, suddenly crossed the Chishui River from Taipingduqiao, took the sand area directly, and crossed the Wujiang River overnight.
Due to various reasons, Hong Jiu Legion failed to reach Wujiang River at the time planned by the Military Commission. In order to break the road of chasing the enemy, the bridge guards have dismantled the pontoon bridge on the river according to the original plan of the Military Commission.
In this way, the Ninth Army Corps was blocked on the north bank of the Wujiang River and became a "fixed detachment" independent of the western Guizhou region.
Like a child who lost his mother, we set up a radio station and cried all night: "Red Star!" " ""Red Star! (code name of the Central Military Commission) "I hope to get in touch with the Military Commission.
While looking for the main force of the Central Red Army, we are engaged in sports warfare. Soon, the Laomudong in Jinsha County was like a tiger pouncing on a sheep, eating a third of the seven regiments of Guizhou warlord You Guo, annihilating more than 2,000 people, capturing more than 1,800 enemies alive, seizing more than 1,000 guns, capturing two of their leaders alive, and successively annihilating reactionary places such as Chang Yan and Piaoerjing.
The sudden appearance of this left-behind tiger made the enemy panic, disrupted Chiang Kai-shek's plan to concentrate all his troops to catch up with the main force of the Red Army, and had to disperse a large part of his troops to deal with the Hong Jiu Army left behind on the north bank of the Wujiang River.
Regarding this historical battle, Comrade Guo, the former chief of staff of the Legion, once recalled: "The Legion left the main force and was alone for more than two months and fought thousands of miles. In this long-distance battle, thanks to the correct leadership of the Communist Youth League Party Committee, the heroic tenacity of all the commanders and soldiers and the enthusiastic support of the masses, our regiment successfully completed the glorious task of covering the Central Military Commission and the main force. "
Until May 1935, Hong Jiu Legion finally crossed Jinsha River from the west of Huize, Yunnan, joined forces with the main force of the Central Red Army, and arrived at Maogong in mid-June.
