The Red Army Corps then occupied Yonghe City east of Liuyang on August 23rd 1930.
On the way to Yonghe City, a man who looked like a Red Army officer was hurriedly taken to the headquarters of the Legion.
Mao Zedong and Zhu De were very happy when they saw him. It turned out to be Yuan, director of the General Political Department of the Third Army Corps.
"Oh, comrade ping! Long time no see, what brings you here? " Hold Yuan's hand warmly.
Zhu De,, and Yang also shook hands and greeted Yuan.
"I came to contact you on the orders of Peng and Teng." Yuan Di was very windy. He was sweating profusely and almost soaked. He said, "When we retreated from Changsha to Longevity Street, we received a letter from Wanzai County Committee, saying that your troops had marched from Wanzai to Liuyang. Commander Peng asked me to contact you day and night. I walked around and stayed all night until I found you! "
"Hard work, hard work! Take a break and drink water first! " Zhu De had Yuan called.
Moments later, Yuan Xiang and Zhu De reported in detail the establishment of the Red Sanjuntuan, as well as the situation of conquering and withdrawing from Changsha; Yang, director of the Political Department of the Red Army Corps, reported to Yuan about the bull demonstrations and the city battles.
From shaking hands with Zhu De and others, they realized that Peng and Teng led the Red Fifth Army back to Jinggangshan and recovered the Hunan-Jiangxi border base area.
Then he attacked the border of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, successively conquered Anfu, Xinyu, Fenyi, Yichun, Wanzai and Tonggu, and arrived in Longevity Street and Pingjiang, Hunan in April 1930. In May, ports such as Pingjiang, Xiushui, Wuning, Dazhi and Huangshi were conquered. In late June, the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission was held in Liu, at the junction of Yangxin and Xinjiang.
According to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's decision, the army and the newly established Gongba Army and Gong16th Army were co-edited as the Gongsanjuntuan, with Peng as the commander-in-chief and secretary of the front committee, Teng as the political commissar, chief of staff and Yuan as the director of the political department.
The commander of the army under its jurisdiction is Peng (later) and the political commissar is Teng (later); He Changgong, commander of Gongba Army, and Deng, political commissar; Kong Hechong, commander of the Sixteenth Red Army, and Yu Zhaolong, political commissar. The whole army has more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 guns, and its strength has greatly increased. On July 3, the Red Sanjuntuan captured the enemy's important town of Yuezhou, cut off the traffic between Wuhan and Changsha, and gave the enemy a great shock.
On July 27th, the Red Army Corps conquered Changsha and defeated He Jian's superior enemy of more than 30,000 people, with remarkable results. The establishment of the Soviet government in Hunan Province dealt a great blow to the enemy, shook the north and south of the river and frightened Chiang Kai-shek.
On August 3rd, 1930, He Jianzhong 15 regiment troops attacked Changsha under the cover of imperialist warships of the United States, Britain and Japan. Two divisions, the Central Army and Gong, also entered Hunan from Hubei and advanced to Changsha. According to the enemy's strength, in order to preserve the strength, Peng led the Red Third Army Corps to voluntarily withdraw from Changsha and retreat.
After listening to Yuan's introduction, both Zhu De and Peng were excited and moved by the heroic and fearless spirit of the officers and men of the Red Army.
"Peng Zhen is a tiger!"
"SanJunTuan brothers played well! Hit a prestige! " Everyone present was stunned.
"Where are comrades Wilder, Dai Yuan and Nagong now?" Mao Zedong asked eagerly.
"Now Longevity Street is resting at pingkiang and is looking forward to meeting you again! You can solve the siege of Sanjuntuan in the first world war of the ancient city of Wen. Thank you! "
After thinking for a while, he whispered to Zhu De, "Comrade Guo Ping, please go back and tell Commander Peng to lead the Third Army to Yonghe to meet him."
"Ok, I'll leave right away." Yuan replied.
In the evening, Yuan He went away by car with joy. In the boundless darkness, left a clear string of hooves. ...
On August 24, 1930, Yonghe city, red flags were flying all over the sky, and the Red Army and the Red Army successfully joined forces!
Jinggangshan-Ruijin-Yonghe, the elites of the Chinese Red Army and the revolutionary base areas, galloped in Wan Li, and the Vietnam War became stronger and stronger, and once again they won together!
The yellow flowers on the battlefield are particularly fragrant, and how close the comrades are to meet again! ……
That night, the Red Army Corps and the Red Army Corps held a joint meeting with the front committees of the two armies to tell each other about their feelings of parting and discuss the direction of action with the troops after the division of the Chamber of Commerce. At the meeting, Xiang Peng proposed: "Now the two legions will join forces. After the meeting, I want the two legions to merge into one, unify into the Red Army, and set up the General Front Committee. Five, eight army organizational system, by Zhu De, Mao Zedong unified command, unified action. In this way, the prestige of the Red Army will be overwhelming. What do you think? "
Peng looked at Teng and others and asked their opinions.
"I agree. The first and third armies go hand in hand, and the combination of the two is more conducive to the revolution. " Teng Dai Yuan immediately agreed.
Yuan thoughtfully. SanJunTuan other * * * see peng, teng table state, have agreed.
Mao Zedong is so excited! Peng is frank, sincere and selfless, admirable! Mao Zedong knew that the central government planned to form a legion and a third legion. Now, Peng has offered to combine the first and third armies into one army. What a broad mind!
So he immediately said, "I agree with Comrade Dwight and most comrades. First, the Third Corps co-edited, fought side by side, formed advantages, formed synergies, and better paved the way for China's revolutionary cause! "
The joint meeting adopted Peng's proposal. The First Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army was proclaimed!
The meeting elected the General Front Committee of the Red Army. Members include, Zhu De, Peng, Teng, Lin Biao and Tan Zhenlin. Mao Zedong, Secretary of the General Front Committee, and Cooper, Secretary General.
The members of the Red Army Headquarters are:
Commander in Chief: Zhu De.
General Political Committee: Mao Zedong.
Deputy Commander: Peng
Deputy Political Commissar: Teng Daiyuan
Chief of Staff: Zhu Yunqing
Director of the General Political Department: Yang
Secretary-General: Li Zhaojiu
The Red Army has jurisdiction over the Red Third Army, the Red Fourth Army, the Red Fifth Army, the Red Eighth Army, the Red Twelfth Army, the Red Sixteen Army and the Red Twenty Army. The total strength is about 40,000 people (about 20,000 people in the first and third armed forces).
The Red Army, the mainstay of China's revolutionary war, was born!
The birth of the Red Army and shooting bullfights were a great shock to China. The Kuomintang Nanjing government was in a state of panic, and Chiang Kai-shek was on pins and needles!
As soon as the Red Army was established, under the influence of Li San's route, the Central Committee issued the instruction of "fighting Changsha again and taking Wuhan".
Will you hit Changsha? There was an argument within the leading group of the Red Army.
At the meeting, most comrades in the 1st and 3rd Corps advocated war. Yuan is the director of the political department of the Red Third Army Corps and pays attention to Changsha. He said:
"Hit Changsha again and seize Wuhan. This is an order of the central authorities, and there is no reason not to carry it out. In July, more than 10,000 Red Sanjuntuan defeated more than 30,000 He Jian and occupied Changsha City in just three days and three nights. Now the army has been established, with nearly 40 thousand people in the first and third corps. What are you afraid of? I will definitely win Changsha! "
"Yes, take Changsha and go straight to Wuhan!"
"Call Changsha!"
"Hit! Fight! "
"According to the central command!"
"We will attack Changsha and capture He Jian alive!"
……
The warring factions are very vocal and passionate, as if Changsha is already in the bag.
In the strong sound of well-documented, Mao Zedong and Zhu De were worried and listened to everyone's speeches patiently. Peng didn't reply.
However, in a well-deserved battle, high-level decision makers can't help but express their views. Mao Zedong exhaled a thick smoke, looked at Peng and asked, "Comrade Dwight, what's your opinion?"
When Peng met the commander, he hesitated and said, "Of course, the instructions of the central authorities must be carried out. But as far as the Third Corps itself is concerned, after the last bitter battle in Changsha, it is in urgent need of short-term training and consolidation. Besides, I think this fight in Changsha is different from last time. Last time our army attacked the enemy with lightning speed, the enemy was unprepared and couldn't stand it at all. There are four brigades in this pursuit. One regiment wiped out Dai Douyuan's brigade in Wenjia City. The other three brigades have returned to Changsha safely, but there is still one brigade in Changsha. Now, the enemy has made full preparations and field preparations, and our army has lost the suddenness of the attack and turned into a regular offensive battle. It is difficult to be sure whether the siege can be won quickly. "
Mao Zedong and Zhu De listened carefully to Peng's speech and showed gratified smiles. Zhu De interface said:
"Yes, Comrade Dwight is right. At present, the equipment and training of the Red Army are not suitable for conventional positional warfare! "
"If you attack hard, something may happen." Mao Zedong shook his head, grasped the crux of the problem, and made it clear: "The orders of the central authorities are not unenforceable. The key is how to implement it. It is necessary to consider whether the effect after implementation is good. "
Unexpectedly, this caused dissatisfaction among Yuan and others.
"How do you know if you don't execute it?"
"Fight, don't be afraid of anything!"
"Don't hesitate to miss the fighter!"
……
The voice of the main battle is still very high, accounting for an overwhelming majority.
No wonder what the enemy did in Changsha was so disgusting. I really want to kill these dog thieves! According to my then Red Flag Daily, "After the Red Third Army withdrew from Changsha, He Jian commanded the reactionary army and carried out a terrible massacre in Changsha. He was so anxious that he devoured everyone like a mad dog. He held a total hunting in Changsha, patrolling the city for eight days and patrolling the city for nine days. Land and water are only allowed in, not out. A total of three or four thousand people were arrested on suspicion of being red.
In this inspection, anyone who dresses up as a worker, farmer or student will be frightened when asked and will be beheaded on the spot. Killed more than two or three thousand. On the streets of Changsha, "there are countless dead bodies. The old one is not buried, and the new one lies on it. Flies are flying all over the sky and stinking. "
Saving workers and peasants from fire and water is the aim of the Red Army. Mao Zedong felt it inconvenient to stop again. So, I exchanged glances with Zhu De and Peng and said slowly, "In this case, try it!"
"Well, let's fight, and put caution behind us." Peng also suddenly got excited.
"Then be prepared to attack Changsha. Headquarters staff office, operation department and other departments to make specific arrangements. Then, advance to Changsha! " Zhu De ordered the battle.
A fierce battle is about to begin.
On August 24th, the Red Army Headquarters issued an order signed by Mao Zedong and Zhu De to March into Changsha in Yonghe City. From 25th, the main soldiers of the Red One and Three Army Corps were divided into three roads: left, middle and right, and began to advance to Changsha.
Just after the summer heat, Wan Li is clear and sunny. The autumn sun is like fire, just like an "autumn tiger". It's poisonous and spicy, and there is no wind. All the soldiers were sweating and marching in the heat.
In order to attack the enemy more effectively, the order issued on the 24 th made specific provisions on the offensive lines of various troops and made careful arrangements for possible changes in the enemy's situation.
On August 28th, the Red One and Red Three Army Corps arrived at the designated place according to the command of the headquarters. At nine o'clock in the evening, Mao Zedong and Zhu De signed an order to attack Changsha. It is pointed out: "Our army still aims to capture Changsha and destroy He Jian's troops. Determined to occupy Fengshu River, Xinqiao, Luoxiaping, Lingzhongpu and Longtoupu tomorrow, destroy the enemies in the above places and attack Changsha. " The order also specifically stipulates: "After arriving at the designated place tomorrow, all ministries will immediately prepare knives, axes and hoes, and confiscate the buffaloes of local tyrants or pay for the buffaloes of farmers to prepare for attacking obstacles on the ground of enemy lines."
The Tornado is almost ready!
At this time, the number of enemy troops on the defensive in Changsha has soared to more than 30 regiments and more than 30,000 people. The enemy forcibly demolished houses, dug trenches and built fortifications, and prepared to fight to the death. From Houshi in the south of Changsha, through Shimapu, Amiling, Yangjiashan and Wu Lifeng, to the Laodao River in the north, three lines of defense were built:
The first line of defense is the giant Abatis!
The second line of defense is covered with bamboo nails!
The third line of defense is the high-voltage power grid!
Inside the defense line, there are a group of machine gun fortresses everywhere!
At this time, it is very different from when the Red Sanjuntuan played Changsha. The enemy is fully prepared!
According to the deployment of the headquarters, the main force of our Red Army stormed and bravely killed the enemy, breaking through the enemy's first and second lines of defense in some areas. When the main force of the Red Army arrived at the gates of Changsha, the enemy held on to the fortifications for several days and could not retreat.
Our army had to wait patiently for the soldiers. By September 3, the first and second brigades, supplementary regiment, spy battalion and engineering battalion of the enemy pottery attacked from Monkey Stone. The 3rd, 4th and 2nd 12 regiments of our Red Army, after most of the enemy entered the ambush circle, surrounded them with powerful firepower, killing 7,800 people and taking prisoners 1000 people by the Xiangjiang River. This is a great victory for Changsha.
However, the victory of the Battle of Monkey Stone did not start the battle to capture Changsha City. He Jian accepted the lesson of Monkey Stone, and with the help of fortifications, he couldn't hold on. He curled up in the defense line and formed a week-long confrontation with me.
At this time, the officers and men of our army were impatient and clamored to "storm Changsha City". The military some * * * seems to be a little impatient, urging the headquarters to "storm". The red army headquarters issued the order to storm Changsha in September 10. As a result, the main force of the First and Third Army Corps began a fierce battle to storm Changsha!
In order to break through the enemy's power grid, the Red Army will confiscate hundreds of buffaloes from local tyrants and farmers, March to the power grid, tie cotton dipped in gasoline to their tails, light them and drive them to the power grid!
At that time, the flames were blazing. "Fire Bull" fled everywhere because of the pain of the fire. Regrettably, the original plan was not reached. Many cows not only failed to break through the power grid, but also were killed by intensive machine gun fire, and some even rushed back to their positions, hurting themselves and affecting the troops' own attack. ……
If one plan fails, another will be born. The Red Army also bought buckets for the masses to thresh. Each bucket was equipped with two wheels, covered with wet quilts to avoid bullets, and the Red Army soldiers pushed the buckets forward behind them. As a result, under the strong firepower of the enemy, this move has not yet worked, and many soldiers have been killed or injured.
At this point, it's really a bit of a dilemma. Changsha has been besieged for 0/6 days, and it has been besieged for several days and nights. Although the prestige of more than 30 enemy regiments was completely defeated, it had a great influence on the people of the whole country. However, the casualties of the Red Army itself are not small!
The soldiers were at a loss. The hawk seems to be aware of the adventurous elements under passion, and see the value of Mao Zedong's cautious behavior.
1930 September 12, Mao Zedong and the General Front Committee decided to withdraw from Changsha according to the situation, and issued an order to take Pingxiang, Zhuzhou and wait after withdrawing from Changsha.
A feat and spectacle in the history of the Red Army war came to an end.
Its influence on people is far-reaching. ……
