Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Three days have passed since Zhou Weihan presided over the reorganization meeting of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.

The more than 5000 recruits who needed to be added to the regiments had all assembled in the newly built camps near the military area. Zhou Weihan ordered Zhou Weiguo to lead several combat staff officers to contact the regiments.

Therefore, after only three days, the main regiments and independent regiments quickly reached full strength as required.

Before the reorganization, the recruits had already been organized according to the infantry company's organization. The combat backbones selected from the main regiment served as cadres at all levels of the infantry company. Outstanding fighters among the recruits could serve as deputy squad leaders, squad leaders, and deputy platoon leaders.

After the reorganization, the deputies of the main regiments were transferred to the independent regiments to serve as military and political officers at all levels.

The vigorous reorganization of the troops of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region once again made Tan Lin sigh with emotion that not only the combat effectiveness of each main regiment is strong, but the potential of reserve cadres is also top-notch among the various departments of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, let me tell you that when I was in the Tainan Military Region, I always focused on cultivating talents, and I never stopped in terms of cultural learning. Before the establishment of the Tainan Cadre School, the military region established a cadre training class. , Cadres at all levels take turns to force them to come and study!"

"Otherwise, how could the current situation be like this? When the troops of the Tainan Military Region were reorganized, the main regiments had already transferred a group of cadres to the core regiments. Now this is the second time!" Zhou Weihan said proudly. .

Take Jing Dagang's First Regiment as an example, the First Regiment is a model regiment in the Tainan Military Region. Since the reorganization of the Tainan Military Region, the First Regiment has not recruited a large number of recruits for a long time.

The proportion of veterans in a regiment has always remained above 95%. What is this concept?
In terms of the combat quality of a regiment of soldiers, even an ordinary veteran transferred to the backbone regiment is enough to serve as a squad leader.

"To put it bluntly, when a regiment is fully formed, use the regiment as a pretext to expand into a division, and add all the existing more than 5000 recruits to the regiment. With the old foundation of the regiment, it can also maintain a good reputation. Combat power." Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Haha, Lao Zhou, what you said is that before the reorganization of the Red Army, the numbers of the troops were mixed. There were even a few troops with division-level designations that numbered at most a thousand people. Later, the Nationalist Government gave the designations of three divisions. At that time, it gave the chiefs a headache!"

"In desperation, the units of the Red Army could only select elites and mix them into three divisions, and almost formed the left-behind troops. The 129th Division was formed by the joint formation of the Red Fourth Front Army and the Northern Shaanxi Red Army!"

"A large number of cadres were left in the government agencies, attached schools, or teaching brigades. Some cadres with strong military command ability served in the army. Even so, many capable cadres can only be subservient to deputy positions. The battalion commander is not bad, and if a division-level cadre can be the head of the main regiment, it proves that he has made many meritorious deeds before the adaptation!" Tan Lin said with emotion.

"After crossing the Yellow River to the east, our Eighth Route Army quickly expanded, all relying on the old foundation left over from the Long March of the Red Army period. Some cadres pulled out a regiment based on a company of old Red Army, not a few!"

"That's for sure. After all, the elite survived many bloody battles, climbed snow-capped mountains, and crossed grasslands!" Zhou Weihan affirmed.

Under the big waves washing the sand, those who survived are extremely strong both physically and mentally, and they are also blessed by luck.

"By the way, I heard Li Yunlong mention it back then. He seemed to be the battalion commander or deputy commander of the 386th Brigade Supplementary Regiment? I don't remember exactly!" Zhou Weihan said, intentionally or unintentionally bringing the topic to Li Yunlong body.

"Hey, Comrade Li Yunlong is a very experienced comrade. The seniority of going up and down from the position of regimental leader is not something that ordinary comrades can experience!" Tan Lin said half-jokingly.

"Have you heard of Li Yunlong before you came to Jiluyu?"

"Have you forgotten what I was doing before?"

Tan Lin belonged to the First Red Army, and Li Yunlong belonged to the Fourth Red Army, but after the Red Army joined forces in northern Shaanxi, Tan Lin served as the head of the Organization Department of the Political Department of the Red Army.

"When joining forces with the Fourth Front Army, the Fourth Front Army suddenly went south. At that time, the communication equipment was outdated. Perhaps the communicator failed to contact Li Yunlong's regiment. After Li Yunlong found out, his regiment had already left the main force!"

"At that time, it was a coincidence that the Li Yunlong regiment was stationed near my Red First Army. I was the director of the Political Department of the Red First Army, and Lin was the head of the army. I picked up a regiment for no reason. Who can be unhappy? In this way, the Li Yunlong regiment was incorporated into the establishment of the Red First Army."

Zhou Weihan immediately became interested when he heard this. He had never heard Li Yunlong talk about this before, and asked immediately: "Then according to what you said, Li Yunlong suddenly changed from the Red Fourth Front Army to the Red Front Army. Later, he Why did you follow the West Expedition?"

After Tan Lin heard this, he glanced at Zhou Weihan meaningfully and said, "Hmph, when it comes to war, Li Yunlong is a talent, but when it comes to politics, his brain is like a jerk!"

"Later, Li Yunlong led his troops to make a lot of contributions. Such a tiger general won Lin's love, but Li Yunlong's regiment is also a well-known main force in the Fourth Front Army. The leading cadres of the Fourth Front Army applied to their superiors to transfer Li Yunlong's regiment back!"

"At that time, I had already been transferred to the political department in the rear. Lin had no choice but to find me and asked me to give me an idea. What I meant was to keep Li Yunlong under the pretext of allowing him to study at the Red Army's Anti-Japanese University, so that the troops under his command could be transferred back. Four Front Army!"

"But Li Yunlong, a stunned young man, didn't want to go to the Anti-Japanese University to study. He had to stay in the army. In the end, both sides exchanged a regiment. Li Yunlong's regiment returned to the Fourth Front Army, and Ding Wei's regiment was transferred to the First Front Army! "

"You will know what happened later!" Tan Lin finally said.

"Oh, so it is like this!" Zhou Weihan nodded with deep satisfaction, and suddenly felt that it was really good to have such a qualified partner as Tan Lin.

Tan Lin had previously worked in the Political Department and was familiar with the files of cadres at all levels of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, because of the work of the Political Department, he had dealt with many cadres in the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. Having such a partner just made up for Zhou Weihan's lack of.

"That is to say, Li Yunlong is indeed a senior and capable comrade, and he was wronged by letting him be the head of the regiment!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Didn't I meet you, a good superior, and promoted Li Yunlong to an official position, but after getting in touch with him during this period of time, Li Yunlong gave me the feeling that the change from before is really not small!"

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and we work together again. I almost suspect that this is still Li Yunlong?" Tan Lin said in amazement.
