Chapter 16 Le'an Incident

In late March 1932, I was transferred to the director of the Political Department of the Second Red Division.Because I usually admire Peng Xuefeng, the political commissar of the division, for his excellent qualities such as erudite, literary and martial arts, strategizing, bravery, sincerity, and decent style. It is a special honor to be able to assist him in political work at the division headquarters.However, he was more serious about the arrogance, recklessness and roughness of the division commander Guo Bingsheng; From April to August 1932, in accordance with the instructions of the Provisional Central Committee and the spirit of the Jiangkouwei Conference in Ganxian County held by the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area in mid-March, the Red Army fought in Shangyou, Chongyi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guangdong and Jiangxi borders. Rucheng, Wenying, Nanxiong, Shuikou, Le'an, Yihuang and other places, although the commanders and fighters of the whole army fought hard, won some victories, and captured a lot of prisoners, but most of them made surprise attacks back and forth between the gaps of powerful enemies, and often paid It took a lot of money to capture a county, and it was difficult to gain a foothold after the capture.In fact, the deeper the "Left" adventurist military line controls the Red Army, the more it weakens the Red Army's combat effectiveness; in addition, July and August are the hot summer in the south, and the physical strength of cadres and soldiers is high, and malaria, dysentery and other diseases In the face of this severe fighting environment, some people with weak fighting spirit gradually lost their confidence in victory, became pessimistic, and even wavered and defected. The Le'an incident in which the division commander Guo Bingsheng defected to the enemy It's a typical example.

On August 21, after our Second Red Division and our brother troops captured Yihuang County, the enemy counterattacked on the 31st and was forced to withdraw and moved to the mountainous area between Yihuang and Le'an to rest.The division is stationed in Guancangqian Village.One day in September, division commander Guo Fansheng came back from a meeting at the regiment headquarters with a sad face and a lot of preoccupations.He said to Peng Xuefeng, the political commissar of the division: "After the defeat in Ganzhou, we have suffered consecutive defeats in the past few months. I heard that Chiang Kai-shek will organize the fourth "encirclement and suppression". We are not a problem. Alas, it seems that the revolution is over." After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Hearing Guo Bingsheng's series of discouraging words and seeing his dejected mood, Peng Xuefeng felt very unhappy, and immediately retorted straightforwardly: "What, the revolution is over? Nonsense! Revolution is like a prairie fire, the wind cannot be extinguished, and the rain cannot be poured." To destroy, to burn the landlords and gentry, to burn Chiang Kai-shek and all the reactionaries, to burn the whole old world, the revolution will never end!" Guo Bingsheng was not convinced, and said with a serious face: "Comrade Xuefeng, the revolution is not won by shouting slogans, and we can't just talk about the truth. It is really difficult to see the environment in front of us." Peng Xuefeng saw that Guo Bingsheng had not turned the corner, I also felt that my speech just now was too blunt, so I patiently stated the facts and said: "Comrade Bingsheng, we do have many difficulties before us, but compared with the Pingjiang Uprising, compared with the first, second, and third times of the "encirclement and suppression" campaign, our Isn’t the strength much stronger? In the past few months, we have attacked the city several times. Although the casualties were greater, we still captured a few counties and won the battle. How can it be said that we have suffered consecutive defeats and cannot overcome the current difficulties? Woolen cloth?"

Guo Bingsheng argued: "You must know that Chiang Kai-shek's fourth "encirclement and suppression" campaign was more powerful and more powerful than the previous ones, and the consequences would be more serious. In my opinion, we are not very sure of defeating the enemy. It’s better to follow the old method in the past and pull the team back to their hometown in Hunan to fight guerrillas.” Peng Xuefeng knew Guo Bingsheng's bad temper, and it was difficult to get over the problems he couldn't figure out for a while, so he wanted to wait for an opportunity to have a good talk with him, and slowly enlighten and induce him to recognize the situation.So, he said to Guo Bingsheng: "We are all the commanders of the division, and we can discuss different opinions, but no matter what difficulties we face, we must not let go of our fighting spirit and we must hold on."

This sentence seemed to touch Guo Bingsheng's nerves, and he got angry and said: "Which one is slack in fighting spirit, me? A joke! I, Mr. Guo, consider the whole situation of the war. I have never been afraid of death when I was a soldier. I am afraid of death." I will not come to serve in the army!" Seeing that Guo Bingsheng was very restless and unwilling to continue arguing with him, Peng Xuefeng changed the subject to study how to sum up the battle.The next day, when Peng Xuefeng approached me for research work, he told me about his dispute with Guo Bingsheng and asked for my opinion.Both Peng Xuefeng and I knew about Guo Bingsheng’s situation: Guo Bingsheng’s father, Guo Deyun, was Peng Dehuai’s first veteran squad leader when he joined the Hunan Army in 1916. He had participated in the Revolution of 1911 and had a sense of justice. Peng Dehuai respected him very much.Later, Guo Deyun became the platoon leader, but because he was dissatisfied with the corruption of the Kuomintang warlords, he resigned and returned home to work as a cobbler.In 1921, when Peng Dehuai was the company commander, he killed Ou Shengqin, a bully landlord in Nan County, because of the murder of the people, and was wanted and arrested by Hunan Governor Zhao Hengti. , and secretly drafted the constitution of the "Poverty Relief Association".It is a pity that Guo Deyun died of typhoid fever soon, and his last words entrusted Guo Bingsheng to Peng Dehuai's care. Guo Bingsheng was only eleven or twelve years old at the time.When Peng Dehuai was battalion commander in 1926, Guo Bingsheng came to join Peng Dehuai.He kept Guo Bingsheng by his side and became an orderly.Because Peng Dehuai had such an unusual relationship with Guo Bingsheng's father, he also cared about Guo Bingsheng. He often educated him, took him to participate in the activities of the Soldiers Association, and accepted revolutionary ideas.In July 1928, Guo Bingsheng joined Peng Dehuai in the Pingjiang Uprising.During the period when he first joined the Red Army, Guo Bingsheng performed well, fought bravely, commanded flexibly and decisively, and fought some good battles. Peng Dehuai, Teng Daiyuan and other leading comrades liked him very much, absorbed others into the party, and promoted him to be the company commander and head of the regiment. , Teacher.However, with the successful development of the army and the promotion of his position, Guo Bingsheng gradually took credit and pride, and the bad habits he had acquired in the old army gradually emerged. Backward cadres and soldiers praised him.Sometimes he loses his temper and reprimands subordinates and soldiers for no reason.He was tired of political work, he didn't take political classes, and even scolded the political cadres as "playing tricks" and "walking the rivers and lakes"; he complained that political education affected his training and lectures.Therefore, he often had conflicts with Commissar Peng, and sometimes even contradicted them, making the relationship very tense.When the city of Ganzhou was besieged, Guo Bingsheng led the troops to dig tunnels outside the south gate and carry out blasting. However, due to the low terrain and high water level, repeated digging failed and failed. caused by political work.When the enemy reinforcements arrived in Ganzhou and formed a pincer attack on us from inside and outside, and our army was ordered to withdraw from the siege, Peng Xuefeng fought hard with our rearguard troops to cover the transfer of the brothers' troops, but the division commander Guo Bingsheng, who used to flaunt his bravery in combat, did not know where he went went.Moreover, since the Battle of Ganzhou, Guo Bingsheng has been taciturn and preoccupied.

In my impression, Guo Bingsheng was born as a worker and peasant, with a bold personality and bravery in battle, but his education level is low, he doesn't like learning, and he is easy to be stubborn.At the Xiajiang meeting, he complained about Dongdu Ganjiang, and was criticized by Boss Peng. Afterwards, when he encountered difficulties, he complained that Dongdu Ganjiang left his hometown base to cause the passive situation.When I was working in the Seventh Regiment, I often went to the division headquarters for meetings, and I heard about Guo Bingsheng's words and deeds from time to time. After working in the division headquarters, I also knew that he had serious conflicts with political commissar Peng Xuefeng.Because I am a fellow with him and a few years older than him, sometimes I persuade him and help him at party meetings, hoping that he can do a good job in the unity of military and government cadres.When listening to Political Commissar Peng introduce his debate with Guo Bingsheng this time, I still judged from my impressions, thinking that Guo Bingsheng was still dissatisfied with the issue of crossing the Ganjiang River eastward. The problem is to help and educate him more.

In order to help educate Guo Bingsheng, political commissar Peng Xuefeng reported Guo Bingsheng's ideological problems to Peng Dehuai's army commander.Peng Dehuai attached great importance to this matter, and personally sent Huang Kecheng, the head of the organization, to the resident of our second division to hold a meeting of cadres above the regiment, and severely criticized Guo Bingsheng's mistakes.Guo Bingsheng was most afraid of President Peng. When he saw Huang Kecheng coming to the Second Division to solve his problems, he knew that Boss Peng must be very angry, so he reversed his high-spirited normalcy and became "honest", standing in front of everyone like I regretted my appearance and reviewed my ignorance of thinking about crossing the Ganjiang River in the east, lack of understanding of the situation, and fear of difficulties;On behalf of Peng Dehuai, Huang Kecheng put forward requirements and hopes to Guo Bingsheng, and Guo Bingsheng expressed that he would learn from his mistakes and correct his mistakes.After the meeting, according to the instructions of the head of the regiment, the leading cadres of the second division went to each regiment to participate in the training, and helped each regiment summarize the experience and lessons of several battles and battles at this stage.Peng Xuefeng went to the Seventh Regiment, Guo Bingsheng went to the Sixth Regiment, and I went to the Fifth Regiment.

Not long after I arrived at the Fifth Regiment's base, one afternoon I was having a meeting with the Fifth Regiment Party Committee at the regiment headquarters when I suddenly heard rapid gunfire from the southwest.Then, the scouts came rushing to report that the KMT's Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying troops suddenly entered the area where our Red Second Division was stationed from west to east.At that time, because the troops were too scattered, the whole division had no time to concentrate, and was instantly separated by the enemy who rushed into the garrison area. The fifth regiment was cut off to the northeast of the division headquarters, and lost contact with the division headquarters, the sixth and seventh regiments in the southwest. Extremely critical.At this moment, I recalled that a few days ago, the troops of the Third Brothers of the Red Army were stationed in the Huangfang area to the northeast of us. This area is full of deep mountainous areas where it is easy to hide. Therefore, I told Bai Zhiwen, the head of the Fifth Regiment, to immediately lead the team to move northeast, to The Third Red Division approached.

In the evening, the regiment leader Bai Zhiwen and I came to Huangfang with the fifth regiment. The troops stopped advancing, rested and ate, and sent scouts out to investigate. Only then did we know that the Third Red Division had left southeast that afternoon.It was already dark at this time, and there was no military map in the regiment, so I could only ask the local people to find out the simple situation around them, and then worked with the cadres of the Fifth Regiment to study the next action plan.I proposed: We quickly moved to Huangfang in the afternoon to get rid of the enemy initially, but a large number of enemies are still rushing eastward, and we should not stay here for long.Now the enemy is advancing from west to east. According to the experience of the third counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression", we will advance against the enemy from east to west, use the dark night to penetrate through the gaps in the enemy's flanks, and look west for the main force, so that we can completely get rid of the enemy. up.Everyone agreed with my opinion, and the head of the regiment, Bai Zhiwen, immediately organized troops to take action.

As soon as the troops walked out of Huangfang, several gunshots and trumpets sounded from the direction of the outpost troops. Judging from the sound of the trumpets, it was our own troops. Even to the east.After the rendezvous, I reported to him the opinions I had discussed with the cadres in the regiment, and he agreed, so we reunited and headed westward according to the original plan. Marching in the mountains at night, you can't see your fingers. The mountain road is rugged and hard enough. It rained heavily in the middle of the night. The road was muddy, slippery as if poured with oil, and there were many people wrestling.I fell several times and injured my right ankle, which became more and more swollen and painful as I walked.I gritted my teeth and endured until dawn. When the team reached Bashan, they didn't dare to advance rashly because they didn't know the enemy's situation, so they camped against the mountain and camped in a forest.

After camping, I asked the head of the Bai regiment to select a few cadres and soldiers who were smarter and stronger and divided them into two groups to go out for reconnaissance.At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the scouts returned to the station to report that no enemies were found around.A reconnaissance team reported that when they arrived at Fenggangwei, they met political commissar Peng Xuefeng. It is understood that when our second division was suddenly attacked by the enemy, political commissar Peng Xuefeng led the division's direct organization and the seventh regiment to fight and retreat, throwing off the enemy Later, he moved to Fenggangwei, where he found the Jiangxi Military Region Office and Commander Chen Yi.With the help of Commander Chen Yi, Political Commissar Peng led his troops to temporarily station in Fenggangwei to take in a few lost comrades from the Seventh Regiment.The scouts reported to Political Commissar Peng that I had safely transferred to Bashan with the Fifth Regiment. On the way, I encountered Master Guo leading a special agent company to the east, and almost had a misunderstanding. Later, we joined together and walked westward to Bashan, but I fell during the march. Injured his right foot, the injury is more serious.Political Commissar Peng immediately asked the scouts to bring me a letter to the effect that he had brought the Division and the Seventh Regiment to the base of the Jiangxi Military Region. He was very happy to learn that the Fifth Regiment had arrived in Bashan safely. Mobility is inconvenient, please hurry to Fenggangwei tomorrow morning, and take Shizhi and the Seventh Regiment back to the Soviet area to rest.He set off at the same time tomorrow morning and rushed to Bashan to pick up the fifth regiment to Fenggangwei, and returned to the Soviet area together after meeting with the sixth regiment. I was overjoyed when I received the letter from Political Commissar Peng. At that time, I conveyed the instructions of Political Commissar Peng to Guo Bingsheng and the cadres of the Fifth Regiment. Everyone was very happy and agreed to wait for Political Commissar Peng in Bashan.The next day, head Bai Zhiwen sent a platoon to escort me to Fenggangwei on a stretcher.Then, I took Shizhi and the Seventh Regiment to the south and went straight to the Dongshao Soviet Area.After arriving in Dongshao, I thought that the Fifth Regiment was invincible in Bashan. Bashan is about a day away from Fenggangyu. Political Commissar Peng will definitely be able to bring the team to Dongshao soon. Unexpectedly, after two days, Political Commissar Peng and the Fifth Regiment Before arriving, I became anxious, but my foot was seriously injured. My ankle and calf were red and swollen to partly purple. The pain was unbearable, and I couldn't walk around. I had to wait patiently. The fifth and sixth regiments returned to Dongshao.As soon as we met, I hurriedly asked him why he didn't come back until now? He stamped his feet angrily and said, "Guo Bingsheng, that bastard, has defected to the enemy!" I was stunned by this sudden news, and asked anxiously what was going on?Political commissar Peng told me: On the morning I left Bashan to Fenggangwei, he also set off from Fenggangwei to Bashan with a dozen guards.We took the mountain path, and they rode the main road on horseback, so we didn't meet on the way.Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Bashan, they could not find Guo Bingsheng and the Fifth Regiment. After asking around, they found out that Guo Bingsheng had led the Fifth Regiment to the north.Political Commissar Peng immediately became vigilant, didn't he go north in the direction of Chongren and Fuzhou White Area?Could it be that Guo Bingsheng wanted to lead his team to defect to the enemy?Thinking of this, Political Commissar Peng became anxious, and led the guards to follow the direction directed by the common people. Under the guidance of the masses, Political Commissar Peng tracked until the evening of the second day, and finally caught up with the Fifth Regiment not far from Chongren County.Bai Zhiwen, the head of the fifth regiment, and the cadres of the regiment happily gathered around to greet Commissar Peng.Political commissar Peng asked head Bai: "Didn't I write to Director Li, please wait for me in Bashan, and I will take you to Fenglanxu, why are you here?" The head of the Bai regiment, Zhizhi, met him and said: "After Director Li left, Master Guo said that the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops are about to carry out the fourth major "encirclement and suppression" of the Soviet area. We can't go back to the Soviet area. , try to cross the Ganjiang River westward, go back to our old base in Hunan to fight guerrillas, and preserve the revolutionary forces. There are many people in Hunan in our regiment, and they all want to go home.” Without waiting for Head Bai to go on, Guo Bingsheng rushed to defend and said: "When I was crossing the Ganjiang River, I raised my opinion that I could not leave our hometown to fight in Jiangxi. Facts have proved in the past two years that the more we fight, the more passive we become. I want to bring the team back to Hunan." Political commissar Peng saw that Guo Bingsheng was making unreasonable words, so he refuted him: "Didn't we smash the enemy's three "encirclement and suppression" campaigns after we came to Jiangxi? The white army encircled the west and crossed the Ganjiang River to return to Hunan? Even if you want to go back to Hunan, you should first go to the Soviet area to report to Boss Peng and then act in unison. Why do you not only move closer to the Soviet area and the main force, but to Chongren and Fuzhou in which direction?" The last sentence touched Guo Bingsheng's heart, and his face turned pale. He might be afraid that Commissar Peng would arrest him on the spot, so he pretended to be remorseful and said, "Commissioner Peng, I am not very organized and disciplined. I am homesick, and acted without asking my superiors, please forgive me from the organization. I will definitely review it when I go back." Political Commissar Peng considered that under the circumstances at the time, he should not push too hard on Guo Bingsheng to prevent accidents. After the troops returned to the Soviet area, he would ask Boss Peng and Political Commissar Teng to deal with it.Therefore, he deliberately showed a smiling face to comfort Guo Bingsheng and said: "Forget it, Master Guo, it's good that you recognize your mistakes. Now let's take the team back to the Soviet area together and get ready to crush the enemy's new 'encirclement and suppression'." After the evening of the same day, Peng Xuefeng and Guo Bingsheng led the five regiments back to the south. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain. Even a few cronies slipped away, fled to Le'an to join the enemy, and became shameful traitors.After listening to Peng Xuefeng's introduction, my lungs exploded with anger, and I regret not seeing through the true face of Guo Bingsheng, a traitor.In the past, I always thought that he was brave in battle, but his style of work was rough and his way of thinking was extreme, so he could be educated; I didn't expect that he would be intimidated by the enemy's aggressiveness and become a shameless man in front of the threat of the enemy's fourth "encirclement and suppression". deserters and traitors.Guo Bingsheng's rebellion aroused the great indignation of the commanders and fighters of the division. Everyone condemned Guo Bingsheng's crimes unanimously, and unanimously praised Peng Xuefeng's political commissar for decisiveness, wit and bravery to smash Guo Bingsheng's attempt to deceive and hijack the Red Fifth Regiment to defect to the enemy.Later, in order to commend political commissar Peng Xuefeng for his heroic and resourceful efforts to save the troops during the Le'an Incident, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission specially awarded him a glorious "Red Star Medal". After Political Commissar Peng finished talking about the general history of the "Le'an Incident", he kindly inspected the injury on my right ankle. He saw that my right ankle and calf were swollen very thickly, and some parts had festered and festered. He was very distressed and went to the Legion immediately. Rao Zhengxi, the medical director of the Ministry of Health, discussed it and decided to operate on me immediately. At that time, anesthesia was in short supply, but because I was afraid that I would go into shock due to the pain during the operation, Political Commissar Peng asked to give me general anesthesia.On the day of the operation, he kept guarding the operating table, watching Director Rao Zhengxi drain the pus and blood, dig out the festered muscles, correct the sprained ankle joint, and put on a splint.After the operation, he guarded my bedside and waited for me to wake up. He was relieved and asked me how I felt?I said, "It's much better now, it's not as painful as it was before the operation." He told me: "During the operation, you fell asleep, but when the three tendons were cut, your feet would twitch, jump, jump Take a look, it can be seen that the hamstring is very sensitive." He said and gestured, and then he laughed.When he smiled, my nervousness seemed to relax a lot, so I laughed. Political Commissar Peng’s concern for his subordinates reflects the close relationship between our army’s superiors and subordinates, which I will never forget. If Commissar Peng hadn’t decisively found someone to perform an operation on me to make the injury worse, my right foot might have to be amputated. Infection with "tetanus" is even more fatal. It was Political Commissar Peng who saved me from danger. Shortly after the operation, I was transferred from the Health Department of the Dongshao Army to the Ningdu rear hospital for further treatment. Unexpectedly, in October, I was infected with malaria and dysentery. , with little medicine and poor nutrition, his condition was very serious at one time. Fortunately, Ningdu Hospital made every effort to rescue him and escaped from death.One day in November, I suddenly met a malaria patient in the hospital. He was a new soldier who escaped from my hometown to join the Red Army not long ago, and he was very affectionate when he saw me.He told me that since the main force of the Red Army crossed the Ganjiang River in the winter of 1930, the Kuomintang troops in Changsha often went to the countryside to "clean up" the guerrillas, and the local tyrants and evil gentry became rampant again.On February 22, 1931, Tang Wenyan, an officer of the Kuomintang, led troops to Daxiyuan to copy and burn the Communist Party’s underground lithography bureau (that is, the printing factory). He passed through Shuangkeng Village and took my second brother Feng Ting to Yonghe City to kill him.The reactionaries also inhumanely dug out Feng Ting's heart. It is said that they were dug up and fried for food. The body was exposed on the market for several days, and no one dared to collect the body.After hearing this unfortunate news, I was both sad and angry, and vowed to avenge my second brother's blood. Then, I asked about the situation of my relatives at home, and at first he hesitated and said that he didn't know much.I thought, he is from Shuangkeng, how could he not know the situation of my biological father in Shuangkeng and the family of my adoptive father in Xikeng?After I asked repeatedly, he told me: In the summer of 1931, a plague was prevalent in my hometown, some said it was malaria, some said it was typhoid fever, and many people died. Yi, his adoptive father in Xikeng, two uncles, my wife Liu Shi, two sons, and a daughter all died within three or four months of the plague.Because too many people died in the village, he was afraid of catching the plague and escaped. He thought of going to Jiangxi to find his uncle who was a Red Army soldier. However, he wandered to Jiangxi and found the Red Army. Joined the Red Army. This sudden bad news is a bolt from the blue, a nightmare!That night, I couldn't sleep all night. I thought of my parents who gave birth to me and raised me. Before they died, I couldn't serve soup and medicine, and I didn't have the filial piety to be a son. Mrs. Liu, she is gentle, virtuous, industrious and frugal. She has been working hard since she entered my house, serving the elderly, raising children, and suffering all her life. She died prematurely at the age of twenty-eight. She did not have a full day to eat and hated herself I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband; thinking of my two clever sons and innocent and lovely daughter, who have been living a miserable life since they fell to the ground, and died at a young age; I resent myself for not being able to do my best Responsibility of the father; remembering that only the adoptive mother is left in the family, the old man is alone and lonely, how will he live in the future?Grief and self-blame made my heart ache and crushed.Tears flowed like a fountain on the blanket that made the pillow. However, at dawn, I changed my mind. Since the first day I participated in the revolution, I have made up my mind to contribute everything to the cause of the revolution without sacrifice.The ancients said: "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both", "There is a country to have a family", many relatives of comrades died under the enemy's butcher's knife, many martyrs gave their youth and life, and I am not the only one who sacrificed for the revolution. ?As a revolutionist, for the revolutionary cause, it is worthwhile to sacrifice the "little self" in exchange for the liberation and happiness of the "big self" of 450 million compatriots. In December 1932, the soldiers and civilians in the Central Soviet Area took action, stepping up their preparations to crush the enemy’s fourth counter-revolutionary “encirclement and suppression campaign.” I really wanted to be able to participate in this battle, but my foot injury had not yet healed, and I had to rely on crutches every step of the way , really annoying!At this time, in order to prepare for the war, the hospital evacuated a large number of our wounded and sick to the homes of the masses to hide and continue to treat them. In January 1933, the Provisional Central Committee moved from Shanghai to the Central Soviet Area to further implement the "Left" adventurist military line, reject Comrade Mao Zedong's leadership in the Red Army, and demand that the Red Army adopt a policy of "preemptive strikes" , Attack the enemy's heavily fortified Nanfeng City in an attempt to sabotage the enemy's fourth "encirclement and suppression".On February 12, when the storming of Nanfeng was unsuccessful and they learned that the enemy was heavily reinforcing Nanfeng, Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the First Front Army, and Zhou Enlai, general political commissar, resolutely changed the erroneous policy of "preemptive strikes" and still adopted Comrade Mao Zedong's three counter-attacks. The strategic policy of "luting the enemy to go deep" adopted in the "encirclement and suppression" and the combat principles of fighting mobile warfare, fighting annihilation warfare, and concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy one by one. Three divisions captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and successfully crushed the enemy's fourth counter-revolutionary "encirclement and suppression" campaign in late March.Every time I hear the news of victory, I dance with joy, exercise more actively, practice walking, and try to recover my health as soon as possible and return to the army to participate in the battle.One day, Peng Xuefeng sent someone to visit me at the home of the people where I lived, and told me good news: After the traitor Guo Bingsheng defected to the enemy, he came to Hangzhou from Le'an, and the enemy appointed him as a "stretcher division" division commander. chief.The enemy's road is narrow, and was discovered by the soldiers of our Second Red Division during the battle of Huangpi. The soldiers were furious, and they used "rifle volley" to concentrate their firepower and shot the shameful traitor Guo Bingsheng to death. It was really satisfying. In May 1933, my foot injury recovered and I was able to walk without crutches, so I actively asked to be discharged from the hospital. After examination at the Ningdu rear hospital, I found that I was still disabled (evaluated as "third-class disabled" after the founding of the People's Republic of China), and I suggested returning to the army. After working and recuperating, I returned to Dahuping in Le'an, where the army headquarters is stationed.On June 7, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued an order to reorganize the Red Army on the First Front, requesting the abolition of the army's organizational system, and the reorganization of the small army and small divisions belonging to the Front Army into a "three-three system" master group, and decided that the former Red Army and Fourth Army , 22nd Army and Ruijin Model Division were reorganized into the first, second and third divisions of the Red First Army; the original Red Fifth Army, Seventh Army, 21st Army and Xingguo Model Division were reorganized into the fourth, fifth and sixth divisions of the Red Third Army ; At the same time, the Red Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Army Corps also underwent adaptations.After the reorganization of Dahuping, Peng Dehuai was still the commander of the Third Red Army, Teng Daiyuan was still the political commissar, Deng Ping was the chief of staff, Yuan Guoping was the director of the political department, and the Red Third Army had three divisions under its direct control. and the three divisions were combined into the fourth division (the original Red First Division was the tenth regiment, the second red division was the eleventh regiment, and the third red division was the twelfth regiment); The First Division of the Army and the First Division of the Legion Special Service Battalion were jointly organized into the Fifth Division; the Xingguo Model Division was reorganized into the Sixth Division.Each division is formed into three regiments, each regiment is formed into three battalions, each battalion is formed into three infantry companies, and one machine gun company.Due to the inconvenience of walking, I was assigned to the Legion Teaching Camp as the Secretary of the Party General Branch and a political teacher, and soon became the political commissar of the teaching camp. The teaching battalion was directly under the leadership of the army. The battalion commander was first Duan Lianxi, and soon Peng Shaohui took over.The teaching camp is mainly responsible for training military and political cadres at the battalion, company, and platoon levels. In normal times, each unit sends outstanding grassroots cadres and soldiers to the training camp for training and training. The grassroots cadres suffer heavy casualties during battles. When there is a shortage, the teaching camp will send cadres to make up for it. , This played the role of reserve cadres. When I first arrived at the training camp, the training camp was conducting training in the base area of ​​Lai Village in Ningdu. After July 1933, Battalion Commander Peng Shaohui and I led the training camp to fight in Fujian twice with the "Eastern Army", and then participated in the In the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle, we trained while fighting, and improved the military and political quality of cadres by summarizing combat experience and political work experience.
