In March 1927, Lin Biao took the train northward with the troops. Once the
troops arrived in Zhumadian, Henan, Lin Biao was promoted to company commander. Then participated in the Cai, Dong, and Xi Hongqiao battles.
In these few battles, Lin Biao tried his best and gained some practical experience.
After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, Chiang Kai-shek killed a large number of Communists and progressives. In mid-May, the Northern Expeditionary Army returned to Wuhan, and Lin Biao accompanied the 73rd Regiment in the lime kiln as a guard. In June, Ye Ting's 24th Division moved to Echeng .
In July, Wang Jingwei rebelled against the revolution, and the situation in Wuhan was tense. The 73rd regiment was moved to Jiujiang by the order of the Chinese Communist Party, and He Long’s 20th Army was joined.
The situation changed drastically. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China formed five members of the Central Bureau, ruled out Chen Duxiu's wrong leadership, decided to carry out an armed riot, and hold the Nanchang Uprising . After the
unit received the notice from the central government, Ye Ting's 24th Division, He Long's 20th Army, and Cai Tingkai's 10th Division separately marched towards Nanchang.
After the Nanchang Uprising, the Kuomintang army violently counterattacked. In order to preserve the actual situation, according to the central plan, on August 3, the uprising troops decided to march south and prepare to attack Guangzhou, restore the Guangdong Revolutionary Base, and seize Haikou to obtain the Communist International. With the aid of the Northern Expedition.
Led by Zhou Enlai, He Long, Liu Langcheng, and Ye Ting, the uprising troops withdrew from Nanchang in batches and arrived at Ruijin via Fuzhou, Yihuang, Guangchang, and Ningdu. After the
troop rests at Ruijin , it is ready to continue its march towards Guangdong. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Qian Dajun to lead more than ten thousand people to Huichang first, and seized the high ground that prevented the insurgent troops from advancing.
Lin Biao’s army is a guard. In order to clear the way to Guangdong, his superiors ordered Lin Biao to lead the Seventh Company to the front line to fight. The order of
fell like a mountain, and the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Company had no time to eat, and flew to the front.
entered the position in seven consecutive times and found that the frontal firepower of the enemy was very strong, and the sides were weaker, so he immediately decided not to attack from the front, but instead attacked from the side. Under the cover of one row of
, the second row moves cleverly to the enemy's flank along a dry ditch. When the second row of
was approaching the enemy's firepower point, it was discovered by the enemy.
Lin Biao made a decisive decision and ordered the second row of soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the enemy. At that time, Qian Dajun realized that the situation had changed and quickly adjusted his firepower, but it was too late. Most of these soldiers under Lin Biao were well-trained, and they were quite brave in combat.
The enemy on the defensive flank could not resist, and hurriedly retreated. Lin Biao took the lead and led the soldiers to seize the enemy's frontier fortifications with lightning speed.
Then, all the soldiers of the Seventh Company launched an attack again, and the enemy completely collapsed.
At this time, the brother troops also rushed up.
The enemy threw his helmet and armor and fled.
Qian Dajun is even more embarrassed. He got on the sedan chair and was about to escape, and chasing soldiers came from behind. He quickly threw down the sedan chair, grabbed a war horse in a panic, and ran away with his head in his arms. The rebel army occupied the Huichang city.
achieved a big victory in this battle, and the regiment and battalion commended seven companies. Since Lin Biao's uprising fought, he made the first military exploits. Subsequently, Lin Biao's 24th Division was transferred to the back and became a rear guard.
On September 24, the insurgents occupied Chaoshan, and the main force marched westward to Tangkeng via Jieyang , entered the Tangkeng, and encountered enemy Xue Yue’s troops. The battle was very fierce and stalemate Muxia. There was a long tug of war. As a result, both the enemy and the enemy suffered heavy casualties. The insurgents were exhausted and had to withdraw from the battle.
has been fighting for days. Coupled with the scorching sun in midsummer, the uprising troops were exhausted, and some cadres and soldiers left the troops and became deserters.
In early October, the westward uprising troops and the troops staying in Chaoshan were besieged by the superior enemy. The troops moved to the land and sea areas and joined the local farmers. The other troops were led by Zhu De and Chen Yi through the south of Jiangxi and northern Guangdong. Transfer to Shonan.
Lin Biao's company was led by Chen Yi and Zhu De. When this force withdrew to Yuanxian County, Jiangxi, only seven or eight hundred people remained.
is already late October, and the climate in the deep mountains and old forests is extremely cold. The soldiers of the
uprising unit were still wearing the uniforms issued by the August 1st Uprising. After months of fighting, the clothes were worn out and worn out, like a beggar. The
troops moved forward and the conditions were even worse.
is from Jiangxi to , northern Guangdong, , and southern Hunan. The troops sometimes march for a few days, but they cannot find a village. The soldiers could only use leaves to cushion under their bodies. They were all dressed in sweat-soaked clothes, holding guns, and crowded back to back under a tree. They warmed each other and slept for the whole night. The night was cool and cold. Wake up a few times.
At that time, it was the season of illness in the south, and the number of wounded and sick people with dysentery and swinging in the army increased day by day. Many cadres and soldiers died in this way. Lin Biao's body is very good and he has not contracted any disease. The
uprising troops faced such a severe test, some people could not stand it anymore, so they left without saying goodbye and became deserters. Marching all the way, as long as they encounter a fork, some people walk up to the fork in twos and threes, and they can't shout back. After the
troop withdrew to Yu, Lin Biao also left the team and headed towards Meiguan. He drove a short distance, but returned soon after leaving.
Chen Yi heard that the company commander had been a deserter and was very angry, so he immediately sent someone to find Lin Biao. Chen Yi asked Lin Biao: "Where have you been these past two days?"
" I... "
" Did you say? What are you doing?"
Lin Biao said, "I miss home very much, and plan to go back."
Chen Yi He sarcastically said: "I've left, what are you doing back!"
Lin Biao had to say honestly: "I can't go back, there are militia investigations everywhere along the way, and the few who went back in front were killed."
Chen Yi criticized him. "You still make sense. As the leader of a company, you are still a communist party member and take the lead as a deserter, don't you blush? Chief "
", I will never repeat the crime in the future!" Lin Biao promised.
Chen Yi saw that he had a good attitude, so he didn't pursue it any more. At that time, there were many shortages in the army, and it was common for the troops to run deserts. From Raoping to Anyuan, more than two-thirds of the troops were reduced. Except for a few wounded, most of them had deserted. Of course it's good to stay; and those who leave and look back should also be considered qualified. Therefore, the superior did not pursue him, and he still served as his company commander.
In November 1927, the troops led by Zhu De and Chen Yi were temporarily out of trouble.
They got in touch with Fan Shisheng, the commander of the 16th Army of the National Revolutionary Army stationed in Shaoguan. They borrowed the name of Fan Shisheng's troops, but still maintained the true colors of the revolutionary army and got rid of the enemy's encirclement and suppression. The
troop rested for a while in Shonan and also added a lot of soldiers.
In the spring of 1928, Lin Biao accompanied the troops from northern Guangdong to Yizhang, Hunan.
According to the decision of the Central Military Commission, Zhu De and Chen Yi's troops were reorganized, and this unit of less than two thousand people was organized into the " Chinese Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army First Division". Lin Biao’s army was organized into a battalion and two companies, and Lin Biao was still the company commander.
On February 16, the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants Revolutionary Army entered Leiyang county town.
Erlian stationed at the west and south gates of the county seat. As soon as the
troops took up residence, the cadres and soldiers immediately went to the peasant households to mobilize the masses to beat local tyrants, divide fields, and form Soviet power.
The activities of the Workers’ and Peasants Revolutionary Army in Leiyang shocked the whole province of Hunan. The enemy hates this revolutionary armed force very much.
In late February, the commander of the 19th Army stationed at Hengyang sent a large number of troops to Leiyang. Seeing that the enemy was coming fiercely, Zhu De and Chen Yi decided to avoid their edge and preserve their strength, and took the initiative to withdraw from Leiyang County. After Hu Zongduo arrived in Leiyang, he rushed out.
At that time, the Erlian led by Lin Biao withdrew from the county seat and stationed in Dongxiang Aoshan Temple 35 miles away from Leiyang City.
Hu Zongduo learned that the main forces of Zhu and Chen were here, and immediately sent a 500-strong reinforced battalion to attack. The intelligence of
happened to be learned by an intelligence officer who had penetrated into the enemy's interior, so he immediately notified the Leiyang County Party Committee through a secret channel, and the leaders of the Leiyang County Party Committee hurriedly sent a letter to tell the troops.
Lin Biao was overjoyed when he learned the information and decided to annihilate this arrogant enemy.
Lin Biao led a team to observeThe terrain. The Aoshan Temple has a particularly good terrain. It is surrounded by water on three sides and is surrounded by 5 villages. There is a small river on the northeast corner of the temple and a small bridge above the river. If the enemy enters the temple from the main road, he must walk through this bridge. The three sides of the temple are steep mountain roads, like a few iron tongs, which tightly clamp the throat of the village. This is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there are few enemies and the stone bridge is crossed, the door is closed and the dog is beaten to ensure that there is no return.
In order to lure the enemy to cross the bridge, Lin Biao came up with a good idea.
At that time, the Leiyang County Party Committee set up a temporary guest house in the temple. Before the second company arrived, it helped the Workers’ and Peasants Revolutionary Army to raise a batch of grain and piled it up in the temple. The guest house was run by Wu Ziyun, the chairman of the County Agricultural Association. Lin Biao decided to make a fuss on this.
Lin Biao saw Wu Ziyun and said: "Please send a few people to move all the snow-scraped pork outside the temple gate and pile it up. "Z1z
" is piled outside the temple gate?" Nerd Yun asked in surprise,
Lin Biao explained "I want to use these pork to lure the enemy into the bag. In the end, I asked them to take one or two meats!" When it was dark, Erlian quietly came to Hejiachong camp, 4 miles away from Aoshan Temple. Another 200 armed peasants lay in ambush on the hills on three sides.
In the middle of the night, more than 500 enemies sneaked into the Aoshan Temple entrance, preparing to attack the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army. They sent some people to cross the stone bridge first. They did not find the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army but saw that there was so much meat piled up in front of the temple. , Clamoring to cook pork to eat in the temple.
The enemy rushed for pork in a mess, and Lin Biao immediately fired an order at the air when the time was right. All of a sudden, the workers and peasants' revolutionary army and peasants who were in ambush all launched a fierce attack on the enemy. In an instant, the gunfire broke out and the mountain cannons blasted.
Enemies were beaten up and scrambled, there was nowhere to hide, and they were in chaos. The
battle was over after only one hour. The enemy commander was shot to death indiscriminately, and the remaining soldiers saw that the officer was dead, and the army was in disarray. Except for those killed, most of them surrendered without fighting. The victory in the battle of
Aoshandian not only inspired the people of Leiyang County, but also inspired all the soldiers and soldiers of the revolutionary army.
After the Hu Zongduo tribe occupied Leiyang County, they scrambled, burned and murdered the pretenders in the city. They did everything, and the people complained. The people couldn't bear it, and they asked the person in charge of the county party committee to ask the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to re-enter the city and eliminate the enemy who was cruel to the people.
Leiyang County Party Committee made the decision to destroy the enemy in the city. Later, they sent people to Aoshan Temple and asked Erlian to help attack the county seat. Lin Biao did not dare to act rashly, so he had to ask Zhu De and Chen Yi for instructions.
Zhu and Chen immediately agreed to attack Leiyang by the second company.
On March 2, Lin Biao, head of the Leiyang County Party Committee Deng Zonghai and others studied the combat plan together. Lin Biao thinks it is better to outsmart than to attack. He sent some soldiers of the Peasant Self-Defense Army into the city disguised as peasants to take the opportunity to mobilize the residents of the city to respond inside and out to annihilate Hu Zongduo's tribe.
On the second day, the battle started. The second company of
attacked Leiyang County from Zibuling in the northwest of the city, and 3,000 peasant self-defense armed forces surrounded the enemy from the southeast and west to prevent the enemy from escaping.
gunshots rang out to the northwest of the city. The Peasant Self-Defense Army ambushing in the southeast and southwest of the city immediately fired thousands of small red flags and fired rifles, pistols, and local artillery into the city. Infiltrating the "Independent Regiment" in the first district of the city, a "death squad" of more than 100 people used straw and firewood to set fire to the sky to intimidate the enemy.
The soldiers of the Second Company launched rounds of fierce attacks on the enemy from the front, making the enemy cry and cry. The enemy in the city was frustrated and afraid to fight, leaving more than 60 casualties and fled in panic.
Leiyang City is back in the hands of the people.
After two battles in Leiyang, Lin Biao was promoted to the first battalion commander. At that time, the commander of the first battalion, Zhou Zikun, was seriously injured in an exchange of fire with Xu Kexiang's department. Zhu De and Chen Yi appointed Lin Biao as the commander of the first battalion. At this time, Lin Biao had just turned 20. After Lin Biao became the battalion commander, he performed even better. Although he was very young, the soldiers persuaded him. Zhu De and Chen Yi also appreciate him very much, thinking that he is a piece of jade, which is of great value in training.
After the First World War in Leiyang, Zhu and Chen launched the Southern Hunan Uprising and established the Workers’ and Peasants’ Soviet regime.
