Before the establishment of the New Fourth Army, who were the main guerrillas in the three-year guerrilla war in the south?

Learning military history also requires some common sense and skills. When the New Fourth Army/KLOC-0 was formally established at the end of 937, * * * formed four detachments * *10300, of which the fourth detachment with the largest strength was about 5,000, which was adapted from the Red 28 Army in the guerrilla zone of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, with Gao Jingting as the commander. This has been introduced in the previous article. Where is the base area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui? Dabie Mountain, so the fourth detachment is obviously the Red Army north of the Yangtze River, which is not covered by the question.

(Chen Yi, commander of the first detachment)

Set up the first detachment with Chen Yi as the commander, and administer the 1 regiment and the 2nd regiment * * 2,366 people, of which 1 regiment was mainly adapted from the Red Army guerrillas on the border of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi (the former Red Army remained in the Central Soviet Area), with Fu (the founding general) as the head of the detachment and Jiang as the deputy head. The second regiment was mainly adapted from the Red Army guerrillas in Hunan-Jiangxi border, Jiangxi-Guangdong border, Anhui-Zhejiang-Jiangxi border and southern Hunan, with Zhang Zheng as its head, Wang Bicheng as its deputy head and Liu Peishan as its deputy head.

Therefore, a detachment in Chen Yi is composed of about five Red Army guerrillas. In the brutal three-year guerrilla war, under the frenzied encirclement and suppression of the enemy, it was difficult for large troops to survive. Therefore, the base areas are small and the guerrillas are small and sophisticated, ranging from dozens to hundreds. After the establishment of the New Fourth Army, the first detachment first moved eastward to open up the battlefield behind enemy lines, so it developed the fastest.

(Su Yu, deputy detachment leader of the second detachment)

Zhang Dingcheng, commander of the second detachment, and Su Yu, deputy commander, have more than 3 and 4 regiments/kloc-0.8 million, mainly adapted from the Red Army guerrillas in western Fujian, Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi, and southwestern Zhejiang. During the period when we insisted on guerrilla warfare, it was generally believed that the titles of guerrillas were all bluff, so the strength of various ministries was actually not much. For example, the "Zhejiang Southwest Forward Division" led by Su Yu sounds like a divisional establishment, but it can only be reduced to 3 regiments and 3 battalions when it is reorganized, because there are only 500 people. The second detachment of the New Fourth Army merged with the first detachment in June 1939+0 1 2000 to form the "Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army", and then crossed the river into northern Jiangsu, so it is also the most important part of the future "Central China Field Army" and "East China Field Army", which can be interpreted from the names of leaders at all levels, such as Chen Yi, Su Yu and East China Field Army.

The third detachment of the New Fourth Army was co-edited by the Red Army guerrillas who were active in eastern Fujian and northern Fujian. When it was first established, Zhang (Chief of Staff and Founding General of the New Fourth Army) was the commander of the detachment, Tan Zhenlin was the deputy commander, and there were more than 265,438+000 people in the 5th and 6th regiments. After the establishment of the third detachment, anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare was mainly carried out in southern Anhui, which is close to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army. Therefore, it suffered heavy losses in the "Southern Anhui Incident" in 194 1 year, and the rest was later incorporated into the 7th Division of the New Fourth Army.

To sum up, according to the official order of Nanjing Military Commission in June 1937, the New Fourth Army was actually organized by the Red Army guerrillas in eight southern provinces *** 13, but it did not include the Qiongya column in Hainan Island and the Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi guerrillas in the southwest. Among them, there are nine armed forces that stick to the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, namely Hunan-Jiangxi border, Jiangxi-Guangdong border, Anhui-Zhejiang-Jiangxi border, Fujian-Jiangxi border, southwestern Zhejiang, eastern Fujian and northern Fujian (in fact, there is a small guerrilla zone in central Fujian, so the 16 guerrilla zone is reserved in the south).
