The most cattle regiment of the Red Army is none other than the cadre regiment. In 1955, when the title was awarded, this "Royal Forest Army" of only more than a thousand people produced 56 founding generals, including 2 generals, 6 generals, 13 lieutenant generals, and 35 major generals.
Ding Qiusheng was a fellow of the chairman and the political commissar of the 1st Battalion of the Cadre Regiment, and during the Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he had many intersections with the chairman and was deeply valued by the chairman. However, in August 1938, in order to go to the front line, Ding Qiusheng refused to serve as a political commissar at the school and was severely warned and punished.
Founding Lieutenant General Ding Qiusheng
In October 1913, Ding Qiusheng was born in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province, to a poor peasant family.
But my father, who was making a living outside the home, never returned home, so he disappeared out of thin air. At the age of 7, Ding Qiusheng fled to Anyuan with his mother, and from the age of 11, he worked as a child laborer in a coal mine, tasting the suffering and heartache of the world.
At the end of September 1930, when Commissar Mao arrived in Anyuan, the workers rushed to tell each other and waited early in the square in front of the Workers' Club to listen to Commissar Mao speak to them. When 17-year-old Ding Qiusheng first met Commissar Mao, he and his friends climbed up a large willow tree and listened to Commissar Mao say that poor people should unite when they turned themselves into masters and would take up the barrel of a gun to establish a Soviet.
Ding Qiusheng's blood boiled when he heard this, and he went home and asked his mother to join the Red Army. The mother was reluctant to her son, cried very sadly, and locked him in the house. Ding Qiusheng coaxed his mother to go back to the coal mine to work, quietly signed up for the Red Army the next morning, and quietly left home a few days later.
Ding Qiusheng fought bravely and participated in the death squad many times. The first anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, and comrades saw the enemy aircraft and curiously followed behind. The plane turned around and dropped two bombs, one of which landed behind Ding Qiusheng, and the dirt buried him in the soil and was planed out by his comrades-in-arms.
In April 1934, Ding Qiusheng, political commissar of the 41st Regiment of the Red 14th Division, participated in the Battle of Guangchang, the artery in the left arm was broken and comatose for 7 days and 7 nights, the division commander Zhang Zongxun sent 8 people to take turns carrying stretchers to Ruijin Hospital, more than a dozen soldiers donated blood, fu Lianxuan personally operated on his own, which saved his life.

On January 19, 1935, Ding Qiusheng, then an officer of the democratic movement in the Political Department, was buying grain.
Suddenly, he received a notice from his superiors asking him to serve as a political commissar in the first battalion of the cadre regiment. Ding Qiusheng immediately rushed to an old barracks of Wang Jialie in Zunyi New City, and Dong Biwu and others had just arrived at the cadre regiment.
Only to see Chen Gengzheng say to Yu Zehong, political commissar of the cadre unit at a higher level: "These old comrades acted with the cadre regiment, and the chairman gave me an order. "
Seeing Ding Qiusheng, Chen Geng did not say a word and led him to a battalion to take up his post immediately.
The Red Army cadre regiment has more than 1,000 people, but it is the "first regiment under the heavens" without compromise. Regiment commander Chen Geng and superior cadre unit leader Xiao Jinguang were all founding generals, and political commissars Song Renqian, Chen Qihan, Zhou Shidi, Zhou Huan, Wei Guoqing, and Song Shilun were all generals.
The cadre regiment has 13 lieutenant generals, such as Mo Wenhua, Sun Yi, Guo Huaruo, Ding Qiusheng, Liu Daosheng, Tan Xilin, Zhang Guohua, Wen Yucheng and others. There are also 35 major generals, such as Guo Linxiang, Su Jin, Dai Runsheng, Hong Hong, Xiao Yingtang, Huang Chaotian, Liu Shaoqing, Zeng Kelin, Hu Wei and so on.
The 1st and 2nd battalions of the cadre regiment are combat battalions, the 3rd battalion is the secretary and county chief who moved with the army, and the 4th battalion is the special branch battalion, which has artillery companies and engineer companies. The later losses of the cadre regiment were also very large, such as li rong (Li Zhenya), the commander of the 1st battalion, who died in Qiongya in 1948, Huang Yanbin, the commander of the 2nd battalion, died of illness in Qingyang in February 1937, Lin Fang (Fang) Ying, the commander of the 3rd battalion, died during the Eastern Expedition in 1936, and the political commissar of the 4th battalion, Jin Jinshan (Huang Hua), died in 1943.
Some commanders and fighters of the cadre regiment
The soldiers of the cadre regiment are all cadres at the company and platoon levels, and the cadres at higher levels are all military and political cadres at or above the regimental and battalion levels.
Xiao Jinguang, the leader of the higher-level cadre unit, was the political commissar of the Fifth Red Army, the political commissar Yu Zehong was the commander of the Jianning Independent Division, and after the Tashi Conference, he went to Sichuan to carry out guerrilla warfare, and the political commissar was replaced by Mo Wenhua, director of the Propaganda Department of the Red Eighth Army. In December 1935, Yu Zehong was killed as a traitor.
The cadre regiment had two guns, one long and one short, and wore captured helmets on their heads, which was very recognizable. Less than 10 days after Ding Qiusheng took office as political commissar of the 1st Battalion, he and the cadre regiment participated in the famous Battle of Tucheng Qingbanpo.
On January 28, 1935, the Red Army, which was only left in the encirclement circle to cross the Chishui River in the west, set up guo Xunqi of the Fuchuan Army in Tucheng. Peng Dehuai commanded the Red 3rd and 5th Armies to attack from the north to the south, and the fierce attack did not take the Qingbar Slope for 3 hours, and the Sichuan army fought more and more without retreating.
At the critical moment, Zhu Laozong and Liu Bocheng also went to the front line, but they still could not withstand the continuous stream of Sichuan troops. At the order of the chairman, the cadre regiment pulled up, and Li Rong and Ding Qiusheng led the 1st battalion to launch a counterattack on the Sichuan army at a high place. The fighting was fierce, with bloodshed and casualties at every step. Seeing that Guo Xunqi was not supported, the follow-up troops of the Sichuan Army arrived again.
Ding Qiusheng commanded the retreat of 1 battalion, and Li Rong led 3 companies and 1 platoon to cover, and only a dozen people were left. After Mr. Zhu and Liu Bocheng inquired about Li Rong and Ding Qiusheng, they ordered the cadre regiment and the Red First Army to withdraw from Qingbanpo. That night, the chairman made up his mind to withdraw from the city and cross the Chishui River to the west.
In the Battle of Tucheng Qingbanpo, the cadre regiment suffered more than 100 casualties, including more than 90 people in 1 battalion and 3 company commanders. Li Rong and Ding Qiusheng had a heavy heart, and when the chairman learned of the casualties, he was also very saddened: These soldiers were all backbones of the Red Army at or above the company platoon level.

On May 2, 1935, Ding Qiusheng and the cadre regiment marched 160 miles a day to Kyaukpyeongdu.
The 3rd Battalion of the Cadre Regiment captured 7 small wooden boats, and later the 30,000 main forces of the Red Army, except for Peng Xuefeng's 13th Regiment and the Field Hospital of the First Red Army, most of them crossed the Jinsha River from here without losing a single person or horse, and the cadre regiment was commended by the general order of the whole army.
The cadre regiment was the "royal forest army" of the Red Army, and Mao, Zhu, Zhou, and Liu Bocheng often accompanied the cadre regiment, and Ding Qiusheng often saw these chiefs. In April 1935, Ding Qiusheng passed by Longchang, and the chairman who was resting on the side of the road recognized him as a cadre regiment at a glance.
In August, the Red Army arrived at Mao'er to cover the meadows, and Ding Qiusheng took a company to undertake the task of containment. The chairman saw Ding Qiusheng again, and he came and went back and forth, and he had a deep impression on the political commissar of this battalion. In September, the cadre regiment was downsized to a battalion, and Ding Qiusheng was transferred to the instructor of the communications police company.
One night, Ding Qiusheng, who was on duty, was running into the chairman out for a walk, and when he learned that Ding Qiusheng was from Xiangxiang, the chairman was very happy: "Your hometown is only 40 miles away from my hometown. Ding Qiusheng told the chairman that he did not speak to his old mother when he joined the Red Army.
The chairman and Ding Qiusheng said: Mother Xingqian is worried that she will definitely go back to see her when she has the opportunity in the future. Ding Qiusheng nodded, and the chairman said: The people left behind by the Long March are all backbones, you have served from the regimental political commissar to the company instructor, and in the future, the Red Army will grow stronger, and you will be able to command 1 division and 1 army.
Ding Qiusheng said happily: "Chairman, I am eager to go to the combat troops. The Chair said: "There will be opportunities in the future. "
Cross the grass
In June 1938, Tan Zheng, director of the Political Department of the Left Behind Corps, and others were discussing the issue of the political commissar of Liu Ding Motorcycle School.
Ding Qiusheng has trained more than 2,000 grassroots backbones a year, and everyone has unanimously agreed to serve as the political commissar of the motorcycle school. But Ding Qiusheng was bent on going to the front line to fight, like Chen Geng Shentouling and Changle Village, and he was very reluctant to fight with the Japanese army. Everyone arrived at the school, but as soon as they heard Liu Ding say that the appointment order had not yet arrived, they rolled up the cover and pulled out their legs and left.
Fellow countryman Tan Zheng personally went to find Ding Qiusheng to do work. But Ding Qiusheng couldn't listen to a word. Tan Zheng was helpless, warning him that disobeying the order would be punished, and he also had to tell the chairman about it. Three conversations had no effect, and Ding Qiusheng believed that the chairman would definitely put himself on the line.
A few days later, 25-year-old Ding Qiusheng was appointed inspector, and the Political Department gave him a severe warning. Ding Qiusheng did not expect that the chairman who was familiar with himself was on official business in this matter and did not miss his hometown sentiments at all.
Ding Qiusheng
In the position of inspector, Ding Qiusheng started from scratch, went to the Northern Shaanxi Public School to investigate the situation of the trainees, went to Yangjialing to visit the agricultural products exhibition, went to the trilateral guard regiment to investigate the situation of suppressing bandits, and went to the Yellow River ferry to investigate the two rivers defense facilities.
In February 1939, Ding Qiusheng was transferred to Kang Da as an officer. In August 1940, he was arranged to study at the Marxist-Leninist Academy.
After 2 years of tempering, Ding Qiusheng finally waited for the opportunity: in August 1941, Ding Qiusheng led nearly 100 cadres to the Shandong battlefield. During the liberation period, Ding Qiusheng served as the political commissar of the 8th Yamano Division, the political commissar of the 22nd Army of Sanye, the director of the political department of the 7th Corps, and the deputy political commissar.
In January 1950, the Political Department of the 22nd Army sent Ding Qiusheng political commissar to his new post
In 1952, Ding Qiusheng met the chairman when he attended the National Day ceremony. The chairman remembered what he said to him during the Long March, and asked him with concern whether he had come home to see his mother. Ding Qiusheng replied movingly, Chairman, my mother has passed away. The Chairman shook his hand vigorously as a sign of comfort.
In September 1955, Ding Qiusheng participated in the conferment ceremony and became one of the 13 founding lieutenant generals of the Red Army cadre regiment during the Long March.
