Is the International Department of the Communist Youth League an army? If not, what organization is it?

A short-lived "Little * * * International Branch"

During the Second Civil War, with the consent of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, China * * * Youth League C.O. (hereinafter referred to as * * * C.O.) established an independent division of the Red Army-"International Division for Youth of the First Army". However, this heroic army did not exist for a long time. Two years later, it was reorganized into the 15 division, which was under the Red Army organizational system. Although the existence of "Little * * * International Division" is a flash in the pan in the history of China's revolutionary struggle, it has trained and delivered a large number of outstanding generals and military commanding talents for the people's army, among which Hu Yaobang, Xiao Hua, Peng, Cao Wu, Yuan Peijue and others are famous.

1933 On May 20th, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League issued the document "Decision on Establishing a Small * * * * International Division" according to the suggestion of the General Political Department of the Red Army. /kloc-in August, 2000, at the commemorative meeting to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the founding of the Red Army, this new unit was fortunate to participate in the military parade held at the headquarters of the Ruijin Red Army together with the Red Army, the Red Army Second Corps and the Red Army Third Corps. "Little * * * International Division" basically completed the establishment task in about two months. During this period, we carried out strict military training and initially possessed certain combat effectiveness. At that time, the total strength of the division was about 8,000. 70% of them are from party member, and the average age of soldiers is around 18 years old. Many of them are "red children" aged 14 and 15 years old. Wu is the first teacher. Wu was once known as "the most advanced young commander" and died in the battle of Lichuan at the beginning of 1934 (or193365438+February). Feng Wenbin, the first political commissar, was also a young man in his twenties (this man wrote an article in memory of Shao * * * International Division on July 30th, and was later replaced by Xiao Hua, who was only 18 years old. )。 There is no official title of "Little International Teacher" in the military parade. On behalf of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, Vice Chairman Zhou Enlai personally awarded the flag of the "Little * * * International Division" and issued a battle order to go to the front to kill the enemy bravely. At the same time, the Red Army Workers Division was awarded the military flag.

However, the "Little * * * International Division" was really completed on August 5, 1933, and another divisional military parade was held in Bosheng County. A month later, on September 3rd, 1933, after a brief "September 3rd oath" ceremony, the "Little International Division" went to the front line of the fifth "anti-encirclement campaign". The "Little * * * International Division" arrived in Jianning on the East Line, and the Red Army soldiers sang songs such as "Little * * * International Division's Military Song" and "Go to the Front Line Song" and wrote "Long live the victory of the Red Army!" Slogans such as, its prestige shocked the whole Jianning County. The troops continued to advance to Taining, and then a military meeting attended by the backbone of the party group was held. The main leaders of the Red Army, General Political Commissar Zhou Enlai, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Director Yang, came to the "Little * * * International Division" to give a report and encourage them, conveying the campaign tasks.

"Little * * * International Division" won the first battle, that is, the battle to seize the mouth in northern Fujian. Clear the way for the independent regiment in central Fujian, and defeat more than 2,000 people in Zhou Zhiqun's department of Kuomintang army. Then transferred to Lichuan to participate in the defensive war. "Little * * * International Division" fought in Zixi Bridge and southwest Lebanon, but unfortunately, Mr. Wu was killed in the battle of Baishengguan. Chen Guang, a famous soldier, was appointed as the teacher of "Little International Division" (three months later, General Chen Guang was transferred to the Second Division of Ace Division as the teacher). In the Battle of Baishundianling, the "Little * * * International Division" also cooperated with friendly forces, defeated the Kuomintang troops of the two divisions advancing towards Lichuan, delayed the enemy's progress and ensured the establishment of our army's defense line. The victory of this campaign should be said to be very difficult, because one of the Kuomintang troops is the 1 1 division of Chen Cheng, which is the trump card of the national army. In the battle of Zhangheng Village in southwest Lebanon, the "Little International Division" was defeated by Kuomintang troops, and a Red Army colonel and political commissar who was responsible for the failure was later dismissed. However, in the next Shicheng Defence War, "Little * * * International Division" became famous in World War I.. In the face of the enemy's attack with superior forces, it refused to budge and repelled the enemy's attack. This battle ensured the smooth start of the Long March of the Central Red Army.

1934 10, the red army began the long March, and the "little international division" left the central base area with the central red army. At the beginning of the Long March, 28-year-old General Peng took over as the teacher, and the political commissar was also taken over by Xiao Hua (according to the memoirs of General Xiao Hua and others and Zhou Enlai's suggestion, Xiao Hua served as the political commissar of the "Little International Division" from the beginning). Peng used to be the division commander of Red 1 Division, the model division commander of rejuvenating the country, the division commander of Red 5 Division and the division commander of Red 34 Division. He was one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Red Army. During the Long March, the "Little * * * International Division" has been responsible for covering the transfer of the main force of the Legion. In the process of fighting bloody battles and breaking through the enemy's four blockade lines in Xiangjiang River, the "Little * * * International Division" and Wu Gong Corps risked their lives to resist the indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes and heavy artillery with their flesh and blood, and smashed the enemy's attacks again and again with bayonets and grenades, but the "Little * * * International Division" itself lost more than half of its troops and was the last few troops.

1 935 in March, shortly after the Zunyi meeting, the Central Military Commission decided to reorganize the "Little * * * International Division" according to the needs of the struggle, and reorganized it into the Red 15 Army Division, which was composed of the Red Army Corps (12, 15) In this way, "Little * * * International Division" finally completed its historical mission.

As for the literary works of Little International Teacher, it is said that someone has written a long historical novel called Little International Teacher and a 20-episode TV series of the same name, both of which have high historical value. It's a pity that I didn't see these works, so I wrote this essay according to the information at hand to express my respect for the Red Army martyrs.
