Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Wei Hongjun couldn't bear to listen any longer.

Originally, Wei Hongjun was planning to be a little ostrich.

But Xiao Zijing went too far. During the Rectification Movement, Xiao Zijing criticized Marshal Nie, starting with the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and continuing all the way to Yan'an. Wei Hongjun initially didn't want to get involved. After all, for a cadre of Marshal Nie's rank, criticism and self-criticism were mandatory.

And it won't be a big deal.

Historically, Xiao Zijing and his colleagues had consistently criticized Marshal Nie, from the Jin-Cha-Ji region all the way to Yan'an. However, in the end, Chairman Mao affirmed Marshal Nie's achievements in the Jin-Cha-Ji region, and Marshal Nie was eventually returned to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. Marshal Nie's performance in the Jin-Cha-Ji region is far superior to what it was in the past, so there shouldn't be any doubt about it. But today, in this context, Wei Hongjun couldn't contain his anger. He had accused Xiao Zijing of far too many crimes.

Wei Hongjun stood up and said, "Everyone present here knows the relationship between us and the Kuomintang. Since the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth National Congress of the Kuomintang, our two sides have been at loggerheads, reaching a climax during the Anhui-Southern Incident. Comrade Xiao Zijing criticized the Shanxi-Chahar-Yihe Left-leaning adventurism, which led to the Kuomintang's blockade and suppression of our party and army. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse and confusing right and wrong?"

"Besides, the 'Yixian Conference' was a successful one, and it was also a conference that marked the great development of the Jin-Cha-Ji region." After the Yixian Conference, our Jin-Cha-Ji region expanded rapidly in Hebei, occupying 90% of the towns and villages in central Hebei. If this is left-wing adventurism, then according to Comrade Xiao Zijing, shouldn't our Jin-Cha-Ji forces take advantage of the North China Front Army's weakness to advance into Hebei?"

"Since the Yixian Conference, our Jin-Cha-Ji troops have won battle after battle. The size of the troops has expanded rapidly, the area of ​​the base area has doubled, and the population of the base area has exceeded 3000 million. If the Yixian Conference was left-wing adventurism, then why did the Jin-Cha-Ji troops continue to win battles after the Yixian Conference, and how did the Jin-Cha-Ji base area continue to expand?"

Wei Hongjun was really angry.

The achievements of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region are there, how can you slander them and erase them? Historically, the reason why Marshal Nie was severely criticized was mainly because he lost the Ji-Zhong Military Region.

The greatest responsibility for the loss of the Jizhong Military Region must lie with Lu Zhengchao and other Jizhong Military Region cadres, but Marshal Nie, as the top leader of the Party, government, and military of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, did make many mistakes. He initially underestimated the North China Front Army's sweep of the Jizhong Military Region, and therefore made no preparations.

The Beiyue District troops didn't arrive to support the Jizhong Military Region until several days into their sweep. Later, they were too pessimistic about the situation in Jizhong and hastily transferred their main forces. A once-perfect Jizhong Military Region was completely dismantled.

Therefore, historically, there were many complaints within the Jin-Cha-Ji Army against Marshal Nie. Without the Ji-Zhong Military Region, the Jin-Cha-Ji Army was really struggling.

Poor as hell.

But in this time and space, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region not only did not lose the Central Military Region, but actually greatly expanded its territory. Wei Hongjun could not accept such criticism of Marshal Nie.

"Comrade Wei Hongjun has only been involved in the revolution for a short time and has no idea of ​​the harm caused by a wrong line. Under the guidance of a wrong line, even if there is a temporary victory, it will only be a tactical victory; it will be a strategic failure. We must analyze the problems existing in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and consider them from a strategic perspective. Only under the correct line and path can Jin-Cha-Ji achieve greater development."

Xiao Zijing directly pointed out that Wei Hongjun had little experience.

The subtext is, you are a kid, what do you know? Don't interrupt.

But Wei Hongjun had already stood up, so he couldn't back down. So, he said directly, "Back when I was in the Soviet area, I heard that if the line was wrong, then winning a battle was wrong. And if the line was right, then losing a battle was also right. I didn't understand why at the time. Even though I was winning, I was criticized for having the wrong line. Even though I was losing, I was still stubborn."

Now, after hearing Comrade Xiao Zijing's confession, I finally understand everything. So this is what happened.

Many people present looked at Wei Hongjun.

During the meetings these past few days, someone who seemed quiet turned out to be so sharp. Wei Hongjun was referring to the criticisms of Chairman Mao by those who studied in the Soviet area. He was referring to Xiao Zijing as one of those who studied in the Soviet area.

Xiao Zijing was furious.

I didn't expect Wei Hongjun to be so sharp-tongued.

Xiao Zijing was also dissatisfied with Wei Hongjun. He had originally proposed to the Central Committee to establish the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Advance Army to integrate Hebei East, Pingbei, Rehe and other places.

The central government had the same idea at the time.

However, it was precisely because of the sudden rise of the 8th Column that the Central Committee decided to establish the Jireliao Advance Army. All work in Chahar was handed over to the 8th Column. He was dissatisfied that with his seniority, he had to give way to juniors like Wang Qiuyun and the 8th Column.

Seeing Wei Hongjun say this, Xiao Zijing said directly: "You only see that the Jin-Cha-Ji troops have been winning battles before, but you have not seen the changes in the Japanese puppet troops and the Kuomintang stubborn troops. Everything is changing. The Jin-Cha-Ji troops are about to usher in the most difficult period. This is precisely the consequence of the mistakes made in the Jin-Cha-Ji route.

Chapter 537: Slamming the Table and Cursing

"Yes. Those who fail to plan for the future will inevitably suffer immediate worries. Now, both Jin-Cha-Ji and other Eighth Route Army units are facing the most difficult situation. This is all due to the wrong choices made by Jin-Cha-Ji."

"Some comrades have risen to positions too quickly and don't understand how to look at things from a higher perspective."

"The route issue must be sorted out."

After Xiao Zijing finished speaking, quite a few people agreed with him.

All those here are cadres from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.

While all of them were cadres from the Jin-Cha-Ji region, some achieved success, while others failed. For example, Yang Quanwu, Wang Qiuyun, and Wei Hongjun all achieved success during the region's rapid development. However, many cadres were unable to adapt to the region's development or to the fighting during the War of Resistance, forcing them to return to Yan'an for further study or remain in logistics offices.

Of course, in addition to these military cadres, there are also many local cadres.

Local cadres, like military cadres, have their ups and downs. Now everyone is gathered together to review the work of the Jinchayi branch. There are really all sorts of opinions, all kinds of voices.

Wei Hongjun was furious at this point. These people were truly lying, so he said, "Comrade Xiao Zijing, since your line was correct and your position was high enough, why did the Ji-Re-Liao Advance Army fail to develop under your leadership? Since you left the Re-Liao Advance Army, the Yi-Re-Liao Military Region is now developing so rapidly. If you had applied your boastful rhetoric to your work, the Yi-Re-Liao Advance Army wouldn't have stagnated."

"Bang" Xiao Zijing was very angry.

Because Wei Hongjun directly punctured his lungs.

The failure of the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army's advance was a huge blow to him. Originally, the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army's advance was a great opportunity for him. He had a tense relationship with General He in the 120th Division, but in the end, Yan'an supported General He. So he had no choice but to leave the 120th Division, and his departure from the 120th Division was quite disastrous. The dignified deputy commander of the 120th Division was unable to take many people with him when he left the 120th Division. When Deng Guo left the 120st Division to establish the Pingxi Detachment, he not only took away the main force of the st Division, the rd Regiment, but also the student cadres of the st Division's political department. In comparison, Xiao Zijing was almost driven out of the th Division.

Fortunately, I have the opportunity to develop an independent base. If I can carve out a base in Yireliao, it can also be developed into a strategic area. I can even rival Marshal Nie and his men, and maybe I can even pursue the Marshal.

However, his performance in the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Advance Army was so poor that he was eventually called back to Yan'an.

To put it nicely, he was appointed to the preparatory group for the Seventh National Congress. To put it bluntly, Yan'an was dissatisfied with his work with the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army. Of course, what further irritated him was the lack of progress he had made with the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army. However, after Deng Guo arrived at the Ji-Re-Liaoning Military Region, his achievements in just a few months surpassed those he had achieved in the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army over several years. The better Deng Guo performed in the Ji-Re-Liaoning Military Region, the more Xiao Zijing's failure in the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army became apparent. This fact was widely known, so no one would mention the Ji-Re-Liaoning Army in his presence.

But Wei Hongjun brought it up so blatantly.

And it's direct irony.

So Xiao Zijing sent the table directly. Others did the same. Someone stood up and pointed at Wei Hongjun's nose and said, "What kind of place is this? You have the right to speak like this. How can you not know the immensity of the world after fighting on the front line for several years?"

There are also many people who dislike Wei Hongjun, or are jealous of him.

After all, Wei Hongjun was considered the fastest-rising officer in the Eighth Route Army. Originally a battalion-level officer in the Red Army, he became a company-level officer in the Eighth Route Army after the reorganization. But how high was Wei Hongjun's rank now? Within the military, he was already the acting political commissar of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

Who are the current leaders of the second-level military regions of the Eighth Route Army?

Like the 129th Division, there are Chen Geng, Chen Zai Lai, Yang Dezhi and others.

On the Jin-Cha-Ji side, there are people like Yang Quanwu, Deng Guo, Zhao Lu, and Huang Yong.

Wei Hongjun, a battalion-level cadre in the Red Army and a company-level cadre in the Eighth Route Army, is now on par with the army and division commanders of the Red Army era. He has surpassed countless brigade and regimental commanders, and even some division commanders of the Red Army era.

Moreover, Wei Hongjun not only held a high position in the military, but also in the Party, serving as the Party Secretary of the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Border Region, the top leader of the local Party committee in the region.

The value of this position is very high.

Wei Hongjun's promotion speed is so annoying and enviable.

Wei Hongjun didn't back down at all. He said directly, "Why? You don't allow people to speak during meetings? If you don't allow people to speak, then why did you ask us to come? I'm a Party member. My right to speak is granted to us by the Party Central Committee. Do you want to deprive us of our right to speak? Otherwise, you can change the Party Constitution and we won't attend meetings anymore."

"That's right. XXXXXX, just don't invite us to meetings next time."

Ji Ting, who served as the chief of staff of the Fifth District, stood up and cursed.

He couldn't stand listening any longer.

He joined the Eighth Route Army and the revolution in 37. Marshal Nie was his introducer to the Party. He was originally in the First Division, but his relationship with Yang Quanwu was mediocre. Just now, he joined others in cursing Yang Quanwu.

But he just wanted to vent his frustration.

But now someone is actually accusing Nie Shuai of something, and it's such a serious line-breaking accusation, he can't stand it anymore. He can't help but curse, it's really a national curse. When he said this, the venue immediately became chaotic.

Wei Hongjun makes many people jealous and envious.

But Wei Hongjun is, after all, a genuine Red Army veteran, having joined the army in 29. He participated in the arduous Long March and was a member of the "Double First Class" cadre class. Furthermore, Wei Hongjun is currently the Party Secretary of the Jin-Cha-Ji-Yi-Re-Cha Border Region, holding a high position within the Party.

So they didn't think anything of the quarrel with Wei Hongjun.

This was a quarrel between the old Red Army soldiers and old party members.

But when Ji Ting spoke up, they were deeply displeased. Ji Ting, you joined the Eighth Route Army after the July 7 Incident, and at the time, your unit had suffered a commander's defection. If Yang Quanwu hadn't pursued the matter, and Marshal Nie hadn't been lenient, would Ji Ting even be sitting here? Everyone here is a senior Party cadre. You, a member of the Party for only five years, have no right to speak here, let alone curse.

Most of those present were veteran Red Army soldiers and veteran Party members. Many of them, like Wei Hongjun, came from eight generations of poor peasant families and had little education.

Each of them had led troops in battle for years, and their tempers were fiery. They immediately stood up and began to curse, all kinds of national curses emanating from the mouths of these senior cadres. Some even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight. Although they were all cadres from the Jin-Cha-Yi Army, there were many differences between them. Marshal Nie, Wei Hongjun, and others had come from the front lines.

However, many cadres returned to Yan'an very early. Although they had been in Yan'an for several years, they were still subordinate to the Jin-Cha-Ji cadres.

So there were seventy or eighty people attending this meeting.

The commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji troops who came with Wei Hongjun, although currently reorganized into the Second Training Brigade of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Shanxi-Suiyuan Joint Defense Army, was still a Jin-Cha-Ji cadre and also attended this meeting.

They were of low rank and didn't speak at first.

But after Luo Renfa and Wei Hongjun spoke up, and Ji Ting cursed, they all stood up. Because everyone shared the same fate. If the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, led by Marshal Nie, made a mistake in its policy, then these cadres would be affected.

Of course, they are of low level and some people don’t quite understand.

But their immediate superiors, Luo Renfa and Wei Hongjun, were furious, and of course they were ready to rush out. Someone unfamiliar with the venue might have mistaken it for a vegetable market, completely failing to sense that this was a meeting of senior Jin-Cha-Ji officials.

The venue was in complete chaos.

Chen Yun, who had been silent in the meeting room, lightly slapped the table.

But everyone was arguing, and no one heard anything. Seeing this, Chen Yun increased his force and banged on the table. Everyone then looked at Chen Yun. Chen Yun said angrily: "What are you doing? Sit down. This is a meeting of senior cadres of the Jinchayi Army, not a market for you to fight. You are all senior cadres of the Party and the army, and you don't even have this little bit of self-awareness."

Everyone sat down only after seeing Chen Yun speak.

At Chen Yun's level, who dared to say anything more? Chen Yun was not a Jin-Cha-Ji cadre. This time he was just attending the Jin-Cha-Ji senior cadre meeting to listen to the rectification meeting here. In fact, his visit was just a routine matter. He didn't expect something so serious to happen.

If it wasn't too serious, he wouldn't interrupt.

Because this is Jin Cha Yi’s own internal matter.

"Everyone, if you have something to say, please speak your mind. Don't curse or use physical force. Comrade Wei Hongjun, please speak your mind. If you have something to say, please speak your mind. Don't make personal attacks."

"Yes."

Chen Yun warned Wei Hongjun.

While this is criticism, many see it as something completely different. What is Chen Yun's rank? He's a Party Central Committee leader who once served as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee. He currently serves as the Organization Department Minister, a very high-ranking position.

When such a big shot specifically called out Wei Hongjun's name, the meaning was completely different.

Either he was very dissatisfied with Wei Hongjun's behavior and wanted to teach him a lesson, or he was trying to protect Wei Hongjun and persuade him to be honest with him.

Chen Yun continued, "This is a Party meeting. Since everyone is a Party member, everyone has the right to speak. Our Party practices democratic centralism, and allowing Party members to speak freely in meetings is its most important characteristic. Individual comrades cannot rely on their seniority to silence others; this is a 'warlord style.'"

Compared with what was said about Wei Hongjun, Chen Yun's words were very serious.

The cadre who had just pointed at Wei Hongjun and scolded him, saying that he had no right to speak, now had a grim expression on his face. Chen Yun saw that everyone had calmed down and said, "You can continue. But you must observe discipline."

Seeing that Chen Yun was only criticizing the recent overreaction and hadn't commented on his own criticism of Marshal Nie, Xiao Zijing immediately said, "It's a good thing that comrades are arguing heatedly. This shows that our rectification movement is allowing everyone to speak freely and express their own opinions. My attitude just now was also a bit heated, and I want to say this to all comrades. But I still say that we must thoroughly eradicate the line errors that exist in the Jin-Cha-Yi faction."

Chapter 538: Marshal Nie's Proclamation

It's really lively here in Jin-Cha-Ji.

Originally, they were just reviewing the problems in Jin-Cha-Ji's development over the years, but unexpectedly, the situation had completely changed. Xiao Zijing insisted that Jin-Cha-Ji had made mistakes in its policy, and the cadres from Jin-Cha-Ji could not accept it.

They were all rough men from humble beginnings, veterans of military service, so cursing and swearing were commonplace at the meeting. Chen Yun was very busy and only attended two meetings; he was absent the rest of the time.

Sometimes Peng Zhen would come over. He was a serious Jin-Cha-Ji cadre, having previously served as the secretary of the Jin-Cha-Ji branch. But Peng Zhen was also busy with work, so he didn't come often.

As a result, the two sides quarreled fiercely and the situation became more intense.
