Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

The lessons of the Ji-Re-Liao advance are there.

Now that the Central Committee was sending someone to oversee military affairs in the Northeast, they would definitely need a general who could convince those arrogant and powerful generals to obey their orders. Currently, the only military officials with such capabilities on the Central Committee were Xu Xiangqian, who was in charge of the Anti-Japanese University, and Lin Biao, who was in charge of military affairs at the Party School.

One of them was once the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army, and the other was once the commander of the First Corps and the commander of the 115th Division.

They all have experience and military achievements, and can subdue the arrogant and powerful soldiers on the front line.

The Commander-in-Chief said, "Comrade Lin Sui, please. Jin-Cha-Ji is the original 115th Division. Comrade Lin Biao is familiar with everyone in the division, so he didn't need to adjust before. Now there is no time for adjustment in the Northeast. What is needed is for me to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible so that the troops can launch a counterattack."

"Comrade Lin Biao is indeed suitable."

The chairman also nodded.

He said, "I think this is the way it is. Comrade Lin Biao will serve as Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Bureau and Commander of the Northeast Military Region. Comrade Chen Yun will continue to serve as Secretary of the Northeast Bureau and Political Commissar of the Northeast Military Region."

Chapter 606: Deploying Troops

After the Secretariat made the decision, the Central Committee quickly began to mobilize troops.

Lin Shuai, who was studying at the Central Party School, was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau and commander of the Northeast Military Region, with full responsibility for military affairs in the Northeast. Moreover, unlike Chen Yun and others who had gone to the Northeast this time, he was a lone commander.

The central government began to dispatch troops and cadres to accompany Lin Sui.

The Central Committee appointed Xiao Jinguang, deputy commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Shanxi-Suiyuan Joint Defense Army, as deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region. Li Tianyou, who graduated from the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union and returned to China last year, also followed Lin Biao to the Northeast.

At the same time, the 120st and nd Training Brigades were withdrawn from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Shanxi-Suiyuan Joint Defense Army and incorporated into the Northeast Military Region. However, the entire st and nd Training Brigades did not go to the Northeast, but instead left three regiments in Yan'an. These three regiments were formed into a new Training Brigade, officially incorporated into the th Division. Song Zhiyuan, former deputy commander of the nd Training Brigade, was appointed commander of the newly formed Training Brigade, with Zhang Zhongliang serving as political commissar.

The main force of the First Training Brigade was the Hebei-Shandong-Henan troops, which were originally from the 115th Brigade of the 344th Division. Counting back to the th Red Army Corps, which was led by Xu Haidong in northern Shaanxi.

The Second Teaching Brigade was composed of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops.

These were troops drawn from the Shanxi-Chahar and Shandong-Henan regions to defend Yan'an during the critical situation in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region in 1943. Now that the North China Front Army has reduced its forces, the pressure on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region has been greatly reduced.

Yan'an could draw troops from the Jinsui Military Region, so this time it sent the First Teaching Brigade and the Second Teaching Brigade to follow Marshal Lin to the Northeast.

Of course, another consideration for the Central Committee was that both the First and Second Training Brigades were from the 115th Division. The troops currently stationed in Northeast China were all from the Jin-Cha-Ji region, and with the First and Second Training Brigades, their origins were similar. Thus, all troops stationed in Northeast China, going back further, were from the 115th Division.

This makes it easier for Marshal Lin to command.

The Central Committee then began to coordinate with the various base areas, preparing to draw a group of local cadres from each base area and then enter the Northeast.

"Master."

"Master."

After receiving the order, Marshal Lin did not come with his troops.

The First and Second Training Brigades were handed over to Yang Dezhi, the commander of the First Training Brigade, while Marshal Lin and Xiao Jinguang rode as fast as they could to Jin-Cha-Yi, as he needed to draw troops from Jin-Cha-Yi to enter the Northeast Military Region.

Although he was the commander of the 115th Division.

However, the Jin-Cha-Ji Division and the 115th Division had long since separated. Now, within the Eighth Route Army hierarchy, the Jin-Cha-Ji Division is a parallel unit, alongside the 120th, 129th, and 115th Divisions. The Jin-Cha-Ji Division has also become a major stronghold.

If you want to transfer troops from Jin-Cha-Ji, you still need to coordinate with Jin-Cha-Ji in advance.

So he and Xiao Jinguang came to Jin-Cha-Ji to meet and coordinate with the leaders of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun also came to Zhangjiakou at the invitation of Marshal Nie. In Zhangjiakou, they met Marshal Lin.

The two men immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Even though Marshal Lin hadn't appeared on the battlefield for many years, he was the commander of a corps during the Red Army era, and they had been leaders for many years. How could they dare to neglect him in the slightest?

When Marshal Lin was in Yan'an, Wei Hongjun visited him.

But because Wang Qiuyun did not go to Yan'an, Marshal Lin had not seen Wang Qiuyun for many years. In fact, if Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun had not fought, Marshal Lin would have almost forgotten about Wang Qiuyun.

After all, the two of them were at too low a level before.

During the Red Army era, Wang Qiuyun was a renowned expert at luring the enemy, and Marshal Lin personally gave her orders and commended her. It was just too long ago, more than a decade ago.

This time, only Wei Hongjun and Wang Qiuyun stood together. If they had met outside, Marshal Lin would not have recognized Wang Qiuyun.

"Wang Qiuyun."

"arrive."

"it is good."

Lin Shuai nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, you have performed well in recent years."

Patted Wang Qiuyun's shoulder gently.

Wang Qiuyun was very excited to receive Marshal Lin's praise.

Back in the Central Soviet Area, everyone knew that Marshal Lin, commander of the First Corps, was the youngest and most promising general in the Central Red Army. Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun had been assigned to the First Corps since they officially joined the Red Army as Red Guards.

The admiration for Coach Lin is unmatched by anyone else.

Coach Lin doesn't talk much.

I didn't say much to the two of them, just briefly chatted about the past and left.

Wang Qiuyun looked at Marshal Lin's back and said to Wei Hongjun, "Has the division commander really become the commander of the Northeast Military Region?"

"Correct."

"That's great. You said our Ji-Re-Cha Military Region is so close to the Northeast. Will the division commander transfer our troops to the Northeast this time? That way, we can fight under the division commander again.

Wei Hongjun did not answer Wang Qiuyun's question.

Wei Hongjun knew that the main force of the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region would enter the Northeast. He just didn't know what the Jin-Cha-Yi side would choose: would the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region and the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region be directly merged into the Northeast Military Region, or would they simply transfer some troops to the Northeast?

The two entered Marshal Nie's headquarters and saw Marshal Nie frowning, so they shouted, "Report."

Marshal Nie looked up and saw Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun.

He waved his hand and asked the two people to sit down.

Marshal Nie was very proud of Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun, two rising stars of the Jin-Cha-Ji region, but at the same time he felt helpless. He didn't hide anything and said to the two, "Have you met Comrade Lin Sui?"

"I saw you outside."

"This time, the Central Committee appointed Comrade Lin Biao as Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Bureau and Commander of the Northeast Military Region in order to give Comrade Lin Biao full responsibility for military affairs in the Northeast. Furthermore, the Central Committee approved the Northeast Bureau's application to send more troops and cadres to the Northeast."

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun listened quietly.

Ever since Wei Hongjun proposed the "Northeast Strategy" to the Central Committee, he understood that this day would inevitably come.

In every respect, the Northeast possessed advantages unmatched by other bases. This was particularly true of its industry, which Yan'an could not relinquish. With the situation now increasingly favorable for the Eighth Route Army, the Central Committee certainly could not let the Northeast go.

But the Northeast is a strange place after all.

The Northeast Bureau now has a foundation, but further development will inevitably require more troops and cadres.

"The Central Committee has drawn the First and Second Training Brigades from the Joint Defense Army. After leaving three regiments in Yan'an, the rest of the troops will follow Comrade Yang Dezhi into the Northeast. The troops have already set out and are on their way. We in the Jin-Cha-Yi region will also send six brigades into the Northeast.

"Commander, are you going to mobilize so many troops?"

Wei Hongjun took a deep breath.

The current brigades of the Jin-Cha-Ji region generally consist of over 10,000 troops. A major brigade like the First Brigade of the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region boasts a strength of 14,000. Even smaller brigade-level units have around 7,000 to 8,000 men. The Jin-Cha-Ji region is deploying six brigades to the Northeast, meaning they will be deploying around 60,000 to 70,000 troops.

Although the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region developed rapidly and had a large number of troops.

However, withdrawing 600 to 700 million people was still a large number for the Jin-Cha-Yi wing. Most of the main forces of the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region and the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region had to go to the Northeast.

Marshal Nie nodded.

He said, "I just talked to the Communist Party comrades. The Communist Party comrades are planning to establish a field army in the Northeast. A total of three columns will be formed, each with at least three brigades under its command. Comrade Deng Hua will personally lead the troops from the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Military Region to join forces with Comrade Cheng Shihua's 10th Brigade to form the Third Column of the Northeast Military Region. Comrade Deng Hua will serve as the commander and political commissar of the Third Column. The First and Second Training Brigade, plus one more brigade, will form the First Column of the Northeast Military Region. Comrade Yang Dezhi will serve as the commander of the First Column, and Comrade Su Zhenhua, the political commissar of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, will be transferred to serve as the political commissar of the First Column."

Marshal Nie looked at Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun and said, "From your Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region, transfer four brigades. One brigade will be incorporated into the First Column. The remaining three brigades will be organized into the Second Column of the Northeast Military Region. Comrade Wang Qiuyun will serve as commander, and Comrade Wei Hongjun as political commissar. Most of the troops currently in the Northeast will be reorganized into local units."

After Marshal Nie finished speaking, neither Wang Qiuyun nor Wei Hongjun spoke immediately.

Because both of them need to digest what Marshal Nie said.

Wang Qiuyun was considering which troops to take with him. If Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun were ruthless, they could take away all the elite troops of the Jirecha Military Region by withdrawing four brigades from the Jirecha Military Region.

Wei Hongjun was thinking, should he just go to the Northeast Military Region like this?

So he asked, "Commander, do you mean that from now on, Comrade Wang Qiuyun and I will no longer be cadres of the Jin-Cha-Yi Military Region, but will become cadres of the Northeast Military Region?"

Marshal Nie looked at Wei Hongjun and shook his head.

He said: "Wang Qiuyun will indeed be a cadre of the Northeast Military Region in the future. This time when Wang Qiuyun goes to the Northeast, in addition to serving as the commander of the Second Column, he will also serve as the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region and the deputy commander of the Northeast Field Army.

But you are still a cadre of my Jin-Cha-Ji region. Although this time you will go to the Northeast to serve as Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Bureau, Deputy Political Commissar of the Northeast Military Region, and Deputy Political Commissar of the Northeast Field Army, you are only temporarily seconded to the Northeast. After completing your work there, you will still have to return.

In fact, both Chen Yun and Lin Shuai wanted to take Wei Hongjun directly to the Northeast.

After all, Wei Hongjun had developed some powerful men in the Chahar-Suiyuan Military Region and the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region, and Chen Yun and Marshal Lin were willing to bring such cadres with them.

But Marshal Nie did not give in.

So this time Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun led the troops to the Northeast. Although Wei Hongjun had a position in the Northeast Bureau, he was still seconded. Because of Wei Hongjun's problem, Marshal Nie personally sent a telegram to Yan'an, hoping that the Central Committee would agree to keep Wei Hongjun.

Marshal Nie is a highly organized cadre.

It was rare for the Central Committee to raise conditions with the Party regarding cadre issues. This time, however, conditions were raised for Wei Hongjun, and the Central Committee gave Marshal Nie ample face. After all, Jin-Cha-Ji was constantly transferring troops and cadres to the Northeast for the Northeastern strategy. The Central Committee, seeking to appease Jin-Cha-Ji, agreed to Marshal Nie's proposal and seconded Wei Hongjun to the Northeast to participate in the development of the base area. However, he would still have to return to Jin-Cha-Ji when needed.

Although the Central Committee agreed to Marshal Nie's request, Marshal Nie was not sure whether Wei Hongjun would stay in the Northeast or return to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.

Because if the Central Committee finally insisted on keeping Wei Hongjun in the Northeast, Marshal Nie would not object.

"You two should discuss this after you return. See how the Yirecha Military Region will handle its work after you two leave. Also, quickly select the four brigades that will enter Northeast China. Once the First and Second Training Brigades arrive in Rehe, you will all enter Northeast China together."

Chapter 607: Arrangements of the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region

Meeting of the Party Committee of the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region.

Everyone was silent.

These troops of the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region were originally separated from the Eighth Column. Everyone in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region built the Eighth Column and established the Yi-Re-Cha Military Region, a secondary military region.

But now?

The Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region is going to divide its troops again.

Everyone's mood right now is very complicated. On the one hand, they feel excited, and on the other hand, they feel regretful.

The excitement was because those present were all high-ranking officers from the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region. Now that the Central Committee had decided to deploy a large number of troops to Northeast China, everyone understood what this meant. With Germany's surrender in Europe, Japan's survival would be short-lived. With so many troops pouring into Northeast China, it was clear that the Central Committee was determined to liberate the region. With the hope of victory in the War of Resistance right before our eyes, how could we not be excited?

Let me say something selfishly: entering the Northeast is a good opportunity for promotion.

The Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region is now largely stable, leaving little room for advancement. However, the Northeast is currently a blank canvas, and a large influx of troops would expand the military. Then everyone would have a chance.

Moreover, Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun were both high-ranking personnel entering the Northeast this time. Not to mention Wei Hongjun's position as Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Army, the two of them alone were Deputy Commander and Deputy Political Commissar of the Northeast Military Region.

Now the troops are following them to the Northeast, and their future is bright.
