Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Chen Yun asked Wei Hongjun with a smile.

Wei Hongjun nodded.

"Yes, after we enter Changchun, we have to coax them, or should I say, appease them. Although the central government has deployed a large number of cadres to the Northeast during this period, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the current needs of the Northeast. This time we enter Changchun, there must be a severe shortage of city management cadres. So how do we stabilize Changchun? We need to rely on the original staff of the puppet Manchukuo government. Therefore, my suggestion is to take over the puppet Manchukuo government agencies intactly from top to bottom in accordance with the organizational structure of the puppet Manchukuo government. Letting these puppet Manchukuo government staff work with peace of mind is the fastest way for us to stabilize the order in Changchun. For the various agencies of the puppet Manchukuo government, we should take over first and then manage them. These people should also be used first, then screened, and finally personnel adjustments should be made.

Chen Yun listened carefully to Wei Hongjun's advice.

Of all the current CCP cadres, the one with the most experience in taking over cities is Wei Hongjun. This is because he has taken over the most cities and even served as the director of the Zhangjiakou Military Control Commission for several months.

In this regard, senior central leaders like Chen Yun should listen carefully to Wei Hongjun's advice.

Wei Hongjun continued, "After entering Changchun, we prioritized transportation, power supply, water supply, and communications. This meant we couldn't allow the daily lives of Changchun residents to be impacted. Cities, after all, are not rural areas, and they have larger populations. Once problems arise in the daily lives of urban residents, the city will be in chaos. Therefore, as long as we stabilize the lives of urban residents, we should be able to stabilize Changchun in a short period of time. As for what needs to be done after stabilizing Changchun, I've written about it in the report. It's just that I haven't had time to elaborate on many of them yet."

When conquering a city, the most dangerous time is the first few days after conquering the city.

If the situation wasn't properly controlled at this point, chaos would inevitably follow. This was especially true given the large number of traitors still present in Changchun, and the Kuomintang secret service would have deployed a large number of personnel to prevent the Eighth Route Army from quickly taking control of the city. Even if such chaos were later brought under control, the consequences would be disastrous. After capturing a city, quickly stabilizing urban order without disrupting the lives of ordinary people was a crucial test for an organization and a unit.

The more Chen Yun looked at Wei Hongjun, the more he liked him.

Although the two had met in Yan'an and discussed some things, they did not really start working together until the establishment of the Northeast Bureau.

During this year's collaboration, Chen Yun really liked Wei Hongjun.

This time, after Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun led their troops into the Northeast, Chen Yun really wanted to keep Wei Hongjun in the Northeast. Chen Yun had previously thought about transferring Wei Hongjun up after the Second Column captured Changchun.

Let Wei Hongjun be his deputy and truly perform the duties of deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau.

Unexpectedly, before he could take action, Jin Chayi took action first and took Wei Hongjun back.

"You've only been in the Northeast for a few days, and now you have to go back." Chen Yun wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

In the end, he just patted Wei Hongjun on the shoulder.

Wei Hongjun saluted Marshal Lin and Chen Yun and said, "Commander and Political Commissar, take care.

"Go."

Watching Wei Hongjun leave, Chen Yun sighed and said, "He's a rare cadre who excels in both military and political aspects. It's a pity he couldn't stay in our Northeast."

"Well, the ability is good."

Marshal Lin nodded.

Marshal Lin's most important impression of Wei Hongjun was that he had strong strategic capabilities.

As for Wei Hongjun's specific abilities, Marshal Lin was not yet familiar with them. After all, Wei Hongjun had been with Marshal Lin in Northeast China for less than two months. Marshal Lin regretted that Wei Hongjun hadn't been able to stay in Northeast China, but not as much as Chen Yun.

Because Marshal Lin prefers those generals who fight in battles.

As the situation changes, the central government is sending more and more cadres to the Northeast. In the future, the Northeast will definitely not be short of capable fighters and both civil and military talents.

"You want to go to Jin Cha Ji?"

"Yes. It's an order from the central government."

"Then we're not really going to separate from now on. Why don't you write a report and stay in Northeast China? There's revolution everywhere. Or how about I write a report and go back to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei with you?"

Wang Qiuyun was very dissatisfied.

The two were from the same hometown, from the same Red Guard. They had been partners since before the Fifth Anti-Encirclement and Suppression Campaign, and had been together for eight years during the War of Resistance, for almost a decade. Now that one remained in the Northeast and the other had returned to Jin-Cha-Yi, Wang Qiuyun felt truly uncomfortable.

"What did you say?"

Wei Hongjun looked around and found no one else besides Xu Luomin and Han Weiguo. So, Wei Hongjun immediately said, "Old Wang, don't you know that there are things you can and can't say? Cadre appointments are handled by the organization. From now on, just lead your troops and fight well, and don't get involved in other matters."

"Okay, okay, I'll review it."

Wang Qiuyun immediately admitted her mistake.

Seeing him like this, Wei Hongjun was still worried. So he said to Han Weiguo and Xu Luomin, "You two should keep a close eye on him from now on. Don't let him do anything out of line. Our Second Column is in the Northeast. Just follow the commander and political commissar and fight well."

"Commissar, don't worry.

"Yes, we are watching."

"There is another point to remember. Our Second Column, including the East Manchuria Military Region and the West Manchuria Military Region, has a large number of cadres from the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region, many of whom are your old comrades. Our Hebei-Rehe-Chahar cadres are already very conspicuous in the Northeast, and the more we need to keep a low profile at this time, the more we must respect the cadres sent by the Central Committee or the Northeast Bureau. We must not have factionalism." In the future, there will be a large number of cadres sent from other places, and we must work together with them to maintain unity. And if the commander or political commissar wants our Second Column to do something, or even wants to transfer some cadres or troops from our Second Column, we must not object. On the contrary, you must respond positively. Lao Wang, especially you. Don't make any mistakes in this regard.

Just remember, our Second Column is a military unit, and fighting is our top priority. As long as we fight well on the battlefield, then all other problems will be solved."

Wei Hongjun was of course worried.

The Eighth Column is too strong in the Northeast Military Region.

The troops from Hebei, Rehe and Chahar account for 40% of the current military forces in Northeast China.

The East Manchuria Military Region and the West Manchuria Military Region were filled with cadres from Hebei, Rehe and Chahar. But it happened that none of the cadres from Hebei, Rehe and Chahar in the Northeast could support such a large organization.

Wei Hongjun's position as deputy secretary of the Northeast Army, and Wang Qiuyun's positions as deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region and deputy commander of the Northeast Field Army, were more of a reward for the Yirecha troops, rather than a real position of these two people in the Northeast.

Now that Wei Hongjun has left, he's worried the Ji-Re-Cha troops will become "unruly." Marshal Lin and Chen Yun are in charge now, and in a few days, a bunch of Politburo and Central Committee members will arrive. He absolutely cannot be the first to step forward at this time.

"Old Wei, don't worry. We will not hesitate in the fight."

Although Wang Qiuyun is not very sensitive to politics.

But after all, he had experienced the anti-counterrevolutionary campaign in the Soviet area and the Yan'an Rectification Movement.

"Commissar, we understand."

Han Weiguo nodded.

In fact, Wei Hongjun had high hopes for Han Weiguo. Han Weiguo came from the underground party and had worked in the political department for many years. He was a very rigorous person.

Looking at Wang Qiuyun and the others, Wei Hongjun was also reluctant to leave.

But that's how revolutionary work works. This time, we're going to split up completely. Wei Hongjun looked at Wang Qiuyun, Han Weiguo, and Xu Luomin and said, "I won't meet the others. You can tell them after the battle of Changchun. There's no need to look at me like that. I think the current revolutionary situation is very good. After the revolution succeeds in a few years, we can meet again."

Chapter 618 Return to Jin-Cha-Ji

After arranging the work of the Second Column, Wei Hongjun immediately set out from the Northeast.

To save time, Wei Hongjun rode captured military trucks. Starting from Changchun, they passed through Shuangliao, entered Tongliao, and finally reached Chifeng. Whether in Shuangliao, Tongliao, or Chifeng, the troops along the way were all from the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region, allowing Wei Hongjun to pass through smoothly, making it easy to resupply supplies and change vehicles.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army seized a lot of vehicles.

As long as there is gasoline, you can run. Although the road conditions in this era are not good and the car engine technology is not advanced enough, you can still run hundreds of kilometers a day, even thousands of miles.

Anyway, the Eighth Route Army bases are all along the way.

If the car broke down, he would repair it if it could be repaired, otherwise he would use a three-wheeled motorcycle. As long as he could get to the next base, Wei Hongjun would change his mode of transportation. Anyway, Wei Hongjun really didn't dare to delay or make any mistakes.

Wei Hongjun didn't start to rest until he arrived at Pingsui Road and got on the train.

It took Wei Hongjun less than a week to reach Zhangjiakou, a distance of 2000 kilometers, and he went directly to the military district headquarters. When he entered the headquarters, he saw Nie Shuai, Luo Qirong, Zhao Lu, Zhu Liangcai and others inside.

"Report."

"are you tired."

"It's okay. I took a car all the way, and the car was driven by others."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Marshal Nie was very happy to see Wei Hongjun arrive.

He immediately poured Wei Hongjun a glass of water and said, "Drink some water and take a rest.

"Gudong gudong, Wei Hongjun is indeed very tired.

After all, I didn't get much rest along the way.

But Wei Hongjun knew that the Jin-Cha-Ji side had transferred him back so hastily because of something important. So after drinking the water, Wei Hongjun immediately said, "Commander, I'm fine. Is there anything the organization wants to assign to me?"

"it is good."

Coach Nie likes Wei Hongjun's mental state.

Although I am physically tired, it does not affect my work.

Marshal Nie looked at Wei Hongjun and said, "Recently, there have been some changes in our Jin-Cha-Ji region. Based on the current changes in the anti-Japanese situation, especially in the Northeast, the Central Committee has ordered our Jin-Cha-Ji region to once again deploy troops to the Northeast. Comrade Cheng Zhihua has been transferred to the Northeast to serve as a member of the Northeast Bureau.

Comrade Huang Yong, commander of the Hebei-Shandong Military Region, transferred three brigades of troops from the Hebei-Shandong Military Region and entered the Northeast through the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Military Region.

Wei Hongjun was very surprised.

But it's understandable.

With the situation in Northeast China shifting so rapidly, Yan'an was determined to seize control of the region. To control the region, the central government needed to deploy more troops and cadres. Therefore, it was understandable that troops were being drawn from the nearby Jin-Cha-Ji region. After all, Jin-Cha-Ji was not only close to the Northeast but also so well-developed. It was truly a strong military presence.

But Wei Hongjun was still worried about Jin-Cha-Ji.

Jin-Cha-Ji had already dispatched countless troops to the Northeast. In total, they numbered over ten brigades, totaling over 100,000 men. Furthermore, these troops were all Jin-Cha-Ji field troops, fully armed and highly combat-capable. If so many troops remained in Jin-Cha-Ji, what would Jin-Cha-Ji fear from the Nationalist forces? They wouldn't even need any generals; with so many troops, they could easily crush the Nationalist forces.

"In addition to our Jin-Cha-Ji troops, Comrade Lü Zhengchao led three regiments of troops from the Jin-Suiyuan Military Region to the Northeast.

Wei Hongjun did not interrupt.

These are normal transfers. Beyond these troops, the Central Committee will soon dispatch a large number of high-ranking cadres to the Northeast to strengthen its leadership. By then, not only will members and alternate members of the Central Committee be dispatched, but even several members of the Politburo will be sent. And it won't just be the Jin-Cha-Ji troops; it's likely that troops from the Shandong Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will also be dispatched to the Northeast.

But it seemed to have nothing to do with Jin Chayi's rush to call Wei Hongjun over. Marshal Nie sighed and said, "Not long ago, Hu Zongnan, Yan Xishan, and Fu Zuoyi all began to make moves. Hu Zongnan suddenly mobilized nine armies, sending troops into western Henan and southern Shanxi, beginning to encroach on the 9th Division's base and engaging in battle with the Central Plains Military Region. Yan Xishan also began mobilizing troops into the Tongpu Road area.

"The Japanese army doesn't care?"

"The Japanese army knows their own situation. What can they do now? And did you know that the Americans dropped a super bomb on Hiroshima, Japan the day before yesterday?

"I heard about it on the way here."

Truman was very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's self-assertion.

So, after the Soviets attacked the Kwantung Army, the United States chose to drop the atomic bomb on the Japanese. Truman wanted to show the Soviets that even if the US Army and Navy couldn't reach the Far East before the Soviets, the possession of such a powerful weapon would make the Soviets think twice.

The explosion of the atomic bomb had a particularly great impact.

The cadres Wei Hongjun met along the way all asked him what this super bomb was.

The same is true for Nie Shuai now.

Marshal Nie had studied chemistry and had heard of the concept of atomic weapons. But he never imagined that a country had actually developed atomic weapons, or even such a super-bomb. Marshal Nie said seriously, "I heard that this super-bomb could destroy the entire Hiroshima with one drop, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people. The appearance of such a super-bomb on the battlefield is not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Also, after the Soviet army raided the Kwantung Army, the Trans-Baikal Front broke through the Japanese defenses, and the vanguard troops had already crossed Hulunbuir and reached Qiqihar.

The Coastal Front Army has already reached Mudanjiang, where the Kwantung Army troops began to collapse after just three days of defending. The Far Eastern Front Army has also reached Qiqihar. Japan's surrender is only a matter of days, and those Japanese troops are busy looking for a way out and don't care about these things.

Marshal Nie sighed.

The development of the situation far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Originally, Yan'an had thought they would have half a month to a month to react. However, less than ten days had passed since the Soviets launched their attack on the Kwantung Army. The situation had become so clear. The Soviets' strength was certainly a factor. But unexpectedly, the United States suddenly dropped a massive bomb on Japan, directly destroying an entire city.

The power of intimidation is too great.
