Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Among the troops from Shandong, the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region left behind the 10000th Division led by Yang Guofu, totaling approximately men. The Ji-Re-Liao Military Region had been in Northeast China for a year and had a deep foundation there. Furthermore, after entering Shenyang, they had seized a significant amount of weapons and ammunition.

Therefore, after Yang Guofu's Seventh Division arrived in the Northeast, they were equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition. Deng Guo also added some new soldiers to the Seventh Division, bringing the Seventh Division's troops to about 15000.

Yang Guofu's 25th Division, in cooperation with the troops of the Jireliao Military Region, ambushed the 25th Division. The troop strength advantage was very large, almost three times that of the 52th Division. However, the 52nd Army was also an elite unit of the National Army, with good weapons and equipment and strong combat effectiveness. The 52nd Army was even known as the "Six Main Forces of the National Army", so you can imagine its strength. The 25nd Army was a semi-American-equipped army with very good equipment. As a result, Deng Guo sent Zhang Caifang to concentrate 25 people to ambush the 3000th Division, but only annihilated about 25 people from the th Division. The th Division broke through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

This battle made Zhang Caifang lose all face.

After all, they organized so many troops, but in the end, they let the 25th Division escape. However, the 25th Division lost about 3000 people, which was also a heavy blow to its vitality.

Therefore, they quickly evacuated the battlefield.

Du Yuming's first battle at Shanhaiguan also ended in failure.

The failure of the two Shanhaiguan battles made Chiang Kai-shek very angry.

Because the Soviet army had informed Chiang Kai-shek that according to the original agreement, the Nationalist government could send people to take over Harbin.

But Chiang Kai-shek understood.

What's the point of just taking over Harbin?

The Northeast was teeming with Eighth Route Army troops. Perhaps the moment he took over Harbin, the Eighth Route Army would take it down. Jiang Pengfei had assured Chiang Kai-shek that he would be able to defend Harbin for him.

But Chiang Kai-shek did not trust the combat effectiveness of Jiang Pengfei's puppet Manchukuo army, and he always felt uncomfortable with it. Of course, this was not the first time Chiang Kai-shek had done such a thing, so he could accept it.

What Chiang Kai-shek is most worried about is that Jiang Pengfei currently has more than ten divisions under his command.

What if, after occupying Harbin, he became another warlord and refused to obey the orders of the National Government? For Chiang Kai-shek, his most trusted troops were his own Central Army.

Chiang Kai-shek ordered his troops to advance quickly, demanding that Du Yuming capture Shanhaiguan. However, Du Yuming lacked the necessary personnel and was unable to break through. Therefore, Du Yuming appealed to Chiang Kai-shek for more troops and even aircraft support.

Chiang Kai-shek became anxious.

Therefore, the US military was requested to continue to help and allocate more transport ships to help transport troops. Although the United States was leading the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it still favored Chiang Kai-shek. Using its own transport ships to help Chiang Kai-shek continue to transport troops.

The National Army was sending troops to the Northeast in full swing, and the Northeast Eighth Route Army could not just sit there and do nothing.

Chen Yun presided over the work of the Northeast Bureau. With the support of the Central Committee, he began to send a large number of personnel to the second-level military regions. The purpose was to start land work in the Northeast. At the same time, the field army headquarters and teams were temporarily transferred to the second-level military regions to help them eliminate bandits.

Of course, the place that Chen Yun currently attaches the most importance to is the North Manchuria Military Region.

After Chen Yun discussed with the North Manchuria Military Region, five military sub-districts were established in the North Manchuria Military Region, namely the Xing'an Military Region, Nenjiang Military Region, Bei'an Military Region, Hejiang Military Region and Songjiang Military Region. In fact, the military sub-districts were established according to the nine provinces in Northeast China originally divided by the Japanese.

In addition to the former Anti-Japanese United Army, Xiao Jinguang and Lu Dongsheng were sent to work in the North Manchuria Military Region. Then the First and Third Columns dispatched a total of 12 auxiliary regiments and quietly entered the North Manchuria Military Region.

Among them, Xiao Jinguang concurrently served as commander of the crucial Nenjiang Military Region, the most important sub-district within the North Manchuria Military Region. Harbin and Qiqihar were both located in Nenjiang. Although the Northeast Bureau was unable to send troops to Harbin and Qiqihar due to the Soviet Union's refusal to allow Eighth Route Army troops to enter North Manchuria, Chen Yun had dispatched a large number of cadres to Harbin and Qiqihar. While publicly unable to control Harbin and Qiqihar, he was secretly able to develop a large number of Party organizations there.

Because of his good relations with the Soviet army, Lu Dongsheng was appointed commander of the Songjiang Military Region, responsible for the Mudanjiang front. Zhao Chengjin, commander of the 1st Training Brigade of the 1st Column, was appointed commander of the Bei'an Military Region. Xiao Yongshi, commander of the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Column, was appointed commander of the Hejiang Military Region. Chu He, political commissar of the 9th Brigade, was appointed commander of the Xing'an Military Region.

The purpose of sending so many cadres to the North Manchuria Military Region was to enable the North Manchuria Military Region to quickly form its own troops.

In addition to these military cadres, the Northeast Bureau also dispatched cadres headed by Gao Gang and Zhang Wentian to the North Manchuria Military Region. The Northeast Bureau restored the abolished Provisional North Manchuria Provincial Committee, with Gao Gang as Secretary, Zhang Wentian as Head of the Organization Department, and Xiao Jinguang as Head of the Military Department.

While Chen Yun was in charge of taking over the Northeast and deploying a large number of cadres to various towns and villages, Marshal Lin was also reorganizing the troops. At this time, another 100,000 troops arrived from the Northeast.

Mainly Shandong troops and the New Fourth Army's 3rd Division.

After these troops entered the Northeast, Marshal Lin quickly reorganized them. He knew that the troops would soon be engaged in a major battle. The Nationalist army was gearing up outside the Great Wall, and a large number of troops were being transported from the southwest to the Northeast.

Marshal Lin successively established the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth columns of the Northeast Field Army.

The Sixth Column was reorganized from the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Shandong Liberated Area and the Binhai Detachment. Its first commander was Wan Yi. In fact, this unit was the famous First Column of the Northeast Field Army in history, which later became the "Long Live Army" and the "Imperial Guard" 38th Army.

This unit is considered to be a group of elite soldiers from the Shandong Military Region.

In addition to Wan Yi, the Sixth Column was also staffed with two deputy commanders, one of whom was Liang Xingchu, who served as deputy commander and commander of the First Division.

One is Li Zuopeng, who serves as deputy commander and chief of staff.

They all later became commanders of the main forces of the People's Liberation Army.

The Seventh Column was formed from the former 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army in Central China. The 7th, 8th, and 10th Brigades, as well as the Independent Brigade, under the rd Division of the New Fourth Army, were all incorporated into the Seventh Column, with a total strength of nearly . Huang Kecheng was both its first commander and political commissar.

When Marshal Lin arrived in the Northeast, the Northeast Eighth Route Army had already established a base in the Northeast.

Then came the massive influx of troops from the Jirecha Military Region and the Jireliao Military Region into the Northeast. The field armies that were initially formed were based on their original units. For example, Wang Qiuyun's Second Column had over 50,000 troops when it entered the Northeast, a truly formidable force.

Therefore, when Marshal Lin formed the Seventh Column, he did not split up the New Fourth Army's Third Division, but reorganized them into the Seventh Column as a whole.

The 3th Column was formed by combining the former 3rd Division and rd Security Brigade of the Shandong Military Region, part of the th Division of Shandong, troops of the th Division of Shandong, and parts of the independent regiment. Wu Kehua served as commander, Peng Jiaqing as political commissar, Hu Qicai as deputy commander, and Ouyang Wen as deputy political commissar and director of the political department.

The Ninth Column was formed by combining the Shandong 7th Division, the 2nd Independent Brigade developed by Deng Guo in the Jireliao Military Region, and the independent division formed in the South Manchuria Military Region. Cheng Shihua served as commander, Luo Shunchu as political commissar, and Yang Guofu as deputy commander.

At this point, Marshal Lin had formed nine columns of field armies in the Northeast, with a total number of 30 people.

Marshal Lin stepped up the training of his troops in preparation for fighting against the large Kuomintang forces.

Chen Yun and Luo Ronghuan, who had just arrived in the Northeast, worked hard to stabilize the various localities, allowing the subordinate military regions to manage the bases and at the same time organize local troops to provide more manpower for the field army.

Chapter 644: Establishment of the Third-Level Military Sub-district

Wei Hongjun conducted large-scale military training for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Third Field Army and replenished its various units.

It's like the new 11th Brigade.

In the end, there were about 2600 troops joining the Eighth Route Army.

Wei Hongjun used the first regiment of the new 11th Brigade and supplemented it with more than 3000 new recruits to create the first and second regiments of the new 11th Brigade. The reason why Wei Hongjun was determined to take down the new 11th Brigade was because the new 11th Brigade had a complete cadre structure. Moreover, these military cadres of the new 11th Brigade have fought for many years. Each of them is a graduate of a regular military academy and has rich battlefield experience. In addition, there are more than 11 party members in the entire new 500th Brigade. It can be said that the foundation of the new 11th Brigade is very good. As long as they are supplemented with new recruits, they can quickly expand the troops without any problems. Moreover, after supplementing the new recruits, this unit can quickly form combat effectiveness without the need for transition.

Wei Hongjun then transferred cadres from the First Brigade and incorporated some new recruits to form the Third Regiment of the New 11th Brigade. In this way, the New 11th Brigade quickly had three regiments and a total of men, directly adding a field brigade to the Third Field Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region.

Cao Yousen was appointed as the commander of the new 11th Brigade, Qi Guangwu, the deputy political commissar from the 11th Brigade, was transferred to serve as the political commissar of the new th Brigade, Niu Huadong was appointed as the deputy brigade commander, and Wang Zhizhuang was appointed as the chief of staff.

And so many weapons and ammunition were seized last time.

The weapons of many units of the Jin-Cha-Ji Third Field Army were rapidly improved, especially the large number of light and heavy machine guns captured, which was of the greatest help to the troops.

"Commander, the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region is currently too large. Many tasks are difficult and inconvenient to carry out. Therefore, we would like to establish three military sub-regions under the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region."

The situation is so funny now.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, numerous military sub-districts were established in the Jin-Cha-Ji region. However, coordination between these sub-districts was poor, leading to the establishment of several secondary military sub-districts. The hope was that these secondary military sub-districts could pool their strength. However, the establishment of these secondary military sub-districts presented new challenges.

Especially after the large-scale formation of the Jin-Cha-Ji field army, many problems arose in the management of such a large territory by the original second-level military region.

Inconvenient management.

A department is needed to manage the relationship between the second-level military region and the counties below it.

Therefore, Wei Hongjun considered setting up several military sub-districts under the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region.

Marshal Nie nodded.

After the establishment of the second-level military region, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region will not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the second-level military region. Now that the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region wants to establish several military sub-regions, it is not a big problem.

Nie Shuai asked, "How do you want to set it up?"

"The original Chahar-Suiyuan Military Region was changed to the Chahar-Suiyuan Military Sub-district, and the previously established Zhangjiakou Military Sub-district was added. Then, the Rehe and Hebei parts were established as the Pingbei Military Sub-district."

"What about the cadre arrangements?"

"The Zhangjiakou Military Sub-district will continue with its original appointments, with Comrade Wu Qinghe serving as Commander, Comrade Liu Jie as Political Commissar, and Comrade Huang Wenming as Deputy Political Commissar. For the Chasui Military Sub-district, I would like to appoint Comrade Zheng Weishan as Commander and Comrade Zhang Liankui as Political Commissar. The Eighth Column is currently in Jining and can directly oversee operations there. For the Pingbei Military Sub-district, I intend to appoint Comrade Lei Jiabin as both Commander and Political Commissar."

Wei Hongjun also sent cadres to form a third-level military sub-district under the second-level military region in order to strengthen his leadership over the base areas below.

Jin-Cha-Ji is about to usher in two major events.

One is disarmament and the other is land reform.

Wei Hongjun needs to prepare for these two things.

Jin-Cha-Ji was a model base area. To be honest, it was very strong and had a strong foundation. If it weren't for these two events in history, it would definitely not have started well but ended badly, and eventually faded into obscurity during the Liberation War.

If Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei could hold out in disarmament and land reform, just as they did during the Anti-Japanese War, then Fu Zuoyi wouldn't have any hope of escaping Suiyuan, and the situation in Hebei wouldn't be too serious. Even with the strength of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, they could be the first to launch a counterattack and annihilate the enemy in all strategic areas. Once the situation in Hebei improved, they could move east to support the Shandong battlefield, south to support the Central Plains, and west to besiege Yan Xishan.

If the Jin-Cha-Ji region exerted its strength in Hebei, it could even prevent the Jin-Ji-Lu-Yu troops from advancing into the Dabie Mountains. Furthermore, even if the Jin-Ji-Lu-Yu troops advanced into the Dabie Mountains, as long as the Jin-Cha-Ji region provided adequate support, the Nationalist army would not be able to mobilize so many troops to besiege them.

It can be said that in history, the Jin-Cha-Yi troops did not fight well, which directly affected the situation in the whole country.

So Wei Hongjun must consider this issue.

The Wei Hongjun needed to prepare for disarmament and land reform early. Not only could these events not affect the Jin-Cha region, but they also needed to allow the Jin-Cha wing to capitalize on these events to become even more powerful. That was why the Wei Hongjun was so anxious to establish three third-tier military sub-regions.

Marshal Nie was aware of these cadres of the Eighth Column, especially those who could become leaders of the third-level military sub-district. Wu Qinghe and Zheng Weishan are not to be mentioned. Lei Jiabin was the former deputy political commissar of the Chahar South Detachment of the Eighth Column, and later served as deputy political commissar when the First Brigade was established. After the main force went to the Northeast, Zhang Zihua served as the acting commander and political commissar of the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region. As the military region was short of cadres, Lei Jiabin was transferred to serve as the director of the military region's political department. If Lei Jiabin had not been transferred, he would have had the opportunity to become the political commissar or deputy political commissar of the Eighth Column this time. When the Pingbei Military Sub-district was established this time, Wei Hongjun chose Lei Jiabin as the commander and political commissar.

Marshal Nie nodded.

He said, "You should report to the Jirecha Military Region."

"Yes."

Soon, the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region submitted a report proposing the establishment of the Chahar-Suiyuan Military Sub-district, the Zhangjiakou Military Sub-district, and the Pingbei Military Sub-district. Marshal Nie convened a meeting of the military region and approved the application of the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region.

After passing the review, Wei Hongjun immediately called the three military sub-district leaders over.

"After the establishment of the military sub-district, one of your main tasks will be to cooperate with Comrade Zhao Lu to improve the entire system of recruiting and training soldiers to provide manpower for the main force. Then, establish military depots and hospitals to provide the most support for the field troops. You will also need to establish local forces. You must be able to deal with bandits and small-scale enemies that appear in the surrounding areas. Comrade Zheng Weishan, in particular, you will also be responsible for the Eighth Column, so the burden on you is very heavy."

"Commissar, don't worry. We will definitely help the army stabilize the rear."

Lei Jiabin spoke.

Lei Jiabin was used to calling Wei Hongjun "Political Commissar", and this time he just called him "Political Commissar".

Although Lei Jiabin didn't become the political commissar of a field army column this time, he was quite satisfied with his position as commander and political commissar of a third-level military region, as he had extensive experience in establishing, managing, and developing bases.

Wei Hongjun nodded.

They are all experienced cadres.

Wei Hongjun believed in them, otherwise he wouldn't have let them lead the military sub-districts. So Wei Hongjun said directly: "The military district will give each of your military sub-districts an additional two independent divisions.

"Two independent divisions?"

Zheng Weishan was very shocked.

Wu Qinghe asked directly: "Political Commissar, what is the organization of the independent division?"

"It has three regiments and a total of 8000 men."

Lei Jiabin said anxiously, "Political Commissar, our Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region is not a wealthy place. Although the base area is large, the population is not small, and the food reserves are acceptable, but now the base area supplies 100,000 field army troops, plus so many party and government logistics agencies, as well as local troops in the base area. Not to mention that this year we have added so many factories and established so many universities in Jin-Cha-Ji. Although the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region bears the lion's share, our Ji-Rehe-Cha Military Region also has to bear some of the burden. If each military sub-district adds two more independent divisions, then the three military sub-districts will have six independent divisions, about 50,000 people. Without the support of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, then relying solely on our Ji-Rehe-Cha Military Region, the burden on the base area will be too heavy."

The Jirecha Military Region has a large territory, but it cannot be compared with Hebei.

Why did Yang Quanwu's First Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army have five columns?

Even if each column commanded fewer troops, the five columns combined still comprised 150,000 to 160,000 field troops. Furthermore, the Hebei-Central Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong Military Region also had a significant number of local troops. Despite Yang Quanwu's large number of troops, he found it easy to support them. He didn't even need the support of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region; he could sustain so many troops on his own.

why?
