Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

However, the CMC is currently unable to find a political commissar with the same seniority and rank as Wang Qiuyun, as political commissars of this rank are currently all CMC leaders.

In the end, the Military Commission chose Xu Liqing because he had extensive experience and had served as the political commissar of the Red Fourth Front Army. As the deputy minister of the General Political Department, his current rank was not low either.

As a cadre from the Fourth Front Army, Xu Liqing also

Having experienced the disastrous defeat of the Western Route Army, Xu Liqing, despite his remarkable achievements in political work, remained very low-key and cautious after returning to Yan'an. He truly lived up to his high-profile approach to work and low-profile conduct. This made him the perfect partner for a cadre with a strong character like Wang Qiuyun.

After the military and political leadership of the Second Artillery Corps was completed, the Central Military Commission appointed Tan Xilin, deputy commander of the Jinan Military Region, as the first deputy commander of the Second Artillery Corps, Gao Cunxin, deputy commander of the Artillery Corps, as the second deputy commander, and Xiang Shouzhi, former commander of the 18th Army and current president of the Xi'an Artillery Academy, as the third deputy commander and chief of staff.

Tan Xilin was a cadre of the Third Field Army who came from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Gao Cunxin was the artillery commander of the Fifth Field Army who came from the Northeast Army, and Xiang Shouzhi was a fierce general of the Chen Xie Army.

Liu Zhijian, director of the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department of the Central Military Commission, serves as deputy political commissar of the Second Artillery Corps, and Zhang Chiming, president of the Logistics Academy, serves as director of the Political Department.

Liu Zhijian was a cadre of the Second Field Army who came from the Red Third Army, and Zhang Chiming was a cadre of the Fourth Field Army who came from the Red 25th Army.

When establishing a new branch of the military, the selection of military and political leaders really took every aspect into consideration. Cadres from all factions were assigned.

The second thing is the issue of India.

Peng Dezong did not completely believe Wei Hongjun's judgment, but his thinking, or rather the thinking of some central leaders, was to believe it was better to believe it and be prepared for any eventuality.

If a misjudgment occurs after preparation, at most it will affect Wei Hongjun's prestige. But if a military conflict does occur without preparation, the problem will be very serious.

So at this Military Commission meeting, everyone discussed how to deal with a possible Sino-Indian conflict.

For the military leaders of the Central Military Commission, who have fought wars for over two decades, judging the possibility of a conflict between China and India is the most difficult task. However, formulating combat plans based on the possibility of a military conflict between China and India is their forte.

In a short time, the General Staff and the Academy of Military Science came up with India's possible route of advance, how China should counterattack, etc.

Not only do they quickly formulate strategies and tactics, but they also make detailed statistics on the quantity of logistical supplies needed, etc.

In order to cope with possible wars, the Central Military Commission decided to strengthen the deployment of forces and material reserves in Xinjiang, Tibet, and the Kachin Special Region.

The Independent 124st Division was transferred from the Qinghai Military Region to be stationed in Chamdo, and two regiments were transferred from the Chengdu Military Region and merged with the troops of the Chamdo Military Sub-district of the Tibet Military Region to form the th Army.

A new army was established, and the 124th army was given a number.

The number is determined according to the origin of the troops. The predecessors of the Qinghai Military Region's Independent 11st Division and Independent nd Division were both the th Division of the th Army of the st Corps of the st Field Army. The predecessor of the th Army was the Chaxi Detachment of the th Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

After the Fourth Army was changed to the Qinghai Military Region, the 11th Division of the Fourth Army participated in the reorganization of the National Army troops and eventually became two independent divisions of the Qinghai Military Region. They participated in the suppression of bandits in the Qinghai area and later were mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

The 12th Division was changed to the Public Security Division of the Lanzhou Military Region, and the 10th Division and the nd Army were reorganized to form the new nd Army, which is currently stationed in Gansu.

The two regiments drawn from the Chengdu Military Region and the troops of the Qamdo Military Sub-district were the predecessors of the 12th Army of the Fourth Corps of the First Field Army. The Fourth Corps was a unit formed by General Xu in southern Shanxi during the War of Liberation. The Fourth Corps followed General He to liberate Sichuan, and the 12th Army liberated Xikang Province, becoming the Xikang Military Region.

After the abolition of Xikang Province, the Xikang Military Region was also incorporated into the Sichuan Provincial Military Region, but the Chamdo Military Sub-district was incorporated into the Tibet Military Region.

Because one of the two units came from the 124th Army and the other from the th Army, in order to respect their history, their numbers were added together to temporarily form the th Army.

Lian Han, the former commander of the newly reorganized Second Army of the Lanzhou Military Region, served as the commander of the 124th Army, and Gao Dexi, the former director of the Political Department of the 12th Army, served as the political commissar of the 124th Army.

Then there's Yunnan. The Chen-Xie Corps was reorganized into the Yunnan Military Region, and the 17th Army was reorganized into the Kachin Production and Construction Corps. While cultivating land, they also participated in suppressing bandits and combating remnants of the Kuomintang (KMT). The 18th Army later went to Korea and is currently stationed in Northeast China. The 16th Army is currently in Kunming.

To participate in the battle from Yunnan, the Kunming Military Region itself was short of troops. Therefore, the Military Commission decided that the Wuhan Military Region

The army entered Kachin in the name of the Production and Construction Corps and prepared for battle.

The third thing is to attack Chiang Kai-shek’s warships and military targets.

The General Staff had already drawn up several strike plans. Previously, they hadn't acted because the Central Committee hadn't yet made up its mind. Now, Wei Hongjun thought the time was right.

Especially after China refused to participate in the Five-Power Conference, Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union still had to hold the Four-Power Conference as originally planned.

The main purpose was to ease tensions between the US and the Soviet Union, especially to avoid creating tensions in Berlin, as if a war was about to break out.

In their hearts, Britain and France were very dissatisfied with the United States and the Soviet Union. If you two want to fight, just fight in the Pacific, or if that doesn't work, you can fight in North America. Why do you have to deploy so many troops in Europe?

Multiple troops.

As for the current situation in Indochina, Britain and France are really out of reach. Britain and France currently have no power to intervene in the problems of Indochina.

Even Britain and France were secretly delighted. It would be best if the US, the Soviet Union, and China could be beaten to a pulp in Indochina.

The four countries at the Four-Nation Conference had completely different needs, making it impossible to reach any agreement. Wei Hongjun was preparing a big gift for the Four-Nation Conference.

So the Military Commission began to focus on discussing how to attack Taiwan.

Finally, it was decided to concentrate the naval coastal defense missile force currently in the hands of the Chinese army and the newly established six battalions of the "Dongfeng-1000" missile force of the Second Artillery Corps, all of which were quietly deployed to Fujian. Each missile has a bomb load of more than kilograms, just like the "Dongfeng-"

The "No. 1300" carries kg of high-explosive bombs.

The use of missiles on such a large scale was unprecedented for China. The PLA generals had no experience of this kind either. Therefore, although the Military Commission approved the plan to attack Chiang Kai-shek's navy, it remained extremely cautious.

Chief of the General Staff Deng Guo went to Fujian in person to take charge. Together with the Navy Commander Xiao Jinguang, the newly appointed Commander of the Second Artillery Corps Wang Qiuyun, the current Commander of the Fuzhou Military Region Zhang Zihua, and the newly appointed Political Commissar of the Second Artillery Corps Xu Liqing, the five of them formed a temporary command center, with Deng Guo as the commander-in-chief.

Prepare to teach Chiang Kai-shek's warships and military ports an unforgettable lesson.

While Wei Hongjun was making intensive preparations, events occurred one after another in Tibet and India.

1110 Rapid Rebellion

"How is it going?"

"According to the intelligence we've received, the number of people preparing to rebel has already exceeded 10,000. Rumors are spreading everywhere, causing panic among the people. Once these people start rebelling, the number will increase. Judging from the deployment of the rebel forces, their main targets are Lhasa and Chamdo."

After Zheng Weishan was appointed as the commander of the Tibet Military Region by the Central Military Commission and received instructions from Wei Hongjun, he did not delay in the Beijing Military Region. Instead, he quickly handed over his work and immediately went to the Tibet Military Region to hand over his work to the commander of the Tibet Military Region, Zhang Guohua.

The Tibet Military Region was liberated by the 21st Army of the Second Field Army, and it was the 21st Army that was directly reorganized into the Tibet Military Region. Due to Tibet's unique conditions, including transportation, geography, and climate, the entire Tibet Military Region had few troops. All the troops combined only had about men.

Zheng Weishan was a distinguished general, particularly for his performance in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, which earned him great praise from the Chairman. If the generals were to be ranked, Zheng Weishan would undoubtedly be among the top.

After the departure of Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guanshan, the Tibet Military Region no longer had a Lieutenant General. Most of the Deputy Commanders and Deputy Political Commissars were Major Generals, with some being Colonels.

In addition, many cadres of the 21st Army came from the early Fourth Front Army, and Zheng Weishan was a very young main division political commissar of the Fourth Front Army at that time, and was also well-known in the Fourth Front Army. Therefore, Zheng Weishan took over the Tibet Military Region very smoothly without too many problems.

The rebellious forces of the Tibetan upper class have existed since the peaceful liberation of Tibet. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all aspects of the country were thriving. Therefore, the Tibetan upper class rebel forces could only lie dormant temporarily, softly resisting the policies implemented by the People's Republic of China, and did not dare to rebel directly.

However, their inner hostility and hatred towards New China grew day by day. After Tibet's liberation, although socialism was not immediately implemented, socialist policies were systematically implemented. Every policy implemented by New China in Tibet deprived the privileges of these Tibetan aristocrats.

Just after 1961, the international situation underwent a major change. The Vietnam War was raging, and the US Army alone suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

Moreover, after the US military expanded the bombing range, it fought repeatedly with the Vietnamese air defense forces and the Chinese air defense forces.

Although the US air force is very powerful, the air defense forces of China and Vietnam are not to be trifled with. In particular, China's air defense force is far more powerful than Vietnam's.

The US military aircraft did not dare to penetrate deep into China, but they also knew that the logistics of the Vietnamese People's Army entered Vietnam through the railways and roads between China and Vietnam. So the US military aircraft wanted to bomb this logistics line, but were counterattacked by the Chinese air defense forces.

China's air defense forces fought against the US military in the Korean War, so China's air defense forces know how to deal with US aircraft and how to protect transportation lines.

As a result, in less than a year, the US military lost more than 200 aircraft.

This loss was unacceptable to the US military, so the US military also wanted to make things difficult for China. The US military immediately wooed India and supported the Tibetan rebel forces.

The US military provided a large amount of aid to the Tibetan rebels through India.

The US military even sent transport planes to airdrop food, weapons and ammunition to the Tibetan rebels. India also guaranteed these rebels that as long as they could take over Tibet, India would send troops to support them.

With the support of the United States and India, the Tibetan upper class felt that the opportunity for Tibetan independence had finally arrived.

So when Zheng Weishan arrived in Tibet, these rebel forces were connecting with each other and starting to arm their forces.

After Zheng Weishan and Du Ping took office, they had no time to slowly adjust to the new situation and quickly got to work on how to deal with these rebel forces.

With Wei Hongjun's instructions, Zheng Weishan did not send troops to suppress these people immediately. Instead, he sent scouts to unite with pro-CCP Tibetan cadres and people to monitor the every move of these Tibetan rebel forces.

After more than three months of preparation, the Tibetan rebellion finally

The forces can no longer wait to launch a rebellion.

"From the current deployment of the rebel forces, their main goal in Lhasa is to capture Lhasa and attack Tsetang at the same time. In Chamdo, they are not attacking Chamdo directly, but are attacking Zamu and Dingqing. The number of rebels in Lhasa is the largest, with more than 6000 around Lhasa alone and more than 2000 in Tsetang.

“扎木那边有2000人左右，丁青那边有3000多人。光是这几股部队就有13000人左右。还有各地也散落一些叛军部队，不过都是几百人规模的小部队。如果全都加起来叛军数量在15000人以上。9

Sun Guoquan, Chief of Staff of the Tibet Military Region, gave a detailed introduction to the current situation.

The work done by Zheng Weishan and Du Ping over the past few months was not in vain.

It is an elite force, but it is not a strict organization.

With over 15000 rebels ready, how could they possibly keep it secret? The Tibet Military Region sent so many scouts, along with the Tibetan people willing to side with the CCP, that intelligence on the rebels trickled into the military region headquarters. The Tibet Military Region was fully aware of the rebels' movements.

"Damn, they finally took action."

Zheng Weishan dropped his pen onto the map and said, "I don't know if they're naive or just ignorant. They're really thinking of rebellion with just such a small number of people. They're really courting death."

Tibet itself had no military. Although these rebel forces had assembled a force of over 10,000 men using American weapons and equipment, in the eyes of a general like Zheng Weishan, even a hundred thousand, let alone ten thousand, was a mob, completely vulnerable.

"These people have lived in seclusion in Tibet and have never seen how a modern army fights, nor have they experienced a real battlefield. They have no idea what the difference is between a regular army and this rabble. They think that just because they have organized more than 10,000 troops, and that their strength is even greater than ours in the Tibet Military Region, they think victory is within reach."

Wu Zhong, former commander of the 21rd Division of the 63st Army, the troops entering Tibet, and current deputy commander of the Tibet Military Region, spoke with great contempt.

Wu Zhong is a cadre from the Fourth Front Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served in the 115th Division, first in the Shanxi-West Independent Detachment, and later in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. During the Liberation War, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was incorporated into the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan region, and he became a cadre in the Second Field Army. He later followed the 21st Army into Tibet and currently serves as Deputy Commander of the Tibet Military Region.

"Is the army ready?"

"Commander, all deployments are complete. The 188th Regiment has secretly assembled in Lhasa, and the two battalions of the 189th Regiment have left Zedang.

It's less than 60 miles away. If anything goes wrong in Zedang, we can reach the battlefield within a day.

There are more than 8000 rebels in Lhasa and Zedang, and if you add those who may be dragged in later, the number may exceed 10000.

But everyone's expression was very calm. The Tibet Military Region did not make any major moves. Zheng Weishan simply folded his fists and quietly deployed two regiments in the Lhasa and Tsetang areas.

“How’s it going in Chamdo?

"Comrades Lian Han and Gao Dexi have already established a temporary military headquarters in Qamdo. The 105st Independent Regiment of the Qinghai Military Region and the th Regiment of the Chengdu Military Region are also in place.

"it is good."

Zheng Weishan nodded.

Since two regiments are already in place in Chamdo, there will be no problem in dealing with this rabble.

"How's the forest farm?"

"We have a reinforced platoon at the forest farm, and we have distributed more than 300 rifles and two light machine guns to the forest farm workers. We have also conducted military training for the workers in the past few months. There are only about 500 rebels around the forest farm, so the forest farm will be safe. 15

Zheng Weishan was a very careful general.

All possible locations that could be attacked were taken into consideration. Zheng Weishan mentioned the forest farm because transporting materials to Tibet was too difficult, so construction had to rely heavily on timber.

After the peaceful liberation of Tibet, a state-owned forestry farm was established with the liberated serfs. Small groups of Tibetan rebels targeted this forestry farm.

"The work of suppressing the rebellion in Chamdo will be handed over to the 124th Army. Comrade Wu Zhong, you go to the 189th Regiment and deal with the rebels in Zedang. We must cut off the rebels' retreat and completely eliminate the rebel forces. Don't let them escape into the mountains."

"Yes."

At dawn on August 1961, 8, a full-scale rebellion broke out in Tibet since its peaceful liberation.
