Zeng Kelin also said: Most of the volunteer cadres who went to study in the Soviet Union have returned to the northeast.

In Fushun, Benxi, and Anshan, there were more than 20,000 prisoners of the Eighth Route Army, and they had already organized guerrilla units. The Kuomintang underground personnel also came out of the prison and moved around, putting up signs to recruit people. We have banned the activities of the Kuomintang, but now we have a large number of cadres who have not yet arrived, and there is a shortage of cadres everywhere.

Zeng Kelin also reported on the situation of a group of Soviet troops in the northeast. He pointed out: The Red Army soldiers lived a hard life, their clothes were in tatters, their discipline was very bad, and there were many cases of forcing women, and I went to the Political Department of the Red Army every day to report the violations of discipline by the Soviet troops. The head of their political department said that the troops were transferred from the Western Front and hated the fascists. The political department has ordered 2o people to be shot and more than 38o people to be detained, but it is still impossible to maintain.

The whole report made the members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee very excited.

In a report of more than an hour, ** said: "The northeast is a strategic place, bordering the Soviet Union in the north, gathering North Korea, and méng ancient in the west, with mountainous areas and large plains, which are easy to attack and easy to defend when retreating, and can become an important strategic area for our country." Northeast China has convenient transportation, abundant products and industry. The Kuomintang betrayed the Northeast 14 years ago, and now that the people's struggle has been won, they will certainly not give up and will seize the Northeast and seize the fruits of victory. We have to go toe-to-toe with them and fight for this strategic area. Once our troops have gone first, they will be able to gain a foothold and control the northeast, and once we have mastered the northeast, we will be able to create a favorable position for Chairman Mao and Deputy Chairman Zhou to negotiate in Chongqing. Now that we have the Northeast, we can add the process of the country's life. At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, President Mao predicted that Japanese imperialism would be able to defeat and that the final victory would definitely belong to the people of the country. ”

Zhu De admonished Zeng Kelin: "The people of Northeast China have been oppressed by the Japanese aggressors for more than 10 years, and we must make them feel the warmth of our party and the grass corps of the party and the people as their backers, so that the influence of the party will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

This meeting enabled the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to further understand that the Soviet army only occupied the big cities along the long road in the northeast, and many small cities and vast rural areas were either vacuum areas or entrenched by bandits. Although the Soviet army was hindered by the Soviet treaty and did not allow the Eighth Route Army to enter the northeast before its retreat, it could be tacitly approved without the number of the Eighth Route Army. It is extremely easy for the People's Autonomous Army to expand its troops in the northeast, and hundreds of people participate in each call, which is extremely conducive to the army's exhibition.

During this meeting, the Politburo sent a telegram in the name of ** to ** and Zhou Enlai, who were negotiating in Chongqing. The telegram pointed out: This afternoon, Colonel Belulousov, a representative of Marshal Malinovsky, arrived here by plane from Shenyang, and Zeng Kelin, commander of the 16 th Army Division of the Jireliao Military Region, came with him. Bei School will fly back to Shenyang tomorrow, and today it is planned to have a formal conversation with Bei School, and the details will be announced separately. The herald waits.

In the evening of the same day, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee continued to meet and discussed the situation in the Northeast and the policies of the Central Committee. The members of the Politburo unanimously agreed that the conditions in the northeast were too good, and Chiang Kai-shek had not yet had time to enter the northeast, and that this was a godsend for our party to occupy the northeast.

Zhu De said excitedly, "Chongyang wants to send people to the northeast quickly, and we must prepare 4o million to 5o."

10,000 troops. ”

The idea of setting up a Northeast Bureau of the Central Committee has been going on for a long time, and Zeng Kelin's report prompted him to make up his mind. After collective discussion, two resolutions were passed: (1) Immediately establish the Northeast Bureau with Peng Zhen as the secretary, Chen Yun and Cheng Zihua. Lin Feng and Wu Xiuquan were committee members and immediately went to Shenyang with the Soviet plane. "The plenipotentiary representative of the Northeast Bureau directs the activities of all party organizations and party members in the northeast, and all party organizations and party members in the northeast must accept its leadership."

(2) Dispatch cadres from 1oo regiments from China and North China to Northeast China. "Without weapons, I wore civilian clothes as a laborer to Manchuria to find the Northeast Bureau." When entering the Manchurian border, the Red Army and the British, American, and Kuomintang must not be seen, and they must never pass through places where the Red Army is stationed, and once they enter the territory of Manchuria, they must use the local number of Manchuria to destroy the original documents of the Eighth Route Army.

"Only in the name of the local troops in the Northeast and in the guise of non-** will it be possible to get help from the Red Army."

At this meeting, ** emphasized: "At present, our party's task for the northeast is to quickly and resolutely win over the northeast and display the powerful strength of our party in the northeast. And noted, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." "In order to strengthen the strength of the Northeast and complete the task of controlling the Northeast, the Central Government changed its intention to go south, and reassigned all the troops and cadres originally planned to be sent from Yan'an and other places to South and East China to the Northeast: and prepared to transfer 10,000 main forces and 20,000 cadres from the liberated areas to Dongjing.

With regard to the demands of the Soviet side, the Politburo meeting decided to deal with them in accordance with the Soviet treaty, withdraw individual troops, and transfer some of them to the countryside. At the meeting, Zhang Wentian, Li Fuchun, and Gao Gang also asked to go to work in the Northeast. The meeting did not end until late at night.

The immediate formation of the Northeast Bureau is a top priority for the management of black soil, and for this reason, on the 15th of the month, the decision of the Central Committee on the establishment of the Northeast Bureau was made. The whole is as follows: The central government decided to set up the Northeast Central Bureau, with Peng Zhen, Chen Yun, Cheng Zihua, Wu Xiuquan, and Lin Feng as the members, and Peng Zhen as the secretary, they have set up an organ in Shenyang City, Fengtian (not open to the public), and cadres and party members from all over the country can go to the Zhang Zuoshuang Gongxin Garrison Headquarters on Chengnan Street in Shenyang to find the commander Zeng Kelin (party member) to find the Northeast Bureau. The plenipotentiary representative of the Northeast Bureau guides all party organizations and party member activities in the northeast. All party organizations and members in the Northeast must accept their leadership.

**〗The central government also decided Peng Zhen, Chen Yun, Ye Jizhuang, Wu Xiuquan, and Duan Zijun. Mo Chun and six people left Yan'an on a Soviet plane.

Due to the consideration of the Soviet side's implementation of the military rank system, and the first side has no military rank, in order to facilitate the work, when Peng Zhen and his entourage left Yan'an, the Central Committee decided to award Peng Zhen, Chen Yun, and Ye Jizhuang the rank of General in the name of the Central Military Commission: the rank of Major General Wu Xiuquan: the rank of Colonel Duan Zijun, Mo Chunhe. The letter of appointment was written in both Russian characters.

On the same day, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Committee in charge of the work of the CPC Central Committee also informed the Central Bureaus of the above-mentioned important situation and made a report to the CPC Central Committee. The report is as follows: All Central Bureaus: Zeng Kelin, commander of the 16th Army Division of the Eastern Hebei Military Region, was ordered to lead 15

After the surrender of the Japanese invaders, the OO people advanced to the northeast, and cooperated with the Red Army to conquer Shanhaiguan and Xingcheng. Sui, Jinzhou, Beizhen and other cities. On August 12, he entered Shenyang City and was appointed commander of the Shenyang garrison by the Red Army. According to Zeng Zeng's report, the situation in the northeast of the country is as follows: (1) Zeng Kelin's troops have grown to more than 20,000 people, all of whom are new weapons, and four companies led by Zeng Buzeng to Shenyang have been stationed in every city from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang, and within a week they have grown to 4ooo people, and more than 10,000 people have been reorganized into security forces.

(2) The 120,000 captured personnel of the Eighth Route Army, who were originally doing hard labor in the northeast, have organized several guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army and entered Changchun.

(3) Kuomintang personnel were released from prison in large numbers and were very active, and Kuomintang departments were established everywhere.

(4) There are a large number of light and heavy weapons and materials accumulated in Shenyang and other places, which are left unattended and can be obtained at will, and Zeng Kelin has guarded various important factories and warehouses in Shenyang, and it is said that there are guns1

o 10,000 pieces, thousands of cannons, ammunition, cloth and food, and many weapons and materials have fallen among the people.

(5) It is extremely easy to expand the army, and there are thousands of people at every call, and there are a large number of puppet organizations and armed forces, all of which are waiting to be reorganized.

() The Red Army was stationed only in large cities and major roads, and the small cities and urban and rural areas were unmanaged, and the order was chaotic, and the puppet organizations were waiting for explanations or absconding in fear of crime, and bandits arose, and occupied a number of small cities.

On September 15, 1945, on September 17, Peng Zhen, Chen Yun, Wu Xiuquan,

Ye Jizhuang and others took the plane of the Soviet army to Yan'an and went to Shenyang together. But when it flew to Shanhaiguan, the plane broke down, and when it landed, Peng Zhen, Ye Jizhuang, Wu Xiuquan, Duan Zijun, Mo Chunhe, and Zeng Kelin were all injured.

The plane could no longer be taken, and the next day I had to continue to take the train.

On September 18, coincidentally, it was the 19th anniversary of the fall of Northeast China, and the leading members of the Northeast Bureau of the Central Committee returned to Shenyang, the largest city in Northeast China, the birthplace of the "18" incident.

In the evening of the same day, Peng Zhen, Chen Yun and others immediately set up camp in Zhang Zuoshuang's Marshal Mansion and officially started the work of the Northeast Bureau of the Central Committee, and assumed the responsibility of the leading party, government and army in this black land. The next day, the Northeast Bureau held its first enlarged meeting in the West Building of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

At the meeting, Peng Zhen and Chen Yun conveyed the determination and instructions of the central government, and determined the main task of the Northeast Bureau, which is to strive to control the whole northeast, organize troops to take over the city, control the lines of communication, and welcome a large number of cadres and troops sent by the central government to the northeast.

The core of the central leadership represented by Mao, Liu, Zhou, Zhu, and Ren is indeed a step above Chiang Kai-shek's. They fully estimated that since the Kuomintang's military strength was relatively strong, it was determined that the struggle for and development of the northeast would definitely not be short-term and smooth. Therefore, continuing to strengthen the political and military strength in the Northeast is the decisive factor supporting the existing situation in the Northeast and the development of powerful forces.

On September 6, the central army issued instructions on carrying out the work in the northeast quickly and covertly.

On September 1o, after learning that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could enter the northeast in the name of the autonomous army, the central government once again telegraphed to the liberated areas of Shandong, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, and decided to shoot 1o regiments of 15oo to 2ooo people in addition to the four regiments originally transferred to Dongjian.

On September Women's Day, according to the report of the reconnaissance personnel sent to the northeast by the Shandong sub-bureau, the central government sent two more telegrams to the Shandong sub-bureau, pointing out: In order to take advantage of the opportunity before the Kuomintang army reached the northeast to quickly develop our strength and strive for our consolidated position in the northeast, the central government decided to transfer four divisions and 12 regiments from Shandong, with a total of 25,000 people, into the northeast for activities, and sent Xiao Hua to exercise unified command. It also requires the troops to first enter the villages and small cities, mobilize the masses, establish local political power, eliminate and reorganize the puppet army, organize local armed forces, strengthen the strength of our army, improve the living standards of the masses, publish newspapers, and mobilize the people's main movement. At the same time, a large number of administrative, educational, and technical cadres from various districts formed a cadre group and stepped up their efforts to send them to the northeast.

On September 15, the most resolute part of the Central Committee's intentions drafted a directive to the Central Bureaus, which proposed: "At present, our Party's task in the Northeast is to quickly and resolutely win over the Northeast and display the powerful strength of our Party in the Northeast. "Shandong,

The troops of Jin-Cha-Ji, Ji-Lu-Henan, and Taihang who were preparing to open the northeast should continue to advance quickly, but when entering the Manchurian border, the Red Army and the British and American Kuomintang must never pass through places where the Red Army is stationed, and as soon as they enter Manchuria, they must use the local number of Manchuria. "What is most needed now is to send a large number of military cadres to the Northeast. North China should send a hundred regiments of cadres to Xun 6 to get up and go forward. From squad leaders, elder squad leaders, platoon, company and battalion commanders, administrative personnel, and political staff members, they all went to Manchuria to find the Northeast Bureau as laborers without weapons and in civilian clothes, and then exhibited and equipped. Other artillery, engineer, cavalry, chemical, educational and other technicians should also be sent. The distribution of cadres of 1oo regiments, the central government proposed 2o regiments in China, 3o regiments in Shandong, 25 regiments in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, and 25 regiments in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan. The troops from all over the country who were preparing to go to the northeast were outside, and Jinsui and northern Shaanxi were also outside. Is it possible to consider electrical repetition for this number. It is hoped that other cadres who can serve as commanders, mayors, commissioners, economic and educational workers in the northeast will also be sent as much as possible. The cadres should go in one group as soon as they gathered, do not wait for all of them, and each of them will find the fastest route to move forward. ”

In order to reach an agreement with the Soviet side on further coordinated actions and mutual understanding, Zhu De, and Ren Bishi also sent a telegram to Marshal Malinowsky of the Soviet Army and pointed out that the order had been ordered to enter Shenyang,

The troops of the Eighth Route Army in Changchun withdrew from the Soviet-occupied area: and again raised the issue of the Eighth Route Army's troops remaining in the Jireliao base area. This request was agreed to by the Soviet troops.

** and Zhou Enlai in Chongqing also fully agreed with these deployments of ** and called Yan'an: "I am very pleased that all the telegrams have been informed." Friends here and we are completely in agreement, and we hope that the opportunity to strive for the Northeast is critical, so as not to miss the opportunity. "In addition to fully agreeing with your deployment and the organization of the Northeast Bureau, please consider Lu Zhengcao leading one or two regiments to the north."

With the full approval and support of Zhou Enlai, the leaders of Yan'an will have more confidence in their hearts, and their deployment to seize the Northeast is getting tighter and stronger.

In the face of this "vacuum" zone in the northeast, especially this one, the "vacuum" is an extraordinary strategic base, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to take it lightly at this time, and the Kuomintang army, with the help of the United States, was stepping up the transportation of troops from the southwest to the northeast, thousands of miles away, and the hundreds of thousands of puppet troops did not lay down their arms, intending to merge with the Kuomintang. The time is getting more and more urgent! ** and Zhu De and others did not relax in the slightest, "is planning to gather the main force of the ** industry party to go all out to compete with the Kuomintang in the Kwantung region."

It is worth writing about the backbone of senior leaders, and there is no shortage of outstanding talents with unique vision.

And Huang Kecheng, an alternate member of the Central Committee and commander and political commissar of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, is one of them. One day in September, when Huang Kecheng learned that the Soviet army had occupied the northeast and that various military regions had begun to mobilize a small number of troops to the northeast, he sent a telegram to the central government to put forward his insightful views. In this suggestion, Huang Kecheng mainly said that although our army is large in number, there are not many capable and strong main forces, the occupied areas are large, the main forces are scattered, except for Shandong, the assault forces are very weak, there are stubborn enemy strongholds in all base areas, and the railways and big cities are controlled, so it is difficult for them to independently support large-scale wars for a long time. In order to obtain a large strategic base area that is connected together and conducive to a long-term struggle, militarily it is necessary to concentrate the main forces for a decisive battle, send a large force to the northeast and send a military leader with prestige to preside over it, and quickly create a general base area to support the war in the Guannai: take Jin, Sui, and Chacha as the first strategic base areas in the Guannai, and gather 100,000 main forces: with Shandong as the second strategic base area in the Guannai, gather 150,000 main forces. The other regions became satellites of the two strategic bases. Since the Northeast can send troops, it should send as many troops as possible, at least 50,000 people, and it is best to go to 1o thousand. In order to implement the above policy, Huang Kecheng believes that Shandong should be transferred 3

To 50,000 people to go to the northeast, Hua should transfer 3 to 60,000 people to Shandong: the main force in Henan and the plains should be transferred to Shanxi: the main force of a division in Jiangnan (New Fourth Army) should be transferred back to Jiangbei.

Huang Keqian's bold idea and the strategic concept of thinking for many days can be said to coincide.

On September 15, according to the progress of the peace talks in Chongqing, he sent a telegram to the person in charge of the work of the Central Committee, and put forward the opinion that the troops of Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, and southern Anhui should be withdrawn to Jiangbei at an appropriate time and that the southward detachment of the Eighth Route Army should be closer to the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army.

Huang Kecheng's remarks, Zhou Enlai's southern strategic contraction opinions, show that the direction of the post-war strategic exhibition has changed significantly, which further prompted the people who presided over the daily work of the central government to speed up their thinking.

September 17th. **A strategic concept that has been brewing for more than ten days, through this telegram, telegraphed ** and Zhou Enlai, who are negotiating in Chongqing. ** Pointed out: The Northeast is an inevitable battle for us, and the two provinces of Re and Chacha must be fully controlled. The Red Army in the northeast has now begun to retreat "and is said to be completed in early December." The Red Army was about to retreat, and had already asked me three times to take over the front line of the Dewang Mansion and the Bailing Temple. Fu Zuoyi has not yet encountered my blow, Hu Zongnan is completely possible to enter Pingjin under the cover of the enemy, "There are still five brigades of the puppet Manchu army and a total of about 50,000 local puppet troops in eastern Hebei.

There are still many puppet armies in China and Shandong. Under these circumstances, our strategic deployment must be considered immediately.

** After a comprehensive analysis of the situation in the whole country, it was proposed that the strategic policy of "advancing to the north and defending to the south" and the deployment of large-scale troop movements must be determined. ** The proposition is: We must control the heavy troops in eastern Hebei and Rehe, and in addition to the troops sent to the northeast now, we must gather at least 50,000 troops in eastern Hebei, so that when the Red Army retreats, we can enter the northeast first. Therefore, it is now necessary to immediately plan 1 to mobilize 10,000 to 150,000 troops to the eastern part of Hebei and the Rehe area.

Otherwise, it will be too late, and there will be no guarantee for the control of the Northeast and Rehe. In order to realize this plan, our national strategy must define the direction of advancing to the north and defending to the south. Otherwise, my main force is scattered, the area is too large, and we will be passive everywhere. Therefore, we are of the opinion that the main force of the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan should be immediately transferred to Jiangbei" and that the main force of the New Fourth Army in East China should be transferred to eastern Hebei, or the main force of the New Fourth Army should be transferred to Shandong, and then 10,000 troops should be transferred from Shandong, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan to the areas of eastern Hebei and Rehe. The East China base area, on the other hand, was expanded with surplus strength to hold on.

In order to strengthen the work in the Jireliao region, the Central Bureau of Jireliao should be established immediately, and Gao Gang, Fuchun, and Kang Sheng should be sent to work, and a strong military command organ should be organized, with Chen Yi or Xu Qianqian taking up the post.

On September 18, the draft telegram from the central government to the negotiating delegation also reflected the suggestions of Rao Shushi and Huang Kecheng. The main contents of the electricity are as follows: (1)

After the Xi'an was confirmed, the British and American senior personnel said to the senior Kuomintang personnel: If the area around Zhangjiakou, Chengde, and Shanhaiguan is controlled at this time, and the Soviet Union is used to cover it to control Manchuria, then Britain and the United States will not be able to adopt a compromise approach to the KMT-CPC issue at the peace conference in the future.

(3) Manchuria is surrounded by Soviet forces, and the southern part of the brigade is also a Soviet military control zone, so if we can control Re, Chacha, and eastern Hebei, and deploy tens of thousands ............of troops along the coast of Manchuria, we can prevent Chiang's army from entering Manchuria and control the northeast. Rao Shushi also proposed that tens of thousands of troops be transferred from the New Fourth Army to Shandong, so that Shandong's troops could quickly enter the northeast. Huang Kecheng proposed that the troops south of Longhai be transferred to the north.

Chacha and Northeast China are the first national strategic bases, Shandong and Taihang are the second strategic bases, and the rest are satellites.

In this telegram, the summary of Huang Kecheng's proposal is slightly unusual, but it basically reflects his idea of advancing and expanding to the north.

On September 19, Zhu De replied on the 17th that he fully agreed and placed a high degree of trust. ** Pointed out: I fully agree with the strategic deployment proposed by Yundian, the main forces of southern Jiangsu, eastern Zhejiang, and southern Anhui will be opened immediately, and 50,000 troops will be stationed in eastern Hebei, and the central bureau and military leadership organs of Jireliao will be established. It is suggested that the Politburo should form a resolution and give full authority to the Secretaries and Secretaries and the Central Committee and the Acting Chairmen to exercise the functions and powers of the Politburo during this period of intense work.

After receiving the telegram, the Politburo meeting was immediately convened, and a total of 18 important leaders in Yan'an attended the meeting, mainly to discuss the change of the original strategic policy of "defense to the north and expansion to the south" decided by the central government to the strategic policy of expanding to the north and defending to the south.

**Let everyone circulate Mao's and Zhou's telegrams first. He then pointed out that our approach today should be determined, and this is the most important juncture. The policy is to seek control of the two provinces of Recha and the northeast as mentioned in the telegram just now. Well done, Sue can also cover us. Only the USSR helped, unsuccessfully. It is only possible if we have the determination, the resolute action, and the willingness to throw away other places in order to protect this piece. Is there a danger of "two ends collapsing,?" Possible. But it is possible to act quickly and take advantage of the timing. Therefore, we must put forward such a plan in front of the tasks of the whole army and the whole party. Now the problem is the problem of fast, a moment of gold. The big disadvantage is that there are no planes, and the time is too urgent, and the cadres go slowly. So it is possible, but it is difficult to say. There is a little danger, but as long as you get the eastern Hebei and Manchuria, it is better to have a disadvantage than no power. So we should stretch out to the north and defend to the south. ”

At this meeting, the formulation of the strategic policy was defined as "extending to the north and defending to the south." According to this strategic policy and the first arrangement, the first specific plan for adjusting the deployment of troops across the country was proposed: the main force in southern Jiangsu retreated, and Wang Zhen's department returned: Shandong first transferred 60,000 troops out, 30,000 to the northeast, and 30,000 to eastern Hebei. Li Fuchun was sent as the commander of the Central Bureau of Jire Liao, and Xiao Jinguang was noted. Li Yunchang was the deputy commander, and Luo Ronghuan was transferred to the northeast. The New Fourth Army went to Shandong, and Chen Yi and Rao Shushi went to Shandong to set up the East China Bureau: Hua was supported by Deng Zihui, Tan Zhenlin and others who set up a sub-bureau to insist, and it was under the leadership of the East China Bureau. The Northeast Bureau has now gone, send another 50,000 troops, and organize another 2o thousand troops in the Northeast.

The meeting agreed with the report and adopted the suggestions on organizational issues put forward by Zhou Enlai, and decided: "During the period of intense work, the deputy secretary of the secretary shall exercise the functions and powers of the Politburo.

On the same day and night, the Central Committee drafted a telegram of instructions (current tasks and strategic arrangements) to all central bureaus, pointing out: At present, the main task of the whole party and the whole army is to continue to strike at the enemy and puppet to completely control the two provinces of Re and Chacha, to display our strength in the northeast and to strive for control of the northeast, so as to rely on the northeast and the two provinces of Re and Chacha to strengthen the struggle of the people in the liberated areas of the country and the Kuomintang areas, and to strive for peace and the favorable position of the KMT-CPC negotiations.

The national strategic policy is to expand to the north and defend to the south. As long as I can control the northeast and the two provinces of Re and Chacha, and have the liberated areas of the whole country and the people of the whole country cooperate in the struggle, we will be able to guarantee the victory of the people of this country.

At this point, the central government has formally determined that the strategic policy of the whole country is to "expand to the north and defend to the south" and specifically described the content and deployment of this policy.

"Expanding to the north" means vigorously developing the military strength of Northeast China and North China, striving to control the two provinces of Ger and Chahar, and establishing a consolidated base area for the development of life, so as to rely on the Northeast and Re.

Investigate the two provinces and support the struggle of the people in the liberated areas and the areas ruled by the Kuomintang.

"Defending to the south" is the task of shrinking the front, concentrating forces to deal with the large-scale offensive of the Kuomintang army, and ensuring that the main force of the ** army will expand to the north.

The main arrangements for this strategic principle of "spreading to the north and defending to the south" are: The existing forces of the two districts of Jin, Chahar, Hebei, Chu, Hebei, and Jinsui will resolutely crack down on the attacks of Fu Zuoyi and Ma Zhanshan on Chahar and Zhangjiakou, and completely guarantee the entire territory of Chahar, most of Suiyuan, the northern part of Shanxi, and the first part of Hebei, so as to make it one of the basic strategic bases with Zhangjiakou as its heart.

(2) Shandong's main force and most of the cadres were quickly dispatched to eastern Hebei and northeast China. First, 30,000 troops were transferred from Shandong to eastern Hebei to assist the Jireliao Military Region in eliminating the puppet army, opening up the work of Rehe, and completely controlling eastern Hebei, Jinzhou, and Rehe. 30,000 troops were transferred from Shandong to the Northeast Exhibition.

(3) The East China New Fourth Army (except for the 5th Division) transferred 80,000 troops to Shandong and eastern Hebei to protect and expand the Shandong base area and the Jireliao region. The troops in eastern Zhejiang retreated to southern Jiangsu, and the main forces in southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui retreated to Jiangbei.

(4) Establish the Central Bureau of Jireliao and expand the Jireliao Military Region, with Li Fuchun as the secretary and ** as the commander. Luo Ronghuan went to work in the Northeast. The Shandong Bureau was changed to the East China Bureau, and Chen Yi and Rao Shushi went to work in Shandong. The current China Bureau was changed to a sub-bureau and was under the command of the East China Bureau.

(5) The Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region made every effort to block and strike at the recalcitrant troops heading north, preparing 30,000 troops, which were to be transferred to eastern Hebei and northeast within November.

As long as we can control the northeast and the two provinces of Re and Chacha, and have all the liberated areas and the people of the whole country cooperate in the struggle, we will be able to ensure the victory of the people of the country.

From "southward exhibition" to "northward exhibition" to complete this pivotal strategic transfer, it took more than 4o days. This is first the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the leaders. In the past few tens of days, as one of the important members of this leading collective, he seized the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" of the situation in which the country was in the prime of life, and actively carried out the central government's decision on quickly striving for the northeast, with great foresight, resourcefulness and good judgment, and seized the fleeting favorable opportunity, and played an important role in the formation, formulation, and development of this strategic policy.

With the formation of the strategic policy of "expanding to the north and defending to the south" and the issuance of the order of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of Yan'an, the troops and cadres drawn from various liberated areas immediately poured into the northeast like a tide, forming a spectacular scene of 10,000 troops breaking into the eastern part of the country rarely seen in history.

It is the custom of the common people of the old country, especially the poor people in Shandong and Hebei. When people can't survive in their hometowns, they have to leave their hometowns and go to the border to make a living in an attempt to find a way to live. Although many people have found a bowl of rice to eat in the Northeast, what many more have obtained is the shattering of their dreams. Therefore, in the minds of the suffering people, "breaking through the Kanto" is not an enviable term, it contains endless blood and tears.

Nowadays, the significance of the country and its leadership has also broken into the Kanto, which is completely for the liberation of the people and the victory of the life, so all the people who participate in this army to break into the Kanto region are full of confidence and pride.

In the eastern part of the country, those who are in the head and play a leading role are those members of the Central Committee.

Alternate members.

In order to establish a large base area in Northeast China, the central government urgently needs to send the highest responsible cadres to the Northeast to carry out leadership work. Considering the lack of leadership backbones in Northeast China, on September 11, Politburo members Kang Sheng and Gao Gang, who were working in Yan'an, expressed their willingness to work in Northeast China.

On September 13, the central government decided that Peng Zhen and Kang Sheng would go to the Northeast, and it was planned that Cheng Zihua, an alternate member of the Central Committee, would also go to the Northeast.

After members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and alternate secretaries of the CPC Central Committee, Peng Zhen and Chen Yun flew to the Northeast first, many members and alternate members of the CPC Central Committee who were ordered to go to the Northeast took action and used various methods to quickly enter the Northeast.

However, the military commander in the northeastern theater has not yet been clarified. On September 19th, Xiao Jinguang, a member of the Central Committee and Xiao Jinguang, an alternate member of the Central Committee, arrived in Henan, and at this time, the Central Committee and the Central Committee did not consider letting them go to the Northeast. When he came out of Yan'an, he was going to let them serve as the commander and deputy commander of the Shandong Military Region respectively, because the old foundation of the Shandong Military Region was developed by the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and ** was the commander of this large army.

**After being accidentally injured by the Kuomintang army Yan Xishan in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, his health was greatly damaged. After going to the Soviet Union to recuperate, his health was still difficult to recover and his face was pale, but the war was not ambiguous. This time, he was very satisfied with the Shandong Military Region handed over to him, and when he shook goodbye to Liu Bocheng and Jiao Xiaoping in Jinnan, he and Xiao Jinguang marched to Shandong day and night, and on the 19th of the first month, he received instructions from the central government to transfer him to eastern Hebei to be responsible for the military work of Jireliao.

** and ** the same Soviet cadres who started with guns are very deep. During the Jinggangshan period, it was the subordinate of **. In his 2o, he became the commander of the Red First Army.

He also graduated from the 4th phase of Whampoa, has a certain military level, and is very capable of fighting. On several key issues of right and wrong in the party, he basically supported **, so **has always attached great importance to **. In November 1942, ** returned to Yan'an from Chongqing. **After learning about it, I got up early in the morning and went down the mountain to greet him.

And **In the past, even when Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Ren Bishi returned from a long distance, they never made such a move. Therefore, it is no accident that so many generals under his command preference**.

On September 25, ** led the troops north to eastern Hebei, and was ordered to go to the northeast on January 17, arrived in Jinzhou on January 28, and arrived in Shenyang on the 29th.

In fact, the one who can really fight a tough battle is the 3rd New Fourth Army of Huang Kecheng, an alternate member of the Central Committee

Division. "Yellow 3rd Division" (the largest number of troops in the northeast of the army, the strongest combat effectiveness.

It is also the process of breaking through Kanto, the hardest one.

Huang Kecheng is a native of Yongxing County, Hunan, born in 19o, and he joined the country. The following year, he participated in the Northern Expedition and began his career as a horseman.

In 1928, Huang Kecheng participated in the Southern Hunan Uprising. During the Red Army, his highest posts were Director of the Military Political Department and Head of the Organization Department of the General Political Department of the Red Army.

After the end of the Long March and the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the political commissar of the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Soon, in order to support China's War of Resistance, Huang Kecheng was ordered to lead his troops south and fight in northern Jiangsu. In 194o, he cooperated with Chen Yi's troops of the New Fourth Army to open up the anti-Japanese situation in northern Jiangsu and created the anti-Japanese base area in northern Jiangsu.

After the Southern Anhui Incident: The New Fourth Army rebuilt its military headquarters in Yancheng, and the anti-Japanese armed forces in all parts of China were unified and reorganized, at that time, the 5th Column of the Eighth Route Army led by Huang Kecheng was reorganized into the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, and he was appointed as the division commander and political commissar. Later, he concurrently served as the secretary of the Party Committee of the North Jiangsu District and the commander and political commissar of the North Jiangsu Military Region. He was a subordinate of Zhu De and Chen Yi, and worked with Peng Dehuai for many years. He is very good at independent thinking, upright, dares to speak the truth, and is good at doing practical things. When he heard the news that the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army had entered the northeast at the beginning of the month, he immediately suggested to Rao Shushi, the secretary of the Central China Bureau and the political commissar of the New Fourth Army, to report to the Central Committee. Asked to send a large force to the northeast. Rao Shushi disagreed, believing that this was a matter that did not fall within the jurisdiction of the New Fourth Army and the China Bureau, and did not agree to the telegram. In order to clarify his own point of view, Huang Kecheng sent the famous telegram on the establishment of the Northeast General Base Area to the Central Committee on the 13th in his personal name. On September 23, Huang Kecheng received an order from the central government to lead the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, 4 main brigades, and 3 special service regiments, a total of 35

After 10,000 people left for the Northeast, he first thought that tens of thousands of people had traveled long distances, which was not a simple matter, and he had to be well prepared. To this end, Huang Kecheng made careful considerations.

After Huang Kecheng made preparations for going north in the shortest possible time, he embarked on a thousand-mile journey with Hong Xuezhi, the commander and chief of staff of the elder brother, Wu Faxian, the director of the Political Department, and most of the division. Because before leaving, Huang Jiacheng insisted that the troops should be armed, because he really couldn't put his mind at ease and was reluctant to handle it according to the central circular, which attracted some criticism. When the 3rd Division passed through Shandong, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army asked him to assist the Shandong troops in the battle, and Huang Kecheng once again "disobeyed" and directly obtained the approval of the Central Military Commission, and did not undertake combat missions in Shandong. At the cost of 3ooo attrition, the whole division went through a lot of hardships, from Huai yīn in northern Jiangsu, through Shandong and Chengde, out of Lengkou, and arrived in Yutian, Hebei Province on November 1o of the same year, and arrived near Jinzhou on November 25.

Luo Ronghuan and ** are also fellow villagers, from Hengshan, Hunan. On the eve of the defeat of the Great Cui, "he joined the Communist Youth League and ** successively. In 1927, he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the Hunan and Hubei borders led by **, and followed ** to Jinggangshan after the failure. When Sanwan was reorganized, he advocated building the branch on the company and setting up a party representative at the company level, and Luo Ronghuan was also assigned to a company as a party representative, which began his long career of doing political work in the army.

Since then, Luo Ronghuan has successively served as a party representative, political commissar or director of the political department of battalions, columns, armies, and regiments. After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the director of the Political Department, political commissar and acting division commander of the 115th Division.

In short, doing political work, he came out of the name.

In 1939, Luo Ronghuan was ordered to lead the N Division of the Eighth Route Army to Shandong, and made no small contribution to the construction of the Shandong base area. During his work in Shandong, he took charge of the important liberated area behind enemy lines in Shandong, which was appreciated by the central government.

This time, since Yan'an has made up its mind to vigorously manage the Northeast, of course it needs capable cadres, and Luo Ronghuan is most familiar with these troops, so the central government naturally chose him.
