The problems in the Inner Mongolia Military Region have not been in a day or two, and from the first day Han Yunhua pulled the pole, there has been a problem of complex composition of the members of this unit, although during the ten-year confrontation, the [***] troops were often captured by the Kuomintang troops, or the bandits and bandits in the defense area. However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the limitations of the national anti-Japanese united front or in order to maintain this front, the Eighth Route Army rarely recruited bandits and prisoners of the national political axe. Even if it's done occasionally, it's done very secretly.

However, in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, everything is open, and as long as you are bent on resisting the Japanese, no matter what you were doing or what your identity is, as long as you have the determination and conditions to resist the Japanese, you will be absorbed into the troops. This is not a big deal, and the principal leaders of the party Central Committee and military cadres still advocate this point, because after all, this is also an important method and a very good way to expand the troops.

However, what is unacceptable to many people in the party is that the promotion of cadres in the Inner Mongolia Military Region is too young and casual, and the promotion of cadres within the party is a rigorous process. But the Inner Mongolia Military Region is different, in the Inner Mongolia Military Region it seems that only look at the achievements, and the rest does not seem to matter, a 25-year-old commander is enough to attract attention, but now there are more than 10 young and excessive division commanders and political commissars, just like Jiang Yunshan, who has just been promoted to the instructor and division commander, not to mention his background, it is very unsatisfactory to take this age as an example. The twenty-eight-year-old division commander is not the Long March period, and it is not uncommon for the division commander and political commissar in his twenties, or even the corps commander. However, after the Long March, a large number of experienced and persevering commanders have grown up, so the promotion of the military chief officer of the Eighth Route Army has become much more difficult, and the downsizing of the troops is very serious, and many veterans with more than ten years of military experience are still hovering on the squad and platoon commanders, but the Inner Mongolia Military Region has produced many division and brigade commanders with two or three years of military age and more than 20 years old, so some comrades in the party have great opinions on this, so they have held many special discussion meetings on these problems.

It is no wonder that the party Central Committee has taken measures, because the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have developed too fast, and such a rapid pace has created those high-ranking military cadres who are considered by the vast majority of party cadres to have little qualifications and poor ability. Let Jiang Yunshan, who is only 28 years old, stand in the same position as Master Liu, Master He and others, not to mention others, even Han Yunhua himself can't see it.

Originally, in order to alleviate this contradiction, Han Yunhua deliberately controlled the establishment of all units in the military region, except for the reorganized 300th Division and the 77th Reading Division, at the brigade level. Even if the main military commanders of the 300th Division and the 77th Division are all served by him, Master Chen, Yang Chengwu and other experienced veteran cadres, he personally serves as the commander of the 300th Division, and no one has anything to say, after all, the troops were pulled up by him Han Yunhua himself, and it would not be kind for others to come and pick peaches, which would seriously deal a blow to the resistance of the majority of commanders and fighters. As an outstanding graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, a long-tested [***] person, a veteran comrade in the party, and a senior military cadre, Master Chen has nothing to say about him as the commander of another division of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and no one else can say one, two, or three.

However, the bad thing is that in this general battle, the army is said to be heavily pressed against the territory with ferocious force, and all of them are based on the reorganized divisions, regiments, brigades, and regiments as the basic units; as a result, the Inner Mongolia Military Region's original military establishment of brigades and regiments has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, especially when fighting large-scale battles, the number of troops is numerous and complicated, and the command must be uncoordinated. In addition, there are difficulties in mobilization, and supplies are also seriously affected. In order to ensure the victory of this general battle, Han Yunhua decided to form a military unit at the division level.

Even so, Han Yunhua did not dare to raise those cadres who were too young to the level of division commanders and division political commissars, so almost all division commanders and political commissars were concurrently served by senior cadres directly under the military region, including Guo Weidong, Yang Ruihua, Zuo Quan and others. But despite this, there are a lot of irrationalities. During the war, everyone took into account the overall situation and no one said anything, but as soon as the battle was over, the adjustment of Han Yunhua's department was put on the agenda.

In fact, the Party Central Committee has discussed the issue of Han Yunhua's department more than once, but in the end it has not come up with a suitable charter, on the one hand, considering the complicated situation of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, except for Han Yunhua, the founder of the Military Region, others may not have the ability to lead the rudder. Moreover, the development speed of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has far exceeded the expectations of the party Central Committee, and the territory under its control has reached as many as three provinces.

The most tricky thing is that the vast majority of the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were pulled up by Han Yunhua, and Han Yunhua's words were taken seriously, which was an extremely dangerous signal. Even if Han Yunhua was transferred to Shandong some time ago, wanting Zuo Quan to take over the affairs of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, he encountered great resistance. In many cases, if there is no authorization from Han Yunhua for important matters, it is not enough to rely on the prestige of the left power, especially in the area of intelligence and military industry, the left power is almost unable to interfere.

Originally, it was said that the army's large-scale attack on Saibei was carried out in accordance with the intention of the party Central Committee to avoid the enemy's edge, and all the units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region jumped out of the outer line to fight, but as soon as this plan was proposed, it was opposed by almost all cadres, even a large part of the cadres who had been transferred from various units of the Eighth Route Army to the Inner Mongolia Military Region. There were even some cadres who ignored the military orders of the military region without receiving Han Yunhua's orders, and these cadres were mainly cadres of ethnic minorities, which made it very difficult for the principal leaders of the party Central Committee to deal with them.

Yan'an, the auditorium This is the fourth discussion on the issue of the Inner Mongolia Military Region presided over by [***], and from the bottom of my heart, I like Han Yunhua, a young cadre, but the problem of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is real and has to be paid attention to. Although I can come up with some solutions every time, it doesn't seem to work very well in the end. The first time was to transfer military and political cadres to the Inner Mongolia Military Region at the suggestion of Director Kang, first transferring Hu Tao and other cadres who were not party members out of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and then transferring many grassroots cadres of the Eighth Route Army into the Inner Mongolia Military Region. This trick is a typical "sand mixing" commonly used in the Kuomintang troops, but it is a pity that the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have developed rapidly, and the troops have been expanded into brigades before the sand has been mixed in, and it is also a "brigade" of more than 19,000 people, which directly leads to the lack of sand and does not achieve results. At every military and political meeting, it has no effect of restricting Han Yunhua's rights at all.

The second time was the rotation of troops, and the elite units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were transferred to various units of the Eighth Route Army; this time it was not a matter of transferring cadres, even the troops that Han Yunhua was familiar with were transferred, but the troops transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region were all units with poor combat effectiveness of various divisions and brigades, and whose good children were willing to give them away. According to Zuo Quan and other veteran cadres, the vast majority of cadres are dissatisfied with the units transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Come to think of it, what people send out are elite soldiers with complete weapons and equipment, including cavalry, artillery, engineers, communications, medical care, and public health, while all the recruits who are transferred in are new recruits who want weapons but no weapons and are equipped but not equipped. But even so, Han Yunhua didn't say anything, and took over anyway. And it took less than half a year to fight a few tough battles, and he was stunned to pull up more than 100,000 elites, and Han Yunhua's prestige resounded throughout the country, and even the national political axe had to reward him lavishly.

For the third time, after discussion and decision by the Party Central Committee, Han Yunhua was temporarily transferred from his current position and let him go to Shandong to preside over the work. Although everyone didn't attach much importance to the so-called official position at this time, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was depriving Han Yunhua of his military power. However, to everyone's surprise, it only took four months for Han Yunhua to raise an army of more than 40,000 people in Shandong and set up the Inner Mongolia Military Region as a tutor. In addition, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yue Army attacked at the same time, and the people of the entire military region were panicked, so the party Central Committee had to transfer Han Yunhua back to Sui to preside over the work. And Han Yunhua did not disappoint everyone, in just over 40 days of fighting, the main elite of the Yue army surrounded and annihilated more than 100,000 people, and achieved the most brilliant results in China's war of resistance against Yue.

The problems of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have been accumulated over a long period of time, and it is impossible to solve them all at once, and if the central authorities are too anxious, it will not be beautiful, and it will even cause a strong backlash from the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region. Han Yunhua's loyalty to the party is beyond doubt, and the Central Committee cannot go too far with such a good comrade. And Han Yunhua's age is too young, although youth is sometimes linked to impulsiveness and shallow qualifications, but youth has the advantage of being young, young means that he has vitality and momentum, and that he has a great future, and he is definitely not like the long-legged general among the five tiger generals in Chiang Kai-shek's hands.

"Chairman, I think you should get up and talk about it, otherwise these people don't know what bad ideas they will come up with. Although Comrade Han Yunhua didn't say anything about those things some time ago, he was definitely unhappy in his heart. Even Comrade Zuo Quan was very resistant to the orders of the Central Committee some time ago, and we cannot let them continue like this. Vice Chairman Zhou whispered to [***].

[***] thought for a while and said: "Enlai, you are very right, it is not our [***] people's practice to do it behind people's backs, it will make the comrades feel unbalanced." ”

After speaking, [***] stood up and said loudly: "Comrades, please be quiet, I have listened carefully to everyone's speeches just now, everyone's problems with the Inner Mongolia Military Region are mainly focused on the promotion of military cadres, everyone agrees that Comrade Han Yunhua's actions violate the relevant regulations of the Party Central Committee, and the composition of the troops in the Inner Mongolia Military Region is complex and dangerous, so I want to make a little adjustment to this." What the comrades said is very reasonable, but comrades, we should not just look at these shortcomings or existing problems, and the contribution of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, especially Comrade Han Yunhua, to our party and our army is obvious to all, and I hope that the comrades can look at the problem dialectically. I see that everyone has now made a mistake in the direction, and some comrades have already changed the direction of the matter to Comrade Han Yunhua. [***] 's tone became more and more severe, he knew very well that if he let some people do this again, Han Yunhua would probably be ruined by them, so he had to beat these people.

After a pause, [***] continued: "Comrades, we can put all problems on the table to discuss, this is our [***] people's style of doing things, if there are problems, we can solve them, and if we do too much, we will hurt our comrades." Since we are going to discuss the issue of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, is it a little unreasonable to turn our backs on Comrade Han Yunhua and other comrades of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and is it very unfair to them, so I believe that the fundamental reason why the methods we discussed several times ago have failed one after another is that they are divorced from the reality of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and we are not clear about the actual situation of the Inner Mongolia Military Region at all. Therefore, I suggest that since we want to solve the problems existing in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, we must have a full understanding of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and Han Yunhua and all party and government personnel. Is it too much for a group of people like us to discuss with the comrades at the front line how to restrict their rights, so I think that the solution of the problem of the Inner Mongolia Military Region must be carried out with the consent of Comrade Han Yunhua and with his help. I still believe in Comrade Han Yunhua personally, he is a real general and our [***] lucky general. So we don't need to be so sneaky at all, he does have such and such problems in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and we are right to talk about it on the table, and he Han Yunhua can't say anything. But there is something wrong with us secretly, what we are afraid of, what is not to be seen. Therefore, I suggest that today's meeting will not be discussed for the time being, and when the fighting on the front line subsides after a while, we will invite Comrade Han Yunhua to Yan'an and talk face-to-face again. ”

As soon as the words fell, Vice Chairman Zhou got up and said: "Comrades, I didn't want to say anything about the Inner Mongolia Military Region, after all, Comrade Han Yunhua was brought up by a few of our old guys, and he has always been a guard by my side, so I should avoid suspicion." However, I think what the chairman said is very reasonable, even if we make a resolution today, even if Comrade Han Yunhua is removed as the commander, I think Comrade Han Yunhua will still carry it out. Some time ago, the transfer of cadres and the change of troops had already caused panic among the people of the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region, and even Comrade Zuo Quan sent a telegram complaining, and the comrades of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters were also very dissatisfied with the decision made by the central authorities, so I think we should have a good time reflecting on it, and I suggest that before Comrade Han Yunhua arrives, it is necessary for us to send a working group to the Inner Mongolia Military Region to have a look and understand the real situation in the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Only with this understanding will our decision be supported by the Inner Mongolia Military Region and all the fighters. Comrades, we and Comrade Han Yunhua are not on opposite sides, we are comrades, and we can say any opinions face-to-face, what do you think? ”

"I agree with Comrade Enlai's opinion, since I want to know a real Inner Mongolia Military Region and the real Han Yunhua, then I think this time this working group should be large in number and scale, and the level should be high enough. Therefore, I suggest that it is more appropriate for a comrade or chairman of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to go, and during this period of time, the front-line war has just ended, and the army has been frightened by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and it is not capable of launching a large-scale campaign in a short period of time, so the safety of the working group is guaranteed. Commander-in-Chief Zhu, who had just returned to Yan'an, got up and said.

Two days later, the Inner Mongolia Military Region received a telegram from a central working group led by Vice Chairman Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu to inspect the Inner Mongolia Military Region, ordering the Inner Mongolia Military Region to do a good job in receiving them.

This telegram from the central authorities has caused the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region to be in a state of flux, and it is very rare for the central working group to come down to inspect it, and it is inexperienced in how to receive all the people. However, after all, Han Yunhua has been in the army for a long time, and he has also seen many big leaders of the Military Commission of later generations go to inspect, so he is not nervous about the arrival of the central working group this time.

Not being nervous does not mean that Han Yunhua dares to slack off. Han Yunhua knew that the arrival of the central working group this time was definitely because the central authorities wanted to thoroughly understand the Inner Mongolia Military Region, so this time the military region absolutely could not hide it, but must bring out all its strength and give a good influence to the comrades of the central working group. Therefore, this face-saving project must be done well, and the lining must also be done well.

Therefore, Han Yunhua quickly sent a telegram to the entire military region in the name of the commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, in which he ordered all the troops of the military region to immediately rest and recuperate on the spot, all units to immediately complete the replenishment of their troops, and the surplus troops to be returned to Guisui immediately, and the commanders of all divisions to immediately return to their respective units to preside over the work.

Not to mention that the Inner Mongolia Military Region went all out to prepare for war and nervously greeted the inspection of the central working group. Since then, after the Battle of North China, the entire North China Front has fallen into an embattled situation. Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the National People's Republic of China had withdrawn their troops, such a fiasco unexpectedly alarmed Emperor Momoto, although it has always been said that North China has been more complicated than Jiangnan and difficult to operate. And it is often besieged by the [***] team, and there has been a great defeat in Guisui before, and even the commander of the army stationed in Mongolia was killed by the [***] team. But it was the first time that such a large-scale battle as the Battle of North China had been defeated so badly.
