"Comrade Liu Hua, this is the right granted to you by the Party Central Committee, and a few of our old fellows have completely agreed. So don't hesitate at all. After the troops enter the northeast, as long as you think you can, you can do whatever you want, and there should be absolutely no hesitation. We believe in you, so we will give you so much power. You must know that since the founding of our party, there has never been such a thing. However, in order for our army to open up a new situation in the three northeastern provinces, this happened to you. Therefore, I hope that you will not live up to the expectations of all of us for you, and complete the tasks entrusted to you by the Party Central Committee..."Seeing Liu Hua with a shocked face in front of him, the chairman said affirmatively in an undoubted tone..."Yes, chairman, leaders, Liu Hua promises to complete the task and live up to the expectations and trust of the leaders in me, please rest assured..." At this moment, facing the expectant gaze of the three-dimensional leader in front of him, Liu Hua no longer had any reason to refuse. Without any hesitation, he replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, this is like our hero division commander Liu Hua, be decisive when you should be decisive, don't have any hesitation..." A few days later, in his room, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, who were waiting for the central government's order, were once again called to the small courtyard where the chairman was located by the guards beside the chairman. Just like the first time I was invited by the chairman to finish dinner, Vice Chairman Zhou and the commander-in-chief also sat at the dinner table, waiting for the arrival of the two people...

"Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Luo Ronghuan. Before eating, I announce a command to you. Tomorrow morning, you will be able to set off and return to your base area to take charge of all matters relating to the formation of the Northeast Field Army. A month later, the central authorities began to relocate. At the same time, after our jackets, regarding the time of the Northeast Field Army's specific attack on the Northeast, a few of us will not make any requirements, and all of them will be handed over to you and Luo Ronghuan to study and decide on their own.

"Thank you for your trust, we will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and successfully complete this arduous task, please rest assured..."

"Well, the order has been read, and all that's left is to eat. Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan, tonight's meal, even if it is a farewell banquet prepared for you by the three of us old guys. I hope that after today, in a few years' time, when we gather again at the same table for dinner, the entire three eastern provinces, as you say, will be completely controlled by our army and will become another solid base for our army...", the chairman continued. At the same time, he raised a glass of wine in front of him..."Come, Enlai, boss, the three of us will first toast Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan with a glass of wine, and wish the Northeast Field Army led by the two comrades to success." In the Northeast region, open up a new anti-Japanese base and open up a new situation in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Propaganda...."The chairman raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile on his face to the two partners beside him....

A dinner, perhaps because the chairman and others were too happy, the five people, except for Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the commander-in-chief were all drunk. After arranging for the guards to send all three chiefs back to their rooms for rest, the two men walked out of the small courtyard where the chairman was and walked back to their own residence not far away..."Commander, it seems that the chairman has high expectations for our actions this time. However, as soon as I thought that after we entered the Northeast, I would be able to accomplish this arduous task in the face of the Kwantung Army, which had the most powerful combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army. "I felt the cold wind of the night, constantly blowing on my face. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a worried face when he thought of the trust of the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and the commander-in-chief at the dinner table.

"Commissar, do you remember my assurances to the leaders at the Politburo meeting? Although the Kwantung Army of the little devils has nearly a million troops, its weapons and equipment are several times superior to ours. However, I am confident that in less than three years, the strength of our Northeast Field Army will definitely be able to compete directly with the little devil Kwantung Army....In addition, in four years at most, I will drive all the little devils out of the three eastern provinces and liberate the entire three eastern provinces..."Regarding the political commissar's worries, Liu Hua replied confidently.

"Commander, when I hear your words, I don't worry. You know, in the past two years, you have never broken your word to me. Commander, although I have been appointed by the Central Committee as the first political commissar of the Northeast Field Army, I would like to assure you here that I will absolutely and unconditionally support you in military command. At the same time, I will try to support you in all other aspects. Seeing Liu Hua with a confident face in front of him, and the political commissar who was still worried just now, his face was immediately replaced by self-confidence, and he said loudly to the commander Liu Hua in front of him..."Political commissar, I believe that as long as we are sincerely united, the Northeast Field Army will definitely be able to develop and grow at its fastest speed in the next few years, drive out the 1 million Kwantung Army from the three eastern provinces, and liberate tens of millions of ordinary people in the three eastern provinces. When the time comes, we will build the entire Northeast Field Army into the most powerful army force in the whole of China, nay, the whole world..."I don't know why, Commander Liu Hua suddenly had a very strong confidence in his heart, and replied proudly to Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar in front of him.

"Commander, I believe in you, as long as we can unite sincerely, there will be no hurdles that cannot be overcome on the road ahead... Commander, according to the meaning of several leaders, we can leave Yan'an tomorrow, you see, how should it be arranged? After all, we have brought nearly 10,000 troops, and we must make a plan in advance. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded and asked....

"Political commissar, the two of us, without any hesitation, must rush back to Taiyuan as soon as possible. After all, the reorganization of the entire 100,000-strong army, after the reorganization of the troops, all the aftermath matters in various parts of the base area need to be handled by the two of us with a nod of nod. However, in a month's time, all organs of the Party Central Committee will be transferred. And in the entire center, there is only one strength of the guard regiment. Even if the Party Central Committee uses this month's time to reorganize the Central Guard Corps into a Central Guard Division, it will need a large number of troops and means of transport to assist various organs and departments of the Central Committee in carrying out the transfer..."Liu Hua replied thoughtfully..."Commander, what do you mean? I think it is okay, especially the guard brigade, which is all infantry, and if you follow us back to the base area, it will take at least a week or more on the road. If we only carried cavalry troops, the whole trip would be shortened to two or three days. Commander, I completely agree with your intention to leave the main forces behind to assist the various organs of the Central Committee in the transfer. You see, which troops stayed, and which troops returned to the base area with us..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan thought for a while, and replied with a sudden understanding: "Okay, then we will decide like this." My idea is that the two of us, with the guard battalion directly under the cavalry brigade, will hurry up all the way and rush back to Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the base area. As for the remaining guard brigades, the main forces of the cavalry brigades, the air defense brigades, and the transport brigades of the logistics department, they were all left behind and handed over to the unified command of the Party Central Committee, which was responsible for protecting and assisting the various departments of the Party Central Committee in their transfer. A month later, after returning to the base area with the Party Central Committee, the rebuilding will be carried out. Commissar, what do you think? "With the consent of the political commissar, Liu Hua said all his thoughts in one go..."I completely agree with you. Early tomorrow morning, we will bid farewell to the chairman and several other leaders, and by the way, we will transfer the command of several units to the hands of the Party Central Committee. Then he went into battle lightly, returned to the base area as quickly as possible, and presided over the reorganization of the troops..."Luo Ronghuan nodded, and said his suggestion affirmatively.

The next morning, after a night's rest, the chairman and others, after listening to the suggestions of Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, did not hesitate and directly took over the command of the three troops. The chairman said with a smile to Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, who were about to leave.

"Comrade Liu Hua and Comrade Luo Ronghuan, I hope that in a month's time, when we arrive in Taiyuan, the elite Northeast Field Army will be able to stand in front of us and accept the review of the Party Central Committee. How about it, do you have the confidence to complete this arduous task and complete the reorganization of all four field columns within a month..."

"Chairman, leaders, I, Liu Hua, am here to assure you that I will definitely not disappoint your expectations. Within one month, the Northeast Field Army was completely reorganized. At the same time, with the political commissar, with 100,000 commanders and fighters of the Northeast Field Army, in Taiyuan City, to welcome the review of the leaders of the Party Central Committee..."Liu Hua saluted and replied confidently..."Very good, go, we old guys, just wait for your good news... When the time comes, you must have a good review of your 100,000 Northeast Field Army..."The chairman nodded and said with a satisfied face... Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan and more than 300 people from the cavalry brigade guard battalion, riding war horses, quickly left Yan'an and galloped in the direction of Taiyuan City. Because of the assistance of the war horses, coupled with the fact that there was no disturbance from the army, the whole march process was unusually smooth. The group, at noon on the third day of departure, had already seen the tall city walls of Taiyuan City... Because there was no specific news of the return to the headquarters, at this moment, the entire Taiyuan City was very calm, and no one knew the news of the return of the commander and the political commissar at this moment... After passing the inspection of the sentry at the city gate, a group of hundreds of people, in the envious and shocked eyes of the sentry at the city gate, entered Taiyuan City, where they had left for more than half a month, and returned to the Taiyuan Headquarters that had been lost for a long time... After stopping the act of coming back from being excited because of seeing himself, the two of them quietly entered the war room in the headquarters with an excited face, and was about to report to Li Qing, the chief of staff in the war room, and his return... Entering the headquarters, several huge military maps hanging on the wall have been replaced by the military map of North China to the map of all [***] events, and several maps have been replaced with the military map of Northeast China captured at the headquarters of the army in Beiping... And Li Qing, chief of staff, the temporary supreme commander of the entire military region, was standing with his back to him, standing in front of a huge military map of Northeast China, thinking motionlessly. As for the various operational staff officers in the headquarters, they were busy with their own affairs, and for a while, no one noticed Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, who had already walked into the war room... Seeing the orderly war room, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. However, at this moment, an exclamation reached the ears of the two: "Ah! Commander, commissar, when did you come back? A communications staff officer who was about to leave the war room, after looking at Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan standing at the door, after a short period of shock and surprise, exclaimed with a look of surprise..."What? The commander and commissar are back, and there? For a moment, all the personnel in the entire war room stopped what they were doing almost at the same time. All eyes converged on the door of the war room....and Li Qing, the chief of staff, who was facing a map of the Northeast and fell into the meditation of Tus, blurted out and asked... However, just when Chief of Staff Li Qing turned his head and looked at the mouth of the headquarters. Two familiar faces had caught his eye. In an instant, the questioning look on the chief of staff's face was immediately replaced by surprise: "Commander, political commissar, when did you come back, why didn't you send a telegram so that we could go and greet you?" ”

"Hehe, Lao Li, we have been partners for several years, do we still need to be so polite. How about it, in the more than half a month since I left the political commissar and me, has anything happened to the military region? However, I saw the orderly scene in the war room of the headquarters, there should be nothing major happening? Liu Hua smiled and asked, "Commander, nothing can escape your eyes." In the past half a month, nothing major has happened in the military region. All the troops, according to the plan you had made before you left, are training in their own way. However, after half a month of training, the hands of the military commanders of various units seemed to be a little itchy again, and they sent reports to the headquarters all day and night, asking if there was a new combat plan. Chief of Staff Li Qing shook his head and said with a smile on his face..."These people just can't be idle." It's only been more than half a month, and my hands are starting to itch. However, this time, the two of us, the political commissar and I, really brought back a very huge operational plan of action. As long as this plan goes well, we'll have countless battles to fight over the next few years... I hope that when the time comes, these commanders will not dislike the battle to be fought too much..."Liu Hua replied with the same smile on his face..."Commander, do you mean that the central government has agreed to our march into the northeast?" Hearing Liu Hua's answer, Chief of Staff Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately reacted, and asked excitedly..."Let's go, let's go to the conference room next to it, and let the political commissar inform you about the specific content of the enlarged Politburo meeting held in Yan'an and several important resolutions." As for the plan to send troops to the northeast, we will discuss it later. Liu Hua nodded, pointed to a small conference room next to the battle, and said.

Entering the conference room, under the anxious gaze of Chief of Staff Li Qing. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan began to tell little by little the important resolutions and orders of the Party Central Committee in the enlarged meeting of the Politburo in the past few days..."Congratulations, Commander. It's really unthinkable that you are not only an alternate member of the Central Committee, but also an alternate member of the Politburo. After listening to the words of the political commissar, Chief of Staff Li Qing said excitedly while envious. Because, as the superior, Liu Hua's position in the party has been improved, which means that the position of the reader in the minds of several leaders of the Party Central Committee has improved. And as the chief of staff, he will also rise because of the improvement of the status of the troops. Although he is not yet an alternate member of the Central Committee, but there is an alternate member of the Politburo here, the commander, and there will be no doubt about the election of an alternate member at the next congress0...

"Lao Li, this resolution not only represents the expectations and trust of the Party Central Committee for our commanders, but more importantly, it is a foreshadowing of the Central Committee's plan for us to march into the Northeast. Let me tell you, after the enlarged meeting of the Politburo, with the consent of several leaders of the Politburo, the Party Central Committee has decided to directly reorganize our reading division into the Northeast Field Army. As for the establishment of reading teachers, it will continue to be retained and reorganized by the Party Central Committee..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a smile..."What? Forming the Northeast Field Army? The Party Central Committee has agreed to our march into the Northeast?" Li Qing couldn't help but exclaimed, "Well, the Party Central Committee has completely agreed to the operational plan formulated by our General Staff. First of all, the Northeast Field Army will be formed on the basis of the various units of the Reading Division, and after the reorganization of the troops is completed, we will look for a suitable opportunity to directly march into the Northeast and reopen up a new base area in the three northeastern provinces. In addition, in order to make the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation feel the importance attached to them by the Party Central Committee, Comrade Yang Jingyu, commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Federation, has been added as the first deputy commander of the field army, and Comrade Peng Zhen has been added as director of the first political department of the field army. At the same time, the entire Northeast Field Army will include five field columns, a special forces column, and some directly subordinate units, with a total strength of more than 120,000 troops..." As he spoke, the political commissar had already taken out an order of the Central Military Commission and handed it to Chief of Staff Li Qing, who was in shock because of his own words.
