Chapter 110 Northeast Field Army
Passing on the ancestry is a very sacred thing in China. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć During the war years, no one knew what their future fate would be, and having a descendant to continue their own or their family's bloodline was also the purest wish in the hearts of many people.
From the day he traveled to this era, He Zhengdao felt that he had come with a mission. Even if he has changed a lot of history, in the dead of night, he still feels extremely lonely and lonely.
In the eyes of others, He Zhengdao may be famous for showing his outstanding achievements at such a young age. But in He Zhengdao's opinion, he is always missing something from this world, and he always unconsciously thinks of his life before he crosses over.
Before the crossing, he had an equally distinguished job and a happy family. But after traveling to this time and space, he found that the family that should have existed seemed to have disappeared into the long river of history.
Until he got married and started a family in this era, He Zhengdao also felt that he had finally integrated into this era and finally had a confidant who could stay with him for life. But for the continuation of the bloodline, He Zhengdao is actually very concerned.
It's just that he has been married for so long, and he hasn't heard any good news from Chen Siya, He Zhengdao doesn't think it's Chen Siya's problem, but more that maybe the problem is in his heart. After all, he is a traverser, and there are always some sequelae!
However, at this moment, I heard the good news told by Zhou Enlai, as well as the handwritten letter that Chen Siya asked him to pass on his behalf. Knowing that Chen Siya had been pregnant for more than four months, He Zhengdao also felt full of joy. He finally has a queen!
Having this offspring means that he can also continue the family bloodline in this era, and it is even possible to rebuild the family. This kind of joy is a joyful thing for every first-time father.
Listening to the congratulatory voices of Chen Yun and others, He Zhengdao also rarely said stupidly: "It's so good, I can also be a father!" ā
When a sentence was spoken, everyone laughed. But among these laughing people, there are still people who envy him. This person is Zhou Enlai who conveyed the good news, why doesn't he want to have a queen!
It's just that there are some things that can't be forced. But no matter what, looking at He Zhengdao, who should be mighty in the eyes of others, is as stupid as an ordinary person, Zhou Enlai also feels that He Zhengdao's appearance at this moment is really difficult to see!
While chatting about these gossips, Zhou Enlai also said in a timely manner: "On the way you came earlier, the chairman and the boss sent me a telegram. I think you got it too! If you can, you'd better go back to Yan'an.
Although Xiao Yana has always refused to let us tell you the good news in advance. But we all know that she's afraid to worry and distract you. Speaking of which, it's also a lucky thing for your kid to ask Xiaoya to be his wife.
In two days, I will also take these supplies back to Yan'an. If you can spare time, then go back to Yan'an, and by the way, report to the chairman and Mr. Zhu about the reorganization of your department.
Speaking of which, if the main divisions are to be reorganized at the moment, I am afraid that the troops under your command will still be the largest. As for the future reorganization plan of your department, I think it is also what the central government and the headquarters are most concerned about.
If it weren't for the commanders of the Anti-Japanese Federation, it would still be a bit far away from us, and we also hope that they will report back to Yan'an. But in this situation, we still want to hear your opinions first, and then report to the Anti-United Nations! ā
As for how the troops under He Zhengdao's current command will be reorganized, many people feel that there is nothing to worry about. However, with regard to the reorganization of the three units of the Anti-Japanese Federation outside the border, it is necessary to have some good discussions.
In any case, although the strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation outside the customs is not very good, it is also a worthy anti-Japanese army. After insisting on fighting behind enemy lines for so many years, I can't be too wronged by them, both in public and private.
It's just that at present, many of the so-called main divisions of the Anti-Japanese Federation are not as strong as even a regiment in Guannei. How can such a division-level unit be recognized by the headquarters? If it is to be reorganized, it means that many people will have to adjust their positions.
Under such circumstances, how to make the Anti-Japanese Federation accept the reorganization of the General Headquarters and how to make the commanders of all walks of life willing to obey the command of He Zhengdao, the direct commander, is also an issue that needs to be treated cautiously.
Listening to Zhou Enlai's words, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Actually, on the way here, I have already considered the matter of troop reorganization. Judging from the current situation, the reorganization of the armed forces is also imperative.
In the future, if our unit wants to support the army's northeast operations, it must also organize more main combat units at the division level. Only in this way can we confront the Kwantung Army at the division and regimental level and integrate forces to fight against it.
It was with these in mind that I sent a telegram asking the political commissar and Director Tan to come to Zhangjiakou to convene a meeting of the military party committee. Since you are also Vice Chairman Zhou, why don't you listen to my reorganization plan together? ā
'Okay, then let's hear your opinion first!' ā
After re-seating, He Zhengdao quickly said: "In view of the current scale of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, as well as the future battle against the enemy. In response to the call of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, our department felt that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army would be reorganized into the Northeast Field Army, referred to as the East Field Army. ā
In fact, as far as He Zhengdao is concerned, as for the other main divisions, all of them have been expanded into combat units at the army level. He Zhengdao felt that the establishment of troops at the army level was also not suitable for the current Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.
For this reason, he felt that it was time for the unit to be renamed the Northeast Field Army!
Hearing this name, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said, "Well, that's good! The field army should be similar in nature to the corps, right? ā
'Yes! In order to distinguish and divide the operational regions of various units, and to better expand our operational influence in the Northeast, I think that the reorganization of the troops into the Northeast Field Army will also be more conducive to enhancing our image.
According to the current scale of our unit and the operational nature of the troops, I have decided to set up the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Divisions as the first column in the East Field, and the commander and leader of the column are to be determined for the time being.
All cavalry units were reorganized into the Dongye Second Column, and the commander was Comrade Niu Zhikun of the current 1st Division. As for the political commissar and the leaders of the other columns, they are also to be determined. The column, with three cavalry divisions retained, was expanded by one infantry division.
The sub-division headquarters of the Eastern Hebei Army was reorganized into the three columns of Dongye, with Comrade Xu Mingyuan as the commander, and the leaders of the other columns to be determined. The column formed three main divisions and one garrison division with the existing forces.
As for the anti-coalition forces outside the Guan, they were reorganized into the Dongye Fourth Column, and I think it would be more appropriate for Comrade Yang Jingyu to be the commander of the column. The leaders of the rest of the columns should be selected from the other units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and all the units should be reorganized into three main divisions.
I think it would be more appropriate for Comrade Guo Junjie of the advance column to serve as the commander of one of the divisions. The rest of the anti-union troops were reorganized into two main divisions, and the candidates for division commanders were also nominated and declared by their columns at that time.
Second, a column directly under the Northeast Field Army was established, and the commander of the column was temporarily held by me. The directly subordinate column is composed of the Saber Special Operations Brigade, the Armored Brigade, the Artillery Brigade and the Special Division, and shall be directly under the command of the Field Army Command.
The first column is mainly responsible for the defense of the Zhangjiakou area, the second column is mainly responsible for the defense of Suimengrecha and other places, and the third column is responsible for the defense of the eastern Hebei region. The four verticals are still outside the customs at present, and the future will be determined according to the situation. ā
With He Zhengdao's words, Zhou Enlai calculated: "In this way, your field army will have no less than fourteen main divisions when it is full?" The total number of troops should be no less than 200,000, right? ā
To be precise, the strength of the expanded Northeast Field Army should greatly exceed 200,000. During the reorganization period, all garrison units held a large-scale military competition, and those with outstanding results were added to the main combat units.
As for the garrison troops in various localities, they were replenished from the guerrilla units in the liberated areas. In any case, the garrison has a bearing on the source of reserve troops of our main force, and whether or not it can be replenished in a timely manner can also ensure public order and stability in the liberated areas. ā
Just when Zhou Enlai felt that this adaptation plan was somewhat beyond imagination. He Zhengdao said very calmly: "Vice Chairman Zhou, the future combat object of the Northeast Field Army is the Kwantung Army outside the Guan.
Although at the moment we are fighting with the Kwantung Army, we have a certain advantage. Judging from the comparison of the forces of the two sides, we still look very weak. In recent years, the expansion of the Kwantung Army has also been astonishingly fast.
As far as we can tell us so far, there are no less than 12 main combat divisions under the command of the Kwantung Army. Even if we wiped out all of them, it didn't hurt them either. I'm afraid that this little force is far from enough.
If possible, in the future, the Northeast Field Army will also set up the fifth and sixth columns on the existing basis. When we have absolute superiority in the face of the Kwantung Army, the expansion of our troops will come to an end.
At the very least, I hope that the future Northeast Field Army will not just be a field unit with only infantry. I also hope that in the future, the Northeast Field Army will not be limited to operations in the Northeast, or that I hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to lead troops to Tokyo! ā
Perhaps in the eyes of others, He Zhengdao's reorganization plan seems a little too large. Compared with other main divisions, after the expansion, it was only promoted to a combat unit at the army level, which was similar to the establishment of a column of He Zhengdao.
And under the command of He Zhengdao, aside from the directly subordinate column with the strongest combat effectiveness, there are still four main columns. If such a reorganization plan is thrown out, I am afraid that it will also shock many people's jaws.
can think about it from another angle, there are so many troops under the command of He Zhengdao at the moment. So if he is not reorganized, he can still command so many troops. Some people may think that He Zhengdao's expansion is somewhat self-respecting.
But in fact, if He Zhengdao didn't have so many troops on hand, how could he dare to regain the northeast? After all, if you don't have any hard goods in your hands, how dare you die with the Kwantung Army?
When He Zhengdao expressed his ambitions, Chen Yun, Ye Jianying and Tan Zhen also felt enthusiastic. Especially the last sentence 'horses set foot in Tokyo', isn't it their ambition as soldiers?
