The formation of aviation of the Northeast Field Army
Without the drag of various war materials, coupled with the cover of the upcoming Shijiazhuang offensive and defensive battle in North China, Liu Hua and his party easily passed through the Pingjin area where the Japanese army was seriously ill. In the end, it only took more than a week to successfully cross the Shanhaiguan Pass and return to the base where he had been separated for almost a month, and earth-shaking changes had taken place.
And just when Liu Hua and others, with a large number of cadres supported by the central government, hurried day and night, and finally rushed back to the base area. More than 100 combat planes that were successfully captured by the special operations division have successfully arrived at the Mukden airfield for two full days.
At this moment, more than 100 precious combat planes have been quietly transferred to the underground hangar that has been prepared long ago under the arrangement of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, waiting for the return of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua. After that, the first aviation unit of the Northeast Field Army was formed.
Inside the field army headquarters, after a short break. All the members of the party committee of the Northeast Field Army gathered in the small conference room of the headquarters to listen to the latest instructions brought by Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua from the Central Committee. As for Zuo Quan, chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army, Su Yu, commander of the mechanized corps, and Liu Hua, the first commander of the Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps, who had just taken office, and asked Comrade Xiao Hua, the first commander of the Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps, as the new member of the party committee of the Northeast Field Army, all of them attended the meeting as observers and sat on the rostrum next to Liu Hua without any accidents.
With all the attendees in attendance. Liu Hua was not polite, stood up directly from his seat, picked up several signed appointment reports, and read them out excitedly to the commanders at all levels who looked forward to it in front of him.
"Comrades, before the meeting, I would like to read out to you the appointment and dismissal reports that have just been issued."
"The order, after studying and deciding, appoints Comrade Zuo Quan, former deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, to the post of chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army from now on. At the same time, Comrade Zuo Quan was appointed as a member of the Party Committee and Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Zuo Quan was co-opted as deputy of the Northeast Bureau. Now, please welcome the arrival of Chief of Staff Zuo with warm applause. ”
A burst of warm applause began to sound in the conference room as Liu Hua's words fell. Obviously, from the warm applause, it is clear that everyone is very much in favor of and excited about Zuo Quan's appointment to the post of chief of general staff of the Northeast Field Army
After pressing his hands, after the applause in the conference room slowly stopped, Liu Hua continued to speak.
"Alright. I believe that after Comrade Zuo Quan assumed the post of chief of staff of our Northeast Field Army. We will definitely be able to lead our Northeast Field Army to achieve more achievements in future battles. I now turn to the second appointment report. It was decided to appoint Comrade Su Yu, former deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, to serve as the first commander and political commissar of the mechanized corps to be formed by the Northeast Field Army from now on. At the same time, Comrade Su Yu was appointed as a member of the Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army...."
The second round of applause that rang out in the conference room was once again silenced. Liu Hua continued to read out.
"Comrades, here today, in addition to the appointment of the Chief of Staff and Commander Su, there is another important thing to announce to you. At present, among all the corps commanders of our Northeast Field Army, except for Commander Wang Zhen of the Fourth Column and Commander Su Yu, who has just taken office, who are members of the Party Committee and Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army, the remaining four commanders have not yet entered the party committee sequence of the Northeast Field Army. ”
"So, in order to increase democracy and equality within the field army, strengthen the links between the field army headquarters and the various units. After my application, it was decided to add a total of 13 comrades, including Comrade Xiao Hua, Comrade Sun Xingbang, Comrade Zhao Dahe, Comrade Gao Yuan, Comrade Chen Dazhong, Comrade Wang Nanhu, Comrade Chen Revolution, Comrade Zhou Baozhong, Comrade Zhang Songping, Comrade Chen Hao, Comrade Chen Zhengxiang, Comrade Bruce Lee, and Comrade Chen Guangrong, as members of the Party Committee of the Northeast Field Army. In addition, Comrade Xiao Hua was added as a member of the Party Committee and Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army. ”
The last order of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was undoubtedly a very huge bombshell, which shocked everyone in front of them who attended the meeting.
Although, in the order of the commander-in-chief, a total of thirteen people, in the positions in the troops, nothing has changed. However, it was able to get the approval of the Central Committee and enter the sequence of members of the Party Committee of the Northeast Field Army. That means that his position in the party has made a very big progress. At the same time, I also told everyone that the current status of the Northeast Field Army in the party is no less than that of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in Guannai...,
Thinking of this, everyone's face showed a look of excitement and excitement. The eyes of the commanders showed a trace of heat, just like looking at a baby, staring at the commander-in-chief Liu Hua on the rostrum.
Of course, compared with the excitement of other people in the conference room, Luo Ronghua, the political commissar sitting on the rostrum, has always shown a calm expression. pressed his hands, and after the applause that resounded throughout the command slowly stopped, he asked Liu Hua beside him what he wanted to do most at this moment.
"Commander-in-chief, in the order just now, Comrade Xiao Hua, who has just been co-opted as a member of the Party Committee and Standing Committee of our Northeast Field Army, seems to be the first political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Air Force directly under the Central Committee. How? The Central Committee has also transferred Comrade Xiao Hua to our Northeast Field Army. ”
Liu Hua nodded and explained to the political commissar beside him.
"Political commissar, so far in the development of our Northeast Field Army, among all arms of the army, the only thing we lack is the navy and air force. Navy, we do not have the capabilities and the conditions for development. However, the Air Force units. To say an exaggeration, in future battles, if we do not have a strong air force, it will be difficult for us to carry out a large-scale strategic decisive battle under the blows of the superior air power of the Japanese army. Even if some major strategic decisive battles are barely carried out, then there are very huge constraints. Therefore, the development of our own air power is a bottleneck for our Northeast Field Army to continue to develop and grow. Only when air power is truly established can our Northeast Field Army be able to compete with the Kwantung Army in a whole way. ”
Seeing that political commissar Luo Ronghua, along with dozens of commanders under the rostrum, they all nodded in agreement. Liu Hua continued.
"In order to develop the air power of our Northeast Field Army. In the shortest possible time, the first aviation unit of our Northeast Field Army will be formed. I was cheeky and made a request to the Party Central Committee to transfer Comrade Xiao Hua, the current political commissar of the Air Force directly under the Central Committee, to our Northeast Field Army and serve as the first commander and political commissar of the Air Force Corps of our Northeast Field Army. ”
"Served as the first commander of the Air Corps of our Northeast Field Army... Commander, great, you've thought too well ...
"A few days ago, looking at the more than a hundred combat aircraft of various types captured by the special operations division from the Tianjin airfield. I'm still worried. Now that we have so many air force equipment and pilots, who should be in command of this air force? You must know that as far as the eye can see, there is basically not a single commander at or above the division level in the entire Northeast Field Army who has ever had experience in commanding air force operations. Now, with Comrade Xiao Hua, we no longer have to worry about the air force corps that we are about to establish..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said excitedly.
However, when they heard the conversation between the commander-in-chief and the political commissar in front of them, they immediately showed a look of doubt on the faces of the generals who knew nothing about the imminent establishment of an air corps by the Northeast Field Army and the successful capture of more than 100 combat planes of various kinds from the Tianjin airport.
Seeing the instantaneous change in the expressions on the faces of the generals in front of him, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua immediately understood something. Facing Li Qing, deputy chief of staff of the field army, he said with a smile on his face.
"Lao Li, it seems that we have done a good job of keeping secrets in our base. More than 100 combat planes flew back to the base area and were at the same Mukden airfield. It's been a few days. These generals with heavy troops do not know the specific situation. Quickly, let me introduce to you the upcoming formation of the Air Force Corps by our Northeast Field Army, so that everyone will be happy and happy with us. ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief," Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing replied very cheerfully.
Then, he quickly stood up from his seat and introduced to the generals in front of him with expectant expressions.
"Comrades, since half a month ago, the news that the base area was subjected to uninterrupted air raids by the Japanese army and that the troops and the entire base area suffered heavy losses reached the ears of the central leaders of the Taiyuan Party Central Committee and the commander-in-chief. After approval, the commander-in-chief applied to decide to form our own air force in the three eastern provinces and use our own air force to balance the air power of the Kwantung Army. ”
"Of course, to form an air force, the first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of the equipment of the troops. As a result, the Tianjin airfield, where more than 200 combat planes were stationed, became a piece of fat in the commander-in-chief's mouth. ”,
Seeing everyone's eyes, a trace of shock immediately appeared, and Chief of Staff Li Qing continued to speak.
"After the deployment of the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff, plus the support of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in North China. The special operations division successfully raided the Tianjin airfield and successfully intercepted 185 combat planes surrounded by heavy troops from the little devils. At present, more than 180 combat planes captured by our special operations division are parked in the underground hangar of Fengtian Airport. As long as the commander-in-chief gives an order, the first aviation unit of our Northeast Field Army can be formed immediately..."
"Bang Bang..."
This time, the applause in the conference room can be said to be the most enthusiastic so far. Because these generals who have led troops for ten years, or even more than ten years. On more than one occasion, I have tasted the huge casualties incurred by our own troops in the course of fighting an enemy with air superiority without air superiority.
Therefore, after hearing that the Northeast Field Army was about to form its first aviation unit, and at the beginning of its formation, the entire aviation unit had more than 180 combat aircraft of various types. This has to make these battle-hardened veterans feel excited and excited.
And at this moment, everyone is in the solemn conference room, in front of the solemn party flag. The only thing I can do is to desperately malfunction and warm applause to vent my excitement at this moment.
The long-lasting applause finally stopped slowly under the signal of the commander-in-chief Liu Hua. Comrade Xiao Hua, commander of the Air Force Corps just appointed by the Central Committee, also stood up from his seat at Liu Hua's signal. Immediately, Liu Hua continued to order.
"Comrades, it is now up to me to personally read out the decision on appointment and dismissal. After a decision, Comrade Xiao Hua, former political commissar of the Air Force, was appointed as the first commander and political commissar of the Air Force Corps of the Northeast Field Army from now on. At the same time, Comrade Xiao Hua was co-opted as a member of the Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army...."
As soon as Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's words fell, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan also stood up from his seat with an excited face, and read out loudly to the excited crowd: "Comrades, now I announce that the Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps, headed by Commander Xiao Hua, will be formally established from today....Next, please Zuo Quan, Chief of Staff, to announce to you that after the establishment of the Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps, the specific establishment and staffing of the entire corps..."
"Yes, Commissar..."
At this moment, under the serial bombardment of a series of bombshells. Sitting under the rostrum, the faces of dozens of high-ranking generals had already shown shocked expressions and were speechless. However, the political commissar and others, who had already been in all the cases, did not show much surprise on their faces. As soon as the political commissar's words fell, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, who was also sitting on the rostrum, quickly stood up and began to perform his duties as chief of staff for the first time.
"Comrades, after the study of the Northeast Field Army Headquarters, it was decided that according to the current strength of the aviation regiment and the number of specific equipment in our hands. At present, the entire aviation regiment has under its jurisdiction one aviation division, one medium bomber regiment directly under its command, one reconnaissance aircraft squadron directly under its command, one antiaircraft artillery air defense regiment, and various ground crews totaling 20,000 people. ”
Among them, the First Air Division has two fighter regiments, one light bomber regiment, and one reconnaissance aircraft detachment directly under its jurisdiction, totaling 123 combat aircraft of various kinds. The medium bomber regiment consisted of 36 medium bombers, as well as three fighters and one reconnaissance aircraft. The squadron of reconnaissance aircraft directly under it includes 12 reconnaissance aircraft ...
"At present, our Northeast Field Army has a total of 185 combat aircraft of various types. In addition to the 175 combat aircraft used by the Aviation Corps. The remaining ten combat planes were handed over to Comrade Xiao Hua to form the first aviation school of the Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Xiao Hua served as the first president of the Northeast Aviation School to train all kinds of outstanding flight personnel for the Northeast Field Army and our party..."
At the same time, after the study and decision of the party committee of the Northeast Field Army, Comrade Li Xingguo was appointed commander of the First Aviation Division of the Aviation Corps. After that, it was reported to the Party Committee of the Northeast Field Army for a final decision. ”
"The last resolution, after discussion and decision by the field army headquarters, is to send 100 cadres and fighters with a certain level of education from each corps to our aviation school to learn the skills of aircraft piloting."
Shocked, absolutely shocked. At this moment, everyone in the meeting. Whether it was someone who knew it in advance or someone who didn't know, there was a look of shock on their faces. However, this shock only passed for a moment, and then it was enveloped by a thick burst of joy. "Okay, we finally have a plane, we have our own plane..."
"Yes, commander, I really didn't expect that we, our Northeast Field Army, will soon have our own air power from now on. When the time comes, you won't have to be afraid of the little devil's plane anymore..."
"Haha... Finally there are planes. In the future, look at the air force of the little devils, how dare they be arrogant in front of us. When the time comes, we will also pilot our planes and drop bombs on the heads of the little devils, so that they can also taste the taste of being bombed..."
For a while, the generals at all levels sitting under the rostrum immediately said what they wanted to say most in their hearts at this moment.
Among all the commanders and political commissars, Commander Wang Zhen, who had the most seniority, stood up directly from his seat and asked.
"Dare to ask the chief of staff, when will the aviation regiment be able to form combat effectiveness. At present, the little devil bombers are constantly launching air strikes against our base areas. We must do a good job of suppressing the arrogance of the air force units of the Kwantung Army. Otherwise, there will be no peace in our base areas. ”
As soon as Wang Zhen's words fell, Xiao Hua, who had already crossed paths with Wang Zhen, stood up directly from his position and spoke.
"Please rest assured, Commander Wang, I, Xiao Hua, am here to assure. It will definitely make the little devil's bombers dare not be arrogant above us in a week's time. “
At this moment, the reason why Commander Xiao Hua, who had just taken office, dared to say this sentence so definitely was very simple. This time he was ordered to come to the Northeast Field Army, and he didn't come alone. In order to support the air force units of the Northeast Field Army, they should form combat effectiveness at an early date. Commander Liu Yalou dispatched a regiment of outstanding pilots to follow Xiao Hua to the three eastern provinces.
At the same time, more than 100 special combat personnel in the special operations division who have experience in flying only need to undergo a certain amount of systematic training, plus small-scale actual combat training. Enough to form combat effectiveness.
As the commander, Xiao Hua believes that with dozens of pilots in his hands, plus more than 100 reserve pilots in the special operations division. It is enough to fight a few ambushes of the little devil bombers and rub the arrogance of the air force units of the Kwantung Army.
