"Lao Zhou, Chief of Staff, we are very short on time now. In general, the Japanese army left us no more than a month to rest and recuperate. And the three of us must seize the time of this month to complete the reorganization of all troops before the Japanese encirclement and suppression come, so as to cope with the future battles. I think in general, we are no longer a contingent of a few thousand people at the beginning, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and the Japanese army we are facing is no longer a few hundred or a few thousand, but tens of thousands of people encircled and suppressed at every turn, and the strength of the current military regions does not have the strength to face the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army on their own, and they must be integrated in order to continue to fight against the Japanese army.

"Commander, political commissar, the newly established Northeast Field Army, has the Party Central Committee decided on the specific establishment of each unit?" Hearing Meng Qingshan's words, Chief of Staff Liu Yalou slowly put away the surprised look on his face, and replaced it with a serious face. Looking at Meng Qingshan in front of him, Liu Yalou hurriedly asked.

"Chief of Staff, the Central Committee has decided to change our Anti-Japanese Federation to the Northeast Field Army, but due to the environment at the time, and our door does not have enough troops, but also in order to play the pig and eat the tiger and not let the Japanese army discover our strength, the current situation makes you have to make changes to us, the commander-in-chief's vision of the newly established Northeast Field Army, including a total of four field columns, in addition, also set up a forward command post, a special forces column, plus the rear left-behind corps. The total strength of our Northeast Field Army is more than 200,000 people, the first of which is the first. Second, third. The Fourth Field Column, together with the Special Forces Column, the Headquarters Guard Division, the Headquarters Cavalry Division, and the organs directly under the Headquarters, were reorganized from the original units. As for the forward command post, it was reorganized from the troops led by Commander Yang Jingyu....This was also decided after a long discussion with the commander, and we will report it to the Party Central Committee after we have decided. Hearing the question of Chief of Staff Liu Yalou, Political Commissar Zhou Baozhong said affirmatively.

"Commander-in-Chief. Political commissars, four field columns, according to the current establishment of our Anti-Japanese Federation. In addition to being organized into a column, there are still three army divisions and three main divisions, which are just enough to form three field columns. As for our special forces columns, they can be reorganized directly from our artillery divisions, armored brigades, cavalry brigades, and several other directly subordinate units ....but. Now there is still a difficult problem, that is, the issue of the direct commanders of the individual units, and we must make decisions in advance. Otherwise, the time will come for the reorganization of the troops. There will definitely be an impasse. After all, a good commander, to a certain extent. It can be used as the soul of a force...."Chief of Staff Liu Yalou replied.

"Well, Comrade Yalou is right. We must first resolve the issue of appointing commanders at all levels of the troops. In accordance with the requirements, our Northeast Field Army will be reorganized into four field columns. Each field column includes three main divisions, a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and other directly subordinate troops, with a total strength of about 30,000 people. The 1st Column was formed by the merger of the former 2nd and 5th Divisions, with Chai Shirong as commander and Cao Yafan as political commissar of the Sanjiang Military Region, including the 2nd, 6th, and 7th divisions, and the three main divisions. The Second Column was formed by the merger of the former Third Division and the Fifth Division, with Li Zhaolin, commander of the Nenjiang Military Region, and Feng Zhongyun, political commissar, including the third, fifth, and eighth main divisions. The Third Column is the merger of the original Third Division and the First Division of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, with Zhao Shangzhi, commander of the Binjiang Military Region, and Chen Hanzhang, political commissar, including the first, ninth, and tenth, three main divisions. The Fourth Column was formed by the expansion of a sub-division, with Wang Yachen, commander of the Xing'an Military Region, and Wang Weiyu, political commissar, including the 11th, 12th, and 1st Cavalry Divisions, three main divisions, and each main division including four infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, an engineer company, and other directly subordinate units totaling more than 10,000 people. Forward command post, Yang Jingyu, commander of the Changbai Mountain Military Region, and Wei Zhengmin, political commissar. As for the last units directly under the command of the field army, there was a guard division of five regiments, as well as other organs directly under it. Now the commanders of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th field columns have been confirmed, but the commanders and political commissars of the special forces columns have not yet been confirmed. Therefore, we must first solve the problem of this specific personnel appointment, as well as the problem of the left-behind corps. Meng Qingshan said thoughtfully.

"Now we only have these few people in our headquarters, if we want to reassign one person, the arms of the special forces column are too complicated, except for the commander, everyone else is a layman. Therefore, I suggest that the two of us personally take on the part-time role as the commander and political commissar of the special forces column. My idea for the following units is that in order to ensure the stability of the various units, the best way now is to expand the armored brigade and cavalry brigade into divisions, and the number of special brigades should also be increased. Political Commissar Zhou Baozhong thought about it and said affirmatively.

"Well, the commissar's idea is very good, and only then will the troops be able to develop steadily in the course of the next coup d'état ....I completely agree with the commissar and directly take the armored brigade. Expansion of the cavalry brigade. In addition, Chief of Staff, I now hand over to you an important task, and give your General Staff Headquarters two days to have all the commanders at and above the regimental level of the Changbai Mountain Military Region finalize the appointments of the four field columns and the left-behind corps, as well as the commanders at and above the regimental level of the Changbai Mountain Military Region. Then, it was handed over to me and the political commissar for review, and after it was passed. Finally, it will be reported to the Central Committee, and the Party Central Committee will be asked to conduct a final review and make a final decision. After that, we began to implement a specific reorganization plan for the troops under our control. Meng Qingshan said affirmatively.

"Yes, Commander, guarantee the completion of the mission. Two days later, I will give you and the political commissar a satisfactory list of personnel, please rest assured that the commander and the political commissar...."Chief of Staff Liu Yalou replied confidently.

In the next two days, the entire sky over the base area of the Northeast Field Army in North Manchuria was almost completely covered by the constant telegraph signals. Under the uninterrupted exchanges between the field army headquarters and the newly formed army subdivisions, the appointment of the commanders of the main divisions and the commanders of the main forces regiments was determined. In less than two days, a specific list of commanders at and above the Northeast Field Corps level appeared in the hands of Commander Meng Qingshan and Political Commissar Zhou Baozhong.

"Old Zhou, these commanders and fighters are very capable. It seems that they still know these commanders and fighters more thoroughly than we do..."Looking at the list in front of him, Meng Qingshan nodded with satisfaction. Then, he asked Liu Yalou, the chief of staff in front of him...

"Commander, commissar, rest assured. We are all familiar with these commanders and fighters, otherwise I wouldn't dare to just put them in front of you..."Chief of Staff Liu Yalou nodded and said.

"Okay, that's it. Political commissar, please go and forward this list to the Party Central Committee word for word, and ask the Party Central Committee to approve it... As soon as the telegram approved by the Central Military Commission came down, we began to work on the reorganization of the troops, and strive to complete the reorganization before the next encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army. After receiving an affirmative answer from Chief of Staff Liu Yalou, Meng Qingshan's face immediately showed a smile and ordered affirmatively...

Meng Qingshan did not know that his telegram sent to the central government would cause a big shock in the entire Guannai, and even caused the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, to be laid off ahead of schedule, which he never expected.
