'Fengtian Great Victory', hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters of the Northeast Field Army, under the personal command of Commander Liu Hua, were absolutely weak. Not only did it achieve great results in annihilating hundreds of thousands of the enemy's elite Kwantung Army, but more importantly, the Northeast Field Army successfully captured Fengtiancheng, the capital of Liaoning Province. Most of the entire Liaoning Province was also trampled under the feet in front of the field army like a tiger and a wolf and a lion, and was controlled by the entire Northeast Field Army.
This shocking news just came out of the central station of the Taiyuan Party Central Committee, and it immediately caused a huge sensation. Almost the entire city of Taiyuan was excited and excited because of this exciting news. Almost everyone had a smile on their face because of this great victory.
And just when everyone had not yet reacted from the shock of the great victory, several leaders of the Party Central Committee were still immersed in the great joy of the great victory in Fengtian. Another piece of good news, followed by everyone's ears.
Thanks to the efforts of the special operations division directly under the Northeast Field Army, the Mukden Arsenal, the largest ordnance production base in China, was successfully occupied by the field army. All the machinery and equipment of the entire arsenal, including tens of thousands of skilled workers, were taken over intact by the field army.
All along, the entire Eighth Route Army has been constrained by others and has not been fully developed because it has no perfect military industry and no source of weapons and ammunition. At this moment, the millions of troops of the Eighth Route Army led by him will no longer be controlled by others because they do not have a perfect military industry. Because, now, there is already the largest and most well-equipped military production base in China.
The good news of Fengtian's great victory made several senior leaders of the central government, while shocked, feel for the first time that it is not impossible to rely on their own strength to counterattack the entire three northeastern provinces. The successful occupation of the Mukden Arsenal made everyone more confident in the future of the entire Eighth Route Army....
It can be said that the two exciting pieces of good news have made several leaders feel very satisfied and excited. However, Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, is destined to be a lucky general, and at the same time, he is not destined to be a general who can calm down.
In less than a week, another exciting piece of good news was transmitted to the headquarters of the Party Central Committee for the first time through the radio waves.
Looking at the content of the entire telegram, Ye Jianying, the chief of the general staff who had just received the telegram, was once again stunned by the content of the telegram. Ignoring the surprised eyes of the commanders and fighters at all levels around him, he quickly rushed out of the telegraph room with the telegram in his hand, and then rushed all the way to the war room.
"Shanhaiguan victory....""Shanhaiguan victory... Chairman, Shanhaiguan is a great victory! β
Before rushing into the war room, Ye Jianying's excited voice was transmitted into the huge war room. The chairman, the commander-in-chief, who was studying the military situation in the war room, raised their heads almost at the same time, cast their puzzled eyes to the door of the war room, and waited for the arrival of Chief of Staff Ye Jianying.
"The report: Comrade Liu Hua, chairman, commander-in-chief, and commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army outside the Guanwai, has just sent a telegram: The two main columns of the field army, the guard division directly under the field army, and the special forces column, totaling 50,000 troops, under the command of Comrade Gao Yuan, commander of the second column, successfully annihilated the two main divisions of the Japanese army in the area of Xiaopanshan two hours ago after a week. At present, our 50,000-strong army is taking advantage of the victory to pursue, following behind the rout of the Japanese army, striving to break through the Shanhai Pass in one fell swoop, occupy the entire Shanhai Pass, and open up the communication channel between the outside and inside the pass. Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two people, Chief of Staff Ye Jianying hurriedly reported.
It seems that our Comrade Liu Hua is not going to let a few old guys take a good rest. In less than a week, there was such a big commotion. With a strength of just 50,000 men, it took less than a week to completely annihilate two divisions of the Japanese army again. After a brief moment of shock, the commander-in-chief said with a smile on his face.
"Boss, I have long been accustomed to Comrade Liu Hua's style. However, if I can hear such good news every day, I am shocked every day, and I am willing. As he spoke, the chairman's gaze once again fell on the huge battle map of the three eastern provinces in front of him, and he pointed to the map in front of him and spoke.
"Boss, you see, after the Northeast Field Army occupied Shanhaiguan. The sphere of influence of our Northeast Field Army has changed from a Mengshan county town at the beginning to the present, with Fengtiancheng, the capital of Liaoning Province, as the center, starting from Mengshan in the north, Shanhaiguan in the south, Anshan in the east, and Tieling in the west. There are more than 50 county seats, large and small, with a radius of several thousand kilometers, covering almost the entire Liaoning Province as a huge base area. Under the quick outline of the pencil in the chairman's hand, the area just occupied by the Northeast Field Army was very clearly displayed in front of everyone. Looking at the map in front of me, the geographical scope has exceeded the huge base area of the entire Shanxi Province. I thought that under the decades-long operation of the Japanese army, Liaoning Province exceeded the economic capacity of Shanxi Province several times. The commander-in-chief's eyes, almost froze.
After a few minutes of desertion in the entire war room, it was the chairman who first broke the quiet atmosphere in the war room.
"Boss. As long as our Northeast Field Army can fully occupy these areas. I am sure that this region will certainly make an unexpected contribution to the development of our Party and the entire Eighth Route Army. According to the current development momentum of the Northeast Field Army, I believe that in the near future, the Northeast Field Army will certainly be able to hold up half of the sky of our party. At the same time, the time for counterattacking the entire three northeastern provinces is no longer far away from us...."
"Chairman, what do you mean?" the boss asked with a puzzled look on his face as he frowned at the chairman's words.
"Very simply, such a large base in our hands will certainly play a tremendous role in promoting the development of our people's army. In particular, after decades of development by the Japanese army, it has become the largest Fengtian Arsenal in the whole of China, and it will certainly play a tremendous role in promoting the development of our army's weaponry and modernization. β
Seeing the commander-in-chief in front of him, he stared at the military map in front of him and slowly fell into deep thought. The Chairman continued.
"Such an important area is surrounded by nearly a million Japanese Kwantung Army. And can the Japanese army watch such an area with very huge potential really in our hands? With the Northeast Field Army alone, in the face of such a large base area, can it really be more than capable of attacking and defending and defending the safety of the entire base area? β
In the face of the chairman's rhetorical questions, the commander-in-chief, who stood in front of the map with a pensive face, immediately understood what the chairman meant. Then, he spoke.
"Chairman, what do you mean is to expand the entire Northeast Field Army and increase the strength of the Northeast Field Army..."
After receiving the chairman's affirmation, the commander-in-chief's brow furrowed again. Looking at the map in front of him, after a short period of contemplation, he spoke.
"From a military point of view, there is no problem with the expansion of the organization, and I, as the commander-in-chief, firmly agree with it. After all, with the strength of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Field Army, it is almost impossible to defend the entire Liaoning Province while also confronting the Kwantung Army with an army of nearly one million. However, Comrade Liu Hua is now the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, and at the same level as the other three division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, he is already at the same level as the other three division commanders of the Eighth Route Army. If the Northeast Field Army is expanded again, won't it already catch up with our Mr. Peng in terms of level..."
In response to the commander-in-chief's rhetorical question, the chairman nodded noncommittally. However, I think of the impact of the expansion of the Northeast Field Army on the entire Northeast situation, and even on the entire Anti-Japanese War situation, and on the development of the entire Army.
The look of hesitation on the chairman's face, which had just been revealed by the commander-in-chief's rhetorical question, immediately disappeared and was replaced by a resolute face. Facing the commander-in-chief who was frowning beside him, he didn't hesitate without any hesitation, and said very decisively.
"Boss, when we proposed to co-opt Comrade Liu Hua as an alternate member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee at the last Politburo meeting, we had already been promoted once. At that time, many veteran comrades in the party raised opposing opinions, and some even wrote to me directly, saying that Comrade Liu Hua was not qualified enough, and demanded that Comrade Liu Hua be disqualified as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and replaced by those veteran comrades with seniority. β
As he spoke, the chairman showed a look of mockery on his face, and said helplessly to the commander-in-chief in front of him: "Speaking of which, many comrades in our party believe in Marxism. However, in the bottom of my heart, I can still believe in the same set, no matter what I do, I must pay attention to my personal qualifications. Is this still the principle of our work? What's the difference between this root..."
When it comes to this matter, the more he talks about it, the more serious the chairman's tone becomes. After a few words, the mocking look on his face had turned into a trace of anger. However, after a short period of anger, the chairman adjusted his emotions at the first time, and continued to speak to the commander-in-chief beside him. "At the beginning, everyone said that Comrade Liu Hua was not qualified enough to serve as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and as commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army. But what about the end result? In less than a year, the Northeast Field Army, under the command of Comrade Liu Hua, wiped out more than 100,000 elite Kwantung Army units before and after. More importantly, Liaoning Province, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army, was liberated from the hands of small devils. also snatched the largest arsenal in the whole of China from the hands of the little devils. For the first time, let our party have its own munitions industry and be able to be self-sufficient in all kinds of weapons and equipment ...."
"To be able to achieve such a huge record, except for Comrade Liu Hua, as long as anyone else can tell me that he also has the ability to command hundreds of thousands of Northeast Field Army, and in the gap of nearly one million Kwantung Army, he can achieve such a huge record. I assured him that I would nominate him as an alternate member of the Politburo at the Politburo meeting. β
Seeing the Commander-in-Chief in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face, the chairman continued: "Since the last Politburo meeting nominated him as an alternate member of the Politburo, we were all able to make an exceptional promotion, why can't we make an exceptional promotion to her again." At the same time, through this promotion, we have also created a good atmosphere within the party: Our promotion in China does not depend on seniority, but on ability. As long as you have enough ability, you will be able to gain the trust of your superiors and be able to carry out promotions..."
"Chairman, I see what you mean. But I am afraid that at the Politburo meeting, some comrades will come out to oppose it, and if that happens, the chairman's prestige in the party willβ" The commander-in-chief asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.
As soon as the commander-in-chief's words fell, the two of them fell into deep thought again. Because the chairman knew very well who certain comrades in the commander-in-chief's mouth were. There is no doubt that this person is Wang Ming, who just returned from Moscow a few years ago and is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee.
Although, at this moment, Wang Ming has been down from the position of party president for a long time. However, after all, he was the head of the party, and he still had a very huge influence in the party. What's more important is that since Wang Ming returned to China, he has made it difficult for him to become the chairman of the board of directors at this moment. The chairman's repeated proposals at the Politburo meeting were not adopted.
If the proposal to expand the Northeast Field Army cannot be adopted, it will not only deal a huge blow to the chairman's prestige. More importantly, it can also enhance Wang Ming's prestige in the party. In the face of such a good opportunity, Wang Ming, who has always had great ambitions and still has illusions about the general position, is impossible not to grasp.
Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief shook his head very helplessly, looked at the chairman in front of him, who was still contemplative, and said with a wry smile: "Chairman, I think this matter is still slowing down. When the next congress is successfully convened and your position in the party is more secure, it is not too late to make proposals. After all, it won't be long before the next congress is to be held. β
"No, time is not waiting for me. The Northeast Field Army had just captured Mukden City, and its rule over the entire Mukden had not yet been secured. I am sure that the Kwantung Army will not leave them much time. If we hadn't been able to prepare earlier, would it really have to be hundreds of thousands of Northeast Field Army troops to face a fierce counterattack by hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops? The Liaoning Province, which the troops had worked so hard to occupy, was handed over to the little devils again. The chairman shook his head decisively and said.
Immediately, he said resolutely to the commander-in-chief in front of him with a shocked face.
"Boss, don't forget, our party has always pursued the minority obeying the majority. Among the entire Politburo members, except for a few people stood behind Wang Ming. The rest of you, Enlai, **, Wang Jiaxiang, Chen Yun, Ren Bishi, and Zhang Wentian, will definitely stand on our side. Speaking of which, we are absolutely sure of winning. β
"Chairman, the two of us started from Jinggangshan, and we are both old partners who have never separated. Now that you have made a decision, I, Zhu De, support you absolutely and unconditionally. Seeing the chairman in front of him, who already had a resolute look on his face, the commander-in-chief nodded affirmatively and said.
"Well, I believe that in this world, there is no problem that we Vermilion cannot solve."
"According to the proposal last time, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, a temporary Politburo will be held in the Central Conference Room to reminisce. There are still more than a dozen hours left before the meeting begins. I suggest that the two of us act separately and find Enlai, Wang Jiaxiang, Ren Bishi and others respectively to discuss this bill. Then, I will write a bill and discuss it at tomorrow's Politburo meeting..."With the support of his old partner, the chairman no longer had any hesitation. Facing the commander-in-chief beside him, he said affirmatively. ,
"I agree. I'll go look for Comrade Wang Jiaxiang first, and then go find Comrade **..."As he spoke, the commander-in-chief, who was in a hurry, had already walked out of the war room quickly.
Early the next morning, because the extraordinary meeting of the Politburo was about to be held, the whole station was extremely quiet. Even the number of patrols and sentries responsible for security work is several times more than usual. All of this, without exception, shows the seriousness and importance of this meeting.
Compared with the seriousness of the central station, the Politburo meeting was also full of gunpowder. Because before the meeting, rumors about the expansion of the Northeast Field Army had already been spread. At the same time, the fact that the chairman, the commander-in-chief, who supported the motion, kept in contact with the Politburo members for more than 10 hours before the meeting was held.
The meeting has just begun, and most of the Politburo members headed by the chairman. and some Politburo members headed by Wang Ming began to look at each other angrily. The whole meeting, before it officially began, was full of gunpowder. It can be seen that this Politburo meeting will be a-for-tat and very intense meeting.
"Comrades, I will not say the specific content of this extraordinary meeting of the Politburo, and everyone knows that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Field Army, under the command of Comrade Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief, have won three battles and three victories, and have achieved very great results. Next, I would like to ask our commander-in-chief to personally report to you the tremendous results achieved by the Northeast Field Army in three battles and three victories. With all the participants present, the chairman first stood up from his seat and spoke to the dozen or so Politburo members in front of him.
Amid a burst of applause, the commander-in-chief took out a statistical table of the results of the battle and stood up from his seat.
