Chapter 395 Personnel Transfers

Later, according to the needs of the actual combat situation, Tang Qiuli set up three artillery brigades, one armored brigade, and one air defense brigade for the unit.

As a matter of fact, after the reorganization, the officers at all levels of the Northeast Army, their positions, and military ranks have all been reduced by a large margin, and let's take the original army commander as an example, the military rank has been reduced from the original lieutenant general to major general, and the number of soldiers under his jurisdiction is much smaller than the original, and the original Northeast Army, that army commander does not lead 30,000 or 40,000 troops.

For this situation, Tang Qiuli was originally going to do some appeasement and explanation work, but unexpectedly, these senior generals who were demoted not only did not complain, but happily went to take office, in their words, everything is false, Tang Dashuai took us to fight devils, this is true, what are those vain heads and brains afraid of things.

If you want to be promoted, can you? Take out the real chapter on the battlefield, see whose brigade has killed more xiǎo devils, the first to kill back to his hometown in the Northeast, the big guys listen to him, respect him as the boss and never regret it, the big man is here, be a witness.

Looking at these former army commanders and division commanders, there were no complaints, none of them complained that they had been demoted, and they were all gearing up, ready to fight with the xiǎo devils, and let out the evil anger that had been held in their hearts for six years.

Tang Qiuli felt sincerely gratified, once these Northeast men found the direction of their lives, they would devote themselves to the battlefield of killing the enemy with a hundred times more enthusiasm, the black land of Northeast China, lost humiliating in their own hands, and regained the self-esteem and honor of soldiers on the battlefield in North China.

Some of the other officers of the Northeast Army were transferred to the various divisions of the Independent Division, and some were transferred to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Garrison Command and the Dingbian Mobile Corps Headquarters.

Zhao Yùhe, the former chief of staff of the Independent Division, was promoted to chief of staff of the Northeast Tǐng Headquarters, and his original position was held by Yu Guanghan, deputy director of the Staff Office of the Independent Division, and the commander, Major General Liu Tiehan, was rushing from North China to receive the troops.

can partner with the big marshal for many years, become the old guy who lives and dies, and the old guy who entrusts his life, and the ability to say, especially the Northeast fellows, their own troops, pulled their farts to the pass, and when the Red Army went to war, people have been fighting with the big marshal and the Kwantung Army for many years, such a person can see us in his eyes, which is our blessing.

Tang Qiuli arranged Liu Tiehan to be the commander, and he also considered many aspects, the generals at all levels of the former Northeast Army were all veterans for many years, ordinary people, they really couldn't control them, and they couldn't personally command this army.

With Liu Tiehan's qualifications and combat record, he is enough to be qualified for this position, although there are still many of his former superiors.

Before Liu Tiehan's arrival, Tang Qiuli transferred a large number of officers and veterans with actual combat experience from the Dingbian garrison area, went deep into the brigades, and conducted strict training for the troops in accordance with the training methods of independent divisions.

After the change of uniforms, the combat effectiveness of the brigades has been greatly improved, the soldiers hold their breath, dreaming of going back to their hometown in the northeast, from the body of Tang Dashuai, see the hope that they have been looking forward to for many years, the soldiers' enthusiasm for training, unprecedentedly high, the former officers with whips to rush to train, can no longer be seen.

The soldiers also saw that the gap between the soldiers and the soldiers who came to serve as instructors in the independent division were all soldiers, and they all had a sense of honor and self-esteem, and the soldiers consciously increased the amount of training, and the enthusiasm for training was unprecedentedly high, and the officers at all levels also experienced unprecedented changes.

The logistical supply of the troops also refers to the standards of the independent division, and the required funds are uniformly allocated by the logistics department of the independent division, and the appearance of the troops is changing day by day; in the final analysis, the current Northeast Army is already Tang Qiuli's own troops, and what they lack is nothing more than actual combat experience with the Japanese army.

After Liu Tiehan took office, Tang Qiuli transferred the troops to him and reported to the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government to promote Liu Tiehan to the rank of lieutenant general.

Then, he began to work on the reorganization of the 17th Route Army, which was different from the Northeast Army and had a special situation.

In fact, this is a local army in Shaanxi, the soldiers are all from Shaanxi, there is no experience of fighting outside the province, the soldiers have a very strong sense of the countryside, and the local people, also have an inextricable relationship, the total strength is only more than 60,000 people, and the good and the bad are uneven, the old and the young are uneven.

Tang Qiuli referred to the practice of the Northeast Army, first of all, the Jianjian troops, the bad elements were cleared out of the troops, the old ones were restored on the spot, and those who were willing to go to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone were arranged by the troops, and those who were unwilling to go and wanted to go home were given 300 yuan per person for settling in Dayang, which was enough for them to be a rich man in their hometown.

The company was cleared and restored, a total of more than 6,000 people, and the remaining soldiers were formed into the Shaanxi Provincial Garrison Command, with Yuan Jinghao, the former commander of the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Independent Division, as the commander, and his brigade commander position was taken over by Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Chengye, and Han Guangqi, the former chief of staff of the 17th Route Army, remained as the chief of staff of the Shaanxi Provincial Garrison Command, under the jurisdiction of three Shaanxi local garrison brigades, each with 6,200 soldiers.

The commander of the First Brigade of the Shaanxi Local Garrison is Wang Yiwu, the former commander of the 49th Brigade of the 17th Route Army, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Shaanxi Local Garrison, Zhao Shoushan, the former commander of the 51st Brigade of the 17th Route Army, and the commander of the Third Brigade of the Shaanxi Local Garrison, Geng Zhijie, the former commander of the Supplementary Brigade of the 17th Route Army.

In addition, Tang Qiuli gave the Shaanxi local garrison an important task, responsible for training reserve personnel, and providing sufficient personnel for the front-line field troops, which was also Tang Qiuli's original intention in establishing the Shaanxi Garrison Command.

The Yellow River Defense Command was formed, and the commander was Sun Zhenbang, the former commander of the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Independent Division, and his position was taken over by Chu Xianzeng, the deputy brigade commander, and the chief of staff of the River Defense Command was Wang Jun, the former commander of the Shaanxi First Garrison Brigade of the 17th Route Army.

The commander of the First Brigade of the River Defense Brigade is Li Zhenfeng, the commander of the First Independent Brigade of the former Independent Division, and the commander of the Second Brigade of the River Defense Brigade is Zhang Hongyuan, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Shaanxi Garrison of the 17th Route Army.

The commander of the Third Brigade of Hephong is Meng Qingpeng, the former commander of the Third Regiment of the Second Independent Brigade of the Independent Division, and the commander of the Fourth Brigade of Hephong is Liu Ziqian, the former commander of the Third Special Service Regiment of the Xi'an Pacification Office, with a total of more than 36,000 troops.

The main task of this department is to defend the area from Hukou south of Hukou in Shaanxi to Tongguan Port in the Yellow River and from Tongguan Port to Sanmén Gorge in Henan Province.

The river defense brigade is stationed at various key points, and all areas where it is possible to cross the river must be garrisoned for defense, and at each garrison point, Chen Feng, director of the communications department of the independent division, is instructed to quickly communicate with the wired and wireless contact networks of various departments and ensure that they are unimpeded at all times.

Tang Qiuli had no choice but to do this, and in the future, Shanxi would become the main battlefield in North China, and there were too many places where the river could be crossed along the Yellow River for thousands of miles, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Japanese army would not send troops to forcibly cross the Yellow River and attack Henan, Hubei, and other Central Plains regions from Shaanxi.

The thinking of the Japanese cannot be judged according to the thinking of normal people, they are all a group of crazy people, and crazy people play cards, not according to common sense.

As for the Yellow River defense line to the west of Hukou, there is no need for him to cào care, it is the territory of the ** Red Army, they finally have a place to settle, how can the Japanese be allowed to take a knife, and it is strange not to fight with the Japanese? Make sure to defend more tightly than you think.

After the 17th Route Army was organized, it carried out targeted training in accordance with the method of training the troops of the Northeast Tǐng Command Headquarters, and immediately the troops of the Shaanxi Provincial Garrison Command went to the garrison site, and the units of the Yellow River Defense Command immediately stationed at the garrison site to build permanent defensive fortifications.

To this end, Tang Qiuli from the warehouse of the logistics department of Huangya dòng, equipped the river defense troops, equipped with a large number of artillery, shè Cheng can cover the area of ten kilometers on the other side of the Yellow River, in the garrison site, build permanent fire points and gun emplacements, by the independent division artillery brigade Zheng Yong, send special personnel to guide, and complete the terrain and landform mapping of the area on the east bank of the Yellow River, as well as the coordinates and Zhuyuan.

The transportation headquarters of the independent division was formed, with Zhou Yishan, former deputy director of the logistics department of the independent division and director of the baggage division, as the commander, and Song Wenhai, deputy director of the division, and Bai Shibin, chief of staff of the logistics department of the former border special economic zone garrison command, as the commander.

The command organ of the transport command is formed by the logistics department of the Huangya Dòng base area and the Chōu transfer of officers at all levels, the strength of the two regiments is transferred by the Huangya Dòng Garrison Brigade and Chōu, the strength of three regiments is transferred by the Dingbian Mobile Corps and Chōu, and the strength of a reinforced regiment of the Air Defense Brigade of the Independent Division, totaling 13,000 people, forming the strength under the jurisdiction of the transport command.

From Dingbian through Suide and Wubao in Shaanxi, cross the Yellow River in the east, arrive at the Jundu and Liulin ferries in Shanxi, cross Luliang Mountain, and arrive at the Huangya Dòng base in Taihang Mountain.

Feng Jiwu, former chief of staff of the Independent Division, was promoted to deputy commander of the Independent Division, replacing Liu Tiehan, former deputy commander of the Independent Division, and Li Honggang, former commander of the First Independent Brigade of the Independent Division, was promoted to chief of staff of the Independent Division, taking over the work of Feng Jiwu, the former chief of staff.

A series of personnel transfers and arrangements made Tang Qiuli dizzy and complaining, all saying that it was a good thing for the family to have a big business, but it was enough to be tired of the family, Tang Qiuli was a little overwhelmed now, Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang, these two guys, it would take a few days to arrive, there was no way, Tang Qiuli had to grit his teeth and harden his teeth.

His biggest wish now is to hug Mei Ting, find a place where no one disturbs, and sleep well for three days and three nights.
