Chapter 714: Divisional Commander (Second Update!) )

"How dare he ......," said the deputy commander-in-chief, who read the telegram, with shock.

Then he asked the deputy chief of the general staff: "I remember that Yan'an mentioned to us some time ago the idea of establishing a base in Taiyue?" I believe that the time has come to establish a base area, and the Taiyue Military Region will be directly established under the dual command of the headquarters and Division Commander Liu! ”

"This suggestion has already been studied by HQ!" The deputy chief of staff affirmed.

"What we mean is that the Taiyue Military Region was established on the basis of the 386 Brigade, and the leading organs of the 386 Brigade were directly merged into the leading organs of the Taiyue Military Region, with Brigade Commander Chen serving as the commander of the Military Region. In addition to the main force, each military sub-region has set up a number of local units. The main forces, the local troops, cooperate with each other to develop and expand the Taiyue Military Region step by step, and completely control the northwest of Shanxi! ”

"That's a good idea, I agree!" The deputy commander-in-chief affirmed without thinking about it.

But soon he thought of a question, and then hesitated and asked: "If I remember correctly, the 386 Brigade has not yet formed an anti-Japanese base area, established a military region, and developed the experience of the base area!" ”

"There was experience in developing revolutionary base areas in the past, but now we have no experience in organizing anti-Japanese base areas!" The Deputy Chief of the General Staff affirmed.

"After going to the battlefield, the commander of the 386 Brigade has always been our mobile unit in the northwest of Shanxi, northern Henan, and Taihang, and now it can be considered stable in Taiyue!"

The deputy commander-in-chief immediately made a decision: "The current anti-Japanese base areas are fundamentally different from the past, and they must not be compared, otherwise there will be big problems." Since I have no experience, my idea is to directly find an experienced person to guide them, so that they don't take a detour! ”

The deputy chief of the general staff frowned and asked: "Boss, do you mean to send people to serve in the Taiyue Military Region, if you talk about building an anti-Japanese base area and developing a military region, you must count Lao Nie's Jinchaji base area as the most experienced, do you want to draw people from them!" ”

"No, Brigade Commander Chen already has a ready-made person under him!" The deputy commander-in-chief shook his head and replied.

The deputy chief of staff reacted quickly: "I understand, boss, you mean Wang Ping?" ”

The deputy commander-in-chief did not hesitate to praise: "It is Wang Ping, he is very experienced in the formation of anti-Japanese base areas and the development of base areas, and he also has many new ideas. If he is allowed to build a base, the speed and effect will be very good. What's more, he is also very good at fighting, and he is completely an all-round talent! ”

The deputy chief of staff hesitated and reminded: "However, there is no shortage of people in the 386 Brigade Headquarters, boss, do you want him to go to the Brigade Headquarters as the deputy chief of staff, but this is too aggrieved Wang Ping." He is now the head of the main regiment, and although the deputy chief of staff is also at the regimental level, he has been transferred from the position of the regiment commander, and a discerning person can know at a glance that it is a demotion! ”

"No, he is still in front of the head of the new regiment!" The deputy commander-in-chief refused.

"The commander of the new regiment and deputy chief of staff of the military district...... In this case, Wang Ping should agree! The deputy chief of staff hesitated and replied.

The deputy commander-in-chief still had a dissatisfied expression, and then directly decided: "Isn't there only three military divisions in the newly established Taiyue Military Region?" In addition, there is a Fourth Army Division, and Wang Ping is also the commander of the Military Division, responsible for all military and political affairs of the Military Division! ”

At the station of the new 1st Regiment in Tianjiazhuang, the communications platoon has not yet contacted Xiao Yunshan's 2nd Battalion.

The entire second battalion was as if it had sunk into the sea and been wiped out by devils, and there was no news.

Just when Wang Ping was frowning and staring at the map, hesitating whether to send someone to Linfenbei to reconnoitre. Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed over with excitement on his face.

"Commander...... No, commander, the brigade headquarters is in an emergency! ”

"The headquarters has officially decided to establish the Taiyue Military Region on the basis of our 386 Brigade, with the brigade commander as the commander, and the four military divisions under the military region, and you are appointed as the commander of the Fourth Army Division. Commanders of all the main regiments of our brigade, you are the only regimental commander who is also the commander of a military division! ”

"I heard that this is a direct order from the headquarters. Regiment commander, it must be that the headquarters of our results in destroying the two Japanese brigades also knows about it, and then let you concurrently serve as the commander of the military division! ”

If Wang Ping is not mistaken, when the Taiyue Military Region was established, there were three military subdivisions, and as long as the commanders and political commissars of several military subdivisions lived, they would at least be major generals, or even lieutenant generals, after the liberation of the whole country.

Therefore, although the rank is still the regiment commander, with the qualification of commander, his future development will definitely be very beneficial.

Wang Ping was directly stunned by this sudden surprise, and it took a long time to react.

Then I began to think about why I let myself serve as the commander of the Fourth Army Division with so many commanders in the 386 Brigade, almost everyone is more qualified than myself.

As soon as his brows furrowed, the communications platoon commander rushed in.

"The regiment commander, the chief of staff, the brigade headquarters telegraph, it was sent by the brigade commander himself!"

Wang Ping took the telegram directly, and as soon as there was an expression of sudden realization on his face, Zhong Chenggong chased after me.

"Your Majesty, what did the brigade commander say in the telegram?"

Wang Ping did not hide it: "The reason why the brigade headquarters appointed me as the commander of the Fourth Army Division!" ”

The higher authorities want to turn our Fourth Army sub-district into a model base area of the Taiyue Military Region, so that other military sub-divisions can come and learn from it, and then set up a base area. After all, when I was in the Jinchaji base area, I had experience in this area! ”

Zhong Chenggong immediately asked rhetorically, "That?" Commander, what are you going to do! ”

Wang Ping frowned and analyzed: "The purpose of our establishment of the base area is to gain the support of the broad masses of the people and the hearts of the people. At the same time, a certain amount of grain can be collected as taxes through the base area to ensure that the troops will not go hungry in the next year! ”

However, there are still many ordinary people living under the iron hooves of the Japanese puppet army. What's more, most of the land in the countryside was in the hands of the landlord gentry. Without land, even if the hearts of the common people are towards us, we will not be able to receive public rations for military rations! ”

"So, now we have three things to do!"

"The first one, continue to use military means to strike at the remnants of the Japanese puppet army within the base area!"

"Second, we will launch a campaign to reduce rents and interest rates, so that ordinary people who do not have land, but rent land from landlords, will not go hungry after the autumn harvest and will have food to eat in the next year. In addition, taxes were levied on those landlords and gentry who had a large amount of grain in their hands, so as to ensure that the main force would have military rations for the next year and would not go hungry! ”

"Third, after the autumn harvest, lead everyone to open up wasteland, increase fertile land, and then distribute the land to the people!"

"With a three-pronged approach, we will definitely be able to win the hearts and minds of the people in the shortest possible time, gain the support of the people, and then establish a base area!"

Zhong Chenggong's eyes lit up and shouted: "I understand, commander, I will arrange it according to your idea now!" ”

"Wait a minute, don't rush yet!" Wang Ping stopped Zhong Chenggong, who wanted to leave.

He continued to analyze: "Also, in addition to allowing the people to have heavy land, food to eat, and not go hungry, we must also find ways to develop the economy of the base area so that everyone's life is getting better and better." In this way, in order to protect their own property, everyone will enthusiastically join our Eighth Route Army to protect the base area. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of the fact that there was no battle in front of me to build a farm and activate the economy of the base area! ”

Wang Ping experienced these experiences when he was in the Jinchaji base area, and he remembered them clearly, not to mention that he personally participated in them.

Therefore, Wang Ping knew very well what he needed to do to form military subdivisions and establish base areas, and how to do it.
