Tongliao has a total area of 59,535 square kilometers, about 418 kilometers long from north to south, and about 370 kilometers wide from east to west. Kailu County, Kulun Banner, Naiman Banner, and Zalut Banner were recovered at the same time, and the Japanese army was ordered to withdraw from Tongliao and retreat to Shuangliao City in the east.
Su Xiqing led 20,000 troops and met up with the cavalry brigade that arrived first outside Tongliao City. Ma Xiandeng jumped off his horse and gave Su Xiqing a bear hug. The two of them moved excitedly on the ground, as if they were dancing a pas de deux.
generally.
The soldiers cheered and the horses neighed excitedly. Ma Xiandeng let go of Su Xiqing: "My troops are responsible for the defense and security. You can enter the city!"
Su Xiqing shook his head: "The troops live outside the city, I want to wait for that boy Hou Dashun!"
Ma Xiandeng smacked his lips: "He is the commander, and his current aura makes me feel a little embarrassed when I see him!"
"Oh? Is this kid very capable?" Su Xiqing chuckled and said, "Only with official authority can we control you tigers!"
Feng Yuguo, who developed in Taiping Village, Tongliao Town, already had a division of capable troops. When he heard that the volunteers were attacking Tongliao, he hurriedly came with his troops. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army retreated timidly, leaving an empty city.
Su Xiqing knew this gentleman who looked the same on the outside, laughed loudly and said: "Brother Feng, Tongliao is your territory, you, the chief officer, hurry up and take over!"
"Give it to me?" Feng Yuguo was shocked. He rubbed his ears and looked at Su Xiqing in disbelief: "You don't want this city?"
Su Xiqing nodded: "The young master will be here soon to form a unified leadership government agency in the area we occupy."
Su Xiqing shook his head: "If you call like this, the Japanese and Chinese troops will come to encircle and suppress us. We want to develop and cannot stimulate the National Government. The young master sent a telegram and the name he gave is Rehe Autonomous Province."
Feng Yuguo nodded: "Yes, the main thing is to fight against Japan. Yiping, go and send a telegram to your superiors, saying that we need a large number of cadres."
"Okay, I will lead the troops into the city and send the report in the city!" Wei Yiping agreed and led his troops towards the city.
Hu Zhigang and Hou Dashun rushed over quickly. There was a sea of people outside Tongliao City. Troops set up tents in an orderly manner, and the camps were built all the way to Toyota Town.
"Report! The young master called and ordered us to reorganize in Tongliao." The telecommunications section chief ran over, waving the telegram in his hand and shouting excitedly. The venue suddenly became quiet, and they knew that the exciting moment was coming!
"Gather!" Hou Dashun glanced at the message and loudly ordered all the troops.
The cavalry squadron, artillery squadron, infantry squadron, and guard battalion stood majestically, waiting for the commander to announce a new mission. Hou Dashun got on the car and slowly inspected each troop.
"Comrades, the Rehe Autonomous Province has been established!"
"Wow--" Everyone clapped vigorously, with beautiful smiles on their faces.
"Our troops need to be uniformly organized. Now, I announce the appointment of officers at all levels! Ma Qingde!"
"Here!" Ma Qingde, who was the first to be called out, took a mighty step forward. He answered seriously and excitedly, waiting for the commander to announce his new position.
"The rapid mobile force has developed into three tank regiments, one armored regiment and one logistics vehicle regiment. You are required to come up with a plan within three days, and the troops will be reorganized!"
"yes!"
"Wang Haikuo!"
"Here we come!" Wang Haikuo's dark face glowed red, and he took a step forward and stood seriously.
"The artillery will be expanded by two divisions to form an army, and another anti-aircraft artillery division will be built. You will be responsible for all defense zones in the Jehol Autonomous Province, and your position is the artillery commander!"
"Yes!" Wang Haikuo could not have imagined that his artillery would develop so rapidly. But he also felt that the responsibility was heavy and the burden on his shoulders was not light!
"Su Xiqing!"
"Here!" Su Xiqing took a step forward in confusion and asked in surprise: "My guard battalion has also been expanded? A regiment? It can't be a division, right?"
"Hahahaha!" The soldiers all laughed, and they were all amused by Su Xiqing's humorous look.
"Your position as commander of the security battalion has been dismissed!" Hou Dashun glared at him fiercely and immediately announced the decision from above.
"Ah!" Su Xiqing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that what he was waiting for was to be dismissed from his post.
"You will serve as the commander of the First Army of the Army, with three infantry divisions and one directly affiliated regiment." Hou Dashun smiled and announced the new appointment before Su Xiqing could react.
"This, this, this -" Su Xiqing simply couldn't believe that the young master would give him such a high position all of a sudden.
"Ma Xianden!"
"arrive!"
"Your position is commander of the Second Army. I will give it to you in the evening meeting with three divisions, a cavalry brigade, a directly affiliated regiment, and the defense area!"
"yes!"
"Hu Zhigang!"
"Arrived!" The eldest young master of the Hu family was surprised. Should he be asked to lead the troops in the war?
"You will serve as the first government chairman of the Rehe Provincial Autonomous Government and concurrently serve as the Minister of Logistics!"
"yes!"
"Feng Yuguo!"
"arrive!"
"You are the police officer of the Rehe Provincial Autonomous Government and the Self-Defense Forces. Your position is the Commander of the Self-Defense Forces and the Director of the Police Department!"
"yes!"
"Wei Yiping!"
"Here!" Wei Yiping was the first female cadre to be appointed. She thought excitedly: "What can I do?"
"Your position is Minister of Women and President of the Chamber of Commerce. Hu Zhigang, Feng Yuguo and you form a government agency to coordinate the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fisheries in the autonomous region."
"yes!"
"Comrades! The Jehol Autonomous Province has an air force, tanks, artillery and an army, with a total strength of two armies and ten divisions! We want to develop our own industry, agriculture, commerce, animal husbandry and forestry here. We have hired three experts
When I arrive in the future, I announce that the Jehol Autonomous Province is now officially established!"
Hou Dashun's voice was hoarse, but he still roared as hard as he could, and announced the contents of Hu Zhiyong's telegram sonorously. Everyone clapped excitedly, and they were all happy for the establishment of the new government.
"Report!"
Li Chunrun stood up and shouted with an unhappy expression.
"speak!"
“What do we volunteers do?”
Hou Dashun walked up to him: "The mission of the Volunteer Army remains unchanged, you have to go behind enemy lines!"
"Don't we belong to the troops of Rehe Autonomous Province?" Li Chunrun was surprised. They looked down on the insurrectionary army?
Hou Dashun said seriously: "You are the commander of the Volunteer Army. The troops fighting behind enemy lines do not belong to the autonomous region. Commander Li, we will provide you with ammunition, weapons, food and activity funds. You can come and go freely!"
Li Chunrun shouted excitedly: "If we join the army of the autonomous province, will you agree?"
"No!" Hou Dashun told him calmly: "We still have troops behind the enemy lines, and we must deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army on the outside. The autonomous province is the rear area of all rebels. Regardless of party affiliation, we will support you as long as you resist Japan!"
Li Chunrun smiled: "I read you right! Don't worry, we won't stay here for long. We will set off after training!"
Hou Dashun nodded: "We will make arrangements for all the families of the volunteers. Is your mission to cause trouble for the Japanese army?"
"What we want is the heads of the Japanese army, revenge for the dead volunteers, and revenge for the fellow villagers in the Northeast!" Li Chunrun sprayed flame-like light and swore loudly to the soldiers.
"Kill the Japanese troops and avenge blood!" All the soldiers waved their arms and shouted, waves of shouts filling the sky.
The meeting turned into an oath-taking meeting, with heroes from all walks of life expressing their determination to resist Japan. Hou Dashun told everyone: "The Rehe Autonomous Province must develop, be self-sufficient, and be stable! Our footing is to put a knife in the neck of the Japanese army."
!Only by protecting this place can we continuously purchase foreign aid supplies from outside. The brothers of the Volunteer Army arrived behind enemy lines and told the heroes who were fighting the Japanese that we provide ammunition and food, and we are their strong backing!"
In the evening, after the celebration banquet, Hou Dashun held the first meeting of all military and political officials of the Rehe Autonomous Province. The Second Army was stationed at the headquarters of Jinshan Town, and the First Army established its headquarters in Tongliao.
The counties, three districts, and eight banners formally announced the defensive tasks of each military garrison.
After the military supervisor left, Hu Zhigang, Feng Yuguo, Wei Yiping and Hou Dashun discussed. The temporary appointment of a large number of cadres gave everyone a headache. Feng Yuguo scratched his head: "Oh my god, how many people are needed to establish this police force and the self-defense army?"
?Twelve counties and banners all have to send troops to defend!"
Hu Zhigang said in embarrassment: "What about me? All departments and agencies have to send people there, and there is a lack of cadres!"
Hou Dashun chuckled: "First of all, establish household registration files. All young people between the ages of 18 and 25 are reserve soldiers. After I send you instructors to train, the personnel of the two armies will be easy to handle. Regarding government agencies,
It goes without saying that we should focus on local enlightened people and your party’s political cadres and cross the river by feeling the stones. For the time being, the city’s garrison will be handled by troops. After your troops are formed, we will hand everything over to the new government!"
"You don't live in the city?" Feng Yuguo was surprised. This was the first time he had seen such an army.
"Yes! Our mission is border defense, a critical place!" Hou Dashun continued: "The young master gave you 100 million yuan, and the follow-up equipment and technicians will arrive soon. Coal mines, power plants, steel plants, copper plants, canneries,
Clothing factories, shoe factories, and food factories are industrial themes, and other product development ideas require you to submit plans to him."
Wei Yiping said regretfully: "It's a pity that our party can develop here, but it can't raise its banner!"
Hou Dashun became serious: "Before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the young master will not agree to your declaration that this is the occupied area of the Communist Party! Commander Feng Yuguo, you must not only develop in the autonomous province, but also send capable teams to spread to the surrounding areas!"
"Okay, eat one bite at a time. When I deploy the entire defense area, a military work team will be established behind enemy lines immediately!" Feng Yuguo stood up and said with a serious and solemn expression: "Chiang Kai-shek is still suppressing the Communists. The Communists have the support of you and the general public.
