Chapter 636: The New Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region
"After the Eighth Route Army Headquarters decided and reported it to the Central Military Commission, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region and the Western Shandong Military Region will be merged to form a new Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, which will be directly under the headquarters!" the boss said.
"What?" Zhou Weihan exclaimed.
"Don't get excited. This matter is still under preparation. The personnel establishment of the two military regions is not small. It was established as soon as an order was issued!" the deputy chief of staff waved his hand and said.
As soon as this statement came out, it can be said that it stirred up a thousand waves.
The Jiluyu Military Region and the Luxi Military Region are both second-level military regions. One has four military divisions: Zhangbei, Zhinan, Northern Henan, and Southwest Shandong. The other has three military divisions: Taixi, Yunxi, and northwest Shandong.
Military division, plus the Huxi base area.
From a geographical point of view, it spans the Zhangwei River and occupies the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. The base area covers nearly 30 counties.
Previously, such a large base area was unique among the Eighth Route Army. The new Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is at the level of a large military region in terms of level, which is the same as the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
As the deputy chief of staff said, the personnel establishment of the two military regions is not small. The main force of the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region does not count the support troops of each military region. There are currently nine infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, artillery regiments, and teams directly under the military region.
.
The personnel structure of the troops in the Luxi Military Region is more regular. The main forces include the Third Teaching Brigade, the Fourth Teaching Brigade, the New Third Brigade, nine of the nine infantry regiments, plus the teams directly under the military region.
The two military regions are quite different in terms of personnel and territory. The key is that the two military regions were developed from the 129th Division and the 115th Division respectively. The interests involved are the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and cannot be explained in one word.
Decide.
Taking the Luxi Military Region as an example, Yang Yong, the commander of the 3rd Brigade, was successively the deputy commander of the 686th Regiment of the 115th Division, the regiment leader and political commissar, and the commander of the independent brigade. Later, he taught the commander of the 3rd Brigade and also served as the commander of the Luxi Military Region.
**member.
Brigadier Han of the New Third Brigade has successively been the deputy commander of the 688th Regiment, the deputy commander of the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division, and the acting brigade commander. Now he is also a member of the Yunxi (Liangshan) Military Division under the Luxi Military Region.
The two military regions are currently about the same strength on paper, but the generals in the Western Shandong Military Region are more senior, while the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region has come from behind and has stronger weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness. Once the Shandong Southwest Military Region expands, the strength of the entire Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region will exceed
Luxi Military Region.
Everyone present seemed worried after hearing the news. It was not that Zhou Weihan was unhappy, but this matter not only involved his own interests, but also affected the interests of all commanders and soldiers.
Zhou Weihan stepped on Tan Lin who was standing next to him under the table. Tan Lin understood immediately and said, "Yang Shu*, does that mean that local governments are also going to be merged?"
Yang Shu* from the Northern Bureau heard this and said: "That's not necessary. The local government is not as good as the army, but whether it is the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Administrative Office, the Luxi Administrative Office or the Huxi Special Region, they all need to be responsible to the new Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region!"
"But in this way, the area of the base area has expanded, but our communication equipment is backward after all. If the military region offices are concentrated in one place, it will make the base area invisible and dispersed, making it difficult to radiate to the counties in the base area!" Tan Linpo
Said worriedly.
"Comrade Tan Lin, we have considered this issue. I have said before that this move is to strengthen the connection between the two military regions. According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission, the chief of staff of the new Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region will serve as the political commissar and political commissar.
, Comrade Zhou Weihan and Comrade Yang Yong concurrently serve as deputy *** members respectively, and they still have jurisdiction over several subordinate military divisions!"
"In terms of geographical location, Puyang is located in the center of the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. It is best for the military region to be located here, but it is also possible to locate it in Heze. The original two secondary military regions are for better command.
Troops, still stay where they are!" the boss said one after another.
"So, the chief of staff will be permanently stationed in Heze?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"What? You don't welcome me?" the deputy chief of staff laughed.
"I welcome you with both hands. I hope that there is a shortage of personnel at all levels in the Hebei-Luyu Military Region. It would be great if the chief of staff could come with some of the personnel from the headquarters!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Hey, I feel bad that the chief of staff is gone, but you still want to lure a group of people away. This is really a smart calculation!" The boss nodded Zhou Weihan with his finger.
After the boss finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Only Li Yunlong remained silent. He originally thought that the sky was high and the emperor was far away in Southwest Shandong. With the expansion of troops in the Southwest Shandong Military Division, he also had great power.
But who would have thought that with the orders from his superiors being issued, Li Yunlong suddenly had two emperors at his head, among whom the deputy chief of staff's military region agency was stationed in Heze.
Although the Deputy Chief of General Staff is very tolerant towards his subordinates, it does not mean that Li Yunlong can continue to do extraordinary things from now on.
Li Yunlong's gloomy expression was visible to everyone, but the unified decision of his superiors could not be changed due to personal wishes.
"This is just to inform you in advance. The headquarters will issue a formal order soon. Your department currently has a lot of troops, but it is far from enough to maintain the defense line of the base area. It will continue to expand in the future, so the headquarters is considering giving a few formal orders.
Number!"
"You must also step up the expansion and form new troops with the combat effectiveness and cadres supported by various military regions. The Japanese army will not see our Eighth Route Army fully fledged and will always send troops to the base areas, so you must be mentally prepared!" the boss said again.
This time, Yanzhou and the Eighth Route Army headquarters established a new Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Military Region, and even sent the deputy chief of staff to Heze to take charge in person. This was to concentrate the power of the two secondary military regions to thwart future Japanese attacks on the base area.
"Yes, our department's expansion plan is under planning. Once it is completed, it will be reported to the headquarters immediately!" Zhou Weihan stood up and said.
That night, after the boss and others rested, Li Yunlong thought about it and couldn't sleep, so he immediately found Zhou Weihan and complained.
After Zhou Weihan heard this, he said bluntly: "What's the matter? When the boss and the chief of staff were here just now, if you had a problem, you could raise it. The boss could solve it for you right then. Why didn't you say it? Now you're here to pour the trouble on me.
Already?"
"You think I'm easy to talk to?"
"We will obey the orders from the headquarters, but life will not be easy from now on. Besides, given the boss's temper, if I tell him, he might be fired!" Li Yunlong cried bitterly.
According to Li Yunlong's current level, it is impossible for the headquarters cooking class to take the blame. After all, if a brigade-level cadre goes to the cooking class, it will be a big joke once word gets out, but he may be arranged to study at the Anti-Japanese University.
"Old Li, you are usually very quick-thinking, but you get stuck at critical moments. Southwest Shandong is so big, why do you want to set up the general divisional office in Heze? Put it under the nose of the chief of staff?" Zhou Weihan pointed out.
.
"Oh, I know what to do!" Li Yunlong immediately woke up.
