This time, a large-scale civil war broke out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The situation in the Tainan Military Region was the most unfavorable. It was affected by multiple factors. However, as the leaders of the military region, political commissar Zhao Gang and Communist Party member He Yicai bear unshirkable responsibility.
Based on this, under the auspices of Political Commissar Deng, the Taihang Branch held an enlarged meeting after the war. Zhao Gang and He Yicai successively spoke at the meeting, and then the branch issued a number of orders.
First, in order to strengthen the leadership of the Tainan Military Region, the 129th Division headquarters, which also serves as the Tainan Military Region, moved to Shexian County. Former military region leaders Zhao Gang and He Yicai went to Yanzhou to study. Xing Zhiguo remained as the chief of staff of the Tainan Military Region and continued to serve as frontline commander.
command.
Second, on the basis of the Tainan First Division and the Second Division, a Tainan Third Division was added, with the Baijin Railway as the boundary, covering Tunliu, Qinxian and the southeast of Qinyuan, with a main force regiment and a basic regiment under its jurisdiction.
Quickly appointed as a member of the Communist Party of China.
Third, the Tainan base area carried out large-scale production and large-scale military training campaigns, and began to upgrade the local armed forces to the main force and enrich the main force combatants.
After the meeting, Zhao Gang began to hand over the work and pack his bags. He did not complain about the branch's transfer of him from the leadership position. Instead, he felt relieved and willingly went to Yanzhou to study.
It is necessary for the Tainan Military Region to make personnel changes. First, it really needs to strengthen its leadership. After World War II, there were widespread complaints among the commanders and soldiers of the Tainan Military Region, and someone needed to take responsibility.
Zhao Gang's position made it difficult to arrange for him once he left his leadership position, so Political Commissar Deng once talked to Zhao Gang. In situations like this, it was common practice to go to Yanzhou to study.
There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that the Taihang Branch held an enlarged meeting in which many party, government and military leading cadres from the Taihang base area participated, so the news quickly reached Zhou Weihan's ears.
The source of the news was Zhang Fangyin, Zhao Gang's father-in-law. He was on the way to support a group of technical backbones from the Huangyadong Arsenal to support the Hebei, Shandong and Henan base areas. Zhang Fangyin asked someone to bring him a letter.
At noon that day, after Zhou Weihan read the letter, he unusually did not stay at the headquarters to have a big meal together. Instead, he returned home and did not show up until the evening.
In the evening, after Wen Qiang came back from the nursery, she entered the door and pulled the light cord, only to find Zhou Weihan lying on the bed. She joked: "The sun is coming from the west today, why is it back so early?"
Zhou Weihan didn't say anything and leaned sideways against the wall. When Wen Qiang saw this, she thought Zhou Weihan was feeling unwell and put her little hand on his forehead: "You don't have a fever either? What's wrong?"
Although the couple spent less time together and separated more, they still shared the same bed. Wen Qiang knew from Zhou Weihan's face that he was pretending to be something, so she forcefully placed Zhou Weihan's head on his thighs, rubbing his temples with both hands: "What's the matter?
Can I stump you? Tell me!"
Zhou Weihan forced a smile on his face. He wanted to get up but was pushed down by his wife, so he could only continue lying down. His voice was somewhat hoarse: "Old Zhao was arranged by the organization to go to Yanzhou to study. I felt uncomfortable and panicked!
"
"This is a good thing. Why are you feeling so uncomfortable?" Wen Qiang said.
"What a good thing this is..." Zhou Weihan explained the cause and effect: "To put it bluntly, Lao Zhao was still implicated by me. At the beginning, I asked for food and people, otherwise I wouldn't be like this.
Look, you think I feel better?"
"Besides, Lao Zhao's trip to Yanzhou this time is different from the time we went to Yanzhou. The difference here is huge. To put it harshly, it's a crime to learn and reform. If you perform well, you can continue to be reused, but you are a carrot.
How can it be so easy?"
"You also know the current situation. Not only the Hebei, Shandong and Yu military regions are preparing for war, but other military regions are also doing the same. The next step is to make big moves and develop. This is a rare opportunity for many people!"
"A quick step may not necessarily mean a quick step, but a slow step will definitely mean a slow step. It will only take a year and a half for Lao Zhao to go to Yanzhou. When he comes back, the day lilies will be cold. Do you think I can't be in a hurry?"
After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, Wen Qiang also clarified his thoughts: "What you said makes sense. Lao Zhao is very principled. He must be responsible for whatever is arranged by the organization in the end, and there will be no complaints at all!"
"Didn't you complain to me some time ago that the work the political commissar is responsible for is too detailed and you can't do it? Why don't you let Lao Zhao join your team? Isn't it just right?" Wen Qiang said.
Wen Qiang's suggestion was exactly what Zhou Weihan wanted: "I think, but how can it be that easy? Let's not say that it is certain that Lao Zhao will go to Yanzhou to study, but there is no precedent for transferring a division-level cadre across a major military region.
, it might be counterproductive if I tell my superiors!"
Zhou Weihan has been thinking about this matter all afternoon. Just as he was concerned, it has been the same since ancient times. It is for organizational arrangements for superiors to come forward to transfer people. It is naturally very easy. But if the people below apply for transfer by name,
, it’s a bit like asking for conditions and pulling the mountaintop.
What's more, Zhao Gang was unwilling to come. As Wen Qiang said, Zhao Gang was organized and principled. He didn't even take the initiative to tell Zhou Weihan about it because he was afraid that Zhou Weihan would cause trouble.
"If you are concerned, you will be in chaos. You are not suitable to come forward. Someone is suitable. The military region is short of manpower, especially the column lacks political cadres to take charge of the work. The reason is legitimate and reasonable. Naturally, the superiors must fully consider this situation!" Wen Qiang said.
The truth is actually very simple. When Zhou Weihan thought about it carefully, it was really the case, but he was worried and confused: "A good wife, my wife, you are really a good wife!"
"Zhao Gang still wants to run away? Did he run away?"
Early the next morning, Zhou Weihan came to the military region headquarters excitedly and told the deputy chief of staff about the matter. He did not hide it and explained it bluntly.
The deputy chief of staff pointed at Zhou Weihan and said: "I haven't heard of it. You are quite well informed. Although you are being careful, you are still honest!"
"I know Comrade Zhao Gang. He is a good comrade. He has provided great help to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area and the formation of the column. It would be appropriate for him to serve as the political commissar of the column!"
"Chief of Staff, is that the decision? This must be done as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!" Zhou Weihan said.
The deputy chief of staff patted Zhou Weihan on the shoulder: "I have to find a capable helper for you, right? Keep your heart in mind, I still have some face, but it is best for the headquarters to coordinate this matter!"
At this time, Zhou Weihan once again felt that it was good to have a reasonable, authoritative and qualified superior. After the deputy chief of staff came to the Hebei-Luyu base area to preside over work, why did he continue to serve as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army even though he was no longer responsible for the specific work of the headquarters?
What is the position of deputy chief of staff?
To a certain extent, he can continue to coordinate between large military regions on behalf of the headquarters, and he is legitimate and fluent in his words. This is an advantage that other large military regions do not have.
