This third army division to be set up in the newly opened Fengshan and Tonghe areas was already prepared by Yang Zhen just after he captured it. It was only because of the stubbornness of Commander Chen of the fifth division of the second army that he was not able to do so for a while.
Suitable candidate, so I have put it on hold for the time being.【.Com text】
Although this position is a bit too low compared to Zhao Shangzhi's previous position as Commander-in-Chief of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Yang Zhen believes that there is still a blank job there, which is very suitable for someone like him who is pioneering, courageous, and good at starting from scratch.
Cadres. Although this appointment has not been discussed with the commander-in-chief, Li Yanping, Yang Zhen thinks they will agree.
However, although he welcomed Zhao Shangzhi's wish to work in the Second Route Army, Yang Zhen felt that it would be better to clarify some things beforehand: "Old Zhao, although I am much younger than you and have far less work experience than you, I am a little bit
I think it’s better to give my advice in advance.”
"These words are not spoken by a superior to the person who is about to serve as his subordinate, but by a little brother giving advice to a big brother. These words can be understood as advice or as persuasion."
"I hope you can control your temper and temperament, and don't get too stalemate with your superiors and comrades. When you encounter problems, discuss with each other more and consider other people's opinions and ideas. Regarding work issues,
Problems, let alone taking them online at every turn."
"I heard that you got along well with the current Commander-in-Chief of the Third Route Army, Li. The reason why you are so unhappy now is just because you understood the so-called central instructions at the time. I don't agree with arbitrary deductions.
hat, but many times, some things often need to be considered from several aspects."
"And our Second Route Army now has many cadres from the former Third Route Army working here. Don't get too stiff because it involves past events. I hope you can handle the relationship well with them in future work and battles.
."
"As for the reason why the cadres of the Third Route Army are indifferent to you, I think there must be some reason. Is someone deliberately sowing discord? The files of the Sanjiang Police Department of the Puppet Manchuria that we seized in Jiamusi show that they deceived you to go to Jiangbei.
The Chen Shaobin you were detained in was arrested and rebelled in Tangyuan County in 1937. After interrogation, it has been proven that he acted as a Japanese spy after his arrest. The reason why you were detained in Jiangbei was because of him."
"In addition, according to the seized files, the political secretary Shang Liansheng who returned to China at the same time as you is also a Japanese spy. According to my subordinates' report, after your conversation last night, he approached the cadres of the Third Route Army several times and had a secret conversation for a long time.
.Although it is not clear what he reported, judging from the attitude of the Third Route Army towards you this morning, it is definitely not a good thing."
"I have entrusted the situation of Shang Liansheng to the commander-in-chief and asked him to forward it to the political commissar Feng Zhongyun of the Third Route Army. If they verify it, I think it will be dealt with seriously in accordance with military discipline. I think this information may change the situation.
Your environment will also have certain benefits. Of course, if you want to go back."
After listening to Yang Zhen's extremely sincere words, Zhao Shangzhi shook his head and said with some frustration: "I don't want to go back to the Third Route Army. Before coming, I told your commander-in-chief that
Working in your Second Route Army. As long as you can fight the Japanese, you can be a squad leader, or even an ordinary soldier."
"He agreed, but asked me to talk to you privately after I return to China. Since you said you wanted me to be the commander of a military division, I have no objection. For me, it doesn't matter what the position is, as long as there are Japs to attack."
As expected, the commander-in-chief did not express any objection to Yang Zhen's arrangement. Not only did he express his support, he even discussed with Yang Zhen that Zhao Shangzhi should concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the Jidong Military Region, so that he could replace him when Yang Zhen was performing external combat missions.
Command military district troops in operations.
Now the base area has expanded, from mountainous areas to a combination of mountainous areas and plains, and even now occupies several county towns. The size of the arsenal has also been expanded after the machinery and equipment from Jiangbei arrived. In addition to military issues, Yang Zhen
Apart from that, they basically don’t interfere in local affairs.
Except for occasionally expressing some suggestive opinions on local work, he has a hands-off style, leaving all the work of the entire region to the commander-in-chief. He rarely interferes, except of course when the commander-in-chief is absent and when it involves the needs of the main force.
Sometimes, I can lend a hand, but I can’t say that I don’t care about anything else, but it’s very rare.”
With both Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun focusing mainly on the work of the field troops, the commander-in-chief who lacked help had to manage local party and government affairs as well as the overall work of the military region, and his energy was really overwhelmed.
What's more, in newly liberated areas, the tasks of countering special forces, eliminating enemy and puppet forces, and carrying out local work are very heavy. The commander-in-chief really needs a capable man to assist.
Zhao Shangzhi has sufficient qualifications, abilities, and rich experience. Since he can no longer return to the Third Route Army and has personally expressed his desire to stay in the Second Route Army, he should be allowed to serve as the commander of the Third Division in addition to
In addition to being a military commander, he can also serve as deputy commander of a military region.
In addition to assisting the commander-in-chief in the construction of local base areas, with his outstanding ability, he can fully assume the task of commanding local troops in operations. This allows Yang Zhen to focus on the main force without delaying the local troops.
of construction.
However, when it came to the selection of the political commissar of the third division, the commander-in-chief firmly opposed Yang Zhen’s proposal that he serve as both commander and political commissar. He only agreed to let him serve as full-time commander. Moreover, he also firmly disagreed with letting him serve as the first secretary of the divisional party committee.
The command's attitude was obvious, that is, to let Zhao Shangzhi use his commanding talents to take charge of the military work of the local armed forces in the division or even the entire military region.
In the words of the commander-in-chief, his ability to command operations is unparalleled, and he has his own unique way of fighting. However, his understanding of the spirit of the central government is still a bit lacking, and sometimes he is too arbitrary, so he must send someone who can restrain him.
Live his political commissar.
As for the commander-in-chief's desire to reuse Zhao Shangzhi's own excellent abilities, but also to be somewhat defensive about it, Yang Zhen shook his head, neither making it clear nor expressing any objections.
According to the history that Yang Zhen knows, when Zhao Shangzhi was expelled from the party for the second time, it was the strong opposition of the commander-in-chief that made the North Manchuria Provincial Committee reduce his punishment. The permanent expulsion from the party was changed to expulsion from the party.
.When he was desperate, he was invited to serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army.
As for why the last two people fell out and why Zhao Shangzhi was expelled from the Second Route Army, the history of the Anti-Japanese War, which was originally a confusing matter, was not explained, and Yang Zhen was even more unknown. But after getting along with the commander-in-chief for such a long time,
Yang Zhen believes that this is definitely not the responsibility of the commander-in-chief alone.
Regarding the attitude of the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen had a vague feeling that the commander-in-chief at least agreed in some respects with the Third Route Army's criticism of Zhao Shangzhi's so-called opposition to the central line. What he opposed was some leaders of the Third Route Army.
The style of beating people to death completely with a stick.
It's just that this confusing account has not been discussed by several parties involved, and Yang Zhen cannot ask. He can only express his tacit approval of the commander-in-chief's opinion. Because Yang Zhen knows that it will take a long time to resolve some things. Fortunately, now
Having established a direct line with the central government, I do not have to face the blind instructions of some people and pay unnecessary prices.
However, despite the acquiescence, the choice of this political commissar has caused some headaches for Yang Zhen and others. According to Zhao Shangzhi's qualifications, the most suitable candidate is the commander-in-chief. But it is impossible for the commander-in-chief who already serves as the political commissar of the military region to serve concurrently again.
A separate military division political commissar.
The few people who followed Zhao Shangzhi back from the Soviet Union were all direct descendants of him. The commander-in-chief believed that by selecting among them to be the political commissar of the third division, not only could he not be able to restrain him, but he might be able to condone him in some respects. That way
On the contrary, it completely harmed him.
As for Gao Yumin, who is currently the deputy political commissar and director of the division's political department, when he heard that he was temporarily asked to serve as the political commissar of the third division, his head shook like a lang drum. He would rather voluntarily be demoted to the second regiment, which currently lacks a political commissar, as a political commissar, or even the director of the political department.
I don't want to go to the third zone to partner with him.
Others either lacked qualifications or lacked ability. With the current shortage of qualified political workers, Yang Zhen could only turn his mind to the central delegation. Just when Yang Zhen was hesitant about how to report to the central delegation
When Tuan spoke, he suddenly remembered someone.
Didn’t the central government decide to transfer Yi Jianping and his wife to work in the Anti-Japanese Alliance? Yi Jianping was not only a college student, but also highly educated. When he was working in the customs, he served as deputy political commissar in the Independent Regiment of the Fifth Division of the Southern Hebei Military Region, and also
He has been engaged in underground work in enemy-occupied areas for a long time, so he has rich experience.
By letting him serve as political commissar in the newly established Third Division, he can not only make full use of his work experience in the local military region to assist Zhao Shangzhi to open up the situation as soon as possible. He can also use his status as a person from the central government to meet the standards of the commander-in-chief.
Although he was suddenly promoted from the deputy political commissar of the Independent Regiment to the position of political commissar of the military division, it was considered a leapfrog promotion. But in Yang Zhen's view, Yi Jianping's transfer from the internal army to the anti-alliance work was a bit like those central cadres who were sent down in later generations.
.However, when central cadres in later generations were sent to local areas, the so-called temporary training was also done before they were sent down, and they were promoted to one level.
Regardless of the effect of transferring Yi Jianping to the third division to partner with Zhao Shangzhi, Yang Zhen's original plan to appoint Yi Jianping as the political commissar of the second regiment to replace Wang Xiaoming, who has been promoted to the political commissar of the military division, can only be canceled first.
Okay. As for the political commissar of the Second Regiment, let’s find a way to get it right.
When Yang Zhen announced his intended candidate, the commander-in-chief, who really had no suitable candidate, hesitated for a long time and finally nodded in agreement. However, although he agreed, he left a trail and only agreed with Yi Jianping.
He will be an agent for the time being. As for when he will become a full-time agent, it will depend on his performance.
It is obvious that if Yi Jianping had not been carrying the identity of a person from the central government, the commander-in-chief, who has always been stable and does not know much about people and work style, would not have agreed to his appointment as political commissar in the third district. However, the situation developed later.
, so that both the commander-in-chief and Yang Zhen were extremely grateful for this choice.
Facts have proved that although the combination of these two people is not perfect and they have disputes with each other, they have actually created a strong fighting group. Zhao Shangzhi's military talent and Yi Jianping's outstanding organization, propaganda, and agitation capabilities,
With the combination of rich local armed work experience, the three-district cadre regiment, composed entirely of troops temporarily transferred from various units, formed combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
The Third Division troops, mainly composed of the newly formed Three Division backbone regiments, performed extremely well in several battles in the early autumn and winter of 1939. Not only did they repeatedly shoulder heavy responsibilities, but they also achieved quite brilliant results. This
The third division, which was the latest to be formed among the three military divisions, became the first local unit to be upgraded to a main division after the expansion of the Jidong Military Region. It left the two big brothers who were formed before them far behind.
When Yang Zhen first drew two infantry platoons from each of the three regiments of the main force, plus three independent companies drawn from the three supplementary regiments to form the three-district backbone regiment, he was at least in the short term.
Within this period of time, there were no expectations for the combat effectiveness of this core group.
The jurisdictions of the three divisions are all newly opened areas, and the troops have just been formed. Although six infantry platoons were transferred from the main regiment when it was established, this core regiment is different from other divisional core regiments formed mainly with the anti-alliance forces.
He does not have any old anti-alliance troops. Almost all of them from top to bottom are newcomers from Qing Yishui.
A strange environment, a strange army, and a strange partner with whom he had almost no understanding before. Yang Zhen believed that it would take at least three to five months just to smooth out this relationship. When combat effectiveness is formed, he will still be a skeleton.
It will take at least until the end of the year for the troops to be fully reinforced.
And no one thought that this unit, which was almost brand-new from top to bottom, would develop so fast under the training of Zhao Shangzhi, who is good at guerrilla warfare, and its combat effectiveness could even be improved at a speed that can be described as a thousand miles a day. By the time of early autumn,
During the war, the performance of this unit can almost be described as refreshing.
With its performance in battle, almost no one believed that this was just a local force that had been established for less than three months and was mainly composed of recruits who had completed full training but had almost no combat experience.
Of course, these are all things for later. For Yang Zhen, what he needs most now is a helper who can stand alone. Under the situation that the main force cannot be stationed in the newly opened areas for a long time, and the newly opened areas are in urgent need of capable manpower to stabilize them,
Zhao Shangzhi, who undoubtedly had outstanding abilities but was unwilling to return to work in the Third Route Army, provided him with the best candidate.
It was precisely because he had no doubt about the ability of this famous anti-alliance general that he would later know. After Zhao Shangzhi expressed that he did not want to return to the Third Route Army, Yang Zhen immediately decided without any hesitation to let Zhao Shangzhi go to the new district to serve as the military division responsible for the military.
The position of commander. He knew that this famous anti-Japanese general in Manchuria and Northern Manchuria would never let him down.
