Three hundred and sixtieth IX strategic adjustment
Yang Zhen believes that now that the battle has ended and the entire North China battlefield situation has undergone fundamental changes, a re-adjustment should be made to the entire strategic area. His troops currently in northern Shanxi have now achieved the goals originally formulated
Under the premise of the purpose of launching this battle, it is also time to withdraw to the Northeast for rest and replenishment.
The central government also considered that the overall situation in the North China battlefield after the war was completely different from before the war. Therefore, it agreed to Yang Zhen's request and decided to use the current transportation comparison opportunity to transfer all the chief officials of the several major strategic areas involved.
Called back to Yan'an for a meeting.
At present, the deputy commander-in-chief's headquarters is located in the Beiyue District of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province, which is very close to northern Shanxi. The headquarters of the advancing army is in Zhangjiakou, which is connected to Jining and Datong by railways and has an airport.
Yan'an no longer has to pass through countless Japanese blockades like in the past. It was clearly a two-day trip, but it could only be stretched to half a month, or even a month.
After receiving the notice from the central government to return to Yan'an for a meeting, the deputy commander-in-chief and the acting commander of the Taihang Military Region, the commander of the Taiyue Military Region and the political commissar who came from southeastern Shanxi directly boarded a British-made light transport aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Datong.
It took more than an hour to arrive in Yan'an. On the way to the northeast, Yang Zhen landed directly in Zhangjiakou, picked up the two bosses of the Jinjin Army and flew directly to Yan'an.
This meeting was almost the shortest time required for the central government to convene regional meetings after the July 7th Incident. In all major strategic regions across the country, except for Shandong and the New Fourth Army departments, the most important strategic regions in North China, military and political officials
Almost everyone is here.
After a full five-day meeting, after several consultations, the ownership of the newly liberated areas such as northern Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Chanan was finally finalized. The newly liberated areas in North China are bounded by the Jining section of the Tongpu Railway and the Heping-Sui Railway.
.Tongpu Road and the west of Pingsui Road, including Suiyuan and northwest Shanxi, fall under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region. The area east of Pingsui Road and Tongpu Road, including Chahar, fall under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
At the same time, taking into account the general lack of coordinated operations among various military divisions or military regions during the Japanese military sweeps last year, when various strategic areas were counter-mopping up, under Yang Zhen's suggestion, the central government decided to re-divide several strategic areas
.Each major region will increase the establishment of secondary military regions to form a de facto first-level organization of columns to unify and coordinate the operations of the troops within their own jurisdiction.
The Jinsui Military Region was reorganized and two new secondary military regions were established. Based on the original Daqingshan guerrilla detachment, plus some of the troops who stayed in Suiyuan before the main force of the Jinsui Military Region returned, the Suimeng Military Region was formed. Based on the existing existing ones in northwest Shanxi
Based on the troops and various military divisions, the new Luliang Military Region was established.
Taking the Inner Great Wall as the boundary, the area including several counties in northwestern Shanxi to the north, and the southern and eastern parts of Suiyuan except Baotou are the jurisdiction of the Suimeng Military Region. However, in order to increase the strength of the Suimeng Military Region, a military region was transferred from northwest Shanxi.
Brigade, the two regiments of the original Jizhong were placed under the organizational structure of Suimeng Military Region.
Suizhong, where the Daqingshan Guerrilla Detachment was originally located, was changed to the first division, Suidong and Suinan were changed to the second division, and several counties in northern Shanxi established three divisions. The military region was directly under the jurisdiction of an infantry brigade, a cavalry regiment, a motor battalion, and a
Artillery regiment. Except for one division, which has two organic regiments and one shelf regiment, each military division has one organic regiment and two basic regiments.
The area south of the Great Wall in the original Jinsui Military Region will be unified into the Luliang Military Region. It will consist of two military divisions, plus a main brigade directly under it. The newly formed Jinsui Military Region command organization will be served by the original Jinsui Military Region command organization and will no longer be in progress.
Any changes. The military region is directly under the jurisdiction of two field brigades and two artillery regiments.
The specific organization of the two second-level military regions will be determined by the central government after consultation with Shanxi-Suiyuan. The local government of the new area will be composed of personnel transferred from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Border Region Government. A new Suimeng Working Committee will be established under the jurisdiction of the Suimeng Military Region. The original Shanxi-Mongolian Working Committee
The local government in the northwest region was replaced by the newly established Shanxi Northwest Commissioner's Office.
The area east of Tongpu Road, including the area east of the Beijing-Suiyuan Railway, is placed under the command of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is based on the existing jurisdiction, plus the entire newly liberated Chahar and Jidong, as well as northern Shanxi Tongpu
In several counties east of the railway, two secondary military regions, namely the Hebei-Jin Military Region and the Hebei-Cha Military Region, were established.
The original two divisions, the fourth division, the first division of the third division, and Beiyue District of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, plus the area west of Datong in northern Shanxi, were placed under the organizational structure of the Hebei-Jinjun Military Region and were responsible for commanding the former Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region north of Zhengtai Road in Shanxi.
.Pingxi, Pingbei, the first division, the new area of Chahar Province, plus a part of the former Jizhong Military Region form the Hebei-Chahar Military Region, which uniformly commands the troops in Pingxi, Pingbei and the entire Chahar Province.
In view of the fact that most of the Jidong Military Region has been lost in the brutal raids by the Japanese army last year, and the local armed forces have lost embers, the main force can only retain one organic regiment and one small armed regiment. There is no need to establish a military region for the time being.
The organizational structure of the Jidong Military Region was abolished and changed to the Jidong Military Division directly under the command of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
The Taihang Military Region was renamed the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, and the original Taiyue, Taihang, Jinan, and Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Regions were all included in the new Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. There were three military regions: Taiyue, Taihang, Jinan, and Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.
All were changed to secondary military regions under the new Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region.
The originally relatively vague command authority of several major military regions located in the areas bordering the New Fourth Army and major strategic areas in North China was completely clarified. The original Jinnan Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, which were actually independent activities, were officially merged into the newly established
The Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region has completely streamlined its command authority.
At the meeting, the Central Committee did not agree to the proposal to merge the Taiyue and Taihang Military Regions. It still believed that judging from the overall situation on the Shanxi battlefield, the Taiyue Military Region would be better off as an independent military region. Considering the vast distance between the Baijin Railway and the Tongpu Railway
The area is a combat area and is developing towards Zhongtiao Mountain.
The newly established Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region will unifiedly command the armed forces in southeastern Shanxi, southern Hebei, and the junction of Hebei and Henan. Although it is located in the southern part of the entire North China battlefield, it is actually located in the center of the national war situation. This region
It connects Shandong to the east, Jinsui to the west, and overlooks the Central Plains to the south. It can echo the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu and coordinate with Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei to the north. Its strategic position is extremely important.
Merging the original three major parts of this area together has greatly increased the strategic maneuvering areas and strategic depth of several military districts that were originally dispersed. It can also be effectively unified and centralized mobilization to a considerable extent. The original relatively
The manpower, material resources and financial resources were dispersed in several major regions. No matter which direction the Japanese army launched the raids, their response capabilities were stronger.
However, in order to facilitate command, the original Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region was located in the third division of western Shandong, and the organic part was placed under the organizational structure of the Shandong Military Region. The strategic Shuidong area on the border of Henan and Shandong was upgraded to the new third division of Hebei, Shandong and Yu. This meeting
The adjustment of the military structure will be resolved first, and the local government will make adjustments next.
The troops that were originally part of the main force of the advancing army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Taiyue Military Regions were all transferred back to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the new Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region. The original remaining troops were replaced and sent to the northeast for training. Now they are entering the southern Shanxi-Hebei Military Region.
The troops of the Luyu and Southern Hebei Military Regions, as well as the main force of the former Central Hebei Military Region, will not return to their original formations, but will be transferred to the nearby Northeast for training.
However, according to Yang Zhen's intention, each secondary military region cannot localize all its main forces. In addition to being assigned to regional armed forces, the military region must retain at least three regiments of organic troops. Each major strategic area must also retain at least two to
Three brigades are all formed units, as well as most of the artillery.
In particular, the main troops returning to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu military regions must not be disbanded and transferred to local armed forces. These troops have undergone rigorous training and have passed cruel actual combat tests. After returning,
It should be used as a backbone unit and a fist unit.
Strive to use a point-to-point approach to train local armed forces who cannot go to the Northeast through these troops. This will narrow the gap between the main force and local armed forces, lay a solid foundation for troop expansion, and prepare for a comprehensive counterattack in the future. At the same time, it is recommended that each secondary military region
, mobilize a group of experienced military and political cadres to form a group of shelf regiments.
Taking advantage of the current favorable conditions for the overall contraction of the Japanese army in North China, under the cover of the armed workers' corps and local armed forces, we strive to expand a group of troops by going to enemy-occupied areas. Yang Zhen's two proposals, which are more like requests than suggestions, received
We received the support of everyone, especially the two veterans who were marching forward, who firmly expressed their support.
The Central Committee basically accepted all these suggestions. However, considering that the Jinsui Military Region currently has insufficient troops to support such a large jurisdiction, the Central Committee hopes that the Anti-Japanese Alliance can leave two divisions of the troops originally deployed in northern Shanxi to cooperate with the Jinsui Military Region.
The troops are responsible for the defense of northern Shanxi. The vacancies of these two divisions due to previous battles will be supplemented by the Central Committee, Shanxi-Suiyuan, and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.
Yang Zhen nodded and agreed to this request without even thinking about it. He also said that if the central government deems it necessary, these two divisions and their equipment can be divided into two military regions. However, the chairman did not even think about his proposal.
It was rejected. The chairman promised that the two divisions would be returned to organic form after one year.
After studying the general plan, Yang Zhen proposed to transfer Rehe to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, because geographically Rehe is closer to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and connected to Chahar and the mountains and rivers of northern Hebei. Incorporating Rehe into
The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can enhance the operational depth and room for maneuver of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and increase the scope of activities of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
At the same time, the Rehe area is located on the flank of the entire Northeastern battlefield, and is also the link between the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. By handing over Rehe to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has also reduced its own pressure to a certain extent and can concentrate on dealing with it.
The Kwantung Army on the Northeast battlefield.
However, because Rehe is located at the junction of the two strategic areas of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Northeast China, its position is extremely important. Therefore, the chairman repeatedly insisted that Rehe should be placed under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Military Region and commanded by the Northeast Military Region and the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The chairman's insistence made Yang Zhen
The original plan could only be withdrawn, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance was still responsible for the frontline defense of Rehe.
The central government also issued orders to several major strategic areas in North China, except Shandong, asking these major strategic areas to mobilize about 100,000 new soldiers for the Anti-Japanese Alliance within four to six months to partially assist the Anti-Japanese Alliance in replenishing their troops.
Inadequate predicament, at least assist the Anti-Japanese Alliance to replenish some of the battle losses incurred in this battle.
As the main force in this battle and responsible for most of the main combat tasks on the battlefield, the Anti-Japanese Alliance suffered the largest casualties among the major regions participating in the battle. After this battle, the entire army did not have a complete organic division.
Several divisions are now useless. The division with the lightest casualties has exceeded 40% of its organic strength.
After the battle, the chairman and the boss received the casualty report from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and they couldn't help but gasped. The entire Anti-Japanese Alliance had almost half of its casualties, and a considerable number of tanks, aircraft and other heavy equipment were lost. And they paid so much.
Most of the casualties were front-line combatants. According to this number of casualties, not to mention none of the major strategic areas of the entire army could withstand it. Even any theater in Chongqing would have been completely destroyed.
