Especially when Yang Zhen made this request, the Soviet Union had just transferred more than 200 German aircraft, more than 300 tanks, and more than 700 artillery pieces with a caliber of 100 mm or more to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. For Yang Zhen, he was stationed in the north at this time.
The crew of the fleet returned, but the Soviets found it difficult to accept it.
However, after Yang Zhen's repeated efforts, he also considered that the Soviet army on the European battlefield has already reached the Oder River, which is only 60 kilometers away from Berlin. The front of the battlefield has been shortened considerably compared with when fighting in the Soviet Union.
distance. Some naval personnel incorporated into the army can be transferred back to the navy to take over defense.
At the same time, the Soviet Navy Command also believes that the navy is a complex technical branch. The Chinese will return to the country sooner or later, and it is impossible to serve the Soviet Navy all the time. This is not only a matter of face for the great Soviet Red Navy, but also the handing over of the coastal defense line to
The Chinese were also unfavorable to the great Soviet coastal defense security.
The most critical thing is that once the personnel that the navy has painstakingly cultivated are lost in ground operations, even if it comes to taking over the fleet again after the war, Yang Zhen guarantees that no personnel from the other three fleets will be transferred back until the end of the European battlefield.
Next, the Soviet Union finally agreed to Yang Zhen's request.
When Li Mingfeng and a group of middle-level cadres who led a team to the Soviet Union to study the navy were escorted back to the Northeast at Yang Zhen's personal request, Yang Zhen closed the door and talked secretly with Li Mingfeng for three days.
After these three days of talks, Li Mingfeng immediately led the team back to the Soviet Union without any delay.
What did Yang Zhen and Li Mingfeng talk about behind closed doors in these three days? It wasn't until the earth-shattering incident happened a few months later that others knew what the two people talked about in these three days. As for the moment when the conversation just ended
, what others saw was only a group of cadres transferred back from the Soviet Union, and thousands of sailors who were dressed in Soviet navy uniforms when they returned to China, and then changed into Anti-Union uniforms after returning to China.
At the same time, we can see that Lushun and Huludao ports have been undergoing emergency repairs since the spring of 1945. The heavy artillery regiment left by the Japanese army in Lushun has also undergone readjustments in deployment. The two ports of Lushun and Huludao, as well as the
Yingkou Port is undergoing expansion, and the surrounding shore artillery and air defense have also been greatly strengthened.
In the Guannei battlefield, after discovering the large-scale entry of the Anti-Japanese Alliance into the Pass in early 1945, the Japanese army immediately felt the pressure doubled on the Guannei battlefield and also made adjustments immediately. They gave up the entire remaining control area along the Jinpu Railway north of the Huaihe River.
, and Jinan has basically become an isolated city. They all shrunk to the south of the Huaihe River defense line, trying to carry out a desperate struggle with the Huaihe River as a natural barrier.
The Japanese base camp decided to abolish the organization of the North China Front Army and reorganized the entire Japanese army in Huainan into a Sixth Front Army, with Yoshio Yuetsu as the commander of the Front Army. It had jurisdiction over the First Army, the Twelfth Army, a total of five divisions, and eleven independent
Mixed brigade, and seven independent garrison teams.
However, with all connections with the mainland cut off except for the already extremely unreliable sea route, the Japanese troops in the Guannai battlefield were like old ladies. The New Year celebrations were worse than the previous year. Even the distribution of winter clothes in 1944
There have been repeated delays, and the replenishment of weapons and ammunition has also declined repeatedly due to the severe obstruction of sea transportation.
The Japanese army carried out strategic contraction at the fastest speed, but the overall situation within the pass has become quite strange with the strategic contraction of the Japanese army. Chongqing's First War Zone, Second World War Zone, Fifth War Zone and the newly established Eleventh War Zone, in the two
There are frequent actions on the military control line.
However, the two armored divisions of the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops quickly moved southward and immediately retreated after entering the junction of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. However, although they retreated, there was no major movement in the end. But at the junction of the control areas of both sides,
Gun misfires happen every day.
Chongqing also gradually transferred the All-American Arms Corps that had completed the Yunnan-Burma War to central Henan and northeastern Anhui. In central Henan alone, the strength of four American Arms Corps was increased. At the same time, with the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Road,
, the speed of handover of US aid equipment has been greatly accelerated. The new chief of staff of the US theater in China is much more realistic than his predecessor.
From January to April of 1945 alone, Chongqing organized 11 new fully-armed corps. In January of 1945, the United States handed over to Chongqing 600 75-gun cannons and 240 artillery pieces at once.
105mm howitzers. And more than 50,000 tons of light weapons ammunition stored in the Yunnan-Burma Theater were all transferred to Chongqing at one time.
They also coordinated with the British to transport all the Bren light machine guns that had not yet been handed over to Chongqing by the end of 1944. They also handed over all the more than 200 tons of German 79 bullets captured by the British in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Together with the German-made 79-caliber ammunition that was previously captured in the Italian battlefield and transferred to Chongqing, it ensured that Chongqing would have enough 79-caliber ammunition reserves for two years.
At the same time, the Americans began to provide Chongqing with a large number of American-made 37 anti-tank anti-tank guns and some 57-mm anti-tank guns. They also began to equip Chongqing's air force with air-to-ground rockets in large quantities. Although only
Provides some M III and V light tanks, but provides two complete regiments of M 18 Hellcat tank destroyers.
The Americans are constantly strengthening the strength of Chongqing's shield, and at the same time, they are also constantly reducing weapons and equipment assistance to the Anti-Alliance. After four or five years, the amount of equipment aided by the United States has repeatedly declined. By May and June, the amount of equipment arrived was already
It's reached the point where it's almost there.
Yang Zhen didn't care too much about the United States' assistance in reducing weapons and equipment. Although his own tank production capacity was insufficient, at least for now, it could temporarily meet the needs. Therefore, he repeatedly asked the Americans to use machinery and equipment for the weapons and equipment that had broken the contract.
Military raw materials to offset.
After painstaking dealings with the United States, the two sides reached the latest agreement on the issue of assistance for four to five years. The Americans will no longer provide weapons and equipment other than aircraft to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the original weapons and equipment quota will be used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The most urgently needed industrial equipment will be credited against your account.
However, a fierce conflict broke out between Yang Zhen and the United States regarding the type of industrial equipment. The Americans refused to provide large-tonnage hydraulic presses and rejected the shipbuilding equipment proposed by Yang Zhen. They only agreed to use the existing industrial base of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to provide partial recovery.
These factories have the production capacity, urgently needed equipment and spare parts.
The United States does not provide steel manufacturing equipment other than electric furnaces, but it can provide some oil mining equipment and some light industrial manufacturing machinery and equipment. The United States can provide the power equipment required by the Anti-Japanese War to repair industrial facilities in South Manchuria that were damaged by the war, ensuring that
Electricity required for industrial production in South Manchuria.
However, the equipment needed for the expansion of manufacturing industry was still rejected by the Americans. The United States, with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, has recovered the entire South Manchu Industrial Zone and obtained supplements from South Manchuria industry, which is enough to make up for the consumption of the war except for some raw materials. It is no longer necessary to continue to provide a large number of machinery and equipment for the Anti-Liang.
The Americans were very resolute and insisted on providing only some of the equipment needed in the South Manchuria Industrial Zone. However, they refused to increase South Manchuria's industrial production capacity, especially equipment related to military industry. After painstaking efforts, the Americans finally agreed to provide the equipment for the gap. Fushun's special steel manufacturing industry has resumed, and Fushun Aluminum Plant has provided a batch of required equipment.
It also agreed to sell some aircraft manufacturing equipment to restore the production capacity of the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. It also agreed to provide a batch of machinery and equipment needed for automobile manufacturing. It also agreed to provide a batch of coal mining and coal washing for the resumption of production at the two major coal mines in Fushun and Fuxin. equipment, and thermal power generation equipment.
In other respects, the Americans only agreed to provide 300 tractors to the Northeast to help the Northeast People's Government develop the Liaohe Delta. They also agreed to provide another 1,000 drilling rigs to assist the Northeast in developing the Liaohe Oil Field. But everything was included in the confrontation. Projects aided by the Lend-Lease Act all require accounting.
Faced with the change in the Americans' attitude towards aid, Yang Zhen quickly put forward a proposal for the most preferential treatment of trade with the United States. This proposal suddenly attracted the interest of the Americans, who had a tough attitude. After a month and a half of negotiations, an agreement was reached that Americans have regretted for decades.
As for Chongqing's constant actions, Yang Zhen, who was urgently recalled to Peking by the central government, did not take it seriously. Chongqing will not fight at this time. They are not stupid enough to have reached this juncture. The foreign war has not yet ended, and a large number of invasions The civil war was first launched while the rebels were still stationed on the country. Politically, they were at a disadvantage first, and I was afraid that the United States would turn its back first.
Although they now have a lot of beautiful weapons, they are very strong-backed and have sufficient confidence. But the misfire at this time is just a test. So the chairman asked what if Chongqing takes action first, Yang Zhen simply answered In one sentence, fight them back. Let's see if it's their art equipment that's stronger, or our fists.
Regarding Yang Zhen's tough attitude, the chairman just smiled and said nothing more. He just talked with him for a long time about the future development of Northeast China and Yang Zhen's next step in view of the situation in the entire Northeast, which is actually the Korean battlefield. Strategic ideas and ideas.
After taking over as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, he presided over the overall work of the Northeast and was responsible for the overall work of the military region. He was also responsible for external negotiations and presided over the research and development of certain secret projects. Yang Zhen, who was really overwhelmed by the pressure, repeatedly asked the central government to give him Under the request of sending additional manpower to share some work.
After careful consideration, the chairman finally decided to transfer the former commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to the second political commissar of the Northeast Military Region, and concurrently as the secretary of the newly established Northeast Bureau Science and Technology Committee, specifically responsible for some cutting-edge weapons research work. The first political commissar of the military region is Yang Zhen. concurrently.
After the central government's adjustment, Yang Zhen was the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, the commander of the Northeast Military Region and the first political commissar. He held the three positions of the Northeast Party, government and military, and became a veritable king of the Northeast. Although after the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was transferred to the Northeast , Yang Zhen repeatedly requested that the positions of first political commissar and first secretary be changed to himself, the old leader. But the chairman's attitude was very clear, telling Yang Zhen that this decision would not change.
However, although the central government met Yang Zhen's needs and relieved him of part of his burden, at the request of the boss, the central government retained Wang Guangyu, who assisted General Lin in commanding the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops to enter the country, as deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission.
Li Yanping, the acting political commissar of the Military Region, was also transferred and was appointed political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
Yang Zhen was somewhat caught off guard when his old partner and a general were suddenly transferred away. However, the boss made a request to strengthen the central command force. Although Yang Zhen was somewhat reluctant, he could only let him go. Moreover, the central government proposed to transfer the people.
The reason why Li Yanping went to work in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also made Yang Zhen unable to refuse. The troops transferred to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region by the Anti-Japanese League were mainly deployed in the jurisdiction of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Transferring Li Yanping to work in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was conducive to maintaining
The stability of the army.
Old partners and generals were transferred away, even though Yang Zhen also knew that it would be impossible to work together forever. There is no such thing as a banquet in this world, but he still felt quite disappointed.
