Below the headquarters, there are general headquarters of the navy, land and air force. The commander-in-chief is Ouyang Yun, the minister of defense. As for senior officers at the deputy commander level, those who have joined the Xuebing Army include Jiang Guangnai as the third deputy commander-in-chief of the army, Chu
Tian Ge is appointed as the fifth deputy commander-in-chief of the Army, Li Tieshu is appointed as the second deputy chief of staff of the army; Tielin Fei is appointed as the second deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and Wang Hai is appointed as the third deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force; Chen Ce is appointed as the first deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy, and Chen Shichang is appointed as the Navy
The third deputy commander-in-chief, Chen Yuanyang, serves as the second deputy chief of staff of the Navy. Below the general headquarters of the three services is the strategic command, which is only half the level below. Ouyang Yun proposed the establishment of a strategic command, and Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren and others expressed confusion.
But after Ouyang Yun repeatedly asked them to keep it secret, and then showed off the latest surface-to-surface missiles, they understood the importance of this unit. The Strategic Command not only has jurisdiction over the missile force, but will also be fully responsible for counter-espionage and intelligence.
work, after the establishment of this unit, there will be two subordinate departments, one is the Central Intelligence Agency, and the other is the Strategic Defense Office. The commander-in-chief of the Strategic Command will be Mu Jiandie, and Tsunene will be the director of the CIA and the Strategic Defense Office.
The director is Gu Lianyun.
The Headquarters replaced the Military Commission, and the war zones during the Military Committee period would naturally have to be re-divided. This was the central topic of this meeting. After Ouyang Yun read out the appointments of Feng Yuxiang, Chen Cheng, Li Zongren, Deng Xihou and others to the Headquarters, this
The issue was immediately put on the agenda. Feng Yuxiang failed to get what he wanted in the end. However, the First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Ouyang Yun promised to allocate him a guard division establishment, which could be regarded as an offer to this old senior.
A good explanation. Among all the appointments, the one related to Chen Cheng is the focus. Chen Cheng will not only serve as the Deputy Minister of Defense, but also the Chief of Army General Staff. In addition to him, there are two other people from the Civil Engineering Department who have been approved to join the headquarters.
They are Lin Wei, who serves as the director of the Military Information Consulting Office of the headquarters, and Zhou Zhirou, who serves as the chief of general staff of the Air Force.
Ouyang Yun's appointment of senior officers at the level of commander of the headquarters was actually the result of political compromise. After the appointment was announced, naturally some people were happy, some were worried, and some were dismissive. Fortunately, no one raised questions on the spot, which can be regarded as
This is one of the benefits brought by Chen Cheng's appointment as Deputy Defense Minister.
The re-division of war zones is actually related to the future survival and development space of each faction. At least, ten of the people attending the meeting thought so. So when Ouyang Yun announced it, those who were still whispering among themselves immediately shut up.
, those who were originally sitting upright couldn't help but straighten their bodies, and all of them sat upright, becoming cautious about their work.
Before the formation of the coalition government, the country was divided into twelve war zones according to the divisions of the Military Commission. The Military Commission's standard for dividing war zones at that time was entirely based on region. However, as the war progressed, many war zones had actually been completely occupied.
After the Japanese occupation, the troops had to retreat to the rear or enter other war zones. To put it bluntly, these war zones have lost their foothold and can actually be banned. Chiang Kai-shek did not do this at the time, so what about Ouyang Yun now?
This is the focus of everyone's attention.
Ten theater commanders, except Yan Xishan, the commander of the second theater in Shanxi, Zhu Shaoliang, the commander of the eighth theater in Gansu, Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the Yicha Theater in Chahar, and Zhang Fakui who is on the front line
, six people were supposed to arrive, but in fact only four arrived. They were Li Zongren, commander of the fifth war zone, Yang Sen, commander of the ninth war zone, Jiang Ding, commander of the tenth war zone, and Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sulu war zone.
Among these four people, Yu Xuezhong is considered an old subordinate of Ouyang Yun. Li Zongren and Yang Sen have good personal relationships with Ouyang Yun, so they will definitely come. Jiang Ding, on the other hand, has almost exhausted his troops in Shaanxi, so he has only one option to make a comeback.
Relying on the "central government", I had to come. The two people who did not arrive were Wei Lihuang, commander of the first theater, and Gu Zhutong, commander of the third theater.
Wei Lihuang did not come, firstly because his wife had just died of illness, and secondly because he was busy rescuing his missing daughter and son. Wei Lihuang’s First War Zone still controls many areas in Henan, so the reason why he was transferred
When he returned to Chongqing, it was because he was too close to the Communist Party, which aroused Lao Jiang's vigilance. Lao Jiang sent him back specifically to beat him and give him a chance to rein in the precipice. However, current events created people, because the Japanese army followed closely
He launched the "Operation Qinling", and because his wife was seriously ill, he was stranded in Chongqing and lost the opportunity to return to the front line in Henan.
Gu Zhutong did not come because of Hu Shisan and his Santai guerrilla column. In 1941, when Hu Shisan had just set up the Santai guerrilla column, there was friction between Gu Zhutong's troops and the New Fourth Army.
When Qiao Da fought, Gu Zhutong called Linghu Thirteen for support. However, Fox Thirteen refused on the pretext that the Xue Bing Army would not fight him. In this battle, gmd's 100,000-strong army was defeated by 7,000 New Fourth Army soldiers. Gu Zhutong's
His favorite general Li Shouwei, the commander of the 89th Army, also drowned on the way to escape. This directly caused the gmd army to be unable to gain a foothold in Jiangsu, which was a great hatred in Gu Zhutong's heart. Colleague Gu Zhu later summarized the reasons and did not mention the battle of his unit.
They were unable to do anything, but they blamed the Santai guerrilla column, believing that it was Hu Shisan's failure to save the Central Army that led to the defeat of the Central Army. In addition, the Santai guerrilla column later completely controlled the Santai area, which caused the Central Army's defeat.
His request to join the establishment of the third theater turned a deaf ear, which completely offended him. When the notice from the headquarters was delivered to his door, he refused to let the officer who sent the notice in at all, and said the following words to his officers
: There are rumors outside that the Xuebing Army defeated the Japanese very well. According to me, what the Xuebing Army is best at is seizing territory. Does the Xuebing Army not attack its own people? That’s a beautiful thing to say, but taking advantage of the national crisis to rise to power, what better way to do that?
Is this something even more shameless? Devaluing Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun as worthless.
Gu Zhutong did not attend the meeting, but he was worried that his army would be annexed, so he sent a confidant to attend, that is, Han Deqin, who was the chairman of Jiangsu Province at the time.
Gu Zhutong did not give face to Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun and did not come to the meeting. Naturally, there was no place for him in the headquarters. Ouyang Yun's personnel appointment was announced to be over. Han Deqin had never heard Gu Zhutong's name. Naturally,
He thought so, and therefore disagreed. When Ouyang Yun announced that the next discussion on the division of new station areas was involved, his ears immediately stood up because the vital interests of his group were involved.
