Rebirth of the Legend of Red Star Chapter 100: Farewell
What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong had not yet come up with a plan for troop reorganization and expansion, and the chairman's telegram arrived first.
The chairman is a leader and a man of great courage. His telegram to Liu and Luo made it very clear: "Slow down, concentrate on restoring the base area, restore the combat effectiveness of the troops, and use Shandong's abundant military resources to develop
Armed. Based on the existing main force, it will take one to two years to develop the main force of the field army to 300,000 and the local armed forces to more than 200,000 to achieve the goal reported to the Central Committee by Liu Yimin before marching eastward to Shandong. To achieve this goal,
In addition to the central and southern Shandong area, powerful troops and capable commanders should be dispatched to western Shandong, southwestern Shandong and Jiaodong to take command and fight with the enemy repeatedly until a truly solid base area is established. The top priority is to advance to Jiaodong after the main force has completed its rest and replenishment.
Launch offensive operations on Ji Road, Jinpu Road, and Longhai Road, and mobilize Japanese puppet troops in western Shandong, southwestern Shandong, Hebei Shandong border, southern Hebei, central Hebei, and Jiaodong to create conditions for our army to resume base areas in the above-mentioned areas."
The chairman's telegram also involved personnel issues, proposing to transfer Zhu Rui, Tan Zheng, and Xu Guangda back to Xi'an to strengthen Shaanxi's defense work, and to transfer a group of cadres such as Guo Hongtao back to Xi'an to attend the party school. Considering that Zeng Zhongsheng died for the country, the chairman asked Liu and Luo to adjust Chen Shiqu's work.
, another leader of the Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade was assigned to enable Chen Shiqu to perform the duties of deputy chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region and assist Liu and Luo in commanding operations.
Regarding the selection of the Chief of Staff of the Shandong Military Region, Liu Yimin is actually thinking about it.
Historically, after the central government made it clear that Luo Ronghuan was in charge of Shandong, it transferred Zhu Rui and Chen Guang away and sent Chen Shiqu to serve as the chief of staff of the 115th Division.
At that time, the reason why the central government transferred Zhu Rui was to unify the leadership of the party, government and army in Shandong. The transfer of Chen Guang also had this meaning, but at the same time Chen Guang also had personal problems, that is, the issue of Chen Guang breaking through first in the Battle of Lufang. At that time, Luo Ronghuan
He was not in the army and was commanded by Chen Guang. The final result of the battle was very good, which showed the prestige of our army. Unfortunately, Chen Guang, the acting commander of the 115th Division, after organizing the troops to fight fiercely, did not break out with the main 686th regiment when they retreated.
He led a cavalry company to break through alone. Later, Luo Ronghuan severely criticized Chen Guang for this. Chen Guang was extremely depressed for a period of time, but it was Luo Ronghuan who worked for him and the troops, which maintained Chen Guang's prestige. Maybe
It was also from this incident that Chen Guang's status in the army and in his mind declined. Later, the chairman naturally chose Luo Ronghuan to take charge of Shandong instead of Chen Guang, the acting commander of the 115th Division. Facts proved that the chairman's choice was correct. Of course,
Chen Guang's subsequent tragedy is regrettable.
Chen Shiqu went to Jinggangshan with the chairman after the Autumn Harvest Uprising. He served as the chief of staff of the division during the Red Army period. Historically, he served as the chief of staff of the 115th Division. He has been fighting in Shandong and East China, and has successively served as chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region, and Huaye
Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff of Sanye, Commander of Chen Tang Corps, is the Chairman's favorite general.
The problem is that there are candidates in the Shandong Army who are more suitable to serve as Chief of Staff than Chen Shiqu. In terms of seniority, Zhu Rui, Yuan Guoping, Xu Guangda, and Cheng Cuilin are all older than Chen Shiqu. In terms of military merit, within the ranks of the Shandong Army, Gao Yuan, Liu Jianli,
Li Qing, Lei Ming, Hong Chaoyuan, Zhang Hongtao, Chen Dayong, and Zhao Shan all came earlier than Chen Shiqu. It should be said that they had experienced more wars and had much greater military exploits.
Liu Yimin's favorite candidate for chief of staff is Liu Jianshe, commander of the Second Teaching Brigade, who was the old chief of staff of the 18th Red Regiment and the Central Guard Division. But after thinking about it, he felt that Liu Jianshe, the current brigade commander of the main brigades in Plateau,
Can't move, the army will be expanded soon, and they all will be division commanders. In fact, they will also be the commanders of the army after the brigade-level establishment was abolished. They have heavy responsibilities. It is more suitable to choose one of the four people Zhu Rui, Yuan Guoping, Xu Guangda, and Cheng Cuilin. These four people
Among them, Zhu Rui, Yuan Guoping, and Xu Guangda are all famous generals of our army who studied in Moscow during the Red Army. If it were not for the purpose of strengthening Shandong's strength, Yuan Guoping would have gone to the New Fourth Army, and Xu Guangda would have been the director of education at the Anti-Japanese University. Cheng Cuilin was also unambiguous.
He was a political commissar of Red 34. After going north to fight against Japan, he served as the political commissar of the First Teaching Brigade and the Political Commissar of the Second Teaching Brigade. At this time, he was the deputy director of the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region, the political commissar of the First Teaching Brigade and the commander of the New First Brigade. Political commissar, he was promoted to the staff officer of the Shandong Military Region.
The length is very suitable. Moreover, these four people are basically used as deputy leaders of the Shandong Military Region. Among them, Zhu Rui is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Bureau.
As soon as the chairman's telegram was sent, there was no need to consider the issue of Zhu Rui and Xu Guangda anymore. The chairman transferred Zhu Rui, Tan Zheng, and Xu Guangda back to Shaanxi, and made it very clear that he wanted to strengthen Shaanxi's defense force. When these three people go back, they will form a headquarters.
There is a commander, political commissar, and chief of staff. There may even be two headquarters. It seems that the chairman was angered by Chiang Kai-shek's attack on Shaanxi. Maybe part of the troops returning to Shaanxi led by Mr. Peng will stay in Shaanxi to form a separate group.
It was left to the command of these three people.
Liu Yimin originally envisioned that when the troops were reorganized, even if Zhu Rui and Xu Guangda could not serve as chiefs of staff, they would have to serve as commanders of the main divisions and take sole responsibility. Now that the chairman's telegram has arrived, this plan has been disrupted.
There is another question. Chen Shiqu has done a very good job in Southwest Shandong. Liu Yimin appreciates him very much. Liu Yimin can rest assured that he will be in charge of Southwest Shandong. Liu Yimin’s original military expansion plan was for Chen Shiqu to be the commander of the Southwest Shandong Military Region. If he is transferred now
When we come back, we will immediately have to send people to southwestern Shandong again.
During the war years, cadre issues were also very complicated. The chairman may have considered these factors before he said in the telegram that Chen Shiqu should perform the duties of deputy chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region instead of directly appointing him as chief of staff.
Zeng Zhongsheng, you really shouldn’t have sacrificed!
After reading the chairman's instruction telegram, Luo Ronghuan said: "Commander, the chairman's request is consistent with our opinion, which is to restore the base area and expand the army. It seems that we have to come up with an expansion plan as soon as possible. If it is too late, we will be passive."
Liu Yimin said: "Political Commissar, we have to consider a question now. After Chen Shiqu is transferred back to the military region, who will he send to southwestern Shandong?"
Luo Ronghuan was also troubled by this matter. He knew that the elites of our army in Shandong must be highly concentrated. In the future, the tasks of various local military regions will be guerrilla warfare, and the environment will be relatively harsh. Chen Shiqu has been in southwestern Shandong for a long time and is familiar with the customs and geography.
If you have a certain prestige and are transferred rashly to become a newbie, you will at least have a familiarization process, but you may still suffer losses.
Luo Ronghuan said decisively: "Call back to the chairman. Chen Shiqu will not be transferred for the time being. No changes will be made until the troop expansion plan is finalized and the reorganization is generally completed. At the moment, Southwest Shandong cannot do without Chen Shiqu. The work within the scope of the chief of staff's responsibilities will be carried out by Liu for the time being.
, Luo and Cai are responsible for it respectively."
As soon as Liu Yimin heard Luo Ronghuan's words, he knew that he had thought too much again, and that the political commissar was simpler than he thought. It seemed that it was superfluous to think so much. The cadres at this time were different from those in later generations, and they did not have so many thoughts in their hearts.
, they all just pick up their backpacks and leave after giving an order, regardless of their level or other issues.
Liu Yimin thought about it for a while and said to Luo Ronghuan: "There is one more thing to add to the call back to the chairman. Can Tan Zheng, Zhu Rui, and Xu Guangda go back to Xi'an one less time? And whether Comrade Hong Tao will consider not returning to Xi'an to study for the time being?"
Now the business is big and we need key cadres. I suggest Zhu Rui and Xu Guangda go back alone, while Guo Hongtao stays. When the situation gets better, the Shandong Bureau will specially send cadres back to the party school to study."
Luo Ronghuan disagreed with Liu Yimin's view. He said that Shandong is important and Shaanxi is more important. If Shaanxi cannot be defended, the central government will have to move again. Although Chiang Kai-shek has temporarily retreated from Hanzhong and Shangluo, they occupy northern Sichuan and Longnan and can move to Xi'an again at any time.
To launch an attack, Shaanxi's defense force must be strengthened. In addition, the garrison divisions should defend in northern Sichuan, Longnan, and Ankang, and the security divisions should defend in Shangluo and Tongguan. Shaanxi must also defend in the north and the front line of the Yellow River. There should be four different areas of defense.
Headquarters. How can we do without key military cadres?
Everything Luo Ronghuan said makes sense.
Liu Yimin no longer insisted and told Luo Ronghuan to call back the chairman, quickly formulate a reorganization plan, and arrange for Guo Hongtao, Zhu Rui, Tan Zheng, and Xu Guangda to see off.
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the cadres who were transferred back to Shaanxi gathered in Dadian. Liu Yimin held a banquet in the headquarters to see off the comrades.
Zhu Rui arrived in Shandong early. He was originally responsible for local armed construction, and later he also served as political commissar of the Fourth Teaching Brigade, political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, district party committee secretary, brigade commander and political commissar of the New Fourth Brigade. He worked with Liu Yimin for a long time and was very affectionate. He
With this departure, the New Fourth Brigade immediately lost its brigade commander and political commissar and had to be re-equipped.
Tan Zheng and Xu Guang had only been in Shandong for a short time, but they encountered a Japanese raid as soon as they arrived in Shandong. They were responsible for the work of the Ludong headquarters and were responsible for their work. The departure of these two people also made Liu Yimin feel that he had lost a powerful helper.
This farewell dinner was very dull.
Zhu Rui, Tan Zheng, Xu Guangda, Guo Hongtao, from the bottom of their hearts, no one wants to leave. There are so many little devils in Shandong, and a fight is a big battle. Who wants to miss it? However, military orders cannot be violated. Although Shaanxi is temporarily stable
, but no one can say whether the situation will continue to deteriorate in the future. Going back to defend the Shaanxi base area is also a supremely glorious task, and there is no room for bargaining.
When making a toast, Luo Ronghuan said that Shaanxi was attacked by the Kuomintang, and the chairman sent comrades back to strengthen and integrate Shaanxi's defense forces and defend our base camp. Shandong was reluctant to let the comrades leave, the army was reluctant to let the comrades leave, and the comrades were reluctant to leave the comrades.
Let's go. However, new posts are waiting for comrades, and new tasks are waiting for comrades. I can only say farewell to you all. I wish comrades that they will make new contributions to the revolution in their new posts!
Liu Yimin said it honestly, saying that Comrade Hong Tao and Comrade Zhu Rui have been working in Shandong longer and have more opportunities to talk to each other. Comrades Tan Zheng and Xu Guangda arrived late and went into battle as soon as they arrived, so they rarely had the opportunity to talk together.
Liu Yimin said, I have many shortcomings. For example, I am easy to be arbitrary when encountering fighter planes. I often make decisions after thinking about them myself, and rarely communicate and discuss with my comrades in advance. But this is all for the purpose of fighting the Japanese.
In order to win. Also, I pay more attention to system construction and use the weapons of criticism and self-criticism poorly, which makes it easy for comrades to misunderstand and think that I, Liu Yimin, ignores inner-party criticism and self-criticism and is arrogant. For another example, in
My procrastination and lack of decisiveness in dealing with emotional issues can easily lead comrades to think that I want to be polygamous. In fact, the situation is very complicated and not what some comrades think. I did divorce Tang Xingying and married Ni Hua
The central government and comrades are all aware of this matter. However, because they care about their two sons, it is inevitable that they will not worry about Tang Xingying and her son, and violations of discipline cannot be prevented. The reason is very simple, that is, there is some selfishness in the heart, and they do not want the two
A son lost his mother. All in all, his party spirit is still impure and needs further training.
Liu Yimin regarded the farewell party as a democratic life meeting and carried out self-criticism. Everyone who listened was confused and didn't know what he was going to say.
Xu Guangda is a veteran Red Army general. What Liu Yimin said made him more and more confused. He opened his mouth and said: "Commander, we are leaving soon. Why are you talking so much about self-reflection? Could it be that I, Mr. Xu, have gone to work in Shandong?"
Haven't you been resolute in carrying out your orders? I dare to say something, in my heart. You are the soul of our army in Shandong, and Liu Yimin's name symbolizes victory. How arbitrary, how sloppy in dealing with emotional issues, it's all nonsense!
As long as we can win the war and develop and grow, are these issues important? If you continue to review, I, Mr. Xu, will leave Shandong in tears. Do you not trust me? How can any leader keep reviewing when bidding farewell to his subordinates?
!”
Liu Yimin smiled and said: "Old Xu, Comrade Xu Guangda, I will punish myself with a glass of wine."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yimin picked up the wine glass and drank it all. After drinking, he continued: "I am not making a review, I am sincerely talking to my comrades. To be honest, I am reluctant to let you go. I am still thinking about expanding the army.
You shoulder the burden and let you go to the main force to stand alone! I think, in less than two years, our army in Shandong will form three to four field corps. Each field corps needs a general to lead it. Alas, what a pity.
, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, Chiang Kai-shek disrupted our plan, everyone knows the situation in Shaanxi, the Kuomintang is eyeing the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, the chairman is going to point the finger at you! The mission is glorious! I can't bear the pain
Cut off love. Besides, I, like you, have to obey the orders of the central government. Let’s talk about it first. If you can’t hold Shaanxi after you go back, don’t tell outsiders that you came from the instructor, and don’t say that I, Liu Yimin, once commanded
You guys, I can’t afford to lose that person! If you can’t, tell me as soon as possible and I’ll go back to Shaanxi to see who dares to take advantage of Shaanxi!”
When Zhu Rui heard this, he said: "Commander, I don't drink. But today I broke the habit, so I have to have a drink with you no matter what."
After saying that, Zhu Rui filled it up for himself, raised it up and touched it with Liu Yimin, raised his neck and drank it in one breath.
Liu Yimin looked at Zhu Rui. He couldn't understand why he suddenly drank so happily, so he could only pick up a cup full of sesame flavor and pour it into his stomach.
Zhu Rui drank wine, wiped his mouth, and then said to Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong: "Commander, political commissar, Director Cai, I can be considered a member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Bureau and one of the main military cadres of the Shandong Military Region, right? Commander
You asked me to return to Shaanxi to guard the base and not to lose the instructor, so it’s not an exaggeration for me to ask for something, right?”
Guo Hongtao immediately picked up: "Yes, Russia is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Bureau. Before leaving, the commander and political commissar must give some gifts to support the trip!"
Liu Yimin put down his wine bowl, laughed loudly, pointed at Zhu Rui and Guo Hongtao and said: "Well, you, Old Zhu, Old Guo, it's not like you don't know Shandong's family background. The little devils have ruined the base area like this. How can you come up with it?"
I really don’t have much on hand. Tell me, what do you want?”
Zhu Rui said: "I am studying artillery, so I need a twelve-barreled rocket launcher, with enough rocket shells, and a rocket launcher squad."
Guo Hongtao said: "I may not necessarily engage in military work after returning to Shaanxi. I will probably transfer to local work. I want machinery and equipment. The logistics base in Shaanxi was destroyed by the Japs, and many small factories no longer exist. Commander, you
Give me the equipment of a small machine shop so that I can build machines."
When Xu Guangda saw that these two people were asking for something, he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage, so he immediately said: "Commander, I think our special operations team is very powerful. Can you send me a special operations team?"
Among the four people, only Tan Zheng remained silent.
Before leaving, Liu Yimin actually made a review, and he reviewed several opinions raised by Tan Zheng during the last meeting in Pingyi.
Tan Zheng felt bitter in his heart. He didn't expect that he didn't pay attention to the way he spoke at that time, and he actually left so many thoughts in the commander's mind. It was time to say goodbye. The commander was still reviewing everything at the wine table. Zhu Rui
, Guo Hongtao, Xu Guangda and the others don’t know, but Political Commissar Luo and Director Cai know it well. The commander wants to make it clear to him again. It seems that I, Tan Zheng, are dissatisfied with the commander!
Zhu Rui, Guo Hongtao, and Xu Guangda were all excited when they wanted something or someone, as if they were sure that Liu Yimin would give it to them, but Tan Zheng remained silent and looked gloomy.
As soon as Luo Ronghuan heard Liu Yimin's review, he knew that it was bad. Tan Zheng must have something in mind. Sure enough, Tan Zheng, who never drank alcohol, now kept his head down and drank silently. If he didn't dissuade him, he might get drunk.
Luo Ronghuan said quickly: "Deputy Political Commissar Tan, do you have any requests?"
Tan Zheng said in a low voice: "I don't have the qualifications!"
After saying this, the scene suddenly turned cold.
Liu Yimin wanted to repeat some issues and give an explanation to the comrades, so that everyone would not be confused and do not know how to deal with criticism when they heard someone criticize him after leaving Shandong. At the same time, he also wanted the four of them to report after returning to Xi'an.
I was able to have an objective evaluation of the work in Shandong while working, and I didn't expect Tan Zheng to think of going elsewhere.
As soon as Tan Zheng said this, Liu Yimin knew that he had made a mistake. He quickly stood up with a glass of wine and walked to Tan Zheng and said: "Old Tan, we are comrades who share life and death. I just made a review and it was sincere. I wanted to
Comrades know that I also have shortcomings. After returning to Shaanxi, the chairman and others asked about the work in Shandong, and everyone had a relatively objective evaluation of the work in Shandong. They would not just talk about the achievements and not the problems. Come, let’s have a drink.
!”
Dear book friends: There are only two days left until the end of the month, please give me a guaranteed monthly pass!
