After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region sent a telegram to the central government, requesting approval to implement the expansion and reorganization of our army in Shandong.
The order to expand and reorganize the army from the central and headquarters was quickly issued. However, the number changed, and the main division became a certain column of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Military Region, with brigades under the column.
The Chairman made it clear in a secret telegram to Liu and Luo that the main division was changed to a column in order to reduce unnecessary trouble. As the Kuomintang attacked Shaanxi, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has now dropped to the lowest point since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the Kuomintang even stopped.
He paid the Eighth Route Army headquarters and three divisions. Enlai asked Chiang Kai-shek several times but was rejected, so he could only quarrel with He Yingqin every day. There were only three regular division-level troops in the Eighth Route Army, and four local division-level troops in Shaanxi.
Our army in Shandong immediately created twelve division-level numbers, and Chiang Kai-shek probably won't fight the Japanese devils. On the other hand, he was afraid that he would join forces with the Japanese devils to fight the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, it is impossible to expand the main force into a division, which is too jealous.
It is said that the column is more suitable.
The Chairman reminded Liu and Luo that the army expansion should be bold and the pace should be fast. As long as there is food and money, you should implement it boldly. Don’t be afraid of shortage of troops and insufficient weapons and equipment for the temporary period of time, win more battles, and restore and expand the base area as soon as possible. These problems
All can be solved. Pay attention to using the main column to drive the development of local armed forces, and use local armed forces to support the expansion of the main force. Make up your mind to complete the construction of the main force in half a year to a year; and take one to two years to temper the local armed forces of each military region into strong and powerful
Main force.
The Chairman asked the Shandong Bureau that the Shandong Military Region must establish the guiding ideology of protracted combat with the Japanese army, pointing out that as German fascism achieves more and more victories in Europe, the Japanese army will become more and more crazy, and it is likely to further adjust its policy of invasion of China, again
Concentrate our efforts against our base and find the main force of our army.
As for Liu Yimin's request to go to Chongqing to rescue Ni Hua and his daughter, the chairman only wrote two words on his telegram: "Absurd!"
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin did not give up and sent three telegrams to the chairman in a row, repeatedly stating his reasons. As a result, the chairman ignored him at all. Finally, President Zhu sent a telegram saying that the US aid was again
It is important, not as important as Liu Yimin. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Ni Hua and his daughter are safe, so I wait for news about Vice Chairman Zhou doing the work. If Vice Chairman Zhou fails to do his work, then take rescue measures. It is to rescue Ni Hua
, Liu Yimin doesn't need to go. Vice Chairman Zhou has rich experience in fighting the enemy, and there are many ways to go. Even if Liu Yimin needs to go, it must be done on the premise of ensuring security. There is no guarantee of safety for the time being, and the central and headquarters will definitely not
approve.
Liu Yimin was completely out of temper. After reading the telegram, he closed the door and slept alone for a day and a night. He didn't even open Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman knocked on the door.

After Cai Zhong conveyed the military expansion and reorganization plan approved by the central government and headquarters, the venue was in full swing and the discussion was immediately started.
Artillery Commander Li Changhan was bold and stood up on the spot to report that the artillery brigade should also be expanded into an artillery column. If it is not upgraded to a column, it cannot be explained to the cadres and soldiers! Also, the cavalry brigade should also be expanded into a cavalry column, and those cavalry regiment commanders
He should have been a brigade commander for a long time.
Well, Li Chang still has to stand up for Hu Laohu!
In addition to Secretary Liu Yimin and Second Secretary Luo Ronghuan, Shandong Bureau originally had five members, including Zeng Zhongsheng, Guo Hongtao, Zhu Rui, Li Yu, and Cai Zhong. Later, Tan Zheng and Yang Zhicheng were added, and the number of members became seven. Now,
Zeng Zhongsheng died, Guo Hongtao, Zhu Rui and Tan Zheng were transferred, and only Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Li Yu, Cai Zhong, and Yang Zhicheng were no one sitting on the rostrum. The cadres in the audience said this report.
He stopped talking, and the leaders on the rostrum stopped talking, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Cai Zhongdao, the commander can see far, and the cadre problem was really a big problem when it was expanded.
Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Li Chang's question is correct. Our artillery brigade has already had several artillery brigades, but the artillery regiments are scattered among the main brigades. In fact, every major battle we have
Artillery firepower is used in a concentrated manner, and several brigade-level artillery groups have long been formed. Our cavalry brigade is responsible for luring the enemy, assault, and behind the palace tasks in every battle. He has experienced cadres, sacrifices in the army, and has great military achievements.
God can't stand it if the troops are not expanded. However, because of the difficulties in replenishing war horses and the large amount of supplies, the troops have not been able to expand on a large scale. So far, the cavalry brigade has the least number of people in each brigade. To be honest, I
The first thing I want to expand is artillery, armored soldiers, and cavalry. One is powerful, one is fierce assault, and the other is strong mobility, and the plains and mountains are unstoppable. However, this time, it will not be expanded because the cavalry brigade does not have so many war horses.
, the armored regiment does not have so many tanks, and if the artillery brigade is expanded into the artillery column, it will have a great impact. In fact, our artillery headquarters, cavalry headquarters and other commands are at the same level as the main force and are responsible for unification.
Commanding the artillery, cavalry, air defense firepower, engineers, baggage units, etc. of the entire army has provided support for the entire army. Comrades, don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before the artillery brigade is changed to the artillery column and the cavalry brigade is changed to the cavalry column. However, the cavalry brigade is changed to the name of the cavalry
When cavalry columns, cavalry only account for a part of them. We want to change our cavalry columns into fast columns and arm our cavalry with tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles. The American cavalry division has long changed its equipment, and we will go on.
We also need to change our clothes. Another point is that we should not worry about the use of cadres. This time we are expanding the army greatly, and the cadre gap is very large. Several regiment commanders and political commissars of the elephant artillery brigade and cavalry brigade may have other appointments.
The Military Region Party Committee will treat every cadre fairly and fairly, and you will know after the headquarters orders come out and announces it."
After this statement, Li Chang finally sat down, and the cadres of the Cavalry Brigade and the Heavy Machine Gun Brigade also had expectations on their faces.
Liu Yimin knew the thoughts of the cadres. When our army awarded ranks in history, the chairman once said: "Men don't cry easily, but it's not time to award ranks." This is human nature, and every soldier longs for justice and fairness.
and the embodiment of recognition.
Liu Yimin began to speak: "This military expansion was decided based on changes in the situation on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. The War of Resistance has been fighting for two years, and the Japanese devils' conspiracy to quickly destroy China has completely gone bankrupt, and the cabinet fell one after another. I see
, the current Minei Gwangmaster cabinet will not last a few days, and it may collapse again within a few months."
The cadres laughed loudly.
When the laughter subsided, Liu Yimin continued, "Our army is getting stronger and stronger as we fight. Think about it, when we went north to fight against Japan, the entire division was only about 70,000. Now? As long as we complete this expansion task, our
The main force is about to reach 400,000 people. However, this is far from enough. It is still far from my goal. For example, the Japanese navy rushed around, and we didn't even have a coastal defense brigade.
Most of them were built in southeast Shandong and Hebei-Shandong each. They could only act as sentinels. How could this work? Also, we guarded three railway lines, but there was no railway column. The Japanese quickly took Germany.
After the Shi Railway is built, it will also repair Zaotai Road and Taizhao Road. In the future, we will defeat the Japanese. How can we do without the railway troops? Therefore, we will continue to expand our troops, but we must adopt the method of snowballing to take the main force.
Drive the development of local armed forces. When local armed forces mature, they will be transformed into the main force. In the future, we will concentrate millions of troops to find the Japanese army to fight decisively, and he will not be able to fight with us! But now the conditions are not ripe, and we are not short of soldiers who actively fight against Japan
But the time for weapons, equipment, food and training soldiers. There is no way, the Japanese kept staring at us, and our training headquarters did not have time to calm down and train recruits seriously. Moreover, last autumn had a severe drought,
There was only one snow in winter, and it was obvious that there might be another severe drought in spring this year, which would inevitably affect grain production. In the past, our troops were small in scale and could only rely on seizures. But now it is not possible. Such a huge army, coupled with the teachers and students of the school,
The employees of the arsenal all have to eat food, and it will not work just by relying on seizure. Do Japanese devils don’t have that much food! These factors are the reasons that affect our large-scale expansion of the army. For the time being, we can only reorganize and expand the army in this way.”
Speaking of this, Liu Yimin felt that he should enhance his confidence in the cadres, so he said: "This time the army expansion was expanded, on the surface, two brigades were formed into a column, and one brigade was missing. In fact, each of our brigades had their own
There is no problem with the new recruits and the replenishment regiment. The key to expanding the army is to carry out large-scale training, and the combat effectiveness of the replenishment regiment and the replenishment regiment is to increase the combat effectiveness of the replenishment regiment. In other words, the gap in the expansion of the army in our main force is not large, so as long as the training is carried out
Just be good. The purpose of expanding the army is to facilitate unified command and reduce the level of command. Comrades must be clear about this."
Liu Yimin is talking about the truth. Not to mention the eight main brigades and six new brigades, the Southeast Shandong Detachment, which suffered heavy losses in the last anti-sweeping operation, also had new recruits and supplementary regiments, but their supplementary regiments,
The Corps has already supplemented the main regiment. The losses of other main regiments, including the First Brigade and the New Brigade, are negligible. They only need to equip the brigade-level command cadres and put the new regiments of the two brigades over and over again.
Of course, reorganization and expansion of the army is not such a simple matter. It involves technical support for military allocation and allocation issues such as firepower equipment, and the running-in issues of the troops, etc., which is a systematic project.
Liu Yimin continued: "What is really difficult to expand the army and reorganize is that all the military regions have been reorganized. The main forces are removed, which is equivalent to removing the pillars of the military region. How can we live the next life? The method is still our old method, and it is also effective.
The solution is that each main column must be willing to take out weapons and equipment, and send cadres to support the construction of the newly established military region. Our twelve columns, twelve military regions, one column will lead the other military region, and the military region troops cannot be pulled up in one day.
If you can't get on the battlefield or if you go on the battlefield, you will disperse as soon as you fight. I will revoke the number of the main column and turn them into local armed forces. The reason is very simple. If the military region's armed forces cannot be pulled up, they will disperse because the main force does not support them well! This is a responsibility to be held accountable
, Comrades, please remember it clearly!”
The cadres applauded with a "hurrying".
Dear book lovers: This chapter involves the reorganization of the troops, which is very troublesome and has been written for a long time.
