The Qianlu Fuqing Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade was a local guerrilla force operating in the eastern Hebei region under tight Japanese and puppet rule. The struggle was very cruel. Commander Liu wanted to redress the guerrillas and moved the Lufuqing Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade.
Captain Gao He asked excitedly: "Chief, are we also a regular army?"
Liu Yimin patted Gao He on the shoulder: "We were guerrillas in the past, but from now on you are regular troops. Jidong will be completely liberated, and there will be no need to fight guerrillas anymore. From now on, your mission will change and become the defense of the new generation."
People’s political power and order of production and life. Of course it must become a regular army!”
Gao He immediately stood at attention: "Yes, Chief!"
After answering, Gao He asked eagerly: "Chief, what about our current mission?"
Liu Yimin's answer was more concise: "Eat, then go to the Luanhe River, try to collect ships, and transport troops to the mouth of the Luanhe River!"
Gao He replied, "I promise to complete the mission," and after saluting, he led the team towards the Luanhe River, forgetting even about eating.
After inspecting the battlefield, Liu Yimin immediately ordered the troops to seize the time to eat, sleep, and prepare to continue marching.
Due to the great victory on the Luanhe River, the Pingjin area opened up and the situation was excellent. Liu Yimin immediately adjusted his deployment and ordered Zhao Shan, political commissar of the Third Corps and commander of the Eighth Army, to lead the Eighth Army to capture Tianjin. Two of the divisions went south along the Luanhe River to collect as many ships as possible.
Speed up the march, board a ship at the mouth of the Luanhe River, and capture Tanggu. One division will attack Tianjin by land, and attack Tianjin from two sides; order Gao Yuan, commander of the First Corps and commander of the First Army, to lead the First Army directly to Peiping, and other troops of the First Corps.
Under the command of Political Commissar Hong Chaoyuan, Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng, who were on standby at Shanhaiguan, were ordered to lead the special operations formation to carry out airborne operations on Peiping tomorrow night, destroy the Japanese command system, and cooperate with the First Army to capture Peiping. The main forces of the First Corps, Second Corps, and Third Corps were divided towards
Advance between Beijing and Tianjin.
After adjusting the deployment, Liu Yimin said to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong: "Two brothers, after the liberation of the Pingjin area, we have to be temporarily separated for a while. The central government instructed that our army captured Peiping. After Tianjin, it was immediately announced that Luo Political Commissar would be appointed as Peiping.
Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor. Gao Yuan will be appointed as Peking Security Commander; Director Cai will be appointed as Tianjin Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor, and Zhao Shan will be Tianjin Security Commander. Two brothers, the chairman has said that the Central Committee will appoint the party and government leaders of Peking and Tianjin as soon as possible.
, so that you can return to the team quickly. For the time being, we have to rely on your prestige to stabilize the situation in the Ping-Tianjin area and resume production and supply. Of course, I see what the central government wants. It would be better if you two can stay in office."
Luo Ronghuan knew about this in advance, but Cai Zhong didn't know about it, and Liu Yimin didn't communicate with him. After hearing Liu Yimin's words, Cai Zhong was reluctant at first, rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Yimin's face for a long time, and said: "You want to drive me away?"
Lao Cai is leaving?"
Liu Yimin ignored him. He took out a cigarette and threw it to him. He took out another cigarette and lit it, and said slowly: "Tianjin is the maritime gateway of North China, and its industrial and commercial foundation is comparable to Shanghai. We once occupied Tianjin and took Tianjin
Evacuated. The situation is different now. The war in North China will end soon, and the focus of the entire party's work will turn to the city, to the construction and development of North China. We have been working together for a long time, Liu, Luo and Cai.
To be honest, if Tianjin is left to be managed by someone with a dull mind and insufficient understanding of our economic development policies, I’m really worried. Maybe it will make Tianjin fall behind, regress, and go far away.
It cannot be compared with Shanghai. When you go to Tianjin, you must first resume work in factories. The problem of insufficient equipment is easy to deal with. The industrial equipment we originally evacuated from Tianjin and hidden in the Yimeng Mountains can be transported back, or we can ask for it from the northeast.
Ask the Logistics Command of Outer Mongolia. This is one. Second, Tianjin's financial industry must be restored. It must also be built into the financial center of North China. Especially the Tianjin Stock Exchange. It cannot be closed or stopped. Not only must it be
We need to further develop normal transactions. Study the U.S. securities market more and learn from their practices. Thirdly, Tanggu Port must be expanded and developed to be able to dock giant ships of 10,000 tons and 100,000 tons. After the North China War, Little Japan
They have become grasshoppers after the fall. They have to consider whether to surrender or to resist to the end. But no matter whether to surrender or to resist to the end, the Pacific route will be opened. In the future, Vladivostok, Dalian Port, Tanggu Port, and Qingdao Port will become
The international trade port will become an international trade port for us to carry out international trade. If you do these three things well, Cai Zhong will definitely leave your name in history."
After he finished speaking, the cigarette butt burned his hands. Liu Yimin threw away the cigarette butt, added another one, smoked slowly, and waited for Cai Zhong's answer.
Cai Zhong also took on another cigarette, smoked for a while, and then said: "Commander, you are a member of the Central Committee, the commander of Dongye, and the secretary of the party committee. Logically speaking, the tasks you give me are orders. I always
Cai didn't say much. However, I think that aside from the level of comrades-in-arms, even if it is a personal relationship, we have been like brothers for so many years. You know my strengths and weaknesses. I am a person who, to be honest, goes to school.
I joined the Red Army when I was a child and have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years. I have developed the habit of living and working in the army. When we were in the Soviet area, we divided the land among the local tyrants. It was only after following you on the Long March that we learned that we must
To protect industry and commerce, I learned how to build a base after arriving in Xi'an. I thought carefully about it. I could go to Tianjin to stabilize the situation, resume production, and restore market supply. It would be no problem. However, as you just said, we need to build a financial center.
, I can’t handle international trade. This matter must be handled by knowledgeable comrades. Let me make it clear to you that I, Lao Cai, the director of the Dongye Political Department, cannot be exempted. I went to Tianjin to perform a task and there must be a time limit.
The longest time is 3 months. I won’t be able to do it after a long time! I’m still willing to be with you and our troops.”
Liu Yimin was dumbfounded when he heard this. This Lao Cai is simply out of his mind. In such a big city of Tianjin, the municipal party committee secretary and mayor, not to mention those officials from the Beiyang government and the Kuomintang, are the jobs that many comrades in our party aspire to.
Positions. If left to future generations, they would all be members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee! I really don’t know whether Cai Zhong is really ignorant or really unwilling to leave the army.
Liu Yimin said patiently: "Lao Cai, listen to me, war is temporary, and peaceful development is permanent. We fight for national liberation and independence, to build a new China, and for the peaceful development of a new China. Now I
The army is about to completely liberate the Pingjin area. This is the result of our struggle for so many years, and it is also what we have dreamed of. If you go to Tianjin, you will go to Tianjin to lead. It doesn't matter what you don't understand, you can learn and do it at the same time. You are originally
I have been the mayor of Jinan, and I have tried urban management and have some experience. This is more experience than many comrades. To be honest, I suggested it to the central government, but it is definitely out of public interest. Do you think
I think if Tianjin wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of Northeast China, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong. Needless to say, Shaanxi is our old base. As for Shanxi, we captured Taiyuan. Among Shanxi cadres and people, I
The army has a certain reputation. Shandong is our old base area, and Northeast China was liberated by us. As for Hebei and southern Hebei, it is the base area we opened up, and our army also swept through central Hebei. In other words, these places are related to our army.
Origin. After the liberation of Tianjin, not to mention development, the problem of feeding so many urban residents must first be solved. This is no small matter! This year, Henan suffered a severe drought, and Shandong also experienced a severe drought. However, Shandong has promoted the two-crop farming method.
, the food problem is not that big. If we want to satisfy the food problem in the Pingjin area, we have to transfer food from the northeast, from Shandong, from central Hebei, and from southern Hebei. When everyone has no food, we cannot rely on orders alone to adjust food.
There must be human kindness. Political Commissar Luo and you are both the heads of my Dongye family. No one will refuse if you open your mouth. It is for this reason that I recommend to the Central Committee that the Political Commissar and you will take charge of the work in Peiping and Tianjin respectively.
.I do nothing, just so that the citizens of Peking and Tianjin can have food. Of course, if I really have selfish motives, it is true. We are all comrades who share life and death. The war of resistance is about to end, I think
You have to find a good position for the guys. Peking and Tianjin are both first-class places. They can allow you to show off your talents and fully demonstrate your ambition to save the country and the people. Don’t say anything else and get ready to take office."
Liu Yimin had said everything that was in his heart, what else could Cai Zhong say? But he still insisted that he would only work for three months, not for one more day, and that he would return to Dongye to be the director of his political department.
Liu Yimin didn't expect that things would be like this. If he had known it would happen, he wouldn't have recommended Cai Zhong to the central government. He would have just replaced him. Now if he reported the replacement to the central government, wouldn't that be nonsense?
Turning around, Liu Yimin winked at Luo Ronghuan, meaning to ask Luo Ronghuan to do some work for Cai Zhong.
Luo Ronghuan adjusted his glasses and said slowly: "Actually, I also want to tell you. I still remember what you said. Liu and Luo will command the army to fight all the way to Tokyo, Japan. This is also mine.
desire!"
This was so unexpected that Liu Yimin didn't even know what to say.
Luo Ronghuan was easier to talk to than Cai Zhong. Besides, this was approved by the Central Committee. He didn't want to embarrass Liu Yimin, so he added: "First, let's get the work done. Let's make an agreement first. I will remove the cadres who enter Peiping from the army."
You can’t feel bad if you take part of it away!”
Cai Zhong immediately picked up: "I also want to transfer cadres!"
Because they did not expect to be able to successfully eliminate the heavy Japanese army group along the Luanhe River, the central government has not sent cadres to the Pingjin area. At present, it can only transfer some cadres from Dongye first.
Liu Yimin immediately expressed his position and said: "The central government has not removed you from your posts as political commissar and director of the Political Department of Dongye. You are still the leader of Dongye. You can urgently deal with the transfer of cadres now and make it clear to all the corps and armies. No price can be negotiated, no matter what.
Whoever is drawn must be supported and released.”
When he said this, Liu Yimin paused and added: "It is better to mobilize more old Red Army and old Eighth Route cadres in the army who are older and have been injured, and arrange them to work in the Pingjin area.
In the future, when the war ends, our army will face a large number of cadres and soldiers demobilized and transferred to other jobs. These cadres are considered to have transferred to other jobs in advance. However, I would like to remind you that cadres have to work from all over the world. Only some cadres can be transferred from our army, and we have to rely on Peking.
Comrades in the underground party, relying on comrades in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Taihang, central Hebei, and southern Hebei, must also report to the Central Committee and request cadres to be sent from Shaanxi. All aspects must be taken care of."
Luo Ronghuan laughed immediately: "We haven't left yet, why have you become a mother-in-law? Don't worry, you don't need to be nagging!"
Liu Yimin nodded, but couldn't help but explain: "Senior leaders must have a broad mind, be able to tolerate people and things, be fair, not panic when encountering problems, and be calm."
To be honest, because the situation developed too fast and the central government had not had time to consider whether to move to Peking, the cadres in the Pingjin area had to be mainly deployed from Dongye. If the central government had considered moving to Peking in advance, even if Liu Yimin recommended it, the central government
We don’t necessarily agree that Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong will be the main people in charge of Beiping and Tianjin respectively. Then we must first consider ensuring that Dongye’s leadership and command strength cannot be weakened. The current situation is that after so many years of construction, the Shaanxi rear area has a certain foundation. Generally speaking,
Under the circumstances, the central government will not consider whether to move to Peiping for the time being. But when North China is completely liberated, the central government may soon move here. Peiping is located in the center of the Northeast and North China, which is convenient for leadership and management. Moreover, Peiping has always been in modern times
It is the political, cultural and economic center of China, and its move to Peking is of great significance.
After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan became worried about Liu Yimin and suggested: "Should you report it to the central government and ask Tan Zheng to come to Dongye to take up the political work and reduce your pressure?"
The political commissar and director of the political department have both left, and Liu Yimin is really busy. But Tan Zheng's personality does not get along with Liu Yimin's. No matter how big-minded he is, he does not want Tan Zheng to stare at him every day and keep looking at him. Tan Zheng's political party principle
Too strong, too pure, Liu Yimin is too far behind others in some things, and his face turns red.
Just listen to Liu Yimin say: "Let's talk about it. If the central government finds a suitable candidate to replace you in the future, the political commissar or Director Cai will come back. If you can't come back, if it doesn't work, let Zhang Hongtao and Zhao Shan do more."
Zhao Shan wants to be the garrison commander of Tianjin, just like the garrison commander of Peking on the plateau, but that is temporary. The real garrison commander of Peiping and Tianjin garrison commander have to be shouldered by their deputies, and they still have to lead the army to fight!
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong stopped talking and were busy dispatching cadres. At this time, Liu Yimin stopped them and deliberated for a long time before saying: "The political commissar, Lao Cai, Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman will no longer accompany the army.
Action was taken. Tang Xingying stayed in Peiping to work, assisting the political commissar in Beiping's cultural, educational, health and publicity work. Zhao Xiaoman stayed in Tianjin to work, assisting Director Cai in Tianjin's cultural, educational, health and publicity work. Zhao Xiaoman served as the head of the Dongye Cultural and Art Troupe.
The position will be taken over by the political commissar of the Art Troupe."
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong remained silent after hearing this.
