At night, the conference room of the headquarters was brightly lit. Although the room was filled with smoke, everyone's face was full of excitement.
"Comrades, this is the first meeting since the establishment of our Jinyi base area. I would like to ask Comrade Guan Xiangying, the political commissar, to read out the central government's telegram on the establishment of the base area. Everyone welcomes..." Liu Hua took the lead in applauding.
"Bah bang bang..." As waves of applause sounded, Guan Xiangying slowly stood up, took out a telegram, and began to read.
As a burst of warm applause rang out, the political commissar slowly finished his work.
"Now, I would like to ask Chief of Staff Li Qing to read out the list of command personnel at all levels in the base area..." Seeing the political commissar sitting down, Liu Hua continued.
"Based on the discussion of the division party committee and the report to the Central Committee and the approval of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, it is now decided to divide the Jinyi base area into three areas, the First Army Division, with Zhangjiazhuang as the center, and the scope of activities includes Pingding County, Shouyang County, Xiyang County,
In the vast area of eastern Shanxi such as Meng County and Jingxing County, Commander Sun Xingbang and Political Commissar Zhao Dahe have jurisdiction over two main infantry regiments and several local troops. In addition, the First Army Division also has a very important task, which is to defend the
The important responsibilities of the base area headquarters.
The Second Military Division, with Commander Gao Yuan and Political Commissar Chen Dazhong, is centered on Yunzhong Mountain. Its scope of activities includes Yuanping County, Dingxiang County, Wutai County, Qi County and other vast areas in northern Shanxi. It has jurisdiction over two main regiments and several places.
force.
The Third Army Division, commander Wang Nanhu and political commissar Chen Revolutionary, is centered on Xiazhuang Township. Its scope of activities includes Fuping County, Lingshou County, Pingshan County, Xingtang County and other areas. It has two infantry regiments and several local troops.
.
This is the deployment of the three military divisions in the base area. Do comrades have any opinions?" Li Qing asked, looking at the excited people.
"No, no..." Of course not, such a good thing will certainly not happen. After hearing the chief of staff's question, everyone hurriedly said, fearing that the commander would remove their positions as military region commander or political commissar with a single word.
"Haha, political commissar and chief of staff, it seems that none of the commanders and political commissars sitting here have any objections, so why don't you just read the next order from the headquarters?" Looking at the excited people, Liu Hua also said with a smile.
, but there was a hint of a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, Commander..." The Chief of Staff then pulled out another folder and stood up.
"Comrades, our Jinyi base area is located on a traffic artery, which directly threatens the Japanese arteries from Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang. In addition, the Yuanping and Fuping areas can directly threaten Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, the important towns in North China, and the Pingjin area of the North China headquarters. Therefore,
, in the future, our independent division will definitely become a thorn in the side of the Japanese army. Faced with this situation, according to the discussion of our division party committee, our division must have a certain amount of mobile troops to move within the entire base area. It can either jump out of the base area
It can carry out external operations, and at the same time, it can hit enough troops in the shortest time to carry out annihilation operations inside the base area at any time. The commander gave this brigade a nice name, called the Independent Division Rapid Reaction Brigade. The commander himself serves as the commander.
The brigade commander and political commissar are of course our political commissars, and the chief of staff is me," the chief of staff said.
"Commander..." Sun Xingbang stood up and interrupted Li Qing.
"Well, is there something wrong?" Liu Hua nodded and said.
"Commander, political commissar, chief of staff, I would like to ask, is this mobile unit usually dispersed? Is it tasked with protecting the masses? Is it still a simple field unit, only participating in combat..." Seeing the encouraging eyes of Commander Liu Hua
, Sun Xingbang stood up and asked.
"Commander Sun, this is what I am going to talk about next. This unit will only be responsible for combat tasks in the future. It is the field force that Commander Sun just mentioned. Its size is about one brigade and three regiments. In normal times, this unit
The three regiments are stationed near Zhangjiazhuang for training. During wartime, they serve as mobile troops for the headquarters and obey the command of the headquarters. In other words, after the formation of this unit, it will be directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters and has nothing to do with everyone here.
." The chief of staff replied with a smile.
"Oh my god, there are so many, three regiments, where did so many troops come from..." After hearing what the chief of staff said, everyone exclaimed. Then, the whole conference room immediately became noisy.
"Everyone be quiet, let's listen to what the Chief of Staff has to say?" Seeing the noisy people, political commissar Guan Xiangying frowned and said.
"Comrades, the scale of the three regiments is indeed very large. As for where so many troops will come from, it depends on everyone here. Now I have an order from Abu Command: In order to strengthen the strength of the troops directly under the command, Commander
The ministry decided to allocate a regiment of 2,000 troops from each military region and equip it with all commanders and fighters. Among the 2,000 troops, the proportion of new recruits could not exceed one-third. Each regiment included a 60-meter mortar company and a heavy machine gun company.
All equipment must be prepared by the respective military regions by their own means, and all equipment is required to be Japanese-style equipment."
Before the chief of staff finished speaking, the lively conference room fell silent, and everyone was silenced by the chief of staff's order.
"Commander, you have taken away all the veterans. How can you train new recruits? Besides, you are going to leave 2,000 troops at once. How can we defend such a large military region... I object..."
Wang Nanhu, who suffered huge losses in front of the Japanese army, immediately stood up and objected.
"Yes, I object too. If two thousand troops are mobilized at once, how can I defend my military division..." Immediately, the three division commanders below stood up and objected.
"What are you arguing about? I'm telling you, it's useless to object. I asked you to be the commander of the division just to ask you to think of ways to recruit troops and expand my base. If anyone feels that he doesn't have troops, I will withdraw him now.
, there are so many people in the base area who can be commanders..." Liu Hua stood up and slammed the table and said.
Immediately, the commanders who had just turned red and opposed Liu Hua sat down in embarrassment with their heads lowered.
"The chief of staff forgot to tell you something just now?" Liu Hua said suddenly when he saw Jing Jing's important task.
"No way, Commander, what else?" There was another exclamation in the conference room.
"Everyone be quiet, this is a good thing for you. The headquarters has also considered everyone's difficulties, so it has given everyone enough time. We did not ask you to send troops here now, the headquarters decided to give you
In one month, no matter what method you use, 2,000 people must be pulled to Zhangjiazhuang in one month. Does anyone have any objections now?" Liu Hua glanced at the few yuan general under his hand and said dissatisfied.
.
Sure enough, after hearing that the commander could give him a month of relief, everyone's frowns finally relaxed, and even Wang Nanhu sat down embarrassedly.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, the matter has been settled. One month later, I will see three elite infantry regiments come to Zhangjiazhuang to report. Now I will arrange the tasks for the initial stage of the establishment of the base area." Liu Hua
concluded.
"Comrade Xiao Ping..."
"arrive..."
"The base area has just been established, and we have just recovered a large number of enemy-occupied areas in the second and third military divisions. In order to stabilize the people's sentiments in the base area, we urgently need to establish a complete local anti-Japanese democratic government to lead the people in the war. Therefore.
, during this period of time, your main focus is to establish and perfect the anti-Japanese democratic government in each village, district, county, and military division in the shortest possible time. Do you have confidence?" Liu Hua said.
"Commander, please rest assured, I will complete the mission successfully." Xiao Ping answered affirmatively.
Liu Hua nodded and looked at the Director of the Intelligence Division of the Security Department and the Director of the Arsenal who were sitting at the end of the conference room...
"Comrade Meng Zhongheng, Director of the Intelligence Department." Liu Hua shouted loudly.
"arrive."
"You need to establish a complete intelligence network throughout Shanxi and Hebei in the shortest possible time. It is required that within the two provinces, every move of the Japanese army must be reflected to the headquarters as soon as possible. Of course, establishing an intelligence system
You can get the required manpower and material resources directly from Director Wang of the Logistics Department. Similarly, I will give you a month to see if you are confident in completing it.
"have."
Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. "Director Qian Zhonghua of the Security Department, you must eliminate enemy agents in the entire base area in the shortest possible time, including Japanese agents and Kuomintang agents. Japanese agents will be killed without mercy. Kuomintang agents want to
Just deport him, and I’ll give you a month."
"Guaranteed to complete the task."
Comrade Liu Bo, director of the arsenal...
The entire meeting lasted for more than 4 hours. However, during these four hours, Liu Hua combined the construction experience of various base areas in history and arranged the recent work of his Jinyi base area in an orderly manner. He did not know what was going on.
Because of his careful deployment, when his Jinyi base area faced the upcoming winter sweeps, the soldiers and people in the base areas shared the same hatred and bravely resisted the enemies. This laid a solid foundation for future anti-mopping victories.
In this way, a month has passed. Due to the failure of the Japanese army in several consecutive attacks on the base area, and their need to accumulate strength to prepare for the winter sweeps, the soldiers in the base area experienced a rare calm. In this calm environment, the entire
The base area enjoyed a month of peaceful development. Within it, grassroots anti-Japanese democratic governments were established within the scope of the Eighth Route Army's activities. Even more gratifying were the intelligence system, security department, and arsenal in the mountains behind Zhangjiazhuang.
After a month of hard work, Meng Zhongheng was able to reach the Japanese base camps of Peking, Tianjin and other places through intelligence personnel, and established a complete counter-intelligence system. Qian Zhonghua, who served as the security department, in less than a month,
A total of no less than 200 spies were captured in the entire base area, and the intelligence networks of one Japanese army and one of the Kuomintang were uncovered. It can be said that one month later, the entire base area was showing a prosperous scene.
