"Comrade Liu Hua, this is a right granted to you by the Party Central Committee, and we old guys also fully agree. So you can rest assured and don't have any hesitation. After the troops enter the Northeast, you can do whatever you think is okay.
There must be no hesitation. We believe in you and that’s why we give you such great rights. You know, our party has never had such a thing since its founding. However, in order for our army to open up a new situation in the three northeastern provinces, this
Things have happened to you. Therefore, I hope you will not disappoint all of us' expectations of you and fulfill the tasks assigned to you by the Party Central Committee..." Seeing the shocked Liu Hua in front of him, the chairman affirmed in an unquestionable tone.
said…
"Yes, Chairman, fellow chiefs, Liu Hua promises to complete the task and live up to the expectations and trust that the chiefs have placed in me. Please rest assured..." At this moment, facing the expectant look of the three-dimensional chief in front of him, Liu Hua said
There was no reason to refuse anymore. Without any hesitation, he answered in the affirmative.
"Okay, this is like our heroic commander Liu Hua. Be decisive when you should be decisive, without any hesitation..." Seeing Liu Hua whose face was instantly replaced by a look of determination, the chairman nodded appreciatively...
A few days later, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, who were waiting for orders from the central government in their rooms, were once again called to the small courtyard where the chairman was by the guards beside the chairman. Just like the first time they were invited by the chairman to finish a meal, Vice Zhou
The Chairman and the Commander-in-Chief were also sitting at the dinner table, waiting for their arrival...
"Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Luo Ronghuan. Before dinner, I will announce an order to you. Tomorrow morning, you can set off, return to the base area, and begin to take charge of various matters for the formation of the Northeast Field Army. And a month later, various central agencies will
The relocation process has begun. At the same time, after our consultation, we will not make any requests regarding the Northeast Field Army and the specific time of its attack in the Northeast. We will leave it all to you and Comrade Luo Ronghuan to make their own research and decisions. After the decision is made, it will be reported to the Central Committee for filing.
That’s all..." Before eating, the chairman first said...
"Thank you for your trust, chiefs. We will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and successfully complete this arduous task. Please rest assured..." The two men replied excitedly while being excited.
"Okay, the order has been read out, and all that's left is to eat. Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan, tonight's meal is considered a farewell banquet prepared by us three old guys. I hope that after today,
A few years later, when we gathered at the same table to eat again, the entire three northeastern provinces, as you said, were completely controlled by our army and became another solid base of our army..." the chairman continued.
At the same time, he raised the glass of wine in front of him...
"Come on, Enlai, boss, the three of us will first toast Comrades Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan with a glass of wine, and wish the Northeast Field Army led by these two comrades an immediate success. In the Northeast, we will open up a new anti-Japanese base area and open up the path of anti-Japanese resistance in the Northeast.
New situation..." The chairman raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile on his two partners...
During a dinner, perhaps because the Chairman and others were too happy, the five of them, except Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the Commander-in-Chief were all drunk. After arranging for the guards to remove the three leaders
After everyone was sent back to their rooms to rest, the two of them walked out of the small courtyard where the chairman was and walked back to their residence not far away...
"Commander, it seems that the chairman has high expectations for our operation this time. However, when I think about how we will face the Kwantung Army, the most powerful Japanese army after entering Northeast China, I wonder whether I can complete this operation.
The arduous task, I started to feel worried... I wonder, Commander, do you have any other ideas about our plan to march into the Northeast this time?" Feeling the cold wind at night, blowing constantly on his face. Political Commissar
Luo Ronghuan said with a worried look when he thought about the trust that the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief had in him at the dinner table.
"Political Commissar, do you still remember the guarantee I gave to all the leaders at the *** Bureau meeting? Although the Kwantung Army of the little devil has nearly one million troops, and its weapons and equipment exceed ours several times. However, I am confident that we will not
In three years, our Northeast Field Army will be able to compete head-to-head with the Kwantung Army... In addition, in four years at most, I will drive all the Japs out of the three northeastern provinces and liberate the entire Northeast.
Three provinces..." Regarding the political commissar's concerns, Liu Hua replied confidently.
"Commander, after hearing your words, I am no longer worried. You know, you have never broken your promise to me in the past two years. Commander, although I was appointed by the central government as the first political commissar of the Northeast Field Army,
I assure you here that I will absolutely support you unconditionally in terms of military command. At the same time, I will try my best to support you in all other aspects." Seeing the confident Liu Hua in front of him, he still looked worried just now.
The political commissar's expression was immediately replaced by confidence, and he assured the commander Liu Hua in front of him loudly...
"Political Commissar, I believe that as long as we unite sincerely, the Northeast Field Army will be able to grow and develop at its fastest speed in the next few years, drive the one million Kwantung Army out of the three eastern provinces, and liberate tens of millions of people in the three eastern provinces.
The common people are in dire straits. When the time comes, we will build the entire Northeast Field Army into the most powerful army in the entire China, no, the entire world..." For some reason, commander Liu Hua suddenly felt something in his heart.
With a very strong confidence, he answered proudly to the political commissar Luo Ronghuan in front of him.
"Commander, I believe in you. As long as we can unite sincerely, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome in the future... Commander, according to the wishes of several leaders, we can leave Yan'an tomorrow. You see, what should be the specific arrangements?
?After all, we have brought nearly ten thousand troops, and we must make a plan in advance." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded and asked...
"Political Commissar, the two of us do not have any hesitation. We must rush back to Taiyuan as soon as possible. After all, after the reorganization of a hundred thousand troops, plus the reorganization of the troops, various aftermath matters in various places in the base area need to be
The two of us nodded and dealt with it. However, in one month, various organs of the Party Central Committee will be transferred. And the entire Central Committee has only one guard regiment. Even then, the Party Central Committee will use this month to transfer the Central Guard
The regiment will be reorganized into the Central Guard Division, which will also require a large number of troops and transportation vehicles to assist various central agencies and departments in their transfers..." Liu Hua replied thoughtfully...
"Commander, what do you mean? I will not stay here to assist various central agencies in the transfer... I think it is possible, especially the guard brigade, all of which are infantry. If you follow us back to the base area, you will need to consume at least one soldier on the way.
More than a week. If we only carry the cavalry troops, the entire trip will be shortened to two or three days. Commander, I completely agree with you, leaving the main force behind to assist various central agencies in the transfer.
Look, which troops stayed and which troops returned to the base area with us..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and replied with a look of enlightenment...
"Okay, then we've settled on this. My idea is that the two of us will take the guard battalion directly under the cavalry brigade and rush back to Taiyuan City, the base headquarters. As for the remaining guard brigade, the main force of the cavalry brigade
, the air defense brigade and the transportation brigade of the Logistics Department all stayed and were handed over to the Party Central Committee for unified command, responsible for protecting and assisting the transfer of various departments of the Party Central Committee. After a month, they will return to the base area with the Party Central Committee and then resume reconstruction.
Political Commissar, what do you think?" With the consent of the Political Commissar, Liu Hua spoke out all his thoughts...
"I completely agree with your opinion. Early tomorrow morning, we will bid farewell to the Chairman and several other leaders, and by the way, transfer the command of several troops to the hands of the Party Central Committee. Then we will go into battle lightly and move as quickly as possible.
Speed up, return to the base area, and take charge of the reorganization of the troops..." Luo Ronghuan nodded and affirmatively stated his suggestion.
The next morning, after a night's rest, the chairman and others, after listening to the suggestions of Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, directly took over the command of the three troops without any hesitation. The chairman smiled at
In front of them, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, who were about to leave, said.
"Comrade Liu Hua and Comrade Luo Ronghuan hope that when we arrive in Taiyuan in a month, the elite Northeast Field Army will be able to stand in front of us and accept the review of the Party Central Committee. Do you have the confidence to complete this arduous task?
Within a month, all four field columns were reorganized..."
"Chairman, fellow chiefs, I, Liu Hua, am here to assure you that I will never disappoint everyone's expectations. Within one month, the entire Northeast Field Army will be reorganized. At the same time, together with the political commissar, I will lead the Northeast Field Army with 100,000 soldiers.
Commanders and fighters are in Taiyuan City to welcome the review of the heads of the Party Central Committee..." Liu Hua saluted and replied with a confident face...
"Very well, let's go. We old guys are just waiting for your good news... When the time comes, we must review your 100,000 Northeast Field Army..." The chairman nodded and said with a satisfied look on his face...
Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan and more than 300 people from the cavalry brigade guard battalion, riding war horses, quickly left Yan'an amidst the sound of horse hooves and ran towards the direction of Taiyuan City. Because of the assistance of the war horses, and the
There was no harassment from the Japanese army, and the entire march went extremely smoothly. At noon on the third day of departure, the group had already seen the tall walls of Taiyuan City... Since no specific news of their return was notified to the headquarters, at this time
At this moment, the entire Taiyuan City was very peaceful. No one knew about the return of the commander and political commissar at this moment...
After passing the inspection of the sentry at the city gate, a group of several hundred people, under the envious and shocked eyes of the sentry at the city gate, entered Taiyuan City, which they had left for more than half a month, and returned to the Taiyuan headquarters after a long absence...
Because they saw themselves, they looked excited and prepared to report to Chief of Staff Li Qing in the war room. After their return, the two people quietly entered the war room in the headquarters...
Entering the headquarters, several huge military maps hanging on the wall have been replaced by military maps of North China and military maps of the whole country, and several maps have been replaced by military maps of Northeast China captured at the Japanese Army Headquarters in Peiping.
...And Li Qing, the temporary supreme commander of the entire military region and chief of staff, was facing away from him, standing in front of a huge military map of Northeast China, thinking motionlessly. As for the various combat staff officers in the headquarters, they were busy.
Minding their own affairs, for a moment, no one noticed Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan who had entered the war room...
Seeing the orderly war room, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. However, at this moment, an exclamation reached the ears of the two of them: "Ah! Commander, political commissar, when did you come back?"
A communications staff officer who was about to leave the war room looked at Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan standing at the door. After a brief shock and surprise, he exclaimed with a look of surprise...
"What? The commander and the political commissar are back. Where are they?" For a moment, all the people in the war room stopped what they were doing almost at the same time. All eyes were focused on the door of the war room... And facing the
A map of the Northeast, Chief of Staff Li Qing, who was caught in Tusi's meditation, blurted out a question...
However, just when Chief of Staff Li Qing turned to look at the door of the headquarters, two familiar faces had already caught his eyes. In an instant, the questioning look on the Chief of Staff's face was immediately replaced by surprise: "
Commander, political commissar, when did you come back and why didn't you send a telegram so that we could greet you?"
"Haha, Lao Li, we have been partners for several years, do we still need to be so polite? How about, during the more than half a month since the political commissar and I left, did anything happen in the military region? However, I saw the headquarters operating
The room is in order, nothing major happened?" Liu Hua asked with a smile...
"Commander, nothing can escape your eyes. In the past half a month, nothing major happened in the military region. All troops are conducting their own training according to the original plan made before you left. However, half of
Months of training have passed, and the hands of the military directors of each unit seem to be itchy again. They are sending reports to the headquarters all day long, asking if there is a new combat plan?" Chief of Staff Li Qing shook his head and said with a smile on his face.
…
"These people just can't take any time off. It's been just over half a month, and my hands are already itching. However, this time the political commissar and I really brought back a very huge combat action plan. As long as
The fact that this plan is going well, in the next few years, we will have countless battles to fight... I hope these commanders will not dislike the fact that there are too many battles to fight..." Liu Hua had the same look on his face
He replied with a smile...
"Commander, what do you mean, the central government has approved our march into Northeast China?" Upon hearing Liu Hua's answer, Chief of Staff Li Qing's eyes lit up and he immediately reacted and asked excitedly...
"Let's go to the conference room next to us. Let the political commissar inform you first of the specific contents of the enlarged meeting of the Communist Party of China held in Yan'an and several important resolutions. As for the plan to send troops to Northeast China, we will work on it later.
Discuss." Liu Hua nodded and pointed to a small conference room next to the battle.
Entering the conference room, under the anxious look of Chief of Staff Li Qing, political commissar Luo Ronghuan began to tell bit by bit several important resolutions and orders from the Party Central Committee during the enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau over the past few days.
…
"Commander, congratulations. It's really unexpected that you are not only an alternate member of the Central Committee, but also an alternate member of the *** Bureau. It seems that several leaders of the Central Committee have great expectations for you?" After listening,
Chief of Staff Li Qing said with envy at the words of the political commissar. Because, as a superior, Liu Hua's position within the party has been established, which means that the *** division's position in the minds of several leaders of the Party Central Committee
Improved. As the chief of staff, I will also improve due to the improvement of my status in the army. Although I am not yet an alternate member of the Central Committee, I have the commander here as an alternate member of the *** Bureau. At the next Congress,
If you elect an alternate committee member yourself, you won’t have any doubts 0…..
"Lao Li, this decision not only represents the Party Central Committee's expectations and trust in our commander, but more importantly, it is a foreshadowing of the Central Committee's plan to enter the Northeast. Let me tell you, the enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau has ended
Later, with the consent of several heads of the *** Bureau, the Party Central Committee has decided to directly reorganize our *** Division into the Northeast Field Army. As for the establishment of the *** Division, it will continue to be retained and reorganized by the Party Central Committee...
"Political commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a smile...
"What? Form a Northeast Field Army? The Party Central Committee has agreed to our march into the Northeast? |" Li Qing couldn't help but exclaimed...
"Well, the Party Central Committee has fully agreed with the combat plan formulated by our staff department. First, we will form the Northeast Field Army based on the various units of the *** Division. After the reorganization of the troops is completed, we will find a suitable opportunity to directly march into the Northeast and fight in the three northeastern provinces.
, re-opened a new base area... Let me show you, this is the list of command personnel at all levels of the Northeast Field Army Headquarters researched and decided by the Party Central Committee. As for Lao Li, you are still the first chief of staff of our field army. I
The positions of commander and commander remain unchanged. In addition, in order to let the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Alliance feel the importance of the Party Central Committee to them, Comrade Yang Jingyu, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, is added as the first deputy commander of the field army, and Comrade Peng Zhen is added as the first deputy commander of the field army.
Director of the *** Department. After the establishment of our base area, Comrade Peng Zhen will be in charge of all work in the construction of the base area... At the same time, the entire Northeast Field Army includes five field columns, one special forces column, plus some directly affiliated troops, the total strength
It will reach more than 120,000 people..." As he spoke, the political commissar had already taken out a *** order and handed it to Chief of Staff Li Qing, who was in shock because of his words.
