Two days later, when Liu Hua walked into the General Secretary's office again, he was greeted by, except for the Commander-in-Chief, almost all the Politburo members remaining in the Central Committee in Taiyuan City, headed by the Chairman, all stood neatly.
At the door, waiting for your arrival.
"Report to the heads, Liu Hua has been ordered to report..." Standing in front of the chairman and other heads, Liu Hua, with an excited look on his face, quickly saluted, and then reported loudly.
"Commander-in-Chief, our Comrade Liu Hua is also here. Now, on behalf of the Communist Party and the Political Bureau, you will announce to Comrade Liu Hua the final decision on the establishment of the Central Kwantung East China Field Army and the commanders at all levels. Take a look.
Our Comrade Liu Hua, are you satisfied with the central government's decision..." The chairman nodded with satisfaction and spoke to the commander-in-chief beside him.
"Okay, Chairman..." As he spoke, the commander-in-chief had already taken out a military document that had been drafted and said.
"Comrade Liu Hua, upon the recommendation of the General Secretary and reported to the Political Bureau for discussion and decision, the entire East China Field Army is temporarily under the jurisdiction of five combat corps, one directly under the guard unit, one directly under the artillery unit, and one directly under the logistics unit... The establishment is set as follows:
The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth, a total of five combat corps. After the formation of the army, the combat strength of the entire field army, except for the 100,000 troops drawn from the Northeast Field Army, all remaining combat personnel are yours.
After opening the service in East China, we will develop and solve it on our own. Of course, in the future combat process, in order to meet the needs of combat, the entire field army can expand one or two combat corps in a timely manner..."
"After the reorganization of the army is completed, you will serve as the commander-in-chief, Comrade Wang Zhen will serve as the deputy commander, Comrade ***, according to your suggestion, will serve as the political commissar of the field army, and Comrade Zuo Quan will serve as the chief of staff. At the same time, the former Dongye Guard Division will be appointed
Division Commander Bruce Lee was transferred to the post of commander of the East China Field Army’s Guard Column. Liu Xiaogang, the former commander of the Northeast Field Army’s Special Operations Division, was transferred to the post of commander of the East China Field Army’s Special Operations Division. Former Commander Chen Guangrong of the Heavy Artillery Division of the Northeast Field Army was transferred to the commander of the East China Field Army Artillery Column. Former 129th Division Brigade
Commander Chen Geng was transferred to commander and political commissar of the Fifth Corps of the East China Field Army. Former deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army..."
"Thank you chiefs. With your support, coupled with the help of so many outstanding generals from various units of our party, I believe that our East China Field Army will be able to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time and complete the tasks assigned by the Party Central Committee.
Our strategic mission is to seize Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the shortest possible time and cut off the strategic supplies of the Japanese troops stationed in China..." Looking at the list in his hand, a long line of people was drawn from various armies. In the history of our army,
They all have a list of generals with illustrious military exploits, combat experience, and rich command experience. Liu Hua answered with confidence.
"Okay, as long as you have confidence, the Central Committee has confidence in the East China Field Army. Comrade Liu Hua, we won't say more if there is more. I wish you and the newly established East China Field Army a successful start... Boss, if nothing happens,
, in the near future, another field army will be formed under the leadership of our party." After the order was read out, the chairman walked up to Liu Hua with a smile on his face and encouraged him.
"Thank you, Chairman, for your trust. I will definitely live up to your trust and complete the task..." Liu Hua replied affirmatively.
With the orders from the central government and Liu Hua's own eagerness to build an army, in the end, he only stayed in Taiyuan City for one day, and under the protection of the guard cavalry regiment, he rushed to Zaozhuang County, where the troops were gathered.
Zaozhuang County, since the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army entered Shandong and began to establish a base area, has become an activity area for various guerrillas. As the Eighth Route Army units successively reorganized and reorganized, coupled with the continuous local counterattacks launched by the Eighth Route Army units, the entire Zaozhuang County
, has become the most solid base of the Eighth Route Army a year ago.
However, Zaozhuang County, as the hinterland of the base, has not always been the headquarters of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. However, early this morning, the entire Zaozhuang County was placed under complete martial law by a local garrison camp of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the city.
Was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
"Battal Commander, is something big going to happen today? You know, since we stationed in Zaozhuang, this is the first time such a large-scale martial law has been imposed on the entire Zaozhuang..." On the top of the city, several people were watching.
Hundreds of soldiers, streets under complete martial law. The company commander standing next to the battalion commander asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not particularly clear about the specific situation... It's just that early this morning, the regiment headquarters stationed in Linxi conveyed to us the order of martial law in the city. As for the specific situation, I'm not particularly clear. However,
The regiment correspondent told us that today, the regiment commander will personally accompany the superior commander to Zaozhuang, where we are stationed, and ask us to be on guard and ensure the safety of the superior commander..." Regarding the company commander's question, the battalion commander's face said,
He also showed a hint of confusion and answered.
However, what he didn't know was that a superior commander did visit today. But, more importantly, the entire Zhaozhuang had been selected by this commander as the first training location for the East China Field Army.
"Superior commander, could it be that our commander is coming to Zaozhuang where we are stationed? That's great. Since I joined the army, apart from the regimental commander, I have never seen the commander..." After hearing the battalion commander's answer, the company commander
He said with an excited face.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful about leaking secrets. As for who the superior leader is, I don't know very well. However, the person who can have the leader personally accompany him must not be a small person. Don't be too meddlesome. We will do whatever the superiors tell us to do. Don't
Forgot our confidentiality measures..." The battalion commander glared at the commander-in-chief in front of him with dissatisfaction, and then said.
"Yes, battalion commander..." the company commander replied.
Then, a pair of eyes were immediately shrouded in a look of expectation. He raised his head and looked at the road not far away, hoping that the leader he was looking forward to would appear in his sight sooner.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. Just as all the battalion and company commanders stationed in Zaozhuang stood at the gate of the city, eagerly waiting for the arrival of their superior leaders. At the end of the road, a cloud of gray smoke suddenly rose up, almost
It can be said that it blocked the sky and the sun. Immediately afterwards, a huge roar reached everyone's ears. It was obvious that this was the smoke and dust generated by a large number of cavalry during a long-distance attack...
"Battal Commander, the commander is here, a lot of cavalry..."
"Sure enough, it is the superior leader who actually uses an entire regiment of cavalry as a guard. He must be the commander. No, even the commander cannot have a regiment of cavalry as a guard. You know, our entire military region will use all cavalry
After all the efforts have been made, there is not even a single regiment... Listen carefully, pass on the order, and ask all the soldiers to cheer up and welcome the arrival of the leader..." Putting down the telescope in his hand, the battalion commander ordered with an excited look on his face.
….
"Yes, battalion commander..." Several company commanders rushed down the city wall with excitement on their faces.
In the blink of an eye, a regiment of cavalry troops appeared at the city gate. Xiao Shan, the commander of the garrison battalion standing at the city gate, also greeted him with excitement: "Report to the commander of the regiment, Xiao Shan, the commander of the Zaozhuang garrison battalion, as ordered.
Come and report and ask for instructions from the leader..."
"Xiao Shan, the protagonist here today is not me, I am just a foil. Come, let me introduce to you, the chief next to me is the anti-Japanese hero you have been waiting for..." pointing to the side.
Liu Hua, who had just been appointed commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, said with a smile on his face.
"Anti-Japanese hero..." Looking at the young man in front of him who was obviously younger than himself, battalion commander Xiao Shan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, he is the anti-Japanese hero. This is Commander Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army who was just appointed by ***. Haven't you always been looking forward to meeting Mr. Liu? Today, your wish has come true. Moreover,
I also want to tell you good news. From today on, your garrison camp will be under General Liu’s subordinates..." the regiment leader introduced with a smile on his face.
"Ah...Commander Liu..."
For a moment, Xiao Shan, who was in shock, couldn't help but open his mouth. A pair of eyes stared at Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua in front of him, dumbfounded. Because he couldn't believe that the young man in front of him who was younger than himself was Let.
The Japanese army was frightened by the news and Commander-in-Chief Liu, who was an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and whose position was many times higher than his own commander.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Shan. From now on, you are a member of the East China Field Army. I hope you can lead all the commanders and fighters of the garrison battalion to make new achievements in the East China Field Army..." Liu Huayi looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Shan in front of him.
He stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, and then spoke.
"Ah... Chief, hello, chief. Reporting to the chief, Xiao Shan, the commander of the Zaozhuang garrison battalion, has been ordered to report and ask for instructions from the chief..." Battalion Commander Xiao Shan, who had reacted from the shock, hurriedly experienced it and said nervously.
"Comrade Xiaoshan, don't be nervous. I came here today without any instructions. However, there are some things that I still need your help as the commander of the garrison battalion. In this way, this is a proof just issued by your commander. From now on, you
He is now a member of the East China Field Army. In this way, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief, I will give you the first order: I will temporarily requisition your headquarters to serve as the headquarters of the East China Field Army. At the same time, you will control the entire Zaozhuang terrain.
You should be very familiar with it. I order you to mark out a camp for me around the county town within one day that can accommodate at least 100,000 people... What do you think? Is there any problem..." Liu Hua ordered.
"Yes, chief, the Zaozhuang garrison battalion promises to complete the mission... I will take you to the battalion headquarters right away..." Xiao Shan assured loudly.
A few hours later, the original Zaozhuang County Garrison Battalion Headquarters was changed into the current East China Field Army Headquarters. At the same time, a huge radio station was quickly set up to prepare for contact. It had just been assigned to
Various combat units of the East China Field Army.
Walking into the war room, after several days of continuous attacks, Liu Hua, who looked exhausted, had no time to take any rest. He faced the communications staff officer in front of him and decisively ordered: "Consultant Wang, immediately contact the Northeast Field Army Headquarters through the radio.
Political Commissar Luo ordered all troops transferred south to the East China Field Army to abandon all heavy weapons, carry only light weapons and sufficient ammunition, and advance towards Zaozhuang County in a forced march..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
In Fengtian City, in the huge conference room of the Northeast Field Army Headquarters, nearly a hundred commanders above the regiment level who are about to be transferred from the Northeast Field Army are gathering together to hold their last meeting in the Northeast Field Army.
After greeting every commander and soldier who was about to leave the Northeast Field Army, political commissar Luo Ronghuan returned to his position. Then, he said:
"Comrades, among all of you sitting here, many of you have followed me and the Commander-in-Chief, step by step, from weak to strong, until now. Of course, there are also some comrades who have just been transferred to the Northeast Field Army.
However, no matter when you join the Northeast Field Army, I believe that everyone has very deep feelings for the Northeast Field Army."
"Here, I dare not make too many guarantees. However, I can tell you with certainty that no matter what time, the Northeast Field Army is everyone's best mother-in-law. Of course, I also wish everyone to follow the commander-in-chief and succeed in the new era.
In your position, you can achieve better results. Because your commander-in-chief is still the invincible Comrade Liu Hua of our party..."
"Pa bang bang..." Amidst bursts of warm applause, the entire meeting came to an end.
Of course, with the departure of each commander, Commander Wang Zhen and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, who were about to be transferred from the headquarters, remained.
"Chief of Staff, Commander Wang. We have been partners for such a long time, and suddenly we are separated like this. To be honest, I feel a little bit sad..." Looking at the two people in front of me, I have been partnered with him for more than a year.
Time's Wang Zhen, Zuo Quan and political commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a look of reluctance.
"Political Commissar, to be honest, I am reluctant to leave the Northeast Field Army. This is a thriving and increasingly powerful force. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the Northeast Field Army is ours, following the Commander-in-Chief, from
From weak to strong, we create it step by step. Each of his works has the blood and tears of all of us." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said.
"Political Commissar, I, Wang Zhen, am also very reluctant to leave you. However, don't worry, as long as I have the opportunity, I, Wang Zhen, will definitely come out of the border often to see you..." Wang Zhen said.
"Well, with your words, I feel much better...Comrade Zuo Quan, Comrade Wang Zhen, no matter what, even if you two are transferred from the Northeast Field Army, you will still be with the commander-in-chief. So, I believe that you will follow
Commander-in-Chief, he will definitely make full use of his talents and achieve better results..." Luo Ronghuan nodded and continued.
"Comrade Zuo Quan and Comrade Wang Zhen. After being transferred from the Northeast Field Army in accordance with the order of ***, Comrade Zuo Quan continued to serve as the Chief of Staff of the East China Field Army, while Comrade Wang Zhen was promoted to the position of deputy commander of the East China Field Army. And
According to the telegram just sent by the Commander-in-Chief, as the troops move south, you, Zuo Quan, will serve as the temporary commander-in-chief, and Wang Zhen will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief. Therefore, I hope you can safely transport these hundreds of thousands of troops and nearly a hundred senior commanders.
Take it to Zaozhuang County and meet the Commander-in-Chief, comrade, bring my greetings and blessings to the Commander-in-Chief..."
"Yes, political commissar, I promise to complete the task..." The two men replied affirmatively.
"I believe in the abilities of the two of you. In addition, the commander-in-chief also ordered that the one hundred thousand troops entering the Pass and fighting south should abandon all heavy weapons except for necessary infantry weapons and mortars, and arrive at the rendezvous within a month.
The location is Zaozhuang County, Shandong Province. The commander-in-chief is waiting for your arrival in Zaozhuang." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan gave the final order.
At the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Jinxian County, Shanxi Province, the division commander Liu Bocheng and the political commissar *** also stood at the gate of Chenmen, making the final separation.
"Division Commander, this time the central government has transferred you to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, which shows the central government's trust in you. I hope you can make full use of your military commanding talents in your new position. However, unfortunately, from now on
From now on, I will never have the chance to partner with you..." The young *** said with a look of reluctance as he held Liu Bocheng's hands.
Looking at his old partner in front of him who has undergone obvious changes in both military literacy and political level after several years of training in the military career, Liu Bocheng was also very reluctant to give up. However, in the face of the central government's transfer order, as a
As a veteran party member, all he can do is obey orders.
More importantly, this time I was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Field Army, and my partner *** was promoted to the Political Commissar of the East China Field Army. Almost both of them took a big step forward in their military careers and reached a higher level.
The stage. Thinking of this, Mr. Liu said.
"Comrade Xiaoping, this time you have been promoted to the East China Field Army to partner with Comrade Liu Hua. This also shows the central government's trust in you and Comrade Liu Hua's regard for you. Here, I also wish you the best in your new position.
Achieve better results. I am in the Northeast, waiting for your good news..."
"Mr. Liu, then I thank you for your blessing. I also wish you will lead the Northeast Field Army to liberate the entire Northeast as soon as possible, and then go south to participate in the battle. By then, maybe the two of us can continue to fight on the battlefield.
Cooperation... Mr. Liu, time is running out. Commander-in-Chief Liu is in Zaozhuang and has sent me several telegrams. If there are too many, I will not say more. I hope that when we meet next time, the little devil has been
Drive out of China..." After a solemn military salute, *** said.
