Liuzhen, brigade headquarters
"Comrades, I have been informed by the headquarters that considering that the current establishment of the Independent Brigade is too chaotic, in order to adapt to the needs of the new struggle situation, the Zijinshan Base Area, Anping Base Area, and Zhongtiao Mountain Base Area under the jurisdiction of the Independent Brigade have been merged into the Hedongnan Military Region;
Chu Xiong serves as the commander, and Comrade Wang Junjie serves as the political commissar;
Zhao Sihu is appointed deputy commander
Liu Xingguo serves as deputy political commissar
Zhong Guoliang is appointed chief of staff
Huang An is appointed director of the Political Department (former political commissar of the 882nd Regiment)
Yang Wei is appointed director of the Joint Logistics Department
It has jurisdiction over the Yuci Military Division, Anping Military Division, Langtoushan Military Division, and Panwangshan Military Division;
Li Qing was appointed as the commander of the Yuci Military Division, and Li Wannian was appointed as the political commissar;
Chen Hao was appointed as the commander of the Anping Military Division, and Gao Wancheng was appointed as the political commissar;
Zhang Yu is appointed as the commander of the Langtoushan Military Division, and Xiao Zhan is appointed as the political commissar (Yanzhou lower faction);
Luo Weimin is appointed as the commander of the Panwangshan Military Division, and Lin Xiaofeng is appointed as the political commissar."
The Yuci Military Division has 4 detachments (regiments) and 1 artillery regiment, with a total strength of about 20,000, mainly developed from the main force of the original 881 regiment;
The Anping Military Division has 4 infantry regiments, 1 artillery regiment, and a cavalry regiment, which are mainly composed of the original 882nd Regiment, the 1st Preliminary Regiment, and the 2nd Preliminary Regiment;
The area under its jurisdiction includes the Liuzhen Base Area, parts of Anping, and Zezhou. It happens to be the junction connecting Zhongtiao Mountain and Yuci Military Division. It is the core jurisdiction of the military region. It has a total force of about 20,000 people, almost all of whom are veterans for more than two years. ;
The Military Region Headquarters is stationed in Liuzhen. The troops directly under its jurisdiction include the headquarters and guard regiment, teaching detachment (brigade level), field hospital, military factory, Tiger Special Operations Detachment (brigade level), etc., totaling approximately 12,000 people.
The Langtoushan Military Division (78th Army) consists of 3 divisions, 6 brigades and 18 regiments (New 5th Division, New 6th Division, New 7th Division), with approximately 60,000 field troops;
The Panwangshan Military Division (New 93rd Army) consists of 2 divisions (New 8th Division and New 9th Division), 4 brigades and 12 regiments, with a total strength of approximately 42,000.
The military region has about 150,000 main troops and about 120,000 local troops and militia, which are directly under the headquarters. The establishment of the independent brigade was given to the 81st Division..."
As Chu Xiong finished speaking, the audience burst into endless applause, and the bottleneck restricting the development of the independent brigade troops was broken.
Although the 5th Division of the Eighth Route Army was not established under the special regulations, Yanzhou separated the independent brigade system according to the needs of the struggle and established a military region directly under the headquarters. At the same time, it only recognized this military region as a brigade directly under the headquarters.
The establishment of a military region can be large or small, and it is very flexible. You can organize as many military divisions as you want;
Similarly, a military division can have five regiments, or ten regiments, and a more imaginative organization such as columns can be formed at higher levels.
"Comrades, a new leadership team has been established, and we must promptly adjust the troops in accordance with the headquarters' reorganization plan. From now on, the military region troops will still be divided into three levels: the main force, the garrison force, and the militia.
The main force is only responsible for fighting, while the garrison troops and militia led by the military division agencies are responsible for the recruitment and training of new recruits, logistical support, and the defense of base areas. They must fully mobilize and arm the masses;
Local troops and militia are responsible for production in peacetime and defense of homeland in wartime..."
After the meeting, the spirit of the meeting was quickly conveyed to various base areas, and the establishment of military divisions was carried out in full swing. Naturally, such a big movement could not escape the eyes of the Tsing Yi Society. The relevant information was soon handed over to Zhong Cai. Naturally, Thunderbolt Chief angry:
"Nang Xipi, what do they want to do?
Yunong, check it out for me!
We must obtain evidence at all costs that Zhao Sihu and Luo Weimin colluded with the Eighth Route Army. They are undermining the united front. We must notify them nationwide that they are undermining the united front——"
"Cough! Cough!"
Mr. Bray coughed twice and suppressed the words that reached his mouth. With a gentle wave of his hand, Yu Nong disappeared into the darkness again.
"Bray, there are no outsiders here, tell me!"
Zhongcai gradually calmed down, but he still wanted to listen to Mr. Bray's opinion.
"Zhongcai, are you planning to completely break up with Yanzhou?"
The editor was silent. The news from his wife was that the Goshawk Kingdom had completely broken with the Evil Alliance. In Europa, the Goshawk had blatantly supported the Black Bear and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets;
Economic sanctions have also been imposed on the Japanese, and the Goshawk Kingdom will soon join in. No fool will negotiate peace with the Japanese at this time;
Not only must peace talks be interrupted, but we must also hold high the banner of resistance to the end, only in this way can we gain enough political capital.
Mr. Bray had a keen understanding of Zhongcai's thoughts. Seeing Zhongcai's silence, he continued:
"Zhongtiaoshan 78th Army and New 93rd Army have 100,000 Central Army elites. Regardless of whether they have defected to the Eighth Route Army as rumored, we should not lift the lid at this critical moment;
If it is a rumor, it will chill the hearts of generals Zhao and Luo, forcing them to move closer to the Eighth Route Army.
If it is true, then the Eighth Route Army has 100,000 more elites in Hedong. Together with their original 4 divisions and the New Fourth Army, they already have the strength to compete with the government;
Once they break up, the main force of the Central Army is far away in central China and is beyond reach. There is nothing they can do against them militarily. Politically, it will let Ying Palace see the strength of the Eighth Route Army. If they bet on both sides, the only one who will suffer is the government. "
Mr. Bray stopped when he said this, because he knew that there were some things he had to say. Playing politics was Chongcai's strong point, and it was not his turn to teach him.
Tailor's face became gloomy and uncertain, and Mr. Bray knew that he was making a difficult decision in his heart;
In the final analysis, politics is about mutual compromise, and he believes that the kind will make the choice that is most beneficial to the government.
After a long time, Zhong Cao's face began to regain its calmness, and Mr. Bray knew that he had made a decision.
"Blay, send a message to Yanzhou, reiterate the government's order, the Eighth Route Army must not develop to the southeast or east of the river, otherwise it will bear the responsibility of destroying the united front!
In addition, the national government commended the meritorious soldiers who achieved a major victory in the Zhongtiao Mountain Battle. The original 78th Army was upgraded to the 78th Group Army. Zhao Sihu was appointed as the lieutenant general commander of the group army and was given the rank of general;
The original New 93rd Army was upgraded to the 93rd Group Army, with Luo Weimin as the group army's lieutenant general commander;
The original independent brigade of the 81st Division was upgraded to an independent division, and Chu Xiong was promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the independent division.
The promotion of other meritorious personnel shall be drafted by each ministry and reported to the national government for record;
Mr. Bray, what do you think? "
Sure enough, Bray couldn't help but praise:
"Zhong Cai was wise. He first explicitly ordered the Eighth Route Army not to violate the previous agreement between the two parties, and then sent people to collect evidence in private. When the time was right, the government would have sufficient reason to take action against the Eighth Route Army;
In this way, they can't get rid of the label of undermining the united front, and the national government has occupied the moral high ground!
Zhao Sihu and Luo Weimin were promoted to commander-in-chief of the group army. Now their level is the same as that of the 18th Army. Even if they really collude with the Eighth Route Army, their status and mentality will change now;
What the government lost was just one organization, and it didn't cost a single shot. It created a natural gap for Zhao Sihu and Luo Weimin to defect to the Eighth Route Army!
How would the Eighth Route Army arrange for them if they were selected at this level?
Even a teacher is too low, what do other people think? "
Zhongcai smiled knowingly and said to himself:
"Those who know me are mine!"
"Yunong, do you understand? Collect evidence quietly, don't alert others, there will be a time to settle the accounts;
In addition, let people spread some gossip about Chuxiong being unfairly treated by Yanzhou..."
