Chapter 398 Shanxi Military Region

"Okay, Commander Liu, Chief of Staff Li. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe my eyes. You actually seized so many weapons and ammunition in Yan Xishan's hands so easily... I now

I'm really convinced by your ***, I really can't believe these data are real..." After reading the list in his hand, although Li Fuchun has been managing the economy and logistics at the central government, he has read countless data lists.

But he was still shocked by the numbers in front of him, and he said with excitement.

"Minister Li, you have just arrived at our *** Division and you don't know the specific situation. If you wait a long time and take a look at the logistics warehouse of our *** Division, you will feel that these weapons and ammunition do not count.

What's wrong?" Seeing the shocked Li Fuchun, Chief of Staff Li Qing smiled and explained.

"Chief of Staff Li, Commander Liu, what do you mean..." Li Fuchun frowned and asked with confusion on his face.

"Minister Li, when we return to Taiyuan City, you will know what the Chief of Staff means when we return to Taiyuan City. Comrade Wang Daoguang, our Logistics Department Chief. Chief of Staff, since the problem of the Jinsui Army has been solved now, we should also go back

We ordered Shen Qinghua to stay with a brigade to guard the southern Shanxi area until the reinforcements arrived. The remaining troops returned to Taiyuan with us. The entire Shanxi Province has been occupied by us for such a long time.

It should be sorted out..." Liu Hua explained with a smile and ordered to Chief of Staff Li Qing in front of him.

"Yes, division commander..." In this way, the two brigades directly under the column and nearly 10,000 new soldiers slowly drove towards Taiyuan City with a large number of weapons and ammunition. As each unit returned to their respective stations,

As the division commander, Liu Hua also began to slowly get in touch with various things in the base area. However, the biggest headache facing Liu Hua at the moment was the staffing of local cadres in the newly liberated Shanxi Province.

At this time, because the *** Division occupied various places very quickly, coupled with the vast area of ​​Shanxi Province, it far exceeded the scope of the *** Division's original control. Therefore, the local cadres reserved by the *** Division

It is very insufficient. Therefore, in many places, underground party leaders from various places temporarily serve as local cadres. However, such concurrent positions cannot last long after all.

However, just when Liu Hua was frowning and thinking about solutions, a telegram from the central government promptly helped Liu Hua and solved a series of problems Liu Hua faced.

"Division commander, political commissar, Minister Li, central telegram. Is it about the establishment of a military region?" Just as several people frowned and discussed how to allocate hundreds of local cadres led by Minister Li Fuchun, Chief of Staff Li Qing,

Taking a telegram, he rushed into the headquarters in a hurry.

"What? Establish a military region. Haha, this telegram from the Military Commission came just in time. We are worrying about this matter now. I didn't expect that the Military Commission would solve it for me so quickly. Hurry up, Chief of Staff, hurry up and get the telegram

Read it to us..." After hearing what the chief of staff said, and seeing Li Qing who was already smiling, Liu Hua ordered with an equally excited face.

"Yes, Division Commander, Political Commissar, Minister Li. The central government called. In order to better develop Shanxi Province, we will completely turn the entire Shanxi Province into the rear base area of ​​our Eighth Route Army. After *** discussions, it was decided to establish the Shanxi Military Region. At the same time, in order to better develop Shanxi Province,

To give full play to the strength of the Shanxi Military Region, the Shanxi Military Region is under the dual direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. At the same time, the Military Commission has studied and decided that the newly established Shanxi Military Region will have Comrade Liu Hua as Commander of the Military Region, Comrade Luo Ronghuan as Political Commissar, and Comrade Li Qing as Chief of Staff. Chairman of the Military Region Government

Comrade Li Fuchun, as for other departments, they are directly composed of the former *** Division Headquarters..." Chief of Staff Li Qing finished reading the contents of the rectification telegram with excitement on his face.

"Bah bang bang..." Just as Li Qing finished speaking, a burst of warm applause erupted in the entire headquarters. Whether it was Liu Hua, who had just been appointed as the commander of the military region, or everyone in the headquarters who was busy

Staff officers at all levels stopped what they were doing at the same time and clapped with excitement.

"Commander, congratulations. Starting today, our Shanxi Military Region has been officially established..." As the applause slowly subsided, political commissar Luo Ronghuan faced his partner Liu Hua, who was still stunned and did not react from the shock.

, said with a smile.

"Haha, political commissar, I'm congratulated, I'm congratulated. However, this telegram has reduced a lot of our burden. Chairman Li, now all the appointment of local cadres is left to you, haha...

." Liu Hua reacted from the shock and immediately said with a smile. At the same time, he said to Li Fuchun who was also shocked.

"Ah...Commander, political commissar, you can't do this..." Seeing Liu Hua with a sly smile on his face, Li Fuchun was surprised and shook his head speechlessly.

"Comrades, I think everyone should have heard clearly the content of the telegram just now. From now on, our headquarters will officially become the Shanxi Military Region Headquarters. This also tells us that the burden on our shoulders is also

It’s getting heavier and heavier. Because tens of millions of people in the entire Shanxi Province are looking at us. Therefore, I hope that in the future fighting life, we will work harder and never let down the trust of the Party Central Committee in us...

." After a few jokes, Liu Hua stood in front of everyone and said loudly.

"Pa bang bang..." There was another burst of warm applause in response to Liu Hua's speech...

An hour later, the newly appointed military region commander Liu Hua, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, chief of staff Li Qing, and government chairman Li Fuchun, under Liu Hua's orders, gathered in the small conference room next to the command room. After ordering the guards

After standing firm at the door of the conference room and not allowing anyone to approach, several people began to hold the first meeting since the establishment of the military region.

"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, and Chairman Li. Although the entire Shanxi Province is basically occupied by our *** division, there are still a large number of armed bandits and Japanese and puppet intelligence personnel throughout Shanxi Province. Therefore, there are still a large number of armed bandits and Japanese and puppet intelligence personnel.

, I believe that as soon as we announce the establishment of the Shanxi Military Region, it will definitely cause violent reactions from all parties. Therefore, I am anxious to bring everyone to a meeting now, just to solve this problem." As the meeting room continued,

The door was closed. Liu Hua said.

"Well, the public sentiment of the people in the entire Shanxi Province is very unstable now. Most of the people have just escaped from the rule of the Japanese army. What's more important is that in the large area just occupied, there are countless spy organizations lurking by the Japanese army.

. Therefore, I also agree with the commander. This matter must be treated with caution." After listening to Liu Hua's words, the political commissar also recovered from the excitement just now, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Commander, political commissar, I have just arrived in Shanxi. It can be said that I have basically no understanding of things in Shanxi Province. Therefore, I can't offer any good opinions. You can express your opinions first! Let's

I want to hear it and discuss it in detail," Li Fuchun said.

"Yes, Commander, you raised this issue. I believe you must have a solution! You can tell me your opinion first, and we will discuss it in detail." As they spoke, the eyes of the three people were focused on the Commander at the same time.

Member Liu Hua.

"Okay, then let me talk about my thoughts first: What I mean is to divide the entire Shanxi Province into four military divisions and carry out specific management of the divisions. Sun Xingbang, the original division one, is responsible for the southern Shanxi. The plateau of the second division

Wang Nanhu is responsible for northern Shanxi. The third division Wang Nanhu is responsible for eastern Shanxi and the southwestern mountainous area of ​​​​Hebei Province. As for western Shanxi, the central government will send one person from the left-behind army in northern Shaanxi to serve as the division commander." Liu Hua did not take any care and said what was in his heart.

idea.

"Well, for now, this kind of zoning management is the best way to solve our shortage of management talents. The current garrison in western Shanxi is originally the left-behind regiment in northern Shaanxi. It is perfect for them to be stationed on the spot for management.

." The political commissar carefully thought about Liu Hua's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"I also agree with the commander. It's just that in eastern Shanxi and northern Shanxi, our army has to face a large number of Japanese troops and their possible counterattack. Therefore, I think the focus of our defense should be on these two directions.

The defense forces in both political and political directions should be appropriately strengthened." Chief of Staff Li Qing also nodded in agreement and put forward his own suggestions from a military perspective.

"What the Chief of Staff said is very correct. In addition to the original nine infantry regiments, the three military divisions in each county are required to establish a garrison regiment to take on local defense tasks. As for the headquarters in Taiyuan

For the city, we need to establish a Taiyuan garrison brigade. This time, we have just recruited so many new soldiers, coupled with a large number of militiamen and reserves of weapons and ammunition, it is not impossible to establish dozens or hundreds of garrison regiments.

As for the two key defense directions mentioned by the Chief of Staff, we still have a direct column in hand, which is enough to cope with the attack of a Japanese division." Liu Hua nodded affirmatively and said.

In the end, after everyone's discussion, the 1st brigade of the column was directly under the command. After withdrawing to Taiyuan, it was responsible for defending against Japanese troops in the direction of Shijiazhuang. The 2nd brigade was stationed in the Niangziguan area to guard against the Japanese troops moving south from Beiping. The 3rd brigade and the guard brigade served as the mobile force of the headquarters and were ready to attack at any time.

Reinforcements are being sent from various places...

As a result, less than half a day after the entire meeting was held, each army and military division received a secret message jointly sent by Liu Hua and political commissar Luo Ronghuan. Each military division immediately began to mobilize troops and generals to send their own troops.

The troops move to the predetermined defense area.

As a result, the entire Shanxi Province began large-scale military mobilization after the establishment of the first base area. Until this time, the headquarters still did not make any announcement about the establishment of the Shanxi Military Region by the Communist Party of China. With Liu

In Hua's words, before Shanxi Province is stabilized, this explosive news must never be disclosed to the outside world.

Finally, as time went by, with the intensive cooperation of the Intelligence Division and the Security Division of the headquarters, the Japanese military intelligence agencies lurking in Shanxi Province began to surface one after another, and were finally dealt a crushing blow by the Security Division.

.For a time, the Japanese military intelligence personnel in the entire Shanxi Province almost disappeared and withdrew from people's sight.

At the same time, the mobilization of troops from the three military divisions also began to be slowly completed. Niangzi Pass, Pingxing Pass and other dangerous places were in the hands of each army division, and the entire defense circle of Shanxi Province

, began to be slowly improved. Unless the Japanese army mobilized troops of regiment size or above to attack, it would not pose any harm to the defensive circle built by the Japanese division.

"Commander, the commanders of the three military divisions have just sent telegrams one after another. All the dangerous places on the edge of the base area have been occupied by our army, and defense fortifications have begun to be built. In addition, in many places, because of the original defense fortifications of the Shanxi-Sui Army

, Therefore, after the troops were stationed, they began to be put into use. In just one week, our defense circle will be completely arranged... At the same time, the garrison regiments in each county will have a large number of new soldiers and militia as a basis.

, the shelves have been set up..." As telegrams arrived from the three military divisions, Chief of Staff Li Qing took several telegrams and came to Liu Hua and political commissar Luo Ronghuan to report.

"Yes! Very good. Chairman Li, how is the local government going?" Liu Hua nodded and looked at the government chairman Li Fuchun beside him.

"Commander, political commissar, don't worry. The local cadres I brought this time are all cadres who have held various positions in the original Central Soviet Area. They are very familiar with the work of local government. Now the entire

In Shanxi Province, except for Shanxi, the county governments of the remaining nearly 100 counties have been established. Now each county government is developing into each township. I think it won't be long before the entire Shanxi Province will be included in our anti-Japanese war

Under the ** government..." Regarding the work of his local government, Li Fuchun also reported with a smile on his face.

"Okay, in that case. We will hold a meeting in a week to announce the establishment of the Shanxi Military Region to everyone. Political Commissar, what do you think?" Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.

"I agree..." Just as Liu Hua finished speaking, the remaining three people in the conference room agreed.

So, a week later, outside Taiyuan City, in the original Japanese military camp, the *** Division held a huge military region establishment meeting. The news of the establishment of the Shanxi Provincial Military Region was announced to everyone, as well as the various divisional units.

The appointment of the chief... At the same time, this amazing news was also conveyed to every corner of the country and the world through radio. It caused quite a sensation in the entire world...

"Nang Xipi, Shanxi Provincial Military Region. What does this *** want to do? Does it take the government seriously? Who gave them all the strength to set up a military region? No, the government can no longer ignore the name of the country.

Asked, this time we must let *** know that our National Government is the highest government in China..." As soon as he got the news, Chiang Kai-shek's face was full of anger. He immediately wanted to order ***

The troops entered Shanxi and drove the *** division out of the entire Shanxi Province.

However, this idea is just a thought, because at this time, the *** is no longer like two years ago, with less than 50,000 bandits armed with guns and ammunition, but a total force

A large warlord with hundreds of thousands of people and well-equipped equipment. In terms of overall strength, it is the largest force besides the Central Army of the Communist Party of China.

In the end, Chiang Kai-shek, who was full of anger, slowly calmed down the anger in his heart under the persuasion of his confidants. Faced with the massive and powerful Japanese divisions at this time, and the Japanese army's possible attack on the Japanese

Another attack on the Japanese defense line. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek could only suppress the anger in his heart and send a few stern accountability telegrams to the Eighth Route Army *** divisions far away in Shanxi, but nothing happened after that.

At the same time, other warlords in the country who were as incredible as Chiang Kai-shek found that the entire Shanxi Province had been completely included in the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army, and even Yan Xishan, who was known as the King of Shanxi, did not react at all.

A new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the *** division was born.

Of course, among everyone's reactions, there is still a side that is beneficial to Japan. That is, the Eighth Route Army's successive victories behind the Japanese army, and the Japanese's successive defeats. This made those European and American countries who were watching the battle.

Seeing the birth of a new force, they all sent drinks to the Party Central Committee in Yan'an and expressed a certain amount of goodwill.

Especially the powerful Soviet Union, in order to drag more Japanese troops to the Chinese battlefield. After seeing the powerful combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China, it immediately changed its attitude towards the Communist Party and sent a delegation to go there.

Yan'an, discuss matters regarding military assistance to the Eighth Route Army...

In short, the continuous changes in various countries in the world have not only superficially recognized the status of the Communist Eighth Route Army in China. More importantly, in various aspects, they have slowly increased the influence of the Communist Eighth Route Army.

Various aid supplies also invisibly increased the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army troops.

Of course, of all the reactions, the most violent one can be said to be that of Japan. Because the entire Shanxi Province was taken away from the Japanese army by the Eighth Route Army, the domestic energy source of Japan could be said to be cut off by the Eighth Route Army.

Faced with this piece of news that almost disgraced the Japanese army, it caused quite a shock in both the military headquarters in various places and in Japan.
