Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

As the saying goes, the deputy chief of staff cut the mess quickly and did not give Zhou Weihan and others time to go back for discussion. He asked for an on-site meeting to finalize the formation of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Column and the merger of military region agencies. The relevant personnel appointments and staffing were compiled into materials. Report to headquarters immediately.

Zhou Weihan lowered his head and glanced at Tan Lin, only to see Tan Lin lowering his head and playing with the pen in his hand, seemingly unaware of Zhou Weihan's actions.

The deputy chief of staff saw the reactions of everyone present, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp, then stood up and said: "I was just thinking about the meeting, and I forgot to eat breakfast. My stomach is full of water. I can't stand it." Stay here, you can discuss it here and wait for me to come back!"

As soon as the deputy chief of staff left, the originally noisy conference room suddenly became silent. Guys, you look at me and I look at you. No one spoke to break the weird atmosphere.

In the end, Tan Lin spoke up and said: "In order to win the war of resistance, we must unite as one. If we have big differences internally, how can we unite the forces of all walks of life outside. The basis of all this is that the party's unified leadership must be implemented!"

Wherever there are people, there are factions, and where there are people, there are hills. At present, there are two big hills in the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region, Hebei, Shandong and Yu, and Shandong Province.

Although we have been familiar with each other for more than half a year, how can we really get along with each other? Tan Lin, deputy chief of staff, understands what he meant. It is not convenient for you to talk with me here, so you can have a good talk after I leave. What can you say? Whatever, whatever ends today.

Therefore, Tan Lin emphasized one point, that is, unified leadership. No matter what time it is, the party directs everything.

Because with the expansion of the base area, it will inevitably bring about the expansion of the affiliated forces. In order to better build the base area and fight against the enemy, the superiors clearly required that the party's unified leadership must be implemented. This is also the reason why the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Branch was established.

Yanzhou proposed that the representative organs of the Party Central Committee (regional central bureaus and sub-bureaus) and party committees at all levels (district party committees, prefectural committees) should be the highest leadership organs in each region, and provide unified leadership over the party, government, military and civilian work.

For this reason, after the meeting of the Northern Bureau, the official document issued clearly stipulated that the army must unconditionally implement the decisions and instructions of the superior and party committees at the same level, and the main force is no exception. The military leadership is a department of the party committee at the same level. At the same time, it was also pointed out that "everything is subject to war" is the highest principle of unified leadership.

According to the instructions, the Taihang Branch quickly made a decision to abolish or merge certain leadership agencies, and established four district party committees including Taibei, Tainan, Taiyue, and Jinan.

Each district party committee, prefectural committee, county committee, and district committee concurrently serve as political commissars or instructors of the military at the same level (military region, military division, county brigade, and district squadron).

Taking the Tainan base area as an example, in the new personnel appointments, Tunliu, Libei, and Lubei were included in the Tainan base area, and the Kongjie Independent Regiment and Liu Tianming 22nd Regiment were included in the Tainan Military Region.

Comrade Zhao Gang serves as a senior party official and political commissar of Tainan District, He Yicai serves as Communist Party member, Xing Zhiguo serves as deputy Communist Party member and chief of staff, and Li Tongzhang, the new director of the Political Department, is appointed.

The Tainan District Government was upgraded to the Tainan Administrative Office, and Wang Ying was appointed as the director of the Administrative Office. The above five people constituted the district party committee members.

The Tainan First Division has jurisdiction over the Independent Regiment, the 22nd Regiment, the First Division Basic Regiment, the Shexian Basic Regiment, and the 279th Regiment that is being formed. The affiliated units will be reorganized and given unified designations.

Liu Tianming was appointed as a district committee member, and Xiang Ying was appointed as political commissar and local senior official.

The Tainan Second Division has jurisdiction over the 280th, 281st, Supplementary Regiment, Pingshun Basic Regiment, and Cixi Basic Regiment, which will also be reorganized and given unified designations.

Xu Dali was appointed as the Communist Party member of the Second Division. The former political commissar Zhang Hao was transferred to the deputy director of the Political Department of the military region. Guan Fachang, a senior local official, also served as the political commissar.

The military region is directly under the artillery regiment, the cavalry regiment and the 39th regiment.

Of course, Zhou Weihan was not aware of the above changes in the Tainan base area. However, although Tan Lin only said a few words, he reminded Zhou Weihan and others.

Only internal stability can overcome external struggles. A few people don't have to fight to the death for their own interests. Zhou Weihan just doesn't want to be restrained.

Zhou Weihan took the initiative to stand up and spread a circle of cigarettes for everyone, and immediately expressed his attitude, and the result was quickly discussed.

First of all, the military region organization consists of five departments: headquarters, political department, logistics department, health department, and anti-Japanese university branch.

The headquarters consists of the Staff Office, Operations Office, Communications Office, Management Office, Confidential Office, and Intelligence Office.

The Political Department is under the jurisdiction of the Organization Department, Propaganda Department, Security Department, Enemy Industry Department, United Front Department, and Human Armed Forces Department.

The Logistics Department is under the jurisdiction of the Factory Management Department, the Military Supplies Department, and the Food Department.

The organization structure of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Column also had several departments, and the personnel list was quickly finalized. Most of the personnel of the former Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region were in the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Column, and most of the personnel of the former Western Shandong Military Region were in the military region agencies.

Zhao Bingzhang, chief of staff of the column, Cheng Qiwu, deputy chief of staff and chief of the staff division, Luo Benzhong, director of the political department, Zhu Guoming, deputy director, Zhang Faming, director of the munitions department, etc. The combat force consists of 13 brigades, 14 brigades, 15 brigades, 16 brigades, guard regiments, cavalry regiments, artillery regiments, automobile battalions, etc.

13旅旅长兼政委荆大刚，下辖1、2、3团，14旅旅长武勤、政委王林，下辖4、5、6团，15旅旅长兼政委丁伟，下辖7、8、9团，16旅旅长兼政委李云龙，下辖10、11、12团。

The guard regiment was adapted from the assault regiment, with regiment commander Dong Jiang, cavalry regiment commander Sun Desheng, political commissar Qin Fuwen, and artillery regiment commander Shen Yulin.

The regiment-level organization has 2300 combat troops under its jurisdiction, and the personnel establishment of squads, platoons, companies, and battalions is clearly divided.

Infantry squad: 12 people

Including two three-person rifle groups, one three-person machine gun group, and one two-person 50 mortar group (50 1mm mortar, 50 rounds of 30mm Japanese grenades, 3 pistols, pistol bullets 60 rounds)

Machine gun group: machine gun shooter, machine gun auxiliary shooter, machine gun ammunition hand.

Rifle group: Each person has one rifle, 1 rounds of standard rifle ammunition, and 50 grenades.

Squad leaders and team leaders are individually equipped with pistols.

Infantry Platoon: 40 men

It has three infantry squads, plus a platoon leader, deputy platoon leader, instructor, and a communications officer.

Infantry Company: 150 men

three infantry platoons

两个3人迫击炮组（60毫米轻迫击炮1门，60毫米迫击炮炮弹30发，手枪3具，手枪子弹60发）

A cooking class of 12 people

Company headquarters: Chief and deputy company commanders, chief and deputy instructors, one cultural instructor, three communications officers, and four health workers.

Infantry Battalion: 540 men

Three infantry companies of 150 men

Battalion Headquarters: 14 people in total: chief and deputy battalion commander, chief and deputy instructors, combat staff, instructors, and guards

There is a 12-person communications class, a 12-person cooking class, a 12-person health team, and a 40-person security platoon directly under the battalion headquarters.

Infantry regiment: 2300 men

Three infantry battalions (540 men)

An 82 mortar company is equipped with six 82 mortars and has a total of 108 people.

Three heavy machine gun companies, equipped with 27 Maxim heavy machine guns, 27 pack horses, and a total of 324 people.

There are 108 people in a baggage company and 108 people in a regiment security company, plus the cooking class, communications class, health team, and several regiment cadres.

The above mentioned are combat troops. In addition, there are certain auxiliary soldiers. Zhou Weihan prefers that each regiment should be added with a supplementary brigade of about 500 people, which can be drawn from local armed forces.

The supplementary brigade is specifically responsible for assisting combat troops in digging fortifications, transporting supplies, and replenishing troops at critical moments.

The above content is only on paper, and it is still difficult to implement it. For example, Jing Dagang's 13th Brigade currently only has the original 15st Regiment of the Zhinan Military Division and the 279st Independent Regiment, and Ding Wei's 29th Brigade only has the original th Regiment and st Independent Regiment. regiment.

Only Wu Qin's 14th Brigade has the Third Regiment, the Jinan Jigan Regiment, and the Third Independent Regiment, while Li Yunlong's 16th Brigade has the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the 36th Regiment.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness, it is best to directly bring up the basic regiments of the general division, but this will lead to an empty local defense force. After all, the base area is the foundation for development.

What Zhou Weihan means is that the original miscellaneous numbers set up by each military division and the main force for the purpose of expansion will be streamlined, and personnel will be enriched into combat units, and every one can be fully staffed. (End of chapter)
