Age of Rebirth

390 Chapter Five: Personnel Transfer

After the reorganization, the Northeast Advancement Headquarters of the independent division had eight infantry brigades and one cavalry mixed brigade with a strength of more than 14. Later, Tang Qiuli formed three artillery brigades for the department according to the needs of the actual combat situation. , an armored brigade, and an air defense brigade.

In fact, after the reorganization, the positions and ranks of officers at all levels of the Northeast Army have been greatly reduced. Let’s take the original commander as an example. Much less than before. In the original Northeast Army, the commander did not lead 4 to [-] troops.

Regarding this situation, Tang Qiuli was going to do some comforting and explaining work. Unexpectedly, these senior generals who were demoted, not only did not complain, but happily took up their posts. In their words, everything is false. Marshal Tang took us to fight the devils, this is real, why care about those stupid things that are afraid of being broken.

It's okay if you want to be promoted?Take out the real chapter on the battlefield, and see whose brigade kills the most little devils, and the first one to kill back to his hometown in the Northeast, everyone will listen to him and respect him as the boss!I will never go back on my word, the commander-in-chief is here, to be a witness. [

Looking at these former army commanders and division commanders, there was no complaint, no one complained that they were demoted, and they were all gearing up, ready to fight the little devil, and vent the anger that had been pent up in their hearts for six years.

Tang Qiuli felt sincerely relieved that once these Northeast men found their own direction in life, they would devote themselves to the battlefield of killing the enemy with a hundredfold enthusiasm. On the battlefield, regain the self-esteem and honor of soldiers.

Some of the other officers of the Northeast Army were transferred to various departments of the Independent Division, and some were transferred to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Garrison Command and the Dingbian Mobile Corps Headquarters. Some officers were transferred from the Independent Division to form the Northeast Advance Command with the former Northeast Army officers. various functional departments of the Ministry.

Zhao Yuhe, the former Chief of Staff of the Independent Division, was promoted to the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Advance Command. His original position was held by Yu Guanghan, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Independent Division. The commander, Major General Liu Tiehan, was coming from North China to take over the troops. Marshal Tang's long-time partner, the brigade commanders of the Northeast Advance Command, are full of expectations.

To be able to partner with the commander-in-chief for many years, to become a life-and-death old buddy, there is still a lot of ability, especially if you are a fellow from the Northeast, your own troops, crap to Guanli, and when they started fighting with the Red Army, they were already He Dashuai fought with the Kwantung Army for many years. It is our blessing that such a person can see us in his eyes.

Tang Qiuli arranged for Liu Tiehan to be the commander because of various considerations. The former generals of the Northeast Army at all levels were all veterans for many years. Ordinary people really couldn't control them, and he couldn't personally command this army.

With Liu Tiehan's qualifications and achievements, he is qualified for this position, although there are still many of his former superiors.

Before Liu Tiehan arrived, Tang Qiuli transferred a large number of officers and experienced veterans from the Dingbian garrison area to go deep into the brigades and conduct strict training for the troops in accordance with the training methods of independent divisions. A large amount of Japanese-style equipment was brought in and the brigades were refitted. This time, the brigade commanders of the Northeast Advancement Headquarters were overjoyed. Little Japanese people are not good, but their things are not bad.

After changing the brigades, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. The soldiers held their breath and dreamed of going back to their hometown in Northeast China. From Marshal Tang, they saw the hope they had been looking forward to for many years. The training enthusiasm of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high , The situation where the officers used to rush to train with whips can no longer be seen.

The soldiers also saw the gap between the soldiers who served as instructors from the independent division. They were all soldiers with a sense of honor and self-esteem. The soldiers consciously increased the amount of training, and their enthusiasm for training was unprecedentedly high. Officers at all levels, Also experienced unprecedented changes.

The logistics supply of the army also refers to the standards of the independent division. The required funds are all allocated by the logistics department of the independent division. The appearance of the army is changing day by day. After all, the current Northeast Army is already Tang Qiuli's own army , What is lacking is not the actual combat experience with the Japanese army. Spending money on them is not painful at all.

After Liu Tiehan took office, Tang Qiuli handed over the troops to him and reported to the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government to promote Liu Tiehan to the rank of Lieutenant General.

Then, he began to work on the reorganization of the Seventeenth Route Army. The Seventeenth Route Army was different from the Northeast Army, and its situation was quite special.

In fact, this is a local army in Shaanxi. All the soldiers are from Shaanxi. They have no experience of fighting outside the province. The rest are also good and bad, young and old.

Referring to the practice of the Northeast Army, Tang Qiuli first streamlined the troops and cleared out the bad elements. Those who are old will be restored on the spot. Those who are willing to go to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone will be arranged in a unified way. Those who are not willing to go and want to go home, each Dayang was given 300 yuan as a settling fee, which was enough to make them a small rich man in their hometown.

With the restoration of the clearing belt, a total of more than 6000 people were streamlined. The remaining strong soldiers formed the Shaanxi Provincial Garrison Command. Yuan Jinghao, the former commander of the Independent Fourth Brigade of the Independent Division, served as the commander. , Han Guangqi, the former chief of staff of the Seventeenth Route Army, remained as the chief of staff of the Shaanxi Provincial Garrison Command, under the jurisdiction of three Shaanxi local garrison brigades, each with 6000 or [-] soldiers.

The commander of the first brigade of the Shaanxi Local Police is Wang Yiwu, the former commander of the 49th Brigade of the Seventeenth Route Army. The commander of the second brigade of the Shaanxi Local Police is Zhao Shoushan, the former commander of the 51st Brigade of the Seventeenth Route Army. The brigade commander was Geng Zhijie, former commander of the [-]th Route Army Supplementary Brigade.

The main task of this department is to maintain social security and local stability in various places in Shaanxi, and to eliminate bandits. This is also the original intention of Tang Qiuli to form the Shaanxi Garrison Command.

The Yellow River Defense Command was established. The commander was Sun Zhenbang, the former commander of the Independent Fifth Brigade of the Independent Division. His position was taken over by Chu Xianzeng, the deputy brigade commander. Wang Jun, commander of the First Security Brigade, served as [

There are four river defense brigades under its jurisdiction, each with 500 soldiers. The first river defense brigade is headed by Li Zhenfeng, the former head of the first independent first brigade of the Independent Division, and the second river defense brigade is headed by the former Zhang Hongyuan, commander of the Second Brigade of the Shaanxi Garrison of the Seventeenth Route Army, served as the commander.

The commander of the Third Brigade of River Defense is Meng Qingpeng, the former head of the Third Regiment of the Second Independent Brigade of the Independent Division, and the commander of the Fourth River Defense Brigade is Liu Ziqian, the former head of the Third Regiment of the Special Agent of the Xi'an Appeasement Administration. The River Defense Command has a total strength of [-] More than a thousand people.

The main task of the Ministry is to defend the Yellow River from the south of Hukou in Shaanxi to Tongguan Port, and from Tongguan Port to Sanmenxia in Henan Province. Here, it forms a cross-defense area with the troops under the Sanmenxia Regional Theater Command of the Central Army.

The river defense brigade is divided into various key points, and all areas where it is possible to cross the river must be stationed for defense. At each garrison point, Chen Feng, the director of the communications department of the independent division, is instructed to quickly communicate with the wired and wired communication networks of each department, and Guaranteed smooth flow at all times.

Tang Qiuli had to do this. In the future, the territory of Shanxi would become the main battlefield in North China. Along the thousands of miles along the Yellow River, there were too many places where the river could be crossed. Wait for the Central Plains.

The thinking of the Japanese cannot be judged according to the thinking of normal people. They are all a group of lunatics. The lunatics play their cards and do not follow common sense.

As for the Yellow River defense line to the west of Hukou, he didn't have to worry about it. It was the territory of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China.Make sure the defense is tighter than you think.

After the formation of the Seventeenth Route Army was completed, targeted training was carried out in accordance with the method of training the troops of the Northeast Advance Command. Immediately, the troops of the Shaanxi Provincial Garrison Command went to the garrison sites, and the troops of the Yellow River Defense Command immediately entered the garrison. place, and build permanent fortifications.

For this reason, Tang Qiuli equipped the river defense troops with a large number of artillery from the warehouse of the Huangyadong Logistics Department. The range can cover the range of ten kilometers across the Yellow River. The Zheng Yong Department of the first brigade sent special personnel to guide, and completed the topography and landform mapping of the east bank of the Yellow River, as well as shooting coordinates and Zhuyuan.

The transportation headquarters of the independent division was established, and Zhou Yushan, the former deputy director of the logistics department of the independent division and the director of the transportation department, served as the commander. Song Wenhai, the deputy director, took over his position. Changbai Shibin is in charge.

The logistics department of the Huangyadong base area mobilized officers at all levels to form the commanding organization of the transport command. The Huangyadong garrison brigade mobilized two regiments of troops, and the Dingbian Mobile Corps mobilized three regiments of troops. The independent division air defense The strength of a brigade and a reinforced regiment, with a total of 3000 people, constitutes the force under the jurisdiction of the Transportation Command.

From Dingbian via Suide and Wubao in Shaanxi, cross the Yellow River in the east, arrive at Jundu and Liulin Ferry in Shanxi, cross Luliang Mountain, and arrive at the base of Huangyadong in Taihang Mountain. Most of the transportation lines of thousands of miles are in Shanxi. , will definitely become the key attack target of the Japanese army. In the future, large-scale and fierce battles will inevitably occur on this transportation line, and it will be repeated battles. Zhou Yushan has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Feng Jiwu, the former Chief of Staff of the Independent Division, was promoted to Deputy Chief of the Independent Division, taking over from Liu Tiehan, the former Deputy Chief of the Independent Division. The post of brigade commander was assumed by the former deputy brigade commander Liu Hongzhang.

A series of personnel transfers and arrangements made Tang Qiuli dizzy and complained endlessly. They all said that a big family business is a good thing, but it is enough to be tired of being a family member. Tang Qiuli is a little bit overwhelmed now. Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang , it will take a few days to arrive, there is no way, Tang Qiuli had to grit his teeth and stand firm.

His greatest wish now is to hold Mei Ting in his arms, find a place where no one will be disturbed, and sleep soundly for three days and three nights.
