This is to kill one to set an example, to kill the monkey to show the chicken.

  Well now, ten local garrison brigades will be stationed in the vast northwest, such as Suiyuan, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, etc., and even Xinjiang.

  A few days later, Ding Wei called another meeting to discuss the location of the ten local garrison brigades.

  After several hours of deliberation, a resolution was finally reached. The brigades of the ten local garrison brigades are all stationed in ten large cities in the northwest, and are responsible for the security and stability of these cities and the vast surrounding areas.

  The regiments and battalions at the next level of the garrison brigade, and even companies, are stationed in the small and medium-sized cities around each brigade headquarters, firmly controlling the vast northwest.

  The [-]th Group Army should not scatter infantry to be responsible for local defense and public order. It can concentrate on building the army and fight the little devils.

  The resolution made it clear that, with the exception of Shanxi, the rest of the provinces were stationed with two or three local garrison brigades, and the defense and public order in Shanxi Province were mainly in charge of the garrison division.

  The details of the local police brigades are as follows:

  The first brigade is stationed in Jining; the second brigade is stationed in Guisui; the third brigade is stationed in Baotou; the fourth brigade is stationed in Ordos; the fifth brigade is stationed in Yinchuan; the sixth brigade is stationed in Lanzhou; the seventh brigade is stationed in Wuwei; the eighth brigade is stationed in Xining; The ninth brigade is stationed in Golmud; the tenth brigade is stationed in the Hami area.

  The above brigades have three regiments per brigade and three battalions per regiment. They are mainly equipped with captured Hanyang-made, Zhongguang, and 6-type rifles, as well as a small amount of light machine guns. Each regiment is equipped with 60 [-]mm mortars. .

  This level of equipment is basically comparable to some of the Kuomintang's motley army, but fortunately, thanks to the support of the Datong base, although the level of weapons is relatively backward, the ammunition is still relatively sufficient.

  The clothes of these local garrison brigades are also very different from those of the [-]th Army, but they are also olive green military uniforms, which are very similar to the military uniforms of the People's Liberation Army in the [-]s and [-]s.

  The Kuomintang has basically no troops stationed in the above-mentioned cities and regions, and these cities and regions have only a small number of local armed forces, or there is no army at all, which is a complete vacuum.

  It is believed that with the presence of the local garrison brigades, the security in these places will be greatly improved. Some of the original miscellaneous armed forces and local warlords, with the garrison brigades, will either be reorganized on the spot or withdraw from these areas.

  Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief of the [-]th Group Army, also served as the commander-in-chief of this garrison. .

Chapter 494

  By the end of December, the formation of various local garrison brigades was basically completed, and the recruitment was also in progress.

  In many cities in the northwest, there are many warriors in olive green military uniforms. These warriors are the warriors of the local garrison brigades.

  Now, the training of the various garrison brigades is in full swing.

  With the entry of the local garrison brigade, the local political axes in several provinces in the northwest have also been reorganized. Although the political axes at all levels are still marked with the national political axes, they are fundamentally different from before.

  In various cities and towns, there used to be local Kuomintang political axes, but now they have been reorganized, and many civilians or party members and comrades of the [-]th Group Army have been added. These political axes are firmly in the hands of Ding Wei. up.

  In various cities and towns, there used to be some warlord political axe, or some puppet military regimes, and now new regimes have been established. The axe is also hung with the brand of the National Political Axe.

  Political axes at all levels have also established party organizations one after another. For example, county-level political axes have established county committees, and district-level political axes have established prefectural committees.

  But all these party organizations are all under the leadership of Ding Wei, and all belong to the Northwest Bureau. Ding Wei is now concurrently the secretary of the [***] Northwest Bureau.

  Lao Jiang knew about Ding Wei's actions in the Northwest, but Lao Jiang did not stop or protest.

  On the one hand, Lao Jiang had just received dozens of heavy cannons from Ding Wei, and on the other hand, Lao Jiang knew that even if he stopped him, Ding Wei would not necessarily listen to him, and would only make fun of himself.

  Now in various enemy-occupied areas, there are not a few regimes established, and a large number of puppet military regimes have been established, and they shamelessly play the banner of saving the country by curve.

  Ding Wei was in the Northwest, and the regime he established was not very out of the ordinary. What's more, all the political organizations at all levels established by Ding Wei were all marked with the axe of civil affairs.

  Ding Wei's series of actions, Lao Jiang turned a blind eye.

  In late December, not only a large number of regimes were established in the northwest, ten local garrison brigades were also established, and hundreds of thousands of recruits from the 12th Group Army were also recruited.

  During this period of time, too many young people have poured into Datong and Taiyuan from all over the country. Although the [-]th Group Army has recruited hundreds of thousands of recruits this time, there are still many people who did not join the third Sixteenth Army.

  These young people who did not join the [-]th Group Army did not want to leave in Datong and Taiyuan for a long time. Everyone came to Datong or Taiyuan with enthusiasm. I never thought that they could not join the [-]th Group Army of their dreams. .

  These people felt deeply disappointed and refused to leave for a long time.

  After Ding Wei found out about this situation, he immediately set up a lot of propaganda teams to encourage these young people to join various factories, engage in production, produce weapons and equipment for the front-line troops, and produce clothing and food for the front-line troops. This is also anti-Japanese, and this is also serving the country. .

  In the past, the fronts of the recruitment sites that recruited workers were very deserted. After the publicity of these propaganda teams, now the fronts of the recruitment sites are also extremely popular, which made Comrade Fangzheng so happy that he almost couldn't keep his mouth shut.

  In just a few days, tens of thousands of qualified young workers have been recruited. Seeing that there are still many young people who have not become workers, Fangzheng asked Ding Wei whether to recruit tens of thousands more.

  Not long ago, so much money was seized from Ma Bufang. The major factories in the base area were about to develop by leaps and bounds, and the plan made before was also changed. Therefore, Ding Wei decided to recruit another 3 people and recruited workers. The total number reached a terrifying 8.

  In this way, most of the young people who have poured into the base areas from all over the country have been recruited. For the rest, Ding Wei plans to encourage them to join the various local garrison brigades. [-] to [-] people have no problem at all.

  During this recruitment and recruitment process, a large number of talents were also found. This can be said to be an unexpected gain. These people, Ding Wei has arranged suitable positions. Worked as engineering technicians in various factories.

  In addition, the reconstruction work of the Thirty-sixth Army is also drawing to a close.

  The entire [-]th Army Group was basically reorganized into ten columns. The former seven infantry divisions, one armored division, one cavalry division, and one artillery division were all reorganized into columns, and the former division commander was the commander of the newly established column. .

  The tanks and armored personnel carriers of the armored divisions, the cavalry of the cavalry divisions, and the 155mm heavy artillery of the artillery divisions were all equally distributed to the newly formed columns.

  The level of each column has also been raised. It used to be a division-level unit, and the division commander was a major general. Now it is a column, which is equivalent to a military-level unit, and the commander of the column is a lieutenant general.

  Correspondingly, most of the former brigade commanders have now become division commanders, and the rank has also been promoted from the former colonel to the major general. With the promotion of the rank, the commanders of the columns and the commanders of the divisions are very happy.

  Everyone's enthusiasm is very high, and there is basically no resistance. The adaptation work is going very smoothly. So far, the adaptation work has basically been completed, and the troops can start their daily training soon.

  This time, the 40th Group Army, with nearly 10 troops, has [-] columns under its jurisdiction, a guard division, an anti-aircraft artillery brigade, a wolf tooth special team, a flying brigade, etc. In addition, there is another one with more than [-] people. Ten newly formed local garrison brigades.

  There are 10 columns, each with a total number of about 3 people. Each column will be a combat unit with basic reading ability. If there is a major battle, several columns can be combined to fight.

  Each column has two divisions, one heavy artillery brigade and one cavalry regiment. The heavy artillery brigade is equipped with 60 155mm howitzers. In the future, the large-caliber self-propelled artillery and vehicle-mounted rocket launchers produced in the base area will be equipped with the heavy artillery brigade.

  Each division has two infantry brigades, one is directly under the millimeter howitzer artillery regiment, one is directly under the 39-type tank regiment, and the other is directly under the mechanized infantry regiment. Each infantry brigade has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction.

  The high-level personnel of the [-]th Group Army, such as Ding Wei, Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, and Liu Dazhu, are in the rank of general, and Comrade Fangzheng is in the rank of lieutenant general.

  Ding Wei has reported these military ranks and troop formations to Yan'an, and Yan'an has also called back and fully agreed with Ding Wei's approach.

  Regarding military rank, this time it is mainly implemented in the [-]th Army Group, while the [-]th Army Group and the New Fourth Army will not implement it for the time being. All major generals and above, Ding Wei also reported a detailed list, which was recorded in the central government.

  This time, the Central Committee was very happy to see that the 40th Army Group had grown to [-] people and controlled such a large area. It even sent a congratulatory message to the [-]th Army Group.

  After receiving the congratulatory message from Yan'an, Ding Wei smiled and thought to himself, fortunately, when he reported it, he only reported the formation of the troops, not the weapons and equipment.

  If Yan'an knew what it would be like with so many heavy artillery, tanks and planes, would it be happier.

  As for whether the Yanan side will worry about losing control of itself, and the issue of high power shocking the master, Ding Wei has long considered it. As long as he keeps his attitude low and Yanan side resolutely implements the instructions of the Yanan side, there should be no such problem. .

  Although there was no war in late December, Ding Wei felt that this was the busiest time.

  First, the construction of ten local guards was completed, and then the reorganization of the troops was completed, and ten columns were established. The construction of the base also cost Ding Wei a lot of hard work.

  Due to the urgent need for a large number of tanks and aircraft, Ding Wei instructed Fangzheng to expand the two factories and became one of the first expanded factories.

  For example, the current armored vehicle factory has been expanded into two factories, namely a tank factory specializing in the production of Type 39 tanks, and an armored vehicle factory specializing in the production of Type 39 armored personnel carriers (Li's Zhao).

  Due to the increasingly mature technology, the monthly output of both tanks and armored vehicles has basically increased by more than 50% compared with the output at the beginning of the establishment of the factory, but Ding Wei still thinks that such an increase is far from enough.

  In order to increase production on a large scale, steadily improve quality and develop new products, we must take the road of specialized production. The factories that produce tanks only produce tanks, and the factories that produce armored vehicles only produce armored vehicles.

  In addition to the armored vehicle factory, the Datong Aircraft Factory is also undergoing expansion. On the outskirts of Taiyuan, a huge factory is being built. Here, after completion, it will be the second aircraft manufacturing factory, specializing in the production of large transport aircraft and long-range strategic bombers.

  The long-range strategic bomber is also in the process of designing, and the sketches have been released. After review and demonstration, the first aircraft will be produced at the Second Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in Taiyuan.

  The aircraft factory in Datong will be the first aircraft factory in the future, specializing in the production of Mustang fighter jets. It is estimated that the output will increase significantly.

  In addition to these factories, in the next stage, Ding Wei is ready to start the expansion of the second batch of factories, such as the Huanglongxia Arsenal, the heavy artillery factory, etc. will be divided into two....

Chapter 495

  Huanglongxia Arsenal will be divided into two large ordnance bases. One is still in Huanglongxia, called the First Arsenal. It mainly produces light weapons, such as ak-47 assault rifles, bullets, grenades, etc., as well as general-purpose machine gun production lines that will be launched in the future.

  The second arsenal will be located on the outskirts of Xin'an County, not far from Huanglong Gorge. This arsenal covers an area of ​​two or three hundred acres. It mainly produces heavy weapons such as 60mm mortars and 30mm cannons, as well as artillery shells. .

  The heavy artillery factory will also be expanded into two factories, one specializing in the production of heavy artillery, such as 155mm howitzers, 105mm howitzers; the other factory will produce vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, self-propelled howitzers, etc.

  The Datong Automobile Factory will also be divided into two parts, with the first automobile factory specializing in the production of large trucks, and the second automobile factory specializing in the production of off-road vehicles.

  Because of a grand plan, Ding Weicai asked Fangzheng to recruit so many workers this time.

  But these are things in the next stage. Now, Ding Wei has a very important thing to do.

  Now, New Year's Day is coming soon. New Year's Day is a big day for Ding Wei. On this day, Ding Wei and Lin Yuxin will get married.

  The specific matters of the wedding, Lin's father and Lin's mother are basically done. The wedding venue is in Ding Wei's private mansion. Since there is no plan to do it, there are not many guests invited by Ding Wei, and it is estimated that there will be only seven. , The appearance of eight tables.

  As for Lin Yuxin's family, Ding Wei had prepared two tables, but he only had five or six tables. Apart from a few high-level officials of the [-]th Army Group, they were the commanders of ten columns, and then the Eighth Route Army. Guests, as well as guests from Yan'an.

  As for the Kuomintang, apart from his sworn brother Ding Zizhong, there was only Chen Cheng from Yucheng, who was a special envoy sent by Lao Jiang.

  The day before New Year's Day, all the guests came.

  In Yan'an, Deputy Leader Wu led the team. The leader originally wanted to visit in person, but after thinking about it, he still entrusted Deputy Leader Wu, but the leader personally wrote a calligraphy treasure "The Harmony of Heaven" and entrusted Deputy Leader Wu to bring it to Ding. Wei.

  At present, deputy head Wu's position within the party is second only to the head of the party, and slightly higher than the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army. This time, deputy head Wu represented the central government and attended Ding Wei's wedding in person, which shows that Yan'an attaches great importance to Ding Wei.

  As for the Eighth Route Army, although the Hundred Regiments Battle is still going on, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and commanders of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army are all here this time.

  Ding Zizhong arrived in Datong early. Two days earlier, Ding Zizhong and the third column commander Qian Long came together. Everyone took the plane at Jingzhou Airport and flew directly to Datong. It took two or three hours to arrive.

  Now, everyone is settled in the most luxurious hotel in Datong. On New Year's Day, in addition to the guests attending the wedding banquet, everyone's entourage, Ding Wei, has also arranged to have dinner at the "Kelaishi" restaurant in Datong.

  New Year.

  Ding Wei's mansion was decorated with lanterns, dozens of orderlies were busy, and everyone's faces were filled with joy. Several of the best chefs of the [-]th Army Group were also invited, and they are now busy in the kitchen .

  Ding Wei is dressed in a Chinese-style groom's attire. Today's wedding is a purely celestial wedding. Ding Wei will ride a tall horse and use a large sedan chair to marry Lin Yuxin.

  nine in the morning.

  Seeing that everyone was basically ready, and the welcoming team at the door was also ready to go, so Comrade Deng Wenping, who presided over the wedding, said with a Sichuan accent: "Commander-in-chief, please get on your horse! We are going to greet the bride!"

  Wearing a big red flower on his chest and a festive groom's outfit, Ding Wei walked quickly to the door and got on his horse with a happy expression on his face.

  Ding Wei was riding a snow-white high-headed horse.

  "Comrades! Let's go!"

  Ding Wei rode a horse in front of him slowly, and the welcoming team behind him played gongs and drums, and firecrackers sounded in unison, which seemed very lively and festive.

  Lin House.

  At this time, it was also full of lanterns, and it was very festive. All the relatives and friends of the Lin family were all smiling, talking and laughing there.

  Originally, Father Lin used to be the deputy chief of Xi'an City, and the business was so big that there were not seven or eight hundred relatives and friends, but four or five hundred.

  But this time, Ding Wei wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to make a move. Therefore, Lin's father only invited a dozen close relatives and friends to attend the wedding, and many relatives and friends could not be invited.
