Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The Russians publicly announced that they had handed over Xinjing to Ding Wei, the commander-in-chief of the National Government Headquarters, which was reasonable and legal.

This was deliberately done to confirm Ding Wei's identity as the Guofu.

It was disgusting enough that some people who didn't know the reason publicly criticized Ding Wei internally.

Ultimately it comes down to who will lead the gun.

In early October, just as things regarding the Manchuria Military Region were taking shape, they were simply disbanded.

The Manchurian People's Autonomous Army was established, with Biaoge as the commander and Ding Wei as the first deputy commander. At the same time, the second to fourth deputy commanders were established to coordinate the 100,000 troops entering the outside of the Great Wall.

There are many arrangements for Ding Wei. Due to his influence in the region, he will definitely be given the position of deputy commander.

However, due to the relationship with the Soviets and the fact that both sides had fought and seen blood, it was not appropriate to communicate with Vasilevsky.

This is not conducive to the development of the army and the situation in the Northeast.

Taking all this into consideration, it is better to let someone with more qualifications, experience, and abilities take over.

At the same time, the North Manchuria Military Region was established, which had jurisdiction over five second- and third-level military regions: Xing'an, Songjiang, Nenjiang, Heilongjiang, and Hejiang. Ding Wei served as the commander of the North Manchuria Military Region.

The Suirecha Military Region was abolished and the Suiyuan, Chahar and Rehe Military Regions were established separately, which were under the jurisdiction of several third-level military regions such as Chabei and Suidong.

Ding Wei still served as the commander of the Suiyuan and Chahar Military Region, which was connected with West Manchuria and North Manchuria and was mainly used for defense of the border.

This is consistent with Ding Wei's own thinking. He must develop towards Outer Northeast, and it would be better for the troops to gather in the border area to avoid arousing suspicion.

The seeds of suspicion are already there, just let them sprout.

The first thing he did after taking over Fengtian was to transfer Fengtian's equipment to Tongliao, Qi City and other areas under his control. This was really a precautionary measure.

The jurisdiction was adjusted this time, but basically nothing changed. The North Manchuria region was added, and the Rehe region was cancelled. The military factories and tank factories under his control were still there, otherwise he would have really turned the table over.

The areas that Ding Wei could directly govern included Suidong, Chahar, West Manchuria, and North Manchuria, mainly concentrated in the area bordering Outer Mongolia and the Russians.

It seems that the headquarters can see clearly and knows Moscow's true intentions.

They wanted to take advantage of the existence of the National Government to gain benefits in the Far East. They had to threaten the other party to stop their ambitions.

The troops that entered the area outside the Great Wall involved multiple military regions and were once led by different people.

Many of these people have not received their weapons yet and are complaining.

Who said there are weapons and equipment everywhere here? We came here empty-handed, without any food, clothing or other necessities.

In October, there is still residual heat in the south, but the temperature in the northeast has begun to drop. Further north, snow is also very common.

Commander Huang of the New Fourth Army was an upright and outspoken man who reported directly to his superiors and had no food, clothing or other necessities.

No equipment, no logistics, no supplies, no ordnance, no masses, no... Seven difficulties were listed that needed to be solved urgently.

Brother Biao also had a headache. He was given 10 people at once, but they were not his old subordinates, nor were they soldiers he brought directly with him.

With both the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, it was difficult to balance the two for a while.

On the other hand, people within the bureau were still issuing orders frequently, demanding quick contact with the Soviet Union and finding ways to occupy large cities as soon as possible.

The Japanese had just surrendered, and when the Soviets took over, they could turn a blind eye.

Under pressure from the British Empire and the Eagle Sauce in the international arena, they had no choice but to act in accordance with regulations and hand over all their territory and supplies to the National Government.

In name, the mountain city is still the only one with a say and can play a representative role.

When it comes to receiving weapons and equipment, both the National Army and the Eighth Route Army were restricted.

The National Army was constrained by its allies, and relied on economic aid to expand its voice and reach into the military. For all matters concerning the surrender, it required the participation of American officers, which seriously delayed the speed of the surrender.

Xinjing was transferred from the original Kwantung Army headquarters to Ding Wei's headquarters, which made Gao Qing and Wang Chao dissatisfied.

"Commander, the Manchuria Military Region has just been established. It would be too much trouble to cancel it just like that."

Wang Chao came here halfway and was able to become the commander of the column. He thought that this was the pinnacle. His only hope was that Ding Wei could make further progress so that he could also rise with him.

"Commander Gao is right. In terms of military strength and power in the entire Manchuria, even Marshal Zhang is far inferior. Who else can hold up the whole Manchuria except the commander?"

"If we weren't sitting in the Northeast, the Far Eastern Army would go crazy snatching us."

Ding Wei laughed and waved his hand to interrupt the two of them.

"Gao Qing, you are an old revolutionary. You need to raise your ideological awareness. Empty positions are just external possessions. Only the barrel of a gun can give you the right to speak."

"Yes, yes, Commander, what you said is absolutely right. I, Wang Chao, will not listen to anyone else except your orders."

The words may be rough, but the truth is there. Wang Chao was from the Northwest Army and was known for his straightforward character.

Except for Ding Wei, no one else's orders are effective.

Don’t talk about ideological awareness. I’m uneducated and don’t understand.

Ding Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He comforted his two right-hand men and told them to be as reassured as possible.

Not only has the territory under their control not been reduced, but the entire North Manchuria region has been expanded.

In his heart, he also intended to split the troops in his hands into two parts. One is the five columns of Zhang Dabiao, Gao Qing, Zhao Gang, Kong Yong, and Wang Tao (Kong Yong's detachment was also promoted to a column).

This is an old soldier from the New 1st Regiment. He is standing in the sun, his whole body red.

These troops were deployed in Songjiang and Nenjiang. The rest of the forces recruited by Sun Desheng, Wang Chao, Zhou Weiguo, Wang Tianheng, Wu Baoyun, etc., all had doubtless origins and would inevitably cause trouble afterwards.

This is Ding Wei's purely private army, deployed in North Manchuria, West Manchuria, and the Inner Mongolia region, ready to look for opportunities to break out to the Northeast at any time and dominate the Russians' territory.

The first, second, third, fifth and sixth columns each maintained a strength of about 3 troops. Including artillery and logistics personnel, the maximum number was set at 20.

This group of people was planned to be incorporated into the Manchurian People's Autonomous Army and act in accordance with orders.

Ding Wei must definitely keep the remaining 400,000 people, as well as a large number of tanks, artillery, fighter planes, etc. firmly in his hands.

Oil has been extracted in the Anda area and is produced by the Manchurian Oil Company. The mechanized troops on hand are fully capable of launching operations.

Tongliao, Wucheng and Qishi respectively expanded their arsenals to produce guns, bullets and artillery shells to support the troops' exclusive use.

No matter who is in charge of the situation, Ding Wei can at least be in the top three position, and even a god cannot change this.

Hilltop?

He is the boss of the biggest faction, and there are old leaders like the general, division commander, brigade commander, etc. We can't just watch him being bullied.

At this time, many brother troops crowded into Rehe and Fengtian areas.

Kong Jie's column was also being transferred. Kong was a good guy and obediently split the column's forces, leaving most of them to the brigade commander, who took three main regiments, and leaving most of the rest of the weapons and equipment to southern Hebei.

I came to the Northeast almost naked to report to Brother Biao.

A group of people were crowded around the Liao River. They had no equipment, no weapons, and even not enough cotton-padded clothes.

At this time, we really need someone who can keep the situation under control, with sufficient qualifications and strong abilities to balance the troublemakers coming from various military regions.
