Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Others who heard Liu Ming's speech also expressed that the matter needed to be dealt with seriously.

After everyone finished speaking, Zeng Jiwen looked at everyone and said.

"Comrades, it's okay to have problems. What's scary is not having the courage to self-criticize and correct them."

"This incident also reminds us that the army is developing too fast. We need to guide the new members of the organization. We should support the good ones and criticize and correct the bad ones."

"To fully carry forward our traditions, we must attach importance to the construction of grassroots organizations."

"This is a lesson. I will consult my family and request disciplinary action. Comrades below, if the problems are not serious, will be given warnings and asked to reflect on their actions. Some opportunists must be eliminated from our team!"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Jiwen looked at Liu Ming and Deng Xie and said.

"Old Liu, Old Deng, I'm afraid you'll have a heavy burden ahead of you. This incident has served as a great wake-up call for us. We must uphold our principles. The grassroots are our foundation."

After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, the two nodded.

Afterwards, everyone talked about the construction of the troops.

Ever since the Battle of Shijiazhuang, a culture of arrogance has emerged throughout the army. In the school, this is directly reflected in the ridicule of students from other military regions, and some even look down on them.

Some of the main force regiments stationed in local areas actually cooperated with local troops and secretly started business.

"Old Huang, Wu Lin, the army needs you to crack down on these bad habits. Cai Xu and Guo Sheng will assist you."

Zeng Jiwen finished speaking and looked at a few people.

Wu Lin and Huang Hanjia nodded seriously when they heard Zeng Jiwen's words.

"No matter who is involved this time, if it's difficult to handle, report it to me and I'll handle it!"

Zeng Jiwen continued.

After the meeting, everyone started a vigorous self-examination and rectification campaign in the base. From top to bottom, a large number of people were severely dealt with.

For a moment, the entire base began to become panic-stricken.

At the same time, Zeng Jiwen and others also reported the military district's affairs to their families and the general command.

After learning about the situation in Tainan, the family and the headquarters were also very surprised. They then realized that it was not just Tainan, but the bases in various places had improved a lot over the past year.

The incident in Tainan this time was likely to occur not only in Tainan but also in other places, so they immediately began to ask all places to conduct self-inspection and self-correction.

Throughout December and most of January 1949, Zeng Jiwen, Zhou Shi and Wang Zhuo were busy in various places dealing with various problems that had been covered up before.

At the same time, during this period, due to the fall of the three southern towns, someone went to Hanoi and delivered a notorious speech, which was unanimously opposed by the whole country.

Due to the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army in North China in the Battle of Shijiazhuang, the Japanese army in North China was unable to launch a large-scale operation to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei in January.

After reviewing the situation in North China, the newly appointed commander of the North China Front Army, Tada Shun, decided to reduce the number of troops.

January 13. Beiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.

In the conference room, the new commander, Tada Shun, sat at the head seat.

Below them sat the new chief of staff Yukio Kasahara, head of the intelligence department Sadasuke Yoshikawa, the new commander of the 1st Army Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the 5th Division Seishirō Itagaki, commander of the 14th Division Kenji Doihara, other independent mixed brigade generals and staff at all levels of the headquarters.

The Mongolian Corps was separated from the command sequence of the North China Front Army at the strong request of the Mongolian Corps Commander Hasunuma Han because of the previous disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in North China.

Tada Shun has been troubled for a long time because of today's meeting.

Originally, according to the strategic concept proposed by Tada Shun and others, the empire's main enemy should be in the north, and as for China, negotiations should be carried out as soon as possible after intimidating the south in order to end the focus on dealing with the north.
