Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Ah."

Wei Hongjun nodded.

There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world.

The base is short of money, so of course they have to try every possible way to make money. If they give up making money for fear of affecting the combat effectiveness of the troops, it will also be detrimental to the development of the base. So he thought it through and said, "I understand this matter. I will set up a special logistics unit for the troops, separating the logistics unit from the field troops. The original logistics of the field troops will be changed to the radiation and weight unit. The logistics unit will be responsible for doing business, and the weight unit will only be responsible for the distribution of troop supplies. Although this will increase the number of personnel in the troop logistics agency, it is also a way to reduce the impact of doing business on the troops. Director Gao, you can do it boldly. If there is any resistance, you can come to me directly."

"it is good.

Chapter 199 Reorganization

"The Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Advance Army was established in Changping, and they will soon advance into eastern Hebei and Rehe. After the Fourth Column was incorporated into the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Advance Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Branch Bureau abolished the Pingxi Prefectural Committee, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also officially abolished the Pingxi Detachment. Changping, Wanping, Fangshan, and Zhuozhou in the Pingxi Anti-Japanese Base Area were all placed under the responsibility of the First Sub-District. Among them, Changping, Wanping, and Fangshan were handed over to our Eighth Column, and our Eighth Column also officially began to be responsible for developing the Chahar Base Area. In order to complete the tasks assigned to us by the Military Region, our Eighth Column must reorganize some troops. What we are discussing today is the issue of how to reorganize."

“我先说说34团和35团的问题。目前西撤冀东部队的整训工作已经进入尾声，游击总队要成立34团和35团。34团和35团，目前最大的问题是团部的成立。大家都说说。”

Wei Hongjun presided over the meeting of the 8th Column.

After the establishment of the Ji-Re-Liao Advance Army, the 8th Column's mission became increasingly clear. Although the military region had not issued any official document, Marshal Nie had clearly communicated this to Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun. The 8th Column's next mission was to develop and expand the Chahar base area.

In addition to the Chahar base, many places in Pingxi and Pingbei will belong to the Eighth Column.

Compared to the county towns in Chahar, places like Wanping, the headquarters of the Yuanping West Detachment, and places like Changping, Huairou, and Shunyi to the north are densely populated. Each county has a population of around 200,000 to 300,000. If all of these places were included in the base area of ​​the 8th Column, the population under its jurisdiction would increase significantly.

Therefore, the mission of the Eighth Column began to become heavier.

The reorganization of the troops was no small matter. The placement of cadres, in particular, required a balance. The Jidong troops were heavily clinging to one another, so we couldn't rely solely on Jidong cadres, but we also couldn't completely suppress Yidong cadres.

There has to be a balance.

"Commander, Political Commissar, although the Jidong troops are now in a stable mood and have a sense of belonging to the 34th Column, we still need to reflect some of the characteristics of the Jidong troops in the 35th and th Regiments.

Li Shiping spoke.

What he said was very simple.

The 34th and 35th Regiments were reorganized from the Jidong Army, and they had to include some representative cadres from the Jidong Army. This was something that had to be considered during the reorganization of the army, in order to appease the troops.

"Comrade Gui Jiu, the former commander of the First Column of the Guerrilla Corps, has considerable combat experience and is an excellent candidate for a military cadre.

Xiao Yongshi, deputy commander of the 8th Column, spoke.

Xiao Yongshi was in charge of the daily cadre training for the Guerrilla Corps. Now that they needed to promote some representatives from the Eastern Hebei Corps, Xiao Yongshi recommended Gui Jiu.

"I also think Comrade Guijiu is suitable."

Chu He, deputy political commissar of the 8th Column, also supported Gui Jiu.

The Jidong troops, especially the guerrilla corps, were in a rather awkward position. Although they were under the command of the Eighth Route Army, their main leaders were not Party members, and not only were they not Party members, but each one was more famous than the other. Therefore, the reorganization of the troops had to be done with extreme caution.

Chuhe's position is very important.

He was born in the Jidong Army, but is also a Party member and is currently the deputy political commissar of the Eighth Column.

Wei Hongjun looked at Wang Qiuyun.

Although Wei Hongjun had a stronger say in personnel matters, he still had to respect Wang Qiuyun as a military cadre. Wang Qiuyun nodded to Wei Hongjun and said, "Comrade Guijiu has been in the military for many years. He led the First Column in many battles since the Jidong Uprising. He has a high prestige in the First Column.

"Then I propose that Comrade Guijiu be appointed commander of the 34th Regiment. What are your opinions?"

The guerrilla corps was composed of four columns. The First and Second columns were reorganized into the 34th Regiment, while the Third and Fourth columns were reorganized into the 35th Regiment. Gui Jiu, a former commander of the First Column, was recommended by Wei Hongjun after summarizing everyone's opinions.

"agree."

"agree."

Although some people didn't think Guijiu was qualified to lead a major regiment, the 34th Regiment was a Jidong unit, so it definitely needed Jidong cadres. Among the Jidong military cadres, Guijiu was considered the best. Therefore, everyone agreed that Guijiu should be the commander of the 34th Regiment.

"Then it's settled."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Wei Hongjun made the decision.

Then he said, "Political Commissar of the 34th Regiment, I propose that Comrade Zhang Chao, who is responsible for the reorganization of the guerrilla corps, take up the position. Comrade Zhang Chao participated in the training and reorganization of the guerrilla corps and is familiar with its situation.

"Comrade Zhang Chao, yes."

"He has great prestige in the army."

Zhang Chao and Lu Weisheng were Wei Hongjun's two most trusted generals in the new military reorganization campaign he implemented within the 34th Column. They understood the new reorganization plan most thoroughly and were the most effective in implementing it within the army. Zhang Chao performed exceptionally well during the training and reassurance efforts of the 35th and th Regiments.

It should be said that Zhang Chao is very experienced in reforming troops.

Of course, another important reason is that the 34th and 35th Regiments are troops of the th Column. Although they were reorganized from the Jidong troops, since they have been reorganized, they must accept the leadership of the th Column.

The Central Committee did not allow the emergence of warlords, and Wei Hongjun, as the political commissar of the Eighth Column, did not allow the Eighth Column to have troops that did not accept his command. Therefore, he had to take care of the feelings of the troops in eastern Hebei and also send cadres into the troops.

Zhang Chao's appointment as the political commissar of the 34th Regiment is a way of adding sand.

Everyone understands.

So no one objected.

"Let's talk about the 35th Regiment. The 35th and 34th Regiments are different. The 34th Regiment, formerly the First and Second Guerrilla Corps, had many military officers with military training and had fought many battles during the Jidong Uprising. However, the 35th Regiment was reorganized from the Third and Fourth Columns. Most of the officers and soldiers were workers and peasants who joined later and had little combat experience. Although their combat effectiveness has greatly improved during this period of training, it is still not as good as the 34th Regiment.

Therefore, my idea is to equip the 35th Regiment with a military officer who has rich combat experience and strong training capabilities."

"Comrade Song Zhiyuan."

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun work in perfect harmony.

When Wei Hongjun said he wanted to send an outstanding military cadre to the 35th Regiment, Wang Qiuyun blurted out Song Zhiyuan.

Song Zhiyuan was the former battalion commander of the Northeast Army. Later, the troops he built were reorganized into the First Division. Because the Eighth Column needed military cadres to operate artillery, Yang Quanwu sent Song Zhiyuan to the Eighth Column.

Song Zhiyuan is an all-round cadre.

He was an expert at manipulating artillery, having single-handedly trained the artillery of the Eighth Column. Li Yong, who was currently in charge of the artillery, was also trained by Song Zhiyuan. Besides being an expert at manipulating artillery, Song Zhiyuan was also a top-notch trainer.

Both Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun admired him very much.

Unlike Cao Lei, the commander of the 19th Regiment, Song Zhiyuan applied to join the Party soon after joining the Eighth Route Army and is now a full member.

"I agree. Comrade Song Zhiyuan is a good leader."

"support."

"support."

If it weren't for the sake of stability, Song Zhiyuan would have been the first candidate for the leader of the 19th Regiment when it was first established.

Song Zhiyuan is a very suitable candidate for the establishment of the 35th Regiment this time.

"As for the political commissar of the 35th Regiment, I think Comrade Feng Linqi, the former director of the Political Department of the First Column, should be appointed." Some things need to be discussed.

Some appointments were simple. For example, Gui Jiu and Feng Linqi were the commander and political director of the First Column, the main force of the guerrilla corps. Positions would definitely be reserved for them in the newly formed 34th and 35th Regiments.

Gui Jiu was appointed as the commander of the 34th Regiment, and Feng Linqi was appointed as the political commissar of the 35th Regiment.

No one has an opinion.

"Next, let's discuss the next direction of our troops."

"Commander, Political Commissar, and all leaders, judging from the requirements of the military region for our Eighth Column, our work in the new year will focus on opening up the Chahar base. Therefore, from a military perspective, what we have to do in the new year is to consolidate the Xuan (Xuanhua), Zhuo (Zhuolu), and Huai (Huailai) bases, develop the Ning (Xining County), Gao (Yang Gaoxian), Zhen (Tianzhen) bases and the Long (Longguan), Yan (Yanqing), and Chi (Chicheng) bases, and open up the Zhang (Zhangbei), Chong (Chongli), Gu (Guyuan) bases and the Huai (Huaian), Wan (Wanquan), and Xing (Xinghe) bases."

The base of the Eighth Column.

It has been very big since then.

Sheng County is the main base, and Xuanhua, Zhuolu, and Huailai counties are important bases. The Ninggaozhen and Longyanchi bases are also developing rapidly. The next goal is to open up the Zhangchonggu and Huaiwanxing bases.

Once the development of these bases is completed, the deployment of the development of the entire Chahar base will be fully launched.

Chen Zhonghe, the head of the 8th Column's Operations Section, began to brief everyone on the 8th Column's upcoming missions. He also began to brief everyone on the current situation of the 8th Column's troops.

"To consolidate the Xuan-Zhuo-Huai base, our Eighth Column mainly relies on the 5400th and 2800th Regiments. The 7700th Regiment is responsible for the Huailai base, and the th Regiment is responsible for the Xuan base. This is also the base that the Japanese army focused on sweeping. In addition to the th and th Regiments, the Eighth Column also has the Xuanhua County Battalion, the Zhuolu County Battalion, the Huailai County Battalion, as well as district squads and militia organizations. The number of people is the main force of the th and th Regiments totaling people, the three county battalions have people, and the district squads and militia have people.

Chapter 200 Reorganization 2

"The development of the Ning (Xining County), Gao (Yang Gao County), and Zhen (Tianzhen) bases is the work of the First Detachment of our Eighth Column. The Long (Longguan), Yan (Yanqing), and Chi (Chicheng) bases are staffed by the New First and Third Regiments of the Eighth Column, as well as the Longyan Chixian Battalion. The development of the Zhang (Zhangbei), Chong (Chongli), and Gu (Guyuan) bases relies primarily on guerrilla detachments. As for the Huaiwanxing base, the Eighth Column currently has no troops operating there.

But there are troops in this area. The 120th Division has a Chasui Detachment here.

Chen Zhonghe was speaking while drawing circles on the map.

It can be seen that the troops of the Eighth Column are everywhere.

"The first detachment reported that they currently have 1400 main forces, 1100 local forces, and more than 3000 militia troops.

The main forces of the New 2400st and New 1100rd Regiments had more than 4600 men, the Longyan Chixian Battalion had 1200 men, and the militia had 700 men. The guerrilla detachment operating in the Zhangchonggu base area had a main force of men and a local force of men.

“That number isn’t right.”

Wei Hongjun shook his head and interrupted Chen Zhonghe's report.

Then he said: "The first team cannot have only 1400 people.

"Yes, the first team can't have only this few people."

Wang Qiuyun also nodded.

He also said, "There are also problems with the data for the New 34st and New 35rd Regiments. Especially the New rd Regiment. They've expanded so rapidly, it's impossible for them to have only this many men. After the victory in the last counter-th Route Siege Operation, all units were expanding. The Japanese troops in the Longyanchi base where the New st and New rd Regiments are located are seriously undermanned, so it's impossible for them not to have expanded. Furthermore, in addition to reorganizing the th and th Regiments, the Jidong troops also added over men to the New Regiment. How could it be so few men?"

Wang Qiuyun became a little angry as she spoke.

It is normal for the troops to lay ambushes on some issues.

But you can't hide too much.

这一次西撤进入八纵根据地的游击总队9000多人，有7000人枪。此次整编34团和35团，每个团3000人。这样还剩下了3000多人。

Of course, among these 3000-plus personnel, many were technical personnel who were transferred directly to military headquarters. Some who were unsuitable for military service were also eliminated during this reorganization. But there were still nearly 2000 remaining.

Finally, the Eighth Column split them up and added reinforcements to the troops that had suffered heavy casualties this time.

The New 300st and New rd Regiments received more than people. Moreover, it has been several months since the anti-th Route Siege, so how could the New st and New rd Regiments still have so few troops?

Not entirely possible.

Wei Hongjun said, "Well, let's first discuss the next steps in the reorganization of the troops. I'll personally go over to the First Detachment, the New First Regiment, and the New Third Regiment after the meeting is over. I'll see how their troops are doing, and also what's happening in their base areas."

“That’s how it should be.

Wang Qiuyun nodded.

We should go and see the specific situation of these troops outside. These people went out to take charge of their own affairs, and as they grew stronger, they began to play coy with the main force.

After Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun finished their conversation, Chen Zhonghe continued, "According to the Eighth Column's next plan, the most important thing is to develop the Ninggao Town base and the Longyanchi base. The Longyanchi base already has a foundation, so the column only needs to support the New 1st and New 3rd Regiments. However, the issue of unified command of the New 1st and New 3rd Regiments in the Longyanchi base must be resolved."

"Unified command?"
