Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

The Chinese Communist Party is completely clueless about how to develop socialism and how to build a socialist country.

We only know that if China wants to develop and become a strong country, it must develop its industry.

But there was little certainty about how China should develop. At this stage, the only country China could rely on was the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was already a world-class industrial power, a benchmark for socialist nations. Furthermore, its industrial development had overturned popular perceptions, transforming it into a major industrial nation in a short period of time. Therefore, for China, the Soviet Union was its greatest role model, and it was essential to emulate it. Now that the situation had improved, the Chairman began to consider how to negotiate with the Soviet Union.

"Chairman, I believe we should conduct negotiations with the Soviet Union at a higher level. Send representatives to the Soviet Union to discuss cooperation directly with Soviet leaders."

Wu Hao spoke.

The Commander-in-Chief said, "Yes, we should go. Comrade Rong Zhen and Comrade Wei Hongjun have been advising the Central Committee over the past two years to negotiate with the Soviet Union, hoping to send a large number of students to the Soviet Union. Although we have sent some students in the past two years, it is still too few compared to the scale needed for the future construction of New China. Comrade Rong Zhen and Comrade Wei Hongjun's idea is to send tens of thousands of students to the Soviet Union every year. To achieve this goal, their universities have special Russian language courses. We should talk to the Soviet Union and see if we can send university students, technicians, and industrial cadres to the Soviet Union on a large scale.

There is a lot of cooperation with the Soviet Union now.

In particular, Wei Hongjun has been proposing that the Central Committee and the Soviet Union reach cooperation as soon as possible.

Send a large number of university students, technicians, and industrial officials to the Soviet Union to study. Industrial officials, in particular, should go there as soon as possible to learn about factory construction, factory operation, factory management, and even industrial planning. Since World War II, the Soviet Union has been developing its industry on a large scale, building a large number of factories. Now is a good opportunity to study there.

These things need to be seen and learned in person.

"It's not just about studying in the Soviet Union. Many of the currently established Eastern European socialist countries are industrial nations with strong industrial capabilities. They're also countries where we can send students. However, this requires cooperation with the Soviet Union first. Furthermore, our industrial development also relies on Soviet support."

After hearing these words, the Chairman said, "There is one more important thing. Our relationship with the Soviet Union has been somewhat awkward over the years. Now is the time to communicate, to eliminate the barriers between us and to find out what the Soviet big brother thinks of us. This includes their views on our revolution, their understanding of China's current revolutionary situation, and the relationship between the two sides after the founding of New China."

“We should send people to the Soviet Union.”

And you can't just send anyone.

Instead, we need to send a heavyweight. Only by sending a heavyweight can we have enough authority to discuss more matters. The Chairman looked at everyone and said, "I think we should first contact the Soviet Union and express our intention to send someone to visit the Soviet Union. If Comrade Stalin agrees, Comrade Xiuyang or Comrade Wu Hao will represent the Central Committee to go to the Soviet Union."

"I think it would be better for Comrade Wu Hao to go. Land reform has been going on for over a year now, and the Central Committee should hold a land work conference and issue land documents. My idea is to hold a rural work conference in North China after the Central Committee moves there.

Cultivation recommends Wu Hao.

Because his work was very busy. He had to preside over the Rural Work Conference, and as the director of the Urban Work Committee, he had to preside over the Urban Work Conference after he went to North China. If he went to the Soviet Union, he would not be able to return in a short time.

The chairman nodded.

He looked at Wu Hao and said, "Then Comrade Wu Hao will go. We need to discuss all aspects with the Soviet Union. We need the Soviet Union's support in many aspects."

"Okay, I'll get ready. I'll leave once I get a reply from the Soviet Union.

Wu Hao nodded.

The Chairman said solemnly: "We must strive for Comrade Stalin's support for our revolution, and at the same time strive for the Soviet Union's support for our country's economic development."

The Chairman has his own views on the Soviet Union.

After all, during the Chinese Revolution, the Soviet-educated faction caused serious damage to the revolution and suppressed the Chairman. But compared with the revolution of New China, these things can be completely ignored.

Wu Hao immediately said, "I understand."

After the Secretariat meeting, the Central Committee sent a telegram to the North China Bureau.

First, the North China Field Army was praised for its capture of Tianjin. At the same time, the North China Bureau and the Pingjin General Front Committee were instructed to quickly formulate plans for the reorganization of the Nationalist troops that revolted and surrendered during the Pingjin Campaign. Two additional corps were to be added to the North China Field Army, with the position of corps commander to be given to Hou Jingru, who was about to revolt.

At the same time, the North China Bureau was asked to find a temporary central base close to Beijing.

The central government plans to move to its new location before August.

The Central Committee then issued a document to each liberated area, announcing the convening of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee. It urged all Central Committee members, alternate members, and other cadres eligible to attend the meeting to prepare. The Central Military Commission then issued an order standardizing the organization and unit designations of the entire army and reorganizing the designations of the field armies into a sequential order. Of course, this was only a preliminary resolution.

But the Military Commission’s meaning is very simple.

All the field armies began to prepare. Once the Military Commission issued its official order, the various units would begin reorganization.

Wei Hongjun also received the document from the Central Committee. However, Wei Hongjun did not have time to deal with this matter at the moment. After the capture of Tianjin, Wei Hongjun convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the General Front Committee in Langfang.

The discussion mainly focused on the issues in Tianjin.

Although the troops have entered Tianjin and are in control of it, they have not yet begun to take over Tianjin.

Whichever unit entered Tianjin would be the director of the Tianjin Military Control Commission. Originally, the North China Bureau and the General Front Committee of the Pingjin Campaign had decided that Huang Jing would be the director of the Tianjin Military Control Commission.

However, after the Central Committee decided to send a delegation to the Soviet Union, Huang Jing was selected as a member. He would be accompanying Comrade Wu Hao on the trip, so preparations began. Going to the Soviet Union was no easy task. Before leaving, the delegation had to make all necessary preparations, including how to negotiate with the Soviet Union and what to discuss.

Huang Jing was suddenly unable to serve as the director of the Tianjin Military Control Commission, so the General Front Committee urgently discussed this matter and found someone to temporarily serve as the director of the Tianjin Military Control Commission.

"Leave the 13th and 14th columns. Comrade Bao Shen will serve as the commander of Tianjin Weicheng."

Yang Quanwu said, "Tianjin is the gateway to the Bohai Sea and is very important to Peking. Therefore, we should leave enough troops in Tianjin to deal with any problems that may arise. However, we will attack Peking next, and the main force will go to fight. The 13th and 14th columns are originally Jidong troops and are familiar with Tianjin. Leaving the 13th and 14th columns in Tianjin can guard against threats from the sea.

Yang Quanwu did not hide anything and directly stated that the 13th and 14th columns would remain in Tianjin.

Of the six corps of the current North China Field Army, the First, Second, Third, and Fifth Corps are all directly under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei direct lineage and are the most powerful. These four corps are well-equipped, have a sufficient cadre reserve, and their military and political cadres are all experienced veterans.

In comparison, the Fourth Corps was formed by local troops in southern Shanxi, the Sixth Corps was formed by local troops in the three regions of Hebei Central, Hebei-Shandong, and Hebei-South, and the 13th and 14th columns were formed by local troops in eastern Hebei who remained after Deng Guo led the main force to the Northeast.

Of course it's only relative.

Compared with several main corps, their combat effectiveness is poor. However, if these corps were placed in the Jinsui Military Region or the Northwest Field Army, they would still be relatively powerful.

Wang Zhi nodded.

Unless it was a matter of principle, Wang Zhi always supported Yang Quanwu in military matters. This wasn't because Wang Zhi didn't have his own opinions, but because he knew exactly how to cooperate with generals like Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong.

Wang Zhidao said, "I think so too. The First and Fifth Corps should go to participate in the Battle of Peking, and the 13th and 14th columns can stay in Tianjin."

Wei Hongjun looked at Luo Qirong.

Luo Qirong nodded.

"I agree. Besides, we already have enough troops in Peking. We don't need the 13th and 14th columns to go there," he said.

"it is good."

Since everyone agrees, Wei Hongjun will not object.

However, Wei Hongjun understood that while Yang Quanwu had many excuses, there was only one real reason. The commander of the Eastern Hebei Detachment, Bao Shen, was a member of the Shaanxi-Gansu Red Army. Although he had served under Yang Quanwu, it was only for a few months. When Deng Guo established the Pingxi Detachment, Bao Shen had followed Deng Guo out of the First Division. Having fought under Deng Guo for most of the War of Resistance, Yang Quanwu and Bao Shen were not actually familiar with each other.

Moreover, judging from the overall composition of the troops, the 13th and 14th columns were formed by local troops in eastern Hebei, and neither of them had anything to do with Yang Quanwu. It can be said that the 13th and 14th columns were relatively different troops in the Jin-Cha-Ji and North China regions, and their existence was rather awkward. Seriously speaking, although he was a Jin-Cha-Ji unit and a unit in the sequence of the North China Field Army, he had previously been receiving orders from Deng Guo, commander of the Yi-Re-Liao Military Region, to cooperate with the Northeast battlefield.

After conquering Tianjin, Yang Quanwu is now full of confidence.

Now, Beiping was the only city left in Hebei. Furthermore, Hou Jingru, the most powerful figure in Beiping, was currently negotiating with the People's Liberation Army and was considering an uprising. Therefore, Yang Quanwu knew that taking Beiping was the next logical step.

He did not want the 13th and 14th columns to come and snatch the fruits of victory. The capture of Beijing could be left to the three main corps of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region: the st Corps, the nd Corps, and the th Corps.

Wei Hongjun also understood their thoughts.

Although Jidong was also under the jurisdiction of Hebei, it was a unit that had always been independent. Since Yang Quanwu and his men had such an attitude, Wei Hongjun would not say anything. Wei Hongjun was also unlikely to have any disputes with Yang Quanwu and his men for the Jidong troops.

"Then have the 13th and 14th columns stationed in Tianjin, and all other troops evacuate Tianjin within three days. Next, let's discuss the arrangements for the Tianjin Military Control Commission."

Military control committees are temporary arrangements.

Until stability is achieved, the city will be under military control. Once the Pingjin Campaign is over, the military control committee will naturally end. Yang Quanwu was the first to speak up about this issue. "Director of the Tianjin Military Control Committee, I think Comrade Bao Shen and Comrade Li Fangqi will be enough," he said.

"not good."

Wei Hongjun shook his head.

"Although we are strong in North China, the Kuomintang still has many troops throughout the country. After we capture Peking, the troops should continue to move south. At that time, the 13th and 14th columns will have a heavier workload. Therefore, they should strengthen their training in peacetime.

"Secretary Wei, what do you think?"

Wang Zhi asked Wei Hongjun.

Wei Hongjun looked at Wang Zhi and said, "Comrade Wang Zhi, my idea is that you temporarily serve as the director of the Tianjin Military Control Commission. Comrade Li Fangqi, director of the Jidong Administrative Office, will serve as deputy director to assist you in your work.

"I?"

Wang Zhi was stunned.

Wang Zhi hadn't expected Wei Hongjun to mention his name. Wei Hongjun nodded and said, "Comrade Wang Zhi did an excellent job taking over Shimen. Not only did no problems arise, but he also quickly stabilized Shimen. Currently, the Military Control Commission's primary responsibility is to take over various departments, suppress the Kuomintang reactionaries' military, police, and special agents, and protect the normal operation of the economy. Specific policy issues will be further issued by the Central Committee and the North China Bureau."

Wang Zhi was just shocked at first.

But he quickly said: "If the organization trusts me, I will accept the order.

"Old Wang, you can."

Yang Quanwu supports it.

After discussing the Tianjin situation, Yang Quanwu said, "The Battle of Peking is about to begin. Tell me, should we use our artillery? The Central Committee has asked us not to destroy the ancient capital of Peking, but how can we fight without destruction? Peking is full of elite Nationalist troops. How can we fight if we don't fire our artillery?"

We have all been fighting on the battlefield for many years.

I have seen life and death, and I have seen battlefields. No ancient capital is an ancient capital, and no cultural relic is a cultural relic.

The so-called ancient city wall of Peking, which many people cherished in the new millennium, was not that important in the eyes of frontline generals like Yang Quanwu. In recent years, many city walls have been blown up in battles.

The same is true for Wei Hongjun.

What's wrong with the city wall?

In my past life, I'd been online and felt sorry for this and that, but in this time and space, after ten years of fighting so many battles, I really don't have time for pretentiousness.

The same is true of the ancient city wall of Peking in Wei Hongjun's eyes.

It doesn't matter if I have it or not. I don't think it's that important.

So Wei Hongjun said: "Use it, of course. If we don't use the artillery, how can we attract the outer troops of the National Army and create an opportunity for Hou Jingru to revolt? Of course, we still need to pay attention to one thing. The artillery should not be extended inside. The artillery should be used on the outer positions."

“There are many problems with attacking Peking.

Yang Quanwu nodded.

We can't fight with all our might, we can only fight in a timid way, which is frustrating. Wei Hongjun continued, "Now let's discuss how to reorganize these rebellious Nationalist troops. The Central Committee has already given us two corps of the North China Field Army, and if Hou Jingru can really lead the troops to revolt and save the ancient capital of Peking, then he will be given the position of corps commander. But this corps cannot be composed entirely of rebellious Nationalist troops.

Wei Hongjun looked at Yang Quanwu and said with a smile, "Old leader, you have the most experience in this area. However, reorganizing a force of this size is not an easy task."

If we were to ask who was the best at annexing other troops in Jinchayi, Yang Quanwu would undoubtedly be the best. Although Wei Hongjun also liked to annex other troops, he mostly "annexed" troops within the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army.

But when it comes to annexing other people's troops, Yang Quanwu is definitely the most experienced.

When he annexed the civilian anti-Japanese armed forces in Hebei, some of the troops even had tens of thousands of people. However, Yang Quanwu was able to reorganize these troops in a short period of time, allowing them to quickly become the Eighth Route Army, and in the process, no major problems occurred.

This is the skill.

The Jin-Cha-Ji Third Division entered Hebei earlier than the First Division, but they were slow to act and failed to quickly reorganize the Hebei civilian anti-Japanese forces. However, after entering Hebei, Yang Quanwu acted with remarkable swiftness. In a matter of seconds, he had reorganized tens of thousands of Hebei civilian anti-Japanese forces. By the time the Third Division reacted, Yang Quanwu had completely wiped out the local anti-Japanese forces in western Hebei.

Yang Quanwu smiled and said, "I really don't have much experience in reorganizing so many troops. But I think we can learn from Chen Cheng and learn the methods of the Civil Engineering Department."

"Chen Cheng's Civil Engineering Department?"

"Yes. How does Chen Cheng's civil engineering department swallow up other people's troops? For example, if he wants to swallow up an army, he will mix it up. He will transfer a division from his own direct line to this army, and then appoint a senior officer as the division commander. After he went to this army, Chen Cheng used tricks to transfer the original army commander, and then chose this division commander as the army commander. Then he expanded the army with this division as the main force, and slowly swallowed up the original troops. Of course, we are the People's Liberation Army and cannot do the same as Chen Cheng. But we can also learn from their approach. Disband the entire Kuomintang army in the city of Beiping, mainly abolishing the original corps and army-level organization. Stuff these Kuomintang divisions into our column organization. In this way, each of our columns can become two divisions of our troops and one division of the Kuomintang reorganized troops. After the troops are incorporated into the columns, the brigades of the columns will be mixed up. In this way, the original organization of the Kuomintang troops can be completely broken up.

Wei Hongjun nodded.
