Chapter 616: Train in the Field
readx; The coal-burning steam locomotive billowed with thick smoke, pulling more than a dozen carriages behind it to gallop over the vast expanse of hills and fields. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition to his private carriages, there are also several luxury carriages for a group of military and political dignitaries who accompanied Chen Jingyun on his tour, as well as special conference carriages and dining carriages. In addition to Chen Jingyun's family and the accompanying dignitaries, there were also a large number of escorts accompanying them.
Sitting in the conference room, Chen Jingyun and Li Lianyang talked while drinking tea, Li Lianyang was also the first person to follow Chen Jingyun to start a business, he was one of the four officers in the second battalion, and then he was promoted to battalion commander, regiment commander and so on step by step with the rise of Chen Jingyun, if he did not have this qualification, how could he Li Lianyang be promoted to general after Zuo Yugang and others, and enter the State Military Commission.
"Now, although my strength in Korea has recovered to more than five divisions, I still don't have to worry about the threat on my way. In the war into Korea, our army annihilated at least 100,000 people, and now it is said, "This army has not been able to recover until now, and although the five divisions and regiments sent to Korea have a lot of troops, their combat strength is limited!" Li Lianyang served as the commander of the Eighth Army during the Sino-Chinese War and was one of the five lieutenant generals during the Sino-Chinese War.
In the Sino-Chinese War that year, his Eighth Army was the absolute main force, and the Eighth Army accounted for half of the hundreds of thousands of troops entering the DPRK, although the limelight was not as dazzling as the armored cluster, but whether it was breaking through the Yalu River, or breaking through the Qingchuan River, or the final Pyongyang Campaign, the Eighth Army had always been the main offensive task, and if there was no huge force of the Eighth Army to press up, an armored cluster alone would not be able to annihilate more than 100,000 Japanese troops.
After talking about his military exploits, Li Lianyang thought that he was much stronger than Liang Xunqin, the commander of the Third Army who attacked Lushun that year, but when he was promoted to general for the first time after the war, Zuo Yugang and Liang Xunqin were among them, but he Li Lianyang did not. This made him still very unconvinced at the time, but Chen Jingyun was not partial, in 1925 when the Congress eased, Chen Jingyun was once again elected chairman of the State Military Commission without suspense, he transferred Li Lianyang into the State Military Commission as a member, so Li Lianyang was naturally promoted to general.
In the past, the heads of various ministries were also members of the Central Committee of the State Military Commission, and there were not only generals but also lieutenant generals. But when the term was changed in 1920, the Central Committee of the State Military Commission was reduced to only one general. After 1925, the Central Committee members of the State Military Commission were still all generals, that is, China's nine active generals, and in addition to Ma Cheng as chief of staff and Li Jimin as China's commander in Russia, the other seven generals, including Shen Gang and Li Lianyang, did not hold other part-time positions.
For them, their official position is "members of the State Military Commission", and this is different from the Marshal's Office, which is just an honorary title, but most of these military commissars in China will still guide some specific military affairs, although there is no formal appointment, but they will pay attention to a certain aspect of work, for example, Zuo Yugang focuses on armored forces, while Li Lianyang focuses on the work of Northeast China and North Korea.
According to Chen Jingyun's thinking, the reason why these generals were concentrated in the State Military Commission was naturally that he did not want them to continue to stay in the field troops in peacetime and exert a huge influence, and when war really broke out, Chen Jingyun would set up high-level command organs such as group armies and theaters, and then appoint these generals as commanders. As for peacetime, these military bigwigs still stay by Chen Jingyun's side honestly, Chen Jingyun in the province is worried every day that those military bigwigs who lead heavy troops in the border areas will mutiny.
This time he came out for a nationwide inspection, Chen Jingyun brought a lot of people out, but because Chen Jingyun's formation time span is too large, and it is impossible for those bigwigs to accompany Chen Jingyun all the way slowly, so they are all one for a period of time, at the beginning it was Zuo Yugang, and then when he was in Shandong, it was Cheng Biguang of the navy, and now it is Li Lianyang's turn in Hebei.
Because Li Lianyang was stationed in the northeast region for a long time in his early years, and then served as the commander of the Eighth Army to fight in Korea, he is a senior general in the Chinese Army who knows more about the defense of the northeast.
Although China has not yet divided military regions as in later generations, there is a division of theaters, but in peacetime these theaters are only a code name, and there is no permanent command structure and relevant theater commanders, and the scope of the theater is not fixed, the most specific examples are the Northeast Theater and the Omsk Theater during the Sino-Chinese War. During the Sino-Chinese War, the Northeast Theater included the three northeastern provinces, the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Xindong Province recovered from Russia, that is, more than one million square kilometers of China's land forcibly occupied by Tsarist Russia under the Sino-Russian Treaty of Linghui and the Treaty of Yanjing, including the northern part of Sakhalin Island.
In the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nanjing, the two sides agreed to abolish all the treaties signed with China during the Tsarist era and sign the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nanjing, which stipulated that the northeastern boundary between the two sides would belong to the Republic of Russia beyond the Khing'an Mountains to the sea, the north belonged to the Russian Republic, the south belonged to China, the west side was bounded by the Ergun River, the southeast belonged to China, and the northwest belonged to the Russian Republic. The demarcation of the eastern border between the two sides was the case of the Treaty of Nebuchu.
The border in the direction of central Mongolia was drawn up in accordance with the Treaty of Kyakhta, while in the western part of Xinjiang Province, treaties such as the Treaty of Ili were abolished, and the border between China and Russia was based on the border between the two sides before 1860, with Lake Balkhash as the boundary.
Broadly speaking, the border between present-day China and the Russian Republic is as follows: the eastern part is governed by the Treaty of Nebuchu, which simply means that the area south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains belongs to China and the north belongs to Russia. The central part is based on the Treaty of Kyakhta, bounded by the southern part of Lake Belga, and the western part is based on the pre-1860 border, with Lake Balkhash as the benchmark.
In fact, when the Russian Provisional Government signed the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nanjing with China, the area west of this Xinjiang province was still in the hands of Soviet Russia, but China sent troops and Soviet Russian troops fought several battles in the Kazakh region before recovering this area. Further west, there is the zone controlled by the Russian Republic, which is already part of the military confrontation area of the front line.
This part of the area belongs to the Omsk Theater of Operations, in fact, this can also be called the Russian Theater of Operations, because this area belongs to the defense area of the Chinese troops stationed in Russia, including the Omsk and Kazakh regions.
In addition, China's theater of operations is only the division of the army itself, and has no jurisdiction over the air force and navy, the air force itself has its own set of regional expenses, and the navy has its own strategy. Even Shen Gang, commander of the Northeast Theater of the Chinese Army, had no way to directly mobilize the air force units stationed in Northeast China and Shandong, and he had negotiated with the Air Force to let the Air Force cooperate with the Army.
With the exception of the Northeast Theater and the Omsk Theater, China has not set up any theater of operations anywhere else. And even these two theaters of war were temporary surnames, which were revoked as soon as the war ended. The commander-in-chief of the Chinese troops stationed in Russia is a position, but there is no such organization as the Chinese Command in Russia, the reason for this position is that in order to allow a general with a high enough military rank to deal with the Russians, some joint deployment operations between the two sides are implemented, but Li Jimin, the commander of the Russian garrison, does not have the power to directly command all the troops stationed in Russia, just like in 1923. Similarly, Li Jimin, the commander stationed in Russia, did not directly command the operations in Omsk, but was directly commanded by the local military-level command, and the higher-level command structure was the State Military Commission.
Li Lianyang is relatively familiar with the affairs of the Northeast Defense Region, otherwise he would not have accompanied Chen Jingyun when he was inspecting the Northeast.
After saying a few words, Li Lianyang found that Chen Jingyun's interest was not high, and sure enough, as he thought, Chen Jingyun waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here today, we will talk about the affairs of North Korea tomorrow!" ”
After that, he walked out of the conference car, and then went to his own car, and before he could get there, he heard the voices of the first few women in front of him.
Chen Jingyun heard this voice, his face sank again and then he didn't continue to walk forward, just stood on the aisle, and then looked at the field outside the glass window, the terrain in the north began to flatten, the window looked out, you can see a large field, the field can also see farmers who are working from time to time, it is the beginning of spring, although it is still too cold for the north now, but the farmers are still working in the fields regardless of the severe cold weather, so it is said that it is the same all year round.
The train flew by, and Chen Jingyun couldn't see the people outside clearly, only to see a figure constantly flickering in front of him, and the scene in his eyes was constantly changing, but Chen Jingyun was always standing motionless, so that Yan Jing Kuang, who was following next to him, was curious about what Chen Jingyun was looking at.
Yanjing Kuang has long regarded himself as Chen Jingyun's closest subordinates, so after Chen Jingyun was no longer president, he also found Chen Jingyun and said that he hoped to continue to follow him. For Yan Jing Kuang, Chen Jingyun has also used it well over the years, and he doesn't want to change people around him casually, so he transferred Yan Jing Kuang from the Secretariat of the Presidential Palace, but he was not transferred to other departments of the political axe, and was transferred to the National Socialist Party as the deputy secretary general of the Central Committee, ostensibly to Qian Hanlang as a deputy, but Yan Jing Kuang followed Chen Jingyun every day as before, and completely continued to regard himself as Chen Jingyun's secretary.
Whenever he thought of this, Yan Jing Kuang felt that his choice was much clearer than that of Yu Shifeng and Chen Weitong.
Just when Yan Jing Kuang wondered what Chen Jingyun was looking at, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a woman in a light blue dress walking over from the door of the carriage. However, after this slightly furrowed look of his eyebrows disappeared, he changed into his professional smile, and then said to the woman: "Miss Lin! ”
Yan Jing Kuang opened his mouth, and while looking out the window, Chen Jingyun, who didn't know what to think, also turned his head, and the indifferent look on his face disappeared instantly after seeing this Lin Lin, and then changed to a smile: "Miss Lin, why did you come out, aren't you playing cards with your cousin?" ”
Lin Lin saw Chen Jingyun looking over, looked up at each other, and then quickly turned red and lowered his head: "I lost the fight just now, and now it's my sister-in-law's turn to fight!" ”
Looking at this woman's shy blush, Chen Jingyun's face remained unchanged: "Oh, you guys have fun, tell you Sister Yun, I'm going to have a meal with someone later, and I won't go over for dinner!" After saying that, Chen Jingyun turned around and went back to the conference car, then sat down and lit a cigarette.
Yan Jing Kuang on the side followed Chen Jingyun quietly, as Chen Jingyun's secretary, he knew that Chen Jingyun didn't have any arrangements now, let alone dining with others, and even the meeting ended early.
Although he didn't understand why Chen Jingyun was hiding from Lin Lin's woman, Yan Jing Kuang, as a secretary, had always followed the duty of a secretary, and immediately took the initiative to speak: "Will you let General Li come over for dinner, or let Elder Hong come over?" ”
Chen Jingyun waved his hand: "You don't need to find someone else, just the two of us can eat simply, don't stand, sit!" ,”
"That's a good idea!" Yan Jing Kuang smiled and saw Chen Jingyun's appearance, he didn't continue to be restrained, and lit a cigarette after sitting down opposite! Through the smoke, Yan Jing Kuang looked at Chen Jingyun, and thought to himself, what was so strange about Lin Lin's girl that she was able to make the chairman avoid her for several days in a row.
I can't figure it out!
