229. Telegram of Governance
Including Gao Erwa, there are 62 people in the team. Since he decided to spend the winter behind enemy lines before leaving, Bai Shujie decided to go back to downsizing. After a meeting between Bai Shujie, Xiao Lamei, Wang Xinlan, Wei Chong and Zhao Sanbao, in order to enter the battle at any time and facilitate command, Zuihou determined the downsizing plan.
Headquarters: Bai Shujie, Xiao Lamei, Wang Xinlan Combat Platoon: Platoon Leader Wei Chong, Deputy Platoon Leader Zhao Sanbao Combat Squad 1 (17 people): Squad Leader Wang Sanju Combat Squad 2 (17 people): Squad Leader Yang Manchu Combat Squad 3 (17 people): Squad Leader Zhang Erleng Heavy Squad (6 people): Squad Leader Chen Dazhu died because of the death of 13 brothers, so there were 13 more war horses. There were 9 Oriental horses and 32 pack horses brought out from Daqingshan, 9 mules were added to Weiziyu, and 18 mules were added to Fengcheng in the first battle. Now there are 22 air horses, 32 pack horses, and 27 mules.
9 92 infantry guns (900 rounds of high-explosive grenades), 6 unopened mortars, 2 Type 92 heavy machine guns (4,800 rounds of ammunition), and 10 boxes of grenades were brought out from Daqingshan. In addition, the squad was armed with 8 guns, 35 light machine guns and 12 submachine guns. Another 13 shell guns were seized at Weiziyu.
Therefore, in the current Tianhua Mountain, there are only 62 people in the whole team, but the number of light and heavy weapons has exceeded the number of people, and the number of mules and horses has also exceeded the number of people.
Fortunately, the mules and horses are trained, and they can all be taken away as long as the reins are hung on the saddle in front of them during the journey.
Bai Shujie, Wei Chong, and Zhao Sanbao deliberated for a long time, and Zuihou decided that each combat squad should be equipped with 6 crooked handles and 4 submachine guns. This facilitates maneuvering and ensures instantaneous assault fire. As for the little devil winter clothes seized this time, there are three sets for each person. Wear one set as a cover for two.
The 32 pack horses trained by the little devils were specially used to carry infantry guns and shells. Twenty-seven mules were ready to carry mountain guns and shells, and 22 horses were loaded with mortars, heavy machine guns and other supplies.
Everything was almost done, Bai Shujie gave an order, and all the members immediately harvested the forage. More than 100 mules and horses, a few months is amazing! If enough forage is not prepared before heavy snow closes the mountain, it will surely be catastrophic. Therefore, mules and horses need forage first, and people need firewood second.
Everything was ready, and Bai Shujie finally decided to send a telegram to Rehe to briefly inform him of his situation. At the same time, an overall deployment will be made for the next work of Rehe. This was an extra-long message, and it took Xiao Lamei two hours to send it. The main content includes eight aspects:
First of all, the work of the Rehe anti-Japanese government: with the rotation of the main combat force of the little devils, the military pressure is now slightly reduced, so we should seize this favorable opportunity to improve the management institutions at all levels in Rehe and comprehensively implement all administrative work.
Especially with the advent of winter, the government must have complete statistics on the livelihood of ordinary people. Appropriate relief measures should be taken for families living in extreme poverty. There must not be a single starvation or freezing death. Severely crack down on saboteurs who hoard, raise prices, and disrupt the market, and focus on punishing capitalists, farmers, and princes of various banners who oppose the government.
The Rehe Anti-Japanese Nationalities Government was instructed to come up with a plan as soon as possible and to carry out a comprehensive "Second Five-Year Plan Rent Reduction" campaign starting next year to ensure that farmers and herdsmen can benefit from the benefits. In the process of work, we should conditionally take care of the actual situation of the nation. However, for those who violate the basic principle of "resisting Japan and saving the country," no matter what their origins or nationality, they will all be punished on the spot and will not be tolerated!
The second is the military and political work of the Rehe Front: at present, the front-line combat missions have decreased, and the combat duty on the border line has become more important. The reconnaissance units of Xiangshang on all sides must step up their actions and earnestly grasp the new movements of the enemy in front of them. The large-scale winter training should be deployed and implemented.
We must always persist in the ideological concept of "forgetting the war and dying if we forget it" and the work style of "sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime" and we must always stress it every day. Zhao Jinxi was instructed to take the lead, and Gan Tong assisted in setting up an inspection team to conduct on-site inspections of each division and regiment. Officers in charge of units that engage in fraud are dismissed on the spot.
Third, with the entry into force of the "Tanggu Agreement" and the retreat of the southern government's troops in great strides, the First Rehe Garrison Division must immediately adjust its troop deployment. Focus on strengthening the garrison on the front line from Fengning to Duolun, and closely monitor the enemy in the direction of Jining and Suiyuan. Cut off the railway transportation line to prevent the little devils from using the railway to quickly mobilize troops.
Fourth, it is necessary to focus on building a logistical support system and field hospitals, especially the Chifeng Field Hospital, and we must improve all kinds of facilities as soon as possible and reserve a sufficient number of medical equipment and medicines. We should continue to strengthen the ideological and moral education of medical personnel and staff, and firmly establish a work style of serving the frontline and soldiers.
Fifth, there must not be the slightest paralysis in the security work in the base areas, and the work of opposing special forces and traitors should be strengthened to prevent the enemy from infiltrating and causing trouble. In particular, when all kinds of rumors appear, we must trace the source and severely punish the hostile elements who spread rumors and cause trouble. Establish a system of "entry and exit permits" and instruct the armed militia to strictly enforce them, and certify and not recognize people.
Sixth, it is necessary to strengthen the building of supplementary brigades and militia contingents in the Chengde, Chifeng, and Sanxiandong base areas. Further improve the air defense system and evacuation mechanism to prevent the enemy from sabotaging from the air. Before the heavy snow closes the mountain, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the various passages in and out of the Sanxian Cave to eliminate all possibilities of the enemy's covert infiltration.
Seventh, it is necessary to comprehensively improve the three-tier circular defense system stretching from the Panjiakou Great Wall in the west, to Chaoyang and Jianping in the east, and to the Naiman Banner in the north. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the quality of the project, and strictly prohibit the occurrence of tofu slag projects! As soon as it is found, it will be beheaded immediately for public display!
To further improve the fighting and living conditions of the front-line alert troops, the supply of coal in winter should first satisfy the front-line commanders and fighters, and the front-line should be provided with the most adequate logistical support. A certain number of people can be recruited to participate in the construction of front-line fortifications in winter, but ensure that full wages are paid every day, and they must not be forced.
Eighth, with the enhancement of the status of the Rehe Front, the headquarters of the Front Army must strengthen the supervision and management of the contingent of cadres and improve the evaluation mechanism of the contingent of cadres. We must put an end to "arrogance and arrogance" and prevent a few individuals from isolating themselves from the masses and damaging the image of the anti-Japanese military and government. Commanders at all levels who violate military discipline and regulations will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!
Because the telegram signed by Bai Shujie was sent on November 9, 1933, the Rehe Anti-Japanese ** Government and the Rehe Front Army were designated as the "November Call".
This is a programmatic guiding opinion on the construction of the Rehe army, the people, and the government, and it is also the most important document in the history of the Rehe Anti-Japanese National Government and the Rehe Front Army.
After the meeting, Zhao Jinxi, Gan Tong, and Cao Fengxiang decided to immediately convene a meeting of all cadres at and above the department level and at and above the head of the unit to comprehensively implement the spirit of the commander-in-chief's instructions.
It was not until today that these core figures truly understood that Weishenme Bai Shujie was not afraid of hardships and dangers and would personally lead the team to carry out strategic reconnaissance behind enemy lines.
Because only when the commander-in-chief personally goes out can he analyze specific problems in detail and make decisions at any time according to the situation on the spot. It is precisely because of a series of dazzling big movements of the squad in the heart of the enemy that it finally completely diverted the enemy's attention and won a rare development opportunity for Rehe!
In his previous work, Bai Shujie said a lot and wrote little. However, the appearance of written materials this time systematically reflected Bai Shujie's guiding ideology, and truly established Bai Shujie's historical status as "the first person in Rehe", and Bai Shujie's prestige reached an unprecedented peak.
The "November call" unified people's minds and pointed out the direction of future struggle. It is a programmatic document that has made unified plans and arrangements for the next military, civilian, and political aspects.
Beginning with the "November call," the Rehe Anti-Japanese National Government and the Rehe Front Army had their own principles and program of action. The next task is to divide the military, civilian, and political sectors into three areas, and formulate various detailed implementation rules in accordance with this program, so as to implement the spirit of the call.
Through the transmission of the spirit at various levels, the two lines of military and political work in Rehe went hand in hand, setting off an upsurge of studying the spirit of the commander-in-chief's instructions and implementing the commander-in-chief's orders. After the personal attention of Governor Cao Fengxiang, all the public opinion media in Rehe Province were all headlined: "Practice the spirit of the commander-in-chief's instructions with practical actions, and deepen the work of the military and civil affairs!" ”
Zhao Jinxi was born as a scholar and has a broad vision and an overall strategic vision. She knows that now is a rare opportunity, and if it works well, it can achieve better results. At the same time, I also hope that my sweetheart will become a god and establish an unbreakable image in people's minds.
After some careful planning, Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong had an in-depth exchange of views, and then, in the name of the Front Army Headquarters and the Garrison Command, jointly issued to the whole army the "Key Points on Launching 'Actual Combat Training to Actively Carry Out New-style Military Training, Start Everything with Me and Start Now, and Report to the Commander-in-Chief with Outstanding Results."
After urgent consultations, the Internal Security Bureau of Sheng Zhiguo, Qin Yuefang, Yang Erya, and Cao Sanjiang, in the name of the Rehe Provincial Public Security Department, issued the "Action Guidelines for Closely Rally Around the Commander-in-Chief, Protect the Fruits of Our Victory, and Comprehensively Carry Out a Mass Anti-Gang Rape Campaign."
A huge mass movement was launched in Rehe, but the person concerned, Bai Shujie, didn't actually think so much. He is just an "unpredictable prophet", and in the previous life, he knew that the little devil in the Northeast during this time period was the weakest time.
Because the main combat division of the little devil has suffered great losses in the past two years, especially several divisions and regiments that have collided head-on with the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment, they have basically been injured. Therefore, all of them must be transferred back to the island in turn, and then the equipment will be updated and the troops will be reorganized, and then the new "North China Strategy" can be implemented in accordance with the established steps.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
