Yang Zhen finished talking about the use of Liu Changshun. He also struck while the iron was hot, and simply told all his ideas for improving training and the overall strategic ideas for a period of time in the future. Anyway, sooner or later, it has to be said, and it's better to say it early than late. At least let others be mentally prepared.

Compared with Yang Zhen's eloquent talk, Li Yanping and Gao Yumin, who have never heard of him before, and even have some whimsical ideas in the eyes of others, and their thinking is obviously a little unable to keep up, can only smile relatively wordlessly.

Compared with the Production and Construction Corps, a semi-military organization that is well understood by the army and the people, Li Yanping is a little confused about what imaginary enemy troops there are in this large-scale comprehensive training base.

The troops have now engaged in many large-scale battles with the Japanese army, and they can be said to be familiar with their tactics. In such a situation, is it still useful to form an imaginary enemy unit with Japanese prisoners of war? And even if it is useful, how can these purely Japanese troops be managed? When dispensing equipment, do you issue ammunition?

If you don't send ammunition, is that still a real combat exercise? Ammunition can be fired, what about this security? A heavily armed Japanese army brigade is inside its own base area, which everyone will worry about. Moreover, does this so-called actual combat training still need real guns? Will it bring heavy casualties to the troops? These are all questions that must be taken into account.

As for synthetic tactical training, wouldn't it be better to conduct it at the stations of the respective troops? Why bother tossing the troops back and forth, what if the troops are transferred back to participate in training, and there is a problem ahead? There are also a large number of troops gathered in one place, what if there is a Japanese air raid?

Compared with this training base, Li Yanping still understands Yang Zhen's production and construction corps very well. In Guo Bingxun's view, this so-called production and construction corps is very similar to the wartime communist method of fighting during the civil war in Soviet Russia, in which all the people are soldiers. As for what kind of large-scale comprehensive training base Yang Zhen wants to set up, and what imaginary enemy troops to form, Li Yanping thinks that this is somewhat excessive.

Looking at Li Yanping, who was confused, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Political commissar, this kind of thing about the establishment of a synthetic training base, although I can't explain the benefits for a while." However, I can assure you of one thing: With this training base, as long as our rules and regulations are strictly followed, I believe that the training level of our army can be raised on a large scale in a short period of time. This point, after the construction of the base is completed, you will naturally see it. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Li Yanping waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Okay, old Yang, don't explain it to me anymore." I'm dazed by your whimsical thoughts, but I understand one thing. This division will occupy a very important position, at least in the overall pattern of the military region in the future. That's why you transferred Liu Changshun to the commander of any division, right? ”

"Okay, I agree. But there is one point, Liu Changshun is a kid who is easy to admit to death. I'm not going to talk to him. At least until I figure out the purpose of your training base, you'd better have to talk about it. Don't make me angry because I don't know much about it. Okay, let's move on to the next topic. ”

Seeing that Li Yanping finally agreed with his opinion, Yang Zhen smiled and said obediently: "The matter is basically almost studied. At present, we have not yet decided on the choice of commanders of these remaining military divisions. ”

"In accordance with the unified arrangements of the Central Committee, Comrade Choe Seok-chun, commander of the 2nd Division, will be transferred to work in the Korean Independent Division, which is being formed. The military and political chiefs of the newly established four sub-districts have not yet been appointed. Commissar, what do you have to say about these two districts? I'd like to hear your advice first. ”

Li Yanping heard Yang Zhen ask himself, glared at him and said, "I said Lao Yang, you are not authentic." Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei have decided to be demoted and transferred from the field army to serve in the military sub-division. So what else is there to look into? Wouldn't it be enough to let them serve as commanders and political commissars in the newly established Fourth Division? As for the Second Division, I think the deputy commander can act as the deputy commander for the time being. ”

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Political commissar, this newly established Fourth Division is not a simple military division. Its entire command structure was formed for the formation of a new third column in the future. Do you remember the shadow troops of those three brigades I talked about? I was prepared for this third column. ”

"Moreover, after the formation of this fourth division, when the main force retreats and reorganizes, it will be responsible for the entire defense from the Rao River to the junction of Huachuan and Yilan. After the newly formed brigades have completed their full training, they will also command the reorganized troops to go to the front line to conduct rotational battles and carry out strategic reconnaissance missions against the Japanese troops in Mishan and Hulin. ”

"On the surface, it is nothing more than the formation of a military division. In fact, this fourth division is responsible for the task of the column level. So the responsibility of this commander is heavy. I have no opinion on appointing Du Kaishan as commander of the military division. But let Tao Jingfei serve as the political commissar, this will not work. ”

"This time, Du Kaishan transferred him to the military sub-district to warn him that our tolerance is limited. And it's also to let him sober up, don't always be bold and reckless about the consequences. There's an adventurous spirit in him, and that's good. But when it comes to use, it never looks at the overall shape shì changes. This problem must be fixed, or it will ruin him one day. ”

As for Tao Jingfei, in addition to being a little too accommodating to Du Kaishan, he is not a master of peace. Instead of playing the role he should play as a political commissar, he played a role in fueling the flames many times. The two of them together, not only can they not play a role in restraining each other, but they have the smell of being a wolf. ”

"Du Kaishan's advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, his temperament is too wild, and he is like a wild horse that has escaped for a while. He must be assigned a political commissar who can control him, not a political commissar who indulges him in everything. Otherwise, sooner or later, one day, he will break into a monstrous disaster. ”

"Tao Jingfei has to be transferred, and he must not let the two of them build a team. Separate them, and it's also for the good of both of them. Doesn't Tao Jingfei love to fight? Then let him be reappointed as a military cadre, transferred to the commander of the 2nd Division, and as for the political commissar of the 4th Division, another person will be elected. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's thoughts, Li Yanping nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable. In this way, Comrade Huang Yuqing, the former political commissar of the Second Division and former chief of the political affairs department of the Second Route Army Headquarters, was the acting director of the Military and Political Affairs Department of the Fourth Army, the director of the Division Political Affairs Department, a member of the Jidong Provincial Party Committee, and the chief of the political affairs department of the Second Route Army. He has rich experience in struggle and is highly principled. In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to transfer him to the post of political commissar of the Fourth Division. ”

"After Huang Yuqing was transferred, I think the political commissar of the Second Division can be transferred to Guan Mingshan, the former director of the Political Department of the Third Brigade, to take over. Guan Mingshan is an old Red Army transferred from Guannai. During the Long March, he served as the director of the Youth League Administration Office for many years, and was very expert in political work. In my opinion, he is still a very suitable candidate to take over as a member of the Second Division's political committee. ”

For Huang Yuqing, Yang Zhen is still relatively familiar with Huang Yuqing since he got acquainted with the old black top secret camp. Although he looks easy-going on the outside, he is actually a person who is wide on the outside and strict on the inside. Transferring him to the Fourth Division as a political commissar is indeed a pretty good candidate. As for the political commissar of the second division, Yang Zhen had no objections.

After finally determining all the candidates except for the political commissar of the third division, Yang Zhen, who felt that it was already about the same, rubbed his eyes that seemed slightly astringent and said: "Political commissar, since the candidates for cadres at all levels have been decided, let's start implementing them tomorrow." Tomorrow morning, the two of us took time out to talk to cadres at all levels, and then asked them to seize the time to take up their posts. ”

"However, I still have to study the training base with Lao Guo, and the time is limited. In this way, except for Liu Changshun and Du Kaishan, the rest of the people are still dominated by you. As for the issue of the distribution of these newly transferred cadres in the Guannai, it is still up to you and Lao Gao to study it. In addition, you and Lao Gao still have to hurry up and decide on the candidates for the political commissar of the logistics department. As much as possible, they will be selected from among the cadres transferred from the Kannai. ”

"The other two columns, as well as the directors of the political departments of each brigade and other political cadres at all levels of the troops, you should also hurry up and come up with a list. If you are indeed talented, you can consider making an exception for promotion. During the war, there are not so many concerns. You look similar to Lao Gao, so settle down. Time waits for no one, and we don't have that much time to spare. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen hesitated a little and said, "As for the matter of the political commissar of the third division, after dinner, the two of us will study it separately." The 3rd Division, like the 4th Division, now has an important position in the military district, and the candidate for this commissar cannot always be vacant. ”

After Li Yanping heard this, he nodded slightly, but he mentioned a few other things that were delayed by Yang Zhen's gaffe a few days ago and said: "Commander, among the cadres transferred by the central government this time are 25 flight personnel who have completed their studies in the aviation team of the Xinjiang Shengshicai Institute, as well as 14 ground crews. ”

"Didn't we seize a batch of aircraft parts and part of aviation fuel in Jiamusi, as well as two complete transport aircraft and trainer aircraft? You see if we will build our own air force on this basis. ”

"You have always wanted to open up a direct line with the central government, and even did not hesitate to buy planes from Jiangbei at a large price, and asked Jiangbei to train air crews for us. Now the central authorities have sent a group of personnel to study aviation in Xinjiang, and we have ready-made planes at hand. ”

After that, Li Yanping took out a piece of paper full of lists from his pocket, handed it to Yang Zhen and said, "This is the list I specially asked for from the people who led the team." Good guys, these people have a lot of experience, they are all old Red Army veterans who have passed the test of life and death in the Hexi Corridor, and many of them are cadres at the regimental and battalion level. ”

After listening to Li Yanping talk about the cadres transferred by the central government, Yang Zhen patted his head and said with some regret: "These days, I have been thinking about the expansion of the army, and I have forgotten about this matter. We were sleepy when a pillow was brought to us in the center. That's great. ”

After that, Yang Zhen stood up and took Li Yanping's hand, and greeted Guo Bingxun and Gao Yumin beside him with some excitement: "Let's go, let's go see them." These are all valuable talents, and we can't afford to wait. ”

Seeing Yang Zhen's rare excited expression since Zhang Ting's sacrifice, Li Yanping pointed at him, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "They are not here now, go to Jiamusi to watch the plane." As soon as they arrived, they first inspected the two airfields of the Japanese army in Luobei and Fujin, as well as various facilities, and then went to Jiamusi. ”

"Jiamusi is too close to the Japanese-controlled area, and they are not at ease. I was in a hurry to go there, first, to see if I could still collect some aviation equipment. The other is to want to fly those planes to Luobei for concealment, for fear that these four treasures will be blown up by the Japanese air raid. ”

"Before leaving, I transferred a platoon from the reconnaissance battalion that had just returned to serve as a guard for them. In addition, Zhang Zhenhua also allocated them 20 trucks and two 50-watt high-power radios. One of the only two surveying and mapping staff officers at Headquarters will be assigned to accompany them. Each of them was also issued a Soviet-made pistol as a weapon of self-defense. ”

"You haven't been busy directing operations on the front line these days, and since you came back, you have been in retreat, and you can't lift your spirits for anything except pondering about the expansion of the troops."

"After this group of personnel arrived, Chai Shirong once mentioned to you that I hope you can meet them. But you're either unusually sleepwalking, you're just there pondering things. Chai Shirong asked you several times, but he didn't get a reply, so he could only come to me. ”

"There's no way, you kid can't listen to anything in those days, I can only deal with it with Lao Guo first, and I can't leave everyone there. Lao Guo and I have already confessed and tried our best to give them the best treatment. As for their requirements, as long as we have the conditions, we must meet them. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen habitually touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, weren't you thinking about the plan for the expansion of the army in those days?" Almost all of my head was occupied by this thing, and nothing else was of interest. However, Commissar, you are really a good Commissar for me. It's handled so well, and it can be regarded as helping me make up for my unintentional contempt. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said with some emotion: "In the past, we could only contact the central government through the north of the Jiangbei River, and this way to and from place was too far away, thousands of kilometers from east to west, not to mention the great delay in time. It is also unsafe to go back and forth through Xinjiang, Gansu and other areas controlled by the national government. ”

"Valuable things dare not be transported, and the exchange of personnel is also affected by the Jiangbei policy, which is strictly hindered. Now that we have this group of people, plus the two transport planes that were captured, as long as the problem of the route is solved, it will be regarded as solving our urgent needs. ”
