Originally, it was for the unfair treatment of his old subordinates that Xingshi asked the two soldiers who came to the army. Seeing Yang Zhen's tough attitude, he was dumbfounded. And the meaning of the center in the left sentence and the attitude of the center in the other sentence blocked the two people speechless.

They came to Yang Zhen this time, not because they had any standard thinking, nor because they were against the central government. It's just a simple grievance for his old subordinates. Now although Yang Zhen has pulled the central one to make a tiger skin, his relatively straightforward explanation has made them speechless.

Yang Zhen was not wrong, none of his old subordinates had received formal military education. Although he is good at guerrilla warfare, his basic military literacy is obviously insufficient. Given that the original purpose of the Central Committee in setting up this Korean independence force was not to cultivate a guerrilla force, this shortcoming was indeed a major shortcoming.

However, after all, the cadres from the First Route Army are their old subordinates, and although their military literacy is somewhat lacking, they have followed him to fight guerrilla warfare for many years, and they can be regarded as having worked hard and made great achievements. If you can't help fight for it, how will you bring this army in the future? When people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to gather.

What's more, although the North Koreans in China are Chinese party members, they are North Koreans after all. It is still necessary to consider their inner feelings and national pride.

Looking at the somewhat embarrassing scene, as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau in charge of the work in the Northeast, the commander-in-chief could only persuade: "It's not that the cadres of the First Route Army don't need it, but under the current situation that they still need to strengthen their own study, it is not appropriate to choose them to serve as the division commander and political commissar." ”

"I think you also understand the meaning of the central government: for the liberation of Korea, a division with only a few hundred troops is far from enough. Sooner or later, this Korean independent division will be expanded, and when they finish studying, there will still be a chance. But now their main task is to learn how to mobilize the masses and receive a more advanced military education. ”

After being silent for a long time, Wei Zhengmin said: "Commander Yang, we didn't come to you this time because of any standardism. I just hope that when you appoint cadres, you can have a bowl of water evenly. Think more about these cadres who have persevered in the test of seven years of arduous guerrilla warfare in the northeast. ”

"Don't hurt the hearts of our cadres, especially those who have been fighting bloodily on the front line for many years. This person's heart is scattered, and it will be difficult to reunite. Although we do not pay attention to fame, fortune, and official positions, we still need to take proper care of our veteran comrades in the selection and appointment of cadres. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zhengmin smiled bitterly and said to Yang Zhen: "Also, Commander Yang, I know that you are the secretary in charge of military work of the Northeast Bureau appointed by the Central Committee. But when it comes to the adjustment of the cadres of the First Route Army, would it be better for you to say hello to us in advance in the future? ”

"Even if the Central Committee of this North Korean Independent Division has the intention of being assigned to the Jidong Military Region, this backbone is all from the First Army. Well, you've got to prepare us too, don't you? We must always select people to replace the cadres who have been adjusted. ”

Facing the tone of this respected political commissar who was half critical and half discussed, and also knew that he had done something excessive, Yang Zhen touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Political Commissar Wei, this matter is a little frizzy because I did it, and I have not thought about many things, please forgive me." ”

"It's just that the reason why I did this is not clear at this time. But if we can all live to the day when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is victorious, and to the day when the revolution succeeds. At that point, I think you'll understand why I'm doing this, and you'll forgive me. ”

Yang Zhen has made it clear that he will never compromise on this issue, and Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin can only acquiesce. This Commander Yang is young and young, although in addition to military problems, other things are basically a hands-off shopkeeper. But the key point cannot be said to be stubborn, but it is also very arbitrary.

The matter has been decided, the list has been submitted to the central authorities, and the DPRK cadres transferred from Guannai have arrived at the headquarters of the Northeast Bureau. Even if the two of them oppose it again, they can only acquiesce now. It's just that the two of them acquiesced and were silent, and the atmosphere at the scene was even more embarrassing.

After a long time, Yang Jingyu said: "Commander Yang, we have been going north for a few months. In the past few months, we have been taking care of you all the way. Although it cannot be said that the troops are strong and strong, the troops are now fully equipped, have sufficient ammunition, and their military quality has also increased by a large margin. ”

"When we went north, we left a unit in South Manchuria to persist in the struggle. After the end of your autumn campaign, the Japanese puppet army could not help you, but intensified its efforts to eliminate them who were still insisting in South Manchuria. Not only have the frequency of going into the mountains to clear and suppress the areas become more and more frequent, but the control of the guerrilla areas has become more and more tight, and the number of troops entering the mountains to clear and suppress has also become larger and larger. ”

"After the main force moved north, only one of their troops remained in the South Manchurian region and was still holding on. Without the cooperation of other troops, it was really difficult to hold on to them in Nanman. Now that we're almost rested, it's time to join them. After all, we are the troops of our First Army, and we cannot leave them alone. Moreover, the anti-Japanese banner of South Manchuria must not fall. ”

At this time, Yang Jingyu proposed that the First Army return to South Manchuria, which made the atmosphere at the scene even more embarrassing. Maybe he was afraid that the Northeast Bureau, especially the commander-in-chief and Yang Zhen, would have any ideas, but Yang Jingyu explained in detail: "Commander Yang, I'm not afraid that you have any thoughts about the First Army. The troops of the First Route Army are also the ranks of the party, not me, Yang Jingyu, personally. If necessary, it would not hurt to merge all the First Army into the Jidong Military Region. ”

"But Commander Yang, Nanman's shape can't continue to deteriorate. When we go back, although we cannot completely change the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can at least contain the possibility that the situation in South Manchuria will continue to deteriorate. Continue to fight the banner of resistance against Japan in South Manchuria. The banner of resistance against Japan in South Manchuria cannot be overturned, and even if there is only one person left, we must persist in it; this is the task entrusted to us by the party, and it is also the mission entrusted to us by history. ”

Regarding Yang Jingyu's idea of returning to South Manchuria, Yang Zhen directly vetoed it without considering it: "No, it's not the time for the First Army to return now." Now that you go back, under the condition that the Japanese puppet army has completed the plan of returning to the cantonment and merging households, the replenishment of food and ammunition, and the placement of the wounded have become problems. ”

"Besides, the First Road Army has the strength of five companies. Now nearly one-third of the troops have been transferred to the Korean Independent Division. The remaining two or three hundred people didn't make a difference when they went back, but instead consumed their already weak strength. It's not a question of whether the red flag won't fall. ”

"The First Army has fought hard in South Manchuria for so long, and the rest of these people are old bones that have been tested for a long time, and they are also the essence of the First Army, and they are the basis for the future expansion of the First Army. You must not suffer a needless loss anymore. No matter how big the losses of the troops are, as long as the foundation is still there, they can recover. But if the foundation is not beaten, there is no hope of recovery. ”

When Yang Zhen said this, he looked at Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin very sincerely: "Commander Yang, Political Commissar Wei, I have a lot of problems, but there is one thing that I think I still do well, and my grasp of the overall situation is barely qualified." I understand your feelings. But now is not the time to go back. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Yang also said just now, the Japanese puppet army has now dispatched a large number of troops to seize the time to repeatedly clean up South Manchuria, and the shape of South Manchuria is even worse than when you went north. You went, in front of the superior strength of the Japanese puppet army, even if there was enough ammunition, what about food and soldiers? How to solve the placement of the wounded? There is no food, and hunger will destroy you. There is no replenishment of troops, and the drag will bring you down. ”

"I have no objection to you wanting to go back, but now is not the time...... At the very least, we will wait until the air force we are building has the ability to launch at night and can provide supplies for your airdrops at any time. Not only can you not leave now, but Cao Yafan's department, which I have left in South Manchuria to persist in the struggle, must also shrink and take a hidden rest. ”

"I left enough winter clothes, food, and ammunition in the old black top secret camp, enough to sustain your remaining troops for the winter. I will build yì your left-behind troops to withdraw to the old black top secret to recuperate, and when your main force goes south in the spring of next year, they will be dispatched to cooperate with the battle. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said: "Commander-in-Chief Yang, Political Commissar Wei, we don't talk darkly. Do you think the Japanese army will watch us occupy the puppet Manchurian province of Sanjiang and be indifferent? You've been dealing with little devils for so long, have you ever seen a devil who turned back after hitting the south wall? ”

"The devils are not doing anything to us now, not because they don't want to, but because they don't have enough troops. They knew that the liquidation of the puppet Manchurian army in the Jidong Military Region was basically useless, and if they wanted to recapture the Sanjiang area, they could only mobilize the main force of the Kwantung Army to fight. However, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the previous stage, and in fact it was unable to launch another purge against us in a short period of time. ”

"To tell the truth, the reason why we are now able to eliminate the non-stop training of troops in the Sanjiang area is because the Kwantung Army is still wiping its wounds and has no time to take care of us. But once it's done, they won't sit idly by and ignore us. The Japanese army has always called Manchuria and Mongolia its lifeline. Can they allow their so-called lifeline to exist in danger of jeopardizing their overall strategy? ”

"During this period, we were seizing the time to expand and retrain the troops, and the Japanese army did not stay and did nothing. The Kwantung Army is now moving its troops extremely frequently, and it is not only seizing the time to replenish the divisions and regiments that were disabled in the previous stage, but also seizing the time to form new divisions and regiments. The Japanese army relied on the support of Japan's strong national strength, and the speed of replenishment was much faster than ours. ”

"According to the information we have received, the Japanese army base camp has assigned the ninth and twelfth old standing divisions to the Kwantung Army sequence. The Sixth Division is also preparing to be transferred from the Kannai battlefield to the northeast. In the name of recuperation, who can guarantee that they will not go to war if necessary? ”

"In addition, the Japanese army is seizing the time to form a large number of new divisions. As far as we know, there are only four three-unit field divisions and regiments of the 28th, 29th, 51st, and 57th units that are assigned to the Kwantung Army. Its First Tank Wing stationed at Gongzhuling has been replenished and is ready to be expanded into the First Tank Division and moved to Mudanjiang. ”

"Moreover, according to the expansion plan of the Japanese army's base camp, the aviation of the Kwantung Army will be greatly expanded, and the number of combat aircraft will reach more than 1,000. These new divisions were in addition to the remnants of the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 14th, and 23rd Divisions and the 2nd, 24th, and 25th Divisions that were already in Manchuria, as well as the 1st Tank Division, which was currently in formation. ”

"By the middle of next year at the latest, the Kwantung Army will have an establishment of 14 field divisions, a tank division and some independent mixed brigades, as well as some field heavy artillery, anti-aircraft artillery and other special forces. Not counting the independent garrison and the border garrison, the strength of the field division alone reached 300,000 or 400,000 people. ”

"Even if most of these new divisions are aimed at Jiangbei, even if one-third of their troops are aimed at us, it will reach more than 100,000 people. The Japanese army has not started for a long time, and it is estimated that they are waiting for the arrival of these newly formed troops. Next year, what awaits us will be a bloody battle on an unprecedented scale. ”

"In our opinion, the Japanese army will not wait for all the divisions to be ready to move. According to the usual habit of the Japanese army, when the replenishment division is two-thirds, they will make up their minds to attack us. That is to say, by the beginning of spring next year at the latest, the Japanese army will launch a full-scale attack on us. ”

"So I hope you can stay and keep the vitality of the army. When the Japanese army mobilizes a large number of troops to attack us on all fronts next year, we will go south and use the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, which you are good at, to cooperate with us on the frontal battlefield. Stir their rear upside down and break the all-out attack of the Japanese army. ”

"Next year will be the year that will determine the life and death of our Jidong Military Region and even the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation. If we do a good job, we may change the situation of the entire Northeast War of Resistance. If we don't fight well, all our achievements will be ruined, and we will be wiped out. ”

"Without the containment of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, it will be very difficult for us to fight frontally with the dispersion of Japanese forces. So I hope, no, that I beg you both to stay and not act rashly. Maintain the last bit of vitality of the First Route Army and help us to protect Sanjiang, the only stable anti-Japanese base in the northeast. ”

There is nothing to hide from these two Yang Zhen, and he directly told the grim enemy situation that he will face next year. His words were definitely not alarmist, let alone add to them. It's a real, genuine truth.

This Kwantung Army's expansion plan for next year is the first piece of information sent back by Nomura Iwa, who took the initiative to surrender, after he was put back, and the level in the military region is top secret. Except for Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun, and Chen Long, even the commander-in-chief did not know about this information. Today, in order to stay in the army, he can't care about continuing to keep it secret. In Yang Zhen's view, the First Army's return to South Manchuria now is almost tantamount to suicide. And this situation, he will never allow to happen.
