Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yang Zhen did give the First Army a large amount of weapons and equipment, and all of them were new. But Yang Zhen's equipment was not given in vain. He insisted on revising the establishment of the First Army, at least abolishing the nominal regiment-level organization.  .  [.Com text] The existing establishment will be compressed, focusing on the front-line combat troops, and all excess personnel will be enriched into the company.

    According to Yang Zhen¡¯s organization, the troops accompanying the Route Army Headquarters going north are only enough to form four to six companies.  If Yang Zhen's army was organized according to the organization, it would only be able to form three companies.  However, considering the special environment and combat nature of the First Army, Yang Zhen decided to first form five companies of 120 people, and the organization was slightly adjusted.

    Although the strength of the troops has shrunk, Yang Zhen's equipment is actually in accordance with the standards of his own army.  Each infantry company has three infantry platoons and nine infantry squads.  In addition to two light machine guns per platoon, there is also a fire support platoon equipped with three light machine guns.  Each infantry company is equipped with a total of nine crooked light machine guns, six grenade launchers, ninety-six Type 38 rifles, six speed machines, and eighteen Southern-style pistols.

    Compared with the equipment of Yang Zhen's infantry company, this firepower has almost no difference except that the number of rifles is slightly less due to the difference in troop strength and there are no submachine guns.  In terms of firepower intensity alone, it is almost as high as the previous division of the Army.

    After reorganizing the troops according to Yang Zhen's standards, although the First Army's establishment has been reduced, the strength and firepower of the grassroots combat companies have been greatly enriched.  The Liao-13, Shui Lianzhu, Norwegian-made 735, and even old sleeves, Hanyang-made and other miscellaneous equipment that were extremely short of bullet sources in the past have now been replaced by all-Japanese equipment that can easily use captured ammunition.

    In addition to the enrichment of the establishment and the upgrading and replacement of equipment, the troops heading north of the First Army also carried out training in accordance with the requirements of the central delegation and the army reorganization method of Yang Zhen's command, and adjusted the duties and powers of political cadres.

    In addition to being trained by military instructors sent by Yang Zhen¡¯s headquarters, and the cadres and backbones above the platoon entering the training team of the Jidong Military Region for rotation training, their troops also have to be sent by the central delegation to teach them guerrilla tactics.  In order to ensure that the First Army could persist in Southern Manchuria where the situation was more dangerous, Yang Zhen, with the support of the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the First Army, made drastic changes to the First Army.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s strict requirements made the military and political officials at all levels of the First Army march north dare not neglect it.  As soon as the meeting ended, they were all eager to return to their respective units.  Whether the troops can accept it when the equipment they have already obtained is taken back is one thing. The key is that they themselves cannot afford to lose face.

    After the regimental cadres left, only the central delegation and the top commanders of the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army were left at the meeting.  Compared with the previous announcement of the central government's decision, this meeting is the highlight of the entire situation in Northeast China.  Because this meeting involves matters related to the cooperation of the three anti-alliance armies in future operations.

    "But compared to the enthusiastic leadership of the First Route Army, the Third Route Army was very reluctant to this meeting.  He was very indifferent to Yang Zhen's idea of ??the three route armies cooperating with each other to establish a solid base in the northern Manchuria area as soon as possible.  Not only did he not say a word during the meeting, he even took the equipment given by Yang Zhen and said goodbye as soon as the meeting ended and returned to the Lingxi area.

    Regarding the performance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Third Route Army, the newly appointed Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of North Manchuria and the Political Commissar of the Third Route Army, who stayed to participate in the formation of the Northeast Bureau, were embarrassed.  If you are really brave, don't take the equipment.  You took someone else's things, but you didn't express your position or say anything about the coordinated operations plan they proposed. What's this like?

    Yang Zhen was well aware of the indifference of the main leaders of the Third Route Army.  As soon as they arrived, he arrested one of their main division commanders.  Although there was a reason for everything, this matter of Yue Bao taking care of Zu did not go well after all.  In addition, he was the least qualified among the three Route Army leaders, but he was appointed as the secretary in charge of the Northeast Bureau's Secretariat in charge of military affairs.

    And he, who has served as the director of the Military Political Department for many years and is now the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, was appointed as a committee member, but he was on the same level as Li Yanping, a young boy in his eyes.  Not only did he take in Zhao Shangzhi, who was squeezed out by the Third Route Army, but he also entrusted him with an important task. Who could believe him if he said he didn't create a rift?

    Although the commander-in-chief knew the whole story of the arrest of the Sixth Army division commander, he criticized himself for being a little hasty.  Without warning the leaders of the Third Route Army, they arrested people in front of them.  Even if there is real evidence, one cannot be so reckless.  He is a first-class main division commander who is highly regarded by the main leaders of the Third Route Army. You didn't even tell him and just arrested him. Is this ridiculous?

    But Yang Zhen thought that even though what he did that day was a little reckless, there was a reason for it after all.  And the guy has confessed, and the evidence is conclusive.  Even if you are dissatisfied, you still need to make things happen.  It is related to the anti-Japanese situation in North Manchuria. As the top military leader of the North Manchuria Provincial Committee,How can you be so small-minded?

    Looking at Yang Zhen who looked helpless, the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the First Army did not know what to say.  They only learned a little bit about what happened after arriving at Xingshan Fortress.  It's just that from an outsider's perspective, it's not good to advise or not to advise on this kind of thing.  The two simply chose to remain silent.

    After the leaders of the Third Route Army Headquarters leave, the central delegation that has completed its tasks will also leave soon.  Regarding the commander-in-chief's invitation to attend Yang Zhen's wedding, Mr. Lin smiled and said: "We have to return to Yan'an to report to the central government in person so that we can transfer urgently needed cadres to you as soon as possible, so we won't delay here."

    After that, Mr. Lin took out a Parker gold pen from his side and handed it to Yang Zhen, saying, "This is a souvenir given to me by the leader himself when I was the commander of the 115th Division. Now that there is nothing permanent around me, I will pass this on to you."  . One is to leave a souvenir, and the other is to serve as a wedding gift.¡±

    Hearing that this pen was actually given to Mr. Lin by the leader himself, Yang Zhen carefully took over this ordinary-looking, mass-market Parker gold pen. He looked at it carefully before inserting it into the pocket of his military uniform.  After taking the Parker gold pen, Yang Zhen waved his hand, and several guards behind him placed a pile of items in front of Mr. Lin and several members of the central delegation.

    Yang Zhen pointed to the things on the table and said to Mr. Lin: "This tiger skin is a Siberian tiger that was shot when the reconnaissance camp went into the mountains for training some time ago. I left the tiger skin and bones behind, and they are now ready.  Please send it to the leader. There is also tiger bone wine, which is very effective in treating rheumatism and other joint diseases.¡±

    "This sable fur coat is brand new and unused that we seized from the Japanese warehouse in Jiamusi. Please give it to Mr. Lin to Vice Chairman Zhou. These otter fur hats and a box of high-quality Codonopsis ginseng are also from us."  Please also ask Mr. Lin to forward what was seized in Jiamusi to other leading comrades in the central government.¡±

    "As for this black bear skin mattress and these two hundred-year-old wild ginseng, they are given to Mr. Lin. These dozen deerskin coats and these dozens of decades-old wild ginseng are given to all representatives of the Central Committee.  Comrades from the delegation. Apart from these wild products, there are no good local products in the Northeast. I would also like to ask my comrades from the central delegation."

    Yang Zhen is very attentive and has not only prepared gifts for central leaders, but also for almost everyone in the central delegation.  Although they were all mountain goods from Xiaoxinan Mountains and high-quality leather goods seized from the warehouse of the Fourth Division of Jiamusi, they were worth a lot of money together.

    At the end, this guy even said in a show-off manner: "I didn't catch a leopard this time, so why don't I get a leopard skin coat for Mr. Lin and several other leaders?"

    After that, Yang Zhen pointed to several tightly sealed and even locked leather boxes and said: "This is part of the funds we transferred to the central government, a total of 5,000 taels of gold and the Japanese and puppet troops captured in Jiamusi.  Please transfer the 100,000 silver dollars collected to the central government."

    "Northern Shaanxi is a barren land, and the National Government is tight on us. The central government is definitely not rich. Although the quantity of these gold and silver coins is not large, it is enough to support us for a while. The Northeast is rich in gold. In the future, if the central government  If there is an urgent need, you must tell us. We will try our best to help the central government find a way to send it to Yan'an."

    Not long after arriving in the Northeast, Mr. Lin, who knew that Yang Zhen did not have much money, saw that Yang Zhen actually took out such a large sum of gold, silver dollars and other hard currency and handed it over to the central government at once, even though he had always been indifferent.  Mr. Lin was somewhat moved and said: "These funds have just solved the urgent needs of the central government. On behalf of the central government, I would like to thank you."

    Having said this, Mr. Lin looked at the commander-in-chief and several secretaries of the Northeast Bureau who were standing in front of him, as well as Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and other members of the leadership team of the Jidong Military Region and said: "The work in the Northeast region will depend on you in the future.  , how you fight will be a great cooperation for the battlefield inside the pass. "

    "The situation in the Northeast is serious, you must be more careful. You must prioritize things clearly, and never underestimate the enemy and rush forward. If there is any matter, you must cooperate with each other, and do not create divisions or specializations. This is  The leader asked me to tell you again and again.¡±

    "Okay, I won't say much more. In a word, you all should do your best. The central government will always pay attention to you in Yan'an. If you need the central government to assist you, just call the central government directly. Don't have any taboos."

    "Vice Chairman Zhou has coordinated with the north to arrange a large aircraft, which is now waiting for us at a Soviet field airport in Jiangbei. We will not return to Moscow, but will fly directly to Yan'an via Mongolia from there to report to the Central Committee. Comrades, take your leave,  Take care, everyone, and we will see you again someday.¡±

    This time when sending the Central Committee delegation back to Jiangbei, Yang Zhen did not pretend to help others, but he did it himself??I personally drove all the way to Luobei Port.  When they arrived at the place, Mr. Lin's entourage got out of the car first. When he and Yang Zhen were the only two people left in the car, Mr. Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, curiously looked around him and stared out of the car window in silence.  Yang Zhen said softly: "Xiao Yang, there are only two of us left now. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

    Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and then said: "Please tell Mr. Lin to tell the leader that I, Yang Zhen, will be infinitely loyal to the party and the people. I will remain loyal to the party and the people for the rest of my life and will never regret betraying the party, the central government, or the leader."

    In response to Yang Zhen's statement, Mr. Lin just smiled faintly and said: "There should be more. If you leave me alone, you won't just say these words to me. Xiao Yang, although you and I have not known each other for a long time, I can tell  "Your respect for the Central Committee and me comes from the bottom of your heart. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

    Mr. Lin's keen intuition shocked Yang Zhen slightly. Yes, if he was as dull as later generations said, how could he become the commander of a million-strong army, how could he win so many battles, and how could he always be valued by the leader?  .  A dull person cannot fight a decisive battle like the Battle of Liaoshen.

    After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen said: "Mr. Lin, you have always been my idol. I just want to ask you, do you believe in fortune tellers? That is, do you believe in those so-called fortunes? Do you believe that some people can really learn from a fortune teller?"  Can a person¡¯s face reveal their general destiny for the rest of their life?¡±

    Mr. Lin was stunned by his words. He was silent for a long time before saying: "Those things are all illusory things. If you believe it, there is it. If you don't believe it, there is nothing. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But existence is  It¡¯s reasonable. I think this thing has been popular in China for thousands of years and has been around for a long time. I guess he still has a certain reason.¡±

    "It's just that no matter what your fate is, hard work is inevitable. I think luck like this is more about the opportunities obtained through hard work. Otherwise, even if you are destined by the emperor, you will not go there yourself  Your efforts are in vain. Don¡¯t indulge in this kind of thing when you are young.¡±

    "Remember, innate talent is important. But acquired hard work is the fundamental determinant of things. Otherwise, you will be the emperor's son. Without your own efforts, you will not be able to obtain the status of crown prince."

    Regarding Mr. Lin's answer, Yang Zhen pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Lin, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, but after thinking about it, it's better to say it. Mr. Lin, when the revolution is victorious, I will  I hope you will not engage in politics. If possible, we can go to a remote place, whether it is Tibet or Xinjiang, as long as it is far away from the political center. You will be the commander of the military region and I will be your chief of staff."

    At this point, Yang Zhen smiled mockingly and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I really don't want you to be involuntarily involved in some struggle that you don't want to see.  . You must be respected by the leader, and you will be useful as a leader in the future. But I don¡¯t want you to follow the old path of Marshal Tukhachevsky. Political struggles in China are often cruel."

    "As for Comrade Sun Weishi, you should also be more proactive. People of their age want more romantic things. Men, it is very important what kind of wife they find. For us feudal officials with military power,  Finding a wife who is too ambitious is likely to bring disaster instead of happiness. "

    Mr. Lin, who was quite surprised after hearing his words, frowned tightly. He looked at Yang Zhen who looked at him sincerely for a long time, then nodded slightly and said: "I remember your words, you  You have to be more careful here. You must follow the leader¡¯s lead and don¡¯t have any other ideas.¡±

    For Mr. Lin, who is very political and pays attention to influence, being able to say these words can already be said to be very close to Yang Zhen.  He looked at the figure of this illustrious general, who had made outstanding achievements in war years and was ruined after the founding of the People's Republic of China, waving goodbye to him after boarding the ship.

    After the central delegation boarded the boat, Yang Zhen stood straight on the riverside and saluted the military salute as the ferry slowly left the pier. He secretly sighed in his heart: "I have done everything I can do, and I have already said everything I should and should not say."  Having said that, things in the future are beyond your control.¡±

    His military salute was not a tribute to General Lin as a representative of the Central Committee, but a heartfelt respect from a young junior to this famous general with great military exploits.
