Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yang Zhen had long been mentally prepared for things that would definitely cause some disturbance during the title conferment process.  Therefore, after the central government approved the Northeast Military Region's first trial of the military rank system, Yang Zhen repeatedly requested that all military rank evaluations must be strictly based on levels when arranging ranking tasks for the military region.

    ??Except for the appropriate promotions that can be given based on seniority and military age when assessing military ranks for positions at the same level, no consideration will be given.  As for major generals and above, the number of people must be strictly controlled.  For example, deputy division-level cadres with relatively senior qualifications who should have been awarded the rank of colonel according to regulations may be considered for the rank of senior colonel.

    But it can be considered that when the title is actually awarded, it still has to be stuck on the actual position.  Division commanders, including those at the level of the main division, are senior colonels. Deputy division commanders are generally awarded the rank of colonel except for a few senior ones who can be awarded the military rank of senior colonel.  The main regiment is either a colonel or a lieutenant colonel. Basically, the majority is a lieutenant colonel. There is nothing to say about this.

    As for the situation like the National Government, where there are major generals, lieutenant generals and division commanders, Yang Zhen will not consider it at all.  Regardless of whether it was a military rank awarded to boost morale during the war or a real military rank, Yang Zhen would not consider it.  The awarding of military ranks is a serious matter and cannot be bought.

    As for those non-combatants such as military doctors and members of the art troupe, according to Yang Zhen's original requirements, they were not prepared to be awarded military ranks.  Even the top military and political leaders in the department were not considered.  On this point, before Yang Zhen went to Wannan, when arranging the awarding work, he had already greeted Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who were in charge of the military region work.

    Yang Zhen doesn¡¯t want his army to have dancing major generals, singing colonels, and acting generals like those of later generations.  You have never been on the battlefield for a day, so get a major general.  What do those real soldiers who work hard for promotion think?  For a true soldier, military rank not only represents the level of the position, but more importantly, it is an honor.

    ¡° Let those actors who sing and dance, while enjoying the treatment of the army, and on the other hand making a lot of money by doing tricks in society, obtain the rank of general.  It is an insult to an army, and it is an insult to the honor of soldiers. It is an insult to those real soldiers who spend all day on the training ground and suffer hardships on the border.

    Of course, Yang Zhen does not deny the importance of art troupes in boosting morale during wartime, otherwise he would not have formed an art troupe after the army grew.  But forming a cultural troupe is one thing, and conferring titles is another.  These people can be given certain treatment, but military ranks, an honor that can only be awarded to real soldiers, must not be given.

    Even if he were promoted to a certain level and served as regimental leader or political commissar, Yang Zhen would not consider it.  Yang Zhen cannot tolerate such insults to real soldiers among his subordinates.  The existence of the art troupe is necessary, but as non-combatants, it is not appropriate to award military ranks.

    After thinking for a while, Yang Zhen said: "My opinion is that non-combatants should not be awarded titles. Lao Guo, what do you think about a singing and dancing art troupe member with the rank of major? What do you think of those cadres and soldiers who fight bloody battles on the battlefield all day long?  I am a major who spends all his time on the battlefield with his head in his waistband. How can you be a major if you sing and dance all day long?¡±

    "The art troupe exists to improve the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops, but they cannot be equated with field troops. Military ranks are awarded to real soldiers and are not used to consider the interests of all parties. In this way, let the Political Department develop a civilian cadre technology based on the military rank system  Grades and signs.¡±

    "Except for ministers, political commissars and administrative cadres, all technical cadres engaged in research in the Ministry of Military Industry and the Ministry of Logistics, doctors and nurses in various field hospitals, and members of the Art Corps will all be awarded the rank of civilian cadres according to their current job classification. In addition, the standards for members of the Art Corps,  In addition to the regiment leader and political commissar, there must be a limit, and the level cannot be increased indefinitely. The highest level must not exceed the deputy regiment. "

    "As for other people, the rules are the rules. There is nothing to say. It will not change for a certain person. The main regiment is the colonel or lieutenant colonel, and the deputy regiment is the lieutenant colonel. I am a lieutenant general, and you, the acting staff officer of the military region  The commander and chief of staff of the field army are just a major general. Is it true that he has a group of major generals and a senior colonel commander?"

    "Tell them that the regulations cannot be changed. But in the future, whether they can receive early promotion rewards, become a colonel commander, and speak straightly in front of their comrades and family members depends on their performance on the battlefield. Military rank  In addition to being linked to positions, promotions must also be linked to medals and medal systems.¡±

    Yang Zhen¡¯s attitude is very firm, non-combatants must not be awarded military ranks.  In order to comfort these non-combatants, Yang Zhen decided to adopt the civilian cadre hierarchy of later generations.  If you want to take care of their emotions, can you design a separate collar badge for them? Can the rank be shown on the collar badge?

    Regarding Yang Zhen¡¯s attitude, Guo Bingxun shook his head.  He actually supports Yang Zhen's idea.  Literary ArtsHe also thought it was extremely inappropriate for military personnel to be awarded the same military rank as combat troops.  However, political commissar Li Yanping and Gao Yuren still tended to confer titles on them. As Yang Zhen, the top military and political leader, was not around, it would be difficult for him as the chief of staff to speak.

    ????????????????????????????? And this matter is within the scope of the political work system¡¯s authority after all. There are some things that I, as the chief of staff, would be better off not to interfere in, lest I be accused of stretching my hand too far.  It's better to let the political commissar and Gao Yumin have the headache. There is no need for me, the chief of staff, to take care of it.

    ¡°My duty is to command the training and operations of the troops, not to do these mother-in-law and mother-in-law things.  As for whether No. 1 agrees or disagrees with the awarding of non-combatant personnel, let the political commissar and Director Gao discuss it with him.  I am just reporting, and there is no need to interfere.

    Thinking of this, Guo Bingxun changed the subject and said: "No. 1, I have something to discuss with you. Just the day before yesterday, in addition to the first batch of combat-effective bombers transferred to northern Shaanxi, the aviation force also had a second batch of 160 bombers.  The ten Il-4 bombers have fully formed their combat effectiveness and have been officially incorporated into the aviation combat order.¡±

    "Several leaders of the aviation force asked for instructions to take the initiative and conduct a bombing on the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing and the Imperial Palace of the Puppet Manchukuo. First, they wanted to test the combat effectiveness and training results of the bomber unit, and conduct a practical test of the true combat effectiveness of the unit.  and speed up the actual deployment of troops.¡±

    "Another reason is to deter the Japanese army, to show that our army has the ability to retaliate against the Japanese army, and to curb the Japanese army's continued bombing of the base areas. Our aviation force was cultivated in Jiangbei and was deeply influenced by them.  Jiangbei¡¯s proactive combat theory is still very popular among them.¡±

    "And I also think that the bombers were originally prepared for the enemy. After forming combat effectiveness, they can't just stay at home. It's time to take the initiative to attack a few times. When you went to southern Anhui, the Guannai troops attacked the Japanese troops in Yuncheng and North China in order to ensure safety on the road.  I think the bombing of the front army's airport was very successful."

    "But in the Northeast, I think the main focus is on strategic targets. As a long-range bomber, the IL-4 is a bit wasteful to deal with tactical targets. After all, to deal with tactical targets such as airports, we also have Su-2 light bombers and American-made  Can a twenty attack aircraft be used?"

    Regarding the aviation force's request to take the initiative and bomb Xinjing, the heart of the Kwantung Army, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "No, Lao Guo. Xinjing is the heart of the Kwantung Army's rule of the Northeast, and it is also the heart of the Kwantung Army.  It is true that bombing the headquarters can greatly affect the morale of the Japanese army. "

    "But there are more Chinese people living in Xinjing. If a bomb falls, a large number of people will be killed or injured. Not only the Japanese will die, but also a large number of our compatriots. Lao Guo, the Japanese army  We can launch bombings without fear, but we are throwing weapons at the enemy."

    "The little devils will build air-raid shelters, but they will not build air-raid shelters for the Chinese people. The entire population of Xinjing is more than 700,000, no matter how many Japanese there are, the majority of them are Chinese. The lives of our compatriots, foreigners  People may not care, the Japanese may not care, but we cannot care.¡±

    "However, I think it should be encouraged for the aviation force to take the initiative to attack. In this way, Chongjin in North Korea is an important steel and military industrial base established by the Japanese army in North Korea. In addition, Chongjin Port is also an important military port for the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula.  . The aviation force¡¯s first attack point, I think, can be chosen there.¡±

    "As for future air strikes against the Japanese troops in Northeast China, they should focus on targets such as transportation lines and airports. As for others, they should wait until their precision bombing training is completed. The arsenal in Fengtian, the Kwantung Army headquarters in Xinjing, and the Kwantung Army headquarters in Anshan  Steel plants, several large open-pit coal mines and oil shale mines in Fushun, as well as man-made petroleum refineries, iron mines from Anshan to Benxi, and magnesium mines in Dashiqiao will all be included in the attack range."

    "These are strategic energy and resources, and bombing them can greatly weaken Japan's production capacity. Japan is a resource-poor country, and all its strategic resources rely on imports. Northeastern iron ore, coal and strategic metals,  It is its main source of iron and magnesium.¡±

    "If these mines are included in the attack range, no matter how strong the Japanese's recovery ability is, if they don't have resources, I wonder what they will use to make aircraft and tanks. There are also oil shale mines and man-made oil refineries in Fushun, which are important energy sources for the Japanese army.  Base. The United States has now cut off Japan's domestic oil supply, and this oil shale mine and man-made oil refinery are even more important to the Japanese army."

    "And when necessary, the Japanese naval base in Lushun must also be included in the attack sight. Don't just focus on Xinjing. As a city, as a military target, in addition to being the headquarters of the Kwantung Army headquarters and the capital of the Puppet Manchukuo,  There are not many advantages. As an important energy base and raw material for the Japanese army.In the northeastern part of the country, there are quite a few targets for us to bomb.  "

    "Don't the little devils often say that Manchuria and Mongolia are their lifeline? With such a big lifeline, there is no need for us to target the bombing in large cities with dense populations. Because that will not hurt their muscles and bones except for their skin.  . The best policy is to identify the target and strike with precision and severity. Manchuria Industry looks at South Manchuria. I think the next bombing will be based on South Manchuria. "

    "But now, I think it is a good thing to practice with the Japanese military industrial base in North Korea first. When our bombing techniques and tactics are truly mature, it will not be too late to bomb Japanese military targets in China. We are all there  I can¡¯t do anything to my own compatriots.¡±
