The northeast is a northern base area where the Communist-led troops opened up relatively late. In 1945, shortly after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chairman Mao attached great importance to the northeast in light of the analysis of the situation throughout the country, saying that even if we lost all the current base areas, as long as we had the northeast, we would have a solid foundation.
To this end, the central authorities gradually sent a large number of cadres to the northeast, established the strategic principle of "developing to the north and defending to the south," and established the Northeast Bureau. Who was the secretary of the Northeast Bureau at that time? Many people may reply that it is Lin Biao, or Luo Ronghuan.

Not really. At that time, Luo Ronghuan was still in the Shandong battlefield, and Lin Biao had not yet reached the northeast. The original secretary of the Northeast Bureau was named Peng Zhen, a native of Shanxi. Peng Zhen has been engaged in revolutionary activities in the north for a long time, and has served as secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Jin-Cha-Ji Branch Bureau, and has rich leadership experience in the struggle in the white areas.
After coming to Yan'an, Peng Zhen served as the head of the Central Organization Department and held an important leading position in the central government. At the Seventh Party Congress in 1945, Peng Zhen was elected as a member of the Politburo and an alternate secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and his position in the party was very high.
There were only 13 Politburo members at the time. Of the ten marshals of the future republic, only Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng entered the Politburo, and many of the future marshals, including Lin Biao, were not members of the Politburo.
With Peng Zhen's status and revolutionary work experience, it is very appropriate for him to serve as the secretary of the Northeast Bureau. After entering the northeast, Peng Zhen's fruitful work laid a solid foundation for the consolidation and construction of the northeast base area. In 1947, Peng Zhen left the northeast and later became the first secretary of the Beiping Municipal Party Committee after liberation.
The secretary determined that there were still 4 deputy secretaries, and there were no Lin Biao and Luo Ronghuan, who were they?
(Chen Yun, Yang Shangkun, Peng Zhen and Premier Zhou)
The first is Chen Yun, Chen Yun in Shanghai, also engaged in revolutionary struggle, in the Central Soviet Region, Chen Yun's status is also very high, during the War of Resistance Against Japan in northern Shaanxi, Chen Yun also served as the head of the Central Organization Department, after the Seventh National Congress of the Party, also elected as a member of the Politburo, the status is also very high as Peng Zhen.
After entering the northeast battlefield, Chen Yun served as the deputy political commissar of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army and the secretary of the South Manchuria Branch. In the course of the struggle to uphold the base areas in Southern Manchuria, Chen Yun played a very crucial role, and it was he who made up his mind, made up his mind, and insisted on Southern Manchuria, which won the victory in the Battle of Sibao Linjiang.
The second is Cheng Zihua, who, like Peng Zhen, is also from Shanxi. Although Cheng Zihua has no rank, he is an uncrowned general, he was once the commander of the Red 25th Army, and together with Xu Haidong, he led LinkedIn Xiong's Red 25th Army to complete the Long March in victory and take the lead in reaching northern Shaanxi.
The Red Fifteenth Army was established, and Cheng Zihua was the political commissar of the legion. After entering the Northeast Battlefield, Cheng Zihua served as the commander of the Second Corps of the Northeast Field Army, the secretary of the Jicha Reliao Central Branch, and xiao Jinguang and Huang Kecheng. Many famous generals in the northeast battlefield, such as the column commander Huang Yongsheng and Wu Kehua, were once cheng Zihua's subordinates.
The Fourth Field Army was formed, there were 4 corps, the most powerful was the 13th Corps, and Cheng Zihua was the first commander of the 13th Corps, the Siye Army went south, Cheng Zihua left, and the commander was replaced by Huang Yongsheng. With Cheng Zihua's revolutionary qualifications, he can definitely be rated as a general. It is a pity that in the end, it was lost to the rank.

The third, Wu Xiuquan, is a native of Wuhan, Hubei Province. Wu Xiuquan once went to the Soviet Union to study and could speak fluent Russian. In the Central Soviet Region, he was the translator of Li De, a foreign consultant, and in 1935, the Zunyi Conference was held, and Wu Xiuquan also had the honor of attending the meeting.
After entering the northeast, Wu Xiuquan served as the second chief of staff of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army and the chief of staff of the Northeast Military Region. Wu Xiuquan and Peng Zhen Chen Yun and others marched northeast together, they were riding on an old-fashioned plane, but they did not expect that the plane had an accident in the process of landing, rushed out of the runway, and plunged into a rice field.
Wu Xiuquan was lucky, but he was slightly injured, and Peng Zhen was the most seriously injured, suffering from concussion. Chen Yun was the luckiest, after the cockpit door was knocked open, he was suddenly pushed into the cockpit, but there was no danger and no injury.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wu Xiuquan gave full play to his strengths and engaged in diplomatic work for a long time, serving as vice minister of foreign affairs and deputy chief of the general staff.
Finally, Lin Feng, originally from Heilongjiang, has long been engaged in the revolutionary struggle in the white areas in North China and served as the secretary of the Beiping Municipal Party Committee. When Liu Shaoqi was the secretary of the Northern Bureau, Lin Feng served as his secretary. Entering the northeast, Lin Feng served as the organization director of the Northeast Bureau and the secretary of the Changchun Municipal Party Committee. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lin Feng served as deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau.
The first 5 members of the Northeast Bureau have gone through the journey of blood and fire, and there are 3 very tall, Peng Zhen is 95 years old, Chen Yun is 90 years old, and Wu Xiuquan is 90 years old.
