After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Huang Kecheng, commander and political commissar of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, received orders from his superiors and immediately led the main force of the Third Division to Huainan to join the Second Division of the New Fourth Army to prevent the Kuomintang troops from advancing to the east.
However, when Huang Kecheng arrived in Huainan with his team, he found that the Kuomintang army had already made a quick start, the cities along the Jinpu Road had been controlled by the Kuomintang, and the major cities such as Xuzhou and Bengbu had been taken over by the Kuomintang, and our army had missed the opportunity.
General Huang Kecheng
Huang Kecheng immediately reported this situation to his superiors, and at the same time ordered the large troops to stay in place and wait for instructions from their superiors.
His superiors quickly replied, asking Huang Kecheng to lead his troops back to northern Jiangsu and not to have a direct conflict with the Nationalist army.
On the way back, Huang Ke sincerely saw the commander of the Jireliao Military Region
Zeng Klin
In the telegram, he elaborated on the military deployment in the northeast.
Huang Kecheng analyzed the current situation, and then studied the distribution of military strength between the Kuomintang and our army, holding that it is far from enough to send only a small number of troops into the northeast, and that a large number of military forces should be mobilized to gather in the northeast to form a threat to the Kuomintang.
However, at that time, he served as the secretary of the Central China Bureau and the political commissar of the New Fourth Army
Rao Shushi
However, he felt that Huang Kecheng's proposal was groundless, and not only refuted it on the spot, but also sternly rejected Huang Kecheng's request to send a telegram to the central government.
Even ridiculed Huang Kecheng, if you really want to send a telegram, it is better to use the radio station of the third division to send it well.
The whole army knows that the radio station of the Third Division has the worst function and the weakest signal, and if it is really used to send a report on this radio, whether it can find the signal is unknown.
Forced to do so, Huang Kecheng had no choice but to use the Central China Bureau radio station to send an emergency telegram to the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission in his personal name.
In the telegram, Huang Kecheng made a detailed analysis of the current situation, holding that the peace talks proposed by Chiang Kai-shek were nothing more than a despicable means to deceive the people and delay the time of our army's offensive, and the ultimate purpose was to use the illusion of peace negotiations to paralyze our army, gain time for the deployment of the army, and launch a full-scale civil war.
Huang Kecheng believes that
We must be prepared for a long battle and invest as much military force as possible in the northeast
It is necessary to build dense and patchy base areas, and send capable and prestigious military leaders to direct the work of the northeast general base areas to support the war in Guannei.
In terms of the number of troops, it can not be less than 50,000 troops, if you can, it is best to live in the northeast with 100,000 troops.
In terms of military deployment, Huang Kecheng held that Jin, Sui, and Cha were important military areas in Guannei and could be used as the first base area, followed by the Shandong region. Other regions should escort these two base areas, annihilate all enemy forces in local areas, ensure the combat strength of the main base areas, and adopt the operational policy of concentrating the main forces to eliminate the enemy. If it cannot be taken in one fell swoop, it will turn into guerrilla warfare until the enemy army is completely annihilated.
Regarding the mobilization of troops, Huang Kecheng also made an analysis earlier.
He believes that 30,000 to 50,000 troops should be mobilized from Shandong to support the northeast battlefield
The missing troops in Shandong are dispatched from East China, and 30,000 to 60,000 troops are needed to fill the vacancies in Shandong.
On September 15, Huang Kecheng's telegram was delivered to Liu Shaoqi.
Although it was late at night, considering Huang Kecheng's personality and his ability in the political and military fields, Liu Shaoqi deeply felt that the incident was serious, so he could not rest overnight to review the contents of the telegram.
Liu Shaoqi found that whether it was an analysis of the domestic situation or the deployment of military forces, Huang Kecheng's proposal was very fruitful.
After careful analysis and study, he sorted out the contents of Huang Kecheng's report and submitted it to Chairman Mao, who was working in Chongqing.
The chairman agreed with Huang Kecheng's proposal and entrusted Liu Shaoqi to draft a document to implement this proposal into practice.
On September 19, Liu Shaoqi drafted instructions on "Current Tasks and Strategic Deployments", which clearly stated:
Develop to the north and defend to the south
"It is the next strategic policy of our army, and all parts of the forces are ready to march into the northeast in accordance with the instructions.
Huang Kecheng's telegram accelerated the determination of the CPC Central Committee to mobilize large troops into the northeast region, and at the same time,
He also became the first person to propose to enter the northeast with 100,000 troops.
On September 23, 1945, Huang Kecheng accepted orders from the Central Military Commission and led the Third Division of the New Fourth Army to the northeast. Before leaving, Huang Kecheng withstood many difficulties and demanded that all officers and men of the troops must bring cotton clothes and set off with full arms, and leave the excess weapons for the local troops.
On September 28, 1945, Huang Kecheng and Hong Xuezhi, the second deputy division commander and chief of staff, led the troops to set out, which lasted two months, completed the transfer of 35,000 troops from northern Jiangsu to the northeast, and threw themselves into the construction of the northeast base area.
