During the Liberation War, the People's Liberation Army established a total of four major field armies, and some of them were ranked sequentially from west to east according to geographical location. However, the Northeast Field Army is indeed the Fourth Field Army, and some people say that Comrade Peng Dehuai has a high status within the party and the army.
So Nishino must be a wild, this will not cause controversy, and then go with the flow of the line
。 But this is superficial, in fact, there is no basis, it is conventional.
There is no distinction between one, two, three or four. There were only four major field armies, namely Yiye (Peng Dehuai of the Northwest Field Army), Erye (Liu Dengbu of the Central Plains Field Army), Sanye (Su Yubu of the East China Field Army, also known as Chen Subu), and Siye (Lin Biaobu of the Northeast Field Army).
What is called is also a customary title.
Peng Dehuai of Yiye and Lin Biao of Siye, because of their unique authority in the army, are basically not juxtaposed with the deputy political commissar and deputy commander of the political commissar (yes, Luo Ronghuan is not tied, Lin is the secretary, the commander and political commissar of the military region, and the commander of the field army in the northeast, and Gao Gang, Chen Yun, and Luo Ronghuan are not juxtaposed).
Huaye is called Su Yubu, which is also a habitual title of the central government, mainly because since the establishment of Huaye, Chen Yi has had very little time in the army, often in the central government and engaged in local work, and Su Yu is basically responsible for the army.
Tan Zhenlin Chen Shiyu collaborated. Erye was generally called Liu Dengbu, and it was rare to see the telegram of "Liu Bochengbu" (as the Kuomintang called it), mainly because Deng Xiaoping was not much like others as political commissar, and he devoted his main energy to assisting Liu Bocheng in fighting.
Political work only focuses on major policies, and deputy political commissar Zhang Jichun is responsible for the specific implementation.
In addition to the northwest, central plains, east China, and northeast China, there is also a North China Military Region, with Nie Rongzhen as commander and political commissar (later Bo Yibo as political commissar).
However, in the field army numbers promulgated by the central authorities twice, North China is not listed. The term North China Field Army is our habitual title, and strictly speaking, it should be the three field corps of the North China Military Region.
The three field corps of the North China Military Region were generally led by the Headquarters of the North China Military Region, and for a period of time the war situation was tense, which was directly commanded by the central authorities, and later the First Corps (18 Corps) was subordinate to the Erye.
The Second Corps (19 Corps) was assigned to Yiye, and the 3rd Corps (20 Corps) was reorganized into Tianjin and Tanggu Garrison Units and Public Security Forces.
Why did the North China Military Region not establish the North China Field Army? To sum it up in one sentence: there is no condition for it to be established.
Does the Central Committee have any plans to set up a field army in the North China Military Region? It should be said that there is.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the two parties negotiated and made an article on the so-called peaceful nation-building. The Kuomintang proposed that the army should be dismantled and that the nationalist army should maintain fifty divisions.
The communists maintained ten divisions, the Communists agreed, and both sides signed. However, both sides know that this is a form and cannot be taken seriously, because the political demands of the two parties are not the same, the political contradictions are opposite and irreconcilable, and there is no two days in the sky, and the people have no two masters.
How can we truly turn enemies into friends and join hands to build a nation? Of course, there must be agreements, slogans must be shouted, judgments must be discussed, and words must be signed; without these gestures, political public opinion will not be able to say anything, and it will lose internal and external support.
The Kuomintang's approach was to reorganize the original army into an integrated division. The establishment of the national army has always been empty, and such an reorganization has not only weakened dissident warlords, but also strengthened the concubines. This was Chiang Kai-shek's usual means.
As for the Communist Party, the central authorities have also issued documents to the major military regions to streamline their troops and simplify their administration, requiring that several military regions except Rehe and the northeast be reduced by one-third on the basis of the existing basis, and then demobilized by one-third if they are done well. What is said above, how to do it below depends on the understanding and operation of the chiefs of each military region.
Northwest Peng Dehuai merged four brigades into two brigades, demobilizing 2,700 disabled people. The northwest was bitterly cold, the supply of materials was tight, and it was impossible to support a huge army.
Liu Deng of the Central Plains reduced the number of a brigade. Liu Deng's number is obviously very small, but he often has a division of soldiers under the number of a regiment, and there is little difference between the regular army and the local troops in terms of structure and weaponry.
After receiving the notice, Su Zhongsu Yu held a meeting, at which he did not mention the reduction of the army at all, but repeatedly stressed the need to be prepared for a big battle.
It is necessary to actively train troops, to recruit troops like crazy (yes, the original words of the meeting are crazy), to mobilize the masses, to serve the masses, and to expand the construction of base areas. Some people attending the meeting wondered that what the central authorities were saying was that the elite army should be able to streamline the administration.
Aren't you doing the opposite? Su Yu replied that it was not contradictory at all, and we must always bear in mind chairman Mao's remark that the people's armed forces mean that every gun and every bullet must be well preserved.
The simplification of the elite army is to train a lot of elite soldiers, and this is the most urgent and simplest politics at present.
More than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people were demobilized, but the total strength of the army increased from 40,000 to 60,000.
The central document clearly stipulates that the northeast is not within the scope of elite troops and streamlining administration, and we want to monopolize the northeast, and we must rely on fighting to monopolize it, and we must strengthen the troops when fighting a war.
Therefore, the northeast has been expanding the base areas, carrying out land reform, reducing rents and interest rates, eliminating bandits, and training troops in a step-by-step manner. Lin Biao did not believe in peaceful reunification at all, and when the central authorities' telegram to the northeast mentioned that there was a possibility of peace, he immediately called back to remind Chairman Mao, and the wording was quite direct: Please calmly consider it!
In fact, these four military regions not only did not disarm, but also felt that the storm was coming and actively prepared for war.
However, Nie Rongzhen of the North China Military Region made a mistake in judging this matter. Objectively speaking, compared with Peng Lin and Liu Xusu, Nie Rongzhen is indeed not very good at military command.
However, he had his own strengths, that is, he was good at building base areas, and although the Jin-Cha-Ji region at this time had long been ravaged by devils, the people's livelihood was poor, and the mass base was poor, it was under the leadership of Nie Rongzhen.
With a population of twelve million and a regular army of thirty-two thousand, this is a great force. Nie's Jin-Cha-Ji was comparable to Luo Ronghuan's Shandong. During the War of Liberation, the Shandong base area provided a large number of soldiers and materials to various theaters, and made great contributions, which can be said to have influenced the course of the war.
In accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, Nie Rongzhen demobilized the first batch of 120,000 people without compromise. These 120,000 were veterans with great combat experience. Of the remaining 200,000, 50,000 were converted to local troops.
But civil war happened right away. On the North China Kuomintang side, there were two major groups of Fu Zuoyi and Yan Xishan, as well as Sun Lianzhong and the Central Army, with 400,000 troops.
Our army, on the other hand, has only fifteen or sixty thousand, is stretched thin, is often passively beaten, and has suffered several defeats in a row.
The central authorities were in a hurry, and Zhu De came to take a look and said that there were many people eating, fewer people fighting wars, serious guerrilla habits, and lack of combat experience in large corps, so there were few bright spots in the military.
