Chapter 153 4. Reorganization of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region

Nie Rongzhen really wants to go back to the Jinchaji Military Region where he has fought and lived for 6 years, but in Yan'an, he also has very important work to do and cannot be separated from him.Moreover, the central government still let him serve as the organizational leader of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, and continued to serve as the secretary of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division, the commander of the military region and political commissar. Whenever there were major decision-making issues, Mao Zedong often consulted his opinions. The big counter-offensive is coming, and the work in Jinchaji, especially the military work, needs to be strengthened. This makes Nie Rongzhen very anxious. Who should he send?

Suddenly, he remembered that He Long told him a few days ago: Geng Biao had approached him and said that he would go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. For Geng Biao, Nie Rongzhen is too familiar, it can be said that he watched him grow up, and he is a fierce general.Thinking of this, Nie Rongzhen immediately asked the guards to find Geng Biao. As soon as they met, Nie Rongzhen said straight to the point: "How about you go to the Jinchaji Military Region?" Geng Biao was about to go to the front line, and when he heard that he was going to Jinchaji, he happily agreed. Then Nie Rongzhen said: "You go to be a deputy chief of staff first, familiarize yourself with the situation, and you will take charge of the combat work in the whole region." Soon after Geng Biao came to the Jinchaji Military Region, the troops of the Jinchaji Military Region were reorganized.Four military regions, Jijin, Jizhong, Jicha, and Jireliao, were successively established.
