Of course, the first person here is somewhat exaggerated, but in 1946, Lin Biao was extremely excited when Liu Yalou went to Harbin to take up the post of Chief of the Eastern General Staff.
How excited was Lin Biao?
Let's put it this way, in order to welcome Liu Yalou's arrival, Lin Biao personally broke one of his conventions, that is, he went out in person to greet the guests.
Lin Biao
Even the moment he met Liu Yalou, Lin Biao, who had always disliked joking or even smiling, unexpectedly shook hands with Liu Yalou and laughed in front of everyone. This shocked everyone...
The "Three Guardians" support Liu Yalou's appointment as the Chief of General Staff of Dongdong.
Speaking of Liu Yalou's appointment as Chief of General Staff of Dongdong, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "coming out of nowhere".
There are reasons why this idiom is used to describe it:
First, Liu Yalou disappeared in the country for more than 8 years;
Second, after disappearing for such a long time, he came back to take up the top position of Northeast Democratic Alliance ;
And Liu Yalou Taking up this position was also supported by the "Three Guardians", first Luo Ronghuan's recommendation, then Lin Biao's approval, and finally Chairman Mao's approval, which shows his appreciation for Liu Yalou's ability.
Chairman Mao and Liu Yalou
First of all, Luo Ronghuan. In early February, he suddenly suffered from an old problem, namely kidney disease, so under arrangement, he went to Dalian to recuperate, and happened to meet Liu Yalou, who was working in the Soviet Army.
Therefore, Luo Ronghuan began to persuade Liu Yalou to return to work in our army, but Han Guang and other Luda Prefectural Committee members were not willing. Luda's strategic position is so important that it needs the help of talents like Liu Yalou.
Although Luo Ronghuan had a gentle temper, he was not ambiguous at all on this matter. He immediately contacted the Northeast Bureau and the Far East Soviet military authorities to negotiate. At Luo Ronghuan's request, the Soviet Union agreed to release Liu Yalou. html Around June 3, Liu Yalou officially took office as Chief of General Staff.
There is a reason why Lin Biao is so excited.
Just two months before Liu Yalou took office, that is, in April, the Siping Battle started. It lasted for more than a month, but no significant results were achieved. According to statistics, the situation after the Siping Battle was as follows:
Liu Yalou
First, our army suffered more than 8,000 casualties in this battle;
Second, Huang Kecheng's 3rd Division and 7th Brigade had only 3,000 people left and lost combat effectiveness;
Thirdly, Wan Yi's 3rd Division had only 4,000 people left out of 13,000. Lost combat effectiveness;
Fourth, Liang Xingchu's 1st Division had only 5,000 men left, with partial combat effectiveness;
Fifth, Luo Huasheng's 2nd Division, Deng Hua's Department and Yang Guofu's Department all only had partial combat effectiveness remaining;
Therefore, Lin Biao became seriously ill.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Lin Biao was so happy to see Liu Yalou. First of all, it was because Lin Biao really needed a capable and experienced chief of staff at this moment. Secondly, it was also because Lin Biao had always admired Liu Yalou. He was in the Central Soviet Area back then. At that time, Lin Biao was very satisfied with Liu Yalou.
Lin Biao
Now that Liu Yalou is here, it is no wonder that Lin Biao is happy to break the rules himself.
At this moment, elites gathered in the Northeast, especially Liu Yalou. Within just a few months of taking office, he stood out from the crowd and became the most famous figure in the Northeast. It was also at this time that the most famous incident in the history of the Northeast and even the Communist Party was reported. One of the combinations:
"Lin Luo Liu!"
Liu Yalou solved two big problems for Lin Biao as soon as he started
After the Battle of Siping, our army was taking a breather and resting, and the Kuomintang was also resting.
Liu Yalou is worthy of being a strong man and understands the seriousness of the situation at this moment. The Kuomintang will not attack during this period, so he must use this time to recharge his batteries and solve several big troubles.
First of all, Liu Yalou is ready to solve the first trouble:
draw a complete combat map.
Liu Yalou
You may not believe it. At this time, the Northeastern Democratic Alliance Army could not even draw a complete operational map. It is no wonder that the headquarters has no infrastructure and a shortage of staff, so of course it cannot be effective.
Lin Biao was not stupid. As early as 1945, he complained to the central government about this matter. He believed that the headquarters lacked maps, lacked staff personnel, and communications were also chaotic.
Liu Yalou breathed a sigh of relief and began to take action. First, Liu Yalou read all the telegrams before and after the surrender of Japan, the Eighth Route Army's march into the Northeast, and the Battle of Siping, and had a clear understanding of the overall current situation in the Northeast.
Later, Liu Yalou summoned Pu Xiwen, the map section chief of the Eastern General Staff Office, and told him that drawing a military map was the first problem that must be solved.
With the help of Liu Yalou, Pu Xiwen initially determined the solution:
Luo Ronghuan, Lin Biao, Liu Yalou and others took a group photo
First, 500 people with an education level of junior high school students or above are needed to learn drawing;
Second, a large amount of printing is needed Paper and plate-making chemicals;
Third, we need to find cadres who understand surveying and mapping ;
Liu Yalou was very calm. He first set up a surveying and mapping school to train talents for drawing military maps, and then transferred them from other troops and places. Come and learn from commanders and fighters with a junior high school diploma or above.
The next step was to solve the problem of the original military map. Liu Yalou had already been confident and immediately allocated 300 taels of gold and asked Pu Xiwen to take the money to Dalian for purchase. Soon, a printing factory was established and the first batch of military maps were successfully printed. This was satisfying. The needs of the troops.
Now everyone felt Liu Yalou's vigorous and resolute actions, and they just started doing what they said. Under Liu Yalou's instructions, the map department would report the drawing situation to him every month, which also greatly accelerated the progress of the drawing.
Liu Yalou
Then, Liu Yalou began to solve the second big trouble:
training staff members.
Lin Biao was basically worried about these two points. He did not have professional map drawing and professional staff talents. Liu Yalou also knew Lin Biao very well and immediately started to build a staff training team and taught lectures in person.
A few months later, the staff training team trained many staff officers. Facts have proved that these staff officers played a great role and laid a solid foundation for the headquarters organs of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army at all levels.
In order to further enhance the role of the chief of staff, Liu Yalou personally ordered:
The chiefs of staff at all levels are the chiefs of staff of the army, that is, the direct heads of the headquarters.
Lin Biao
This change was highly praised by Lin Biao. In the past, the chief of staff was just a department leader of the headquarters and had no rights. This greatly limited the role of the chief of staff for the headquarters. Now the chief of staff can train the troops. and combat guidance, which greatly increased the training effectiveness of the troops.
Under Liu Yalou's series of actions, the staff team was stabilized, the headquarters took on a new look, and the map drawing was quickly carried out, so that future operations no longer need to be blinded.
As soon as he got started, Liu Yalou added points to the army, which made Lin Biao admire Liu Yalou even more. Stalin relied on Zhukov and Antonov and other staff members, and Lin Biao relied on Liu Yalou as a staff member.
Liu Yalou's solution is to show a movie
html In early July, the Northeast Army withdrew to Harbin, and then an enlarged meeting was held to summarize the experiences and lessons learned in the past few months and determine future work policies. html On July 7, the meeting formally adopted the drafted "The Situation and Tasks of Northeast China", also known as the "July 7 Resolution".
Liu Yalou
After the announcement of the July 7th Resolution, Liu Yalou assisted Lin Biao in establishing and consolidating the rear base area north of the Songhua River, carried out bandit suppression, and organized a large number of cadres to mobilize the masses to carry out land reform.
Of course, Liu Yalou has done a lot, and over time, he should be wary of the Kuomintang.
During the armistice period, Liu Yalou did a lot of work, and the Kuomintang did the same. After some reinforcements, it began to be evil again and planned to make a comeback.
Can’t stay in Harbin anymore? Should
hold or withdraw? Lin Biao was caught in a dilemma . In fact, it was necessary to withdraw, but the soldiers in the army probably couldn't understand it, because they first withdrew from Shenyang and then Changchun, which made many soldiers begin to have doubts about the situation.
Luo Ronghuan is a wise man. He supports Lin Biao's retreat. It is unwise to be a hero at this time. Du Yuming is controlling the front lines of Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou at this time, so it is impossible for us to control the Northeast. It is better to retreat. Shrink the troops and carry out the campaign in , northern Manchuria and .
Du Yuming
Lin Biao also agreed with Luo Ronghuan's words, but his entanglement still lingered around Lin Biao. Lin Biao let out a sigh of relief, why not leave this problem to the newcomer Liu Yalou.
Liu Yalou didn't hesitate. He first calmly contacted the Soviet Consulate in Harbin and got a documentary about the famous Russian general Kutuzov who defeated Napoleon .
In Liu Yalou’s words, I don’t have any suggestions. My suggestion is to watch a movie first.
Then, Liu Yalou showed the movie to the troops. After showing the movie, everyone was confused, even Lin Biao was a little confused.
Liu Yalou cleared his throat and began to explain the meaning of releasing the movie:
Liu Yalou
From Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou to Siping and then to Changchun, although it seems that our army has been retreating, it is mainly because we have no troops on hand, and although Du Yuming It seems that we have captured a lot of places, but it is difficult to defend the city, and we will inevitably not be able to mobilize the troops to attack. We exchange local space for troops, and the situation formed is that the enemy is defending and we are attacking. We can easily concentrate our troops and start attacking the cities one by one. return.
Now everyone finally understood. To put it simply, we gave up the entire city. Du Yuming took it, and he must have thought about holding it. We need troops to defend the city, and we don’t have offensive troops. When we fight again, we will Much easier.
Everyone admires Chief of Staff Liu so much!
Now, everyone understood the meaning of retreat and began to prepare for the retreat, so every day we can see trains coming out of Harbin, and they all go to the rear area of Jiamusi.
The name Liu Yalou spread among the agencies and cadres’ families at an extremely fast speed!
Liu Yalou
Lin Biao fully believed in any suggestion of Liu Yalou
A cold wave hit Siberia , and the Songhua River began to freeze.
On the river, the enemy would have unimpeded access, so on August 29, the central government called Lin Biao to prevent a large-scale attack by the Kuomintang at any time, and it was best to make combat preparations in September.
At this time, Luo Ronghuan had already gone to the Soviet Union for treatment, but fortunately Liu Yalou came, so Lin Biao felt relieved and began to arrange corps preparations with Liu Yalou for war.
Immediately afterwards, Beiman 2nd and 6th verticals were established!
But at this time, the headquarters suddenly encountered some difficulties. It turned out to be a problem of banditry. The most abominable thing is that the Kuomintang has recruited no less than 100,000 bandits in the Northeast, which is extremely detrimental to our army.
Lin Biao
Liu Yalou, as usual, quickly grasped the situation of bandits. There were 50,000 bandits in southern Manchuria and 100,000 in northern Manchuria. So Liu Yalou suggested to Lin Biao that one-third of the main force should be used to cooperate with local armed forces to suppress bandit.
Lin Biao completely trusted Liu Yalou. Lin Biao would not refuse any suggestion Liu Yalou made as long as Liu Yalou explained it.
In mid-October, Chiang Kai-shek really took action.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement, the Kuomintang's combat policy was "First south and then north, attack south and defend north" , and Lin Biao also proposed a corresponding combat policy "Insist on southern Manchuria, cooperate with north and south, concentrate superior forces, and take the initiative." enemy.”
On October 27, Xiao Jinguang and Chen Yun went to southern Manchuria to start work, and Lin Biao and Liu Yalou also began to prepare to suppress the bandits first.
But everyone lived up to Liu Yalou’s expectations. After several months of fighting, the coalition forces The banditry has been basically eliminated to ensure the safety of the rear.
Du Yuming
The banditry has been dealt with. The next step is the face-to-face contest with Du Yuming.
Lin Biao is full of confidence at this moment. If there is one thing that is a bit unreliable, it is. Weapon supply problem.
For this reason, Lin Biao reported the weapon supply problem to Chairman Mao. After all, Du Yuming's troops were all equipped with sophisticated weapons. It would not be easy for us to defeat them.
Liu Yalou took action again in November! , Liu Yalou went to the foreign trade department of the Soviet government alone. Relying on his many years of experience and connections in the Soviet Union, the Soviet side agreed to a foreign trade deal, which was an agreement to exchange food for weapons.
In addition, Liu Yalou also went to North Korea. During one trip, Japan left a lot of military supplies in North Korea, so Liu Yalou went to North Korea to negotiate and once again successfully got back a large amount of weapons supplies.
The one on the right is Liu Yalou
. In addition, Liu Yalou also considered that Du Yuming occupied the north-south transportation line. problem, so they negotiated with North Korea and established the Northeast Bureau Office in North Korea in Pyongyang , and then established the Northeast Democratic Alliance Office in Tumen , connecting the relationship between the two places.
later supported South Manchuria. The military supplies were all shipped from Tumen, which shows Liu Yalou's foresight.
In order to thank the Soviet Union and North Korea for their help, Liu Yalou personally took action and first personally sent the ashes of the North Korean leader's parents back to North Korea, fulfilling the North Korean leader's wish. wish; and then went to the office in person, prepared a barrel of excellent quality pure alcohol, and gave it to a Soviet officer to thank him for his help.
A trip to the Soviet Union!
It can be said that! , it was Liu Yalou who solved the urgent need of the Northeast Democratic Coalition and quickly restored its vitality.
Liu Yalou
As the saying goes, one link is connected with another.
I think it is precisely because of Liu Yalou's efforts that was saved. The Northeast Democratic Alliance Army was defeated, and the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army that was retained has been full of vitality in the Northeast since then, Liaoshen Battle, Pingjin Battle, until the founding of New China...
Such a blessing should belong to our country!
