Military self-rewriting: The consistency of the commander of the military district and the commander of the field army is of paramount importance. Taking ** as an example, after he served as the commander of the Third Field Army, with the establishment of the East China Military Region, he still adhered to the post of commander. Similarly, the same was true of his performance in the post of commander of the Fourth Field Army, which he maintained even after the establishment of the South-Central Military Region. In addition, after the establishment of the Northwest Military Region, he still adhered to the post of commander of the First Field Army. There is only one exception among the four major field armies, the Southwestern Military District. The Second Field Army was responsible for the liberation of the Great Southwest, but after the establishment of the Southwest Military Region, the commander was not *** but **. The reason for this situation is that the strategic deployment for the liberation of the Great Southwest is slightly different. The strategic deployment of the liberation of the southwest includes the Second Field Army entering Sichuan from the east and the 18th Corps commanding the 18th Corps from the north to Sichuan, so it can be said that the three dragons entered Sichuan, and both played a key role. The Second Field Army originally had three corps, of which Chen Geng's Fourth Corps went to Liangguang and then liberated and operated Yunnan. Only the Third Corps under the command of *** and the Fifth Corps under the command of Yang Yong entered Sichuan.
Due to the vast territory of Sichuan, extending westward to Xikang, and even including more important areas such as **, the two corps led by *** and *** are far from enough to complete the task. In addition, Hu Zongnan's army also retreated from the northwest to the southwest, so he sent a corps to lead a corps to enter Sichuan from the north to achieve a two-pronged strategic strike. ** The use of force is considered more comprehensively. After the establishment of the Southwest Military District, why did you choose ** instead of *** as commander?This fully demonstrates the superb art of employing people and extraordinary insight into the overall situation. **Although he is a native of Sichuan, his military rank in his early years was not too high, and relatively speaking, his status was low. And ** is a native of Xiangxi, whose status and influence in the Sichuan army are more prominent. At the time of the Nanchang Uprising, ** served as the commander-in-chief, and *** was his chief of staff. Historically, Chiang Kai-shek ruled China for more than 20 years, but never really ruled Sichuan. Some of Sichuan's self-respecting warlords, such as Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang, and Deng Xihou, never really pledged allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek. Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou decisively declared their independence from Chiang Kai-shek's command and launched an uprising.
Driven by them, the Kuomintang generals in central Sichuan responded one after another, and according to ***, the number of Kuomintang generals who surrendered and was captured was as high as 900,000, which was huge. In order to effectively manage these generals, it is necessary to appoint a commander of the Southwest Military District, who is prestigious enough to deter them, and the best person is **. In the early years of the Sichuan army, his prestige was no less than that of Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou, and even more outstanding than ***. Therefore, choosing ** to be the commander of the Southwest Military Region can more effectively manage these Kuomintang uprising generals. This is also evidenced by the wise decision-making of **. The liberation of the southwest was accomplished jointly by the two major armies, so it is reasonable to let the political commissar of the Second Field Army serve as the political commissar of the Southwest Military Region and let the commander of the Southwest Military Region be the commander. On the contrary, if *** is allowed to serve as the commander of the Southwest Military Region, how will ***'s position in this system be affected?In view of ***'s extraordinary wisdom, once he understands **'s intentions, he is likely to quickly resign, leave the southwest, and go to Nanjing to establish a military academy. It was also an ideal choice for him, and it was his final destination. **As a famous military theorist, known as the contemporary Sun Wu, teaching and educating people is his ambition and ideal.
I am old and my eyesight has become inconvenient, so I can get rid of the shackles of government and military affairs, and I can just take a good rest. Therefore, letting the majestic He Dashuai guard the southwest and let the generous *** go to Nanjing to run a school, for them, it is the best choice, and it also fully demonstrates the foresight of talents.
