When it comes to the Fourth Field Army, we have to mention a group of troops that advanced into the Northeast at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is these troops that constitute the foundation of the Fourth Field Army. Since the September 18th Incident, the Northeast has fallen into the hands of the Japanese aggressors. At that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which had the flowers of the imperial army, had been stationed in the northeast.

Therefore, the face that the enemy in Northeast China is strong and we are weak has not changed until the end of the Anti-Japanese War. 1On August 8, 945, according to the Yalta Agreement, after the Soviet Union defeated Germany, it declared war on Japan and sent troops to the northeast. In less than half a month, the once mighty Japanese Kwantung Army quickly collapsed and was completely annihilated.

The Northeast Anti-Union, which insisted on the war of resistance in the northeast, also marched into the northeast with the Soviet army. At the same time, under the command of the Central Military Commission, some troops in the liberated areas began to enter the northeast region nearby to fight against the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition forces and the Soviet Red Army.

March to the northeast

On August 1945 and 1 1 day, Shandong Military Region, Shanxi-Chaji Military Region and Jinsui Military Region began to deploy troops to March to the northeast. Soon, Lu, Lu, and Lu led some troops to March on Jehol, Liaoning and Chahar.

Subsequently, Li Yunchang, commander and political commissar of the Hebei-Hot-Liao Military Region, led more than 65,438+10,000 people into the Northeast. When Li Yunchang led his troops to fight against the Japanese aggressors and traitors, more than 5,000 people in the second echelon, which was composed of teams directly under the Hebei-Hot-Liao Military Region and four regiments, began to cross Shanhaiguan and enter the northeast.

At the same time, Shandong base, which is separated from the northeast by a sea, began to send more than 600 people from Penglai Jiaodong Independent Camp, led by Zou Dapeng, to cross Bohai Bay and March to the northeast by sea.

However, the national government was not idle at this time. At the same time that the Soviet Union launched the war against Japan, the Kuomintang also began to March into the Northeast on a large scale, trying to win the fruits of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and civil war was imminent.

In this critical situation, the Central Committee of China formulated? North extension and south defense? Northeast China has become a strategic focus. Therefore, the central government began to further deploy its forces from the liberated areas in Shanhaiguan Pass to the northeast. The Central Military Commission decided to set up 65,438+000 regiments to take cadres and main forces into the Northeast.

After Zou Dapeng led the advance team to enter the Northeast by sea, according to the investigation by Zou Dapeng, the Shandong Branch dispatched 4 divisions with about 30,000 people to enter the Northeast by sea again.

Subsequently, the Central Committee set up the Northeast Bureau with Peng Zhen as its secretary to take charge of the Northeast work. On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, the troops marching into the Northeast in batches and in multiple ways were unified to form the Northeast People's Autonomous Army, with Lin Biao as the commander.

In addition to the main forces marching into the Northeast, there are more than 20,000 cadres sent to the Northeast from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi-Chaji, Jinsui, Yan 'an, Shandong and Central China Liberated Areas.

After the main forces and cadres marched into the northeast, they fought resolutely against the Kuomintang troops, seized Japanese and puppet weapons, wiped out bandits and traitors, and established people's political power.
