After the Central Military Commission decided to adjust and form 13 army groups based on the original 18 army groups, the subordinate relationship of the newly formed army groups was disclosed to the public through official media reports recently. Among them, the newly formed 71th army belongs to the Army of the Eastern Theater.
On May 11, 2017, China Youth Daily mentioned in an article entitled “mom and dad: When you see this letter, I have already rushed to the battlefield” published in the 12th edition of “military Weekly,” In April, 2016, a brigade of the 71th Army of the Army in the eastern war zone where Fang Xiaosong was located wrote such a letter to his home.”
The information disclosed in the report also includes the letter-writing activity organized by the brigade in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province named “if you go to the battlefield tomorrow, leave a letter to your family”, and the political commissar of the brigade is Zhang Zhendong.
The above-mentioned public news reports from the official media confirmed that the 71 TH Group Army, which was the first commander of the 38th Army Army General Wang Yinfang, belonged to the army in the Eastern Theater.
After the establishment of the PLA Army leading body and war zone, according to the principle of “The general manager of the Military Commission, the main battle zone and the main construction of the Army”, the original 18 army groups were re-assigned to the leaders of the five major war zones in the southeast and northwest.
On April 27, 2017, a spokesman of the Ministry of Defense announced that the Central Military Commission decided to adjust and form 13 group armies based on the original 18 group armies. The names of these 13 groups were from the 71th group army to the 83 TH Group Army.
Subsequently, the official media disclosed the subordinate relationship between the newly formed group army and the war zone army one after another. For example, the 75th army belongs to the southern theater Army, the 77th army belongs to the Western Theater Army, the 79th army belongs to the northern theater Army, and the 82th army belongs to the Central Theater Army.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that according to previous reports by the military media, Wang Jie, the former 12th Army of the Army in the Eastern Theater in Xuzhou, has been carrying out the activity of “If you go to the battlefield tomorrow, leave a letter to your relatives. The political commissar of the former 12th Army hero Wang Jie was also Zhang Zhendong.
For example, in December, 2016, China military network reported that “the veterans of the 12th Army of the eastern war zone, Wang Jie, collectively submitted to the organization that if there was a war, they would be called back-a never-expired application letter. However, at this moment, the recruits of this brigade had not been connected yet, and they collectively submitted them at the gun-giving ceremony. If there was a war, I would go on-if I went to the battlefield tomorrow, I told my relatives something about the battlefield family.”
On April 30, 2017, the text and text message released by the official WeChat of the eastern war zone said, “the ideological basis of Wang Jie’s troops in the eastern war zone for the officers and soldiers to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time, ready to shed blood at any time, and ready to win the battle at any time, let the preparation for war become the strongest voice of the military camp. If you go to the battlefield tomorrow, leave a letter to your relatives.”
