Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Looking at Xu Mingyuan with a confused face, He Zhengdao asked the guards to make a dinner for him, but said with a smile: "Eat first! Let's chat while eating, this time you are called here because there is an important task arrangement. Yes For you, it’s a good thing but also a stress.”

A simple sentence made Xu Mingyuan relax a little and said: "Yes, please give the task to the commander!"

Also dining in He Zhengdao's office was political commissar Xiao Jinguang.In any case, as the first main force of the column dispatched to the enemy's rear, as a political commissar, you also need to ask.

After sitting down and eating, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "Mingyuan, if I remember correctly, your hometown is in Zunhua, right? How long has it been since you started the revolution? Relatives?"

Faced with such a laughing question, Xu Mingyuan suddenly said in his heart: "Commander, are you going to send me back to my hometown to fight the war of resistance? In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), I joined the party and went to the Soviet area in southern Jiangxi. I haven't been back for almost five years. home.

There are no relatives in my hometown. When I started the revolution, it was because my family members were forced to death by the landlord. I killed them at night, so I embarked on the road of revolution.However, there are still some relatives in the village, such as uncles. "

Talking about this matter, although Xu Mingyuan felt a little sad.But many veterans of the Red Army knew about his participation in the revolution.It's just that he was only a deputy company commander when he was in the Xiangjiang battle.

Later, after being rescued by He Zhengdao, he was promoted step by step to the position of the current head of the main division.Speaking of which, he can be regarded as He Zhengdao's direct army.After all, most of the officers of the independent column today are the backbone of the independent regiment.

After hearing these words, He Zhengdao said apologetically, "I'm sorry! I didn't expect that you would have such a sad thing when you participated in the revolution. You guessed it right before. The column is planning to send you to eastern Jidong to establish the enemy's rear base.

Since you are a native of Eastern Hebei, you have a better understanding of the situation there and have a certain mass base.I will recommend you to the central government and the headquarters to be the candidate for an independent column to set up a base in eastern Hebei.

The regiment you command will all go with you when the time comes.And your position is the commander of the East Jidong Anti-Japanese Column and concurrently the commander of the East Jidong Army Division.The political commissar of the column is also concurrently served by the current political commissar of the regiment.

As for the chief of staff, Hu Youliang of the Special Warfare Unit served as the chief of staff.At present, the Second Special Warfare Unit has gone ahead of you to explore the way, contacted the local underground party organization, and will take you there when the time comes.

I will give you three regiments time to carry a certain amount of combat supplies, and it is best to arrive in East Jidong before the Spring Festival.I called you here because I wanted to announce this order to you, and also to give you some tasks. "

Although there are many main heads of the independent column, only Xu Mingyuan is the head of the Jidong nationality.As an old party member and old Red Army, Xu Mingyuan's loyalty is still trustworthy, and his combat command ability is also good.

Pulling the three divisions and one regiment under his command to the east of Jidong, I believe it can also deal with some situations.Even if the combat effectiveness of the third division is slightly worse than that of the first and second divisions, but as the main regiment of the main division, the combat effectiveness of the third division and the first regiment is still good.

Even this time, He Zhengdao prepared a thousand 5000-style rifles for Xu Mingyuan.In this case, after arriving in eastern Jidong, his troops can be expanded, and it should not be a problem to expand to [-] in a short time.

Knowing that he had the opportunity to lead the troops back to his hometown to fight against the enemy's rear, Xu Mingyuan naturally felt full of joy.For anyone, this kind of thing is something to be happy about.After all, this is the real defense of the soil!

'Thank you to the commander and political commissar for their trust, and also to the leaders of the central government for their trust. I will definitely do my best to establish a base.And strive to open a new situation in the East Jidong War of Resistance as soon as possible. '

Hearing Xu Mingyuan's assurance, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Sit down first! I sent you there because you are a native of Jidong. If you do mass work, I believe it will be easier to gain the trust and approval of the local people. .

I just called you here specially, and there are some things that need to be explained to you in advance.After arriving in eastern Jidong, your first task is to establish anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines and attack the Japanese and puppet troops that occupied them.

But what needs to be emphasized is that unless you have absolute confidence and certainty, don't draw the attention of the Japanese army too much.First lay a solid mass base, and when recruiting soldiers, it must be done in the same way as the regular army.

According to the information we have received, there are also armed forces behind enemy lines of the Central Army in eastern Jidong.It's just that their current strength there is probably not as good as our guerrillas.After you go, you also need to cooperate with them.

There is just one thing you have to keep in mind, that is, you must establish your dominance in the anti-Japanese war in eastern Jidong.In the future, the second unit of the Saber Special Forces will also cooperate with you in combat and organization of training.

As a veteran of the Red Army, you should know that the current strength of our army is not enough to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army.Therefore, digging deep holes, storing food widely, and training more troops are the things that your column needs to focus on in the future. "

'Yes, Commander! '

After saying these words, Xiao Jinguang, the political commissar, also continued: "Mingyuan, according to the intelligence sent to us by the central government about Jidong, the enemy and puppet forces there are rampant, and the life of the common people is very difficult.

After you pass, focus on the development of rural base areas, and the cities and towns can be left alone for the time being.As the commander said, the first thing you need to do is to expand the strength of the column and lay a good foundation for future counterattacks.

After the Chinese New Year, the column will send a troop into the Jinchaji border area to form an anti-Japanese base behind the enemy.In the future, this base area will form a situation of joint resistance against the enemy's rear with you, and the base area will be connected as soon as possible.

Although this task may be difficult to complete in a short time.But the column still hopes that you can open up the situation as soon as possible after arriving in Jidong.Let the people in Jidong know that after we pass by, we can protect them to a certain extent. "

As the political commissar of the column, Xiao Jinguang also talked about this matter with He Zhengdao earlier.For the main task of this anti-Japanese column, clear instructions were given.That is, expand the troops as low-key as possible to prepare for a full-scale counterattack in the future.

If you really want to make too much noise, let the little devils gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress.With only one main force group, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the all-round suppression of the little devils.Therefore, it is also necessary to avoid the edge of the enemy.

According to the information that He Zhengdao has read, the current situation in Jidong is very serious.The Japanese army, which focused on the south, seemed very relieved about such a large rear area, and most of them sent Japanese and puppet troops to garrison to control the local situation.

It's just in the gap between the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army, and the strategic position here is self-evident.Originally, in history, a large-scale riot would occur here, and many counties in eastern Jibei were once controlled by the Eighth Route Army's armed forces behind enemy lines.

But in the end, this massive resistance riot was extinguished at an astonishing speed. Not to mention the loss of a lot of anti-Japanese forces, it also cost the lives of many soldiers and civilians participating in the war of resistance.

In He Zhengdao's view, this time Xu Mingyuan was sent to lead the resistance war behind the enemy, and he hoped that Xu Mingyuan could endure loneliness.The gains and losses of one city and one place, as far as the current situation is concerned, can't change much the overall situation.

If we can reserve more counterattack forces, perhaps at the right time, this anti-Japanese column that has entered the east of Jidong can play an unexpected role.Therefore, He Zhengdao hoped that Xu Mingyuan would carry out the war of resistance steadily and steadily, rather than rushing for success.

After dinner, He Zhengdao deliberately found a map of Jidong, and discussed with Xu Mingyuan the location of the base of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Column.Facing such detailed explanations and exhortations, Xu Mingyuan also knew that He Zhengdao attached great importance to him.

'Mingyuan, for the specific situation, we have to wait for you to get there and deploy according to the actual situation.You are also an old man in the column. I believe you are familiar with the formation of the guerrillas and armed forces behind the column.

After arriving in East Jidong, you can also fight small battles to accumulate victories just like you did on the column side.Seized weapons and supplies from the Japanese and puppet troops, and recruited local poor children to expand the army.

My request to you is that if the main force of your column does not reach a regular division, try not to attack the Japanese county.Instead, find a way to compress the control area of ​​the local Japanese and puppet troops and take down the rural areas in eastern Hebei.

Regarding the combat policy of our army this year, I believe you have also received the corresponding documents.The general premise is that we will not make any major moves this year. We will focus more on developing base areas behind enemy lines and expanding our troops behind enemy lines.

I also hope that when I see you again in the future, you can become a truly famous column commander.As the main regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army from East Jidong, I have given you this opportunity to protect the border and keep the people safe. I hope you will not let me down. '

'Please rest assured, Commander, Mingyuan promises to complete the task and live up to your trust! '

Looking at Xu Mingyuan with a serious expression, He Zhengdao also nodded and said: "Now the central government and the headquarters still have great expectations for you, the anti-Japanese column. When you leave tomorrow, I will ask the government to prepare some money for you.

Although there are not too many, when we reach the enemy's rear, no matter whether it is supplies or money, we can only rely on seizures.If you don't have some money, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to carry out the work smoothly.But this money, I hope you will hand it over ten times in the future! "

Not to mention the provision of sufficient weapons and ammunition, but also a certain amount of development funds.Hearing such words, Xu Mingyuan also felt that if the situation could not be opened up in Jidong like this, he really couldn't explain to He Zhengdao! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Compared with many people in the south, they still bear the pain brought about by the war.In Shaanxi, which is controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the people are busy preparing for the new year.In some commercial streets in the base area, good business makes merchants smile.

The ones who are as happy as the merchants are naturally the border region governments of the various base areas. The merchants' business is good, and the commercial tax they can collect is correspondingly high.This virtuous circle has made many border region governments, which are struggling with financial constraints, breathe a sigh of relief.

As the resident of the central government, Yan'an also ushered in a group of horses and horses escorting supplies into Yan'an during the New Year.It's just that compared with the new year goods sent to Yan'an from other bases, the things sent by Yulin this year are undoubtedly more generous.

Looking at the new year gifts that He Zhengdao gave to the heads of the central government and their families, Taizu Mao also smiled and said: "This boy, the wool really comes from the sheep. Last year, I gave shawls and waistcoats, but this year I changed them to woolen sweaters and sheepskin coats. .”

Zhou Enlai, who also returned to Yan'an to celebrate the New Year and report on his work, smiled and said, "Don't mention it, the workmanship and quality of these clothes are good. It seems that wearing this kind of fur coat when going out in this weather is indeed much warmer!"

Although they are the leaders of the central government, most of the clothes these central leaders usually wear are military uniforms produced by clothing factories.Nowadays, this kind of high-end fur coat really makes many heads of the central government who receive the new year's goods happy.

Even for such New Year's goods, He Zhengdao did not forget to prepare a set for the division-level cadres of the main divisions.Even their family members in Yan'an also received a new year's gift, which made all the teachers feel grateful for He Zhengdao's kindness.

If you change it to the usual delivery, maybe others will say something gossip.But in this kind of New Year's time, it's hard for others to say much.After all, it is human nature to reciprocate courtesy!

It's just that compared to previous years, the independent column sent New Year's goods to the government of Yulin Border Region, and more of them were only responsible for giving gifts to the heads of the central government.The officers and soldiers sent to deliver New Year's goods this year have a special task.

Chen Siya's parents felt a little surprised when they saw Li Xiangdong, the reconnaissance brigade commander of the independent column, kept moving things into the yard.On the other hand, the other teachers who live with them seem somewhat envious.

It's a pity, why didn't they have a beautiful daughter?

Although He Zhengdao and Chen Siya are not yet engaged, many people in the Central Station know that the two have confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.Maybe, after the Spring Festival, the two may arrange a marriage!

Just looking at the New Year's goods piled up in the yard, Chen Siya's father also said a little worriedly: "Brigade Commander Li, are these things too much? There are only three of us, how can we eat so much dry goods?"
