Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

He Zhengdao, who set out from Yulin, led the first reorganized division and arrived here smoothly.Stepping out here also means that they, who have just been expanded into the New 67th Army, will officially enter the Kuomintang-controlled area controlled by the Central Army to fight.

Considering the hard work of the troops marching all the way, He Zhengdao, who arrived here, gave the order for the troops to rest for a day before setting off in due course.Taking advantage of the day's rest time, they were able to join the second division that followed them smoothly.

Choosing to enter the territory of Henan from here instead of directly entering the territory of Hubei has more righteous intentions.As the Battle of Xuzhou ended due to the breach of the Yellow River, the Central Army's garrison in Henan was much smaller than before.

Many of the units with intact organizational systems have also been transferred to the front line one after another to join the upcoming defense of Wuhan.The troops retreated and changed defenses, realizing that the defense in this area would become more chaotic, and it also created some opportunities for He Zhengdao.

According to the opinions discussed by He Zhengdao, Taizu Mao, Boss Zhu and others, taking advantage of this time, the main force marched into the Kuomintang-controlled area openly.A group of selected military workers from the enemy's rear will also follow the large troops into Henan.

When the large troops leave, these military workers will also disperse to the territory of Henan.One is to secretly expand the guerrilla zone, and the other is to do some intelligence gathering work.After all, the current situation in Henan is also not optimistic.

Although relying on the incident of the Yellow River breaking its embankment, the Central Army successfully defended Zhengzhou.However, the Japanese army still operating in Henan has also occupied many places in Henan.This means that this is not only the Kuomintang-controlled area, but also the enemy-occupied area.

Watching the supplies transported by the transportation brigade arrive in the Shangnan area one after another.After the inspection, He Zhengdao also asked the car brigade in charge of transportation to return.This car brigade is also very precious to the Eighth Route Army.

The Shangluo garrison brigade commander who accompanied He Zhengdao to count the supplies soon heard He Zhengdao say: "Brigade Commander Liu, the following supplies need you to work harder and help us store and transport them.

Later, our political commissar Xiao will also come over. This time we will go to the Dabie Mountain area and will bring some supplies there.But more supplies will be handed over to our supply troops for transportation.At that time, the task of escorting will be left to you. "

Although the new 67th Army was invited by the Central Army to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.But for He Zhengdao who entered the Dabie Mountains to garrison, if they wanted to transport supplies from Shaanxi to the front line, they still had to pass through the defense zone of the Central Army.

Even if the Central Army did not dare to rob supplies with open eyes and boldness, there was no guarantee that they would make some shady tricks.This means that He Zhengdao needs to arrange some latent reconnaissance guerrilla teams on the way of material transportation to pay attention to the movements of the Central Army.

In addition, when materials are transported, it is inevitable to send troops to participate in the escort task.These days, in addition to being wary of little devils and the central army robbing supplies, many bandits and robbers who occupy the mountains as kings also need to be careful.

For these bandits and robbers, some were supported by little devils, and some were real outlaws.Even as the Eighth Route Army entered the Kuomintang-controlled area, He Zhengdao also had to worry about some demon moth coming out of the Central Army.

These days, as long as you have money and promise to make a lot of money, I'm afraid that many bandits will dare to smack the Eighth Route Army's tiger's beard.As for the Central Army, it only needs to give some money and a little profit, and perhaps a large number of bandits will rob the Eighth Route Army's transport supplies.

In order to ensure the safety of materials, it is also in order not to disrupt the formation of the main force.Escorting supplies should naturally be handed over to the local garrison.Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of these garrison troops is actually not weak.

Even when the Eighth Route Army took over the entire territory of Shaanxi, the garrison brigade deployed in Shangluo was the last main division with the same combat effectiveness as the number of troops.If the Central Army dares to send troops into Shaanxi from here, it also needs to pass through the Shangluo garrison brigade first.

For He Zhengdao's polite words, Shangluo Garrison Brigade Commander also said very seriously: "Commander He, please rest assured! The chairman and the commander-in-chief have a special explanation for the escort mission of this batch of supplies.

As long as you need to transport supplies, our garrison brigade will definitely find a way to transport the supplies you need to the front line.If there is anything we can do to help, Commander He please give the order. "

Upon hearing Brigadier Liu's answer, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "I don't dare to do this! I believe the headquarters has also explained the issue of material transportation. After a while, the commander-in-chief should send some elite soldiers over.

I know, you've always wanted to go to the front and fight the little devils.But by staying here, you are actually protecting the safety of the central government.If there is an escort mission in the future, you can deploy some elite battalion-level troops.

If you are lucky, there will be battles at the front again.I can ask the commander-in-chief to let the troops involved in the escort mission participate in the front-line battle.In my opinion, the troops still have to experience actual combat in order to train a truly elite army! "

Upon hearing this, Brigadier Liu said happily: "Commander He, you said this! Although I know that our garrison brigade has a great responsibility. But you also know that I am a soldier, and I prefer Front line!

Right now our garrison brigade, although it often acts as a reserve for the main force.But if we can, we still like to go to the battlefield and fight the little devils with real knives and guns.No matter how well you practice, isn't it also for fighting? "

The garrison regiment commanders and garrison brigade commanders who know the base area are actually mostly military cadres selected from the main force.For these military cadres, transfer to the garrison seems to be a promotion.

But for many soldiers who really yearn for the battlefield, no one likes this kind of promotion.Because they all know that in the current period of cooperation between the two parties, the more role of the garrison is to guard the base area and defend and guard.

Such a task is really uncomfortable for soldiers who are used to fighting on the battlefield.Knowing this, He Zhengdao told Brigadier Liu that he would give the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade a chance to exercise on the battlefield.

'rest assured!Troop training is also what the commander-in-chief has always emphasized.Perhaps the current you don't have many opportunities to go to the battlefield.But I believe that in the future, you will definitely have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.But at this time, it may take a while.

In fact, without you guarding the base in the rear, we front-line troops would not dare to fight on the front line with peace of mind.If you really want to train a group of troops to go to the battlefield, then you need to do a good job of screening.

In addition, you must control the ratio of veterans to recruits.Use the old to bring in the new, use fighting as a substitute for training, and strive to gradually improve the military combat effectiveness of your garrison brigade.Perhaps in the future, you may be promoted to combat troops.

Now we are about to go to the Kuomintang-controlled area to fight against the little devils. I believe that the situation in the three provinces of Hubei, Henan and Anhui will become very complicated in the future.This means that we may fight behind enemy lines with the little devils in these three provinces.

Moreover, in the future, there will be a large number of Central Army troops in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions.As far as the current strength of the little devils is concerned, it is impossible for them to send troops to occupy too many places, and most of them are to garrison those important cities.

And the vast countryside will also be the space for our development.If it is even possible, in the future we will need to compete with the armed forces behind enemy lines of the Central Army for territory.Your garrison brigade is the closest to Henan, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to enter the front line to fight in the future?

It's just that now, one of the problems in the garrison troops is that there are too few veterans.You and I are both cadres who have led soldiers. We know that too many recruits in an army is a very dangerous thing.If you don't go to the battlefield, you never know how cruel the battlefield is.

I also hope that, taking advantage of this opportunity for us to advance into the Kuomintang-controlled area, we will slowly draw a group of well-trained garrison troops from the rear and add them to our front-line combat troops, so that they can feel the cruelty of the battlefield.

Perhaps such an approach will cause certain losses to the troops participating in the war.But I believe that those officers and soldiers who have survived from the battlefield will become the fist troops of the garrison in the future, and they are qualified for the tasks and missions of the main force. '

As the commander of the independent column, he is now the commander of the No.60 Seventh Army.He Zhengdao also knew very well that in some of the garrison troops in Yulin and Suiyuan, many officers and soldiers also envied the frontline troops for having the opportunity to fight the little devils.

But as a garrison, their task is more to defend and guard.As for the chance to participate in the war, in fact, they don't have many.Under such circumstances, many officers and soldiers of the garrison are eager to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

It is also in consideration of the demands of the officers and soldiers of the garrison that when expanding the new 67th Army this time, He Zhengdao gave priority to selecting a group of garrison troops with excellent military literacy from the garrison troops.

With veterans and military backbones of the main force as commanders, the current Third Infantry Division was expanded.But right now, if we really want to talk about the combat effectiveness of the troops, the combat effectiveness of the third division must worry He Zhengdao the most.

Fortunately, the third division still has two backbone regiments, which were transferred from the first division and the second division.With the support of these two old main groups, He Zhengdao believed that the three divisions would not have any major problems in the defensive and blocking battle.

Although the garrison troops stationed in Yulin are eager to go to the battlefield, other garrison troops naturally have this emotion.Knowing that these troops had this kind of thinking, He Zhengdao only mentioned it in the last discussion.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to transport supplies to the front line, a group of outstanding officers and soldiers with relatively good military training performances are continuously selected from the rear garrison to serve as escorts to the front line and join the reserve team of the attacking force.

If the front-line troops suffer too many casualties, these selected troops can quickly be added to the front-line troops.If there is no need to supplement for the time being, it is also very necessary to let these troops go to the front line to experience actual combat.

After all, He Zhengdao always believes that a soldier who has never been on the battlefield and never actually shot an enemy is a recruit no matter how well trained he is! (To be continued.)

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

When He Zhengdao led a division to Shangluo, and was about to step into the territory of Henan.The Lu'an and Huoshan defense lines, which were in charge of defense and blocking by the fifth theater, were officially broken.Hearing the news of the failure of the frontline blockade, Li Zongren was naturally outraged.

It can be seen that most of the blocking troops that retreated to the rear lost their generals.If they said that they didn't play hard, it would be impossible to say such a thing.In fact, in order to break through the defense line of the Fifth Theater, the Japanese Second Army also paid a considerable price.

With the withdrawal of the Central Army from the Lu'an area, a second line of defense began to be established in Xinyang, Henan and Macheng, Hubei.Li Zongren also really realized that the troops he can mobilize seem to be many, but the actual combat effectiveness is not very strong.

In the battle between Lu'an and Huoshan, Song Xilian's 71st Army lost nearly one division, while the 42nd Army, which also participated in blocking Sun Lianzhong, suffered more casualties than the 71st Army.When retreating, Sun Lianzhong also felt extremely sad.

It's just that Sun Lianzhong is very clear that his 42nd Army has been fighting the elite of the little devils.In the Xuzhou battle that ended in the previous episode, they also fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army in the Taierzhuang area, and most of the troops deployed now are recruits.

It is normal to have such a large number of casualties with such a force to stop the little devil.Li Zongren, who also knew this truth, faced Sun Lianzhong who was also indignant, and he was also not good at saying anything.

After all, Sun Lianzhong's 42nd Army was indeed a tough army on the anti-Japanese battlefield.But the fact that the blocking failed is here, what can Li Zongren say?Who told little devils to be difficult to deal with?

Seeing that after the Japanese army occupied Lu'an, they actually divided their troops into two groups and planned to attack Wuhan directly from the side.Li Zongren also realized that the little devil wanted to decide the overall situation in one battle.Through them, directly open the channel to attack Wuhan.

Compared with the area defended by the Ninth Theater and the First Corps at the moment, the flanks defended by the Fifth Theater are indeed worrying about their combat effectiveness.Except for Song Xilian's 71st Army, the last elite ace unit, the other units are not strong in combat effectiveness.

Regarding this situation, Li Zongren also said angrily: "Damn you, you really have determined my fifth war zone. By the way, have you received a telegram from the 67th Army? Their vanguard is there now ?”

'Report to Chief Li, did not receive their telegram today.However, we received a telegram from them the day before yesterday that they had arrived in Shangluo.I believe that by this time, they should have entered the territory of Henan, right? '

'Are you in Shangluo?Get the map! '

No one would have thought that the situation on the front line would become like this.Even if Li Zongren felt that after the Lu'an blockade, the attacking Japanese army also needed a little time to rest.But this time will definitely not be too long.

With the usual tactics of the Japanese army, they will definitely send some elite troops to launch a tentative attack before the main force.In this case, slowly following the advancing main force can also get a certain amount of rest time.
