Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Listening to the intelligence officer's words, Lao Jiang frowned a little but felt that this situation might make sense, why the 77th Army could achieve such a victory.But who is this helper?It is also worth exploring by Lao Jiang!

"Commissioned seat, our intelligence gathering capabilities on the front line are not strong, and it is also an area heavily defended by little devils."We currently don't know anything about what happened there.But this matter, I'm afraid it has something to do with Yan'an! '

Such words made Lao Jiang's expression look a little ugly in an instant: "This matter has something to do with the Eighth Route Army? But in the telegram sent by Li Zongren earlier, it was also mentioned that only one division of the Eighth Route Army has just arrived in Xinyang." !

That is the defense zone of Anhui. The little devils have just occupied Lu'an, and we still don't have many troops there.Under such circumstances, how could the Eighth Route Army run so fast to help Feng Zhian win this battle? "

'This is also something that humble officials can't understand! '

Just as the two began to speculate, who was secretly helping the 77th Army win this battle.Lao Jiang's attendant came in and said, "Commissioner, according to the latest information just received, Dizhou Libing was really shot to death!"

'The news is confirmed! '

'Yes!According to the news just confirmed, in addition to Dizhou Libing, the Japanese lieutenant general, a major general brigade commander of the No. 13 division was also shot dead. The victory of the 77th Army does not seem to be a fraud. '

After the attendant reported the news, Lao Jiang said with a slightly serious expression: "Deep into the enemy's rear, took out the artillery positions that the little devil was defending heavily, and even destroyed the little devil's division headquarters.

This kind of combat method seems to be somewhat similar to the previous tactics of the Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army.Now it seems that this He Zhengdao is very dishonest.Before he arrived in Xinyang, he should have dispatched an elite advance force.

If nothing else, he must have discussed this matter with the 77th Army.Some time ago, the military command reported to me that there were Communist activities in the 77th Army, and I haven't paid much attention to it.Now it seems that their method of wooing is still very clever! "

For Lao Jiang, the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army are now not only competing for territory, but also fighting for the anti-Japanese troops they can win.Except for his direct line troops, the Eighth Route Army may not be able to win over, but these miscellaneous troops are very likely.

Especially like the 77th Army and the 51st Army, they are basically the Northwest and Northeast Army.These two local warlord forces have always had close contact with Yan'an in private.This also means that the Eighth Route Army is also wooing these troops.

It was precisely because he was worried that these troops would be pulled over by the Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang hoped that most of these troops would be annexed or withdrawn.Only in this way can it be possible to cut off the possibility of the Eighth Route Army pulling these troops into their camp.

Looking at Lao Jiang with changing expressions, the intelligence officer continued after he calmed down: "Commissioner, should you send the news about the victory of the 77th Army by telegram? With this news, the people must be very excited." of."

'yes!I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army is determined, knowing that we need such a victory to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance, so they dare to do this kind of thing that requires no credit but to win over the 77th Army.

never mind!Notify the Propaganda Department and report the news immediately.At the same time, generate electricity for Feng Zhian, and I will award him the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.All the casualties and meritorious soldiers reported by them will be rewarded heavily. '

'Yes, delegate!Then I will prepare to broadcast this news now! '

When the intelligence officer left Lao Jiang's office, Lao Jiang, who had realized that the Eighth Route Army was more terrifying than he imagined, also felt that this matter was a headache.But he somewhat understood that it was not time to tear his face apart.

Regardless of whether the 77th Army's victory was behind the Eighth Route Army's cooperation or not.It is also very rare for the fifth theater and the entire Wuhan defense war. The 77th Army, at least nominally, is under the jurisdiction of the Central Army.

With this big victory, I believe that the people will have more confidence in the Central Army's active resistance.At least for many people who doubt the determination of the Central Army to resist the war, it is the most favorable reason to refute.

When Lao Jiang realized that the Eighth Route Army was involved behind the scenes.The Eighth Route Army headquarters and the Central Committee, which also received the telegram from He Zhengdao, were also excited by the news.After all, this is also called a successful victory!

Only Boss Peng said with a little dissatisfaction: "This kid is really generous! Such a great contribution, you can give it if you say it!"

"Boss, I think Xiao He's doing so has some benefits."If this is the credit, we really deserve it.I'm afraid that Xiao He and the others will be more vigilant and guarded against them when they are there.

And this time, Xiao He gave the 77th Army such a big credit, and they owe us a favor no matter what the reason.This will still be of great help to our united front work in the future! '

Zuo Quan, who stood aside, felt that He Zhengdao's decision was actually very wise.Instead of asking for such illusory credit, it is better to ask for some real benefits.

Now that He Zhengdao has been promoted to general of the people, if he makes great contributions again, how should Lao Jiang reward him then?If Lao Jiang thinks that the 67th Army is so powerful, and then specially arranges some tough battles, what should the 67th Army do?

I believe every general knows the truth that those who can do more work.Now that He Zhengdao entered the battlefield of the Wuhan battle, he kept a low profile and acted properly, which was far more rational and wise than making a high-profile show.

Regarding what Zuo Quan said, Boss Zhu also agreed with him: "If the credit is really on our shoulders, I'm afraid Lao Jiang will feel ashamed again. They have worked hard for a long time, and they are not as good as Xiao He's harvest. , How can it be embarrassing?

Now the credit goes to the 77th Army, which can not only gain the gratitude of the 77th Army's senior management, but also increase their popularity.With this military achievement, it may not be so easy for Lao Jiang to annex or withdraw them in the future.

If we can now bring the Northeast Army and Northwest Army who are active on the Anti-Japanese War to our side, I think it’s okay to give a credit?Most importantly, Xiao He has a lot of credits like this! "

While the three of them were discussing this matter, Qiu Jingshan, as the military representative assigned to the 77th Army, also sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in due course, explaining Feng Zhian's promise.

Knowing that Feng Ru'an has made it clear that they will fight side by side with the Eighth Route Army in the future, Boss Zhu also smiled and said: "Okay! Although the 77th Army is no longer as brave as it used to be, it is still a rare army that dares to fight with the little devils." .

If we can get their support and recognition, it will still play a very important role in our incorporation of the Northwest Army in the future.After all, with our own strength alone, it is still difficult to shake the Central Army in a short time.

If we can get the support of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, in the future we will have a conflict with the Central Army, which side they stand on will also have important political significance.Presumably that kid is also aware of this! "

After such an analysis, Boss Peng also felt that it made sense.It's just that He Zhengdao has just arrived in the war zone, and what tasks they will take on next is also a matter of concern to the heads of the central government and the headquarters! (To be continued.)

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

After He Zhengdao led the first division to officially enter the Shuangping area to rest, the second division of the New 67th Army also joined forces with the first division in a very low-key way the next night, and quickly settled in the camp that had been leveled out in advance, so that those who had traveled long distances The troops have to rest and reorganize. lWxS520.coＱ

Luo Ruiqing, who came with the Second Division, also received the battle where the reconnaissance brigade beat the little devil by the Shihe on the way.As the chief of staff of the 67th Army, he also truly realized that the reconnaissance brigade is indeed worthy of being the fist unit of the independent column.

With the strength of only two regiments, the little devil's rear was turned into a mess.Not to mention disrupting the Japanese army's offensive rhythm, it also made the No.13 Division have to rest and replenish.The killing of the head of the division also means that new generals need to be dispatched.

Even after arriving at the temporary station, Luo Ruiqing also said excitedly: "Commander, we have made a good start!"

'It's good to do this kind of thing once in a while, but if you want to do it in the future, I'm afraid the little devil won't give us a chance.We can't take care of things on the front line for the time being. For now, I'd better let the troops rest first!

The place we are now is actually pretty good, let our supply troops start bringing supplies over!In order to ensure our material supply, I suggest establishing a stable material supply point in the Dabie Mountains.

Although the little devil interrupted the rhythm of our attack with our surprise attack, the No. 16 division of the little devil has now joined the wounded No. 13 division.In two days' time, they would still launch an attack on Xinyang.

Now there is not much time left for us to rest and recuperate. We must persist in the war of resistance here for a while.We must also set up facilities such as material supply points and rear hospitals as soon as possible.I would like to ask the chief of staff to take more responsibility for this matter. '

'good!Around the Dabie Mountains, it is still very necessary to establish a rear base that is conducive to our war of resistance.Now let's choose a good place first, and I'm afraid that the political commissar and Director Luo will be responsible for the follow-up matters.

If we can gain a foothold here, our Central China Military Region can be formed.Although our current contact with the headquarters still needs to go through the defense zone of the Central Army.But this distance is actually not too far. '

The proposal for the establishment of the Central China Military Region was also formulated when the 67th Army set off this time.The main base of this military region is in the Dabie Mountains area.And the role of this military region is more of an outpost for the Eighth Route Army to march into the south.

Once the Eighth Route Army can gain a firm foothold here, in the future, in addition to blocking the Central Army from the south, it will also be able to pinch the Central Army in Henan.The troops of the Eighth Route Army were transferred from Northwest China to the Central Plains battlefield.

Although such a layout, it seems somewhat premature.But both Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu knew the truth of 'preparing for a rainy day'.Some things are better prepared in advance than cramming.

When He Zhengdao was busy establishing the Dabie Mountain base, Li Zongren, who led a guard group to Shuangping, also did not notify He Zhengdao in advance.It seems that he really wants to test the vigilance level of He Zhengdao's troops.

What he didn't expect was that when he entered the ten-kilometer range of the 67th Army, the guard group he led fell into the sight of the reconnaissance unit.If it weren't for seeing that they were all from the Central Army, the reconnaissance team didn't bother too much.

When Li Zongren entered three kilometers from the 67th Army's garrison, a temporary checkpoint set up by a reconnaissance company appeared in Li Zongren's sight.Li Zongren was also surprised to see that a whistle was set up here.

After the outposts of the two armies came into contact, Li Zongren also asked curiously, "Why are you setting up outposts here?"

'Report to Chief Li, there have been a lot of unidentified spies on the outskirts of our station recently.In order to ensure the safety of our army, our army commander specially arranged peripheral mobile posts.As for this checkpoint, it has only just been established.

When you came here earlier, our outer guard posts had already spotted your whereabouts.In order to avoid misunderstanding, we only temporarily set up posts here.This is done to avoid possible misunderstandings. '

What the reconnaissance company commander said surprised Li Zongren.It seems that they and their party were discovered by the 67th Army a long time ago.If they set up an ambush in advance, I'm afraid these guards really won't get any benefits.

But when they came all the way, they also arranged guard posts and outposts, and they didn't seem to find any problems.Now it seems that the vigilance level of the 67th Army is indeed a bit beyond his expectations!

At such a distance from the garrison, a security force was arranged, and it would not be so easy to sneak attack them.As for the distance of about three kilometers, once it is an enemy, the 67th Army also has time to prepare.

After briefly explaining the situation to Li Zongren, the reconnaissance company commander said: "Commander Li, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I will report your arrival. This is also the duty of our patrol team, please forgive me, Commander Li."
