Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Even if such a fight would cause the Eighth Route Army to deploy some main forces to garrison Henan to fight against the Japanese army who was unwilling to give up Henan.But even so, Boss Zhu felt that it was better than letting the little devil go to Shaanxi to fight.

As the rear area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, Shaanxi is currently doing well in various developments.If it attracts swordsmen, it will undoubtedly affect the development of the Eighth Route Army.The consequences will be even more unfavorable to the Eighth Route Army.

However, He Zhengdao proposed that he would rather use Henan as a war zone, and must stop the enemy from outside the base area, which was approved by the central government and most heads of the headquarters.If Henan can be recovered, the strategic significance to the Eighth Route Army will be even greater! (To be continued.)

He Zhengdao, who was staying in Shangqiu, also felt a little speechless after receiving the telegram from the headquarters.From the telegram sent by Boss Zhu, He Zhengdao could feel the care of the old chief, but he also felt that the impression he gave was not stable.

As a senior commander of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao is still eager to go to the battlefield.But he also knows that his main task now is not to go to the front line to fight in person, but to sit in the rear and command the troops to fight.

Now let Boss Zhu directly send a telegram to remind him, He Zhengdao feels somewhat embarrassed.In fact, with the increase in the number of battles commanded by troops, He Zhengdao has shown restraint.

Seeing Xu Hao's expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to do so, He Zhengdao couldn't help but become a little annoyed and said, "You son of a bitch, is it hard to hold back? Do you think this journey is too easy, do you want to give you some combat orders?" ?”

As a result, Xu Hao, who heard this, immediately said: "Commander, the political commissar told you when you came out. We have only one task, and that is to ensure your safety and not let you out of our sight.

If there is a combat mission, we will still find a way to complete it.But for me, I still have to follow the commander.Otherwise, if the political commissar finds out, he will definitely take my skin off.Your safety is the most important! "

'okay!Do you all think I'm a war freak?Although I don't pay much attention to the little devil, I also know where I am now.I might not be able to handle the little devil if I really recruited it.I will not provoke them!

Let our reconnaissance team set off first in the early morning to contact the third regiment of the 117th Division in Shangqiu.For the sake of safety, it is best to choose a place. I will meet with their regiment leader, and then go to the base area of ​​Hebei, Shandong and Henan. '

'yes!I will arrange the task later! '

The next day, the liaison team sent by the guard battalion left the small valley where they stayed overnight early in the morning.Let the liaison officer sent by Li Xiangdong go to the place where the third regiment of the 117th division is located, and implement the communication between He Zhengdao and the other regiment leader.

Arriving at the base of the third regiment, looking at the elite soldiers beside the liaison officer, the head of the third regiment asked curiously: "Xiao Du, are these comrades also from your army?"

As the main regiment leader of the Duzhen side, even the third regiment is a newly expanded unit of the 117th division.But the backbone of this regiment is all military backbones from the Red Fourth Front Army.The head of the regiment is naturally an old man of the Red Fourth Front Army.

For the people in the column, the people in the Red Fourth Front Army are more grateful.During the Long March, if the column had not prepared a lot of supplies in advance, I am afraid that many of them would not have been able to reach the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base area smoothly.

In addition, the current commander and political commissar of the 117th Division have reminded the officers in the division to befriend the people in the column and respect He Zhengdao of the column.Even many of the new battalion and regiment commanders of the 117th Division are students of He Zhengdao.

Every time the headquarters issued an order for training, many company and battalion commanders who were fighting in the enemy's rear hoped to have the opportunity to go to the teaching brigade in Yulin to study and train for a period of time.After returning, they will all be reused by the old troops.

And these company and battalion commanders who have returned from training will be significantly improved in terms of personal combat ability and command level.What's more, the column is also the first of the ten main divisions of the Eighth Route Army to be expanded into an army.

For various reasons, the third regiment established an anti-Japanese base in Shangqiu.Knowing that the column that went south to cooperate with the battle actually had troops operating in the Guoyang area, I was naturally very happy.

Even the current base areas of the two troops still need to pass through many enemy-occupied areas.But since they got in touch, Santuan also felt that having an extra neighbor would be of great benefit to them.

When the two troops established a communication channel for the first time, Li Xiangdong sent a lot of food, guns and ammunition to the third regiment.With these supporting materials and ammunition, life in Shangqiu was much easier for the third regiment.

Even Xu Xiangqian, who heard the news, said with a smile: "If you have time, contact the people in the column more often. Li Xiangdong, that is He Zhengdao's most trusted commander, and the troops under his command are the elite troops of the column.

If there is a chance, some military backbones will be transferred from your regiment to learn from Brigadier Li's reconnaissance brigade.If you have any difficulties, you can also ask them to help.These guys are the local rich men in our main division! "

In the eyes of other main division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao, who was in charge of managing the arsenal, undoubtedly had the advantage of being close to the water and gaining the moon first.The weapons developed by the arsenal are often equipped with columns of troops first.

In recent years, including the 117th Division, they have also received many new weapons from the headquarters.From submachine guns to officers' sidearms, plus large-caliber mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns, there are not too many good things for every army!

Facing the liaison officer of the column, he appeared in his station again, and the head of the third regiment knew more or less.The other party came to contact him after traveling such a long distance, so he must have something important to discuss with him.

The security company commander who came to make contact also said in a timely manner: "Head Zhao, hello! I am a member of the column security brigade, and this is my certificate. For safety reasons, I did not reveal my identity earlier.

This time in Shangqiu, our commander also wanted to meet with Commander Zhao.In addition, if it is convenient, I hope that head Zhao can find a few guides.Next, our commander wants to go to Shen County to visit Commander Xu Xiangqian. "

'What?You said that Commander He has arrived in Shangqiu? '

'Yes!We rested in a valley [-] kilometers away from you last night, and I came here early to be in charge of communication.For the sake of safety, what our commander means is that we hope that Commander Zhao can find a place outside the station to meet.

During this period of time, the activities of the little devil were very frequent in the vicinity.Our commander also intends to discuss with Commander Zhao about the joint defense of our two divisions.If you come here to discuss, you are also worried that there will be too many people to leak the news. '

Knowing that He Zhengdao actually appeared in Shangqiu, not far from his residence, this head Zhao was also very surprised.After all, the little devils gathered an army in Shangqiu recently, and all three of their regiments shrunk their defenses.

Even the harassment of the little devil earlier has mostly stopped.As long as the little devils don't invade their base areas, the third regiment will not easily provoke the Japanese troops stationed in the cities as before.

If the little devils knew that He Zhengdao, who they hated most and was listed as a must-kill, would be right under their noses.Head Zhao could almost imagine that the little devil would definitely blow up his nest like a stabbed hornet's nest.

After listening to the words of the guard company commander, Commander Zhao immediately said: "There is no problem with this. I will let the two guards around me accompany you to our division command post. You guys are really brave. !"

Regarding Zhao's evaluation, the guard company commander just smiled and said: "This kind of thing is commonplace for us. As long as we don't easily provoke the little devils, it is still impossible for them to find us. "

Commander Zhao, who didn't dare to delay for too long, quickly found the political commissar and the chief of staff.Let the chief of staff be in charge of the headquarters. He, the political commissar of the third regiment, and a guard lined up to meet He Zhengdao.

When they were in a small valley, the two looked at He Zhengdao who was also dressed as an ordinary Eighth Route Army soldier.In addition to lamenting that Commander He is really young, he still saluted and said hello respectfully.

He Zhengdao, who returned the two of them with a military salute, also smiled and said: "Commander Zhao, Commissar Song, did you disturb your work?"

'The Chief's words are serious!If we had known that the chief was coming, we should have sent troops to respond in advance. '

Seeing He Zhengdao being so polite, Commander Zhao quickly replied.As a result, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "I just passed by your defense area, and I don't want to disturb you too much. The most important thing is that the current situation is quite serious.

I specially brought you here today, and there are some things that I need to explain to you.If there are no accidents, the next three regiments of you will also face a real big battle, so it is necessary to make some preparations in advance.

In addition, I also want to discuss with you about the cooperation between your regiment and our reconnaissance brigade.For specific orders, after I meet your division commanders, I think your division headquarters should have combat orders to issue.

But right now, the little devils are preparing for battle in Shangqiu, so we probably won't have much time to prepare.In order to ensure that you can deal with the little devils here, I have also explained to the troops in Guoyang that I am ready to support and cooperate at any time.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the operation, I will announce these arrangements to you verbally.If you do this, it will also buy you a little more time to prepare, so that you can deal with the big raid that the little devil may carry out next. "

From He Zhengdao's point of view, the little devils are currently gathering troops secretly in Shangqiu, and they have not acted with much fanfare, presumably for the sake of keeping it secret.If they start to attack Zhengzhou, they will inevitably organize a sweep of the surrounding rebels.

As the largest resistance force in Shangqiu, the Third Regiment was naturally the target of the Japanese army's suppression.If you don't make some preparations in advance, the three regiments are also likely to pay a heavy price in this raid.

Moreover, such sweeping operations can also divert the attention of the Central Army's defense forces.At that time, the Japanese army will deploy a force to take the opportunity to raid the defensive positions of the Central Army, and it is really possible to catch the Central Army by surprise.

In short, this is only He Zhengdao's judgment.But in He Zhengdao's view, sometimes it is necessary to make some preparations in advance.After all, the strategic significance of Shangqiu is still very important.

As the forward position connecting the 117th Division and the New 67th Army, if the third regiment can hold it.And after the main force of the Japanese army left Shangqiu, they took advantage of the situation to capture it, which is of great significance to the next battle!

...

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

As the commander of the independent column of the Eighth Route Army, it is somewhat inappropriate to meet with the head of the regiment-level troops under the command of the 117th Division in private.From the command level, such an approach somewhat exceeds the authority.

It's just that for He Zhengdao, the summoning of the two chief officers of the 117th Independent Third Regiment this time was more in the name of the independent column commander to discuss with them about the joint defense operations of the two troops.

Regardless of He Zhengdao's position in the Eighth Route Army or He Zhengdao's prestige in the Eighth Route Army, he still has that qualification.Even from the perspective of the two regiment-level officials who were summoned, He Zhengdao also showed great respect to them.

Fully listen to the reports and opinions of the two, and finally determine the next joint defense strategy of the next two troops.It was not He Zhengdao's one-word speech, which directly gave orders to the two in the name of the commander of the independent column of the Eighth Route Army.

After talking about these things, He Zhengdao smiled again: "When I passed by Guoyang last time, I had a private chat with Xiang Dong. Regarding the fact that you want to send some military backbones to the reconnaissance brigade for exchange and learning, he also talked with him. I already said that.
