Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'Who is your commander? '

'It's Commander Xu Shiyi, the former deputy commander of the Ninth Red Army! '

Upon hearing this, He Zhengdao also said with a little interest: "Then how far are we from them now? If possible, I would like to go and have a look at you. To General Xu, I am I have heard the name for a long time!"

Regarding the deeds of this legendary general, He Zhengdao has naturally seen a lot in later generations.Speaking of which, this general is also a legendary figure among the founding generals of China.

Even after the founding of the country, the veteran commanded the battle in person, and the Annan army was miserable.If the international situation did not allow the Huaxia troops to continue to attack, it is estimated that this veteran might have captured the opponent's capital back then.

Most importantly, according to the information He Zhengdao knew, this general was one of the few generals in the Eighth Route Army who was proficient in kung fu.Before joining the revolution, this General Xu also went to Shaolin Temple to learn art from a teacher.

Although He Zhengdao knew that kung fu is not dominant in hot weapon battles nowadays.However, people who have learned martial arts have much better physical condition and reaction speed than those who have not learned kung fu.

Even in the Republic of China, the folks highly respected Shaolin Kungfu.Even if Shaolin practiced the idea of ​​dual cultivation of Chan and martial arts in later generations.Its influence at home and abroad is beyond the reach of many monasteries.

It has to be said that Kung Fu is still closely connected with Huaxia.At least He Zhengdao felt that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would go to Mount Song to visit some eminent monks and martial arts masters in Shaolin.

Seeing that He Zhengdao seemed to be on a whim again, he wanted to go to the 117th Division to have a look, and Staff Officer Xu naturally couldn't refuse.Although the little devils here are very tight, but for the 117th Division, there is still a chance of winning against the little devils in this area.

If he didn't know that the little devil was nervous here, once he regained it, the little devil would definitely explode and counterattack.It is estimated that the 117th Division has already organized troops to take down the traffic throat between Southwest Shandong and Northeast Henan.

In fact, the 117th Division left this place, and another intention was to attack the little devil's transportation and supply line.If the little devil wants to garrison troops here, he must provide supplies for the troops, and even keep the supply line unobstructed.

With such a supply line under their noses, the 117th Division can also organize some ambushes occasionally, and expand its troops by capturing the supplies of the little devils.If the little devils here are driven away, this long-term 'business' will be ruined.

In his previous life, He Zhengdao knew about the legend of this 'General Monk', mostly through some military materials and books, movies and TV dramas.Now that he has the opportunity to deal back in person, He Zhengdao still feels very happy.

Even in the eyes of many people, He Zhengdao's status is already higher than that of many revolutionary predecessors.But in He Zhengdao's view, each of these founding fathers, who are famous in later generations, deserves He Zhengdao's respect.

This kind of respect will not change because of his promotion.As a traveler and a latecomer, He Zhengdao has always respected these well-known founding generals very much, and rarely puts on the airs of the so-called chiefs.

Perhaps it was this unusualness that made many first-level generals of the regiment and brigade of the Eighth Route Army, including the main division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, like to deal with He Zhengdao.Occasionally, when I have time in private, I also like to ask He Zhengdao for help to solve some problems.

Originally, in the designation given by the Central Army, the first column currently commanded by Xu Renyi was only an infantry brigade.However, as the 117th Division went to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area to fight behind enemy lines, the troops also expanded considerably.

Today, the first column of the 117th Division actually has more troops than a main division.In order to better command the troops, after reporting to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the external infantry brigade became the first column of the 117th Division.

If you deal with the liaison officers of the Central Army, Xu Shiyou is an infantry brigade commander.However, within the Eighth Route Army, Xu Shiyi was the commander of the first column of the 117th Division, and his immediate superior was the 117th Division where Xu Xiangqian was the division commander.

All in all, the Eighth Route Army still implemented its own troop organization internally when it was reorganized and joined the National Revolutionary Army.Even though He Zhengdao became a national general and the commander of the new 67th Army.

But his current position is the same as that of the rest of the main division commanders who went to fight behind the enemy lines.Inside the Eighth Route Army, many people still like to refer to the New 67th Army as an independent column.

Xu Shifan, who usually doesn't like to stay at the column headquarters, has also been at the headquarters to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese army at any time because of the frequent transfers of the little devils.Most importantly, the Eighth Route Army headquarters also conveyed an order to prepare the army for war.

Although Xu Shiyu didn't know very well, the purpose of preparing the army for the war was to prepare for the great war.But he also knew that if the headquarters could issue such an order, the battle would not be small.It is also very necessary to do more preparations.

The regiments and battalions that had been allowed to develop freely in the past also began to stop fighting outside the country following Xu Shiyi's orders, and reported the number and supplies of the troops to the column, so that Xu Shini could know how much his column's family property was.

After doing some statistics, the political commissar of the column also smiled and said, "Commander, I really don't know if I don't know the statistics. I was shocked when I made the statistics. Usually they are asked to report the equipment and the number of troops, and they hide each one for fear that the headquarters will reach out.

Now that there is a big battle to be found, these guys are afraid that they will not have their share, and all these family backgrounds have been exposed.The main force we counted alone already has more than 1 people.This does not include guerrilla brigades and county brigades! "

'Having more troops is naturally a good thing.But this kind of expansion is rapid, I am afraid that the number of recruits in each army will not be small.If you really want to fight some tough battles, you still have to be more cautious.If you are blindly optimistic, big things will happen! '

Although he was happy with the rapid expansion of the troops, Xu Shiyu, as the commander, was still worried about whether such rapid expansion would affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.The more recruits, sometimes the more it affects the combat effectiveness of the troops!

While the first column was taking stock of the property, a correspondent walked out of the command and said, "Commander, Staff Officer Xu from the Third Independent Regiment is here. He said he has something important to report, and he is outside the door now!"

'The third independent group?Aren't they active in Shangqiu?What are you doing here at this time?Let him in! '

Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Xu Shiyi still directly asked Staff Officer Xu to be led into the headquarters.Looking at the stranger standing next to Staff Officer Xu, Xu Shiyi also said directly: "Who is this comrade?"

'Hi sir, I am from the Independent Column Guard Brigade! '

Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyu became more and more curious: "Independent column, aren't you fighting with the Central Army in Xinyang? At this time, what are you doing here?"

Facing Xu Shi's question, the guard didn't speak, but just looked at the other people in the command room.Such an expression naturally made Xu Shiyou quickly understand that it seems that too many people should not know what the guard is going to say! (To be continued.)

...

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

Although it is not clear why the people in the independent column ran to their column headquarters at this moment.But Xu Shiyou knew more or less that the guards from the independent column must have something important to do when they came over.

Otherwise, two troops so far away would not have come to his headquarters for no reason!

After waving some of the staff officers of the headquarters to leave, only he and the chief of staff of the column were left in the entire headquarters.Although Xu Shi's guards were somewhat reluctant.But seeing Xu Shiyu's stare, he could only withdraw honestly.

When there were only four people left in the headquarters, He Zhengdao's guard captain continued: "Chief, please forgive me! For the sake of confidentiality, I can only report the situation to the captain. The less the rest of the people know, the better.

I am Sun Lin, the captain of the Second Division of the Independent Column Security Brigade, and I am the liaison chief under the order of our commander He Zhengdao.Because our commander is here to visit Commander Xu, and knowing that the commander is here, we want to come and meet him.

I believe Chang also knows that the current situation here is relatively sensitive.In order to ensure the safety of our commander, we can only keep the news about him as secret as possible.If there was any disrespect before, please forgive me! "

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Shiyu was also very surprised and said: "Captain Sun, right? Did you just say that your commander is in Yangji?"

'Yes, long!Staff Officer Xu and I came to make a call at the front, and we also wanted to say hello to the commander in advance.If there are no accidents, our security forces should have arrived at the defense area that the chief is in charge of at this time. '

Although I don't know exactly what He Zhengdao is doing when he suddenly ran to his own territory at this time.But Xu Shiyi also knew that among the ten main division commanders of the Red Army, the youngest was He Zhengdao.

What surprised Xu Shiyou the most was undoubtedly He Zhengdao's series of impressive victories after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.Even when he was in the Red Fourth Front Army, he also knew that they had received a lot of help from this young teacher on the Long March.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiyu frowned and said: "Nonsense! Staff Xu, since Commander He is here, why do you need to contact him in advance? Can't you just bring him over? Tell me, where is your commander now?"

Even if it is clear that He Zhengdao is a junior, but the identity and position of the other party are there.If He Zhengdao knew that He Zhengdao had reached his defense zone, but still waited for the other party to come to his door, it would be somewhat rude.

No matter what, with He Zhengdao's current status, he can treat each other as equals even in the face of several other main teachers.As the commander of the first column of the 117th Division, Xu Shiyu also had to show He Zhengdao some respect.

Officer Xu, who was being scolded, didn't dare to refute anything, and Xu Shiyu didn't dare to scold Captain Sun beside him, but he dared to scold him.The reason is very simple. Staff Officer Xu is the combat staff officer of the 117th Division, while Captain Sun is in the independent column, so he is naturally not easy to train.

But Captain Sun answered the question in a timely manner: "Sir, what our commander means is that we don't want to disturb too many people. If you don't mind, please find a relatively safe place to meet."

Hearing this, Xu Shiyu thought for a while and said, "Where is your commander, where will he come from?"

'Should come over from Xiaowangzhuang! '

'Then go to Chenjia'ao, which is our Baobai Village, and there is no problem with the level of security.Chief of Staff, bring our guard battalion along to strengthen the security around the area.If there are suspicious persons, arrest them first and then interrogate them! '

'Yes, Commander! '

Just when Captain Sun was about to say something, Xu Shiyu directly raised his hand and said: "Okay, there is no need to say anything more. I have the final say when it comes to my territory. I know what you are worried about, and there will be no problems here .

Once we are vertical, we are the troops defending the security of the division headquarters.If Commander He comes to our place, there will be any problems, then I will not be the Commander.It's not that easy for a little devil to get in! "

With Xu Shitong's final decision, Staff Officer Xu and Captain Sun couldn't say much.After coming out, Yizong's guard battalion quickly assembled, and under the order of Yizong's chief of staff, they quickly went to Chenjia'ao to deploy their defenses.

As for Captain Sun, he quickly sent Xu Shiquan's decision to He Zhengdao in the form of a telegram.As the commander of the new 67th Army, even if He Zhengdao goes out at this moment, he will also be accompanied by a telegram team.
