Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Having had the experience of being excluded during the Long March, Mao Zedong knew the importance of the barrel of a gun very well.As his direct confidant, the independent column commanded by He Zhengdao is undoubtedly his most favorable supporter in the army and the party.

When He Zhengdao was appointed as the commander of the new 67th Army, some people still had the idea of ​​this army.The reason is that someone used He Zhengdao's qualifications to argue with Party Ling, but the results were still rejected by the police and Boss Zhu.

Seeing ***'s expression was a little upset, He Zhengdao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Chairman, it's not what you think, this is my own decision. Regarding the situation in Central China, in fact, I can't play a big role.

It can even be clearly said that if I continue to stay in Central China, both Lao Jiang and the Japanese army will pay more attention and vigilance.The more our troops develop, the more checks and balances they will face.

The most important thing is that I think I may play more and greater roles in other places.Another point that I am more worried about is that in the near future, the international situation will undergo major changes, which will affect our overall situation of the War of Resistance. "

'what's the situation?You talk about it first! '

Seeing that He Zhengdao didn't seem to be telling a lie, Mao Zedong was also very curious why He Zhengdao, who was doing well in the post of army commander, suddenly thought of resigning from the post of army commander.But *** is very clear that He Zhengdao is very concerned about the situation at home and abroad.

Sometimes some judgments made are always taken into account by others.The result of this is to enable the central government to occupy more advantages.Be prepared to deal with the turmoil brought about by various changes in the current situation.

But after He Zhengdao said what he said in the 129th Division, *** also frowned and said: "You mean, you want to be in charge of the war in the Northeast? Do you think something will happen to Big Brother?"

As the person in charge of the party and the army, Mao Zedong is very aware of the importance of the Soviet Union to them.It can be said that the national government does not dare to tear themselves apart with them at the moment, because it also feels that the role played by the Soviet Union in the War of Resistance is quite large.

Now that the sea route is blocked, most of the materials for foreign aid are still purchased and transported from the Soviet Union.If the situation in the Soviet Union changes, and the situation of the war of resistance is finally stable, it is really possible to find a reversal!

<> In many people's perception, the "Russian-Japanese War" started in Northeast China during Tsarist Russia ended with Japan's victory and the "Portsmouth Peace Treaty" was signed.This war caused the once powerful Tsarist Russian Empire to lose many of its interests in the Far East.

Through this treaty and other subsequent events, including the September 20th Incident in the 1931th year of the Republic of China ([-]), Japan launched an invasion of Northeast China and eventually gained control of the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria, and southern Sakhalin Island.

Although Tsarist Russia collapsed with the gunshots of the "October Revolution" in the later period, the Soviet Union also showed great dissatisfaction with Japan's greed in the interests of the Far East, and has always been in a confrontational attitude with Japan.

At least in the eyes of many Chinese people, the Soviet Union still has enmity with Japan.But in He Zhengdao's view, this kind of enmity is more due to the conflicts caused by the two countries robbing the Northeast, and the Northeast does not actually belong to their two countries.

After all, what should really be angry is Huaxia, which owns the Northeast.It is a pity that neither Beiyang nor the Republic of China seems to be able to preserve the rich resources and minerals in the Northeast, and they can only watch it being invaded by others.

The previous "Zhang Gufeng incident" once again proved that the Japanese army also had their hands in the area currently stationed by the Soviet Far East Army.Fortunately, the Soviet Far East Army still has the power to deal a severe blow.

It's just that more energy than Japan is now being restrained in the frontal battlefield of China.The Japanese army did not seem to dare to easily provoke an all-out war with the Soviet Union.In the end, this time the incident was still controlled within a certain range and it was announced that it would stop.

Regarding some objections raised by Mao Zedong on this matter, He Zhengdao said calmly: "Chairman, I think the chairman should have some understanding of the current leader of the Soviet Union and his personality.

In the Zhang Gufeng incident, Japan, which started the war lightly, was the first to provoke Japan, and it was the Soviet Far East Army that won in the end.If the Soviet Union really had the strength to deal with the Kwantung Army, why did they choose to strike peace with the Japanese army?

At least in my opinion, this conflict is more of a temptation by the Japanese army.In the end, the Japanese army came to the conclusion that they are not yet suitable to provoke a behemoth like the Soviet Union, and peace negotiation is the best choice.

As for the Soviet Union, if they really have the strength to suppress the Kwantung Army, then they should pursue the victory and demand more compensation and benefits from the little devils.But in the end, the Soviet Union chose to strike and truce.

If the Soviet Union was really that powerful and inviolable, why did they swallow their anger?The reason is very simple. Today's Soviet Union is already strong outside, and it dare not provoke Japan like a mad dog.

The most beneficial thing for them is to keep this mad dog out of their circle of interests.It is in their best interest to let this madness concentrate on dealing with other people.Between countries, interests are fundamental! "

Regarding the current situation in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong, who was in Yan'an, naturally knew something about it.As for the disposition of the current Soviet leader Stalin, he is also a ruthless character who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

Just because his staunch follower Kirov was assassinated, Stalin used this as an excuse to launch a bloody and brutal purge.It can be said that many heroes of the Soviet Union have been purged in the past few years.

Such a leader is undoubtedly a strong figure.In the previous incident, the Soviet Far East Army was also considered to be the best.Aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and infantry took turns, and finally the Japanese army suffered from this dumb loss.

It stands to reason that at this time the Soviet Union should take advantage of the victory and pursue more territorial claims.It's a pity that this incident subsided as soon as it came.There was a tacit understanding between the two countries, and an armistice agreement was quickly reached.

Just when Mao Zedong thought deeply about the situation He Zhengdao said, He Zhengdao continued: "Chairman, I want to resign from the New 67th Army. Another reason is that I am worried that the Anti-Japanese Alliance may not last long.

Even some time ago, we had already contacted them through the Soviet Union.But the chairman should be clear that today's Anti-Japanese Federation is very bad in terms of its strength, supplies, and even their living conditions.

And our rise in North China made the Japanese army also feel worried and pressured.Under such circumstances, the Kwantung Army may pay more attention to the suppression of the anti-union troops in the Northeast.If they don't send troops to enter the pass, they may find it difficult to persevere. "

According to He Zhengdao's understanding, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance fought against the Kwantung Army that occupied the Northeast for more than ten years between the white mountains and the black waters.But in the end, many people were forced to enter the Soviet Union for training.

It can be said that this is a heroic army, and many anti-Japanese heroes were born.And next year will be a very difficult and difficult year for the Anti-Union League.If the Eighth Route Army does not give support, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to survive.

Now that the Eighth Route Army has the strength to do more things, why can't He Zhengdao organize troops to advance to the northeast in advance to fight against the enemy's rear?Even if the Kwantung Army cannot be defeated in a short period of time, it can still restrain the Kwantung Army from supporting the Anti-Japanese War.

After listening to He Zhengdao's words, Mao Zedong also fell into silence for a while, and said for a while: "Others think that our life is hard, but compared to the Anti-Japanese League fighting behind the enemy lines in the northeast, their life is really hard!"

As an anti-Japanese team under the party organization, the composition of the early Anti-Japanese Alliance was indeed very complicated.But now, with the establishment of liaison with the central government, the Anti-Japanese Federation has also expressed the hope that the central government will send troops to support their operations behind enemy lines.

Originally, some leaders in the central government hoped that the Anti-Japanese Federation could get some help from the Soviet Union.However, the Soviet Far East Army seemed to still take into account the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the support it gave was extremely limited.

From He Zhengdao's answer, *** also knew that He Zhengdao resigned as commander of the New 67th Army after careful consideration.But is it an easy task to be responsible for the Anti-Japanese War work in the Northeast?

Thinking of this, *** said very seriously: "Zhengdao, I think you should know better than me, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to shoulder this burden. The Kwantung Army in the Northeast is a hard bone!

Most importantly, the New 67th Army currently in central China may not be able to be transferred back to cooperate with you in combat.Therefore, you need to regroup a force to advance northeast.Can you overcome such difficulties? "

In fact, He Zhengdao also knew very well that he returned to Central China to take charge of the work of the New 67th Army.For him, it is undoubtedly a good job to take credit.After all, he had already opened up the situation of the war of resistance there.

If you put on anyone, you can sit back and enjoy the benefits.Not to mention, today's new 67th Army has also been expanded, and the number of troops pulled from Shaanxi earlier has nearly doubled.

If local guerrillas and militias are included, the number of troops of the Eighth Route Army in Central China may exceed [-].As the leader of an army, He Zhengdao's contribution is self-evident.

He Zhengdao, who just heard these words, smiled and said: "Chairman, I am still young, and it is good to suffer more. As for not withdrawing the new 67th Army, there are those old troops in Suiyuan. In fact, we I think it is still enough.

I can pull up an independent column from scratch, and I can naturally pull up a second column.It is nothing more than spending more time to organize training and run-in the troops.But for our party and our army, there is another army that dares to fight and wins.

At least as far as our current strength is concerned, if we want to drive the little devil out of the country and want to establish a new country, our strength is far from enough.But if the Northeast can be regained, I think all the conditions are ripe.

Most importantly, I have the strength to contain the Kwantung Army in the Northeast.Our other combat units can freely operate in North China and the Central Plains.Regardless of the Japanese army or others, we must all have the power to fight. "

Such confident words really moved ***.But he also knows that if He Zhengdao is really capable of regaining the Northeast, then this is also a great contribution, both in the party and in the country.

Wanting to understand this, *** finally said: "Okay, since you have such confidence, then I will naturally not stop you. If you can really open up the situation of the Northeast War of Resistance, it will also have immeasurable benefits for our party and our army.

But regarding your resignation as commander of the new 67th Army, I still need to discuss it with the boss.As an individual, who do you want to succeed you as commander?I'm afraid it's not suitable for other team members to be transferred. "

When Mao Zedong still asked He Zhengdao for his opinion, He Zhengdao also said quickly: "If the central government and the headquarters agree, I hope that the post of army commander will be held by political commissar Xiao. In terms of leading troops to fight, the political commissar is also very capable. powerful.

Most importantly, Chief of Staff Luo and Director Luo have not been in the army for a long time.And the political commissar has been with me for the longest time, and the commanders of each division obey him as well as the officers and soldiers.With him in charge, the combat effectiveness of the troops will not be affected. "

This suggestion is naturally in line with ***'s wishes.The backbone of the New 67th Army was expanded from the two most elite main divisions of the Independent Column.Such an elite force, he would naturally hand it over to someone he trusted and trusted.

'Okay, I will convey your opinion to other leaders when the time comes.It's just about your idea, I still need to exchange opinions with the boss and Enlai.Why don't you call them over and let's sit down and discuss it. '

With such considerations, He Zhengdao naturally had no objection.To be honest, even out of his own considerations, He Zhengdao didn't want to hand over the troops to a person who didn't trust him.

Even if he resigned as commander of the New 67th Army, the commanders of those troops are all his old subordinates.No one can change this kind of nepotism.After all, the independent column does have its certain peculiarities.

Even if the number of the independent column is still retained today, the commander is still concurrently held by Boss Zhu.From this arrangement, it can also be seen that the central government still has the headquarters, and it really attaches great importance to the independent column, and I don't want anyone to make trouble on it!
