The achievements of the Zaozhuang Task Force, not to mention the two columns close at hand, were very curious and concerned, even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also found it unbelievable. After all, when the task force first advanced into Zaozhuang, there were only a few hundred people in total.

However, in just over half a year, the results of the task force have shocked all units of the Eighth Route Army. Even the Nationalist Government, which was far away in the mountain city, was very concerned about the situation of the task force.

After all, the strategic significance of Zaozhuang is very important, and in the eyes of many generals of the Zhongyan Army, this place is very important. Once the Eighth Route Army is actually controlled, it will also pose a great threat to the future strategy of the Zhong Xuan Army.

Even if many generals have such worries, it is impossible for them to make such worries public under the current situation of joint operations between the two armies. What they can do may be to take this opportunity to strengthen their presence in the Zaozhuang area.

It's just that no one knows that the Weishan Security Regiment, which originally took advantage of the situation to grow a lot, failed to suppress more and more like the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention the loss of towns and towns that were finally recovered, it also inflicted heavy losses on the troops that had been expanded with great difficulty.

Faced with the heavy hopes of the security group, Zhong Yanjun naturally felt a little unhappy in his heart. is also an anti-Japanese war force, why did there be two completely different results when facing the little devils in Zaozhuang?

Zhao Tiehu naturally didn't know about these situations. As far as the current task force is concerned, the establishment of the three major base areas has laid a solid foundation for the task force to create a large rear in Zaozhuang, and has given the task force a solid rear.

It can be said that the low-key strategy when he first arrived was still a great success. But for many officers and soldiers of the task force, they all knew that the detachment was in this situation, thanks to Zhao Tiehu's overall planning.

If someone else leads the troops over, it may make a situation, but it will definitely not be like Zhao Tiehu. A special combat team alone is not trained by everyone. At this point, Zhao Tiehu is irreplaceable.

After the welcome banquet, Luo Rong and Zhao Tiehu, who had not seen each other for several years, rarely sat down to drink tea and chatted together. Even if Chen Ming wanted to participate, he knew that this was a private chat between the old chief and his old subordinates, and it was somewhat inconvenient for him to participate.

Luo Rong, who had drunk a little wine, looked at Zhao Tiehu, who was much more mature and stable than before, and said with a sigh: "You kid, it's really a three-day waiting, impressive!" The situation that your kid fought in Zaozhuang made the headquarters and the committee members happy! ”

'Does the commissioner know about me?' ’

'Tiger cub, what do you say?' The committee members care more about you old subordinates than anyone else. You didn't kick you out of the army in that situation back then, who do you think is the reason? The committee members are really concerned about you! ’

The committee member that the two of them are talking about is naturally the No. 1 in Yan'an now. As a fellow and a veteran who went to Jinggangshan with him in the early years, No. 1 is also quite concerned about the brave Zhao Tiehu.

It's just a matter involving the troops, and No. 1 can't interfere too much. After all, in terms of promotion and reuse, No. 1 is more left to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters for deliberation. This time, Luo Rong came to Shandong, and naturally went to Yan'an to receive the task.

Before leaving, No. 1 also told Luo Rong that when he saw Zhao Tiehu, he also mentioned that he, the No. 1 in the early years, such as the No. 1 of the whole party and the whole army, still did not forget Zhao Tiehu, the real old subordinates.

Luo Rong, who knows very well what this means, thinks that if Zhao Tiehu can continue like this in the future, it is not impossible to believe that the latecomer will prevail. At that time, Zhao Tiehu's name as a tiger general may be particularly worthy of the name.

If someone else heard Luo Rong's words, they might feel very happy. But in Zhao's view, this kind of attention is not necessarily a good thing. The more people who follow him, the more challenges he has to take on.

On the battlefield, Zhao Tiehu will not be afraid of anyone. But Zhao Tiehu knows very well that he has no political talent, to put it simply, he won't play those vain things. But the problem was that he had to be vigilant about these things.

But no matter what, Zhao Tiehu felt that with the attention of the old chief in Yan'an, as long as he could live to the founding of the country smoothly in the future, there would be no problem with a founding general. But is this really what he wants?

Listening to Luo Rong's words, he knew that the leader in front of him would be the real founding father in the future, and he would also be the most respected founding father of the committee. It is a pity that the old chief did not enjoy much of a good life before he died of illness.

Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing!

With a slightly emotional expression, he said, "Yes! There are really not a few old brothers left in Jinggang who made a revolution back then. However, compared to other people, there is a thought at home. I'm really alone now.

After being born and dying so many times, sometimes I feel that my life is quite big, and I can't die with a cannonball, and I can't die from jumping and hanging. God didn't let me die neatly, so I had to live well for those dead brothers.

I will also realize our ideals for them. It's just that the old chief, I can't see the way of the world more and more clearly. Back then, we fought to the death with the white dogs, and now we are joining forces with them to fight the war, which is a little incomprehensible.

Even if I understand that this is forced by the situation, only by uniting all the forces of resistance can we win this war of resistance. But for me, maybe the tiger was stunned back then, and he was already dead on the Long March.

Now I just want to kill the little devil well, and I really don't think too much about other things. Thinking about it, the committee members are quite pitiful, and he has also paid a lot in order to do the revolution. Alas! I really don't know when this chaotic world will stop! ”

Zhao Tiehu, who said these words with feeling, thought about the host he received, was actually really pitiful. In the eyes of others, he is a master who does not want to die in war. But in fact, Zhao Tiehu wants to reunite with his dead family every time.

Just because he participated in the revolution, the whole family died at the hands of the white dog. Even in the end, he also killed the murderers of his family. But the dead family members can't be resurrected no matter what.

Who is to blame? At the end of the day, maybe he really blames himself! was young and vigorous, desperate to make a revolution, but in the end, he implicated the innocent life of a family. Such a situation is really not uncommon in this era!

Hearing Zhao Tiehu say this, Luo Rong was also surprised and said, "Why do you think like this?" ”

'Old chief, I don't need to hide any of my thoughts in front of you. To tell you the truth, when our troops were reorganized, fortunately, my brain was blown up at that time. Otherwise, if I accept the reorganization of the white dog, I guess I won't agree to it.

Later, I jumped off the cliff and didn't come back to life, I felt that I owed a debt, owed to my family, and owed to those comrades-in-arms who lived and died together. After my brain cleared up, I thought about killing more little devils, maybe I would feel more comfortable in my heart.

It wasn't until I rescued the battalion commander of the Northwest Army last time that I learned that there were some iron-blooded men in the white dog. So when we killed and killed, was it right or wrong? I'm a rough person, and my brain hurts when I think about it too much.

Especially when I saw the colonel of the Zhong Yan Army who was killed by me, his arrogant face made me can't help but hate them in my heart. I didn't think about it that much at the time, and I just shot that guy with one shot.

But I know that in this situation, I have done something that has made a serious mistake. Fortunately, Brigade Commander Chen and Chief of Staff Li protected me and gave me the opportunity to bring troops to fight here. But I know that I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

The next time I see this kind of thing, I still can't help but jump on those who don't on their heads. Fortunately, there are not many anti-Japanese troops in the Zhongyan Army on Zaozhuang's side, otherwise they will be the target of my encirclement and suppression sooner or later. ’

Luo Rong, who knew a little about Zhao Tiehu's situation, also felt that Zhao Tiehu's psychology might have problems. But this kind of problem, why not Zhao Tiehu alone in the Eighth Route Army?

The deep blood feud they had with the Zhong Yan Army back then, how could they forget it? Even if they choose to forget the relatives of the reactionaries who died at the hands of the Red Army, how could they let go of the Eighth Route Army?

Luo Rong, who was born as a political work cadre, thought for a while and said: "Your kid's thinking is very dangerous!" If you don't mind, I think you should go back to Yan'an to study for a while! Anyway, when your level is reached, you should go back to further your studies.

Regarding our cooperation with Zhong Yanjun, go back to Yan'an and ask the committee members, and I think you will find the answer. We, the people, paid a great price for the revolution. But isn't that the cause of our revolution? ”

'Old chief, I understand what you say! But you should know that my personality is not used to being a student in the academy every day. With this kung fu, I might as well think of more ways to kill some little devils! ’

"Is you stupid or what's wrong, it's also a good thing for you to go back to Yan'an to study for further study." If you want to be promoted in the future, this process must go through. Moreover, don't you want to go back to Yan'an to see the commissioners? ’

'I don't worry about who I give this mess in my hands. Don't look at the task force is developing well now, but it is also full of dangers, and there is a slight mistake. Now that this is a good situation, it is possible to completely destroy it.

To tell the old chief, every time I draw up a battle plan, I have to think carefully about it several times. Suffice it to say, I'm walking on thin ice now. Putting aside the affairs of the detachment to study, how can I study with peace of mind? ’

Zhao Tiehu, who said these words, actually didn't understand why he wanted to say these things to Luo Rong. But he knows that Luo Rong's character is recognized as trustworthy. And he said this, perhaps to pave the way for future plans.

Once the Anti-Japanese War is over, the civil war will break out again, is Zhao Tiehu really willing to fight? If he is unwilling, then in the eyes of many people, maybe he really has a problem. After all, he has a blood feud with the Zhong Yan Army.

But he really wants to lead the army to fight the civil war, and he is really willing to cut the blood of his compatriots from the afterlife. Most importantly, many of these compatriots were heroes on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. Is this kind of war the battlefield he wants?
