The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, located in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain in Shanxi, has been paying attention to the development of the anti-Japanese war forces in the three provinces of Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong. As far as the current anti-war force of the Eighth Route Army is concerned www.biquge.info the armed forces of the two provinces of Hebei and Jin are undoubtedly the strongest.

In contrast, most of the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong were diverted from the main force to establish anti-Japanese base areas. In addition, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong was relatively complicated, and the construction and development of the armed forces behind enemy lines were a little slow.

Zhao Tiehu was sent to Shandong earlier, also out of protection for Zhao Tiehu. After all, if the matter of killing high-ranking officials of friendly armies is not properly handled, it will also affect the overall situation of the joint war of resistance between the two armies behind enemy lines.

At least as far as the current Eighth Route Army is concerned, it is far from the time to turn against the Zhong Yan Army. The military-political conference that just concluded a few years ago also gave instructions for the development of the troops, and only cooperated with the Zhongyan army and did not merge with it.

Even from the military and political meetings that the Nationalist Government had concluded, the Eighth Route Army had already felt that the Nationalist Government still had not dispelled its concerns about them. Most of the anti-Japanese war guidelines put forward were relatively unfavorable to the Eighth Route Army.

As early as when he was in Yushe, Zhao Tiehu, who was named here at the head of the headquarters, undoubtedly gave the head of the headquarters a surprise this time. Looking at the telegram sent by Zhang Jingshan, commander of the first column in Shandong, Mr. Zhu also seemed extremely happy.

smiled and said: "This tiger cub is really good!" It seems that when he was sent to Shandong, it was really a party. Relying on the hundreds of people taken away at the beginning, it is rare to pull up a team of the main force in Zaozhuang now! ”

The chief of staff of Zuo, who was standing next to Mr. Zhu, also said with a smile: "Mr. Boss, if you really want to talk about it, Comrade Zhao Tiehu is also the first batch of old revolutionaries to join the revolutionary ranks. If he hadn't stabbed the basket often, he would have become the main head of the regiment long ago.

This time, their task force has won such a big victory, I think we can consider promoting the formation of the task force. From the information we have received so far, this guy does have a set of materials for pulling a team!

Last winter, if it weren't for the fact that the task force had gotten a large amount of winter supplies in Zaozhuang, I am afraid that many soldiers of the first column would have had a hard time surviving that winter. It can be said that this guy is good at it, and he is indeed a great general! ”

Vice President Peng, who was also in the command room, said with a smile: "Lao Zuo, listen to Xiao Chen of the 386th Brigade, this kid can't stand the praise, and if he praises, something will happen." If he hadn't done that in Yushe earlier, it is estimated that he would have been promoted to regiment leader.

However, at present, the 115th Division is advancing into southwest Lu, and it should now arrive in Jining soon. Next, about the situation of the advance column and the first column, how does the boss think it is better to arrange? ”

In order to strengthen the anti-Japanese war work in Shandong, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army formulated operational arrangements a few years ago. A part of the elite was transferred from the 115th Division to enter southwest Lu to carry out operations behind enemy lines, and strive to be connected with the anti-Japanese troops in Hebei and Jin.

Most of the members of the first column stationed in the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong Province were from the 129th Division. The next two columns, who will lead whom, is indeed worth thinking about at the headquarters.

It is also necessary to consider the attribution of the task force. Geographically, the task force was closest to the advancing column. However, the task force is under the command of the first column, and if it is boldly distributed, I am afraid that the first column will also have opinions.

After all, with the strength shown by the task force at the moment, let alone the advance column and the first column. Even the three main divisions are afraid that they can have such a strong force under their command.

Dare to single-handedly challenge an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, such a combat strength, I am afraid that among the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, there are not a few main forces with such courage and ability, right? How to characterize the task force has become a somewhat tricky problem.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhu thought about it for a while and said: "In the current situation, it is still not appropriate to mix the two columns together. As for the future management of the two columns, it will depend on the next development of the troops.

As long as they can create a new situation in Shandong, they will also consider integrating Shandong's anti-war forces in the future. As for now, it is too early to talk about it. After all, the advance column has just passed.

And you have forgotten that Director Luo, who advanced into the column, was also the old leader of the tiger cub back then. Even if the task force belonged to the command of the first column, the tiger cub would definitely not slack off the old chief. That kid is a nostalgic person! ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu knew more or less about the three main divisions, most of which were composed of various corps during the Red Army period. So on the surface, everyone treats each other friendly, but there is some competition and huddles in private.

When it comes to the question of the ownership of a main regiment, although the headquarters can issue orders, the troops below will also carry out the orders. But such a forcible order will also make people dissatisfied with the order of the headquarters.

At the moment, all the troops are having a hard time, and who doesn't want to have an elite army under their command. What's more, Zhao Tiehu is not only good at fighting, but also an expert in materials. Who doesn't want to stay in their own army with this kind of talent?

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Jingshan's report and application, it is estimated that the 129th Division would not have wanted to release them. At least Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade was still very reluctant and heartbroken to let go of a tiger general like Zhao Tiehu.

'What does the boss think about the application of the first column? ’

Taking advantage of this success, Zhang Jingshan also submitted an application to the General Headquarters to expand the establishment of the task force. Earlier, the task force, although not counted as a battalion-level combat unit, was also smaller than a regiment-level combat unit.

Although Zhao Tiehu, the detachment leader, still enjoys the treatment of a regiment-level cadre in the first column. But here at the headquarters, Zhao Tiehu is still a battalion-level cadre. If you want to be promoted, you naturally need the consent of the headquarters.

After some consideration and consideration, Mr. Zhu said: "I agree with the application of the first column, but I do not recommend the formation of a new regiment-level combat unit." Internally and externally, it still operates in the name of the Shandong Task Force of the Eighth Route Army.

Regarding the question of Comrade Zhao Tiehu's qualifications, he can be promoted. Anyway, as things stand, the size of the task force already exceeds that of some of our main regiments. Therefore, the relevant expansion work can be handled by the first column at its discretion.

We are too far away from them, and we are not familiar with some of the situation in the troops. Let Zhang Jingshan tell the tiger cub to work hard there. If he can pull out a column of troops, why not give him the number of a task force! ”

As far as the current Eighth Route Army is concerned, development is the primary issue. In the face of the threat of the Japanese army and the vigilance of the Zhongyan Army, the Eighth Route Army really needs to continue to accumulate strength. Only in this way can we be invincible.

A commander like Zhao Tiehu, who can fight, pull troops, and engage in supplies, not only does Mr. Zhu appreciate it very much, but I believe that those leaders in Yan'an are also very happy to see the emergence of such capable people.

What's more, Mr. Zhu knows some about Zhao Tiehu's situation. If you really want to divide the combat units of the Eighth Route Army into lineages and collateral lines, Zhao Tiehu, who came from the First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, is undoubtedly the lineage of the lineage.

In fact, for Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in Zaozhuang at the moment, he had not considered the issue of troop establishment at all. As far as the current strength of the task force is concerned, one main regiment is far overstaffed.

Most of the three combat detachments have formed no less than five main companies at present. Next, when the training of recruits is over, it is believed that the number of main combat companies of each detachment will increase by two or three.

A detachment has eight or nine combat companies, which is exactly the size of a main regiment. As the detachment leader, Zhao Tiehu can actually command the number of troops, it is estimated that it will not be much less than a main division.

Add in the local combat units under its jurisdiction, and the size of the troops is even greater. Such a situation was common for many units of the Eighth Route Army fighting behind enemy lines. A regiment commander can often command the troops of a division.

It's just that these troops are rarely pulled out at once. Not showing the mountains and not revealing the water, hiding clumsiness is also what many commanders of the Eighth Route Army are good at. If the troops were pulled according to the regulations at every turn, it is estimated that the Zhongyan army and the Japanese army would not be able to sit still for a long time.

After inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese infantry brigade that had rushed from Jining to support, Zhao Tiehu quickly asked Zhu Zixi to bring back the main force of the third detachment. On the territory of Teng County, only the combat units of the first detachment remained.

As for the next battle plan, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was better to defend first and then counterattack. Same as the previous anti-encirclement and suppression method, as long as you see that the little devil has a defense hole, then concentrate the strength at hand to give the little devil a deadly attack.

And after this period of time, the entire Zaozhuang has become noisy, and it is appropriate to loosen the mouth of the little devil, and it will not force the little devil to jump off the wall in a hurry. After all, the real most people in Zaozhuang are still unarmed people!

In addition, another intention to take a break for a while is also to make the little devils unclear how deep their strength is. Although some strength was exposed this time, Zhao Tiehu didn't feel worried.

Properly letting the little devil know his strength will also make the little devil more cautious. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, without the addition of new troops and commanders, it is estimated that this sweep plan will still not be able to be promoted.

In addition, at present, the Zaozhuang Railway and river transportation have all stopped, and it is estimated that the little devils will also feel very stressed. If the fighting continues, how long will the bombed-up railways and clogged canals be restored?

No matter how the little devil moves next, shrink his fist appropriately in order to better swing the fatal blow. At least for the time being, the situation is relatively favorable for the task force.

The railroad was interrupted, the canal was blocked, and the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang would also feel the increasing pressure. Compared with the little devil who cares about railways and waterways, Zhao Tiehu doesn't seem to care very much.

As long as the little devils are in a hurry to sweep and restore the supply line, there will always be some omissions. In this way, Zhao Tiehu can use the little devil's negligence to give the little devil another heavy blow, and finally let the little devil recognize the current reality!

Compared with the time and effort required to repair the railway and dredge the waterway, it did not take much effort for Zhao Tiehu to blow up the railway and place mines. If this goes on for a long time, it will only be the little devils who will suffer in the end!
