After Zhang Cheng received the telegram from the commander-in-chief, he recommended a candidate to the commander-in-chief without much thought, that is, Luo Rongheng, the famous marshal of political work in later generations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The commander felt that the candidate recommended by Zhang Cheng was very suitable, Luo Rongheng was originally appreciated by the commander, and Zhang Cheng's recommendation could be described as selfless. The commander once thought that Zhang Cheng would recommend his old brothers, but he recommended Luo Rongheng, who had not dealt with Zhang Cheng much. This move shows that Zhang Cheng is selfless in his heart and has a wide range of worlds, and he deserves to be an excellent member of the workers' and peasants' party.

After discussing with Mr. Zhu, Ye Shuai, and other leaders of the Eighth Route Army, the commander-in-chief unanimously agreed to the instructor's proposal to advance into Qilu and establish an anti-Japanese base area behind the enemy line in Qilu.

The telegram was "Instructions of the Party Central Committee on the Eighth Route Army's Instructors Advancing to Qilu to Establish the Qilu Base Area", which reads: "The instructor's advance into Qilu is another great initiative of our Workers' and Peasants' Party's efforts to establish a base area in northern Shaanxi since it went north to northern Shaanxi. The role of the strong fortress laid the most solid foundation for the national strategic counteroffensive and the march into the northeast. ”

After receiving the instructions, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar and others were completely busy with the advance into Qilu.

The main force of the teachable tutor must advance to Qilu, but the Jin-Shaanxi-Sui base area is also the foundation of the tutor, and it cannot be discarded. After the main force of the instructor left, the Jin-Shaanxi-Sui base area had to stay with enough troops to defend against the attack of the Japanese puppet army.

After the commanders of the various departments learned that the main force of the division would soon march into Qilu, there were endless debates about who would stay in the base area and who would go to Qilu, and everyone was vying to advance into Qilu with the division commander, not wanting to stay in the base area.

However, Zhang Cheng had already made arrangements for this, in order to calm down the controversy as soon as possible, Zhang Cheng quickly cut through the chaos and quickly announced the list of left-behind troops, because most of the base area was in the plains and grasslands, in order to prevent the Japanese invasion, the cavalry brigade was first on the list of left-behind troops; The heavy artillery brigade was also left behind by Zhang Cheng due to the inconvenience of marching.

At the same time, the aviation flight regiment under the temporary jurisdiction of the instructor was also divided into three, and the first flight group will be stationed in Yan'an, under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and will be responsible for defending the sky of Yan'an; The 2nd Flying Group was stationed in Lanzhou to defend the rear of the Great Northwest Base Area; The 3rd Flying Group is still stationed in Baotou and is responsible for defending the Jin-Shaanxi-Sui base area.

In order to prevent the Japanese air attack on the base area, the air defense regiment was also separated, one was stationed in Yan'an, one was stationed in Yulin, and one was stationed in Baotou.

The armored brigade did not escape the fate of splitting, because the Qilu Mountain is far away, the tank troops are too much moving, and they consume fuel, so Zhang Cheng left the tank units and armored units of the armored brigade in the base area, and promoted Lu Zhongliang to brigade commander, responsible for commanding the armored brigade.

The instructor's main force was followed by the heavy truck unit of the armored brigade, and the instructor's main force went out and needed vehicles to transport materials, and the trucks of the armored brigade were requisitioned and transferred to the baggage unit to serve as a transport team.

As for Li Yunlong, the former commander of the armored brigade, he resigned from his post as brigade commander and was transferred to the division headquarters to formally perform the duties of deputy division commander, responsible for commanding the troops directly under the division and presiding over the daily work of the instructors.

Finally, in order to further strengthen the defense force of the Shanxi-Shaanxi-Sui base area, the Fourth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade were also retained by Zhang Cheng to serve as the mobile field troops of the Shanxi-Shaanxi-Sui base area together with the Third Brigade, and Zhou Weiguo, Huang Dingji, and Li Yunqiang were appointed deputy commanders of the base area, and were fully responsible for the defense of the entire Shanxi-Shaanxi-Sui base area.

After some weighing, the main combat forces that followed Zhangcheng to advance to Qilu were the 1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade, 5th Brigade, 7th Brigade, and 8th Brigade, plus the divisional troops, with a total strength of more than 70,000 people.

Of course, it is impossible for such a huge army to rush to Qilu in one go, and it is necessary to march in batches. According to Zhangcheng's vision of the five major anti-Japanese base areas in Qilu, Zhangcheng divided his troops into five parts, set out from Yulin in batches, and marched to the land of Qilu.

At the meeting of instructors and cadres, Zhang Cheng announced the order to march into the army: "First, after the instructors advanced to Qilu in batches, they taught the 1st Brigade to carry out wars behind enemy lines in Tai'an, Laiwu and Yimeng Mountains, and create an anti-Japanese base area in Luzhong, with the jurisdiction of Fengxian in the south, Boshan and Linqu in the north, Yishui in the east, Laiwu and Surabaya in the west, and the commander of the military division was Chen Zhengxiang.

Second, the Second Brigade was instructed to advance to Surabaya, Tengxian and other areas, to lead and integrate the anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Lunan, and to create an anti-Japanese base area in southern Lunan, with jurisdiction over Zaozhuang, Linyi, and Jiangbei in Jiangsu Province, with Ding Wei as the commander of the military division.

Third, the Fifth Brigade was instructed to march into the southeastern region of Shandong and create an anti-Japanese base area in southeastern Shandong, with the scope of its jurisdiction covering the Jiaoji Railway in the north, the Longhai Railway in the south, the Yellow Sea in the east, and the Yihe River in the west, and the commander of the military division was Zhang Wenlong.

Fourth, teach the Seventh Brigade to march into Jiaodong and Penglai, incorporate the local anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines, and create an anti-Japanese base area in Jiaodong, with jurisdiction over coastal areas such as Jiaodong, Penglai, and Yantai, and the commander of the military division is Yang Zi.

Fifth, the Eighth Brigade was instructed to march into the junction of southeastern Hebei and northwestern Shandong, and create an anti-Japanese base area in the Bohai Sea, with the Bohai Railway in the east and the Jinpu Railway in the west, Tianjin in the north, and the Jiaoji Railway in the south, and the commander of the military division was Deng Hua.

Finally, I would like to make one more request: when all units march to Qilu, they should all move at night, and go out at night, so as to ensure that the army does not leave a trace after it passes, and does not give the Japanese a chance to catch the tail. Did you all hear me clearly? ”

"Clear!" The comrades who were about to leave Qilu shouted excitedly.

After the meeting was dismissed, Zhang Cheng sent the resolution of the meeting to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander-in-chief immediately sent a telegram back, exhorting Zhang Cheng: "Agree with your unit's advance plan, and after selecting the direction of the march, you must act quickly and covertly, and you must not let the Japanese army discover the traces of your unit's movements in advance, so as not to cause complications." In addition, the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and after entering Qilu, there is no need to ask for instructions on everything, and when the fighter arrives, he must have the courage to attack and strive for victory. ”

The commander's telegram moved Zhang Cheng and increased the pressure at the same time, although he was invincible since he crossed over, and achieved countless brilliant achievements, but he has always fought under the wings of the commander, and now he is about to be alone on the side, does he still have the ability to lead the troops to be invincible?

However, thinking that he is also a traveler who is familiar with history, coupled with the advanced tactics learned in later generations, he dare not say that he will destroy the Japanese army in North China, and it is more than enough to lead the instructor to dominate the land of Qilu, and after being instigated by his butterfly wings, the Eighth Route Army is more than ten times stronger than the same period in history, even if he is unfortunate and glorious at this time, he will not have any great regrets.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng is open-minded, I came here with a red strip and eliminated so many Japanese devils, it is already enough, and I am afraid of a ball!
