The goal of the 115th Division's eastward advance advance brigade was the Jilu border east of Jinpu Road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why the Jilu border area was chosen as the advance brigade's advance target was that the 129th Division had already made the decision in January to create a base area in southern Hebei and a base area in the northern Henan Plain. The follow-up troops of the 129th Division, the cavalry regiment led by Song Renqiang, also rushed to Nangong on March 19 and joined the East Column. Subsequently, the main force of the 129th Division will advance into the South Hebei Plain in a big way to create a consolidated base area in South Hebei.

As for the Jizhong Plain, with the Hebei People's Self-Defense Army organized by Lu Zhengcao and Meng Qingshan under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the next step will be to integrate forces and develop and grow.

In the Luxi area, there was a Fan Zhuxian department that insisted on the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Although Fan Zhuxian's troops are all local militias, from a political point of view, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is not suitable for a large-scale march into Luxi for the time being!

Based on this situation, the strategic deployment proposed by Yan'an is that the main force of the 115th Division advances into Shandong, passing through Shandong and the Huanghuai region. Therefore, the first step of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade was to gain a foothold in the Jilu border area, which was temporarily in a state of anarchy, and then to plan the main force of the division to march to Shandong in a big way.

This is a forward-looking strategic layout!

After eliminating Liu Mo's head, seizing so much money, and recruiting 500 new soldiers, Xiao Siming did not stop longer after returning from Pulp Water Town, and directly led the troops to continue eastward.

The Japanese garrison in the southern Hebei Plain was very small, and it was concentrated in the county towns along the main highways, and most of the other counties were garrisoned by maintenance associations and puppet garrisons. These guys show off their might during the day, but at night they are cowering in the county town and strongholds, and they dare not come out. The other miscellaneous armed forces around had already known the news that Liu Mo's head had been completely wiped out, let alone provoked the advance brigade with cavalry and artillery, and the marching speed of the eastward advance brigade was faster, and the daily marching speed reached 100 miles.

In late March, it is the second end of the second lunar month, and the North China Plain in the midst of war is still full of grass and warblers, and miscellaneous flowers surround the trees.

Che Linlin, Ma Xiaoxiao.

On the great plain full of spring, the cavalry of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army marched eastward in front of the cavalry, and the baggage was in the middle, starting from Tiankou Village and advancing in the direction of Nangong, aiming directly at the Jilu border area east of Jinpu Road, south of Tianjin, and west of the Yellow River!

During the march, the warriors, who had never seen the Great Plains before, were not able to keep their eyes on the plains, and kept observing and admiring the beautiful scenery of the plains.

A soldier who joined the army in Jingshang Village, south of Shouyang, was puzzled when he looked at it, and ran to ask Zhao Changshou, a Japanese language instructor and arsenal commissioner who was also transferred to work in the independent battalion in Jingshang: "Instructor Zhao, there is no big mountain on this plain, what if it collapses one day?" ”

Zhao Changshou laughed when he heard it, and when he saw that the warrior had a simple face, he couldn't bear to make fun of him, so he told him very seriously that the earth is a planet in the solar system.

The female soldiers of the field ambulance team were very honest this time and did not dare to take pictures again. It's just that they are all young girls, crying darkly when they look at the two martyrs who died by the Fuyang River, and now that the pain has passed, their eyes are also dripping, admiring the scenery of the plains along the way while marching, and chattering non-stop as soon as they camp.

Because of the lesson of Liu Motou's abduction of Yan Rou, Yan Rou and Xing'er were handed over to the recruit team by Xiao Siming, and Deng Wenli was strictly disciplined by them. It's just that Yan Rou is indeed from a young lady, and it is difficult to march on foot, so Xiao Siming specially handed over his Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse to Deng Wenli, and asked him to send a warrior to lead the horse and let Yan Rou and Xing'er march on horseback.

For this matter, Deng Wenli's boss was unwilling, and persuaded Xiao Siming to send Yan Rou and Xing'er away quickly, she was not suitable for the Eighth Route Army, and she had to eat the Eighth Route Army, and with the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army had to send someone to protect them. It's because of the two of her, sacrificing two cadres, it's a disaster!

Xiao Siming didn't send Yanrou and Xing'er away, but he didn't get to Jinpu Road, these two girls couldn't go! Only when they get to Jinpu Road can they let Yanrou and Xing'er take the train to Tianjin, which is relatively safe.

Seeing that Xiao Siming couldn't move, Deng Wenli actually went to report to Political Commissar Wang Lushui and asked Mei Ying what task she had gone to perform, and why she hadn't come back?

Wang Lushui asked why he inquired about Mei Ying's situation?

Deng Wenli snorted for a long time, saying that Miss Yan was too beautiful and cultured, and her speech and demeanor were all in the style of a lady, and her charm was too great. Let her act with the troops, riding the captain's night jade lion horse every day, it is too ostentatious, and the impact is not good! The captain is too young, what if Miss Yan hooks the captain's soul away, then what if Mei Ying comes back?

Wang Lushui didn't say anything about Mei Ying going to Yan'an to study, but he felt that what Deng Wenli said made sense, Yan Rou was indeed too beautiful, and like Mei Ying, the young men would dream at a glance. Moreover, Xiao Siming saved Yan Rou's life twice, and Yan Rou is now a broken family and lonely. If Yan Rou is really determined to be good with Xiao Siming, even if Xiao Siming loves Mei Ying in her heart, Mei Ying has gone to study after all and is not by Xiao Siming's side. There are thousands of mountains and rivers, how can distant water quench the thirst of the near? Young men and women, dry firewood, in case, in case Xiao Siming really empathizes, then he really can't explain to Mei Ying, and he can't explain to the organization.

Men chase women, partitioning walls; Women chase men, compartment paper!

Wang Lushui was on his mind when he landed!

However, although Wang Lushui had just entered the age of 25, he was a backbone cadre of the old Red Army who had been tempered for thousands of years and had rich experience in struggle. He will definitely not chase the wind and shadow to talk to Xiao Siming and theorize, so he can only quietly think of a way.

Xiao Siming is so good, as his old chief, old political commissar and county magistrate's partner, Wang Lushui will never watch Xiao Siming make a mistake, not at all! He is looking forward to Xiao Siming's continuous growth and becoming a famous anti-Japanese general!

After thinking about it, Wang Lushui finally came up with a way, that is, to let Deng Wenli pick a mule from the mules and horses that captured the bandits and routs, and let Yan Rou and Xing'er ride on the march, and change Xiao Siming's war horse. It is said that the mule walks steadily, suitable for lesbians to ride!

Yan Rou is the eldest lady of the Yan family, and her mind is smart. It's just a change of horse, and she understands what it means!

The mall is like a battlefield, Yan Rou, who has experience in business, understands what is going on, but she can't say it, but when she camps, she leads the little girl Xing'er to practice shooting, or goes to the cooking class of the recruit camp to help, and it seems that she doesn't know why she replaced the jade lion horse with a mule.

Xiao Siming doesn't know anything about these twists and turns!

When the troops arrived at Nangong, they met with the two Liangdao Song Renqiang and Chen Zaidao of the 129th Division's eastward column.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away!

Chen Zaidao led four companies to Taihang, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the 129th Division were given the number "Eastward Column". It is the number of the formation at the army level, and it can be organized into brigades and regiments below.

Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui had more than 2,200 horses when they set off from Shiguai Town, and their equipment was no longer at the same level as the four companies led by Chen Zaidao, but the number given by the 115th Division, the headquarters, and Yan'an was only a 115th Division's eastward advance brigade, with a regimental structure!

There is no way, Chen Zaidao was already the ******commander of the Red Fourth Front Army during the Red Army, and he became the deputy brigade commander when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized. Although the troops he led when he went down to Taihang were a bit small, he had the ability to lead and command a column. As long as the cadres are erected, the itinerant armed forces are vigorously reorganized, and the masses are mobilized to expand the troops, the eastward advance column will soon be greatly strengthened.

Song Renqiang, who led the cavalry regiment of the 129th Division to Nangong to reinforce the eastward column, was also very powerful. Before the Long March, he was already the political commissar of the division of the Central Red Army, and during the Long March, he was the political commissar of the cadre regiment, and after arriving in northern Shaanxi, he was transferred to the Red 28th Army of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi as the political commissar, and he was also a military-level cadre during the Red Army.

With Song Renqiang and Chen Zaidao, the two later founding generals, and the four backbone companies of the Red Army that went through the Long March, plus the two companies composed of redundant cadres of Zhang Xianyue's teaching regiment and the cavalry regiment brought by Song Renqiang, it will be expanded into a column of 10,000 or 20,000 people in the future, and there is no problem at all!

Wang Lushui, Xiao Siming, and Huang Hua are much lower. Wang Lushui and Huang Hua are a little better, before the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army, they were both regimental-level cadres of the Red Army. Xiao Siming only served as a company commander twice. When the Eighth Route Army was reorganized, Wang Lushui and Huang Hua became battalion-level cadres, and soon resumed their status as regiment-level cadres, but Xiao Siming changed from a company commander to a platoon commander. If it weren't for the fact that the Tibetan Mountain Temple had set up an independent battalion after receiving the enemy, and his exploits were too great, with his qualifications, when the independent battalion was upgraded to an advance brigade, it would be good to be able to give a deputy captain, and it would have been an exceptional appointment.

Xiao Siming served as the captain of the advance brigade who was already famous in the Eighth Route Army system at such a young age, and in the eyes of other Eighth Route Army cadres, it was an outlier!

Cadres need time to be honed. It is not that the advance brigade does not have enough troops and weapons and equipment, but that the qualifications of the principal cadre Xiao Siming are too shallow and too young to pull out the seedlings and help them grow, and this is the fundamental reason why the independent battalion can only be expanded into a brigade.

Like the 2nd Battalion of the 385th Regiment, the foundation of the original Red 5th Regiment, it was also four companies plus a company transferred from the 1st Battalion, which was directly expanded into five detachments. There is no way, the battalion-level cadres of the second battalion are all regimental-level cadres of the Red Army, and the company commanders and instructors are all battalion-level cadres of the Red Army.

Speaking of which, it was Xiao Siming who was too young and too young, which affected the specifications of the army structure!

Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming reported to Song Renqiang and Chen Zaidao about the battle that swept through the Xingxi region and eliminated Liu Mo's head.

During the war years, there were not so many politenesses. After Xiao Siming reported to Wang Lushui, Chen Zaidao and Song Renqiang introduced the situation in southern Hebei to them, and then introduced the situation in Hebei and Lubian.

Song Renqiao had just arrived in southern Hebei, and he was not very familiar with the situation.

Chen Zaidao arrived a little earlier, and he had some understanding of the situation in Jilubian, so he gave everything he had and told everything he knew. (To be continued.) )
