Chapter 672: The Reluctance of the Old Partner!
(PS: Today's third update!) Ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket! Please, please! )
Considering that the war in Henan had already started, Mr. Zhu, who was supposed to return to Xi'an to command the front-line war, finally chose to set up his headquarters in Yan'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As the commander-in-chief, he also cannot be absent from the upcoming military and political conference.
Moreover, according to the expectations of the headquarters, whether it is the attack of the Japanese army or the evacuation of Jiang Dingwen, it is believed that it will take a certain amount of time. At least for a short time, the battle for Henan will not be over.
Because He Zhengdao and Xiao Jinguang both rushed to Yan'an for a meeting, as the military and political leaders of the new 67th Army, the two naturally could only set up their headquarters in Yan'an. Communicate with the front-line troops through the radio and direct the units to participate in the battle.
Zhou Enlai, who also returned to Yan'an, was in charge of intelligence gathering for the entire war. Any information about the movements of the Japanese army and the Nationalist Army troops stationed in Henan will be summarized here by Zhou Enlai and submitted to the general headquarters for operational reference.
Such a big action does make people feel a dignified atmosphere of decision-making thousands of miles away. So Mr. Zhu, who is also the commander-in-chief, looked at the non-stop radio stations in several large computer rooms, and also felt that this atmosphere was the first time.
Following the ****, who was also staying in the headquarters and was one of the decision-makers, he said with a smile: "Chairman, compared to the previous time when we were in Jinggangshan. It's really never been like such a big move! There are a lot of them! ”
In order to be able to send orders to the combat troops as soon as possible, even He Zhengdao set up the radio station and the headquarters in the next house. Any orders can also be forwarded to the front-line troops with combat missions in a timely manner.
'Yes! Who would have thought that when we were evacuated from the southern Gan Soviet region, we would have grown to this level in just a few years? You, the commander-in-chief, are now a bit of a boss. ’
smiled and replied to Mr. Zhu's ***** for the current development of the Eighth Route Army. In any case, the larger the size of the Eighth Route Army's troops, the more stable their regime will be!
On the other hand, Xiao Jinguang, who was led to his cave by He Zhengdao at this moment, looked at the people standing in front of the cave waiting for him, and said with some surprise: "Xiao Zhong, why are you here?" ”
The person who was called 'Xiao Zhong' by Xiao Jinguang was naturally the lady who was supposed to stay in Yulin. It's just that Xiao Jinguang was a little surprised that he was able to see his wife in Yan'an at this time.
Mrs. Xiao also looked very happy when she saw her husband who had been separated for a long time, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Commander He specially sent someone to pick me up from Yulin. These days, my children and I are staying at the commander's house! ”
'Commander, what a hassle! ’
It is very clear that this cave is the wedding room prepared by the central government for He Zhengdao and Chen Siya. Now that he has taken over his family, it is enough to show that He Zhengdao really treats their family as his own family.
On the other hand, He Zhengdao pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "What? I usually say I'm too polite, but I think you're too outward. My sister-in-law and the children haven't seen you for so long, what's wrong with coming over for a few days?
And I'm getting married soon, and I've been doing a lot lately, so with my sister-in-law's help, Xiaoya can be a little easier. The most important thing is that if you come back this time, I'm afraid that you won't be able to spare time to go back to Yulin, so I'll take my sister-in-law over in advance. ”
When she was talking, Chen Siya was naturally on the side to help. As the political commissar of the independent column, since Xiao Jinguang partnered with He Zhengdao, both of them felt very good, and each other's families were naturally very friendly.
When Chen Siya went to Yulin a few days ago, Xiao Jinguang's wife also entertained the visiting Chen Siya. Now inviting Xiao Jinguang's wife over to participate in the upcoming wedding banquet can be regarded as a normal interpersonal contact.
Speaking of which, although the Chen family still has some relatives in Beiping. But now is the era of war, and the Chen family is also in a state of no relatives in Yan'an. As for He Zhengdao, he is a bachelor, and he also has no relatives.
took Xiao Jinguang to visit his new house in the cave, and He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Old Xiao, anyway, there is going to be a military and political conference soon, and the military recruitment office must be overcrowded." During this time, you should live in my house!
If there is anything on the front line, we should discuss it in time. In addition, in a few days, when the military and political leaders of other units arrive, Siya and I will almost have a drink, which can be regarded as officially married. Then you and your sister-in-law will also help out! ”
Xiao Jinguang, who heard this, felt a little embarrassed. After all, this is He Zhengdao and Chen Siya's new house, what is the matter with their family living in?
couldn't withstand He Zhengdao and Chen Siya's invitation, and Mrs. Xiao also felt that it was good to live here, so in the end, they could only agree to live in He Zhengdao's cave during their time in Yan'an.
Seeing that it was not early, He Zhengdao asked Chen Siya to talk about dinner. He took Xiao Jinguang and came to his study. Regarding his next appointment, he also needs to inform Xiao Jinguang in advance.
After making a pot of tea for Xiao Jinguang, He Zhengdao sighed slightly: "Old Xiao, we have been partners since the Long March period, and we have been here for a few years. Speaking of which, the work of the column over the years has really bothered you. ”
Such words made Xiao Jinguang say with some surprise: "Okay, how can you say such a thing?" Is it possible? ”
Before the next words were spoken, He Zhengdao had already nodded and said, "Not bad!" When I returned to Yan'an this time, I had already resigned from the post of commander of the new 67th Army with the chairman and the commander-in-chief, and I planned to hand over the troops to you to be responsible. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jinguang got up and said, "How can this be?" That mess in the army, how can you do it without it? ”
As the political commissar of the independent column, Xiao Jinguang knew better than anyone how high He Zhengdao's prestige was in the troops below. Not to mention the officers of those troops, most of them are old men of the independent column, and the recruits alone also worship He Zhengdao.
Although the Eighth Route Army had a political commissar responsibility system, in fact, in the current war years, the prestige of the military commander in the army has always been higher than that of the political commander. Speaking of which, Xiao Jinguang is also in charge of the political work of the army.
Looking at Xiao Jinguang, who was a little emotional, He Zhengdao hurriedly got up and pressed him to the chair and continued: "Old Xiao, don't be excited, I naturally have my own considerations when I make such a decision. To be honest, I don't fit to stay in Central China any longer.
If I continue to stay there, Lao Chiang and the Japanese army will keep an eye on us, which will be very detrimental to the future development of the troops. On the contrary, if I resign from the post of army commander, Lao Chiang will mistakenly think that I have been punished for the defeat in the previous war.
Only in this way will Lao Chiang's side believe that we lost a large number of elite troops in the battle with the Japanese army in the previous time. This is tantamount to putting a fake smoke bomb on the side of the national government and the little devils, which still has an effect.
In addition, I personally think that the situation in Central China should not change much in a year or two. As long as the Battle of Henan is successfully fought this time, I believe that neither the Japanese army nor the national * army will dare to easily provoke a war in a short period of time.
I'm an idle person, and I don't want to talk to people on the side of the national army. And I think it's good for me to put something down properly. Some people in the province always say, I am pampered and arrogant, and I support the army and respect myself! ”
'! Who dares to say such a thing, Lao Tzu wants to ask him face to face, what is self-respect for the army? Isn't our independent column the ranks of the party? They just can't see the good of others! ’
Before the Long March, Xiao Jinguang, who was also dismissed from his post and expelled from the party, was indeed very dissatisfied with those who liked to play kung fu on their lips. Only he knows how much effort He Zhengdao has put into this army.
Just because of this army, it has always been under the dual jurisdiction of the central government and the headquarters, plus **** is also particularly fond of independent columns. Some people in the party feel that they are independent columns and rarely accept some political cadres sent by the central authorities.
But only Xiao Jinguang knows that those political work cadres dispatched by the central government have no political work experience at all. In addition to shouting some slogans, he did not know how to do work for the officers and men of the troops.
All along, the independent column has implemented the promotion policy of 'those who can go up, and those who can't go down'. In the eyes of some people, this kind of policy seems to be also suspected of revenge for personal gain, and only those officers and cadres who are loyal to He Zhengdao are promoted.
Compared with Xiao Jinguang's indignation, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Okay, Old Xiao!" There are some people, and we can't control their mouths. As long as we do the right thing, we are not afraid of their irresponsible remarks, at least the chairman and the boss still trust us.
I resigned from the post of army commander, and more often than not, I had a new task. When you were on the road a few days ago, I had already summoned Lao Wang and others, and I also had a more important task to complete in the next step, that is, to lead troops into the northeast to fight.
You should know that if we do not solve the problem in Northeast China, we want to make a breakthrough in North China and Central China, but I am afraid it will still be more difficult. Therefore, I took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the errand of forming the Northeast Coalition Army, hoping to compete with the Kwantung Army.
In addition, after the end of the military and political conference, perhaps I will lead the troops of the Suichaji Military Region, as well as the troops fighting in Shanxi, to liberate the entire territory of Shanxi. Of course, this information is highly classified.
In general, it was not that I was resigned from the post of commander because of some repression, but that I felt that I wanted to go through a few more challenges. As for the person who will succeed me, I have already suggested to the chairman and the boss that you should take up the post of military commander.
For you to take over my position, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that the military commander and political commissar have to shoulder it, and it is estimated that the central authorities will need to deliberate on it. In short, in the future, I am afraid that the work of the new 67th Army will be handed over to you. ”
After listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, Xiao Jinguang also felt a little depressed in his heart. But he knew that He Zhengdao immediately chose to enter Yulin, and the purpose was to march to the northeast.
As a matter of fact, many of the troops remaining in Yulin are officers and men from the northeast. It can be said that He Zhengdao's intention to enter the Northeast is only afraid that he has been preparing for this very early! (To be continued.) )
