Compared with the phased victory of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi battlefield, in addition to the people in the northwest and north China, most of the international attention is focused on the defense of Nanjing, which is now unfolding in the south, a battle that seems to be doomed.

In He Zhengdao, he saw the newly appointed Shanxi garrison commander Itagaki Seishiro, but in the end he did not lead the Fifth Division to attack Xinzhou. It was also roughly judged that Itagaki should know that it would be difficult to reverse the situation with the current strength of Shanxi.

Defending Taiyuan, the provincial capital, is a wise choice. In this case, after He Zhengdao handed over the battle in Xinzhou to Zhang Cheng, he led the saber special combat team to return to Yulin with the last batch of supplies.

In just a few days, the highway from Yulin to Yuanping has become very lively every night. In addition to the cars transported overnight, the number of mule and horse teams on these roads every night is equally surprising.

The materials captured by the independent column on the battlefield were also transported into the base area in large quantities at night. In addition to supplies, during the day, more people were migrated. If you really don't want to go, the Eighth Route Army won't be too reluctant.

The influx of a large number of materials and people has kept the Yulin Border District Government busy. According to the previous deployment, these people who are willing to move to the Yulin border area can enjoy the care of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

They just need to take their possessions and rush to the Yulin border area. On the way, the Eighth Route Army will help arrange food and lodging, until they are finally moved in, one by one newly opened up immigrant villages.

Even the houses are simple cave houses. But for many people who are counting on 'people to move around', they are facing the cave houses assigned by the Eighth Route Army. And the fields that belong to them in the future are very content.

A large migration of the population of Xinzhou. For the rule of the Japanese army in Xinzhou, it has undoubtedly become like chicken ribs. In order to stabilize the situation on the ground, they had to station a large number of troops. The people who can be ruled are pitiful.

The reduction of the population base meant that the Japanese army lost the conditions for local supply. This also meant that in order to ensure the security of these occupied areas, the Japanese army had to constantly mobilize supplies from the rear to ensure the supply of supplies for the garrison.

As the political commissar of the independent column, Xiao Jinguang was also busy during this time. looked at He Zhengdao, who led the troops back. He also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Commander, the matter of the arsenal will be handed over to you." ”

'Good! During this time, the hard political commissar has been hard. For the people who are currently moving to our base areas, it is important to ensure that they have supplies and food for the winter. In this regard, I have instructed the frontline troops to collect more supplies.

The Japanese army uniforms that our troops transported back the previous time should be simply modified and given to the people! Although the climate of Xinzhou and Yulin is not much different, it is almost winter, and it is also very important to ensure that the people spend the winter safely. ’

'Yes! Look at these people who are moving one after another. The commissar of the border district was both happy and worried. Happily, in the future, the border region government will be able to govern more people, and the corresponding grain output will be further increased.

The concern is that these displaced people will have to be resettled. The financial and material resources that need to be consumed are really not a small amount. Fortunately, our troops captured well at the front, otherwise it would have been solved only by the government of the border region. It's hard! ’

Regarding Xiao Jinguang's sigh, He Zhengdao nodded and said, "Government." After surviving this winter, I believe that the situation will change in the future. For this group of migrants people management. We must coordinate well with the government of the border region to ensure that the people can spend the winter safely. ”

Even He Zhengdao knew that the influx of a large number of Shanxi people would have a certain impact on the base area of the Eighth Route Army. But he was more convinced that the Japanese army, which had lost a large number of people, would continue to lose its control over Shanxi.

If the time is ripe, it is believed that the Eighth Route Army will not be too far from the date of recovering Taiyuan. Once it has two base areas in Shanxi and Shaanxi, the influence of the Eighth Route Army in the north is bound to exceed that of the Nationalist government in the southwest in the future.

After a brief meeting, Xiao Jinguang said again: "Commander, the previous chairman came over with Vice Chairman Zhou, and asked you to spare a few days to report to the Central Committee before the year. In addition, regarding the construction of the steel plant, the central government and the headquarters have proposed that you be responsible. ”

He Zhengdao, who heard this, smiled somewhat bitterly: "To engage in such a thing as construction, it must be handed over to professional people to be responsible." The chairman and the commander-in-chief, I really know everything when I am an all-rounder! ”

'Those who can work harder! ’

With the success of this tiger's mouth food plan, when Mao Taizu came to Yulin to inspect before, he had already revealed it to Xiao Jinguang a little. He Zhengdao was intended to be burdened and proposed to be an alternate member of the Central Committee.

This also means that He Zhengdao, as one of the members of the Eighth Route Army Committee, will also be promoted in the government. Such a promotion, as scary as it sounds. But many people know that He Zhengdao has this qualification.

In addition to seizing a large number of machinery and equipment urgently needed by the Eighth Route Army, the property transported back to Yan'an by a few trucks alone made many members of the Central Committee feel that He Zhengdao should be rewarded.

In terms of military rank, He Zhengdao is now also a lieutenant general and division commander of the National Government, and he can be regarded as a top-ranked military commander among the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army. As for its help to the central authorities, no one can find any reason.

Even if some people question He Zhengdao is too young and gives him too much power, it is an inappropriate leader. After He Zhengdao moved some factories to Yan'an one after another, it was difficult to say anything. After all, He Zhengdao's reputation is not small now.

The most important thing is that at present, He Zhengdao has been fully trusted at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the central government. With such merits, plus such a reputation and connections, who is too good to hinder people's future!

Just when the Japanese reinforcements arrived in Taiyuan and began to recover the cities of Xinzhou with the 116th Division as the mainstay. All units of the Eighth Route Army have completed their operational plans and have returned to the base areas of their divisions one after another to continue the construction of base areas behind enemy lines.

When Yan Xishan learned that the battle launched by the Eighth Route Army with Xinzhou and others in Taiyuan was actually to fight for the machinery and equipment that the Japanese army had demolished and belonged to his Jin Sui army, the whole person looked a little uncomfortable.

Just when many generals of the Jin Sui Army said that the Eighth Route Army should be asked to return these machinery and equipment, Fu Zuoyi, who participated in the meeting, sneered: "If you were you, would you return such loot?" What's more, are people robbing us? ”

The two rhetorical questions made many Jin Suijun generals a little speechless, but there were still humane: "But when they do this, they will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob, right?" Anyway, the Governor is also the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, and they are also under the jurisdiction of the Second War Zone.

The equipment they transported belonged to our Jin Sui Army. It's not good for them to steal the things of friendly troops, and spread them out, right? And without our previous bloody battle, can they pick up such a bargain? ”

For the cunning of these Jin Suijun generals, he will soon go to Chongqing to meet Fu Zuoyi of Lao Jiang, and he also knows that it is time for him and Jin Suijun to part ways. During this period in Linfen, Fu Zuoyi also saw that it was difficult for the Jin Sui army to make a comeback.

So he continued to retort: "Not bad! The commander is the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, and has certain command and dispatch powers over the troops that have previously belonged to the Second Theater. When we fought in Xinkou, did the Eighth Route Army cooperate with us in the battle?

Now, the strength of our Jin Sui Army is less than 30% before the war, and what about the Eighth Route Army around us? How many troops do they have? Allies, do we really think they're allies? Do they really have to be friendly to us?

Stealing friendly things, this is even more nonsense. If it weren't for the Eighth Route Army's action, the Taiyuan Arsenal that we had worked so hard to build up would now have been loaded and shipped to the island of the little devils. If you want to talk about robbing, people also grabbed it from the little devils.

The most important thing is that you don't realize at all that the future in the northwest will no longer be the monopoly of our Jin Sui army. As far as I know, the Battle of Taiyuan ended. The remnants of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army have now been incorporated by the Eighth Route Army.

Even Chairman Jiang is no longer able to make any noise about this situation. We just want to move our mouths now, and we will ask for what others have so hard to get their hands on. Do you think the Eighth Route Army is so generous? ”

The general of the Jin Sui Army, who was sneered at by Fu Zuoyi, said with a red face: "Fu Yisheng, are you still not the general of the Jin Sui Army?" Why, do you always speak for the enemy? Is there a way for outsiders like you? ”

'Oh, this is going to be an enemy and an outsider again?' Isn't it a friendly army? I, Fu Yisheng, never deny that I am a member of the Jin Sui Army. But I at least know that the fire in the nest will be laughed at.

At this time, instead of thanking the Eighth Route Army for saving our Taiyuan Arsenal, I wanted to reach out and ask others to ask for it. Have you ever thought about the consequences of this? Without their help, will we be able to hold on to our current territory?

And you really don't notice it? Why is it that the situation in Shanxi has stabilized, and so few people in Shanxi are willing to move to our defense area? On the other hand, are you willing to go a long way and move into the territory controlled by the Eighth Route Army to earn a living?

If you have time, go down for a walk and listen to what the old folks of Sanjin say about us! Don't think that the common people are ignorant, in fact, they see it very clearly. Now it's a troubled time, and you can only save your life by following the strong! ’

Fu Zuoyi, who said this, suddenly felt an urge to be sad in his heart. Thinking of the people of Sanjin who dragged their families and displaced their families, Fu Zuoyi often felt that he had failed the expectations of these fathers and villagers.

Even if he knew that Yan Xishan didn't like to hear this, he also knew that he had no place for him in the Jin Suijun. With tears in his eyes, he got up and saluted Yan Xishan, but left the conference room without saying anything.

Yan Xishan, who saw this scene, seemed to realize that this fierce general of the Jin Sui Army had nothing to do with the Jin Sui Army from now on. For such a result, Yan Xishan suddenly felt that he might really be doing something wrong.

It's a pity that after the meeting ended, Yan Xishan quickly learned that Fu Zuoyi had been ordered to go to Chongqing to meet Lao Jiang. As for the future of this commander of the 35th Army, I am afraid that it will be known after a while! (To be continued.) )
