(PS: Today is the fourth watch again!) There is only one day left in this month, so if you have a ticket, hurry up and vote! Thank you so much! ）

Iron battalions, flowing soldiers!

This kind of saying that circulates in the army also applies to the officers of the army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info just every time they are separated, it will make people feel reluctant. But although Xiao Jinguang was reluctant to part with He Zhengdao, he knew that he could not go against He Zhengdao's wishes.

The most important thing is that since the Central Committee and the General Headquarters have approved He Zhengdao's resignation, no matter how much he tries to keep him, he is afraid that it will not be of much effect. Besides, He Zhengdao recommended to the central authorities that he should take over the post of army commander, so why not give him a chance?

It's just that after the news spreads, the three main divisions below are afraid that they will also have opinions. As for taking away the reconnaissance brigade, Xiao Jinguang knew more or less that the reconnaissance brigade was actually the teaching brigade of the independent column.

Every time there is an opportunity to expand the unit, the reconnaissance brigade will delegate a group of officers with rich combat experience. Having these officers in control of the newly formed units will also allow these new units to improve their combat effectiveness and keep up with the old units in a short period of time.

That night, looking at Xiao Jinguang, who was in a little low mood, He Zhengdao also looked a little embarrassed. After all, if he had a choice, he also hoped to continue to partner with Xiao Jinguang and lead the war in the northeast.

But the current situation is that the situation in Central China cannot be handed over to anyone else. If that happens, it is estimated that the troops below will also be in a mood. After all, the army commander and political commissar were transferred together, and the troops below would definitely have ideas.

Fortunately, after waking up the next day, Xiao Jinguang also cleaned up his reluctance very well. It's a foregone conclusion, not to mention that the separation of the two is not a life or death parting. At least the battle friendship that ended in Yulin is believed to not change in the future.

The most important thing is that Xiao Jinguang understands that leading the war in the Northeast seems to be a huge challenge. But once He Zhengdao can open up the situation in the northeast, He Zhengdao's prestige in the army and the party will also be greatly enhanced in the future.

Although the current war in Henan has attracted the attention of the anti-Japanese forces of all parties. But many people know that at this time, the Eighth Route Army was preparing to hold a large-scale military and political conference, and they had no time to take care of the war situation in Henan.

In response to such a situation, when he learned that many military and political leaders of the Eighth Route Army had gathered in Yan'an, Lao Jiang was also a little dissatisfied and said: "Now that the situation in Henan is so dangerous, what kind of military and political conference are they still in the mood to have!" ”

Under such complaints, Jiang Dingwen, who was also anxious about waiting for news in Henan, finally received a telegram from the Nationalist Government. At the same time as sending troops to block the Japanese army, its main forces began to retreat in the direction of Luoyang.

Even on the bright side, many people living in Zhengzhou see the national * army troops stationed in Zhengzhou, and it seems that they are driving back and forth every day. But only the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, who paid attention to their movements, knew that they were planning to abandon Zhengzhou.

Under such circumstances, some officers of the Nationalist Army, who are also well-informed, have also begun to make their own small calculations. Many non-descendant troops under the command of Jiang Dingwen were sent to the front line to be responsible for blocking them.

The real elite troops of the national * army, in the name of supporting the front line in Zhumadian, drove from Zhengzhou to Pingdingshan and Xuchang. As for Jiang Dingwen himself, after receiving a telegram from the Nationalist Government, he set off for Luoyang on the same day.

On the Kaifeng front, which seems to have been forgotten, many units of the National * Army persevered until the last moment, and in the end they failed to stop the advance of the 14th Division. The entire Kaifeng defense line was soon announced to be broken, and the door to Zhengzhou had been opened.

At the same time, the 1st Division and the Reconnaissance Brigade of the New 67th Army, as the countermeasures, also advanced into the territory of Zhoukou and Luohe to deploy defenses. Seeing the arrival of these Eighth Route Army troops, the city defense army, which was already distracted, didn't pay much attention to it at all.

Even some soldiers defending the city said with a little surprise: "I haven't received a notice from above, there will be troops from the Eighth Route Army coming!" ”

But there was still a smart soldier who said: "People take the initiative to block in front of us and resist the attack of the little devils, is it possible that we still drive them away?" I heard that the above has no intention of guarding Henan at all, and plans to give Henan to the little devils!

Think about it, once the little devils occupy Henan, who else will be unlucky in the end besides us? really let the little devil gain a firm foothold in Henan, and in the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi in the future, I am afraid that life will be difficult. ”

Although this news was quickly reported to Jiang Dingwen by the defenders of Zhoukou and Luohe. Jiang Dingwen, who was transferred to Luoyang, also sneered: "I don't usually see them so actively helping us fight against Japan, but this time they are so active, it seems that they are in a hurry!" ”

In fact, when Jiang Dingwen led his troops to evacuate from Zhengzhou, Mr. Zhu sent a telegram to Lao Jiang in the name of the Eighth Route Army, asking about the war in Henan. He also said that troops could be sent to assist in the war.

It was just a telegram sent to Lao Jiang, but after receiving it, Lao Jiang said very calmly: "Put the telegram aside for the time being, just say that we are currently discussing the matter of the Henan operation, and we will call them back when there is news." ”

In doing so, it is nothing more than delaying some time. As long as the Japanese army arrives in Zhengzhou, then I believe that the next little devil will launch a large-scale attack on Shaanxi from Henan.

If such a situation is formed, it will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the Central Army at present. For a long time, Lao Jiang felt that the Eighth Route Army was taking the opportunity to become bigger, and now it was their turn to sit on the wall and watch once.

With the armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army, which was originally operating in Anhui, it also began to enter Henan to deploy defenses. Lao Jiang, who learned of this situation, also felt that these Eighth Route Army, which had always been low-key, were finally no longer low-key.

It seems that this time the Japanese army attacked Henan, which really made the Eighth Route Army feel the pressure. Once Henan falls, it will also pose a huge threat to Shaanxi, their rear base camp. In this case, they will definitely give it their all.

Thinking of this, Lao Jiang confirmed that Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture had safely retreated to the vicinity of Luoyang, and at the same time established a solid fortification on the line between Nanyang and Pingding. Finally, he called back to Balu and agreed that they would send troops to participate in the Battle of Henan.

The instructions given to the Eighth Route Army were naturally for the Eighth Route Army to deal with the 14th Division of the Japanese Army in Zhengzhou. When he received this telegram, Mr. Zhu also smiled and said, "Now it's our turn to play!" ”

The 116th Division and the 127th Division, which had been waiting for a long time, entered the territory of Jiaozuo and began to deploy and fight by means of Linfen and Jincheng. The entry of the two main divisions undoubtedly surprised the national * army on the Jiaozuo side.

Although they knew that the two main divisions of the Eighth Route Army had been fighting the Japanese near Luliang. Why did these two main divisions suddenly appear here, and it seemed that they were still the main forces of the Eighth Route Army!

Even if some of the troops guarding the local area saw the Eighth Route Army entering Jiaozuo in a big way, they still sent troops to intercept it. As a result, the Eighth Route Army also said directly: "Please let go of the road, we will go to Zhengzhou to fight." ”

After showing the telegram given by the Nationalist Government, watching these equally elite Eighth Route Army troops gather more and more, the Nationalist Army, which was itself a left-behind force, also did not dare to do anything to obstruct it.

The most surprising thing for the defenders on the Jiaozuo side was the Jin Sui army stationed in Linfen and Jincheng, which also launched a defense on the Henan border. And the reason for their deployment was to prevent the Japanese army from advancing into Shanxi at that time.

Knowing that the two main divisions of the Eighth Route Army were heading south, Lao Jiang said with some surprise: "Niang Xipi, why did their troops move so quickly?" Linfen and Jincheng, aren't they the defense areas of Yanxi Mountain? ”

In the face of such a reprimand, the generals under him also wanted to say that Yan Xishan had already mixed up with the Eighth Route Army at this time. Who told that some time ago, the National Government stopped the salary of the Jin Suijun for so long?

The two main divisions of the Eighth Route Army advanced into Henan to fight, which undoubtedly surprised many people who were concerned about this war. Many people know that this time the Central Army chooses to stand by and watch, then the Eighth Route Army must go up.

Once the Japanese army occupies Zhengzhou, it will pose a huge threat to the Jin Sui army in Linfen and other places, as well as the troops of the Eighth Route Army bordering Linfen. The most important thing is that the Japanese army still has two divisions rushing in the direction of Zhengzhou!

At the same time, in Xinyang, which had always been quiet, the whereabouts of a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared. Those Japanese city defense troops who stayed behind suddenly felt a huge threat.

What was even more surprising to the Japanese army was that the Japanese army city defense troops stationed in Xinxian County were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army overnight. The troops of the Eighth Route Army that liberated Xinxian even informed such news in the form of a telegram.

Upon learning of this situation, the two Japanese divisions and regiments that were fighting in Zhumadian also looked a little angry and said: "Eight Geya Roads, these Tu Eight Roads have popped up at this time, aren't they afraid that we will turn around and return to Xinyang?" ”

Soon, a staff officer said: "What they want is that they want us to return to Xinyang." In this way, they will be able to concentrate their main forces and fight a decisive battle with the 14th Division, which we have launched an attack from Kaifeng. ”

Not long after the Eighth Route Army announced the recapture of Xinxian, the Japanese troops stationed in Macheng sent a mixed infantry brigade to Xinxian. As for the defenders of other cities in Xinyang, they also did not dare to act rashly. The reason is that there is an opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to move outside the city.

The Third Division of the New 67th Army, which had been staying in the Macheng area, learned that the troops stationed in Macheng were heading for Xinxian, and said with the same smile: "Okay, order our troops to launch an attack on Macheng tonight." ”

According to He Zhengdao's previous operational deployment, the new 67th Army will take Dabie Mountain as the core in the next coordinated operation, and sack all the surrounding county towns occupied by the Japanese army to the little devils.

It is necessary to let the little devils know what it means to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and to make the Japanese troops in these places exhausted. Doing so was tantamount to dragging the entire Japanese army in Central China into the war.

When the time comes, I believe that the little devils will also know that they who easily provoke a war will also face the embarrassment of being on fire everywhere. In such a tossed back and forth war, I believe that after a long time, the little devil will know that it will not work if the troops on the front line are not transferred.

But at that time, I was afraid that the two Japanese divisions and regiments that had entered Henan to fight would not be able to withdraw smoothly from the front line. After all, He Zhengdao still retains a main division in Xinyang, waiting for them to return! (To be continued.) )
