As the snow piled up in various parts of the northeast, the column directly under the Northeast Field Army, which had assaulted from Fuxin, finally stopped advancing in Xinmin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Kwantung Army defense unit also built solid fortifications on the other side of the river.

Although he failed to advance to the city of Fengtian, he was still satisfied with He Zhengdao. After all, the area recovered by the Northeast Field Army this year is actually quite large, exceeding the expected goal before the war.

In addition to the direct column began to build fortifications in the territory of Xinmin, the main force of the three columns attacking on the other side also advanced the main force to the central area of Liuliao. As the weather began to get worse, He Zhengdao also ordered to suspend the attack.

Looking at He Zhengdao, who was still staying in the rear headquarters with a layer of snow-white coat on the entire Great Northeast, he also felt that he could take a little rest. At least let the troops, who have worked hard for nearly a year, have a good winter to recover their spirits.

Ye Jianying, as the chief of staff, also said with a smile: "Commander, if you make such a statistic, the harvest of our field army this year is not small!" When the cat finishes this winter, I think that next year, our strength will be able to reach a higher level. ”

Regarding Ye Jianying's words, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "The large army can start to rest, and some special troops are afraid that they will have to fight in the snow." This winter, at least the Kwantung Army must not feel too lonely.

During this period, the Kwantung Army transferred a large number of troops from the border and began to strengthen the defense and vigilance in various places. The factories and railways that were blown up by the special forces before have also been repaired by them one after another. This is also very bad for us.

Tell Li Xiangdong that if he says this year, I'm afraid that he won't be able to return to the army for the New Year. This year's winter training tasks of the special division are mainly attacks and infiltration. Teams with excellent results will be given priority to participate in next year's special forces selection.

Secondly, I sent a telegram to the saber training camp, and all the special detachments that had just graduated this year were brought to the north for actual combat testing. In a word, we can't let the little devil sit idle, we have to find more things to do for it. ”

For this kind of actual combat training, I think those boys should be desperate. But, Commander-in-Chief, go back too! If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't even be able to drink my son's full moon wine! ’

When He Zhengdao was on the front line in the northeast, Chen Siya, who stayed in Yan'an, finally gave birth safely a few days after the snow fell in northern Shaanxi. gave birth to a big fat boy to He Zhengdao, which made the officers and soldiers of Dongye who learned the news very happy.

It's just that for He Zhengdao, his wife can't be by his side when his son is born, and he still feels a little guilty. But if the things on the front line are not properly arranged, even if He Zhengdao returns to Yan'an, he is afraid that he will not be at ease.

At present, all units of the Northeast Field Army have also entered a truce period one after another, and the deployment of various units has also been arranged one after another. As the commander, He Zhengdao went back to Yan'an to visit Chen Siya's mother and son, and it didn't matter if he thought about it.

Even this time, Ye Jianying will return to Yan'an with He Zhengdao. After returning to Yan'an to attend this year's year-end military and political conference, the Northeast Field Army will also need to hold a year-end summing up meeting and draw up a development and operational plan for next year.

"Looking at the weather, there shouldn't be any more snow in the next few days, so I'll set off in the evening to start returning to Yan'an." On the troops' side, everything has been arranged, right? Supplies for the winter, there's nothing wrong with it, right? ’

The application to return to Yan'an has been approved, but He Zhengdao knows very well that this winter is also very important to the Northeast Field Army. With so many newly recovered liberated areas, the troops also need to adapt to a change of place for the winter.

Second, the resettlement of the people's livelihood in the newly liberated areas has also tested the ability of the leadership group of the Northeast Field Army. Fortunately, Chen Yun, as a political commissar, began to prepare winter materials very early, and they were also sent to various material warehouses before the snow.

After factories in various parts of the rear worked overtime to produce grain, quilts, salt, and other civilian materials, the democratic governments at all levels in the liberated areas finally had a certain amount of emergency relief materials in their hands.

In the final analysis, the people in the liberated areas who had just ended the rule of the Japanese army were themselves suffering from the flames of war. It is somewhat impossible to improve the state of life in a short period of time. Many people do not even have food for the winter.

Under such circumstances, Chen Yun distributed relief food to some poor people in accordance with the previous resettlement method of the independent column. The raising of relief grain alone gave Chen Yun a headache, but fortunately, there are still strategic reserves of grain available.

According to He Zhengdao's idea, this winter, the war preparation grain that was stored in the early years will be taken out as relief food. After the resumption of production in the liberated areas next year, it is believed that the grain reserve depots built in various localities will also be able to store more grain.

If we do not save ourselves in this situation, it will not help the Eighth Route Army to establish the prestige of the government in the liberated areas. Moreover, after the winter, He Zhengdao also ordered the city defense troops in various places to launch a winter anti-bandit operation.

There is only one purpose in doing this, and that is to ensure that the people in the liberated areas can spend the winter safely this year. Even if the troops were a little harder, He Zhengdao did not want to see that people in the liberated areas were starved to death or frozen to death.

Even if it is difficult to do so, the supplies purchased from the United States can be delivered from Outer Mongolia one after another. The material reserves of the units of the Eighth Route Army have improved compared with previous years.

Moreover, with the military reclamation farm established earlier, the Eighth Route Army now has relatively sufficient reserves in terms of food. Even last year in Henan, the Eighth Route Army distributed a large amount of relief grain.

Earlier, I sent a telegram to the local governments, although there are still some problems in the local areas. But in terms of food, governments have a lot of reserves. Relief grain was also distributed to the people before the winter.

For some people who are in difficult conditions, we also provide work through cash-for-work, and all wages are paid in food or clothing. As far as the current situation is concerned, many places this winter are afraid that some will be busy. ’

He Zhengdao, who believes that 'if you want to get rich, you must first build roads', was also very concerned about the road construction situation in various places during his administration. In his view, road construction can also be described as a good policy for the people in the liberated areas today.

After the construction of roads, it has become more convenient for people to travel, whether it is to buy or sell goods, it is much more convenient than before. People who have something to do can also get the daily necessities they urgently need by building roads.

In contrast, in democratic governments, when roads are repaired, business tax revenues can also be increased. In addition, even if the security control is above, it will become more convenient and fast. In short, the benefits are indeed quite numerous.

After arranging the work at hand, He Zhengdao was still the same as before, and did not notify Yan'an in advance. With a cavalry guard company, he embarked on the road back to Yan'an, and on the way back, he secretly visited the people's livelihood resettlement work in various places.

Perhaps the military and political chiefs everywhere know that He Zhengdao likes to play the trick of micro-service private interviews very much. The more winter it gets, the more they care about people's livelihood resettlement and stable work, for fear that He Zhengdao will bump into him when he will come.

It has to be said that this year's internal rectification work carried out by the Central Committee and the General Headquarters has also eliminated a number of opportunists and corrupt elements. With some corrupt elements being notified of their executions or imprisonment, the efficiency and integrity of local governments have improved much better.

As long as he didn't find any problems, He Zhengdao would not alarm the local military and political chief departments when he passed through these places. By the time these local leaders learned of the reported situation, He Zhengdao had already left them.

Although I regretted that I was unable to report to Ho Zhengdao in person. But from another point of view, He Zhengdao didn't look for them, because he thought that their work was doing a good job, and he didn't want to disturb their work.

It wasn't until a few days later that He Zhengdao and his entourage arrived in Yan'an. Looking at He Zhengdao, who looked a little tired, the head of state also said with concern: "During this time, it should be very fortunate!" The affairs of the troops, all arranged? ”

'It's all about in order! Next, whether it can survive this winter calmly depends on how the Kwantung Army makes moves. It's just that this winter, I also deployed some battle plans, most of which were sabotage and harassment missions behind enemy lines.

Some time ago, I arranged for Sabre to blow up the railways and factories of the Kwantung Army, which really caused them a lot of trouble. Even according to the intelligence gathered by all parties, the troops of the little devils in the south also had a situation of insufficient ammunition supply at that time.

If they are allowed to produce at full capacity for a winter, next year the little devils will have a large number of weapons and ammunition in their hands. Although our arsenal is also operating at full capacity, it is still slightly less efficient than theirs.

I'm coming back this time, and I'm going to spend some time at the Arsenal before the Chinese New Year. A telegram was sent from the arsenal a while ago, and our new tank armored car has been finalized. At that time, we will test it to see if it can be officially equipped with combat units. ’

'During the Spring Festival, do you still go to the border to inspect the defenses?' ’

Thinking that He Zhengdao would go to the front line to inspect defense affairs during the Spring Festival every year, the head of state thought that He Zhengdao had just been promoted to a father this year, and he somewhat felt that this matter could be suspended. Stay at home and spend the New Year with Chen Siya's mother and son.

As a result, He Zhengdao still shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although I also want to stay with them for the New Year, but if I want to come to this Spring Festival this year, it is better for Siya and their mother and son to stay in Yan'an for the New Year." It is not long after production, and it is not suitable to travel long distances.

With my parents-in-law taking care of me, I can work outside with peace of mind. This year, our liberated areas have expanded too rapidly, and we have taken over some border areas. I'm going to see the situation there for myself. ”

Seeing that He Zhengdao still insisted on the arrangement of inspecting the troops during the Spring Festival, the head of state didn't say much. Speaking of which, having such a person in charge of the army is actually a blessing for them to be leaders.

It is precisely the dedication and dedication of the responsible persons of these units that has enabled the cause of the party and the army to make such great progress. Giving up a small family and taking care of everyone may be the most appropriate to describe He Zhengdao.

For this reason, the head of state also sighed: "After two more years of hard work, when the whole country is liberated, you will also have time to spend the Spring Festival with your family with peace of mind." As for Xiaoya and her parents, I'll help you watch it too! ”

'Thank you, Führer! ’

Just four words are enough to prove He Zhengdao's trust in the Fuhrer. Perhaps it is this trust that gives He Zhengdao the motivation to work hard outside. After all, we are still a little far from the goal of national liberation!
