After recovering Suiyuan, Baotou and Ulanqab, He Zhengdao expanded the most troops in these places, and it was also a cavalry unit. The reason for the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is also because the cavalry units have a relatively strong mobility ability and can cope with more unexpected situations.

Compared with other inland cities, most of these places are sparsely populated areas, and the terrain is much flatter than that of the interior. And because it borders on Outer Mongolia, the surrounding situation is still relatively complicated.

Although since the Eighth Route Army recovered these areas, some princes and nobles either fled to the places controlled by the Japanese army, or went directly to Outer Mongolia. There are actually not many grassland princes who are willing to support the Eighth Route Army.

In order to control these places and ensure the safety of the herdsmen and the people who moved here, He Zhengdao also focused on expanding the cavalry force. This is also why in the Gohara area, in addition to the reserve troops, a cavalry division was stationed.

The reason why the 4th Cavalry Division was not placed at the forefront was also because it did not want to cause tension in Outer Mongolia. However, retaining a main cavalry division is also a great deterrent to the hostile forces that want to fight the idea of fighting the Wuyuan region.

In fact, the Fourth Cavalry Division has not been formed for a long time, but its reputation in the Wuyuan area is not small. As the main cavalry force of the Eighth Route Army, the daily training of the cavalry division is actually stricter than that of the infantry division.

In He Zhengdao's view, the cavalry division is an emergency mobile force. His requirement for the cavalry division is that it must not only be proficient in cavalry combat skills, but also become a main infantry force that is good at defending and attacking after dismounting.

Since the formation of the unit, the members of the divisional party committee of the Fourth Cavalry Division naturally hoped that He Zhengdao would come to their cavalry division to have a look, even if they would usually have the opportunity to go to Yulin to attend a division-level combat meeting.

But for many ordinary commanders and fighters of the Fourth Cavalry Division, they all knew that they were soldiers under He Zhengdao. But it is not known what He Zhengdao looks like, and whether it is as magical as others say.

At this moment, the sentry platoon commander who led He Zhengdao to the division headquarters looked at He Zhengdao who was walking behind him, and he also felt excited and incredible. The reason is that he also thinks that He Zhengdao is really young!

At such a young age, he was the senior command of the Eighth Route Army, from an ordinary company commander during the Long March to the commander of the current large military region. This kind of miraculous promotion speed is also the object of worship and learning of these officers.

Of course, what these young grassroots officers admired the most was the great victory of He Zhengdao after he formed the first independent guard regiment. Had it not been for these victories, the Independent Column would not have expanded so rapidly.

When He Zhengdao and his entourage arrived at the gate of the division headquarters, division commander Li Xiangbei and political commissar Qin Shan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Hello commander!" ”

'Hello! I didn't delay your work today because I gave you an early notice, did you? ’

'Nope! We were all very happy to learn that the commander had arrived. However, for the sake of the safety of the commander, we have not informed the officers and men of the division that you are about to inspect the work of our division. We know that the commander does not like this set! ’

As an old subordinate of He Zhengdao, Li Xiangbei often goes to Yulin to report work and hold meetings. But this is after he served as the commander of the cavalry division, he greeted the arrival of He Zhengdao at his division headquarters.

Listening to Li Xiangbei's words, He Zhengdao also pretended to be helpless and said: "It seems that you have already figured out the little Jiujiu in my heart." However, seeing the construction of your barracks, I am still very satisfied.

Most importantly, judging from what I have visited and investigated today, you have still fulfilled your duties and obligations as the people's soldiers. I am very pleased that the people in the city still have a good reputation for you, which shows that you are doing a good job! ”

Before coming to Wuyuan City, He Zhengdao was actually more concerned about the reputation of the troops under his command in this place. In He Zhengdao's view, the people's good reputation for the army shows that the army has done a good job.

Being able to get the people's recognition and affirmation naturally shows that their principles and policies are not wrong. With the support and recognition of the people, it is possible for the army to develop and grow, control the place well, and maintain the stability and prosperity of this region.

Qin Shan, as a political commissar, heard He Zhengdao's words, and said with a smile: "With the commander's evaluation, I believe that the commanders and fighters of the whole division will feel proud." But what we do more is to implement the principles and policies of the Party and the General Headquarters.

As a matter of fact, we were able to build the barracks in such a short period of time thanks to the support and help of the political commissars of the border regions and the leaders of the military sub-districts. Of course, it has also been widely supported by the local people, which may be what the commander often says.

The people's soldiers love the people, and the people love the people's soldiers. After our division was stationed in Wuyuan, it basically organized activities to clean up garbage on the streets twice a month, as well as to comfort the poor people.

Earlier, when we first entered Wuyuan, the people in the city were still wary of us. Often this series of work is integrated into the people, and the people gradually feel our sincerity, so that our reputation in the city is quite good! ”

'Well, that's good! Political Commissar Qin has a saying that is very right, we must learn to integrate into the people and truly enter into zero-distance contact with the people. In this regard, the main forces behind enemy lines in North China have won the support of the people in this form.

Although this is our rear, the people are somewhat unfamiliar with us. The most important thing is that you should all know that this is a place where many ethnic groups live together, and no matter how good you say, it is better to prove yourself with practical actions.

As long as the people here see our goodness and truly recognize us as the people's soldiers, then they will also support and support us. With the support of the people, we can make steady progress in all aspects of our work. ’

Accompanying the division commander Li Xiangbei to chat with political commissar Qin Shan for a few words, He Zhengdao naturally did not forget to shake hands with other regiment-level commanders who came to greet him. For these cadres, He Zhengdao's nodding action made them feel excited.

Not long after the group entered the conference room of the division headquarters, the sound of eating was also heard in the barracks. Even though there were still some things to talk about, He Zhengdao still smiled and said, "Xiangbei, take me to your canteen to have a look!" ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Although Li Xiangbei knew that He Zhengdao rarely came to the division headquarters, he should do something good to entertain this old chief. But he also knew that if he really did this, he was afraid that he would provoke He Zhengdao's displeasure.

Sharing weal and woe with soldiers is also something He Zhengdao has always emphasized. Since officers began to receive monthly post allowances, the Eighth Route Army also abolished the so-called cadre meals and instructed officers to eat the same as soldiers.

In this case, although there are quite a few officers who have opinions. But this regulation was still recognized by many soldiers. After all, the act of eating small stoves will make the soldiers feel that the equality of officers and soldiers mentioned by the army is just empty words.

And the officers gradually felt good about the discount of the food expenses. With them, it also means that they have some private money. This money is still very important for older officers.

If you really want to eat something good, the troops will have a meal every New Year's holiday, and maybe when there is a combat mission, they can also eat something good. In the worst case, they can also go to a restaurant outside for an occasional meal while they are on vacation.

In this way, the soldiers will not feel any opinions. After all, what they eat, the officers eat the same as them. In this way, some young soldiers who had just joined the Eighth Route Army really recognized it.

Arriving at the headquarters of the cavalry division, He Zhengdao naturally changed into a military uniform. When Li Xiangbei and Qin Shan led He Zhengdao to appear in the canteen of the cavalry division, many soldiers who were queuing up to eat were very curious.

Only some veterans and officers of the cavalry division were surprised and said: "Ah! It's the commander! The commander is here for our fourth division! ”

The surprises of these veterans and officers naturally attracted the sideways glances of the soldiers in the cafeteria. Looking at the old subordinates who saluted and greeted him, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Hello! It's meal time, don't disturb the soldiers to eat. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Seeing He Zhengdao salute back with a smile, and politely explained that it was meal time, these veterans and officers felt a little embarrassed. But no matter what, He Zhengdao has gradually been recognized by many recruits.

When he came to the window of the canteen where he was cooking, He Zhengdao saw that tonight's dish had one meat and two vegetables, and he was also very satisfied: "Take me to the kitchen to see!" At present, there should be no problem with the food supply of the troops, right? ”

'Nope! Wuyuan City is an important commercial town, and because of the Chinese New Year, there are more merchants who come and go here. A few days ago, the military region sent us a large amount of supplies and supplies, which were enough for us to have a good New Year. ’

'Hmmm! That's good! During the Spring Festival, in addition to the necessary combat readiness work, the physical training of officers and men can be appropriately stopped and more queue training can be carried out. If the training intensity is too high, the supply of meat should also be strengthened.

As for the military region's operational plan for next year, I believe you all know some of the circumstances. This winter is also a good time for fighters to stock up on physical strength. It is necessary to let the officers and men eat well and let them feel the warmth of the big family of the troops.

As for the matter of standing guard on duty during the Spring Festival, the old tradition of our independent column cannot be lost. Usually the soldiers stand guard for us, and on the day of the Spring Festival, we also want the soldiers to have a comfortable New Year. ’

'Yes, please rest assured, commander, we have already worked out in advance the plan for the Spring Festival combat readiness duty! ’

Although in his previous life, He Zhengdao was more of a special operations instructor, and he had no experience in leading troops to fight big battles. However, some of the good traditions and work styles of the army have also been borrowed and used by He Zhengdao in the construction of the army.

At least judging from the current effect, it is still very recommendable. Some good systems and traditions have also been slowly borrowed and used by other main forces. The constantly developing ideas in the exploration have undoubtedly also promoted the overall development of the Eighth Route Army.

This has also made the troops led by He Zhengdao become the benchmark troops of the Eighth Route Army. Such an honor naturally brings He Zhengdao great honor and affirmation. It also makes his position as stable as Mount Tai! (To be continued.) )
