As He Zhengdao adjusted his combat deployment, he began to end the onslaught on the Japanese army and switched to defense and siege. In response to the adjustment of this tactic, the Japanese puppet army garrisoning in Tangshan and Qinhuangdao www.biquge.info undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that when Okamura Ninji learned the news, he was very surprised and admired. The surprise was naturally that the Eighth Route Army was able to be so decisive, giving up the advantage they currently occupy and switching its troops to defensive operations in advance.

What I admire is that the Eighth Route Army was able to find out the news of the landing of reinforcements from Tianyuan so easily. It's easy to say that you can take it when you see it, but what you can really do requires a lot of determination and perseverance.

Knowing that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, which were attacking Tangshan, they retreated some distance and began to build fortifications, and it seemed that they did not intend to continue the offensive. Okamura Ninji also understood that even if he sent the 114th Division over, he might not be able to bargain too much.

It can be said that the arrival of reinforcements from the two divisions may make the situation of the North China Front safer. But if he wants to reverse the current unfavorable situation in North China, Okamura Ningji feels that he is afraid that it will not work.

For this reason, Okamura Ningji finally ordered the 114th Division to move to the Tangshan area according to the original plan to ensure the safety of Tianyi and Beiping. Nailed there, not to give the Eighth Route Army another chance to raid the Tangshan area.

Reinforcements from the Ryukyus were sent by Okamura Ninji to the Shijiazhuang area to increase the defense there. With the new force of the main division, Okamura Ninji believed that if the Eighth Route Army wanted to attack North China again, it would not be so easy.

Although this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, for Okamura Ninji, it can at least give the North China Front a little respite. If the Eighth Route Army really wants to recover North China, then it will also become very unfavorable to the overall situation of their war against China.

On the other hand, after experiencing this war, the Eastern Hebei Army Division, which was about to be reorganized into three columns, paid a certain price. However, being able to recover Shanhaiguan and open up the strategic arteries into the northeast is also a profit for the Eighth Route Army.

Most importantly, the recovery of Shanhaiguan also provided a stable rear for the Eighth Route Army to march into Jinxi. As long as the North China Front is defended, the troops in the east will be able to open from Shanhaiguan to the outside of the customs one after another.

As the Eighth Route Army ended this short offensive, it began to deploy heavy troops in the area from Qinhuangdao to Shanhaiguan to defend against the Japanese troops besieging Qinhuangdao. Tangshan will also deploy defense troops under the noses of little devils.

I thought that the little devil division that reinforced Tangshan would fight a counterattack or two. As a result, after the arrival of the 114th Division, it instead focused on strengthening their fortifications. This made He Zhengdao also feel very surprised.

Looking at Xu Mingyuan and Han Xianchu, who had returned from the front line, He Zhengdao also said thoughtfully: "It seems that this Okamura Ningji is also an old fox." He knows very well that what North China wants at the moment is not to fight but to be stable.

As long as he can hold the existing territory in North China, he will have no problems as a commander. As for the Shanhaiguan Pass that is being lost at the moment, in the final analysis, it is still a problem of the Kwantung Army. Fighting with us, he really can't afford to work hard.

Since this old fox does not want to fight us to the death, then we will suspend the offensive and begin to complete the reorganization of the troops and the stabilization of the people's livelihood in the liberated areas as soon as possible. Give you a month, questions? ”

'Nope! Mission completion guaranteed! ’

Hearing that He Zhengdao gave Sanzong a month of reorganization time, Xu Mingyuan also felt that the time was completely enough. In the final analysis, this big battle basically shows that those main forces are more solidly trained.

As for the main regiment with slightly weaker combat effectiveness, it will also be reorganized into a garrison unit to continue training. As the righteous path said, as long as they can continue to maintain a motivated spirit, they will also have the opportunity to be added to the main force in the future.

After saying these words, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Xianchu, I am afraid that your work will be relatively heavy next." In addition to the work of reorganizing the troops, which requires you to be responsible for the work, you also need to worry more about the work of people's livelihood in the liberated areas.

Although at present, our county-level democratic government has basically been established. But you should know that Jidong is choked by little devils here, and the restoration of people's livelihood is also very important, and this task is more difficult than the reorganization of the troops.

This time, I applied to the Central Committee for the capture of the battle and set aside half of the funds for you. For the rest of the seized machinery and equipment, I will also apply to the central government to open a few factories and mines in eastern Hebei.

The remaining important work is the construction of the military reclamation farm. This matter, if you are not very familiar with it, Mingyuan should be able to help you a lot. On my side, at most, I can provide you with some policies and manpower.

I hope that in a month, you will be able to stabilize the situation in eastern Hebei. The little devils won't give us too much time, we still have to advance to the northeast as soon as possible, and once it comes to winter, the problem of fighting will be more troublesome. ”

Although there is still a period of time before winter, He Zhengdao is also clear that winter outside the customs comes relatively early. If it is really necessary to raise troops into the northeast in winter, then for the troops participating in the war, the supply alone will consume even more.

Hearing that He Zhengdao could keep half of the funds captured in this battle on the side of the Three Verticals, Han Xianchu, who also knew that in order to stabilize the place, the funds were very important, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, he also knew that this was the greatest support He Zhengdao gave him to take office. With money in his pocket, he, the political commissar, can be recognized by his subordinates. If there is no money in his pocket, he, the political commissar, will not be able to move an inch in the future.

After He Zhengdao's words spoke, Han Xianchu was also very moved and said, "Thank you for your support, commander!" No matter how great the difficulties are, our three verticals will strive to complete the tasks assigned by the party Central Committee in the shortest possible time. ”

"Okay, I'll leave the affairs of the three verticals to the two of you." If you have any difficulties or needs, you can also send me a telegram. Where I can, I'll do my best to help.

I just want you to remember that we have a lot of money to spend right now. Even I, the commander, have a hard time. Therefore, we should think more of ways to be self-reliant and find more ways for the people to earn a living.

As long as we get through this most difficult time and wait until the work in the liberated areas is on track, I believe that our life with the people will get better day by day. If you have something to do, you should also think of more ways to find money.

I left the little devils in Tangshan and Qinhuangdao here, in fact, to give you a way to make a fortune. As for how to find money from the little devils, it depends on what the two of you can think of, understand? ’

It is clear that the Eighth Route Army can have such a situation at present, and the combat capture is indeed indispensable. It can be said that the current situation of the Eastern Hebei Military Sub-district has a lot to do with the little devils.

As for how to open up a new way to make money, it depends on whether Han Xianchu and Xu Mingyuan can find an opportunity. After all, although he does not advocate a large-scale attack on the little devils at the moment, he has not said that he cannot fight the devils.

Occasionally go to the outposts and turrets of the little devils, as long as the casualties of the attacking troops are controlled, I believe that there will be a lot of gains in each battle. This kind of fighting style is also what the Eighth Route Army is best at.

Before leaving, He Zhengdao left the artillery he brought with him the previous time to the three columns. In this way, the Third Column can also rely on these artillery pieces to form an artillery division and heavy artillery regiment directly under the column.

The remaining three main divisions can also be equipped with an artillery regiment. Even if the caliber of the artillery is mountain artillery and field artillery, the combat effectiveness of the three columns has undoubtedly been greatly improved.

Even if the time comes, the 114th Division in Tangshan suddenly counterattacks, I believe that in terms of artillery countermeasures, the Third Column will not be inferior to the little devils. With such strong support, Xu Mingyuan is undoubtedly very moved.

After leaving from the Eastern Hebei Military Division, He Zhengdao also took the guards around him and entered the territory of Chengde, which had been recovered. On the second day after arriving in Chengde, He Zhengdao summoned Li Xiangdong and the commanders of the First Column to hold an operational meeting.

As the main column with the strongest combat effectiveness in Dongye, most of the main forces of the first column were assembled in the Chengde area. And here is also the focus of He Zhengdao's next offensive, and the object of the attack is the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army in Chaoyang.

Looking at the commanders of the Central Committee and any of the first columns of the General Headquarters, He Zhengdao also looked very happy. The reason is that the commander of the first column is also He Zhengdao's old subordinate, Wang Tianlin, the chief of staff of the independent column in the early years.

The positions of the commanders of the remaining three main divisions remain unchanged, except for the political commissar who is regarded as an expatriate from the central government, and the commanders of the rest of the column are all old men of the independent column. In this way, the reorganization of the first column is undoubtedly the fastest.

As for the new political commissar, although He Zhengdao doesn't know much about him, he also knows that this is a cadre. In addition, in the party and the army, he is also a young outstanding cadre of political work.

"Political Commissar Su, I really didn't expect that the chairman and the boss would be willing to send you over!" Even if you are the political commissar in charge, you can rest assured if you want to come to Lao Wang. What do you think? After taking office, are you still adapting? ’

Su Zhenhua was also the captain of Yan'an Military and Political University before taking office. But when it comes to his qualifications, he is undoubtedly an old seniority in the Eighth Route Army. The most important thing is that the age can be regarded as a young and strong faction.

In fact, in the matter of selecting the leadership of the column for Dongye, Taizu and Mr. Zhu also gave priority to selecting outstanding military and political cadres who had experience and were relatively senior in the party and the army, but were relatively young.

In this way, at least He Zhengdao will be more handy in managing and commanding. And the column command level of Dongye is relatively the youngest among the Eighth Route Army.

But with such a young team, no one can ignore its strength. Perhaps, as Taizu said, young people are more creative, and he also wants to see what this Northeast Field Army will eventually develop.

Every cadre sent to work in the Northeast Field Army, Taizu and Mr. Zhu talked to him personally. Without exception, they all hope that they will go to their new positions and cooperate well with He Zhengdao's work. This kind of unconditional support for He Zhengdao is undoubtedly very rare.
