Chapter 683: A Little Selfishness of Individuals!

(PS: It's early morning again!) I don't know how many book friends still stay by their mobile phones and computers to read books? I don't know if everyone had fun on the first day of the National Day! But either way, don't forget to vote after reading the book! Today's mosquitoes, but stay at home for a day! Ask for support and encouragement! )

As the news spread that the Central Committee and the General Headquarters had decided to establish the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, many of the main division commanders who were qualified to know about this matter were very surprised. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause many people think that this time will not be too early.

What surprised everyone even more was that the candidate for the post of commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army would be He Zhengdao, who had just led his troops to open up the situation in Central China. The most surprising thing was that General He Zhengdao resigned from the post of commander of the 67th Army.

This also means that the three main divisions that He Zhengdao brought to Central China will no longer be under his command. Being able to make such a decision is indeed unexpected by many people. But the meaning behind the sudden resignation is also intriguing.

Even after learning the news, Liu Shaoqi, who returned to Yan'an, specially approached He Zhengdao and asked him why he resigned from the post of army commander. After all, before he went to Central China to take up his post, the work in Central China had been in the hands of He Zhengdao.

At present, he is serving as the secretary of the Central China Bureau, but He Zhengdao, as the deputy secretary, chooses to resign from the Central China Bureau. Even if there is no reason for this, I can't help but speculate about what others will speculate about.

Perhaps seeing Liu Shaoqi's grievances, He Zhengdao could only explain with a wry smile: "Old leader, about resigning from the job in Central China, it is true that I didn't say hello in advance, I did not do it right, and I ask the old leader to forgive me."

I wanted to lead troops into the northeast, and it was also a decision I made on the way back to Yan'an and seeing the development of various troops. I believe that if we want to develop our base areas, we must create a new situation in North China.

At present, we have a large number of troops in North China, and if we want to compete with the Japanese army in North China, I believe we still have a certain certainty of victory. But with the addition of the Kwantung Army outside the gates, we are afraid that we will not be able to do it.

If at this time, we can have a force to contain the Kwantung Army outside the Guan, so that they have no time to take care of the affairs of North China. Then I think that even if we make a bigger move in North China, I believe that the little devils can only find another way to solve it. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, when he was transferred to Central China, Liu Shaoqi himself served as the secretary of the Northern Bureau. Therefore, Liu Shaoqi is undoubtedly clear about the situation in North China. This kind of bondage also exists.

But he was still a little puzzled and said: "The affairs of the Northeast are important, but Central China has just opened up the situation, and it also needs your support." Now that you are leaving suddenly, what will the troops fighting in Central China think? ”

As the secretary of the Central China Bureau, Liu Shaoqi naturally inspected He Zhengdao's troops. He Zhengdao's prestige in the New 67th Army has a better understanding than anyone else. In the bones of this army, there is a kind of psychology of worshipping He Zhengdao.

Most of the commanders of the troops were old subordinates who He Zhengdao brought all the way from the Long March to Yulin. It can be said that these officers are also the staunchest supporters of He Zhengdao. In the Eighth Route Army, there were actually not many such troops.

But if you really want to talk about it, the independent column is also the most special force. From the day it was formed, this unit has been fighting outside the main force. Many commanders of the troops have had the experience of being captured in the past.

Even if these officers are politically tainted, what is the right way for this commander to defend. Even if there were some people in the central government, when they wanted to investigate those people, they were directly blocked by He Zhengdao.

This kind of maintenance also made He Zhengdao have a large number of die-hard subordinates in the independent column. In the eyes of those subordinates, their political lives were saved by He Zhengdao, and it seems that He Zhengdao was the commander.

Once the rumors reach the ears of those old subordinates of He Zhengdao, what will they think of him, the secretary of the Central China Bureau? And how do you view the sudden decision made by the central government and the headquarters?

If you can't find anyone in the Northeast, why do you have to transfer He Zhengdao, who is doing a good job in Central China?

Regarding Liu Shaoqi's incomprehension, He Zhengdao also said directly: "Old leader, I don't think you have to worry about the affairs of the troops. The new 67th Army is not my personal unit, but a unit under the leadership of the party.

And after I stepped down, there was still Political Commissar Xiao with them. There will also be no change in the division leaders of the divisions. From the day they joined the independent column, I told them that at all times we must keep in mind the principle that the party commands the gun unwaveringly.

If you want to talk about why I made such a decision, I want to break the deadlock in the war of resistance in North China. But on the other hand, it is also mixed with a little selfishness of my own selfishness. Maybe the old leader doesn't know, but I should also be a Northeasterner.

Although I have been learning art with my master since I was sensible, I have accompanied him to travel the world. But when the master picked me up, I was in a bloodbathed village near the Great Khing'an Mountains, and I was the only survivor in the village.

Since the outbreak of the 918 Incident, the Northeast has been ruled by little devils for more than seven years. In the past seven years, how many innocent people in the Northeast have died under the butcher's knife of the little devil. As a Northeasterner, how can I sit idly by?

Every time I think of the cruel policies that the little devils are now implementing in the Northeast, my heart really doesn't feel good. When will the people of our northeast be condemned for even eating a mouthful of rice?

I didn't hide it from the old leaders, I chose to lead the independent column to be responsible for the defense in the direction of Yulin, in fact, I thought that one day I could march into the northeast, liberate the northeast, and let the people of the northeast end this miserable life. ”

In fact, not many people know about the background of He Zhengdao. What many people know is that He Zhengdao was led into the revolutionary team by Mao and directly arranged to serve as a guard.

Before he joined the Red Army, he had been following a Taoist who traveled to the party, and the origin of the orphan was unknown. At the beginning, Mao Li also rejected public opinion and directly arranged him to serve as a guard by his side and accept the political review of the security forces.

But not many people know who he is from there. Even Liu Shaoqi didn't expect that He Zhengdao would be an orphan picked up from the Northeast back then. The sudden decision to enter the Tohoku seems understandable when you think about it.

Beautiful or not, hometown water. Kiss or not, hometown people!

Even He Zhengdao may not have a deep memory of the Northeast, or no memory at all. But it cannot be denied that he was an orphan who was adopted from the Northeast. With this relationship, he is qualified to say that he is a Northeasterner.

And in terms of body type, He Zhengdao does have a bit of a tall and straight appearance from the Northeast. At this time, He Zhengdao's decision to organize another force to support the northeast seems reasonable.

After such an explanation, Liu Shaoqi finally didn't want to say anything more. After all, He Zhengdao was the only one who left from the Central China Bureau this time. The leadership of the rest of the new 67th Army will remain unchanged, and the commander-in-chief of the troops will also not change.

The only change may be the reconnaissance brigade of the new 67th Army, and He Zhengdao will still be transferred to his command and under his command. For this unit, Liu Shaoqi also knows that this is the real core force of the independent column.

It can be said that taking away the reconnaissance brigade from the New 67th Army will also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the New 67th Army. Fortunately, judging from what he learned, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the New 67th Army were also old units that He Zhengdao started.

With these two ace main divisions here, I believe that the little devil wants to get too much bargain in Central China, and it is estimated that it is unlikely!

When everyone gathered in the courtyard in the evening, He Zhengdao also took the opportunity to talk about the situation and talk about it in general. It always makes people feel that he is very mysterious, and in the eyes of He Zhengdao, it is also very detrimental to his development.

Now take advantage of this opportunity to be honest about his life experience, and I believe that others can understand why he suddenly made such a decision after returning to Yan'an. will not misunderstand Liu Shaoqi and others again because of this incident.

Although the formation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army is no secret among these main division commanders. But about the Shanxi Campaign, the headquarters still did not disclose it prematurely. At this time, it is better to pay more attention to the battle situation in Henan.

At the barbecue that night, He Zhengdao also had a discussion with all the teachers. With the two main divisions of the Eighth Route Army and a new third division advancing into Henan, it was indeed somewhat unexpected by the national * army and the Japanese army.

It's just that for the 14th Division, which arrived near Zhengzhou, after learning that the Nationalist Army took the initiative to retreat, the Eighth Route Army actually dispatched troops to fight in Henan, which was indeed somewhat unexpected by Tufeiyuan.

Although Tu Feiyuan also expected that the Eighth Route Army would definitely not let them occupy Zhengzhou so easily before the war. However, the speed and strength of the Eighth Route Army really disrupted his plan before the war.

But the real killer weapon was not the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army that advanced into Henan to fight, but the Eighth Route Army's armed forces behind enemy lines that were harassing in the rear. The earlier small-scale raid warfare has gradually evolved into a large-scale blocking and ambush warfare.

The Japanese baggage troops, which sent heavy troops to transport supplies for the 14th Division, were also ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. Although the Eighth Route Army failed to completely annihilate this Japanese baggage force in the end, this batch of materials was also burned by the Eighth Route Army.

Even such battles did not happen together. For a while, Tu Feiyuan also really realized that the supply of troops he was most worried about finally had a problem. Therefore, the Japanese army also quickly made corresponding contingency measures.

Originally, the war involving only one province in Henan Province has now evolved into a situation of melee in the Central Plains. The Japanese army wanted to send supplies in, but the Eighth Route Army made every effort to prevent the Japanese army's supplies from entering Henan.

Around the highway for transporting supplies, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army also engaged in fierce confrontations. As for the new 67th Army, which took Xinxian, it also launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops left behind in various places.

Looking at these armed forces behind enemy lines active in the Dabie Mountains, they began to go out of the mountains to besiege the county towns near the Dabie Mountains. The Japanese army city defense units stationed in these counties also felt tremendous pressure.

For a time, the two Japanese divisions and regiments that had broken through the defense line set up by the Kuomintang Army in Zhumadian were also faced with the dilemma of continuing to advance or returning to the garrison to stabilize the local situation. What the Japanese army didn't know was that this was just the beginning of the Henan Campaign! (To be continued.) )
