Chapter 662: Three More Sessions!
(PS: Today's fourth update!) Ask for some monthly pass support! It's the end of the month, and there are still book friends who have monthly passes, please vote for your sacred vote, please! )
After the end of the previous Battle of Wuhan, the New 67th Army and the 77th Army, which were supposed to retreat to the rear in time, seemed to have become forgotten troops, blocked in Xinyang by two little devil divisions, and almost wiped out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although there was no definite information about the losses of the new 67th Army, the Nationalist Government did not receive any definite information. But in addition to the commander of the 77th Army and some officers of the main division, the 77th Army, which has been reorganized, can be said to be disabled.
In response to this situation, Zhou Enlai, who was in charge of the liaison work of the Eighth Route Army Representative Office at that time, immediately protested to the Nationalist Government and Lao Jiang. How can such a serious matter be forgiven for the reason that the telegram was sent incorrectly?
Taking advantage of the fact that the Nationalist Government had violated the agreement on cooperation between the two parties, Zhou Enlai resolutely wanted to return command of the new 67th Army. But in fact, when the Japanese army captured the cities of Xinyang, most of the main forces were lurking and moving.
However, after such an incident happened, considering that the Nationalist Government might turn its face in the future, He Zhengdao still suggested that a liaison office be set up in Chongqing, and some important personnel should be withdrawn to Yan'an in advance, and only some liaison personnel should be kept there.
As the vice chairman, Zhou Enlai is naturally one of the candidates who chose to evacuate. Even if the Zhou Mansion still exists, Zhou Enlai took the opportunity to go back to Yan'an to report work and hold a meeting, and also returned to Yan'an one step earlier than He Zhengdao.
Although he was not sure whether he would return to Chongqing, Zhou Enlai, who was in Yan'an at the moment, was invited by the correspondent around him, and quickly rushed to the cave of ***, and soon saw Mr. Zhu who had just come over.
'Boss, you're here too!' It seems that Xiao He has another problem for the chairman! ’
I think so too! However, I am still curious if this kid has made any progress when he comes back from walking around outside. The telegrams sent by the 117th and 129th Divisions earlier praised this kid in the telegrams! ’
Mr. Zhu, who replied to Zhou Enlai with a smile, also knew that as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, he really needed to discuss with *** in matters involving He Zhengdao. This can also show that the importance of He Zhengdao is being revealed.
'Yes! In the 117th Division, this kid caught the military commander's side, and he always wanted to catch the little ghost child spy. In the 129th Division, he even intervened and wiped out a special combat team of little devils. For this reason, the little devil also mobilized the crowd! ’
For some reason, in Zhou Enlai's opinion, He Zhengdao is indeed the same as Fuxing. No matter where he is, as long as he is there, something will inevitably happen. Fortunately, these things are good things for the party and the army.
The correspondent who led the two of them over quickly said: "Commander-in-chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, the chairman and Commander He are discussing in the study. ”
Hearing this, Mr. Zhu, nodded with a slightly surprised expression and said, "Okay, I know!" ”
In Mr. Zhu's opinion, in the past, He Zhengdao came to talk about things at ***'s residence, mostly in the courtyard. Although the weather is getting cooler now, it is worth talking about in the study, and it is not a trivial matter!
Just as the two of them stepped into the cave, He Zhengdao, who came out of the study, also smiled and said, "Commander-in-chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, you are here!" ”
Looking at He Zhengdao, who came out of the room to greet him, Mr. Zhu also said with some curiosity: "What did you kid do again, let us have three sessions of trial!" If you want to get married, don't you have anything else to do? ”
'Commander-in-chief, are you encouraging me to abolish my public office for personal gain?' I don't have the guts! ’
smiled and led the two into the *** study, and He Zhengdao was also very quick to make a cup of tea for the two. Recently, the tea that these chiefs drank probably used the new tea that He Zhengdao purchased from Dabie Mountain.
As for other more well-known teas in China, for these chiefs who often drink strong tea, it is actually the same taste. At least He Zhengdao knows that some commanders even like to drink that kind of bitter bitter tea.
'Boss, Enlai, you are here, these are the proposals submitted by this kid to the central government and the headquarters. I've taken a look at it, and it's still very constructive, so you can all see it then, and then we'll discuss how to implement it. ’
After receiving the proposal handed by ***, Mr. Zhu naturally looked at the proposal about the army. In this proposal, He Zhengdao also stressed the importance of militia building, which can reduce the number of guerrillas and expand the militia.
The general idea of this proposal is to 'hide the army from the people'. Even those disabled veterans of the main force can be assigned to local militia captains or instructors, so that these disabled veterans will not fade away.
Disabled veterans with actual combat experience can also improve the overall quality of the militia by serving as militia captains and instructors in the villages in the base areas. Selecting excellent soldiers for the next step of the main force saves a lot of time for recruit training.
As long as the main forces are allotted more bullets for live-ammunition training, it is believed that training such as team routines and shooting can also effectively shorten the time for recruits to enlist in the army. This is actually good for the main forces.
As for the guerrillas, the whole is still dominated by the armed forces. The role of the guerrillas is to serve as liaison between the main force and the militia units, and at the same time to be responsible for intelligence gathering and reconnaissance in the base areas.
After reading He Zhengdao's proposal, Mr. Zhu also nodded approvingly: "Hiding soldiers from the people and all the people are soldiers, this is really a good idea." It not only reduces the burden on the main forces, but also ensures the labor force of village production, which is worth promoting to the whole army! ”
On the contrary, he looked at Zhou Enlai, who had a heavy expression, and said in a timely manner: "Chairman, you specially called me and the boss, presumably not to let us see these proposals, right?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Enlai took the initiative to mention the matter, *** also nodded and said, "Indeed!" There is a situation where I need to exchange views with you. It was about this kid who was going to resign as commander of the new 67th Army after the congress. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Enlai also said with a surprised face: "Resign? Well, why did you resign as a military commander? To be exact, this army commander was appointed by the Nationalist Government, how can you resign from Lao Jiang? ”
'It's easy! Let's just say that I was not able to fight on the front line, resulting in heavy casualties of the new 67th Army, which was deliberated by the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. I was dismissed from my post as commander of the New 67th Army and stayed in Yan'an to arrange another post.
At least I think that if I reply to Lao Jiang's side according to my words, it is estimated that they will also steal the fun. In fact, is it really that important for us to have the name of the new 67th Army? ’
After He Zhengdao's words were finished, Mr. Zhu took over and said very seriously: "What opinions Lao Jiang has on his side is really not that important. The question is, you have just opened up the situation in Central China, why do you suddenly want to resign from the post of military commander?
As far as I know, you have cooperated very well with the Central China Bureau, and Comrade Shaoqi has repeatedly praised you in his telegrams to the Central Committee. You should also know that the work in Central China also needs you.
Don't tell me, as soon as you get married, you're ready to accompany your wife to the hot pit. You should at least have a reason for resigning as military commander, right? In my opinion, you are not the kind of person who picks at every turn! ”
'Commander-in-chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, pick and choose at will, I dare there! I want to resign from the Central China Bureau, more because I have a new idea and plan. In my opinion, it doesn't really mean much that I'm not there in Central China.
Instead, I'm more willing to try some of the tougher tasks and take on some new challenges. Specifically, I intend to reorganize a unit on the Yulin side and start trying to enter the northeast to fight. ’
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhu and Zhou Enlai felt a little surprised. At least at this stage, they more or less know that the Kwantung Army still has a very tight control over the Northeast. The situation in the Northeast is more complex than elsewhere.
Especially in recent years, the Japanese army has developed a large number of pro-Japanese elements in the northeast. The presence of these people will also increase the danger of troops fighting behind enemy lines. But they must admit that the Northeast is really important for the Eighth Route Army.
As for the threat of the Eastern Army, they must be low-key and cautious in North China. Even at this stage, a large-scale reconquest campaign was not launched, in consideration of provoking the North China Front, and then the Kwantung Army would be in trouble when it began to move south.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army also entered a frenzied expansion operation. The Kwantung Army, which is based in the northeast, in addition to having a number of elite divisions with rich combat experience, has also expanded many new divisions and regiments.
If these troops move south, it will also be a huge challenge for the Eighth Route Army. But it is not easy to venture into the Northeast and gnaw the hard bone of the Kwantung Army. He Zhengdao's move seems a bit risky!
At this time, *** told the two of them what He Zhengdao said before. The two were even more surprised to hear that the Soviet Union might sign a non-aggression pact with the Japanese army in the future.
Even Zhou Enlai said very directly: "Righteous way, do you feel that it is necessary to advance to the northeast to fight in advance based on these inferences?" You must be clear that such an action may affect the overall situation! ”
In the face of Zhou Enlai's somewhat serious inquiry, He Zhengdao did not hesitate to say: "Vice Chairman Zhou, there is naturally a basis for making such a judgment. At least I think that the future situation of the Soviet Union is only afraid and not optimistic.
If you have paid attention to some foreign reports some time ago, I believe you should have heard that at the just-concluded summit meeting of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, the Sudetenland and other regions were forcibly ceded to Germany without a representative of Czechoslovakia.
Such a concession would only intensify the ambitions of Germany, which was already ready for all-out war. It can even be expected that once Germany launches an all-out war, the Soviet Union's future focus will also be on the European side.
As for the Far East, for the sake of their own security and interests, they will definitely reach an agreement with Japan, that is, each fighting each other and not encroaching on each other. Once this situation is formed, we will be very passive when we act then. ”
Such a reason also sounded reasonable to the three of them. But Zhou Enlai was somewhat curious, and he knew very little about the situation abroad in Chongqing. How did He Zhengdao know about these things that were happening abroad? (To be continued.) )
