After receiving the telegram and suggestion sent back by He Zhengdao, Mr. Zhu and others, who were in command of Yan'an, also knew that after the 11th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, the troops under He Zhengdao really did not need to be as nervous as before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At least judging from the current situation, even if the Kwantung Army wants to gather large forces to carry out a counteroffensive, it will also take a certain amount of time. If He Zhengdao can send troops to attack the Japanese army of the North China Front, it will also be beneficial for his attack on the northeast.

If you want to fight from inside the gate to outside the gate, He Zhengdao also needs a broad and stable rear. If they can recover the two provinces of Rehe and Chahar, it will also be of great benefit to them to advance into the northeast to fight.

Therefore, earlier Taizu suggested that He Zhengdao send a few troops to feint to attack Beiping, which was actually to contain the North China Front. Let the troops under his command not dare to be easily put outside, and more of them will be compressed back to the vicinity of Beiping.

As long as this goal is achieved, then He Zhengdao will recover the territory of Rehe, and even fight to the Chengde area. I am afraid that the North China Front can only sigh at it. After all, it is difficult for the Japanese army to hold North China at the moment, let alone a counteroffensive?

With the telegram sent back by He Zhengdao, Mr. Zhu looked at Taizu and Zhou Enlai and said, "Since that kid agrees with our idea, then I will go and give the battle order." If it is this battle, it would be great to recover Shijiazhuang! ”

According to the battle plan formulated by the Eighth Route Army a year ago, this year, the Eighth Route Army is still mainly focused on recovering the lost territory in North China, and is constantly compressing and encroaching on the occupied areas of the North China Front. And strive to do so, to block the contact between Shandong and the Japanese army in Hebei.

Once this operational goal can be accomplished, then the future situation of the Northern War of Resistance will really be completely decided by the Eighth Route Army. Even the Hebei-Jin-Lu Military Region, which is dominated by the front of 117 Xu Xiang, can also launch an operation to recover Shandong.

In the face of the opportunity that appeared now, Mr. Zhu naturally did not want to lose the troops and not get any benefits. Just as He Zhengdao said in the telegram, they also deployed the three strongest main divisions in the Shijiazhuang area!

'Yes, I have no problem! ’

Taizu, who said this very simply, was actually very satisfied with the current situation. Even if he knew that it would be a long process to drive the invading Japanese army out of China, why not do it if he could do it early?

If one more county town is recovered, there will be one less county town where the people will be bullied by little devils, and the Eighth Route Army will have one more liberated area in the county seat. As long as it advances steadily, the whole of North China and even Northeast China will become the liberated area of the Eighth Route Army in the future.

This good situation has been created, and as the head of the government and the army, Taizu also does not want to easily miss such a good opportunity. On the contrary, he was a little worried that the foundation of the Eighth Route Army could not keep up with the development.

I have to say that even if a large number of military and political schools were opened in Yan'an. However, as a group of young cadres were assigned to various localities, Taizu still felt that there were too few talents available to stabilize the local situation in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, steadily promoting stable development is also the most suitable development policy for them. At present, since the Japanese army has let go and wants to fight the Eighth Route Army, then Taizu will naturally not let go, this rare opportunity to annihilate the Japanese army.

The Japanese army wanted to inflict heavy losses on the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so why didn't the Eighth Route Army want to destroy some more Japanese troops in North China?

Even when the meeting was almost over, Taizu thought for a while and said, "Boss, at this time, I think we can transfer the guard division out and let them go to the battlefield to test their combat effectiveness." What do you think? ”

'Bring the guard division over?' What about the safety of Yan'an? ’

Except for the air defense units that are not transferred out and the retention of a unit of security personnel in the station, the rest of the troops are also idle, so it is better to let them go to the front line to participate in the battle and exercise! Didn't that kid say that he wanted to train the troops in rotation?

For a long time, the selection of guard divisions has been extremely strict, but their combat effectiveness is still slightly insufficient compared with special divisions. I didn't understand it before, but now I can almost confirm that it's because the guard division has not been tested in actual combat.

This is like steelmaking, the previous processes are almost the same, but without a pure fire process, it still can't make good steel. Take the regiment as a unit, let the guard division rotate, and also go to the front line to feel the atmosphere of real combat! ’

Thinking of the guard division that is currently deployed in Yan'an and has also spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to set up, Taizu is very satisfied with the work of this unit. But I always feel that it is a bit of a waste to keep such an elite in Yan'an.

At present, the number of veterans of the main forces is not large, and most of the expanded troops are new recruits. In contrast, the Guard Division is an entirely veteran unit, and it is somewhat inappropriate to put it here like this.

If you don't put a little pressure on the guard division, don't let them feel the cruelty of war. After a long time, Taizu felt that no matter how elite the troops were, they would become ineffective. What's more, the guard division has also been thinking about going to the battlefield!

Facing Taizu's suggestion, Zhou Enlai on the side said with a smile: "Chairman, that guy Chen Geng asked you to fight again, right?" ”

As one of the ten main divisions after the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army, the Guard Division has always been regarded as the Praetorian Guard. But this Praetorian Guard did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, which made Chen Geng and the officers and soldiers of the guard division feel a little regretful.

In their opinion, compared with the continuous expansion of other main divisions, the guard division still maintains its previous strength. In addition to the annual selection of military backbones in each division to replenish them, there really hasn't been much progress and development.

Listening to Zhou Enlai's inquiry, Taizu also smiled and said: "That kid is also a belligerent, let him stay here every day to accompany us, and it will be a bit of a waste of his command talent after a long time."

The most important thing is that at present, the guard division, like the special division, is one of the two division-level units that have been redressed in the whole army. I believe that in the future, if we want to carry out the change of equipment in the whole army, we should also test the armament of the troops and the combat mode of the new weapons.

At this time, the transfer of a main regiment from the guard division will not affect their daily defense duties, but will also add a new force to the front-line troops. Why don't we do a good thing that kills two birds with one stone? ”

With the new rifles produced by the arsenal already equipped with two combat units, the other main divisions naturally seem to be a little envious. It's just that taking into account the limited production capacity, none of these rifles have yet been massively distributed to the troops.

As the person in charge of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army, Taizu also knew that he could not favor one over the other. At present, the combat effectiveness of the special division, which has been replaced with new weapons, is undoubtedly the strongest in the whole army. And the guard division, can it do this?

The best way to know whether these weapons can improve the strength of combat units is to send them to the battlefield for testing. The appearance of the guard division is bound to give other units an opportunity to learn from the nearest reference.

In this way, when the headquarters begins to distribute weapons to combat units in the future, it will also reduce the time for troops to adapt to new weapons. Regarding Taizu's consideration, Mr. Zhu thought about it and quickly agreed.

Mr. Zhu, who personally went to the guard division to give the combat order, looked at the commander of the guard division with a happy face, but said very seriously: "Chen Geng, others say that your division is the Praetorian Guard of our Eighth Route Army, so you have to play the momentum of the Praetorian Guard Division."

This time, the chairman suggested that a main force regiment be transferred from your division to the North China battlefield to participate in the war, and I hope that you can cooperate well with the combat troops on the front line. It is also very important to ensure that your weapons are not captured by the enemy.

At this point, Xiao He did a good job. I also hope that you will emphasize this point when you send troops to fight. If something goes wrong with your new weapon, don't blame me for disposing of you. ”

'Rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, we will guarantee that the man is in the weapon!' ’

Chen Geng, who also has a very good relationship with He Zhengdao, also learned more from He Zhengdao about the discipline of weapon storage. At least for now, there have been no cases of weapons being lost.

With Mr. Zhu personally conveying the order to participate in the battle, the four main regiments of the guard division were naturally eager to try. Although it is safer to stay in Yan'an, there is even a chance to contact the heads of the Central Committee and the headquarters.

But as soldiers, they all want to 'gain fame immediately' in order to obtain real combat functions and get promoted. If you stay in the rear, it will be very difficult to get promoted.

At least many officers and men of the guard division know that those officers and men who have been transferred from the guard division have been promoted to other main combat units. As a soldier, who doesn't want to be in a higher position?

On the other hand, the three main division commanders who were on the front line in Shijiazhuang at the moment received a telegram from the headquarters, and Mr. He was also surprised: "No! There are three of our divisions here to deal with the little devils, and the central government also sent the guard division to participate in the battle? ”

In Mr. He's opinion, the troops assembled by their three main divisions near Shijiazhuang have reached nearly 100,000. Compared with the troops that the Japanese army has been accumulating one after another, it also has an absolute advantage, and it does not need any reinforcements.

But Division Commander Lin, who was soon standing aside, said: "At this time, the guard division was sent over, I think the headquarters also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the guard division!" Speaking of which, the time for the guard division to change to new weapons is not short, right? ”

Speaking of the new weapons produced by the arsenal, Division Commander Lin, who also tried it, also wanted to install a batch in his division. It's a pity that even though the Yulin Arsenal has a lot of weapons in stock, the headquarters has always refused to deploy troops.

The only two units that were equipped were the special division and the guard division commanded by He Zhengdao. For such a situation, it is impossible to say that there is no envy and jealousy.

After all, among the ten main division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao is the youngest but the most prosperous. This time, their 115th Division attacked the Jingjing Coal Mine, and originally thought that they could end the mission quickly.

But in the end, the coal mine was taken down by them, but the troops were entangled by a steady stream of little devils. On the other hand, He Zhengdao, who started the first battle this year, seemed to have recovered the Xilin Dunle League very easily.

Compared with the two, the Central Committee and the headquarters are particularly close to He Zhengdao, and they really can't say anything. Who told He Zhengdao that every time he fought, he could achieve a huge victory and bring a lot of benefits to the Eighth Route Army? (To be continued.) )
