Chapter 232: Are You Willing?

As the first year-end work report meeting of the Northeast Field Army, He Zhengdao decided at the beginning of the meeting to recall all the military and political chiefs at the level of the East Field Division to the rear headquarters for a meeting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is also a rare gathering.

One of the most important reasons is that the commanders of the former Anti-Japanese Federation who have been fighting behind enemy lines in the northeast have also come to the meeting. As Dongye advanced to the border area of the three provinces, He Zhengdao felt that they should be allowed to return to Guannai once.

In addition to attending this meeting, He Zhengdao also hoped that these commanders of the Anti-Japanese Federation, who had been fighting outside the customs for many years, would go to Yan'an to report on their work. In doing so, I also hope to give them the opportunity to get in touch with the leaders of Yan'an.

Since receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, several commanders of the Anti-Japanese Federation, who have been leading troops to fight outside the Guan, have been very happy. They naturally felt very excited and happy to have the opportunity to get in touch with the leaders of the Central Committee.

Although earlier, they had made contact with the central government in the Guannai. However, the distance from outside the customs to Yan'an was too long, and most of the command personnel remained behind enemy lines, except for a group of personnel who were transferred back to work in the central government.

Now, with the completion of the reorganization of the third column and the directly subordinate column, as well as the fifth column in the future, He Zhengdao feels that this is also a rare opportunity. Let them come to the liberated areas to have a look, and it will also be convenient for them to see the actual situation in the liberated areas.

Let these commanders, who have been fighting behind enemy lines for many years, know that their years of waiting and fighting have not been in vain. Today's Eighth Route Army is much stronger than in the previous Red Army period. This also helps to boost their confidence.

Although they had not yet gone to Yan'an, they were shocked by the situation in the liberated areas when they came to the Dongye headquarters. In the past few days, they have been chatting in Yulin City, and they also feel that this place is no worse than some big cities outside the Guan.

Lively street markets, noisy shopping streets, and bustling streets. This is a situation that they simply cannot see in the rear. It can also be seen from this that the development of the liberated areas can also be described as changing with each passing day.

Participating in the meeting of Dongye for the first time, everyone was somewhat unfamiliar with the commanders of other columns in Dongye. But after arriving in Yulin, political commissar Chen Yun was also very careful and introduced the commanders of other columns for them.

In any case, they also belong to the same force in Higashino, and they will also have many opportunities to cooperate in combat in the future. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to deepen communication and liaison between the two units will also help to understand each other in the future.

And He Zhengdao, who returned to the headquarters, said very formally before the meeting: "Comrades, today is the first division-level cadre meeting since the establishment of our Dongye. What is even more rare is that the comrades of the fourth and fifth columns also came.

I've heard the commissar say that you're familiar with each other. But I would like to make a special mention of a few comrades who have come to the meeting today. They have been fighting for longer than all of us.

Before the meeting begins, I hope that the comrades will welcome Comrade Yang Jingyu and others with warm applause. From now on, everyone is also a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, and we will take advantage of this rare opportunity to communicate more.

Starting next year, we will officially start the campaign to attack the hinterland of the northeast. With regard to the situation in the three eastern provinces, I believe that Comrade Jing Yu and others know better about the situation outside the border than we do.

Therefore, take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn more from them. In next year's operations, I am afraid that some battles will only involve two columns, or even three columns fighting together. It is good to be more familiar with communication! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

A group of military and political chiefs attending the meeting, under the call of He Zhengdao, also gave warm applause to Yang Jingyu and others. Enjoying this applause that seemed to be a little late, Yang Jingyu and others were also very moved in their hearts.

Even for many of them, when they were isolated behind enemy lines, they also had times when they regretted and were sad. But now, they feel that it was all worth it, and so many people remember their exploits.

Yang Jingyu, as the commander of the Fourth Column, got up at the signal of He Zhengdao and said: "Commander, everyone is a revolutionary comrade, but the division of duties is different. Although we are suffering behind enemy lines, it is not easy for you either.

As for the situation outside the border, in fact, we don't know much about it over the years. If you really want to say that you know more, it is also a soldier from the northeast of our army. They have a better understanding of what the people in the Northeast say about us today. ”

'Comrade Jingyu, then tell me what the people think of our Eighth Route Army today? ’

As a political commissar, Chen Yun is also aware of the people's evaluation of a unit, and can also determine whether these people support the army. Knowing more about the situation will also help the Eighth Route Army to advance into the northeast in the future.

In the face of Chen Yun's inquiry, He Zhengdao and everyone were very interested, and Yang Jingyu also said directly: "Okay, let me briefly say that we have collected some information in various guerrilla areas.

Compared with previous years, when our Anti-Japanese Federation was fighting in the northeast, the Kwantung Army imposed a cruel and strict blockade on our Anti-Japanese Federation. Some of the people who supported us also suffered because of this, and were slaughtered or persecuted a lot by little devils and puppet soldiers.

Even in order to block the guerrilla zone of our anti-Japanese alliance, the Kwantung Army created many no-man's lands and deprived us of supply grounds. If it weren't for the commander who sent someone at that time, I'm afraid that many of our troops would not be able to hold out now.

If it was a few years ago, many people thought that we couldn't beat the little devils, even if they supported or sympathized with us in their hearts to resist Japan. But they didn't dare to contact us at all, for fear of incurring the crazy revenge of the little devils.

Fortunately, with our many victories in North China, and now we have entered Shanhaiguan. Even if the little devils have blocked these news, the people have spread these news very quickly.

At present, in our base areas and guerrilla areas of the four verticals, in addition to the common people supporting our war of resistance, some squires with small status are also willing to cooperate with our work. All of this is because we have become stronger.

It's just that at present, the strength and control of the Kwantung Army are still tight, but the support of the private people for us is also gradually strengthened. Many people began to support our conscription and the establishment of fortress villages.

Especially when our troops hit outside Mukden City earlier, the people of Mukden Province were also very excited. Many people feel that we should soon be able to enter Mukden and truly remove the oppression and domination of the little devils over them.

As a matter of fact, our Fourth Column has asked for war many times, first, because the officers and men of the unit hope to fight a few battles to strengthen their prestige, and secondly, they also want to tell the people that we are sincerely fighting the war of resistance. So, I hope that next year the commander will give us more combat orders! ”

Listening to Yang Jingyu still can't forget to ask for war in the end, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "It seems that you still think that I have not allowed you to participate in the war, do you think that your strength is not good?" If so, I have this worry.

Don't look at your four columns are strong now, but you are in the core area behind enemy lines. Once your strength is exposed, if the Kwantung Army really wants to carry out forcible suppression. How long do you think you can hold out with just one column?

However, I am also the one who leads the troops, and I know that the soldiers of the troops are eager to go to the battlefield to fight devils. But I must tell you that from the beginning of the formation of the Four Columns, I will come in handy. Your current strength is actually not enough! ”

After these words were spoken, although the division-level commanders of the Fourth Column were somewhat surprised. But Yang Jingyu still asked: "Commander, will we still focus on developing the combat effectiveness of the troops next year?" ”

Of course not! Now our forward troops have reached the Jinzhou area, and the next step is to advance to the Dandong area. When the time comes, your column will cooperate with the three columns to complete the recovery operation in Mukden.

In addition, your four columns also have a very important mission, that is, to completely block the escape channel of the Kwantung Army. And I still have one hope for the Four Verticals, that is, I hope that you will be able to advance into the Korean War in the future.

To do this, you still think that with your current strength, you can accomplish these combat goals, right? Most importantly, once you block the Kwantung Army's escape route, you can imagine how crazy the Kwantung Army will be then! ’

Accompanied by He Zhengdao's expectations for the four columns, not to mention Yang Jingyu, the commanders of the four columns, were stunned. Even the military and political chiefs of the East Field who attended the meeting today also felt that this goal was too big.

Perhaps seeing everyone's surprise, He Zhengdao smiled and said, "What? Do you think I'm too ambitious to set this goal? But do you think that if you put the little devils in the court, they will stop their aggression against us?

What's more, from the time when the independent column was formed, I said a word. Just drive the little devils out of the country, that is not a real victory. The real victory is when we set foot in Tokyo and judge the little devil emperor.

To do that, I know it's difficult. But we have only been a few years since the Long March, and we have achieved what we are now. Give us a little more time, why don't we dare to attack the main island of Hiba?

The little devils have been burning, killing and looting in our China for many years, are you willing to let you go, willing to forget these things they have done to us? The so-called national war, then they must be completely defeated! ”

When they set foot in Tokyo and heard the ultimate combat goal of He Zhengdao again, everyone felt that the commander's ambition and courage were far greater than they imagined. But it has to be said that this is the desire of every Chinese soldier.

Just as He Zhengdao said, the little devil has plagued China for so many years. If they were just kicked out of the country, they would feel a little unwilling. But how difficult is it to attack the territory of the Japanese bowl?

After all, the Eighth Route Army is now the strongest, and the Air Force is just improving. If you want to attack the main island of Hiba, you will need the help of the navy. But now, the navy of the Eighth Route Army is completely zero!
