Chapter 572: The Intention of Visiting the County!
As the location of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region earlier, the special geographical location of Dabie Mountain has also made it a battleground for soldiers of all dynasties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And this time, the blocking battle in the fifth war zone is also more set up in some throat areas of Dabie Mountain.
This time, the new 67th Army was ordered to go south to participate in the war, and in addition to cooperating with the Central Army, the real plan was to rebuild the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet region. Continue to use the Dabie Mountains as a base to expand the actual influence and control of the Eighth Route Army in the three provinces.
Under the current circumstances, it is undoubtedly more difficult to accomplish such an operational layout and vision than in the early years. The complicated situation made He Zhengdao decide on the guidelines and policies of low-key development before coming here.
After the Battle of Xuzhou ended earlier, many Central Army troops who had retreated from the Xuzhou battlefield were stationed near Dabie Mountain one after another. And the Second Army's attack on Dabie Mountain this time also made the situation here more complicated.
In this year of war, it is the local people who really suffer. The fall of most of Anhui and Henan also exacerbated the chaos in the Dabie Mountain area. Many people who wanted to survive eventually embarked on the road of becoming bandits in the mountains.
The intensification of banditry naturally led to many problems in the public order situation on the spot. These bandits may not dare to go to trouble the anti-war forces, but they have extended their evil hands to the ordinary people living around Dabie Mountain.
Although many bandits know that a large number of Central Army troops are currently stationed in various counties. But there are also many bandits who will take risks to rob the troops transporting supplies. After making a fortune, they often flee to the mountains and forests to avoid pursuit.
In response to such a situation, the Fifth Theater has also dispatched quite a number of troops to carry out the task of suppressing bandits. Compared with these bandits who are familiar with the terrain, many Central Army units stationed in the local area often have the heart but are powerless to do this kind of thing.
After all, many bandits committed crimes in the Dabie Mountains near Henan, and fled to Hubei to escape. The unique geographical location has also made it much more difficult to clear out the bandits here.
With the arrival of the advance team of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao, who learned of this situation, immediately merged the task of suppressing bandits with the task of forming a base area. Through the suppression of bandits, they can gain the recognition and trust of the local people.
As long as he can gain the recognition and support of the local people, and does not touch those counties controlled by the central army, He Zhengdao believes that in a short period of time, no one will find trouble with the guerrillas.
This time, in order to resolve the ideological baggage of some fighters in the advance unit, He Zhengdao made the decision to inspect the guerrilla units. Changing into a common man's clothes, He Zhengdao took the saber special combat team and a guard battalion to start the inspection work.
As for the materials seized in the previous period, they are now constantly being transferred from the guerrilla units to the base areas of the guerrilla brigades in the Dabie Mountains. The guerrilla brigades were very happy with the supplies they had allocated.
Along with these supplies came combat units diverted from the main forces. The arrival of these units also strengthened the guerrillas' ability to suppress bandits. But these troops will still return to the main force in the future.
When the training of recruits in the army is completed, He Zhengdao will expand the recruit units of the army, select some officers and men with strong political ideology, and add them to the guerrilla units one after another, and rotate them with these veterans.
In this way, after each rotation, the overall strength of the troops in the Dabie Mountain area is actually accelerating the improvement. When these guerrilla brigades are qualified to be awarded to regimental units, it will not be a problem to form the Central China Military Region.
As far as the current situation is concerned, in every county town in the Dabie Mountains, He Zhengdao has formed a guerrilla brigade. The brigade commanders and the backbone of the guerrillas are all military backbones and outstanding political cadres who have been carefully selected from the troops.
Before their formation, most of these guerrilla brigades were only about the size of a reinforced platoon. But even so, when they arrived in the area where they were responsible for forming a guerrilla brigade, they quickly found a place to establish a rear base.
Some reconnaissance units set up outposts in advance, and the inspection by He Zhengdao and his entourage also did not alarm these guerrilla brigades, let alone the local local government. Everything was in accordance with He Zhengdao's requirements, and the inspection was carried out in a low-key manner.
When he arrived in Huang'an City, looking at this small county town that was later renamed Hong'an, He Zhengdao also felt a feeling of traveling across time and space. This general's county, which became famous throughout the country in later generations, gave birth to many founding generals after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Although the current control here is still the troops of the Central Army. But He Zhengdao, who arrived here, thought for a while and said, "Xu Hao, you come with me into the city for a walk." It's rare to come here, I want to take a good look at this Huang'an City. ”
Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Xu Hao, the leader of the saber detachment who replaced Zhu Fei, who was still recuperating from his injuries, and served as He Zhengdao's security guard, also said with some curiosity: "Young shopkeeper, what is there to visit in this kind of county?" ”
'You kid doesn't understand! Later, you will understand that this county is different. You must know that this is Dong Lao's hometown, and there are also countless comrades who have gone out from here to join our revolutionary ranks.
In the future, it will also become the core county seat for the development of our base area. If I have the chance, I will take control of this county. When we arrive at the guerrilla brigade tomorrow, we will also call the leaders of the underground party here. ’
After explaining these things to Xu Hao, there will be a corresponding liaison to arrange this matter. As for He Zhengdao, in the name of a businessman, he took Xu Hao and others into Huang'an City.
Although there were still soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city, these soldiers standing guard did not stop He Zhengdao and their arrival. Of course, the reason why he didn't stop it was that He Zhengdao had a few bodyguards with guns around him.
In these years, it is also a very dangerous thing for trading houses to do business everywhere. It is also very common to hire some dart masters to protect them. But such a trading house, ordinary city defense soldiers would not dare to stop it at will.
The soldiers standing guard checked the fake passage documents made by He Zhengdao and others, and then smiled and let the group into the city. In order to avoid trouble, He Zhengdao still asked Xu Hao, who was acting as a bodyguard, to give him a few banknotes.
Although these fiat currencies became less and less valuable after the start of the Anti-Japanese War. But for these soldiers standing guard, these fiat currencies can still buy a lot of things. Naturally, they will not refuse this kind of reward.
With these fiat currencies to buy the road, the carriage in which He Zhengdao and his party were seated was also not checked. For such a situation, He Zhengdao really didn't know what to say. It can only be said that these city guards are more used to see.
In addition to scaring the common people, with the military quality of these city defense soldiers, it is estimated that even the fiercer bandits cannot deal with it. Expecting them to guard the county seat is really a bit too high to look up to them.
But this kind of city defense soldier allowed He Zhengdao and others to enter the county seat easily. On the other hand, it will be much easier for the guerrillas to enter and leave the county seat in the future. If you want to move around in the county, you will naturally become more free.
After finding a hotel that looked relatively good, He Zhengdao asked Xu Hao to book a few rooms. In order not to be so eye-catching, He Zhengdao actually only brought a special operations team with him, and there was only a fifteen-member escort team.
As for the other guard troops, some of them had already entered the county seat, and some of them had also entered the county seat one after another after He Zhengdao entered the city. Even if He Zhengdao didn't want to be so troublesome, he also knew that his identity was destined not to be too easy and free.
Looking at the pedestrians shuttling back and forth in the county, He Zhengdao also felt that this small county town seemed to be more lively than he imagined. Some of the counties I've seen before look like they've become much more depressed.
Although the little devils haven't come here yet, the little devils entered Dabie Mountain before, which really made many people a little worried. But even if the little devil's attack is repulsed, the little devil is actually not far from Huang Ancheng at present.
It's just that according to intelligence, a battalion of the 42nd Army is currently stationed in Huang'an City. Although this kind of stationing was short-lived, the presence of this unit seemed to give the local people some sense of security.
After arranging the place for food and lodging, He Zhengdao called Xu Hao and another special combat member, and the three of them began to wander around Huang'an City. As for the other special combat personnel, they can only carry out security guards in front and behind.
Although there is nothing new to visit this kind of county town that can be seen almost everywhere in the Republic of China, He Zhengdao also looked very carefully, as if he wanted to feel the difference of this small county.
It was in this small county town that the Red Fourth Front Army, which had just been formed that year, took the capture of Huang'an as the first battle of its formation, and successfully captured it, becoming the first big victory after the formation of the Red Fourth Front Army.
Perhaps it was this victory that made this small county town emerge with groups of heroes who rushed to the revolutionary battlefield. It's just that with the strategic transfer of the Red Fourth Front Army, the Nationalist Government, which eventually took over the control of the county, also created a lot of bloody killings here.
This time, He Zhengdao came over, and the guerrilla brigade still called Hong'an on the side of the Eighth Route Army was also a guerrilla brigade that he needed to focus on. In this brigade, there were seven family members of the backbone, all of whom were executed and persecuted by the Central Army after the fact.
And the person who is currently serving as the county magistrate of Huang Ancheng is the person in charge of the liquidation task back then. It can be said that this guy's ability to become the head of a county is inseparable from the blood of the martyrs of the revolutionary army that he was stained with back then.
If such a county magistrate really wants to execute him, it is really not an easy thing to do. But He Zhengdao felt that if he could find some tricks of this county magistrate, he might be able to use the borrowed knife killing scheme to solve it.
Maybe the method is a little less transparent, but at least it is an explanation for those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. After all, according to the statistics of the guerrilla brigade, the families of the fighters who were harmed by this guy are far less than these seven people.
This means that this is a person who owes a lot of blood debts to the Eighth Route Army. If he is not executed, it will indeed be difficult to calm the anger of those soldiers and even officers who joined the Eighth Route Army from this small city.
It's just that this idea, He Zhengdao didn't say anything. But this is also the real intention of him to go to the city for a walk! (To be continued.) )
