Chapter 226: Need to Work Harder!
As the war situation in various places gradually stabilized, it was also time to summarize the work of the year. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info commanders of the corps, who have been busy and hard in various combat units for a year, have also returned to Yan'an one after another to prepare to participate in the military and political summary meeting.
The military and political leaders of Dongye, who returned a few days later than He Zhengdao, gave gifts to He Zhengdao's children as soon as they arrived in Yan'an. For these people's gifts, He Zhengdao did not refuse too much.
This kind of thing is also avoided in Huaxia. And the people who know He Zhengdao's character are not too expensive in the choice of gifts. Most of them are common gifts, and the cost is naturally not much.
held a full moon banquet at the Yan'an Guest House, and He Zhengdao's schedule in Yan'an has become much busier. As a new alternate member of the Central Committee, plus a standing member of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao must attend the military and political conference.
In fact, many of the people who have returned to Yan'an for the meeting now, like He Zhengdao, have positions in both military and political teams. It's just that committee members like He Zhengdao have more emphasis on military affairs.
With regard to the various military and political developments of the Eighth Route Army this year, the head of state, on behalf of the Central Committee, also made a year-end work report. On behalf of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu made a report on the military struggle to the delegates.
In general, this kind of year-end summary meeting, He Zhengdao only needs to bring a pen and a notebook. In many cases, it is only necessary to record and listen, and it is not his turn to speak on stage for the time being.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity for everyone to get together, He Zhengdao also met with these military and political leaders who are rarely seen in ordinary times. During this time, He Zhengdao's cave was also the most visited place by everyone.
It can also be seen from this that He Zhengdao's connections and relationship with everyone are also very good. And He Zhengdao, who is also the head of the Arsenal Department, is naturally the object of the most visits.
Although the weapons issued by the arsenal are mostly subject to the approval of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters. However, He Zhengdao also has a great deal of right to make suggestions on the matter of installing some new weapons in the troops, and he can also reap some benefits by chatting with him more.
As the secretary of the North China Bureau and the commander of the Corps, Mr. Liu also introduced some things about Beiping to He Zhengdao. At the same time, in the name of the secretary of the North China Bureau, he proposed some assistance to He Zhengdao.
Now the Northeast Field Army in charge of the North China Bureau and He Zhengdao can also be described as neighboring friendly troops. In order to maintain private contacts and cooperation between the two sides, the two also held many talks, hoping to do a good job in military and political work in North China.
When talking about the issue of air defense in Beiping, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Boss, I have talked with the head of state and the boss about sending flight officers to Beiping. Sending an air brigade over, I don't think there is a problem.
It's just that limited to the current shortage of aviation fuel in our air, after the aviation brigade has passed, it is more used for defensive counterattacks than for active offense. There is an aviation brigade to defend the skies over Beiping, and I believe that the little devils will not be able to bargain too much.
However, in order to ensure the safety of Beiping, I suggest that in the future, if there is time, make more preparations for air defense drills. When the purchased US fighters and bombers arrive, these planes will also be deployed in Beiping on a priority basis.
According to the expected deployment of the Führer and the Commander-in-Chief, next year your corps will need to start a campaign to recover Tianyi. At that time, the Air Force will also play a very important role. Until then, try to avoid a confrontation between the air forces of both sides. ”
Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Mr. Liu also nodded and said: "There is an aviation brigade stationed, and I believe that the Japanese army will not dare to carry out an air attack on Beiping easily." Speaking of which, the two places are too close to each other, and the little devil's fighter plane can take off from the sea, and sometimes it is impossible to prevent it.
If it weren't for the fact that our air force was caught off guard by the little devils a little devil a little time ago, I am afraid that even if we are stationed in Beiping, we will not be able to avoid being bombed by the little devils every day. If this is the case, even if Beiping is taken back, it will be blown up by the little devils.
I heard Mr. Zhu say a while ago that you plan to use the US bombers and cooperate with our fighter formation to raid the warships of the Little Devil Navy. Do you think this tactic can be successful? ”
'This is the only tactic we have at the moment that can counterbalance the Devil Navy, and we have no other way. According to my plan, before attacking Tianyi, we must first make sure that we have absolute air supremacy.
If this cannot be done, then Tianxin would rather not fight. Otherwise, the naval fleet, which is currently the strongest in the little devils, will take off and land planes in large numbers in the open seas and wantonly bomb our defense areas.
The boss has been in Peking for so long, and I believe that he also knows that the little devils are unscrupulous in order to achieve their strategic goals. Therefore, you suggested that the Air Force should be stationed in Beiping, and I think it is still very necessary.
It's just that at present, the strength of our air force is slightly insufficient, even if the arsenal has already produced continuously. There are only a dozen new aircraft that leave the factory every month. This pace of production has indeed somewhat delayed the development of our Air Force.
Fortunately, a large number of machinery purchased from the US military has been installed one after another, and as long as our steel production keeps up, I believe that the number of fighters produced in the future will also increase, and more air force groups will be deployed at that time.
But it will take time, so I hope the boss will be considerate. The anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns you applied for earlier have now been shipped, and I believe it will not be long before they arrive in Beiping. The air defense units will be deployed first, and then the air force will be transferred to the station. ’
More monks and less porridge is the situation He Zhengdao is facing now. There are quite a few corps that have applied for the Air Force Brigade to be stationed in the defense zone, and even Ye Xiangqian's Corps, which has a very good relationship with them, also hopes that the Air Force will be able to provide support for tomorrow's campaign to attack Shandong.
And Mr. Peng's meaning is also to hope to deploy an air force brigade in Henan. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will also be able to get help from the air force when it launches a campaign to recover some lost territory in the south next year.
But the problem now is that if the Northeast Field Army wants to conquer Mukden next year, and even launch an attack on Ji Province and Hei Province, it will also need the support of the Air Force. In such a short period of time, He Zhengdao simply could not provide so many fighters.
Even though the US military has promised to provide a batch of bombers, in terms of the procurement of fighter planes, He Zhengdao has only purchased one squadron of American fighters. Of course, the price of these fighters is very low, and it is more because the US military wants to test the performance of their fighters.
Direct confrontation with Japanese fighters is naturally not what the US military wants to see. Now selling the fighters to the side of the Eighth Route Army, although they don't make much money, they can also use this to judge the performance of their fighters.
As for the cooperation of the Eagle fighters, the Eighth Route Army has also reached an agreement with the US military. On the side of the Eighth Route Army, a prototype will be provided to the US military. Of course, the engine of the prototype was, of course, also castrated.
According to the operational arrangements reached at the year-end meeting, the order of air force deployment next year will be Beiping first, then Dongye, and finally the Shandong Corps. The reason for this is also because Beiping is too important to be bombed on a large scale.
It was only after some discussion that He Zhengdao finally decided to transfer the air force brigade currently deployed in Zhangjiakou to the Chengde Airport under construction for temporary emergency. In this way, Beiping and Shandong can also complete the deployment of the air force as soon as possible.
As for the matter of armored forces, the head of state and Mr. Zhu both felt that it was better to give priority to replenishing the Northeast Field Army. With the help of the existing armored brigades, an armored division is formed first. At that time, it is believed that fighting in the northeast will also play an important role.
Busy discussing with the heads of the corps every day, He Zhengdao tried his best to agree to what he could, and if he really couldn't agree, He Zhengdao also made the situation clear. In the final analysis, today's arsenal production capacity still can't keep up with the speed of development of the troops.
Fortunately, the arsenals established in Taihang Mountain, Dabie Mountain and southern Anhui have been put on track one after another, and the Eighth Route Army has been rapidly improved and developed in the manufacture of light weapons.
As for the arsenal managed by Ho Zhengdao, it is currently more responsible for the research and development and production of heavy weapons and large-scale combat equipment. Taking advantage of this period of time, the situation in various places has stabilized, and He Zhengdao has also added many new machinery and equipment to various arsenals.
A group of politically qualified and excellent technicians will also be supplemented to each branch with these equipment. At least He Zhengdao believes that next year, the Eighth Route Army will also make great progress in military production.
It can be said that by virtue of his position in managing military factories, He Zhengdao's importance in the hearts of the commanders of various corps has also increased a lot. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the most suitable manager on the side of the Eighth Route Army is only He Zhengdao.
The way of the military factory from scratch can be said to be managed by He Zhengdao. Even if some people are jealous of this errand, the head of state and Mr. Zhu still insist that this position cannot be changed to others, and He Zhengdao must be in charge of it.
In this meeting, many participants proposed that the central government and the headquarters could be relocated. Compared with some of the cities that have been recovered today, the conditions in Yan'an seem to be a little backward and too remote.
But after some discussion with the delegates, He Zhengdao still gave his own suggestion, that is, to postpone the relocation. Wait until the Eighth Route Army really controls the situation in the north and has the strength to balance the little devil air force before considering relocation.
Even according to He Zhengdao's suggestion, it is more appropriate to relocate to Beiping City in the future. But as far as the current situation is concerned, moving to Peking or other places seems to be a bit rushed.
Although Yan'an is a little far away from all departments, this distance is also beneficial. At least for the Japanese air force, if they want to carry out the bombing of Yan'an, they must also consider the blocking and interception of the air force of the Eighth Route Army.
After some analysis and debate, this proposal was also put on hold for the time being. This also means that on the day the Eighth Route Army relocates to Beiping in the future, it may realize that the Eighth Route Army has really risen and is no longer afraid of all kinds of provocations and attacks by little devils.
To do this, I think the Eighth Route Army also needs to have stronger strength and the liberated areas. Therefore, after the meeting lasted for several days, the responsible persons of the various corps who came to the meeting felt that they needed to work harder to accomplish the task of liberating the whole country.
