Like leaving the 117th Division the previous time, He Zhengdao, who stayed in the 129th Division for two days, had a meeting with the division leaders of the 129th Division and promised to transfer backbone personnel from the Yulin Arsenal to form the Huangya Ordnance Branch.

Even at this moment, the county and Licheng areas are being involved in the retaliatory clean-up operations carried out by the Japanese army. The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was naturally not to be outdone, and the two troops that were originally facing each other also launched a series of battles here.

As a guest, He Zhengdao also felt that he was almost ready to go on the road. After solving the invading Sakura special attack team, the regular troops currently dispatched by the Japanese army, he believes that the 129th Division will be able to deal with it properly.

If they continue to stay here, they will undoubtedly make the leaders of the 129th Division have to be distracted to take care of themselves. Taking this opportunity to leave can also save a lot of trouble. In this regard, Liu Bocheng and others did not retain too much.

In the words of Political Commissar Deng: "Division commander, let's not keep it. At this time, our bridegroom should be like an arrow. Let him go back early, and have a chance to reunite with his wife! ”

In a word, He Zhengdao was really a little speechless. In fact, after entering Shanxi from Shexian County, He Zhengdao would still go to some places mastered by the Eighth Route Army, and finally enter the core control area of the Eighth Route Army.

Say goodbye to the division leaders of the 129th Division and make an appointment to meet again in Yan'an. He Zhengdao embarked on the road back to Yan'an with the saber of the reduced number again, and the guard battalion followed behind him.

Although the boundary of Licheng was in a state of war, for He Zhengdao and his party, there was no problem at all. Even the little devil who bumped into He Zhengdao and his party could only consider himself unlucky and was wiped out.

On the other hand, many guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the way have gained a lot of benefits. They don't need to kill the enemy, they just need to clean up the battlefield. Naturally, all the weapons and ammunition that were kept in the fighting were handed over to the nearby guerrillas.

After entering the Changzhi area, He Zhengdao also summoned the Third Regiment of the Reconnaissance Brigade that had come to Changzhi to fight behind enemy lines. This regiment is still active in the Changzhi area, but the management is currently under the responsibility of the 129th Division.

Such a decision was made in consideration of the complexity of the situation in the Changzhi region. There is an independent column and a reconnaissance regiment here, and neither the little devils nor the Jin Sui army dare to act rashly at will.

Even if Liu Bocheng wanted to recruit this reconnaissance group under his command, he also knew that He Zhengdao would not let people go easily. After all, this reconnaissance regiment is also the backbone of the future expansion of the army for the independent column!

Even when summoning the commander of the reconnaissance regiment, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "From now on, your three regiments must be ready to evacuate Changzhi at any time." The developed guerrillas were also handed over to the 129th Division at that time.

The specific situation will need to wait for me to return to Yan'an to consult the central government and the headquarters before deciding. But after listening to your report, I think that if your regiment withdraws to Yulin, it can form an independent combat brigade.

Of course, if you still want to return to the reconnaissance brigade, you can also bring it up then. In short, your four reconnaissance regiments will all face expansion in the future. The 1st and 2nd Divisions were to remain on the Xinyang side, and the reconnaissance brigade had to be expanded in a planned manner.

At least I hope that after the expansion of the four regiments of the reconnaissance brigade, it will be able to meet the shortage of at least two main divisions. In this way, whether it is to attack the Japanese army in Shanxi in the next step, or to march into the northeast in the future, the strength can cope with some major battles. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, the commander of the third regiment also said in a timely manner: "Commander, if our brigade is going to be expanded next, I plan to bring the troops that are now developed with me." Those soldiers are very good!

If we were to fight Taiyuan, most of the soldiers that our regiment is recruiting now will be familiar with the situation around Shanxi. If they knew that we were going to start recovering Taiyuan, I am afraid that they would also be very happy. ”

In fact, after the Third Reconnaissance Regiment was stationed in Changzhi, He Zhengdao had always asked them to pay attention to the situation of the Japanese army in Taiyuan. In addition, some reconnaissance personnel were arranged to enter Taiyuan City to conduct intelligence reconnaissance.

It's just that because the strength of the Jin Sui army was still there, He Zhengdao felt that the time was not yet ripe to recover Taiyuan. And now, the Jin Sui army was almost forgotten by Lao Chiang, and the troops were either reorganized or disbanded on the spot.

It can be said that today's Jin Suijun almost exists in name only. The Eighth Route Army developed rapidly in Shanxi and was supported by many Shanxi people. Even if the Eighth Route Army recovers the entire territory of Shanxi, I believe that the common people will also be happy to see it.

Once the Eighth Route Army can recover Shanxi and Henan, then the Eighth Route Army will truly rise in the north. Sitting on the land of three provinces may increase the burden of the Eighth Route Army. But for the development of the Eighth Route Army, it is also extremely important.

In some cases, He Zhengdao is still willing to talk to these subordinates. However, the battle to recover Taiyuan ultimately depends on the decision of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters. After all, there are actually not many Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi today.

Once the campaign to recover Taiyuan City is launched, it is believed that the Japanese army in North China will also pour out. Such a battle can also be said to affect the whole body. If you don't make some careful deployment, you can't do it.

After leaving Changzhi, He Zhengdao did not let the reconnaissance group escort him, nor did he go to Linfen, which was controlled by the Jin Sui army, and directly entered the Luliang area from Changzhi. This place is already the core control area of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils do not dare to attack it easily.

To be precise, almost all of the cities occupied by the little devils in Shanxi are stationed around Taiyuan City. The rest of the cities in the northwest have become the core control areas of the Eighth Route Army.

The two main divisions that were stationed in these areas at the beginning were now secretly mobilized by the headquarters to the Henan border. The two newly expanded divisions, after the transfer of defense, also looked for those little devils from time to time to temper the troops.

But even the newly expanded main division feels extremely tricky for the little devils stationed in Shanxi. After all, the strength of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Shanxi is now much more than that of the little devils.

If it weren't for Itagaki Seishiro's good command level, I'm afraid that Shanxi would not be as calm as it is now. Itagaki Seishiro also knew that at the moment, he couldn't provoke the Eighth Route Army too much, so he just kept this confrontation situation.

Once the encirclement and suppression fail, it will also affect their overall defense in Shanxi. At this time, if there are any more heavy casualties among the troops, the North China Front is only afraid of being temporary, and there is no way to replenish him with any new troops.

There are areas where Japanese troops are stationed in the whole of North China, and there is basically a need for additional troops everywhere. However, the problem is that the Central China Front, which is progressing relatively smoothly, also asks the military department to send more troops to them.

Considering that the Central China Front is opening up new occupied areas, the Japanese War Department will also give priority to the Central China Front in terms of recruiting new soldiers. It was precisely this kind of consideration that made the life of the North China Front really not easy.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which fought more and more bravely behind enemy lines and built more and more guerrilla areas in its base areas, has done an impressive job in expanding its strength and strength after gaining the support of the people in the occupied areas. This contrast was what worried the Japanese army in North China the most.

Even if the War Department knew about this situation, it would not be able to mobilize heavy troops to fight in North China for a while. What they could do was to order the North China Front Army to maintain the existing occupied area and prevent the Eighth Route Army from wantonly expanding.

Although the idea was good, the troops of the Eighth Route Army fought more and more, and the troops of the North China Front Army fought fewer and less. Gradually, some counties with few resources in the marginal areas could only give up in North China.

And these abandoned county towns naturally became the base of the Eighth Route Army. In addition to the formation of democratic governments, the resettlement of people who had fled from the occupied areas in these counties has sharply reduced the number of people who can be exploited by the little devils.

Regarding the overall situation in North China, He Zhengdao naturally also has some concerns. In his opinion, if he wants to recover the entire territory of Shanxi, or advance to the northeast in the future, it is estimated that only those old troops left in Yulin will not be enough.

Fortunately, during this period, He Zhengdao also paid attention to the expansion of the troops in the Suimeng Military Region. Both the cavalry units and the armored units that are organizing training are making very good progress.

If you enter the northeast to fight, the cavalry unit can still play a big role. In the future, if He Zhengdao enters the Northeast, the most likely route to take is the relatively sparsely populated Mongolian border area.

From Luliang to Yanchuan, He Zhengdao, who went around a big circle, also officially entered the boundary of Yan'an. After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, the **** who was preparing for the military and political meeting at the Central Committee also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But what is more looking forward to seeing He Zhengdao's return than *** is naturally Chen Siya, who is preparing to be a bride. When she heard the correspondent sent by *** and told He Zhengdao that he would return to Yan'an in two days at most, she was also overjoyed.

During this time, because He Zhengdao has not yet returned, the cave assigned to He Zhengdao by the central government is also Chen Siya who is in charge of dressing up. Even if such a new house seems a little shabby, Chen Siya feels very happy.

Two days later, Chen Siya, who couldn't hold back her inner thoughts, stood at the intersection of the central station early in the morning and waited. The officers and men of the guard division who were in charge of the garrison were amused in their hearts, but also helped them wait together.

It wasn't until the saber special combat team escorting He Zhengdao appeared at the intersection at the bottom of the mountain that a soldier from the guard division stepped forward and said, "Reporter Chen, Commander He and his entourage have arrived at the bottom of the mountain." Would you like to go and greet it? ”

'He's arrived?' ’

'Yes! We had just received news from the bottom of the mountain that the guards escorting him had arrived ahead of schedule. ’

As soon as she heard this, Chen Siya naturally hurriedly ran to the intersection of the mountain. The saber, who was still on guard, saw Chen Siya trotting down from the mountain, and also knew who this bride-to-be was coming to pick up.

Someone else went to the back and reported: "Commander, sister-in-law has come to pick you up!" ”

Even if the two are not married, in the hearts of the saber special combat members, Chen Siya is undoubtedly He Zhengdao's wife. He Zhengdao, who heard this report, looked at Chen Siya who ran down from the mountain to greet him, and he still felt very moved in his heart.

Traveling to this time and space, it is not a kind of luck to be able to find such a woman who truly loves herself! (To be continued.) )
