Since the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy, which originally occupied a place in Asia, can also be said to have broken its backbone. Although the government www.biquge.info of the Republic of China was established, Huaxia still retains the naval structure, but it is almost none.

In contrast, the Japanese navy, which won the First Sino-Japanese Navy, built its navy into the strongest navy in Asia by virtue of the high war compensation given by the Qing government, and its naval strength should not be underestimated even in the world.

It was precisely this huge disparity in naval strength that made the government of the Republic of China not have any coastal defense capability in front of the Japanese army. If the large Chinese coastline is completely in the hands of the Japanese army, the sea control can also be said to be lost.

With absolute sea and air supremacy, plus a powerful army force. In the end, the Japanese army dared to make a full-scale invasion of China, trying to turn China into their colony.

Even if the current government of the Republic of China still retains the establishment of the Huaxia Navy. But everyone knows that the navy has almost existed in name only. Even European and American countries with interests in China do not dare to provoke easily in the face of a powerful little devil navy.

At present, for the Eighth Route Army, the combat effectiveness of the army is undoubtedly the most powerful. Even the Air Force is slowly accumulating strength and revival. But for the Navy, many people feel that it is too ambitious.

Everyone knows that after the establishment of the government of the Republic of China, it was not that no one thought of building a powerful naval force. But whether it is the purchase of warships or the training of the navy, it will require huge financial support to make it possible.

As far as the current situation of the Eighth Route Army is concerned, even if it is given a few ships, it may not be able to raise it. Not to mention, if you want to make the Navy combat effective, it is an impossible task. But for Ho Zhengdao, it is also possible to try to form a navy for coastal defense first.

Although He Zhengdao didn't know much about the navy, he also knew that the Chinese navy in history also grew from scratch and grew step by step. From the early days of coastal defense, he slowly set foot in deep-sea voyages.

If you have a strong land force, you can resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and you have an air force that can carry out air strikes against sea targets at any time. In time, Ho Zhengdao believes in the revival of the navy and is not a dream.

It may be difficult to be prepared to do something, but it's better than doing nothing!

When He Zhengdao was formulating the battle plan, the reconnaissance unit of the special division that had been transferred had already infiltrated the three places set as attack sites to conduct intelligence reconnaissance in accordance with He Zhengdao's order, and found out the deployment of the Japanese army's troops.

Looking at the telegrams sent one after another, Xu Mingyuan, who was the commander of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, also sighed and said: "Commander, the reconnaissance unit of the special division is indeed much stronger than the reconnaissance unit we trained!" ”

Even the political commissar Han Xianchu was a little moved and said: "Commander, can this batch of reconnaissance troops be temporarily borrowed from our column!" It's really not good, it's okay to train us a group of such elite scouts! ”

Facing the words of the two, He Zhengdao directly laughed and scolded: "You two guys, it didn't take long for the partner to pee in a pot. What's wrong? Eyeing my Scouts? If you want someone, ask Li Xiangdong first!

Scouts of special divisions, each of whom is the best of the best. A large part of these people were eliminated from the saber special combat team. Such a top-notch soldier, Mr. Lin and Mr. He both want it!

But do you know how much effort I put into training this batch of soldiers? I am afraid that it is unlikely that I will be seconded to you for use. As the elite units of the special division, they must exert their strongest combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

However, it's the first time you've asked me in such a unified voice, and you can't say anything if you don't say anything. After this battle is over, I will send a training team from the special division to train your direct guard reconnaissance unit.

As for the formation of officers and men directly under the guard reconnaissance unit, it is up to you to decide. The first batch of personnel to participate in the training should not be too many, but they must be officers and soldiers with excellent political and military qualities, and that will also be regarded as giving you some special care. ”

'Well, thank you, Commander!' If I really detain these soldiers, I'm afraid that Li Xiangdong will definitely play with me! ’

It is clear that Li Xiangdong is a henchman of He Zhengdao, and the special division he commands can also be said to be the strongest main division of the Eighth Route Army. Every officer and soldier in this division is an elite of the first class when he gets it to other units.

This time, having these people serve as reconnaissance outposts for them is also a big help for the three columns. There were these people staring at the little devil in front, and Xu Mingyuan and the others who participated in this operation also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

When the commanders and political commissars of the eighteen main regiments arrived, they looked at He Zhengdao who appeared at the headquarters, and these officers of the independent column who came out with He Zhengdao back then also looked very excited.

Listening to He Zhengdao calling out the names of some people from time to time, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, okay! When I came here, I was just a company commander, and now I am a regiment commander. Yes, there is progress! ”

Han Xianchu, who saw this scene, also really saw He Zhengdao's prestige among the grassroots troops, which was indeed beyond his imagination. But it is undeniable that He Zhengdao does have this affinity.

Just after everyone saluted and greeted Han Xianchu, the new political commissar, under the recommendation of He Zhengdao, and began to sit down one after another. He Zhengdao didn't hide anything, and quickly explained the reason why he came here.

"You people, all of you are my old subordinates, who came here with Mingyuan to fight the world. At the moment, you are doing well, and being promoted to regimental commander and political commissar shows that you are doing a good job.

But this time, I'm here for reasons you should guess. That is, I want to see you complete this reorganization with my own eyes. However, the establishment given to us by the higher authorities is only three main divisions for the time being.

This means that of your eighteen main regiments, at most only twelve main regiments have a chance to be reorganized into the main regiments of the main infantry division. Then the remaining six main regiments, you can only be reorganized into garrison troops for the time being.

Whether it is the main force or the garrison, they are all revolutionary troops. But I know that whoever demotes the main regiment to a garrison force, I am afraid that you will all feel uncomfortable in your hearts, and you will all feel wronged in your hearts.

So this time, I will give you a chance to prove yourself, and that is to talk about the war. Next, a new battle order will be announced to you, and whoever is better will be reorganized into the main regiment first.

The three main regiments that fought best, your regiment commander and political commissar, all have the opportunity to be promoted to division commander and political commissar. Of course, I can't do all of this as I say, and it ultimately depends on the opinions of the chairman and Commander-in-Chief Zhu.

But no matter which regiment wins, I hope that you will always remember the fact that you are revolutionary soldiers. Whether you join the main force or reorganize into a garrison force, you are all part of the Eighth Route Army.

A victory does not count as a victory, and a defeat does not mean complete elimination. In the future, our troops will also be reorganized one after another. As long as you know how to be brave and courageous, I believe that sooner or later you will become the commander of the main force. ’

After doing some ideological work, the main heads of regiments and political commissars who came to participate in the meeting also felt a little excited and eager to try. For the positions of the three main division commanders and division political commissars, they are actually looking forward to it.

Perhaps He Zhengdao also belongs to the outliers in the Eighth Route Army, so under He Zhengdao, as long as you have the ability to lead the troops to victory. Even if he is very young and has relatively little qualifications, he still has the opportunity to be promoted to senior commander.

Selecting and promoting talents in an eclectic manner, and those who are capable of going up or not are also principles that many officers of independent columns know!

After saying these words, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Wang Qiang, let's start reading out the battle order now!" In order to maintain fairness, wait for the eighteen main groups, and I, Lao Han and Mingyuan will draw them one by one.

When we draw that group, that group will follow the three of us. If the distance is a little far, then also take the opportunity to conduct a military training. Through this kind of troop change of defense, it will also divert the attention of the little devils and exercise the marching ability of some troops. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Wang Qiang, the new chief of staff of the Third Column, who was also born in the independent column, was also the leader of the saber special combat squadron that came to eastern Hebei with Hu Youliang that year. From a squadron leader to today's chief of staff, this promotion speed can be said to be fast enough.

But everyone knows that the chief of staff in front of him, who doesn't seem to be good at words, is a very powerful person. In addition to his very strong personal combat skills, his command and coordination abilities should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for the fact that Hu Youliang had gone to Guanwai now, I was afraid that this chief of staff would not be able to take on the role of Wang Qiang. And Hu Youliang also served as the chief of staff of the column and the brigade commander of the guard brigade directly under the reorganization of the Anti-United Nations Force.

Speaking of which, Hu Youliang's level and weight are still higher than Wang Qiang. For these old subordinates, who have now been promoted to a certain position, He Zhengdao is actually very happy and gratified.

It is precisely with the support of these old subordinates that He Zhengdao is not worried that some people sent by the Central Committee and the headquarters can really pull the troops over from him. But no one can fault the promotion of these people.

After all, these people can be promoted to their current positions, and they all have real military merits as a reference. If they didn't have any ability, He Zhengdao would not have directly promoted them to such an important position.

With the issuance of the combat mission formulated by General Wang Qiang, the main regiment commanders and political commissars who came to participate in the meeting sighed that this was a large-scale battle, and they also looked forward to it. They know it's finally time to play big!

The 18 main regiments attacked together, and it was also the first battle since the establishment of the Eastern Hebei Army Division. With the garrison of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, the Eastern Hebei Military Division can also be said to have gone all out this time. This is bound to make the Japanese army anxious!

After the order was announced, He Zhengdao also asked Xu Mingyuan and Han Xianchu to choose six main regiments each, and the remaining six main regiments were all under his temporary command. The six main regiment commanders and political commissars who were selected were naturally full of joy.

For them, they all felt honored to have the opportunity to fight against He Zhengdao again. After all, there are really not many opportunities like this! (To be continued.) )
