It was also when the New Year was approaching and he arrived in Yan'an, and the special operations detachment he brought with him was placed in the guard division barracks. He Zhengdao only took Song Yuping and two guards to live in the military recruitment office, which seemed to be a little overcrowded at the moment.

As a joint meeting of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, the commanders and political commissars of the main divisions and political commissars in the base areas gathered. Even several of the main division commanders in the enemy's war zone also arrived in Yan'an earlier.

Looking at He Zhengdao, who seemed to be a little late, the division commanders who had checked in to the military recruitment office in advance also smiled and teased a few words. For this young general of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi War that had just ended before made these division commanders dare not despise He Zhengdao.

Even if the mood is not very happy, in the face of these main division commanders who have not seen him for some time, He Zhengdao also behaved as always. This makes many people feel that He Zhengdao still seems to be no different from before.

When he saw Liu Bocheng and Political Commissar Deng of the 129th Division, He Zhengdao also said very sincerely: "In the previous battle in Xinzhou, thank you to the two old leaders for their great help. Without your cooperation, I am afraid that the battle would not have been so easy! ”

For He Zhengdao's thanks, Political Commissar Deng smiled and said, "Commander, I'm right again, right?" He didn't wait for us to say thank you, he would have thanked us in advance! Speaking of the previous battle, we should be grateful to you! ”

In the previous Battle of Xinzhou, the 129th Division and the 127th Division should be the main divisions with the most losses. The former took the Yangmingbao Airport, which led the Japanese army to carry out a sweep of its base area.

In the later stage, in order to cooperate with He Zhengdao, it was the main force that tried its best to block the return of the Japanese brigade. Despite the success of the battle, the losses of the subordinate troops were no less significant. The loss can be compared to the gain. The gains of the 129th Division are undoubtedly huge.

Although the armored vehicles captured earlier are currently being received by the independent column. But the Japanese brigade annihilated in Xinzhou. The mountain artillery and field artillery it is equipped with have become the weapons of the 129th Division. Let it form an artillery regiment directly under the division.

Even in order to allow this artillery regiment to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, He Zhengdao also transferred a group of capable artillery from the artillery brigade of the column to the 129th Division. With the assistance of these professional artillerymen, the artillery regiment of the 129th Division can also be quickly formed.

Listening to Political Commissar Deng's words, Liu Bocheng also nodded and said with a smile: "If you really want to talk about it, we actually didn't help you anything before." The battle at Yangmingbao, the troops we sent, were more just a logistical force.

Even in the battle of attacking the airfield, our division suffered almost zero casualties. Even if you attack Yangmingbao. By the time the new regiment rushed in, the battle was basically over. The Ninth Brigade was encircled and annihilated in the back, and your reconnaissance regiment also contributed a lot! ”

Regarding Liu Bocheng's words, He Zhengdao could only smile and said: "The old chief, they are all their own family, isn't it natural to be mutually beneficial?" What's more, without your cooperation in the enemy's war zone, the previous operation would not have gone so smoothly. ”

After thanking the two military and political commanders of the 129th Division, He Zhengdao did not forget to thank the military and political commanders of several other divisions. In a word. He Zhengdao also didn't want to do this, making people feel that the success of the tiger's mouth food plan was all his own credit.

Equal credit is the king's way, and it is more conducive to the unity of the divisions of the Eighth Route Army. At this point, He Zhengdao also feels very lucky. Be a part of this force. In terms of unity, the Eighth Route Army is more cohesive.

With the arrival of Xu Xiangqian, the commander of the 117th Division reorganized from the Red Fourth Front Army, in Yan'an, the military and political chiefs of each division attended the enlarged meeting. They all gathered in Yan'an to prepare for the upcoming military and political conference.

The 117th Division, which is now guarding the front line of Gannan. It is also a strong combat unit in the Eighth Route Army. Because the distance is the farthest from Yan'an. So it was also the last delegate to arrive in Yan'an.

Looking at Zeng Zhongsheng, who is now the political commissar of the 117th Division, seeing that he still had a grateful expression, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Old chief, I haven't seen you for a long time!" The old injuries from the past, now it shouldn't be a big deal, right? ”

Despite being successfully rescued, Zeng's body was still damaged to a great extent. Perhaps it is for this reason that in the end, when the Red Fourth Front Army was reorganized, Zeng Zhongsheng served as the political commissar, and Xu Xiangqian served as the division commander.

Facing He Zhengdao's greetings, Zeng Zhongsheng was also very moved and said: "The old problem, I am afraid that it will be bad for a while." However, at the moment our conditions are much better than before, and this little problem is okay in the short term.

Originally, I always wanted to find an opportunity to go to your Yulin border area to see and learn some experience. As a result, you can't get out of it all the time, and many times you are out leading the troops to fight. After this meeting, I wonder if I can go to your place to ask for a drink! ”

Listening to Zeng Zhongsheng's words, He Zhengdao immediately said: "What the old chief said! Always welcome! ”

To a certain extent, the convening of such an enlarged military-political conference is also an opportunity to deepen the feelings of the commanders of various divisions. Even if He Zhengdao is the youngest among all the people, he is also the most popular person among many teachers.

When he was busy contacting these division commanders and political commissars, He Zhengdao did not forget to report to Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu about the beheading plan. Regarding the plan formulated by He Zhengdao, the two of them felt that it could be implemented after listening to it.

After the report ended, He Zhengdao also said directly: "Chairman, commander-in-chief!" In order to ensure the safety and secrecy of the operation, I hope that after the Saber Special Combat Team enters southern Anhui, it will be able to join Division Commander Chen's Second Division in the name of the reconnaissance detachment.

If the two chiefs do not object, I have decided to set up a Southern Saber Combat Detachment in the New Fourth Army. In addition to recruiting some qualified officers and men for training, they also cooperated with the New Fourth Army in conducting operations behind enemy lines.

Most importantly, I have a concern. With the expansion of the size of our troops, there is no threat from the Japanese army in the future. I'm afraid that Lao Jiang will do something to the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. The saber is here, maybe it can come in handy! ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu glanced at each other and said, "Tell me your reason?" ”

'The south has always been regarded by Lao Chiang as their inherent base. Judging from the current situation, the Central Army will not be able to form effective control over the north in a short period of time. This means that for a period of time in the future, the war of resistance in the north will be dominated by us.

If the strength of the New Fourth Army continues to grow in the south, I believe that Lao Chiang will also be worried. What's more, at present, within the Central Army, the voices opposing us still have the upper hand. Surely, someone will use their brains.

The secret arrangement of the 1st and 6th detachments of the saber there can also play a certain deterrent effect. The decapitation operation that the saber will carry out in Nanjing this time is believed to let some generals of the Central Army know that there is a sword hanging above their heads.

Whoever dares to do such a thing that hurts the relatives and makes the enemies happy, the blade of the saber will be on their necks. We will not take the first shot of the civil war, but we will never sit idly by. That's my reason! ’

After saying this, Mao Taizu suddenly said: "Then why did you arrange the saber special combat team to the second division of the New Fourth Army?" If they are to play a role, shouldn't they be directly placed under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army? ”

"Chairman, the three men know Division Commander Chen, and there are several members of the first detachment, all of whom are veterans from the southern Jiangxi Soviet region. Most of the Second Division of the New Fourth Army is the old foundation of the Red 34th Division, and its reliability is higher.

If it is directly under the command of the military headquarters, I am worried that the details of the saber will be figured out by the Central Army and the Japanese army. After all, it is very difficult for us to do this with the New Fourth Army at present, and it is as flexible and smooth as commanding the existing 10 divisions.

It was the territory of the Central Army, and it was more cautious and cautious than here. Therefore, I think it is far more advantageous to join the Second Division than to have the military headquarters directly under it. Even for a short time, only divisional cadres knew about the saber. ’

After some reasoned analysis, Mao Taizu thought for a while and said, "Boss, what do you say?" ”

'Yes! Shuchun is an old Red Army, and he also came out of our base area. The second division under his command is also the unit with the largest number of party members. It is indeed safer to let Sabre go over and join the second division. ’

With Mr. Zhu's consent, Mao Taizu naturally wouldn't say anything. With the approval of these two, He Zhengdao found Song Yuping alone and said: "Three gentlemen, this time we are afraid that we will be separated for a long time!" ”

'Commander, can't you let anyone else do this mission?' ’

Listening to Song Yuping's words, He Zhengdao scolded with a smile: "What? Don't you want to? This time, I sent you to the south to join the Second Division of the New Fourth Army under the commander of Chen Shuchun, and I also gave you a chance to return to the south.

Not to mention this time, the decapitation mission you are about to carry out requires detailed preparations. Most importantly, I hope that the shadow of the saber cannot be limited to the north. In the South, your role is equally great.

Even earlier, I, the chairman and the commander-in-chief proposed the establishment of the Southern Saber Special Operations Brigade, with you as the first captain. If there is any situation in the future, you can report to me, or you can report to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

As for the New Fourth Army, if you need to be transferred, you also need to get approval from the headquarters. This means that you will also be a special operations unit with independent combat rights in the New Fourth Army.

I also hope that you can lead the first and sixth detachments to expand our saber ranks in the south. As one of the first special operators to graduate, you are now capable of standing alone. I hope you don't let me down! ”

'Rest assured, Commander, I will not let you down at any time!' ’

'Don't be so loud!' After you arrive in southern Anhui, don't rush into action. You must first familiarize yourself with the local environment and situation, and wait until you are familiar with the surrounding enemy situation, and then you will find an appropriate time to make a move.

In short, I hope you can do it, if the saber is not out, it will be enough, and if it comes out, you will see the enemy's blood. In the future, if any new equipment is developed in the base area, I will also arrange for someone to send it to you through secret channels. ’

After some admonition, Song Yuping quickly left Yan'an with a handwritten letter from He Zhengdao. He was joined by two heavily armed special operations units.

This team, which numbered less than 100 people, would inevitably set off a bloody storm from the moment it stepped into the south. I believe that in a short period of time, the Japanese generals in the south will also become everyone in danger! (To be continued.) )
