Chapter 615: Battlefield Initiative!
In the eyes of many Soviet cadres who knew He Zhengdao, their impression of He Zhengdao was more on the impression of the guard who didn't talk much, but had superb flying knife skills, and it was very surprising that He Zhengdao would have his current achievements.

On the Long March, some leaders close to Mao Taizu knew that He Zhengdao, who was in a serious coma at that time and was placed in a villager's home, really didn't even have much hope of surviving when he was placed by Mao Taizu.
But no one expected that when the Long March was blocked, this young man, who many people thought would not survive, resolutely took up the burden. Behind the enemy lines, surrounded by layers, a rearguard regiment was formed, consisting of captured and scattered officers and soldiers.
Not to mention that Lian Zhan Lianjie shared the pressure for the main force, he gradually grew from a guard regiment to an indispensable main force of the Eighth Route Army. An elite division that many leaders of the central government can place high hopes on.
In just a few years, He Zhengdao has grown from a company-level guard of the defense brigade to a heavy general of the Eighth Route Army. Even in the country, it enjoyed extraordinary popularity, and even the Japanese army regarded it as a target for serious trouble.
People who know what kind of ability He Zhengdao has feel that He Zhengdao's growth to his current position is completely due to the honor he has won by relying on his real military exploits. People who don't know will feel that he is just valued by Mao Taizu.
With the continuous improvement of Mao Taizu's status in the central government, as Mao Taizu's confidant and favorite general, He Zhengdao held such an important position at such a young age, which seems to be in the past. cronies are often promoted relatively quickly.
But after coming into contact with He Zhengdao this time, Chen Yi also really confirmed that the young man in front of him, who had not had much contact with the Soviet area, could be called a leader in the army in terms of strategic vision and battlefield analysis ability.
To have today's status, He Zhengdao does not rely entirely on Mao Taizu's trust. In the final analysis, He Zhengdao does have real materials, and every time he is promoted, he also has enough military exploits as promotion capital.
After listening to He Zhengdao's analysis of the future situation of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Yi also tried to ask: "Xiao He, if the Japanese army really occupies the entire territory of Henan, what do you think our New Fourth Army should prepare in advance?" ”
Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Old chief, I don't know much about your situation. Personally, however, I think that the focus of your future development will be on operations behind enemy lines in Jiangxi and Anhui provinces.
As for the Jiangsu region, which the Japanese army is now focusing on, it only needs to send military engineering teams behind enemy lines to slowly accumulate strength and influence in the form of infiltration. Strive to spread your forces to the entire territory of Anhui as soon as possible.
If we really want to find a key direction of development, then I personally think that we should contact the 117th Division operating in Shandong as soon as possible. If we can do this, the three sides will be able to form a triangular regional joint defense posture.
When the time comes, maybe we can work together to recover the entire territory of Anhui. At present, Jiangxi and other places that have also been occupied by the Japanese army have also been invaded by the Japanese army, and I also feel that it is necessary to send a group of troops to fight guerrillas and establish base areas.
Although the old Soviet area there was badly damaged by the Central Army. But after all, it is an old Soviet area, and we still have a certain mass base. Since the Central Army is no longer able to control the situation there, we should take the initiative.
Taking advantage of the current situation that the little devils have a firm foothold in Jiangxi and the Central Army is unable to recover the lost territory, a part of the main force is dispatched to advance into Jiangxi to resist behind enemy lines. As for Lao Jiang's side, he doesn't have to pay much attention to it in the future.
Once the Japanese army captured Henan, in order to ensure the safety of our rear in Shaanxi, we had to gather the main force and drive the little devils out of Henan. Only in this way can we develop in Shaanxi with peace of mind.
Even if this is done, it will make Lao Jiang feel that we are developing too fast and be more vigilant. Judging from the current situation, Lao Jiang may not dare to turn his face with us. Without our help, it would have been impossible for him to win this war! ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yi said with a little surprise: "It seems that your opinion is similar to that of Commander Ye." It's just that according to the information we have so far, the Central Army still retains a lot of anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines in Jiangxi! ”
'Old chief, others don't know, don't we know?' As for the troops of the Central Army in Jiangxi, do they dare to play with the little devils? In my opinion, it will not be easy for them to gain a foothold in Jiangxi.
We are used to living a hard life, even if we eat wild vegetables and burrow into the ravines, it is no problem. Most of the armed forces arranged by the Central Army to fight behind enemy lines need the Central Army to provide them with corresponding combat materials and supplies.
With the intelligence gathering ability of the little devils, will they make it so easy for the Central Army to send the supplies needed by the troops to their rear? Even the basic material support is problematic, so why fight the little devils? ’
With such an explanation, Chen Yi also nodded with a smile and said, "This is also the truth!" ”
He Zhengdao, who also nodded, continued: "With the help of this opportunity for Lao Jiang to pit me, we can really go our separate ways with the Central Army." If so, why care about how they feel?
In the eyes of many people, the south has always been the territory of the Central Army. Now we will not grab the territory still retained by the Central Army, but only recover the places occupied by the little devils. This is righteousness, and it is not easy to believe that others have anything to say.
As long as we don't touch the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang that Lao Jiang cares about the most, and don't grab land from them, Lao Jiang is afraid of unwillingness, and he can only endure it. If they have the ability, they can regain lost territory, and we will not hinder them.
If they are unable to regain lost territory, we can open up a base behind enemy lines, and that is also our ability. Whether it is with the country or the people, we go behind enemy lines to create base areas, it is a matter for the benefit of the country and the people, what can he say? ”
seemed to be a bland remark, but Chen Yi heard He Zhengdao's confidence in saying this. Speaking of which, today's Eighth Route Army has really risen in the north. Even the New Fourth Army is no longer as weak as before.
Although the achievements of the New Fourth Army so far cannot be compared with those of the Eighth Route Army. But in Chen Yi's opinion, they do have the confidence to share the world equally with the Central Army. If you have this confidence, why do you have to hold back?
On the other hand, Liu Shaoqi, who heard these words, also interjected in a timely manner: "Although the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters have expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest against the Central Army's intention to detain us in Xinyang this time.
According to the opinions of the central authorities, it is not easy for us to fall out with the Central Army at present. Showing some strength is also hoping to get more respect and the right to speak. According to the chairman's intentions, it is still a strategy to keep a low profile.
As for what the Central Army thinks, we don't have to pay too much attention to it. However, in the matter of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we must also do our best to cooperate with the Central Army. Compared with the contradictions between our two parties and two armies, the little devils are the enemies we need to deal with in unison.
The future development plan of the New Fourth Army mentioned by Xiao He earlier, Zhong Hong arrived in Yan'an, and he could also discuss it with the chairman and Mr. Zhu. If we can expand our base areas behind enemy lines, that would be a good thing.
At least judging from the current situation, there are many disputes between us and the Nationalist Government. Even if we agree to form a coalition government, Lao Chiang and his representatives will not agree to our proposal.
This means that between our two parties and two armies, there is only one more war in the future. If we can complete the layout in the south ahead of schedule, it will be easier for us to complete the reunification of the motherland at that time. ”
As the secretary of the Central China Bureau, Liu Shaoqi naturally knows a lot about the future principles and policies of the central government. Taking this opportunity, Liu Shaoqi also admitted for the first time that they will definitely have a war with the Nationalist Government.
In this case, it is also necessary to make some preparations!
After saying this, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Two old leaders, I came to discuss the current situation with the two of you this time, and I also hope to put the work of the Central China Bureau on the right track as soon as possible.
As far as the current situation is concerned, although the Japanese army has increased its vigilance against us. But at the same time, they have also created a lot of favorable conditions for us, which can let us fight with them freely.
If, in the future, we can successfully expel the Japanese troops who are likely to capture Henan, then we will have a much larger base area. Although we will be under more pressure at that time, there will be crises and opportunities, depending on whether we can seize them.
Once we can really recover the whole territory of Henan, then it will be relatively easy for the New Fourth Army to recover Anhui in the future. As long as we succeed in recovering Anhui, the Japanese troops deployed in Hubei will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated.
Even at the right time, I am afraid that the Central Army will also intervene. But even if they have the ability to recover Wuhan, no matter how they want to deal with our troops in the future, they will not succeed easily. If we can take Henan, we will have the initiative on the battlefield.
As the old saying goes, whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world, and the Central China Bureau is our outpost to recover the Central Plains. Next, as long as we can achieve the goal of recovering Henan, I believe many people will know that we are very different from before. ”
Danger and opportunity coexist, which is the reason why He Zhengdao agreed to go south to join the war. With such an elite force entrenched in the south, no matter against the Japanese army or the Central Army in the future, the Eighth Route Army will have a certain ability to fight back and defend itself.
At least He Zhengdao does not want to see a repeat of the tragedy that happened to the New Fourth Army in the future. Even in his imagination, when World War II was not over, he could end this protracted war of resistance against Japan ahead of schedule.
Only in this way will it be possible for China to take advantage of World War II to truly develop and become stronger. After all, for many European and American countries, they do not want to see a strong China.
But if the time of Huaxia's strong rise is just the time when they are fighting with the Axis powers, perhaps they will feel that it is a very lucky thing to have such an ally.
With such expectations, Huaxia can also take advantage of the trend. When the Second World War ended, even if European and American countries reacted, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop the awakening of this oriental dragon! (To be continued.) )
