With the complete retreat of the Japanese army from Henan, the Eighth Route Army also stopped, as the Japanese expected, in the border area between Henan and the provinces. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and began to build fortifications in these places.

This also means that the Eighth Route Army does not want to stimulate the little devils too much for the time being. In this way, the Japanese troops who retreated to the surrounding provinces also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They knew they could finally get some rest.

Even if many of the Japanese troops who participated in the war were a little unwilling to retreat in this kind of defeat, but when they thought of those who died on the battlefield, they all felt that they were very lucky, at least they managed to survive.

Although the Eighth Route Army no longer attacked them, the Japanese army also began to build fortifications on the border with the Eighth Route Army. These two battles have made the Japanese army feel that the offensive strength of the Eighth Route Army cannot be underestimated.

If they don't take too much precautions, maybe one day the Eighth Route Army will attack them again. It is better to build more fortifications than when the Eighth Route Army launches a surprise attack, but they are not prepared at all.

In short, the smoke of war in Henan and Shanxi provinces came to an end with the complete rout of the Japanese army and the suspension of the Eighth Route Army. The guerrilla units from all walks of life also ended their attacks on the Japanese garrison.

In the atmosphere of the Eighth Route Army's great victory in electrification, the land of China seemed to usher in a long-lost peace. Even the Japanese troops in the garrison also received strict orders from above, and they were not allowed to use swords without permission from above.

In this way, even the people in the occupied areas feel that this Spring Festival may be able to stop a little. But for many, they know that this may be the calm before the storm.

With the character of a little devil who will repay his teeth, this time he suffered such a big loss on the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely not be reconciled. This means that next year may be the time when the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army will start a full-scale war.

So in this case, what choice should the national government of Chongqing make has also become the focus of national concern!

At this moment, Lao Chiang, who had convened several meetings of the generals, finally proposed that he must fight a turnaround battle next year, so that the people would know that they were also capable of carrying out a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and they were also capable of recovering some lost territory.

For Lao Jiang's decision, even if some people think it is inappropriate, Lao Jiang still said: "If we don't even have the courage to fight the Japanese army, then let's just go home and pick up our children!"

The gang of people in Yan'an can beat the little devils like this, and I believe we also have this ability. Even if we can't recover all our lost territory, we will also have an explanation for the people to recover one county and one territory. Otherwise, who will approve of us in the future?

At present, there is already a puppet government in Nanjing, and the gang in Shaanxi do not take us seriously at all. Even this time, Yan'an won such a battle, and all countries in the world began to pay attention to them.

You are all important members of the government, and you should know what this means. If we don't fight ourselves, do you still expect this government to be saved? From now on, we will prepare for war in an all-round way, and find the right time to have a general battle with the Japanese army next year! ”

With Lao Chiang's final word, the national * army units that retreated to the southwest and other places also began to enter a state of readiness. Taizu and the others, who learned the news, also knew that Lao Jiang was stimulated by their big victory.

But no matter what, Lao Jiang was able to restrain his anger at this time and not have friction and provocation with the Eighth Route Army, which also shows that Lao Jiang is still clear. At present, for both of them, the Japanese army is the greatest enemy.

If they don't work together, none of them will have a good time. Hearing such a situation, Taizu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, fighting these two battles is also not easy for the Eighth Route Army!

Although the gains of the Eighth Route Army in these two battles were not small, Taizu and others also knew that the focus of the Japanese army's offensive next year would definitely be tilted towards them. This means that next year, the Eighth Route Army will be under great offensive pressure.

At a time when the military and civilians of Shaanxi and the people of the newly liberated areas began to prepare for the New Year. Taizu, Mr. Zhu and others are also discussing next year's development plan and operational layout to cope with the major changes that may occur next year.

At this time, He Zhengdao, who had just finished his talks with Fu Zuoyi, also sent a telegram to Yan'an. Looking at the telegram sent by He Zhengdao, Taizu thought about it and said, "What does the boss think of this kid's suggestion?" ”

I think it's doable! In any case, Fu Zuoyi and the 35th Army under his command are indeed an elite unit in the Jin Sui Army. If they are placed in Jincheng, it will be somewhat wasteful.

Now I think it's very good to transfer them to the Datong line and pose a threat to the Japanese army in the direction of Zhangjiakou. And Datong is also a good place for Fu Zuoyi and the 35th Army.

It was relatively close to Suiyuan, and many officers and men of Suiyuan nationality in the 35 th Army also knew very well the importance of holding Datong to them. As long as we strictly manage and train our troops, I believe that the 35 th Army will become an elite force for us in the future. ’

After an open and honest conversation with Fu Zuoyi, He Zhengdao gave Fu Zuoyi two positions. One is the head of the military government in Suiyuan, but this position is more responsible for government affairs and people's livelihood.

The other is the person in charge of the Datong Military Region. Cooperate with the troops there to contain the enemy on the Zhangjiakou side. Even when the time was ripe, he waved his troops to capture Zhangjiakou and open the passage to attack Beiping.

After some consideration, Fu Zuoyi still said: "Although I really want to return to Suiyuan and do something for the people there to make up for their mistakes." But in this current situation, if you don't drive the little devils away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a stable life.

If General Ho doesn't mind, I'd still like to take up a position in the military. In the early years, when I was in charge of Suiyuan, I was still familiar with the situation in Datong. Therefore, I will choose the post of commander of the Datong Military Region! ”

'Good! Since General Fu still wants to work in the army, then I will send your request and my suggestions to the central government for the leaders to decide. But I believe that neither the chairman nor the CEO will let go of a cadre like you.

To tell you the truth, after the beginning of spring next year, I will lead my troops to begin to attack Rehe and other places, and officially start the campaign to march into the northeast. In this way, the location of Zhangjiakou is very critical, and there is indeed a need for a strong force to be stationed there.

Although I know that the position of commander of a military division is a bit of a big deal for General Fu. But you and I both know that we need more time and cooperation to get to know each other, so that this cooperation can last.

Please also rest assured that General Fu will fully support the military work in Datong. Since we are also friendly neighbors in the future, if there is anything I can help with, please ask General Fu to speak.

This time, the 35th Army will also be moved to Datong with General Fu. In addition to our local garrison, you will also be fully responsible for the external defense of the entire Datong, and our army will be responsible for your supplies and ammunition supply.

Again, even though you are in the same trenches, I will treat you 35th Army as a comrade. However, I hope that in the future, when General Fu expands his troops, it is better to select the best of the best, rather than just making up the number of people.

As for the supplies and ordnance that you are short of, when you arrive in Datong, I will order the military headquarters to distribute the logistics in full. Take advantage of this winter, you should also seize the time to train and rest, I am afraid that there will be an endless battle next year! ’

He Zhengdao, who said these words very calmly, really had a headache for Yan'an and the headquarters to hand over Fu Zuoyi to his own arrangement. Speaking of which, he is a junior in the army, and Fu Zuoyi is also a veteran in the army.

The most important thing is that Fu Zuoyi also has two appointments from the national government. If you really want to talk about it, He Zhengdao's qualifications are not as good as Fu Zuoyi. However, at present, the losses of the 35th Army are relatively serious, and its strength has indeed shrunk a lot.

If you want to rebuild the 35th Army, it will be difficult without the support of the Eighth Route Army. But he took the liberty of arranging Fu Zuoyi to the military department, and He Zhengdao felt that it was not appropriate. In this case, it is also his best ability to make him responsible for the defense of Datong.

In any case, compared with Jincheng, where the 35th Army is stationed today, Datong is undoubtedly more important. Most importantly, it is also a familiar place for many old people of the 35th Army.

In Taiyuan City that night, Mr. He entertained Fu Zuoyi and his party with the friendship of the landlord. In fact, for the arrangement between Yan'an and the headquarters, Mr. He also knew that this was the intention of cultivating He Zhengdao.

Of course, the most important reason was that they felt that He Zhengdao had the ability to control the 35th Army. Even if He Zhengdao is very young, but after so many battles, no one dares to despise this young national general anymore!

As long as He Zhengdao can get the approval of Fu Zuoyi and the 35th Army, then the North China Anti-Japanese Allied Army will also have one more main force in the future. If the 35th Army is not divided, it is also very touching to deal with Zuoyi.

After all, if it were someone else, I was afraid that Fu Zuoyi would still be given a higher position. But for the troops under his command, I am afraid that they will also be scattered. This is also to prevent Fu Zuoyi from doing things against the water when the time comes.

However, according to He Zhengdao's current understanding, there are already quite a few officers of the Eighth Route Army in the 35th Army, which has been rebuilt several times. Even if these officers do not hold high positions, most of them serve as backbone officers at the grassroots level.

This means that if Fu Zuoyi really wants to do something against the water in the future, it is unlikely that even in the 35th Army, it will be possible to get a response from the grassroots troops. How could he have done without the response of the troops?

What's more, after moving to Datong, Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army will also replace the troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed there. However, in Datong City and the surrounding areas, the Eighth Route Army also has garrison troops stationed, which is not completely undefended.

If Fu Zuoyi can make a difference, He Zhengdao doesn't mind giving him a higher development platform in the future. He believes that Yan'an and the headquarters also have this kind of consideration. Rashly promoting him to a high position will also arouse the dissatisfaction of some people inside.

Therefore, such an arrangement is actually the best arrangement for the Eighth Route Army and Fu Zuoyi himself! (To be continued.) )
