Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

With the outbreak of the July 7 Incident as scheduled, the 29th Army stationed in Pingxian fought very bravely. It is a pity that after the incident broke out, Lao Jiang and Song Zheyuan still wanted to resolve the Lugou Bridge shelling incident through negotiations.

After receiving a telegram from the front, He Zhengdao, who had secretly transferred his troops out one after another and began to build a solid defensive position in Suixi. He was somewhat speechless about this kind of beaten-up and still eager to negotiate.

The wolf has opened its fangs, and the sheep are counting on tigers and lions to be judges. In the end, it can only be devoured. And it turned out that the headquarters of the Red Army was similar to what He Zhengdao had guessed.

It lasted less than a month before Pingxian fell. In the face of such an outcome, the soldiers and civilians who paid attention to the war all seemed to be distressed. But in fact, only He Zhengdao knows that this is only the beginning of the suffering of the whole people.

In addition to a lot of bad news, Zhou Enlai, who has been running for peace talks between the two parties, finally came with good news. As for the current imminent situation of the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Chiang seems to be a little unable to bear it, and he has loosened up in the negotiations.

In view of this situation, Mao Taizu also knew that it would be beneficial for anyone to continue to drag on. For the Red Army, too, it wants a chance to be recognized by the government. Only in this way will the Red Army be able to reap greater political benefits.

In terms of the establishment of the main division, Lao Chiang finally gave the number of ten divisions and twenty-six brigades. This means: With these numbers, the Red Army was almost able to settle its troops.

According to the conditions of Zhou Enlai's negotiation with Lao Jiang. After the reorganization, the main division of the Red Army will be the establishment of one division, two brigades, and one regiment. The number of the main division at full strength was close to the number of a division of the Japanese army, that is, more than 20,000 people.

These 10 divisions alone, in fact, with the current strength of the Red Army, will not reach their full strength at all. After all, what the Red Army has adopted now is also the main battle and the garrison two sets of troops. Therefore, there is also a certain basis for expansion.

In fact, for the current Red Army, what is needed more is a righteous name of resistance against Japan. A qualification to be able to dialogue with the Kuomintang on an equal footing. And the Route Army reorganized by the Red Army is still the surprisingly Eighth Route Army.

The road army is also a relatively common establishment during the Anti-Japanese War, which is more than the army, somewhat similar to the establishment of the group army. According to the agreement reached between the two parties, the reorganized Eighth Route Army will reach about 180,000 people.

The garrison of the Red Army will become the local garrison under the command of the Eighth Route Army. In front of their number, it will also be crowned with 'a certain garrison regiment or garrison brigade of the Eighth Route Army'. These garrisons are not promised by the government.

But for the Red Army. Even if the ten divisions that have received official numbers want to get the future salaries and weapons supply of the national government, it is unlikely. Either way, it's a good start.

The commanders of the Red Army Corps gathered again in Yan'an. Naturally, there are also people who disagree with this reorganization. In their opinion, even if the Red Army resists the war alone, it is better than accepting the reorganization of the Central Army.

The many corps commanders who looked silent in the conference room. Mao Taizu also knew that these army commanders felt uncomfortable. Even if the Red Army's standard military uniform is not changed, the hat on the head will be changed. This is for many officers and soldiers. It's also hard to accept.

In the hearts of many officers and soldiers, the blue sky and white sun emblem represent the enemy. all these years. How many of their comrades-in-arms fell under the guns of the officers and soldiers wearing these cockades? Now they also wear, how to pick up the dead comrades?

Facing the silent crowd, Mr. Zhu, as the commander-in-chief, finally spoke: "I know that everyone is uncomfortable, but I feel good." But if we want to resist Japan, we must unite all forces that can be united.

To put it mildly, with the existing strength of our Red Army, we simply cannot cause much trouble to the Japanese army. The most important thing is that if we do not accept the reorganization, we will not be able to go to the front to participate in the war of resistance.

At present, we have the 10 main divisions recognized by the Nationalist Government, and we also have the right to fight independently, and we even have a batch of materials and military salaries provided by the national government. Even if there aren't many of them, they're good for us in the end.

Xiao He told us about the strength of the Japanese army earlier, you are all people who have led soldiers to fight, I think you know best that with our existing material reserves and army, can you really fight the little devils? Fighting is a death!

With these materials and salaries, we can not only ensure the supply of materials for the troops going to the front line, but also use the military salaries provided by the national government to expand more troops in the base areas. Don't you understand this? ”

As Mr. Zhu's words came out, the rest of the corps commanders were still silent. In this case, He Zhengdao finally opened his mouth when he saw Mao Taizu's gesture: "Commander-in-chief, old leaders, can you listen to me!" ”

'Say!' ’

Seeing that He Zhengdao could understand what he meant, Mao Taizu nodded at the right time. And everyone else knows that if you want to reorganize the independent column, the biggest loss should be the independent column. For the other corps, it is almost the same to reorganize a full-fledged main division.

In the eyes of everyone, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Regarding the reorganization, I think everyone feels more uncomfortable, and some can't accept to replace our red star hat and wear the national emblem hat of the Central Army.

But have you ever thought that the next step is not a battlefield of one city and one place, but a national war that will determine the life and death of China. In this case, no matter what flag we are under that flag, we all have an identity, and that is Chinese soldiers.

Just before our meeting, Vice Chairman Zhou sent a piece of information, and I was really angry after reading it. I believe that the old leaders will be even more angry when they hear this. But why would the little devil dare to say such a thing?

After the outbreak of the 77 Incident, the Minister of War of the Japanese Army, Sugiyama Moto, gave the emperor of the little devil a word to solve the Chinese problem in three months. Do you think the old chiefs have this confidence from him?

If we are still struggling with the problem of a hat until this time, how can we cooperate with other troops to fight the little devils when we go to the battlefield of resistance against Japan in the future?

To put it mildly, the little devil sees that we will not unite to resist Japan. At present, when our weapons are inferior to the little devils, and our strength is not as good as the little devils, if we have to be more vigilant against friendly forces, how can this battle be fought?

Although I have not been in the Red Army for as long as the old leaders, I also feel glaring about the blue sky and white emblem. But I know that the hat is white, as long as the heart is red, so what's the harm in wearing it? ”

Historically, when the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, the officers and men of the unit also left the team in anger because of this hat. If it was the corps commander, this decision would not be carried out, and the officers and soldiers below would only be more difficult to accept.

After saying this, He Zhengdao looked at the most unacceptable army commanders, and said: "The ancients said that 'lying on the salary and tasting the courage, being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han', compared to those soldiers of our party lurking in the enemy's camp, we at least have the right to fight independently.

If we delay the reorganization and allocation just because of a hat, we are afraid that the loss will be even greater in the future. What's more, after the completion of the reorganization, we will also be able to smoothly take over the entire territory of Shaanxi in the name of the Eighth Route Army of the People.

At this time, Lao Jiang wanted to push us to the front line as cannon fodder, why don't we need such an opportunity? If we don't stop the little devils who are about to invade Jinchaji, even if we stay here, we won't get any development.

As long as the adaptation is completed, we will be able to recover the rivers and mountains in the name of resisting Japan. As long as we regain the place, I believe that other warlords will not be able to say anything, right? The temporary forbearance is also for the sake of our future unification! ”

Although this is a bit explicit, it is still very reasonable. If the reorganization is not completed, the Jin Sui Army deployed in the northern Shaanxi border area will not be easily disarmed. This has undoubtedly dragged down the strength of the two armies.

Once the reorganization is completed, even if the Jin Sui army is wary of the Red Army, it will not dare to send a large force to deploy as it is now. Similarly, the Red Army could also draw the main forces from the base areas and send them to Jin-Cha-Ji and North China.

Most importantly, the Northeast Army is also being reorganized. After completing the reorganization, they will be placed under the jurisdiction of the First Theater of Operations and go to North China to fight the Japanese army. And after its withdrawal, the Red Army will also successfully take Xi'an.

At this point, Lao Chiang, who already knew that he was powerless to reverse the situation in Xi'an, finally acquiesced to such a thing. Because Lao Jiang also knew very well that the Northeast Army and the Red Army at this time could be described as an alliance.

Now the Northeast Army will be transferred to the front line, Xi'an, this place, I am afraid that the Northeast Army will not be handed over to the Central Army with confidence. In order to weaken the strength of the Northeast Army and the Red Army, it was undoubtedly a wise decision to raise a force to Shaanxi.

Secondly, for the Northeast Army, they are also satisfied that they can go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. Compared with staying in Shaanxi and not dying or living, they are more willing to jump out of here, go to the front line to fight to the death with the little devils, and play the prestige of the Northeast Army.

After three days of discussions, the Red Army finally completed the decision to reorganize. As the strongest unit of the Red Army, the independent column was reorganized into the independent division of the Eighth Route Army, and the division commander He Zhengdao applied for the rank of major general.

The independent column, which originally had four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, was eventually reorganized into a truly fully staffed independent division, with two infantry brigades and a cavalry regiment under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of 28,000 troops, which can be called the real trump card main force.

To He Zhengdao's surprise, the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army in history were also assigned to the Red Army because the Northeast Army was also reorganized. In doing so, I think it was also Lao Chiang's intention to stir up the relationship between the two armies.

The commander-in-chief of the reorganized Eighth Route Army is still Mr. Zhu, and he was also awarded the rank of general, and he was also the only general in the Red Army. And the rank of lieutenant general, Lao Jiang only gave ten, it seems that it was reserved for ten division commanders.

But the problem is that Zhou Enlai, who has held an important position in the military, also needs a military rank, not including the commanders of the eight southern provinces who also need to be reorganized into the New Fourth Army.

As a result, it was natural that He Zhengdao, who was originally the strongest in the main division, took the initiative to give up the opportunity to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general. And in fact, even with the rank of He Zhengdao, Lao Jiang has been picking on the stab for a long time!
