Although Li Zongren came with curiosity, he planned to meet He Zhengdao and the troops under his command. But when he arrived at the place where the 67th Army was temporarily resting, Li Zongren's feelings about the 67th Army were best described as happy and worried.

The good news is that the 67th Army is worthy of being the elite unit of the Eighth Route Army, and both the weapons and equipment they use and the temperament of the officers and men of the unit can be called elite. Even Song Xilian's 71st Army may not dare to say that it is stronger than the 67th Army.

With such a new force joining the Fifth Theater, as the commander, he may have more expectations in the arrangement of troops. As the commander of the theater, Li Zongren also hopes to earn more military exploits and fame.

The worrying thing is that when you get a glimpse of the whole leopard, the 67th Army in front of you is said to be the elite unit of the Eighth Route Army. But before that, the 67th Army was also expanded from an independent division. With such a main division, the Eighth Route Army had a full ten.

If it is the other main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, they all have elite combat effectiveness like the 67th Army. Li Zongren also felt that in the future, the Eighth Route Army would only be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of one side in the matter of the Chinese War of Resistance.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Central Army wants to monopolize state power, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy. This also means that if the two parties cannot talk together, perhaps the two armies that cooperated in the War of Resistance will face the situation of fighting each other again.

To Li Zongren's surprise, He Zhengdao didn't seem to mind his inspection. He was even very enthusiastic and took Li Zongren to take a walk among some troops in the garrison. This attitude made Li Zongren feel that He Zhengdao was very generous.

Thinking about it from another angle, Li Zongren can also see He Zhengdao's self-confidence. If the Central Army really dares to pit the 67th Army in the next battle, I am afraid that He Zhengdao will not be so easy to pit.

It is even very possible that people will not be pitted but will be pitted. This also means that Li Zongren will also have to think more about the 67th Army when he deploys the battle plan in the future. At least the idea of pitting people is probably going to be dispelled.

After walking around the barracks, He Zhengdao still led Li Zongren to a tent. Seeing that the tents were all built with sandbags and a few temporary spliced tables were placed inside, Li Zongren was also a little surprised.

smiled and said, "This is your command post?" Isn't that too shabby? Aren't there a few villages next to this? Why didn't you move your troops into the village when you were stationed? ”

In the face of Li Zongren's inquiry, He Zhengdao also explained with a smile: "This is just a temporary place to recuperate, and there is no need to spend so much effort to rectify any headquarters." Going to live in the village will also disturb the local people to some extent.

Most importantly, we don't dare to bet that the little devils will know about our temporary location. If we move to the people's villages, then the little devils will launch air raids, and those people will also suffer from the pond fish.

It's a little simpler, but it's also easy to clean up. If there is a task, we can also move away quickly. And the other advantage of this arrangement is that the little devil can't find exactly where my headquarters is.

After all, Chief Li had also seen it before, and there were quite a few tents like this in my station. As long as it's not an internal leak, even if a little devil gets in, I believe it won't be so easy to find where my headquarters is. ”

After such an explanation, Li Zongren also felt that there was some truth. But more, he still knows that the Eighth Route Army is indeed much more self-disciplined than the generals of the Central Army in terms of enjoyment. The hard-working nature, the Eighth Route Army still remains unchanged!

After the group took their seats at random, Li Zongren only brought an accompanying staff officer, and the rest of the guards were arranged outside. As for He Zhengdao's side, he was also accompanied by Luo Ruiqing, even if Zhang Cheng and Xu Renyi didn't come over.

After chatting for a few words, Li Zongren said: "Commander He, you sent a telegram a while ago saying that you had caught some spies?" When I came, I also asked about the troops, and these people were all from our neighborhood. They may be a little wary of the suddenness of your arrival.

For the trouble they have caused to your army, I apologize to Commander He for them. Since everyone is a friendly army, I hope that Commander He will give me a face and hand over those people to me to take away. When the time comes, I'll give them a good lecture. ”

Since Chief Li interceded, then I won't say anything more. Those people, let Chief Li take them away later! But I'm a young man, and sometimes I'm a straight talker. At least I don't want something like that to happen in the future.

If you want to get in touch, I want your people to be more open-minded. Although the little devil hasn't hit here yet, Chief Li should know that the little devil has a very strong ability to gather intelligence, and I don't want to expose the whereabouts of our department too early. ’

'Okay, I'll explain this matter then, and I'm sure it won't happen again. ’

Seeing that He Zhengdao had something to say but did not reveal the identities of those people, Li Zongren complained in his heart that the intelligence officers of the military command were incompetent, but also felt that he should warn the people on the military command side not to do any kind of demon moths in the fifth war zone.

If those guys don't listen to the advice, and next time those people are caught by He Zhengdao, then don't blame Li Zongren for not saving him when he sees death. Li Zongren is actually quite disgusted by this kind of thing. What's more, it's still a debt of favor for the military commander's affairs!

After talking about these things, Li Zongren said tentatively: "Commander He, I don't know if Commander He has heard of the matter of the 77th Army before?" ”

'What Chief Li wants to ask should be the fact that they won a battle in Shihe, right? Of course, I know about this, but I probably don't know much about it. It's just that I heard that this battle seems to be going well, right? ’

For such a temptation, He Zhengdao did not admit or deny it. To say that I haven't heard of it at all would be a bit too much to say. Although the power of this great victory did not come out, it was almost three days after the incident, how could he pretend not to know?

This kind of ambiguous words made Li Zongren really a little unsure, whether this matter had anything to do with the Eighth Route Army. But no matter what, the 77th Army's attack on the 13th Division of the Japanese Army this time did relieve a lot of pressure on the Fifth Theater.

Seeing He Zhengdao answer like this, Li Zongren didn't want to ask too much, so he could only smile and say, "Yes!" It's a good fight! Not to mention giving the little devil a head-on blow, he also killed the commander of the little devil's division, and this battle was really good.

I have to say that the death squad sent by the 77th Army has such combat effectiveness, which is indeed a bit beyond my imagination. It's just that I still hope for more and more victories like this. The more the little devils die, the safer our Fifth War Zone will be.

The 71st Army and the 42nd Army fought with them in Lu'an before, and a division of the 71st Army suffered heavy losses, and Sun Lianzhong's 42nd Army suffered heavy casualties. At the moment, there are not many troops in our theater that can come in handy.

Fortunately, you arrived here early, and I can finally let go of my heart. Regarding the next battle, does Commander He have any high opinions? You and I are both soldiers, so it doesn't hurt to say anything openly! ”

also said something in his words, Li Zongren also believed that He Zhengdao also understood the meaning of his words. And the last words he said also hoped to tell He Zhengdao that he was still very polite to the Eighth Route Army.

As Li Zongren expected, He Zhengdao was also clear about helping the 77th Army fight, and he couldn't hide it from someone with a heart. After all, what is the combat effectiveness of the 77th Army, and how could Li Zongren know nothing?

From the Nationalist Government to the present, it can be seen that this great victory has not been announced to the public, and Lao Jiang must also be suspicious. If he doesn't investigate, he is afraid that such a big victory will not be announced to the public casually.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Chief Li is polite!" We were ordered to go south this time and join the Fifth War Zone to cooperate with the War of Resistance, so naturally we also had to obey Chief Li's orders. We dare to make suggestions on the deployment of operations. ”

'Brother He, it's too much to say this, isn't it? Anyway, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other, right? ’

Even when he said something like 'Brother He', Li Zongren had some enthusiastic attitude, which surprised He Zhengdao and Luo Ruiqing. It's just that both of them know that it is still good for them for Li Zongren to have such an attitude.

After thinking for a while, He Zhengdao still said: "Chief Li, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, we are here to cooperate in the battle, and there are some things that we really don't want to express any opinions. But for fighting little devils, we should all have the same purpose.

As for the current situation on the battlefield, although I have already sent some reconnaissance troops, what I know about the situation should be only one-sided, and I do not know much about the overall situation on the battlefield. In this case, it is naturally difficult for me to express any opinion.

It's just that I personally have a conservative opinion on the strategy you have adopted to replace offense with defense. At least in my opinion, I'm more interested in attacking instead of defending. Although the little devils are menacing, their forces are also there.

As long as I can bite them a few more bites, I believe that the hard-hit little devils will definitely dispel the idea of breaking through from us. If you have the chance, I think you can try it and put the little devil into Xinyang to fight.

At the moment, our resistance seems to be delaying the Japanese attack, but our attrition of our troops is also huge. The most important thing is that, as far as I know, at present, except for the 71st Army, the rest of the troops in the Fifth Theater are all replenished units.

The proportion of recruits is too high, and in the face of the attack of the little devils, both planes and artillery, we often use our lives to fill in the blockade. Fighting like this, although it can delay the time of the little devil, it cannot hit the little devil hard.

If we can find an opportunity to bite the little devil hard, maybe we don't have to wait for the little devil to fight. A proper counterattack, in my opinion, is still necessary. If Commander Li believes me, the counterattack can be done by our 67th Army! ”

Faced with He Zhengdao's words, Li Zongren really looked a little surprised. But he must admit that there is still some truth in what He Zhengdao said. But how easy is it to fight the counterattack of the little devils? (To be continued.) )
