The commanders and fighters of the Eastern Hebei Military Sub-district undoubtedly welcomed the visit of He Zhengdao and his entourage. Even many people www.biquge.info a little surprised by the arrival of the new political commissar and political director.

But everyone knows that this appointment was issued by the Central Committee and the General Headquarters. In addition, their most trusted commander, He Zhengdao, also personally sent these two people over to take office.

From this special care, no matter how stupid people are, it is clear that He Zhengdao is supporting the two new leaders of the column. If they don't cooperate, then even here in He Zhengdao, I am afraid that they will not be spared easily.

On the second day after arriving in eastern Hebei, He Zhengdao asked Xu Mingyuan, in the name of the commander of the third column, to convene the 18 main regiment commanders and political commissars under his command to come to the temporary headquarters of the column for a meeting.

Regarding such a situation, Xu Mingyuan said somewhat worriedly: "Commander, it should be more convenient for several main regiments nearby to come over." But at the moment, some of our main regiments are deployed on the front line, what should they do when they come back to the front line? ”

'What? A main regiment, without a regiment commander and political commissar, the other officers don't know how to fight? A telegram was sent to the commanders and political commissars of all the main regiments to attend the reorganization meeting.

At this time, as long as we don't move, the little devil doesn't dare to move at all. Don't look at your column, caught between the little devils. But in fact, your strategic position is very important, and the little devils dare not act rashly.

If they really had the strength to deal with you, they wouldn't let you stay here like this. Rest assured, there's a reason for letting them come back. Anyway, if the troops are to be downsized, then the battlefield will be judged on the high and low.

If the main force regiment fights well, it will be given priority to obtain the qualification of the main force of the main division. The three main regiments fought the best, their regiment commanders and political commissars, I will let them be the acting division commanders and division political commissars, so it's always fair, right? ’

As soon as these words came out, political commissar Han Xianchu also nodded in agreement: "Not bad!" Since it is the selection of the main force, it is natural to choose the main force regiment with strong combat effectiveness. In this way, it can also ensure that after the reorganization of the troops, the combat effectiveness of the troops will not decline! ”

On the other hand, when Xu Mingyuan heard this, he said thoughtfully and excitedly: "Commander, you want to give us a new combat order?" At this time, can we take the initiative to go to war? ”

'Why not?' Compared to our troops, which can be reorganized while fighting, the little devils can also slowly accumulate strength. The more time they are given to prepare, the greater the cost will be for our troops to destroy them in the future.

What's more, I have plans to take advantage of such a rare opportunity to really advance the offensive camp of our Northeast Field Army to the Shanhai Pass, and only by stepping into the boundaries of the Northeast can we be regarded as a veritable Northeast Field Army.

The Chengde and Xilin Gol Leagues and other places that have been laid down at present are, in the final analysis, areas under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army. But in fact, most of these places were in charge of the puppet Mongolian and puppet Manchu governments, and the Kwantung Army was more just a staff officer.

Only when our troops really penetrate the territory of the northeast, or even the territory of Mukden, can we truly advance into the northeast. Always wandering around outside the gate, the little devils outside the gate still think that we are not capable of hitting the outside of the gate! ’

Just when Han Xianchu was about to speak, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Old Han, you and Director Li have just been transferred from other troops, and I am afraid that you don't know much about the situation between the Three Columns and Jidong.

Taking advantage of this opportunity of selection and reorganization, you can also really understand the situation of some of the main regiments. When your three main divisions are formed, I will also fight for you for the weapons and ammunition that can be equipped with other columns.

However, no matter how the troops are reorganized, the tasks of your three columns in the future will be very heavy. It can even be said that whether or not you can gain a firm foothold here is directly related to the success of our troops in recovering the northeast, and it can also be said that it is a great responsibility.

I don't need to say more, just look at the map and you'll find out. The current location of the three verticals is in the coastal zone in many places. This means that you will have to deal not only with the army of the little devils, but also with the navy of the devils.

At present, our navy is almost zero, and in your defense area, there should be many veterans and craftsmen who are familiar with the situation of the navy and shipbuilding. These people are the focus of your column's next recruitment.

Even now, we don't even have a small fishing boat. But I believe that soon generals, it is inconvenient for us to form a strong air force, even if it is the navy, we must catch up with the little devils as soon as possible, understand? ”

With He Zhengdao's words, Han Xianchu also knew for the first time that He Zhengdao's ambition was so there. But it is undeniable that he agrees with He Zhengdao's words that if the Eighth Route Army wants to rise strong, the navy is indispensable.

Without a strong navy, the security of the coastal line cannot be guaranteed. The inability to guarantee the safety of the coastal defense line also means that the little devils can carry out artillery bombardment or landing from any port and coastal city in China.

Thinking about the formation of a navy now is also necessary in Han Xianchu, at least he admires He Zhengdao's advanced strategic vision. If it were someone else, I am afraid that the issue of forming a navy would not be considered at all.

After all, compared to the formation of a strong army force, the time and money required to form an air force and navy are far beyond their imagination. But things are man-made, as long as you dare to think about it, there will always be gains.

'Commander, are you going to attack the Qinhuangdao area next?' ’

After listening to He Zhengdao's words, as the commander of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, Xu Mingyuan's first reaction was to attack Qinhuangdao. There is a well-established port there, and if it is used as a military port, I am afraid it is also very suitable.

Facing Xu Mingyuan's inquiry, He Zhengdao directly laughed and scolded: "You kid, if this is bigger in the north, will there be a port in Qinhuangdao?" Even if we can take down there, what are you going to do to guard the port now?

The power of the little devil's naval guns, even if you haven't seen it, but you should have heard of it, right? Without large-caliber fortress artillery and a powerful air force, we would not be able to hold any ports at all. So, don't worry about the port for a while.

As for where to hit next, we need to make a good calculation. This time, send out all the 18 main regiments of your military division. Together with the troops I have brought with me, it should open up a new situation.

If nothing else, at least the little devils around your column must be cleaned up. In this case, it will be of great significance in the future, whether we recover North China or attack Northeast China. ”

Even though he already had some drafts in his heart when he came, He Zhengdao did not directly announce the battle order. On the contrary, he still hoped to have a discussion with Xu Mingyuan and the newly arrived Han Xianchu, and finally formulate the battle order.

In this way, it is also to establish the prestige of the newly formed Third Column Command. With the help of this operation, Han Xianchu, the new political commissar, also took a step to gain the approval of the officers and men of the column, and will cooperate with his work in the future.

As the saying goes, 'a mule is a horse, and it must be pulled out to slip away', how can the new political commissar who has come to Zadao not show some convincing command and management ability, and how can he be recognized by his subordinates?

On the night of arriving at the Three Verticals, He Zhengdao tasted a reception banquet of the Three Verticals. In the evening of the same day, he discussed the next battle plan with the four main responsible persons of the Third Column, and waited for the arrival of the commanders of the main forces.

After receiving the telegram from Xu Mingyuan, no matter whether they were the main regiment commander and political commissar of the reserve in the rear, or the main regiment commander and political commissar in the front line, they all rushed to the place where the headquarters was located without exception.

Taking advantage of the fact that it would take some time for these people to come back, He Zhengdao also worked with Han Xianchu and Xu Mingyuan to improve the battle plan as much as possible. After all, once the battle starts, it means that it is not a small battle.

According to He Zhengdao's operational arrangements, the target to be attacked by the three columns this time is not just one, but the troops are divided into three routes to carry out joint operations. And the places of attack are the key areas that are still guarded by the little devils.

Among them, there is the Tangshan area, which is currently guarded by the North China Front, and the Qinhuangdao area, which is guarded by the remnants of the Eastern Army and the navy. In addition, there is another area that He Zhengdao is personally responsible for, which is the Shanhaiguan area heavily guarded by the Japanese army.

Among them, the operational command of the Tangshan area was personally commanded by Xu Mingyuan, who is currently temporarily acting as commander of the Third Column. The offensive operations in Qinhuangdao will be in charge of political commissar Han Xianchu, and He Zhengdao will also cooperate with him in command.

For such help, Han Xianchu is naturally very grateful. Even if he has seniority in the party, Han Xianchu is older than He Zhengdao. But Han Xianchu also knows very well that this young commander is indeed not simple.

At least when it comes to dealing with people, his approach is still very old-fashioned. This time, the newly arrived political director will also work with the chief of staff of the Third Column and the local government to complete the logistical work of coordinating with the main force in combat.

A batch of materials urgently transferred from the logistics department of the field army has also begun to be distributed to various units one after another. It can be said that in this battle, the three columns will directly take the lead, and the other troops will be responsible for cooperating.

After formulating the operational plan, He Zhengdao, in the name of the commander of the field army, made a report to the Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Regarding He Zhengdao's proposal to use this operation to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, the Central Committee also agreed.

After all, if the Eighth Route Army can really recover these areas, then it will also be of great benefit to enhance the prestige of the Eighth Route Army. At least it also gave a wake-up call to the Chinese army, and even those navies.

That is, even without a strong navy, the Eighth Route Army can still recover the port city occupied by the little devils. Even if they can't defend it, they must make it impossible for the little devils to operate the ports they occupy with peace of mind.

In Taizu's words, if you knock out a port occupied by the little devils, the little devils will have one less outlet to the sea to rob Huaxia materials. In addition, foreigners who wish to trade with China may also feel that this is an opportunity.

At that time, the little devils and these foreign governments believed that they would also fall into greater controversy over the interests of China. In time, it may be the time for the little devil to completely fall out with a foreign government! (To be continued.) )
