During the war years, the victorious generals were often admired and admired, and they were also the most loved by ordinary soldiers. www.biquge.info For many young people who join the army, they like to follow the unit of General Chang Sheng.

Because entering such a unit not only gives you the opportunity to receive awards for meritorious service, but more importantly, you have a few more hopes of surviving. After all, war is merciless, and every battle takes a lot of lives.

Following a general or commander who will win a battle will also increase a lot of hope of surviving the battlefield. And He Zhengdao is undoubtedly a victorious general in the eyes of many ordinary soldiers in the Eighth Route Army, and a general worth following.

As far as Xiao Jinguang, who succeeded He Zhengdao, the commander of the army, is concerned, many officers and soldiers know that he is an old political commissar. Now the change from political commissar to army commander is somewhat strange. After all, the Eighth Route Army was a force under the responsibility of the political commissar.

In many cases, the commissar has more power than the military commander. Even during the war, divisional commanders often have a higher prestige in the troops than political commissars. But in the upper echelons of the military, the commissar often represents the party.

The principle that the party commands the gun is still not allowed to be shaken. Now that Xiao Jinguang has been reappointed from a political commissar to a military commander, it makes people feel as if he has been demoted and appointed. But some people feel that this is Xiao Jinguang's high hopes for Yan'an and the headquarters.

Even the person who is currently serving as the political commissar is Liu Shaoqi, the secretary of the Central China Bureau. But the military department and several main division commanders all knew that Xiao Jinguang had the final say in the affairs of the new 67th Army, and he could be regarded as the political commissar and army commander.

Although Zhang Cheng and others don't quite understand why He Zhengdao made such a decision. However, after receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, they still respected He Zhengdao's choice, and also understood that this was the army, not anyone's one-third of an acre.

Although the independent column and the new 67th Army in front of them were both troops pulled up by He Zhengdao. But Zhang Cheng and others also know that He Zhengdao is not the kind of general who likes to form a party for personal gain and support the army for self-respect.

On the contrary, after Xiao Jinguang returned, He Zhengdao also sent a telegram to the three main division commanders, asking them to cooperate with Xiao Jinguang's work, and at the same time appease the emotional veterans of each division, those military and political backbones who came out of the independent column.

All actions are subject to command, which is also the rule that He Zhengdao has always emphasized. And the principle that the party commands the gun, He Zhengdao also does not allow anyone to undermine it. Even when he was in office, he also respected and supported the work of Xiao Jinguang, the political commissar.

Now the New 67th Army has not been able to open up the situation for a long time, and can only bite the bullet to block the Japanese troops who are constantly reinforcing from Wuhan. At the same time, it is also necessary to deal with the little devils who did not leave Zhumadian and began to flank the new 67th Army on both sides.

It's just that as the war continued, the new 67th Army also began to feel tremendous pressure. In addition to the constant consumption of weapons, ammunition and materials, the wounded soldiers who were transferred to the rear every day also caused a heavy burden to the new 67th Army.

Although at present, Yulin has some special drugs that can be produced by itself. But such drug consumption is also a huge burden. At present, the export of drugs is actually a major pillar of Yan'an's income.

It is a matter of course that all the medicines produced will be used to help the wounded of the troops. However, such a practice will undoubtedly affect Yan'an's economic income, and will also delay capital investment in other aspects.

Although it was hoped that the headquarters could send additional reinforcements to the new 67th Army, Xiao Jinguang and others knew that it was actually quite difficult for the Eighth Route Army to open up two battlefields. Now entering the Henan battlefield, there are actually two new infantry divisions.

In the final analysis, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has grown rapidly, but there are still deficiencies in the foundation. In addition, weapons and ammunition come more from seizures, which is also an important reason for restricting the Eighth Route Army.

It is precisely because of this that Yan'an has also begun to consider replacing some units with independently produced weapons and equipment. In this way, it may also reduce the logistical pressure on the troops. But on the other hand, this is a lot of money.

After all, it is not an easy task to change the equipment of a unit. At present, the Eighth Route Army already has more than 500,000 troops, and it is not easy to replace these troops with independently produced equipment!

Xiao Jinguang, who understood that this deadlock must be broken as soon as possible, actually thought about asking He Zhengdao for advice. At least in his opinion, He Zhengdao is younger than them, and many of his ideas and combat modes are very different.

Now the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are fighting in Henan, and they are more offensive and defensive tactics. Although the commanders of each unit will have their own tactical deployments. But no matter what, it is difficult to turn the big situation around in such a large corps operation.

Perhaps it was Luo Ruiqing's suggestion, so Xiao Jinguang finally smiled bitterly: "Okay, when it comes to this, I don't feel ashamed." If he really has a good solution, we will see that he will be easy to do in the future. ”

For the new 67th Army, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly the pioneer, while Xiao Jinguang is the defender. As the defender and the founder of the new 67th Army, Xiao Jinguang naturally hopes to break this deadlock as soon as possible.

If it continues, Xiao Jinguang is also worried that the new 67th Army will be hit hard. In this way, the good situation that He Zhengdao laid down earlier may be destroyed. Then it's really hard for him to explain to He Zhengdao!

After all, he can be the commander of this army and even serve as some political commissars, which is more of He Zhengdao's strong recommendation. If he can't do well in Chengdu, Xiao Jinguang will also feel that he is quite embarrassed, and he is afraid that he will not have the face to see He Zhengdao in the future.

Accompanying Luo Ruiqing drafting a telegram and sending it to He Zhengdao, Ye Jianying, who came to deliver the telegram, also smiled and said: "Commander, it seems that even if you are no longer in the New Sixty-seventh Army, Lao Xiao and Lao Luo are still thinking of you!" ”

He Zhengdao, who had read the telegram, was also a little surprised: "During this time, I really didn't pay much attention to the situation on the battlefield in Henan. Chief of Staff, tell me what you know! Mr. Peng shouldn't have forwarded the battle situation on the front line for a while, right? ”

'I think Mr. Peng should also know that you are now in charge of the war in Shanxi, and I don't want to add too much pressure to you! However, now that Lao Xiao and the others have sent a telegram, the situation of the new 67th Army is indeed not optimistic.

Indeed, with only two main divisions, it was indeed difficult to resist the main forces of the Japanese army from the direction of Zhumadian and Wuhan. The most important thing is that the main force of the national * army is watching from the sidelines. If they can send troops, this situation will be broken. ’

Listening to Ye Jianying's words, He Zhengdao sneered: "If they could send troops, how could they wait until now." How could they miss this opportunity to kill the enemy and weaken us? Count on them, it's better to figure it out yourself!

Chief of Staff, please collect the recent situation on the battlefield in Henan for me, and you can send a telegram to Mr. Peng and Mr. Zuo for the latest situation, and ask them to send a letter to me for reference! ”

Perhaps in the eyes of others, He Zhengdao is a bit nosy. But Ye Jian should believe that Mr. Peng and they also hope to have a way to break the situation and end this situation of confrontation between the two armies as soon as possible.

When Ye Jianying sent the telegram to Mr. Peng, Zuo Quan, who received the telegram, also smiled and said: "It seems that Xiao He should know about the new 67th Army, and he will ask us for the latest information!" Boss, what do you think? ”

Send him a detailed battlefield intelligence, this kid is very good at fighting, and can often find out where the little devil's lethal location is. If he can really come up with a way to break the enemy, let him be in the limelight! ’

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Peng served as the commander-in-chief of the Henan Campaign, which is actually a love for He Zhengdao. If He Zhengdao does not step down from his post as commander of the new 67th Army, the commander of the Henan campaign should also be He Zhengdao.

After all, all the preparations for the Eighth Route Army were actually planned by He Zhengdao. Including the joint operations of various units, He Zhengdao single-handedly brought about it. In the final analysis, Mr. Peng also owes He Zhengdao a favor.

At present, the Shanxi campaign is coming to an end, but the Henan campaign is getting bigger and bigger, and Mr. Peng also feels a lot of pressure. After all, Yan'an and the headquarters are not rich, and they don't want to continue to drag on the war.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the campaign launched by the Eighth Route Army in Henan has also achieved considerable results. With these results, Yan'an and the headquarters are also very satisfied. Not to mention, they also eliminated a lot of little devils in this battle.

Even some cities bordering Shanxi have been recovered. In this way, their strategic frontiers in North China and Central China have undoubtedly taken another step forward, given a little more time to develop, and those base areas will also be reborn in the future.

As the telegram from Henan was sent to He Zhengdao's headquarters, he looked at the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army. He Zhengdao felt that the final breaking point should still be the Japanese army on the Zhumadian side.

Tu Feiyuan, an old devil, has to be said to be a Huaxia expert. He knew very well that at the moment, they were stationed in Zhumadian and did not need to take too much care of the main force of the national * army in Nanyang, they only needed to deal with the Eighth Route Army with all their might.

With such speculation, the 18th Division, where Tufeiyuan joined it, and an infantry brigade of the 13th Division, which was temporarily annexed by it, did fight very well in Zhumadian, so that the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army could not break through.

The Japanese troops from Wuhan were also attacking the Eighth Route Army in the Dabie Mountain area. As the base of the new 67th Army, the Xinyang area is also a key area for the Japanese army.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, as long as the new 67th Army stationed in Xinyang was defeated, the communication channel from Wuhan to Zhumadian was opened. They may be able to switch from defense to offense, re-march into Henan, and continue to advance the front to the vicinity of Zhengzhou.

After He Zhengdao studied the map for a long time, he finally came up with a strategy to break the enemy. After discussing it with Ye Jianying, the chief of staff also lit up and said: "If this plan is implemented, it is really possible to reverse the overall situation!" ”

When he said these words, Ye Jianying also really realized that He Zhengdao was indeed more thoughtful and bold than them in finding fighters and arranging combat plans. He won't miss any war resources he can use! (To be continued.) )
