He Zhengdao, who was organizing the collection of materials and the demolition of the factory in Baotou City, received a telegram from Zhu Yue's team, and also knew that the Japanese troops on the Guisui side wanted to come. Even if you send cavalry, I'm afraid you won't be able to arrive until the day after tomorrow.

As for tomorrow's daytime, the only thing that the independent column needs to pay attention to is the puppet Mongolian cavalry division from the direction of Guyang. For such a puppet army force, He Zhengdao believes that if they want to get close to Baotou, it must be unlikely.

This time, the first division was the main force of the attack, and the reconnaissance brigade was responsible for cooperating. The total number of troops, also close to 20,000. With such troops in hand, how could He Zhengdao worry about a pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division guarding Guyang?

Hearing the news from the airport that the supplies at the airport had been loaded, He Zhengdao quickly issued an order: "Keep a reconnaissance battalion and a saber squad to protect the pilots at the airport, and the rest of the personnel will all return to the city."

As for the materials that have already been loaded, they will be transported to Yulin immediately, and there is no need to stay in Daqingshan. In particular, not a single barrel of aviation fuel stored at the airport was transported back to Yulin as reserve fuel, and the rest of the materials were handed over to the political commissar for classified storage. ”

Before the convoy left the airport, the little devil planes parked at the airport were also filled with fuel. If it weren't for He Zhengdao's strict order, all the bombs carried by the bombers would have been pulled away and not allowed to load and take off, and it is estimated that some pilots would have wanted to try to load bombs.

Only the fighter, He Zhengdao still let it load the ammunition. In doing so, I was also worried that I would run into a plane of little devils in the air when I flew to Yulin tomorrow. It's unlikely, but it's good to be prepared.

Compared with bombers carrying bombs, if the pilots make some name for themselves, it is estimated that Yulin will also suffer heavy losses. Even the pilots brought this time. All of them have undergone rigorous training and political education.

But in these days, it is common for pilots to defect. The planes were finally captured. He Zhengdao really didn't want to see that these planes did not fly to Yulin. But they flew directly to the control area of other warlords.

After looking at the time, it was already early in the morning, He Zhengdao looked at Sun Shicheng beside him and said: "Send a telegram to the Central Committee and the headquarters!" Let me tell you about our current situation, as well as the possibility of withdrawing from Baotou tomorrow night.

As for the good news this time, I hope that the headquarters will announce it to the public when we withdraw from Baotou. In addition, it was also informed that the Japanese city defense officer in Baotou was killed. The rest of the Japanese troops stationed in Baotou were also killed by our troops.

About battle damage as well as capture. Briefly explain to the central government and the headquarters. Also, remember to send a report to the political commissar that once the plane lands at the airport tomorrow, it must be towed into the cave hangar that we repaired in advance. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

When the telegram was sent back to the central government in Yan'an, as well as to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an, the attendants in charge of receiving the telegram were very excited. This was the second good news from the independent column in three days.

In addition to this, this is also the second major general killed by the independent column in three days. Got the news. Mao Taizu, who was woken up overnight, also looked very happy. After all, two victories in two battles really boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War!

'Good! Archive this telegram with news about the good news of the telegram. It is still handed over to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The highest level of secrecy is still maintained for the contents of tonight's telegram. The people in the telecommunications room must keep their mouths shut. ’

'Yes. Chairman! I translated the telegram myself, and no one else knew about it! ’

'Good. Then wait a minute, you send a telegram to Mr. Zhu, and say that everything will be done according to what Master He said. These two battles were fought. I'm afraid that the little devils will definitely target the independent column. When the independent column withdraws at that time, they must be cautious. ’

'Yes, Chairman! I'll forward your meaning to the independent column later! ’

Despite serving as the chairman of the Military Commission of the Eighth Route Army, Mao Taizu still did not interfere too much in some things. At least judging from the current situation, He Zhengdao still did a good job, and everything was sent by the central government and the headquarters.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an, the telecommunications room was also manned 24 hours a day. After receiving a telegram from the independent column, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan were also woken up and gathered in the operational command room.

Looking at the detailed report sent by He Zhengdao, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan also said in disbelief: "It's really unbelievable that in less than one night, the independent column took Baotou City with only one main division." ”

Mr. Zhu, who listened to Zuo Quan's sigh, said with a smile: "Zuo Quan, you shouldn't have been to the independent column, and you haven't seen that reconnaissance brigade." It can be said that it is the most elite brigade in the whole army, and the ordinary soldiers of this brigade can at least serve as a platoon commander when they are delegated.

In this reconnaissance brigade, He Zhengdao specially selected some short officers and soldiers to teach them to speak Japanese and familiarize themselves with the Japanese army's combat mode. Even the weapons and uniforms equipped with them are also those of the Japanese army.

This battalion is extremely secret in the reconnaissance brigade, and it was also trained by He Zhengdao himself. If they were pulled in front of the other warlords, no one would have suspected that they were scouts of the independent column.

In terms of arranging troops, He Zhengdao is really good at winning by surprise. In this night attack on Baotou City, their losses were undoubtedly much lighter than the previous Suixi Defense Battle. But the results are not inferior to the previous defense battles.

Most importantly, they killed a second Japanese major general. This is very rare in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War. When this news is announced, the little devil is afraid that he will hate him to the bone! ”

Facing Mr. Zhu's worries, Mr. Peng also nodded and said, "Indeed!" This time, although the independent column adopted the method of surprise attack, Baotou City was occupied. But if you want to hold Baotou City, I'm afraid it's impossible.

The most important thing is that after these two battles, the little devils will definitely target us. But in this situation, if we want to develop, we will inevitably make an enmity with the little devils. As long as He Zhengdao holds up, this may not be a good thing.

There is a way that heroes come out of troubled times, and now the morale of the domestic anti-Japanese fighters is sluggish, whether it is our army or other troops, and even the people of the whole country, they are eager to have a hero stand up. And Xiao He undoubtedly has this potential.

I think it is necessary to talk to Xiao Jinguang and Wang Tianlin, it is best to let He Zhengdao have at least one saber special operations team guard by his side every time he travels. For our army, he is really too important now. ”

In Mr. Peng's opinion, whether it is a little devil or the Central Army in Nanjing, I am afraid that they will want to get rid of He Zhengdao with such a high combat quality. And it is also very necessary to protect He Zhengdao.

If it weren't for the fact that the independent column is inseparable from He Zhengdao at present, in fact, the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would more hope that He Zhengdao would serve as a military instructor or the person in charge of the arsenal of Kang Da. In these two positions, He Zhengdao also plays a great role.

But the current situation is that the independent column is very dependent on He Zhengdao. As for the Eighth Route Army, it is indeed necessary for such a leading figure to support the banner of the Eighth Route Army. The more victories there were, the more the people trusted the Eighth Route Army.

After listening to Mr. Peng's suggestion, Mr. Zhu also nodded and said, "It is indeed necessary!" Wait a moment to explain to the central power generation, we must explain to the saber special combat team, and do a good job in the safety and security of He Zhengdao.

Secondly, when the independent column returns to Yulin, Zuo Quan, you will work hard to go to Yulin. First, on behalf of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, I would like to express my condolences to them, and secondly, I will have a good chat with Xiao He, I believe you will have a common topic.

Most importantly, ask He Zhengdao about the establishment of an aviation school. Previously, he recruited those pilots of the Northeast Army, and I thought it was unlikely that he wanted to capture the little devil's plane. Now it seems that I really underestimated him.

From every step of his current deployment, it seems that he is steadily advancing. Now it seems that I am afraid that for the upcoming battle of Xinkou, the situation should not be too optimistic, and it will be difficult for Taiyuan to hold it!

When you go over this time, you may also discuss with him about the situation of the war in Shanxi. If necessary, the four main divisions that we are currently advancing into Shanxi will also cooperate with his actions at that time.

What needs to be done on the headquarters side, let him also come up with a specific combat plan. It must not be an easy thing to snatch food from the tiger's mouth of a little devil. But if we can move the Shanxi Arsenal to Yulin, it will be too important for us. ”

As the two telegrams from the headquarters and the central government were sent to Xiao Jinguang, Xiao Jinguang also knew about the explanation between the central government and the headquarters. After these two battles, He Zhengdao is only afraid that he will become a thorn in the side of the little devil.

It is also common for little devils to suffer losses on the battlefield, and little devils secretly play tricks. It seems that it is really necessary to raise the level of He Zhengdao's defense now. But the problem is that He Zhengdao may not follow this kind of security regulations!

Whether it is a reconnaissance brigade or a saber special combat team, they are all troops taught by He Zhengdao. For the officers and men of these two troops, even if they don't need orders, they will swear to protect He Zhengdao's safety to the death.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there is an elite guard division on the central side to protect it, and the headquarters side has also sent a main division to serve as a guard force. Even in the headquarters organs, a saber special operations detachment was stationed for a long time.

With the saber special combat team, the role shown on the battlefield, as well as the performance of the previous Xi'an 22 incident. The headquarters is also very supportive, and the saber special combat team is selected every six months.

In addition, outstanding grassroots officers and men were selected throughout the army to go to the training camps for trial training. Although the proportion of elimination is still very high. However, even if the officers and men who are eventually eliminated back to their original units will be reused by their superiors.

The reason is that during the six-month trial training of the training unit, not to mention the tremendous improvement in the combat skills of these officers and men, there has also been great progress in their operational thinking and ideological quality compared with before.

It can be said that at present, the guard battalions of all divisions after reorganization are all served as the main backbone or commanders by these eliminated officers and men who have been eliminated for trial training. These people, in the face of a critical situation, play a role that is also not something that ordinary troops can achieve! (To be continued.) )
