It took him one night to write the battle plan he had thought of before returning to Yan'an, and the next day he handed over the battle plan in a document bag. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It didn't take long for the above to approve the implementation.

According to He Zhengdao's plan, most of the troops that needed to be mobilized in the plan to capture Taiyuan were only the anti-Japanese troops in Shanxi. As for the troops in North China and other places, they only need to do some blocking and coordinated battles.

As for the time when the battle started, He Zhengdao also chose to recover the Henan campaign. At that time, the troops that will be the main attack will also be in charge of the 3rd and 4th divisions of the original independent column. Of course, there is also a reconnaissance brigade under his command.

After obtaining the permission of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, even if the resolution on the formation of the Northeast Coalition Army has not yet come down. He Zhengdao had already prepared in advance for the upcoming battle to recover Taiyuan, and called the troops for mobilization.

In the name of coming to Yan'an to report on work, Wang Tianlin, who served as the commander of the Suichaji Military Region, arrived in Yan'an with a batch of supplies. When he arrived in Yan'an, He Zhengdao also personally greeted him outside Yan'an.

Looking at He Zhengdao, who had been waiting at the intersection for a long time, Wang Tianlin, who was also considered the general of the previous party, was still a little excited: "Commander! ”

'Lao Wang, it's been hard all the way! Recently, there have been a lot of things in the army, and I specially asked you to come to Yan'an, so sorry. ’

As the former chief of staff of the independent column, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly still very concerned about this old subordinate. The new 67th Army went south to Wuhan the previous time, and the work in Yulin and Suiyuan was basically the responsibility of the Suichaji Military Region.

Relying on the old foundation of the two main divisions retained by the independent column, the situation in Ulanqab and other places that were recovered last time has also developed well. At least the North China Front Army and the puppet Mongolian army were beaten back by Wang Tianlin's command several times when they tried to recover.

Gradually, the Japanese army seemed to acquiesce to the reality that Ulanqab was actually recovered by the Eighth Route Army. Even as the anti-Japanese war work of the Suichaji Military Region was going very smoothly, the Japanese puppet army still stationed in Zhangjiakou was a little worried.

After He Zhengdao led his troops to leave, Mr. Zhu also personally took charge of the work of the Suichaji Military Region. Fortunately, Wang Tianlin and Yao Shengjun are doing a good job, and they can be regarded as earning face for He Zhengdao, the old chief.

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Wang Tianlin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Commander, if you say this, you will slap me in the face." If you can come to Yan'an this time, the political commissars are envious! Those guys below are envious that I can come and report to you!

By the way, when I came, everyone knew that the commander was about to get married, so I specially prepared some gifts for me to pass on on my behalf. Please rest assured, commander, everyone knows your temper, and what you send is not valuable. ”

Facing Wang Tianlin's explanation, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Okay, everything has been brought, can I still not accept it?" Forget it, this time the central government sent you a telegram asking you to come to Yan'an to report your work in person, which is actually just a cover.

As for the real task of your trip, I will explain it to you myself later. It's just that I want to know, what is the current state of expansion of the troops? In addition, what about the troops' reserves of combat readiness materiel? ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Tianlin's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Commander, is there a big operation?" ”

Perhaps it was infected with He Zhengdao's temperament, and most of the division commanders and commanders who came out of the independent column liked to fight big battles. The more difficult the task, the more these people like to find it challenging.

Moreover, the independent column is one of the few troops in the Eighth Route Army that has fought many major battles. Therefore, for some large-scale battles, they also have more experience than other main forces.

At present, the central authorities are about to convene the first large-scale military-political conference, and the troops of all sides have been instructed to ensure stability in the base areas as much as possible and not to lightly provoke any incidents. If there is any big battle, we will wait until the end of the meeting.

Such an order still feels somewhat constrained by Wang Tianlin, a commander who is eager to go to the battlefield. At least He Zhengdao is clear that some time ago, the Suichaji Military Region submitted a plan to the headquarters to attack Zhangjiakou.

However, the plan was eventually shelved. The reason is that both the central government and the headquarters feel that the time is ripe to recover Zhangjiakou. Most importantly, the North China Front seems to attach great importance to Zhangjiakou.

Once the reconquest campaign is launched, I am afraid that the North China Front will also pour out. At that time, this reconquest campaign around Zhangjiakou may turn into a decisive battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in North China.

If this situation really opens, it will undoubtedly be very unfavorable for the current Eighth Route Army. In the final analysis, the war is still about resources and rear supplies. In this regard, the Eighth Route Army could not be compared with the Japanese army at all.

In many cases, He Zhengdao and the Suichaji Military Region's development proposal was to adopt a cannibalization strategy. It is better to expand village by village than to be so greedy that the troops cannot digest the fruits of victory.

In fact, this strategy of encroachment could also have the effect of paralyzing the Japanese army. But after a long period of accumulation, the little devil will suddenly find that in addition to the county seat, the surrounding occupied areas seem to have become the base of the Eighth Route Army.

In terms of the strategy of dealing with the North China Front, the overall strategy adopted by the Eighth Route Army was also the same as that of 'boiling a frog in warm water'. It makes the North China Front feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't make these little devils feel that they are in danger.

Of course, when using this strategy, you should also occasionally give the little devil a little surprise. Once the little devils dare to invade the base area, they must let them know what it means to 'steal chickens and rice'.

Looking at Wang Tianlin's happy expression, He Zhengdao scolded with a smile: "Old Wang, you are also a general now, don't think about fighting a big battle all day long, you have to care more about the development of the army."

I'll tell you, if I don't feel satisfied with the development of the troops, then the next combat mission will be nothing for you. Don't talk nonsense, the advanced city reports to the chairman and the commander-in-chief, and I will tell you the specific tasks when I arrive. ”

Wang Tianlin, who was laughed and scolded, was afraid that he couldn't scratch his heart, but he didn't want to say anything more. At least he knows one thing, that is, the Suichaji Military Region will have a big operation next, and presumably the main combat force will also have a chance to fight another big battle.

Even if a big battle would lead to a lot of losses in the troops, Wang Tianlin also believed that they could gain a lot of things. In particular, the troops that are currently being expanded are also in urgent need of a major war for tempering and baptism.

Troops that have not experienced actual combat tests, no matter how large the number is, is not a top matter. followed He Zhengdao all the way to form an independent column, and Wang Tianlin still learned a lot from He Zhengdao.

Even in the current Suicha-Ji Military Region, the combat effectiveness of all combat units is undoubtedly relatively high among the military subdivisions. In the final analysis, these should be thanks to He Zhengdao's solid foundation for the troops.

Arriving at the station where the central government is located, Wang Tianlin, accompanied by He Zhengdao's guards, reported the work of the Suichaji Military Region to **** and Mr. Zhu and others in turn. The two leaders fully affirmed the situation in the Suicha-Ji Military Region.

Even when reporting to Mr. Zhu, the commander-in-chief was very satisfied: "Comrade Tianlin, the real intention of letting you report to Yan'an this time is that you have new tasks in the future.

The specific tasks will be announced to you by Comrade Jeong-do at that time. I also hope that you, the Suicha-Ji Military Region, will be able to shoulder the heavy burden and continue to cooperate well with the work of your veteran leaders. As for what the task is, you will know when you meet Comrade Zhengdao. ”

After listening to Mr. Zhu's words, Wang Tianlin said with a little surprise: "Commander-in-chief, is our commander going to be transferred back?" ”

In Wang Tianlin's view, since their military region wants to cooperate with He Zhengdao's actions, there is only one possibility, and He Zhengdao may not return to Central China to take charge of the work of the new 67 th Army, and then there will definitely be new appointments.

Being able to fight with He Zhengdao's side, Wang Tianlin naturally felt much more relaxed. In fact, during the period when he was the commander of the Suichaji Military Region, Wang Tianlin also really felt that the position of commander was really not easy to serve.

If it weren't for the good foundation that He Zhengdao reserved for his subordinates, it is estimated that he, the commander, would also be anxious. If there is a chance to continue to fight with He Zhengdao, Wang Tianlin believes that both he and the troops under him will be happy for it.

Seeing that Wang Tianlin had realized the fact that He Zhengdao would return to Yulin, Mr. Zhu also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I believe that you should know about this situation in a short time."

However, you must also keep this matter secret after you go back. Except for Comrade Yao Shengjun, other people also tried not to say anything. Before the central authorities and the headquarters make a formal appointment, this information must be kept secret. ”

'Yes, rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will keep it a secret!' ’

Looking at Wang Tianlin, who was a little excited, Mr. Zhu, as the commander-in-chief, also admired He Zhengdao's personality charm. Speaking of which, Wang Tianlin and these people are all much older than He Zhengdao, but they admire this young commander very much.

If He Zhengdao didn't have any skills, how could he make these old subordinates trust and respect him so much?

After reporting on his work, Wang Tianlin also became the first officer to step into He Zhengdao's new home among the many old subordinates of the independent column. This situation is also aware that He Zhengdao is also in a league of his own in the army.

It is believed that the officers who go out of the independent column in the future will also be labeled as He Zhengdao. Even in the party and the army, it is strictly forbidden to engage in any small clique. But in fact, this situation has always existed and cannot be prohibited.

It seems that the current independent column may have existed for a relatively short time. However, taking into account the entire Eighth Route Army, the number of officers and men separated from the independent column was actually quite large. This kind of seed that is sown will also bear abundant fruit in the future.

With more veteran subordinates in the army and more descendants in important positions, He Zhengdao's prestige in the army can continue to improve. Perhaps this is also why He Zhengdao is willing to give more opportunities to some qualified old subordinates.

Compared with the commanders of some units, they are reluctant to let their right-hand men leave. He Zhengdao felt that the old subordinates should be encouraged and supported for better development. Only in this way can his prestige in the army continue to increase! (To be continued.) )
