When the war in southern Anhui was in full swing, the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi also began to prepare for the New Year. Perhaps the new commander of the North China Front has not yet arrived, and the air raid that was originally speculated does not seem to have happened.

The various units of the Shanxi Dispatch Army, which borders the Eighth Route Army, seem to be able to feel that the New Year is approaching, and the movements of the Eighth Route Army seem to be much smaller. This made Itagaki Seishiro, who is currently suffering from a shortage of troops, also feel relieved.

The Zhengtai Railway, which was bombed in the previous Battle of New Taiyuan, is still under urgent repair. However, looking at the current progress of restoration, it will take at least a few months before the railway connecting Shanxi and North China can be completed.

Compared with the war in the south, which was still going on, the Central China Front Army attacked southern Anhui and other places in addition to attacking southern Anhui. This made Lao Jiang, who originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, could only strictly order the troops to block the edge of the Japanese army.

Although the previous decapitation battle in Nanjing made the Central China Front lose a lot of face. But at present, the Central China Front Army is arranging the campaign of the New Fourth Army to encircle and suppress southern Anhui, while the other main force is also advancing into Bengbu and other places in Anhui.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which had always belonged to the North China Front, also launched an attack on Shandong. Regarding the Japanese army's intention to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and connect the two battlefields of North China and Central China, the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army also paid close attention to it.

On the other hand, He Zhengdao, who was far away in Yulin, received the information from the headquarters and quickly made a judgment that the Japanese army would attack Xuzhou. In fact, for the postponement of the Battle of Xuzhou, He Zhengdao also really realized that his arrival really changed a lot of history.

In the face of such a situation, Lao Jiang, who also felt a little nervous with the troops in his hands, was also hesitant to transfer the Eighth Route Army into Shandong to fight. But in the eyes of many generals of the national army, it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God.

The most important thing is that in the war in southern Anhui, which is currently begining, the Central Army first placed the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army sent a message hoping that the Central Army in Anhui would be able to cooperate with the New Fourth Army in the operation.

Now, they want the Eighth Route Army to fight with them, how can Lao Jiang speak?

Considering that the next war is also likely to burn to the areas bordering Henan and Shaanxi, He Zhengdao suggested to the headquarters. Guerrillas can be dispatched to begin their activities in Henan to prepare for the next battle in Henan.

Even if He Zhengdao is clear, this may attract the vigilance of the Central Army stationed in Henan. But in his opinion, once the Battle of Xuzhou started, the location of Henan was very important. The Eighth Route Army also needed to expand its base area a little more.

In addition, the troops to be rotated next year can completely replace the main division of the Eighth Route Army currently in Shanxi, or simply advance directly into North China. In the occupied areas such as Hebei and Shandong, base areas behind enemy lines were established.

As for the plan of the independent column for next year, it will also propose a base area behind enemy lines in Jinchaji. In order to recover Suiyuan and Datong in the future, prepare for the front of the troops to aim at Rehe, Chahar and other places. In this way, the security of the Shaanxi base area can also be effectively guaranteed.

When the war in southern Anhui had begun, He Zhengdao, who was far away in Yulin, received a telegram from a special operations detachment heading to Beiping. The hoeing team composed of the second detachment has successfully arrived in Beiping City.

Compared with the special operations detachment sent to southern Anhui, it was to retaliate for the crimes committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing. This special operations detachment that entered Beiping was a retaliatory action against the previous bombing of Yan'an by the North China Front.

The task of the special operations detachment that went to Peiping was to assassinate the Provisional Government of the North China Civilian State, which had just been supported by the North China Front. In He Zhengdao's view, these hardcore traitors and traitors deserve to be killed more than little devils.

Even if these people are killed, the little devil will support others to come to power. But in He Zhengdao's view, as long as these high-ranking officials of the puppet government are killed, I believe that they can also deter a group of businessmen and celebrities who are swaying from side to side and have some influence in the Republic of China.

At least let these people know that hugging the thighs of little devils is also a high-risk thing. Once they become infamous, the special operations detachment that will be called the 'Eighth Route Army Hoe Rape Team' will come to them to ask for their lives.

Looking at the telegram sent, He Zhengdao said directly: "The second detachment of the telegram order, in addition to assassinating these big traitors this time, can also create some chaos in Beiping, so that the little devils know the consequences of provoking us."

After the assassination mission was completed, the special operations detachment remembered to reconnoiter the troop movements of the Japanese troops in North China and the task of garrisoning troops in various places during the process of returning. The next battle plan will be instructed after the completion of this mission. ”

With He Zhengdao's order, the second saber detachment that infiltrated Beiping City also began to reconnoiter these high-ranking officials of the puppet government. In the course of the reconnaissance, the special combat team members sensitively discovered that there seemed to be another group of people who were also monitoring these people.

When the telegram came back, He Zhengdao said directly: "Inform the second detachment, don't disturb these people. If nothing else, these people should be members of the Central Army Reconstruction Society. There are people who hate these big traitors more than we do!

Next, keep an eye on the actions of these Renaissance Society members, and if they carry out an assassination operation, they can give a covert response. Even when these traitors were eradicated in the later stage, the credit could also be put on the head of the Fuxing Society.

This kind of credit, although it helps to increase our visibility. But for now, it's better for us to keep a low profile. Since there is a Fuxing Society to carry this pot for us, why don't we be adults and be beautiful! ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, political commissar Xiao Jinguang said with a little puzzlement: "In that case, then why do we send a special operations team to Beiping to hoe rape?" Isn't this a warning and revenge for the little devils? ”

Facing Xiao Jinguang's words, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "Political commissar, do you think that with the virtue of a little devil, they will be afraid of this kind of revenge?" In my opinion, as long as we can achieve the goal, there are places where we can be less in the limelight.

Although putting the credit on the head of the Fuxing Society will make this spy organization famous. But correspondingly, the Japanese army's spy organizations in Beiping and North China will definitely make every effort to attack the intelligence station of the Fuxing Society in North China.

In a sense, we have achieved our goal, except for the loss of a little fame. In any case, there is still a considerable gap between the strength of our party and our army in North China and that of the North China Front.

Most importantly, let's not forget that the Japanese army also had a much stronger Kwantung Army unit in the northeast. I dare to say that the unit that will fight our independent column in the future is probably the Kwantung Army, which is known as the strongest Japanese army.

Therefore, the less people know about the saber special combat team, the better. What's more, as long as the little devils occupy such a large part of North China, I believe that there are still people who are willing to praise their stinky feet, and traitors will not be able to kill them in a short time. ”

As a special force of the Eighth Route Army, in He Zhengdao's opinion, if it is unnecessary, this force cannot be exposed casually. This is also the reason why only a very small number of people know about the saber at the moment.

Another thing He Zhengdao has always been wary of is that after learning about the combat mode of the special forces, the little devil believes that he will vigorously develop this kind of elite troops. Therefore, the longer this killer feature is hidden, the better.

After He Zhengdao forwarded the information to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and reported his thoughts to the Central Committee and the Headquarters. Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu both agreed, affirming He Zhengdao's approach.

Even in this telegram, He Zhengdao said that the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines could develop armed engineering units behind enemy lines on the basis of the existing guard units of each division, and go deep into the countryside to lead and guide the war of resistance.

Such a remark, a backbone who served as a squad platoon in the divisional guard unit and reconnaissance unit. If you are sent to a guerrilla unit, you may be able to become a guerrilla captain. At the same time, this guerrilla force will be brought on the road to the regular troops.

When the time comes, these guerrillas can also take on the main force and play a greater role behind enemy lines. It seems that the main divisions have lost a lot of military backbones, but in fact they have gained more guerrilla units with improved combat effectiveness.

And this proposal was quickly recognized by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Compared with sending large troops deep into some dangerous enemy-occupied areas, sending such a military engineering team composed of military backbones into enemy lines will have a much smaller chance of being exposed.

In addition, these armed engineering units went deep behind enemy lines, which could better control and guide the guerrillas formed in various places. When fighting against small Japanese puppet forces, the guerrillas will also have more chances of victory.

In this way, under the advocacy of He Zhengdao, the Wugong Team, a special force belonging to the Eighth Route Army, also entered the formation in advance. The decentralization of these elite regular army military cadres has also helped to enhance the combat strength of the guerrilla areas.

On the other hand, the independent column, on the other hand, has been doing this for a long time. At present, there is at least one squad of military backbone of the guerrillas active behind enemy lines in Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and Datong. And the combat effectiveness of these guerrillas caused more than a headache for the local Japanese puppet army.

It can be said that the existence of these guerrillas behind enemy lines made the Japanese puppet troops stationed in various cities in Shanxi seldom concentrate on dealing with the regular troops of the independent column that confronted them head-on. In a sense, the partisans shared the pressure on the regular army.

If this model can be popularized among the guerrillas under the jurisdiction of the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao believes that it will cause even more headaches for the Japanese troops in North China. In the same way, it can also train more soldiers who are proficient in guerrilla warfare for the Eighth Route Army.

As an advocate and practitioner of guerrilla warfare, Mao Taizu undoubtedly recognized He Zhengdao's suggestion. Frontal combat combined with guerrilla warfare is the most suitable operational principle for the Eighth Route Army at present.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also felt that it was very necessary to forward the guidance document for the establishment of armed engineering teams behind enemy lines, and to several main divisions in enemy-occupied areas. With these military backbones, they can also form effective control over the guerrillas.

In any case, the guerrillas were also one of the formations belonging to the Eighth Route Army. If the guerrillas lose control of their management, the common people will also think that this is the fault of the Eighth Route Army. For this reason, several division commanders feel that this suggestion is very necessary! (To be continued.) )
