The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was also concerned about the situation in Suiyuan, received a telegram from He Zhengdao that the independent column had counterattacked, and was still surprised by He Zhengdao's rapid transition from defense to offense. But it can also be seen from this that the independent column is strong.

Compared with other main divisions, although they have been expanded to varying degrees. But similar to the independent column, it now has five infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions, and it is really the only one.

It's just that both the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are very supportive of the expansion of the independent column. The stronger the independent column, the stronger their combat effectiveness. Whatever one may say, the separate column also has its special side.

In addition to its own rapid development in recent years, the independent column under the dual command of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army has also fed back a lot of things to the troops of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army. For such a force, they really can't find anything wrong.

Looking at the hanging map, it marked the places where the independent column was currently attacking. Mr. Zhu was also very satisfied: "I really can't imagine that in less than three years, the independent column has grown to this point.

This time, if they can successfully encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army division from the northeast, I believe that it will be a huge shock to many people who pay attention to the War of Resistance and our Eighth Route Army, this is the Kwantung Army known as the Steel Army! ”

'Yes! If the independent column succeeds this time, I also expect to see the first heavy artillery unit and tank armored unit of the Eighth Route Army. I heard that this time, the independent column sent out all the tank armor captured in the previous time.

If this Kwantung Army division can be completely annihilated this time, the heavy artillery and tank armor they are equipped with will play a vital role in improving the mechanized combat capability of our troops. In the future, we will dare to fight against the little devils. ’

Listening to what Mr. Peng said, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Boss, I'm afraid that we won't be able to do such a thing for a while." Compared to the tank armored units of the little devils, they have undergone rigorous training for a long time.

Even if we capture their equipment, it will take a long time to train a qualified tank armored force. But with such a force, we can be regarded as having a real fist force in the future. ”

And after these words fell, Mr. Peng said a little tentatively: "Commander-in-chief, if this independent column really captures the equipment of this Kwantung Army division, will the heavy artillery units and tank units formed still be placed on their side?" ”

In response to Mr. Peng's inquiry, Mr. Zhu also said directly: "What? Do you want him to bring all that gear to headquarters? If nothing else, in our current situation, can we draw out commanders who are familiar with tank and heavy artillery units?

The most important thing is that the losses of the independent column this time are so large, when the battle is over, I am afraid that their casualties will definitely exceed 10,000. People are bleeding here, and you still want him to hand over the equipment to the headquarters, and you are him, what do you think? ”

Such a rhetorical question made Mr. Peng shake his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief, although I hope to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the headquarters, I also believe in his training ability. It's just that the independent column is really developing too fast now, and I'm afraid that the gun will shoot the first bird! ”

'Humph! I'll see who dares! After this battle, the central government will have a new appointment to Xiao He. When the time comes, his position in the party will also be on the same level as yours. As an alternate member, whoever wants to move him must also consider the consequences.

Some people, if they can't fight, will play tricks and make trouble. Have the ability to solve the difficulties that the central government is currently encountering, and go to the front line to fight the little devils! I can't see others living a good life, so I want to do something every day.

This time, as long as he can get rid of this Kwantung Army division, I want to see who dares to reach out and ask them for equipment and things. If you want to pick up ready-made, will the world revolve around them? Outrageous! ’

Perhaps because the current situation of the Eighth Route Army is good, many leaders staying in Yan'an feel that their supervision of the Eighth Route Army seems to be too little. I hope that I can install more of my cronies in the Eighth Route Army.

These people are not good at fighting and commanding, but they are very good at political work. Regarding this increasing unhealthy trend, Mr. Zhu also seemed very angry after learning about it, and he was very opposed to guiding insiders in the army.

As an independent column under the two-way supervision of the central government and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it is naturally one of the troops that these people hope to install their cronies. It's just that Mao Taizu also didn't agree to these people's applications at all.

It can even be said that the teaching regiment now opened in Yulin has given priority to He Zhengdao in selecting the backbone of the army in many cases. The other main forces were also enthusiastic about sending officers to participate in the training.

But a struggle like this, even Mao Taizu can't stop it. After all, many times there are things that need to be compromised. For some personnel placement, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu have to conduct a double review.

Only those who made the two of them feel at ease could enter the Eighth Route Army as political leaders. And these political leaders, after arriving in the army, still seem to be a little relieved for now.

But there are also some political work cadres who, after arriving in the army, seem to want to burn a few fires. Fortunately, these political work cadres more or less only serve as instructors or political commissars of the battalion and regiment, and even if they do something wrong, they can be reversed in time.

But even so, the main division commanders who arranged these cadres also looked very angry. After all, with the expansion of the Eighth Route Army, all units have absorbed a lot of puppet troops anyway.

For these puppet troops, these political cadres do not seem to be at ease, and insist on investigating the reasons why they joined the Eighth Route Army. Although this kind of investigation is necessary, it also makes many puppet soldiers who have joined have lingering concerns.

Even in some units, there have been cases of puppet army recruits running away with guns. If the recruits run away, it makes the main division commander feel that these people are not strong-willed. Then the political work cadres have added the responsibility of the commander of the army, which is a bit of an excuse to play the topic.

In short, after receiving feedback from the troops below, Mr. Zhu and they also know what these people want to do. It is nothing more than the so-called large-scale political censorship that took place several times during the period of the Red Army.

Such a review may seem necessary, but in fact it will shake the morale of the troops. If there is another rectification movement, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army, which is now in a good situation, will have a situation of turmoil in the morale of the army.

As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu undoubtedly resented this kind of rectification movement. But Mr. Zhu is still clear about the principle of ********. For those political work cadres who are unreasonable, Mr. Zhu will all transfer them out of the army.

Even for this matter, Mr. Zhu went to Yan'an in person and talked with several leaders. Even if it is necessary to investigate the background of these recruits, as well as the purpose of their joining the Eighth Route Army.

But similar to the matter of directly detaining or even interrogating when a problem is discovered, it is unwise in Mr. Zhu's opinion. And many times, these political work cadres who went down burned the fire to the military commanders of the battalions.

In a way, isn't this asking for trouble for oneself?

After saying this, Mr. Zhu still said directly: "Regarding the matter of the independent column, my opinion with the chairman is the same as before. If you really let those people in, you don't know what the independent column will look like!

Whether it is Xiao He or the current division commander and brigade commander of the independent column, they have all separated from the main force, and some have even been captured. If they use the topic to play, will even Xiao He have to be reviewed?

Playing the piano indiscriminately and engaging in censorship cannot be unreasonable. Who is not guilty? I get a little bit of a little thing, but I don't like this kind of person the most. What's more, when it comes to interrogation and intelligence, how many of them are Xiao He's opponents?

I'll take the initiative to bring it up in the next meeting. Now that the troops have just improved a little, they are thinking about seizing power again, and we really can't bully us. If you want to install people into the army, I will start from the grassroots level! ”

Compared with Mr. Zhu, who is very directly opposed to this kind of thing, Mao Taizu remains neutral, and most of the actions of these people are seen more and less talked. But Mr. Zhu knew that Mao Taizu also had concerns about the background of these people.

But that doesn't mean they won't be cleaned up in the future. Engaging in political struggle, Mr. Zhu thinks he is not good at it. In his opinion, it is better to leave this kind of thing to Mao Taizu, who is sitting in the central government.

Mr. Peng, who had learned the tragic lessons of the Long March, nodded after listening to Mr. Zhu's words and said, "I agree with the commander-in-chief's opinion!" At present, our main task is to resist the war, and there is no need to hold on to other trivial matters.

As long as the puppet army that joins the army can turn over a new leaf, we should give them a chance. In the past, there were examples of the Red Fourth Front Army in the Soviet area, which has already shown that the rectification movement needs to be cautious and cautious.

If we really want to make a little trouble, I guess the happiest are the little devils and our opponents. If these people really feel that there is something wrong with the person they are vetting, it is better to push them to the battlefield and let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield for themselves.

Our fighters fought bloody battles at the front, and these people still doubted their loyalty in the rear. This kind of thing is left to anyone. At least personally, I hope that the central government must act cautiously in this kind of matter! ”

Through the matter of the independent column, Mr. Peng also brought out the things he had always hated. In his view, if those cadres of organs in Yan'an want to enter the army and take up important posts, they must first start from the grassroots level.

It is not possible for them to take up the post of chief officer of political work when they arrive in the army because they have held a certain position in an organ. In doing so, it tends to make the officers of the unit emotional, and the soldiers of the unit even more emotional.

As for the idea of those people fighting an independent column, in the opinion of Mr. Peng, it is estimated that they do not dare to do so. The reason is very simple, everyone knows that if you want to meddle in the military command of the independent column, you must get the joint consent of Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu.

Without their consent, the dispatch of those who are willing to send them will not be approved. In doing so, at least we will be able to ensure that the current independent column will continue to grow and develop. This is what both the central government and the headquarters want to see!
