Chapter 597: Growing Self-Confidence!

Looking at the first day's battle situation sent back by the reconnaissance group, He Zhengdao, who was sitting in Huaibin, also felt very relieved. From the current point www.biquge.info of view, the reconnaissance brigade has become a unit that dares to fight and understands war, which also shows that the reconnaissance brigade is worthy of being the fist force in his hands.

As the chief of staff, Luo Ruiqing was also very satisfied with the results of the reconnaissance regiment on the first day. The longer he stayed in this unit, the more Luo Ruiqing could find that this unit was different.

Perhaps, as the righteous path says, the strength of a force also has a lot to do with its first commander. As the saying goes, 'one soldier will bear a nest', and the independent column is a unit formed by He Zhengdao.

Relying on the captured soldiers on the Long March, this independent regiment that served as the rear guard in the Long March has repeatedly achieved great results after being ashamed. It has become a force in the Eighth Route Army that really dares to fight and win.

The entire column went up to the commander of the first division and down to the ordinary soldiers, and they all admired He Zhengdao very much. As a commander, He Zhengdao has no one to compare with the prestige of this unit.

Even now, because of his identity, He Zhengdao no longer personally participates in the front-line battles as before. But this reconnaissance brigade, which is the envy of all divisions of the Eighth Route Army, is an elite unit trained by He Zhengdao.

If the saber special combat team is a sharp blade that hides the edge, it will be bloody to give the enemy a fatal blow. Then the reconnaissance brigade is an indispensable sharp knife unit in the independent column, a trustworthy elite iron-blooded division.

'Chief of Staff, call back to the 2nd Regiment and intensify the attack from tomorrow. Use mines and cold gun tactics to block the enemy and the road. Slow down the Japanese march as much as possible and keep them on the road for a few more days.

Secondly, order our troops along the highway to enter combat readiness from tonight. Beware of a sneak attack by the Japanese army, which will disperse our forces there and ensure the safety of the local people by attacking and harassing them.

In order to strengthen the defense forces along the line, let the Huaibin Independent Regiment go up. The main force was responsible for the next blocking battle, and the Huaibin Independent Regiment cooperated with the Second Reconnaissance Regiment to take on the task of raiding and defending on the front line, looking for opportunities to cut off the supply line of the little devils.

Another point that needs to be paid attention to is the strengthening of air defense vigilance. In the area of air defense, all units must pay more attention. The gathering places where the guerrillas are in charge should also be careful not to light fires and expose their targets during the day.

For this matter, I will send a telegram to the Huaibin Garrison Brigade later. Today we destroyed an infantry brigade of the little devils, and I think the little devils will retaliate. And the air raids are also something that we are temporarily powerless to parry. ’

Without air supremacy, it has always been something that He Zhengdao feels very unhappy about. But he knew that at the moment the arsenal had copied an anti-aircraft machine gun of 12.7 caliber. As for the anti-aircraft gun, it is still under development for the time being.

But the deterrent power of anti-aircraft machine gun air defense is still much worse than that of anti-aircraft guns. For this reason, He Zhengdao received a telegram from the arsenal and instructed the research institute to speed up the imitation of anti-aircraft guns.

As for the successful imitation of anti-aircraft machine guns, a batch of them will also be produced and installed in the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible. With these anti-aircraft machine guns, the anti-aircraft firepower of the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army will also be strengthened to a certain extent.

The most important thing is that when imitating anti-aircraft machine guns, He Zhengdao consciously demanded that anti-aircraft machine guns must be used both high and flat. This also means that this imitation of the successful anti-aircraft machine gun can also be used as a flat-fire weapon.

If equipped with armor-piercing shells, the main divisions of the front line, when facing the thin-skinned tanks of the little devils, can also use anti-aircraft machine guns to draw and destroy them. Such weapons are still very urgently needed for the main divisions.

Although the Eighth Route Army has now issued a certain number of bazookas in each main division. But in terms of range, the role that bazookas can play is also limited. More often than not, bazookas have become a weapon for knocking fortresses on the front line.

After this new weapon was issued to all units on the front line, the commanders of all units on the front line liked it very much. And these bazooka shooters, after training in Yulin, returned to the troops with bazookas.

With regard to this kind of weapon, He Zhengdao also suggested to the headquarters that it must be managed by a special person. Only in this way can we maximize the security that this weapon will not fall into the hands of little devils.

He Zhengdao, who knows a little bit about the urine of the little devil, knows very well that he has no air defense force, and the little devil will definitely not miss such an advantage. It is also very possible to dispatch the air force to strengthen reconnaissance and strikes.

Listening to He Zhengdao's instructions, Luo Ruiqing also felt that it was very possible. After recording these orders and having them issued by the telegraph operator, he asked: "Tomorrow, do you want to go back to Huangchuan?" ”

Thinking of the telegram he received today, Liu Shaoqi, who arrived with the headquarters reinforcement garrison brigade, will also arrive in Huangchuan tomorrow. As the future head of the Central China Bureau, He Zhengdao really needs to welcome it.

As a result, He Zhengdao still shook his head and said, "Forget it!" Tomorrow I want to go to the 77th Army and discuss with Commander Feng about the defense of the two armies. This time, the defensive blockade, I was most worried about them.

The little devil suffered a loss in our hands before, and this time it is estimated that he will not fight us. If they knew that we had built a solid defensive position in Huaibin, they would certainly be reluctant to attack head-on.

The most likely tactic to be implemented is to attack and break through in a roundabout way. If you really do that, with the strength of the 77th Army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the main force of the little devils. This time, I am afraid that we will need to transfer some troops to help it defend.

As for Comrade Shaoqi's side, it is not too rude to have a political commissar and Director Luo to greet him. Based on my understanding of Comrade Shaoqi, after he arrived in Huangchuan, he was afraid that he would definitely not be able to sit still, and it was very possible for him to go to the front line and take a look.

The liaison group we sent earlier has already made contact with the guerrilla brigade of the 117th Division in Shangqiu. I believe that it will not be long before the 117th Division will also send liaison officers over. It is also important for us to open up this line of communication.

When Comrade Shi Shaoqi comes over, we will discuss this point in detail. Now that the war on the front line is so tight, you and I can't be busy with the things we have on our hands, and a little bit of politeness is still avoided. ”

As far as Ho is concerned, he does not want to get too involved in this kind of political struggle. But I know more or less that Liu Shaoqi is still different from other pro-Soviet factions, and in general this is a smart person who does more and says less.

Whether it is the Northern Bureau that he has just stepped down from, or the Central China Bureau that is about to be formed, Liu Shaoqi has made great contributions. The most important thing is that in some major matters, Liu Shaoqi actually followed Mao Taizu all the way.

Even if He Zhengdao is clear, some regrettable and painful things happened after the founding of the People's Republic of China. But he believes that history has changed. Maybe there are some things that will happen in the future and should not be so tragic.

At least in this life, the woman who was supposed to be Mao Taizu, He Zhengdao, was not found in Yan'an. It also shows that history has been different, and some things may not have happened.

Most importantly, as He Zhengdao's power and prestige in the Eighth Route Army gradually increased. He Zhengdao believes that in some things, he can also intervene and play a certain role in keeping some things from going out of the way.

After saying these words, He Zhengdao continued: "Wait a minute, send a telegram to Comrade Shaoqi, explain the situation on our side, and express our apologies. Also remind them to keep their itinerary private.

If Comrade Shaoqi is going to come to the front, the guard battalion must strengthen protection. Recently, the spies of the little devils have been active more frequently in the Xinyang area. Next, the troops stationed in various cities should also take counter-espionage as the most important work. ”

As the commander of the first general guard division, many of the guard officers and men who are now the guards of the central leaders are He Zhengdao's old subordinates. It can be said that He Zhengdao is also the old chief of many people.

Moreover, He Zhengdao, who is currently building the Eighth Route Army Teaching Brigade in Yulin, also serves as the captain. Although most of the teaching brigades are training places for battalion and company-level officers, He Zhengdao can be regarded as the first instructor and manager.

It can be said that Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu still have high hopes for He Zhengdao. As the youngest military general of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao has proved through a series of efforts that he is a true general with both civil and military skills.

Seeing that He Zhengdao had such an awareness, Luo Ruiqing didn't say much. As an old man who has personally experienced the rebellion in the Soviet area, Luo Ruiqing knows better that it is better to be cautious in some things.

'And when are you going to leave tomorrow?' ’

'Early in the morning! Next, I'll rush back as soon as possible. It should be safe to have a saber with the guard battalion to accompany you. During my absence, I bothered the Chief of Staff to pay more attention to the work of the front and the various defensive positions. ’

'Okay! I'll take care of that! However, you also need to be safe! ’

It was clear that He Zhengdao was still very cautious in matters involving his own safety, and Luo Ruiqing didn't say anything more. After all, as the follow-up main forces arrived in Huaibin one after another, there were still many troops of the Eighth Route Army on the way to Gushi.

If there is any situation, the main forces and guerrillas in the vicinity can also be reinforced as soon as possible. As for the sneak attack of small troops, the Japanese troops who can defeat the saber and guard battalions are just as few.

Compared with He Zhengdao going to the front line and behind enemy lines in the past, it is still relatively safe to operate in the rear now. What's more, Luo Ruiqing knows very well that He Zhengdao, who looks a little bookish, is actually a master.

Even if he is in the command headquarters, He Zhengdao will find time to practice martial arts in the morning and evening every day. According to what he knew, whether it was firearms or hand-to-hand combat, the people of the Saber Special Combat Team were not He Zhengdao's opponents.

In the eyes of many people, He Zhengdao may seem a little polite. But this young man really started to move, and it was really not something that a few people could deal with. But it's still necessary to be cautious! (To be continued.) )
