With the arrival of Wang Tianlin, preparations for He Zhengdao's campaign to recover Shanxi in the winter are also in full swing. Wang Tianlin, who had only been in Yan'an for two days, immediately returned to Suiyuan and began to assemble troops.

In order to divert the attention of the Japanese army, He Zhengdao even asked Wang Tianlin to release the news of the assembly of troops. Of course, the target of the attack is naturally not Taiyuan but Zhangjiakou, which is the closest to the Suichaji Military Region.

In addition, the city defense troops stationed in various cities in Yulin also launched a new round of military competition. The purpose of the contest is also to prepare for the formation of the Northeast Coalition Army. Even if this decision has not yet been deliberated and approved by the Central Committee and the General Headquarters.

However, He Zhengdao believes that with such a sufficient reason, the central government and the general headquarters will also weigh the advantages and disadvantages of forming the Northeast Coalition Army. Just for the sake of secrecy, He Zhengdao also asked for secrecy, even if the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation did not notify in advance.

Only after the end of the Shanxi Campaign, He Zhengdao will organize some advance teams to go to the places where the Anti-Japanese Federation is active to cooperate with the Anti-Japanese Federation in the anti-Japanese war work behind enemy lines. The rest of the main forces were competing with the Kwantung Army head-on.

At least He Zhengdao believes that once the Eighth Route Army launches an offensive against the northeast, those soldiers and civilians who are looking forward to marching into the northeast as soon as possible will also cheer. The old Northeast Army, which is still in the Central Army, will also join the Eighth Route Army under the inspiration.

At that time, some changes may occur in the old northeastern part annexed by the Nationalist Government. In any case, the Northeast Army is also a fighting force in the Republic of China, and as long as it is well managed, it is also a strong force.

While secretly preparing for these things, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Shangqiu, as He Zhengdao expected, began to carry out a clean-up operation against the troops of the Eighth Route Army around Shangqiu. For a time, the war in Shangqiu broke out again.

In addition, the Japanese troops in the counties around Shangqiu also participated in the clean-up operation of Tufeiyuan. It's just that the Eighth Route Army, which had been prepared for a long time, also used guerrilla warfare to deal with these Japanese troops who were cleared, but it kept an eye on the movements of the main force of Tufeiyuan.

On the day that Xiao Jinguang arrived in Yan'an with Liu Shaoqi, the main force of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, which was supposed to participate in the liquidation in Shangqiu, suddenly appeared in Qixian County, the gateway to Kaifeng, which caught the Central Army stationed in Qixian County off guard.

Originally, the garrison of Qixian County, which did not have many garrison troops, officially declared the fall of Qixian County in less than a day after resisting. This also means that the Japanese army has officially launched an offensive against Henan. Moreover, it was the 14th Division that was familiar with the situation in Kaifeng that was the main attacker.

Coupled with the previous campaign to connect with the Shanxi Dispatch Army, this is the third time that the 14th Division has attacked Kaifeng. Before the expedition, the main officers of Tu Feiyuan and the division also made it clear that this battle could only be won and not defeated.

In his opinion, this is also in response to an old Chinese saying, called 'no more than three'!

When the Battle of Qixian began, the 13th and 18th Divisions, which confronted the Central Army at Zhumadian, suddenly intensified their attacks. For a time, Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture, which calmed Henan, faced the dilemma of being attacked on both sides.

As the information was gathered to the central side, as an advocate of the Henan Campaign, He Zhengdao, who originally planned to pick up Xiao Jinguang and Liu Shaoqi, was also called to the combat duty room by Mr. Zhu to analyze the next battle.

Looking at the standard Japanese offensive roadmap on the map, He Zhengdao still said very calmly: "Commander-in-chief, in fact, we have long expected the situation of the Japanese army attacking Jiang Dingwen's department on both sides.

The closest to Zhengzhou now is undoubtedly the 14th Division commanded by Tu Feiyuan. Counting, this should be the third time he has led his troops to attack Zhengzhou. If Jiang Dingwen is willing to insist, he is afraid that it will not be easy for him to take Zhengzhou.

But the problem now is that the Japanese army has placed two divisions on the side of Zhumadian, and the momentum of the troops' offensive is very strong. Some time ago, these two divisions were in Xinyang, and they actually got a good rest, and the combat readiness materials were almost in reserve.

In this way, there are not many choices in front of Jiang Dingwen. Defending Zhengzhou means that it is possible to be dumplings by the Japanese army. Although he is behind us, with Jiang Dingwen's character, he will not ask for our help.

The current situation does not exceed our previous predictions. What we have to do now is to wait for Jiang Dingwen to make a choice. As soon as his troops stationed at the border are withdrawn, our assembled forces must quickly take over their defensive areas.

If the time comes, they will reserve some troops here to persist in fighting. As long as they don't provoke easily, we will let them stay in Henan, and after the situation in Henan is stabilized, we will slowly clean them up. ”

Zhou Enlai, who also participated in the war situation, said in a timely manner: "Then now, will we watch the Central Army and the Japanese army start a war in Henan?" Don't need to do anything in advance? Let the Japanese attack too smoothly, I am afraid that it will not be good for our next battle, right? ”

At least here in Zhou Enlai, he still hopes to help, and he can't completely sit on the wall and watch. In any case, Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture stationed in Henan can be regarded as an elite unit of the Central Army!

In the face of such an inquiry, He Zhengdao continued: "At least the two main divisions that we have placed on the border of Henan in advance must not act rashly. Once the grass is startled, I am afraid that the Japanese army will also be wary.

If we want to deal with the war in Henan, then we can now order the new 67th Army and the 117th Division to launch a sabotage battle. Pick the little devil's rear supply line stuff and respond to the war in Henan in this way.

Just for the next step, we can successfully take the entire territory of Henan, and even encircle and suppress the main division of the Japanese army that entered Henan. I suggest that such an attack and attack should be fought leisurely, and the little devils should not be scared away. ”

Hearing this, Mr. Zhu, who rarely showed a smile and said, "You kid, dare to ignore the three divisions of other people's little devils." To be honest, we will dispatch two main divisions next, and we are really worried about whether we can carry a division of the little devils! ”

'Commander-in-chief, if you let Commander Dong of the 127th Division and Commander Liu of the 116th Division listen to this, they will definitely think that you underestimate the combat effectiveness of their troops. With two against one, I don't think there's much of a problem.

What we are doing now in advance is to try our best to ensure that the situation of the three little devil divisions does not converge. It is necessary not only to ensure that Jiang Dingwen can withdraw smoothly, but also to ensure that we separate the three divisions. ’

The ****, who has been listening to the analysis of the battle situation, said very directly: "The right way, about the Henan Campaign, you also put it forward." So you should have a plan in mind, right? Say it now and let's analyze it together! ”

'Yes, Chairman! However, my plan was completely conceived on the basis of the possibility of the little devil attacking Henan. How this battle will be fought depends on how the next battle will develop. ’

He Zhengdao, who said such a sentence, also hoped that the battle plan he had formulated would not affect the judgment of the commander in charge of the next battle. After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and He Zhengdao does not dare to say that he has no last resort.

Pointing to a place on the map, He Zhengdao continued: "If we want to cut off the danger of the three divisions of the Japanese army joining forces in one place, then we need to send a main force to attack from the position of Zhoukou to block the encirclement of the Japanese army.

According to the current situation we have, the Central Army does not have many troops here in Zhoukou, and the place where the heavy troops are stationed now is in the direction of Xuchang. And my first division had already been stationed in Linquan half a month ago.

In addition, the reconnaissance brigade that is fighting behind enemy lines in Wuyang also has a part of the main force that has been stationed in Huaiyang in Zhoukou to conduct intelligence reconnaissance. According to the information they fed back, there was only one infantry brigade stationed in Zhoukou.

Most of the rest of the county towns are urban defense units of the Central Army. Those troops, if they want to block the Japanese attack, I am afraid that it is simply impossible. If nothing else, once the front line in Zhumadian is broken, the defenders of Zhoukou will inevitably be panicked.

My suggestion is that the First Division of the New 67th Army, together with the Reconnaissance Brigade, should preempt the Japanese army, take some of the communication arteries in Zhoukou, and deploy defenses to block the Japanese troops that may be coming in this direction.

The overall strategy is the same as we had planned, and we will be stationed after the withdrawal of the Central Army. When the time comes, even if there is a war of words, we will have a reason. If they can't resist the attack of the Japanese army, then our Eighth Route Army can take the lead. ”

Watching He Zhengdao start on the map, the standard out of the new 67th Army's blocking front. Mr. Zhu also said in a timely manner: "Righteousness, your plan is to use your new 67th Army to contain the 13th and 18th divisions of the Japanese army.

As for the 14th Division of the Japanese Army attacking Zhengzhou from Kaifeng, the 116th Division and the 127th Division, which were going south at that time, were responsible? If your new 67th Army can stop the attack of the two divisions of the Japanese army, then we still have a great chance of victory. ”

In response to Mr. Zhu's inquiry, He Zhengdao also said confidently: "Commander-in-chief, although our new 67th Army suffered a lot of losses in the battle of Wuhan last time. But in fact, the structure of our three main divisions is still preserved.

The 1st Division cooperated with the reconnaissance brigade to block the Japanese offensive in front, while the 2nd and 3rd Divisions followed behind the two Japanese divisions to contain the Japanese division's attack. I think the new 67th Army is still capable of accomplishing this task.

Just such a fight, I believe that the Japanese troops in Wuhan and Anhui will definitely give support. This requires the cooperation of the New Fourth Army and the 117th Division. The Japanese troops who dragged these two places did not dare to leave the garrison easily. ”

As for the troops that the New 67th Army has now formed in the Dabie Mountain area, He Zhengdao feels that it can still be done with the two divisions of the Japanese army. It's just that in this way, I believe that Lao Jiang will also be thunderous by then.

At least he would feel as if he had been deceived. The new 67th Army was not as badly damaged as he imagined. On the contrary, it is growing stronger and stronger in the Dabie Mountain area. Knowing this, it is estimated that Lao Jiang will be worried about not being able to sleep again!

But the problem is that as long as the Eighth Route Army can successfully recapture the entire territory of Henan after the Central Army abandons Henan. At least for the military and civilians of the whole country who are concerned about the Anti-Japanese War, this is a victory worthy of the joy of the anti-Japanese war soldiers and civilians!
