In order to avoid a situation of meeting with the Red Fourth Front Army, Mao Taizu had already decided this time to bring an independent column to enter with the central authorities. Even, he hoped that the independent column would serve as the pioneer of the Central Red Army in the future.

However, these ideas can only be discussed and announced after the independent column is returned. As far as the current situation is concerned, the size of the independent column is already on par with the other corps of the Central Red Army combined.

As the commander of such a unit, He Zhengdao was called the first general of the Red Army. Even Mao Taizu's consideration to promote He Zhengdao's position in the central government is not limited to his position in the army.

With the main force of the four divisions of the independent column, they arrived in Zhenyuan one after another. Many new members of the Red Army also really felt the strength of this unit. Several other corps commanders also admired and envied the growth of the independent column.

Until He Zhengdao led a division and finally stepped into Zhenyuan City. Looking at the fact that it has not been seen for a while, the mental outlook of the fist troops of this independent column seems to have become a little different from the previous one.

Although I can't say anything different, veterans like Peng Dehuai can feel that this independent column is a division. In the previous battles of this transfer to Gannan, it can be regarded as a real wrestling.

Compared to their expanded troops, most of them are converted captive recruits. The first division of this independent column in front of me has been called the main division organized by veterans. Such a main force is often very strong in combat.

At the gate of the city, He Zhengdao, like the previous times, gave enough respect to every leader who went out to greet him. When he saw several legion commanders, he was still an old chief.

obviously has enough proud capital, but he still seems so modest and cautious, such a general, no one can pick out the thorns. For such young people, these veteran Red Army commanders also seemed to trust and love them.

Mao Taizu, who also trusted him more and more, although he wanted to talk to him alone, finally just said softly: "I guess you have worked hard all the way." Let's go back to the camp and rest for a while, and we'll talk about it tomorrow! ”

'Yes, thank you, Commissar Mao! Then I'll go back to the army first! ’

He Zhengdao, who left with a smile, stayed in Zhenyuan from the headquarters and did not leave, waiting for the return of the independent column. More or less they have realized that before the meeting, they are afraid that there will be only a congress to decide the future of the Red Army.

As long as the commander has the brains, he can see that the Red Army, which currently has more than 100,000 troops, cannot all pour into northern Shaanxi. So in order to expand the strategic depth, the territory of Anyang must be taken as a strategic frontier.

With this territory, if the Northwest Army wants to attack northern Shaanxi, it needs to beware of the Red Army in Anyang copying their back roads. If they want to encircle and suppress together, how many encirclement and suppression troops do they have to prepare?

Secondly, with such a territory garrison, even the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia should be on guard, the Red Army may enter Ningxia at any time. Therefore, if you don't want to lose both, Ningxia's Ma Jiajun can only choose defense.

This means that Anyang, which seems to be surrounded on three sides, is actually a nail pierced into Shaanxi and Gansu. Any warlord in the vicinity, if he wants to fight the idea of the Red Army, must be careful of the Red Army's all-out counterattack.

As for the Central Army, it is time-consuming and laborious to mobilize troops from the south, and these warlords in the northwest may not agree. If the warlords in the northwest disagree, Lao Jiang probably has no choice.

If he really wants to force the warlords in the northwest to be in a hurry, and when he unites with the Red Army, Lao Chiang is estimated to be really blind. Therefore, as for the established fact that the Red Army entered Shaanxi, Gansu and northern Shaanxi, the issue of the ownership of the territory could only be resolved through negotiations in the later period.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao finally felt that Anyang should have a force, but it was not the force he wanted to station. If he could, after entering northern Shaanxi, he would reduce the size of the independent column.

If he really wanted to choose a piece of land, He Zhengdao would probably choose a place close to Yan Laoxi. Because there, time is running out before it falls. If there is a force on the side, maybe He Zhengdao can also make a difference.

Compared with fighting these local warlords, He Zhengdao is more looking forward to fighting the little devils in the future. It's just that the memories of the history of the war in his mind are only afraid that some of them are useless.

The reason is that compared with the Red Army that entered northern Shaanxi in history, the Central Red Army, which is now about to enter northern Shaanxi, is many times more powerful. It can be said that in the future, when the Red Army is put on the battlefield, it will also become the real main force of the War of Resistance.

Who is good for such a change, He Zhengdao actually has no bottom in his heart. But he knows that as long as he has the opportunity to fight devils. Even if he is a guerrilla leader, it is estimated that he will feel very satisfied.

Because, in his previous life, in addition to being able to kill a few little devils to relieve his anger, the law did not allow him to hurt these 'friendly people' at all! And in this life, he hopes to take care of it and torture and kill some little devils.

If there is a chance in the future, he doesn't mind Ma Yue Tokyo and talk to the emperor of the little devil about the garrison. It's just that there's still a long way to go before that happens.

Thinking too much also seems a little unrealistic. Therefore, He Zhengdao felt that what he had to do was to take the first step, accumulate strength, and be ready to enter the battlefield of resistance against Japan at any time! (To be continued.) )
