When He Zhengdao submitted a personal marriage application report to the central government in his personal name. Chen Siya, who returned to Yan'an, also talked to her parents about her marriage with He Zhengdao this year, which surprised her parents a little.

The two of them, who only have one daughter under their knees, know more or less that their daughters are from other families when they marry out. Even if they thought that He Zhengdao's son-in-law was very good, but when they suddenly learned the news, they were also a little caught off guard.

Even thinking that her daughter had been to Yulin this time, Zhao Xin, as a mother, said very carefully: "Girl, you have already done it?" ”

What does it mean to 'have passed', Chen Siya is naturally clear. At least in Zhao Xin's opinion, although the two of them are both at the age of 'men should get married and women should get married', there is a reason why they are suddenly in such a hurry to get married.

In fact, this time Chen Siya went to Yulin for an interview, and the two couples were a little worried. After all, it is normal for two young people who are psychologically and physically mature to stay together and something happens.

On the other hand, Chen Siya, who heard this, immediately said: "Mom, what are you talking about!" We don't have it! Didn't you always say that I should get married sooner? Why do you suddenly feel that you are reluctant to marry me today? ”

'Silly girl, as a parent, who would want to give her daughter who has worked hard to raise her daughter to someone else as a daughter-in-law! It's just that a woman should get married, which is also a very natural thing. I've always felt that it will take a while for you to get married.

Now, as soon as you came back, you suddenly told us about it, and of course we were a little surprised. It is said that women are not left behind, and it seems that this is really the case. I see you, you can't wait to get married now, right? ’

Looking at her daughter's shy face, Zhao Xin knew that her daughter's body and mind were hanging on He Zhengdao's body. But if the two don't get married, if they have some relationships, she will still feel that she hasn't taught her daughter well.

Now that they know that the two have not broken through the last step, they are still very relieved as parents. In the past, I was always worried that my daughter was getting older, and she would stay with them for life. Now that I suddenly want to get married, I am really reluctant.

seemed to guess that her parents were reluctant to give up, Chen Siya was also very filial and hugged her mother's arm and said: "Dad, Mom, the right way said, the wedding will be held here in Yan'an." In addition, he will also apply for a cave here as our new house.

As you know, he is the commander of an independent division, and he is usually very busy with various tasks, so I am afraid that he will not have much time with me. And I still hope that I will continue to work as a reporter in the company, and he agreed, saying that it is safer.

So, even if my daughter marries him, I will still live at home in the future. In fact, when he proposed the idea of marriage, I was also surprised. But I still want to marry him as soon as possible, because I really love him and am willing to give everything for him. ”

seems to be simple and simple, but the couple doesn't say anything more. And Mao Taizu, who received the marriage application, also readily approved He Zhengdao's marriage application and arranged for someone to prepare a new house for He Zhengdao.

As the commander of the independent column, He Zhengdao can of course bring Chen Siya to live in Yulin. But now, in He Zhengdao's application report, he specifically asked the central government to arrange a cave for him, which means that he still hopes that his home will be in Yan'an.

Although the husband and wife live separately, it is somewhat inhumane. But the problem is that now in addition to He Zhengdao, the groom who is about to get married, there are many family members of other main division commanders living in Yan'an.

Even if the central government did not impose a rule, the family members of the commanders of the first division must settle in Yan'an. But everyone knows that it is indeed safer to put the family in Yan'an. The most important thing is that it can also reassure some people in the central government.

In recent years, it has not been unheard of as a military commander defecting to the enemy with his family. If there are family members under the nose of the central government, this can be regarded as a vote of nomination, so that the central government can also rest assured that they will be in charge of the army.

Referring to the preparations for the wedding, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "If I can, I plan to hold a few tables of banquets while the division commanders of all divisions are coming back to hold a meeting, which can also be regarded as adding some joy to the meeting."

However, the specific situation will still depend on the situation of the battle at that time. At least I believe that when the summer and autumn come, the little devils will definitely send heavy troops to carry out an encirclement and suppression campaign against us.

If the battle is too intense, the wedding will be postponed. At least I don't want to delay my military and political affairs because of my marriage. Therefore, the specific date will be determined according to the actual situation at that time. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Mao Taizu thought for a while and said, "Okay, you don't want to abolish the idea of your public because of your own interests, and I also support it." I will discuss this application with the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee at that time, and I believe that there will be no problems.

What are your thoughts on the next battle? Also, at present, the battle between the Central Army and the little devils in the Central Plains is about to start, what do you think our chances of winning? And what should you do in advance? ”

Since He Zhengdao became the commander of the independent column, Mao Taizu also felt that He Zhengdao's ability to judge the situation was indeed worthy of praise. Regarding the next battle of Xuzhou, the victory or defeat is indeed worthy of the Eighth Route Army's early preparation.

Listening to Mao Taizu's inquiry, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Chairman, the significance of Xuzhou to the Central Army is undoubtedly very important. For the little devils who started the aggression, they also knew how important this place was to them.

In order to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, connect the battlefields of North China and Central China, and expand their aggression against our land, the little devils have adopted the policy of advancing from the north to the south, and are now preparing to attack Xuzhou on both sides. This strategic vision is already obvious.

And this time, the Central Army, according to the troops they successively sent to the Xuzhou area, also amounted to 600,000. In addition, Lao Jiang even let Li Zongren serve as the commander, and transferred the Xingui Army to fight with the Guangdong Army and the Sichuan Army to cooperate with the Central Army.

In terms of troops, the Central Army undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. However, judging from the combat quality of the troops and the ability to coordinate and cooperate from top to bottom, I am afraid that this wing unit may not all listen to Li Zongren. The Central Army is arrogant, and I believe the chairman also knows it.

If all the troops participating in the battle can really unite with the outside world, maybe they may win a big victory in this battle. But in my personal speculation, this is not easy. It is difficult for the central army to form a tacit understanding with the local troops.

Even when I received a telegram from the Central Committee and the General Headquarters a few days ago, I felt that I should not send the Cantonese army to participate in the war. Lao Jiang pulled the main force of the Guangdong army out to participate in the battle, what his intentions were, in fact, look at the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army to know.

Moreover, in the telegram sent by Vice Chairman Zhou a few days ago, it was clearly informed that many of the troops who went out of Sichuan to participate in the War of Resistance this time could not even have a weapon. How much of a threat can such a force pose to the little devils when they go to the battlefield?

In the eyes of others, perhaps our Eighth Route Army is a local force that the Central Army is bent on destroying. But for the other warlord troops, why didn't Lao Jiang worry? Letting Li Zongren be this commander is not a kind of power exchange?

If the time comes, the main force of the Xingui Army will suffer too heavy casualties, and Li Zongren will definitely send other troops to participate in the battle. Under such circumstances, the Sichuan army and the Guangdong army, which cooperated with the operation, were afraid that they would have to undertake the most arduous combat tasks.

Compared with the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Central Army, there is still a considerable gap between these two troops. Once they fail to complete the combat mission assigned by Li Zongren, it is actually quite normal for them to affect the overall strategic deployment.

If the President wants me to say, what will be the outcome of this battle? Then my judgment is that the Central Army may get a lot of bargains this time. But except for the Central Army, the rest of the troops are afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties.

In addition, if it really comes to that point, we must also be prepared to send troops to participate in the battle. Now Lao Jiang didn't force us to send troops, and he knew more that he wanted us to cooperate with him and hoped to come out with sincerity.

Our ten main divisions have not been formed for a short time until now. How much did Lao Jiang give us about the military salaries and materials he talked about at the beginning? Not to mention, the support given by Big Brother was basically swallowed by Lao Jiang.

I still have the same opinion as before, let's send troops to fight. But he must pay us in advance for the salaries and supplies that belong to us. Moreover, this time our winter offensive has also created a lot of favorable conditions for them.

If we hadn't sabotaged the railway, I believe that the little devils who marched into the Central Plains at this time would have had a fierce confrontation with their guards. Now it's not a full-scale fight, and it's more of a little devil who needs to reserve supplies.

Once they have almost stockpiled their war materiel, it is time for them to launch a full-scale attack. When the time comes, it is also unknown whether the troops responsible for blocking the task of blocking can stop the little devils! ”

According to what is known so far, the troops of the Central Army have already established blocking positions in Teng County. The Japanese army attacking Tengxian County is also seizing the time to reserve supplies, and when the battle starts, it depends on when the Japanese army is ready to attack.

At least from the information obtained from the current battlefield, the various departments of the Central Army participating in the war do not seem to have thought about the main force launching an offensive at all. This strategy of only defending and not attacking is too conservative and too cautious in He Zhengdao's opinion.

Just thinking about the results of the current battle between the Central Army and the Japanese army, He Zhengdao felt that the commanders of the main forces of the Central Army would have such thoughts, which was actually normal.

After all, in the eyes of many, it is easier to fight a defensive war than an offensive one. The result of a sneak attack on the Japanese army will often surprise others. On the other hand, a defensive war of resistance can give the Central Army a certain advantage.

The results are not optimistic, and that is the conclusion that He Zhengdao made based on the available information. As for the Battle of Xuzhou, whether it will continue the outcome of history, He Zhengdao is not very clear.

It's just that He Zhengdao knows that no matter what the little devil and the Central Army will be, what will happen next. This year, for the Eighth Route Army, the challenges that need to be faced are also not small. It is indeed necessary to prepare early! (To be continued.) )
