Jingle is located in the Loess Plateau in the northwest of Shanxi Province, in the south of Xinzhou region, northwest of Taiyuan City, and is under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou. Because of its geographical comparative advantage, the www.biquge.info has always been regarded as the strategic rear location of the 120th Division.

The 120th Division stationed in Xinzhou also had a temporary division headquarters in Jingle. In normal times, when it is necessary to transfer the headquarters, Mr. He will also stay at Jingle's temporary headquarters for a few days from time to time.

During this time, as the Japanese army in Shanxi launched another offensive against Jincheng, trying to open up contact with the Japanese army in Henan. The Eighth Route Army Defense Area around Taiyuan has also entered a state of combat readiness.

Although the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack, the 120th Division stationed near Taiyuan also significantly strengthened the offensive against the Japanese troops stationed around Taiyuan. As a result, most of the people living in this area were temporarily moved to safety in the rear.

He Zhengdao, who set out from Yulin this time, finally led the artillery brigade to successfully enter the temporary headquarters of the 120th Division in Jingle after several days of day and night. Mr. He, who had already received the news, also waited here for a long time.

Looking at the heavy artillery pulled by cars, Mr. He also said with some greed: "Righteousness, our entire Eighth Route Army, just the troops that your kid has brought this thing." Damn, this thing looks greedy! ”

Listening to Mr. He's joke, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Boss, as long as the Itagaki Division is successfully taken this time, the heavy artillery wing to which their division belongs, if there is no accident, should also belong to your division."

In fact, you only see that this cannon is powerful and enjoyable to use. But you know that if this shell goes down, it's all money! And this thing has to be pulled by a car, and you really can't go to a place where the road conditions are bad. ”

'Hey, hey! Jian Ying, you heard it all. You Commander He can say that if you take the heavy artillery wing of the Itagaki Division this time, those heavy artillery will belong to our 120th Division. Don't go back!

Even if this shell costs money, Lao Tzu will buy a heavy artillery regiment directly under the division. With such a heavy artillery regiment, our division will also have the capital to fight with the little devils in the future. If our division had such equipment, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time with Itagaki a long time ago. ’

For Mr. He, the main division commanders, the equipment of the independent column has always been their envy and covetousness. It's just that everyone knows that all the equipment that He Zhengdao equipped his troops with was captured from the Japanese army on the battlefield.

Even if some people think that He Zhengdao should carry forward his style and free up some equipment, no one is embarrassed to open his mouth. After all, it was also a very shameless thing for He Zhengdao to give the seized loot.

And this time, He Zhengdao came with the purpose of training, and even brought in the 120th Division and the 118th Division to help. Some of the trophies captured on the battlefield naturally had to be distributed to the two main divisions who helped.

For this reason, watching Mr. He directly scoop the little devil's heavy artillery wing into his pocket, Ye Jianying also smiled and said: "Mr. He, you are not afraid that Master Luo has opinions!" ”

I think Itagaki should have the biggest opinion! Before the battle was fought, we began to divide the weapons of his division! ’

He Zhengdao, who took the opportunity to insert a sentence, pretended to be serious, which also attracted everyone's laughter. But from this relaxed atmosphere, it can also be seen that both He Zhengdao and Mr. He have great confidence in the victory of this battle.

For this battle, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation transferred three newly built infantry main divisions, one cavalry division, and two divisions of Mr. He and Luo Zhihui. Dealing with the two Japanese divisions stationed in Shanxi was undoubtedly a heavy force press.

Not to mention, the main division of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei will also give some cooperation. If you really want to talk about it, Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have greater confidence in the victory of the Shanxi Campaign than in the Henan Campaign.

After arranging for the troops to start resting, He Zhengdao also came to Mr. He's temporary headquarters. Looking at Li Xiangdong, who was already waiting here, He Zhengdao, as the commander, also looked very happy.

But he didn't forget to introduce: "Xiangdong, this is our new chief of staff, Comrade Ye Jianying!" ”

'Chief of Staff Ye, good! ’

'Hello Comrade Xiangdong! I have always heard that there is a tiger general next to Commander He, and today we finally met. In the future, I, the chief of staff, hope that the comrades will support me more! ’

Although Li Xiangdong is only a brigade commander, there is still the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yan'an, and his weight is higher than that of ordinary division commanders. The reconnaissance brigade under his command is undoubtedly the real elite unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, according to He Zhengdao's plan, after the end of the Shanxi battle, the reconnaissance brigade will also be expanded accordingly. At that time, Li Xiangdong, the brigade commander, may also be promoted again and become another general of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army.

After the introduction was completed, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Xiangdong, you arrived a while earlier than us, let's introduce the information you have detected first!" At the moment of the reconnaissance brigade, how many troops are not in place? ”

'Report to the commander, except for the fourth regiment, which is still cooperating with the old 1st Division in Zhoukou, the three main regiments of the rest of the reconnaissance brigade have all arrived in Shanxi. It's just that at present, the three regiments are still fighting in Jincheng and Changzhi.

As for the 1st and 2nd regiments, by order of the commander, they had already arrived at the intended attack positions. When the time comes, you can attack. The first regiment was near Taiyuan, and the second regiment was in the territory of Jinzhong. ’

'Didn't reveal it, did you?' ’

'Nope! All combat units marched in a fractional manner and assembled in a predetermined area. Because of this long journey, I have ordered two regiments to rest and recuperate until they receive new orders. ’

After listening to Li Xiangdong's report, He Zhengdao said with great satisfaction: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Let's talk about the situation of the little devils! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

At the suggestion of He Zhengdao, Li Xiangdong made some reports to the operational commanders present on the reconnaissance brigade's reconnaissance of the Japanese intelligence he had detected in the vicinity. Among them, even the situation of the defenders in Taiyuan, Li Xiangdong said in detail.

After listening to this, Mr. He, who was staying on the side, also said curiously: "Comrade Xiangdong, according to the information I have, after the Japanese army launched an offensive against Jincheng, they have strengthened the investigation of the traffic arteries around Taiyuan.

And in order to prevent our scouts from scouting their intelligence, they have imposed a temporary curfew in all the occupied territories. As their base camp, Taiyuan City is the focus of Banyuan's investigation, how did you find out this information? ”

Faced with such an inquiry, Li Xiangdong looked at He Zhengdao, and only after receiving He Zhengdao's signal did he say: "Report to Division Commander He, although the Japanese army's investigation is strict, it is still very reassuring to the people they trust.

Earlier, our reconnaissance brigade was in Taiyuan City, and secretly built several traffic stations. During the period when the Japanese army was stationed in Taiyuan, these traffic stations were relatively close to the Japanese army, so they were able to reconnoiter some military intelligence of the Japanese army.

Although the little devil has recently been in Taiyuan City, he has intensified the investigation of strangers. However, our intelligence scouts all have good citizen certificates issued by the Japanese army, and it is still very convenient to enter and exit Taiyuan City. The only thing to note is that you can't carry weapons.

The members of the team who were sent to Taiyuan City to conduct intelligence reconnaissance had all participated in the earlier operations in Taiyuan and had a good understanding of the situation in Taiyuan. In this case, as long as they do not take the initiative to expose, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to discover their true identities. ”

As soon as he heard this, Mr. He was also very surprised and said: "Righteous way, for Taiyuan City, I'm afraid you have already planned it, right?" ”

'Indeed! When I grabbed the goods of the little devil earlier, I thought about the importance of Taiyuan. Therefore, when Taiyuan was causing sabotage, I discussed it with Vice Chairman Zhou and sent a group of intelligence officers who were good at intelligence reconnaissance to Taiyuan City.

These people may not have a good reputation in Taiyuan City, but most of them have a good relationship with the Japanese troops stationed in Taiyuan City. Therefore, the Japanese army made several strict inspections, and they all passed safely, and provided us with a lot of timely and effective information. ’

At this time, Zhou Shidi, chief of staff of the 120th Division, suddenly said: "Commander He, that Fuyuan grain store in Taiyuan City should be one of our intelligence stations, right?" ”

He Zhengdao, who heard this, was a little surprised but nodded and said, "Not bad!" The shopkeeper of Fuyuan Grain Bank is our people. The guys from the grain store, a few of them were scouts sent by my reconnaissance brigade to lurk there. ”

However, how did Chief of Staff Zhou guess their identities? ’

Facing He Zhengdao's curiosity, Zhou Shidi also smiled bitterly: "I just feel a little suspicious, but there is no solid evidence." When our guerrillas were operating in Lou Fu a few days ago, they robbed a large amount of grain.

According to the report of the captain of the guerrillas, it was this Fuyuan grain store that delivered this batch of grain to the little devils at that time. I find it a little suspicious that the guerrillas were only harassing at that time, and did not really launch a strong attack.

The grain line that could escort the grain only hastily resisted, and then threw a batch of grain on the road. I heard that because of this incident, the grain store also lost a lot of money to the little devil! ”

He Zhengdao didn't know too much about the situation provided by Zhou Shidi, but he said with some understanding: "When they encounter their own people robbing the little devil's things, they will naturally not resolutely resist." Anyway, it's all my own family, and I won't lose if I rob it.

As for compensation, as long as you give some money, I believe that the little devil will not be too aggressive. If you really want to talk about it, this old devil Itagaki is still very smart. On his side in Shanxi, most of the things that were transported to the troops were through the grain stores in the city.

If these grains were robbed by us, it would be those grain stores that would lose their money, and the Japanese army would have lost nothing. The most important thing is that the little devils seem to know that our troops will not fight the idea of ordinary caravans. This can be regarded as a secret crossing of Chen Cang! ”

After explaining with a smile, He Zhengdao did not hide the true identity of Fuyuan Grain Bank. After all, when the Battle of Taiyuan starts, the identities of these people in Fuyuan Grain Bank will also be turned public from underground.

If they are not suitable for the intelligence officers who stay in Taiyuan, they will also be sent on new missions, and perhaps return to the army to take up new positions. In short, the importance of these intelligence officers to the Eighth Route Army is still self-evident! (To be continued.) )
