Compared with the division commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susumu did not feel happy but extremely angry when he received the news of breaking through the position of the 77th Army from the front. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoFeng Zhi'an, who was retreating to the rear, seemed very happy.

Leave the entire military training regiment and the troops on the front line, and only take some troops guarding the rear, and accelerate the retreat to the rear. Feng Zhi'an also knew that the consequences waiting for him would not be too good, and no one would look down on the commander of the army.

But as far as Feng Zhi'an is concerned, he knows very well that it is impossible to withdraw to the rear with the main force. His troops, without the ability of He Zhengdao's troops, are very good at walking at night, and can even march covertly during the day.

Once they withdraw unhappily and let the main force of the Third Division bite it, the fate that awaits them may be the annihilation of the whole army. And now that he is in charge of all this to Qiu Jingshan, or the Eighth Route Army, he feels very relieved.

Even if he reaches the rear, he may be retreated or even imprisoned by Lao Jiang because of the unfavorable battle. But for Feng Zhi'an, as long as those old subordinates can live, or even have a better future in the future, he feels that it is worth it.

Maybe one day in the future, he will be able to have a better future with today's decision. Retreating with only a group of people from the military department, at least the target is a little smaller, and it can also attract the attention of some little devils.

Even in order to give Qiu Jingshan more rights, Feng Zhi'an took the two main division commanders away. Even if it was found out earlier, the military commanders sent by the Central Army, as well as those who were not on the right path with the Eighth Route Army, were taken away.

This means that Qiu Jingshan, who has arrived at the front line, can completely take over his position. With those units of the 77th Army who remained on the front line, they continued to carry out armed resistance behind enemy lines under the command and leadership of the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving a telegram from Qiu Jingshan, he learned that the Japanese army had captured the two lines of defense in Xuji, but the loss of troops was less than a battalion. Feng Zhi'an knew that his decision was extremely correct.

On the other hand, the attacking Japanese army, in addition to consuming a lot of shells, also buried at least one infantry brigade and one cavalry brigade in the hands of his 77th Army. As a military commander, Feng Zhi'an felt very happy.

Looking at the two division commanders who retreated with him, Feng Zhi'an smiled and said, "Now do you still think that I have too much power to Jingshan?" If it were any of you, would you be able to achieve such a record? ”

With a hint of pride, Feng Zhi'an asked the two cronies and subordinates. Before, I felt that Feng Zhi'an trusted Qiu Jingshan, the two division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, but he was really speechless at the moment.

For them, retreating to the rear means not dying. But leaving behind the vast majority of the troops under their control, they seem to be somewhat reluctant. After all, a division commander who does not have military power, I'm afraid that not too many people will pay attention to it.

In such a troubled era, if you want to save your life or get promoted and make a fortune, you must have power and soldiers at the same time. But they all knew that the commander was more concerned about whether those old subordinates could survive this blockade.

If it were any of them, responsible for commanding the battle on the front line, they would not be able to beat Qiu Jingshan's record. This also means that the ending that awaits them and those old subordinates may be death after all.

And He Zhengdao, who was on the Huaibin front line at this moment, received a telegram from Qiu Jingshan, and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to Qiu Jingshan, and ask him to retreat in the direction of Yinshan with the main force of the infantry brigade."

Tell them that after entering Yinshan, we will take them to the camp in the mountain to rest. After entering the camp in the mountains, their first task was to rest and recuperate, and to raise the morale of the troops.

As for the battle on the front, our new 67th Army will be in charge of the next. When the time is right, I will give them new combat missions. However, before carrying out the mission, we must make clear some of our rules and regulations.

For those who are willing to join the Eighth Route Army, we also welcome them with raised hands. For those who are worried, we are not reluctant. In short, during the rest and recuperation period, the main work of the troops is to carry out investigation and ideological and political propaganda.

Oh, by the way, send a telegram to Comrade Shaoqi. The last time he came here, he brought with him a lot of propaganda officers from the central government. Let him select a few capable propaganda officers to do this work.

There is a situation to pay proper attention to, and try not to be too obvious when selecting people. After all, we and the 77th Army are friendly troops, and we still have to pay attention to some proportions in propaganda. ”

'Commander, you mean, you're worried that the cadres from the headquarters are too extreme? ’

As the chief of staff, Luo Ruiqing, when he heard He Zhengdao say these words, most of them knew about political propaganda work, and sometimes they really had to divide who they were. For these soldiers from the Northwest Army and the Central Army, many political cadres of the Eighth Route Army do not like it.

In particular, some young political cadres have little experience in this kind of propaganda. When implementing the policies of the Eighth Route Army, it often appeared to be very rigid. This is undoubtedly not suitable for many veterans who are accustomed to freedom.

However, these veterans, once they join the army, will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Therefore, when doing this work, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to some methods and strategies.

Facing Luo Ruiqing's inquiry, He Zhengdao nodded with a smile: "A little!" After all, many of the political work cadres brought by Comrade Shaoqi this time are young cadres with rich theoretical experience, but they are very lacking in actual combat experience.

When Comrade Shaoqi came here before, I also mentioned to him that these outstanding political cadres should be sent to our guerrilla units to adapt to them. Let them know that theory must also be combined with practice to produce truth.

As long as you explain this situation in the telegram, I believe that Comrade Shao Qi should know my worries. In this situation, I would rather recruit fewer people than incur internal hidden dangers that may occur in the future in order to recruit people. ”

In He Zhengdao's view, many newly established colleges and universities in Yan'an have indeed cultivated a group of young and outstanding political cadres. After receiving political education in school, these people are undoubtedly politically loyal and radical.

It's just that these people don't have much practical experience, and even some people don't know what the army is like at all. It is okay to do propaganda, but if you want to do ideological work, it is estimated that there are some problems, and contradictions are also prone to occur.

Now they are behind enemy lines, and in the future, they will be surrounded by enemies. If the interior is unstable, sometimes there will be a big mess. It is precisely because of this concern that He Zhengdao will be particularly careful when dispatching political workers.

Even He Zhengdao understands that the principle of the party's command of the gun cannot be changed. But in wartime, the commander of the unit is the core of the unit. Whether the troops can fight or not is a matter of concern to him.

These troops were left by Feng Zhi'an and planned to be handed over to the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army, if He Zhengdao was not interested, it would naturally be a lie. No matter what, there are more than 10,000 troops sent to the front line by Feng Zhi'an.

If these troops can be smoothly integrated, it means that the Eighth Route Army can add a main division of troops in the Xinyang area. Even this unit, after some reorganization and training, can be pulled to the battlefield to face the little devils.

Replacing with recruits recruited from the civilian sector has not been tested and baptized by the war, and it will take longer to come in handy. It is precisely because of these considerations that He Zhengdao will make a special admonition.

With the establishment of the Central China Bureau and its operation, He Zhengdao will not block some of the rights owned by the Central China Bureau. Something like dispatching political cadres is naturally one of the responsibilities of the Central China Bureau.

It's just that He Zhengdao doesn't want to see internal instability in the troops because of these dispatched cadres. If that is the case, no matter which political cadre is involved, He Zhengdao will drive him away.

After receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao, Liu Shaoqi, who had been stationed in the Central China Bureau, also seemed to be very busy during this time. However, to his gratification, the new 67 th Army had a lot of strategic resources in reserve in the early stage.

With its two major victories, the New 67th Army has a lot of resources in terms of weapons, ammunition, and food. What even made Liu Shaoqi sigh was that He Zhengdao had helped solve a lot of the financial problems he had been worried about.

And what makes Liu Shaoqi even more pleased is that He Zhengdao knows what his position is, and he is also very cooperative with him, the old chief, in his actions. Even in the eyes of many people, He Zhengdao is Mao Taizu's henchman.

But after coming over this time, Liu Shaoqi also found that He Zhengdao's overall view really did not match his age. is sophisticated and sleek, but I am afraid that many people who are older than He Zhengdao and have an older party experience can't compare.

Knowing that He Zhengdao successfully received more than half of the main force of the 77th Army, Liu Shaoqi also knew that this matter was very important. As for He Zhengdao's telegram that he hoped that the Central China Bureau would send some experienced political cadres to the grassroots level, he naturally understood the implication.

In the end, Liu Shaoqi coordinated some political work cadres from the front line and Xiao Jinguang, and Luo Nonghuan transferred some political work cadres from the army to take charge of this matter together with the cadres of the Central China Bureau.

In this way, it can also ensure that these cadres can carry out their work smoothly when they get there. At least Liu Shaoqi also knows that He Zhengdao is a key figure in whether the Central China Bureau can open up the situation in the future.

Mao Taizu, who has always been concerned about the situation in Central China, also felt very relieved when he received telegrams from the Central China Bureau and Xiao Jinguang from time to time. As far as he is concerned, sending Liu Shaoqi to serve as the secretary of the Central China Bureau actually has some worries.

Now it seems that He Zhengdao has cooperated very well, which means that the work of the Central China Bureau can also be carried out smoothly. And this kind of cooperation will also make He Zhengdao add a lot of points in the hearts of the party's top leaders.

With this mature style and He Zhengdao's prestige in the army, Mao Taizu believed that He Zhengdao would have no problem becoming an alternate member at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee in the near future.

It's just that in the current situation, it is really not easy to gather the high-level leaders of the party and the army to gather in Yan'an for a meeting. After all, at the moment, whether in North China or Central China, there is gunsmoke everywhere.

When the situation can calm down, it may also depend on what new situation the front-line troops can play next! (To be continued.) )
