At present, only a very small number of people in the Central Committee and the General Headquarters know about the plans for the Shanxi operation. Before the battle began, the more secrecy such a military operation is, the better. Only in this way can the Japanese army in Shanxi be taken by surprise.

From the time he put forward the campaign idea to the approval of the central government and the headquarters, He Zhengdao's information was controlled within a very small range. The assembled troops of the Suicha-Hebei Military Region, which has already launched combat readiness mobilization, are also unaware of this task.

However, in He Zhengdao's view, if all the troops had to be transferred from the Suichaji Military Region, the number of troops needed and the distance to be transferred would somewhat outweigh the losses, and it was undoubtedly important to find the cooperation of local troops.

Previously, with several main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, they were successively dispatched from the Shanxi battlefield to other places. Now the troops in charge of Shanxi are only the 120th Division commanded by General He Lao and the 118th Division commanded by Luo Shanhui.

Today, these two main divisions are the troops of the Eighth Route Army that are at the forefront of Shanxi and often fight against the Japanese army. The two newly expanded main divisions of the headquarters, even if they took over the two main divisions that marched into Henan, are still in the process of training and running-in.

Therefore, in He Zhengdao's battle plan, the two newly formed main divisions of the Eighth Route Army were more responsible for stabilizing the rear and acting as the main reserve forces. The real pillars should be the 120th Division and the 118th Division.

Of course, before the Shanxi reconquest campaign began, He Zhengdao would also transfer a main division from the Suichaji Military Region. With the reconnaissance independent regiment in Changzhi and the reconnaissance brigade that may come over at that time, the troops should still be enough.

When talking about the battle plan, looking at the guards who had already bought back the meat and started to grill the skewers, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Mr. He, let's go to the study!" As for the battle plan, it is necessary to keep it secret at this stage.

I asked Xiaoya to steam some wowotou and then put down a bowl of noodles, and we talked while eating. In this operation, the most important thing is how to take the little devil by surprise. As long as this idea can be successful, Shanxi can be liberated at the lowest cost. ”

'Okay, this is your territory, we all listen to you!' ’

As a military commander, Mr. He naturally knows the importance of secrecy. Even if they were discussing outside the cave, the guards who were on the right path would not be listened to. But it's undoubtedly safer to go into the room and discuss.

The most important thing is that the weather is relatively cool at the moment, and staying outside for a long time will still make people feel uncomfortable. Now that the location of the meeting has been changed to the study, it will be more comfortable to eat and talk at the same time.

After entering He Zhengdao's study, looking at the bookshelves full of books, Mr. He also sighed and said: "Your study is called a real study!" Where did you get all the books on the shelves? ”

As an old revolutionary, Mr. He's family was poor in his early years, and he only studied in private school for five years, and later dropped out of school and went home to follow his father as a tailor. Later, when Cai Ye launched the 'anti-Yuan and national protection' movement, he finally organized a team to fight against Yuan and served as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army.

Mr. He, who has read some books, knows very well the role of books for everyone. Although there are also printing factories in the central government, books are still rare for ordinary poor people!

In the face of Mr. He's inquiry, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "I have read some of the books above, but I haven't read them all. Some of these books were given to me by the chairman, and some of them were collected by my father-in-law.

He and my mother-in-law were both scholars, and in their early years, their family was also a scholarly family in Beiping. Later, the little devil entered Beiping, he didn't bring too many external objects, but pulled a lot of books hidden at home to Yan'an.

Knowing that I like to read and am not a picky eater, he sent me such a bunch of books. Usually idle and have nothing to do, but you can also read more books and have a long knowledge. However, it has been a while since I moved here, and I really don't have much time to dedicate myself to studying. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, Mr. He didn't ask much. Not long after, He Zhengdao took down a bundle of military maps from the bookshelf. Looking at these military maps, Luo Shanhui on the side also felt a little envious.

said: "You kid can! Collected so many maps of little devils? I look at the military map of the whole of North China, you should have it here, right? On the mapping, the military map made by the little devil is indeed more detailed than ours! ”

Not really! It's just that at this stage we don't have a dedicated surveyor. In the early years, the little devil sent a large number of surveyors to collect our map data all over the country under various names.

It can also be seen from this that the little devil has really been plotting against us for a long time. Most of the maps I have collected here were also captured by front-line troops. Not only the military maps of North and Central China, but also some in the Northeast.

If we had a map, it would be easier for us to do some reproducing. When drawing up a battle plan, it is not completely on paper. It's just that this military map of Shanxi was drawn by my reconnaissance unit. ’

Looking at this military map involving the entire territory of Shanxi, Mr. He also said with a little envy: "There are capable people under him, and he has indeed solved a lot of trouble!" Your reconnaissance unit is truly enviable! ”

In this way, it is also recognized by Luo Shanhui. Even their divisions have formed reconnaissance regiments directly under the division headquarters. But compared to the reconnaissance brigade under He Zhengdao, they all knew that they couldn't compare at all.

Looking at the somewhat envious and jealous eyes of the two, He Zhengdao could only say: "After the liberation of Shanxi, I will ask the central government and the headquarters to conduct an internal reconnaissance unit training." When the time comes, you will send some officers and men with a literate background to participate.

If I have time, I will give them a few lessons in person. If I don't have time, I will also send officers with rich combat experience from the reconnaissance brigade to give them lessons and teach them as much reconnaissance knowledge as possible. ”

'That's a good idea! However, when the time comes, give us two more training places! Nowadays, the officers who come out of your Yulin Teaching Corps are in high demand in any unit.

The battalion and company commanders sent by our division to teach the troops in training have brought many new combat ideas and methods to the troops after they returned. There has also been great progress in the training of troops. It's just that there are too few such talents! ’

As for the training of the Eighth Route Army's teaching troops, it is also a training camp that many officers of the Eighth Route Army battalion company dream of increasing. As long as they are qualified to enter the teaching corps, these officers participating in the training will be the first choice for promotion to regimental battalion commanders in the future.

Even now, many people say that Kang Da in Yan'an is a school for promotion to division and brigade commanders. The teaching unit in Yulin is a military academy that is promoted to regimental battalion commander. No matter what school you enter, it is a symbol of affirmation by the party and the army!

It's just that compared with Kang Da's side, he teaches more political theories. When you go to the Yulin Teaching Corps for training, you can learn the latest combat methods, as well as get in touch with more advanced weapons and combat theory knowledge.

In short, no matter which school, as long as there is an opportunity to participate, the officers will not refuse. It's a pity that both Kang Da and the teaching corps have strict requirements for training places and selection.

After chatting about these gossips, He Zhengdao spread out the military map of the entire territory of Shanxi drawn by the reconnaissance brigade, and followed the two main division commanders who needed to cooperate with the operation in the future, and talked about the idea of the Shanxi operation.

Pointing to the several areas currently controlled by the Japanese army, He Zhengdao restrained his expression and said: "Mr. He, Division Commander Luo, according to the information we have detected so far, the Japanese army has probably deployed about two divisions in these places in Shanxi.

Among them, the strongest combat effectiveness should be the Itagaki Division stationed near Taiyuan, which is also the fifth division of the Japanese army. This is a division of the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is still very strong.

In addition, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, which currently controls Changzhi and Jinzhong, although the establishment of troops still exists. But in fact, the elite of this division has suffered serious losses in several battles with us.

Most of the troops that were added later were also recruited from other parts of the Japanese army. Although the combat effectiveness is also good, compared to the genuine little devils, the combat effectiveness of those second devils can only be said to be average. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Mr. He was also surprised: "I really don't know if I don't know this, I was shocked when I heard it." You kid has a plan for Shanxi, I'm afraid it should have been there for a long time, right? ”

'Hey, hey! The last time I grabbed the little devil's things, I was planning how to take down Shanxi. The boss should know that as long as Shanxi is taken, when we fight the Japanese army in North China, we can really attack and retreat! ’

Judging from the development of the base area, with Shanxi as a buffer land, Shaanxi only needs to pay attention to the movements of the two horses in the future. To the north, there is an independent column in charge, and to the south, when Henan is taken, it is aware that Shaanxi is a large rear.

If there is another Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army can be regarded as having the foundation and capital to rise. This is still very important for the Eighth Route Army to come to the fore in the future, in He Zhengdao's view.

As the two main division commanders in charge of Shanxi's defense, they also knew that if they wanted to get out of Shanxi, they also needed to pacify Shanxi before they had the opportunity to go out to fight. As soldiers, why don't they want to open up and regain lost territory!

'So how are you going to fight this battle?' With only our three main divisions, if we want to fight hard with Itagaki, I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. In the past year or so, the little devil has built a lot of stable fortifications near Taiyuan! ’

In Mr. He's view, being able to liberate the entire territory of Shanxi will naturally have many benefits for the Eighth Route Army. But in the same way, how to recover it at the lowest cost is the problem they need to consider.

In the past year or so, their two main divisions have also clashed with the Shanxi Dispatch Army many times, and it is clear that the Shanxi Dispatch Army is not easy to mess with. If you really hit the record of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, in Mr. He's opinion, it will be a little more than worth the loss! (To be continued.) )
