Chapter 614 Don't forget your roots

(PS: Ask for a few monthly passes to support it!) )

With the end of the Battle of Wuhan, the original situation of the two armies playing against each other was no longer visible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Japanese fighters still appear in the sky over Central China every day, it is difficult to see large-scale air raids.

It's just that the smoke of the big war has passed, but small-scale raids and disturbances have occurred one after another. For the two Japanese divisions stationed in Xinyang, they also couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, and they still had to prepare for the next attack.

In addition to sending troops to clear out the rebels operating around the county every day, the 3rd and 13th divisions of the Japanese army were all retained in the Xinyang area. The intelligence department of the Japanese army was also frantically inquiring about the location of He Zhengdao's headquarters.

It is a pity that after He Zhengdao dispersed the troops, he still implemented radio command. As for the operations of the various units, He Zhengdao did not interfere too much. In He Zhengdao's words, as long as there is a profit, then all units can fight.

If you win, you will be rewarded, and if you lose, you will naturally be punished. This is also the strategy that He Zhengdao has always emphasized, if you want to live a good life in the guerrilla zone, you must win more battles and use the supplies of the little devils to supply your troops.

After Song Yuping found it, the next day He Zhengdao's headquarters began to move from Huangchuan. This practice of changing the location of the headquarters from time to time made it extremely difficult for the Japanese intelligence department to carry out reconnaissance.

On the other hand, the troops that have been dispersed to various guerrilla areas can also feel the freedom of operational command given to them by He Zhengdao. Whether or not they can win the battle and let the troops live a good life depends on the level of their commanders.

Considering that the Japanese army was currently standing still in Xinyang, He Zhengdao also ordered the main force under his command to begin to rest in the mountains. Even if you go out to fight, you will take turns to fight.

Although He Zhengdao guessed that these two divisions of the Japanese army were only stationed here for the purpose of attacking Zhengzhou. But he also knew that Jiang Dingwen's troops were around Xinyang, and they still gathered a lot of main forces.

The two divisions of the Japanese army must not be easy to capture Zhengzhou smoothly. The biggest headache for the Japanese army is that as soon as their main force leaves, Xinyang, the rear area that has just been occupied, may change the sky.

It was precisely with these in mind that the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Xi Junliu, gave the two divisions a combat mission to clear out the rebel forces active in the Xinyang and Dabie Mountains areas and ensure that their rear defense and supply lines would not be cut off.

Even after the occupation of Wuhan, the Japanese army also transferred a large number of strategic materials to Wuhan for storage. Whether it was to attack Zhengzhou or Chongqing, they needed to have sufficient material reserves before they dared to attack the Central Army again.

The Central Army, which had always emphasized the lack of troops, had now deployed heavy troops on the periphery of Xinyang. It's just that according to the information mastered by the Eighth Route Army, Jiang Dingwen, who is sitting in Zhengzhou, is already secretly transferring Zhengzhou's war preparation materials.

It seems that taking the opportunity of the heavy concentration of the two divisions of the Japanese army in Xinyang, these materials and troops were transferred to the area bordering Hubei. On the other hand, on the Lanfeng front, the Central Army only deployed a very small number of troops.

This kind of arming doesn't seem to be a problem. It's just that discerning people know that Jiang Dingwen's deployment will only give the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of. After all, the Japanese army did not have other troops around Henan.

It was with these in mind that He Zhengdao felt the need to talk to Liu Shaoqi about the next operational deployment in Central China. If the two divisions deployed by the Japanese army in Xinyang do not move, it will be difficult for them to turn the situation around with their strength alone.

Moreover, judging from the current battlefield situation, He Zhengdao felt that the Japanese army's offensive was very likely to start from the border between Henan and Shandong. There, the Eighth Route Army had only one 117th Division, and it must have been difficult to stop the Japanese attack on Henan.

Arriving at the Central China Bureau's station in Xinxian County, Liu Shaoqi, who also did not send a telegram when he came, also looked a little surprised, but said with a smile: "Righteousness, why don't you send a telegram when you come over?" Everything went smoothly on the way, right? ”

'Little devils have been doing a lot on the radio lately, and I'm afraid they'll decipher our telegrams. Therefore, if you can send as few telegrams as possible, you should send them as little as possible. I was also familiar with this place, and I thought that there were some things to discuss with the old chief, so I came over. ’

At the invitation of Liu Shaoqi, He Zhengdao soon met Chen Yi, who was also reporting here. According to the new instructions of the Central Committee, Mao Taizu hoped that Chen Yi would go to Yan'an and attend the upcoming Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee in addition to reporting on his work.

Seeing this future marshal, He Zhengdao also said politely: "Director Chen, hello! I haven't seen you in a long time! ”

This title is also the name He Zhengdao gave to Chen Yi, the director of the government office, when he was a guard for Mao Taizu in the southern Jiangxi Soviet District. It's just that after the Long March, this is the first time the two have met.

On the other hand, when Chen Yi saw He Zhengdao, he also smiled and patted He Zhengdao's shoulder and said, "In the blink of an eye, you kid has become the commander of the first army and the national general." Oh, yes! It's been a long time since I've seen you, but I've heard a lot about you! ”

'The old chief said seriously, what is my point in this matter! Originally, I came here earlier, and I wanted to go to southern Anhui to see you and other old leaders. It's a pity that the little devil didn't give me this chance at all! ’

Be humble! Others don't know, and I don't know what you're capable of? I have to say, the soldiers you brought are really powerful. Now the saber is in our New Fourth Army, and it is a unit that everyone yearns to participate in the training!

But this time, you took the initiative to send it to the door, and you had to invite me to drink two drinks that night anyway. Speaking of which, you are also one of the landlords, so you won't tell me that the landlord's family has no surplus grain, right? ’

Although in terms of position, He Zhengdao has been ahead of many people. But seeing that He Zhengdao was still so polite to himself, Chen Yi still felt very comfortable. Being a man without forgetting his roots is also a good character!

Hearing that he wanted to drink, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Old chief, I'm afraid I can't help this!" At this point, we should let the real landlord treat us! However, how about I prepare the appetizers? ”

'Well, it's a rare opportunity to get together here, and this wine should be drunk. Speaking of which, I'm curious about what you brought with you. If the hospitality is bad, don't blame me for not giving me wine! ’

As the secretary of the Central China Bureau, Liu Shaoqi also knows that the two in front of him are both members of the Party Committee of the Central China Bureau. One represents the New 67th Army and the other represents the New Fourth Army. Having the opportunity to sit down and talk together is also conducive to work.

Seeing that Liu Shaoqi also made fun of himself, He Zhengdao said calmly: "Don't worry, I came prepared this time." On the way over, I happened to bump into a litter of boars. I had them encircled and annihilated, and they were all solved with a bow and crossbow.

Added up, there are hundreds of catties of meat. I believe the old chief should be satisfied with this food expense, right? In the evening, let the cooking class have a whole pig feast, and I will also discuss the amount of wine with the two old chiefs, how about it? ”

'Did you hear that?' This kid's tone is getting bigger and bigger, and he's still drinking with the two of us? However, I really haven't tasted meat in a while, and today thanks to you, I can finally have a good meal. ’

Liu Shaoqi, who replied to He Zhengdao with a smile, although he didn't encounter too much trouble after coming over. However, as the troops moved to the mountainous areas to fight, Liu Shaoqi still instructed the troops to use as much as possible to save some of the materials they had stored before.

After all, no one knows how long the little devils will lock off here, and a lot of supplies can only be replenished through seizures. If they can't win the battle, then they can only sit and eat. Stock up on more supplies, and be prepared!

As for meat, it is also difficult for them to procure it if they stay in the mountains. Although the troops also organize hunting, for the sake of safety, the guard troops are also not allowed to shoot in the mountains at will unless there are special circumstances.

No one knows if random shooting and hunting will attract spies from the little devils. If the little devil knew that the Central China Bureau would hide in the deep mountains of Xinxian County and send heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, the Central China Bureau would have to be transferred.

After catching up on the old days, Liu Shaoqi found the person in charge of the cooking class and asked him to accept the 'food expenses' brought by He Zhengdao. In addition to preparing a table of all-pig feasts for the three of them, the entire headquarters also had an extra meal of meat.

For such an order, the person in charge of the cooking class naturally agreed. Staying in the mountains and eating potatoes and vegetables every day, you will still get tired of it. It is also a very happy thing to be able to eat a meal of meat once in a while.

If you want to get the meal ready, it will naturally take a little time. Taking advantage of this time, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Two old chiefs, I have some things to do when I come over this time, and I need to discuss them with the two old leaders.

While there's still a little time, let's discuss it together! If nothing else, after a while, I am afraid that I will have to return to Yan'an once. I believe that the two old leaders should have also received a telegram from the central government, right? ”

'Roger! However, I still have to give an account of what I have at hand before I can get to it. As for Comrade Zhonghong (Chen Yi), he will also pass in a few days. The Central Committee and the Headquarters also have to listen to his work report. ’

Although the three of them had to go back to Yan'an for a meeting, for the sake of safety, it was impossible for the three of them to go on the road together. If you go on the road in batches, the target is also smaller, and it is relatively safer.

Knowing that He Zhengdao came over in person, there must be something inconvenient to talk about in the telegram, Liu Shaoqi also warmly greeted the two of them to his office, and asked the guards to bring tea and prepare for a small meeting.

After listening to He Zhengdao's analysis of the Japanese army's next moves, Liu Shaoqi said with a slight frown: "You mean, the two divisions deployed by the Japanese army around us may be the troops of the feint?" ”

It cannot be said that it is a feint attack, but it can only be said that these two Japanese divisions will not all be dispatched. If the Central Army was on Lanfeng's side and still deployed heavy troops, perhaps the Japanese army would choose to break through from here.

From the information we currently control, Jiang Dingwen seems to be deliberately arranging the main force here. If this situation is known to the little devils, they will definitely draw troops from Shandong and launch an attack on Zhengzhou from the north.

If this really turned out to be the case, Jiang Dingwen would definitely retreat the main force to the place where their First Army was located. In this way, the whole territory of Henan may fall. At that time, we may be trapped by the Japanese army! ’

As soon as such an analysis came out, including Chen Yi, they felt a little tricky. After all, if they stayed in Shaanxi, if the central army was blocking Henan, they only needed to deal with the Japanese army in North China. But as soon as Zhengzhou was lost, this flank was exposed under the little devil's eyelids! (To be continued.) )
