After convening a meeting of the guerrilla leaders in the Fuyang area, He Zhengdao left Fuyang after the meeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoExcept for the leaders of the guerrillas who participated in the meeting, many people did not know that He Zhengdao had left Xinyang and arrived in Fuyang.

Through this meeting, He Zhengdao will prepare to submit the situation he will see in the guerrilla areas of Fuyang to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters for deliberation in the form of written records. In He Zhengdao's view, the base areas should not only focus on the armed war of resistance.

It is also very necessary to appropriately adjust the focus of the work of these guerrilla units in the base areas. The growth of the guerrillas' strength behind enemy lines undoubtedly increased the strength of the Eighth Route Army, but it also increased the burden on the local people.

At least in Ho's view, the guerrillas can be used as a reserve force for the main force, and the militia is the reserve force for the guerrillas. Increasing the number of militia troops is much more important than increasing the number of guerrillas.

The increase in the number of people who rushed to the idea of 'being a soldier carrying a gun and eating food' certainly made the expansion of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines develop rapidly. Correspondingly, many villages in the guerrilla areas have become villages where the elderly, the weak, women and children are concentrated.

This situation has undoubtedly exacerbated the poverty and danger of these villages. If a certain number of militia troops can be maintained in the villages, it will not only ensure that the villages have a certain degree of self-defense capability, but also ensure the agricultural production of the villages.

Judging from the current form, the mode of armed resistance behind enemy lines in the occupied areas of national unification should be different from that of armed resistance behind enemy lines in North China. It is also a very dangerous thing to only expand the army without paying attention to production.

Considering that he was going to return to Yan'an for a meeting this time, He Zhengdao also imparted some ideas that were typical for later generations and suitable for rural poverty alleviation and prosperity to the responsible persons of the guerrillas, and asked them to carry them out in the fortress villages in the base areas.

Methods such as 'earthworm chicken-raising' are also applicable to many Chinese villages. Even the children and the elderly in the village can be responsible for such a thing. And eggs and broilers can also provide nutrition for the troops.

In what He Zhengdao said to the responsible persons of the guerrilla units, it is necessary to learn how to adapt measures to local conditions and lead the people in the base areas to live a good life. In addition to providing security for the people, we must also find ways to lead the people to live a life of food and clothing.

Let the people in the base areas truly see the benefits of being united with the guerrillas. Sometimes, when the troops have captured in the war, they also have to give some extra benefits to the people, providing some food and clothing to distribute to the people.

Let the people really see and realize that the Eighth Route Army is a team that loves the people and is a force that sincerely serves the people. The trust built in this way will be much stronger than the usual slogans.

With some golden ideas provided by He Zhengdao, the leaders of the various guerrilla units also began to conduct experiments in some fortress villages. Although there was no effect in the short term, the common people could still feel that the guerrillas were doing practical things for them.

Even after the conference, some guerrilla units began to practice the practice of streamlining their administration. A group of middle-aged fighters, who were too old to stay in the guerrillas, were persuaded to return to their villages.

Naturally, the guerrillas will not ignore these fighters who are persuaded to return. Instead, these people were asked to serve as militia captains in their respective villages, and the guerrillas provided them with guns and ammunition to form a militia in addition to certain material subsidies.

In addition, some bandit forces who were active in Fuyang in the name of resisting Japan also began to receive ultimatums from the guerrillas. For those who refused to accept the reorganization, the guerrillas organized their troops to carry out armed conscription.

The little devils who learned about this situation also did not quite understand what the guerrillas were doing. However, the guerrillas' actions to eliminate the bandit forces still had some impact on them, and many of the bandit forces supported by them would be wiped out.

Without these local snakes, the little devil city defense troops who monitor the place for them and garrison the county towns know very little about the situation in the countryside and mountains. But the guerrillas cleared out the bandits, but they were still able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The bandit forces who really had the intention to resist Japan could only accept the fate of being reorganized after realizing that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were serious. Young bandits who were not fit to join the revolutionary ranks were also persuaded to return to their villages.

After receiving some ideological education, the guerrillas incorporated them into the militia units of the villages. As a result of this readjustment, the guerrillas suddenly found that their guerrilla zones had become more secure and stable than before.

In the past, the little devils attacked their fortress village at every turn, but now this situation is decreasing. Without the bandits who supported them as the 'leading party', it would have been difficult for the little devils' anti-suppression troops to know where the guerrillas were.

The stability of the rear also allowed the guerrilla brigades to concentrate more on dealing with the little devil troops stationed in the county seat. This meeting also opened up many solid base areas behind enemy lines in the south for the Eighth Route Army in the future.

Of course, that's all for later. He Zhengdao, who left Fuyang, walked not fast but not slow along the way. When he arrived in Wuyang, he sent a telegram to Li Xiangdong, who was sitting here.

Knowing that He Zhengdao had arrived in Wuyang, Li Xiangdong also looked surprised and said, "What? The commander actually came to us? Why, the troops below us did not report in advance? ”

As He Zhengdao's most trusted old subordinate, even if Li Xiangdong is used to this commander's elusive style. But what made him a little angry was that the troops he had formed in various places did not report the situation to him.

If something happens to He Zhengdao in the guerrilla zone he is responsible for, how will he explain it to his superiors at that time?

The chief of staff of the reconnaissance brigade who came with him said helplessly: "Brigade commander, you don't know the commander's temper. If he was secretly inspecting, how could he let others know his whereabouts?

With regard to the guerrilla units that we have deployed in various places, it will not be easy to find out the whereabouts of our commanders. This time, the commander came over, and it is estimated that he is also inspecting the work on our side, and he will also go to Division Commander Xu and them! ”

Regarding the matter of contacting the 117th Division, Li Xiangdong also reported to He Zhengdao after he arrived here. It's just that at that time, He Zhengdao clearly instructed that he would send someone to be in charge of this liaison work at that time.

As for Li Xiangdong's words, although he is a major general of the people, he is also a relatively outstanding brigade-level officer in the Eighth Route Army. But to talk to Xu Xiangqian on behalf of He Zhengdao, it is still somewhat insufficient.

After listening to the chief of staff's words, Li Xiangdong also said noncommittally: "Forget it, let's hurry up and see the commander!" By the way, you will be in charge of the affairs here, and I will bring the guards over.

Since the commander was reluctant to come to our station, he thought it was for the sake of secrecy. The two of us went together, but I am afraid that it will also arouse suspicion. If anyone asks about me, they will say that I have gone down to inspect the troops. ”

'Good! There you go! I'll send you a telegram to report what's going on. ’

Although the chief of staff also wanted to see He Zhengdao, in the telegram sent earlier, He Zhengdao also asked Li Xiangdong to meet him by name. In the entire reconnaissance brigade, everyone knows that Li Xiangdong is He Zhengdao's real hardcore confidant.

In the name of the General Headquarters Investigation Brigade, He Zhengdao, who was stationed in a village near the garrison of the reconnaissance brigade, inspected the same situation as in other places. Most of the time, I am with the common people, and from time to time I also repair the houses for the people.

Every time he entered the village, He Zhengdao rarely accepted gifts from the people. Even every time he left, he would leave some supplies for the village. This practice still made many people very grateful to this unit from the headquarters.

Although the appearance of He Zhengdao and these people also aroused the suspicion of some local guerrillas. Scouts that can be dispatched often find out about the perimeter of the special operations team as soon as they touch the vicinity of the village.

After presenting their documents, these guerrilla brigades will soon be instructed by their superiors. This unit is the investigation brigade sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to Central China. I didn't want to disturb the local troops, so I only visited some villages in the base area.

There is only one squad of guards who really accompanies He Zhengdao, and there are special combat personnel who act as peripheral guard patrols. The guard battalion that followed He Zhengdao would do some finishing work for He Zhengdao.

If there is any situation, the special operations team and the guard battalion that are following can also contact the nearby troops in time to ensure the safety of He Zhengdao. Most of the routes He Zhengdao took were relatively remote mountain village paths.

Similar to some roads where the Japanese army was more strictly inspected, He Zhengdao rarely went to it. Although these are time-consuming, they are safe. Occasionally, if you have to pass through some Japanese outposts, He Zhengdao will also ask the special operations team to solve them in advance.

Of course, the attack on these outposts also had to be blamed on the nearby guerrillas. And these guerrilla leaders who have been 'blamed' will also be ordered by their superiors to keep secrets.

When Li Xiangdong arrived at this small village with the guard company, he had not yet arrived at the entrance of the village. The guard team in charge of exploring the road found several people standing at the intersection. Seeing these people, Li Xiangdong's guards also quickly recognized each other.

'Ahh Isn't this the guard next to the commander? Could it be that the brigade commander came out this time not to inspect the troops, but to meet the commander here? ’

One of Li Xiangdong's guards quickly muttered these words. As a result, soon a guard squad leader said: "Okay, just be smart." Have you forgotten all about confidentiality discipline? Do more and talk less, you know? ”

As guards, these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army naturally had a better chance of seeing some of the leaders of the troops than others. However, it is precisely because of this that the first thing that officers and men who are qualified to enter the guard unit must learn is to keep secrets.

When the independent column selects the guard unit, the files of each officer and soldier have to go through a meticulous investigation. If there is any doubt about the background of the route, they will generally not be selected for the security unit.

This is also because of the special nature of the guard force, which does not allow any enemy agents to mix in and pose a deadly threat to the chiefs they protect! (To be continued.) )
