After receiving the telegram from the 117th Division, Mao Taizu, who was far away in Yan'an, and Mr. Zhu in Xi'an, both breathed a long sigh of relief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info arrived at the 117th Division, which means that He Zhengdao's safety is also more guaranteed.

Even if the little devils knew He Zhengdao's whereabouts by then, if they wanted to deal with He Zhengdao, it would not be as easy as it was in the enemy war zone before. In the vicinity of the 117th Division, the Eighth Route Army actually had quite a few troops behind enemy lines.

At present, the 129th Division, which is operating in the direction of Xingtai, has formed a tacit understanding with the 117th Division in cooperation with the operation. If the little devil wants to attack the area where the two divisions are located, he is afraid that he will have to organize heavy troops to do so.

The consequences of organizing a heavy sweep could lead to a fire in the rear. The sabotage battle carried out by the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines also caused heavy losses to the North China Front, and the fortresses built with manpower and material resources were also destroyed countless times.

Many guerrilla areas, which were originally separated, were successfully connected because of this raid. The Eighth Route Army was undoubtedly very happy with such a result. On the other hand, the little devil is naturally very depressed.

It can also be seen from this situation that the North China Front wants to eliminate the Eighth Route Army that entered North China to fight, unless it really gathers heavy troops. Otherwise, wanting to rely on the fortress siege to restrain the Eighth Route Army is basically a pipe dream.

Most importantly, with the Eighth Route Army setting off round after round of sabotage battles in North China. The people who were originally in the area ruled by the little devils gradually knew that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to protect their safety, lives and property.

Many people who knew how miserable life was under the rule of the little devil also joined the resistance of the Eighth Route Army one after another. The increase in the number of people supporting the Eighth Route Army naturally means that the strength of the Eighth Route Army is also constantly improving.

If it is not limited to the shortage of weapons, and the expansion of the troops also requires the consumption of a large amount of materials, the Eighth Route Army also intends to limit the main forces, and it is necessary to exercise restraint as much as possible in the expansion of the troops, so as to select the best of the best.

The troops thus expanded can also ensure a certain degree of combat effectiveness. From another point of view, at this moment, the Eighth Route Army has a certain advantage in the face of little devils behind enemy lines.

It's just that it's not yet time for a full-scale counteroffensive. For the Eighth Route Army, which was fighting behind enemy lines in North China, the Japanese Kwantung Army outside the border was also a difficulty they needed to face.

If the Kwantung Army really goes out to fight at this time, it will also bring great changes to the situation in North China. Fortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Kwantung Army in the northeast also does not dare to get out of the customs easily.

The previous battle with the Soviet Far Eastern Army let the little devil know that the Far Eastern Army is not easy to provoke. If they transfer the main force out of the customs, then the Soviet Far East Army will take the opportunity to send troops, and I am afraid that the northeast base, which is very important to them, will also come to naught.

It was only this stalemate that the Soviet Union began to focus on Europe as Germany initiated a war in Europe. The Soviet Union and Japan, which were supposed to be at odds with each other, will soon sign a non-aggression condition.

In this way, the Kwantung Army, which was stationed in the northeast at that time, would definitely mobilize the main force to the south. In addition, the current shipment of aid materials from Mongolia to China may also be interrupted. At that time, it will be a difficult time for the Eighth Route Army.

This time when he returned to Yan'an for a meeting, He Zhengdao would also find Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu to discuss how to deal with such a situation. If you don't prepare early, the Eighth Route Army will still suffer a big loss.

At least in He Zhengdao's view, if there is a chance in the future, he will also lead his troops to recover those territories that were annexed during the Tsarist period. The key depends on whether the Eighth Route Army can have the strength to defeat the Japanese army as soon as possible.

Another point that He Zhengdao is more concerned about is the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, which is still fighting behind enemy lines in the Northeast. At this time, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was really having a hard time in the Northeast.

If the Soviet Union and the Japanese army reach an agreement in the future, the situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation will be even more dangerous. Now that he knows about these crises, He Zhengdao also hopes that he can do his best to resolve and reverse this unfavorable situation.

The best way to do this is to burn the flames of the offensive into the northeast, which is currently regarded as a rear base by the Japanese army. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, which followed the Sino-Soviet border, formed a flank attack from the front and rear, and did its best to eliminate the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast.

If the Kwantung Army can be eliminated as soon as possible, then the Eighth Route Army will be able to liberate the north in advance. Once this strategic plan is completed, the cooperation or confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army will occupy a dominant advantage in the future.

Perhaps it can also take advantage of the major changes and turning points in the world pattern during World War II to re-establish the status of the eastern powers, so that China can become a military power that can compete with other European and American powers.

Of course, if you want to do this, even if He Zhengdao sometimes thinks about it, he also feels that there is a long way to go!

However, if there are ideas, they must be implemented, and if there are ideals, they must be realized. It is rare for God to give him such an opportunity, and He Zhengdao feels that it is a lifelong regret not to leave anything.

As He Zhengdao stepped into the boundary of Shen County, the troops responsible for serving as outposts connected with the perimeter guard troops of the 117th Division. Along the way, under the escort of these vigilant troops, He Zhengdao also quickly appeared at the location of the division headquarters of the 117th Division.

Seeing the members of the party committee of the division headquarters, they actually appeared at the intersection of the headquarters together. The officers and men of the alert unit in the name of escort were also taken aback. In their opinion, the face of this independent group is too big!

In fact, they knew there, except for the three who acted as guides. The rest of these elite officers and soldiers, who seemed to be obviously a little taciturn, were not the troops of their 117th Division at all, but the elite troops of the independent column.

Zeng Zhongsheng, who had been waiting at the intersection for a long time, looked at He Zhengdao, who had not been seen for a while, and still looked young as before. It's a bit inconspicuous to be mixed in with a group of people.

If you don't know anyone, I'm afraid no one will believe that this young man standing in the middle of the team who also carries a rifle on his back will be He Zhengdao, a famous red general in the Eighth Route Army and the commander of the independent column.

'The right way, hard work all the way! I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to meet here! ’

Seeing that political commissar Zeng Zhongsheng took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with the young people in this group. The officers and soldiers who served as escorts to the guard somewhat muttered in their hearts. I also secretly guessed in my heart what the hell was the origin of this young man.

And He Zhengdao, who handed over the rifle to the guards around him at this moment, also smiled and said: "Political Commissar Zeng, Division Commander Xu, I'm sorry!" ”

'Words there! To be able to invite you over as a guest, it should be the glory of our 117th Division. Earlier, Lao Liu also sent a telegram, let me tell you. When you go back, you must go and sit with him! ’

As the division commander, Xu Xiangqian also stepped forward at the right time, shook hands with He Zhengdao and smiled to convey the invitation of Liu Bocheng, the commander of the 129th Division. It can also be seen from this invitation that He Zhengdao is currently in the party and the army, and his connections are still very good.

Under Zeng Zhongsheng's introduction, He Zhengdao shook hands with the members of the party committee of the 117th Division one by one. Such a situation also made many officers and soldiers who saw this scene know to some extent that He Zhengdao was only afraid of a big future.

Thinking of the name of one of them to He Zhengdao, some people gradually understood. The young man in front of him is none other than He Zhengdao, a famous red general in the Eighth Route Army, a legendary figure that many veterans of the Red Fourth Front Army have heard of for a long time.

No matter what these officers and soldiers thought in their hearts, Xu Xiangqian, who led He Zhengdao out of the headquarters, also said in a timely manner: "Lao Wang, emphasize the secrecy discipline with the troops, and today's events are not allowed to be spread outside."

In addition, the comrades of the independent column were assigned to the houses we had vacated earlier, so that they could have a good rest. Explain to the people of the cooking class to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the comrades of the independent column who came from afar. ”

Even if Xu Xiangqian thinks that He Zhengdao is here, there is still no need to worry too much about safety. But he also knew that He Zhengdao was going to return to Yan'an from here next. If you let the little devil know, there will be problems.

Leaking secrets, Xu Xiangqian also didn't want it to happen in his own troops!

Listening to Xu Xiangqian's arrangement, He Zhengdao didn't refuse too much. Call the commander of the guard battalion and ask him to contact the guard battalion that is following and follow him, and find a place to camp and rest near the headquarters of the 117th Division.

As for supplies, I will find the 117th Division to replenish it then. Of course, the supplementary grain will also be converted into money, and then it will be handed over to the 117th Division as food expenses. After all, the 117th Division was fighting behind enemy lines, and there was a relative shortage of supplies.

The banquet hall used to receive He Zhengdao is also a small farm courtyard where Zeng Zhongsheng lives. According to He Zhengdao's itinerary, he will stay in the 117th Division for two days, and he will also live here if he stays.

Perhaps it was because he sent someone to rescue Zeng Zhongsheng, so that this Red Army general, who died young, was also very kind to He Zhengdao. On the other hand, He Zhengdao did not want to refuse such kindness.

Looking at the living room, the dining room is full of steaming meals. He Zhengdao said a little embarrassedly: "Are the old chiefs too polite? I'm afraid I can't afford such a sumptuous hospitality! ”

'Just don't dislike it!' We didn't spend too much money on these dishes for you tonight. Except for the wild boar, which was bought from the villagers in the nearby villages. I sent people into the mountains and rivers to catch the rest of the meat and vegetables. It doesn't cost anything! ’

It is clear that such a sumptuous banquet does seem a bit extravagant to the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, who are accustomed to frugality. Just take a closer look, most of these things are also locally sourced, but there is no need to spend money to buy them.

Under the graciousness, He Zhengdao could only ask Xu Hao to bring two more bottles of wine. Still like in the first column, the 117th division provided food, and he provided wine. This is also a courtesy!

On the other hand, Xu Xiangqian and the others naturally didn't shirk anything. It's rare for He Zhengdao to come to their territory once, if there is no wine at the banquet, it is still a little unreasonable.

As for Zeng Zhongsheng, who has been to Yulin, he also knows that He Zhengdao has a good amount of wine. When he visited Yulin earlier, He Zhengdao was also thoughtful in his hospitality. Now that he has the opportunity to entertain He Zhengdao once, he will naturally have to entertain him well! (To be continued.) )
