Just as He Zhengdao said when he trained the saber special combat team, this special combat team that was trained at a great cost seemed to be a bit of a waste of resources. But in fact, the role it can play is not comparable to that of ordinary troops.

If Mao Taizu and others did not understand the definition of 'special warfare' before, then this mission in Xi'an, where He Zhengdao led the reconnaissance brigade and the saber special combat team, made them really know the power of this unit.

Originally, in the eyes of many people, the war in Xi'an was about to break out. With a telegram, it seems to have quickly vanished. Gu Zhutong, who had just taken office, was soon recalled to Nanjing, and he was afraid that the ending would not be too good.

Even Director Zheng in the Xi'an Representative Office was also recalled by Lao Jiang. The reason is very simple, at least before the Spring Festival, it is difficult for Lao Jiang to do anything about Xi'an, unless he really ignores the people who protest every day and there are students.

It's just that when Director Zheng returned to Nanjing, he learned that this matter was all done by He Zhengdao, and when he heard this name, Lao Jiang smashed a beloved teacup again and scolded: "Niang Xipi, it's this damn independent column again." ”

From these words, it is enough to see how angry he is at He Zhengdao. Dai Li, who was soon called to the presidential office, looked at the angry old Jiang, and seemed to know that he was coming, but he was afraid that he would inevitably be scolded.

'Yu Nong, why hasn't the matter I told you about the past been completed yet? ’

A cold sentence made Dai Li's words a little confused: "What the principal said about Xi'an's rebellion?" ”

You're embarrassed to say that! Who gave you the order to dare to let the people of the Renaissance Society cooperate with the little devils. Do you know that now this handle falls into the hands of ****, which will make us very passive. Do you understand? ’

'Please, headmaster!' This matter is the fault of Yu Nong, and the humble post will definitely deal with this matter properly and ensure that the **** will not be caught again. In this matter. We did underestimate the reconnaissance capabilities of the Red Army somewhat. ’

Looking at Dai Li, who honestly admits his mistakes, Lao Jiang also knows very well that in this matter, Dai Li, although he is at fault, he is also very careful. After all, no one thought of it. The other side dared to raid the representative office of the Central Army.

It's not even too late to destroy that information. It can only be said that they all underestimated the capabilities of the Red Army in this regard. Thinking about the power envelope again, Lao Jiang was even more angry.

said directly: "Yunong, I came to you today to ask about that independent column." This unit, because it is stationed in Yulin, we seem to know too little about it. Have you made any progress on this? ”

One listened to it about the separate column. Dai Li's heart tightened and said with some caution: "Report to the chairman of the committee, when the 86th Division was stationed in the Yulin area, our intelligence department did not set up a point there.

Later, the independent column was stationed, and we also sent a lot of intelligence officers. It's just that at present, they have implemented a very strict military-civilian joint defense system. As long as they are strangers, they will be interrogated by their government and military.

At the moment we are there, and we have increased our infiltration. Although progress has been made, there is not much valuable information yet. Based on what we have so far. The training of this **** unit is very strong.

And compared to the rest of the Red Army, they all lived with the common people. It's easier for us to spy on intelligence. Most of the main forces of this **** have special military camps, and it is forbidden for idle people to approach.

In the recruitment campaign they launched earlier, we have arranged for a lot of intelligence officers to get in. It's just that the time is too short, and I haven't received too much useful information yet. However, our Operations Department will increase its intelligence gathering efforts! ”

'That's before. Didn't I tell you that I had to deal with this person? I have a hunch that this person will bring fatal harm to the cause of our party and country. Now it seems that my hunch was not wrong.

Whatever you think, you'll have to keep an eye on it. Once there is a chance. Gotta kill him. This time, our plan in Xi'an failed, and a large part of it was because of this person. Do you know? ’

Rest assured, the principal will be able to assign competent personnel to take care of this matter full-time! ’

When Lao Jiang continued to strictly order Dai Li to get rid of He Zhengdao, He Zhengdao, who returned to the headquarters, was demoted. The reason is that in this incident, the reconnaissance trip killed a lot of people.

The Nanjing government, for its part, also accused He Zhengdao of using too insulting words and actions when dealing with the representatives of the Central Army. In short, internal doubts and external protests made Mao Taizu have to make a decision to punish.

For such a punishment, many people who have a good relationship with He Zhengdao immediately raised doubts. Even Xiao Jinguang, the political commissar of the independent column, went to the headquarters in person to request that the punishment decision be revoked.

Only He Zhengdao looked like he was fine, and said with a smile: "Political commissar, the matter over there in the column, I bother you to worry about it more." I'm in the limelight this time, so I should keep a low profile.

Actually, this is the punishment that I myself and Commissioner Mao have requested. The reason is simple, I was promoted so quickly that many people were a little red-eyed. There's no way, since I'm so jealous, I can only be honest.

After the year, I will go to Kang University to study for a period of time, which can be regarded as learning some culture. On the side of the column, the headquarters will not send people over for the time being, so you tell those guys to be honest. At this time, don't come out with any demon moths.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that some people will say that I am forming a gang in the independent column. In this matter, I think the commissar should know. There are some things, even if they are Mao, they also need to take into account the overall situation! ”

'But there's a mess on the side of the column, how can I be busy alone? ’

Hearing He Zhengdao's explanation, Xiao Jinguang's expression was also a little unpleasant. In fact, as the government of the Yulin Border District is doing more and more prosperous business, it can submit a large amount of taxes to the headquarters every month, and some people are red-eyed.

And the current strength of the independent column is undoubtedly the strongest in the Red Army. In this case, for many veteran Red Armymen, they felt a little uncomfortable, and it was normal for them to complain.

It's just that for He Zhengdao, he can actually take a little rest, and he is quite happy. It can even be said that through his demotion this time, He Zhengdao can also see clearly that those people are not with him all the way.

These people, when they have the opportunity in the future, He Zhengdao will also let them know that jealousy will also kill people. In this matter, Mao Taizu was undoubtedly very angry.

But the problem is that a party cannot be transferred by the will of one person. Therefore, after He Zhengdao took the initiative to talk to Mao Taizu once, Mao Taizu agreed to He Zhengdao's demotion without reason.

However, on the matter of sending someone to take over as commander of the independent column, the central authorities also launched a series of discussions. As a result, in the end, Mr. Zhu said conclusively: "In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the independent column, I will concurrently serve as the commander of the column." ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, Mr. Zhu made this decision, and others didn't have much to say. But in fact, Xiao Jinguang is still in charge of the affairs of the independent column, and others can't interfere either.

After this information was detected by the latent Central Army intelligence officers, Lao Jiang also felt very surprised. After all, he knew He Zhengdao very well, that was Mao Taizu's henchman, and he was also demoted.

In a sense, punishing He Zhengdao is also a blow to Mao Taizu. This made Lao Chiang feel that maybe he should give the Red Army a little more time. Maybe after a long time, there will be some changes that make him happy.

It is difficult for the independent column to learn that He Zhengdao was demoted, and several brigade commanders of the main division undoubtedly looked very angry. But with the return of Xiao Jinguang, these division commanders also quickly returned to their respective command posts after the meeting.

For He Zhengdao, this kind of thing can't hit him. At least on the matter of the negotiation between the two parties, the negotiators who insisted on He Zhengdao insulting Director Zheng did not have much to say.

Even Zhou Enlai was also very angry and said: "Don't think I don't know, what your idea is." If you continue to hold on to this matter, then I will invite the reporters of the major newspapers to make the truth of the 22 incident public.

When the time comes, I will see how the soldiers and civilians of the National War of Resistance will look at you. That Director Zheng, in my opinion, is completely to blame. If it weren't for Xiao He's appearance, he wouldn't even want to return to Nanjing alive, and the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army would tear him apart.

If you continue to use such reasons to delay the negotiations on cooperation, then I will regard you as not sincere in carrying out the negotiations. Then we don't need to talk about it, our Red Army organized the North War of Resistance on its own! ”

In Zhou Enlai's view, what happened in Xi'an, he felt that He Zhengdao did the right thing. Although his approach may have been a bit radical. But the effect is undoubtedly very significant. At least the veterans of the Northeast Army are grateful to He Zhengdao for what he did to them.

Under such circumstances, the Kuomintang still wants to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, how can he not be angry?

It's just a pity that even the representatives of the Central Army did not continue to mention the matter of He Zhengdao that must be severely punished. When it came to the number and establishment of troops, the opinions of the two parties were too different, and in the end, the joint talks ended to no avail.

Mao Taizu, who returned to the headquarters, was also very angry when he learned that the Central Army only gave the Red Army, which had 300,000 troops, the number of the Sixth Division and the Ten Brigades. This number, not half of the people can be arranged!

He also said directly: "Enlai, you don't need to talk to them, it's a waste of time." Look! I think there will be big changes this year. When the time comes, I want them to beg us to talk! ”

I have to say that Mao Taizu does have a very unique vision in judging the current situation. If He Zhengdao heard this, he would definitely give Mao Taizu a thumbs up. Because, big things are going to happen this year!

This major event will make China, which has been ravaged by war, truly enter the war-torn years. Even, this time is less than a year to two years. Even, starting from this year, there will be countless heroic sons and daughters who will shed their blood for it! (To be continued.) )
