As for the Nationalist Government, there was a conscious desire to expand the formation of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and after the meeting, the Yan'an side received a telegram. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info For such a situation, Taizu and others naturally attach great importance to it.

Even if the current development focus of the Eighth Route Army is still on the north and northeast. But for the south, Taizu and others also attach great importance to it. However, the situation in the south is more severe than that in the north.

In addition to central China, the Eighth Route Army had already established a base area with the Dabie Mountains as its rear, and only the southern Anhui base area with the New Fourth Army as the main area. In addition to this, the Eighth Route Army did not make much breakthrough in the south.

Although the current troops of the little devils in the south are more involved in the Battle of Changsha. However, the resolute resistance of the Nationalist Government, and even the adoption of a scorched earth defense policy, made the attacking little devil troops equally uncomfortable.

In this case, the little devils in the south also did not dare to relax their vigilance against the Eighth Route Army. On the front line bordering the Eighth Route Army in southern Anhui and Henan, a large number of elite troops were also deployed for defense.

The Eighth Route Army, on the other hand, was also powerless to open up a new battlefield in the south. At present, it is very difficult to support the consumption of materials on the battlefield in North China, which is already very difficult in the eyes of many people.

Even if the Eighth Route Army recovered the whole territory of Shanxi and most of Henan, but these two provinces were also destitute before they were recovered. Trying to turn around the people's livelihood and economic situation in these two provinces is also a serious challenge for the Eighth Route Army.

Some counties that have formed democratic governments even need material assistance from the headquarters. Under such circumstances, even if the New 67th Army headed by Xiao Jinguang wanted to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Central China, it would have to consider the consequences.

In the end, Taizu's instructions to the southern troops were to develop small anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, focusing first on the development of guerrillas and armed engineering teams behind enemy lines. In some mountainous areas in the south occupied by the little devils, guerrilla units were formed to fight the little devils and propagate the idea of the War of Resistance.

As for the main force like the new 67 th Army, at present it is still mainly engaged in training and preparing for war. When the time comes, there will be another fight with the little devils in the south. The focus of work in the south has also shifted to the resettlement of people's livelihoods.

Of course, another deep meaning of Taizu's instructions is that he doesn't want to turn his face with Lao Jiang too early. Even the places where the Eighth Route Army fought guerrillas were already occupied by little devils. But in the eyes of the Nationalist Government, it was their territory.

In this case, Taizu felt that the implementation of the military engineering team behind the enemy line in the north, which had a very good effect, was used in the construction of the guerrilla force behind the enemy line in the south, and he believed that the effect would not be bad. As long as they are well developed, these martial arts teams will also be their new force in the future.

Go to the masses to do work and propaganda, fight the little devils in front of the people, and tell the people near the base areas in this real way that their Eighth Route Army is really fighting the little devils.

In this way, gain the support of the people. Even if the people of one village approve, it would be a victory for the Eighth Route Army. One more village with the support of the people, and the Eighth Route Army will have one more fortress village in the south.

It seems that Lao Jiang still has a bit of vision, and he also knows that he can't intervene in the north at the moment! ’

Mr. Zhu, who was holding this telegram, was undoubtedly very satisfied with the current development of the Eighth Route Army. In the early days in the north, there were also many anti-Japanese armed forces supported by the Nationalist government, but most of these armed forces disappeared.

In the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army, it was naturally not an easy task for these anti-Japanese forces of the Nationalist Government to survive. Even if there is a big friction, the two sides will not do it, but in private, this kind of land grabbing is not less.

'Someone should not be allowed to snore on the side of the couch', this is a well-known truth. Most importantly, with the Eighth Route Army's major victory in the north, as long as the common people who are not stupid know whose ranks they should join.

Without the support of the people and the addition of new soldiers, how can we survive and develop behind enemy lines?

Listening to Mr. Zhu's ridicule, Taizu smiled and said: "He is the dignified chairman of the committee, how can he not have this vision?" It's just that if they want to change this situation, the first thing they need to do is to solve the problem of serious internal corruption.

It is a pity that the economy of the Nationalist government has been struggling to support the economy, and most of the finances of the old Chiang government come from his relatives and supporters. But if he wants to strictly investigate the problem of corruption, none of his relatives and supporters can escape.

Unless he really doesn't want to be the chairman of the committee, he will never be able to improve this situation. If those people can really devote themselves to the country and their party, perhaps they still have a glimmer of vitality. It's a pity, I'm afraid it's very difficult! ”

'Yes! When the country is facing life and death, their internal officials and generals can't forget to make the country rich. It's really hateful to think about it, but Lao Jiang can't move them, and this chairman is also very depressed! ’

After the two laughed, Mr. Zhu looked at the map of North China and suddenly said, "Chairman, do you think that in the current situation, can we start the battle to recover North China in advance?" ”

With the recovery of Zhangjiakou by the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao's department and the Eastern Hebei Army Division successfully joined forces. In Chengde, there was only one capital and a small border town left, and the rest of the territory was recovered by the Eighth Route Army.

It can be said that now the situation in which the Eighth Route Army encircles North China on three sides has been formed. In view of such a situation, Mr. Zhu, as the commander-in-chief, still wanted to start the campaign to recover North China in advance and expand the influence of the Eighth Route Army again.

In the face of Mr. Zhu's inquiry, Taizu said very calmly: "Mr. Zhu, the current situation is beneficial to us. But if you want to conquer Beiping, I'm afraid it's not so easy. At least on the other side of Tianyin, there is nothing we can do for the time being.

Just as the pre-war analysis of the righteous path, without an air force that can compete with the little devils, we will not be able to gain air supremacy. On the contrary, with the help of the strategic place of Tianyan, the little devil can use the air force and navy to continuously project troops.

At the moment, we have another problem, that is, whether we can manage it well after the defeat of Beiping. After the war, we were in short supply of management personnel and disaster relief materials. You can't just knock it down and leave it alone, right? ”

Compared with Mr. Zhu, who pays more attention to the affairs of the troops, Taizu has to consider and think about the problem from the overall situation. Perhaps in the eyes of many army generals, they now have the strength to compete with the Japanese army in North China.

However, in Taizu's view, how to maintain stability in the liberated areas is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently. At present, most of Shanxi and Henan are newly restored, and they have already felt a certain degree of difficulty in managing them.

If there is one more North China, then they will undoubtedly be under greater internal and external pressure. The idea of recovering Beiping, Taizu didn't have it. But he knew that the fruit of this victory was too big for the Eighth Route Army to swallow!

Listening to what Taizu said, Mr. Zhu thought about it and felt that it made sense, but his tone was still a little regretful: "Alas, in the final analysis, our foundation is still too thin. In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while! ”

'Boss, we should be content. I think that at the beginning, we moved from the southern Jiangxi Soviet region to this war, and we were poor and white at that time. At present, you have nearly a million troops under the command of the commander-in-chief, and you are not satisfied!

At that time, we were in southern Gansu, and we only had a few bases in Jiangxi Province. But now? We have several liberated areas in several provinces, and both the areas under management and the population are much better than when we were at our best.

Be content! Sometimes I also feel that the kid on the right path is calmer than any of us in this matter. is not greedy, and takes every step in a down-to-earth manner, which may be the reason why he has today's results! ’

When it comes to the current development of the liberated areas, the Yulin border area is also recognized as the strongest. At present, Yulin undoubtedly provides most of the financial revenue of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, He Zhengdao's combat capture was also the largest among the main forces.

Most of the weapons and ammunition needed for training of the new troops that have been expanded in the liberated areas are provided by He Zhengdao. In this way, it also solves a big problem for the headquarters and saves the headquarters a lot of worry.

Others say that Taizu favors He Zhengdao, but in Taizu's opinion, who doesn't like this kind of general who can do things and make people feel at ease? Even if Mr. Zhu is not very fond of He Zhengdao now?

While the two were discussing the next development plan, He Zhengdao also received a telegram from the defenders of Pingquan. The 8th Division of the Kwantung Army, which had arrived from Jinzhou, had already arrived in Pingquan.

The reconnaissance troops of the two sides also engaged in a small-scale battle, and of course it was the Eighth Route Army that won. After all, it was the special division commanded by Li Xiangdong who was responsible for the reconnaissance and patrol mission in Pingquan!

After receiving the telegram from Li Xiangdong, He Zhengdao looked at the map and said, "Chief of Staff, how many troops have we gathered at the moment over there?" ”

There was a reconnaissance regiment of Li Xiangdong, two main regiments of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, and a cavalry regiment of the Second Cavalry Division. In addition, a main regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division, which is not far from Pingquan, is believed to be able to arrive in these two days. ’

In this way, there should be no problem with the Eighth Division blocking the little devils. To send electricity to the troops on the Pingquan side, Li Xiangdong served as the front-line commander, responsible for the defense and counterattack of the Pingquan side.

In addition, the 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment, which was fighting with the 2nd Infantry Division, was transferred to Pingquan. With the cooperation of the heavy artillery regiment, I believe that the Eighth Division will not want to bargain. Tell Li Xiangdong that this battle will be fought for me, and let the participating troops rotate more.

This Eighth Division is also the elite division of the Kwantung Army, and its combat effectiveness is still very strong. In the past, we used to fight sneak attacks and ambushes, but now it's time to really compete with them to see who is stronger! ’

What about Chengde? ’

The transfer of the heavy artillery regiment to the Pingquan side, and the 2nd Infantry Division, which was responsible for attacking Chengde, undoubtedly appeared to be a little thin in terms of siege weapons. But in He Zhengdao's opinion, I'm afraid that the little devil also doesn't want to stick to Chengde!

If the little devils really plan to defend Chengde, then why do they have to hold the small city of Luanping in their hands? In the final analysis, the little devil still wants to prepare a way back for himself. In this way, how determined are they to hold on? (To be continued.) )
