As soon as he woke up in the morning, he received a good news from the New Fifth Division. He Zhengdao, as the commander, was also very happy to learn that the New Fifth Division had completely wiped out the 24th Infantry Brigade of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army.

Regarding the 12th Division of the Kwantung Army that invaded Suiyuan this time, He Zhengdao hoped to wipe out the 12th Division of the Kwantung Army when he was deploying a combat plan. Judging from the current situation, this possibility still exists. But the battle has not ended, and anything may happen.

Now the new Fifth Division has lived up to its expectations and finally solved the 24th Infantry Brigade, which also means cutting off an arm of the 12th Division. As a newly formed main division, it is rare to be able to fight like this.

Looking at the staff members who were as happy as the command room, He Zhengdao smiled and said, "Call back to the Fifth Division and let them start to rest after the war. In addition, let them report the damage to the war to the command center.

Next, I will give them priority to replenish a group of new recruits from the Suiyuan Military Sub-district. As for the infantry artillery and mountain artillery they seized before, they can all stay to form a direct artillery regiment of the division.

As for the tanks, armored vehicles, and seized cars, they were transported to the rear and handed over to the column logistics to register and store them in the warehouse. In addition, they were sent to the Third Cavalry Division, allowing them to suspend the attack and start to stabilize the base for the recovery of this battle.

As long as the puppet Mongolian cavalry does not provoke them, they do not need to be overly oppressed. At the same time, they order the new Fifth Division to draw troops to start building defensive positions in the Chahar Central Banner we have recovered to block the Japanese and puppet troops that may invade.”

After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Guo Junjie, who had not been sleeping all night, looked at the telegram and said happily: "Okay! It seems that the commander is still very happy for the victory of our battle!

The commander agreed to keep the infantry artillery and mountain artillery seized this time and form a direct artillery regiment of the division. In this way, we don’t have to stare at the Japanese in the future. Unfortunately, those tanks cannot stay!"

Listening to Guo Junjie's regret, the political commissar of the New Fifth Division smiled and said, "Teacher, your appetite is really great! You know, the commander of these tanks and armored vehicles had been thinking about taking them before the war started.

With these tanks and armored vehicles, perhaps our column can form a tank division. This will be a very important thing for our column and the entire Eighth Route Army. We can't afford to keep the tanks behind.

Let’s not talk about it, we can’t find tank soldiers who can master tanks. We are afraid we can’t afford the fuel from these tanks alone. These Japanese Iron Battalions are drinkable, so we can only find so much fuel from our Fifth Division!”

Guo Junjie, who made the political commissar joking, smiled and said, "Isn't this jealousy! With this thing, when we meet the Japanese cavalry in the future, we can directly crush it. However, this thing is indeed precious and our division can't afford it!"

When the New Fifth Division was happy for the commendation telegram sent by the column, he also received a telegram forwarded by He Zhengdao immediately in the center of Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Xi'an.

When we learned that the newly established New Fifth Division finally wiped out the 24th Japanese Brigade in Wuchuan, we were undoubtedly happy that the Central Committee and the Headquarters, who were paying attention to this war. After all, this is an elite infantry brigade of the Kwantung Army!

But when he received this good news, many leaders also said with concern: "The infantry brigade that destroyed the Japanese devils, and the remaining 12th Division, which was surrounded, will be wiped out at any time!"

Regarding such expectations, Mao Taizu said calmly: "Just wait! If you have the opportunity to wipe out this Kanto Military Division, I believe that kid will not miss such an opportunity. But now, you still need to wait for the opportunity!"

The Eighth Route Army headquarters is also looking forward to the column's good news again. If the Kwantung Military Division can be wiped out, it will be really exciting news for the Eighth Route Army and even the Chinese military and civilians in the War of Resistance.

What everyone didn't know at this moment was that after receiving a telegram from the Third Division, He Zhengdao rushed to Zhuozi with the guard battalion overnight. He arrived with him, Zhu Ding, the artillery brigade commander who came from Ulanqab.

When he learned that the Third Division had seized a batch of heavy artillery shells dropped by the Japanese army, those heavy artillery that he thought could only be used as a decoration for the time being, he might have used it. Zhu Ding was naturally a little unable to sit still, hoping to see these heavy artillery earlier.

Even though the artillery brigade is currently equipped with 105 caliber artillery. But in his opinion, it is still the 150 caliber artillery abandoned by the Japanese, which makes him coveted. After all, the larger the caliber artillery, the more powerful it is.

As an artilleryist, Zhu Ding received a telegram from He Zhengdao and handed over the work of commanding the artillery brigade to the deputy brigade commander. He hurriedly rushed to Zhuo Zi and He Zhengdao to join him.

The temporary rapid reactor who had surrounded Ulanqab was still waiting for the main force of the first division to rush to cooperate with the cooperation. For Ulanqab City, it may be the last time to launch a general attack on it.

As for the road leading to the outside of Ulanqab, it has been blocked by the Eighth Route Army at this moment. This also means that the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Ulanqab have become turtles in the jar, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to break through the city and slaughter it.

At this time, the reason why the general offensive has not been launched is more important to hope to arrange the front line properly. Only after the front line is arranged properly can the first division let go and recover Ulanqab.

In the woods where the Third Division hidden artillery, looking at the cannons with camouflage, He Zhengdao said happily: "Not bad! It seems that these Japanese devils did not disappoint me. This 96 150-caliber howitzer should not be equipped with the Japanese army for a long time.

This artillery has extremely high accuracy and can range up to twelve kilometers. Even the Japanese artillerymen like this new howitzer. Zhu Dean, it seems that after the war is over, your artillery brigade can finally be upgraded to an artillery division!"

‘Thank you, Commander! I, Old Zhu, have been looking forward to this day for a long time! This cannon tube is so satisfying to watch! These prodigal Japanese are willing to throw away such treasures. They are really a bunch of ignorant bastards!’

Listening to Zhu Ding's scolding, He Zhengdao said with a hilarious cry: "You guy, you can't move your eyes when you see the cannons. If it weren't for the Japanese who were promiscuous, would you be able to touch these cannons now?

In fact, this kind of artillery has high requirements for road conditions and must be pulled by cars. It can be said that if you want to use this heavy artillery, the logistics support work must be done well. With manpower alone, you are afraid that you can't pull it at all.

In the future, if these cannons are loaded into your brigade, you will know that if you want to play this cannon, you still need to work hard to figure it out. In short, the old saying is that if you want a cannon, I will find a way to seize it for you. But you must form combat power as soon as possible, do you understand?"

‘Yes! Please rest assured, the commander, I, Lao Zhu, will be with them every day in the future. Make sure you are better with them than with my wife!’

‘If your wife hears this, she will probably make you think about your mistakes behind closed doors!’

After listening to He Zhengdao's jokes, everyone burst into laughter. As the column gained a foothold in Yulin, some older division commanders and brigade commanders, He Zhengdao also asked political commissar Xiao Jinguang and political director Yao Shengjun to help introduce them to their partners.

According to the policies of the Eighth Route Army, most of these are division commanders and brigade commanders from the old Red Army and are qualified to find a partner to get married. The definition of Zhu in front of him is naturally also a partner that conforms to the policy.

Although the wife they found was not a good thing. But for these single brigade commanders who have been single for a long time, it is indeed a happy thing to get married and get married.

They all knew very well about the division commanders and brigade commanders who came along with He Zhengdao. If they had not followed the old commander, they would probably not have everything they have now. Therefore, they cherish and be grateful for everything they have at this moment.

In fact, to solve personal problems for these division commanders and brigade commanders, He Zhengdao hopes that he will get married next time and will not let these division commanders and brigade commanders who are older than him have any objections. Even if he is the commander, he is the youngest.

These big brothers were not married, so he, the young commander, got married, which was somewhat unreasonable. Even if He Zhengdao felt that everyone would not have any objections, they would feel a little disappointed!

Nowadays, the commanders and brigade commanders who accompanied He Zhengdao all have become families and wives in Yulin. Some of them even get married early and their wives are already pregnant. This is even more delightful for these senior commanders.

After all, everyone has the principle of "no filial piety, no descendant is the greatest". Only when they get married and have children, they will have thoughts in the future. At least in He Zhengdao's view, this will also help stabilize the morale of the troops.

‘Hehe! It’s okay! From the day of marriage, my wife knew that in our house, the cannons were ranked first, and she and I were both standing back. Only if I could touch these cannons, even if I was locked up for two days, I would be willing to do so!’

Cannon silly! This is the nickname given to Zhu Ding by many officers and soldiers of the column. Even in the central and Eighth Route Army headquarters, many leaders knew that Zhu Ding, the artillery brigade commander of the column, was a cannon silly who loved cannons as much as his life.

But everyone knows that Zhu Ding should be the artillery commander in the Eighth Route Army who knows artillery best. If any artillery is in his hands, Zhu Ding will not be able to sleep without experiencing it thoroughly. It is precisely this obsession that makes the officers and soldiers of the artillery brigade admire it very much.

The brigade commanders love artillery so much, how could the artillery below not cherish artillery?

It can be said that when the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army formed a direct artillery regiment, they often sent telegrams to He Zhengdao. They hoped that He Zhengdao would select some artillery commanders from the Artillery Brigade.

Because the commanders of each main division know that most of the artillery brigades are very proficient in artillery combat. As for the Japanese and domestic artillery, they also know very well.
