Just like leaving the 117th Division in the previous period, He Zhengdao, who had a brief stay at the 129th Division for two days, met with the leaders of the 129th Division and agreed to draw backbones from the Yulin Arsenal to form the Huangya Arsenal Branch.

Even at this moment, the retaliatory clearance operations carried out by the Japanese army were continuing. The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was naturally not willing to be outdone, and the two troops that were originally confronted also launched a series of battles here.

As a guest, He Zhengdao also felt that he could almost go on the road. After the attacking Sakura Special Attack Team was solved, the conventional troops currently dispatched by the Japanese army, he believed that the 129th Division could handle it properly.

If you continue to stay here, it will undoubtedly cause the leaders of the 129th Division to be distracted and take care of themselves. Taking this opportunity to leave will save a lot of trouble. Liu Bocheng and others did not try to keep them too much.

In the words of Political Commissar Deng, "Teacher, we should not keep it. At this time, our groom should be homecoming. Let him go back early and have the opportunity to reunite with his wife!"

In a word, He Zhengdao was really speechless. In fact, after entering Shanxi from Shexian County, He Zhengdao would still go to some places controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and finally enter the core control area of ​​the Eighth Route Army.

He bid farewell to the 129th Division's leader Yiyi and made an appointment to meet again in Yan'an. He Zhengdao took the sabre of re-salting personnel on the way back to Yan'an, and there was also a guard battalion following him.

Although the territory of Licheng was in a state of war, there was no problem for He Zhengdao and his party. Even the Japanese who bumped into He Zhengdao and his party could only admit that they were unlucky and were wiped out.

On the other hand, many Eighth Route Army guerrillas along the way have gained a lot of benefits. They don’t need to kill the enemy, they just need to clean the battlefield. The weapons and ammunition retained in the battle will naturally be handed over to nearby guerrillas to deal with.

After entering Changzhi area, He Zhengdao also summoned the third reconnaissance brigade regiment that came to Changzhi to fight behind enemy lines. This regiment is still active in Changzhi area, but the management rights are currently left to the 129th Division to be responsible.

This decision was made at the beginning, considering that the situation in Changzhi area was relatively complicated. There was an independent column and a reconnaissance regiment here, neither the Japanese nor the Jinsui Army dared to act rashly.

Even if Liu Bocheng wants to recruit this reconnaissance team, he also knows that He Zhengdao will not let anyone go easily. After all, this reconnaissance team is also the backbone of future expansion for the independent column!

Even when summoning the reconnaissance regiment commander, He Zhengdao said in time: "From now on, your third regiment must be prepared to evacuate Changzhi at any time. Those developed guerrillas will be handed over to the 129th Division for management at that time.

For the specific situation, I will have to wait until I return to Yan'an to ask the Central Committee and the Headquarters before deciding. But after listening to your report, I think if your regiment retreats to Yulin, it can form an independent combat brigade.

Of course, if you still want to return to the reconnaissance brigade, you can also raise it. In short, your four reconnaissance regiments will all face expansion in the future. The first and second divisions must stay in Xinyang, and the reconnaissance brigade must be expanded in a planned manner.

At least I hope that after the expansion of the four regiments of the reconnaissance brigade, it can at least meet the shortage of two main divisions. In this way, the next step is to attack the Japanese army in Shanxi or to march into the Northeast in the future, so that the troops can deal with some major wars."

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, the third regiment commander also said at the right time: "Commander, if our brigade wants to expand next, I plan to bring the troops that have developed now with me. Those soldiers are all very good!

If we attack Taiyuan, most of the soldiers our regiment's enlistment are familiar with the situation around Shanxi. If they know that we are going to start regaining Taiyuan, I'm afraid they will be very happy."

In fact, after the Third Reconnaissance Regiment entered Changzhi, He Zhengdao had always asked them to pay attention to the situation of the Japanese army in Taiyuan. In addition, some reconnaissance personnel were arranged in a targeted manner to enter Taiyuan City for intelligence reconnaissance.

However, because the Jinsui Army was still in strength, He Zhengdao felt that the time to recover Taiyuan was not yet ripe. Now, the Jinsui Army has almost been forgotten by Chiang Kai-shek, and the troops have either been reorganized or disbanded on the spot.

It can be said that the Jinsui Army is almost in name only. The Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly in Shanxi and has received support from many people in Shanxi. Even if the Eighth Route Army recovers the entire territory of Shanxi, I believe the people are happy to see it.

Once the Eighth Route Army can recover Shanxi and Henan, the Eighth Route Army will truly rise in the north. Having a place of three provinces may increase the burden on the Eighth Route Army. But it is also extremely important for the development of the Eighth Route Army.

In some cases, He Zhengdao is still willing to talk to these direct subordinates. However, the battle to recover Taiyuan depends on the decision of the central government and headquarters. After all, there are actually not many Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi today.

Once the battle to recover Taiyuan City is launched, I believe that the Japanese army in North China will come out in full swing. Such a battle can also be said to have a single move to the whole body. It is naturally not possible without careful deployment.

After leaving Changzhi, He Zhengdao did not escort the reconnaissance team, nor did he go to Linfen, controlled by the Jinsui Army, and directly entered the Luliang area from Changzhi. This place was already the core controlled area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese did not dare to attack easily.

To be precise, almost all the cities occupied by the Japanese in Shanxi are stationed around Taiyuan City. The other northwest cities have become the core control areas of the Eighth Route Army.

The two main divisions that were originally stationed in these areas have now been secretly mobilized by the headquarters to the Henan border. After the two newly expanded divisions have also occasionally visited the Japanese to temper their troops after they moved to defend.

But even the newly expanded main division is still extremely difficult for the Japanese devils stationed in Shanxi. After all, the Eighth Route Army's troops stationed in Shanxi are now much more powerful than those of Japanese devils.

If it weren't for the good command level of Itagaki Seishiro, I'm afraid Shanxi wouldn't be as calm as it is now. Itagaki Seishiro also knew that he could not provoke the Eighth Route Army too much at the moment, and it would be enough to maintain this confrontation.

Once the encirclement and suppression fails, it will also affect their overall defense in Shanxi. At this time, if there are major casualties in the troops, the North China Front Army will not be able to add any new recruits to him for the time being.

There are areas where Japanese troops are stationed in North China, and basically there are more troops everywhere. But the problem is that the Central China Front Army, which is progressing smoothly, also requires the military headquarters to send more troops to them.

Considering that the Central China Front Army is opening up new occupied areas, the Japanese Army will also give priority to the Central China Front Army in terms of recruits. It is this consideration that makes the North China Front Army really difficult for life.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which became more and more braver in the battle behind enemy lines, built more and more guerrilla areas in the base area, gained the support of the people in the occupied areas, the expansion of the troops of each unit was very exciting. This contrast was what worries the Japanese army in North China the most.

Even if the Army Department knows this situation, it will be impossible to mobilize heavy troops to enter North China for a while. What they can do is to order the North China Front Army to maintain the existing occupied areas and prevent the Eighth Route Army from expanding wantonly.

Although the idea was good, the Eighth Route Army's troops were fighting more and more, while the North China Front Army's troops were fighting less and less. Gradually, some counties with no resources in the marginal areas could only endure the pain and give up.

These abandoned counties naturally became the bases of the Eighth Route Army. In addition to establishing a democratic government, they also resettled people who escaped from the occupied areas in these counties, which greatly reduced the number of people that the Japanese could exploit.

He Zhengdao naturally paid attention to the overall situation of North China. In his opinion, if he wanted to recover the entire Shanxi area, or advance into the Northeast in the future, it would probably not be enough to rely on the old troops left behind in Yulin.

Fortunately, during this period, He Zhengdao also paid attention to the expansion of the troops in the Sui Meng Military Region. Whether it is the cavalry unit or the armored troops being organized and trained, the progress is very good.

If you enter the Northeast to fight, the cavalry can still play a significant role. If He Zhengdao enters the Northeast in the future, the most likely route is the Mengbian area with relatively sparse population.

From Luliang to Yanchuan, He Zhengdao, who had a big circle, also officially entered the territory of Yan'an. After receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao, he also felt relieved when he was preparing for the Military and Political Conference in the Central Committee.

But the one who expects to see He Zhengdao return more than *** is naturally Chen Siya who is preparing to be the bride. She was also happy when she heard the correspondent sent by *** and told him that He Zhengdao would be able to return to Yan'an in at most two days.

During this period, because He Zhengdao has not returned yet, Chen Siya was also responsible for the decoration of the cave assigned by the central government. Even if such a new house looks a bit simple, Chen Siya was also very happy.

After two days, Chen Siya, who could not control her longing, stood at the intersection entering the central station early in the morning and waited. The guards and soldiers who were in charge of the garrison guarding were also amused and helped her wait.

Until the Sabre Special Forces escorting He Zhengdao appeared at the intersection of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, soldiers from the guard division immediately stepped forward and said, "Reporter Chen, Commander He and his party have arrived at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to go and greet them!"

‘He arrived?’

‘Yes! We just received the news from the foot of the mountain, and the guards escorting him had arrived in advance.’

When Chen Siya heard this, she naturally hurried to the intersection of the mountain. She still acted as a warning saber. Seeing Chen Siya trotting down from the mountain, she also knew who the bride-to-be was here to pick up.

Someone also came to the back and reported: "Commander, sister-in-law is here to pick you up!"

Even though the two have not yet married, Chen Siya is undoubtedly He Zhengdao's wife in the hearts of the Sabre Special Forces. He Zhengdao, who heard this report, was still very moved when he saw Chen Siya running down from the mountain to greet him.

Isn’t it a blessing to travel through this time and space to find such a woman who truly loves me? (To be continued.)
