The plan for Shanxi's operations is currently only known to a very small number of people from the central and headquarters. Before the battle begins, the more confidential such military operations are, the better. Only in this way can we catch the Japanese army in Shanxi off guard.

From the idea of ​​this battle to the recognition of the central and headquarters, He Zhengdao has all been controlled within a very small range. The SuiCha-Hebei Military Region, which has been mobilized for combat readiness, has also not known about this task.

However, in He Zhengdao's view, if all the troops are drawn from the SuiCha-Hebei Military Region, the number of troops required and the distance between the mobilization is somewhat less than worth the cost, and it is undoubtedly important to find local troops to cooperate.

Previously, with several main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, 6 were sent from the Shanxi battlefield to other places. Now, the troops in charge of Shanxi are only the 12o Division commanded by Chief He and the 118th Division commanded by Luo Binghui.

Now these two main divisions are the Eighth Route Army units that are on the front line of Shanxi and often fight against the Japanese army. The two newly expanded main divisions of the headquarters are still in training and running-in.

Therefore, in He Zhengdao's combat plan, the two newly formed Eighth Route Army main divisions are more responsible for stabilizing the rear and acting as the main reserve force. The 12o Division and the 118th Division should be the 12o Division and the 118th Division.

Of course, before the Shanxi Recovery Campaign was launched, He Zhengdao would also draw a main division from the Sui Cha-Hebei Military Region. To cooperate with the independent reconnaissance regiment in Changzhi and the reconnaissance brigade that may come here, the troops should be enough.

When talking about the combat plan, looking at the guard who had bought the meat and started to skewers, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Boss He, let's go to the study! Regarding this combat plan, it is still necessary to keep it a secret at this stage.

I asked Xiaoya to steam some steamed buns and then put a bowl of noodles, and we will talk about it while eating. The most important thing in this battle is how to fight the Japanese. As long as this idea is successful, Shanxi can be liberated at the minimum cost."

‘Okay, this is your territory, we all listen to you!’

As a military commander, President He naturally knew the importance of confidentiality. Although he was discussing outside the cave, if anyone was watching the guards of He Zhengdao, he would not be heard. However, it is undoubtedly safer to go into the room to discuss.

The most important thing is that the weather is relatively cool now, and staying outside for a long time will still make people feel uncomfortable. Now, the venue for the meeting is changed to the study, so it will be more comfortable to eat and talk while talking.

After entering He Zhengdao's study room, looking at the bookshelf filled with books, Mr. He also sighed: "Your study room is called a real study room! Where did you search for the books on this shelf?"

As an old revolutionary, Mr. He was poor in his early years and only went to a private school for five years. Later, he dropped out of school and went home to follow his father as a tailor. Later, when Cai E launched the "Anti-Yuan and Protecting the Country" movement, he finally organized a team to fight against Yuan and served as the commander-in-chief of the civilian army.

Mr. He, who has read some books, is very clear about the role of books on everyone. Although there are printing factories in the central government now, books are still rare and rare things for ordinary poor people!

Facing President He’s inquiry, He Zhengdao smiled and said, “I have read some of the books on this, but I haven’t read them all. Some of these books were given by the Chairman and the others, and some of them were collected by my father-in-law.

He and my mother-in-law both studied. In the early years, their family was in Peking and was considered a family of scholars. Later, the Japanese went to Peking. He did not bring too many external objects, but instead brought a lot of books hidden in his family to Yan'an.

Knowing that I like reading and I’m not picky about food, I gave me such a bunch of books. I usually have nothing to do, so I can read more books and learn more. However, I have been moving here for a while, and I don’t have much time to study specifically.”

Listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, Mr. He didn't ask much. Not long after, He Zhengdao took off a military map from the bookshelf. Looking at these military maps, Luo Binghui next to him also felt a little envious.

He said, "You kid, can you! You have collected so many maps of the Japanese? I see the military maps of the entire North China, you should have them here? In terms of mapping, the military maps made by the Japanese are indeed more detailed than ours!"

‘Not necessarily! But at this stage, we do not have special surveying and mapping personnel. The Japanese sent a large number of surveying and mapping personnel in their early years to collect map information from all over the country under various names.

From this point, we can also see that the Japanese have been planning our plans for a long time. Most of the maps I collected here were seized by front-line troops. Not only the military maps in North China and Central China, but also some in the northeast.

If we have a map, it will be easier for us to do some combat situation deductions. When formulating a combat plan, we will not be completely talking about it on paper. However, this military map in Shanxi was drawn by my reconnaissance force.’

Looking at this military map involving the entire Shanxi area, Mr. He also said a little enviously: "If you have capable people under your command, you will indeed solve a lot of trouble! Your reconnaissance unit is really enviable!"

In this case, Luo Binghui also recognized it. Even if their divisions formed a reconnaissance team directly under the division headquarters, they knew that they could not compare with the reconnaissance brigades under He Zhengdao.

Looking at the eyes of the two of them with some enviousness and jealousy, He Zhengdao could only say: "After liberating Shanxi, I will ask the central government and headquarters to conduct an internal reconnaissance force training. At that time, you will draw some educated officers and soldiers to participate.

If I have time, I will teach them a few classes in person. If I can’t make time, I will also draw officers with rich combat experience from the reconnaissance brigade to teach them, and try to teach them some reconnaissance knowledge."

‘This idea is good! But then, give us more training places to two divisions! Now, the officers from your Yulin Teaching Corps are popular in any unit.

The previous period, our division sent the battalion commander to teach the troops to train. After returning, he brought many new combat ideas and methods to the troops. He also made great progress in training the troops. But there are too few such talents!’

The training of the Eighth Route Army’s teaching troops is also a training camp that many officers in the Eighth Route Army battalion dream of increasing. As long as they are qualified to join the teaching corps, these officers participating in the training will be promoted to the regiment battalion commander in the future.

Many people even now say that the Anti-Japanese University in Yan'an is a school for being promoted to the division brigade commander. The teaching force in Yulin is a military academy for being promoted to the regiment battalion commander. No matter which school you go to, it is a symbol of recognition by the party and the army!

However, compared with the Anti-Japanese University, we teach more political theory. When we go to the Yulin Guidance Corps to train, we can learn the latest combat methods, and also get exposed to more advanced weapons and combat theory knowledge.

In short, no matter which school, the officers who have the opportunity to participate will not refuse. Unfortunately, both the Anti-Japanese University and the Teaching Corps have strict requirements on training quotas and selection.

After chatting about these gossips, He Zhengdao spread out the military map of the entire Shanxi drawn by the reconnaissance brigade, and followed the two main division commanders who needed to cooperate in combat next, and talked about their ideas about Shanxi's combat.

Pointing to several areas currently controlled by the Japanese army, He Zhengdao restrained his expression and said, "General He and Commander Luo, based on the information we have detected so far, the Japanese army has deployed about two divisions in these places in Shanxi.

Among them, the strongest combat power should be the Itagaki Division stationed near Taiyuan, which is also the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army. This is a type A division of the Japanese army, and the combat power of the troops is still very strong.

In addition, the 116th Japanese Division, which currently controls Changzhi and Jinzhong, still has the troops organization. But in fact, the elite of this division has suffered serious losses in several battles with us.

Most of the troops added later were soldiers recruited from other Japanese troops. Although their combat effectiveness was good, compared to the real Japanese, the combat effectiveness of those two Japanese was only average."

Listening to the situation He Zhengdao said, President He was also surprised: "I really don't know if I don't listen to it. I was shocked when I heard it. I'm afraid you should have had the plan for Shanxi long ago, right?"

‘Hehe! When I robbed the Japanese things the last time, I planned how to take down Shanxi. The boss should know that as long as we take down Shanxi, we will fight against the Japanese army in North China at that time, we will really be able to advance and defend!’

Judging from the base area, with Shanxi, a buffer zone, Shaanxi only needs to pay attention to the movement of the two horses in the future. There is an independent column in the north, and when he takes Henan in the south, he realizes that Shaanxi is the rear.

If there is another Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army will truly have the foundation and capital for its rise. This will still play a very important role in He Zhengdao's view of the Eighth Route Army coming to the forefront in the future.

As the two main division commanders responsible for Shanxi's defense, they also know that if they want to leave Shanxi, they also need to pacify Shanxi before they have the opportunity to go out to fight. As soldiers, why don't they want to expand their territory and recover lost land!

‘Then how do you plan to fight this battle? Just based on our three main divisions, if you want to fight against Itagaki, you may not be worth the loss. In the past year, the Japanese have built a lot of stable fortifications near Taiyuan!’

In Mr. He's view, it is natural for the Eighth Route Army to liberate the entire Shanxi region. But the same is true, how to recover it at the lowest cost is the issue they need to consider.

Over the past year, the two main divisions and the Shanxi Expeditionary Army have also fought against each other several times, and it is clear that the Shanxi Expeditionary Army is not easy to mess with. If it really hits a record of killing one thousand enemies and losing 800, it would be a bit of a loss in Mr. He's opinion! (To be continued.) 8
