Compared with the inspecting troops of some major troops in later generations, most of them took helicopters to travel back and forth. Nowadays, if you want to conduct a border inspection and condolences, you can only walk on two legs besides riding a horse.

As Chen Quan and others expected, He Zhengdao, who arrived at the border defense company on New Year's Eve, only accompanied them for the New Year in the company. On the first night of the New Year, he quietly left the border defense company on the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

As for where He Zhengdao went next, Chen Quan and others didn't know and dared not ask. When it comes to He Zhengdao's whereabouts, they were officers who naturally knew that they had to abide by confidentiality discipline. Some things, the more they knew, the more dangerous they were.

Others enjoy the relaxed and pleasant life of the New Year. The special forces and guards who follow He Zhengdao travel together have to celebrate the New Year outside almost every year. Such a life must be a bit hard to say.

But as the most trusted force of Zhengdao, they are also proud of having such an opportunity. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to accompany the chiefs of the military region for a long time to visit grassroots troops everywhere at this time.

Although they are rushing back and forth on the way to the grassroots troops every day, such a march is also a kind of training for them. At least the officers and soldiers who travel with He Zhengdao know that this is also a disguised training for them.

As the most trusted and elite troops under He Zhengdao, they must have stronger combat effectiveness than other main forces. Following He Zhengdao like this can also exercise their emergency response capabilities during the march.

Following the route demarcated with Outer Mongolia, He Zhengdao walked all the way to Suiyuan. However, He Zhengdao's route is still so unpredictable. Sometimes it appears on the border, sometimes it appears in some border counties.

When the Spring Festival was nearly one month after, He Zhengdao, who had been inspecting outside for nearly two months, appeared at the command center of the Daqingshan Garrison Brigade. The guards who could be responsible for protecting He Zhengdao were still marching in the border areas.

There is only one purpose of doing this, that is, to hide He Zhengdao's whereabouts. Even from the current situation, the Japanese army did not know that He Zhengdao was inspecting the troops outside. However, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces remained strictly confidential about He Zhengdao's whereabouts.

Although the Spring Festival has passed more than a month, for the people living in the north and the garrison troops, it is not yet time for them to work and prepare for war. In such a winter, it seems to them that it is very rare to have time to rest.

However, compared to the newly formed Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the Battle of Shanxi while the people were still staying at home and waiting for the snow melting, some troops even added a group of new recruits.

At this moment, the Daqingshan Garrison Brigade where He Zhengdao is located is also the earliest garrison force that He Zhengdao established in Suiyuan area earlier. He Zhengdao appeared here this time and planned to inspect the Garrison Brigade.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Daqingshan Garrison Brigade seems to have no need to exist. After all, the area around Daqingshan has now become the control area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, and it is not convenient to place the garrison troops in the mountains.

But He Zhengdao did not give up on this military base built in the mountains. Guo Junjie, who was still serving as the brigade commander here, had the opportunity to serve as the commander of the newly formed third division. But in the end, He Zhengdao did not promote him.

Although Guo Junjie felt a little regretful when he failed to become a teacher, he just waited for He Zhengdao to explain to him that after the next stage of appointment, Guo Junjie was grateful to He Zhengdao from the bottom of his heart and did not feel any regret when he was not a teacher.

This time, Guo Junjie was undoubtedly the most excited to see He Zhengdao quietly arrive at Daqingshan. He knew very well that He Zhengdao came here to check the training results. If He Zhengdao was satisfied, I believe he was about to leave Daqingshan.

In fact, when the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were established, many troops in the Daqingshan Garrison Brigade were transferred from Daqingshan to other surrounding garrison troops to continue serving.

However, many new recruits and veterans from other troops have received orders to enter Daqingshan. In the eyes of many people, this may be just a very normal allocation of troops and defense exchanges for the Eighth Route Army.

But only He Zhengdao and a few people know that if there are careful people who are now stationed in Daqingshan, they will find that at least half of the militias from Northeast China in this army.

The intention of specially forming such a force was naturally He Zhengdao intended to do so. The reason is that before the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces advanced into the Northeast, he needed to form a vanguard force to go to the Northeast to fight for the front station for the main force.

After watching the training of the troops, He Zhengdao summoned Guo Junjie and others to a meeting and said, "Comrades, it is already early March now. I believe you have also seen the heavy snow outside and it has begun to melt. This means that the battle in the new year will begin again.

No need to say anything more. Starting from the formation of your special column in the military region, you should all be clear about the mission you undertake. I think many of you can't wait to accept the combat mission.

But when I formed a special advancing column, I told you that as the troops who fought for the main force, you will face a very dangerous situation. Therefore, I must come and confirm whether you are ready!"

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Guo Junjie, who was still the brigade commander, immediately stood up and said, "Commander, since the day we advanced into the column, all the officers and soldiers of the column were always ready to go to war. Please give orders!"

‘Please give orders from the commander!’

After Guo Junjie finished speaking, the other commanders who were transferred to serve as the commander of the column also stood up and asked for battle with serious expressions. For them, they had long been looking forward to the day when the troops could fight back to the Northeast.

In order to ensure the smooth battle of the Advance Column, He Zhengdao even applied to Taizu and General Zhu to draw a large number of Northeastern officers and soldiers from other troops, hoping that the Advance Column could win.

As long as they can open the passage to march into the Northeast, He Zhengdao will follow up next. I believe that some areas that are currently under the control of the Japanese army will be recovered in a short period of time.

‘Okay! I know, you have not delayed the training of the troops during this period. I have seen your training results and results before, but overall it is still very good, which means you have also spent a lot of effort to organize the training.

But you should all be clear that the head of the headquarters has given you most expectations in organizing your troops. In order to ensure that you can complete the combat mission successfully, I have also assigned you many military backbones of the reconnaissance brigade.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of your troops must be at least stronger than the main forces. Only in this way can you successfully complete the combat tasks assigned by the military region. Now tell me, are you ready?’

He Zhengdao, who also stood up and asked seriously, soon heard Guo Junjie and others yelling: "It's ready!"

‘Okay! Now that you are ready, then, now start to teach the combat missions given to you by the military leadership region!’

He Zhengdao, who was talking, quickly handed over the prepared combat orders to Guo Junjie and others in the form of documents. Looking at the combat orders on the documents, Guo Junjie and others also felt a lot of pressure.

But while they were under pressure, they felt that the burden on their shoulders was not light. The possibility of taking on such combat tasks shows that He Zhengdao had high expectations for them. They also felt very proud to be the vanguard of the military region!

Although the combat order has been issued, He Zhengdao also knew that it would take some time for the Advance Column to drive. After all, it is not easy for the Advance Column to enter the Northeast.

The Japanese and puppet troops who are now facing the Sui Cha-Hebei Military Sub-district are also waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops. If the main force wants to enter the Northeast smoothly, they must solve all the obstacles that were previously placed in front of the troops.

After reading the combat orders, He Zhengdao met the officers participating in the meeting and did not show too much fear on his face. This shows that these officers are all ready to go to war. So what he has to do is to give these subordinates more confidence.

Not long after, he continued: "I know that this combat plan seems a bit embarrassing for you. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the next combat plan, the military region has drawn a combat brigade from the special forces division to cooperate with you in the battle.

Specific combat orders will be issued soon. What your column needs to do is to prepare to go to the front line at any time. I hope that if you don’t move, you will have to show your reputation once the battle begins.

As the first troops to recapture the Northeast, you will face many difficulties. But at the same time, you will enjoy more honors in the future than others. Most importantly, you will welcome the welcome of the elders of your hometown with your head held high.

It has been more than seven years since the Northeast fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders during the September 18th Incident. I think both you and the people in the Northeast are looking forward to your return. I hope you don’t let them down!”

After a meeting with He Zhengdao, he secretly summoned the commanders of the advancing column who had been trained here for nearly half a year for a meeting. Many of the advancing column soldiers also felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong.

Their daily training that had been unable to stop earlier, which made them suffer suddenly decreased a lot. Some units serving as column reconnaissance were also sent out one after another, and the logistics troops came and went to transport a large number of supplies.

Such an action undoubtedly tells the column officers and soldiers that what they have been expecting is probably going to be realized. As for where they will fight in the first battle next, perhaps they will only know when the entire column starts to set off.

However, after giving the order, He Zhengdao quietly arrived in Suiyuan City after Daqingshan came out. As the headquarters of the Sui Cha Ji Military Sub-district, the atmosphere of preparation here seems to be very strong.

However, in the eyes of Japanese intelligence personnel, most of the main combat troops of the Sui Cha-Hebei Military Sub-district are now arranged on the front line of Zhangjiakou. As long as these troops are not mobilized, I believe that no war will happen in the short term.

When the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces began to prepare for a new battle, the new commander of North China also arrived in Peiping. When he arrived, he realized that a new round of confrontation between the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army would begin soon! (To be continued.)
