As the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army fell into a brief period of peace, the North China Front Army also gained a glimmer of opportunity. For them, they hoped to maintain this peace before reinforcements arrived.

On the other hand, the division troops that were originally sent to the Rehe area were harassed several times. Finally, according to the orders of the Kwantung Army Command, the two main divisions that were sent from Hei Province also began to be dispatched to the Nomenhan area.

Perhaps because the reinforcements suddenly changed the route, the Eighth Division, which was originally planning to launch a counterattack, was eventually ordered to station on the Pingquan line. As long as the Eighth Route Army did not take the initiative to launch an attack, they would not allow the main force to launch an attack.

For the Kwantung Army, how to counterattack the Soviet Far East Army at the moment is their most important task. If the Eighth Route Army really wanted them to launch a fierce attack at this time, it would not be a good thing for the Kwantung Army.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is about to stop when it is better, the Kwantung Army is naturally willing to maintain the status quo. In fact, while He Zhengdao issued an order to reorganize the troops, he is also deploying the next combat plan.

According to He Zhengdao's combat plan to recover the Northeast, the next major goal of the Northeast Field Army is to recover the enemy-occupied areas in Rehe. The attacking edge of the field army was to reach the Japanese stationed in Fengtian.

How to fight and when to fight is also a question worth considering. After all, the Kwantung Army has deployed a lot of troops on Fengtian and Rehe lines. If you want to attack with force, the Northeast Field Army will inevitably suffer major casualties.

This is naturally not a good thing for the troops that have just been reorganized. Even if the Northeast Field Army needs to be expanded in the future, the number of veteran troops will directly affect the combat effectiveness of this army.

Let Zhu Fei pay close attention to the military trends of the Soviet Far Eastern Army and the Kwantung Army in the Nomenhan area, while He Zhengdao was also secretly deploying the next offensive plan. However, these plans must be completed after the reorganization of the troops.

With the restoration of Chengde, the earlier Hebei Military Sub-district officially became the liberated area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. Although the North China region occupied by the North China Front Army was still separated by the North China region, for the people of Hebei, they also enjoyed preferential treatment in the liberated area.

After receiving the reorganization order issued by He Zhengdao, as the commander of the Hebei Military Sub-district, Xu Mingyuan was naturally grateful for He Zhengdao's appointment as the commander of the Third Column.

After all, as the commander of a military sub-district, being able to become the commander of a column is undoubtedly a recognition of his work and achievements. But he also knows that this position is very heavy and the task is very heavy.

When it comes to the reorganization of three main divisions, Xu Mingyuan is also considering the candidates for the three main division commanders. At present, the troops of the Hebei Military Sub-district are all organized by the main regiment. Promoting the regiment commander as the division commander is also a matter that he needs to consider carefully.

Just when Xu Mingyuan was having a headache about how to select the division-level commander of the new main division, the Third Column Command set up in Qian'an welcomed a group of people. Looking at the person walking in the front, Xu Mingyuan seemed a little stunned.

He hurriedly trotted forward and said, "Commander, why are you here?"

‘What, can’t I come? You guy, I asked you to submit a report, but why didn’t you see the report for a long time? Isn’t it a headache and I don’t know who to choose as a teacher, right?’

The person who came with the supply team in front of him was He Zhengdao, who was supposed to be in Doron. In fact, when He Zhengdao came here on this trip, he wanted to inspect the troops and conduct further inspections for the next battle.

As an unignorable combat unit in the East Field Army, its regular troops of more than 100,000 really need to be reorganized. After the reorganization, the Third Column only retained less than 70,000 elite troops.

This also means that the remaining main forces need to be converted into garrison troops. Xu Mingyuan really needs to think carefully about how to do this reorganization. He Zhengdao has also experienced this difficulty before.

Worried that Xu Mingyuan would not be able to complete the reorganization of the troops as soon as possible, He Zhengdao thought of coming over and taking a look. Moreover, in his combat plan, the third column, which was adapted from the Jidong Military Sub-district, played a role in the future, was also very important.

While talking, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Mingyuan, let me introduce to you Comrade Han Xianchu next to me. Next, you will work together to serve as the political commissar of the Third Column.

In order to strengthen the leadership team of your third column, the Chairman and General Zhu can also be said to have drawn the elites of the main divisions. You kid, please ask Political Commissar Han for advice in the future, they are good generals who can be both literary and military!"

Facing He Zhengdao's introduction, Han Xianchu, who was ordered to be sent to the Third Column as the political commissar, actually seemed very surprised. Originally, he was in the 115th Division, when the troops were reorganized, he had been appointed as the commander of a main division.

As a result, the transfer order from the central government and headquarters was issued, and his division commander was in a mess, but he became the political commissar of the Third Column of the Northeast Field Army. What he didn't know was that when he saw this appointment letter, He Zhengdao was also surprised.

If he had a good memory, Comrade Han Xianchu should have been the leader of the column of the Third Column. However, his position changed from commander to political commissar. But it is undeniable that this is a clean person who can truly fight.

In fact, many military cadres of the Eighth Route Army have the experience of serving as political cadres. To a certain extent, they can further strengthen the military leadership team of the column.

As for the work of political education, as long as you grasp one direction, there will naturally be grassroots political cadres below to do it. But in contrast, a political commissar with the ability to coordinate the overall situation is also very valuable in terms of military command.

Listening to He Zhengdao praising himself like this, Han Xianchu, who had read the information of the Third Column on the way here, also knew very well that he was actually promoted by this political commissar. After all, the Third Column has three main divisions under his command!

Looking at Xu Mingyuan who was saluting, Han Xianchu hurriedly replied, "Commander Xu, please ask more advice in the future! On the way here, I heard that the commander kept praising you, he is a rare tiger general!"

'Political commissar is polite! I dare to take it! The political commissar needs to worry about the matter in the column in the future! I have not had a good rest during this period of time when I heard the reorganization order issued by the above. I really can't do such a thing!"

'You are so embarrassed to say! You kid, it seems that you are still lacking in training! Learn more from Political Commissar Han. If you kid doesn't study hard, can you remove the first two words of the acting commander? I have to think about it carefully.'

Xu Mingyuan, who was laughed and scolded, didn't say much, and directly led He Zhengdao and his party into the temporary column command room. At this time, He Zhengdao also informed him in time that the leadership team of the Third Column had two generals assigned by the central government.

In addition to the Chief of Staff and the Chief of Staff of the former Hebei Military Sub-district, the political commissar and the political director were both veteran cadres selected by the central government. In this way, the column command structure of the Third Column was suitable and combat-ready in He Zhengdao's opinion.

After listening to Xu Mingyuan's report, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "The eighteen main groups must be reduced into three main divisions, which means at least six main groups must be reduced. This job seems to be really difficult to do.

But now after your Jidong Military Sub-district is reorganized, the security and protection of the liberated areas also require troops. I think there is no problem with the reduction of the six main regiments and serving as the garrison troops of the Jidong Military Sub-district.

But judging from the combat effectiveness of several columns at present, the situation of your third column should be the best but the most complicated. How to screen twelve main groups from the eighteen main groups for reorganization really needs to be carefully considered."

Han Xianchu, who participated in the meeting for the first time, also sighed: "On the way here, when I saw the information given by the commander, I really admire Commander Xu for bringing up such a large team in such a short time.

Earlier, your Hebei Military Sub-district was not visible or exposed. This time, he suddenly pulled out so many troops. To be honest, I was really shocked. After all, the enemy situation here is more complicated than we are in Shanxi and North China!"

Faced with Han Xianchu's sigh, Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Political Commissar, I dare not take such praise! To be honest, when I was ordered to come here to open a base behind enemy lines, I had less than 5,000 troops under my command.

But this place is a severely affected area. The Japanese devils suffered a complete disaster here. The people in Jidong hated the Japanese devils very much. After winning several battles, our fame gradually emerged and the people gradually supported us.

We were able to expand the troops so much in such a short time, which actually gave us blessings to the Japanese. The main force destroyed the Japanese railway almost the same, and we were not damaged by the railway passing through our defense zone.

By ambushing the Japanese army, we also shot and changed places. We gradually found that the number of troops had increased. We had originally wanted to launch a regaining battle, but we were always suppressed by the commander.

Now think about it, if we launch an attack in advance, we are afraid that we will be swept wildly by the Japanese. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of these main groups in our military sub-district is still far behind the main forces."

His family knows his own affairs, and Xu Mingyuan, who came out of the column, knew very well He Zhengdao's ability to lead troops. If he really wanted to select the main force according to regulations, many troops in their military sub-district now did not meet the standards.

But the palms and backs of hands are all flesh, so it is really difficult for him as the commander to become the main force of the main division. Logically speaking, it is the most convenient to adapt all of them into the main force. But that won’t work!

After all, Xu Mingyuan knew He Zhengdao's character. When selecting the main force, his principle was to be weaker than abuse. A soldier who did not meet the standards would rather be placed in the garrison troops for a period of time and become a candidate soldier of the main force.

In this way, the soldiers who are qualified to enter the main force will have a much higher chance of surviving on the battlefield. It is precisely because of this selection principle that the current Northeast Field Army has such strong combat effectiveness!
