Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'Commander, long time no see!I originally wanted to send a telegram to the commander in advance, but this time I have an escort mission, so I didn't dare to send you a telegram.Now that the task is complete, I'll come and visit you.

Those boys from Team [-] are all outside now!Hearing that he came to visit the commander, everyone was very excited.Commander, we're here this time and want to stay by your side for a few more days, do you think it's okay? '

Listening to what Song Yuping said, He Zhengdao said dumbfoundedly: "You are also the captain of the Southern Army Knife Special Forces, what do you look like now? Why don't you call all those bastards in!"

Song Yuping, who was being scolded, didn't mind at all, and quickly called in other comrades who were staying outside.In addition to some old players brought over earlier, there are naturally new recruits from the Southern Saber.

As new members of the saber, these people have all heard from Song Yuping that there is only one real instructor and founder of the saber, and that is He Zhengdao, who is known as the "red warrior" in front of him.

'Grow well! '

Song Yuping immediately laughed and cursed at the titles these team members called out: "It's good to be called the captain! In our saber special force, there is only one captain. In front of the commander, you are not allowed to be called the captain, but the captain."

'okay!As long as you talk too much, am I not your elder?If I were the captain, then what are you?Although you walked out of the Saber headquarters, you are now in charge of the work of the Southern Saber after all, and some disciplines must be kept in mind.

It's good to call me long, don't listen to this kid.I am still very happy to see you newcomers joining the Saber organization.I also hope that in the future, you will be able to make new contributions and make more contributions to the party and the army. '

'Yes, thank you long!We will definitely work hard! '

Although many special forces members felt that the elder Song Yuping and others could not forget in front of him seemed a little different from what he had imagined.But they more or less knew that He Zhengdao must have something worthy of Song Yuping's respect.

At such a young age, he became a military general of the Eighth Route Army, and he was also a national general personally appointed by the National Government.If there is no real ability, how can there be such an achievement now?

Let Xu Hao entertain these special forces members who came from afar, and He Zhengdao also talked with Song Yuping in the combat command room.He Zhengdao has always been concerned about Song Yuping's situation in southern Anhui.

It's just that in He Zhengdao's view, the Southern Saber and the Northern Saber are currently under the dual command of the headquarters and the troops they belong to, which seems somewhat inappropriate.In many cases, commanding is also more troublesome.

In order to better play the role of the special forces with sabers, He Zhengdao looked at the old subordinate and said: "Yuping, about your work in the south, I heard from the comrades in the headquarters and the New Fourth Army that you did not embarrass me. .

Originally, I also wanted to find an opportunity to go to southern Anhui to meet Commander Ye and Political Commissar Xiang.But now that you are here, let me tell you about my specific arrangements for you and Hu Youliang.

I believe you should also have the experience that you, who are directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, have more autonomy in combat.But for the New Fourth Army, if they want to mobilize you, it will be more troublesome, and the approval process will be troublesome.

As far as I know so far, you haven't carried out too many special warfare missions in the south, and you still spend more energy on training your troops.This situation cannot be said to be bad, but I hope that the special forces are used for war.

For this reason, since you are here today, I will discuss it with you, and plan to separate the Southern Army Knife to form a new special force, and directly put you under the jurisdiction of the New Fourth Army.What is your opinion on this? "

Facing He Zhengdao's inquiry, Song Yuping shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Commander, I know you are thinking about my future, and also to ease the embarrassing situation of our sabers in southern Anhui. But to be honest, it is not appropriate to form an independent army.

I believe you have also read the telegram I sent you before. The current situation of the New Fourth Army is more complicated.For the Saber Special Forces, whether it is Commander Ye or Political Commissar Xiang, they attach great importance to it.

But it is precisely this kind of emphasis that makes us appear to be in a dilemma when we execute orders.With the headquarters in the middle, we will have more autonomy.If we become an independent army, it will be really difficult for us to make a choice. "

As soon as these words came out, He Zhengdao frowned and said, "Is their relationship still bad?"

'It can't be said that it's bad, at least on the matter of cracking down on little devils, the two people's opinions are quite unified.It's just that when it comes to the transfer of troops, the two will disagree, and sometimes even quarrel.

Even for the training places in our saber training camp, the two of them would sometimes argue.If Saber becomes an independent army, shall we listen to Commander Ye or Political Commissar Xiang? '

As a sharp blade in the army, the role of the saber is unquestionable.That's really the case. Leaders who want to compete for the right to speak in the army will pay more attention to the existence of this team and hope to recruit it to their subordinates.Sometimes it can be difficult to make choices!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When Song Yuping brought some old subordinates and new team members to Huangchuan from the Huazhong Bureau station in Xin County to meet He Zhengdao, the old chief.In the Central China Bureau's garrison, Liu Shaoqi was also meeting with representatives of the New Fourth Army.

With the end of the Wuhan Defense War, in the eyes of many people, although the New Fourth Army only participated in the second half of the battle.However, the New Fourth Army, which came out of southern Anhui, still opened up many new bases outside southern Anhui.

Although the Japanese troops stationed in Jiangsu and Anhui have begun to consider encircling and suppressing the New Fourth Army again.But the Japanese army also knew very well that if they wanted to wipe out the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, they also had to pay a high price.

According to the latest information obtained by the Japanese army, during the period when the New Fourth Army was dormant in southern Anhui, its troops had expanded to nearly 10 people.This also means that if they want to wipe out the New Fourth Army, the Japanese army must organize at least two to three divisions.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Wuhan Defense War, the New Fourth Army attacked decisively, keeping a foothold while keeping the base area in southern Anhui.Many newly formed troops were expanded to the occupied areas around southern Anhui, which made the garrison Japanese troops exhausted.

Even now that the Battle of Wuhan is over, the main divisions of the Central China Expeditionary Army will return to build one after another.But this situation has not improved much.The New Fourth Army, which began to shrink its defenses, also did not attack the counties occupied by the Japanese army.

It was also an instruction from the Central China Bureau to end the raid.Because of the incident with the New 67th Army, the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army has also become somewhat tense.The central government even instructed the New Fourth Army to prepare for military struggle.

Once there is a change in the Central Army around the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army must also give a resolute counterattack.If there is no change between the Japanese army and the Central Army, they will also stop the expansion of the base area and focus more on the construction of the newly formed base area.

The New Fourth Army shrunk its attacking edge, which relieved the pressured Japanese army a little.Even if the little devil knows, the New Fourth Army will make a comeback sooner or later.But if they want to organize a big siege, it still takes time to organize and plan.

Taking advantage of this brief lull, the central government instructed the New Fourth Army to send representatives to the Central China Bureau for a meeting.It's just that this representative is somewhat surprising. It's not the army commander Ye Ting, nor the political commissar Xiang Ying.

Although the development of the New Fourth Army is very gratifying to the central government, as the army continues to grow and grow, the contradiction between the army commander and the political commissar has become more and more antagonistic.Ye Ting, as the commander of the army, even sent a telegram asking the central government to resign as the commander of the army.

This situation makes the central government seem to be more concerned.In order to resolve this contradiction, the Central Committee specially instructed Liu Shaoqi to summon Chen Yi, the commander of the First Division of the New Fourth Army, to meet at the Central China Bureau station.

From the perspective of the central government, the New Fourth Army played an indispensable role in the Central China Bureau and in opening up a new situation in the South.Xiang Ying, as the secretary of the Southeast Branch Bureau and the head of the party in the New Fourth Army, naturally has great power.

Ye Ting, who is the commander of the army, is sometimes not even qualified to join the party committee of the New Fourth Army because he is not a party member.Many instructions from the central government required Xiang Ying to convey them on his behalf, which made Ye Ting feel aggrieved.

Most importantly, Ye Ting is an airborne army commander, while Xiang Ying is an old leader of many units of the New Fourth Army.In many cases, Xiang Ying's prestige in the New Fourth Army was higher than that of Ye Ting, who had military command.

Even Ye Ting knew clearly that the Party's principle of commanding guns cannot be changed.But many times, there are many restrictions on troop mobilization, and Ye Ting still feels aggrieved.Even if the central government sent a special telegram, it still failed to change much.

After all, when he was in the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area, Xiang Ying also served as the chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.At that time, his position was even higher than that of Mao Taizu. In addition, he was also an old party member and had studied in the Soviet Union, so his status was self-evident.

This kind of person in charge of a party with qualifications and status, even the central government is not easy to criticize too much.It's just that the enemy situation in the south is complicated at the moment, and the situation of the New Fourth Army has reached the point where it has to be resolved.

As the commander of the first division, Chen Yi's status in the party and the New Fourth Army is self-evident.The central government specially asked Chen Yi to report to the Central China Bureau, and also wanted to hear what thoughts and opinions Chen Yi had on the current situation of the New Fourth Army.

After listening to Song Yuping's narration, He Zhengdao also knew that in fact, the discord between the military and political leaders of the New Fourth Army had planted many hidden dangers for the New Fourth Army.Once Lao Jiang seizes the opportunity, the prospects of the New Fourth Army may be worrying.

He Zhengdao, who wanted to understand this, also said helplessly: "It seems that this matter really needs to be dealt with by the central government. If the two can no longer cooperate, one of them can only be transferred from his current position."

In He Zhengdao's view, with the continuous development and growth of the New Fourth Army, a sound and united leadership team is also very important.It's just that He Zhengdao also knew that it was not good for him to intervene in this kind of matter.

Even if Ye Ting is not a party member now, he was a member of the party earlier, and even a famous general in the country.At this time, Ye Ting's military command ability is still very important to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army.

In contrast to Xiang Ying's words, after the central government withdrew from the southern Jiangxi Soviet area, he still stayed in the south to organize troops to fight, and pulled up and preserved the New Fourth Army.Speaking of it, it is also a meritorious official who has contributed to the party and the army.

So it is really not an easy thing to solve this trouble!

Listening to He Zhengdao's exclamation, Song Yuping also nodded and said, "Commander, in fact, many military and political leaders of the New Fourth Army are aware of this situation. However, Commander Ye and Political Commissar Xiang have too many differences on some matters, and it is difficult to reach an agreement.

In many cases, Commander Ye issued some instructions, and Political Commissar Xiang would veto them if he felt it was inappropriate.As a result, the military and political commanders of each unit felt very uncomfortable and did not know who to listen to. "

'This point is actually very simple. Political life depends on the political commissar, and military command depends on the commander.Why is it not a good choice?I have partnered with the political commissar for so many years, why is there no conflict?

As long as it is clear what each should be responsible for, there won't be so much trouble.Now that the central government has decided to find a way to solve this situation this time, I think whether it is Commander Ye or Political Commissar Xiang, they have to reflect on it. '

He Zhengdao, who said these words, knew very well that Xiang Ying seemed to be worried about Ye Ting.In Xiang Ying's view, Ye Ting was an army commander appointed by the national government. Although he was a party member before, he also quit the party after the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising earlier.

Now that he has rejoined the New Fourth Army organized by the party, veteran party members like Xiang Ying still have doubts about his beliefs.The importance of military power made Xiang Ying not at all at ease, and completely handed over the command of the troops to Ye Ting.

In short, in this matter, it is really difficult to distinguish right from wrong.So it becomes very tricky to deal with it!
