Political Commissar Meng has been sitting next to him, reviewing a document, and has never spoken, after hearing Li Guotao's words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, put down the document in his hand, and said with a serious face: "I don't think there is anything to be embarrassed about in this matter."
We are the Eighth Route Army, a disciplined army, and we must obey orders and obey the arrangements of the organization, and we are participating in the revolution for what purpose, for defeating all the invaders such as the little devils, and for the liberation of the poor people throughout the country.We are not here to be promoted, not to get rich.If he is dissatisfied or even emotional because of this trivial matter, then he is not worthy of being called a soldier of the Eighth Route Army. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Political Commissar Meng is right, it seems that I made a bureaucratic mistake, I should believe that our commanders and fighters have such a consciousness." ”Political Commissar Meng nodded with satisfaction, picked up the document again and continued to read it.Ma Zhenguo smiled slightly, looked at Li Guotao and said: "Commander, then you have decided on the candidate for this brigade commander now" Li Guotao smiled and said: "You are so curious, is it possible to be the brigade commander if you want to be this brigade commander" Ma Zhenguo hurriedly smiled and waved his hand and said: "People are noble and self-aware, and I have no other advantages as a person, and this self-knowledge is still there."
I thought I really didn't have the ability to be a good brigade commander, so I still stayed in front of the political commissar and commander, helped come up with ideas, ran errands or something, and just said" Li Guotao said with a smile: "Even if you want to be, I won't let you be."
You go down there to be a brigade commander, then where can I find such a good chief of staff" Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "Don't joke about me, who is it, tell me about it" Li Guotao said with a serious face: "What do you think, how about Su Xiufeng" Ma Zhenguo nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, he is a suitable candidate." ”Political Commissar Meng raised his head, thought for a while, and said: "Su Xiufeng, this kid, is also an old comrade, he has participated in the revolution for a long time, and he is a good comrade who has withstood the test.Moreover, his command skills are enough to be qualified for the post of commander of the newly formed Fifth Brigade, and I think he can be the commander of this brigade.Of course, you are the commander, and you have to make the final decision on this matter, and my opinion is for reference only. ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Since neither of you has any opinions, then Zhenguo will be so decided, and immediately draft an order appointing Su Xiufeng as the commander of the new Fifth Brigade, responsible for preparing for the construction of the new Fifth Brigade." ”"I drafted the order right away."
Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully.At this moment, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”As he spoke, he respectfully handed a telegram in his hand to Li Guotao.Li Guotao took the telegram and read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.Ma Zhenguo frowned and asked, "Commander, what does the telegram from the headquarters say" Even the political commissar Meng next to him put down the documents in his hand and looked at Li Guotao with a curious expression.Li Guotao handed the telegram in his hand to Ma Zhenguo, and said with a serious face: "The headquarters has just received accurate information, and the Japanese troops originally assembled in Hebei are being transferred to the front line in Henan. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned, thought about it for a while, and said: "It seems that the little devil wants to launch an offensive in Henan, it seems that this Gangcun Ningci is also only picking up soft persimmons and pinching them, knowing that our army has made sufficient preparations in Shanxi, so they dare not attack Shanxi, and instead attack Henan." ”Political Commissar Meng frowned and said, "I don't think this matter should be so simple. ”Li Guotao glanced at the map, frowned and thought about it for a while, and said with a serious face: "What Political Commissar Meng said makes sense, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple.Gangcun Ningci suddenly transferred troops to attack Henan, so what is his intention" Ma Zhenguo carefully observed the map, seemed to think of something, and said with a look of sudden realization: "Could it be that the little devil wants to completely open up the Pinghan Railway." ”Li Guotao nodded and said, "What you said is to the point, I think it is very possible."
If the Japanese army occupies the entire line of the Pinghan Railway, then the Japanese army in North China and the Japanese army in Central China can be completely connected through the main transportation artery of the Pinghan Railway Line.If that's the case, it's definitely not good news for us. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded with a serious face and said: "If this is really the case, then the little devil will never only launch an offensive in Henan, but the Japanese 11th Army in Central China will definitely launch an attack on the southern Henan area, so that the north and south will be flanked and the Pinghan Railway will be opened in one fell swoop." ”Li Guotao nodded approvingly and said: "I think this is very likely, Gangcun Ningci was the commander of the 11th Army before, and I think he already had a plan to attack the southern Henan region before."
Now that he has been transferred to the post of commander of the North China Dispatch Army, if this is really the case, then the First Theater of Operations in Henan and the Fifth Theater of Operations in Northern Hubei will probably be in big trouble. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said, "I think we should report our analysis to the headquarters for the headquarters leaders to formulate the next strategic deployment." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "You can also deal with this matter of Zhenguo" Although Li Guotao understands that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army can produce many people, they can guess this, and the leaders of the headquarters will definitely be able to see this, but the necessary report is still needed."
No problem."
Ma Zhenguo nodded, got up and left.Li Guotao was still frowning, as if he had something on his mind.Political Commissar Meng said with a smile: "Why are you still looking so sad, what are you thinking" Li Guotao sighed lightly and said: "Although the Japanese army may not attack Shanxi for the time being, but the Japanese army launched an attack on Henan, and our Eighth Route Army must not sit idly by."
I estimate that a big war is about to begin, so before that, we must complete the reorganization plan of the troops as soon as possible and restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible.Political Commissar Meng nodded and said: "You are right, although the Japanese army will not attack Shanxi for the time being, but we cannot take it lightly, the current situation is very delicate, we must be ready to fight a big war at any time, a tough battle."
You kid has always been smart, do you think this time, how should our Eighth Route Army deal with this attack of the little devil" Li Guotao said with a smile: "I'm not the roundworm in Mr.
Peng's stomach, how do I know how to play his next move" aa2705221:
