"They have finally arrived" Li Guotao showed a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet the new political commissar first." ”Saying that, he hurriedly returned to the headquarters with Changde and the others.The new political commissar sent by the headquarters this time is also an old acquaintance of Li Guotao and others, and this person is none other than Commander Lu of the former Jizhong Military Region.Commander Lu was originally a native of the Northeast, and had been in the Northeast Army for many years, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Lu led his troops to participate in the Eighth Route Army.For a former general of the Northeast Army like Commander Lu, it was at the time of the September 18 Incident that hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops withdrew from the Northeast without firing a single shot, giving up thousands of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains in the three eastern provinces to the Japanese.And their greatest wish in this life is to return to their hometown in the Northeast, regain the lost territory, and be ashamed.Therefore, when Commander Lu learned the news that the Eighth Route Army was going to march into the northeast on a large scale, he repeatedly sent telegrams to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army asking for war, and even said that as long as he was allowed to return to the northeast, he was willing to be a pawn.After careful consideration, the headquarters finally agreed to Commander Lu's request for war, of course, it was impossible to really let him be a small soldier, and later Li Guotao expressed his willingness to give up the position of commander, and he was willing to be a deputy commander to assist Commander Lu in counterattacking the northeast.And Political Commissar Meng also expressed his willingness to give up his position as political commissar and become a deputy political commissar or deputy commander himself.In the end, the headquarters decided to appoint Commander Lu as the political commissar of the seventh column, and Political Commissar Meng as the deputy political commissar and director of the political department.However, this time with Commander Lu, there are also two deputy commanders just appointed by the headquarters, they are Yang Xuecheng, deputy commander, this person was originally a famous generation of fierce generals in the Red Army period, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he successively served as the commander of the regiment, the commander of the independent division, and the commander of the military division.This time, he was also transferred by the headquarters to assist Li Guotao.The other deputy commander is also an old acquaintance, Li Changsheng, the former commander of the Eastern Hebei Army Division.Li Changsheng also took the initiative to ask the headquarters for war, hoping to march into the northeast with the army, and the headquarters finally appointed him as deputy commander after studying and deciding.After these three people arrived in Zhangjiakou first, they rushed to Chabei to report.As soon as Li Guotao entered the door, he saw Political Commissar Meng, Commander Lu and others sitting and talking, Li Guotao laughed and walked in, and said excitedly: "Commander Lu, I finally have you here." ”When Commander Lu and the others saw that Li Guotao was back, they stood up one after another.Commander Lu greeted him with a smile, stretched out a pair of big hands and shook Li Guotao, and said with a smile: "Guotao, I haven't seen you for a few months, you kid is getting more and more powerful now" Li Guotao smiled and said: "The commander is too polite, I Li Guotao can have today, it's not that you have always taught meritorious" "You kid, don't wear a high hat for Lao Tzu, and in the future, I will not be a commander, but the political commissar of our seventh column, you are the real commander" Commander Lu said with a smile.Li Guotao said with a smile: "Even if I am the commander, aren't you a political commissar, you are still a well-deserved leader, and I have to obey your command, don't you" Commander Lu shook his head with a smile and said: "You stinky boy, when did you become this flamboy" "Haha, I learned from the old chief" Li Guotao said with a smile."
you, I didn't teach you this," Commander Lu said with a smile and shook his head.Li Guotao smiled, then turned to look at Yang Xuecheng and Li Changsheng, these two guys were also polite, immediately stood upright, saluted a military salute, and said with a serious face: "Report to the commander, deputy commander Yang Xuecheng Li Changsheng came to report, please instruct" Li Guotao smiled, waved his hand and said: "Look at the two of you, it's not the first time we've met, why are you so formal" said and shook hands with the two of them.Li Changsheng naturally needless to say, as soon as the Seventh Column arrived in eastern Hebei, Li Changsheng has been leading his troops to assist the Seventh Column in the battle, and later fought with Li Guotao to Rehe, and the two are naturally acquainted.As for Yang Xuecheng, although he is not too familiar, he has worked together more than once before, so everyone knows each other.Yang Xuecheng said with a smile: "That's not good, this rule still has to be there, you are the commander, we are the deputy commander." ”Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "What is the main and secondary, everyone is their own people, and everyone will discuss what is coming."
Everyone came from afar, presumably tired, come on, let's sit down and talk" Saying that, everyone sat down one after another, after Commander Lu sat down, he picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this northern Chabei region to be so cold, it's not worse than the northeast" "Wouldn't this be just right, and the soldiers could also adapt to it in advance." ”Li Guotao said with a smile.Commander Lu nodded and said, "That's the same, but after the reorganization of the troops, it is estimated that spring will also begin, and it will gradually warm up at that time." ”Yang Xuecheng said with a smile: "But we advanced into the Northeast this time and created an anti-Japanese base in the Northeast, which is not a task that can be completed in a short time, this year's winter has passed, and next year's winter, you are all northerners, I, a southerner, really can't stand it, although I have been in the north for a few years, I still can't adapt to the winter in the north." ”"Haha" Li Guotao said with a smile: "Then let's try to recover the Northeast within a year, and then wave our troops into the customs, no matter what, we can't let our Commander Yang spend the winter in the Northeast." ”"That's a good feeling," Yang Xuecheng said with a smile and nodded.Commander Lu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's stop chatting, the three of us have worked hard to finally come here in order to be able to go out of the customs and fight."
A few of us have already had a lot of energy in our hearts, ready to do a big job.But we just came, and we don't know much about the situation here, so you can also introduce it to us, so that we can put into work as soon as possible" Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Then let me give you a brief introduction first, overall, everything is going well, and the only trouble is the armored division."
At present, the equipment supported by Soviet Russia has not been delivered, but the biggest difficulty is not these, but personnel problems.If it is only infantry, let alone more than 100,000 people, even if it is more than 200,000 people, it is not a difficulty for the Eighth Route Army today.But armored soldiers are not ordinary infantry, and if you want to become a qualified armored soldier, the requirements are quite high.So far, the more than 10,000 infantry belonging to the armored division have been fully equipped, but the personnel of the armored corps have not yet made up half of it" aa2705221:
