Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 460: Cut off their retreat and force the enemy to surrender

Xinxiang, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The combat meeting room of the new military zone is located in the southwest corner of the entire building complex.

This was originally the confidential place of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was used to secretly summon puppet army leaders and local agents. Now it is transformed and used by the staff working group of infantry experts.

After entering the room, Li Yunlong and others found that there were not many people in the room. Looking up, there were only a few regimental commanders such as Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei.

Looking at the slightly empty room, Lao Li immediately asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Hey, Lao Ding, Blind Cheng, where are General Xu? Why don't we see other comrades? Why are there only a few of you in the meeting place?"

Hearing the muttering of the old comrade, Cheng and Ding stood up from their seats without saying a word. They pulled the three and seven and a half commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade to sit down, and then explained:

"Except for your airborne troops, the other brigade-level commanders have been called away by General Xu himself. Everyone should be in the staff department now, accepting the new stage of tasks."

"It is estimated that after the strategic goals of the general direction are determined, it will be the turn of the combat units at the regiment level."

"Wait a little longer, this matter can't be rushed."

Hearing this, the commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade all nodded in agreement, affirming the speculation of their old comrades.

In this operation, their Eighth Route Army took over most of Henan Province in one go, which is more than 80,000 square kilometers of land including more than 50 county towns.

Even if the infantry experts led their own staff to personally go out, it would take a lot of time and energy to gradually restore the administrative and public security management systems of each county.

In addition, relevant matters of disaster relief must be considered.

There is no way, sometimes the vast territory is also a kind of distress.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army has summed up a lot of work experience in Shanxi Province and Suiyuan. Otherwise, it would be a headache to receive a land equivalent to the sum of the three European low-lying countries, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

While waiting, Li Yunlong took out a military map of South China from his briefcase with the mentality of being idle.

While he was working on the map skillfully, he praised his old comrades:

"Old Ding, Blind Cheng, the commotion you two made in northern Henan this time was not small, almost attracting the attention of all the major forces in the country. In theory, even Baldhead has to pinch his nose and issue a commendation order to the troops."

"After you have fame and reputation, if nothing unexpected happens, the focus of your next work should be a series of arrangements for the advisory group."

"After two years, since the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the three of us will fight side by side again."

At this point, Li Yunlong has completed the map-making work. After his operation, a simple combat map for airborne landing has appeared in front of everyone.

Ding and Cheng are both veterans who have been in the army for several years. Looking at the Qiongya map with a pineapple-like outline, they understand the strategic thinking of their superiors.

Both of them are full of fighting spirit and can't wait to take a transport plane to South China to save the people from the water and fire.

"According to the current plan of the headquarters, our future actions can not only recover the lost territory, but also establish a military springboard with a large amount of material reserves."

"Once there is a stable rear area, the advisory group will naturally be in an invincible position where it can attack and defend, and even the subsequent operational space is infinite!"

"Good, good, it's great. Why didn't I think of this strategy before?"

Seeing the old comrades, they could hardly hold back the joy and excitement in their hearts. The mean Li Yunlong acted decisively and added fuel to the fire again.

"Hehe, look at your achievements. Don't just think about the allies and devils in Southeast Asia. Why don't you take a long-term view?"

"As long as our Eighth Route Army can successfully take over the entire Qiongya, the bald man and the incompetent man he mentioned will probably be in trouble."

"After all, from a long-term strategic and tactical perspective, that is one of their few escape routes."

As soon as these words came out, Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi immediately understood. They rubbed their hands excitedly, with smirks on their faces, trying to cut off their retreat and force the enemy to surrender.

Judging from the current battlefield situation, it is only a matter of time before the troops drive away the Japanese and even achieve a full-scale counterattack.

On the basis of the above, it is not too much to plan for the future in advance. Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a final battle with those who have different ideals and beliefs.

······

Just as everyone was ready to fight in South China.

The infantry expert suddenly brought a dozen comrades and pushed open the door and walked into the combat meeting room.

At this time, Li Yunlong was very keen to find that his teacher's mental state did not seem to be very good, and the whole person even looked a little depressed.

"Time is limited. Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting directly. Let's all sit down."

The infantry expert skipped the greeting stage. After a simple look around and counting the number of people present, he conveniently pulled out a chair and sat down first, and started speaking straight to the point:

"The focus of this meeting is very simple and clear, that is, how to successfully complete the reconstruction of the administrative and public security system of Henan Province under the interference of the First and Fifth War Zones of Guosu and the Twelfth Army of the Japanese."

"Liu, please send everyone the plan you just wrote so that all the regiment leaders and cadres can have a bottom line in their hearts."

After speaking, a young staff officer immediately stepped out. He quickly placed a document in front of everyone and indicated that everyone could open it at any time.

In fact, in a sense, the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master are definitely the most experienced large forces in dealing with disasters in the whole country.

After all, before the reorganization or 1939, the bases of various regions were all located in remote areas with relatively harsh climatic conditions and relatively underdeveloped economic levels.

There is no way, only in these impoverished places, the enemy's military strength will be weaker, and the troops can take the opportunity to establish a base.

Of course, there are exceptions to the above situation.

Just like the unprogressive preserved fruits, they not only have no ability to govern the controlled areas, but also make the famine worse and worse. They don't even sum up their experience and lessons, causing the people to be tortured to death by natural disasters.

Seeing that the regimental cadres had finished reading the documents just issued, the infantry expert cleared his throat and said:

"In the coming days, you will lead your respective troops to station in the designated county area. After you are completely settled, everyone must pay attention to propaganda work."

"Without the support of the people, all plans are in vain."

"Don't worry about the game of the top leaders. The Eighth Office and Xinhua Daily in various regions will definitely firmly occupy the public opinion position."

In the days when the troops had not yet been reorganized, Guofu used many tricks to reduce the influence of TG.

These people often spread rumors in the base area, trying to use the limitations of information to incite the people to fight against the people.

Whenever there is a natural disaster, they organize grain-grabbing teams and dry-eating teams to grab grain according to the strategy of eating one village after another.

Although there has been no official fight with Guofu's First War Zone, the infantry expert has expected that the other side will use slogans similar to the Eighth Route Army's grain reserves to drive the affected people to the liberated areas for persecution.

After hearing his teacher's instructions, Li Yunlong stood up from his seat without saying a word, and added in a tone of concern:

"Natural disasters are the easiest to destroy people's confidence."

"Everyone should go down to the grassroots, visit and comfort, listen to the opinions of the victims, and respond to their needs. Under appropriate conditions, we can even explain various disaster relief plans to the masses to help the people overcome pessimism and despair."

"At the same time, we must let the soldiers explain to the victims the root cause of the drought, so that everyone knows who their real enemy is!"

"If we don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it, and we must not lose it!"

As soon as these words came out, thunderous applause rang out in the audience. All commanders stood up and applauded, expressing their approval of their comrades with their actual actions.

The infantry expert was no exception.

Looking at the confident Li Yunlong, the fatigue on his face was involuntarily replaced by pride.

This is the student he taught. The other party is not only among the top three in the world in the military field he is good at, but also has a good understanding of administration.

In time, maybe he will be a polygonal warrior.

After a moment of sighing, the infantry expert knocked on the table first. When everyone's eyes were on him, he continued:

"Li Yunlong's words make sense, but in addition to the public opinion position, troops at all levels need to participate in the subsequent disaster relief operations in person."

"The Eighth Route Army has very limited manpower and material resources. If we rely on ourselves, it will be a drop in the bucket. So you must mobilize the victims to save themselves, and organizing production is also the top priority."

"In short, we must not let the people become lazy people who passively wait for rescue, and we must change the status quo through our own labor!"

After speaking, the infantry expert turned his eyes to the Seventh Route and a Half who listened attentively.

In his plan, in order to formulate a practical disaster relief policy, the troops need to give priority to counting the disaster situation in the counties and districts they belong to after they are stationed, and group them according to the production skills mastered by the people.

If conditions permit, a series of work on developing water conservancy projects such as digging canals, building embankments, and repairing dams must be completed.

By then, it will be the stage for the Seventh Route and a Half to show their talents.

Adhering to the idea of ​​trusting people when employing them, and not employing people when doubting them, the infantry expert directly named and assigned tasks.

"Yisheng, the relevant matters of Henan Province's water conservancy will be handed over to you. In order to avoid any stress reaction from the preserved fruit, the headquarters can only give you a deputy position for the time being, and I hope you understand."

"But don't worry, the organization will never treat meritorious officials unfairly."

"After taking office, as long as the purpose is reasonable, you can mobilize troops at all levels at will to cooperate with your water conservancy department to complete the work."

Hearing this, the Seventh Route and a Half's eyes suddenly burst into excitement. He volunteered to come to Henan Province, isn't it just for this moment?

As for the issue of the deputy position, he didn't care at all. After all, the current situation is special, and a tall man with enough weight is needed to support it.

Otherwise, with the personality of the bald man, if he knew that he had publicly switched sides, wouldn't he be so angry?

After making up his mind, Qiluban stood up and replied righteously and passionately: "Thank you for the trust of the organization. I promise to complete the task!"

······

In the following period of time, the infantry expert and his staff were almost hand-in-hand with the commanders of the regiments.

Such a big deal was not because the new military region was worried about these old comrades who had walked through the grasslands and climbed the snow-capped mountains. It was mainly because the disaster in the province was extremely serious and no mistakes could be allowed.

Of course, the commanders also had a positive attitude towards learning. After all, it was rare to be personally guided by their superiors, and no one wanted to give up the opportunity to improve.

Two and a half hours later, the infantry expert sat back in his chair. He first drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, then circled a few counties on the map and emphasized:

"These areas are the most severely affected. Even if the border area and the headquarters try their best to rescue, it is difficult to save all the people."

"Therefore, we need to implement an immigration plan to transport the interested people to Suiyuan through roads and railways to work instead of relief."

"Wait until Henan Province successfully overcomes the disaster, and then bring people from outside the Great Wall."

Using infrastructure to drive economic growth, or to lead the people through a certain disaster, is actually a policy used by most countries in the world.

Take Ah Chou for example. The reason why they became the first generation of infrastructure maniacs is because Master Luo launched a series of public works during the economic crisis.

At present, the Eighth Route Army controls the Daoqing Railway, the entire Tongpu Railway, and half of the Pingsui Railway, plus many roads in Zhongtiao Mountain, and is fully capable of sending some of the victims to Suiyuan.

It just takes longer, but it is better than starving to death in your hometown.

The area outside the Great Wall is in a period of rapid development, and almost all major light and heavy industrial factories are recruiting workers, which can provide tens of thousands of jobs in the future.

It is definitely more than enough to feed more than 100,000 people.

"Yes! Guarantee to complete the task!" (End of this chapter)
