Zhongtiao Mountain and major base areas have been connected together, and the blockade of the base areas by the Japanese First Army is ineffective. With the influx of a large number of people from the Central Plains, the originally sparsely populated places in Hedong have become full of vitality.
Disaster victims are a double-edged sword. As long as their survival problems are solved, the dividends of population increase will be reflected, and the Eighth Route Army's troop source problem has been fundamentally solved.
The tens of thousands of vacancies transferred from the expeditionary force have been filled, and the number of militiamen has increased by more than half;
In order to reduce the burden on the base area, the military region adopted the strategy of hiding troops from the people. The number of the main force remained unchanged, and a large number of local troops and militia were added to train and produce in peacetime, assist the main force in wartime operations, and expand the main force when needed. , just make the local troops the main force.
Liuzhen Military Factory opened a branch factory in Quyuan City, Zhongtiao Mountain to meet the needs of the two military divisions, Langtou Mountain and Panwang Mountain;
The Liuzhen Military Factory is mainly responsible for ensuring the needs of other Eighth Route Army, focusing on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which has the heaviest anti-blockade operations.
With the help of the new Mulan cannon and Wei Shen cannon, Okamura Neji's three-light policy in the North China Plain did not have the expected effect. Instead, he suffered heavy losses in the raids on the base areas. The entire regiment and the entire brigade of being annihilated;
With the 130mm 8-barreled rocket launcher, the Eighth Route Army's ability to fight annihilation wars has been qualitatively improved.
In the past, the Japs only had to dispatch a regiment or even a brigade, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army could only be transferred and the base areas would be ravaged by the Japs. Under the Sanguang policy, even if the soldiers and civilians in the base areas won the counter-mopping up, they would suffer heavy losses and the vast countryside would become ruins.
It's different now. Each military division in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei is equipped with a Wei Shen artillery battalion, a Wei Yixiao artillery regiment, and a large number of Mulan rocket launchers;
When the Japanese come to a brigade or even a regiment, military divisions dare to fight their annihilation campaign. If the base area cannot be entered, there will only be a few people left;
If the Japs concentrated on a division-level raid, they would have to carry a lot of baggage, and it would take a long time from preparation to start, which would give the base area a lot of time to respond.
The common people can be evacuated, leaving local troops to use tunnel warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare and other tactics to fight guerrillas against the Japanese;
The main force will either jump to the outer lines and attack the Japanese logistics points, county towns, etc., or else it will concentrate its forces to attack the Japanese supply lines.
Tens of thousands of Japs troops entered the base area and wanted nothing to eat or drink. They had to sneak away in despair within a week at most, and they would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way back. Don't even think about withdrawing without peeling off a layer of skin.
Chu Xiong unknowingly changed the combat mode on the battlefield behind enemy lines. The improvement of weapons and equipment gave the main force of the Eighth Route Army the ability to fight mobile warfare against the Japanese;
The situation between the enemy and ourselves on the North China Plain has undergone fundamental changes. With the more than 200,000 men of the North China Front, people as powerful as Neji Okamura cannot do whatever they want. They can only huddle in cities and along railway lines. The vast rural areas and mountainous areas have become The base area of the Eighth Route Army.
It is completely different from another time and space. The Eighth Route Army and base areas in this time and space did not suffer heavy losses due to Okamura Neji's Sanko policy. Instead, they developed a lot, and the common people suffered at least several million fewer casualties.
The main force of the Eighth Route Army has grown to more than 700,000 people, which does not include the tens of thousands of elites that Chu Xiong took away.
Yanzhou began to gain confidence in speaking. Yingjiang even set up a formal liaison office in Yanzhou. Black Bear Country began to extend an olive branch, and for the first time supported the equipment of two divisions of the Eighth Route Army, even on the issue of Mobei independence. No longer strong, if you have strength, you have the right to speak!
Mandalay, Chu Xiong gave everyone the answer:
“The Black Bear Country is now in a difficult position to protect itself. Although they won the battle to defend Moscow at the beginning of the year, they lost more than hundreds of thousands of troops and the capital was beaten to pieces;
Now Hans Cat's million-strong army is besieging Tsaritsyn, the largest industrial city, which is Josephgrad. The two sides have invested millions of troops. The Battle of Songhu is a younger brother in front of them.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Black Bear lost at least one army every day in Josephgrad. Such a huge consumption is what the fighting nation can sustain;
What are they most afraid of at this time? "
Sun Fumin replied without thinking:
"The Japanese Kwantung Army goes north to attack the Far East!"
Zhong Guoliang said in disbelief:
"No way, the Japanese have just opened up the battlefield in the south and are going north again, unless the emperor has a headache!"
Chu Xiong rolled his eyes and said:
"Has he done less work when his head is cramping? The problem in China has not been solved yet and he is going to provoke Yingjiang again. Who can guarantee that he will not have a seizure one day and bite a black bear?
Joseph doesn't dare to bet. It doesn't matter if he wins the bet. If he loses the bet, the country may be destroyed. How dare you bet? "
Zhong Guoliang thought for a while and agreed. If he were Joseph, he would never dare to bet that a mad dog would not bite him.
Sun Fumin took the words and said:
"So now the Black Bear is asking for help from China, hoping that China can hold back the Japs. The most effective way is to launch a big counterattack in North China so that Okamura Neiji can't handle it, and mobilize the Kwantung Army to enter the pass, so that the Japs will be unable to go north. ;
What a plan!
I heard that your Yanzhou branch is a branch of Black Bear. This time they are supporting two divisions of your Eighth Route Army. Are you really going to launch a counterattack in North China? "
Sun Fumin's unflattering words made Huang An very unhappy, and he directly countered:
"The Black Bear Country is a holy land of revolution. If conditions permit, we should provide some support to the Black Bear Country. This is also the bond between brothers. You can't just sit back and watch the Black Bear Country's demise."
Huang An studied abroad in Moscow and has a natural affinity for black bears. There are many like him in Yanzhou.
Chu Xiong glanced at Huang An, as if he could imagine that Yanzhou was facing pressure from the internal Black Bear faction;
The current development situation of the Eighth Route Army is much better than that of another time and space. It does have the ability to launch local counterattacks in North China, but the losses will be huge, and it will attract the attention of the Japanese to draw chestnuts from the fire for others. It is not worth the loss. No wonder Sun Fumin has been Looking at Chu Xiong, he wanted to know the attitude of Yanzhou's senior officials.
Chu Xiong immediately said to Huang An:
"Comrade Huang An, you must remember one sentence: the proletarian movement has no borders, but the proletariat has national borders!
You are a CPC, not a CCP!
National interests are above all else. Launching a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese in North China at this stage is not in the interests of the Chinese people. The consequence will be to use the blood of millions or even millions of Chinese people to draw chestnuts from the fire for other countries. Do you want to see it? so? "
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he stared at Huang An with a pair of tiger eyes. This was also a torture of his soul.
Huang An looked back at Chu Xiong magnanimously, and then said:
"I am naturally a CPC. I admit that I have a fondness for black bears. It is my second hometown. If I can, I am willing to carry a rifle to fight for black bears, but I will never sacrifice the blood of Chinese people to protect black bears. gun;
China is also suffering now, so I can only fight for China until death! "
Chu Xiong withdrew his knife-like gaze, then turned to Sun Fumin and said:
"Our CPC belongs to the Chinese people, and its existence is to serve the Chinese people. Regarding this matter, I will send electricity to Yanzhou to express the position of our independent army. We are firmly opposed to launching a counterattack in North China at this time. Now It is far from the time for strategic counterattack;
Even if it is a strategic counterattack, the expeditionary force should be the first to launch it, and the country should follow up after making great progress. In this way, China will have to pay the least sacrifice and get what China deserves! "
Sun Fumin asked Chu Xiong again:
"What's your bottom line?"
Chu Xiong replied:
"Begonia remains the same!"
Sun Fumin suppressed his inner excitement and continued to ask:
"Where's the target?"
Chu Xiong said domineeringly:
"Put the battle flag of my expeditionary army all over the place!"
Sun Fumin waved his fist and said loudly:
"Done!"
"What is a comrade? A like-minded person!"
The corners of Chu Xiong's mouth raised his iconic arc again...
