It was already late at night, but the lights in Yue Weihan's room were still on.
Yue Weihan is indeed not asleep yet. He is formulating the policies and policies for the anti-Japanese base area in Jingxing Mountain District!
Establishing a solid anti-Japanese base area is a huge project. It is not just a matter of stationing troops there. If Yue Weihan really wants to do this, when the Japanese army ends its frontal offensive and turns around to sweep the occupied areas, the New Sixth Army will definitely be defeated by the Japanese army.
The heavily armed group was beaten to pieces, and then they could only move around to fight guerrillas.
Yue Weihan was not willing to follow the Eighth Route Army's routine, so he had to find another way!
In order to run the anti-Japanese base area in the Jingxing Mountain area with impregnable strength, we must first have solid military facilities!
There are eight peaks in the Taihang Mountains. The so-called Eight Peaks actually refer to the eight east-west canyons that cross the Taihang Mountains.
Yue Weihan's idea was to build a fortress at each end of the Jingxing Grand Canyon. The main fulcrums of these two fortresses were a large number of bunker fortifications and a huge network of tunnels connected to them. They would also cut off the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway and the Shitai-Taiwan Highway, and
Build a large number of anti-tank trenches on the roadbed to ensure that Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery and other heavy equipment cannot enter the mountainous area!
As long as the Japanese army's heavy equipment cannot enter the mountainous area, even if the Japanese army mobilizes fifty divisions, it will only waste food. The reason is simple. The exits at the east and west ends of the Jingxing Grand Canyon are only so wide, and deploying an infantry regiment is already the limit.
Okay, what's the use of sending more troops? Isn't it just a matter of just staring from behind?
After all, the Japanese army during World War II was not good at mountain warfare, let alone formed a specialized mountain division. The so-called mountain warfare expert Norihide Abe in history was a complete joke. He did not do much in the Taihang Mountains with a mixed brigade.
When the battle began, the Eighth Route Army took care of it. This shows the level of the Japanese army in mountain warfare.
Therefore, the New Sixth Army is fully capable of guarding the fortresses at both ends of the Jingxing Grand Canyon.
As long as the arsenals, steel plants, power plants, gunpowder factories, cotton mills and other factories in the Jingxing Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area can be opened, the New Sixth Army will be able to keep up with the Japanese troops who come to sweep them away. The fortresses at both ends of the Jingxing Grand Canyon will become the Japanese army's
The meat grinder, in the end, the only one who couldn't bear it was the Japanese army!
Of course, the base area cannot be defended with just two fortresses.
Because the Japanese army cannot attack by force, it will definitely turn into a massacre.
The Jingxing Mountain Area is rich in strategic resources, including coal, iron ore, timber, etc., but it lacks the most important strategic resource, which is food! The Jingxing Grand Canyon has more mountains and less arable land, and also has more dry land and less water land, so the food output is very low.
It is not high in the first place, and it is already barely enough to support the original population of Jingxing County. Add to that the New Sixth Army's more than 60,000 troops stationed there, and it is absolutely impossible.
There are only two ways to solve the food shortage problem in Jingxing Mountain Area, one is smuggling, and the other is self-help through production.
When the Baoshan Division moved to southern Shandong, Yue Weihan had already established a good relationship with Chi Dianwen, the leader of the Shandong Youth Gang. With Chi Dianwen secretly taking care of him, it was absolutely no problem to smuggle some grain into the base area. However, this precious communication line did not
It is not used to smuggle food, but to smuggle military pay, medicines, chemical raw materials and other scarce supplies.
Therefore, if we want to solve the problem of feeding more than 60,000 officers and soldiers, we have to rely on production to help ourselves.
Labor is not a problem. The more than 10,000 Japanese prisoners of war are the livestock of the Communist Party. In the future, more Japanese and puppet prisoners will enter the Jingxing Mountain Prisoner of War Concentration Camp. The problem is that there are not so many productive water, water and dry land in the Jingxing Mountain District.
Although there is only one word difference, the output is completely different!
If most of the dry land in Jingxing Mountain District can be transformed into paddy fields, the problem will be solved!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Yue Weihan's mind. By the way, it was to modify the irrigation canals!
"It's done!" Yue Weihan was so excited that he slapped the map with his palm and said overjoyed, "Now there is a way!"
Just as he finished speaking, Chu Zhongtian suddenly opened the door and walked in. He stood at attention and reported: "Military seat, *** Yang *** from the Jinan Prefectural Committee, there is also a guy who claims to be the commander of the Eighth Route Army Jinan Military Region who wants to see him.
You, oh yes, that guy looks so much like you, I almost recognized the wrong person just now, hehe."
"Yang ***?" Yue Weihan said in shock, "Commander of the Southern Hebei Military Region?"
Yue Weihan actually knew that Yue Weiguo, the commander of the Eighth Route Army's Southern Hebei Military Region, was his fourth brother, but he never had the time or opportunity to meet him. He was quite looking forward to this "fourth brother" Yue Weihan. The reason was very simple.
With the recommendation of "Brother", it will obviously be much easier to join the Chinese Communist Party.
Chu Zhongtian nodded and asked: "Military seat, see you or not?"
"Yes, of course we will see you." Yue Weihan said without hesitation, "Please invite them in quickly."
Chu Zhongtian took the order and left. Within a moment, he led Yang Shaocheng and a young man who looked almost exactly like Yue Weihan into the living room.
Before Yue Weihan could come forward, the young man had already strode forward and slapped Yue Weihan's arms with both hands. Tears were already filling his piercing tiger eyes. At this moment, Yue Weihan felt in his heart
He was also moved. Although he was not the real Yue Weihan, he could clearly feel the excitement of "fourth brother".
"Little brother!" Yue Weiguo shook Yue Weihan's arms vigorously and sighed, "I didn't expect it was really you!"
"Brother!" Yue Weihan said naturally, "I've been gone for so many years and I almost miss me!"
"You kid!" Yue Weiguo punched Yue Weihan's right shoulder hard again and said with a smile, "In eight years, he went from being a playboy with no skills and bullying men to a brave and capable commander of thousands of armies.
The lieutenant general is now here." After saying this, Yue Weiguo said again, "By the way, father, is he in good health?"
"My father is in good health." Yue Weihan said, "I just saw him during the Battle of Xuzhou. He can eat, drink, and defecate. It will definitely not be a problem for him to live for another thirty years."
"You kid." Yue Weiguo laughed and scolded, "How could you say that about your father?"
Yue Weihan smiled slightly and greeted Yang Shaocheng again: "Yang ***, are you here too?"
Yang Shaocheng then stepped forward to shake hands with Yue Weihan and said with a smile: "We originally planned to go to Shahe County to see you, but when we arrived in Shahe, we found out that you had actually returned to Shimen with your troops. It was already this time when we hurriedly caught up with you.
, Weiguo has to go back early tomorrow morning, so we can only visit late at night. Brother Weihan, no one will gossip, right?"
"Gossip?" Yue Weihan said calmly, "Who can control other people's mouths if they like to talk?"
Yue Weihan's words obviously meant something, and Yang Shaocheng couldn't help but look at each other with Yue Weiguo, his eyes filled with joy.
Yue Weiguo chatted with Yue Weihan for a few words, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother, you led the troops to fight all the way from Baoshan County, but you really killed a lot of Japanese. My mother has loved you the most since she was a child. If she is an old man,
I will definitely be happy to know that you have made such a great contribution to the country and the nation."
"Alas." Yue Weihan sighed, shook his head and said, "The situation is like this, how can we make any contribution?"
Yang Shaocheng lost no time and asked immediately: "Brother Uyghur and Han, have you ever thought about why the situation of the national war of resistance has evolved into what it is now?"
"Of course I have thought about it," Yue Weihan said, "China has a thoroughly corrupt government, and a large group of high-ranking generals who only know how to scheming and fighting, but don't know how to command and deploy troops. There is also a commander who is not good at all, but he likes to go to the front line and leapfrog his rank.
Commander, if we can win the three major battles of Songhu, Xuzhou and Wuhan, then it will be called a ghost!"
"Do you think..." Yang Shaocheng asked again, "*** can't save China?"
"Of course." Yue Weihan said without hesitation, "The Communist Party is the spokesperson of international comprador capital. They are servile to the core. Moreover, the National Government has never been a real central government. Over the years, the National Government has never issued any decrees.
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how can such a political party and such a government save China?"
"Brother, what do you think of our ***?" Yue Weiguo asked eagerly.
"What?" Yue Weihan smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is no problem."
