A team needs to know its highest strategic purpose, and Xu Zilin brought this strategic purpose back after returning from a meeting between the brigade headquarters and the headquarters.

"In January this year, our 3rd, 8th, and 6th brigades were reorganized into divisional mobile units, and all regiments under their jurisdiction, including our new third regiment, still used local guerrilla warfare as the main strategic means to continue to hold on to the Japanese army.

Old Xu, it seems that we have to stay in this little cow village for a while. ”

Han Feng said: "What does the brigade commander mean, did he give any orders?" ”

Xu Zilin said: "Now the brigade headquarters is also waiting for the order of the division headquarters at any time, for our regiments, the brigade headquarters ordered, let us wait and see what happens, of course, guerrilla warfare must continue, and major actions should not be carried out for the time being." ”

Han Feng asked, "What is a big move?" ”

Xu Zilin said: "This ...... The specific standard brigade commander did not say anything...... Old Han, you don't really want to make a big move, do you? ”

Han Feng said: "Since the beginning of winter this year, the little devils have swept countless times in North China, and it is said that this area of Xiaoniu Village has come three times.

The lives of the common people are too hard, there are bandits, puppet armies, Japanese troops, and even fruit troops everywhere, some of these people are scattered in the enemy-occupied areas of the devils, some are scattered in the quasi-enemy war zone, and some are outside the enemy war zone.

It's ridiculous to say, although Bai in the enemy-occupied area has lived a hard life, he can still survive.

The people in the quasi-enemy war zone are bitter, devils, puppet soldiers, and even fruit troops, everyone wants to search from time to time, not to mention whether the stomach can be filled, as soon as winter comes, the cold snap will come overnight, and the next day, you only need to go to the streets and alleys to see, the frozen corpses can not be filled with sacks, and the proportion of children is very high.

As for the people outside the enemy-occupied areas, it is even more miserable, bandits are rampant, the Japanese puppet army is rampant, and the Japanese army has swept again and again this year, if a village is not protected by any army, it is good to survive 1/10 of the people.

If we continue to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests and engage in small-scale battles with the Japanese army, not only will it have little effect on the people, but it will further provoke the anger of the Japanese army, and when the little devils vent this anger on the heads of the people, their lives will be even more miserable.

So I don't want to wait, since the brigade commander did not give a specific standard for what a big operation is, then the scale is in my own hands. ”

Xu Zilin was taken aback, "Old Han, you can't come nonsense, now the whole of China is not to mention, the whole of North China is full of Japanese troops sweeping."

The suffering of the people is something that cannot be changed for the time being, and how much can you save? ”

Han Feng smiled: "Old Xu, have you ever seen the sea?" ”

Xu Zilin froze, "No." ”

"Have you ever seen a fish stranded on the beach by the sea?"

"Nope."

"Then let me tell you, the fish in the last stagnant water on the beach by the sea are the people, and the entire beach may be several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers long, so many fish, that is, so many people, just with me Han Feng, only with my new three regiments, of course I can't save it.

But because you can't save it, don't you save any of them?

I just want to do my part, as much as I can save, we will not move for the time being in the enemy-occupied areas and quasi-enemy-occupied areas, but the people outside the enemy's war zone, we must wait for them to be rebuilt in our base areas.

If you can shelter them from the wind and rain for a day, you will be sheltered from the wind and rain for a day! At least the bandits and the Japanese puppet army don't want to bully our people so casually. ”

Xu Zilin looked at Han Feng's resolute expression, shook all over, and after a while, she deeply agreed: "Okay, old Han, you can do it, I fully support you, as for the brigade headquarters and headquarters, I will communicate with the leaders." ”

"That couldn't be better."

"But what are you going to do?"

Han Feng said with a smile: "The specific method, at the military meeting of the regiment headquarters tomorrow, I will explain it in detail with the big guys."

As for now, I'll give you a rough idea first, you see here. ”

Han Feng spread a map flat on the wooden table, and after Xu Zilin looked over, he pointed to the area of Taiyue Mountain and said: "The Taiyue Mountain area, in the south-central part of the Sanjin Dynasty, south of Taiyue, is not far from us.

This area has abundant water and lush forests, and when spring and summer come completely, this area is very suitable for people to live in.

I think that just south of this Taiyue is .asxs., and the whole group will be gathered in batches.

Then it will be thoroughly developed into our anti-Japanese revolutionary base.

Starting from Linfen County, it gradually entered the surrounding ten counties such as Fushan, Yicheng, Jiangxian, Qinshui, Quwo, Yishi, Xiangqu and Hongdong, connecting the area south of Taiyue.

When the time comes, we can accept all the refugees within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles, so that the people can vigorously develop the economy in a relatively stable environment, so that the people can save their lives and we also have a mass base. ”

Xu Zilin was frightened by Han Feng's bold idea, and she said worriedly: "This ...... It's a big move. ”

Han Feng said with a smile: "Then it depends on how your political commissar Xu reports, since we are fighting guerrilla warfare, and there is no regulation on where and in what area, all the fighters of my new third regiment have developed to the area south of Taiyuan, and all the small base areas opened up by the victory of guerrilla battles in various places have become the base areas south of Taiyue, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"But we only have these troops, is it enough?"

Han Feng said in a deep voice: "Lao Xu, let me make a bet with you, after our team is assembled this time, it may be nearly 12,000 people, but after we open up the base area south of Taiyue, this number may increase by five times or even dozens of times."

In these days, if there is a little way to live, who wants to risk being beheaded to make a revolution?

But there are too many people who have no way to live, and in the final analysis, this is one of the important reasons why our Eighth Route Army has been able to grow rapidly to this point. ”

Xu Zilin was thoughtful, and after a while, she said to Han Feng with some amazement: "Old Han, sometimes I think I am already familiar with you, but soon I will find out that I don't know anything about you.

Okay, who made Lao Xu Lao Han's political commissar!

I'm your right-hand man, not an obstacle to you.

Just let it go! ”

"With this political commissar, what do you want from the regiment commander?"

Poof—

"Old Han, how can you use it like this? Obviously, there is a husband like this, what more can a husband ask for. ”

"Ahem, you said it yourself."

Xu Zilin's face turned slightly red, and she quickly changed the topic and said, "When are you going to act?" ”

"It's as little as three or five days, or as much as half a month! It takes time for the team to assemble, and we need to prepare for the departure. ”

Xu Zilin said: "That's good, I am in a hurry to come back today and there is another matter, you may have to wait for me for a few more days." ”

"What's the matter?"

"In these few battles, I don't know what happened to our seriously injured wounded, I have to personally visit them in the military hospital, and if I can rejoin the battle, I will bring them back."

Han Feng was puzzled: "Isn't it okay for you to send someone to this kind of thing?" ”

Xu Zilin looked around, there was no one, and said in a low voice: "You stupid, I went to thank Tian Yu for a special trip." ”

Han Feng: ......

Looking at the back of Xu Zilin, who had eaten lunch, hurriedly heading towards the military hospital, Han Feng had a headache, why did things become like this?
