"How to fix it?" Wang Hong directly showed a skeptical expression of disbelief!

looked at Li Hao and analyzed: "Regiment Commander, I admit that you are very good at fighting, but engaging in food is not a war, and the food we need is not a little bit!" ”

"The people of the three counties add up to nearly 300,000 people, even if we have nearly 400,000 people who lack food before the autumn harvest, of course, the actual number must be more than this!"

"Now that there are five months left before the autumn harvest, I will calculate according to the minimum standard, 100 days without food!"

"In order to ensure that the people do not starve to death, and have the physical strength to carry out spring ploughing, autumn harvest, and serve the crops, half a catty of grain per person per day is the least!"

"100,000 people in 100 days, at least 5 million catties of grain must be eaten!"

"And that's just the common people!"

"After completely taking the three counties, we need to establish base areas, form local troops, and guerrilla forces!"

"The local cadres, local troops, and main forces of a county must add up to more than two thousand people, and these people also have to eat!"

"In particular, the combat units that are completely out of production, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, they must also be fed!"

"The three counties add up to 6,000 people, and each person needs at least one pound of grain per day according to the minimum standard of one pound of grain, and it will take at least one million catties of grain to last until the autumn harvest for five months!"

"The sum of the two is six million catties of grain, minus the one million catties we transferred from Lingqiu, and the two million catties captured by the troops in the local area, there is still a shortage of three million catties!"

"I can't think of any other way than to use the grain we hoarded last autumn!"

Li Hao was noncommittal: "So much grain, close to our base to digest it by ourselves, it will definitely not be solved!" ”

"But someone can help us with this!"

"Who!" Wang Hong immediately asked!

If the three counties have just established a base area, and the common people starve to death, it will definitely be a slap in the face for the garrison regiment!

The people's hearts and minds that the troops have built up with great difficulty at a huge price will also suffer a huge blow!

As a political commissar, the person directly responsible for the establishment of the base area, no one is more anxious than him!

"Little devil!" Li Hao replied!

"The grain in the occupied area has been robbed by the little devils, not to mention three million catties of grain, even if it is thirty million catties, they can take it out!"

"Since we don't have food in our hands, let's ask the little devil to let this food be taken from the people and used by the people!"

Wang Hongmeng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, stared at Li Hao and reminded!

"Commander, don't mess around!"

"The base area has finally ushered in a period of peace, allowing the people to breathe and recuperate, and this peace must not be broken!"

"Also, spring ploughing is about to start in the base area, and if something happens now, the enemy and us will fight and spread the war to the base area, which will definitely affect spring ploughing!"

"If spring plowing is not done well, there will be problems in the autumn harvest, the common people will be short of food in the coming year, the troops will be hungry, and the development of the base areas will be affected in the next year!"

"And the troops, who have just experienced a big battle, are not only suffering heavy losses, but also very tired!"

"The total strength of many troops is now less than 30% of the pre-war level, and the best situation has more than half of the casualties, how to fight!"

"I think they need more recuperation than ordinary people!"

"Not to mention anything else, it will take at least a month just to recruit new recruits and replenish all the main forces!"

Seeing that the political commissar was getting more and more anxious, and he was afraid that he would make some impulsive decision, Li Hao hurriedly opened his mouth and comforted: "Don't worry, political commissar, I'm not confused!" ”

"The importance of spring ploughing to our base area, I know it if you don't say it!"

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first!"

"Without food, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the troops is, no matter how well they do their political and ideological work, they will eventually collapse!"

"I just said that I don't have food to ask the little devil for it, but not now!"

"The two million catties of grain seized plus the one million catties transferred from Lingqiu will have no problem holding up for two to three months!"

"So even if you act, it's three months later!"

"Now our top priority is to build base areas, recruit new recruits to supplement the main force, form local troops, and organize the common people to do a good job of spring ploughing!"

"The most important thing in this is to recruit new soldiers, replenish the main force to the fullest, and then start training as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness!"

"The army is where the confidence of our base is, without the protection of a strong army, no matter how well our base is built, it is also a wedding dress for the little devil!"

"Since we have taken Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan, and decided to build them into a base area, then we must defend them, and we must not be snatched back by the little devils!"

Wang Hong nodded in affirmation: "I also agree to list recruitment as the first priority in our base area in the future!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Li Hao made a decision very decisively!

Then he shifted his gaze to the map and analyzed it very seriously!

"Political commissar, I'll say what I think first, and then you can check and fill in the gaps, and if there is no problem, you will directly send it to the troops!"

"After the first battalion took Hunyuan, we became neighbors with the Jin Sui army in Datong, and the little devils in Hunyuan City became a lone army!"

"My idea is that a battalion of soldiers is divided into two routes, and a part of the troops will remain vigilant against the Jin Sui army in the direction of Datong to ensure that they do not cross the line!"

"But one thing to remember clearly, the Jin Sui Army is not a devil, nor is it a puppet army, they are our friendly army!"

"As neighbors with them, we must adhere to the principle: we do not take the initiative to provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of things, no matter what we do, we must be justified!"

Seeing Wang Hong nodding in approval, Li Hao continued to analyze!

"The rest of the battalion is deployed around Hunyuan City, and I will be staring at the little devils inside!"

"If the Japanese puppet army goes out of the city, resolutely fight back!"

"However, without the order of the regimental headquarters, they must not take the initiative to attack Hunyuan City, even if they have absolute superiority in strength and firepower in the future!"

"Hunyuan City must be like a nail, stuck between us and the Jin Sui Army!"

Wang Hong reacted quickly, and immediately saw Li Hao's careful thoughts!

Then he sighed with admiration: "Commander, your move is too high, as long as the little devil in Hunyuan City exists for a day, in the eyes of Jin Suijun, Hunyuan is still in the hands of the Japanese army!" ”

"When they enter Laiyuan, it means that they take the initiative to attack the devils, which violates their strategic policy of giving priority to defense and supplementing offense!"

"Therefore, as long as the Japanese army in Hunyuan City is not killed by us, the Jin Sui army will not fight Hunyuan's idea, and we can avoid friction with them because of turf fighting and destroying the united front!"

Li Hao nodded affirmatively: "That's what it means!" ”

"Even if the Japanese army wants to give up the isolated city of Hunyuan in the future, we will force them back and not let them give up!"

"So the first battalion does not face many enemies, but the form is definitely the most complex in several counties, and the task is not light at all!"

"In order to ensure the security of the base area, the troops must be expanded on a large scale: the main force of the first battalion will be expanded with a cavalry company, the guard platoon will be expanded into a guard company, the grenadiers will be allocated to the fire squad, the mortars will be assigned to the fire platoon, and the artillery company directly under the company must be equipped with two direct-fire guns, three heavy mortars, and six flying thunder guns!"

"In addition, another garrison brigade will be formed, with a total strength of five hundred!"

"Larger towns should also form district squadrons, each squadron has a hundred people!"

"Considering the bearing capacity of the common people in each county, the total strength of the county brigade and district squadron cannot exceed a thousand people!"

"The main forces, local troops, and all the missing sources of troops are recruited and solved by themselves in their own defense areas!"

"In addition, in addition to ensuring the full strength of the main force and local troops, the first battalion must also support the three hundred recruits of the regimental headquarters!"

"The second battalion is stationed west of Guangling, and it is specifically responsible for defending the little devils there!"

"The Japanese puppet army below the size of the squadron must be eliminated before they enter the base area!"

"The Japanese puppet army above the size of the squadron and below the size of the brigade can let them enter the base area and destroy them with the sports warfare and guerrilla warfare that we are good at, but we must not let them enter Guangling City and increase the strength of the Guangling defenders!"

"The Japanese puppet army above the size of the brigade and the size of the brigade, the regimental headquarters will deploy them in a unified manner to eliminate them!"

"They are also going to be expanded, the same size as a battalion!"

"In addition, another county brigade will be formed, and the total strength of the local troops will not exceed 1,000 people!"

"The source of the missing soldiers is directly recruited to the west of Guangling, and they don't need to send new recruits to the regimental headquarters!"

"The third battalion is stationed north of Laiyuan, defending against the devils there, and the task is the same as the second battalion, protecting the base area!"

"The scale of the main force and the scale of the local troops are also the same as the second battalion, recruiting troops by themselves in Laiyuan North!"

Wang Hong nodded in agreement at first, but soon his brows were wrinkled!

Pointing to Guangling City and Laiyuan City on the map, he asked!

"What about these two places!"

"There are more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in Laiyuan City!"

"According to the report of the chief of staff, the remaining Japanese puppet army in Guangling City is about the same!"

"There must be troops watching, otherwise it will definitely threaten the backs of the two or three battalions, and let them suffer from the enemy!"

"Give it to the special battalion and the independent battalion!" Li Hao made a decision without thinking about it!

"The independent battalion is staring at Guangling City, and the special battalion is staring at Laiyuan City!"

"Not only do they have to stare the little devils in the two places to death, but they also have to find a way to kill them for me little by little, add up to a lot, completely take down Guangling and Laiyuan, and connect the base areas!"

"The independent battalion recruits troops east of Guangling, and in addition to ensuring that it is fully staffed, it must also form a district squadron in each town east of Guangling, and by the way, provide two hundred new recruits to the regiment headquarters!"

"The special battalion is recruiting troops south of Laiyuan, and the mission is the same as that of the independent battalion!"

"The regimental headquarters, the guard battalion, the cavalry battalion, the artillery battalion, and other directly subordinate troops are stationed in Lingqiu!"

"There is one last thing: we have captured a large number of war horses in this operation, and there are nearly 600 horses that have been divided into cavalry companies from various battalions!"

"The cavalry battalion can't be expanded anymore, so I decided to use these horses to form a mobile battalion!"

"Use war horses to increase the speed of the troops' mobility and ensure that the troops can rush to every place in the base area within three hours!"

"Transfer the commander of the recruit battalion, Dong Xulin, to the commander of the mobile battalion, except that there is no recruit company and cavalry company, the other establishments are the same as the main battalion, with a full strength of 600 people!"

"The backbone of the mobile battalion will be used from the original backbone of the recruit battalion, the veterans will be directly transferred from the seriously wounded who have recovered from the night battle hospital, and the recruits will be drawn from the 700 people sent to the regiment headquarters from several battalions, and the extra artillery battalion and guard battalion will be supplemented!"
