Chapter 671: Guarding Quzhou

Qin Feng immediately appointed Li Jian as the commander of the new 32nd Army, and the chief of staff was Ye Maolin, and the two also served as the division commander and chief of staff of the new Ninth Division. As for the choice of division commander for the new Eighth Division, it was left to Li Jian to decide.

Because Li Jian was still lying in the hospital ward, he naturally could not attend the military meeting, which was represented by Chief of Staff Ye Maolin.

After this battle, the actual strength of the two armies was less than 80,000, and although they successfully jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, they lost nearly 50,000 officers and men, and the casualties were not insignificant. Among them, the new 10th Army still has more than 48,000 people, while the new 32nd Army still owes 30,000, especially the new 9th Division, which has less than 2,000 people.

In view of the fact that the new 10th Army was still strong and strong, the task of guarding Quzhou was handed over to Liu Jian, and the special operations division temporarily guarded Shangrao in case the enemy attacked the head and tail so that it could be quickly reinforced, and the new 32nd Army set out to guard Yingtan on the same day, because the 200th Division of the defenders of Yingtan had to return to the front line of Shanggaofu to ensure that the logistics channels of several divisions were unimpeded.

In fact, this is also Qin Feng's expedient measure, he has not yet had the habit of taking his fate into the hands of others, but he really does not have extra troops to hold the rear defense line in front of him, so he has to ask Du Yuming, the commander of the Fifth Army, for temporary assistance.

After the military appointments and deployments were issued, the division commanders immediately returned to their units to make separate arrangements, and Li Jian was seriously injured and temporarily stayed in Quzhou for treatment, and the troops were led by Chief of Staff Ye Maolin and immediately left for Yingtan.

Since the entire defense line was penetrated, the logistics and baggage units of the Lishui base, which had been waiting in Fuzhou for a long time, were rolling forward, and by this morning, several hundred vehicles loaded with military supplies and food had driven into Quzhou City, and the follow-up convoys were still flowing.

Qin Feng's means of buying household goods are more ruthless than others, and they are all courageous, but all kinds of vehicles that enter the base to transport equipment and materials are detained by him for various reasons, and the four major consortia have suffered a lot of losses on this, Qin Feng's original reason is still quite unreliable, "This big family has a dowry girl when they marry their daughters, and they have helped them build such a big arsenal, and these hundreds of cars will be used as a dowry", and then he dragged it on, and over time, of course, it was not enough. Of course, in fact, most of them were captured from the enemy by him, such as the various vehicles of the 6th and 9th divisions of the Japanese army.

Of course, in terms of weapons and ammunition, needless to say, the Lishui base can be supplied completely, and as for the grain and grass that supplies tens of thousands of troops, Qin Feng also has a way to borrow it from his father-in-law, Murong Qi, and return it after the allocation from the Military Commission.

As soon as this logistical supply arrived, the morale of the soldiers was suddenly settled, and the mental outlook of the soldiers was completely renewed, and they were all smiling and full of enthusiasm. When they were building temporary fortifications and trenches outside the city, they actually began to sing songs, and they were quite majestic, and after listening carefully, they actually sang songs such as "Serving the Country with Loyalty" and "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" "composed" by Qin Feng, which were probably learned from the special combat team.

As for who is their division commander and army commander, they really don't care very much, what they care about is that the commander doesn't have to play white anymore, and Qin Feng has always paid attention to this, and even the first batch of transport convoys has a car of oceans, all of which is used to pay military salaries. Therefore, the soldiers' recognition of Qin Feng really started from this day.

Not only the soldiers' enthusiasm was enough, but even the officers and even the senior generals were full of spring breeze, and Qin Feng solved the fundamental problems of the troops in a resolute and resolute manner, which verified the strong war potential of his 40th Group Army, and secondly, it also showed that he Qin Feng was not the kind of person who talked about it, and he was bold and energetic in doing things, and it also invisibly strengthened the officer's belief in sticking to Quzhou City.

The troops soon entered a normal state, the precautions that needed to be strengthened in various places have been strengthened, the temporary trenches and fortifications that need to be built have also begun to be built, and even the staff team led by the chief of staff of the division headquarters has begun to intensively carry out on-the-spot surveys and surveys in order to plan how to make rational use of the pillboxes and fortifications on the entire defense line to build them, and how to efficiently form a firepower network and absolutely control the entire defense line.

In the afternoon, Qin Feng drafted a military order and asked Ye Lili to send it to the Military Commission, since they needed this form, Qin Feng didn't mind giving it to them. As for the Military Commission's proposal that the personnel establishment of each division should not exceed 16,000 people, according to the establishment of the B division, Qin Feng simply did not bother to reason with them, and he also knew what they were planning, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would become bigger, and on the other hand, of course, he was saving military spending. I made up my mind to recruit troops directly, after all, there are still three cities in my hands, and it is not a problem to raise tens of thousands of horses with financial revenue. Of course, these are all made for others to see, even if there is no financial income, Qin Feng still has a large amount of gold, not to mention raising tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands is not a problem.

After finishing this business, Qin Fenggang wanted to take Ye Lili into the room to have a good rest, in the past ten days of sleeping in the open air, a lot of "work" has not had a chance to be carried out, as soon as this danger is lifted, of course, he wants to relax and relax. Who knew that Liu Jian hurriedly walked in.

And there was no good thing to report, only that the working groups sent by the regiments in the defense area were basically all gone, and the common people simply avoided it, or they were vague, let alone mobilize them to repair the fortifications, and if it were not for the help of the common people, the time in this hundreds of miles of defense area would still be so short, and it would not have been possible to complete it by soldiers alone.

This is not a small matter, Qin Feng also frowned, in this era of rampant soldiers, the common people have never had a good impression of being a soldier, especially not doing anything that chills them, although Qin Feng's first order to enter the city is not to disturb the people, but in the short term, it is impossible to change the concept of the people.

Qin Feng couldn't think of any good way for a while, in this regard, only the political work cadres of GCD are experienced, plus their mass base is already good, it is more reliable to do this thing, let these soldiers go, it is not bad if they don't scare the people, where can people be willing to contribute?

Although Qin Feng immediately thought of Luo Tingyu, a high-ranking official in Jiangxi, he didn't know where he was now, even if he ordered Liu Lifeng to find him immediately, he probably wouldn't be able to reach Quzhou in the short term, and he still couldn't save the fire from far water.

Qin Feng had no choice but to order Liu Jian to send some more elegant-looking and talkative soldiers to try again, and he also wanted to think of a way, after all, this matter could not be delayed, and if it really didn't work, he could only use the ocean to reward him heavily.
