It was not easy to get through Liang Jianbin 's ideological work, and the big stone in Zhong Sheng's heart fell to the ground. If the Falcon Special Operations Team really intends to rely on its own strength to fight under the siege of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, it will be a fantasy.www.biquge.info

The rest of the matter is to consider how to join the operational sequence of the Fifth Theater quietly and logically, and moreover, when the Shandong Sub-Bureau formulated this plan, it still had a bottom line -- although the combat area of the Falcon Special Operations Team is not fixed, it must have its own independent rear base so that it can develop and strengthen its own strength. Without a base, it is equivalent to a rootless wanderer, and it is not practical to go anywhere.

After arriving at the temporary station of the Falcon Squad, Zhong Sheng first praised Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin for their ability to choose a hiding place, after all, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains, there are dangers to defend, and there is a way to retreat behind it, which is really the best place to defend the army. Immediately after that, he euphemistically put forward several points of his own opinions: First, there are few people around, and it is really a bit inadequate to develop the power of the masses. Mass work, as the name suggests, at least must have the object of the work, right? We must not allow political work cadres to travel dozens of miles to carry out their work against the common people. In that case, it is estimated that the enemy will not be needed to exterminate it, and the fatigue will be enough to exhaust the dead; The second point is that because this is a barren land, in this case, the entire squad will have to rely entirely on a small amount of capture and self-sufficiency in supplies, weapons and ammunition. Now it's just a squad, the consumption is not very large, and if you tighten your belt, you can still get by. However, according to the intention of the superiors and the future development trend, the Falcon will definitely face expansion, it is a squad now, and it will be a squadron or even a brigade in the future. If you want to count on self-sufficiency and seizure, it will not be enough. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, do you still expect everyone to go hungry and fight the devils?

In fact, on the way here, Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin were thinking about this matter. Originally, the Falcon team's first choice of foothold was Shangshuiling Village, but now it has been burned to the ground by devils, and the plan has failed. The two of them took the captured map of the Japanese army and stared at it for a long time, and they felt that it was very good everywhere, but they both felt that something seemed to be missing.

After looking at the map and studying it for a long time, he pointed to a place and said to Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin who were so worried: "I think this place is very good." ”

Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin looked at the place where he pointed at Baisha Village, an inconspicuous little place.

After the two of them looked at it carefully for a while, they looked at the bell blankly, and Jiang Shan said, "This place, Lao Liang and I have also studied it just now. But it was vetoed at the first time. It was too close to the Japanese stronghold of Takajo. That place was an important supply depot for the Japanese army, and the garrisoned Japanese army had a squadron and a battalion of puppet troops. In addition, it is too close to the highway from Shandong to Henan, and once we are surrounded by Japanese troops, a large number of reinforcements can arrive by car in a short time. I really can't see what's good about this place. ”

The bell smiled incomprehensibly, pointed his finger to another point, and said, "Have you two taken a look at what kind of place this is?" ”

"What place? Gaobeidian! Jiang Shan asked inexplicably. He really couldn't understand why Zhong Sheng would be so interested in this small mountain village with only 100 households and more than 300 villagers.

"If I'm not mistaken, the combat area of the Second Guerrilla Army of the Fifth Theater is mainly in this area, right?" The bell suddenly asked without a head.

"Yes, that's right. Most of the area of operations of the 2nd Guerrilla Army was in this vicinity. I have a relationship with their commander, Zhu Fakui. This person can be regarded as a patriotic general who sincerely resists Japan. Without waiting for Jiang Shan to answer, Liang Jianbin on the side said next.

Zhong Sheng simply spread the map on the ground, squatted down and analyzed it carefully: "You see, although Gaobeidian is a small place, its geographical location is very important. To the east of it is the stronghold of Takajo, which was the territory of the Japanese army. To the west, there is the defense zone of the Fifth War Zone, which is still under the control of the national army. Gaobeidian is located right on the choke point between the two, and this place is the only way for anyone on both sides of China and Japan to go further. Especially for the Fifth War Zone, this is a top priority. Once the Japanese army completely occupies Gaobeidian, it can use this place as a springboard to drive straight into the hinterland of the Fifth Theater Defense Zone! ”

Jiang Shan was even more puzzled, frowning and asking: "In such an important place, why did Li Zongren only arrange a miscellaneous army of the miscellaneous army to defend?" Is this obviously unreasonable? ”

Zhong Sheng smiled and said, "Do you think Li Zongren doesn't want to hold this place in his hands?" It's just that he really can't do it. The troops belonging to the Fifth Theater are all miscellaneous armies, and it is difficult to find an elite army! I bet this place is Li Zongren's henchman! Every day he has to worry that this place will change hands and fall into the hands of the Japanese army! ”

"Since the defense force of the national army is so weak, why didn't the Japanese army take Gaobeidian in one go?" Liang Jianbin couldn't figure it out, and asked the bottom of the bell like a curious baby with Jiangshan.

"It's simple, balanced!" The bell replied loudly. "The Japanese army is now stretching too long on the front line, and its strength is already insufficient. In addition, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan did not take advantage of the big advantage, and the 'three months to destroy China' that they shouted at the beginning of the war has become a joke, and their sharp spirit has also been frustrated, and they do not have such a big appetite to completely eat Li Zongren's troops in a short period of time. The Japanese army should now be accumulating strength, waiting for the right moment, and launching a major campaign. It is expected that he will complete his work in one battle, completely eliminate Li Zongren, and completely sweep away the battlefield in North China. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Shan finally heard a little eyebrows, and he asked Zhong Sheng tentatively: "You mean, let's go and stand guard for Li Zongren?" ”

Zhong Sheng was amused by Jiang Shan's thoughts, and then nodded again and said, "You are not wrong in saying this. Let's choose the vicinity of Gaocheng is to put a nail in the middle of Gaocheng and Gaobeidian. It is not only to help the Fifth War Zone take care of the gate, but also a fuse. ”

"Why is that?" Jiangshan has a posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"It's very simple, help the Fifth War Zone to look at the gate, because after all, we are all Chinese, and the overall situation of the War of Resistance does not allow us to lose North China; It is said that it is the fuse, because the position we occupy is too sensitive, and in a short period of time, neither side wants to have a large-scale conflict here, after all, once the gun is misfired, it is not easy to control the scale. Li Zongren's Fifth Theater did not have enough strength to confront the Japanese army, and the Japanese army did not want to provoke a full-scale counterattack by the Chinese army at this time, delaying their entire strategic layout, so maintaining balance was a situation that was beneficial to both sides. ”
