When Chen Qiang went to send a telegram, Xiao Siming asked: "Have Qingyun City and Wudi City been taken?" ”

The reason why he asked like this was because Xiao Siming was surprised to see that Wang Lushui and the others were still in Leling City!

Wang Lushui said no, mainly because the 31st Detachment only occupied Leling City, and the work in all districts of the county had not yet been carried out. After the troops arrived at Leling, they slowed down in consideration of the spirit of establishing a consolidated base area on the Jilu border with Leling as the center at the Ningjin-Tianjin Joint Conference, and also in consideration of the fact that the troops were too tired after a long march. In the past few days, we have mainly concentrated our efforts on mobilizing the masses in the villages around Leling City to prepare for the construction of a school for military and political cadres in the Hebei-Shandong Border, a teaching team, and a new corps. However, the thirty-first team has already connected with the underground party in Qingyun City, and they are ready to respond. Now the thirty-first detachment has set off, and early tomorrow morning, he will set off with the first battalion, the third battalion, the artillery battalion, and the heavy machine gun battalion, and launch an attack the night after tomorrow!

As soon as Xiao Siming heard this, he said no, the composition of the 31st team is complex, and there has not been a whole training, and there may be changes at any time. Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu can't leave the thirty-first team!

In history, Wang Zhaoming, deputy commander of the 31st detachment, refused to accept the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army when the troops were reorganized, and he brought 300 guns to act alone. Wang Zhaoming himself ran to Liu Jingliang and was later killed by Liu Jingliang's troops.

Wang Zhaoming is a member of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, and the 31st Detachment is the number of the Einsatzgruppen that Wang Zhaoming went to Wuhan to find Kang Ze, and Wang Zhaoming will definitely not agree to the reorganization of the 31st Detachment of our army. Now that the advance brigade has arrived at the Jilu border and conquered Qingyun, Wudi, and Yanshan, the 31st detachment will be reorganized immediately, and Wang Zhaoming may pull the team away at any time!

Let Xiao Siming say this, Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu, who knew their own affairs, couldn't sit still, and immediately reported that they had to set off immediately!

Xiao Siming nodded, and explained to Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu: "You two go first, I will also set off immediately, and lead the main force to arrive later!" ”

After Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu left, Xiao Siming criticized Wang Lushui's slow action, saying that when our army first arrived at the Jilu border, the Japanese puppet army was temporarily kept in the dark, and other miscellaneous armed forces were also kept in the dark. In the past few days, the Japanese puppet army may have heard the rumors, and other miscellaneous armed forces have also heard the rumors, and it will be difficult for our army to easily and quickly reorganize the miscellaneous armed forces.

Wang Lushui explained with a wry smile: "It's not that we are slow, but when we first arrived in the Jilu border, we were not familiar with anything, just looking for a place for the arsenal, a warehouse for logistics, a place for the military and political school, the teaching team, and the recruit corps, all of which were busy and dizzy. But these things must be done right away, in secret! The first battalion, the third battalion, the artillery battalion, the heavy machine gun battalion, the engineer battalion, and the baggage battalion were all not fully staffed, and they could not spare troops, so they had to be relieved for a while. ”

This is all the truth, Xiao Siming has nothing to say, so he has to ask if the location of the arsenal is confirmed?

Wang Lushui said that this place on the border of Jilu looks like a flat river, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and it is very beautiful. But from a military point of view, it is really not a good place to defend. When I arrived here, I knew why the national * army was defeated for thousands of miles when the northern section of Jinpu Road and the northern section of Pinghan Road were fighting, and there was no danger to defend! This great plain is suitable for the movement of the Japanese mechanized corps, and the two legs of the infantry cannot outrun the wheels of the Japanese army's cars and tanks in any case.

This is said very objectively, the Great Plains is indeed no danger to defend!

Wang Lushui went on to say that accompanied by Ma Zhenhua, he was about to run all over Leling City on horseback, and he couldn't find a suitable place to build an arsenal. Because it is not suitable anywhere, when the little devil touches it, it is too late to disassemble the equipment of the arsenal, not to mention that the factory building that does not need to be built may be burned down by the devil, so there is no need to think about it. Knowing this, I should have handed over all these equipment to the headquarters and left it in Taihang Mountain, which is much stronger than this place.

That's where the point of view is different. For the people who farm, the Great Plains are thousands of miles of fertile fields, and what they grow is incomparable to the best on Taihang Mountain! But for Wang Lushui, who commanded the troops to fight, this great plain was useless, and it was a broken place!

Xiao Siming laughed when he heard it.

Wang Lushui said that from the looks of it, he felt that this arsenal could build a few more branches and separate production, and it could not build a factory building, so it had to be considered to facilitate transfer. Therefore, for the time being, the arsenal was first set up in the Confucian Temple in the county seat, and there were ready-made houses, yards, workshops, warehouses, and dormitories. After taking Qingyun, Wudi, and Yanshan, we will carefully consider the location of the arsenal.

As for the school for anti-Japanese military and political cadres in the Jilu Border, Wang Lushui said that it is located in the Leling Middle School and will soon be able to open classes.

Xiao Siming asked a question: "Political commissar, the arsenal, the warehouse of the logistics department, and the military and political school are all located in the county seat, what if the Japanese planes come to bomb it?" ”

Wang Lushui replied that this was only temporary, and that we had to find a way as soon as possible, and that in addition to the anti-Japanese military and political schools on the Jilu border that could be set up in the city, the arsenals and warehouses had to be relocated and relocated as soon as possible.

Xiao Siming was very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, but in a hurry, Wang Lushui was able to do this, and he had done his best. There is no way, the Great Plains is like this, there is not even a cave, let alone find an address suitable for running an arsenal under the cover of the mountains.

Huo Cheng saw that Xiao Siming's face was uncertain, so he hurriedly proposed: "Captain, think about it, whether to directly integrate the current recruits of the new battalion into each battalion and train while participating in the battle, after all, they already have a certain foundation." The advantage of this is that the main battalions can be quickly fully strengthened, and new regiments can also be freed up to re-recruit and train new recruits, and the speed of army expansion will be accelerated. ”

On the one hand, the main battalions are not fully staffed, and the number of troops that can be used for combat is seriously insufficient, and on the other hand, the new battalion has more than 2,000 recruits, no wonder Huo Cheng would make such a suggestion! When the advance brigade went down to Taihang, the total strength was 2,270 people, of which 1,400 increased by 800 after the reorganization of several routes in the Xingxi area, and the total strength reached 3,000 people. After the elimination of Liu Motou's gang, 500 recruits were recruited on the spot, and nearly 300 people were reorganized at Liu Motou, and the scale of the army had reached 3,800 and almost 4,000 at this time.

Such a force can withstand the scale of the strength of the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army when it went north to resist the war. It's just that so far, the main force of the advance brigade for operations is still the eight or nine hundred men of the independent battalion, and the newly formed fourth, fifth, and sixth battalions add up to 800 people, but they are all integrated and routed, and although short-term rectification training has been carried out, they have all cooperated with the actions of the first, second, and third battalions for the time being. From Shouyang, Tiankou Town

The recruited recruits and the defeated soldiers at the head of Liu Mo who were reorganized were all organized in each recruit company for training.

Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun also looked at Xiao Siming with blank eyes.

Xiao Siming didn't think about it, and said directly: "No! These recruits, all of whom are innocent peasant children, are the foundation for our unit to continue to develop and grow in the future, and they must complete their training as required. Otherwise, it would be a pity that the recruits would go to the battlefield and the little devil's marksmanship would be so good, and if he hooked his horn, it would be a life. Bear with us, and when the recruits finish their training, we will immediately break up and reorganize all six battalions, the cadres will not move, and the fighters will be regrouped. In this way, the composition of our troops will be balanced, and we will no longer have to worry about desertion or even rebellion! ”

It seemed that they were afraid that Wang Lushui would not understand their hard work, Xiao Siming added: "If the foundation is not firm, the earth will shake!" ”

They are all cadres from the Red Army, and Wang Lushui and they understood it as soon as they heard it.

Xiao Siming then said: "The training of recruits cannot be done with showmanship, and there is no quick fix, and the training subjects must be completed to a high standard, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops." Why can the little devil fight so well? It is because their recruits have to train for 11 months, and they have already formed combat effectiveness before they leave the recruit camp, and they are veterans when they are pulled into the battlefield. No matter how anxious we are, we can't cut corners in recruit training, it's a matter of human life! ”

After thinking about it, Xiao Siming said: "It's really not good, so the 300 defeated soldiers at the head of the reorganized Liu Mo will be organized into the first, second, and third battalions, with 100 people in each battalion." ”

Huo Cheng smiled and said, "Where are there still 300 people?" Those are all veterans, and they are all the fragrant bread that the battalions compete for. The first cavalry battalion picked men from the various units, and these people were picked up in a batch. Immediately afterwards, the artillery battalion went to pick people, and they did not have enough manpower, so they picked another batch. Now it is estimated that only 200 people remain. ”

Xiao Siming said that the 200 people should be strengthened to the first and second battalions first, and the first and second battalions would each form a company.

When he said this, Xiao Siming said that everyone should not worry about the slow expansion of the troops, because the Hebei and Shandong borders have a population of 6 million and sufficient soldiers, so it is no problem to organize a few brigades here. At present, in addition to seizing the county towns of Qingyun, Wudi, and Yanshan, it is still the original policy of developing more local armed forces. When the local armed forces have been drawn up and the training of the first batch of recruits of the new corps has been completed, the local armed forces can be transferred to the new corps for retraining. After several rounds of training, the current six battalions are no longer organized into three regiments, even if they are organized into six regiments.

After the matter was finished, Xiao Siming discussed with Wang Lushui, asked him to stay in Leling, supervise all work, and let Hu Qingyun go with him to capture Qingyun and Wudi, and said that after seizing Qingyun and Wudi, leave the 31st team to mobilize the masses and form a political power and armed forces in Qingyun, and Hu Qingyun led the third and sixth battalions to form a political power and armed forces in Wudi. Then he led the 1st Battalion, 5th Battalion, Artillery Battalion, Heavy Machine Gun Battalion, and Cavalry Battalion back to the division to capture Yanshan, and when Yanshan was occupied, let Huo Cheng go to Yanshan to form a regime and arm. In this way, the headquarters in Leling, plus Huanghua in Ningjin, and the four troops in the four surrounding counties have been immersed in development for two months, and the political power and armed forces have been established, and the foundation for the economic strategy of Hebei and Lubian has been initially laid.
