"In half a month, the devil is probably training, although I don't know the specific time of dispatch, but we have to arrange it as soon as possible. Yang Tianfeng said: "When the meeting is held, remind everyone that after the meeting, orders will be given to all troops, increase vigilance, and increase the mutual identification marks and passwords of friendly forces.www.biquge.info In addition, the security forces, joint defense teams, and important institutions in the base areas have been notified that the security forces should also be strengthened. There are also some improvement measures, which require more attention from the chief of staff. ”

"Okay, I will carefully study and discuss with the staff officers, try our best to improve the preventive measures, and ask the guerrilla troops and intelligence officers operating in the enemy-occupied areas to pay attention to this special unit." Liang Moqing nodded vigorously.

"I think we can release a smokescreen first to paralyze the enemy and make them misjudge that our army will not make a big move in the near future." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said his thoughts.

There is always a gap between the imagination and the reality, of course, Yang Tianfeng wants to have more peaceful days and more buffer time for development and growth, but when the situation is forced and the development reaches a bottleneck, there will be obstacles in front of him. Therefore, we can't passively wait for the devil to make a move, and we must take various measures to weaken the devil's power.

Besieging the city for reinforcements, an ancient and effective tactic, was once again selected by Yang Tianfeng and Liang Moqing. For the Japanese troops who are sticking to various key points, only by mobilizing them can we eliminate them on the premise of avoiding attrition in attacking fortifications. And the stubbornness and intransigence of the Japanese devils make their defenses formidable.

Throw yourself into the dead, silently dedicate yourself to service, and move forward with all your heart to win. Quench the liver and gallbladder and cultivate the belief of victory...... This kind of arrogant and persistent writing after being brainwashed is often seen in the diaries of Japanese devils.

Moreover, the Japanese have a tradition of suicide, and the soldiers are always willing to die for the bullshit emperor in order to have their own pillar of incense in the shrine and be honored by their descendants, coupled with Shinto beliefs.

Pitiful and terrifying, Yang Tianfeng secretly clenched his fists, he must take military action first, and not give the devil time to arrange carefully. Now it seems that the situation is favorable, but there are also hidden dangers, once the devils are assembled and prepared, once the devils' special forces start to act, although they are not particularly afraid, there is always a suspicion of passively coping.

…………

Sometimes, suffering pins on greatness, and sacrifice becomes glory. Especially on the battlefield, knowing what to fight for and for whom, resentment is transformed into the courage to see death as home.

When a person is at the mercy of fate, he will be confused, confused, frightened, and weak. And as soon as he holds the throat of fate, he is the victor, and he has self-confidence and will. And the heroic anti-Japanese forces, including the New Seventh Army, gave the common people this opportunity to control their own destiny, and they were no longer lambs slaughtered by the Japanese devils.

On 16 October, the guerrillas under the New Seventh Army began a tentative offensive and carried out raids on some lines of communication. The main forces also launched an operation to uproot the small strongholds built by the Japanese army relying on railways and roads.

In the first few days, the Japanese did not realize that there was a huge counterattack hidden behind, and believed that it was a harassing attack that was more common in guerrilla tactics, so they did not take targeted and comprehensive military action, but only ordered the local troops to send troops to counterattack, and continued to intensify preparations for a sweep.

At this time, the deployment of the Japanese army was not yet completed.

In order to solve the contradiction that Xuzhou was located at the junction of four provinces and that its military, political, and economic management was unclear, the Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army Command ordered the transfer of the Suhuai area, which was originally part of the 12th Army's operational area, to the 13th Army.

That is, the boundary of the operational area between the North China Front Army and the 13th Army is defined as the boundary between Shandong and Henan provinces and Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. At the same time, the 17th Division, as well as the army hospital in Xuzhou, were placed under the command of the commander of the 13th Army; The gendarmerie stationed near Xuzhou was placed under the command of the commander of the Central China Military Police, and in addition, the special services of northern Jiangsu and Haizhou were assigned to the 17th Division.

The Japanese army thought that the battle would be clear after such a division, but Yang Tianfeng did not think so. In the Henan-Anhui border region, Henan belongs to the North China Front; Jiangsu and Anhui are the theaters of the 13th Army. Wouldn't this be facing a flanking attack by two major Japanese groups?

Of course, this is unlikely, at least not for now. On the whole, the Japanese army was not united, and the contradictions between the navy and the army were the most acute, and the Kwantung Army, the North China Dispatch Army, the Central China Dispatch Army, and the South China Dispatch Army also had their own barriers and clear boundaries, and there were few examples of coordinated operations.

Moreover, the Japanese army in North China has not yet shown signs of attacking the Henan-Anhui border area, and if it does, it may also point to western Henan. The Eighth Route Army also stubbornly resisted in North China, so that Tada Jun could not draw enough troops for the time being. The 13th Army, on the other hand, is the opponent that is currently going to counterattack, especially the 17th Division stationed in Xuzhou, which has lost Tanaka's infantry regiment, which is exactly the enemy of the enemy.

The target of the counterattack has been chosen, and the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements or deceitful defeat and ambush has been basically determined, but in the face of the cunning Miyamoto, he still has to plan carefully and design a clever trap.

Comparatively speaking, the Japanese army attached more importance to the New Seventh Army and lightened the Eighth Route Army, and a brigade that was dissatisfied with the formation dared to go deep into the base area to sweep away.

Therefore, Yang Tianfeng hit the idea on this and immediately communicated with the Eighth Route Army.

…………

As the sun set in the west, the light that leaked through the gaps in the clouds changed color and shone on a small village.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was located here, and Commander Huang KC and Political Commissar Cui TM were discussing the coordinated combat plan proposed by Yang Tianfeng in the house.

"The activities of the devils in Xiao County have been very frequent in the past month or so, and it seems that the New Seventh Army has also felt the pressure and must strike first."

Huang KC nodded and said, "At the same time, this also has the intention of disrupting the devil's winter sweep. Yang Tianfeng saw far away and thought deeply! ”

"The commander's opinion-" Cui Tianmin stopped talking, pondered for a while, and said: "Judging from the analysis of intelligence from all sides, Yang Tianfeng does not seem to have any intention of going north to fight for territory with us. ”

"That's what I judge." Huang Kecheng nodded and said: "Yang Tianfeng is taking the path of steady development, and what he needs most is time. Therefore, he will not make too many enemies, but will ensure the safety of the Yongcheng base area by supporting the anti-Japanese forces. Moreover, the eastern Henan Plain is in hand, which provides him with a good base and conditions for development and growth. ”

"That's true." Cui Tianmin agreed, "In a short period of time, more than 30,000 people have been armed to a level that is not inferior to the devils, and the potential is amazing." Judging from the inside information, the treatment of the New Seventh Army and the living standards of the people in the base areas are very stable. This was not easy in the years of war. ”

Huang KC smiled bitterly and said: "In military and economic terms, Yang Tianfeng is a good hand; Politically, I don't know what to do. Of course, this does not prevent us from learning from his methods and experiences, such as military training, tactical play, and economic development. As for the manufacture of weapons-"

Looking at Huang KC and shaking his head gently, Cui Tianmin also smiled bitterly and expressed helplessness, "It's too difficult, even if Yang Tianfeng is willing to give us the drawings, with our equipment and technical strength, it will be difficult to make them." Moreover, we are too poor, and it is very difficult to buy and exchange. ”

"I have to do my best!" Huang KC sighed lightly and said, "As for this coordinated operation, my opinion is to welcome and cooperate closely. After all, the construction of the Longhai Railway by the devils of Xiao County also posed a threat to the Luxi base area. ”

Cui Tianmin agreed, but he still had doubts, and said: "Do you want to ask the headquarters for instructions, and then reply to Yang Tianfeng?" ”

Huang KC pondered for a moment and said, "While asking for instructions, while preparing." Don't wait for the instructions to arrive, we're delaying again. ”

"I think I can take the opportunity to ask Yang Tianfeng for some weapons and ammunition." Cui Tianmin hesitated, but he didn't dare to be too sure, "However, does this feel like not giving money and not contributing?" ”

"That's true." Huang KC laughed and said, "It's better to focus on the overall situation, and don't talk about the conditions first." According to Yang Tianfeng's style of acting, if the battle is won, there will always be something to say. ”

Cui Tianmin smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The price of an infantry artillery shell is more than a farmer's income in a year, we really can't afford it!" ”

"Judging from the intelligence of the insider, this is still a cost price!" Huang KC shrugged his shoulders and said, "It can be seen that Yang Tianfeng is still relatively generous. In particular, in this coordinated operation, he promised that he could exchange cartridge casings for ammunition in the future, which would solve a big problem. ”

"I know that, too." Cui Tianmin frowned thoughtfully, "But how did Yang Tianfeng do it?" ”

……………

Napoleon once said that the three most important factors in fighting a war: the first is money, the second is money, and the third is money. Although you can't win a war if you don't have money, you can't even fight a war without money.

Indeed, the military is a money-burning industry. Without money, the army will not be able to attract talent, research equipment, or organize training. Without money, soldiers have no food, no clothes, no guns...... If there is nothing, how can there be a war?

And money does not refer only to money, but to include food, clothing, weapons, ammunition and other comprehensive aspects. At least in the Yongcheng base area, in addition to real money and silver, the depreciating banknotes are not very popular with the common people.

The real war between China and Japan continues, and the currency war without gunpowder is also going on. In order to resist the flood of counterfeit fiat currency, the government has adopted a number of measures, one of which is the circulation of fiat currency in war zones. The explanation is that the fiat currency stamped with the seal of the war zone can only be circulated in this one war zone, and a war zone bank was established for this purpose.

I'm afraid this can only play a temporary role, Yang Tianfeng is not optimistic about this, except to imitate the base of the Eighth Route Army, and issue another currency, he has no better way. But he was in the government system, and it was impossible to do so. (To be continued.) )
