Looking at the military map that Yuan Yubo found, the special combat team members in charge of security and vigilance also quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table. In this way, people don't have to leave, they can just sit at the table and discuss things.

Regarding the idea of spinning off the current Yulin industry, when he came to Yan'an, He Zhengdao also discussed it with the person in charge of the border district government. Although the relocation of these factories will affect the tax revenue of the border government to some extent.

However, the government of the border region also knows that the current fiscal revenue of the central government is too small. In contrast, even if the factories are moved away, Yulin will not become too poor. It is even possible to build a new factory.

According to He Zhengdao's suggestion, in the future, Yulin will only retain some small but fine factories. As for enterprises that need a large number of workers, they still relocate to Yan'an. With these large factories, the corresponding market will be opened when there are more people.

At least He Zhengdao hopes that the people of northern Shaanxi can be further transformed from shaving food in the soil to working in factories. In this way, large-scale land reclamation can be further suppressed, and soil erosion will not be too serious.

There are many young people who work in factories, and they can also get in touch with some advanced ideas while working. All in all, He Zhengdao hopes that through this way of factory relocation, more people in northern Shaanxi and the people in the base area will be slowly influenced.

Holding the map spread out, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Chairman, commander-in-chief, judging from the current situation, the little devil occupies Datong and Suiyuan. For these two places, they will definitely adopt a heavy defensive posture.

Judging from the current situation of our army, even if there is an air force brigade in Yulin, you all know it. Our air force brigade can only be used more for the training of flight corps. If you want to really send them to fight the little devils in an air battle, it is impossible in a short time.

So. Once a large-scale conflict breaks out between us and the little devils, their air force will inevitably enter our army's defense area from Shanxi to carry out bombing. In the absence of anti-aircraft weapons. Factories exposed to the ground were bound to become targets for their bombing.

Compared with the current Yulin Arsenal, most of them have been relocated to caves that can resist aerial bombing. Steel mills, if you want to do this, I'm afraid it's not easy. This means that we need to keep the steel mill out of the range of the little devils.

My suggestion is to set up the future steel plant in Baoji, where we are far enough away from North China and Central China. The bombers of the little devils did not dare to carry out such long-distance bombing easily.

As long as the location of our steel plant is kept secret, the transportation of minerals will take place at night in the future. For a short period of time. The little devil wants to find the location of our steel plant, but I am afraid it will not be an easy task.

From the establishment to the production of the factory, a high degree of confidentiality is required. The workers and troops involved in the defense and production of the steel mills must implement the highest level of secrecy. For a short period of time, they are not allowed to have the opportunity to contact outsiders.

The Qinling Mountains in Baoji are the best location. Just find a place with steep terrain to build a factory, and at the same time do a good job of protecting the factory. I believe that it is not easy for the little devils to want to destroy our steel plant.

With qualified steel. In the future, we will be able to imitate anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. As long as there is enough anti-aircraft firepower, in the future, even if the steel plant is known to the little devils, we will be able to severely damage their aircraft formations.

Another point is that it has been explored by our mineral experts. The coal, gold, silver, copper and other minerals in Baoji are very rich. Although there is no iron ore, there is iron ore in Luoyang in Hanzhong, and there are many iron ores in Gansu.

As far as we have discovered iron ore. In fact, it is not far from Baoji, which also provides convenience for the transportation of iron ore in the future. If you can build a steel mill here. I believe that it should be safe in a year or two. ”

After listening to He Zhengdao's narration and analysis, everyone suddenly felt that this idea was still very reasonable. At least you can hear it from the words. He Zhengdao has spent his time pondering this matter. This also shows how much He Zhengdao cares about this matter.

It's just that after looking at the map, Mr. Peng said in a timely manner: "Xiao He, I still agree with your idea." But why, do you only pay attention to the little devil air force in North China? What if they build an airport in Taiyuan or Xinzhou? ”

As a result, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of them repairing, I'll move it once I come!" North China is too far away for me to lead my troops to attack from a distance for the time being. But if they built the airport in Shanxi, I would be grateful! ”

In He Zhengdao's view, in the future, Shanxi will be the area where the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army will have the most confrontation. At least in He Zhengdao's plan, the future of the railway in Shanxi, I am afraid that the little devil will not want to count on it.

repaired and bombed once, and he wanted to see if the little devil repaired it quickly, or if the Eighth Route Army bombed it quickly. He wanted to turn the Shanxi battlefield into the most painful battlefield for the North China Front. It's a pity to throw it away, and it's tasteless to eat.

If the little devil sends heavy troops to defend Shanxi, then with the existing strength of the Eighth Route Army, cooperate with the Jin Sui army that Yan Xishan will retreat to Linfen and other places at that time. So how many troops do you have to send to defend it, little devil?

The Japanese occupation of Shanxi was nothing more than a fancy to Shanxi's natural resources. Then He Zhengdao will let the Japanese army know that if they want to plunder Shanxi's mineral resources, they must give enough lives in exchange.

Raids and raids are the strengths of the Eighth Route Army. During the day, little devils can be rampant, but at night, He Zhengdao hopes to become the world of the Eighth Route Army, so that little devils really know what it means to be sleepless at night.

Originally, I planned to go back to the central station to discuss the plan to seize food, but because of the construction of the steel plant, the result was discussed together. Looking at He Zhengdao's continuous marking of the connection points on the map, everyone was surprised.

If things are really what the righteous path says, then this tiger's mouth plan may not be as difficult as they imagined. Even around this plan, the Eighth Route Army can fight a fierce battle with the little devils in Shanxi.

After talking about his plan, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "In the eyes of others, most of Shanxi is now the territory of little devils. But in my opinion, most of Shanxi occupied by the little devils is actually our territory.

In our own territory, fighting guerrilla warfare and sabotage warfare with little devils is our forte. Unless the little devils are willing to give up the battle plan to continue to go south, otherwise the majority of Shanxi they occupy will be a quagmire of war.

Even when the time is ripe in the future, we can completely use the places they occupy as a place for our troops to train. Pull our reserve troops to the front line in batches to fight the little devils, and temper and beat our troops.

When we have the ability to compress the little devil's troops in Shanxi, that will be the time for us to regain the lost territory. At that time, even if Yan Laoxi wants to take over the recovered place from us, it will at least depend on whether we agree or not.

Anyway, they don't have the ability to regain lost ground, so they just wait to sit back and enjoy the results, right? At least for a short period of time, our army's goal will be to focus on Shanxi and Hebei. As for the independent column, I also hope to jump to Datong, Zhangjiakou and other places.

In this case, even if the little devil wants to encircle and suppress our base in the future, he will need his troops to come over. Without railways and highways, there is a war in this kind of ravine, and our Eighth Route Army should have more advantages, right? ”

Even if these are He Zhengdao's ideas, it is actually reasonable to make such a bold idea based on the number of troops currently owned by the Eighth Route Army. At least after listening to it, everyone felt that the future was promising.

Seeing that the time was not early, even if Chen Geng kept everyone to stay overnight in the guard division, but in the end, Mao Taizu and the others still felt that they would go back to the headquarters to rest. As for He Zhengdao, he also escorted him with a special combat team along the way.

Back to the military recruitment office, because the time was too late, Mao Taizu also said directly: "Right, I'll have a meal at home at noon tomorrow." ”

'Yes, Chairman! ’

For such a private banquet invitation, He Zhengdao is estimated to be the only one. But to others, this seems normal. In a sense, Mao Taizu can also be regarded as He Zhengdao's guardian.

From the beginning of He Zhengdao's master, He Zhengdao was handed over to Mao Taizu as a guard, and this relationship has been established. At present, He Zhengdao has become the most shining emerging general in the Eighth Route Army, and it is natural that he should be particularly favored.

Most importantly, the independent column is currently directly under the dual management of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army. When it was necessary to deploy independent columns, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also needed permission from the central government. Otherwise, there is no way to transfer without authorization.

Of course, when the central government needs to mobilize independent columns, it also needs to explain to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Although there is one more direct leader than the other main divisions, He Zhengdao also understands that this is an honor.

At least for the time being, it will be very difficult for the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to command the guard divisions directly under the central command. This equally powerful force is currently tasked with ensuring the security of the central garrison.

The artillery handed in by the previous independent column is now equipped with a guard division. With those twenty 75-caliber guns, the Guards Division also formed an artillery regiment, equipped with twelve mountain guns and ten field guns.

The two extra mountain cannons were also handed in by the independent column in the previous Battle of Bailingmiao. With such an artillery regiment, the firepower of the guard division is undoubtedly one of the best among the main divisional units.

At least at the moment the main divisions on the Shanxi front do not have such artillery units. As for the 20 artillery pieces brought to Xi'an, the headquarters has also set up an artillery regiment directly under it, which is also stepping up training.

This artillery regiment directly under it will also be put into the battlefield as the offensive support firepower of the Eighth Route Army at an appropriate time in the future. Faced with such a situation, the four main division commanders who learned the news at the front also felt envious.

But it's useless to be envious, there are obviously more monks and less porridge at present. If you want to equip your troops with such artillery units, you can only equip them on the battlefield by capturing them. But it's not easy to do that.

As for the 105 field artillery battalion equipped by the independent column, it is a rare commodity in the Central Army at present. But this is the trophy of the independent column, and the central government and the headquarters are not able to force it to hand it over to the headquarters even if they are greedy, right?
