5,683 people, 4,657 guns of various kinds, 72 grenade launchers, 12 grenadiers (captured), 16 81 and 82 mortars, and 2 infantry guns (successfully repaired after capture)......

Yang Tianfeng was not in Mangshan Town at this time, but in Yongcheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 With the increase of the territory, it is no longer suitable for the INFO headquarters to stay in Mangshan Town, and Yongcheng is the central location of the base area, and it is more convenient to communicate. He was looking through the papers, and although he had been in telegraph contact with various places during his absence, it was far from so detailed.

The expansion of the army was relatively smooth, and it also included the names of more than 1,000 soldiers who trained in Voryang. In fact, if you want to calculate it in this way, the expansion speed of the three verticals is still quite conservative. You must know that in the anti-Japanese armed forces at that time, they had not been able to get rid of the traditional concept of having too many generals and a large number of people, and even the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were no exception, and they were desperately expanding.

Such a rapidly expanding army inevitably brings many sequelae: first, the soldiers are uneven, the army discipline will become lax, and the cohesion will be insufficient; The second is the lack of weapons, many armies have more than half of them holding broadswords, pikes, or two grenades, and their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly; The last point is to increase the pressure on the supply of food and wages, even if there is no military salary, what about food, there are too many people who are out of production, how much land and how many people need to be supported?

The most important condition for whether or not the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression behind enemy lines can be sustained for a long time is whether the residents in the base areas can support their soldiers and whether they can maintain their enthusiasm for resisting Japan. If the people's strength is quickly depleted, and if the common people are passively burdened and break away from the anti-Japanese ranks, then it will not help whether other policies are correct or not......

Yang Tianfeng felt the need to write out the principle of "living within one's means" and publish it in Guangming Daily, which had been properly linked and regularly contributed, as a serialization of "Learning War in the War," or to start a new topic. But this does not seem to be very urgent, and the most difficult time of the war of resistance behind enemy lines is still early!

"Sir-" Liang Moqing, the new chief of staff of the column, handed over another document and said, "This is the distribution and placement of officers in various departments. ”

Liang Moqingyuan was the chief of staff of the 61st Regiment, a taciturn person, but when he occasionally spoke, he could see that he had something in his stomach. After Yang Tianfeng was optimistic, he was stunned to dig Liang Moqing over with ten steel fists and ten grenade launchers.

You can't blame Zhou Zhizhong for valuing profit over friends, but when the report went up, Sun Tongxuan immediately agreed. Not only Liang Moqing, Sun Tongxuan also learned military command, but also in the name of support, sent a group of veterans and low-level officers to enrich the Third Column, and rewarded them with the military exploits of recovering the county seat, and gave the Third Column a batch of materials.

are all stuffing people and stretching out their hands to the three verticals, and Yang Tianfeng is the one who comes. First, there is no way, his army started from the People's League, not the regular army, there are too few officers who have studied military academies, and too few experienced veterans; Secondly, Yang Tianfeng believes that as long as they are not spies, the soldiers are still relatively simple, and they are motivated by the national righteousness, so there should be no problem in fighting a war.

In addition, Yang Tianfeng also formulated detailed rules and regulations and discipline regulations for the army, hoping to use them to restrain officers and soldiers. According to his thinking in later generations, the rule of man is not as sound as the rule of law, and it is easy to have problems. As long as it is fair and just, he still believes that most people, no matter what faction they are, will eventually integrate into the Three Verticals and work hard to save the country in the War of Resistance.

"I'll keep this document, and in the future, I'll make a similar list, and I won't mark where I came from." Yang Tianfeng looked at it briefly, nodded, and said to Liang Moqing: "The three verticals have just taken shape, and I don't want any factions. Even if there were, I don't want to affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Discipline must be strict, and rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds must also be fair; this is the key to maintaining the unity of officers and men. ”

"I see." Liang Moqing pondered for a moment and said: "Regarding the direction of the development of our army, the commander has not given a clear reply to the suggestions of his subordinates, and the deployment and arrangement of the troops have not been determined. ”

Yang Tianfeng bowed his head lightly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "The situation in eastern Henan is very complicated, there are not only the cavalry brigades of devils, but also various anti-Japanese forces, Zhang Lanfeng, a big traitor, has also become the climate, and it seems difficult to advance eastward. To the west, it's Xiao County......"

During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, excluding those traitors who openly defected to the enemy or secretly sought glory, there were more than one million puppet troops alone, almost the same amount as the Japanese army invading China. In this huge group of people who help and abuse, Zhang Lanfeng is definitely a jaw-dropping "character".

As the largest puppet army leader in eastern Henan, he not only openly treasoned against the enemy, but also "cared" for the Kuomintang people in Chongqing, and at the same time avoided clashes with the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Kuomintang army as much as possible.

In September 1938, Zhang Lanfeng took refuge in the Japanese and set up the headquarters of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army in Shangqiu, "Henan East Zhaofu Embassy Office". By January 1939, a total of more than 18,000 people had been assembled, and they were organized as the "Henan-Anhui Suppression *****", and Zhang concurrently served as the army commander.

Yang Tianfeng despised and disgusted Zhang Lanfeng, and did not regard him as a great enemy, but he was also surprised by the expansion speed of his recruitment. But with this puppet army of more than 18,000 people, it was a great help to the Japanese Fourth Cavalry Brigade stationed in Shangqiu Zhuji.

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not good, but it is still possible to defend the city and station. This invisibly liberated the hands and feet of the Fourth Brigade, coupled with the mobility of the cavalry, Yang Tianfeng was deeply afraid.

Although the road-breaking had a great curb on the mobility of the Japanese devils, that was the mechanized troops. Cavalry, it doesn't seem to have much impact. Because there are also certain specifications for breaking roads, it is necessary for ordinary people to be able to walk, and even to be able to drive narrow distance cars.

As for Xiao County in the west, because of the relatively independent armed forces of the Miyayama Brigade, it is not easy for Yang Tianfeng to enter brazenly. After all, the Miyayama Brigade was still very friendly, and it also performed well in the counter-sweep, delaying the time of the enemy in Xiao County, so that the Third Column and the 61st Regiment could concentrate their forces and join forces to win. After winning, Yang Tianfeng also asked people to send some guns and ammunition to show his gratitude!

To the north, it will cross the Longhai Railway and enter the Huxi area, which is not only far away and difficult to supply, but also the situation there is more complicated.

"My idea is to go to the southeast and pretend to take Suixi (now Huaibei City), or at least turn this place into a guerrilla zone-" Yang Tianfeng pointed to the map and said his reasons, "This place is empty, there are only four or five hundred puppet soldiers and more than a dozen Japanese advisers, or they can go down in a battle." If it continues eastward, it can threaten the ...... of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway" (to be continued. )
