[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 425: Going South to Envision (Asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass, asking for everything!) ）

Although the plan to do business in the United States appears to be just a fund-raising operation, ostensibly with little military involvement, a closer analysis does not look like this.

Since the ultimate goal is to transport supplies from the United States to China, there must be a safe port of landing. Although it is impossible for the Japanese to intercept American ships on the high seas, as long as they are close to the coast of China, then the Japanese will definitely not watch a large amount of material fall into the hands of this person, so there must be a port in this plan, and a port in the hands of the Chinese.

However, as we all know, the coastal areas are under the control of the Japanese, and almost all the natural harbors are within the control of the Japanese.

After hearing the chairman's question, Ma Zheng said: "Chairman, I am very confident in penicillin, once the drug is successfully marketed, then it will not be a matter of raising funds and purchasing supplies, but we still lack a port where we can enter and exit freely." ”

"Ports? Now that all the ports are under the control of the Japanese, are you going to send troops to fight a port down? The chairman asked, surprised.

"Not really, and not necessarily. Now there are cities in China's famous ports, such as Dalian, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Qingdao, Lianyungang, etc., these places are all places where the Japanese army gathers heavy troops, once we take action, the Japanese will inevitably judge our intentions, which is not good. Ma Zheng said.

"And what do you mean?"

"I mean, although we can't attack the port city where the Japanese are heavily garrisoned, we must station a sizable number of troops near the coast, on the one hand, to fight the forces of the Japanese along the coast, and at the same time to be ready to meet the American ships!" Ma Zheng said.

"What a welcome method, if there is no port, American ships will not be able to dock!" The Chairman said.

"Chairman, China's coastline is so long, are there only a few port cities where ships can be berthed? Obviously not, theoretically as long as the geographical conditions are not particularly bad, we can stop the ship, as long as we control one of the coastlines, there is always a way to get the supplies brought back by the United States to the shore, the big deal is that we use small boats to pick up, but in any case, we always have people in the coastal areas! Ma Zheng said immediately.

The chairman nodded, feeling that what Ma Zheng said made sense, and at this time he also had a more intuitive understanding of Ma Zheng's plan. He originally thought that Ma Zheng would directly send troops to attack a port city, and then send troops to garrison it for a long time, but he was obviously wrong. Ma Zheng didn't have that plan at all, his plan was to control a section of coastline casually, and take it when a ship came, and the usual task was to fight against Japan and fight devils.

Such an idea was undoubtedly more suitable for the Eighth Route Army than a long-term stationing in a seaport, and it was also more hidden, and if the secrecy was done well, even American cargo ships would not meet with the Japanese.

"What are you going to do?" The chairman asked in a deep voice.

"I've looked at the map carefully, and now there are two places suitable for receiving American cargo ships, one is the Jiaodong area of Shandong, and the other is the eastern Hebei region." Ma Zheng said.

"Jiaodong and Jidong, that is, Qinhuangdao and Qingdao, have a long coastline, and can indeed be used as ports for cargo ships to berth. It's just that these two places are places where the Japanese army gathers heavily, and it is not easy to gain a foothold there, especially in Shandong. The chairman said.

"It's not a big problem on the eastern part of Hebei, now that we have reached Rehe, the main force has been connected with the fourth column of the Eighth Route Army, and I will send a small force to the eastern Hebei region in the next step, and strive to gain a firm foothold near Qinhuangdao. With the cooperation of the fourth column, there is a great possibility of success. As for Shandong, then you have to sum it up! Ma Zheng said.

"Since there is no problem in the eastern Hebei region, why not pick up the cargo ship in the eastern Hebei region, why go to Shandong?" The Chair asked again.

"Eastern Hebei is an important passage connecting North China and Northeast China, and it is vital to the life and death of the Japanese, so once the Japanese come back, the first thing to solve is the eastern Hebei issue. At that time, even the two major groups of the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army and the North China Front, will be dispatched, so the pressure is very great. I can't tell when the war will break out, so we can't put all our eggs in one basket, so we all have to have people in Jidong and Jiaodong. Ma Zheng replied.

"Well, you are very thoughtful, in fact, the central government still has a lot of opinions about your department's stationing of heavy troops in Chengde, and I want to find a time to talk to you about it. Anyone can see that the little devil regards the Northeast region as his backyard, and no one wants to get involved. Although your unit was lucky enough to defeat the Japanese puppet army in Renan, it also stabbed the hornet's nest, and the Kwantung Army will inevitably counterattack, so the meaning of the central government is to try not to fight hard with the Kwantung Army. Listening to what you kid just said, it seems that you also know something about this! The chairman said.

"Naturally, we have understood, the Japanese will fight back, we have long expected it, if the Japanese do not move, then it is called abnormal! Therefore, in the development strategy of our military region, the entire eastern region, including Rena, is not the focus of development, and since the troops occupied Rehe, they have been mobilizing the common people to move westward, and now more than 100,000 ordinary people have migrated to the territory of Xinghe and Shangdu, and our idea is to empty all the Renan area, even if the Japanese capture it in the future, it doesn't matter, what they get is just an empty city. Ma Zheng said.

"It's a good idea, and we can rest assured that you know us. As for the port, you can do it, but before that, make a plan and then report it to Yan'an. The chairman said.

"In fact, the plan has already been formulated, and I plan to transfer a relatively independent force from the military region to Shandong, on the one hand, it is of course to control the coastline, and at the same time, I hope to gain a firm foothold in Shandong and turn Shandong into another Suicha Military Region." Ma Zheng said.

"How many people are you going to send, and who is leading the team?" The Chair asked.

"At most one brigade, or even one regiment, as for the commander who leads the team, it is either Yun Jian or Huang Bingyan, or myself!" Ma Zheng said.

"You can't do it, you can't do without you here, do you think about who can take over such a big stall in the Suicha Military Region? Besides, the situation in Shandong is now as dangerous as an egg, the little devil's sweep some time ago not only hit us hard, but even the Sulu theater of the Nationalist Government was bruised and swollen, and the main force has withdrawn into the mountains, and you have only a few thousand people going south, and you may not be swallowed by the little devils. The chairman said with a frown.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "Chairman, this world can be changed without anyone, although the Suicha Military Region was established by me, it does not mean that no one can replace me, if it can't be replaced, then it will become a small kingdom?" I dare to guarantee that the Suicha Military Region can still operate normally even if I am not there, and the little devils can still beat them when they come, crying dad and calling mother! ”

"As for the situation in Shandong, I am not even more worried, now the main force of the Japanese 12th Army is in Henan and southern Anhui, and the poor number of troops in Shandong is the best opportunity for our army to go south. Besides, there were less than a hundred people when we first arrived here, and now we are still afraid of being eaten by little devils when we go south with a few thousand people? ”

The chairman still said firmly: "It's okay to go south, but as for whether you need to personally lead the team, you have to reconsider, you are no longer the same as you were a few years ago, not only our Eighth Route Army can't afford to lose you, a lucky general, but the entire Chinese nation can't afford it either." ”

Then the chairman asked: "After talking so much, I forgot to ask you, did you tell Comrade Li Lanqing about this matter?" ”

"Yes, last night!" Ma Zheng replied.

"What about her opinion, whether she agrees to go to the United States or not?" The Chair asked again.

"At first, I didn't agree, and I was crying with rain, and I was very sad. Later, I persuaded me to agree, and now I am handing over the work at hand. Ma Zheng said.

"And when are you going to send her away?"

"I'll send a team over to the front station first, and then I'll send her over after Tekko gets her new identity right, and it's best to control it within half a month!" Ma Zheng said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, your sacrifice of the country and the people will remember!" The Chairman said
