(PS: Weakly ask, do you still have a monthly pass?) I really want to support the monthly pass! Mosquito this update, it's also very hard! Give it some motivation! Ladies and gentlemen! ）

Zhenyuan, which belongs to Qingyang, Gansu, is located in the east of Gansu and southwest of Qingyang. It is bordered by Qingcheng and Xifeng in the east, Pengyang in Ningxia in the west, Jingchuan and Kongtong in Pingliang City in the south, and Huanxian County in the north, so the strategic location is extremely important.

He Zhengdao, who led the independent column to arrive here, still has some memory of this place. What He Zhengdao remembers most is that the oil resources discovered here in later generations are as high as hundreds of millions of tons.

Although the oil and gas fields here belong to the kind that are more difficult to develop. But for He Zhengdao, if this place can be built into an industrial base of the Red Army, it must be very good. What's more, there are also good coal resources here.

Later, the famous 'Changqing Oilfield' was established in the Qingyang area. If all of this place can be taken, He Zhengdao believes that it will play a pivotal role in the establishment of an industrial base for the Red Army.

It's just that as far as the current situation is concerned, the oil and gas exploitation base in China is almost zero. In order to excavate the treasures on the ground, in addition to the accumulation of technology and talents, it is also necessary to have the strength to protect these treasures.

At least He Zhengdao knew that in history, little devils invaded China and sent a lot of mineral exploration teams. In addition to drawing military maps for the Japanese army, these exploration teams also hoped to discover the oil and gas fields they urgently needed in China.

Keep this in mind and hope to implement it when you have the opportunity to do it in the future. On the night of arriving in Zhenyuan, He Zhengdao and Xiao Jinguang were invited by Mao Taizu again. Together with Zhou Enlai, they had a light meal.

The Central Red Army, which had been plagued by food in Songpan before, was captured after this series of battles. Food is no longer so tight. In order to entertain He Zhengdao's two grains, Mao Taizu added two dishes out of his own pocket.

Compared to ordinary soldiers. For the time being, he is not able to pay military salaries, and the head of the headquarters like Mao Taizu still has a certain amount of living expenses every month. In any case, as the head of the headquarters, it is indeed a bit undesirable to have half a dime in his pocket.

After dinner, Mao Taizu sat in the courtyard, looked at the two henchmen in front of him, and said with a smile: "Enter the light." Righteous way, now we are only one step away from northern Shaanxi. Do you have any thoughts on the formation of a base area? ”

Faced with such an inquiry, Xiao Jinguang looked at He Zhengdao. He Zhengdao, who was usually in the independent column, smiled and motioned for Xiao Jinguang to speak first. After all, in terms of qualifications and positions, Xiao Jinguang is indeed a little higher than He Zhengdao.

Even in today's war years, the rights of military commanders. Actually, it's a little higher than the commissar. But on this occasion, He Zhengdao still needs to maintain a certain amount of respect. No matter what, Xiao Jinguang is also the political commissar of the column!

It's just about this kind of major event that determines the future direction of the army, even if Xiao Jinguang is the political commissar of the column. It's also hard to say much. But he still thought about it for a while and said: "Member Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, I personally feel that Qingyang is a good place."

With the strength we have at the moment. It's a little tougher than when we came out of the Soviet zone. Although there are many warlords in the northwest, the folk customs here are also relatively fierce. It can be just one northern Shaanxi. I'm afraid that I won't be able to feed so many of our troops.

And most importantly, if we all enter northern Shaanxi. The strategic depth is too shallow, which is not conducive to our army's recuperation and defense against the enemy. If you can control this place, it is equivalent to having a forward channel. ”

After saying this idea, Mao Taizu didn't say much, nodded and said, "Zhengdao, you can talk about it too!" You are very grateful for the fact that we were able to get here so smoothly this time. You can talk about my thoughts, both public and private. ”

Affirm his merits first, and then let him talk about his thoughts, which can be regarded as an encouragement and expectation from the elders to the younger generations!

In fact, He Zhengdao, who had already had an idea, said with a smile: "Member Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, you all know that I should be the youngest military commander in the headquarters. But my ambition may be greater than what the commissar said before. ”

With a simple word, Mao Taizu and Zhou Enlai both smiled and said, "Tell me what you think!" ”

'Commissar Mao, can you find a map?' ’

After a while, Mao Taizu's guards quickly found a military map. He Zhengdao took a pen and paper, drew a circle on the map, and said: "I think it is absolutely necessary for us to take these three regions." ”

Looking at the circle drawn by He Zhengdao, Zhou Enlai said with some surprise: "It seems that your ambition is indeed greater than ours." With our current strength, can we control so many places? Will this step be too big? ”

'Vice Chairman Zhou, with our current strength, I feel that it is necessary to have such a large territory in order to be able to feed the most basic food needs of our troops. And these three places are also very helpful in ensuring our safety in northern Shaanxi.

In the Qingyang area, we can arrange a legion to control various places with Qingyang City as the center. Ma Jiajun in Ningxia, if he doesn't want his strength to be damaged, he will inevitably choose to sit on the wall and watch. And fighting in Qingyang, his cavalry also had no chance of winning.

And if we station a corps in Qingyang, it will form a powerful deterrent to Yang Hucheng's troops of the Northwest Army. If we don't solve the army we are stationed here, and he dares to lead his troops to attack northern Shaanxi, we must be careful that we take the opportunity to occupy his Xi'an.

Northern Shaanxi will be the nucleus of our future headquarters, where two or three corps can be deployed and deployed along this line. As long as Yang Hucheng does not cross this line, we will be fine.

In addition, in the area bordering Shanxi, we can also deploy a corps to deal with the possible encirclement and suppression of our base areas by the Jin Sui army. If you can make them suffer a little, with Yan Laoxi's character, he shouldn't be able to make a loss-making deal.

The second is the Yulin area, and if the headquarters agrees, our independent column will be responsible. In this way, with our current troop allocation, we can still keep a corps as a reserve to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

Although northern Shaanxi is barren, Kesheng is a chicken rib in this place, and the Red Army of northern Shaanxi has been active here for many years, and there is also a mass base. As the core of the northern Shaanxi Soviet region in the future, it will undoubtedly be able to stabilize the situation the fastest.

As for Qingyang and Yulin, the population and grain output are better than those in northern Shaanxi. Most importantly, both places are rich in mineral resources. In the future, it will also be very helpful to set up our industrial base.

Even if an industrial base cannot be formed for the time being, after the minerals are mined, I think Yan Laoxi will still be interested. I think the king of Shanxi should be more interested in business than fighting. ’

Looking at the map, even the defense against the enemy is considered. Mao Taizu also deliberately considered and said: "Why, you would choose this place in Yulin as the base of your independent column?" ”

Because it's closest to the north, and secondly, I have a hunch. The little devils who have invaded our three eastern provinces are afraid that they will not stop their aggression against us. If they continue to invade us, Hebei and Shanxi will certainly be the focus of their attacks.

If my hunch becomes a reality, I hope that in the future, the independent column will become the first team of our army to join the War of Resistance. Since we have raised the banner of going north to resist Japan, if we don't compete with the little devils, it will make people more or less suspicious.

Secondly, I plan to slowly extend the independent column to Inner Mongolia. Once the time is ripe, it will go straight to the northeast from the direction of Inner Mongolia. Of course, to do this, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it in a short time. ’

Thinking of the Taiyuan Battle that was about to start two years later, He Zhengdao hoped that he could command the independent column to advance into Shanxi in the future. Even if he couldn't inflict heavy losses on the Japanese troops who participated in the Battle of Taiyuan at that time, He Zhengdao hoped to gain something in this battle.

For example, the Taiyuan Arsenal, which is known as the three major arsenals of the Republic of China, was demolished by the Japanese army at that time, and He Zhengdao felt that it might be able to play a greater role in regaining northern Shaanxi. It's just that it's not easy to play this move well!

After listening to He Zhengdao's narration, Mao Taizu also sincerely found that He Zhengdao, who was only twenty years old in front of him, had a strategic vision that seemed to be farther than other army commanders. Others only care about the base area, but he has already looked at the national battlefield.

As the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, Mao Taizu also knew that under the current situation, the ambitious Japanese army would not be satisfied with the results of the annexation of the three eastern provinces. For a chaotic China, they will surely plunder again.

Despite the rising voice of the War of Resistance in China, Chairman Chiang, who is the commander-in-chief of a country, still intends to take over power from the Central Committee. The rest of the local warlords still insist on sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, and do not want their power to be taken back by the central government.

Mao Taizu could understand Chairman Chiang's thoughts, but he did not agree with his practice of eliminating dissidents. It is precisely because of this that Mao Taizu hopes to find a chance that can make Huaxia reborn.

After He Zhengdao finished talking about his plan, Mao Taizu also smiled and said, "Enlai, what do you think?" ”

Although this plan is a bit risky, if it can be realized, it will be very helpful for us to create a situation in the Northwest in the future." But if you do this, Yang Hucheng is only afraid that he will be annoyed, right? ’

As the actual controller of Shaanxi, the Northwest Army has actually been attacking the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. It's just that compared with other local warlords, the Northwest Army under Yang Hucheng did not have much strength in encircling and suppressing the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.

In the words of the Red Army, this was an ally that could be won over. If they really had bad relations with them, it would still be very detrimental to the activities of the Red Army in the northwest. After all, if you can, it's better not to be evil.

Listening to what Zhou Enlai said, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Vice Chairman Zhou, in fact, these places we want to fight are nothing to the Northwest Army. This Qingyang should be regarded as the boundary under the jurisdiction of Gansu, right?

As for northern Shaanxi, it itself is under the control of our Red Army. In the Yulin area, what should really be annoyed should be Yan Xishan, which is the territory controlled by the Jin Sui army. Actually, we didn't take much of his land! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Enlai thought about it, and it was really so. And this also means that at the upcoming enlargement meeting tomorrow, Mao Taizu may consider implementing the base expansion plan mentioned by He Zhengdao! (To be continued.) )
