[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 160: The Rich Man Gives a Gift (Ask for Subscription!) ）

The conversation continued, and after feeling all this, Mr. Zhu asked a question that everyone was very concerned about: "Ma Zheng, how many troops are there in the Suicha base area now?" ”

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "I also want to report this matter to the chiefs, our department now has an infantry division, a cavalry group and two independent brigades, with a total of 19 regiments of more than 45,000 people, including 10 infantry regiments, five cavalry regiments, 3 rapid reaction cavalry regiments, one regiment each for artillery and engineers, and a special operations brigade, a motor transport team, and a field hospital. ”

"Forty-five thousand! So much? Mr. Zhu said in surprise, and the other leaders also looked at Ma Zheng in disbelief.

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "It is indeed more than 45,000 people, but more than 20,000 of them are Mongolian men from the Chahar tribe. They have just joined us, and they have not undergone rigorous training, so they can't go to the battlefield to fight with devils for the time being! In addition, field hospitals, transport teams and other units are all non-combat units, so the actual available strength is only more than 23,000 people, including the two regiments of the Shaanxi army with very poor combat effectiveness! ”

"That's also amazing, I think there were only a few people in our Eighth Route Army when they were reorganized, and there were only forty or fifty thousand people, and the weapons and equipment were not as good as your department!" Mr. Zhu said.

Vice Chairman Zhou also said with admiration: "It is said that you are a horse madman who is brave and unscrupulous, and will only rush forward in battle, I think the person who said this is really white with two big eyes, and it took more than half a year to pull up a group army, good!" ”

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "The leaders have won the award, although the overall strength of our department is equivalent to a group army of the Kuomintang, or even a little more. But it's a far cry from our opponents. You must know that the troops stationed in Mongolia in front of us have a strong strength of two field divisions and one mixed brigade, and their total strength has surpassed ours. ”

"In addition, compared to the Japanese army. Our unit is not only unable to compare with others in terms of the number of personnel and firepower allocation on both sides, but also has a huge gap in logistics support and many aspects. Therefore, judging from the strength of our department in a short period of time, at most it can fight to the death with a second-rate unit like the 26th Division, but it will not work against an elite like the 16th Division. In particular, in the war of positional warfare and the war of attrition, we are even more inferior to the Japanese army. ”

The chairman smiled and said: "Not being able to fight now does not mean that you can't fight in the future, if you can pull a group army in half a year, then you will be able to support a war zone in the future." Now it's forty-five thousand. Maybe next year it will be 90,000 or even 100,000 by now. And there are only so many little devils in the country, and we will definitely win in the end! ”

Vice Chairman Zhou also said: "It is normal that we cannot defeat the Japanese now, and we must know that the strategic resources we have now are far inferior to those of the Nationalist Government, and they are far worse than those of the Japanese army. That's why we proposed to establish base areas behind enemy lines, fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy, and accumulate small victories into big victories. ”

Then Vice Chairman Zhou said: "It's not that we don't dare to fight with devils, and it's not that we're afraid of sacrificing to preserve our strength." It's that we really can't compete with the devils in terms of weapons and ammunition, and if we blindly fight with the devils, then it won't be long before the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out. So when I heard that you were going to fight to the death with Hasunuma. Both I and the President are very worried. ”

"On the one hand, I am worried about your comfort, but more importantly, I am afraid that you, a bastard boy, will lose all the team that has been pulled up with great difficulty. If it weren't for the fact that it was really inappropriate to change the generals on the spot, we would have almost recalled you back to Yan'an. But now it seems that your kid is confident, and he specially put a trap on Liannuma Pan, and as soon as he made a move, he smashed Huanglong, not only broke Zhangjiakou, but also killed the old devil of Liannuma Pan, which is really terrifying. ”

"You're doing a good job. Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng have praised you to us many times, saying that you are young and promising, and you are a material for war. There is a future for development. You kid is angry, is this unit the caretaker of your military region today? Then you took this main force away, what should you do over there in the base area? The chairman asked, taking a puff on his cigarette.

Ma Zheng immediately replied: "I only transferred three regiments of troops to the south this time, of which the real old man only has 200 regiments, and the 201st, 202nd, and 203rd regiments, which have the strongest combat effectiveness in the base area, are still in the base area, and once there is a change in the base area, it should be able to cope with it." In addition, all the high-ranking officers in the base area, except for Huang Sicheng, are all in the base area. If the Mongolian army launched an attack on our Suicha base area, although it would not say how many enemies were destroyed, it would not be breached by the enemy. ”

Then Ma Zheng smiled again and said: "Actually, even if the Japanese army takes the defense area of our department, it is nothing, the southern Chanan area is poor and poor, and the population is even smaller. The eight counties under our control have a population of just over one million, and most of them are old and weak. If the Japanese attack the base area, we can let them, and when their forces are dispersed, we will concentrate our forces to give them a ruthless blow, and it will definitely make that old devil in the harem Chun vomit blood! ”

"No wonder you kid dares to lead his troops to the south, it turns out that he is confident! But you kid have to be careful of Lao Jiang, you can easily be used as cannon fodder when you go to other people's territory! Mr. Zhu said.

Ma Zheng smiled and said, "I have already thought of this, but Lao Jiang will not do anything to us before the battle is over." Besides, we can even capture the headquarters of Liannuma Pan, and we are afraid that Lao Jiang will use us as cannon fodder? ”

"Hehe, don't be so confident in your kid, you need to know the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Mr. Zhu said.

"Boss, I'm not proud of the enemy, we have to despise the enemy strategically, and at the same time pay attention to the enemy tactically!" Ma Zheng said.

After saying this, Ma Zheng suddenly was a little stunned, remembering that this seemed to be said by the great man in front of him, and it seemed that it should have been raised during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but he didn't expect that he accidentally said it, and he didn't know if it was plagiarism.

Sure enough, hearing Ma Zheng's words, the chairman suddenly said thoughtfully: "What a wonderful thing to say! Strategically despising the enemy and tactically attaching importance to the enemy are two inseparable aspects of defeating the enemy. Only by strategically despising the enemy can we dare to fight the enemy. In order to maintain a strong fighting spirit, perseverance, and move forward. Only then can we be temporarily in difficult conditions, not be confused by the phenomenon of the enemy's external strength and middle cadres, and not be pessimistic, disappointed, and stagnant in overestimating the enemy. ”

"Attaching importance to the enemy tactically is a realistic guarantee for defeating the enemy. Only by attaching importance to the enemy tactically can we avoid underestimating the enemy and giving rise to the idea of paralyzing and underestimating the enemy. Only then can we adopt a cautious attitude and pay attention to the art of struggle in every specific struggle. In order to keep a clear mind, not to be reckless and reckless, and to finish the battle. ”

Hearing this, Ma Zheng nodded and said: "Strategically, we must despise the enemy, this is to establish confidence in our own victory." However, it is necessary to pay attention to tactics, even if it is an opponent with relatively weak chess strength, there are too many cases of the weak defeating the strong. Every step should not be taken lightly and carelessly, so that you can be invincible! ”

"What a horse Zheng, what a horse maniac, worthy of being called a demon general by the Japanese, this kind of insight alone is enough to become a generation of famous generals!" The chairman said with a smile.

"The chief has won the award!" Ma Zheng said modestly.

"Hahaha, there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for confidants, if we don't have wine here, I really want to have a drink with you kid!" The chairman said with a smile.

Ma Zheng also smiled and said, "There are no other things, but this wine is really there!" ”

"You have alcohol, you kid won't drink in the army, it's a violation of discipline!" Mr. Zhu asked with a smile.

"How can it! This sake of mine is specially brought to all the leaders, and it is the best sake that has captured the little devils. Alcohol is absolutely contraband in the base area, even captured booty is not allowed to be drunk, how can I, the commander, take the lead in violating discipline! Ma Zheng said.

"How did alcohol become contraband, as long as you don't drink it in the barracks?" Vice Chairman Zhou asked.

Ma Zheng immediately replied: "The main reason is that we lack the necessary medical supplies, the most important of which is alcohol and gauze, gauze we usually reuse, and once the alcohol is sterilized, it cannot be used, and the seized alcohol is not enough, so the seized liquor is basically all sent to the field hospital." ”

"I see, since it's so precious, then you still have to bring it back and forth for us!" Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile.

"This is not the time when Comrade Lan Qing told me that life in Yan'an is very difficult, not only the ordinary staff cannot keep up with the nutrition, but also the leaders. It just so happened that some time ago, a batch of supplies was captured in the operation, so when I came, I brought some with me! Ma Zheng said.

"Oh, you kid gave a gift to the leader again, hurry up and tell me, what are the good things?" Mr. Zhu asked with a smile.

"Not much, just a dozen boxes of sake, a dozen boxes of canned beef, and some cigarettes. In addition, there is a car of cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, as well as tens of thousands of oceans, things are cars loaded by Yun Political Commissar, and there are two large trucks in miscellaneous. Ma Zheng said.

"So much?" Mr. Zhu and the others looked at Ma Zheng in surprise.

"Fortunately, the main reason is that during this period of war, there are many wars, and there are a lot of seizures, and it is inconvenient to hand over some of the loot due to the long distance. It just so happened that this time the troops were going south to pass through Yan'an, so they transported it by the way, which can be regarded as picking grass and beating rabbits! In addition, we didn't go to deal with the cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, so we sent them to Yan'an and let the chiefs find a way to realize them, and the provincial ones were moldy in the warehouse! Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"They all say that your kid is a rich man, and it's true! We have collected the things, and it just so happens that all the troops are short of food and military expenses during this time, and with the money and materials you support, we should be able to alleviate the financial crisis in the border area! The chairman said with a smile
