Chapter 689: Confident Left Power
Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the field army headquarters, was standing in front of the huge military combat sand table. A pair of eyes, unblinking, staring at the current troop deployment of the enemy and our armies on the sand table. Just when Liu Hua was facing the sand table and slowly fell into contemplation, the excited voice of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan quickly reached his ears.
"Good news, good news, Commander-in-Chief...."
"Huh? What good news can make our chief of staff, Comrade Zuo Quan, so excited. Quick, tell me and the political commissar to listen..."Looking at the chief of staff with an excited face in front of him, Liu Hua quickly put away the solemn look on his face, and asked with a smile on his face to the chief of staff in front of him.
At the same time, Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar next to him, also showed a look of expectation. A pair of eyes, quickly staring at the chief of staff in front of him, waiting for the chief of staff's answer.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, commissar. All these telegrams in my hand are telegrams from all over the world in the past few days. Without exception, they all reported the current situation in the base area after the local little devil expatriates were arrested by us... If there are four words to describe the current base area, it is the word "thriving". Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied with a smile on his face.
"Chief of Staff, what you say is true. Just half a month has passed, and the commander-in-chief's plan has begun to bear fruit. Quick, tell us about the specific situation...."As soon as the chief of staff's words fell, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked excitedly.
"Yes, commissar. In the past half a month, our Northeast Field Army has recruited more than 165,000 young and middle-aged people from the entire base area. At present, these young and middle-aged people, in accordance with the requirements of the commander-in-chief, have respectively set up engineering troops, mining troops, road troops, railway troops, and agricultural reclamation units under our Northeast Field Army....According to Director Peng's meaning, with the addition of these hundreds of thousands of free laborers, I will definitely step onto a new level in the shortest possible time according to my development...."
"As for all the women and children among the overseas Chinese, with the close cooperation of the troops and the military and civilians in the base area, it took less than 10 days for all of them to be sent out of the base area. At present, except for a small number of technicians who obey the leadership of our army, there is not even a single devil to be seen in the entire base area. Of course, in the process of expelling these little devil diaspora, there is one of the biggest incomes, which is the property of these expatriates. According to statistics, excluding the land occupied by the expatriates, the confiscation of all kinds of oceans, gold bars, and gold and silver jewelry alone added up to more than 60 million silver dollars. In addition, there are countless antique calligraphy and paintings, which have not been appraised for the time being....As for the various kinds of grain confiscated from the hands of the expatriates, all of them add up to at least enough for the needs of all the commanders and fighters of our Northeast Field Army for two years..."
"Okay... Commander-in-Chief, or do you have the courage ... I really didn't expect that in less than half a month, this tumor that grew on our body was completely removed. What's more, by removing this cancer, we unexpectedly gained such a huge benefit. Commander-in-Chief, I really admire you more and more. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said excitedly.
Immediately after, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan continued to ask Zuo Quan, the chief of staff in front of him.
"Chief of Staff, what else, go on ...."
"Commander-in-chief, political commissar, what I just said is a superficial gain. Even more happily, what is still to come? β
Under the expectant gaze of the two people, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with a smile on his face.
"With the little devil expatriates scattered all over the base area, they were expelled by our army. In addition, the government of our base area has implemented the land reform policy for the entire base area. The land seized by the little devils will be redistributed to the hands of the common people according to the head. The hearts of the people in the entire base area were almost completely condensed into a rope, and in the end, they were tightly united around us. β
According to the report of Director Peng, who is in charge of the government and economic construction of the entire base area, at present, the construction of party and government organs in the entire base area is down to the village committee, up to the district party committee, and the county party committee... It has spread to every corner of the base. All the common people really support us. And the influence of our party and our army in the base areas has also reached an unprecedented high. β
"When the people support us, we have a foothold. Taking advantage of this upsurge and popular sentiment, Director Peng promptly put forward a proposal for the formation of a militia organization in the base area. Unexpectedly, this proposal immediately caused a huge response from the people. In less than a week, hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people in the entire base area took the initiative to sign up for militia organizations and receive various military training. So far, the number of militias is still rising in a straight line...", Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's voice had not yet fallen, and Liu Hua, who was shocked, asked rhetorically in disbelief.
"Chief of Staff, in less than a week, Director Peng has developed hundreds of thousands of militia units, are you right?"
As Liu Hua, who can be called a winner of this operation, the reason why he would issue such a rhetorical question. The reason is very simple, in his eyes, in such a short period of time, through this plan, it can really win the hearts of the people, it has been very successful. I never thought that in the process of gaining the hearts and minds of the people, I would be able to get such strong support and support from the local people.
In fact, until this moment, as Liu Hua from later generations, he did not have a clear understanding. At this moment, the land has a place in the minds of ordinary people.
Looking at the land that has been seized by the little devils for decades, it finally returns to his hands. Then I thought that the food I grew in the future would only need to pay almost a pitiful amount of taxes. Countless Northeast men, when they received their own land deeds, they were moved to cry...
Because, the ground under their feet, they have been looking forward to it for ten years. What's more, under the negligible taxes, these Northeast men clearly know that in the future, with the land under their feet, themselves, together with their families, will no longer have to go hungry...
So, in the gratitude of the people in the base area. When the news of the imminent formation of militia units in various places reached everyone's ears. The Northeast men, who have been suppressed for ten years, have enthusiastically signed up to join the army for the sake of the land in their hands and not to be taken away by the little devils again...
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. According to the latest statistics, the total number of these militia units should be around 110,000 at present. According to the statistics of local governments, the total population of the entire base area is about 15.63 million. If calculated according to the proportion of the population, the total strength of the militia forces in the base areas will certainly continue to grow. The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.
"Papapa..." Although, at this moment, there are only three people in the huge war room. However, Liu Hua, who was excited, couldn't help but applaud.
After a burst of crisp applause, Liu Hua spoke.
"Great, since the expansion of the troops, I have been worried about a problem, that is, after a strategic decisive battle, the large losses of the troops cannot be replenished in time, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army. However, for now, it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary... With hundreds of thousands, or even more, of militia units, as the backup of our Northeast Field Army, we no longer need to worry about the loss of troops during the battle...."
After a burst of excited emotion, Liu Hua's face was once again shrouded in a serious look, and he continued to order to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Chief of Staff, so many militia units, if they can't be trained in a unified way. When the time comes, the replenishment of the troops will not be able to immediately form combat effectiveness. In this way, an order was immediately issued to Deputy Chief of Staff Li, who was training the troops, and asked Deputy Chief of Staff Li to transfer a group of veterans from the combat units and send them to Director Peng. They were then dispersed to train these militia units. The number of these veterans is temporarily fixed at three thousand..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."
However, Zuo Quan, the chief of staff who received the order, did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood still, as if he had something to say, but as soon as he reached his mouth, he swallowed it back again.
Seeing the embarrassed look on the chief of staff, he glanced at several busy combat staff officers around him. Liu Hua seemed to understand something, and hurriedly ordered: "Counselor Wang, a few of you go out first." Remember, tell the guards outside that no one is allowed to come in without my orders..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
Looking at the several operational staff officers who were leaving quickly, Liu Hua said to Zuo Quan, the chief of staff in front of him.
"Chief of Staff Left, is there something wrong. Now there are no outsiders here, just say what you have to say, let's discuss it together..."
After a short hesitation, under the gaze of the two partners, Zuo Quan spoke.
"Commander-in-chief, commissar. The military confrontation between the enemy and our armies has lasted for a month and a half. According to the information just received by the intelligence department, the Changchun airport, after emergency repairs by the Kwantung Army, has begun to be put into use. As for the 15 newly formed divisions and regiments just formed by the Kwantung Army, they were also formed a month ago and are currently being trained. My thought is, the little devil Kwantung Army, there is not much time left for us, shouldn't we move....", "En...", "En..."Speaking of this, Liu Hua's brows immediately furrowed. Then, slowly fall into contemplation.
After all, his base has just been annexed by the people, and it is a good time to recuperate. At the same time, the troops have just been expanded, and many units have just entered the training stage and have not formed combat effectiveness at all. If you take the initiative to attack the surrounding Kwantung Army at this time, it is obvious that it is not the best time.
However, as the chief of staff said, if you do not take the initiative now, you will have the initiative in the whole war. After the training of the 15 newly formed divisions and regiments of the Japanese army was completed, they launched a new round of encirclement and suppression operations against the base areas, and they were completely in a passive state. And when the time comes, their losses may be even greater.
Thinking of the pros and cons of this, Liu Hua felt a headache. Because, since he was reborn, he has always been prepared for a battle, and as for the scene in front of him, it is the first time he has encountered it. However, just when Liu Hua's eyes saw the chief of staff of Zuo Quan, who seemed to be full of confidence in front of him. Immediately understood something, and then asked.
"Chief of Staff, what do you mean..."
Looking at the commander-in-chief with a hesitant face in front of him, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied unusually resolutely:
"Commander-in-Chief, I think we should seize this hard-won opportunity. Before the Japanese army paid attention to us, they took the initiative to attack and took the Japanese by surprise. Then, on the periphery of the base area, find a way to fight a big war of annihilation. I believe that as long as we can once again completely annihilate more than two divisions of the Japanese army through this campaign, we will once again have at least a month's rest for the base area..."
Zuo Quan's words were like a tranquilizer at a glance, sweeping away Liu Hua's concerns just now. Looking at the confident chief of staff in front of him, Liu Hua's face slowly showed a decisive look and asked.
"Chief of Staff, how sure are you..."
"As long as the commander-in-chief supports me, I am 100% sure that I can fight this battle well..."Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied confidently.
"Okay, since the chief of staff is so confident, I, Liu Hua, resolutely support you. Commissar, what do you mean? While speaking, the two of them put their eyes on Luo Ronghuan beside them at the same time.
"The two CEOs agreed, and I, as a housekeeper, certainly agreed. Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, the two of you, just fight with confidence. As for the logistics and base areas, leave it to me...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan replied very approvingly.
The opinions of the three people are unified, and the next step is to consider how to fight. Thinking of the task he had assigned to the chief of staff in front of him a month and a half ago, Liu Hua asked directly.
"Chief of Staff, a month and a half ago, I asked the General Staff to draw up the battle plan, has it been completed..."
"The report to the commander-in-chief, the commissar, has been worked out. After many deductions by the General Staff, as long as there are no major accidents, it will definitely be an unprecedented victory..."Zuo Quan replied confidently.
"So confident..."Seeing the sworn chief of staff in front of him, Liu Hua asked with a smile on his face.
"In that case, Chief of Staff, will you briefly introduce the entire deduction process to me and the political commissar?"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."Zuo Quan replied with a cheerful face.
"Commander-in-Chief and Political Commissar, according to the report of Deputy Chief of Staff Li, after a month and a half of reorganization and training, at present, the First Army of the First Corps, the Fourth Army of the Second Corps, the Seventh Army of the Third Corps, the Tenth Army of the Fourth Corps, the Thirteenth Army of the Fifth Corps, the units directly under the Corps, the guard division directly under the Field Army, the Heavy Artillery Division, the Air Defense Division, the First Fighter Regiment of the Aviation Corps, and the First Bomber Regiment have a total of 190,000 people, and they are ready to go into battle. At the same time, the remaining ten corps and armored corps, totaling 250,000 people, although they did not form combat effectiveness. However, there is already more than enough to carry out defensive operations in the base areas. β

"I mean, take the initiative to attack by adjusting the units that are suitable for the field army. Attack to the south and to the north, respectively. To the south, with the cooperation of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, a major battle of annihilation was fought in the Pingjin area. To the north, we will expand our base area, with Mengshan County as the center, and bring the entire southeast area of Jilin east of Liaoyuan into the control of our base area. At the same time, with the help of our army's familiarity with the terrain in the Changbai Mountain area, a major war of annihilation will be fought in the Changbai Mountain area, so as to disrupt the Kwantung Army's deployment of our Northeast Field Army and let the Kwantung Army mess up its own position. β,
Facing the chief of staff's answer, Liu Hua nodded thoughtfully. Then, facing Zuo Quan in front of him, he continued to ask.
"Attack to the south, with the cooperation of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. There should be no big problem in eating up the strength of more than one division of the Japanese army. After all, the current North China garrison has lost its original air superiority to a certain extent. Combined with their limited forces, they have to defend a lot of places, which creates a good opportunity for us to break through. However, it is a bit more difficult to develop north. Chief of Staff, tell me what you think. β

"Yes, commander-in-chief....as far as I know, for the safety of Changchun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, in the four important towns of Tongliao, Siping, Liaoyuan, and Jilin, the Kwantung Army has stationed no less than one division of the first division, and the strength is very strong. With our current strength, we can't move these places. After all, it takes a trigger to move the whole body. β
Seeing Liu Hua nodding thoughtfully, Zuo Quan continued to answer.
"According to intelligence, Meihekou is located on a major transportation route, and the Kwantung Army also attaches great importance to it, plus the surrounding area, a mixed brigade is stationed. I mean, we attack the mouth of the Meihe River and make a posture to cut off the railway line of the Kwantung Army. At that time, Meihekou will be in danger, and Liaoyuan City, which is closest to Meihekou, will definitely send reinforcements. As long as the Japanese reinforcements attack, we can concentrate our forces, eat this reinforcements, and give the Kwantung Army a siege to send reinforcements...."
"Good idea..."Liu Hua nodded approvingly, and then asked.
"Chief of Staff, how many troops do you think the Kwantung Army in Liaoyuan City will send to reinforce Meihekou?"
Facing Liu Hua's question, after a short period of contemplation, Zuo Quan replied affirmatively.
"Reinforcements of a division ... According to intelligence, in the entire Liaoyuan City, a division regiment and part of the garrison troops were stationed. However, with the increase of troops in the Kwantung Army, a new division regiment was once again formed in the Liaoyuan area, a mixed brigade unit. According to the current combat effectiveness of the two newly formed units, Liaoyuan City can only send this first-class division to fight at most. Of course, there will be a lot of Manchurian troops accompanying them ...."

"A division regiment, with our ability, can completely eat. After besieging the city and sending reinforcements, I did it....Chief of Staff, immediately convey the order, and the commanders above the corps will go to the headquarters for a meeting at six o'clock tomorrow night...."After figuring out all the joints, Liu Hua, who was good at grasping the fighter plane, did not hesitate and ordered very decisively.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...", the chief of staff of Zuo Quan, also replied excitedly.
