Shimen, Baoshan Division.

Liu Yi had already left, but Yue Weihan was deep in thought at the big map.

In order to support the Battle of Wuhan, Shimen must be defended, but it is impossible to defend it forever!

If nothing else, the Battle of Wuhan will definitely end in the final victory of the Yue Army, Wuhan will definitely be lost, and the more than 100 divisions of the [***] main force gathered in the Wuhan battlefield will definitely be severely damaged, but they will never be completely annihilated by the Yue Army, and the Yue Army will also lose the ability to continue the offensive after winning the Battle of Wuhan and occupying Wuhan.

In half a month at most, the battlefield will enter the stage of strategic stalemate.

Once a strategic stalemate is reached, the Chinese army will certainly mobilize heavy troops to carry out a large-scale law and order battle in the occupied areas.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Baoshan Division, on the premise of sufficient ammunition supply, it can completely shake the most elite permanent division of the Yue Army head-on, and if it is an ordinary field division of the Yue Army, it can fight against at least two, but if it faces more than three field divisions and regiments of the Yue Army at the same time, then the Baoshan Division will only have the right to escape.

Once the army starts a law and order battle against the occupied area, the army gathered in the North China battlefield will definitely exceed ten divisions, and at that time, the Baoshan division will not be able to hold Shimen no matter what, so it is a matter of time before it retreats, and what Yue Weihan needs to consider now is how to create a solid anti-Japanese base in advance.

There is still at least half a month before the end of the Battle of Wuhan, and if the Yue Army wants to mobilize heavy troops to carry out a large-scale public order and suppression battle in North China, it will need at least two months of preparation time, that is to say, the Baoshan Division still has two and a half months to operate the anti-Japanese base area, and the time is quite sufficient.

The question is, where should this anti-Japanese base be built?

First of all, this anti-Japanese base area should not be too far away from Shimen.

If the distance is too far, the thousands of pieces of equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, as well as the equipment of the Shimen Coking Plant, the power plant, the yarn factory, the chemical plant, and the iron and steel plant, which Yue Weihan managed to obtain with great difficulty, will not be able to carry them over, and if these equipment are not moved over and the corresponding factories are built, then the Baoshan Division will not have the ability to continue fighting.

Second, there must be a large coal mine and a large iron mine near this anti-Japanese base area.

Weapons and ammunition are needed to fight wars, and steel is needed to manufacture weapons and ammunition, so steel mills are needed, and steel mills need electricity in addition to iron ore, so they need power plants, and power plants need coal.

Finally, and most importantly, this anti-Japanese base must be built in the mountains!

The biggest characteristic of mountainous areas is that the roads are rugged and the vegetation is dense, and the rugged roads can block the entry of heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery, and the dense vegetation can weaken the threat of the army's aviation, and if the army loses the support of heavy equipment and aviation, it will not have any advantage in front of the Baoshan Division at all.

Yue Weihan's gaze slowly wandered on the map, and finally stopped in the mountainous area northwest of Jingcheng.

Jingcheng County is about 30 kilometers away from Shimen City, is an ancient county seat on the Zhengtai Railway and Zhengtai Highway, since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, there has been a county here, Jingcheng County is a mountainous county, surrounded by mountainous areas, less than 15 kilometers northwest is the Jingcheng Coal Mine, this is a big coal mine, the little devil is now dominating the coal mine.

The Jingcheng Coal Mine is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are extremely steep and steep.

Guanyintuo, Xianglu Mountain, Qingfengkou, Longwang Convex, Sow Cliff, Niushi Mountain, Zhongtai Yuan, Pingtianguan, Heijian Mountain and other peaks and peaks are connected, endless, the heavy equipment of the army is absolutely not able to enter, the bombers have to be caught blind when they arrive here, if a little management, can build bunker fortifications in various passes, the army does not pay ten times the price is absolutely impossible to attack.

In addition, judging from the document resources obtained from the special service of the army stationed in Shimen, the limestone and clay ore reserves in Jingcheng County are quite rich, and the main raw materials of cement are limestone and clay.

The equipment of this cement plant is a must!

With the cement plant, Baoshan Division will be able to operate its own anti-Japanese base area as solid as gold!

The only regret is that there seems to be no large iron ore in Jingcheng County and the surrounding area, if you build a steel plant, you need to cross the Taihang Mountain to Yuanping and Dai County to enter the iron ore, but this is not a problem, when the Baoshan Division only needs to take out a small amount of guns and ammunition, you can exchange a large amount of iron ore from the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army.

"This is it!" Yue Weihan slammed his fist on the map, and he made up his mind immediately.

There are coal, limestone and clay in the northwest mountainous area of Jingcheng, and it is a mountainous area, only 30 kilometers away from Shimen, and iron ore can also be obtained, and all conditions are fully met!

As soon as Yue Weihan made up his mind, Liu Yi came back after sending a telegram.

Liu Yi was also followed by Gao Jingwu, the major of the Intelligence Department of the Special Service Group.

Gao Jingwu stood upright, saluted Yue Weihan, and said with a solemn expression: "Military seat, the intelligence department has just deciphered the secret code of the army, and it is reported that the headquarters of the Central China Front Army and the North China Front Army have issued orders to the 6th, 13th, and 20th divisions respectively, and these three divisions will attack Shimen along the Pinghan Railway and the Zhengtai Railway!" ”

"Hiss......" Liu Yi suddenly gasped and said awe-inspiringly, "I didn't expect to really let the military seat say it!" ”

"And that's to be expected." Although Yue Weihan's face looked bleak, his heart was also extremely heavy, these were three field divisions, of which the 6th and 20th were still permanent divisions! If these three divisions are allowed to rush to Shimen at the same time, then the Baoshan Division will definitely be beaten to the ground by them!

Although the Eighth Route Army was good at guerrilla warfare, it was impossible to hold the army for too long.

It seems that we must hurry up, otherwise it will be too late when the army comes to the door!

Yue Weihan waved his hand, signaled Gao Jingwu to retreat, and then said to Liu Yi: "Chief of Staff, immediately convene a meeting of the main officers of each brigade and regiment to announce the reorganization plan!" ”

Liu Yi was stunned and said, "Don't wait for the Military Commission to reply?" ”

"No waiting." Yue Weihan said categorically, "The military situation is like fire, and when it is broken, it will be broken!" ”

"Yes." Liu Yi stood upright and said solemnly, "I will convene a meeting of the commanders of all brigades and regiments. ”

Seeing Liu Yi leave, Yue Weihan raised his head again and shouted, "Chu Zhongtian! ”

Chu Zhongtian's tall figure heard the sound and entered, and responded: "Military seat!?" ”

"Go." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Let Major Zhao Xinyi, the leader of the propaganda team of the special service group, come over immediately." ”

"Yes." Chu Zhongtian suddenly agreed, and immediately received the order, the station of the special task force was near the division headquarters, Chu Zhongtian could not leave the tea kung fu, Zhao Xinyi arrived panting, obviously, she came at a trot.

Yue Weihan waved his hand back to Chu Zhongtian, and then smiled at Zhao Xinyi: "Please take a seat, Comrade Zhao Xinyi." ”

Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but glance at Yue Weihan, the word "comrade" that Yue Weihan just said gave her a strange feeling, and even gave her an illusion, almost thinking that Yue Weihan was really her comrade, but Zhao Xinyi quickly threw away this ridiculous idea and asked Yue Weihan: "Junzuo, are you looking for me?" ”

Yue Weihan was speechless and said, "Has your headquarters replied?" ”

"The head of the headquarters has just sent a telegram." Zhao Xinyi nodded solemnly and said, "The main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the Teaching Regiment and the Reading Brigade of the Southern Hebei Military Region will delay the 20th, 6th, and 13th Divisions of the Army for at least ten days at any cost, but ten days is already our limit, and this is the only thing we can help." ”

Yue Weihan said sincerely: "Comrade Zhao Xinyi, if your army can really hold off the army for ten days, it will really help our Baoshan Division a lot, and I will definitely provide your army with a regiment of weapons and equipment to show my gratitude." ”

Zhao Xinyi politely refused: "Whether it is [***] or the Eighth Route Army, everyone is Chinese, and it is a matter of duty to fight devils, and there is no need to thank them." "The Eighth Route Army is now short of equipment, but the Baoshan Division is not rich, and the Baoshan Division needs to fight head-on with the Yue Army, and it needs weapons and equipment more than the Eighth Route Army, which is a simple truth Zhao Xinyi still knows.

"That's not going to happen." Yue Weihan waved his hand awe-inspiringly, and then said with a salivating face, "However, Comrade Zhao Xinyi, I don't know if your party and army can do us another small favor to the Baoshan Division?" ”

Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, where did Yue Weihan's face look like a lieutenant general at this time? It's like a green-skinned scoundrel who has been entangled with well-wishers.

Zhao Xinyi's smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, it was really beautiful, and Yue Weihan was a little distracted for a while.

"Throne!?" Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but glance at Yue Weihan, Yue Weihan woke up like a dream, touched his nose with some embarrassment, and said, "That's the case, I want to move several factories in Shimen City and Zhengding County, as well as the thousands of pieces of equipment at Zhengding Station, to Jingcheng Mountain, which may require 50,000 people, I don't know if your party can help mobilize?" ”

"Fifty thousand people!?" Zhao Xinyi's small mouth suddenly opened into an "O" shape, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Junzao, I can immediately report this situation to my superiors, and I believe that our party will also try its best to mobilize the masses, but in the end, how many people can be mobilized, this is really not good." ”

"As long as your party is willing to help, this will be done." Yue Weihan is full of confidence in [***], as a traverser, Yue Weihan is well aware of [***]'s great energy in mass work! Of course, this is entirely because [***] comes from the masses and represents the interests of the broad masses of the people, so it can respond to all calls.

Zhao Xinyi said with some surprise: "Junzao, you are so confident in us [***]?" ”

"Of course, I have never had confidence in the Kuomintang, but I have always had confidence in you [***]!" Yue Weihan's words seemed to be meaningful, and Zhao Xinyi's heart couldn't help but have a strange thought, could it be ......
