When I saw off Division Commander Liu and Adjutant Xu, it was already evening.

Just after dinner, the 24 battalions sent out by Yue Weihan to "loot" the counties in southern Hebei also returned.

The 6th and 13th Divisions of the Yue Army, which were heading north along the Pinghan Railway, had also reoccupied Shimen and Zhengding.

However, the army did not react to the "looting" behavior of the Baoshan Division, and the reasons were many, perhaps because they did not understand the tactical purpose of the Baoshan Division and did not dare to act rashly, or perhaps because the Baoshan Division was divided into 24 routes, which made the army tired of coping, so the surname Suo ignored accordingly, anyway, the army just didn't react.

The 24 main battalions that returned in triumph also brought back a large number of silver dollars, gold and silver jewelry, grain, cloth, cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys and other livestock, and the harvest was far beyond Yue Weihan's estimate.

Although the New Sixth Army has been expanded into the 39th Group Army, the troops under its jurisdiction are still four divisions.

With this batch of money, food, and materials, plus the huge amount of property originally looted from Shimen and Zhengding, as well as the 500,000 fiat currency that Chairman Jiang had just urgently allocated through the Second War Zone, Yue Weihan would no longer have to worry about military salaries for at least two years, and there would be enough food to support until midsummer next year.

The most difficult issue of weapons and ammunition is not difficult for the time being.

Although the 39th Group Army that had just been formed had three more divisions of men, the Baoshan Division had annihilated two mixed brigades of the Yue Army, and had just severely damaged the 20th Division at Niangzi Pass, and the surplus armament was barely enough to arm the three divisions.

Next, it's time to think about the general policy of the Jingcheng Mountain Base Area!

Yue Weihan formally convened the first meeting of senior officers of the 39th Group Army.

Although the Central Military Commission has officially ordered the promotion of Yue Weihan to the rank of army general and formally appointed Yue Weihan as commander-in-chief of the 39 th Group Army, it has only mentioned the formation of the 39 th Group Army, and has not designated the candidates for the commanders and senior officers of the various armies, divisions, and commanders.

This is also in line with the practice of [***], except for the Central Army, other local armies do this.

Although Yue Weihan's Baoshan Division was from the Central Army, in Chairman Jiang's heart, Yue Weihan was already an out-and-out local warlord, and his troops were already out-and-out warlord troops, so he never thought of appointing a high-ranking officer candidate for the 39th Group Army, and he didn't even send a director of the Political Department.

According to the establishment of the Military Commission, the 39th Group Army has two armies, namely the 69th Army and the New Sixth Army, of which the 69th Army has 181 divisions and the new 6th divisions; The Baoshan Division and the New Ninth Division are under the jurisdiction of the New Sixth Army, and there has been no change in the personnel of the senior generals of each division.

What needs to be appointed are senior generals at the military level.

The commander of the New Sixth Army is naturally concurrently served by Yue Weihan, as for the commander of the 69th Army, after thinking about it, it was still given to Gao Shuxun, of course, this is absolutely only temporary, and when the battalion and regiment-level officers of the Baoshan Division transferred to each division gain a firm foothold and control the troops, the division commanders and brigade commanders of each division will definitely have a big change, and Gao Shuxun's commander will naturally come to an end.

The meeting of senior officers ended quickly, and only Yue Weihan and Liu Yi were left in the conference room.

Liu Yi opened the folder and reported to Yue Weihan: "The main seat, Cangyan Mountain, Woniu Mountain and Sendai Mountain prisoner of war concentration camps have been repaired, in addition, the equipment of the major factories in Shimen and Zhengding, as well as the materials and equipment stranded at the Zhengding Railway Station, have all been rushed to Jingcheng County, but it will take at least ten days to transport them to the mountainous area. ”

"The equipment had to be transported into the mountains." Yue Weihan said, "Factories can only be built in mountainous areas!" ”

It is true that the factory can only be built in the mountainous area, and it is not possible to choose a mountain nest to build the factory and it is over, the sites of the major factories must be carefully selected, and they must be carefully camouflaged, it is best to build underground, or dig out the factory building on the cliff wall, only in this way can we avoid the bombing of the army bombers!

At this stage, the quality of the old pilots of the little devils is still very high, if these old pilots of the little devils lock on to the target, a few heavy bombs will come down, and the factory that has been built with great difficulty will definitely be razed to the ground in an instant.

Yue Weihan said again: "Chief of Staff, how much ash is there in the materials rushed from Shimen and Zhengding?" ”

Liu Yi flipped through the folder to the list of materials, and after finding it, he replied: "Not a lot, only more than two hundred tons." ”

"Only more than two hundred tons? Too little! Yue Weihan said, "In this way, the cement plant and the power plant do not have to go into the mountain for the time being, immediately find a suitable plant, organize technicians to install equipment, and start production as soon as possible!" ”

"This shouldn't be a problem." Liu Yi said, "The power plant is ready-made, there is already one in Jingcheng County, the cement plant is easy to find, and there are technicians who install and debug equipment, and Captain Zhao's anti-war propaganda has already had an effect, and there are already several experts and more than 50 technicians who are willing to help." ”

"Great." Yue Weihan asked again, "What about that Pi Xiaocheng?" ”

"Now it's in the anti-war group." Liu Yi said, "Assist Captain Zhao in anti-war work." ”

Yue Weihan said: "The anti-war work will be handed over to Zhao Xinyi first, and let Pi Xiaocheng immediately organize those experts and technicians who have already rebelled, and seize the time to build a cement plant, the sooner the better!" You tell him that within three days, all the equipment must be installed and commissioned, and within seven days, I must produce ash! ”

"In such a hurry?" Liu Yi said, "Boss, why do you want so much ash?" ”

"Repair the fortress!" Yue Weihan said, "We are going to build a large fortress at the east and west ends of the Jingcheng Grand Canyon!" The fortress on the west side has Niangzi Pass as the foundation, which is easy to do, but the main body of the fortress on the east side must be a reinforced concrete structure, and it must be able to withstand the bombing of the heavy bombs of the army. ”

Speaking of this, Yue Weihan said: "Each bunker fortification must also have a tunnel connected to the main fortress to ensure that the reinforcements of the main fortress can be quickly put into the pillbox fortifications, in addition, in front of the pillbox fortification group, a large number of anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches must be built to ensure that the heavy equipment of the army cannot get close to the pillbox fortification group." ”

"So complicated?" Liu Yi said in horror, "I'm afraid this has to have detailed construction drawings, and it won't take two or three months, I'm afraid it won't be possible, and also, to build such two large fortresses, it is absolutely impossible to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the little devils, will the little devils watch us build the fortresses?" ”
