Chapter 241: Final Preparations

-- Modern

After Jiang Cheng and Xiang Ying and others visited, they had a secret conversation with Chairman Mao, discussed a few details of the candle dragon plan, and immediately ran back to modern times to make the final preparations for the plan. Jiang Cheng received a very grand reception as soon as he returned home, during this time he has been busy helping Yan'an transport arms, and finally transported the German batch of arms to Yan'an, but he didn't even care about the modern year, so he naturally wanted Jiang Cheng to take Jiang Cheng home so that he could distinguish himself from Sun Ning.

Jiang Cheng pretended to rub the painful place where he was pinched, and hugged Yu Na and said, "Don't be angry, I can't help it, it's too much urging over there, okay, let's get married this time after we are busy?" ”

Tie the knot? Yu Na suddenly jumped up when she heard this, "Who, who is going to marry you?" I haven't agreed yet. ”

Seeing that Yu Na remembered jumping up and down, Jiang Cheng couldn't help laughing, "If you're not in a hurry, don't tie it first, say it yourself, will it be knotted or not?" ”

Yu Na slowly calmed down, and said with some hesitation, "Ah Cheng, we are married, what should Sister Sun Ning do?" She's your woman, too. We have an agreement, we can't sneak away, you wait for me to discuss it with her. ”

So what the hell did these two people talk about?

Jiang Cheng didn't know whether he should feel happy or anything, so he could only say, "Then you can discuss it yourself, my work over there hasn't been finished yet, I'll go out first." ”

said that he was going out, but Jiang Cheng turned around and walked into Zifeng's house.

Zifeng poured a cup of tea for Jiang Cheng with a courteous face, and also gave a cake, and the fox smile that seemed to see a rabbit made Jiang Cheng have goosebumps.

"That, Zifeng, just say what you have, when will that General Chen come?" Jiang Cheng didn't even dare to drink the tea, so he asked.

Zifeng smiled, "Don't worry, soon, come on." Eat some. ”

"Don't eat"

"It's okay to eat something"

"Not hungry"

"Do you even eat or not?"

"Kill or eat"

"Big brother is not good, come!! Let the little sister feed you!! ”

"Wow, why are you still hard plugged?"

Chen Guoming blinked, looked at the two people rolling around on the ground, scratched his face and said, "That seems to have disturbed the two of you, I'll come back later." ”

Jiang Cheng immediately stood up and shouted, "Don't, it's good now, stop!" Woo woo. Jiang Cheng's mouth was still stuffed with the taste of a piece of cake, and Jiang Cheng felt like he saw heaven.

"Ahh He also said that the eldest brother has meritorious service to the country, and he wants to be kind to you. Zifeng said with some embarrassment.

Are you sure you don't want to poison me? Jiang Cheng poured a few sips of cold water and said to Chen Guoming, "General Chen, I have an order for weapons to buy, and I want to do it as quickly as possible." ”

Chen Guoming smiled, "Okay, just say it." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I want two hundred 52 unseated rear guns, another 20 million rounds of ammunition and 100,000 anti-infantry mines, and 5,000 anti-tank mines, by the way, only the kind of plastic shell." ”

Chen Guoming was stunned. smiled and said, "What, is anyone trying to trouble you?" Would you like us to help? ”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I don't need this, thank you, but the time is fast." You and Ying Tianlin discuss how to distribute it. ”

Chen Guoming thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of where the war was going on now, so he could only give up and say, "The things you provided to the country last time are very valuable, and the organization says that it wants to thank you, and the things you asked for this time are not very expensive." I don't want your money, and in addition, we will give you twenty more 107 rocket launchers with the same amount of ammunition as last time and two hundred Type 56 quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns. Each door will give you 10,000 rounds of ammunition, plus another 3,000 rounds of special ammunition, in fact, I want to give you anti-aircraft missiles, I don't know if you want it. ”

Jiang Cheng knew that this was because of the invisible dye given to the country last time, the value of this material to the country was not more than hundreds of millions, and the country was a little worried about this thing, so he didn't bother to explain, and said with a smile, "No need, it's good just what you said, then you give me what missiles, I won't use it, so be it, please give it to me as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Jiang Cheng turned around and left and came to the company, seeing Jiang Cheng's menacing appearance, Sun Ning knew that Bacheng was in trouble again, and after explaining a few words, he came in and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Buy a large amount of Shuangkuai cement immediately, if you want a large amount, buy 50,000 tons first, and I will come back in two days to get it." ”

Sun Ning nodded and said, "This is easy to do, the cement is in excess of demand, and it can all be delivered to the warehouse within three days." By the way, the price of the drug you asked me to buy last time really went up sharply, and we were about to make a profit. ”

Jiang Cheng was not surprised by this result at all and said, "This is a must, and then prepare supporting sand, steel bars and other materials." ”

After arranging Sun Ning, Jiang Cheng called Kou Kou again, "Kou Kou, help me prepare 3,000 radio stations, yes, it's the kind that your brother gave me before, it's okay, the more the merrier, that's it." ”

Jiang Cheng then rushed to send a large amount of food and medicine directly to Yan'an.

-- Yan'an

Xiang Ying was stunned in the room looking at the light of the kerosene lamp in front of him, his thoughts were still in today's shock for a long time, the spectacle of the red molten iron baked, the magic production line of the arsenal, the box of bullets in the bullet factory, the advanced agricultural base, the huge university town, the underground secret experimental base, the overseas Chinese and even foreigners with strange accents gathered together, and countless students were desperately learning the knowledge of science and engineering, law and tax management, All of this means that Yan'an in the north seems to be a hatching egg, and the day it shatters is the day the dragon ascends to heaven.

How did all this happen, and was that man God? No, I am a member of the Red Party, how can I have such an idea, this must be scientifically reasonable, and I must think about it.

Xiang Ying stood up anxiously, he also controlled an army in the south and vigorously developed, but why was the gap so big? At first, he felt that his equipment should be the best in the Red Party army, and he was ready to discuss with the Central Committee after the meeting and give the Central Committee a little gun as support. But now it seems that his own ideas are simply a joke, why the north can develop so well.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Ying understood. sighed in his heart, "It's good to still have your own base, you can produce by yourself, collect taxes by yourself, recruit troops by yourself, the New Fourth Army is in the south, and there are either devils or white parties around, where can you do it." ”

At this time, the door buckle rang, and Xiang Ying hurriedly opened the door. At first glance, it was Zhou Guansheng.

Xiang Ying hurriedly said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, why are you here?" Hurry forward. ”

Zhou Guansheng took Xiang Ying's hand and sat down and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to think about it, how about it?" Isn't it a lot of excitement today? Do you think that the reason why your slow development in the south is caused by the environment? ”

Xiang Ying was said to be in her heart, nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, I don't mean anything else, isn't this anxious when I see that my comrades are developing well?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a straight face: "Comrade Xiang Ying. First of all, I want to tell you that the development of Yan'an does not rely entirely on itself, a large part of it depends on the support of overseas Chinese, and second. You said that the environment of the New Fourth Army was not good, but how good was the environment in Yan'an at the beginning? When we first entered Shanxi, Yan Xishan didn't even want to give us food, and the people didn't trust us. What now? Do you remember the points I made when I came to talk to you? Come, first tell me what is the current record of the New Fourth Army? ”

Speaking of the achievements, Xiang Ying raised his head and smiled, "Our New Fourth Army doesn't say anything else. In the first five months alone, we fought 113 battles, large and small, and captured more than 4,000 rifles, and in early September, we even reached Jinling Gate, about five miles south of Nanjing. It wasn't until the devils sent out 20 tanks that we retreated, and the team grew rapidly, and now it has reached more than 45,000 people after the losses in the battle. Xiang Ying said, shook his head and said, "However, we have no source of finance and taxation, and Chongqing's allocation is only enough for food and some equipment." We raise our own budgets for political work, field and rear hospitals, education, etc. The number of contributions in this regard is extremely limited. And a lot of the people who came to defect, some of them were from the White Party's troops, and we couldn't accept them, and the other part of the people didn't come from the areas of Chongqing where we were allowed to accept troops, so the expansion of the troops slowed down like this. ”

Zhou Guansheng looked at Xiang Ying, and he didn't know whether to praise this good baby or hate the goodness of iron, so he could only say, "What you did is very right, and it is very wrong, since it is an anti-Japanese united front, where is there a way to push the people who come to fight devils out, in the future, as long as such a person is confirmed that he is not a spy and has ulterior motives, he can accept it, as for the money, you don't need to worry, I will arrange someone to send it to you, but can you guarantee to completely obey any order of the central government?" ”

As if insulted, Xiang Ying stood up and said, "I, Xiang Ying, have always been in the center, and there is absolutely no second heart, this heart is clear every day!" ”

Zhou Guansheng laughed and said, "Come on, my Xiang Wumu, then I will put forward the first order on behalf of the Central Committee, you go back this time, find Ye Ting first, get drunk with him, and have a good talk, do you know that you and General Ye Ting have a discordant relationship, and Chairman Mao and I are heartbroken in Yan'an." Let me make it clear to you, this is a political figure, if I hear the news of your feud with General Ye Ting in Yan'an again, I will personally go to you to practice my Bagua Boxing. ”

Xiang Ying shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't don't, who in the army doesn't know, I'm afraid there are few opponents in the entire army who are your opponents." ”

Zhou Guansheng took a breath and stood up and said, "A military meeting will be held in two days, you listen more and talk less, there are many things in the north that you don't know, not to hide from you, but to hide from the enemy, I hope you can understand." ”

Xiang Ying hurriedly said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, don't worry, I understand the reason." ”

Zhou Guansheng walked out of the door with confidence, turned around and came to Chairman Mao's cave, Chairman Mao was wearing a coat, constantly writing something, and Mr. Zhu was also talking about something.

Seeing Zhou Guansheng, Chairman Mao hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Zhou Guansheng hurriedly said, "Chairman, rest assured, Xiang Ying is not a stubborn person, he also has his own hardships in the south." ”

Chairman Mao shook his head and said with a smile, "If he is not stubborn, no one will be stubborn, it's just a matter of making sense, as for the issue of money and food for the New Fourth Army, as we said at the beginning, after the battle begins, there is no need to hide it anymore." When the time comes, let Xiao Jiang support the New Fourth Army. For such a long time, it has also suffered from the side of the New Fourth Army. ”

Zhou Guansheng said hehehe, "I'm really looking forward to it, is the time set?" ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "It's decided, today is November 8th, and it's set for December 1st." Time is running out. Give the troops and ginger some time to prepare. ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Then it's decided." ”

- The next day

Wang Ming saw that even Xiang Ying had turned to the other side, and finally gave up waiting for death, so he decided to follow the allusion of Shen Sheng who was in danger at home and was at peace outside, and went to Xinjiang, which was closer to the Soviet Union, to take charge of the united front work, on the one hand, also in order to get the support of the Soviet Union, ready to make a comeback at any time. When Jiang Cheng heard the news, he was happy that this immortal had finally left, but he was worried about whether Wang Ming's presence in Xinjiang would interfere with his future plans, but no matter what. That's all for later.

In the conference room, Jiang Cheng sat in a corner, and all the bigwigs of the army were present, and they also knew Jiang Cheng's status, so no one said anything.

When Mr. Zhu saw that everyone was gathered, he waved his hand to close the door, and said with a big change in his face, "Comrades, the next words are the top secret of our party and our army. The leaker will be punished with the most severe punishment, do you hear clearly? ”

Everyone didn't dare to laugh anymore and listened carefully to Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu opened the map hanging on the wall with a loud bang and said, "Comrades, more than a year has passed since the July 7 Incident. A large area of our territory in China was occupied by the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese army has reached its limit to this day, especially the Battle of Wuhan, which is even more painful. According to intelligence, the number of casualties and sick people of the Japanese army was not under 200,000, plus what security forces. As high as 300,000, the Japanese army's offensive capability has been basically lost, and the national army on the frontal battlefield has also lost more than half, and most of the elite troops before the war have been exhausted, and they are unable to counterattack.

In the small environment, Shanxi has the 20th, 109th, and 108th divisions of the Japanese army plus 62 regiments of the puppet army, and there are also one or two divisions in other provinces.

After a year of continuous development and growth, the regular strength of the three divisions plus the Shanxi New Army has exceeded 450,000, and the militia is close to 200,000. The main reason for this is that we have formed a set of extremely effective methods for building base areas, so that we can mobilize local people to join our army everywhere we go, and the strength of our army has also met the requirements of our next strategic change. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Liu Bocheng stood up and said, "It is certain that the combat effectiveness of the recruits in the army is insufficient, but as long as they follow in three or four months, the combat effectiveness will be six or seven percent of that of the veterans, and it will be useful." ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Now I will talk about our next battle plan, the plan code name - Candle Dragon!" The plan will be issued after the meeting, and I will briefly say that the goal of the plan is to completely wipe out all the Japanese troops in Shanxi within three months, turn Shanxi into a base area for our army, and recapture all the big cities in Shanxi. ”

"This can't be!!" Lin Sanhu immediately stood up and shouted, "Half of our army's strength is outside Shanxi Province, and the available regular troops in Shanxi Province are only 200,000. These forces have no problem fighting a movement war with the current Japanese army, but it is too optimistic to destroy the Japanese army. ”

Chairman Mao said unhappily, "Wait for Mr. Zhu to finish speaking, and then the others will express their opinions." ”

Mr. Zhu continued, "We not only want to use the troops in Shanxi, but also the troops in other places must move, and we will also force Yan Xishan to move, indeed, the Japanese army in Shanxi alone has three divisions, and it is a first-class division and two second-class divisions with a total of 80,000 people, and the puppet army is also more than 100,000 people, it can be said that the number is about the same as ours, and considering the gap in combat strength, the puppet army is worse than us, and the Japanese army is much better than us. The Japanese army is scattered in various strongholds, they are scattered, we can concentrate, this has formed some areas to fight more and less, moreover, our army has received a large amount of advanced equipment during this time, I will sell it here first, all in all, everyone must have the confidence and determination to win, of course, in order to deal with the elite units of the Japanese army and future battles, we have to reorganize the various units.
