On the target plane, at this time, Wang Fan had been away for more than a month (delayed in the main plane for half a month), and the situation in the northwest of the entire Yanhuang Continent had undergone major changes.

Twenty days ago, that is, in early July 1943, the Dong Army of the Japanese Kouguan, which had finally assembled and was fully assembled, launched a surprise attack on Mongolia, intending to realize the plan of attacking the Soviet-Mongolian border and sabotaging the Soviet Union's Trans-Siberian Railway.

At the beginning of the battle, the advance of the Guan Dong Army was very smooth, and the unprepared Menggu Defense Army was completely vulnerable and collapsed under the attack of the well-prepared Guan Dong Army. By 12 o'clock in the morning of the third day, the vanguard of the Guandong army had arrived less than 100 miles from the Soviet-Mongolian border, and the whole battle situation was extremely smooth. However, on the other hand, the attack on Shaanxi by the Yanhuang Dispatch Army was relatively lagging behind, and it only advanced a few dozen kilometers, which was the result of the intention of the Yanhuang Red Party, who knew the true intentions of the Waikos, to release water, otherwise the Wai Kou Dispatch Army that broke into Shaanxi would have been wiped out by the Red Party army that was waiting for work.

On July 11, the Yanhuang Bald Party took advantage of the fact that the Japanese sent troops to attack Shaanxi, and there was no time to take care of anything else, and mobilized their elite troops to launch a campaign to recover Yichang.

On July 15, the army of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, which had been attacking Shaanxi for a week, lost all its vigor, and the three main columns of the Yanhuang Red Party were waiting for work and launched a comprehensive counterattack. In just two days, not only did they achieve the good result of destroying 100,000 enemies, but also in accordance with the plan that had already been formulated, they took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack into Shanxi, and for a time the Shanxi battlefield attracted the attention of the whole country.

On July 20th, after many days of fierce fighting, most of the remnants of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army who fled into Shanxi were surrounded or annihilated, a small number of them laid down their arms and raised their hands to surrender, and then those who were evacuated of troops, the strongholds of the devil county were conquered one by one, to 18 o'clock in the afternoon of July 25, the whole territory of Shanxi was declared to be recovered, after the news came out, the whole country celebrated, many Yanhuang people spontaneously set off firecrackers to celebrate, and the morale of the entire anti-Japanese war front was greatly boosted, of course, Chairman Jiang was quite depressed, there had just recovered a major town, The Red Party directly recovered the entire Shanxi Province, to paraphrase modern words, this is a naked slap in the face. According to the grapevine, for a whole night, the scolding of "Niang Xipi" in the mansion did not stop.

On July 28, seeing that the Yanhuanghong Party's offensive was far more fierce than imagined, and at the same time, he did not know that the Yanhuanghong Party's army had decided not to continue the strategic intention of attacking Henan for the time being, considering the lack of logistics and troops. On the one hand, it ordered the Japanese troops in the western region of Chahar to quickly retreat to the northeast and north China, and on the other hand, it concentrated its remaining forces and used machine guns and artillery to drive a large number of Yanhuang refugees from Henan, Hebei, and North China due to the natural disaster in 1942 to the direction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and in less than 10 days, the total number of people who entered Shanxi exceeded 20 million, and at the same time, the Japanese invaders launched a large number of newspapers and magazines secretly controlled. He reported on the current situation of the victims in Shanxi, and stood on the moral high ground and demanded that the Yanhuanghong Party must take good care of these victims. In this way, the strategic goal of using the flow of refugees to block the footsteps of the Yanhuanghong Party and using the mouths of refugees to eat down the logistics of the Yanhuanghong Party was achieved.

When Wang Fan returned, he was just in time for the Yanhuanghong Party to worry about the large influx of refugees. Shaanxi Yan'an Zaoyuan Central Secretariat small hall.

"Shaoqi, how many victims have entered Shanxi?" Lao Mao's eyes were a little red and he asked.

"At least more than 20 million, the preliminary estimate is between 23 million and 25 million!" Liu Shaoqi said with a sad face, "The little devil doesn't take our Yanhuang people as people, he used to want to enslave and rule us, so he still has a cruel bottom line for the people in the occupied area, this time they feel that the battle situation is critical, the Jinjing area is empty, and they even wantonly drove the people into the territory of Shanxi that our army just occupied, and the people will shoot machine guns if they resist a little!" ”

"Damn, now most of our troops are used to contain the people and maintain law and order in Shanxi, besides, Shanxi has just been recovered, and many places still need troops to maintain law and order and suppress bandits, otherwise once we continue to attack Henan, Hebei, Jinjing and other places, the security of logistics cannot be guaranteed!" Mr. Zhu interjected.

"How long will it take to complete the collection of all the people and complete the reorganization of the troops?" Lao Mao asked.

"It is estimated that it will take about 1 month!" did not participate in the counteroffensive, said Nie Shuai, commander of the 6th Column, which was responsible for defending Shaanxi.

"1 month? It seems that the little devil's plan is to grab 1 month to regroup his troops! Zhou Eni, who is in charge of internal affairs, said, "We still have about 3 million tons of grain in our army, which Comrade Wang Fan left us behind, and it was originally calculated according to the 700,000 regular troops and 800,000 militia at the end of the year, and there was no problem in supporting it for 2 or 3 years. ”

"The food problem can be solved in two ways, one I estimate that Wang Fan will come back soon, he has a lot of methods, and the other is that this time we have recovered Shanxi, many landlords and widows have retreated and have not had time to destroy the warehouse, there is still a lot of grain in stock, and if they are added together, they can support a lot of time..."

"Report!" Just as Lao Mao was talking about countermeasures, the voice of the guards sounded outside, "Chiefs, Comrade Wang Fan has arrived!" ”

"Oh~~ Haha, great, I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here!" After everyone heard that Comrade Xiao Wang was back, for some reason, a stone in their hearts suddenly felt like it had fallen to the ground.

Five minutes later.

"I can't imagine that so many and such big things have happened during my absence!" Sitting on the chair, after listening to Mr. Zhu say many things that have happened recently, Wang Fan sighed.

"Wang Fan, can you solve the food problem?" Zhou Eni, who has always been concerned about the issue of rations for the victims, asked.

"Don't worry, I brought some more this time, plus the 5 million tons of grain that will arrive one after another in the future, there should be no problem!"

"Really?"

"Really, I promise!"

"Great! This saves a little use, enough to support this year's autumn harvest! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea!" Wang Fan nodded to the future Premier Zhou and then said.

"If there's something, just say it!" Old Mao said.

"In fact, these more than 20 million victims of the disaster will become a burden to us, but I think they are actually our wealth!" Wang Fan said with a slight accent.

"Huh? How? Everyone was intrigued by Wang Fan's point of view and asked.

"Since we now have the ability to feed these people, and not only can we feed them, but also raise them well, not to mention the gruel, if the combination is good, there is no problem with the Wowotou steamed buns. In this way, the addition of more than 20 million new troops has completely greatly enhanced the war potential of our base areas, a while ago it was limited to the territory and population base, and the expansion of our regular army to 600,000 is the limit, and any more will affect many daily production operations in the base areas, and now, there are more than 20 million people, according to 20 to 1, you can storm 1 million soldiers, in addition, many of them should have a skill, such as carpenters, bricklayers, account offices, etc., the worst will also farm, and at the same time after we recover ShanxiThere are many factories and workers, so we can take Shaanxi, Shanxi, and some areas of Chahar as the core, carry out counteroffensives, construction, and development, expand the troops on a large scale to 2 million, build factories in large quantities to achieve local production of materials, and start to build a modern new countryside while cultivating the working class, and finally find the right opportunity to expand Menggu and Jinsui provinces to reach 5 provinces, and then recover North China and Northeast China in one go, and lay the foundation for the war situation in the north! Wang Fan said while thinking.

"It's good to go on the counteroffensive, build on the side, and develop at the same time, but can you solve those equipment and raw materials?" Liu Shaoqi asked.

"It should be no problem, I brought a large number of equipment this time, and I can find a suitable location to build a factory, but before that, I think the recovery of Jinsui Province is easy to do, Menggu, Lao Maozi hasn't spit out yet?" Wang Fan asked.

"It's coming, the Soviet Union has been sending us more and more frequent telegrams recently, urging us to suspend the counteroffensive and wave our troops to the north to aid Menggu!" Lao Mao took a puff of his cigarette and said lightly.

"Oh~~ Then did we agree?" After Wang Fan heard this, he asked with interest.

"How can it be so happy, we called back and said that the independence of Mongolia has not been recognized by Yan Huang, and now if we raise the banner of aiding Menggu, it will be recognized in disguise that the independence of Mongolia and Gu will lose the hearts of a large number of people, so only in the name of recovering the homeland can we counterattack, this point needs to be confirmed by the Soviet Union, after all, the independence of Mongolia and Gu was also done in accordance with some of the ideas and intentions of the Soviet Union, and we can't make it too difficult for the eldest brother to do it, right? Ha ha! Xu stayed with Wang Fan for a long time, and Mr. Zhu suddenly came out of his mouth words such as the eldest brother and younger brother of the underworld in later generations.

"The Soviet Union is still holding on and has not agreed?" Wang Fan asked.

"Soon, the sparrow sent intelligence, the Guan Dong army of the Japanese has broken through the Soviet army's defense line on the Soviet-Mongolian border and advanced to the Trans-Siberian Railway, although because of the lag and loss caused by the attack all the way, the loss of the little devil's troops and equipment is also quite serious, but it is much better than the Soviet Union." Lao Mao followed.

"In this case, then I should make some preliminary preparations for the recovery of Menggu, uncles and uncles, I need your cooperation, I want to ......" Wang Fan was not polite, and brought together the plans in his heart for many days, and soon the eyes of the others lit up, put forward their own opinions and ideas, and supplemented and improved, and the discussion in the auditorium continued until late at night.

The next day, under the personal command of Nie Shuai of the 6th Column, the officers and men of the 6th Column blocked a series of traffic arteries to carry out a guard, and at the same time asked all soldiers and officers not to panic no matter what sound they heard, and only needed to ensure that no one entered the martial law area.

From the second night to the fourth night, everything was normal during the day, and at night there was an unconscious sound of "ding" in the depths of the martial law zone, but all the soldiers on duty supervised each other to ensure that no one got up to investigate.

In the early morning of the fifth day, Nie Shuai, who received Wang Fan's news, led the guard platoon into the warning area, and after climbing over a mountain along a newly opened dirt road, he was greeted by a simple railway station, and the brand-new railroad tracks on the ground extended into the distance. It turned out that in the past few nights, Wang Fan relied on the kernel to copy and produce Yadea design and manufacturing, specially used to lay the track of fully automatic machinery and equipment, it took a full 3 nights, thousands of machines and vehicles worked together, plus the plane ring to meet the mountains and mountains, to eliminate all terrain obstacles, although in order to avoid the crowd, the railway seems to be more detoured, but the total length of hundreds of kilometers of the railway was finally completed, connecting the Tongpu line between Yan'an and Baotou, and taking this as a starting point, on the one hand, it extends to the territory of Menggu, On the one hand, it took less than half a month to complete the real version of the construction of the Shaanxi railway network, not to mention the civil roads and country roads, and even under the cheating of the plane ring, several ultra-wide roads that were not originally available released the entire tank troops in the entire army base, and drove towards Shanxi.
