As the intensity of the four main divisions became more and more intense, the combat effectiveness of each regiment and battalion became stronger and stronger, and the militia in each village learned to use mines, and each village stored important materials and grain in tunnels and caves, and carried out simple fortified wall clearing, and the arsenal also worked overtime again to produce more than thousands of mines within a month, and under the order of Meng Qingshan, the arsenal used all the gunpowder in the stockpile, and once again produced thousands of explosive packs for the troops. And together with the production of dozens of electric detonation devices, at the same time, the three garrison divisions in the base area were also armed, except that they had not fought any war, and they were no different from the main force, looking at the base area that was becoming more and more fully prepared, Meng Qingshan looked forward more and more to the upcoming anti-encirclement and suppression.

Meng Qingshan looked forward to it, and the Japanese army seemed to be unable to bear it, with the resurgence of the anti-Japanese guerrillas and anti-Manchu forces, destroying the strongholds and pioneering regiments built by the Japanese army everywhere, in order to eliminate the banner of anti-Manchurianism in the northeast, the Japanese Kwantung Army slowly began to draw troops from all over the country, a brigade, a wing slowly wanted to assemble at a predetermined location, and the entire North Manchurian region was like a powder magazine, a powder magazine that would explode as soon as it was introduced.

In the evening, after dinner, Meng Qingshan still sat in front of the topographic map of Beimanchu and was familiar with the map.

Just as Meng Qingshan was thinking about where the Japanese army would send troops and fell into deep thought, an exclamation came into his ears, Meng Qingshan looked out of the door, and saw Yang Jingyu walking towards the headquarters with a telegram with an angry expression.

"Old Meng, something happened?" Yang Jingyu said eagerly.

"What happened to Lao Yang?"

"Lao Zhou was detained by the people of Jiangbei."

"What? How can it be? Isn't it good to negotiate in advance? ”

"I guess it's that group of old Maozi repented, thinking that they had both talents, and detained Lao Zhou, what I'm most worried about now is that if they detain Lao Zhou for a few years like Shangzhi, will Lao Zhou's body and bones be able to stand it? I heard that they are still engaged in purging. ”

"Lao Yang, don't be so pessimistic. I think there must be something going on in the Soviet Union, if he really dares to detain Lao Zhou, I will gather troops to do him, and let him know that our anti-Japanese alliance is not easy to provoke. ”

Just as Meng Qingshan and Yang Jingyu were discussing the sudden seizure of Zhou Baozhong by the Soviet Union, another exclamation came into his ears, and Meng Qingshan looked out the door. I saw that Cui Shiquan also had a telegram in his hand and hurriedly ran towards the headquarters.

"Shiquan, what are you?"

"Commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Yang, the little devil has sent troops, according to the comrades lurking in Fengtian codenamed Yizhimei, they sent us the latest developments of the Japanese army, the Japanese army swept us up this time to form more than tens of thousands of troops, respectively by the enemy's first division, fourth division, ninth division and the twenty-ninth division that has just been formed, of which the twenty-ninth division is all composed of Japanese recruits, and the combat effectiveness is not high, and the remaining three divisions and regiments each send a part of the troops."

After listening to the chief of staff's words, Meng Qingshan took the telegram and read it carefully. Slowly, Meng Qingshan's brows tightened, he didn't expect the Japanese army to look up to himself so much, and he actually used tens of thousands of troops to focus on encircling and suppressing himself and destroying himself, so it seems that the Japanese army wants to solve itself once and for all or completely.

After reading it, Meng Qingshan handed the telegram to Yang Jingyu and said with a smile: "Old Yang, it seems that our big brother of the Soviet Union must also know the news, and specially sent troops to protect the safety of the commander-in-chief and materials, we must thank him well in the future." ”

Listening to Meng Qingshan's tone, he knew that Meng Qingshan was very angry now. Yang Jingyu was silent for a moment and asked: "Old Meng, the little devil really looks at us, we actually dispatched so many Japanese puppet troops at one time, and this is the first time we have fought face-to-face with the Japanese army." If we win, we can firmly take root here, and if we fail, we will have to hide in the mountains and continue to fight guerrilla warfare with them. ”

"Lao Yang's four-way army is actually the second road for us, and the fourth division can let the third military region contain them, the first division of the Japanese army was just crippled by us not long ago, and now it can send less than one wing at most. You can let the First Division deal with him, as for Zhalantun and Heihe Fortress, you can let the First Military Region send troops to attack their rear and force them to return to the army to rescue, you must know that Heihe Fortress is the most important defense line of the Japanese army, once the Japanese army loses it, it will go crazy, and now our main opponent is this 29th Division. ”

"Old Meng. The Third Military Region has just been formed, can it really contain the Japanese Fourth Division? ”

"Yes! The commander-in-chief's strength of the Third Military Region had just been formed, and not long ago it was sabotaged by the Japanese puppet army, with several companies suffering casualties. ”

After hearing the news, Meng Qingshan frowned, thought for a while and asked Cui Shiquan: "Shiquan, you go and send a telegram to Commander Chai of the Third Military Region, asking them if they can contain the strength of the Fourth Division of the Devil and make it impossible for them to reach the North Manchurian base area, and ask them if they need to send troops to help." ”

"Okay, I'll send a report to the Third Military Region and the First Military Region to ask about the situation." After saying that, he turned around and left the headquarters, but it didn't take long for him to return to the headquarters again.

"Commander-in-chief, Commander Chai's reply was very fast, he said that they promised to complete the task, but they lacked some ammunition and needed support from the headquarters, Commander Wang called back to ensure that the task was completed, please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief." Chief of Staff Cui excitedly told Meng Qingshan, who was frowning, about the inquiry.

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, Meng Qingshan finally put his mind at ease, as long as he could delay the offensive pace of the two devils, the remaining devils would be within the scope of his calculations.

"Chief of Staff, you immediately order Ji Qing of the Logistics Department to let him allocate 500 mines, 10,000 grenades, 200,000 bullets, and 1,000 mortar shells, and let the Logistics Department send a company of troops to escort them and hand them over to the Third Military Region that came to meet them, and execute them immediately, the devil has not much time left for us." Meng Qingshan immediately ordered.

"Lao Li, you immediately issued a combat readiness order to the entire base area, first asking the militia in each village to assist the villagers in clearing the fortified walls, so that all the people can hide in the mountains and wait for news, and forcibly transfer some villagers who are unwilling to transfer; Second, the militia of all villages is required to immediately dispatch a certain number of guard posts and patrols to check all suspicious persons in the base areas, and pay special attention to the sabotage of the base areas by devil agents; third, all the main forces of training should stop training, let them rest and recuperate, and the combat tasks will be immediately assigned and wait for orders; fourth, the garrison divisions and regiments should be well prepared for battle, assist the militia of each village in the defense of the villages, and lay mines to fill in the wells after the villagers have completely moved. After entering the base area, the devils are required to have no food and no water. Fifth, the guerrillas in various localities were ordered to actively attack the Japanese transport vehicles and cooperate with the main forces. Meng Qingshan gave five orders in one breath before stopping.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Li Yanping, who had just been recruited, immediately replied.

After the chief of staff went out to explain the tasks assigned by Meng Qingshan, Meng Qingshan, Yang Jingyu, and Wei Zhengmin came to the sand table and began to seriously study the headquarters on the Japanese army's offensive road map, attack time, and surrounding terrain, and prepared to find loopholes in the combat plan and powerful fighters.

In order to be able to complete your battle plan quickly, and at the same time brainstorm. Meng Qingshan summoned all the personnel in the headquarters, all of them gathered next to the sand table, and marked out the enemy's troop deployment and marching route one by one. Because the Heihe Fortress is less than thirty miles away from the base area, there is only one road leading from the Heihe River here, according to the Japanese army's marching degree, it takes at least two days, and it is very difficult to walk along the twists and turns, and most of the area is in the deep mountains, plus the Heihe Fortress has to guard against the Soviet army opposite, so it can only send about one wing. ”

Looking at the march route of the Heihe River to the headquarters, Meng Qingshan drew a large circle on the name of this mysterious unit.

The staff officers and headquarters personnel next to them saw Meng Qingshan's movements, and they all understood what Meng Qingshan meant, it turned out that the commander-in-chief wanted to use this wing to open the knife, and everyone who understood it immediately formulated a battle plan according to Meng Qingshan's meaning.

It was not until midnight that after discussion and study by everyone, a complete detailed battle plan was completed. After reading the entire battle plan, Meng Qingshan nodded with satisfaction. (To be continued......)
