When Qiao Youhua rode to the east gate of Luquan, the soldiers guarding the city recognized him and stood up and saluted: "Regiment commander!" ”

Qiao Youhua waved his hand at them, then rode into the city and went straight to the outside of the regiment headquarters.

A group of soldiers of the guard company guarding outside the compound of the regiment headquarters were overjoyed and straightened up one after another to salute and greet them.

Chen Bing, the deputy company commander in the courtyard, also heard the news and walked out, and saluted Qiao Youhua in surprise: "Regiment commander, why are you back?" ”

Qiao Youhua turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "What, you don't want me to come back?" ”

Chen Bing felt that he had made a mistake in speaking, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that......"

Qiao Youhua smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I understand, what about the first battalion commander?" ”

"It's all going to be in there, and the political commissar is too." Chen Bing said.

Qiao Youhua nodded, and just wanted to step inside, when suddenly several people walked out of the regimental headquarters combat conference room one after another, Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao, Liu Yidao, Sun Dahai, Zhou Dasheng and Zheng Yunshan were all there.

Political Commissar Guo Meng walked out last, looking at Qiao Youhua's eyes full of joy and shyness, and the complex psychology led her to stop behind everyone.

"Head, Dragon King, Regimental Seat, Regiment Leader! It's great that you're back. Everyone saluted, and then rushed over in a swarm, gossiping.

Qiao Youhua shook hands with them one by one, and after greeting them, everyone noticed that Qiao Youhua's eyes had been on Guo Meng, who seemed to be ignored.

Everyone flashed to the side, out of the way, and Guo Meng walked forward.

"You're back?" Guo Meng was a little overwhelmed, and looked at Qiao Youhua's face with a red face, which was darker than before.

"Hmm." Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "Why did you go down the mountain, how is the injury?" ”

"Much better." Guo Meng was concerned about his injury when he saw Qiao Youhua exiting, and his heart was warm and sweet, and he said solemnly: "It's been hard all the way, don't stand outside, hurry up and go into the house to rest." ”

Qiao Youhua could see that although Guo Meng had already gotten out of bed and walked, his face was still a little paler than before, but it was not good to say anything more in front of his subordinates, which would only make the two of them very embarrassed, so he nodded and took the lead towards the combat conference room.

Guo Meng, Jiang Haidong and others followed in.

Zheng Yunshan poured a glass of boiled water for Jiang Haidong and sent it to his seat, and then stood behind Qiao Youhua with his hands in his hands, and the deputy company commander Chen Bing did not enter the conference room, he was responsible for the security and security work of the entire regiment headquarters.

Qiao Youhua looked at the battle map on the conference table, and asked curiously, "What did you discuss before?" ”

Jiang Haidong said with a smile: "It's about some trivial matters about the construction of the fortifications of the outer towns such as Magou and Erdaogouzi. ”

Qiao Youhua took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Speaking of fortifications, it reminds me of the underground tunnels in Luquan County, how is the progress fast these days?" ”

Ma Biao smiled and said: "It's much faster, when the political commissar came down from the mountain a few days ago, he mobilized thousands of people on the mountain, in addition, tens of thousands of people in the city were also mobilized, under the leadership of the political commissar, from the city, outside the city at the same time, the project has been completed for the most part, and soon the city and outside the city will be connected to each other, connected together." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded with satisfaction, and cast an appreciative look at Guo Meng, saying in his heart that he was a political commissar at any time, but he did a very good job in political work, and it was not at all comparable to himself and Jiang Haidong, who were only good at military affairs.

Jiang Haidong continued: "The outer defense line is basically built, but they are all ground fortifications, what we are just discussing is whether to build underground tunnel fortifications in Magou and Erdaogou, and make these two forward defense support points for iron fighting." It's just so that you're back, so it's up to you to decide. ”

Qiao Youhua put away his smile when he heard this, building an underground tunnel in Luquan County is completely different from building an underground tunnel in a peripheral town, because the county town will definitely have to make the last defense, and the two peripheral strongholds of Erdaogouzi and Magou Town can be given up if necessary.

At least before, Qiao Youhua's combat plan was like this, but now with the increase of people in Luquan County, it is best not to start a war in Luquan County as much as possible, and the battle under the city is the most difficult to fight! The losses are also huge, and that's a way of playing that you won't choose unless you have to.

However, the construction of the fortifications of the county seat has consumed a huge amount of financial, material and manpower resources of the Luquan County and the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and then going to the two peripheral towns to follow suit and build underground tunnels will inevitably require more manpower, material and financial resources.

Once it is decided to operate the two towns as the main defense line on the periphery, it is necessary to upgrade and strengthen the fortifications of the two places in an all-round way, and integrate the ground and underground.

In fact, the amount of work required is not smaller than that of Luquan County, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two are that when building fortifications in Luquan County, the people can work for you at the door of their homes, and they can solve the problem of food, and housing by themselves, which greatly reduces the logistical burden of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force.

The situation in Erdaogouzi and Magou Town is different, where is not only adjacent to the Japanese war zone, but also dozens of miles away from the county seat, it is naturally impossible for the people to go back and forth every day, so food, housing, this qiē must be properly arranged.

And all they need is money, so Guo Meng and Jiang Haidong will feel worried and discuss together.

If it was before, Qiao Youhua would also feel powerless, so he had to give up the idea of operating in the strongholds of the outer towns, and only use it as a forward defensive position, delaying the Japanese army's attack, and finally taking Luquan County as the main battlefield, relying on Luquan and Feiyunling to drag down the Japanese army.

However, this time he went to Tianjin, although Qiao Youhua had not yet obtained the technical equipment taken by the arsenal, he also earned more than 100 million silver dollars and made a windfall.

Since ancient times, money can make ghosts grind, so it makes it possible to build two ditches and underground fortifications in Magou Town.

"Since ancient times, the construction of large-scale construction is a matter of labor and wealth and injury to the people, if it really can't work, we will give up, concentrate manpower and material resources to operate Luquan and Feiyunling base areas, if necessary, let the people of Luquan retreat to Feiyunling, with Erdaogouzi, Magou Town and other places as the peripheral forward positions, Luquan is the second line of defense, Feiyunling is the third line of defense, and the resistance to the Japanese invaders is still able to persevere." Guo Meng saw Qiao Youhua in deep thought and spoke.

Jiang Haidong and the others also thought that what Guo Meng said was reasonable, after all, during this period of time, they were recruiting new soldiers, expanding troops, and settling the people to relocate, and the family resources accumulated by their Dragon Tooth Task Force before were almost exhausted, and they really couldn't withstand a big toss.

"Repair, who said not to repair! Money is not a problem, how much you want! Qiao Youhua suddenly slapped the table and said.
