Chapter 459: Military Equipment
The slogan of 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops was originally a political slogan put forward by Chairman Chiang in 1944 to call on young intellectuals to join the army and serve the country, but now it has been plagiarized and borrowed by Qiao Youhua without any pressure.
Without him, because Qiao Youhua also needs young intellectuals to serve the country from the anti-Japanese base area of Longya, everyone knows that young intellectuals have the ability to make independent judgments, and their ability to learn and adapt to all kinds of modern new weapons and new things is far beyond the incomparable ability of ordinary big-headed soldiers.
In the future, Qiao Youhua will wantonly develop the military industry and industry in the base areas, and he will be even more indispensable to young intellectuals.
Therefore, he first used the news of the great victory to build momentum for himself and the Longya anti-Japanese base area, and when the people all over the country were cheering for their brilliant victory, he issued such an exciting call as an inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, and a hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand troops.
Many college students completely suspended their studies and went on strike, bid farewell to their teachers and parents, and embarked on the difficult road of serving the country with great enthusiasm.
Without exception, they were all taking all kinds of risks and rushing to the anti-Japanese base in Feiyunling.
In order to ensure that students from Pingjin, Baoding, Taiyuan, and other large and medium-sized cities in North China arrived safely in the anti-Japanese base areas, the underground organizations of the Eighth Route Army in various localities mobilized with all their might to provide all kinds of help to the intellectuals as much as possible in accordance with the instructions of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and Yan'an.
Qiao Youhua didn't know about these situations, and in the end, it was Guo Meng who sued him.
In view of Qiao Youhua's impulsive act of issuing a call for slogans without authorization, the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided after deliberation not to commend him for his combat exploits, and not to pursue the mistakes he made.
Qiao Youhua didn't plan to ask for any reward, it was their duty to shed their blood for the country and the nation, so they didn't care about it, but sighed, it's good to be organized, and secretly helped him solve such a big problem.
Otherwise, it is still unknown whether those intellectual youths will eventually be able to pass through the Japanese war zone and reach the Feiyunling anti-Japanese base area.
After learning that the Dragon's Tooth Task Force had once again won the victory against the encirclement and suppression, Wan Hu, who had already returned to Tianjin and had purchased radio stations and other equipment, sent a congratulatory message, and mentioned in the message that Billy Lavis had prepared equipment and a group of technicians for them, and they could leave for the base area at any time.
Wan Hu now has Qiao Youhua's millions of oceans, and he is also very rich in hand, not only for his subordinates to change a batch of more sophisticated equipment, but also to buy a radio station, Billy Lavis, the Englishman, for fear that Qiao Youhua will regret it, so in order to curry favor with Wan Hu, he provided Wan Hu with free communication personnel.
This greatly facilitated the contact between Qiao Youhua and Wan Hu, and after getting the news, Qiao Youhua was overjoyed and immediately called Wan Hu back and asked him to arrange for this batch of precious machines to be shipped back.
After Wan Hu received the order, he went to negotiate with Billy Lavis, and finally the two decided to take advantage of the privileges of the British in China to play a cover, and in the name of doing business, they took the canal and waterway to transport these planes and technicians to the Longya anti-Japanese base area.
Now that the strength of the Japanese army in North China has been greatly damaged, it is even more impossible to get involved in the canal and waterway in a short period of time, so now is the best time for the gangsters to smuggle and transport.
The base area of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force is also changing, and now the scope of the base area has expanded from one county in Luquan to four counties: Pingshan, Lingshou, and Zhengding.
In particular, in the three counties of Zhengding and Hepingshan and Luquan, the people who had originally relocated to Luquan have returned to their respective hometowns with the help of the Dragon Tooth Task Force of the Eighth Route Army, and have begun to organize the transformation and cultivation of the previously harvested land.
The base began to slowly recuperate, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
In addition, Qiao Youhua also launched a new recruitment operation against Lingshou, Pingshan County, and especially the vast area around Lingshou to supplement the losses of the Dragon Tooth Task Force in this battle.
After this battle, more than half of the strength of the current Dragon Tooth Task Force has been lost, and there are still more than 3,000 people left, of which more than half of the elite troops such as the first battalion of the guard company have been killed or wounded, and the reconnaissance company has all been killed!
However, the territory is several times larger than before, so it is urgent to expand to make up for the dilemma of insufficient troops.
In Luquan County, the regimental headquarters of the Dragon Tooth Task Force has not been moved for the time being, and with the expansion of the base area now, Luquan will become an important defensive town of the Dragon Tooth Task Force in the periphery in the future, and the headquarters will definitely move to the hinterland.
No, Qiao Youhua is discussing with political commissar Guo Meng that it is appropriate for the regiment headquarters to move to that county.
The two stood side by side, in front of a map of operations hanging from the wall, a map within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on the stone gate.
The eyes of the two are mainly on Luquan, Pingshan, and Zhengding.
"Political Commissar Guo, do you think it's better for our regiment headquarters to be located in that county?" Qiao Youhua smoked a cigarette and turned his head to ask.
Guo Meng stared at the map and pondered: "I think it's better to set up in Feiyunling, after all, this is the original base of our Dragon Tooth Task Force, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
After speaking, she looked at Qiao Youhua.
Qiao Youhua shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so, now our base area is not only limited to the small area of Feiyunling, but covers four counties, a vast area of hundreds of square kilometers, and hundreds of thousands of people.
We can no longer hide in the ravines for the sake of safety, because in the future, we will not only develop and build the base areas in an all-round way, but also prepare to build our own arsenals, and the people in the base areas will look at us, and we will be at peace with them, and vice versa. ”
Guo Mengdao: "Then where do you think our regiment headquarters should be located?" ”
Qiao Youhua patted the map and said, "This is it." ”
"Pingshan County?" Guo Meng said in surprise.
"Yes, it is Pingshan County, it is located in the west of Zhengding, south of Lingshou backed by the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, where I have seen the terrain, it is very suitable as the hinterland base camp of our base.
There are also several coal mines in Pingshan County, and the coal resources are very abundant, and we can also make use of them in the future development of our base areas. That's why I'm going to set up the regimental headquarters here. Qiao Youhua said.
"Well, what you say makes sense, so let's do it." Guo dreamed and nodded.
"By the way, how many weapons and ammunition have we captured in this victory?" Qiao Youhua suddenly remembered and asked.
Guo Meng turned around and walked to the conference room and took out a copy of the text and said: "This is the list of the trophies captured in this battle, I just finished counting, you can take a look." ”
