Mr. Zhu's face suddenly soothed, he also knew that Zhang Hao and Taizu had a long-term and deep friendship, although now because of the barrier of the Kuomintang region, they could not meet often, even if the phone was connected, they were afraid that the Kuomintang spies would listen to it, and the telegrams were basically occupied by military affairs, but there were still some letters or oral exchanges between each other occasionally. As for Taizu's idea of the People's War, he has long been convinced, and when he thinks about it, it seems that he should not be entangled in the problem of insufficient ammunition in the Eighth Route Army, and it is the right way to complete the militia system in the North China base area as soon as possible. In fact, the Eighth Route Army did not fight big battles like the 15 th Group Army, and the amount of equipment for automatic and semi-automatic rifles was far from being comparable with that of the 15 th Group Army, and the need for bullets was much less, and what was more urgently needed was artillery shells, but this year the 15 th Group Army carried out many large corps operations, and each time it was larger than the last, and the landlord's family had no surplus food!

"It is more convenient for the 15th Group Army to supply nearby, and they have indeed undertaken a heavy task this year, but our Eighth Route Army also has to fight a big battle, and it is not okay if there are not enough bullets and shells." , Mr. Peng, the actual commander of the Eighth Route Army, also shouted at this time, although he spoke openly and carefully, but if he chewed carefully, he could still feel the envy of the 15th Group Army backed by the industrial zone in western Henan.

"Lao Peng, don't worry, next year, the arsenals in the northwest will start to be put into production one after another, how about supplying the Eighth Route Army at that time? And now is also a good opportunity, 500,000 people of the Eighth Route Army went south to help the Central Plains border area fight, and Yuying is embarrassed to be an iron rooster, right? ”。 Taizu immediately comforted when he heard this, and by the way, he also made a joke to adjust the atmosphere.

"All the 500,000 field troops of the Eighth Route Army went south? What about the base areas in North China? The two leaders of the Eighth Route Army were shocked when they heard this.

"Some cities can be temporarily abandoned and the people can be diverted to clear the enemy's fortified walls, coupled with the attacks of local troops and militia guerrillas, although there are many Japanese troops in North China, the progress will not be too fast. When the Central Plains and Central China battlefields are decided, and then focus on Liliang to eliminate the Japanese army in North China, which has no more than 300,000 troops, it will be a matter of nine out of ten. The great man decided with a firm wave of his hand.

Isn't it supposed to be "persimmon picking soft pinch"? Weishenme put the Japanese army in North China, which was much weaker, and did not fight. But what about the first thing to destroy the powerful Japanese army in Central China? A leading comrade was puzzled.

After hearing this, the great man slapped the table and said, "The great principle is that this is true, but there is no absolute, and specific problems must be analyzed, and the current North China has become a chicken rib for the Japanese army, and there is no meat to eat and discard, if we launch a large-scale counteroffensive in North China, the Japanese army just has a reason to convince itself." They will definitely abandon all other cities and shrink their forces to Tianjin, relying on the protection of the navy. Even if the Eighth Route Army had a million soldiers, it still could not take it (Qingdao is too far away from Tianjin, and the overall strength of our air force is insufficient, and it is difficult to take care of both ends.) The Japanese army could draw hundreds of thousands, or even more than 200,000 troops, from the North China Front to support the Central China battlefield. In that case, our army in Central China will have 500,000 fewer people, while the Japanese army will have 200,000 more. It will certainly be difficult to stop the Japanese army from advancing westward, so it is inevitable that the industrial area in western Henan will suffer huge losses and even fall into the hands of the Japanese army, and such losses will be far greater than the benefits we can bring to recover some old cities in North China that are not industrially developed! ”

In addition, Taizu had just implicitly pointed out that after the main force of the Eighth Route Army went south, it would be able to obtain supplies from the arsenal in western Henan and improve some weapons and equipment, and if the comrades of the Central Plains Bureau agreed, the Eighth Route Army could even replenish those mobilized soldiers into the ranks, at least, it should not be a problem to replenish the part of the battle losses. As a result, the two leaders of the Eighth Route Army immediately changed their attitude and fully supported the strategic plan proposed by Taizu. After winning the support of the majority of the leading cadres of the Central Military Commission, this plan was naturally adopted, but some of the details had to be revised to a certain extent due to changes in the situation......

First of all, Hu Weidong didn't expect the great man to have such a big appetite. It was good to send all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army to support him, but at the same time it inevitably increased the logistical pressure on the Central Plains border region, so Hu Weidong had to reduce the scale of mobilization in the western Henan border area, reducing the original 600,000 people to 300,000. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, on the one hand, the negative impact on the economy of western Henan has been reduced a lot, on the other hand, there is no need to let the militia all use old-fashioned firearms training, at least the new backbone militia can continue to use the 38 type with small recoil when shooting, high accuracy, it is said that in the past few days, the 15th Group Army has captured no less than 100,000 38 rifles (of which no less than 30,000 are from the warehouse in Lianyungang City), compared to the more difficult to use crooked handles and infantry guns have also captured a lot, It's just that because the section of the Longhai Railway connecting Shandong and Henan is still under the control of devils, the transportation between the old border area in western Henan and the Shandong base area can only rely entirely on automobiles, so it is not easy to transport back the newly mobilized troops in western Henan......

Hu Weidong had long expected that after shelling Lianyungang with the seven ghost warships captured before, it would inevitably lead to a crazy attack by the HNA Army, the army aviation was to avenge the Japanese army in Lianyungang, and the HNA was to blow up and sink those ships captured by the Chinese, especially the two battleships to wash away the shame, but he did not expect that the devil would lose his mind, and when the air battle was defeated and the powerful anti-aircraft fire of the seven warships was fiercely counterattacked, he actually sent planes to bomb continuously, although he sank a destroyer, However, most of the planes of the Central China Dispatch Army were completely lost, so that even in a place far away from Qingdao, the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army Aviation Regiment basically lost air supremacy, and it can even be said that as long as it is within the combat radius of the Chinese fighters in the next period of time, the devil's planes will even have to sneak into the air......

Hu Weidong immediately ordered all the giant rollers in the Central Plains border area to be driven to the Lunan area immediately, and took advantage of the favorable conditions of dry weather after the onset of winter to take the risk of miraculously pressing out dozens of small field airfields in less than half a month at multiple locations only 100 kilometers away from the front line at that time......
