However, since Hu Weidong knew the lessons of history, he naturally would not make the same mistake, but he also knew very well that the future situation of the eastern Jidong base area would be difficult, so the leaders of the base area were not capable of doing their jobs unless they were wise and brave, but considering the great danger here, Hu Weidong was reluctant to put the generals here, and if he unfortunately died, he would not have time to cry, and the leading cadres were too famous and too high, which would inevitably make the devils pay attention to this place too early, which would not be conducive to the consolidation and development of the eastern Jidong base area. Therefore, Hu Weidong believed that although it was important to establish a base area in eastern Hebei, at most one regiment-level cadre could be dispatched, and this person must be brave and resourceful, and he must also be good at doing mass work

In terms of the level of guerrilla warfare alone, Yang Wenhan is likely to be ranked in the top 10 in the entire Red Army, and even more in the top 3 in the Eighth Army of the Red Army, and he is naturally not a problem for him to do mass work as a political worker; at the same time, this person is very vigilant and has a strong personality charm, which is very important for maintaining the cohesion of the troops in a difficult environment. In addition, there is another incidental benefit to leaving him behind, Yang Wenhan hated Lao Chiang and the Kuomintang, and it is very likely that this guy will become a "friction expert" after the Red Army's anti-Japanese reorganization in the future, and it is really suitable to throw him in Jidong, where there is only a Japanese puppet army and no national army

Of course, Hu Weidong was also embarrassed to throw people away from Jidong, and although drawing lessons from history, Hu Weidong did not allocate many combat troops to Yang Wenhan (Note 1), but he suddenly sent him more than 500 Kang Da that were capable of serving as military commanders or political work cadres below the company level (in the book, after the Taiyuan meeting, the two major military academies in the Yuxi Soviet District were merged into the Red Army University, and the Red Army University was renamed the "Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" earlier than in history, referred to as Kang Da). Graduates, even if Yang Wenhan can really raise an army of 100,000 in the future, there is no need to worry about not having enough middle and low-level officers, in addition to a battalion of more than 600 soldiers and some non-combatants, a total of more than 1,500 people, this is the seed that Yang Wenhan brought to eastern Hebei.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Hu Weidong also specially assigned Yang Wenhan more than 100 special talents who are extraordinary and good at mass work, and the "armed work team" (referred to as the armed work team), which Hu Weidong mentioned in the "Code of Conduct" and which has made great contributions to the War of Resistance behind enemy lines in history, has finally stepped onto the stage of history ahead of schedule

Considering the particularity of guerrilla warfare, and the fact that it is difficult for the eastern Hebei base area to be connected with other major base areas for at least one or two years, it is unlikely that it will be able to obtain ammunition replenishment from the Soviet arsenal, and basically rely on the weapons and ammunition captured by the Japanese puppet army to supplement the needs, so Hu Weidong did not allocate much automatic weapons to Yang Wenhan, which is basically a 38 type per person, as well as 33 crooked machine guns and 4 Taisho 11-year 37mm flat-fire infantry snipers captured in the process of eliminating the Japanese puppet army in eastern Hebei. Yang Wenhan was full of complaints about this, thinking that the army general threw him the garbage that the main force looked down on, but Hu Weidong had expected this and specially explained it to him

It turns out that although there are a lot of problems with the crooked handle, it has a characteristic that is very suitable for the guerrillas - it is completely universal with the Type 38 rifle bullet, which should be unique in the current shijie. If it is another light machine gun model, once the original bullet is exhausted, unless the magazine (or bullet plate) of the machine gun of this model is just captured, the machine gun will become scrap metal, and the crooked handle can be directly put into the magazine as long as there are bullets from the Type 38 rifle, which is undoubtedly very applicable to the guerrillas who generally only attack the small Japanese army and the probability of capturing the rifle is far greater than that of the captured machine gun. …,

Although the Taisho 11-year-style 37mm flat-fire infantry sniper is a little less powerful, if you use armor-piercing shells, you can hit the artillery towers of the devil's civil structure and the light tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army (the railway in the eastern Hebei region is crisscrossed, and the probability of encountering tanks, especially armored vehicles, is still quite large. But it's more than enough. Moreover, the Taisho 11th 37mm flat-fire infantry sniper is extremely light in weight (only 89 kg), but the range and accuracy are very good (the maximum firing range is 5000 meters, and it can accurately snipe targets within 1000 meters). ), which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare. In addition, considering that it is difficult to replenish the artillery shells after Yang Wenhan led the team to leave the large army, the small size and light weight of the 37mm shell means that it can carry a larger number, which is undoubtedly more affordable than the large-caliber artillery. In addition, even if it is a Type 92 infantry gun, it must be equipped with a devil in the brigade, no matter how brave and good Yang Wenhan is, it is difficult to lead the guerrillas to defeat the Japanese brigade and capture more than 70mm caliber artillery shells, and although the Taisho 11th type 37mm flat-fire infantry sniper is not very equipped in the Japanese army, it is equipped to the devil squadron level, and the guerrillas at least have the possibility of capturing shells from the enemy. Of course, these two weapons are not used by the main force, which is also an important reason why Hu Weidong chose them, but the main force must not be sacrificed to strengthen the guerrillas, right?

Yang Wenhan and other cadres sent to Jidong were immediately resentful after hearing this, and Hu Weidong said, "The more advanced the weapon, the better, only the weapon that suits you is the best." It has been engraved in their hearts since then, and Hu Weidong also sent them a military industrial team of a total of 8 people to help them repair guns and reload bullets, which made these cadres even more happy.

At the same time, in order to allow Yang Wenhan's Eastern Hebei Independent Regiment to gain a firm foothold more quickly, Hu Weidong also allowed the Advance Division, which had penetrated deep into the Eastern Hebei Plain, to stay for more than 10 days in the face of the air raids of devil planes, and completely destroyed the so-called "Eastern Hebei Autonomous Government for the Defense of the Communist Party," so that Yang Wenhan and others could quickly break into pieces and take root in the vast rural areas of eastern Hebei

Note 1: Due to the narrow and densely populated area of eastern Hebei, it is difficult to keep the news secret, so almost every large army of the Eighth Route Army that entered eastern Hebei in history will immediately be taken care of by the Japanese army, and they are new to the country and do not understand the local situation, once they are targeted, it is difficult to get rid of it, and the result is often heavy losses, and finally they are tired of dealing with the enemy's sweep, and have no time to develop the base area, and the total loss of tens of thousands of the Eighth Route Army before and after. Later, the Eighth Route Army only sent cadres to eastern Hebei, so that the small target was not easy to attract a large army of devils, and the soldiers were all recruited by the locals, they were familiar with the actual situation in eastern Hebei, and it was much more convenient to start guerrilla attacks with devils, and the base areas in eastern Hebei finally developed under the noses of devils, and when the enemy paid attention to it, it was no longer able to extinguish the fire of the prairie fire
