"So what are you talking about?" Commander Song looked at Commander Li speechlessly, "Everyone has been fished out by you, what can I say." ”

"Well, that's why I'm here to show off." Commander Li said very confidently, "Showing off picked up a big treasure, and this should be a particularly big treasure." ”

"You ......"

"Hey, forget it," Political Commissar Deng began to muddy the waters, "If it's gone, it's gone, and we're not missing one or not." Without Zhang Butcher, can't eat hairy pigs? ”

"Hmph," Commander Song sat down obediently and looked at Commander Li angrily.

"Okay, in that case, we have to discuss what to do next." Director Li looked around and said with a smile.

"Now that there is a base in the Funing area, our goal is not to change, we can no longer choose to go north, but go south to the Lulong area to open up a base area. Or do you want to continue to go north and open up base areas in the Qinglong and Dushan areas. ”

There was a silence, the question was too critical and too important. After all, everything that is being done now is to open up the base area, but the south has already completed the opening of the base area, so whether or not to implement the original plan has become the most important thing.

Although several of you are the top leaders of the Eastern Hebei Anti-Japanese Federation and the Fourth Column, they still do not dare to make up their minds, and the central authorities are still paying close attention to the development of the Eastern Hebei Anti-Japanese Federation. They didn't dare to make a decision on such a major matter.

After a long silence, Commander Li took the lead in breaking the silence, "In this way, let's discuss your thoughts first, and finally let's hold a meeting to discuss with the captains of the northbound corps." After the conclusion is reached, it is reported to the central government. ”

"It's good, it's good." Political Commissar Deng nodded, "It's better to discuss more, and only after more discussion can we get results." ”

"In that case," said Commander Li first, "I will throw out my opinion first." In my opinion, we still have to go north, try to open up the Qinglong County area, and establish the Qinglong and Dushan anti-Japanese base areas. ”

"There are three reasons for me: 1. The Funing base area is now too narrow and impoverished, and it is not suitable for our nearly 60,000 troops to rest and replenish for the time being."

"2. The geographical location and environment of Funing are particularly bad. Look, Funing East is Qinhuangdao, and the Qinhuangdao area is now garrisoned by a full wing and two and a half regiments of puppet troops, and even Beidaihe has a squadron of Japanese troops. Moreover, there are roads, and the transportation of the Japanese army is very convenient, and the combat effectiveness of our army is not comparable to that of the Japanese army of a wing. Therefore, collisions at the wing level are unacceptable. ”

"To the north, is Qinglong County. If we do not enter Qinglong County, the Kwantung Army, a wing of the Japanese army in Qinglong, can drive straight from the Great Wall to Funing, and join forces with the Japanese army in the Qinhuangdao area to strangle Funing, where our 60,000 troops will not be able to move around. ”

"To the south is Leting, but the problem with Loting is that it is close to the Bac Ninh line, which makes it more convenient for the Japanese army to transport. In addition, except for a small part of the base area in Funing, most of the remaining terrain is plains, and we have no way to fight field battles with the Japanese army on the plains for the time being. ”

"3. The population of Funing County is not as large as that of Qian'an, Qianxi, Yutian, Zunhua and other places, and the total number of production is small, and our soldiers cannot be self-sufficient. I'm sure you all know how much an army of 60,000 eats horses a day. If the Japanese choose to blockade us, it will be difficult for us to get enough food and grass. ”

"Therefore, I propose that the troops go north to Qinglong to open up a new base area, and some troops enter the Funing base area to rest and recuperate in turn. And, where appropriate, the reintegration of the forces will be carried out. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Political Commissar Deng stood up and said, "Since Lao Li has said it, then I will also say my thoughts." In my opinion, it is not appropriate for the troops to go north to Qinglong, and they should go south to the Funing base area for rest and recuperation. ”

"I also have three reasons: 1. In the long-term struggle against the Japanese invaders, the troops are already very tired, and they are even shaking the morale of the army, which is very serious."

"2. The road from here to Qinglong County is still very long, the terrain is rugged, the movement is difficult, and our soldiers are very serious in adapting to the soil and water, and the non-combat attrition has increased a lot."

"3. A place in Funing is indeed not enough to supply 60,000 troops. But what if you hold all the areas of Lulong, Funing, Leting, Luanxian, and Changli in your hands? Once our army establishes base areas in these places, it will automatically solve the problem of food supply, and the fatigue of the troops after a long battle will also be alleviated. Even if our army only takes the Lulong region, it can solve a certain food problem and recuperation problem. ”

"Therefore, judging from this situation, we should now turn around and go south as soon as possible to establish a base in the Lulong area of Funing. After all, the significance of our going north to Qinglong is to open up a base area and solve the problem of rest and recuperation of the troops. Now that Lulong Funing has a base, there is no need for us to go to Qinglong. ”

"Moreover, even if it is a wing of the Kwantung Army guarding against Qinglong, our army can choose to send a small force to monitor the Kwantung Army in the northern part of the Funing region, such as Taitou Camp and other places surrounding the Great Wall, to prevent it from moving south, or to block and ambush the enemy."

"The top priority now is that the troops must be transferred to a state of rest and recuperation, and we must rest before we can further fight against the Japanese invaders."

Commissar Deng finished speaking and sat down. The three of them still didn't say anything, just looked down and thought about something.

After a long time, Commander Song said quietly: "Actually, I haven't figured it out until now, what are we doing in Dushan?" We have actually basically opened up base areas in Yutian, Zunhua, Qian'an, Qianxi and other places, why should we go to Xinglong Mountain and Dushan? Oh, just because we can't fight a field battle with the Japanese on the plains? ”

"What a joke. I still don't understand why we should abandon the base areas we are about to open up and go to places where we know almost nothing. Didn't we all say it very clearly in the iron factory before? We are already carrying out the plan set by the iron factory, why do we still want to go to Dushan? ”

"Of course, I'm not against going to Dushan, but I'm not in favor of going to Dushan with the main force. We don't know much about Dushan and Xinglong Mountain, and it is really a mistake to rush to send the main force forward. And you've seen the hasty results. How serious the non-combat attrition of the troops is, I ......"

"I really can't understand why we are overturning the ironworks meeting. Why did the captains of each corps say that they had to go to mountainous areas such as Xinglong Mountain and Dushan Mountain? What the hell are we doing now? Our team has not been integrated until now, the four verticals are the four verticals, and the anti-union is the anti-union, what is going on? How can such a fight be fought against the United Nations? ”

The more Commander Song spoke, the more excited he became, and he even slapped the table, shaking everything up with great force.

Silence returned, and everyone bowed their heads and did not speak.

"In this case, let's ...... first"

Before Political Commissar Deng's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Commander Song, "Forget it," he waved his hand a little gloomily, "Let's go and notify the captains and regiment commanders of each corps to come to the headquarters first, we still have to think about this matter in the long run." There are many things that we have to think about and ponder carefully. ”
