On 18 August, a town division in a certain county advanced to the command post.

Today's division headquarters is much more lively than in the past, and most of the commanders of the 129th Division at and above the regimental level are gathered here. In the crowd, not only the commanders of the backbone regiments such as the Iron Triangle, but even the commanders of the eight main regiments came.

Before the battle meeting officially began, everyone talked happily. After all, everyone usually stays in their respective defense zones, and this kind of situation is really rare to get together with friends.

Li Yunlong, who was originally smiling and approaching the commander of the artillery battalion at the headquarters, suddenly saw Cheng Blind in the crowd with a dozen eyes, so he strode over.

"I heard that your kid captured two Type 92 infantry guns some time ago? It's okay, it's getting more and more interesting now, and I don't embarrass our old troops! ”

For his old squad leader, Cheng Shifa sometimes really has an attitude that he can't be provoked and can't hide. Although he also knew that the other party was teasing most of the time, he couldn't stand it too many times, and he was really panicked.

Like today, this is the first time Cheng Blind has encountered this situation, he subconsciously thought that the other party might really be eyeing his body cannon, so he made a look like he had just been robbed, and said with a sad face:

"Hey, don't say anything more. What kind of wealth do I make, the poor are almost like pants. Don't you know who the brigade commander is? My front foot had just been seized, and he called me on the back foot. ”

Just as Li Yunlong was about to continue speaking, the division commander walked out of the conference room in the distance and walked towards the vacant seat where they were.

The commanders, who had been a little noisy, suddenly fell silent, and everyone present looked at the bespectacled man who walked up.

The teacher's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he said with a smile and a slight dialect accent:

"There are quite a lot of people here today, and I see that you are all discussing fiercely. Then I'll make a long story short, and try not to delay your pre-war preparations. ”

"The devils have used many methods to defeat us. They block international lines of communication, bomb our vital cities, and attack on frontal battlefields. It's all about dividing us and forcing us to surrender. ”

The division commander's expression was serious, and everyone present also looked like they were all waiting for battle.

"Now is the most dangerous time for the country, not only is it difficult to fight, but there are more and more capitulationists. Our action is also to call on all people to unite and overcome such dangers and difficulties. ”

These words of the division commander were another purpose of this sabotage operation.

The southwest where the preserved fruit is now located has been targeted by Xiao Ri since February 38. The devil's army and even the navy carried out a long and indiscriminate bombardment of that city and its surrounding areas.

These brutes do not distinguish between the front line and the rear, nor do they mainly target military targets, but rather frantically target residential areas and bustling commercial areas.

They also made extensive use of incendiary bombs in the bombing to burn houses in urban areas. The purpose of this was to force the preserved fruit to surrender on his knees.

There has been no news of victory in the country for too long, and coupled with the panic at this stage, the country's support for the war has become extremely low. If the Eighth Route Army can make some big moves at this time, it will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm.

Moreover, the neurotics of the diehards are still in control of the domestic public opinion trend.

Maybe they are not as good as the devils in terms of propaganda, but they still have a lot of say in places outside the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

While constantly creating military frictions, these people also wantonly spread rumors, slandering the Eighth Route Army for being guerrilla but not attacking and attacking friendly forces instead of Japan, which has caused some masses who do not know the truth to doubt the people's troops.

Just when everyone was still savoring this passage, Li Yunlong in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The crisis is now!" Only responsibility! ”

The division commander was not angry that his speech was interrupted, but the smile on his face deepened. He has always admired his former security guard, although the other party has some minor problems, but it seems to have grown a lot recently.

"Li Yunlong, it seems that you have been reading a lot of books recently? This makes perfect sense! But your new second regiment has just been established not long ago, aren't you afraid of losing your little money? ”

Li Yunlong walked out of the crowd, looked at the old chief in front of him, and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"I'm afraid what kind of soldier he is! I must step up at a critical moment, and this responsibility is in my blood and rooted in my heart. ”

Hearing this, the division commander took the lead in applauding. To the applause of the crowd, he shouted loudly:

"The significance of this operation is very great, we not only want to break the enemy's blockade, but also to bring hope to the people in those enemy-occupied areas, break the luck of the capitulationists, and let the devils know that our Eighth Route Army will never fall!"

"All the troops participating in the battle have a month's worth of rations! The operation will last at least seven days! At 20 o'clock on August 20, the troops began to attack at the same time! ”

"You remember me! Our goal is to overturn all the rails! Blow up all bridges! Not a single sleeper can be left for the devils! ”

In the following period, several staff officers of the division headquarters began to explain the specific arrangements to the regimental commanders one-on-one. In this sabotage operation on the Zhengtai Line, some militia and people will cooperate with the main force.

The so-called people's war is not about allowing civilians with their bare hands to face the aggressor. The soldiers and the people are the foundation of victory, and only when the people are united in an organized and planned way can they be regarded as anti-Japanese forces.

The main way for the masses to participate in the war was mainly transportation and intelligence, and this sabotage operation was no exception. When it is safe for the people, the people will help the Eighth Route Army cut wires, pull road nails, take sleepers, and pull steel rails.

After all the tasks were assigned, Li Yunlong sneaked to the side of the artillery battalion commander and grabbed the other party's arm. On weekdays, the old man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth is not afraid of the earth, but his expression at this time is a little twisted.

"Lao Wang, if we have a chance to be in one area on the battlefield, then your artillery battalion will have to help me fire two shots."

After hearing this, Camp Commander Wang smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"That said, if we're in an area, how can I not help you. Do you think we're still picking on doors like we used to? Let me tell you, the situation is different now, our battalion has enough shells! ”

With the other party's assurance, Grand Master Li smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes. Seeing this good thing, the commanders who were smoking around them gathered around.

At this time, Li Yunlong was very free and easy, as if the person who had plucked the goose before. Looking at the other party's happy appearance, Camp Chief Wang couldn't help but complain:

"You don't think you really have that much face, do you? Look at your cow, put yourself as the king of the day? ”

"You don't know who got these shells back from us, do you? Yesterday, when our battalion went to the logistics department, Vice Minister Huang specially explained to me that I would take care of your regiment when I had the opportunity. ”

"With such a fellow, you Li Yunlong really don't know how many good deeds you have done in your last life."

At the same time, Huang He, who was verifying a certain formula with Chang Jiang, suddenly sneezed. And the system in his mind began to beat, telling him that there was something new going on in this host.

Huang He pretended to go to the toilet and hurriedly ran to the bathroom to check. As soon as I turned on the system, a decision that had just been passively unlocked came into view.

"Battle of the Hundred Regiments: We have so far focused on organizing small-scale operations and ambushes, and a battle like the one at Pingxingguan has not happened for a long time, so perhaps the enemy thinks that we are not a nuisance other than a nuisance.

But if Xiao Ri is immersed in this illusory sense of security, then we will definitely give them a powerful attack.

It's time for the world to see the strength of our Eighth Route Army!

Effect: Increases the production capacity of military factories and civilian factories by 25% in the system, duration: 180 days"

Although according to the first few passively unlocked decisions, Huang He had some guesses about the effect of the "Hundred Regiment War", but he didn't expect it to be a production capacity bonus that lasted for half a year.

Just as he was about to turn off the system and leave the bathroom, another message popped up in the interface:

"People's War: Other nations may be superstitious that the key to winning a war is tactics and firepower, but our troops have long understood that nothing can match the support of the people.

Everything we do is for the fundamental interests of the people and represents the direction of future development. Now it's time for the enemy to see how great the common people who fought stubbornly are!

Effect: Rifle Equipment Build Speed +10%, Support Equipment Build Speed +50%"

After reading these two new decisions, Huang He was already so shocked that he couldn't speak. Counting the bonuses of "Protracted Battle" and "Sport Battle", the production capacity of the factories in the system has already amazed him.

After a rough calculation, with only these few factories on hand, he was confident that within a year, he would be able to scrape together the equipment of three full-fledged divisions, and still support the full troops of the company.

If the crisis of famine two years later can be resolved, the army will certainly improve by leaps and bounds in terms of troop resources. At that time, it would not be a problem to liberate the entire Jin province in 1942, and even if there were aircraft, it would be possible to counterattack the whole of North China.

While Huang He was still calculating, the deputy general and deputy general staff of the distant headquarters were looking at the combat map beside them, and it seemed that a meeting had just ended in the combat headquarters.

"At the moment, the devils have a cage policy against our guerrilla warfare. This leaves only two counties in our complete base area, and it seems that Xiaori is trying to weave a big net to trap us completely. ”

"How do you write the word prison in a cage? Has anyone ever seen a cage look like? If the devil wants to trap us, we have to tear down his cage and rewrite this prison word! ”

Speaking of this, the vice president patted his belt, he looked at his old buddy and said:

"After this war is over, I'll give you a new one!"

A sentence suddenly came to mind, why is it cheaper to mobilize soldiers?

Because they gave everything for the Motherland and did not need any subsidies.

All they needed was a loyal rifle and a fur coat made by their mother.
