Predator Reborn

Chapter 119 Breaking Attack (1)

In the evening, in a small conference room next to the headquarters, Liu Hua sent the materials he compiled overnight to the cadres below, and explained them at the same time. You must know that the cadres below are all old Red Army soldiers who have gone through the Long March. Many of them

People in the original Soviet area had rich experience in counter-encirclement and suppression operations. Seeing the materials compiled by Liu Hua, everyone discovered a new method of counter-encirclement and suppression. The main force and the guerrillas combined different terrains and used sparrow warfare.

Mine warfare and tunnel warfare will definitely make it impossible for the Japanese to come back...

Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Hua knew that his hard work throughout the night was not in vain, because he had brought everyone a brand new combat mode. Liu Hua paid attention to the Pingding County Party Committee Secretary and the Director of the Logistics Department who attended the meeting...

matters.

And it was decided that in the absence of a major war situation, in addition to leaving a certain mobile force of the main force, all the remaining troops would enter each village to dig tunnels. In this way, each village would have at least one more

We need a lot of labor, and we must pay special attention to the tunnel network in Zhangjiazhuang, the center of the base area, which is required to be able to prevent poisons, waterproof, and fight... and even dig a tunnel leading to the back mountain arsenal.

As for the Logistics Department, it is necessary to gather the original supply camp and all the logistics personnel and carve out enough land on the slopes of the back mountains of Zhangjiazhuang. It must catch up with the spring plowing of the second year and strive to achieve food self-sufficiency for the main force.

Although many cadres disagreed with Liu Hua's request, under Liu Hua's tough attitude, nearly a thousand warrior cadres in the Logistics Department picked up hoes and other tools and began the army's military reclamation operations.

As the secretary of the county party committee, Xiao Ping must elect all village committees and district committee members in dozens of villages in the base area in the shortest possible time. He must also use the recent influence of the army among the masses to mobilize the masses and mobilize the main force.

With the cooperation of the troops, we must dig tunnels, manufacture black powder, and establish militiamen... We must make every household in the tunnels in every village in the base area poison-proof and waterproof within two months to protect the lives and property of the people.

.And each village is required to establish a militia squad, and the district establishes a district squadron...The Pingding garrison serves as a bridge between the militia and the main force. All soldiers who add the main force must go to the garrison to undergo certain training...

As an important department in the current base area, the arsenal will use the stones and black powder from Woniu Mountain to manufacture iron mines, stone mines, and sky-blasting artillery shells in large quantities within these two months... At the same time, the newly formed intelligence

We must establish a powerful intelligence network throughout Shandong before the enemy has any base areas to target, so that every move of the Japanese is completely in our hands...

The day after the meeting, the entire base area became busy. With the encouragement of local cadres, the villagers gathered together and exercised their rights for the first time to elect their own village committees, village representatives, and main forces.

We began to compress the establishment and allocate personnel to new regiments, especially the three newly formed regiments. Under the leadership of their respective new regiment commanders and battalion commanders, they began to build the shelves of each company and each platoon, allocate new recruits, and receive weapons and ammunition. It was so lively

…

Since the army has abolished the formation of new corps, the former head of the new corps has now been promoted to the director of the Recruit Training Department of the Shandong Base Area. All soldiers recruited from the base must be reviewed and undergo a one-month short-term training at the Recruit Training Department.

Then they were distributed to the garrison regiments for a certain amount of actual combat. Soldiers who passed the actual combat training could finally be assigned to each main force group. Although this went through many complicated procedures, none of the leaders of the main force groups complained.

, because the soldiers who have been trained by the garrison regiment already have the experience of a veteran. Such soldiers added to the main regiment can not only directly carry out brutal battles, but also do not affect the combat effectiveness of the troops at all.

In this way, a month later, the base area ushered in the first Spring Festival. On the basis of the sufficient supplies of the independent brigade, the entire base area did not feel sad because of the Japanese occupation. Because on the eve of the Spring Festival, Liu Hua made a group discussion and took the

Nearly 100,000 catties of grain were distributed to the people in the base area, so everyone in the entire base area had a satisfied smile on their face.

After a month of hard work, the base area, under the leadership of the independent brigade leadership team, has achieved unprecedented results. The Logistics Department, under the leadership of Director Wang Daoguang, has reclaimed all the wasteland outside Zhangjiazhuang after nearly a month of hard work.

There are a total of 1,350 acres of land. If all crops are planted this year, it can supply the entire army with military rations for at least half a year, which will greatly reduce the burden on the army.

The six main regiments have all reached full strength through continuous replenishment of the soldiers of the garrison regiment, but there is still a big gap in weapons.

In terms of civil affairs, fruitful results have also been achieved. Under the leadership of Xiao Ping, Secretary of the County Party Committee, committees have been established in every village and district. Under the leadership of committees elected by the people themselves, the people's enthusiasm is particularly great.

, with the assistance of the main force, the tunnels in each village have increased by more than 100 meters per day. After nearly a month of hard work, the tunnels in the villages can basically hide the people's food and property, enough to cope with the initial raids by the Japanese army.

, so Liu Hua planned to celebrate the first New Year in the base area.

Except for a certain amount of mobile troops left in the army, all cadres and soldiers gathered in the capital Zhangjiazhuang to prepare for the arrival of the new year of the Anti-Japanese War.

Facing the lively atmosphere in the Jindong base area, many other base areas did not have such a good atmosphere. Many base areas were troubled by food, military uniforms, supplies... Faced with this situation, Liu Hua took out nearly half of the food stored in the base area.

Food was delivered to the 129th Division... troops so that each unit could have a peaceful Spring Festival. In this way, Liu Hua's name and the name of the Shanxi base area were once again reflected in the minds of great men. At the same time, among those

Marshal, he has won a good reputation among the generals...

Throughout the Spring Festival, the base area was in peace. However, several leaders of the party, government and military in the base area did not relax like the soldiers. After a reunion dinner, they began to prepare the construction plan and response to the base area in the new year.

enemy policy.

On February 8, 1938, the Independent Brigade received a telegram from the headquarters. In order to cooperate with the Kuomintang in southern Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army in western Shanxi, the Independent Brigade was required to block the Japanese Zhengtai Railway line as much as possible and cause chaos to the Japanese army in the rear.

, to break the Japanese offensive momentum...

After receiving the telegram, the entire base area immediately started moving. All six main regiments returned to their posts, the garrison regiments returned to their stations, and the villagers took advantage of the eve of planting to seize the time to dig tunnels... The entire base area was filled with an atmosphere of preparation for war.

That night, the party, government and military leaders in the base area gathered at the headquarters. After reading the telegram, several people as military commanders were extremely excited, because the troops had been reorganized for a month, and now they could finally test the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Well, especially now that the three newly formed main regiments have a very large weapons gap, it is very necessary to fight a few battles to make up for all the Japanese weapons that the troops lack.

As a local cadre, Xiao Ping is not so good, because once the main force leaves, the progress of tunnel excavation in the entire base area will definitely slow down a lot, which will make it difficult to complete the most basic tasks within the two months originally set by the commander.

The request from the Tunnel Network... Looking at the various expressions on everyone's face, Liu Hua began to speak.

"Haha, comrades, you should all have seen the call from the headquarters this time. It just so happens that we want to take this opportunity to test the true combat effectiveness of the army. Similarly, fighting can also supplement the large number of Japanese weapons we lack. So this time

We must launch a campaign. Secretary Xiao Ping, I know that after the troops are transferred, the tunnel excavation work will be greatly affected. However, the main task of the main force is to fight. Therefore, this campaign must be launched.

As for the reduced labor force after the main force is transferred, you can make up for the time by working overtime and digging tunnels in shifts during the day and night. In short, you must complete the task within the time specified by me. Then the political commissar and I will personally inspect it.

After listening to Liu Hua's words, his ugly expression softened a lot, and Xiao Ping quickly stood up. "Yes, Commander, we will resolutely complete the mission. We will not allow the troops to retreat."

Liu Hua nodded and continued. "Very good, our base must give appropriate compensation to the people who participate in overtime work. We can take measures such as reducing public food this year. In short, we must mobilize the enthusiasm of the people..." Listen

Liu Hua's words made Xiao Ping, who often does local work, couldn't help but look happy and nodded repeatedly...

"Okay, let me ask the chief of staff to assign combat tasks." Liu Hua nodded to Li Qing, the chief of staff next to him.

Looking at the regimental commander's political commissar with pricked ears below, the chief of staff smiled, picked up a battle plan and stood up.

"Comrades, according to the discussion of the headquarters, the operational plan for this raid is now laid out. Now the order is: the first regiment, the new regiment, will be under the unified command of the commander of the first regiment Sun Xingbang. The operational target is to pacify the area along the Zhengtai Railway. The requirements are complete

Destroy the enemy's railways and transport those rails back to the base as much as possible. You must know that those rails are made of high-quality steel. The arsenal is waiting for them?

The second regiment, the third regiment, the new second regiment, and the new third regiment are under the unified command of the commander. The operational target is along the highway from Handan to Changzhi. It is required to interrupt the enemy's highway logistics supply as much as possible, so that the enemy on the front line has no ammunition and no food...

The first mountain artillery company follows the first regiment, the second and third mountain artillery companies, and the Hongtianlei company follow the commander. (Due to the expansion of the army to three regiments, all mortars are equipped at the regiment level, with six mortars per regiment.

, the headquarters artillery battalion was changed to the mountain artillery battalion, which had one domestic mountain artillery company, two Japanese mountain artillery companies, and one Hongtianlei company)

The special operations brigade directly under the headquarters (the reconnaissance battalion and the sniper company are merged), the cavalry battalion, the first guard company, the logistics department's one and two companies follow the commander's actions, and the three and four logistics companies follow the one regiment. The remaining troops and personnel are composed of

The political commissar unified command, stayed at the base area, and protected the headquarters...

As Li Qing called his name one by one, the cadres below stood up one by one. "Are the tasks clear?" Liu Hua stood up and asked?

"Is everything clear?" everyone replied in unison.

"Okay. The troops will start setting off at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The meeting will be adjourned now." Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.
