Predator Reborn

Chapter 689 Confident Zuo Quan

At the Field Army Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was standing in front of a huge military combat sand table. His eyes were fixed on the sand table, showing the current deployment of the enemy and our troops. As Liu Hua faced the sand table, he slowly fell into

While he was deep in thought, the excited voice of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan quickly reached his ears.

"Commander-in-Chief, good news, good news..."

"Um? What good news can actually make our chief of staff, Comrade Zuo Quan, so excited? Come on, tell me and the political commissar..." Looking at the excited chief of staff in front of him, Liu Hua quickly put away his words.

With a solemn look on his face, he asked with a smile on his face to the chief of staff.

At the same time, the face of the political commissar Luo Ronghuan also showed a look of expectation. A pair of eyes quickly stared at the chief of staff in front of him, waiting for the chief of staff's answer.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief and the Political Commissar. The telegrams in my hand are all telegrams reporting successes sent from various places in the past few days. Without exception, they are all reports on the current situation in the base area after the local Japanese and overseas Chinese were arrested by us... If

If you use four words to describe the current base area, it would be 'thriving'." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied with a smile on his face.

"Chief of Staff, what you said is true. Just half a month has passed and the Commander-in-Chief's plan has begun to bear fruit. Come on, tell us the specific situation..." The Chief of Staff had just finished speaking.

Political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with excitement.

"Yes, political commissar. In the past half month, our Northeast Field Army has recruited more than 165,000 young and middle-aged people in the entire base area. At present, these young and middle-aged people have been recruited in accordance with the requirements of the Commander-in-Chief.

, respectively formed the engineering troops, mining troops, road troops, railway troops, agricultural reclamation troops under our Northeast Field Army... According to Director Peng's intention, with the participation of these hundreds of thousands of free labor forces, the development of our base will definitely be achieved in the future.

In the shortest possible time, we can reach a new level..."

"As for all the women and children among the expatriates, with the close cooperation of the troops in the base area and the military and civilians, it took less than ten days to send them all out of the base area. At present, in the entire base area, except for a small number of technical personnel who obey the leadership of our army,

There is no longer a single little devil to be seen. Of course, in the process of expelling these little devils and expatriates, there is another biggest income, which is the property of these expatriates. According to statistics, apart from the land occupied by the expatriates, only the confiscated various

The total amount of the ocean, gold bars, and gold and silver jewelry exceeds 60 million silver dollars. In addition, there are countless antique calligraphy and paintings that cannot be valued yet... As for the various grains confiscated from the expatriates, all added up, at least

It is enough to support all the commanders and fighters of my Northeast Field Army for two years..."

"Okay...Commander-in-Chief, you still have the courage...I never thought that in less than half a month, this cancerous tumor on our bodies would be completely removed. What's more important is that after removing this cancerous tumor, we can still

I have unexpectedly received such huge benefits. Commander-in-Chief, I really admire you more and more." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with excitement.

Immediately afterwards, political commissar Luo Ronghuan continued to ask Zuo Quan, the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, what else is there? Keep talking..."

"Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar, what I just said are all superficial gains. What's even more exciting is what's behind?"

Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with a smile on his face.

"With the impoverished Japanese immigrants scattered throughout the base area, they were expelled by our army. Coupled with the land reform policy implemented by the government of our base area for the entire base area, the land seized by the imprisoned people was redistributed to the hands of the people on a per capita basis.

.The hearts and minds of the people in the entire base area were almost unified into one, and in the end, they were tightly united around us."

"According to the report of Director Peng, who is in charge of the government and economic construction of the entire base area: At present, the construction of party and government organs in the entire base area, from the village committee, to the district committee, and the county committee... has spread to every corner of the base area. All the people, sincerely

Support has spread around us. And the influence of our party and our army in the base areas has reached an unprecedented high."

"The common people support us, and we have a foothold. Director Peng took advantage of this enthusiasm and public sentiment to promptly propose the formation of a militia organization in the base area. Unexpectedly, this proposal immediately aroused a huge response from the common people.

In less than a week after the proposal, hundreds of thousands of young adults in the entire base area voluntarily signed up to join the militia organization and received various military training. So far, the number of militiamen is still rising linearly..."

Before Chief of Staff Zuo Quan finished speaking, Liu Hua, who looked shocked, asked in disbelief.

"Chief of Staff, in less than a week, Director Peng has developed hundreds of thousands of militia troops. Are you right?"

As Liu Hua, who is confident of winning this operation, the reason why he asked such a rhetorical question is very simple. In his eyes, in such a short period of time, through this plan, he can truly win the hearts and minds of the people.

, it has been very successful. I never thought that in the process of winning the hearts and minds of the people, it would be able to get such strong support and support from the local people.

In fact, until this moment, Liu Hua, who came from a later generation, did not clearly understand the status of land in the minds of ordinary people at this moment.

Looking at the land that had been occupied by the little devils for decades, it finally returned to my own hands. Then I thought that the food I would grow in the future would only have to pay a pitiful tax. Countless Northeastern men, in

When I received my own land deed, I was so moved that I cried...

Because they have been looking forward to the land under their feet for ten years. More importantly, with the negligible tax, these Northeastern men clearly know that in the future, with the land under their feet, they and their families will no longer have to go hungry.

abdomen…

So, amidst the gratitude of the people in the base area, when the news that militia forces were about to be formed in various places reached everyone's ears, the Northeastern men who had been suppressed for ten years would not give up for the land in their hands.

Once again, they were snatched away by the little devil, and they all enthusiastically signed up to join the army...

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. According to the latest statistics, the total number of these militia troops should be around 110,000. According to statistics from local governments, the total population of the entire base area is approximately 15.63 million.

If calculated based on the population ratio, the total strength of the militia forces in the base area will definitely continue to grow." The chief of staff replied affirmatively.

"Bah bang bang..." Although at this moment, there were only three people in the huge war room. However, Liu Hua, who looked excited, couldn't help but applaud.

After a burst of crisp applause, Liu Hua spoke.

"Great. Since the expansion of the army, I have been worried about a problem, that is, after a strategic decisive battle, the large losses of the army cannot be replenished in time, thus affecting the combat effectiveness of the entire army. However, at present,

Come on, there is no need for me to worry... With hundreds of thousands or even more militia troops serving as the back-up of our Northeast Field Army, we no longer need to worry about the losses of troops during the battle..."

After a burst of excited emotion, Liu Hua's face was once again shrouded in a serious look, and he continued to give orders to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, if such a large number of militia units cannot be trained uniformly, they will not be able to form combat effectiveness immediately after the additional troops are added. In this way, an order should be immediately given to Deputy Chief of Staff Li of the training unit to have Deputy Chief of Staff Li start from combat

A group of veterans were selected from the army and sent to Director Peng. They were then dispersed to various places to be responsible for training these militia troops. The number of these veterans is temporarily set at three thousand..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

However, after receiving the order, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there, motionless, as if he had something to say, but as soon as it reached his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Seeing the troubled look on the chief of staff's face, Liu Hua glanced at the busy combat staff around him. Liu Hua seemed to understand something and quickly ordered: "Counsel Wang, you guys go out first. Remember, instruct the people outside.

Guard, no one is allowed to come in without my order..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Looking at several combat staff members leaving quickly, Liu Hua spoke to Zuo Quan, the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff Zuo, is there something wrong? There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it. We will discuss it together..."

After a brief hesitation, Zuo Quan spoke under the gaze of his two partners.

"Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar. The military confrontation between our and the enemy's armies has lasted for a month and a half. According to the intelligence just received from the Intelligence Department, Changchun Airport has been put into use after emergency repairs by the Kwantung Army. As for the Kwantung Army's newly formed

Fifteen new divisions were also formed a month ago and are currently undergoing training. My idea is that the little Japanese Kwantung Army does not have much time left for us. Should we make a move...

"

"Well..." Speaking of this, Liu Hua's brows immediately wrinkled. Then, he slowly fell into deep thought.

After all, the people's support in your base area has just begun to win over, and it is a good time to recuperate. At the same time, the troops have just been expanded, and many troops have just entered the training stage and have not formed combat effectiveness at all. If you take the initiative to launch an attack on the surrounding Kwantung Army at this time,

Obviously, not the best time.

However, as the Chief of Staff said, if we do not take the initiative now and seize the initiative in the entire war, we will be completely passive when the Japanese army completes the training of the fifteen new divisions and launches a new round of encirclement and suppression operations in the base area.

.And by then, your losses may be even greater.

Thinking of the advantages and disadvantages of this, Liu Hua felt a headache. Because since his rebirth, he had always fought well-prepared battles. As for the scene in front of him, it was the first time he encountered it. However, when Liu Hua

When he saw the confident Chief of Staff Zuo Quan in front of him, he immediately understood something, and then he asked.

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean..."

Looking at the hesitant commander-in-chief in front of him, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied extremely firmly:

"Commander-in-Chief, I think we should seize this hard-won opportunity. Before the Japanese army pays attention to us, we should take the initiative to launch an attack and catch the Japanese army by surprise. Then, on the periphery of the base area, we should find a way to launch a large-scale annihilation battle.

.I believe that as long as we can pass this battle and annihilate more than two Japanese divisions once again, we can once again usher in at least a month of rest for the base area..."

Zuo Quan's words were like a shot of tranquilizer, sweeping away Liu Hua's worries. Looking at the confident chief of staff in front of him, Liu Hua slowly showed a decisive look on his face and asked

.

"Chief of Staff, how confident are you..."

"As long as the commander-in-chief supports me, I am 100% sure that I can win this battle..." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan answered confidently.

"Okay, since the Chief of Staff is so confident, I, Liu Hua, firmly support you. Political Commissar, what do you mean?" As they spoke, the two people simultaneously focused their gazes on Luo Ronghuan next to them.

"Both bosses have agreed. As a housekeeper, of course I agree. Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, you two, just rest assured. As for logistics and base matters, leave them to me..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan was very

replied in agreement.

The three people's opinions were unified, and the next step was to consider how to fight. Thinking of the task he assigned to the chief of staff a month and a half ago, Liu Hua asked directly.

"Chief of Staff, has the battle plan I asked the General Staff to formulate a month and a half ago been completed..."

"The report to the commander-in-chief and the political commissar has been formulated. After many deductions by the staff department, as long as no major accidents occur, it will definitely be another unprecedented victory..." Zuo Quan replied confidently.

"So confident..." Liu Hua asked with a smile on his face when he saw the Chief of Staff swearing in front of him.

"In that case, Chief of Staff, would you like to briefly introduce the entire deduction process to me and the political commissar?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Zuo Quan replied cheerfully.

"Commander-in-Chief and Political Commissar, according to the report of Deputy Chief of Staff Li, after one and a half months of reorganization and training, currently, the First Corps of the First Corps, the Fourth Corps of the Second Corps, the Seventh Corps of the Third Corps, and the Tenth Corps of the Fourth Corps

Army, the Fifth Corps, the Thirteenth Corps, the troops directly under each Corps, the Guard Division, the Heavy Artillery Division, the Air Defense Division, the Aviation Corps' 1st Destroyer Regiment, and the 1st Bomber Regiment directly under the Field Army, totaling 190,000 people. They have fully formed combat capabilities and are ready for combat.

At the same time, the remaining ten armies and armored corps, totaling 250,000 people, although they have not formed a combat effectiveness, they are more than capable of carrying out defensive operations in the base area."

"What I mean is to mobilize the entire field army's units suitable for combat and take the initiative to launch attacks. Launch attacks to the south and north respectively. To the south, with the cooperation of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, fight a large-scale annihilation battle in the Pingjin area. To the north

, expand our base area, with Mengshan County as the center, and include the east of Liaoyuan and the entire southeastern Jilin area within the control of our base area. At the same time, with the help of our army's familiarity with the terrain in the Changbai Mountain area, we will fight a war in the Changbai Mountain area

A large-scale annihilation war, thereby disrupting the Kwantung Army’s deployment of our Northeast Field Army and causing the Kwantung Army to disorganize itself.”

Facing the chief of staff's answer, Liu Hua nodded thoughtfully. Then, facing Zuo Quan in front of him, he continued to ask.

"Attacking to the south, with the cooperation of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, there should be no big problem in eating up the strength of more than one Class A division of the Japanese army. After all, the current North China garrison has already lost its strength to a certain extent.

The original air superiority. Coupled with their limited strength and the need to defend many places, this creates a good opportunity for us to defeat them one by one. However, it is a bit difficult to develop northward. Chief of Staff, tell me about your situation.

Concrete ideas.”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief... As far as I know, for the safety of the Kwantung Army's headquarters in Changchun, the Kwantung Army has stationed no less than one Class A division in the four important towns of Tongliao, Siping, Liaoyuan, and Jilin.

It’s very strong. With our current strength, we can’t touch these places. After all, one move can affect the whole body.”

Seeing Liu Hua nodding thoughtfully, Zuo Quan continued to answer.

"According to intelligence, Meihekou is located at a traffic artery, and the Kwantung Army attaches great importance to it. In addition, a mixed brigade has been stationed in the surrounding areas. What I mean is that we attack Meihekou and cut off the Kwantung Army.

The situation of the railway line. When the time comes, Meihekou is in danger, and Liaoyuan City, which is closest to Meihekou, will definitely send reinforcements. As long as the Japanese reinforcements attack, we can concentrate our forces, eat this reinforcements, and lay siege to the Kwantung Army.

Call for reinforcements…”

"It's a good idea..." Liu Hua nodded in agreement and then asked.

"Chief of Staff, how many troops do you think the Kwantung Army in Liaoyuan City will send to reinforce Meihekou?"

Facing Liu Hua's question, Zuo Quan answered affirmatively after a short period of reflection.

"A division's reinforcements...According to intelligence, a Category A division and some garrison troops were stationed in the entire Liaoyuan City. However, as the Kwantung Army increased its troops, a new division was once again formed in the Liaoyuan area.

, a mixed brigade unit. According to the current combat effectiveness of the two newly formed units, Liaoyuan City can only send this Class A division to fight. Of course, there may be many accompanying Manchurian Army troops..."

"A Category A division, relying on our ability, can fully sustain it. A good siege and reinforcements, just do it... Chief of staff, immediately convey the order, commanders above the corps will go to the headquarters for a meeting at six o'clock tomorrow evening.

...." After figuring out all the joints, Liu Hua, who was good at seizing opportunities, gave the order very decisively without any hesitation.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan also replied with excitement.
