"Lao Qian, we strive to establish stable and truly fighting guerrillas, district squads, militia and other echelons in the entire base area in the shortest possible time without increasing the burden on the fellow villagers to ensure that the local armed forces

After the upgrades are pulled away, the gap can be effectively filled in the shortest possible time.”

"Changes in the situation require that our thinking must be able to keep up with the changes, otherwise once the opportunity is missed, we may suffer great losses." Zhang Yunfei explained to Qian Deming with a smile.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei has paid great attention to cadres who have various relationships with the military and civilians, but he is a military cadre first, and his thinking mode always starts from the war situation.

It is inevitable to think about problems from a direct and effective perspective, which is why it is said that a scholar meets a soldier. The thinking patterns are not on the same line.

Take the relationship between him and Qian Deming. Either they had to get along for a long time, or they wouldn't be able to pee together at all.

Therefore, he also has his own way of solving military-civilian relations. He only needs to implement his own decisions. As for the coordination and handling of military-civilian relations, all aspects such as coordination and handling are left to Qian Deming.

As long as your own ideas, ideas, etc. are understood and approved by Qian Deming, Qian Deming will play his role in handling the affairs of all parties.

Regarding Zhang Yunfei's statement, Qian Deming felt that it was very reasonable.

At this time, there was no such thing as a formal reserve force. In addition to mobilizing new soldiers, a large part of the expansion of the main force came from local armed upgrades.

Many times, troops like my own New Ninth Regiment actually play such a role sometimes.

Like a laying hen, they use their own backbone to develop local armed forces, and then they are transferred away, and the cycle starts over and over again.

But now, the situation has changed and I need to grow stronger, so I have to save eggs in advance so that I can have some leftovers.

Armed forces such as Yang Zhiming and Qian Dedong, and even independent regiments like Qi Dajiu, may be transferred away. At that time, the vacancies left by them will have to be reorganized into local armed forces by local militias.

However, the real combat effectiveness of the militia is still quite limited. Although there is a big gap in equipment and combat effectiveness between the guerrillas and the main force, they have at least become an army. There are even some guerrillas whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the main force.

In the past, the process of upgrading militiamen to guerrillas could be done slowly. After all, the biggest goal of the previous base areas was survival, and the most important task was to escape the enemy, cope with the enemy's raids, and form real combat effectiveness. It did not matter that it took a long time.

However, changes in the situation, active attack and passive defense, have different requirements for each unit, and the units will no longer be given so much time to develop slowly.

Zhang Yunfei, who trained the militiamen and treated them according to the requirements of the main force, seems a bit radical and whimsical, but it may not be unreasonable.

At least it will greatly shorten the training time for integrating these militiamen into the main force when necessary.

If this plan is implemented, maybe in one or two years, the whole Xincheng area will reach the point where all the people are soldiers. Thinking about such a result makes people excited.

Thinking of this, Qian Deming expressed his approval and acquiescence to the prospect blueprint described by Zhang Yunfei.

After persuading Qian Deming, Zhang Yunfei opened the last obstacle to realizing his idea.

This guy from Lao Qian's pit... ahem, in short, this guy accepts death. If he doesn't agree with something, he will refuse to accept it. If he accepts something, he will be executed in death. No matter how big the difficulty is, he must overcome it.

"Captain, if the militiamen are organized into regular troops, the militiamen that meet your standards will have at least three to four thousand people, enough to form a compendium brigade. Can we allocate so many weapons to them?

, you know, a large part of the equipment seized this time was turned over."

"There are so many people?" Zhang Yunfei was stunned.

Qian Deming "..."

You don't know how many people there are in the militia, so Qian Deming, who was excited by Zhang Yunfei's blueprint for proposing such a grand plan, suddenly felt a little flustered and felt that it was very unreliable.

Zhang Yunfei really didn't know that there were so many local militiamen. After all, the local armed district squads only had about ten people.

But it doesn't seem strange after thinking about it. After all, guerrillas like the district team are already considered soldiers, but the militia is different. They can only be regarded as civilians.

Don't doubt anything. You also doubt the mobilization ability of the Eighth Route Army. The number Lao Qian said of three or four thousand is probably too low.

Although after so many years of hard work, the young and middle-aged population around the new city has dropped sharply, there is still no problem in gathering a few thousand people.

"Old Qian, let's see, our militia training is different from the past. It is not for internal anti-mopping operations, but as reserve troops for the main battle force. They can actually join the army at any time, so you make the local comrades suffer a little.

Tired, reorganize the situation that meets the requirements for enlistment." Zhang Yunfei pondered for a while and said, "As our troops steadily advance towards the enemy-occupied areas, the outside lines will become inside lines at any time. Under this situation, there is no need to fight internally or externally.

There is a big difference. I estimate that after a few months of development, we will completely become an inside line here, and by then we will probably have to jump out of the outside line to fight."

"When the army expands, if we are lucky enough to train people but cannot join the army, then our efforts will be in vain."

The militia is different from other armed forces of the Eighth Route Army. Their mission is more of a spontaneous organization to defend their own villages. Their focus is to defend their own villages.

You are willing to be a militiaman, but due to various reasons, you do not necessarily want to join the Eighth Route Army. These are two different concepts.

Zhang Yunfei blurred the concepts of the militia and the Eighth Route Army and regarded them as soldiers who could be recruited and removed at any time. Then this issue must be clarified first. Otherwise, problems will arise when they are mobilized from time to time, and they cannot be transferred away, which will be frustrating.

Okay, Zhang Yunfei admitted that the number of people was a bit too large. Good guy, there were three or four thousand people. This movement was quite big.

Although the action was nominally a local one, he was the one taking the lead. I guess the superiors would have to talk to him for a heart-to-heart talk.

As the Japanese began to weaken and the blockade almost existed in name only, the Eighth Route Army's life began to get better.

In name, the Japanese and puppet troops blockaded the Eighth Route Army. In fact, the artillery strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops turned into isolated islands.

Strictly speaking, it is more appropriate for the Eighth Route Army to blockade them. With each unit's victory, weapons and ammunition are no longer scarce.

As the supply of raw materials increases, the production capacity of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal is also increasing. Therefore, the amount captured by the New Ninth Regiment in recent battles is relatively loose.

If they have normal reasons, applying to their superiors is likely to allow them to keep more of the captured weapons and ammunition.
