In the new year, Zhongwang Mountain District has launched a new round of construction climax: the first is of course military construction. Under Chen Long's suggestion, in addition to strengthening the training of regular troops and militia, various factories, mining areas, and disaster victims gathering points must be organized

The Self-Defense Forces distributed guns and ammunition and strengthened military training.

"Comrades, the new year will bring a new atmosphere, so you, the senior commanders and fighters of the army, need to strengthen your study. Today I will tell you about the military situation. I hope everyone will listen attentively, broaden your horizons, and truly

Write down the situation in the base area

So for our Zhongwangshan base area, the Zhongwang Column and its armed forces are the foundation of our foothold. I hope everyone will keep this in mind. The training and regularization of the army cannot be careless at all. The situation is not optimistic.

Ah, around us

The Matsumoto Brigade in Yuanqu has always been eyeing us. Look, to the east is the Ximen United Army, which has been entrenched in the source of the river for many years, and to the west is the vicious Baichuan United Army, forming a double-team on us one on the left and the other on the right. To the south there are

The brigade entrenched in Yuanqu County

The troops directly under the ministry are always restraining the troops in the Lishan area of ​​the base area, which makes people feel uncomfortable!" A large map hung in the auditorium. Chen Long held a pointer and carefully pointed at each place, giving the students who participated in the study

More than 60 cadres at battalion level and above gave lectures.

"Moreover, the Japanese still have the 35th Division stationed in the Qinyang area, and they just fought with several of our troops a year ago. To be honest, although we did not suffer any losses, we also captured a lot, even the twelve that the Japanese destroyed.

The cannons at Menshan have been pulled back. These are not rags, soldiers.

Factory boss Zheng said that by cobbling together, you can always get three or five guns out, and at least you can form a mountain artillery battery. However, this group of devils have an extraordinary sense of smell on the battlefield. They are still launching attacks in the morning, and they smell the smell in the afternoon.

If something smells wrong, I immediately rush to break out.

The direction of the encirclement was also chosen unexpectedly. As a result, we, Lao Xie, could only follow behind and eat ashes. The special forces of the column also guarded the traps laid out, eager to see through them. Comrades, this is also a lesson.

One oversight allowed this group of devils to escape. Wait until we turn around

Look, everyone has gone to Heyuan County to wash up and sleep. With such a simple move, our tactical goal was ruined. Comrades, don't underestimate the Japanese!" Chen Long did not cover up the facts, he was serious about it.

I took this case in front of me to warn everyone.

"Although the 35th Division is only a C division, it has fought many battles. Nearly 20,000 troops are stationed in the Central Plains. They understand our geographical environment very well. If we add the 8,000 troops from Matsumoto's brigade,

There are many devils, come and attack

What should we do if they attack our base area? Are we sure we can defeat them?" Chen Long paused and glanced at the rows of generals, especially the regiment-level cadres in the first row, and even more

It inspires them to think."

Of course, in addition to these devils, there are also puppet troops and traitors. At present, the puppet troops entrenched around our base area are the Ninth Independent Army of the Imperial Association Army in Wulian Mountain, which were canonized by the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing.

Three jurisdictions

There are two brigades in the division, and there is also Zhang Xiaolang's brigade, with a total number of more than 30,000. They are powerful accomplices of the Japanese. If the Japanese invade, these guys will definitely be cannon fodder and pawns, and we cannot take it lightly.

Yes!"

If you don’t tell me, you don’t know, but you will be shocked when you tell me: there are 30,000 Japanese and 30,000 puppet troops just around the base area. If they really target the base area, it is no joke. In the past, the Central Army’s First War Zone

More than 200,000 troops were unable to defend the Zhongwang Mountain Area. Now they are replaced by

Can the Eighth Route Army hold on? After all, there are only 15,000 regular troops, 5,000 militiamen, and more than 10,000 Self-Defense Forces. The total number is only a little over 30,000. Once the statistics are counted, everyone becomes nervous.

The buzzing sound of discussion in the time auditorium started.

"Okay, this can be used as a class assignment for everyone to discuss afterwards. I think now we have to continue the class." Chen Long paused for about three to five minutes and tapped the map to stop everyone from discussing. "Tell everyone.

This much requires everyone to pay attention to it. After all, the Japanese have to guard such a large place, and everyone knows the combat effectiveness of the puppet army. Therefore, if we take advantage of the favorable terrain of the base area, we may not lose in a real fight!"

"Besides, the Japs have helpers, and we in the Eighth Route Army are not without natal families. Look, we have the Lao San Regiment and the Death Column to the west to contain the Baichuan Regiment, threatening Yuncheng Yanchi at all times, so that they dare not leave

Lao Lao. To the north is us.

The New Fourth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army defended our north, threatened the sealing pass, and contained at least one Japanese brigade and one puppet division; while there was an independent regiment in Heyuan County to the east, staring at the Japanese's flanks.

, also restraining Qinyang’s 3

Part of the 5th Division's garrison prevents them from dispatching at will. There are also various guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the Self-Defense Forces on the banks of the Yellow River, as well as the Japs and Second Japs guarding the Yellow River, which can be considered a help to some extent." Chen Long talked.

Talk, the general division belongs to

The troops pointed out each one one by one, "If we get anxious again, we can still go to Taiyue Mountain and Taihang Mountain to move reinforcements, but if we come all at once, it won't be a regular large force with an entire division and an entire brigade."

?If we really do it, who is afraid of whom?"

"Hahahahaha——" Chen Long's words made everyone's atmosphere lively again. Yes, the Eighth Route Army is developing rapidly at present. According to preliminary estimates, the regular army has reached more than 300,000, and there are more than 300,000 regular troops everywhere.

A large number of local troops such as county brigades, district squads, and armed workers' brigades also have backers.

"Of course, there are many troops of the national military system around us: Zhang Siyun's brigade belonging to the first theater, Zhao Xueqiu's division belonging to the military command, and the Jinsui Army troops in Jincheng in the north are ours.

They are also our competitors. They also resist Japan, but

We are also anti-communist, and we need to figure out how to get along with each other - we must maintain cooperation, but we must also be cautious, and we must learn and apply the "reasonable, beneficial and measured" handling principles put forward by the Party Central Committee. We can

Fight with them under the banner of the "Anti-Japanese United Front" to drive out the Japanese

Go to China!" In fact, even now, Chen Long's Zhongwang Column still carries the designation of the Zhongwang Independent Division of the National Army on its head, and Chen Long is also a party-state major general in the National Government. Although this matter has also been reported

It was filed with the military division and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but in fact it is still a hidden danger after all.

, it’s just that Chen Long is not easy to put on the table. But in actual operation, old party members including Qu Jinyun, Hu Dakang, and Tan Sihu were not reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs. Instead, Chen Xiaofu served as chief of staff, and Zhao Siwa

Several of them have served as brigade commanders, all with the rank of serious general.

Although this centralized training for senior officers only lasted for two short weeks, the instructors were all from the highest levels of the column: Chen Long personally gave lectures on military strategy and principles to cultivate his subordinates' overall perspective and battlefield adaptability.

; Qu Jinyun serves as a political and ideological teacher, systematically teaching you the political theory that combines Marxism-Leninism with the practice of the Chinese revolution; Tan Sihu talks about the course that focuses on staff layout, how to deploy troops, organize firepower, and arrange the order of attack according to the level of the battle.

, including logistics support

Assistance, battlefield treatment, retreat principles, etc., and arranged three tactical war games based on the current situation of the base area, which greatly improved the tactical level of the commanders; Hu Dakang's course is closer to actual combat, directly taking examples from the scale of battles at the battalion level,

through oneself

With more than a dozen combat cases, we will tell you about a series of tactical know-how such as positional warfare, ambush warfare, interception warfare, pursuit warfare, mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, and raid warfare. We will summarize the successes and failures, and learn from the blood and fire one by one.

The experience and lessons gained are passed on to cadres.

Many years later, many cadres who became the generals of the Republic still clearly remember this training session: the leaders of the column lived and ate together with the trainees, started exercising at six o'clock in the morning, ran and boxed together, and then lined up in the morning and afternoon

After a full course, they had to organize discussions and do homework in the evening. They had to be busy until nine o'clock in the evening before blowing the trumpet and turning off the lights. After this study, they will lead the troops to participate in battles of all sizes in the future and achieve one victory after another.
