Huang Yu retorted on the spot: "You can't fight like this..."
"Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests..."
"The Kwantung Army is not a fool..."
"As long as the little devils in the villages around our team take action against Japanese expatriates, the Kwantung Army will definitely target Qinglong Mountain as the first suspect."
"At that time, as long as they deploy a division to encircle Qinglong Mountain, even if it snows in winter, with the little devil's equipment level and logistics supply capabilities, they can still find us and eliminate us."
"We must find a target farther away."
"Even if the Kwantung Army wants to send out heavy troops to sweep us away, they can only blind us and cannot find us. They don't even know who their opponent is."
As soon as Li Yunlong heard Huang Yu's words, he knew that Huang Yu had something in mind and asked directly: "Don't be pretentious. Where do you want to hit? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I, Li Yunlong, am not the kind of person who is coy and unable to accept other people's opinions."
"Besides, you have a lot of clever ideas and considerate issues comprehensively. I know all of this, otherwise I wouldn't let you be my partner..."
"The railway line from Shenyang to Beiping..." Huang Yu pointed to the only southbound railway line on the map.
"It is hundreds of kilometers long from Shenyang to Shanhaiguan, and more than half of the railway line is located in the mountains. The defense is very poor and the garrison is very small."
"I think this creates a great opportunity for us."
"Blowing up the railway line will not only slow down the Kwantung Army's march south to Pingjin and reinforce the North China Front, but also buy more buffer time for the Yizhong base area."
"It can also expand our influence, let the common people know that there is still a team in Liaoning dedicated to fighting against Japs, and shake the Kwantung Army's dominance in Liaoning."
"There is another benefit..."
"In order to turn the three northeastern provinces into their logistics base for invading the whole of China, the little devils have been developing the Northeast in a big way in recent years."
"The development along the railway line is undoubtedly the best..."
"Good development means more gains..."
"After all, the supplies and ammunition brought by the troops from within the customs are limited, especially food, so we have to eat a little bit and a little bit less."
"It doesn't matter that the food brought out of the customs is enough for us to last for half a year, but if the army doubles its strength in one or two months, this small amount of food will only be enough for us to last three months."
"A large amount of food and other materials can definitely be seized by attacking along the railway line..."
"Maybe we can also harvest some weapons and ammunition."
"As far as I know, all Japanese expatriates operating in Northeast China have been issued weapons and ammunition."
"These people are much easier to fight than the Kwantung Army."
"While destroying the railway line, we can take down some villages and kill the little devils and foreigners who oppress the people. Maybe we can also seize a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and gain some recruits and people's hearts."
Li Yunlong was moved when he heard this: "The railway line is one or two hundred kilometers away from our station. If we disperse our troops and launch company-based attacks on dozens of strongholds on the railway line at the same time, the Kwantung Army will send out more troops to retaliate against us. We can only catch them blindly, and even if they beat us to death, we would never have thought that we would be hiding in Qinglong Mountain, which is two to three hundred kilometers away from the railway line."
"This is a good idea..."
"I agreed……"
"Just as I said just now: the troops are divided into companies and operate in units..."
"Launch simultaneous attacks in one night, blow up the railway line, kill the Kwantung Army garrison, complete the looting mission and then retreat..."
"In order to avoid exposing the target, all troops cannot withdraw directly to their bases. They must make several more rounds on the battlefield so that the Kwantung Army can completely lose track of each unit before they can retreat secretly..."
Huang Yu then interjected: "Whether it is a raid on the railway line or a retreat, it must be carried out on a snowy night..."
"The footprints created by the soldiers' march will be covered by wind and snow in a short time. Even if they capture search and rescue dogs, after a night of raging wind and snow, they will not be able to search for us through smell and find us..."
"in addition……"
"Each main company participating in the operation must carry at least fifty mules and horses..."
"Using mules and horses to transport trophies reduces the load on the troops and can also bring back more trophies, especially food."
"The little Japanese immigrants specialize in bullying the local people, and they must have a lot of food in their hands..."
"Except for what is distributed to the local people, all the remaining grain that can be taken away will be taken away. What cannot be taken away will be found somewhere to hide, and we will find a way to transport it back to the base area in the future."
"We are fighting alone in the Northeast. We have no solid base and may retreat at any time."
"As long as we have food, weapons and ammunition in our hands, our troops can maintain combat effectiveness no matter where they are transferred."

Kwantung Army Headquarters.
General Umezu Umejiro is listening to a report about reinforcements going south.
His face is sometimes gloomy, sometimes happy, very complicated.
In the middle of listening, Umezu Umejiro suddenly slapped his hand on the table, and cursed with dissatisfaction: "Bagoya Road, what do the Jilin garrison and Heilongjiang garrison do for food? Don't you know how fast soldiers are?"
"It's been so long, and I haven't even mobilized the three main divisions..."
"Immediately send a telegram to the commanders of the two garrisons..."
"At most three days..."
"If the three main divisions dispatched by the headquarters have not assembled at the train station, they should stop..."
"Intelligence shows..."
"The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong is expanding its troops on a large scale and training troops..."
"If we launch the attack one day later, their overall combat effectiveness will be stronger, and the troops will suffer more casualties in the battle..."
"Let them overcome the impact of the harsh environment and quickly assemble the troops in place..."
When the combat staff quickly recorded the order, the chief of staff stood up and comforted him at the right time: "Your Excellency, Commander..."
"It's not entirely their fault..."
"I just received the report... It's snowing heavily again in Jilin and Heilongjiang..."
"The snow thickness in many places has exceeded half a meter... Even normal military training has been suspended, let alone field marches and troop assembly..."
"After a while, I personally called them and urged them to seize the time to assemble the troops..."
"If you can't move by car, you have to march on two legs. We must gather the reinforcements going south within three days and take the train south to North China..."
Having said this, the Chief of Staff couldn't help but frown and continued his analysis: "Your Excellency, Commander..."
"The railway guard just called..."
"The cavalry is getting colder and colder, the snow along the railway is getting thicker and thicker, and the garrison can no longer patrol normally..."
"They hope that the headquarters will tell them to slow down the frequency of patrols... In their records, the entire railway line has not been attacked for three months. The colder the weather, the lower the possibility of being attacked."
"Reducing the frequency of patrols does not affect rail line safety at all."
