Liu Yi had already left, but Yue Weihan was lost in thought looking at the big map.
In order to support the Wuhan Battle, Shimen must defend, but it cannot be defended forever!
If nothing unexpected happens, the Battle of Wuhan will definitely end with the final victory of the Japanese army. Wuhan will definitely be lost. The more than 100 main divisions of the national army gathered on the Wuhan battlefield will definitely be severely damaged, but they will never be completely annihilated by the Japanese army.
, after the Japanese army won the Battle of Wuhan and occupied Wuhan, they would also lose the ability to continue their offensive.
In another half month at most, the anti-Japanese battlefield will enter a stage of strategic stalemate.
Once a strategic stalemate enters, the Japanese army will definitely mobilize heavy troops to carry out large-scale public security operations in the occupied areas.
With the current combat effectiveness of the Baoshan Division, and with sufficient ammunition supplies, it can completely challenge the most elite permanent divisions of the Japanese army head-on. If it is an ordinary Japanese field division, it can fight at least two, but if faced at the same time,
If the Japanese army has more than three field divisions, then the Baoshan Division will have no choice but to escape.
Once the Japanese army launches a law and order campaign in the occupied areas, the Japanese army gathered on the North China battlefield will definitely exceed ten divisions. By then, the Baoshan Division will not be able to defend Shimen no matter what, so it will be a matter of time before it retreats.
What Yue Weihan needs to consider now is how to create a solid anti-Japanese base area in advance.
There is still at least half a month until the end of the Wuhan Battle, and if the Japanese army wants to mobilize heavy troops to launch a large-scale security war in North China, it will need at least two more months of preparation time. In other words, the Baoshan Division now still has
Two and a half months were used to run the anti-Japanese base area, which was plenty of time.
The question is, where should this anti-Japanese base be built?
First of all, this anti-Japanese base area cannot be too far from Shimen.
If the distance is too far, the thousands of pieces of equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal that Yue Weihan managed to obtain, as well as the equipment from the Shimen Coking Plant, Power Plant, Spin Mill, Chemical Plant, and Steel Plant cannot be moved there. If these equipment are not moved
If we move there and build corresponding factories, it will be impossible for the Baoshan Division to have the ability to continue fighting.
Secondly, there must be large coal mines and large iron mines near this anti-Japanese base area.
Weapons and ammunition are needed to fight wars, and steel is needed to make weapons and ammunition, so steel plants are needed. In addition to iron ore, steel plants also need electricity, so power plants are needed, and power plants need coal. Therefore, if the Baoshan Division wants to create a
A solid anti-Japanese base area, iron ore and coal mines are necessary.
Finally, and most importantly, this anti-Japanese base area must be built in a mountainous area!
The biggest feature of mountainous areas is rugged roads and dense vegetation. Rugged roads can block the entry of heavy equipment such as Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery. Dense vegetation can weaken the threat of Japanese aviation. If the Japanese army loses its heavy equipment and aviation
Support has no advantage at all in front of the Baoshan Division.
Yue Weihan's eyes slowly moved around the map, and finally stopped at the mountainous area northwest of Jingxing.
Jingxing County is about thirty kilometers away from Shimen City. It is an ancient county on the Zhengtai Railway and Zhengtai Highway. Since the Qin Dynasty, a county has been established here. Jingxing County is a mountainous county, surrounded by mountainous areas, with less than ten kilometers to the northwest.
Five kilometers away is Jingxing Coal Mine, which is a big coal mine, and the little devil is dominating that coal mine right now.
Jingxing Coal Mine is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are extremely steep and steep.
Guanyin Tuo, Xianglu Mountain, Qingfengkou, Longwang Bulge, Sow Cliff, Niushi Mountain, Zhongtai Nao, Pingtianguan, Heijian Mountain and other peaks are connected and endless. The heavy equipment of the Japanese army is absolutely inaccessible. The bombers have arrived.
We also have to be careful here. If we manage a little bit, we can build bunkers and fortifications at various passes. The Japanese army will never be able to attack it without paying ten times the price.
In addition, judging from the documents and resources obtained by the Japanese army stationed in Shimen, Jingxing County has quite abundant limestone and clay mineral reserves, and the main raw materials of cement are limestone and clay. The Japanese army is planning to build a large-scale cement company in Jingxing County.
The factory and equipment have been transported to Jingxing County.
The equipment for this cement plant is a must!
With the cement factory, Baoshan Division can run its own anti-Japanese base area with impregnable strength!
The only regret is that there seems to be no large-scale iron mines in Jingxing County and nearby areas. If a steel plant is built, it will be necessary to go over the Taihang Mountains to Yuanping and Daixian County to enter the iron ore. However, this is not a problem. The Baoshan Division will only
If you need to take out a small amount of guns and ammunition, you can get a large amount of iron ore from the Eighth Route Army and Jinsui Army.
"This is it!" Yue Weihan punched the map hard and made up his mind immediately.
There is coal, limestone and clay in the mountainous area northwest of Jingxing. It is also a mountainous area. It is only thirty kilometers away from Shimen. Iron ore can also be obtained. All conditions are fully met!
Just as Yue Weihan made up his mind, Liu Yi came back after sending the telegram.
Liu Yi was also followed by Gao Jingwu, the major director of the Intelligence Division of the Special Agent Regiment.
Gao Jingwu stood at attention, saluted Yue Weihan, and then said solemnly: "Military seat, the Intelligence Department has just deciphered the Japanese army's secret code. It is reported that the Central China Front Army and the North China Front Army Headquarters assigned the 6th, 13th, and 13th Army respectively.
The 20th Division has issued an order. These three divisions will attack Shimen along the Ping-Han Railway and Zhengtai Railway!"
"Hiss..." Liu Yi suddenly took a breath of air and said solemnly, "I didn't expect that the military commander really got it right!"
"This is also expected." Although Yue Weihan's face looked calm and charming, his heart was also very heavy. These were three field divisions, of which the 6th and 20th were permanent divisions! If these three were allowed to
The divisions rushed to Shimen at the same time, and the Baoshan Division would definitely be beaten to a pulp by them!
Although the Eighth Route Army was good at guerrilla warfare, it could not hold back the Japanese army for too long.
It seems that we must hurry up, otherwise it will be too late when the Japanese army comes to attack!
Yue Weihan waved his hand, signaling Gao Jingwu to stand down, and then said to Liu Yi: "Chief of Staff, immediately convene a meeting of the main officers of each brigade and regiment to announce the reorganization plan!"
Liu Yi said in astonishment: "Wait until the Military Commission returns the call?"
"No wait." Yue Weihan said decisively, "The military situation is like a fire, and it must be cut off!"
"Yes." Liu Yi stood at attention and said solemnly, "I will call the chief officers of each brigade and regiment for a meeting."
After watching Liu Yi leave, Yue Weihan raised his head again and shouted: "Chu Zhongtian!"
Chu Zhongtian's tall figure heard the sound and came in, and responded: "Military seat!?"
"Go." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Have Major Zhao Xinyi, the captain of the special agent team's publicity team, come over immediately."
"Yes." Chu Zhongtian agreed loudly and immediately accepted the order. The secret service group was stationed near the division headquarters. Chu Zhongtian left before he could even have a cup of tea when Zhao Xinyi arrived panting. Apparently, she trotted over.
of.
Yue Weihan waved his hand to reject Chu Zhongtian, and then smiled at Zhao Xinyi and said, "Please sit down, Comrade Zhao Xinyi."
Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but glance at Yue Weihan. The word "comrade" that Yue Weihan just said gave her a strange feeling, and even gave her an illusion. She almost thought that Yue Weihan was really her comrade, but Zhao Xinyi quickly dismissed it.
After realizing this ridiculous idea, he asked Yue Weihan: "Military Commander, are you looking for me?"
Yue Weihan was speechless and asked: "Has your headquarters responded?"
"The head of the headquarters just sent a telegram." Zhao Xinyi nodded solemnly, "The main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the teaching regiment and the independent brigade of the Southern Hebei Military Region will delay the Japanese 20th, 6th, and 13th Divisions for at least ten days at all costs. However,
Ten days is already our limit, and that's all we can help."
Yue Weihan said sincerely: "Comrade Zhao Xinyi, if your army can really hold off the Japanese army for ten days, it will really help our Baoshan Division. I will definitely provide a regiment of weapons and equipment to your army in the future to express my gratitude."
Zhao Xinyi declined politely and said: "Whether it is the National Army or the Eighth Route Army, we are all Chinese. It is our duty to fight against the Japanese and the Japanese. There is no need to thank you." The Eighth Route Army is now short of equipment, but the Baoshan Division is not well-off either.
Moreover, the Baoshan Division needs to fight the Japanese army head-on and needs more weapons and equipment than the Eighth Route Army. Zhao Xinyi still knows this simple truth.
"That can't be done." Yue Weihan waved his hand solemnly, and then said with a smile on his face, "However, Comrade Zhao Xinyi, I wonder if your party and army can do another small favor for our Baoshan Division?"
Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Yue Weihan's expression at this time no longer looked like a lieutenant general. Instead, he looked like a green-skinned scoundrel who had entangled with a kind person.
Zhao Xinyi's smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, she was so beautiful that Yue Weihan was a little lost for a moment.
"Military seat!?" Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yue Weihan. Yue Weihan just woke up from a dream, touched his nose with some embarrassment, and said, "That's it, I want to send several people to Shimen City and Zhengding County."
The factory and the thousands of pieces of equipment at Zhengding Station have been moved to Jingxing Mountain. This may require 50,000 people. I wonder if your party can help mobilize?"
"Fifty thousand civilians!?" Zhao Xinyi's mouth instantly opened into an "O" shape, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Military seat, I can report this situation to my superiors immediately, and I believe our party will do its best.
We will mobilize the masses, but it is really difficult to say how many people will be mobilized in the end."
"As long as your party is willing to help, this will definitely happen." Yue Weihan is full of confidence in the Communist Party. As a time traveler, Yue Weihan is well aware of the huge power of the Communist Party in mass work! Of course, this is entirely because of the origin of the Communist Party.
To the masses, they represent the interests of the broad masses of the people, so they can respond to a hundred responses.
Zhao Xinyi was a little surprised and said: "Military Commander, do you have so much confidence in our Communist Party?"
"Of course, I have never had confidence in the Kuomintang, but I have always had confidence in you, the Communist Party!" Yue Weihan's words seemed to indicate something, and Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but have a strange thought in her heart. Could it be that...
