Leader Li Hao, political commissar Wang Hong, chief of staff Hong Linfeng, deputy leader Luo Yun!
Several people are in a very good mood!
The calmness of more than half a month has not only restored some vitality to the base area, but the main force has also quietly changed day by day!
Of all the changes, the most intuitive one, and one that can be seen at a glance, is undoubtedly the patches of houses in the base area that were burned to ashes by the Japanese!
The huge manpower, material resources, and financial support made the reconstruction of the base area very fast, and the people also received a lot of income from this reconstruction!
In addition, the garrison spent a large amount of money to compensate the soldiers and civilians who died in the counter-mopping up!
The pain caused by the casualties to the people has begun to disappear little by little!
More than a dozen villages near the regiment headquarters were rebuilt first!
There is a new house to live in, and food is saved. Even if a family member dies on the anti-mopping battlefield, the family will still receive a large pension!
As time goes by, the smiles on everyone’s faces become bigger and bigger!
"Captain, in more than half a month, we have rebuilt nearly 200 houses! At this rate, we will definitely build all the houses burned down by the Japanese one month in advance so that the villagers can have homes to return to!"
Chang Luoyun reported excitedly!
All of this was led by him. As a person involved, it would be impossible not to be excited about completing this initiative in person!
"Half of the pension has been paid out now, and the remaining half will take half a month because of the distance!"
"The wounded in the field hospital recovered very quickly after increasing the dosage of medicines!"
"Nearly 40% of ordinary people have recovered and been discharged from hospital, and the rest should all be discharged within a month!"
"More than 200 people from the main force and guerrillas have recovered and can be discharged from the hospital at any time, and more than 300 people can be discharged from the hospital in the next half month!"
Li Hao thought for a moment and ordered: "All the seriously injured people who have recovered from the main force will be sent to the regiment headquarters and uniformly distributed to each battalion and company!"
"As long as there are no special circumstances, these seriously injured soldiers will all be upgraded to half a level after returning to the army!"
"Guerrilla members must obtain individual consent. If they are willing to join the main force, they will all be sent to the regiment headquarters for unified distribution!"
"As for Deputy Commander Luo, you just said that the reconstruction of the base area will be completed one month ahead of schedule. If nothing else, this wish should not be realized!"
"After you go back, based on the performance of all absentees and prisoners, take the best one thousand people and directly replenish the army!"
"The 300 veterans who support us in the northern Shanxi base area, plus the more than 200 people who have recovered in the hospital, that's 500 veterans!"
"One veteran leads two new recruits to directly replenish the army!"
"After years of battlefield practice, this matching ratio is the best. It does not affect the combat effectiveness of the troops and allows new recruits to quickly develop combat effectiveness!"
"In order to solve the problem of insufficient troops in the army, I decided to restore the troops to full strength immediately!"
Hong Linfeng shouted with his eyes shining!
"I agree!"
"During this period of training, the company commanders of each battalion have asked me more than once when I will complete their establishment!"
"Now the company commanders of each battalion have almost trained their troops at hand, and they are looking forward to the regiment headquarters to add new recruits to them every day!"
"With the addition of 500 veterans and 1,000 new recruits at once, the total strength of our garrison will exceed 3,500, making it a truly strengthened regiment!"
Wang Hong’s face is not so pretty!
Seeing Hong Linfeng getting more and more excited as he spoke, he quickly interrupted: "Chief of Staff, don't be too happy too soon!"
"We have veterans and new recruits, but where is the equipment?"
"The regiment headquarters currently does not have a single machine gun in stock, and the rifles are just enough to equip a platoon!"
"To recruit more than 1,500 people at once, unless we put away all the weapons equipped by the guerrillas in the base area, we can only equip them with broadswords and grenades!"
"But it's definitely not realistic!"
"The guerrillas and local troops all use 79-caliber weapons. Suddenly equipping the troops will not only disrupt the caliber of the troops' equipment, but also put huge pressure on the logistics department!"
The smile on Hong Linfeng's face disappeared!
He sighed and replied: "It would be great if we could get back the equipment we hid in Lingqiu City!"
"I don't know exactly how much equipment the troops have hidden in Lingqiu, but it will definitely be enough to equip three to four thousand people!"
"There are also artillery pieces hidden by the artillery. If we can get them back, not only can the artillery battery be fully staffed, but the firepower companies of each battalion can also be worthy of their names!"
After saying that, Hong Linfeng turned his attention to the group leader, expecting Li Hao to have a solution.
The result really did not disappoint him!
Facing the questions raised by the political commissar, Li Hao's expression remained calm, without any change!
Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Captain, do you have a solution?"
"Old way! Grab!"
Li Hao didn't say any nonsense and answered directly!
Hong Linfeng reacted suddenly, his eyes became hotter and hotter, and he shouted with excitement!
"Yes, just grab it. I almost forgot about this most direct method!"
"There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy made them for us!"
"We don't have guns in our hands, but the Japs do. If we grab them, we will have them, and we can also kill the Japs. Kill two birds with one stone!"
"Yes, let's do it!"
"Captain, where should we fight?"
Soldiers are all eager to fight, and Hong Linfeng is no exception!
However, there was one person in the conference room who didn't get excited when he heard about the battle and wished he could go to the battlefield right now!
He is political commissar Wang Hong!
As the final hurdle for every decision made by the garrison, he must remain calm at all times, so as to avoid the leader from making impulsive decisions!
As soon as Li Hao said the word "rob", his brows furrowed!
Seeing Hong Linfeng getting more and more excited as he spoke, he interrupted directly: "Captain, don't be impulsive!"
"The base area has finally been peaceful for more than 20 days, and various developments are recovering step by step!"
"Now that we are rashly provoking a war, once the Japanese army takes the opportunity to invade our base area, this peace will definitely be interrupted, and the development of the base area will also be interrupted!"
"I suggest that the troops stay still until the base area is completely restored and the people have completely recovered from the last counter-sweep before we take action!"
"Also, although the arsenal is in full production during this period, the regiment headquarters has an inventory of nearly 200,000 rounds of ammunition, and it has also accumulated a lot of artillery shells!"
"But we don't have cannons, especially powerful mountain cannons!"
"According to the intelligence, all the Japs around us who can attack are in large groups, relying on bunkers and gun towers. Without powerful siege artillery like mountain cannons, if you want to capture the Japs' heavily defended gun tower strongholds, you will definitely be better than Den.
The weather will be even more difficult, and the casualties of the troops will be very huge, which is likely to be beyond our endurance!"
Li Hao replied with confidence: "Political Commissar, your analysis is good!"
"But I think it's better to fight this battle sooner rather than later!"
"As for the heavy weapons issue you mentioned, don't worry, since I dare to propose to fight them, there is a solution!"
Seeing that Wang Hong was about to speak again subconsciously, Li Hao added!
"Political Commissar, please listen to what I have to say first!"
"There are several reasons why it is better to fight this battle earlier than later!"
"First, although there were no accidents in the drug transaction ten days ago, there is one thing I can be sure of!"
"The Nakata family will definitely not be at our mercy!"
"They offered to give us more medicines and received ten thousand less. They have only one purpose: to stabilize us first, and then plan some conspiracy to deal with us!"
"As the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open arrow, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!"
"If we want to avoid the Nakata family's conspiracy against us, we must first improve our external environment!"
"This way when hidden arrows attack, we can concentrate on dealing with them!"
"Second: The Japanese will definitely not let our garrison go easily!"
"They lost their troops during the winter raids and their troops are insufficient, so now they are surrounding us instead of attacking us!"
"Once they recover their lost troops and decide to kill us, these three infantry brigades will definitely become the main force attacking us!"
"And with the existence of these three infantry brigades, the enemy forces that need to be assembled will be three fewer brigades, and the pressure on them will be much less!"
"If we take the initiative to attack now and devour the Japs from the three surrounding brigades one by one, it will disrupt the Japs' deployment! Even if the Japs want to besiege us in the future, we will have to mobilize three more infantry brigades, and the pressure from the Japs will also be reduced.
It will increase significantly and our development time will be longer!”
"Third, and more intuitively, is the equipment in the hands of the little devil!"
"We are short of equipment, but the little devils have it. If we snatch it back, we will have it!"
"Based on these three points, I decided to take the initiative to attack these three brigades and kill them!"
"And the arsenal has been working overtime recently to produce modified weapons and ammunition for us, which undoubtedly gave me the confidence to attack the Japanese in advance!"
