"Not to mention the fall of Taiyuan this time, it is directly the masterpiece of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!"

Speaking of this meal, Ningji Okamura said again: "Youmo-kun, have you analyzed why the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army achieved such terrible results?"

You Mo Jing said: "Maybe it is because of the chief officer? Chen Gen, the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, is one of the rare high-achieving students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy in the Communist camp. He has a solid military theoretical foundation, his style on the battlefield is also extremely tough, and what is even rarer is his tactical mind."

Okamura Ningji said: "The military commander is indeed one of the factors, but it is by no means the decisive factor, because he is not the only military commander like Chen Gen in the Eighth Route Army, but there are only three who can achieve such a brilliant record." The [-]th Brigade, so there must be other more critical factors."

Youmo Jingsan said: "Because of those brave generals from the [-]th Brigade?"

Speaking of this meal, Youmo Jingsan said again: "According to the investigation of the intelligence department, the four main regiments under the jurisdiction of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Cheng Shifa, the head of the [-]nd Regiment, Ding Wei, the head of the New First Regiment, and the new Kong Jie, the head of the Second Regiment, and Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment, both had experience as soldiers at the grassroots level, and possessed extremely stable psychological qualities, and could be calm in any situation. It has an extremely fierce style, just like a wolf on the grassland, no matter what size prey it encounters, it dares to bite."

Okamura Ningji said: "I'm afraid this is not the decisive factor."

After a pause, Ningji Okamura said again: "As far as I know, as you said, there are not a few Eighth Route Army commanders who have the experience of being a soldier, have a stable psychological quality, and have a fierce style. Those in Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei In the Eighth Route Army, at least dozens of commanders of the Eighth Route Army can be found no less than Li Yunlong, but none of their troops can make a record like Li Yunlong's independent regiment, right?"

Yusue Seizo frowned upon hearing this.

There was a long silence in the office.

After thinking for a long time, Yusue Seizo suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, I understand, it's the logistics! The decisive factor is the logistics!"

Speaking of this meal, Yuemo Jingsan said again: "Having a military chief like Chen Gen, and having such a powerful general as Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Cheng Shifa are just the prerequisites, that is, the foundation."

"A troop, if there is no foundation, it is certainly impossible to do much."

"But if there is only the basics and no logistical support, it is also impossible to do much."

"Only with a good foundation and sufficient logistical support at the same time, can an army fly high and create brilliant achievements on the battlefield!"

"Exactly!" Neiji Okamura nodded happily, "It's the logistics."

Speaking of this meal, Okamura Ningji said again: "Youmo-kun, I don't know if you have noticed that the biggest difference between the [-]th Brigade and other Eighth Route Army is that they often fight annihilation battles!"

"Yes." Arisue Seizo said solemnly, "First the Kuroshima Regiment, then the Yamazaki Battalion, and then the Ninth Brigade and the Field Observation Group. During the Hundred Battles Regiment, the [-]th Brigade captured Yangquan in one fell swoop. The county town nearly wiped out the Fourth Brigade, and the joint Jinsui Army completely wiped out the Fourth Cavalry Brigade at Feiyundu, all of them were battles of annihilation!"

Okamura Ningji said again: "So have you discovered another rule?"

"Yes, I found out." Yusuesan nodded and said, "The annihilation battle fought by the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is becoming larger and larger. At first they could only annihilate the imperial army at the brigade level, and then The imperial army at the wing level, and then the imperial army at the brigade level. Now, they even have the strength to launch a big city like Taiyuan. This is unbelievable. You must know that even the Central Army of China does not have this Strength!"

"So, how did the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army do it?" Neiji Okamura asked again.

"Because they kept accumulating equipment and supplies in the battle of annihilation." Seizo Arisue said without hesitation, "Like a snowball, it keeps getting bigger and bigger until they have the powerful attacking ability they have now!"

After a pause, he said again: "On the other hand, although the other Eighth Route Army is very powerful, but because they rarely fight annihilation battles on the battlefield, they can't accumulate equipment and supplies like the [-]th Brigade. It is impossible to get bigger and bigger like a snowball, so as to gain more and more powerful ability to fight the war of annihilation."

"By the way, Yumo-kun, you finally got to the point!" Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice, "Excellent chiefs like Chen Gen and giants like Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong are nothing to be afraid of. What is really worthy of vigilance is the logistics. In the future public security war, the imperial army should not only avoid being annihilated by the Eighth Route Army as much as possible, but also prevent the Eighth Route Army from establishing its own logistics support and supply system at all costs!"

After a pause, Okamura Ningji said again: "After the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army captured Taiyuan this time, not only can they seize a battle of combat supplies stored in Taiyuan, but they can also get ten of them established in Taiyuan by Mitsui and Sumitomo Corporation." With all the machinery and equipment in several factories, with these equipment, the [-]th Brigade has the opportunity to establish a complete logistics support supply system."

"Indeed." Seizo Arisue said, "Among the dozen or so factories established by Mitsui and Sumitomo in Taiyuan, in addition to civilian industries, there are even military industries such as iron and steel plants, power plants, and chemical plants. The Eighth Route Army The [-]th Brigade will definitely move these machines, equipment and even production lines back to their base area and rebuild the factories. Once these factories are rebuilt and put into operation, the [-]th Brigade will be able to obtain a steady stream of ammunition, and the imperial army will be in big trouble gone."

"Yes." Neiji Okamura agreed deeply, "In the past two years, the Eighth Route Army has increasingly shown a different mental outlook from the China Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army. With a firm belief, the heroic performance of its officers and soldiers on the battlefield is no less than that of the imperial army."

Speaking of this meal, Okamura Ningji said again: "The only thing restricting this army now is logistics. Due to the lack of stable and continuous ammunition supplies, it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to launch large-scale offensive operations. Guerrilla tactics such as warfare and mine warfare were used against the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army."

Arisue Seizo continued: "But once the Eighth Route Army is allowed to build power plants, steel plants, and arsenals, the Eighth Route Army will have a stable and continuous supply of ammunition, and then the logistical shortcomings that restrict the Eighth Route Army will no longer exist. In this way, the Eighth Route Army It also has the ability to launch large-scale offensive operations."

Neiji Okamura said awe-inspiringly: "Once the Eighth Route Army has the ability to launch large-scale offensive operations, the Eighth Route Army in the three large bandit areas and dozens of small bandit areas in North China will all become elite troops like the [-]th Brigade. Mo Jun, you might as well imagine what the situation in North China will be like then?"

Yusue Seizo said in amazement: "At that time, not only Taiyuan, but also Jinan, Zhengding, Baoding, Tianjin and even Beiping will be in danger. The eight divisions and ten brigades of the North China Front Army will all face the danger of being encircled and wiped out." risk, the entire North China Security District will also face the danger of falling!"

"So, we must prevent this from happening!"

Neiji Okamura said in a deep voice: "We will stop this situation at all costs."

Arime Seizo said sternly, "Your Excellency General, you mean to give up the plan to mop up the bandit areas in Central Hebei, and start a mop-up operation against the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army instead?"

"No, the mopping up of bandit areas in Central Hebei must continue as usual."

Neiji Okamura shook his head, and said: "The reason is very simple, because we need a victory to boost morale, and we need a victory to convince the senior officials in the base camp."

Youmo Jingsan frowned and said, "Then the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army..."

Neiji Okamura waved his hand and said: "Rome was not built in a day. Although the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has machinery and equipment, it is definitely not two days a day if you want to build factories and put them into operation, and establish a complete logistics support and supply system based on these factories." It can be done in a day, it will take a long time, so I still have enough time."

"Hayi." Youmo Jingsan paused and said, "Understood."

Neiji Okamura said again: "Let's start tomorrow."

"Hai." Yusue Seizo nodded heavily again.

……

One night passed, and the time came to May 1942, 5.

After several months of preparation, under the personal command of Neiji Okamura, the divisions and brigades directly under the North China Front launched the brutal "May [-]st Raid" against the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the various departments of the Japanese army on the Shanxi battlefield are still in chaos.

Because Yoshio Iwamatsu, the original commander of the First Army, had committed seppuku.

The candidate for the new commander of the First Army has not yet been determined and is said to be still in the works.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army, was still under the control of the [-]th Brigade.

The Third Brigade and Fourth Brigade of the First Army are still stationed in Anhua and Yangquan.

Although the No.30 Sixth Division, No.30 Seventh Division, and No.60 Ninth Division, which were originally in the Taihang Military Region, began to return to aid, they were not in a hurry. The action of returning to aid was extremely slow, and the speed of advancing was comparable to that of the iron wall, only walking ten kilometers a day.

In all fairness, the Nationalist government has continued to operate in various ways,

But there are too many coquettish operations on the side of Little Japan.

Not to mention the strange dispute between the army red deer and the navy red deer.

At the end of the Battle of Taiyuan, Tojo’s senior soldier also came to Bosao’s operation. First, he decisively forced Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, to be responsible for the failure of the Taiyuan Battle, and then hesitated in choosing the next commander. Okamura Ningji chose to stand on the sidelines out of the consideration of caring for feathers.

Therefore, for six or seven days, the Japanese First Army in Shanxi was in a leaderless state.

This gave the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army enough time to transfer materials and factory machinery and equipment.

In the last few days, Zhao Gang even organized a work team to liquidate the Japanese puppet assets and traitors in Taiyuan. A total of more than 100 traitors were found and sentenced to death.

This includes Bai Wenhui, the pseudo Taiyuan mayor and pseudo Shanxi police chief who had no time to escape, and Bai Wenhui's son, the patrol captain Bai Jushan, who was the idiot whose face was swollen by Wang Ye's slap at Yoshino's home. In addition, the big traitor Nie Shengzhe was also shot, and the people of Taiyuan all applauded.

……

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to May [-]th.

This morning, Ding Wei was on the phone at the headquarters.

"Hello, old Cheng?" Ding Wei held the microphone and said, "You mean the forward of the No. 60 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, an infantry brigade of the 292nd Infantry Regiment has arrived outside Yuci County?"

"And has launched a tentative attack on the defense line of the 772st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment?"

"Okay, okay, I understand. Now Taiyuan's liquidation of the Japanese and puppet traitors has come to an end, and the confiscated Japanese and puppet assets and property have also been transported away."

"Yes, your 772 regiment can retreat at any time."

"However, considering that the main force of the No.60 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army is on the opposite side, I suggest that you turn to the west of Shanxi and return to Taiyue Mountain via the Luliang Mountains."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Wei said to Li Xiaoxian: "Chief of Staff, let the telephone team switch off the line, we will also withdraw."

After this pause, Ding Wei asked Wang Ye again: "Xiao Wang, how are things going with your Wolf Warrior Squadron?"

"Don't mention it." Wang Ye took a sip of cold water and said angrily, "I haven't found a decent engineer."

"What? Didn't find any?" Ding Wei said in amazement, "Impossible, so many factories, all the engineers have all run away? Is there really no one left?"

"Not really, there are still a few."

Wang Ye shook his head and said: "But these are not technical backbones. On the premise of building a production line, these people can still organize production step by step, but asking them to take the lead in rebuilding a factory is just a dream."

Chapter 466 Get rid of Chu Yunfei

"Then aren't we working in vain?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's face collapsed, and he said, "If we can't find an engineer, then what's the use of moving these iron lumps back to Northwest Shanxi and Mount Taiyue?"

After saying this, he said again: "Is it melted to hit a big blade?"

Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "The problem on Taiyue Mountain is not that big. The factories such as textile mills, cigarette factories, breweries, leather factories, and flour mills are not that difficult. Transfer people from Yan'an through the organization."

Since the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, young students have continued to go to Yan'an.

These students have all kinds of majors. It should be no problem to find a group of students to serve as technical backbones and undertake the construction and production of textile, cigarette, wine, leather and other factories.

"But our side in Northwest Shanxi is very troublesome."

After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "Because the technical requirements of steel factories, power plants, and arsenals are much higher than those of textile, brewing, and leather factories!"

Li Yunlong said: "Is it that exaggerated?"

"That's an exaggeration." Wang Ye said, "Let me put it bluntly. In factories such as textile factories, cigarette factories, breweries, and flour mills, even if there are no skilled workers, we can install the machinery and equipment by ourselves. It is good and put into production, but factories like steel mills, power plants, and arsenals have been groping for hundreds of years by ourselves, and I am afraid that there is no way to assemble the equipment and put it into production.”

"So serious?" Li Yunlong said, "That's really troublesome."

Speaking of this meal, Li Yunlong said again: "If we can't find anyone, the machinery and equipment we spent a lot of time transporting back to Fuliang Mountain will be useless at all, so it's not a big loss?"

Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "So we have to find a way to find someone, even if we use illegal means to kidnap someone."

This was just heard by Zhao Gang who came in outside, and Zhao Gang quickly dissuaded him: "Xiao Wang, our Eighth Route Army is disciplined. Kidnapping and blackmailing are not allowed, no matter what the starting point is."

Wang Ye quickly said: "Political commissar, I'm just talking casually, I won't really kidnap people."

"That's good." Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Xiao Wang, I haven't asked you why you kidnapped someone?"

"It's not because of the machinery and equipment." Li Yunlong said, "Xiao Wang said that if we can't find intellectuals, the machinery and equipment we transported back to Fuliang Mountain will be useless at all."

"Intellectual?" Zhao Gang frowned, "Is it an engineer?"

"One meaning." Li Yunlong snorted softly, "Anyway, they are all scholars."

"There is a big difference between intellectuals and engineers." Zhao Gang said, "Intellectuals are a large group, and engineers are only a small part of them. If it can’t be reflected, when the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future and the construction of the country begins, the role of engineers will be greatly increased.”

From these words, Wang Ye could tell that Zhao Gang was a man with lofty aspirations. His vision was no longer limited to the war in front of him, but he was already thinking about national construction after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Speaking of this meal, Zhao Gang said again: "Xiao Wang, it's hard to find engineers for steel factories, power plants, and arsenals. Don't say that we are in Northwest Shanxi, but I'm afraid we won't be able to find suitable ones when we go to Yan'an."

"That's right." Wang Ye sighed, "So this matter is very troublesome."

Zhao Gang smiled, and said, "I actually have a way to solve this problem, but there is a condition."

"I said Old Zhao, can you stop being so coy and like a bitch." Li Yunlong said impatiently, "Say something quickly, and fart quickly."

Zhao Gang's face turned down: "Old Li, can you speak well?"

Wang Ye quickly changed the subject and said, "Commissar, tell me, what are the conditions?"

Zhao Gang said very seriously: "Lao Li and Xiao Wang, this time Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang sent troops to rob Heyuan County and Fu'an County while our independent group was out. It is indeed very excessive!"

"But we must also notice that Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang are still different from the previous Zhu Huaibing and Zeng Yinwu."

"Zhu Huaibing, Zeng Yinwu and others have no bottom line in their actions. They wantonly killed the cadres and masses in our base areas and committed unforgivable crimes, but Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang still kept their bottom line."

"At least, the two of them didn't indiscriminately kill the cadres and fighters of our democratic government."

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued: "Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang not only released the cadres and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government in Heyuan and Fu'an County afterwards, but even returned the weapons and equipment to us."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was a little unhappy.

At that moment, Li Yunlong said with a black face: "So what do you mean, old Zhao?"

Zhao Gang didn't give in at all, and said to Li Yunlong: "I just want to say that since Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang didn't completely break up with us, then we shouldn't break up with them either."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "I mean to engage in literary combat as much as possible, and not engage in violent combat."

"Wen Dou?" Li Yunlong frowned, "What is Wen Dou? Old Zhao, you can speak directly."

Zhao Gang said: "What Wendou means is that Chu Yunfei can grab our territory, we can also grab theirs, and even disarm them, but there is one rule: no one can be killed! Even if we disarm, we must We must try to disarm them neatly, and don't kill people because of the scuffle."

"That's it?" Li Yunlong changed into a smile in seconds, "I thought you were telling us to be patient."

"Patience?" Zhao Gang said, "How can this kind of thing be tolerant? The chairman has already said that if people do not offend me, I will not offend. If people offend me, I will definitely offend. So there is no doubt that I will fight back!"

"Old Zhao, you are right to think so." Li Yunlong laughed.

"Besides, I mean the same thing with Lao Ding and Xiao Wang. We won't completely turn against Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang. After all, the devil has not been beaten away. If we really beat you to death, the devil will not be happy? "

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong said again: "But Chu Yunfei, the American mountain artillery regiment, I have to decide!"

Zhao Gang was taken aback when he heard the words, and said unexpectedly: "Old Li, you have already designed it, so you just keep it from me?"

"Political commissar, you have wronged us. We just have such a preliminary idea." Wang Ye quickly explained, "I haven't thought about how to operate it at all."

After a pause, he said again: "It's your method just now, what is it?"
