Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"Yes, the path you have chosen is very correct."

Accompanied by a round of applause, Xingxingdiandian and Rufeng walked in together.

"It seems that you have learned the lesson from Fenglingdu and know that many things need to be done step by step."

Lu Xuan immediately saluted: "Mr. Chen!"

In the Battle of Northern Hebei, the International Youth Column deployed a total of 500,000 troops and pushed the Japanese invaders all the way.

However, the battle in northern Hebei was aimed at opening up the road from the liberated areas to the Northeast, and the troops did not linger in northern Hebei.

This resulted in a shortage of military forces in northern Hebei, with many cities having only one or two companies to maintain stability.

At that time, Longguo had not yet banned guns. There were banditry, secret societies, and remnants of traitors in the local area, and the composition was complex. Many local companies suffered premeditated attacks.

After the 162th Division's mobile forces were dispatched, more than a dozen companies were attacked within three days, resulting in more than 194 casualties, and the loss of 4 rifles, 60 pistols, machine guns, and two mm mortars.

Because of this, Feng Lingdu, who was stationed in northern Ji, was almost worried to death.

Originally they wanted to hand over northern Hebei to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but the commanders were now scattered in all directions and had no time to take over the city.

Instead, many bosses contacted Fenglingdu and asked him to prepare trains to quickly deploy troops, which was laughable.

In the end, CEO Wang Kai couldn't stand it anymore and asked local committees to cooperate with the players to maintain the stability of the city.

"We've been listening outside for a long time and have heard all your arrangements in our heads. You've made very good preparations!" Xingxingdiandian and Rufeng looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Rufeng explained to Lu Xuan in a serious tone: "I came to southern Henan earlier than you, and I know the local situation better than you."

"Since the National Government dug up the Huayuankou, a large area of ​​Yellow River flooding has occurred in southern Henan, northern Anhui, and the Jianghuai region, breeding a large number of bandit problems on the spot."

"Nowadays, folks in southern Henan not only have to guard against the national army, the devils, and the puppet army, but also the weather and bandits."

"Especially according to historical records, there will be a major disaster in the entire southern Henan in two years. The two of us came here so that you can quell the four pests in southern Henan."

"Flood, drought, locusts, and floods, these four pests have brought suffering to the common people in the Central Plains. Now Mr. Chen wants you to take charge of the Central Plains and defeat the four pests. Do you have the confidence?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan stood up excitedly: "I promise to complete the task!"

Ever since Xiao Zongmin personally wrote a telegram and sent it to the Third Division headquarters to reprimand him, he began to learn the ways of doing things from other division-level cadres among the players.

Especially after he saw Li Qingping's operations, it seemed that a door was opened for him.

Isn't there a shortage of food in southern Henan now? He exchanged a large amount of food to attract young and strong people nearby to join them.

Those who are willing to serve the motherland will be arranged to the military training camp.

Others organized themselves to build bridges and roads, develop water conservancy projects, and reclaim fertile land, thus restoring the productivity of the Central Plains granary in a short period of time.

During this period, their Third Division gradually expanded. In this era, if you have enough food, you will have enough soldiers.

Local people all know that soldiers in the reorganized Third Division of the Eighth Route Army have the best food, with three dry meals a day, two of which include meat.

He lived a better life than the big landlords. If the Third Division had not been strict in recruiting soldiers, he could have easily mobilized an army of 500,000.

"Ever since I encountered an ambush on the mountain, I have figured out one thing: the purpose of our coming here."

"When I learned that the Buddhist temple was actually a place that oppressed the people, I should have led people to overthrow them from the beginning."

"It was not until I went up and encountered an ambush that I realized that the monks who wanted to serve the country had already gone down the mountain to join the army. The rest were just some people with bad intentions, and there were also a lot of bandits among them."

"At that time, I realized that we shouldn't take a one-size-fits-all approach and simply drive the devils away. Our people still can't live a good life."

"Good!" Xingxingdian shouted with relief. During this period of time, they had indeed learned a lot in northern Shaanxi. Now, after hearing what Lu Xuan had done, they thought it was qualified.

"It's great that you think this way. We have also discovered during this period that although you are brave in leading troops in battle, you don't have the talent of Fukuzawa."

Speaking of this, Xingxingdiandian felt a little helpless. Now that the city was liberated by Chen Hubai’s Corps, many things had to be approved by him.

In his work, he found many problems. The cadres at the battalion and regiment levels in the Chen Hu Bai Corps had no experience in building local areas.

After all, when they grow up, the era of large-scale infrastructure has passed, and all that remains is patchwork.

Now that a blank sheet of paper is thrown to them, they don’t know where to start.

Thinking of this, Xingxingdiandian changed the subject and said:

"When Lao Hu heard the news that you went up the mountain alone, he was also very angry and scolded you for being stupid."

"Today, I think you are very happy about your transformation. Because you have learned a lot, and I have seen the changes in your base. You must really want our people to live a good life!"

"I look forward to coming to southern Henan next time, and seeing green wheat fields instead of the devastated Yellow River flooded areas."

Rufeng, who was standing by, saw that Xingxingdiandian had not gotten to the point, so he interrupted and said:

"The column headquarters sent you a telegram recently. We came here to hear your opinion."

When Lu Xuan heard this, he knew that the real show was about to begin, otherwise these two people, one at the corps level and the other at the deputy corps level, were the stewards of the Chen Hu Bai Corps and they should not have had much time to come and visit him.

So Lu Xuan walked to the map and began to tell his plan on the map.

"During this period, the column headquarters issued us an order to liberate southern Henan. I studied it carefully and found that there were only a few locations where the Japanese troops gathered in southern Henan."

"So I think we don't need to disperse our forces and liberate cities in brigade or regiment units. That would cause a lack of manpower."

"I have studied it carefully during this period. Although we are called a reorganized division, each division is actually an army-level unit."

"So, I carefully studied the organization of the troops directly under the headquarters. A regiment was reduced to 3000-5000 people. After ensuring the combat effectiveness of the troops, they must also remain flexible."

"After all, I think it is not advisable to directly gather a large army to sweep across like the Fifth Division did, and then only place a company in the local area to protect the people."

After hearing Lu Xuan's plan, Xingxingdiandian and Rufeng exchanged glances and nodded in satisfaction.

Today, the Third Division has a lot of troops. Drawing 50,000 people from various units will not affect the combat effectiveness of each unit at all.

But the impact these 50,000 people can play is enormous.
