Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Leopard nodded: "What about Chang Ting?"

Li Yan didn't say anything, but just asked Leopard and the others to take the time to recuperate.

He also asked Leopard to find a group of people who had set up a guerrilla force in Guanzhi Mountain to inquire about Liancheng's situation.

Hong Kong

Li, Chen, Cai, Lu Yun and members of the Grand Alliance held an emergency meeting in Li Lao's villa.

At the beginning of the meeting

Mr. Li laughed and said, "Since the failure in Fujian, we have experienced a total of 400 days."

"But from today on, our 19th Route Army has returned to Fujian, to the place where we once fought."

The members of the alliance below were all stunned

Suddenly there was a commotion in the villa

Those who reacted slowly were still thinking about what Mr. Li meant.

Those who reacted quickly were already wondering whether what Mr. Li said was true or false.

There were also those who were impatient and asked directly: "Mr. Li, what's going on? Please explain it clearly."

The three Li Lao just smiled, did not interrupt the crowd's speculation, and did not answer the crowd's questions.

After a while

Mr. Chen had to smile and interrupt everyone's discussion: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

“I know everyone is confused.”

"But now let's listen to what Mr. Li has to say."

The discussion in the villa gradually subsided.

Unable to suppress his joy, Mr. Li stood up and cleared his throat.

Then he slowly and seriously said: "Comrades, yesterday morning..."

"Our 19th Route Army has reclaimed Yong'an County"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the villa seemed to be frozen in time.

Eyes wide open, body motionless

Everyone held their breath unconsciously

They were afraid it was a dream and would dissipate with the slightest movement.

Someone couldn't help but stand up trembling and asked softly: "Is this true?"

Li, Chen, and Cai nodded to the crowd with tears in their eyes.

The villa was boiling instantly.

Some people jumped up from their chairs and shouted excitedly.

More people covered their faces and cried, hugged each other

He kept mumbling to himself: "We can go home now."

It took ten minutes for everyone to calm down.

Mr. Li said again: "Recovering Yong'an is a matter of great importance, and we did not discuss it with everyone in advance."

"Here, we would like to apologize to everyone first."

As they spoke, Li Lao and the other two stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

The people in the Grand Alliance are not ordinary people.

I fully understand the principle that if a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose himself; and if things are not discreet, they will become harmful.

The three elders Li are highly respected.

How could anyone dare to accept it? They kept dodging away.

Wait until everything is over

General Cai said: "Although we have now recovered Yong'an, the situation in Fujian is still very complicated."

“Whether we can stand firm is still unknown.”

"Now let Mr. Lu tell everyone about what happened and the current situation."

......

At 12 noon, Zhao Wu and the stonemason led the troops to Guanzhi Mountain to meet Li Yan.

Time is of the essence

Li Yan directly convened a combat meeting

"Mason, how are things at home?"

The stonemason said: "The old squad leader and the chief of staff have made careful arrangements."

"Let alone two divisions, even if the Nationalist army had one more division, they wouldn't be able to enter the heart of Meishan in the short term."

Li Yan nodded

After so many years of operation, Meishan has built many permanent fortifications inside.

If we only defend against two divisions of the National Army, there will be no problem.

But this time it's not just a defensive battle

Li Yan asked again, "Zhao Wu, how are Gao Xuan and the others in the Second Regiment doing?"

Zhao Wu replied: "After we pick up Gao Xuan and the others from Lianpeng Town..."

"Just as you requested, enter a defensive combat state."

"Before we left, the Nationalist troops attacking from Pengkou Town were still blocked outside Meishan."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "That's not right"

"Even if we had fortifications, the Kuomintang army's attack speed wouldn't be so slow."

Zhao Wu also frowned after Li Yan's reminder.

At this moment

Li Yan heard someone shouting behind him: "Instructor, instructor"

Li Yan recognized Tong Liang's voice and immediately turned around to look

Tong Liang rode a fast horse and came to Li Yan and his companions in a hurry.

He dismounted, took a breath, and said directly: "Instructor, the political commissar and the chief of staff asked me to tell you..."

'Things have changed'

"After the Nationalist Army captured Pengkou Town and Wan'an Town, they suddenly stopped advancing."

"And built fortifications outside Meishan"

"At the same time, we discovered that the enemy's heavy weapons had disappeared."

"The Chief of Staff suspected that the heavy weapons were taken away by the Nationalist troops attacking the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district."

"The goal is to capture the Southern Fujian Military Sub-district as quickly as possible."

"Then turn back and concentrate all our efforts to annihilate Meishan."

Zhao Wu sneered: "The enemy has a big appetite."

Li Yan thought quickly, and a huge plan formed in his mind.

Then he burst into laughter: "What a godsend!"

"The Art of War by Sun Tzu"

"The best strategy is to attack the enemy's mind, to conquer the enemy without fighting."

"This time I plan to engage in a psychological warfare with Liancheng's 45th Division."

"And we will also incorporate the 45th Division"

Zhao Wu and the stonemasons' eyes were filled with incredible shock.

What kind of magical warfare is this?

Li Yan then said to Tong Liang: "Tong Liang, you still need to work hard."

"Go back and tell the Chief of Staff to go to Gao Xuan's Second Regiment."
