Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

The old squad leader took over and said, "I have discussed this with the division commander and the chief of staff."

"The Meishan base can no longer keep up with our current pace of development."

"But the Meishan base already has a certain foundation in agriculture, fishery, forestry, animal husbandry, and mining."

"So our idea is to turn Meishan into our logistics base."

The old squad leader's words made everyone's eyes light up.

We have experienced so many things in Meishan

It's emotional

If we abandon the Meishan base now

Can't bear to

Li Yan took over the old squad leader's words and said: "Meishan is easy to defend but difficult to attack"

“Abundant supplies”

"There are so many construction corps and ordinary people"

"Meishan already has the basic conditions to become an important logistics base"

"In my plan"

"The Meishan Logistics Base will not only provide our military with various production materials, storage and transportation capabilities."

"It also needs to have the function of providing medical treatment and cultivating various talents."

“So we have to keep building various factories in Meishan.”

“Improve the facilities and standards of hospitals and schools”

"Therefore, Meishan Logistics Base will become the top priority for our next development."

They are all veterans who have experienced many battles.

Deeply understand the importance of a late-stage base

A troop wants to win a battle

It is not only about having a high political level and strong military quality.

More importantly, logistical support

A good logistical support can double the combat effectiveness of the troops

Li Yan looked at everyone and nodded frequently

He continued: "So I want to choose from your four groups"

"Select a troop to enter Meishan"

"We must not only do a good job in the defense of Meishan, but also do a good job in the construction of Meishan"

"Look who's going"

Li Yan's words startled Zhao Wu, Gao Xuan, Zhang Dong, and Su Shan.

Although they all know the importance of logistics bases

But let them go from front-line combat troops to logistics troops

There was a reluctant expression on his face

Gao Xuan's eyes rolled

He immediately said, "Master."

"You know I have a bad temper and I don't have much education."

"If I were to go to the logistics base, I wouldn't be able to do it well."

"Why don't you take a look at Zhao Wu, Zhang Dong, Su Shan and the others?"

"They are all better than me..."

Gao Xuan hasn't finished speaking yet

Zhao Wu immediately said: "I say you, Gao Xuan, are really evil-minded."

“I don’t want to go”

"Let us go"

Su Shan also hurriedly cursed: "Lao Gao"

"Your idea is not acceptable."

"The division commander said that the Meishan Logistics Base is the focus of our next development."

"Your 71st Regiment suffered the least losses in this battle and has the strongest combat effectiveness."

"I think you are the most suitable one"

......

When Zhao Wu, Gao Xuan and Su Shan were arguing fiercely

Zhang Dong stood up

He said carefully: "Master"

"Let me do it."

Zhang Dong's words brought silence to the meeting room.

Everyone watched Zhang Dong

The importance of Meishan Logistics Base to Li Yan is self-evident

But building the Meishan logistics base is a complex undertaking.

Zhao Wu and Gao Xuan are both capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

But the general who can't lift the embroidery needle

They are not suitable

The best candidates are Zhang Dong and Su Shan

They are both talented in both literature and martial arts, and have delicate minds.

But Su Shan wanted to join the frontline combat troops

Dare to argue with the leaders of the Southwest Fujian Military Region

As for Zhangdong

It was to be able to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese invaders

Just joined the Red Army

The situations of the several group leaders under me are different

This gave Li Yan a headache.

So this time Li Yan did not directly appoint

Now Zhang Dong has to take the initiative to take responsibility

Li Yan also

He looked at Zhang Dong seriously and said, "Zhang Dong, you have to think carefully."

"Now the whole country is calling for resistance against Japan"

"We could stop the civil war at any time"

"Pull to the front line and fight the Japanese invaders to the death"

Zhang Dong was also very conflicted at this time.

He knew exactly what Li Yan meant.

Knowing that once I enter Meishan, I will become a logistics force

The probability of going to the battlefield in the future will be much smaller.

It's hard to avenge your brothers.

But Zhang Dong still said: "Master

"I really want to go to the battlefield and destroy the Japanese invaders"

“But that’s why.”

“I realized the importance of logistics.”

During the Battle of Shanghai

"If it weren't for our outdated weapons and insufficient logistical supplies..."

“My brothers wouldn’t have died so many times.”

"That's why I decided to go to Meishan Logistics Base"

After everyone listened

All fell silent

Li Yan stood up and said, "Zhang Dong is right."

"We Chinese are too poor."

“So we were invaded by the great powers.”

"The Japanese invaders are now even more ambitious"

"Trying to occupy the entire China with advanced ships, aircraft, and artillery"

“We are not afraid though.”

“But we can no longer afford to sacrifice human lives.”

“We want to have our own industry”

"We want to produce our own advanced weapons"

"Only when we become strong can we defeat, cripple or even destroy those enemies."

“We can truly stand up.”

At this point, Li Yan walked to Zhang Dong.

Patting Zhang Dong's shoulder heavily

He stared at him and said, "Zhang Dong"

"You graduated from a regular military academy and are smart."

"In my mind"

"You are the most suitable person to be the person in charge of Meishan Logistics Base"

"But I know you want to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese invaders."

“That’s why I didn’t appoint him directly.”

“Now that you’ve stood up”

“I am very happy”

Zhang Dong said seriously: "Commander"

"Do not worry"

"Now that I, Zhang Dong, have stepped forward, I have the confidence to build a good Meishan logistics base."

Li Yan nodded: "I believe you"

Li Yan said and walked back to his seat

Solemnly announced: "Zhang Dong"

"arrive"

"On behalf of the Party Committee of the 24th Red Division, I now formally appoint you as the Director of Logistics of the 24th Red Division."

"Also serving as the commander of the Meishan Late Base"

"The Meishan Logistics Base troops are composed of independent regiments, local guerrillas and militias."

"The independent regiment was divided into four independent battalions"

"Enter Gutian Town, Xiaotao Town, Shuangyang Town, and Wan'an Town outside Meishan"

"Based on these four independent battalions, an independent regiment of 1000 men will be formed."

"The numbers are Meishan Independent 1st Regiment to Meishan Independent 4th Regiment."

"The four guerrilla units of Guanzhi Mountain, Tiangong Mountain, Taoyuan Cave, and Futian Township were expanded into company-level combat units."

"In addition to the existing 2000 militiamen"

"Also expanded into four militia regiments of 1,000 men"

"Militia Regiments 1 to 4"

"A militia regiment is responsible for transportation"

"I will give you all the cars, horses, and mules captured in this battle."

"The Second and Third Regiments entered the defensive positions inside Meishan"

“Establish permanent barracks, outposts and fortifications”

"The Fourth Militia Regiment is responsible for internal security and espionage at the Meishan Logistics Base."

"In this way, Meishan has formed a three-level defense system consisting of independent regiments, guerrillas, and militia."

"In addition, the old squad leader will arrange a group of veteran cadres and some educated college students to assist you in building and developing the Meishan logistics base."

Everyone gasped

Four independent regiments, four guerrilla companies, and four militia regiments at the Meishan late stage base

The defensive force alone is almost 10,000.

How important is the future development of the Meishan Logistics Base?

unimaginable

But how can everyone understand Li Yan's current urgency?

This is just Li Yan's first step.
